rFrom Our Regular Correspondent ]

the attendance last week the number Of
Virginians in the city was small to-day.
They have pone to their homes to await
developments. Really there is not much
to say vet regarding tho important places
tho State will procure under the administra-
tion. The appointments have not been
numerous so tar. but as far as they have
gone neither Virginia nor North Caro-
Ina has gotten anything IN the diplomatic
or consular line. 1t is due to the fact
that there are too many applicants In the
field. The Paris consulate was filled to-
day by the sending 10 tho Senate the
nomination of Mr.. Samuel T.. Morss,
editor OF the Indianapolis Sent,nel.
Both Virginia and North Carolina had
candidates for this honorable and lucra-
sive position in the persons of General
Peyton Wise, of Richmond, and Mr.. Hale,
q newspaper editor of Fayetteville. The
latter wanted Paris first and if he could
not get that he was willing to go
! to Liverpool. Mr.. Hale was the
| Consul to Manchester under the last
| Democratic Administration and he IS
! heavily backed for any other good con-
sular place the President may see fit to
I hestow upon him. 1t was not generally
I known that Mr.. Morss was in the field for
the Paris consulate. He has been a red
[ hot Cleveland man and now gets his poll
/ tical reward General Wise was also a
! Cleveland man. but he is not an editor OF
a newspaper,
