Alabama was speaking when Foote
approached and denounced him as a

knife in hand, lunged at Foote. and
might have killed him had not several
persons rushed to the rescue. 1t was
then that Foote raised himself to his

dramatic attitude, exclaimed in stem

Cincinnati COmmercial.l
Hon. Horace Maynard, minister to
Turkey, has been rendered, and has
accepted the postmaster generalship.
General Longstreet is to be appointed
minister to Turkey. Mr.. Maynard
served in congress from 1857 to 1874.
He was born in Massachusetts, and is
a graduate of Amherst college. When
a very young man, he emigrated to
East Tennessee, and for four years
was professor Of mathematics in the
university Of Tennessee, at Knoxville.
He was, during this time, law stu
dent, and began his law practice by
walking the circuit.
His first political experience was on
the Scott electoral ticket in 1855. In
his first race for congress he was
beaten. He has been six years, with
the exception of visit some months
ago, in Constantinople, the represen-
tative of the United States. His age
is about sixty years, and his talents Of
a high order. His place of residence
is Knoxville, where he is a ruling elder
in the Presbyterian church. One of
his sons was colonel of sixth Tennes-
see infantry (national) during the war.
and died at Turks Island, where he
was United States consul. Another
son is in the navy, and still another
has been with him in Coustantinople.
Mrs. Maynard is In Washington city.
The ability of Mr.. Maynard is well
known. The probability is that his
administration of the department to
which he has been called will be a
striking episode.
Washington special to the Cincin-
cinnati Commercial: The president
was inclined from the first to offer the
postmaster generals place, made va
cant by the retirement of Judge Key,
to a southern man. Several names
were canvassed, and the presiden.
finally determined to offer the posi-
tion to Horace Maynard, of Tennes-
see, now minister to Turkey. 1t was
known that Mr.. Maynard desired to
return to America. Accordingly,
last Friday the following dispatch was
sent to Mr.. Maynard:
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Hon. Hor.
ace Maynard, Constantinople, Turkey;
The president requests me to ask il
you would accept the position Of
postmaster general, shortly 70 become
vacant by the retirement of Judge
Key. w. M. EvARTs.
70 this the following reply was re
ceiyed:
| CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 10th. Hon
w. NJ. Eysrts, secretary of state
await the pleasure of the president
HORACE MAYNARD.
| Which meant that he would at.
tempt tomorrow, or at least within 8
few day. 1t is understood his name
will be sent in for confirmation with
that Of Judge Key to be a district
judge in Tennessee.
1t is expected that Mr.. Maynard
will sail at once for America, and
reach here in June, and that he viii
enter upon the discharge of his du.
ties as postmaster general about the
lst of July, which is the beginning Of
the fiscal year. Until that time Judge
Key will remain, but he will have tC
leave in time to hold the July term
of the circuit court at Knoxville. Ii
is thought that the confirmation Of
these nominations by the senate will
be nearly if not quito unarimOus.

The Georgia Legislature, which
meets next November, will elect a
successor to Senator Joseph Z. Brown.
1t is not likely that he will be his own
successor, and it is even less likely
that Gov. Colquit will be elected. II
we are not mistaken in the temper Of
the Georgia people, both these gentle
men will be shelved. Brown is bold,
crafty man, who is very unpopular
with the people. His course during
the war, and afterward in political
matters, was generally condemned by
the southern people. Gov. Colquit
doubtless had an eye on Gordon'S seat
himself when he appointed Brown.
The appointment of weak man who
cannot be elected has been tried be-
fore and it generally proves to be a
mistake.
