Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Kennedy's denuncis-
ton of Quay is still the sole topic Of converse
tion in political circles. He has received no en-
couragement for his bitter attack. His own
impression grows that he acted en-

one of the advocates Of the force bill. He was
very muck provoked because the bill did not

smothered unless the force bill was passed, and
failed. He secured fifty signatures and then
showed the petition to Aldrich, who
told him in forcible language he was an ass
Then Quay took hand and the force bill went
over. Kennedy saw his chance TO exploit him
SELF and gain some notoriety which he craYed,
his speech. He has been gerlym anded out
he now wants to be governor. He thinks this
last TRADE on Quay will help him, as Ohio peo-

more on a sentimental admiration of his sup

his actual record or the performances OF his ad-

PosroFFICE AT MEMPHIS.
The postoffice department has authorized the
establishment of postotfice at Memphis Hall
county with Mr.. Robinson as postmaster. This
settles the long vexed question over the est alb
ishment of an Office at this place, and OF course
Salisbury is not happy.
The house to- day agreed to the conference re-
port on the river and harbor bill, which leaves
the Texas water way improve ment as previously
stated in these dispatches. Texas has Jared

Otto Post postmaster.
Samuel G. Bright has been appointed post
