RALEIGH, n. C., April i9-Spccial.-
The appointment OF Ex-Governor jarvis
was not unexpected. on the contrary 4
was pretty generally known that the ap-
pOintment would be made to-day, and
Jarvis would be the man. He has long
been recognized as an intimate friend ara
supporter in public life Of Governor Carr,
and was his strongest supporter In the
canvass during the last campaign
As Governor and LEGISLATOR be mas long
been identified with the work Of develop
ing the State. and viii bring long expe-
rience and untirng energy % a.d him
In the discharge Of the new duties lie
goes TO Washington vita much praci-
cal experience, and, no,withstandlng TOM
porary nature of the commission, II is
believed that he will prove efficient. Gov
ornor Jarvis Is hardly what might be
called an administrator Demorrat. lie
believes In the use OF silver az fircu-
lating medium. and Is a strong advocate
of free coinage. lie Is gifted spSnker
and wen Informed upon all questions OF
the day.
IL is generally agreed uat as the
appointment f. purely personal. and d's-
regards locality. II viii result in the
help Of Ransom and hurt OF Jarvis.
The plan Of Jarvis friends VIII be- TO
elect him IN Ransom's place for the
long term. and elect western man as
Yance's.
Governor Jarvis'sife IN Virginia lady.
and ha. many friends in Richmond. Nor
folk ami other portions OF that state.

torship.

mon consent the western part OF the
