N.W. OFFICE A LOCAL The Senate’s Idea of the Recorder of Deeds, REVIEW OF THE MATTHEWS CASE His Nomination Was Twice Em. phatically Rejected. THE HOME RULE PRINCIPLE —_—-+—— In connection with the nomination of |corder of deeds of the District the fight over the appointment to the same office of James C. Matthews in 1886 and 1887 be- comes very interesting. This was another instance of a violation of the principle of home rule as applied to the District, a col- ored man from New York being imported local office. President Cleveland, then in his first term, appointed Matthews to the Position .on the 4th of March, 1886. The nomination was referred, as usual in such cases, to the committee on the District of Columbia on the same day. On the 11th of ate by Messrs, Evarts and Miller from resi- dents of Troy and Albany, asking for the confirmation of Mr. Matthews. On the next day, the 12th of March, the nomination was taken up for consideration by the commit- tee, but final action was deferred a week, and on the 19th, on a motion to confirm, a tie vote was cast, as follows: For confirma- ton—Senators Ingalls (chairman), Brown, Palmer and Pike; against confirmation— Senators Harris, Blackburn, Riddleberger and Vance. The absence of Mr. Miller of California rendered a decisive vote impos- sible, and the tie vote was taken as a sufli- cient reason for ordering Mr. Blackburn to return to the Senate an adverse report. He delivered this report on the 22d of March, of the Senate presented a memoriai of the Jefferson Democratic Association of the District, protesting against the nomination. The Nomination Recommitted. The nomination lay on the table until the 29th, when, on motion of Mr. Harris, now the chairman of the committee, the Senate recommitted it. On the 9th of April the committee on the District again postponed consideration of the name, and on the 16th the clerk of the committee sent a letter to | Mr. Matthews, then in Albany, asking his views upon the subject of mixed or separate schools for colored and white children. This was at the direction of Senator Har- ris. On the 20th Mr. Matthews replied that germ ea eee teeth ieemn crmmnlbahd eatainieateeicr Tt Can Clean! the World Charles H. J.

