siCon until the end of The four-year term
TO which he was appointed, unless. of
course, there should be some cause for his
removal not now in sight; that is, unless
there should he some charges growing out
of mis- administration OF the Office.
There have been no suggestions of any
thing of that sort. The Republicans have

upon the selection of these two men.

Orders were sent TO Augusta by the
Paymaster General to-day which will. il
Is believed straighten out the trouble over
the payment of the Third Georgia Regi-
