JONES AND MAYNARD.
Congressman Of the First
and Second Districts Here.
Redistricting Outlook.

Congressman Harry L. Maynard, of
Portsmouth. arrived in the city ycster-
day and was in conference with friends at
the Capitol and elsewhere in the city.
Congressman William a. Jones, of the
First District. also arrived about the
same time. Both gentlemen were greeted
by many friends during the day, while
no particular significance is assigned to
their presence here simultaneously at this
time, it is known that Hon. S. Gordon
Cumming and others are engaged in draw
ing a redistricting bill which will be pre-
sented in the two houses of the Cen
eral Assembly in few days.
The demand for the redistrictng of the
State for representative in Congress
came chiefly from the people of the Pen
insula counties of the Second District.
which desire to be added to the First
District. which is slightly below the ave
rage in population Mr. Jones and his
friends, it is understood. object to the
proposed changes. which will throw New
port News, Elizabeth City county, and
Warwick, James City. and York, in the
First District. Mr.. Maynard is not be-
lieved to be averse to the proposed
changes, which would give hin, a more
compact and less popuious constituency.
There is also demand In the Ninth
District for a change in lines. 1t now
seems probable that some change will
be made

Wick because he Is not the man the people
OF Wilson want for postmaster. That ts
another good reason for my action. WICK
may have endorsements as to his charac-
ter from all parts of Wilson, but it is
noticeable that he does not have the en-
dorsement of a single white Democrat for
the position he seeks. AS a matter OF
fact. the endorsement of his character
and conduct of his office is merely an at
tempt to embarrass me. This is done by
Democratic politicians, who believe that
they have an opportunity to create dis
cord, and place the President and myself
in position they can make capital out
of. I have informed the President tina,
Wick is not the choice Of the people of
Wilson for postmaster; that he is not
in accord with the Republican orsaniza-
ton in the State, and that his color has
nothing to do with my endorsement of
another man. The matter is left for the
President to pass upon. l have no dtspo-
sition to force the color issue on the Pres
ident, but stand upon my right to name
a man the people want for postmaster.
Private information is that Senator
Pritchard has decided to stand pat hard
and fast In this case.

BOSTON. MASS, December s.-(Spe-

mail service in this city has just discover
ed that the originator of the present
United States railway mail system, which
is the wonder and admira ton of all coun-
tries. was Richmond man named Da-
Wis, who was the Democratic postmaster
at st. Joseph. Mo-, at the outbreak of
the war between the States. He was ap-
pointed by Buchanan.
The pony express starting from st.
Joseph suggested to Davis crude ar
rangement OF piseonhole sorting of
letters by which he would grab the mail
quickly and hand it to the proper carrier,
each pigeonhole being labelled with the
name of postoffice. Soon after. his idea
was caught by baggasemen on trains.
and the man in charge distributed his
mail for the towns by sorting 1t into
