1t was reported among the crowd OF Nr-
GINA republicans at the Postoffice Depart
ment today that Mr. Patti, formerly post
master at Warrenton, but now resident OF
Roanoke, would probably be appointed post
master at the latter place, as he had much
stronger backing than his only known rival,
Mr. Asbury.
Dr.. Murrell, of Lynchburg, Virginia, but
now resident in this city, says he thinks
there are about three hundred thousand Vir-
PIMA republican office seekers now here,
about ninety thousand OF whom are from
Lynchburg, and that Of the latter be thinks
only one will get an office, and that one
will be DR.. Walthall, who will be postmss-
ter. He says he thinks DR.. Walthall was an
old line whig and passed through the tad
pole state before he became full tiedged
republican.

thereof are anli-Mahoneites. They say That
/ had it not been for the vigorous opposition
OF Mr. Yardiey Brown, of The Loudoun 7ete
) phone, Malone man, endorsed by MIR. Ag'
l new, would have been appointed postmaster
at Hamilton, Virginia, instead Of Mr.. Wiley
| al anti Malone republican.

No body at the Postoilice Department this
morning seemed to know any thing about the III
mored proposed appointment of the widow o
General stoaewall Jackson to be postmaster a
Richmond, Virginia, except that she nor any Of
her southern or democratic friends had made ap
plication for any such appointment.
1t is said by some of the rel ublicans now here
from the 18th congressional district in Virgins
that since tho Postoi flee Department has been in

not a straightout republican candidate for Con
