WASm-VOTON, Jujy 3,
There Is reason to believe that tho
President designs appointing a New
Englander to the office of Postmas
ter General. It is known that a
telegram has been sent to Europe,
tendering the position to a gentle
inaunpwthpre, 8ni ajthough t9
name is not authentically men
tioned, Minister Jewell, at St. Pe
tersburg, is supposed to be the person-
The appointment of Minister Jew
ell as postmaster general, is gener
ally received with "favor. " Surprise
is expressed that the president
should recall a minister who has
not been long at h3 post, to dis
charge the duties of au executive
office at home. Although Jewell is
popular at St Petersburg and finds
his position agreeable, it has been
known that Ijo prtferred an office in J
Mis own country to a diplomatic po
sition abroad. The sottllng up of
his affairs in Russia and the time
necessarily occupied on the return
voyage will prevent him from nter
ing upop tiifl postmaster gtinoralship
before the first of August.
As the Jaw provides, that during
the absence of a Cabinet offioer, the
appointment of oqe ad interim shall
not not continue for a longer period
than ten days, ant as tfjg absence
of If r. JpwflJl yilj necessarily bfor
a longer time, the president tc-day
fully commissioned Wrst-Asslstant
Marshall as postmaster general to
serve as such officer until Mr. Jewell
himself ahal be preparea to assume
the dqtpf the position.

Some time since Hon. Fernando
Wood was called upon by a woman,
Mrs. Samuel B. Murdock, and re
quested by her to get a place In the
Treasury department for her, she
being from his district, and was re
commended bj his constituents.
He wrote aletter to Mr. McArthur,
superintendent of the bureau of en
graving and printing, who gave her
a position in his bureau. Some time
afterwards she called on Mr. Wood
with a man purported to be her
husband, and desired Mr. Wood to
obtain a place in the department for
him; not liking the appearance of
the man, M r. Wood did not do any
thing for him.
Subsequent to this, on the 17th of
June, Mrs. Murdock called at Mr.
Wood's residence, ostensibly on be
half of her husband, and remained
perhaps twenty minutes and went
away. On Friday morning follow
ing, at about Ijalf-pastbpyeu o'clock,
Mr. Murdock suddenly appeared in
the room of Mr. Wood, while he
was dressing, and charging him
boldly, with having had criminal
intercourse with his wife.
On the Wednesday previous he
demanded that his wounded honor
should be healed by tho nayment of
a large sum of money, at Uu same
time putting his right hand in his

London, July 3.
Leicester square was yesterday
formally opened to the public. An
immense crowd was present, busi
ness in tho neighborhood of the
square being entirely suspended and
houses were decorated with flags
and in the evening illuminated.
In the House of Commons, last
night, the discussion of Dr. Butt's
Homo rule resolution was resumed.
Mr. Fralee said tho home move
ment was a miserable compromise
by those who did not dare to force
the facilities of Fenianlsm; he ac
knowledged the desire of England
to conciliate Ireland, and said that
this agitation would be in defense of
gratitude justice and common sense.
He said tho ultimate object of the
leaders was to force a repeal of tho
union, and their success would
plunge Ireland into a civil war, and
annul the present progress in that
country.
He said further that if England
continued to remove every pretext
for the plea for the misgovernment
af Ireland, the result would be tho
disgraceful failure of" the move
ment. He firmly believe! its suc
cess would, bring rujn to' almost
every man in Ireland.
Robt Dowen, a member from the
University of London, said that the
establishment of a local Irish parlia
ment necessitate the establishment
of similar bodies in Scotland and
England, and the result would bp,
constant disputes and difllf ultjes.
Mr, Pjarp.U was'ii.na"ulp to agree
that Ireland had a right to a greater
amount ot self government, thai
Scotland or England.
He demonstrated tho groundll
ness of the complaint that Irishmen
were, nqt appointed to high offices
of the government, and denied tlia.t
Ireland was treated as a conquered
country. Hp &ajd tllllt twq pfjmrate
Parliaments would he constantly in
collision, and tho minority of the
Irish parliament would be always
appealing to the imperiiil pailia
meut He opposed the motion heeair-c it
was injurious, to both countries at
tho groat crisis which -a. nearer
than some supposed. He viLshcd
the people would accept this motion
which would produce disintegration
in England, and might result In
destruction of the empire. Messrs.
McCarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, O'Con
nor and others spoke in support of
the motion.
