Hon. John S. Barbour of Virginia re.
Gently called on President Cleveland. He
called to pay his respects only. He was
not after an Office for friend" Mr.. Bar
bour, however, as well as almost tho entire
Virginian Congressional delegation, favored
the appointment of person mot Mr. Glib
SOM for the District Attorneyship of the
Eastern (Richmond) District. After pleas
ant social chat Mr.. Cleveland is alleged to
have said
"NIr. Barbour, do you know Mr. Glib
SOM"
mot Personally said the member from
the Eighth District"
~ wish" said the President, "your dole
cation would indorse him for the District
AttoTneyship, He is the brother of the
Rev. Mr.. Gibson of Buffalo, who was my
friend during the campaign"
Mr.. Barbour was very much taken aback
at this suggestion of the President, for he
had man for the place himself. 1t is said
now that the Virginia members in defer
ence to the wishes of the President are all
for Gibson.

The Commissioner ana the Real
ESInae Agents.

The District Commissioners yesterday
notified all real estate agents who have not
paid their annual license to carry on their
business, that unless tho same is paid be-
fore the 25th instant prosecutions will be
instituted against them in the Police Court,
The District has had trouble for several
years in collecting tho license tax on this
class of business men.
The real estate men claim that tho tax
and other requirements imposed upon them
are oppressive. They do not object to the tax
Of$25, but they seriously object to giving
$1,000 bond and paying ono per cent semi
annually on their gross receipts. Last
year most of them were proceeded against
in the Police Court. and they employed
counsel aud had the case certloraried up
to the General Term for an opinion On the
law, holding that it was not good. The
case has not yet been tried. Some of them
subsequently, paid the tax. Less have paid
up this year than at the same period last
year. There are large number Of real
estate agents IN the city, and tho question
