wAsHrxaroN, May 27.--The President
made some appointments to-day. and VIZ
einia was remembered. Mr.. Province
Mccormick. of Clarke county. was on the
list as an Indian Inspector. This appoint
ment was agreed on several days ago, as
heretofore mentioned IN the DISPATCH
and what was done to-day was merely
formalIty. The position OF Indian In
spector is good one. not only as regards
nav. but the work is interesting. Ia old
times it was dangerous thing to go about
among the red men, but now all that IL
changed. The Indians are becoming more
and more civilized, but ii would not make
any difference to Mr.. Mccormick. as Gene
raj William II. Payne and other prominent
gentlemen In the Confederate cavalry
during the war can testify. MIR. McCor-
mick used to be sent on some perilous
missions in war times. and he always got
back. Should any really wild Indian sud
denly become anxious to scalp white
man aud should he run across Dir. NC
Cormck he will give up In disgust wneh
he finds how very bald the new Inspector
Is. he will not find enough hair to scalp.
CHANGE MADE.
A change was made to-day in the Buena
Vista postmastership in Virginia. the RE
sident having appointed Charles L. Jordan
in the place of f. III. Gilbert, removed. Inc
Office paws q straight salary of 81 500 and Is
increasing its business. There are commis-
sions also on money orders, making IL worth
fully $4,000 year or more. ms MAKES
eight changes in presidential post1oinees IN
Virginia since the 4th of March. the Others
being Fredericksburg, Martinsvllle, New.
port News, Radford. Salem. Suffolk. and
Warrenton. The Hampton office Will
probably be the next one changed Only
one change in North Carolina presidential
postmasterships has been made.
The President to-day appointed WIS
consin man 70 the consul generalshlp at
Montreal: Mr. William Bullltt rltznugh.
of Cape Charles, Va, was candidate TOR
this consulate. He will have TO try for
something else.
WHO WILL 1T BE?
II is thought that the Richmond district
will get consulate. but at present II -
difficult to tell who OF tho several candi-
dates has the best chance.
But for the fact that the President and
most of the Cabinet are preparing 10 leave
tho city TO DO absent four or i've DAYS
some more Virginia appointments would
have been made TO-DAY. They Will have
TO wait until the end of next week. lt -
thought that the marshalship and collec-
torshlp of the Western District will be the
next Virginia cases disposed OF.
THEIR MOVEMENTS.
Senator Daniel and Representatives Ed
munds and Tucker have been In the city
for the past two DAYS. They came III
quietly and stopped at the Windsor Hotel.
To-day Mr.. Tucker left at 2 o'clock for
home. Farmer Edmunds departed this
evening, and Senator Daniel Will start for
homo tomorrow morning. They have
been active around the departments for
their constituents, but during the past
several DAYS congressman have not hal
much of chance TO talk with the Cabinet
officers Hours for receiving have been
short, and all the powers that be have
been busy during the week in paving
honor 20 the Princess Eulalie and her
Spanish escort.
DOING ALL RE CAN.
Mr.. Tucker is doing all he can to land
MIR. Warner, of Lexington, into good
Treasury position. He has been pressing
him for one of the auditorshlps. but they
are becoming scarce, and Mr.. Warner may
have TO take something else If the Secre-
tary concludes he can give him recogni-
ton.
Congressman Meredith came over to-
day from Manassas and made his usual
rounds at tho departments.
Messrs. f. +. Golsan, G. w. Voolfolk,
and MIR. SpOoner. of Orange county, were
among visiting Vlrglnlans to-day.
1t is understood that tho President will
take up the North Carolina collectorship
and the district attorneyshlp for the west
ern part of the State just as soon as he
gets back from his trip next week. The
attorneysEip Is between Glenn and Elias.
and the colectorship is dependent on the
solution of the first question. Mr.. Elias
is still IN the city.
