WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26, 1889.
The appointment of three Mahoneites to
Presidential postoffices in Virginia yester.
day, Hansford Anderson at West Point,
Louis Deame at Ashland, and w. w. Lo.
gan at Woodstock, has made the "kickers''
here sicker than they were before, and the
few of hem who remain here looked this
morning "a those without hope. Elk Sena
tor Riddleberger tried to have the old re-
publican postmaster resppointed, and as
Woodstock is his home thought, as did his
friends, that his influence would at least be
sufficient to effect that purpose. but it was
not. The appointee Ia the chairman of the
Mahone committee there, and his appoint
ment was demanded by the General.
The recent large pulls" General Malone
has had at the federal patronage in his
State has bad the effect of bringing Mr..
John Wise here from New York to see II
wing of the party, which he manages from
New York, can get at least smell of feder.
al patronage. He and ex-Ccngressmsn
Brady, ex-Postmsster Pattie, of Warrenton,
and some more of the few "kickers" who
still remain here, were at the Ebbitt House
to-day.
The appointment of ex-Congressma
WIN. Walter Phelps. of New Jersey, and
present member of the Samoan commission,
to be q. S. Minister to Germany, the place
for which Mr.. Halstead was rejected, was
generally expected and seems to be salts,
factory to every body.
General Marcus J. Wright, an exConfed
crate. who has been engaged for nearly
eleven years in the War Department here
as agent for the collection of Confederate
military papers for publication in the "O&-
cial Records of the War of the Rebellion"
has written letter to Col. John S. Mosby,
in which ne says that 10 all the Confederate
official reports of battles and correspondence
he has been struck with the fact that Gen
eral Lee made more complimentary mention
of him, Mosby, than of any other officer
serving in his, Lees. command.
Ex.CoDgressman Brady Of Virginia says
the charges against the new postmaster at
Emporia, Greensville county. in his district
heretofore referred to In this correspondence,
were referred to him, that he has investiga.
ted them. and that they are altogether En-
zoneous. He says the new postmaster has
