ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER II.

ACCORDING to the annual report of the
First Assistant Postmaster General, just
made public, the whole number OF removals
and suspensions of postmasters during tae
year was eight hundred and ten, which is
considerably less than the number OF sucn
changes made during the last year OF Presi-
dent Arthur's term. And yet the repuoii-
cans, before the recent elections, were how
ling at what they termed the wholesale re-
moyal of postmasters. Why, before eA
postmaster Mckenzie, Of this city, Topped
he said be was informed at the Postoihce
Department that more postmasters were
removed in Virginia during one year unuei
the Arthur-Mahone bargain than IN all inc
twenty preceding years.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence Of tho Alexandria GaBotte
WASHINGTON, D G., Nov. IL. 1885


WASHINGTON. D. G., Nov. II, 1886.
r. B. Bagby, a colored second-class clerk
in the Office of the Register of the Treasury
was removed from that Office yesterday
He halls from Ohio, but came originally
from Virginia, in which State it is supposed
he was during the four or five days he was alb
sent from his office Immediately preceding
the recent election in that State. He is q
most offensive partisan, as are many others
of his race who still continue to hold lucra-
tive places in the Treasury Department.
The general impression respecting the sill.
yer question among the Congressman now in
the city, is that something will be done at
the coming session toward the restriction or
the suspension of the coinage of the silver
dollar. It is understood that the President,
in his message to Congress, will make out
so good a case in favor of such action that
his party will be induced thereby to think
that that they can not afford to 60 against
him.
The belief among the democrats in the
departments here is that the extraordinary
delay in the removal of republicans from
Office is partially at least due to the course
pursued by the vast majority of the demo-
cratic Congressman who in their interviews
with the President aud newspaper reporters
represent the former rs filling the idea
of a democratic President, and that the pol
icy he is pursuing respecting removals and
appointments is the acme of political wis
dom and partisan policy, and many of whom
have gone so far as to recommend the re-
tention of republican oficeholders who have
been the most offensive sort of offensive
partisans.
Because Bruce, the colored barber, filed
the Office of Register of the Treasury, the
popular idea is that General Rosecrans, who
succeeded him, was given the position as
sinecure, which any body could fill, and
that the General is only competent for such
a place. No more egregious mistake was
ever made, for the General is a proficient
mathematician and engineer, and it didn't

THE PRoTECTIoNIsTs must be reduced 10
straits for props with which to support the
policy by which q few rich people in this
country are allowed to pillage all the others,
when they assert, as they do, that the free
trade system of Great Britain is compelling
Euglishmen to fly to this country, where
they can make living. Englishmen have
been flying to this country to make living
ever since it was first discovered, and have
done so utterly irrespective of the revenue
system of either country, and, according to
statistics, their flight has been greater when
a high tariff prevailed in England and
low one here than when those conditions
were reversed.

ST.. LOUIS, March 2.-Circuit ATTORNEY
Clover this morning presented to the
circuit court hore an application for in.
junction to restrain Jay Gould and
other directors from voting at the an
nual election for officers of the Iron
Mountain road on the 10th inst, the
$22,OOO,OO0 OF stock of that road which he
holds as trustee. 1t is alleged that
Gould and other officials of the Missouri
Pacihc obtained the stock as tho result
OF conspiracy which they formed to
give their road control over tho Iron
Moantain; that in pursuance of that
conspiracy they increased the stock of
the Missouri Pacific $30,000,000, and
used this increase to buy up the stock of
tho Iron Mountain, which was much
less valuable, paying three shares of
Missouri Pacific for four OF Iron
Mountain; that one of the conditions OF
the purchase was that Gould was to
hold all of the purchased stock as tru5-
tee, although Tor whom he acts as trus-
tee has always remained q secret; and
iinally, thai inasmuch az no clearly rep
resents the Missouri Pacific, he has no
