About North Carolina.


We take the following extract
from Washington, correspondent
Of the Charlotte Obsesoe,'
A change of administration now
would probably be worse for the
Radical Office holders in North
Carolina, than Garfield, although
it seems that on Thursday last he
and Blame fixed up the North
Carolina State as well as that of
other States. My Informant says a
radical change was agreed on in
your State. E B White, Collector,
was to be removed and a colored
man put in his. place. The post
Offices at Newbern and Winnings
ton and the custom house at Will
mington were to be given to col
ored men, Ike Young to be re
moved and a white man put IN his
place. Hill to be removed and
George w Stanton to be appointed
in his place. Albertson to remain,
Douglas to be removed and Dock
cry to have his place. Mott to be
removed and Col Meyers to have
have his place. The district at
torneys are not to be disturbed.
The federal patronage in the State
is to be organized by Blaine, and
Of course he will have his friends
in his place. He will find out who
they are.
Dr. Mott was here last week very
much disturbed about the attitude
Of the Department toward him on
the temperance question. He was
anxious to resign if he could get
Tom Cooper appointed in his
place. This he cannot do as the
administration determined that
Mott should 60 out and that no
friend Of his should get the place.
Mott is very objectionable to
Blaine, and Cooper made a Grant
record at Chicago which kills him
with this administration. J W
Bowman, Of Mitchell, is now talked
of Tor Motifs place. He is said to
be an applicant for it. The other
names are Judge Furches, 81 G
Cowles, David A. Jenkins, T J
B ula, Judge Henry and Col. V S
Lusk.
Maj. Y Yeates has taken up his
residence here, and will practice
law. He tells me that he regards
the Republican party as entirely
broken up in North Carolina, and
nothing can save it, which is good
news, and is just my opinion OF the
situation.
Col. Boyd is here, looking after
his business with the department
of justices. He says he is a good
anti-prohibitionist at home, but
here he sings low on that tune as
this is a crusade country.
The first OF July brought many
dismissals from the departments
The cases Of hardshiships are nu-
merous. Men with families de-
pending on their support are drop
ped from the rolls and sent adrifi
on the world without a dollar.
Years spent in department unfits
man for any business, and gets
him entirely outside of any bust
ness connections or influences
There should be hung over each
department notice to clerks stha
he who enters here Ieaves hope
behind It is very remarkable
fact that when the time for weed
ing out comes, that the young anc
handsome lady clerks who have
Congressional friends to back then
are not disturbed. North Caroline
has its share OF pretty womer
scattered around IN the depart
ments backed by members of Con
gress. | do not mean that they
are all North Carolina ladies few
of them are. / was told by al
appointment clerk the other day
that the new Radical North Caro-.
lima Hubbs of Newbern does no
seem to drop into the old line o
pressing ladies Tor places /; but use
all his eloquence and to get in ne
groes. He has row on his hand
now with his constituents. Th
first man he had appointed wa
Osborn Hunter Of Raleigh. 81
got him a place in the Interior De
partment last April. In the sam
department are Claude Smith,
son of William A. Smith, and Viii
mot Leach, a son of the Genera
They were both appointed as Re
Ipublicans. Twas surprised to lear
that Judge Settle vouched 70
