GEORGIA STILL ON DECK.
PLENTY OF COLONELs LEFT TO
FILL a FEW MORE OFFICES.

Take q Hand in the Great Free-for-
sll-President Cleveland Growing
Weary-The AEilledgeviue Postof1ce
Muddle Still Unsettled.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Washington
usually suffers from too much whisky, buta
dreary rain storm to-day varisd the attack
with too much water. This little furry Of
weather interfered somewhat with the gam
bols of the Georgia militia, but the skies are
clear this evening, and the colonies arc
playing each other for all they are worth,
and more too. Among the new arrivals are
Col. Preach Hardeman of Macon and j. c.
Printup of Rome, who have been duly en-.
listed and commissioned. The initiation
of Mr.. Hardeman was 30 drastic that he un-
consciously exchanged his old tile for Maj
Johnson'a new one at the breakfast counter,
very much to Dr. Johuson's annoyance.
President Cleveland is weary with the
ofFice-seekers and declared to-day that no
more appointments other than the safe con-
duct of tbs public business required would
be made just now.
Very many of the bureau chiefs, notably
IN the treasury department., remain TO be
for these changes just now and the Presi-
dent will take time to consider them. Two
of the most important places in the treasury
remain, those OF first and second coz
troller, each worth 5000 per anuum. Be
sides these the third aud fourth auditors
are left. The latter is now held by ex-
Congressman Lynch of Mississippi.
SMITH WEDDING THEM OUT.
In Secretary Hoke Smiths department
there is activity. The secretary has his shop
in hand lie knows just about where to
lay his hand on each one OF his 5000 en-
ployes. The meteorological conditions of
his office for some days past has not made
the republicans happy. Here and there the
az has fallen and a score of heads are in
the basket this evening. Whatever may be
said of Secretary Smith, he has Outstripped
all Of his brother cabinet members ia Gu
listing democratic crew for his craft. 1t
is predicted that he will have full party
complement by Christmas.
MILLEDGEVILLE's P0sTOFFICE.
There is nothing newly developed in the
Milledgeville postotiice case, Q. g. Wilson,
the present incumbent, is an ex-federel sol
dter, and is generally liked in the old capi-
tai. His time has expired, and he stands
ready to turn over bis office to his successor,
whoever he may be. The importans ques-
tion involved in the matter is not mau,
but whether a senator shall have a voice in
presidential sppointees for postotfices. Mr..
Cabaniss has no less than five presidential
offices in his bailiwick, and he has boldly
thrown down the gauntle5 and declared
that IL he is not allowed to name the post
, masters for them he will wash
his hands of the p hole business
At Macon he has warm friend in Mayor
Prince, who he may wish to reward, aud at
ia hn a-~kw ,oukh hf.Eh Il f,A
he has tireles5 supporter in ex-Alderman
Butler Hudson, who swung Spaldiug in his
favor during his heated contest with Bart
lett and Whitfield. 1t is not known who
Mr. CRbaniss faVoFs at MilledgeVille. Some
say 1t is young Stetson Sanford, the son of
Hon. Daniel Sanford, but there is an ele-
ment OF the business community behind
Chaunoey Wright a young merchant that
Mr.. Cabanlss is disposed to respect. Tho
visit OF Hon. Mark. johnson was made here
In Mr. Nrights behalf, and he has strong
Endorsement from Hon. Fleming duBignon
aud majority Of the merchants of the
town. Both Senator Colquitt and Mr.
Cataniss called ON Postmaster General Bis
sell to-day in reference to the Mlledgeville
office.
There is nothing new In the consular field.
Mr.. Blackburn, Hascom Myrick, Harvey
johnson and the balance OF the boys are all
hopeful. The latest on dit is that Myrick is
to go TO Berlin, Blackburn to Frankfort
Harvey johnson to Leipsic This would be a
nice arrangement for Lindsey Johnston, who
lsaccustomed to steer a gondola on the turbid
waters OF Roman flood. Every body hopes
that all the boys may come IN under the
string, and be happy and content with their
posts.