On the 30th of April, on motion of Mr. Riddleberger, by a vote of 5 to 4, 9 sub- committee, consisting of Senators Riddle- to investigate charges that had been made against Mr. Matthews, of intimidation and bribery of voters in Albany. No progress being made by this subcommittee, on the 2ist of May another subcommittee was ap- pointed, consisting of Senators Harris and Blackburn, to continue the in- vestigation. A considerable amount of tes- timony was taken on the Ist of June and three days later Senators Ingalls and Har- ris reported to the full committee that there Was ho evidence to sustain the charges of intimidation and bribery. On the 25th of | June an adverse report to the Senate was ordered upon the nomination by a vote of | 7 to 2. Senators Harris and Brown voted |for Mr. Matthews, and Senators Ingalls, Blackburn, Palmer, Chase, Vance, Pike and Spooner voted in the negative. On the 3d of July Mr. Blackburn reported adversely to the Senate. Mr. Matthews Rejected. No action was taken until the 31st of July, when the Senate rejected the nomina- | tion by a vote of 14 to 38. ‘Those voting in the affirmative were Senators Brown, Call, | Camden, Hampton, Harris, Hearst, Jones ot Arkansas, McPherson, Payne, Van Wyck, Vest, Voorhees, Walthall and Whit- thorn. Those voting in the negative were Senators Aldrich, Berry, Blackburn, Blair, Coke, Conger, Cullom, Dawes, Dolph, Ed- munds, Eustis, Evarts, Frye, Harrison, Hawley, Hoar, Ingalls, Jones of Nevada, MeMillan (Minnesota), Mahone, Mander- son, Maxey, Mitchell of Oregon, Palmer (Michigan), Plum I Rid- Gleberger, Salisbury, Sawyer, Sewell, Sher- man, Spooner, Stanford, Teller, Vance and Wilson of Iowa. Mr. Colquitt in the affir- mative was paired with Mr. Chase in the negative; Mr. George, affirmative, with Mr. |; Gorman, negative; Mr. Kenna, affirmative, with Mr. Sabin, negative. On August 3, by a vote of 25 to 20, the Senate removed the injunction of secrecy from the vote by which the nomination was rejected. The Presidents Second Nomination. Miller, On the 2ist of December the President sent a special message to the Senate nomi- nating Mr. Matthews to the same position, The President said: “Opposition to the ap- pointment of Mr. Matthews to the office for which he was named was developed among the citizens of the District of Columbia os- |tensibly upon the ground that the nominee was not a resident of the District, and it is supposed that such opposition,to some ex- tent, at least, influenced the determination of the question of his confirmation. Mr. Matthews has now been in occupancy of the olfice to which he was nominated for more than four months, and he has, in the per- formance of the duties thereof, won the ap- proval of all those having business to trans. act with such office, and has rendered im- portant service in rescuing the records of the District from loss and illegibility. I am informed that his management of this of- fice has removed much of the opposition to his appointment which heretofore existed. 1 have ventured, therefore, in view of the demonstrated fitness of this nominee, and with the understanding that the objections | heretofore urged against his selection have to a great extent subsided, and confessing a desire to co-operate in tendering to our colored fellow citizens just recognition and | the utmost good faith to again submit this | nomination to the Senate for contirmation, | at the same time disclaiming any intention | a auestion its previous action in the prem- ses.” | | | | Again Rejected. This was the first official information that the President had established a very re- markable precedent by appointing, during a recess of Congress, a man to a position for which his nomination had been previou! ly rejected by the Senate. This fact creat- ed great indignation in Congr. and on the | first day of meeting of the District commit- tee after the nomination had been referred to it, January 14, 1887, by a vote of 6 to the committee refused to postpone its con- berger, Brown and Spooner, was appointed | Ingalls, | fi not consider that it is required either to admit or to deny the propriety or the cor- | rectness of the conjecture of the President j a8 to the reasons by which it was guided ; in declining to confirm the original nomi- nation. The President attempts to justify the renomination of Matthews by stating: First, that the fitness of the nominee has been demonstrated; second, that the pre- vious opposition to his appointment among the citizens of the District has largely sub- sided; third, that he desires in this way to tender just recognition and good faith toward our colored fellow-citizens. “It is sufficient answer to the first two reasons alleged to say that neither could have been applicable when Matthews was appointed in August immediately after the | adjournment of the Senate, for at that time his fitness had not been demonstrated nor had there been any interval for local opposition to subside. “Until suggested by the President, the Senate was not aware that ‘just recognition or gceed faith to our colored fellow citi- zens’ was involved in the question; and it has never before been urged that a per- son's nomination for an office should be con- firmed or rejected because he was black or becuse he was white. As to Just Recognition. “This classification has been abolished by the suppression of the rebellion and by the amendments of the Constitution, and is no longer properly to be recognized in dealing with public affairs. The Senate, however, in view of the message of the President, cannot forbear to apprise him, since he has raised the race issue, that Frederick Doug- | lass was, it is understood, requested to re- resign the office of the recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia in order that | James C. Matthews might be appointed to | the place. Without doubt, Frederick Doug- ‘lass is the most distinguished representa- tive of the colored race, not in this coun- try only, but in the world. ‘Just recogni- | tion’ would have been tendered to our col- ored fellow citizens by the retention of | Frederick Douglass, rather than by his | enforced retirement in order to reward an unknown and obscure partisan, who had |mever been a slave, and therefore repre- sented the enfranchised race only by the accident of color. The devotion of the President to the politicai and civil advance- ment of the colored race might have been equally attested and ‘gcod faith’ might have been as strongly evinced by the retention of Douglass in the office whose duties he , Was discharging to the satisfaction of the people, unless it is to be understood that ‘just recognition’ is to be tendered only to those members of that race who are sup- posed to entertain particular political opin- fons. In such a case the issue of race dis- appears, and the test is politics. A Local Office. “The Senate has no official information other than that contained in the message of the President whether Matthews is white or black. He is admitted to be a citizen of New York. The office for which he is nominated is strictly local. The com- ‘pensation for the performance of its duties is not paid by the government, but mainly by the citizens of the District having papers to be recorded therein. “His confirmation is opposed with sub- tantial unanimity by the citizens of the District without regard to color, politics or occupation. The just principles of self- government, as well as the declarations of both political parties, justify their desire that the duties of the office of recorder of deeds should be performed by some resident of the District, acceptable to those whose Property is to be affected by his acts, and who pay the entire expense of its admin- istration.” On the 7th of February, after a consider- able debate, the resolution was adopted by the Senate, 26 to 18, and the injunction of secrecy was removed from the entire case, 46 to 1, and the whole proceedings were ordered to be printed. x Se * Seen TWO SWEET YOUNG MEN.

