nsked here, what 10 CORONER J"''ii -
Mosby going TO get?' This interrogatory
refers. in Washington parlance' 10 an
Office. Nobody seems TO be able TO an
swer the question satisfactorily. but &C
cordlng TO the best Information at hand
81 seems that the gallant Confederate
officer and friend of the late Geherai
Grant IS not going TO get anything
Some months ago 1t was stated heio
that he was TO get the consul-generai-
shin AT Habana. but Mosby is quoted as
saving that he would not be official
executioner OF Fitz. Lee" and OF course
81 that Office was offered to him. Nc
must have declined II, but there IS no
evidence to that effect.
The President has been frequently ac-
cused OF acting in bad faith with once,
seekers. II is said that he has PROMISED
places 10 numerous applicants ana 'heI
amounted others to those oihces'
SO the most reliable authority ior
s,at,nq that Colonel Mosby Is one OIL
ar victims OF Mr.. McKinley's unfui-
80 ,,roroiees The statement is mace
that the president promised OoloN'i
Nlosbv the mission TO Guatemala anu
that the latter was perfectly sa'lsN'u
=. would get that appointment, anu' u
course did not give himself any lui
~ trouble about 1t. To the Colonei
s.,r,r,so however. and that Of those
who were in the secret, Dr. hunter, '"e
defeated candidate for Senator III Mn
tnclsv. was the recipient Of the Plum
Notbing has been heard from Colonei
Ntosbv in regard to the matter anu
whether the failure to give nm inc
crotemalan mission disposes OF ms
chances for a foreign Office or not -
not known. The Colonel has no re-
lations with the present Virginia once
dispensing machine.
CONGRESSIONAL GOOD TURN
CONGRESSMAN Lamb came here to-uay'
md. as usual did another good turn
Cor n constituent Mr.. w. c. Tyler OF
ptcbuoond. a clerk IN the Interior De-
nsrtment had been suspended, on
charges filed against him by Edward
richardson, of Georgia, VINO WAS us
charged from the same department
sor,e four months ago. IL appears ina
Mr.. Tyler and Richardson had had
quarrel while the latter was stsi III vi :
Gee Richardson vowed that ne Wou'u
,et even with Tyler, and recently he
Med charges accusing him OF MAXIM
,.r,arls derogatory TO and disrespectlui
OF Union soldiers some sixteen inoii ' ,n'
ago. Upon these malicious ana Vlndic-
i've charges MI Tyler was suspended
Clntain Lamb, however, saw the Secre-
tarv of the Interior and had the ORDER
eusnrnding Tyler countermanded, ana ne
X,as restored TO his position until an
Investigation can be had. THIS VIII take
mace next week, and it is SAFE TO PIE
dict that Mr.. Tyler will he eXonerateo
IA II Is a clear case OF Vindicuve per
secution. p,.,,
MIR Horace Halves and bride. of Rich
rnond. who have been spending theli
honeymoon abroad, passed through th4'
evening on their way home.
General Edgar Allan, member OF th'
machine Republican State Committee an
rived here this evening from Kichihohu
OHIO AND THE DARBY.
The administration just now presents
. snectacIe OF complete political prostra
lion. The ofiice-seekers wear a hacked
wearled. sick look. They visit the Whiu
House daily, and see the President, Du'
that little appointment is always a cas-
OF so near and yet so far. Inc heau
OF departments. they say, are unusuaii!
no,,ts and gracious. but it is all mean
i,clsss 60 far as results are concerned
Tbev have wondered what il can mean
and ND 10 date they have been sorel!
puzzled and perpleXed. 1t Is all as clea
- dav now. II is the Ohio election. TIT
revelation comes through promincn
negro poliucian from Georgia, VINO ha'
been here some time, living on Nhte
House PROMISES. He became desperate
Yesterday. and told the President plainl!
what would be the result of his do
nothlng policy in the matter OF sou'her
appointments In that way he forced Mr.
NcKinley's hand. IL was the Ohio cleo
ton.
Despite all reports 10 the contrary, n
election of a Hanna Legislature in Obi,
is far from probable, and the Presiden
tells the negro applicants for postmaster
ships i'm the South that they must wal
until next month. They understand nov
what that means, and, with some excep
tions. they are disposed TO wait Tn
Beaufort IS c. appointment Of a negr
postmaster was one of the exceptions
No alternative was left the President II
that case but action, and. speaking o
the matter to-day, eX-Congressmal
Smalls (colored). whose son-in-law tn
appointee IS. said II took Heaven AM
earth 10 get the President TO make tn
appointment at this time. Everything
ne said, is subordinated to the OH
emergency, and every appointment
whether II is that OF a negro. an Indian
or a white man. seems TO have SOM
mysterious connection with Ohio politics
and this observation seems 10 apply (,
the ordinary business Of the departments
For instance, 1t Is suggested that m
opinion In the Brady removal cases vii
be announced. on this account. and othe
matters Of similar character are sus
pended 10 an amazing condition OF in
nocuous desuetude.
NORTH CAROLINA RELIEF"
The appointment to-day Of J. H. Ram
sey 70 be postmaster at Salisbury, n. c.
settled what promised TO be an ugl,
family fight In the Republican party Il
that state. The defeated candidate
Captain j. A. Ramsey. was a member q
the Legislature. and voted for Pritchard
with the understanding. II IS alleged. tha
ne would be appointed postmaster a
Salisbury. Opposition 10 the sppoint
ment developed 10 such an extent tina
the matter was referred by Senate
Pritchard TO a committee OF prominen
Republicans The committee unanlmousl
recommended the appointment Of j. II
Ramsey Senator Pritchard approve
the action OF the committee. and the ap
pointment to-day was the result Can
tain J. A. Ramsey returns home Ia
night IN a state Of violent mutiny agains
the Pritchard faction. and threatens dis
closures that will make sensation 4
