The opening as com- pared with last evening's closing quotation was somewhat irre; ut generally firm, the chauges extending to 2% per cent. either way. St. Paul, Atchison, and Leadville were the only really active stocks, but there was a moderate business in Union Pacific, ——- and new C. C. C. and St. Louis stocks. The list generally rose slight fractions in the first few minutes’ trading, but afterwards gave way, and most stocks were brought below the opening prices, though the only marked improvement was in Leadville, which retired % to 259%. A rally soon followed and the C. 0. C, and St. Louis stocks displayed marked strength, and the common ad- vanced 1 per cent. to 12¢.

WHEN THERE IS NEED OF A CABINET MEETING it will probably be fouad as convenient for the members of the cabinet to go to Deer Park, and it is not at all likely that these meetings will have to be calledvery often. The Presi- dent will be more one to send for his secretaries one at a time when their presence is necessary to confer over important matters relating to their respective dey iments, Though it is not yet decided, it is likely that Mr. Halford will 0 to Deer Park with his officesin his hand- ag, and the public business will be conducted from there. bt will be very convenient at Deer Park for the President to see and consult with = members of his party upon eee matters ofimportance, butthere he will be compara- tively if not quite FREE FROM IMPORTUNITIES OF OFFICE SEEKERS.

REPAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. ‘While the White House is vacant Col, Wilson is having such touching up, cleaning and re- pairing done as the money at bis disposal will admit of.

Secretary Tracy has ended a controversy that recently arose in the Washington navy yard as to the need of the services of Mr. J. W. Pugsley, who was superintendent of the con- struction of the new ordnance shop. Qn the Ist of July Mr. Pugsley’s\ name was dropped from the rolls upon the re of Commander Folger, the superintendent of ordnance, that his services were no longer necessary, but Mr. Pugsley made @ strong effort to be retained, bringing some influence to bear on the Secre- tary, who finally consented to return the case to Capt. Meade, commandant of the yard, with the request that he give information as to whether or not Mr, Pugsley was a necessity in the yard. The report that came back was rather more in Mr. Pugslay’s favor than that of Capt. Folger, but the Secretary had in the meantime been gathering evidence in the case and perempto- rily decided that the building was sufficiently advanced to be now carried on without th perintendence of an expert at the rate of 8108 day, and he therefore declared that the office wus abolished. Mr, Pugsley and his backers came to argue the matter, bnt the Secretary was immovable, and when he was approached by applicants “for the vacancy” he told them that there was no vacancy, for the position had ceased to exist.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR DENIES THAT THE SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY GAVE HIM A “CONTEMPTUOUS TWIST OF THE EAR.” From the New York Sun. Coxconp, N. H., July 15,—Senator William E. Chandler makes the following reply to the published interview with Senator Faulkner in regard to the Blackburn episode in the Sena- torial caucus on February 22: “Mr. Faulkner effectually disproves all the sensational accounts published on February 23 and repeatedly thereafter in the Courier-Jour- nal and Atlante Constitution. He does not rep- resent Mr. Blackburn as pulling my ear or dragging me from my chair or hauling me un- resistingly about the room, or represent me as be; the protection of the committee, or as in any way deprecating Mr. Blackburn's wrath. All the misrepresentations like these, and many worse and grosser lies of those news- pers are now by Mr. Faulkner proved to been deliberate inventions of their men- dacious correspondents. If an effort is to be made to recall and give to the public the substance of all the irritating language used on both sides, Mr. Faulkner should have stated the fact that Mr. Blackburn said to me: ‘You are a damned official thief, and I can prove it.’ That must have been said before my offen- sive utterance to Mr. Blackburn, if his con- duct upon hearing this was what Mr. Faulkner says it was. The chairman, Mr. Faulknér, says, continued to sit, without the change of a muscle or the utterance of a word, and there- upon, Mr. Faulkner says, Mr. Blackburn gave- the chai "3 ear a contemptuous twist, to cast an Hg Ine Creston him. “What chi: proceeding is here de- scribed!” How becoming the conduct of Mr. Blackburn as a Senator! Whata noble pic- ture of a Kentucky gentleman is drawn by his West Virginia colleague! As if conscious that the violence of the war on Mr. Blackburn's part did not come up to the ferocity of his man- ifesto in merely s ‘contemptuous twist’ of the ear of the chairman, who ‘never changed a muscle or uttered a word,’ Mr. Faulkner assumes the rt of &@ modern Herodotus and puts a grandiloquent speech into the mouth of his hero, representing him as 8a; “Damn you, I cannot strike ‘ou are sitting down, but I y contempt for you by twisting ‘our ear. Following up this prowess on paper, Faulkner says he himself rose from his seat and delivered the following oration: “Mr. Blackburn, as Mr. Chandler has not seen fit to resist what you have done to him, your own honor and manhood demand that you should not, either by word or act, interfere fur- ther with him.’ “And so, according to Mr. Faulkner, the threatened tragedy was turned into a harmless but lofty oratorical farce. First orator, Black- burn; second orator, closing the wordy display, Faulkner. “It is painful, in view of such a self-compla- centepic as Mr. Faulkner recites. to be com- pelled to disturb his equanimity by differing from him. Had 1 seen Mr. Blackburn as his Sancho Panza saw him, I might have been frightened; but I did not so see him. Mr. Faulkner says of his hero: ‘His face manifested the most intense excitement and almost uucon- trolable rage.’ How fortunate for the cause of the Union that the frowning brow, fieryeyes and cavernous mouth of this dangerous captain were not seen 7 the forces of the federal army. When with his company he was doing ‘special service on the Mississippi river,’ how lucky that Judge Rucker did not see such intense excitement and almost uncontrollable rage on the face of this Ken- tucky statesman as Mr. Faulkner saw there. Yet in the presence of it all the chairman at the head of the table continued to sit without the change of a muscle on the utterance ot a word. The intense excitement ex- hausted itself in profanity, the almost uncon- trollable rage subsided in a moment, and a contemptuous twist of the ear, so Mr. Faulk- ner says, ended the tiger’s rampage. Bosh! “To endeavor to be serious, Mr. Blackburn did not catch me by the upper part of the ear and give it @ ‘contemptuous twist.’ I sat ‘without the change of a muscle or the utter- ance of word, as to the best way for a chairman of @ committee under such cir- cumstances to await the threatened ult very unlikely to take ae and hb did not take placa. f Mr, Blackburn touched my head at all it was only at the instant when Senator Cullom seized his hand or arm, and he stepped back and gratefully sank into the capacious and welcome arms of his deliverer. No such orations as Mr. Faulkner puts inte Mr. Black- burn’s mouth and bis own were heard by me to the extent of asingle word. Curiously enough, Mr, Faulkner not only undertakes tostate what he ‘himself saw, but ludicrously undertakes to state what Senator Platt did not see, and what Senator Culiom did see, It must have been a remarkable twist of the ear which, fol- lowing such a speech as Mr. Faulkner says Mr. burn made, Mr. Platt lookin; directly at the parties did not see, and of which the subject of the intended indignity was not aware, Yet, upon the proof of the ‘con- temptuous twist,’ the reputation for valor of the Kentucky Senator depends. Mr. Blackburn himself seems to appreciate the absurdity of demonstrating physical courage by proving that he gave the el of a committee a contemptuous twist of the ear, and in his published card dated Louisville, June 21, he wisely refrains from describing his acts, except that he says he discharged a duty, and was forced to fur- nish insolence.
