Virginia Applicants.

A feature of the hour set apart for callers at
the White House yesterday was the visit OF 4
party of Yirginians who desire TO create a
vacancy in the office Of commissioner of edu-
cation for the purpose of filling the vacancy.
They were Senator Hunton, State Senators
Harrison, of Winchester and Walton of Shen
andoah, and Judge w. l.. Clarke, of Win
chester. They came to urge the appointment
of Rev. John p. Hyde, of Winchester, as COM
missioner of education.
Applications have been received from the
following Virginia democrats: Charles NJ.
Wallace, of Richmond for the position Of col
lector Of customs John b. Evans, of Lynch
burg, for the position of collector Of internal
revenue in the Sixth district; w. T. Ewing,
Meyers Cave, for the position Of collector Of
internal revenue in the Sixth district; W. IL.
Russell, of Roanoke for the position of in
spector of steam boilers; =. NJ Henry, Of
Richmond, for custodian of plates and dies in
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing;
Charles A. Given, for chief Of division in the
Sixth Auditors office.
A letter from Washington to the Roanoke
Record says: "Thc appointment of Captain
Sheppard TO his old position is by no means
certain, although it would require 4 dray
with a big body on it to haul his endorsements
around the city. Many of these were obtain
ed, however. before the signers knew of the
Presidents No Ex' rule, which is the strong
est card played here against Capt. Sheppard.
Whether it will be the trump card when the
last game in the contest is played. no man
but Grover knoweth, ard | have from deli
cate motives, such as afiiict ail good CORE
spondents, rcfraincd from asking him to show
me his hand. Then again. there is 4 combi-
nation of circumstances in the western dis
trict which, if the government patronage is
Justly distributed, will defeat Captain Shop
pard. The President has been made thor
ougbly acquainted with these, and it is not
believed that he will think it fair and just
that a United Sites Senator, the Attor-
ney General for Virginia, United States
Marshal and Collector of Internal Revenue
ought all to come from the immediate vicin-
ity of Warrenton. In fact, all of them, except
MIR, Levi, live in Warrcnton, and ne lives in
