TENNESSEE APPOINTMENTS.
1t Seems That None win BE Given Out
Mt an Early Date.

There is another hitch in Tennessee
appointments, and they may not be
made for some time. The President
does not seem inclined to take up these
matters till the repeal bill shall have
passed the Senate.
Judge McCorry's chances of being
District Attorney for West Tennessee
are no so bright as they were, and Col
julie Taylor, of memphis, may win af'
ter all. Col. Patterson is making n
hard fight for Taylor, and says he will
win. He expects to get both Taylor
and Manson appointed, Manson as
Marshall. Both men are from Patter-
sons district, but he is confident of the
support of the administration.
Mics Carrie Kirby Smith, to-day ap-
pointed postmistress at Sewanee, is a
daughter of the late Gen. Kirby Smith
and most estimable young woman
She had the Endorsement OF the entire
Tennessee delegation, as we'll as the
Confederate Veteran Association Of
tn rtv, Mrs. Bissell, wife of the Post
n. g., General, was also a warm sup
potter Of Miss. Smith.
William Lee Chandler, appointed
Land Commissioner in Samoa, is Pres
ident of the Sheffield, Ala, Land Com
papy. He is a native OF the State and
formerly lived at Montgomery. Mr.
Sparksman, a well-known newspaper
man aud formerly correspondent for
The AMERICAN, is slated for the post
Office at Decatur, Ala.
Congressman Houk has introduced
bill for the relief Of j. W. Hammer,
OF Tennessee, on account OF injuries
received at Ford's Theatre. The bill
asks for $4,000.
Among the vouchers presented by
Marshal Carter Harrison Is a peculiar
commingling of names. The vouchers
are on account Of Carter >. Harrison,
signed by Jeff Davis and approved by
Grover Cleveland.
