most salutary remedy.--Tucson Star.

RECEIVED WITH DISTINCTION,
Col. John Hay Presented TO the
Queen at Windsor.

Tendon, May 4.-Colonel John H Hay,
the newly appointed United States am
bassador to the Court OF st. James, re-
ceived unusual distinction to-day while
presenting his credentials to Queen Vic.
toria at Windsor Castle. The royal car.
riage drove up to Colonel Hays residence
with coachman and two footmen in the
royal scarlet livery, to convey Colonel
and Mrs Hay to Paddington Station.
AT the station they were met by the Mar
monies, the Hon. Sir William james Col
vile, who accompanied them to Windsor.
AT the Windsor railroad station Colo.
mel and Mrs. Hay found q royal carriage
in waiting to convey them to the castle,
where luncheon was served.
Colonel Hay first had an audience with
the Marquis of Salisbury and then pre-.
scented his credentials to her Majesty.
The audience was brief and formal, but
the Queen was specially gracious and ex-
changed with the ambassador mutual ex.
pressions of good will and auity between
both nations.
Mrs. Hay was then received in audience
by the queen, being PRESENTED by the
Countess of Enroll, the lady in waiting.
AS the wife Of an ambassador Mrs. Hay
took precedence over the Portuguese and
Chinese ministers, who also presented
their credentials upon this occasion.
Colonel and Mrs. Hay remained three
hours at Windsor Castle, returned to
Windsor railroad station in royal style
and were met at Paddington railroad sta
tion hy u royal carriage, which conveyed
them to their residence.

NEGROES AS PosTMAsTERs.
No Desire to Outrage Sensibilities of
White People in the South.

az w mite HeoDie IN the Soutn.
Washington, May 4.--Postmaster Gen
seral Gary was asked to-day what the pol
y icy of the administration is tobe with re-
gard to the appointment IF negroes as
postmasters in Southern States.
3, q IT is u question that has not yet been
considered,' he said, land one which 1
cannot therefore discuss. It must be de-
termined, however, and until it is can
not venture an opinion regarding it,
The appointments of negro at
Augusta, Ga, II is said, has convinced
the Postmaster General that further ap-
pointments of a like character are apt to
do more harm than good. The question
embarrasses the administration, mas
much as it is understood to be the desire
OF the President to recognize the negroes
OF the South in the distribution of offices,
but, at the same time, he has no wish to
outrage the sensibilities of the whites.
Southern Republican leaders find them
selves forced to urge the appointment OF
colored men, while the President realizes
that great deal is due them for the sup
port they gave him in the convention at
st. Louis. But, Notwithstanding this, it
may be assumed that neither the Presi
I dent nor the Postmaster General wishes
to appoint negro postmasters, and it is
probable an effort will be made to obviate
the difficulty by asking the local leaders
not to urge them for such positions.

Richmond, Va, May 4.-Hon. George
e. Bowden, of Norfolk, and Mr.. Morgan
Treat, of West Point, are here to-day in
conference with local Republican leaders
with reference to the distribution of Fed
eral patronage. While they would not
admit as much, there is little doubt that
their presence is in the line of meeting
the movement set on foot by Col. Lambs
supporters to have Mr.. Bowden, who has
been made the referee in Virginia affairs,
dethroned. They insist that they will pay
no attention TO the uprising which re-
suited in the Norfolk district delegation
visiting Washington, but Waddill. Allan
and Brady, whom they met, are all anti
Lamb men.
Speaking of the delegations visit to
Washington, Colonel Bowden said:
"There is nothing for me to say regard
ing that matter. 1t is simply n fight to
secure the patronage; and it looks queer
to see man hailing from..New York MAX
