Scott and Mr. Handall decided the nomination oi Mr , Hay , and that it was tuggested by lur. Scott. It was remarked by prominent demo cratic politicians that the president hai done well to place the two most important posi tions in the postofHco department in the hands of the west and east , because any southern men would have found the pressure upon him eitlnr as postmaster general or first assistant for wholesale decapitation of southern postmasters too strong to bo ro- nirted.

Some of the questions which the president asked wore not with out significance. Ha Inquired what the effect would bo upon the colored men if a white man should bo' put in a posit'ou now held by a colored man and a colored man put in a place now ho d by n white man. The president's thoughts seemed to bo upon the two important po&itione in this district hold by colored men - the register of the treasury by Mr. Bruce and the rccordershlp of deeds by Fred Douglass. The president said thut ho hoped that the position of the colored man in the south would be Improved under his administration , and believed that the signs of division among the colored men in the north would be of advantage in the south , where the vote would not always bo along the color line He said that ho time had come when ho thougnt It possible that nil political distinctions between the white and colored men as such should bo abandoned , and he hoped that his adminis tration would contribute to that end.

The dit content which has been growing in democrat rank * towards the new administration wa frivon utterance In deep curses over the noini nations made to-day. Democrats are gloom to-night. They o-athor in little knot ) an whisper to each other direful foreboding The dlssatufacilon IB not confined toth olliceseokora" . It might be expected that the would construe personal disappointment t , mem ruin for the party. But it is the me of high standing In the party who feel moi , downcast. Men who have bornq thn brunt < democratic fights for a quarter of a century- who have rallied the party o-ganizatl on BUI each defeat and hold It together for the nex effort at the polli It ia these men who shnfc their heads ominously nnd Bay tbat if the at - ministration gpea on aj it has begun the dem cratio party will bo disrupted long before th next presidential content. The complain from such men nre not tbat changes officia are not made rapidly enough , but when a point men ta are nude tha oeutiment of tl patty U ignored oven defied in tha sele tions , A CLOSE conroiuTioN. It is charged by democratic members ; congress that tha administration is nclo corporation , doing everything secretly , ar en ; that a few men , among whom are Randt as and Scott of Pennsylvania , Hewitt of No ire York , and Gorman ot Maryland , are runnlt ve tilings to suit themiolvei , The most pron .es nent democratic senators are ai rigi-'ly e If eluded from the confidence of the ndminl tn tration as they over were under republic ; nd rule. They are pleasantly received I an- the president and their advice attentive anhe listened to , ttad then tbo very thing they i he not advlio is "done. Leading Democrats a lie complaining that states which have be. . rt- steadily deuiociatic are passed by. while i publican states get the patronage. It Is common thing for democratia senttoi > when aiked about something relating to t ! administration and Its purposes , to Bay frin ly that they hive no more knowledge it. what ii going on or Intended th it.en they had under the lut adminiitratio Of THK KENTUCXIANS yiOUIINO MAD. ied The feeling lit * grown from one of coolm ied to one of opposition , To lay that the Ke tacky democrati are mid ii but to faintly e is prew their Indignation , Mr. Durham , w ipwai nominated to-day for first _ controller the currency wai a member of the forty-thli forty-fourth and forty-fifth congresses , a .he terved on the home committee on appropr ese tloni. Phil Thompson beat Durham for t A nomination to tha forty-ilxtb coogresi. a held the teat through the Forty-seventh nnd Forty-eighth. Durham was not bickcd by piltylcadirs of his own itate In making ap plication for the first controlcrshlp , but ho got what ia shown to be far more potent with this administration the indorsements of A. S. Hewitt and Samuel J. Randall. Finally , to-dny , v.-hen Sonrttoo Beck was advitod that Durham was to bo appointed , ho contented to Indorse his application , say ing at the time It was most _ unwillingly done. It is the common opinion among Kentnckians that Durham was chosen in order to finally kill off Phil Thompson , as , of course , two insn from the tame congressional district cannot bo very well given high places , Thompson was bickcd by all his friends for railroad commissioner , and the motive of the administration in thus pushing him aside Is construed by eomo ns nn unwillingness to offend the corporations by putting n man with Thompson's record at the head of the railroad bureau , RKVKNUK-RKFOIUIKI13 DISCOCIUQKD , The nomination of Malcom liny , a pro nounced [ protectionist , for the first assistant pastmnstor-general is regarded by the reve nue-reformers as another straw showing that they will get neither countenance nor support from the administration. It is said to-night by the democrats tbat notwithstanding- president's declaration that appointments should bo made by the heads of departments respectively , he has porsonallyand _ plainly in- dicatrd whom ho wanted put in the places so far filled. It Is said tlia : tha president's will Is the oil-controlling lower and directs every thing. GORMAN ROUNDLY ABUSED. Among the democratic senators. Got man comes in for a good share of abuse. Few of his party associates have a good word for him. Their criticisms nre no longer whlspsred , They are spoken out _ Some of the ocmo- cratic senators , in seeking to obtain appoint ments for their constituents , have discovered that the wily hand of Gorman was working against them. They eny ho 1ms hunted through all the departments , nnd has tricked out places fit for henchmen. Some of the democratic * senators predict that If tha presi dent permits himself to bo Influenced by Gor man nothing but evil can result. He is charged with being a scheming politician , seeking hU own ends In a sly , underhanded way , THE DEMOCRATIC BTATES OETTINa HEADT TO KICK. Unices the president very soon turns his attention to some of the democratic states like Missouri , Indiana and Virginia ho will piobably hear some plain talk from leaders of his paity , Some oftho _ latter nro saying that they will not remain client nnd see their party destroyed ; that nn open rupture now is bettor than to lot the undermining process go on quietly for four years. There nro promin ent democrats who , like ex-Senator KUoa still hope that things will come right. They hope that the President will yet get in fall accord with his party , but the general fooling IB one of positive apprehension. THE HAND OF BAM RANDALL , Nothing has happened since the 4th of March to so disturb the place hunters whi nre hare ns the fact that out of the long list of names which were supported by such strong congressional nnd other political indorsements none was chosen tor either of those three im portant bureau places. Some are disposed to trace the hand of Mr. Randall in two of these appointments , ns they were In tbe matter of the appointment of Mr. Miller , as commis sioner of internal revenue. Malcolm Hay is Mr. Randall' * personal and political friend , and has been nil his life. It is also true that Mr. Durham , when IB congresa , was allied to Mr. Randall's fortunes in tl.o spoakorsbip campaigns , and that the latter appointed him a member of the appropria tions committee and gave him a chairmanship bolides. Durham is a lawyer and as chair man of the committee to investigate expendi tures in the department of justice attempted several reforms. Thn plan to substitute tbo system of fixed salaries for fees for marshals and otbor officers of federal , courts was first gently pressed by Mr. Durham. When in congress he was popular with both patties , and was noted for his earnestness nnd his blunt , plain ways. Ho is a fair speaker. In personal appearance he is tall , smooth-faced unpnlar. somewhat awkward , and of the large Kentucky type. He is sixty years of ago. THE NEW FIRJT-ASSISTANT POBTMASTER-OEN- KRAL. Malcolm Hay , who is chosen for first-assist ant postmaster-general , la a familiar figure to those who attended the democratic national convention nt Chicago last July. Ho was chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation , and subsequently acting chairman of the committee on resolutions. He became practically chair ; man of the latter committee to bridge the dif ; ferences on the tariff which existed between < Morrison and Converse. Mr. Hay attracted attention while in the performance of hii duties upon the committee on resolutions , and was one of tha notable men of the convention as he perhaps would bo called the handsomest man in It. Mr. Hay is n successful lawyer ol ' Pittsburg in good practice. He has long beci actively Identified with the democratic party and has made two unsuccessful cinvosae. tor the nomination for governor. He was member of the two last democratic noini listing conventions , and In both instance was a member of the committee on lesolu tions. He is ntout 45years of sge , a Presbyterian torian and n devoted friend and adherent o Mr. Randall. Mr. Hay Is an experienced poll tlcian and an exceptionally bright and quick wilted man. His position on tuociyal servjc * is not known , but , as the oilicer charged wit the practical control nf all thenon-prosldontlt postoflicoo , he undoubtedly will eee toll tha the democratic party receives no detriment Ha was thrown into intimate relations wit Col.

