WASHINGTON, March Ill know that
the efforts OF friends OF the Administration
TO induce Senator Edmunds to accept the
vacant position on the Supreme bench have
not ceased, and that there are those who
believe he will finally accept. There are
some among his friends, however. who TO
not hesitate TO say thai his superiority to
the Chief Justice should cause him TO adj
here 10 his declnation Of position under
him. II is clear that good many Stalwarts
are pleased at tie course pursued by Mr..
Conkling in regard TO this iudgeship. Their
idea is that while he has the ability beyond
\ question for the discharge Of its duties,
that his manners would not at all suit the
place.
WHAT A sTALwART REPUBLICAN SAYS ABOUT
VIRGINIA MATTERS.
had to-day frank talk with Stalwart
Republican Of position, who Is alike
| friendly to President Arthur and General
Malone, and what | gathered from him
may be stated as follows: While perfectly
cordial relations now exist between the
Administration and General Malone, there
| is feeling among the Readjuster friends
OF the latter, Just beginning to make itself
manifest, that their leader is entitled
to more substantial personal recogni-
ton than has yet been accorded him.
They recall the fact that while General
Garfield during his brief term evidently
determined that General Malone should
not have the control OF the patronage in
Virginia 10 the extent OF removing Federal
officers who had faithfully discharged their
duty, he did and so did those around him
concede that much was due the junior Vir-
ginia Senator on his personal account for
his course during the extra session OF the
Senate. This, they claim, was to have re-
suited in the offer by the Garfield
administration OF some high official
position to some one OF the representa-
tive friends OF General Malone. Now,
say they, Mr.. Arthur has been Presi-
dent for months, and yet he has rendered
no place Of prominence to any man who
LETT "thc Bourbons" and battlcd for Read
iustment in Virginia. They distinctly make
this point: Say they, Surely he does not
think that the appointment Of Mathew p.
! n l.a,r qs
postmaster at Norfolk. or OF ID. 5.
Lewis. native Stalwart Republic
can, rs district attorney, or OF Colonel
w. +. Nye. northern Republican, as
United State, marshal, are to he charged TO
the personal account OF General Malone or
the Virginia Readjusters. Just here |
asked if young Statham's appointment rs
postmaster at Lynchburg was not OF dif-
fcreat character. d" Hardly" said he.
" because young statham had announced
himself national Republican before his
appointment, and General Malone, il was
understood ut Washington, rather favored
him because no old Republican Gould he
found there who filed the bill" ne then
went on to say that it looked as il the
President was labOring under the i'm
preston that the appointments named
were the personal appointments Of Gene
raj Malone, but hc wonld lind that
the Democratic ReddiusterS, or at least
those who left the Democratic party and
Joined the Virginia Coalition, will not LET
him rest under this wrong impression. In
a word, that they expect substantial rccog-
milton. and will be satisfied with nothing
short OF some high official appointments at
his hands. Your correspondent came to
the conclusion at the end Of this interview
; that Cabinet position OF Il lirst-class foreign
mission are not beyond their expectation.
THE GUARDIANSHIP OF TIE DEMOCRATIC Coz
GBESSIONAL COMMITTEE.

getic, and ambitious, and his friends say Is
