Comparatively few appointments have
been made in the Post Office Department
since the present administration came INTO
power, aud the fault Is due chiefly TO the
siowness with which the POstmaster-G Gene
raj acts. When he takes a notion 10 hurry
up things II Is thought that both Virginia
and North Carolina will secure several
good appointments IN TINT department.
one OF the most important positions still
vacant Is that Of Second Assistant Post
masteT-GeueTal, for which Major Peter j.
Otey, Of Lynchburg. has been vigorously
pressed. IT he fails TO obtain that position
then the superlntendonoY of foreign mails
Is also open, 10 saw nothing of the general
supcrintendencv of railway mails.
Few changes have been made IN chiefs
Of division IN the Post ONCE Department
There are applicants for these positions
both from Virginia and North Carolina.
