It was the intention of the court to adjourn over from Friday to the 4th of May, but in view of the importance of an eariy settlement, the deci- sion may be handed down next Monday, The Bar Association and Judge Wylie’s Successor. At a meeting of the Bar association of the Dis- trict last evening resolutions were adopted set- ting forth “that in the opinion of the Bar asso- clation of the District of Columbia the judicial office of the District, about to become vacant by the retirement of Mr. Justice Wylie, should be filled by a District man;” and “that ‘ commit. tee of five members—of whom the president of this association shall be chairman—be appoint ed and instructed to present a copy of this reso— lution to the President and Attorney General.” ‘The Jackson Democrats, DISTRICT OFFICES UNDER CONSIDERATION— AMR, WRIGHT SAYSTHE PRESIDENT 18 PLEDGED ‘TO APPOINT DISTRICT MEN. i At the meeting of the Jackson Democratic Association last evening Mr. Julius gar ten waselected a member. After remarks by Messrs, E. D. Wright and N. Sardo on politics in general, Dr. Chas. Allen suggested that the association should take action as to the District offices, and ask that the claims of citizens of the District should not be ignored. They should ask, he said, that the successor of Judge Wylie be appointed from ourbar. ‘The Supreme Court of the United States had just reversed a decision of the court here, and said that the raliroad monopolies should not override the rights of the citizen. With stich a record as was made by our courts they should ask that Distriet men be put in the vacancies. ‘Mr. Norris remarked that the Bar association had not adopted a resolution endorsing any one f the applicants for Judge Wylie’s place, but had passed a yesolution in keeping with Dr Allen remarks, asking the President to select a citizen of the District for that place. He doubted if there was a bar in the country more legal learning than that here. He re gretted to say that some of ourmerehants had signed the application of some gentlemen not resents when they musthave known that the othcee belonged to the District. We were, he said, entitled to the appointment of the Judges if we have the men to fill the positions, apd it is, well known that we have the men, tally Gid this apply, to the place to be vacated by Judge Wyle, for he was known here asa cit zen of thirty years prior to his appointment, ‘Mr. B.D. Wright said that instead of thedem- ocrats asking for one representative on the beneh they should ask forall. Mr. Cleveland had pledged himself to the platform, and in it wasaplank declaring that the offices of the District and territories should be filled from the citizens of the District or territories. He 8 gested thata committee be appointed to wait 6n the President and ask the appointment of De a Ss cena yr. Allen of ut to the Presidont that in making appolnamient he select bona fide citizens of the Dis- Ball objected to the resolution beoanse it did not ask the appointment of a democrat. itr, Wright said to put in such a word would be an insult to the President. ‘At the suggestion of several members the rea- meeting. olution was laid over tll the next Bit ene ‘The Naval Voucher Frands. 4 MOTION TO AMEND A SENTENCE, ‘Mr. A.

Mr. Wyman’s resignation was entirely volun- tary, as Secretary Manning informed him that neither the President nor himself had _contem- lated any change in the office. The resigna- lon was sent to Secretary Manning while he was in Albany, who telegraphed in reply to await his return. Mr. Jordan, who had com- pleted his special duty at the Treasury depart- ment, was summoned to Washington irom New” York, and the treasurership was offered him'and was accepted. On account of his relations with the Third National bank Mr. Jordan is a friend of Samuel J. Tilden. Mr, Wyman’s old home is in Omaha, ‘and he looks forward to resuming his residence there with a Sreat dea of pleasure. He will move to that elty afew days after relinquishing his office.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S FIRST PUBLIC RE- CEPTION—A BRILLIANT SCENE, President Cleveland's first public reception last evening was acomplete success, Seldom has there been so large an attendance at a White House reception, and seldom has there been less of s crush. The arrangements for avoiding a conflict between those who had been: presented to the President and those waiting their turn to grasp his hand, were so complete that the five thousand people who arrived In a continuous stream from 9 till after 11 o'clock Pasied in and out without any difficulty. The utiful weather, together with the fact thet this was oe. sec and peche Dy ae Jest puvile reception of the’season, brought ov dents and sojourners in Washington in large numbers, For some time after the hour for the commencement of the reception the line ex- tended from the blue parlor through the White House, the grounds and along the avenue to the Treasury department. Very few came in carriages, Ladies and gentlemen were seen at all hours of the evening walking on all the streets leading to the White House.

IT UNSETTLES POLITICAL MATTERS IN THE OLD DOMINION AND UPSETS THE DEMOCRATIC (rATE) PLATFORM. ‘The dectsion of the U.S. Supreme Court upon the Virginia debt question embarrasses the democrats of the Old Dominion as much as the readjusters and republicans, In the early days of the debt agitation the democrats planted themselves squarely upon the anti-repudiation latform, and fought every measure in the leg- islature looking towards repudiation. But after suffering several defeats,the democrats, in state convention, resolved to accept the situation and to ackhowledge the debt as settled, in ac- cordance with the terms of the acts passed by the readfuster legislature. The last two state campaigns were fought and won upon this line, and now the Supreme Court decision upsets the democratic plattorm. Leading Virginia demoerata who had put the debt question be- hind them do not deny that the decision unset- tles matters politically in the state, and that If there is gny political advantage in it they do not see where It accrues to their party.
