Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia T"i,:-

The Lancaster pOstmastership seems to
cause considerable agitation in political cir
cles here. Mr.. Marshall, the old postmas-
ter, was reappointed and his nomination
sent to the Senate. 1t appears, however,
that Senator Cameron and other friends of
the lady desire the nomination of the widow
O. J. Dickcy, old Thad. Stevens's successor
in Congress. In view Of this fact. Mar
shall's name has been hung up in commit
tee. Administration circles in turn reply
that it may be possible to prevent action
on Mr.. Marshall's nomination by the Sem
ate, or in fact reject him, but in the latter
contingency it would not likely follow that
Mrs. Dickcy would be appointed.

The THIRD TETM SYNDICATE
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says The deter
mination of the Illinois republican
committee to put off the meeting Of
the State convention until the 18th
of May is felt here to be very
damaging blow to the third-term
movement. The plan of the third
term syndicate, formed while the
ex-Presldent was in Philadelphia
and promulgated early in January,
was that Pennsylvania, New York,
Indiana and Illinois should hold
their conventions very early, and
select sole thlrd-term delegations
for the national convention, with a
view to influencing other States.
The third-term movement has, there
fore, entirely broken down in two
of the States, which, according to
the original programme, were to be
captured early-namely, Indiana
and Illinois, the former having
elected strong Blaine delegation
and it has carried two conventions
by patronage and machine manipn-
Iation by majorities of22 on a vote
of 246 in one case and 81 on a
vote OF 397 in the other, these mar
row successes causing in each case
immediate and open discomfort and
division in the party. That is the
net result of the third-term cam
