,a. pre.,den,,s Appointments.

The nomination Of Mr.. BAYARD to be
Ambassador 20 Great Britain. made by the
President 10 the Senate yesterday. will be
cordially approved By our people. They
can never forget how as member OF the
United States Senate in the time of south
ern oppression he nobly and courageously
stood by u.s. He is q type of the lofty
statesman. His personal and political
character is untarnisbed; his experience
in public life has been great, and
the four years which he served as United
States Secretary Of State added to his store
of knowledge of foreign affairs and gave
him a special acquaintance with diplo-
matte details which will be of great value
20 hun now. He will take high rank OF
London. and his dignity and ability Will
do credit 10 the American name in the
ceremonious circles Of that august court
Mr.. BAYABD may be considered q south
ern man Though not Confederate), and
the other southerners who received honor5
Yesterday were Mr.. PORTER. OF Tennessee.

KEYzIR, of Kentucky. who goes as Minis

who goes as Minister TO Guatemala and
Honduras; w. T. TOWNS, OF Virginia.
who is to be Consul at Rio de Janeiro; N.
b. EUsr1s, of Louisiana. to be Secretary of
the United States Legation at PARIS; JOHN
|. HALL. of Georgia, 70 be Assistant Attor-
ney- General Mr.. SKATER, Of West Vir-
GINA. to be Consul at Stratford. Ont, and
Mr.. WILLIAMS, Of Missouri, Consul at Vera
Cruz
Georgia comes IN for larger share than
any other southern State. She is " in the
swim most decidedly.
The nomination of Mr.. TONNES, of Vir-
ginia "a nephew of Colonel A. s. b.
FoRD's), is in the line of the course marked
out for himself by Mr.. CLEVELAND, who
says that he wishes to give consulates to
businessmen who can help to extend
American trade in foreign lands. Mr..
TONNES was endorsed almost unanimously
by the Tobacco Trade of Virginia and
North Carolina, and he expects to be able
to bring to the particular attention OF the
cigarette-smoking people Of Brazil the
bright tobaccos of this country.
He is deserving and capable. and his Sc
lection is gratifying to Virginians and
credltable TO Mr.. SWANSON. who was very
active in his behalf.
Altogether the South Jared very we'll
yesterday, as it had in the previous ap-
pointments Of the President; but We take
it that the compliments of Virginia and
North Carolina are not yet made up.

Found Her Henry.

"My Henry! My Henry! Thank
God!' cried Mrs. Matte Free Tues
day evening ct the Union Depot
as Q dark and beardless young fel-
low al,ghted from a freight train.
Tears of joy coursed down the
cheeks of the young wife as she
fondly clasped her arms around
the man whom she had yesterday
afternoon accused of deserting
her. a bride of only a fortnight. A
short time ago Henry Free formed
the acquaintance of the young wo-
man, who lived near Van Buren,,
Ark. and they were married. Three
days ago Henry purchased q ticket
for his wife and sent her to st,
Louis, telling her to await him at
the depot, and he would follow on
a freight train and meet her when
it came in. Mattie's funds gave
out yesterday, and her husband
not appearing she concluded thai
he had deserted her, and the po
lice were informed of the situation
They intended sending Mrs. Fret
back to the wilds of Arkansas last
evening, but the opportune arrival
of Henry gives st. Louis an in
crease of population, as the couple
intend remaining.-Republic.
