THE NEW CAVALRY POST. Increase of Force Authorized for Fort Myer ‘When Fort Myer was first garrisoned with cay- airy Gen, Sheridan expressed the intention of making St the show cavalry post of the country. In accordance with this intention authority has been granted to recruit the two troops stationed there up to seventy men each. The limit of cavalry troops usually 1s only sixty-live men, and but few nave their ranks entrely filled. The new men will be recruited here, and care will be taken to get Picked men, No more than two troops of cavalry could bespared from the frontler, and it 1s destred tomake as good a show as possible with them. Capt. Anderson brought but forty-eight men and forty-two with him from the West, us it Was in- convenient to draw upon other companies of the ‘6th cavalry on account of distance. ‘Capt. Lawton, of the 4th cavairy, brougat a full complement of 65 men and the Same nunber of horses. “Twenty-seven men will, therefore, be re- eruited for Fort Myer. Care will also be taken to secure good horses for the post. Capt. Anderson's company 1s a bay troop, aud Capt. Lawton's 1s jac It 1s expected that 140 men on spirited handsome horses parading on Pennsylvania ave- nue Will make a very creditable appearance, ‘The men Who join the cavalry are of an entirely differ- ent caliber from those belonging to the infantry or arullery, ‘Their personal appearance indicates generally a higher order of intelligence, and they are considered the best men in the Army.” An army officer, in speaking to” a Star reporter to-day ‘about “the mew cavalry, post at Fort: Myer said “tt ts only proper that the hatlonal capital should have cavalry post, al- though it 1s not expected that the troops will be needed for protection. In action they are not as destructive as artillery or infantry, but in case of a riot or anything of that kind. their mere presence has a more quieting effect than other troops in action, ‘The numerous parades of an official na- Lure which occur here Will be greatly tinproved by the addition of mounted troops. You will be sur- prised to see what a show 140 well-drilied mounted inen will inake.” ——__se0_____ Presidential Appointment, MARSHAL FOR THE EASTERN DISTKICT OF TENNESSEE. ‘The President to-day appointed W.

