Army circles are being stirred to their depths at present by the exciting fact that the Presi- dent is supposed to be considering the claims of the applicants for tive desirable staff’ posi- tions. In fact he bas an unusual amount of army patronage at his disposal just now, for, in addition to these places, he still has three at-large cadets to send to West Point, and one from the District of Columbia, thus making nine ap- pointments within his power. In consequence of this, and of the delay with which the ap- plications are being considered, there is a rich harvest of rumors and speculations reaped | from day to da The staff places to be filled are a judge advo- cate with the rank of major, an inspector-g eral and major, two commiswaries and captains, and one quartermaster and captain, The number of applicants for these places is astonishing. Their name is legion. One officer gave «a general «idea of the number to a Star reporter this morning by saying that probably every first lieutenant in the line of the army is cither an applicant, or is now reproaching himself for not being one. ‘There are certain ling officers who spend a great part of their spare’time in keeping a watch on the roster of the staff, aiting for a vacancy. When one oceurs the Lene flood in from all quarters, all arms of the service, nd even from outside of the army. ‘THE DISAPPOINTED. / An officer on duty at the department said to- day that while there wil! be just five men made happy, there will be about five times five bit- terly disappointed, and five! times twenty slightly so. There are alwayy five or six ofti- cers who are absolutely sure /that they are to be appointed, while the remainder of the a plicants have but faint hopts. Many are old in the business of applyiig for staff poxi- tions, who ve been ‘putting in their year, and have aimost lost on zpplying: Bai why dant teat Prmtleht Murs and make his selection? is asked on ail sides.

Then hp is supposed 5) and one of the Allegations of fraud are to be made by two | of the defeated republican electors against two democratic electors holding certificates of their election from the state board of canvassers, 8 to be thus begun ig to be ! brought in a state court at Richmond, and the other in the federal circuit court of the state | sitting in that city. The movement agreed on is that as soon as the state board of canvassers, which meets next Monday in Ricbmond, shall declare the result of their canvass to be the election of the democratic electors the two re- | publican electors just referred to shall file in- {formation and complaint setting forth the fraudulent means by which the election of their contestees was brought about. Technically speaking the proceeding will be in the nature of a writ of quo_warranto, under power of which it is contended the judges ap- plied to may bring the accused electors into | court reqniring them to answer all the com- plainants’ allegations. The proceeding thus commenced would go on in the nature of any other contested-election case. If the court should hold that the electors brought before it were entitled to be confronted by their ac- cuser’s witnesses, the writ being in the nature of a criminal proceeding, then it would prob- ably be necessary to have the personal attend- ance of many hundred voters, but if not so holding the testimony would be taken in writ- ing before magistrates and notaries public of the state. DEBATING THE IMPORTANT STEP, The resolution to take this step has been at- tended, so the parties making it say, by all the hopes and fears belonging to the gravity of the issues involved. No unchecked responsibility ppetite sharpened by political greed is the cause of the important action they are about to begin. They say when Chairman Quay became convinced, through statements of Gen. Mahone, that the republicans had carried the state on an honest count of the ballots, he cautiously sent Col. Parsons, of Natural Bridge, Va., to make personal inspection of the charges and report to headquarters in New York. On re- ceiving Pursons’ report confirmatory of Ma- hone's statements, Mr. Quay came to this ci Here he was met by Mahone and a conference th Gens, Butler and Henderson as ers, 'G THE REPUPLICAN MAJORITY IN THE HOU It was feared by Chairman Quay at this time that the democrats would attempt to organize the House through an unlawfal issuing of cer- tificates of election to defeated democratic didates in Virginia and other southern states, At this first meeting the pressing ques- tion, therefore, was how to restrain by federal or state authority the canvassing boards from the action apprehended by the republicans, It was finally doubted, however, Whether any restraining order of the courts would suffi- ciently restrain any ostensible majority of cer- tified members {rom organizing under the pre- vailing rules of that body. Arepublican majority beg: loom up also, and finally the con- gressional part of the ‘contemplated proceed- ings was given up and in its stead an arraigi ment of the presidential electors agreed on, Both Chairman Quay and Gen, Mahone deny any desire for mere party advantage. Mr. Quay, in one of his earliest dispatches from New York, used words to Mahone about as follows: Give us your exact situation in Virginia, We don’t » our vote, but want the facts of r election ‘They do not ignore, however, th to the republicen party of developing and prov. 1uds at the south, and if foiled in their present efforts, looking to the courts will Congress. they say, to the neces- sity of enacting suitable laws for the protection of the bailot, WHAT COUNSEL Say. pe importance ve this morn- “We are without explicit federal or state statutes empowering and regulating our ill we have strong hope of discover- nt remedy somewhere.

Judge Bond promptly assumed jurisdiction by issuing a writ of habeas corpus, under whic he released the prisoners, He held that a state board of canvassers, in canvassing the voles for presidential electors, were acting primarily in pursuance of the Constitution of the United States, and could not be restrained in their dit ties by writs of prohibition, mandamus, &c., issuing from state courts, in the proceeding determi Meser: and Ge ie year. in the time and, after ¢ sults, were d on last night Sheltabarger & Wilson, of this city, .

