North Carolina to-day has the dlstinc-
tol n having a worthy citizen who has
..wauv refused an Office. Ex-COn-
eraesman William VI. Robbins yesterday
declined 60 accept the consulate 90 Dun
dae. Scotland. at a salary Of $500 per
anuum. and with sufficient unofficial fees
d. make the position worth about $4,000
SIR. Robbins was at FIRST urged for the
Office Of Minister 10 Mexico, and at that
nme his friends thought they could easily
have the Brazilian mission. but time
nsscd. and the consul -generalship at
Havana was sought by them. This was
not 0btainable and finally Mr.. Robbins
made a list OF consulships which he
would accept Dundee was not among
them. and so yesterday when the offer
came OF residence I'm the land Of Wal
lace and Bruce and James Fitziames,
Mr. Robbins packed his trunk and re-
turned 20 the shadows Of the stately
pines and the country has lost the ser
vices of a mighty good man.

lima. was I'm the city to-day. He Is here

e1usin. Miss Patterson, as postmaster

the position. Representative Alexander II

The position of assistant district attor-
ncy for the Western district Of North
Carolina now lies between Messrs. IT, J..
Green. Of Wllkesboro. and vs.. IT. Coving-
ton OF Union county. The latter seems 20
have the benefit OF the political indorse-
ment but it is said that Mr.. Green has
some very influential friends at work for
him.