The Desert News , the Mormon church organ , breaks the silence to-night for the first time , on n rumor of coming abrogation of polygamy at the spring conference. The paper argues against such action , and does not absolutely deny the rumor , admitting that a portion of the church favors the stop. The long editorial closes as follows : "Members of the church who fool and talk favorably for abrogation of the doc- torinoal points are the reverse of strong. They probably belong to a class who bnllovc in the fullness of the gospel as restored through Joseph Smith , and almost wish they didn't , or , at least , that It was not true. They would like to do the will of God , pro viding it was strictly in accordance with their own. They doiro to adhere to the church because - cause they cnnnot rid themselves of the con viction that it is tha power of God unto sal vation , but they would like its doctrines and ways more in conformity with the ways of the world , that very species of friction which causes discomfort and a temporal disadvan. tage might bo avoided. In fact they are conservative servativo Mormons , nnothar term for men , who If the church nf Christ wore mnnipulatet by them , would doubtless adopt a policy of giving up religions rights piecemeal unti every distinguishing feature between the saints nnd the world would disappear , ant they would bo loved all over the earth , because cause they would ko swallowed up by tbi woili ) , and the world loves it ) own. It wouli result in another universal apostacy , ihnila : to that which took place shortly subeequen to the time of Christ's earthly mission , Bu coming back to the starting point , all untie ! pations and predictions regarding the reception tion of rovalations to the church are necessa i rily premature , The faithful , who seek t know the will of God will not bo shaken o purpose , neither will they abandon their rell gloua principles in wholoor In part , under an : kind pf apprcheniion whatever. They would hold to their integrity , in the full exoectation of sooner or later , beholding the salvation of God. " Killed JIlH Brother , CHICAGO , March 19.
