Thief-Tobacco.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispa,ch.i


PETzRsRURG, Va, January 8, 1889.
The gist OF political rumors ahoat In Re-
publican circles here may be stated about as
follows:
That among the certainties OF President
Hardsou's Administration Is the appoint
ment OF General Malone 10 a Cabinet posi-
ion as representative si southern Repub-
licsnism.
Thst President Harrison Is as we'll In
formed about the political status OF those
who are opposing General Mahoue a. be is
or viii be made with that Of General Ma
hone himself.
That Judge R. ". Arnold, late Republi-
can candidate for Congress in this district,
will be appointed collector OF internal reve-
nue. and that every effort will be made 70
have the headquarters OF the Internal Reve~
nue. Department moved back TO Petersburg.
That General Stith Boiling, II he desires
the Office, will be the next postmaster OF this
city. The names Of several prominent Re-
pubhcans are mentioned for the postmasler-
ship, but those who apparently know report
the General as most probably the coming
man.
These rumors come from sources friendly
TO General Malone.
Petersburg has an aspirant for the posi-
ton OF Minister to Hayti in the person OF
Scott Wood, a colored lawyer, who during
the late congressional contest was one OF the
most earnest advocates OF Langston's cleo
ton.
The next gubernaforial election is already
exciting great deal Of interest here.
