The telegraph reports the nomina-
ton of Nathaniel Ball for postmaster
Of this city. The TINES congratu-
lates Mr.. Ball on his success. and has
no doubt he will make an efficient,
painstaking officer, and though he
was not our choice, and we did not
think he should be appointed, yet as
man and as Republican, he is
worthy of that or any other positson
for which he might be selected.
Friendship for the patriotic soldier,
who was his competitor, does MOI
blind us to Mr.. Balls merits, even
though we think another was better
entitled to the position which he has
secured.
