While the proceedings of the court were awaiting review | the father of the minor sued out a writ of ha- beas corpus, The United States court declined to issue the writ, holding that a minor soldier of the army in confinement under a charge of desertion could not be discharged from mili- tary service by the court until he had been re- leased from such confinement. It was also held thata minor’s contract of enlistment is not void but voidable. If he be over sixteen years of age he can be diecharged only upon the ap- plication of his parents or guardian.

EVEN THE BRIGHT SUNSHINE FAILS TO TEMPT THEM TO THAT POLITICAL MECCA—SEVERAL SEN- ATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES, HOWEVER, WHIS- PER THEIR WISHES INTO GEN. HARRISON'S EAR. ‘The office-seeker has either left town or else he bas forsaken business and is spending his days and nights in a giddy round of pleas- ure. He certainly is not at the White House, or at Teast he has not been there for two days. Yesterday was a sloppy, slushy day, and so disagreeable generally that the most enthusi- away from the nation’s political Mecca, To- | day the sunshine made the city glad and did good service in drying up the streets, but its alluring beams, which tempted the aged and the invalid into the pure air, failed to drag from their hiding places the office-seckers. Afew of them strolled into the executive man- sion during the morning, but they moved so listlessly that the majority of them could easily be mistaken for casual visitors, whos sole aim ; was a view of the east room and a careful study of the jeweled glass screen which divides the | public hall from the private apartments, SOME OF THE EARLY CALLERS. Senator Farwell and a couple of friends were early callers, and so was Senator Allison, who had with him Judge Cole of Iowa, Wisconsin was represented by Senators Sawyer and Spooner, and when they had separately seen the President they conferred seriously with each other in one of the window recesses on the ground floor. Senators Manderson and Paddock were there caring for the interests of active Nebraska republicans, while Senator Cullom saw that Illinois was not forgotten. Senator Mitchell and Judge McBride, of Utah, and Senator Platt went in almost to- ether, and after them went Representatives Butterworth, Perkins, Bergen, Holmes and McKenna, the latter accompanied by Lansing B. Mizner, of Califoryia. Representative Hitt,with Gen. Jno, W. Foster and Prof. Gallaudet made a brief visit. and so did Representative Houk with a party of friends, Other social parties were ex-Kepresentative Smalls and some South Carolina friends; ex- resentative Butler and a few Tennessceans, ex-Representative Morey, Gen. Anson G. McCook and Gov. McCook, and ex-Senator | MeDonald and a friend. Louisiana contributed a delegation composed of H. Dudley Coleman, H. C. Minor, Judge Taylor Beattie, D. A. Duperieur, Col. J. R. G. Pitkin and Pearl Wight. MEMBERS OF THE CABINET commenced to arrive just after noon. They did not seem to have any particular hour for assembly, and dropped in every few minutes, Secretary Proctor was one of the first ou the ground, and the rear was brought up by Secre- tary Blaine, who was a couple of minutes late, for business was scheduled to commence at 1 o'clock. Postmaster-General Wanamaker came up the stairs briskly at two minutes before the hour. Attorney-General Miller was a little ahead of him, aceompanied by a couple of friends—Willard A. Cobb, editor of the Lockport QN.Y.) Journal, and ex-State Senator Ellsworth, of New York. The Attorney-General intended presenting his friends to the President, but they arrived too late. Representative Mason, of Chicago, was one of the unfortunates who arrived just a little too late. The jolly, rotund Congressman has almost recovered from his recent indisposition n, ag he said, his doctors threatened him ib pheumgpia, . A TRIANGULAR STRUGGLE. The Elmira, N. Y., post-office is the cause of an interesting triangular struggle. The candidates are Edward L, Adams, editor of the Elmira Advertiser; Arthur 8. Fiteb, an Elmira merchant whose bus- | iness is in books, and Dr. Henry Flood, a! ominent physician in that Whirlpool of New ork state politics. The latter candidate draws most of his power from the fact that he isa brother to Congressman Thos, 8. Flood, of the { Elmira district. Whether this will or will not | outweigh the work done by the Adcertiser dur- | ing the campaign is the question which agi- tates Elmira just now, and the contest is being watched closely, THE RECORDER OF DEEDS. If President Harrison has indicated to any one his intention to appoint some