The p,sue radicals Of the North arc howl

of the society Of the South: The most hor

THE BALTIMORE POST OFFICE.
The long, heated and hotly contested Kill
kenny cat fight over the Baltimore post
Office has reached its finale. The agony 10
over. The fiat has gone forth In the ap-
pointment by the administration of one
Erastus B. Tyler Of that city, to the po~
sition, and quiet reigns supreme over the
monumental city once more.
cARPEr-sAaaER w1TMoRE.
This ex-Congressional carpet-bagger's
sudden flight from South Carolins, 1t is res
ported here, was owing to the recent devel-
opments in the legislature, very seriously
complicating him with large steal, and he
has returned to his native State, Msssachu-
sets, where 1t is hoped his own people will
visit upon him the punishment he % richly
deserves. .i,,,,. ....
DISTINCTION ON ACCOUNT OF RACE.
Mr.. Hayes is about to appoint one Alfred
G. Anderson (colored) to the position of
Minister to Hayu, as he comes endorsed by
the prominent colored men of the country,
but the right of black man to represent
q white mans government abroad, even at
Hayti, is what puzzles the ruling classes Of
this country, and bis preference for the
black Is certainly in violation of the 18th
com msndment. .t...
THE VACANT JUDGEsHIP.
It is somewhat reliably rumored here,
that Attorney General DeveDs, will be ap~
pointed to the vacancy on the Supreme
bench, in consideration Of his urgent regrets
for leaving tho bench of bis native State
for Cabinet position. His regrets are
very outspoken, and he would gladly return
to the more congenial shades Of his former
occupation. ~
MEMORIAL DAY, 1877.
The yearly custom of decorating the
graves of the soldiers and sailors, was OBJ
served with even more than the usual zeal.
The Grand Army Of the Republic have been
busy, assisted by committee Of ladies, for
week past, gathering flowers and ever
greens with which to bedeck the grassy
mounds, and the success which attended
their efforts was made manifest in the pro.
fusion of floral tributes placed on the graves
In the various cemeteries and on the many
monuments throughout the city. The day
was most auspicious for the beautiful com.
memorative service. The sun shown res
plendent and the warm rays were pleasantly
tempered by most refreshing breeze. Bus~
mess generally was suspended, and the two
District cities wore holiday look. As early
as nine O'Clock and from that hour until
after mid day the avenues were lined with
Carriages and pedestrians, Ind the usually
juliet streets of Georgetown were alive with
'eople vending their way to the Grand City
II the dead, Arlington. Each. receiving |
season adds to the lovellness of this attrac.
i've place. Nature keeps pace with art and
he lofty oaks on the hill-side seems ami"
mated as the foliage undulates in the soft
'reeze of spring morn, while the air frag-
ant with opening blossoms enliven the scene
With myriads Of fssthered songsters. The
principal ceremonies were at the central
tand where at about 10 O'Clock the Presi-
lential party arrived and were received by
he executive committee, and at 1880 O'Clock
he grand procession, consisting of the de-
Grating committee, ex-soldiers and sailors,
me the orphan children, formed in front Of
he Arlington Mansion, headed by the Marine
Sand. They then marched to the tomb of