HE SAYS THR DEMOCRACY HOPE TO ELECT A GOV- ERNOR—THE PARTY IN THAT STATE FAVOR CLEVE- LAND'S RENOMINATION. Representative Lovering, of Massachusetts, Who has been spending a vacation in Virginia, is in the city for a few days. He said toa Srak reporter to-day that the democrats were in hopes of electing a governor of Massachusetts this fall. “Weare heavily handicapped,” he sald, “by the State election laws. ‘The republicans have hedged themselves in so as to get the benefit of alot of Uttle things that count for much in the vote of the State. There 1s @ poll-tax of $2 in the first Place. The democrats of Massachusetts are the Poor people. The republicans have the money and they go about and pay this tax and get voters. ‘The democrats raise some money and do the best they can, but their adversaries have a decided advantage in this, Then there is the confounded Jaw of registration that makes a man lose half o day from his work or else lose his vote. In Boston they have to register a month before election day. In the provincial cities they have to register two ‘Weeks before,zand in the country, where the nig tne night ‘before. ‘ail these une eaisgs y the ni fore, ese ttle count in the election,” ANDREWS FOR GOVERNOR. “Who will you nominate for governor?” asked the reporter, “Johnnie Andrews will be nomtnated it he Wants tt, It 1s pretty generally decided to give tt, to him. “He has many wealthy and influential friends, and they will probably work hard for his election if he will run. We have decided to elect four delegates at largé to the national convention and four substitutes. The State convention will be held in September. ‘This will give somethiay of a national feature to the fall campaign, whic! ‘Will be a benefit to the democrats, CLEVELAND WILL BE ENDORSED UNANIMOUSLY, andI think the campaign will be conducted on national issues, the democrats banking upon the good work of the Administration. The republ!- Cans are anxious to avold this, as they know It will give us strength in the campaign. We could carry the State on the record of the National Ad- ministration.” In relation to ’88 he sald that Cleveland would have the Massachusetts delegation at the na- tonal convention beyond all doubt, and he ex- ected him to be nominated by acclamation, AS TO THE LABOR VOTE, & matter upon which he 1s looked upon as an au- thority, being one of the strong advocates of the laboring men in the House and an active member ot the labor committee, Mr. Lovering said he did not think the situation in that respect seemed #0 threatening to the democrats asit did. He didnot think it looked much as if there was going to be a completely organized labor party that would draw votes from the democrats, ‘They seemed to be dividing, so that in ’88 there would be labor men and labor men. EXCITEMENT ON FIFTEENTH ST. Prominent Citizens Under Arrest for Leaving their Vehicles on the East Side of the Street—The Hegulation Hescinded. A policeman this morning arrested Austin P. Brown, Geo. W. Knox and F. Springman for al- lowing thelr carriages to stand on. the east side of 15th street. These gentlemen were in the Metro- Politan Bank attending to some business, and were obliged to take their places 1n the line before the teller's window. Assoon as they could receive attention they lert the, bank, intending to drive away. They were surprised to find their teams in charge of a police officer, who informed them that they were under arrest for violating the new po- lice regulations, which prohibit any teams from standing on that side of the street. They were about to be marched off to the station house when some one telephoned to the District oles, and {n- en, structions were received that the names of parties, as they were well known, could be tak und they could be released and appear in the Po- lice Court When summoned. Mr. Geo, H. B. White, the cashier of the bank, has made a couiplaint to the Commissioners, as stated in yesterday's Stax, of the {nterference with thelr business by the ‘enforcement of this regulation, Mr. White 1s very indignant, and Says that the bank’s customers will be likely to withdraw their accounts if they are not allowed to drive to the bank. He thinks that it 1s an unjust discrimination against that institution. Cashler White also said: “This regulation not only works great inconvenience, but it 18 3 posi- Uve injury to our business, Numerous contractors do business with us, and thy are in the habit of drawing out hundreds of d ilars in small bills and silver cur:ency so as to make change, Now they inust leave their veulcies on the other side of the Street and carry their money acroas, atthe risk, Pethaps, of being robbed on the way. ‘This regu- ation doey not apply to banking institucions in other portions of the city, aud we object to being Uhus discriminated against. We do not want to Talse any Issue With tbe Commisstoners, but we do maintain that this regulation” should be so modined as not to make it o burden to us On the opposite side of the street large express wagons back in $0 a8 Wo occupy the largest proportion of that side of the thoroughfare, and they frequently stand there for a long ine. But they are not disturbed. Now on this side the vehicles in which persons drive here for business do not occupy six Teet of the street, But they are not, Yea to stop. ‘They must stan. on the opposite side of the street, and the individuals must walk across to the bank to transaet their business. Commis- stoner Wheatley gays the regulation 18 only ‘a {eler,’ an experiment, and we have appealed to uu to suspend it, at leust untit Commissioner ebb shall return, and the hardship of the regu- lation may be looked into.” bs ALL ALONG 15TH STREET during the forenoon the enforcement of the regu- lation was condemned in unmeasured terms, It ‘Was denounced as an abridgement of the citizen's factlities for transacting legitimate business, and the indications are Usat there will be aloud de- mand tor the repeal or modification of that clause of the regulations, THE OBNOXIOUS REGULATION RESCINDED. This afternoon the District Commissioners re- voked the part of the police regulations that caused the diMculty on 15th street. ‘They issued an order striking out from section 6 of article IV the following words: “No vehicle shall stand upon the east halfof sald portion of said street for a longer period than 1s hecessary to permit its user Lo get in or out, nor When waiting to do so, except neXt the curb on the west side of sald portion of sald street or upon some other street,” —>_—_ At Washington Grove.

In 1849 he undertook his first extensive literary work, trans— lating and editing the text for the “Iconographic Encyclopedia,” an English verston of Heck’s Jtider Adas, published in connection with Brockhaus' Conversations Lerikon.

In 1878, upon the death of Prof. Henry, he was by the Unanimous vote of the regents elected secre- tary of the Institution. ‘An important stimulus tothe efforts of young Baird as a naturalist was the friendship which he formed as early us 1838 with Audubon, with whom he was for many years in correspondence, and rave 0 him the greater part of his irds, including most of his types of new species.
