removal TO New York "a wear ago, the
leader of the anti-Alahone faction in
Virginia. called to see the President
about the appointment of a postmaster
at Richmond. Va. First Assistant Post
master General Clarkson was present
at the interview
Mr.. Wise claimed that the appoint
mont of Mr. GrubDs to the Office was
agreed TO as part of the compromise
between the Malone and anti Malone
factions recently adopted. The Presi-
dent said he did not understand that
any agreement 10 appoint Mr.. Grubbs
had been made. and Mr.. Clarkson ex-
pressed the same view. Then Mr.. Wise
took from his pocket a letter which he
said Mr.. Clarkson had written and
which contained a promise that Grubbs
would be appointed. lie followed this
with some plain talk about the recent
compromise, in which be said that Gen
crGl Brady was seriously contemplating
ahe resignation of the cOllectOrship at
Petersburg, because the people of Nir-
gnia thought he had sold out the anti
Mahoneites for the Office. Subsequently
there was
ANOTHER STORMY AND PaOTRACrED IN
TERvIEw
at the POstOtlice Department between
Messrs. Clarkson and Wise, in which
the latter was taken 90 task for having
divulged the contents of letter which
was confidential
First Assistant Postmaster General
Ciarkson, says the Sun g correspondent.
upon being questioned concerning the
matter, acknowledged that there had
been stormy interview. in which Mr..
Wise. he said talked IN an unreasOna-
bile manner. 10 was represented 10 him
both by the President and Mr.. Clark
SON that il was their impression that ne
had been cOntendiDg for principle
when me agreed To the compromise re-
Gently. but it was now apparent that he
MERELY WANTED A POsrOFFcE
for friend. An objection raised by
those i'm authority against Mr.. Grubbs
for postmaster is that he is a clerk IN
the Dostoiiice at a salary of 5000 per
aunum and IS not IN any sense rep
resontatiye man. As tue matter stands
Mr. Grubbs Will not be appointed post
master at Richmond. and ii is not like
Is that Mr.. Wise will be further con
suited.
