Baltim"re, May "A Washington Spc-

asked what the policy of the Adlninistrs-
tiou is to be with regard to the appoint
mcnt of negroes as postInasters in South
ern States
1t il a question that has not yet been
cnnSidercd,'' he said, land one which
cannot therefore discuss. 1t must be de
ternhned, however. aud until it is eau
not venture an opinion regarding it -
The appointment of negro at Augusta,
Ga, il is said, has convinced the Post
master General that further appointm .nts
of like character are apt to do more harm
than good. The question enbarrasses tho
Administration, inasmuch as it is under
stood TO be the desire OF the President TO
recognize the negroes of the South in the
distribution Of offices, but, at the saue
time, he has no wish TO outrage the sensi-
bilities Of the whites.
