This day had very little excitement in it for the army of office-seekers, The Senate was not in sessiog, and as no appointments would there- fore be made, there was neither nor gratification to watch for in the line. The thing that disturbed them was that two good days were being wasted. According to their way of thinking a great many nominations might be sent in to the Senate dur- ing two days. But until Monday, now tone can be hoped for. They live now in ex- pectation that a big batch of nominations will go in on Monday as the rosult of the delay. Of course the Senate would not have adjourned over if they had not known that the President had no further use for them during this week. This is merely another indication to the minds of the office-seekers that the President is in no sort of hurry. No policy has yet been an- nounced to anybody, but it is thought that one has been pretty plainly indicated by this delib- eration. Politicians are talking about is e A DELAY IN FILLING THE FIRST-CLASS FOREIGN MIs- ‘SIONS, It was popularly expected that they would all have been filled by this time. The delay gives rise to the rumor that there is a hitch some- where, but the chances are that the only itch” is that General Harrison wants to go slow en to be sure of doing the right thing. It is said that Mr. Blaine wants the British mission given to Whitelaw Reid, and that some of the members of the national com- mittee are opposed to Reid’s selection for that i mission. It is undet that uncey Depew is being pushed for the ish mission, MR. JOHN 0. NEW arrived in the city last night. From the mo- ment he reached the city he was beset by of- fice-seekers, who assume that his influence would be potent to get them most anything they want. They all poston tes he has some sort of mot on everything under the ad- ministration, and can, by merely saying the word, have anything done. They have been pre upon him almost as much to-day as upon the President. They want to reach the President through him. It is general believed that Mr. New is booked for a foreign mission, and that to Austria is erally mentioned as the one he will get. He says he is not getting anything; that there is no foundation in the statement that he is to go abroad. COL, FRED. GRANT called on the President to-day, and it is sup- posed that they had something to say abont the Chinese mission. Col. Grant’s friends say he will be United States minister to China, GENERAL GOFF, who has been trying to get his seat as governor of West Virginia and to straighten up affairs out there, has returned to Washington after his failure to get what he considers justice out of the supreme court of the state, and to-day had an interview with the President. It is sup; d that he has some very decided views as to the methods of conducting elections in the south. His friends assert that had there been a fair deal he could either have been elected Senator or governor. , THERE IS A CONTEST ON HAND between Maryland and Delaware over the col- lectorship of internal revenue for that district. Senator Higgins wants D. Dawson, of Delaware, appointed; and the Maryland candidate is G. T. Biggs. Gen. Agnus, of the Baltimore American, saw the President and Secretary Windom in the interest of Biggs to-day. He had a very pleas- ant interview with the President, and is con- fident that his candidate will be successful. MANY CALLERS THIS MORNING. A. R. Hart, of Brooklyn, candidate for public printer, had an interview with the Presi- dent to-day, and came from the White House expressing confidence to his friends that he would be appointed. It is said to be settled that A. S.

South Washington Citizens Answer Maj. Raymond on the Railroad Question. Messrs. C. H. Parker and Philip N. Dwyer, representing the South Washington Citizens’ association, replied to-day to the endorsement of Maj. Raymond on their letter respecting the tracks on H street southeast, which was pub- lished in Tue Star. In their communication handed to the Commissioners to-day they say: “The published endorsement by the engi- neer Commissioner on # paper relative to rail- road obstructions, submitted by the under- signed, calls for a reply, which will be to the point. We are neither sworn nor paid officials of the District and do not consider ourselves the proper persons to assist the Commissioners in doing their duty. Is there nota number of sworn Officials (see obstructious to police and lice Uy heer whose business it is to see t the United States statutes are not violated, and thatthe streets are not obstructed? We think it would be a very simple thing for the Commissioners to pause a few minutes and recall a few instemces where the railroad is obstructing certain streets in direct violation of the law, and in fact under the written permission of the Commissioners. _ opinion of the attorney for the District in e matter of switch into gas company’s works, Southeast Washington.) Would it not be a very simple matter for Major Raymond to ex- amine the record, send one of his assistants or go personally, visit the localities and make the necessary affidavit?

THE “AUTHOR OF DON’T” TAKEN TO TASK ON POINTS OF ETIQUETTE. To the Editor of the Evenine Stan: Of course Tae Stag is not responsible for the opinions of correspondents, but when the “Author of Don't,” as an authority, gives such advice as was set forth in “Etiquette and Man- ners” in last Saturday’s Star, a reader may at least criticise the “Author of Don't” as an au- thority. Customs may be slightly different in different cities, and we have some peculiar to Washington, but I think all I shall notice will apply as well to one place as another. In the first letter quoted the answer “yes” is given to the question ‘is it gg ee 2 for ladies to take off their bonnets at a formal luncheon?” I say decidedly no; in fact a formal luncheon is often oken of asa “bonnet” luncheon, implying the most universal wearing of bonnets at such en- tertainments. Again, in reply to letter third, “yea” is an- swered to the question whether guests should leave cards at an evening reception. Again I sayno. It is not customary, in this city at least, for guests to carry card cases, or leave cards, where they would appear in full dress. In letter twelve, I take two exceptions to the answers given. An “At Home” is defined as meaning in @ hostess “merely being at home at the time designated, and does not imply an entertainment of any kind.” The generally ac- cepted definition of an “At Home” in Washing- ton would be an evening reception, with guests in evening dress, music generally, flowersand an elaborate supper, instead of the ‘no enter- tainment” prescribed by the ‘Author of Don’t.” But most absurd of all is the answer given to the question “What is a casd reception?” “A reception in which cards are introduced—pro- gressive eucher. whist, &c.,—and usnally fakes place,” whatever that may mean, “‘at 8 o'clock!” Certainly our authority cannot have been in Washington during the past four years,where the card receptions of the White House and cabinet have been such features of social life. If she had been here she would understand what is the significance of a card reception, oue for which cards of invitation are sent to all ex- pected guests, in distinction to the general re- ceptions given weekly by in official life, where everybody is welcome, strangers as well as friends. Possibly the ‘‘Author of Don’t” has heard that a card reception is soon to be given at the White House under the Harrison regime. I wonder if she were to be a bidden guest whether she would expect to be regaled with old maid, or sive eucher. She might carry off the Gazette, | bodby prize! ‘Commox 8 the ys SENsK. y to stoc! companies, ming of Messrs.
