LI,rom OnrlRerular Correspondentl


John ;. Clarkson. Of Iowa, 70 be First As.
sisiant Postmaster General. The Iowa poli-
ticiaus in town sre greatly reioiced. II will
he remembered that an Iowa editor once held
the sane pCsitiou-FrAnk Hstton. who was
then one Of the principal owners In she Bur
lington iiawkcyc, and il row the editor 81 the
Washington Posi. Halton afterwards got TO
be PoStm~ier.Ocperal. Garrison did not
want 10 play second eddie TO Wans-
maker. bui the pressure was too great
and nc had to succumO to party de-
msu0s. He Is most ssiute politician,
aud l. one Of the rank, rabld Republic
cans Boss QuaJ was exceedingly anxious
10 have the Iowa man take the place and re-
commended him 10 both Wanamsker aud
Harrison. GARRISON has n splendid piece OF
newspaper property IN Dcs MOines, and has
been q very prominent man not Only IN wa
Sisfe politics but Ia a national sense. Be-
va Qlsy's right bower In the fight Of last
year. aud has for long time represented
Iowa on The National Committee. Like liar-
rison, Blaine. and the balance Of The head
men In the party. Allison f. not known TO
hsye any great amount Of respect for Ma
hone OF Virginia.
MALONE MAD.
Rv the wav, "a Is learned on excellent all
thotttv thai Nahone u A. mad as q hornet.
only sse be has been accorded since General
Harrison was insugursted lasted less than
fv, minutes. The cleanest feature abOu
an. Administration Il the strong disposition
90 ignore Malone slmosi entirely. Up 10
the present time IL certainly looks IS II Ma.
hone will have 10 remain out in the cold
where there s woepine and wailing and
rnsshing ~ teeth. lie may not he much OF
> wccpsr, but he is a waller and gnasher
from way back.
BOWDEN.
II wss exceedingly nice IN Congressman
Dowden, OF Norfolk, 10 accompany he *
Boss "a the White House. hat the Congress
man well knows that he himself l. going IN
have the Geld on The Offices and not Malone.
The snubs which Mshoue has received hsy",
nall accounts Gre true, greatly upset the cal
cuiatlOns ot bis followers, VITO met here
several weeks AGO and eHdeayored 10 nix MP
q slais. 1hst slate WAS sent the Dispatch
~ the time. and whilst some OF the
hsprants will doubtless succeed most
al them will faii unless they ret other
influence than Mahones. II IL thought that
either James Frazier, Of Rockbridge. or
Brown Allen, Of Augusta, will eventually
succeed Captain Jam. shepard a. collector
OF internal revenue. II Is understood that
ex.COngressmaD Gaines. OF Petersburg, will
hsyc the endorsement OF both Browne aud
Bowden for the other liz cOnectorship OF
internal revenue, aud Il 80 he Will be apt 70
rake in The plum.
WAXING.
Sampson T.. Bayley, Of FauQuler county,
IS around trying TO ind out bat * going 10
drop. and H. s said thst he would like 10
hsye good position in one Of Inc depart
nsnis. bat last what he has not fully made
lp bis mnd. Tie claims 10 have been one OF
tho ORIGINAL Virginia Republicans, and bis
claim is correct one, for he used to go
through the farce Of running for Congress in
tho Eighth district long before the Malone
crowd cot into prominence.
No~BY.
colonel John s. Bospy doesn't seem 10 be
reaching out for anything. tie is stili here.
ani almost daily can be seen walking utr-
vau~'y about the Rigss-llouss lobby. lie X
much worried about hls fees as Consul at
Hong hong. and 10 looks ~ II he viii not
Iret bis hands on the $4,000 claimed To Dee
iduc him In many years. Colonel M0sby
hasn't ben SO lucky as General Adam Ba-
dfsu. who got an he claimed m the shape %
Zee. while Consul-Genersl at London. colo.
mel Mosby, IL is said, expects to return 10
thc Pacific slope before long. where ne has
professional interests That pay him vel.
REPRESENTATIVE LEE.
Representative Lee, Of Virginia, one Of
the MANY public men who has been sirk
with pneumonia. continues 10 improve, and
j.. now regarded IS oUt Of all danger from
The attack. lie viii soon be out II the plea
SAINT weather continues.
NEGRO APPLICANTS.
The negro applicants for office who have
ewooped down onWashington have decided
advantage over the white ones. as the former
can live very chespiv and are NOT troubled
with hotel bills for the sake of creating a.
V0rah.e Impression. General Harrison Is
moving too slowly O. suit the fellows whO'c
expenses are piing up. The fact Of The
matter f. the removals VIII not COM
meBcc 60 be made in earnest until
the Cabinet officers are more settled
Iu thair own positions There seems 10 be
no doubt that General Harrison II going to
allow Ls Cabinet officers full swing in the
matter II appointments, though here and
there he viii take a hand. Ia regard to
dl.inc the frst-class foreign missions ne VIII
lgVe good deal T. say, and not until he ana
Brine can ptteh up peace will the mis-
sipns 20 Berlin, London, Paris, and 81.
Petersburg be flied. Blaine wants to
reward rather too many 80 his own editorial
hackers 10 suit the President, aud it may
turn ont best after all that Whilelaw Reid
and ThorBdikc Rice wili get len. Should
Ua.sfead set a mission IL would be on ac.
count Of bis pull with the President and not
with the secretary Of State, for the OHIO
editor has said great many mean things
about Blaine in bis paper.
BOSS QUAY.
Boss QUAY wants one Of bis Pennsylvania
friends appointed SolcItoT-Gemerai, aud
tns looks uuiAyorable for both John Wise
and. " Breakfast ~ Blair, each OF whom Is
an asurant for the lat place once held by
john Goode, Of NirginiN. The squabblc be-
tween the friends Of WISE and Blair Will
give Harrison a good excuse 10 appoint
Qusy's man.
SOLID.
The Republicans are forming numerous
State associations and arr going M TO grab
ull the 0licts possible. The Democratic as
kot auous which were formed here have all
gone 20 pieces with the exception OF The
MARYLAND ana Virginia. These associations
aye sohd aud lasting, beng composed
chiefly Of business and professional men in
tht District who have Interests iu each state.
Democrat saws that the other day down
af The post-O0.ce Department be heard
grnup Of Republicans gong over The hst 90
l..f-ofiices 10 the state Of Michigan ot tbr
residential class, and that some Of the
charges they were trumpiDg NJ against The
f1cumbents were amusing. iie'sa rebel,
they would LAY every nov aud 'heo, mcan-
ins that because certain Michgsnders were
Democrats and had not been IN the Union
army they were "re0el'."