He May Not Come to Washington Be- fore the Fourth of March. “Gen. rison does'nt send me any news,” said Rev, Dr, Scott, the President-elect’s father- in-law, to a Star reporter last night. “He probably thinks it will save me the trouble of telling it if ne doesn’t give me eny. Of course Thaye heard from my daughter since the elec- tion. I have received two or three letters, and my granddaughter, Mrs, Parker, has abo received some, though the general would not visit Washington those portraits are not good, and they could not be sure that this gentleman was Mr. Mor- ton. It was the Vice-President-elect. He is looking as well and happy as if he had been ; elected without the worry of a hotly contested campaign. He has even gained flesh since he was last seen in Washington, and his com- plexion is as clear as that of a man of thirty. He wore a very shiny beaver and a dark blue overcoat, buttoned closely across his chest. He extended his hand and received the con- gratulatioas of Tur Stax reporter with a pleas- ant'smile and the remark that he had JUST RUN OVER FROM NEW YORK with his architect to see how his building was getting on. He said his health was admirable, and chatted pleasantly about his new building and about things at Washington with which he is familiar, By that time several persons had recognized him and advanced to shake hands, ‘The presence of a son of the late Mr. Kennedy. who was a friend of his, called to mind that sad tragedy, and he questioned the son as to what cowld have lead to violence againsta man whom he could not conceive of having an enemy in the world. HIS INTENTIONS. To the Stax reporter he said that he would be in Washington only one day, and would return to New York to-night or to-morrow morning. The only object of bis visit was, he said, to see the new building. He had not yet decided upon any arrangements for his Wash- ington home, beyond that he would not occu- py #partments in his flats, but would take a private house for next winter—a year hence. le said that there was no need for him to think of that yet, as he thought it would not be necessary for him to be in Washington more than a short time in March, until about the time of the opening of the Fifty-first Congress. He and Mra. Morton would'then take a private ouse, AS TO HIS PROPOSED VISIT TO INDIANAPOLIS, he sai that thedate was not yet fixed, He would return to New York from here, and at Some time when it would be convenient for General and Mrs, Harrison, and he should have the opportunity, he and Mrs. Morton would go to Indianapolis. It would be a purely social visit and an opportunity would be taken when it could be made as quiet as possible. While he was talking Senator Cameron came up and shook hands with him and exchanged inguiries as to health and family. After looking over the outside of the build- ing, Mr. Morton walked down the street alone, escaping recognition and thereby the annoy- ance of a crowd, and called at the offices of his two deceased friends, Mr. W. W. Corcoran and Mr. Kennedy, The Vice-President-elect is accompanied by Mrs, Morton, They are the guests of his sis- ter, Mrs. Hobson, on N street. TTS" PRT RP ITS OWN-HAN DS. Representative Lodge on the Future of the Republican Party, Ete. Representative Lodge,of Massachusetts, is in the city for the winter. A Star reporter had a few minutes’ chat with him on the street cor- ner this morning. He is, of course, highly pleased at the result of the election and be- lieves that the republican party has great op- portunities and serious responsibilities before it. NEW ENGLAND AND THE CABINET. “We would all like to see Governor Long in the cabinet,” he said. ‘He ista man eminently suited for such a position, but I think it very doubtful whether he would accept, I do not think he could be induced to enter public life again. It would be a great personal sacrifice for him to do so, He cannot afford to remain in Congress, He is not rich enough. A cabi- net position would be much more expensive to him, Itis well known that a Congressman can live here be! on five thousand a year than acabinet officer can on eight thousand. A cabinet officer must spend much more money then his salary would warrant.” WITH REFERENCE TO THE SPEAKERSHIP. Mr. Lodge said he was surprised on reaching here to find how many men were spoken of for the position, “The party has so ma men,” he said,“‘it is hard to say which one ; they may select. All the New England folks ill, of course, be for Mr. Reed. I think he ned it. He was made leader et a time Was not such a pleasant position,” OF THE FUTURE POLICY OF HIS PARTY he said that the responsibility placed upon them was greater than it had been for many years. The utmost wisdom was demanded of them. It was in their power, he said, to per- petuate their control of affairs or to destroy themselves. He said he did not know when any party had had its fate in its own hands as has the republican party now. Machinery for the Maine. THE NAVY DEPARTMENT INVITING PROPOSALS FOR 1T8 CONSTRUCTION. The Navy department has invited proposals for the construction of the machinery for the United States armored cruiser Maine, now building at the New York navy yard, which are to be opened February 15, 1889. Proposals will be received from every American ship- builder and other — who shall show that within three months after contract he will be in possession of the necessary plant for the performance of the work. All of the machin- ery is to be of the best and most modern de- sign, constructed in ‘dance with the depart- ment’s designs, The engines must have ap- pliances for working under forced draft, and ailof the machinery must be delivered com- plete within two years and six months from the late of contract. and must be erected 2hd con- nected on board within twelve months after the vessel is ready for its reception.
