PENSION AGENCY TO BE ESTABLISHED IN
R1cHMoND.-Under recent order from the
authorities at Washington the pension agent
for Virginia (Major Anable) will have bis
jurisdiction enlarged so as to take in the
States OF West Virginia, North Carolina,
and Tennessee. He has already been noti-
fed that he must give additional bond in
keeping with the responsibilities added to
the position. His Office will be at Rich
mond.
Some effort to effect the removal OF Major
Anable has been made. It is thought that
the President was reminded that Anable
was appointed by the influence OF the Conk-
ling element; and as the majestic Conklins
has never yet condescended to decidedly
approve the Presidents policy it was hoped
that the President would be disposed to
return the compliment by displacing. this
favorite OF the Conkling faction. Major
Anable was brought into prominence in
connection with this Office solely because ne
had been q Conkling man. The fight for
him was made as Conkling man, and as
Conkling man he won.
However, it would seem that by being
notified by the Department that he must
furnish additional bond, it is implied that
Major Anable shall continue to serve bis
country at increased pay corresponding
with the enlarged duties OF the position.
