The announcement from Washington City, of the reappointment of Judge Thos. C. Fuller, of this city in the bench of the land claims Court was gladly re ceived. The same telegram gave the ap pointment of Henry 0. Dockery as IT. S. Marshal of this district to succeed Mar shal 0. J.. Carroll. It was noted a short time ago that a Mrs. P. F. Chase of New Hampshire had the Hug of the 4th' N. C. Regiment, and wanted to return it to survivors of that regiment. It is now proposed to have tier come to Charlotte on May 20th next and present the flag herself to the survivors of that regiment. The members of the Agricultural Board at lirst expressed themselves as much pleased with the "Rolling Exoosi tinn Oar," but afterwards part of them, headed by J. W. Bailey, concluded they would make n kick, because a whiskey house had paid for a prominent adverti ng space and used it. If the State is not a big whiskey manufacturing place, then why is the U. S. Court so crowded with whiskey catm. The majority of the board did not sustain the fanatical pro position to require the whiskey ad to be removed. Some people are too narrow minded to be countenanced. The report of the Labor Commissioner as regards the tobacco industry in the State is very full. Col. Jno. 8.

This year it met during the rair so as to see the Fair and cost the State $800. Some propose to meet every 60 days, but others say they will defeat this eveu if they have to leave and break a quoium.

Pressure on the President to Retreat. JOl'KNAL BnilEAU, Washington, 1). C. Dec. 17. j Every year when the Legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill is before Congress there is more or less talk about the need of reform in tin pay and control of the department cm oloves in Washington. Hub tune, in addition to talking, the bill puts some restrictions upon the employes, particu larly as to sick leave, which everybody in Washington knows has been abused awfully. Some day a Congress will come along with the nerve lo properly handle this business, and put it on the footing of any other great corporation. It is notorious that at least nine-tenths of the employes of the government aie paid more much more than is paid for the same class of work in private estab lishments; the other tenth, whose duties require special knowledge, experience and expertness, are paid less Hum private establishments pay for the same class of work. Representative Bingham staled ou the floor of the House that members of the Approprlati'm committer, includ ing himself, believe that more than a million dollars a year could be saved by making the salaries lit the work done in the departments, and these gentlemen are unquestionably right. The house Democratic caucus came out strong against the retirement of the greenbacks and any extension of national banking privileges or reductions of their taxes, and for the recognition of Cuban belligerency and a " just and wise-' bank ruptcy law, but it did not say a word about Hawaii, although it had been pre viously announced that the caucus would declare against annexation. A resolu tion against annexation could easily have beeu put through the caucus by a major ity vote, but us a number of influential Democrats annouueed their intention to bolt the caucus if It was done, it was decided to ignore Hawaii en tirely. The House conimitte on election of President, Vice-President aud Represen tatives in Congress has made a favorable report ou the joint resolution proposing to amend the Constitution so as lo have Senators elected by direct vole; also on a bill allowing electoral returns lo be for warded to Washington by express o registered mail, Instead ot by messengers only as the law now prescribes. No mat ter what the House may do, the Senate is not yet ready to consent to the direct election ot Senators. It is doubtful whether the sentiment in favor of the direct election of Senators is as strong in lliat body now as it was a few years ago. It is said that Senator Hnnna has d dared to the President that he will not be responsible for the President's .politi cal future if the last Civil Service Cleve land order is not rescinded. This indi cates the importance which the ltcpiihli can leaders attach to the present situa tion. The President has not yet said what course he will puisue. Republican Senators who are interested in the matter say that the 4.",000 olliccs will be soon made available for good and faithful lie publicans.
