Plenty are to be seen in Wash- ington to-day. Take, for instance, some of the senators and congressmen whose terms expired on the 4th of March last, and who were not re-elected. Ex Sena- tor Jonas before he was sent to the sen- ate was one of theleading lawyersof New Orleans and had an Income of more than $20,000 8 year. He could now, with little effor*, regaln his extensive prac. tice, but his inclinatlons are not In that way. He has no intentlon of dieappear- ing from public life. His friends, know- ing this, have urged him for varlous po- sitions—at first for a seat In the cabinet, then for a forelgn mlission, and, faillng in both, have at last secured the promise of his appointment as collectorof customs at New Orleans, which office dues not yield one-fourth of the income he could gain by returning to the bar. Ex-Senator Willlams {s another appli- cant for office who could do better by re- suming his occupation at Mount Sterling but having enjoyed a seat in the senate for six years, he can find no happiness in his dull Kentucky home. Up toa week ago Mr. Williams worked hard for the exioan miselon and sundry European consulates, The president failed to eee his qualifications for those poeltlons, though they were plotured in all the flowers of Kentucky rhetoric by his friende, 80 now the ex-senator announces that his political aspirations have no definite alm, but that he Is ready to serve his country in any capacity whatever, A atill sadder example of the demoral- Izlog influence of office s ex-Senator Withers of Virginia, whom Mahone suc- ceeded in 1881, Since that time Mr, Withers has been makiag herculean ef- forts to return to public life, while the voters of the state seem quite determined that his light shall remaln within the lmits of Wythe county. He has tried for congress, for the state senate, for the house of delegates, for everything in the gift of the people of his section, and he Is now a candidate for presidential appolntment. It is likely that he will fail in this ambition also, for Virglnla has already a foreign mlssion and the commiesionership of rallroads. Ex-Senator Hereford, of West Virginla, has no psrticulsr office in view, but would not be displeased to hear from Mr. Cleveland any morniog. His ad- dress Is at the white house and at all the departments, so that In case of need there will be no trouble In locating him.

Thare is a question whether Manderson or Miller is on top, which can only be settled when the senate sgain meets, &e can only say in conclusion, that if Dr. Miller had a grudge sgainst Plattsmouth he had no better method of satistying it than by this assistance he has given the machine.

San Francieco Alta Californian, . The Oakland ferry landing and the {im- medisate neighborhood were the scenes of much excitement yesterday morning In consequence of the arrival of a distin- guished stranger, who figured in the passenger st as ‘‘Charles Mitchell of England.” Mr. Mitchell boasts the title of champlon puglllet of England, and this fact and the additional one that he was coming to San Francleco to fight all local celebritles of the fistic art, crowded Market street for a block with an admir- ing multitude. Harry Maynard, to whom the British pugillst 1s under en- gagement, had arranged what he re- garded as a fitting reception tothe gladla. tor. A barouche with four splendld bays stood olosa to the ferry to recelve the manly form of the boxer, while the Second avenue baud, resplendent in fits best uniform, was drawn up on live near the gate to aonounce melodi- the glad Intelllgence of Mr. Mitch- el fo arrival. As the moments flaw by the crowd around the ferry grew so dense that locomotive was only ancom. plished by herculean efforts. Every drayman and hack drlver bolted to see the gladiator, and for a few minutes ev- ery honest industry but that of the police was suspended, The officers had hard work to clean a path for the people on the 11:15 boat, which brought the over- land passengers. Every athletic looking stranger who emerged from the gate was subjected to a scrutioy, and the pos- session of & square jaw or a thick neck brought on the unsuspecling owner a er of such comments as, *‘There he *‘He’s & hard-looking game,’’ *'Looks like a fighter,” etc. Several estimable cltizens of Oakland were thus uninten- tionally maligned. A prominent wnhti man who was mistaken for the Britls) pugilist on account of the slfghtly re- trousee curve of his noze and the exter- nal superficlal area between his ear and his chin, was surrounded and nearly mobbed by an exclted crowd of admiring sluggers.
