Dabney H. Maury, who represented thi
government in the United States of Co
lumbia four years ago, is willing to taxi
the place again, and has so said to hi
friends, who will do what they can t,
| further his ambition. Mr.. John R. Har
would like to live at Prague, and will &C
cept an appointment there if he can Sc
cure it. There are at least dozen ap
plicants for marshal of the eastern ant
western districts. Among those in thu
eastern district list are James r. Gordon
r. r. Prentiss, of Suffolk: Colonel Starke
of Norfolk; Meade Haskins, of Rich
mond; F. r. Lassiter, of Petersburg
Catlet Gibson, of Culpeper, and for the
western, ex-Congressman George q
Cabell; Mr.. Montague, of Danville; Mr.
Byrd, of Winchester; Mr.. Downing, oil
Front Royal; A. H. Blanchard, of Bris
tol, and Hampton Hoge. Col. Thomas
Smith, of Warrenton, has come to the
front as a candidate for the judgeship Of
the new Court of Appeals.
In the treasury department there were
only two applications filed by Virginians
| those of 7. NJ. Wade, of Lexington, fol
the sixth authorship, and L. w. Reid
of Alexandria, as assistant register of the
treasury. Mr.. Reid held the position
under President Cleveland before and
was succeeded by Harry Smith, exjour
nal clerk of the House.
There are fully twenty-five young law
yers in the State who would be willing
to serve in the Department of Justice
in some capacity, but who have not yet
made their wishes known to the Attor,
ney general
The impression is growing among
Judge Goodies friends that he will carry
off the solicitor generalship prize. He is
highly thought Of by several of the Cab
met, and it is believed they have pre-
sented to the President the Judges
name in strong terms.
A Cabinet officer is the authority for
the statement that Judge Goode is by
far the strongest candidate so far in the
race.

missioner of internal revenue under the
last administration, has filed his appli
cation for reinstatement, and E. NJ. GilA
kerson, of Romnefi, w. Va, wants to be
collector of internal revenue.
There is a great deal Of speculation
being INDUCED in just now by clerks OF
the Postofice Department regarding the
probable changes among the heads Of

have chance of retaining his position,
although there are a number of appli-
eants for it, is Captain James E. White,
the present superintendent of the rail
way mail service.