Londonderry An Experiment on Undergrouw Wires —The Canal Claims Bill — Other Notes of General Interest. The Dumbarton Avenue Sunday school board, composed of the officers andteachers, met last night for the first time since the coming of the new pastor and made further arrangements relative to the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the estab- lishment of the M. E. Sunday school now known as the Dumbarton. There were six Rew committees appointed to help manage the affair, to be known as the committees on finance, decorations, invitations, exer- cises, receptions and coilations. The celebration comes off on the 3d of June, being the first Sunday of that month. It is the intention of the leading spirits in the movement to invite all the eld pastors and superintendents now living to take part in the exercises. The living Pastors are as follows: Reverends Little- ton F. Morgan, William Taylor, Bishop of Africa; John Lanahan, W. H. Chapman, James A. McCauley, John H. Dashiell, B. Peyton Brown, Richard Norris, J. McKen- dree Reilley, Wm. J. McKenney, W. S. Edwards. M. F. B. Rice, Edwin Amos and George Elliott. There are but five of the old superintend- ents living, namely, Mr. Charles Stocking, Mr. Julian Soper, now a missionary in Ja- castlack, was originally established on the west side of Jefferson street near the canal. Later services were held in an old building on Both street below Gay, and then again in the old 28th street school building. At the meeting last night the new pastor of Dumbarton presided.

Monday, the following day, will be given up to feasting and more substantial en- joyment, and on Tuesday the members of the present Sunday school will pay par- ticular attention to themselves. The Rev.

Steinitz and Lasker met at New York yesterday for the purpose of Playing the eighth and final game of the New York series in the chess match for the champion- ship of the world and $2,000 a side. Ac- cording to an agreement with the Franklin Chess Club of Philadelphia and the Mon- treal Club the two experts will have to play a maximum of six games at Philadel- phia and the balance of the games, or until one has won ten, will take place at Mon- treal. There will be a week intervening between the New York and Philadelphia and the Philadelphia and Montreal series. It was Steinitz’s turn to open the game. When time was called the champion first looked at his adversary and then on the board. Then he pushed pawn to king’s fourth and set Lasker’s clock in motion. The latter studied the situation tor a mo- ment, and finally played pawn to king’s third, thereby adopting the French de- fense. It is a well-known fact that Steinitz in- vented a new scheme to annihilate the French defense by means of pawn to king’s fifth, &c., but the Teuton never gave white a chance of exercising this scheme, be- cause he took the king’s pawn, also ex- changed his queen’s bishop's for queen's pawn in spite of the rules laid down by Steinitz that a player should avoid getting a minority of pawns on the queen’s side. After nine moves had been registered both players castled on the king's file and play for position commenced. At 11 o’clock last night Lasker handed a sealed move to J. W. Baird. The game will be resumed this afternoon. Fhe score follows: Etghth Game—French Defense. TEINITZ. LASKER. STEINITZ. LASKER. White. Kk. White.

It was at the house of Edward Hayes on E street that he last stopped, and he only remained there long enough’ to take several hundred doilars’ worth of diamands, so it is charged. His subsequent flight, arrest and escape from the Alleghany, Pa., jail, and his re- arrest in Chicago, have been noted in The Star. As heretoiore stated, he came from Auburn, Ind., where some of the alleged stolen diamonds were recovered. The police regard him as a clever man in his line, although they know but little of him. The circumstances surrounding his escape from the Alleghany police station shows that he is not a novice in police circles. He reached here last evening about & o'clock, in charge of two officers from Chi- cago, and was committed to jail. —_ SCHOOL CHILDREN’S DAY, They Will Be Welcomed at the Candy Exposition Tomorrow.