colored resi- | dent of the District to succeed Mr. Trotter as | | recorder of deeds, he has not done so to any | one of the few who are supposed to be in the | heme contidence. Those who ought to now something of the appointment say that nothing has been, as yet, done im the matter. MR. HENDLEY'S TRANSFER. Charles M. Hendley, who has for the past twelve years been execntive clerk at the White House, has resigned his position to become Secretary Windom’s confidential secretary, The w position is much more res lucrative than the one resigned. will probably remain unfilled for at least a month. Mr. Hendley was, during the last ad- ministration, Mr. Cleveland's confidential at- tache and he also had charge of much of the President's more important private correspond- ence. poms and | he vacancy THE MONTREAL CONSULSHIP. There is quite a lively fight in progress for the United States consulship atMontreal. This is a paying place and has attracted about twen- ty-five candidates. Prominent among these is ! Mr. C. O. Shephard, of Mt. Morris, N. ¥.,who is stopping at the Arlington. He was formerly consul-general at Yokohama, Japan, and consul at Bradford England, under President Arthur. Mr. Cleveland removed him from this position for “excessively offensive partisanship,” which consisted in frequent trips from Bradford to his native soil for the purpose of lending a helping hand in republican polit THE PENSION COMMISSIONERSHIP, Corporal Tanner is said to have lost a little of his grip on the pension commissionership.

The Vice-President laid before the Senate the following note from the chief justice: Scrreme Court Usirep States, March 22. To the Senate: a It becomes.my melancholy duty to inform the Senate of the death of Mr. Justice Matthews in this city at 10 o'clock this morning. It is expected that the funeral will take place Mon- day, the 25th inst., at 1 o’clock p. m.; but fur- ther notice of time and place will be given. M. W. Fuixer, Chief Justice. ADJOURNMENT IN RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD JUSTICE. Mr. Hoar—I move that, out of respect to the memory of the eminent magistrate who, after a jadicial service so faithful and so famous, has gone to his rest, the Senate do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to and the Senate, at five minutes past 1, adjourned till to-morrow, ——— SPECIAL FREIGHT RATES. Decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in a Railroad Case. The interstate commerce commission, by Commissioner Morrison, rendered its decision to-day in the case of the Northwestern Iowa grain and stock shippers association vs. the Chicago and Northwestern railway company. It states that: “Arailroad company making different rates for the same distances on different branches of its road must justify them by showing that there is a difference in the cost of carrying on the different branches, The company by long | maintaining a rate without the presence oi com- petition on other than equal terms makes or gives evidence that such rate is not too low. Acompany which has two routes between Points cannot lawfully charge more for a shorter than a longer distance on either. A road can carry freight from poigts on its main line cheaper than another road can carry over a branch road with separate equipment to and over its main line.and where one of such branch lines must carry in competition with another road from its main line stations the rate on that branch establishes no criterion for the branches not so situated. ‘The company gave special rates to corn ship- pers in Nebraska to a point in Illinois, by means of which the corn reached the seaboard at low through rates, when the company denied, as it did, stich special advantages to corn shippers in Iowa it gave unlawful preference to Nebraska | shippers.” THE TE SEASON, Election of Officers of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association. ‘The Sonthern Lawn Tennis association held a meéting last evening at the rooms of the Co- lumbia Athletic club, The election of officers occupied the greater part of the evening, or rather the election of president. There were three candidates named for the place, Dr. MacLean, who has held the office since the association was formed two years ago; Mr. Leigh Bonsal, of the Baltimore Cricket club, | and Charles L. McCawley, of the Columbia | Athletic club, After a number of ballots the | contest was finally decided by the election of Mr. MeCawley, who is one of the best known and most popular tennis player in the city. ‘The other officers were elected as follows: Vice-president, Leigh Bonsal; secretary and treasurer, H, W.
