ryrom Our Regular Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, NAV s.-A large batch of
nominations was sent 10 the Senate to-day
hv tho President, and it was q large and
,,-oGtable day for the Virginia Repu blicans
~ the Malone persuasion. They got three
good places. and the autI-Mahone aspirants
we're nowhere. Malone. who has been
Keeping o Little quiet since MS terrible po-
Lt,Ial drubbing in Virginia last fall, has
suddenly bloomed forth, and he looms up
snparently more deeply rooted IN the at
feciions Of Harrison, Wanamaker, and
Clarkson than ever before.
"Our referee az Clarkson calls Ma
Zone has simply got himself together, so
far rs tho Republican party has any dealing
with him. and he has scOoped in three
good places for his followers in the State.
Warren = Lurty. of Rockingham. who
was on the ticket with Malone last year
a.thc Republican candidate for Attorney
General. was to-day appointed marshal for
the new Territory OF Oklahoma. Mr..
Luriy was badly repudiaied Of the polls
even by the Republicans Of bis own county
and be became so disguised that no left the
state aud came to Washington TO practice
law. ostensibly. That was what a promi-
nent anti Malone Republican told the
NeD1'ct correspondent several months AGO.
huf 10 wasn't FIVE minutes after that
another well known Republican Of the
STATE. who had heard that statement. said
"Imrty Is here TO get an office. Malone IS
irving 10 have him appointed tosome good
place. and Iurty wants to leave Virginia
ior good and all"
III LEAVES FOR GOOD.
The latter statement proved 70 be cor
rect Mr.. Lurty was not reaching out after
ihe marshalship. however. He wanted TO
ls one Of the associate justices Of the new
Territory. and u was for that position that
General Malone backed him. He was also
end. rsed by Congressman Waddill,
H0wdeu. and Browne Of the Virginia
delegation, and also by atkinson Atkinson
J.lr,ation. Mcssrs Waddll. BowJen. and
Atkinson called only few DAYS ago at the
White House in Lurty's interest. and
President Harrison then promised the con-
rressIucu that he would look a. fayorably
a~ possible upon the application Of Lurty
and do what he could for him. II was
found. though. that he could not be APP
pointed TO O iusticeship. The marshalsh1p

place hut it - not regarded so permanent
or s1 honorable a position as a Judicial po-
e.t.an.
THr TWO pOSTMAsTFnsUIPS.
Two nominations for postmasterships
were also made for Virginia to-day John
Henry Johnston at Danville and John ].

GINA SINCE this Administration came into
power. There were -four leading contestants,
f.r other three being Captain Robertson
and Barksdalc and Pannill The two last
named are not residents Of the city of Dan
vile. but they pushed Johnston hard for
ihe place. and 40 one time 1t looked as II
one of tine outsiders would he ." imported"
Iha fight was so bitter that Harrison would

PAINTER AND POSTMASTER.

accord with the Malone wing OF the party.
A man named Goodloe WAS also
a candidate, and he asked some of the
more prominent Republicans of the state
30 endorse him, but when some of hrs
friends went TO the department 10 ask for
his appointment Clarkson sand IN erect
