NEW JUDGESHIPS.
the APPOINTMENTS POSTPONED
AND VIRGINIA LEFT OUT.


Frum Our Regular CorrcspondenGl
WASHINGTON, April ii.-One of the best.
posted Republicans said to-day that he
was almost certain from what he had learned
IN the past few days that the President
would not appoint the new circuit judges
until the assembling OF Congress next
winter. The President holds that the
courts can organize with the judges now
IN the various circuits. map ont tho bust
ness, and then be ready for the additional
Judge Whenever the appointments are
made.
AN OPINION.
This same Republican expressed the
opinion that no one from Virginia would
DO selected. He said that the fight was
too severe, and that in Administration cir
Giles 1t was generally believed that either
Judge Dick, of North Carolina, or General
Nathan Gof, of West Virginia, would re-
ceiye the appointment. He went on to say
that Malone in his ardent desire to have
Judge Paul promoted had ruined the
chances OK any one from Virginia
NO DEMOCRATS.
1t Is thought that the President will ap-
point the judges for the new Land Court
before starting on his tour of the country,
and they are expected to be announced on
Monday next, but it is hardly believed
here that any Democrats will DO on the
court. II this is true then Judge Thomas
Smith, formerly of warrenton. Va, is out
OF the question. A court of this character
ought by rights to have at least two Demo-
Gratis on it, but the places are valuable
ones, and as the President Is candidate
for denomination he is going to play the
patronage for all it is worth and do his
utmost to secure delegations.
WANTS PLACE FOR BUTLEB.
General Malone has returned to the city.
he expects to depart again in few days,
however, and very few of his followers
even knew that he intended to return so
soon. He Is said to be looking over the
prospect OF getting places before the Presi-
dent leaves the city. He wants specially
to find out what is going to be done with
circuit judges. 1t is stated IN certain
quarters that the President already has an
idea of some of the selections that will be
made. Butler Malone wants to be clerk
OF the new court, and his father is keep
ing his eye open on that account more
than anything else.
ANOTHER HoosIER TREASURER.
II il understood that the President will
appoint new treasurer or the United
States on Monday next TO succeed Mr..
Huston, of Indiana, whose resignation has
been rendered four separate and distinct
times. Mr.. Nebecker. another Hoosler,
and member of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee of Indiana, arrived in tho
city to-day. and it is believed that he will
be the new treasurer. The position was
offered to two other Indiana men, but they
would not accept.
IN BAD HEALTH.
Huston has been in bad health for the
past year aud he has never been satisfied
with his position. He has not believed
that he was treated right. He was chair
man of the Indiana Committee in 1888
and did more than any one else, Dudley
excepted. to carry the State for Harrison.
Huston wanted Cabinet position, and
failing to get it he has been soured ever
since. He is o man of wealth and influence
and he will make trouble for Harrison in
the Hoosier State.
