The Federal Apnoin tment Is.

The clamor about the appointments of the
Federal Executive continues. General
GRANT seems to be moving on without re-
spect to the opinions of cliques and rings
and party leaders. All sides are grum-
bling. Even the carpetbag organ Of Pc
tersburg has murmur. On one side of its
Saturdays date it felicitates itself that Ge-
neral GRANT has backed up its party, while
on the opposite side it exceedingly regrets
theremovaln Of "Mr. 0. II. RUSSELL"
In national point of view the perplexities
Of the carpet-baggers in this locality are Of
10 consequence; but to themselves they are
inconceivably important. Things do not
move to suit them, and they frequently ex-
perience that awful humping which is the
fate of passengers on train that is off the
track.
Among the most notable of oomplainants
is the New York Herald, which appears to
have almost determined upon war against
the Administration. That paper in it's Sa-
turday's issue declares that in the great rush
for Office "every qualification except merit
'shas been pressed for recognition, and as
Ga general thing has been recognized"
This is pretty strong for paper which
supported the nomination Of General GRANT
with perhaps more efficiency than any
other. 1t further declares that "true
liability to fill the Offices of honor and trust
"has given place to bullying, blatant, and
"ignorant men, whose method of seeking
can Office is the best proof that they ere
entirely untitled to fill it with dignity"
10 this element the Herald declares the
President, "with all his irmneas, is yield
ing" adding that it "bodes no good for
the future" Taking occasion to specify q
recent case, that paper styles the appcintee
to the Court of Brazil "an illiterate Metho-
dist clergyman" With such examples be-
fore US, it says, "Well may monarchists
laugh" at I" cur grand American sytem,"
- for 1t is q system alone notable for its
power to shove mediocrity to the surface"
The New York Times, once considered
= the peculiar organ of General GRANT, is not
less positive in disappearing the nomina-
tons aud the removals Of the President.
: 1t asserts that his pledge "that faithful and
=" efficient officers would not be disturbed,
" no matter to what party they belonged"
has been gricvously disappointed" 1t
concludes that the old style CT accepting
the pressure and dictation Of politicians T"
has been adhered to pretty Closely" and
"the sweeping reforms so loudly promised
land 80 eagerly expected seem to have
been indefinitely postponed
This is strong language, coming from that
quarter. In this part Of the world We are
little concerned, having absolutely nothing
/. to do With parties, and none Of those whom
we recognize as Virginians being in the
line Of promotion. Little is known here Of
the greater portion Of the men appointed,
and we cannot speak Of their fitness for the
positions assigned them. One thing, how
eses' is very clear, that no party or CLIQUE
seems 70 be satisfed with what Genera,
GRANT has done in the mater OF anno;,t.

Basil Brawner, Of Prince William county
Va, has sold 500 acres Of land in that
county to Ellis Lundy, of Wyoming county,
Pa, for twenty-five dollars per acre.
The Clinton (Louisiana) Democrat states
that resident of that place gathers suffl-
cient quantity of tea leaves from the Chi
nese tea plant grown in his garden to more
than suffice for the requirements of his
household.
A feud Of some months duration, which
has destroyed the happiness Of the Roman
Catholic Church of the Holy Family in Au-
burn, and which arose in dispute between
the pastor and the bishop, has been settled
by the suppression of the recusant Father
O'Flaherty.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
Bovine GREEN, April l9, 1869.
Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock two
negroes, awaiting their trials upon the
charge Of larceny, made their escape from
the Jail in this place. 1t is supposed that
the Tailor, by accident, did not lock the
inner door, as the lock was found unln-
iured, and he had left the outer door open,
as is his usual custom in the daytime.
The Rev. Mr.. Arnold, Of Sycamore
church, in your city, will continue his min
istrations here during this week. BE has
been greeted night after night with the
presence Of large and deeply-interestedi
congregations, and has not only confirmed
but surpassed the reports that preceded his
coming among US by his elegant oratory,
simple earnestness, and lucid exposition of
the Word of God.
Nearly all Of the peaches and cherries in
this section were killed by the recent cold
snap, but understand that apples, plums,
etc., have received very little, if any, in
jury.
The farmers are busy planting CORE.

ASAMpLE OF THE TIMEs.-The New York
Times, commenting upon the corruptions OF
the New York Legislature, objects to charg-
ing them upon the Democrats. 1t says:
"In the Senate, the votes of Humphrey,
Williams, Nation, and Van Petten, are
always to be had for any venal project, no
matter how fragrant and shameless, and the
same sort of Republicans are always OBJ
tainable also in the Assembly"

A New Orleans exchange of the
10Th says.
Yesterday i petition was presented to
Judge Duvigneaud by Messrs. Charvet
and Duplantier, praying that Pierre
Soule be interdicted, and that a curator
he appointed to take chargeof his affairs
The petition alleges his permanent and
complete prostration and incapacity.
This distressing misfortune has long
been known in the community From
delcacv to his esteemed family, it has
not been regarded as proper to be re-
ferred to in the public prints This
reason can no longer suppress the ex-
preston Of cur profound sorrow and
sympathy for the distinguished gentle
man and his afflicted family The I'M
happy condition of Mr. Soule has been
produced by family sorrows of the most
distressing character His only son
sometime ago manifested symptoms Of
mental alteration. These have become
permanent, and now both father and
con demand the incessant care Of both
relatives and friends.
