MIR. HAYES NOT APPOINTED.
An Official Deniai--A PuzzIing Sit
uation.

The report of the appointment of
Hon. James II. Hayes as United
States Consul TO Guadeloupe. West
Indies at a salary of $1,5O0 per
year has caused much comment in
this state. The friends of Hon
A. w. Harris alleged that the ap-
pointment had been rendered 20 him.
Last week, we were informed that
the friends of Hon. T c. Walker of
Gloucester county alleged that the
appointment mad been rendered to
him. Mr.. Hayes has steadily
maintained a discreet silence. One
of his close friends alleged that the
original Information was contained
in a letter written by Hon. John s
Wise. stating that the position in
question was at Air. Hayes disposal
and that this was about the only
thing in sight at this time that could
be secured for him. In order to
settle the discussion. we wrote the
following letter which. with the sub
sequent correspondence will explain
itself:
