THE OFFENSIVE PARTISANS.
Changes Made and in Contemplation Among
the Employees at the PostOffce.

There was a dread feeling of something's 60
ing-to-happen pervading the postoffice yesterday,
and there was much whispering among the en-
ployes, and great desire to learn if any one knew
of anything new. 1t is feeling not to be de-
sired-some such feeling doubtless as was expe-
rienced by the American sailor who was about
by invitation, to participate in feast among
cannibals, and whose ideas were not exactly clear
as to whether he was to eat or be eaten; some
such feeling as was experienced by the guests of
the Borgias, or the visitors to the Old Man of
the Mountain, the prince of the assassns.
Among the carriers nearly all have been led to
believe that they would be continued. This has
luled them into security, and several of them
have let slip situations that they might other
| wise have secured. During the past three days
this tranquility has been disturbed, as they have
| felt there was spy system around and about
them and stealthy, assassin-like footsteps close
| at their heels. What the carriers complain of
| is this unfair and underhanded way of treating
them. They think it would be no more than
fair that they be given at least two weeks notice
and not be discharged without moments warn
ing, though they may have served faithfully for
a dozen years or more.
1t is understood that several employees were
olscharged late yesterday afternoon, and more
are to be discharged in a few days Three let
ter carriers were dropped yesterday, Capt John

others have little children dependent upon them.
One of these women is niece of the late Gen

partisan on that account, and they are
thrown out to give place to three small men.

That the administration, in seeking men on whom
to confer the offices, should seem to show pref
erence for Southerners, particularly ex-Confed-
crates, has given rise to some comment in mill
tary circles. 1t is true the President refused to
commission the brother of Senator Blackburn
when he heard of the murderouS sentiments
that person had given utterance to, but it is,
nevertheless, true that the administration has
conspicuously ignored the Union soldier. 1t
might be expected that the Southerner would
figure prominently in the distribution of the
spells of victory, for the bulk of the Democratic
party is to be found in the South; but all over
the North there are many brave men, now DEM
ocrats, who fought in the Union army, and not
one who was conspicuous in that army has re-
ceived an office. On the other hand, many who
were we'll known generals in the Confederate
army have been honored. One has just been
appointed Fourth Auditor of the Treasury.
Some ofice-seekers, now here, boast of their part
in the effort to destroy the Union as though it
were their sole stock in trade
A year or so before the civil-service law took
effect some Southern senator's and representa-
tives had a man who had formerly held high
rank in the confederate army appointed as a
not Republican, but was appointed. like many
other Democrats who obtained clerkships, to
please some Democratic statesman who would
ask it as personal favor. This clerk was for
merly captain of artillery in the United States
army, and when he went to the department to
report for duty he found the old orderly sergeant
of his company in charge as chief of the bureau.
This was too much for his aristocratic blood. He
went to the appointing officer in the department,
told how he had me. his old orderly sergeant in
charge of the bureau to which he had been as
signed, and asked that another assignment be
given him so as to save him the humiliation of
reporting to man who had formerly been sim
ply an enlisted man in the company in which he
himself had been the commanding officer. An
other assignment was given him. This same
aristocratic ex-confederate has Just been pro-
noted from a thirdclass clerk to frst-class
clerkship, jumping over the heads of second
class clerks.

Frederick T. Nash. You offered reward of
five hundred dollars for me, and l
guess you are the proper person for
me to surrender to-" He was then handed over to
the chief of police, who conducted him to CELL
where he had consultation with counsel.
Stanton and Nash who belonged at Mystic
Bridge, Conn, were companions, and were
travelling together about the country. On the
night of Oct. 16 last it is alleged that they had
quarrel near Germantown Junction. during
which Stanton drew pistol and shot Nash
Stanton states that shortly after the shooting he
sailed for South America, and then went to
Cuba. He declined to say anything about the
shooting Stanton was subsequently brought
into court and pleaded not guilty. A true bill has
already been found charging him with murder.
An. application made by his counsel for a
writ of habeas corpus, returnable on Saturday,
for the purpose Of raising the question of bail,
was refused, and the judge said the matter must
go upon the regular list for next week.
When Stanton left the city he was very boy

full beard and wore pair of goggles small
leather satchel hung at his back, suspended by a
strap his shoulder, in tourist style. In the
conversation between himself and the mayor
he was very curt, Stanton saying that as he had

surrendering, he hoped the mayor would see
that he was treated fairly.

He added that upon leaving Philadelphia he
went direct to New York, where he took passage
for South America. He remained there only q
short time soon returning to Cuba, where he
has been for several months.
