FROM Our Regular correspondent.l J

WASHINGTON. April q. Representative
Marshall was busy al the departments to-
day in the interests of hi5 constituents.
He returned TO the city last night late and
was bustling around early this morning.
1t will be remembered that it was recently
stated in this correspondence that MIR.
Marshall. made the discovery during his
last stay in the city that in the depart
ments here there was only one position
credited 10 the Ninth District of Vir-
ginla. that he has the honor 70
represent; and even that one lone position
was held by negro who was credited TO
the Atkins Tank, in Smyth county. The
negro claims to be an eX-sOldier OF the
Union. but il is very doubtful if he has
ever hyed at Atkins Tank. If he has a
residence there he Will now have chance
to return To the Tank and once more be-
come acclimated. for to-day Mr. Marshall
succeeded IN bringing about his removal
ond had appointed 10 the position W. II.
Moyer, OF Wythe county.
RIVAL APPLICANTS.
Mr.. Marshall paid visit also to-day to
the Agricultural Department and urged
the appointment Of William Earnest, of
Glade Spring Washington county, Va, to
the position Of StatistIcian for the State Of
Virginia This Is the same place for
which Mr. BrennamaD, chairman OF the
Democratic Committee of Shenandoah, Is
being pressed and for which he has such
heavy endorsements. Mr.. Marshall saws
he feels bound 10 do all he can for his own
candidate. but recognizes, he admits, that
the Shenandoah-co county asprant Is fine
gentleman, etc.
Mr. Marshall proposes 10 camp here for
a y a
that the Ninth District should have ITS
quota Of the places. and II will not ne his
fanlt If the Offices are not forthcoming.
his FULL TERM.
Considerable inquiry Is being made "a 10
how long Mr. Joseph ). Miller as Commits
sIoner of Internal Revenue aud Hon.
Caleb W. West as Governor Of Utah
served under the former Cleyc-
land Administration. For the lnfoI-
nation OF those interested II can be
stated that Mr.. Miller served out his
full term and more. His appoint
ment IN 1855 was one Of the first Mr.. Clcye-
land made after becoming President. The
appointment was agreed on practically be-
fore Mr.. Cleveland reached Washington
The late Congressman Randall spe-
cially urged the appointment, but. of
course, Nr. Miller was backed by Senators
Camden and kenna. A bold night was
made by the kentucklans for eX-COngreSs-
man Philip Thompson. but the West Nir-
gina candidate was too strong.
MIR. Miller was not removed by Presi-
dent Harrison until several weeks alter
bis term was ont a. commissioner.
THE SECRETARY HIS FRIEND.
Governor West was not appointed 10
his place IL Utah until a year or more
after Nj. Cleveland became President,
and he was promptly removed 10y lLlrri-
son. His personal friend, Secretary Car
hsle, il Is believed. made the successful
impression on the President to overcome
the ex rule and that Is how Governor
West scored again.
Mr.. Miller. in addition TO making q fine
record as commissioner. IL a splendid man
socially, and he and Mr.. Cleveland became
warm friends They used TO hunt and fish
together in the Nlrginias. Slr. Mller'S
selection again gives general satisfaction
among the Democrats.
J. 1. Houston, of Norfolk William Tay-
lOr lhOm, and B. >. Crews and wife, OF
Danvillo. are among the Nirginians regis
tered at the Metropolitan to-day.
