PosT OFFICE MATTERs-Our citizens were |
somewhat startled ftom their slumbers on this |
subject, ON Tuesday morning, ly the Wesh- |
ington dispatches, containing as they did, a.
mong the names subnitted by the President
to the Senate for confirmation as Postsaasters,
that of Mrs. L. A, CARY, as Pos,misAess of
this place. No one seems to have dreamed of
such thing, and what inauepcc had been
brought to beai in bringing about such a step,
no one was able to conjecture, except that Sen.
ator Stewart OF Nevada, beiag a brother OF
Mrs. CARY, the only plausible soleiion was,
that it had been brought about by that Sena-
ator's influence. OF this, however, there is
no evidence. From the fact that Gem Gar
field was absent from Washington, and as far
as we can learn, there was no applicant for
the Office, the conjecture was the more easily
reached, as the chance seemed to invite some
one to step forward, THIS conclusion gathers
strength from what has been asserted, that this
lady had been thought of for The place at the
beginning of the last term However all this
may be, the nomination was dislastetul, not
from any special dislike OF Mrs CARY, who is
a lady of respectabiliiy and standing, but that
the nomination should have bten made with
out the knowledge or advise of our ciitsens,
and thus sprung upon them. A telegram from
Gen. Garfield assured us that he knew nothing
of the matter. 1t was then determined to tel
egraph Senator Sherman, and request that the
nominaitoh should DC held in allegiance until
action could be had. and the sense of the Re.
puOlicans of the place and viciaity could be
known. An expression, therefore, wiH be oh
tanned, and such person as may be agceed up
on, will be recommended for the position, So
far as we are informed change Ia tue oaice
is generally approved. and we understand
from Dr. Harris friends, that he hardly. looks
for q reappointment If so, perhapsa II proper
candidate for the office can be agreed upon
without excitement or strife
TIE name mentioned with the most
decided approval among our buriness men, in
this connection, is that OF Mr.. Sexton, the gen
ilemanly aud very competent assistant, now in
| the Office.
| Mrs. Cary, we learn, has since been confirmed,
