autsttd the President to make Judge Pau,
Of the U. S. court for the western District OF
Virginia, the new circuit judge for the ViI-
pipia circuit, and told him that Judge PauFs
sppoinlmeoJ would be more satisfactory to
tae republ cans of Vrrginia than that OF any
other mar ia the 8 ate. He slso presented
Judge Pau.'s qualifications in the most faV-
o.able light. Bot 30 far as eVokirg any re-
spopse. he might as well have talked to the
famous sphinx, and go cold VAS he that one
OF the delegations subsequently, told the ga
zErTE's correspondent that on their
part, ct lesst, the call was deemed
ANYTHING else than satisfactory. After the
visit to the White Rouse tho delegation
wen, to the Department Of Justice, aud the
Attorney General being absent, were intro
duoed BY Mr.. Edgar Allen to Assistant At
torney General Taft, who heard what they
had to say, and promised to report 1t to nj
Miller when he returned. Notwithstanding
the fact that almost thu entire republican

recommending Mr.. McComas of Mary lapd
for the place, but now says he Is In favor OF
Jndge Paul. Another one of the delegation
told the GAzErTEs correspondent that not
withstsnding Gen. Mehoae's opposition to
LspeBtop, Langson is not now opposed
70 the General. The General is also here
but neither did he &c, though IL is well
known that he Is opposed to Judge Lewis,
and is doing all he can to have Judge Eau

Mr.. Edgar Allen ssys Craig, who has desire
to he promo ted from U. s. district attorney to
u. E. district ldge, will not have that desire
grs,ified, ss x-Congreesman Wsddill OF Vir-

Collector Brady, the leader Of the anti-Ma-
hone,teg. and Mr. John Wise arrived here by
the Richmond train and met some other
Virginia republicans who do not train With

The following is the only change in the
4 h Glars postoffice, OF Virginia that was
made to-day G fsaff, Charlotte county
Miss B J. Edmunds appointed postmaster
vice w. 4. Lipscomb, resigned.
ali repu 1csns here, whether of high OF
low degree, and DO matter from what sec
lion OF the c,u6try they come, agree that
Mr.. Harrison will be the nominee Of the
mex. national republican convention, but
few or none Of them think he will be re-
elected. Hs will be renominated because
the delegates to the convention will be ap
pointed by the federal Office holders, ard
unless they be bought up by wholesale a.
they were at the last one, which, however
IL no, probable, as Ayers example has hsc
decidedly deterrent effect, sbey Will vote Be
los ruosed.
