The President has made the
anti-Mahone Virginia Republicans
happy by telling a delegation of
colored men that he did not con
template recognizing Ex-senator
Malone in the distribution Of
federal patronage in Virginia, and
tomorrow the committee appoint
ed by the recent gathering Of anti
Malone Republicans will have a
hearing before the President.
They will endeavor to convince
him that they are the proper
parties to control the patronage.
It is not at all likely that the
President will recognize either
faction Of the party in Virginia to
the extent Of giving them control
the federal appointments. So far,
the few men appointed to Office in
Virginia are without exception,
Malone men, but the Mahonites
explain this by saying that ninety
nine one-hundredths Of the work
ing members of the Republican
party in Virginia are what is
known as Malone men and that it
is next TO impossible for their
opponents to get properly endors-
ed for office

glaring irregularities they had

The commission will start west

Investigations. The present com
mission seems to be determined to
have the law strictly enforced,
something never done before. It
is not possible to make such a
hunbug Of a law popular, but it IS
something to know that it is being
as far as the commissioners can
control it, honestly administered.

McCord at Washington.

Our member Of Congress left
for Washington Sunday evening,
to be gone about a month. Being
asked by a reporter what Particu-
lar business called him there he
said that there are several local.
ties that desire better mail facil-
tiles and are entitled to what they
ask: but thus far he had found
that trying to accomplish much
by correspondence was very slow
and unsatisfactory. He also had
other matters in which parties Of
the district were Interested that
could better be accomplished by
his presence in Washington than
otherwise. There were also more
than twenty pension cases pend
ing where the applicants were
supported in whole or in part by
public charity, that he hoped to
be able to get soon, or some Of
the applicants would be beyond
the need of any help tie govern
ment could render them. While
Senator Sawyer wasin Washington,
he could call on him and he was
always ready and efficient; but
now that the Senator had left the
capitol, he found it expedient to
60 there himself.
Mr.. McCord is taking a very
active part in promoting the claims
Of the old soldiers. He has
already had the pension board in
this district, partially reconstruct
ed, and hopes soon to bring about
other changes, and thus have the
board consist Of surgeons who will
not only Judge intelligently and
fairly of the claims Of applicants,
but he wants boards that will, in
case of doubt, give the applicant
the benefit Of the doubt.
Mr.. McCord, not having been
in Washington since a few days
after the Inauguration, had
secured fewer changes in fourth
class postmasters than any mem
Der of congress from Wisconsin.
This is accounted for in part, by
the fact that only where the inter
est Of the service demanded
change, and when the people have
been substantially agreed upon
who they wanted has he asked for
removals. A large majority Of
the changes that have been made
in this district, are where there
were vacancies to be filed, caused
by designations.
The administration, he said
seemed to be moving slowly, and
was moving slowly; but while
some of our friends are impatient
and think the heads ought to fall
faster, yet he thought this de1iber-
alton was commendable and that
people would in the end, approve
the course that was being pursued.
1t would demonstrate that our
party was not exclusively a spoils
hunting party, but had missions to
perform other than to turn over
the loaves and fishes to its friends.
We would get the great bulk of
the offices in the end and would
keep them; for the party had come
this time to stay and victory
would henceforth abide with US
Merrill Advocate.

Gov. Foraker's private secretary
spent several days in Washington
last week and his presence started
all sorts OF political speculations.
One story that obtained greater
evidence than any other Of the
rest said that Foraker has made
up his mind that he would be a
candidate for governor Of Ohio for
the third time, and that he had
sent his secretary here to acquaint
the President with his designs, and
also to urge upon him the necess-
ity Of appointing certain gentle
men, friends of the Governor, to
certain positions. How much
truth, if any, there is in the story
l have been unable to discover.
Secretary Blaine accompanied
the British minister in a call on
the President, Saturday, for the
purpose Of conveying to him the
sympathy of the Queen of Eng
land for the American people in
the great flood disaster. The
President replied in a few fitting
words.

The President has committed
the sentence of dismissal from the
service, which a court martial
recently found against Capt Geo.
A. Armes y. S. A. retired, to con
hnement within such limits as the
Secretary Of War may prescribe,
and to deprivation Of the right to
wear the uniform and insignia of
his rank in the army for FIVE years.
Capt. Armes was charged with
conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman. The principal
specifications being, intruding
upon the ranks Of the inaugural
parade, and attempted to pull the
nose Of Gov. Beaver, in a hotel
lobby. Armes is generally
regarded as a little more than half
cracked, but his war record was
an unusually brilliant one, and it
has pulled him through several
scrapes as bad as this one.
