there is no certainty yet OF his securing

left over from the last national cam
paign, nearly all the money came out OF
his own pocket. He bore the expense OF
the Congressional Committee here, the
Legislative Committee In Ohio. and
committee Of negroes in that State. and
he sent out over 10000 personal appeals.

MOSBY IN THE COLD.
Colonel John S. Mosby seems to be
severely left out in the cold. Months
aeo he was slated for the consul-gene-
ralship at Habana to succeed General
Fitzhugh Lee. but the President, finding
that 1t would be neither prudent nor
popular to make any change there, the
Colonel was side-tracked, and put on
the waiting list The next thing that
came up in the way OF a foreign plum
was the mission to Guatemala and Hon
duras. and II was understood that Colonel
Mosby was promised that position. The
announcement to-day of the appointment
of DIR. w. Godfrey Hunter OF Kentucky,
as predicted in these dispatches. to the
latter place, blasts the Coloners hopes
of ANYTHING In the shape OF good
foreign Office. There are very few omces
left. and the best that Colonel Mosby
can now expect is an ordinary CONSUL
ship. which will pay about $500 per
anpum. and II Is doubtful II he will even
get one of these.
Mosby has not figured in Virginia poll
tics, and, of course, the present ma
chimes committee, which controls the
State patronage, takes no interest IN
him, ana consequently hc VIE nav ="
depend on his own personal influence,
and that OF his friends, with the ad-
ministration. This influence does not
amount to much, and according to pres
ent indications, and the statements OF
leading Virginia Republicans, the Colo
nel's prospects for Federal pap are ex-
ceedingly slim and misty.
