the officer On this beat was the only one un-
informed about the affair, aud he talked to
him Tor some time, when the man got IN
the buggy and drove toward The North
End Shortly afterwards the officer was 10
formed of the matter, aud he Immediately

The confirmation BY the Senate of the
PRESIDENT recommendation Of Hon. Joseph
s. Miller to be Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, waSreceived with the hveliest sat
isfsction By all classes Of our citizens, yes
terday. Go where you would, among Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike, one heard
nothing but rejoicing over the event, and
every one spoken to on the subject had a
word of commendation both for the Execu-
tive and the ex-Auditor. And this feeling
of satisfaction arose from no other motive
than one of friendship and admiration for
him who had been thus called to fill q high
and responsible position under the general
government. Mr.. Miller, althoughs young
man, is eminently qualified for the Office be,
slowed upon him; his public experience has
been varied, his public duties always credit
ably performed, and he will, without doubt,
administer the affairs given in his charge
with honor to himself and to his State.
The Office Of Commissioners of Internal
Revenue is one of the best within the gift Of
q President the patronage to be dispensed
being very large. Chief among the Offices,
to be filed By the Commissioner are twenty
revenue agents at a salary o fS2,500 and
expenses each. These agents comprise the
personal staff Of the Commissioner, and are
charged with the supervision ofthe entire
revenue collections of the country. Next in
Importance comes the large force OF clerks,
some two hundred in number, employed in
the Revenue Bureau. These clerkships run
from 81, 200 up. In addition to these, the
Commissioner recommends to the Secretary
of the Treasury for appointment all the
storekeepers and guagers in the United
States, many hundred in number, which po-
sitions pay about 81, 200 per annum each
1t will thus be seen that the office which
has fallen to Mr.. Miller is one of great i'm
~portsnce-the best, in fact, ever held By o
West ~Vlrginian-and the friends of the
appointee refer 10 the fact with the liveliest
satisfaction. Mr.. Miller, although but
thirty,seven years of age, has achieved a
large measure Of success in public life.
Educated at the Ashland, Ky, law school,
his first position in public life was to FIJI the
clerkship of the Circuit Court in Csbell
county, in 1869, which office he retained
until 1873. In the fall Of 1872 he was
further elected clerk of the County Court
and succeeded to the duties the following
year. That Office he continued to hold until
1875, also being q councilman for the town
of BarboursTille, from 1873 to 1874. In
1872 he vas elected clerk of the State Sen
ate, serving down to 1876. when he was
nominated for and elected State Auditor.
being re elected in 1880 for the term which
SO lately expired.

A Miserable Failure in This Vicinity.
The partial eclipse of the sun, extensively
advertised by almanac makers as sure to
come Of yesterday, was a very snide affair,
and if pcor Artemus Ward had undertook to
rxliLit it in his open'iop tent the audience
would have arisen unanimously and de-
manded lack their money. The phenome-
non vas to have gotten under way shortly

to take II e astronomer word for il. The sky
vas ,hickly overcast with clouds, when noon
came, and despite a careful observation
made BY an In~telligencer reporter through a
heer glass, the face of old Sol could not be
seen. About an hour later, however, a
feeting glimpse Of the sun was obtained, its
disc being then about two ffths obscured.
The eclipse ended about three o'clock.

a telegram from the absentee, who was down

not possibly reach the city before Ioon, and
requesting q ~postponement of the election
until 2 o'clock.
To this the Board agreed, it being desira.

Ter; Picket, for Maloney; Prince, for James
Creighton; Stein, for Meyers; Stoker, for

Then the balloaug began in earnest. On

of fifteen minutes was taken. On the TWEEN.
ty-ffih and tweuty-sixth ballots but eight
votes were cast, two of the members being
temporarily absent
On the twenty-eighth ballot Mr.. Rsdford
