TEzE EAST NEW POSTNIASHEIe
GENERAL.

Mr.. Hale, who succeeded Mr.. Cres-
found the air of Washington City in-
furious to his health. and upon the
advice of his physician, applied for a
few weeks leave of absence. Presi-
dent Grant did not agree with Mr.
Hale's Doctor, however, or at any rate
he refused to permit Mr.. Hale to leave
his post of duty, and thereupon the
new Post Master General, not yet
warm in his new place, at once re-
signed it. Straightway the position
was rendered by cable telegram to Ex-
Governor Marshall Jewell, of Connec-
ticut, now United States Minister to
Russia. Mr.. Jewell accepted at once,
and will speedily return to this
country.
Meanwhile Speaking of Governor
Jewell, the New York Tribune says:
Nh. Jewell doubtless owes his ap-
pointment to his relations with the
President, with whom he has been on
terms of the most cordial intimacy for
many years, rather than to any special
qualifications for the place. Still he
is man of good character, undoubted
personal integrity. and practical bust
ness talent, and will, without doubt,
prove an efficient and energetic officer
His political experience in any promi-
nent capacity dates from the year 1868,
when he was the Republican candidate
for Governor of Connecticut, and WAS
defeated by James e. English. He
was elected in 1869, defeated again by
Mr.. English in 1870, and reelected in
1871 and 1872. In 1878 he declined
and little later was
Minister to Russia. He has
been discharging the duties of that po
sition at st. Petersburg not quite
year, and the notice of his appoint |
ment found him on the eve OF two |
months leave of absence. Judging
from his private letters, some of which |
have been published by, indiscreet |
friends, the duties of diplomacy did |
not suit his active disposition, and |
the recall from St. Petersburg to a
more congenial place anda more active |
life IS no doubt very gratifying to him. |
The readiness of his acceptance indi- |
Gates entire willingness to make the
exchange; indeed, he made no secret
before going abroad of his preference
for some Cabinet position for which
his business habits and training fitted
him, rather than diplomatic Office
for which he distrusted his fitness.

Since the fatal wounding of a col,
ored man in Charleston by trap gun,
while he was attempting to steal, the
colored element there have expressed
great dissatisfaction with the murder
Gus but effective plan. The Nccs and
Go,trier' says: "a few evenings ago
there was a crowd of colored persons
Ill front of the Court House discussing
the Robertson shooting case and the
trap gun. The latter was evidently in
bad odor The drift of the conversa-
ton was decidedly against that W eapon,
and after a great deal of talk On the
subject the crowd resolved that they
would not give their support to aay
candidate for office, and especially for
the Legislature, unless he was willing
to commit himself to pledge to have
q bill passed as soon as possible MAX
ing it criminal offense TO set trap
gun in corn cribs, chicken coops,
smoke houses, stores, ETC."

this Convention that our able candi-
date for Congress, Hon. A. II. Wad-
dell, has fully and thoroughly satisfied
the minds OF our people upon his ac-
ton III Congress; and has placed the
white | eople Of this District under
lasting obligations to him for his bold
and emphatic opposition, both in
Congress and upon tho stump, to the
infamous civil rights and social equal

After the organization of the Club
our esteemed townsman, S. Ii. Fish

SO much was being said about the
contents Of certain letters written By
Governor kemper, to Colonel Mosby,
that it was deemed best to publish
them. In doing so, Governor Kemper
takes advantage of the opportunity to
define his position afresh. He declares
substantially that all he ever intended
at any time to say, was that III case
the Conservatives Of Virginia were re-
duced to the necessity of choosing Es-
tween the success OF Hughes and his
negro hordes. and an alliance with
Grant. he thought sound policy die
tatcl that the Conservative party
should choose the alliance with Grant
as the lesser of the two evils; and even
then he was OF the opinion that what
ever action was taken should be taken
by the party as a party, and not by in
dividuals in their private capacity.

Dear Colonel Tho "Index" is
doing more and better than the COM
bined city press. If they don't haul off
from Federal politics they will deeply
hurt us. I am trying hard to get them
in the right track. It were better to
elect Grant the third and the
seventh term than go under Hughes
and his negroes. To US, the defeat OF
negro rule here is to have society and
decent existence, to save us from bar
barism and ruin. Surely General
Grant and all Northern gentlemen
know that our white men, including
over $4,000 ex-Confederate braves are
the real moral, intellectual and pollt-
ical bower Of the State, if not of the
whole South, are implicitly to be re-
lied upon, and are invaluable as
friends. It cannot be that he will
spurn proffer of reconciliation from
such men, for the sake of Hughes and
his hordes. Don't tire in your labors!
