Postmaster General Villas not long
since issued a circular announcing to
clerks in the railway mail service that
there would be no removals except for
ineficiency or other cause than political
considerations. This was made necessary
in order to stop the designations which
we're being handed in by clerks, in an
ticipaton of their removal, to such an
extent as to impair the good of the SER
vice. An examination Of the clerks has
recently been had, testing their quail
fcations, and the announcement was
made shat all found to meet the standard
required, would be retained. But the
Postmaster General was evidently joking.
Some Of the oldest and best men i'll the
service have been dropped within week,
and it is expected that more remoyals
will follow at once One of the first of
the new appointments made was that of
bar tender in Milwaukee, named
Mueller, and having had no experience
in postal matters, his capacity for mixing
up mail matter will be equal probably to
his ability for mixing drinks.

BRAGG-DELANEFs BARGAIN.

It is stated to be true aud by good
authority, notwithstanding our inferred
denial last week, that at the Democratic
Congressional Convention held here last
fall, and few days before Bragg was
nominated, written agreement was
made between Bragg and Delaney, and
signed BY most of the Fond du Lac
delegates as we'll as Bragg, so we are
Informed, wherein Gen. Bragg pledged
himself not to be candidate again, and
allowing Dodge County, IN the event OF
Cleveland's election TO control its own
offices without his interference, with the
exception of the. Watertown post office,
which he reserved for G. III. Gardner, and
perhaps few others. BY this means,
the Dodge county delegates were restrain
ed from going to Sawyer or Sumner, and
Bragg's nomination followed in course of
time. But if Gen. Bragg cannot fulfill
the contract so far as Gardner is concern
ed, what then of the balance?-Bearer

The Chicago Inter Oceans Washington
correspondent, May I'd, submits the
following on the Watertown Post Office
imbroglio which closes little more fiery
than anything transmitted before on this
interesting subject:
The President to-day appointed Henry
S. Howell Postmaster at WATERFOWL,
Wis The appointments made bv Col.
Villas and he accepts the responsibility
for it. General Rragg's candidate was
Major Gardner, an ex-Confederate, who
settled in Wisconsin after the war and ia
a very popular citizen. He was endorsed
by the banks and businessmen generally
The argument against Gardner was that
his appointment would subject the
administration to criticism for going out
of its way to give an Office to an ex-rebel
This was answered by petition from
the Grand Army Posts, eighty strong,
with General Bragg's endorsement on it.
Last night Colonel Villas spent the evens
ing with the President, and it was decided
to refuse to appoint Gardner. It is
understood that General Bragg had an
interview with Villas Wednesday, and he
tlld him that Gardner's appointment
could be charged up to him. He thought
his army record could stand Some strong
language passed between the two and
Bragg called Villas coward and predict
ed his utter failure in the Cabinet. Yes
terday Bragg withdrew GardDer's appli-
cation and endorsements, and left the
administration free to choose its own
course in the matter General Bragg
says he has nothing just yet to say about
the situation. "The pots bilin'," he
says, sand am going to see what will
bile up" Colonel Villas will appoint
thirty or forty fourth class postnasters in
Wisconsin next week.

THE Buffalo Courier, Cleveland's home
organ, reads the Mugwumps lecture for
kicking over the appoin tments of Higgins,
Pillsbury and others. 1t thinks it tine
to throw off the mask, and cut loose from
their tutelage:
We regret to see that our esteemed
Independent contemporaries have lost
temper over certain recent Federal ap-
pointnents in New England. They
should not be so skittish; as we remarked
on former occasion, it is now time for
them to stand without hitcbing, like the
rest of US. Really, if the Independents
feel so bad at seeing an old-fashioned
Democrat appointed to Office, they should
have voted for Blaine.
