From Our Regular Correspondent

collector is TOO well known IN hlcbmOnu
10 require any sketch in this column, es-
pecially "a the DISPATCH recently had an
account of his career.
OF course Congressman Wise recon-
mended Mr.. Wallace. and the Secretary OF
the Treasury was very kind IN making an
early change as requested by the repre-
sentative in Congress.
The North Carolina appointments were
those of Mr.. Hope Elias, OF Franklin. who
is to be the Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Fifth Cor Western) District of his
State, and Mr.. Il. b. Glenn. TO be Attorney
for the same district. Mr. Elias IS here at
present and has been IN the city for the
past two weeks ormore. The North Caro-
lima colony in Washington. almost without
exception, are happy over the appoint
ments. Both are fine offices that have
been given to these gentlemen. and II goes
without saying that they will make good
officers. Mr.. Elias will have the dispensing
OF more patronage than any official In
North Carolina.
Mr.. Glenn is expected to arrive here to-
morrow, when his commission Will be Is
sued.
The latter the President well knew had
not only made a brilliant canvass last year
as one of the Cleveland electors at large,
but he had also favored the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago. Mr.. Glenn's
services and standing were such also that
he was bound TO have suitable position
rendered him.
CoMING COLLECTORS.
The report that the President would
leave the city tomorrow proved 20 be er-
roneous. He will not start for Buzzards
Bay for some days yet. and IN the mean
time he Is considering other Virginia and
North Carolina matters of Importance
with n view of announcing the appoint
mems right of. One or more NAV be eX-
pected tomorrow. Seven collectors OF
internal revenue were appointed To-
day. and il il learned that the
President is about ready 10 an
nounce the Virginia collectors. There ~
10 reason TO doubt that Messrs. Shepperd
and Ryan will be the collectors for the
Virginia districts. The other collector for
North Carolina, who will be ex-COngress-
man Simmons, is also expected IN the
course Of few days. The same IS true OF
the attorneyship for the Eastern District
Of that State. Ar. AycOck Will be the
attorney.
NOT on THE LIST.
A number of Indian InspectOrships were
on tO-day's list of appointments, but Nlr-
GINA was not represented on the list. al
though II has been thought for some time
that Colonel Thomas Jones, OF Narrenton,
would either be given one OF these posi-
tons or else be appointed Superntendent
Of Indian Schools. IL IS sad That he would
prefer the latter.
Senator Hunton IL still at his home. in
WaGrenton, and nothing could be learned
as TO when action is expected.
WILL NOT 60 TO CHILE.
Hon. John Goode has returned from n
visit to Virginia. He has been down ID
the Norfolk region and has also been IN
Bedford county. Mr. Goode, in accepting
a position as one Of the arbltrators III the
Chilean matter. will not have to visit
Chile The report was printed In one OF
the State papers that he.would soon leave
for that country, but 1t was erroneous.
HIS work will all be done in Washington,
and that was the understanding when the
place was rendered hun.
Only one Virginia application was filed
at the Treasury Department to-day that
of ". b. Nails. of Alexandria. who wants
to be assistant custodian of dies and plates.
There were no applications from North
Carolina.
Very few of the Virginia and North Caro-
lima congressman are in the city at pres
ent. Mr. Epes left for home yesterday
morning He was very active during his
last visit, and secured the promise of the
department officials that many changes
will be made in postmastershlps in his DIS
trlct. These changes cannot be made IN
day, week. or even a month. but the
cases have been made up aud action will
lie taken rs soon as they can be reached IN
the order filed. There are so many States
and Territories that necessarily the de-
partment officials try TO give them an
equal chance when fayors are asked.
