main federal Offices iu Virginia for some time,
at least, if rot for the entire term of Mr..

that that will be taken up at an early day.
There were no cases pcnding in tho General
PoSlofiico to-day relating to Offices 10 the Valley,
Underwater, or Piedmont regions of Virginia.
STATE DEPARTMENT.
The state Department to-day issued ustruc'

The President has removed &. Il. G. Pnkin
from the Office of Uoitci States marshal for
Louisiana and appointed Col. Jack Wharton,
formerly Of Maryland, in his stead. The de-
posed marshal was prominent instrument in
the accomplishment of the fraud by which the
vote of Louisiana was secured for MIR. Hayes,
aud his deposition will help to coodonc the
President for appointing others guilty Of the
same offence as that Of which Mr. Pi,kin stands
convicted to prominent and lucrative positions.
We trust that Mr. Pixies removal is an car
nest of the Presidents intention to cndeavor to
restore the respect that once attached to fedc-
raj Offices in the South by removing the officers
who have been the cause Of the loss Of that re-
spect, and by supplying their places not ooly
with respectable men, but with men whose in-
terests arc identified with those OF the COM
munities 10 which their Offices arc located.

The numerous Virginia applicants for the
position Of U. s. Consul at Bradford England.
made vacant by the resignation Of MIR. Douglas,
are grieved to learn that, contrary to all their
preconceived ideas upon the bjsct, the vacancy
has already been filled by the promotion to the
Office of Charles 0. Shepherd, who was Consul
at Leeds. AL hope Of Bradford having there
fore vanished their aspirations generally turn
10 Leeds, but, from what we hear, we fear their
fortune leads not that way.

them could attend the meeting at the Office Of
that Company to day, and many equally as in

be present. They were not troubled, however,
because they fully expected to read the pro-
ceedngs of that meeting in this evenings ia
zette, and their feeling will not be confined to
disappointment alone when they read that the
attempt to exclude reporters, which failed at
the late meeting Of the stock holders OF that
Company because majority of those present
were wise enough to oppose it. was made again
to day, and, though opposed by Mcssrs.
Strauss and Ncale, succeeded. Lights are not
hid under bushel and the greater the pub

of such securities, the worse for the reputation,

not take time to consider, of those who man
