BACOES REBELLION, LED BY LAMB.
That's What the Anti-Lambites Call

Hun Notes.

WASHINGTON. d. c., September 15.--
(Special)-Hon. Park Agnew. chairman,
and Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., q mem
Der Of the Virginia Republican Executive
Committee, and Republican National
Committeeman George r. Bowden. who
spent the day here, will see the President
tomorrow, by appointment. These gen
tiemen are In high feather, and treat
lightly what they term "Bacon's rebel
lion. headed by Lamb" They ridicule
the published statement that the admin
istration intends holding up Virginia ap-
pointments on account OF the alleged
Lamb disaffection, and point with pride
to the fact that to-day twenty-four
fourth class postrnasters and five presi-
Dental postmasters were appointed, three
of the latter on the recommendation OF
the committee, the other two being from
Congressman Yost's district Messrs.
Agnew. WaddIll, and Bowden visited the
departments generally to-day, and are
entirely satisfied with the situation here,
so far as the support of the regular Re-
publican organization in Virginia by the
administration is concerned.
They appear to have no apprehension
but that Collector Brady's action In re-
caro- to appointments under him VIII In
all respects be sustained. 1t is further
intimated by these gentlemen that Col
lector Agnew and other internal revenue
collectors in the country will quickly
follow suit. accepting Brady's action as
q precedent.
Judge Waddill will leave for home to-
morrow evening The others may re-
main here until the Presidents departure
ON Friday or Saturday for New Eng
land.
NORTH CAROLINA ATTORNEYSHlP.
IT has been understood that Mr.. {.
M Bernard would be appointed United
States Attorney for the Eastern North
Carolina District Mr.. Bernard. accom-
named by Representative Skinner, ar
rived here to-day. Speaking OF the APP
pointment, the term OF the IN
cumbent. Mr.. Aycock, he said, expired
on the 10Th, but there is no assurance
that the appointment OF his successor
will be made at once. In the event that
IL is not Mr.. Aycock will be reappoint-
ed by Chief-Justice Fuller, and VIII con-
tinue in office until some agreement be-
tween the rival candidates Is reached.
contrary to all reports, Senator
Pritcbard has not yet Endorsed Mr.. Bern
ard. and the appointment OF District-
Attorney will not be made until the
fight over the collectorship in the East
ern District is settled. The term OF
Collector simmons does not expire unti
November 2sth, and the impression mere
Is that no Eastern North Carolina ap-
continents will be made until Congress
meets, In December
Senator Pritchard is expected here
Saturday. but will go at once 10 Omaha,
TO investigate charges against the post
master at that place, under resoiu-
ton of the Senate.
A SURPRISE.
1t is reported here tonight that the
Office of Assistant District Attorney has
been nut in the classified service, and
the information, which appears to be
reliable. has produced some consterna-
ton among the many applicants for this
place. Mr.. Spencer Blackburn, recon-
mended for Assistant Attorney In the
Western North Carolina District. ar
rived here to-day. and was surprised TO
hear at The Department OF Justice that
the selection OF an assistant attorney
in the Western District would be made
from the eligible civil-service list.
