said to have been effected in the following way
Creswell has cousin nsmed DR.. Strohecker, In
Macon, Ga who desired 10 control the patronage OF
the Assessors ONCE aGd therefore used mis- innu-
ence with Cresswell TO have Mr. Whitehead appoint
ed the understanding being that Whitehead
should appoint relative OF Creswen to
position under him, and permit StrOhecker to
manipulate the patronage At the same
time Delano had friend who was working
to obtain the postal agency for one of the
new districts out West. The story goes that
thereupon Creswell ana Delano struck bargain,
the former agreeing TO give Delano's friend the
postal agency on the condition that Whitehead
Creswelrs man-shOulG be appointed to the Georgia
assessorshp. This bargain literally carried out.
Now it seems Whitehead has refused to allow Cres-
wells cousin to enjoy the patronage of the
ship according to promise though he appointed Mr..
Scott relative Of Creswell, TO a clerkship under
him. The consequence is that there Is a grand rum
pus. Strohecker has let the cat out OF the Bag and
Young has come here armed with afldavits to prove
that Whitehead was not only REBEL but everything
else that might be deemed disreputabe. 1t is very
pretty quarrel as 1t stands
