THE PETERSBURG (vA,) PosroFFIcE.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-An interest
ing discussion occurred In the executi ye
| session of the Senate this afternoon over
| the nomination of Mr.. Potts as post
master at Petersburg, Virginia. An at
tempt was made to draw party lines, but
failed. 1t was said that Mr.. Potts was a
democrat, that Petersburg was in the
only republican congressional district
left IN Virginia, and that it was no more
than fair that republicans should have
the patronage. Republican Senators
were asked to stand, together and reject
MT. Potts, and that then the President
be requested to send in the name of a
republican. One Senator asked the
democrats whether, If they were in pow
er, they would give offices to republicans
Ii was admitted by the Virginia Sena-
tors that Mr.. Potts was a dsmocrat, but
he was SAID to be acceptable to leading
republlcans in the district. Mr.. Potts
was finally confirmed by a small maior-
lty, as several republican Senators were
absent. 1t was said that two republicans
Senators Burnside and Concver, voted
Tor him. After the executive session
loud complaint was made by several OF
the republican Senators at the habtual
absence OF some of their associates,
whereby the democrats were almost al.
ways able to control.
The Senate judiciary committee agreed
to recommend favorably the nomination
OF G. p. Il msdell as United Statos mar
shal for the eastern district of Virginia,
ana it is understood that the report was
made in the executive session OF the Sen
ate this afternoon.
The nomination by the President of
VT. Hoyt, of Wisconsin for Governor of
w yoming, in place of ex- Senator rha v.
er, OF N Nebraska, is fresh source of com
plaint to The radical republicans of the
Senate. They declare that they will
have Mr. Hoyt rejected. but this is easier
said than done. The President consid-
ers that he has good cause for the remoy-
al of Mr.. Thayer. Mr.. Thayer has al
ways bsen known as one Of the most
bigoted and extreme Of partisans, while
at the same tune his name has not been
disassoc ated from jobs and rumors Of
jobs. He was one of Grants personal
appointments, and on high general prin-
ciples the President could scarcely err
IN substituting another person for him.

WEBER ooNTRADIoTs THE CHIEF

| W4HEh OVN hhU4V4 40 LII Ou111 4
A lengthy communication is pub
lished IN the New Orleans Democrat
of the lst inst., over the signature OF
E. L. Weher-apparently called forth
by an editorial In the CHIEF of July
2gEin which the writer asserts that
the etlitafial mentioned contained
'seveisll statements which the facts
will not ,substantiate or warrant"
These "seyeral statements may be
briefly enumerated as follows: t..
That Weber, while testifying before
the Potter sub committees, was sur
prised by the proddetian of his pri-
yate letter to hubert Morris, written
under date of Feb. 6, 1878; 2. That
tho assertion in that letter, 'tIknow
that this document [the Sherman let
teri was and is yet in existence" CO..
.ineiaes with the tenor of repeated
statements made by witness himself
to friends in nonaldsqHyille and fiat
ly contladicts his Own testimqny that
he destroyed the original Sherman
letter in July, 1877. s3afa1 %
To controvert these allesgtigHs
Weber cites evidence WHICH he gave
befafe the Potter committee in Y4sh-
ington; tending to show that about
the tins he wrote to Morris he was
engaged in o systematic attempt to
hoodwink eertain parties Morris
among them-into the belief that lie
knew of the whereabouts and Ind
control of the Sherman letter, "for
the purpose of having tlem dis

that she had it, or ever had had it,
and also for the purpose of preventing
any one belieEing that she would or

ton sqstains the position for Which
