WASHINGTON April ~. 1917.
The announcement, officially, that the troops
arc to be withdrawn IRON the State House 10

only Mingled with the regret that it should have
been delayed, and that Mr.. Hayes should there
by have omitted the opportunity Of makog
himself an rnvable nan ty doing at ouce what
all knew would have TO be douc in the end.
Major John D. Rogers CT King George
county, it is understood, is an applicant tor he
IHustinn of Collector OF lstcrnal Revenue, for
The Second Virginia district, but it seems doubt
full whether the present Incumbent will be re-
moved.
\ route agcut has already been appointed on
the narrow gauge railroad between tTcdercks'
burg aud Orange G. H., through the influence
of MIR. j 3. Sener, late radical representative
from tho lst district.
Appointments to Office are slow and many
who thought that they were certain OF naming

WAsnlNuToN. April @l.--W the deter.
minatiun to withdraw The troops tnGl the Loul-
siana imbrogIlo, President Hayes drops oyer
board the last plank By which u connection be-
tween the Administration and the ultra radical
school Of which Blaine and Morton are chiefs
has been maintained. The gulf WHICH divided
John Tyler from Henry Clay and the wings OF
1871 was peliher as wide TOR as deep as thai
which now sunders the Administration and the
ultra men, to whom he owes his election. Be
tween the former radicals and the democrats
| the President has elected to place his admins
tration. But he evidently has No Intention oil
organizing third party. lie has determined
more than ever to officer the South, SO lar ~
federal appointments arc concerned, mainly, !
not entirely, with pronounced republicans, aud
as he is certain OF the negro element, and Ger
tain of the moderate republicans, the radlca
element will have no where else to go, Ter III
democrats don't want them, and they must PEI
force muster in the rear Of the same force
where they formerly marched in the front
