n. 2. Woodruff of Macon Won't Be
suuervisiug Architect-E. I. Renick
of Atlanta Loses an Assistant Secre-
tsrvship of State-The Tilt Over the

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE appoint
ment OF Jerry O'Rourke Of New Jersey as
,unervising architect Of the treasury de.
faats the ambition of Macon man, D. B.
Woodruff, who was an applicant for the
nosition. and who withal is q very COM
netent gentleman. Mr.. Woodruff visited
Washington soon after the inauguration,
remained several days, filed his papers and
then sensibly returned to his work at home.
Another Georgian got turned down to-
dsy-E. /. Renick, formerly Of Atlanta,
who wanted to be Third Assistant Secretary
of State. Mr.. Renick Is an 81 800 clerk in
the treasury department and so impressed
himself upon Mr.. Gresham that Mr..
Gresham desired to have him attached to
his political family. Mr.. Renick is q native
Of Virginia and had resided in Georgia one
year before removing to Washington. and
It is thought that this flaw in his title to
citizenship proved fatal, This office is the
place Frank Gordon wanted until promi-
nent law firm persuaded him to associate
himself in their business. Mr.. Strobel of
New York won the place.
THE CoLONELs DISAPPOINTED.
The list Of nominations sent over from
the white house to the Senate to-day con-
tanned not "a single Georgia name. When
the yellow posters were hung up the colonies
made rush for the press gallery lobby and
the clamor in their ranks did not sound like
song Of praise, but was atfiuent in the
style of adjectives that were most in favor
with the army Of Flanders. IL is pretty
generally conceded that Georgia will get
two moro first-rate consular places, and
Harvey Johnson Of Atlanta, by common
consent, ia slated for one of them.
Bsscom Myrick has submitted the files Of
his paper to the state department to refute
the charges thas he fought Mr.. Cleveland
unfairly, but this episode in itself will likely
bring ahout his defeat, as there are
other gentlemen equally as we'll indorsed
who we're known to be the Presidents
friends from the beginning of the
enti-Clevelsnd campaign in New York
state. Mr. Myrick with commendable
csndor declares that ne hardly expects an
appointment under the conditions that now
exist, but he thinks the President should
select two or more of his political friends in
view Of the fact that Gen. Young was a
Hill man and Mr.. Dobbs on the political
fence. He rather thinks that Harvey John
son and B. M Blackburn will draw the
prize packages.
A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
IA tempest in a teapot best describes
the sensational stuff sent out from here
abOuk tho MIIa6oauilia posfOffiCa Tho
uation in that little city does not differ
materially from the conditions that exist,
or that Will exist, in other towns Of its size.
The office is worth 81, 500 per annum aud
there are half dozen or more applicants for
the place, and tha5 simply is all there
is to the local side Of it. The important
question involved is the right of the sena-
tors TO control the selection of pOstmasters
who hold the Presidents commission. Both
senators claim this right, while Mr.. Caba-
Mss Is disposed TO think that he has a voice
In such issues and 50 the question is raised,
and it must be settled by some authority.
The question as to who the two senators
favor or who Mr.. Cabaniss favors
cuts no figure just now. al
though 1t is known that they
do not agree, the senators preferring Mr..
Newell and Mr.. Cabaniss Stetson Sand
ford. During the course Of a conversation
to-day Gen. Gordon expressed his entire
Willingness to yield all his right in the prem
ises rather than have disagreement with
Mr. Cabauiss, aud as every one knows how
warm hearted and generous Tom Cahaniss
Is 1t may safely be said that an agreeable
understanding will be reached by and by.
