Four men want the appointment.
One of the candidates was presented
to the president Saturday by Repre-
sentative Gaines. He is George G.

position. The leading candidate is
w. f. Glasscock, secretary of the re-
publican state executive committee.
Charles F. Teter. who was so near
to being the republican nominee for
governor of West Virginia in the last
election, is backed by Representative
Dayton, while w. E. White, a brother
of Governor White, at. present depu-
ty collector, has some backing. The
selection will rest with the senators,
who are Edesirous of doing every
thing they can to bring the recent
factions together. The patronage
from now on will be distributed with
this idea in view.
1t was stated on Saturday, how.
ever, on the best authority that Mr..
Teter will be made First assistant
ostmaster general and is therefore

ecution. and with but five minutes of
life before him. escaping that grim
fate through the devotion and influ-
ence of several ladies.
This incidens in the life of Mr..
Boyd occurred in January. 1865, just
few months before the great Lee
surrendered his battered aud deci-
mated hosts to the invincibls aud
taciturn warrior of the north. Mr..
Boyd was a member of company b.,
First Virginia cavalry. company
and was scouting between Martins
burg and Winchester. The latter
place was at that time occupied by
General Sheridan aud his cavalry.
and some Of the Union troops cabtured
the Confederate soldier while he was
on visit to his home, about IL miles
from Winchester, he being at the
time in full Confederate uniform.
without the formality OF trial he
WAS condemned as a spy aud ordered
to ! executed the next dav at noon.
here was a prompt movements in his
ehalf however, by influential per-
SONS. who knew that the charge was
Rroundless. and a respite was granted
until the next day at noon in order to
permit an investigation. The time set
for the execution drew near, Mr.. Boyd
was conducted to the scene. and a
coffin was provided to receive his body
after the sentence should be carried
out. In the meantime. however, the
matter had been brought to the atten-
tion Of President Lincoln, and he inn
med lately sent word countermanding
the order, and the message OF the great
war president was delivered into the
hands of General Sheridan about the
time Mr.. Bovd was being taken to
the place of execution. General Sher-
idan sent an orderly post haste to the
scene. and the order TO stop the execu-
tion arrived just five minutes before
noon.
Afterward Mr.. Boyd was taken to
Fort NcHenrv. near Baltimore. where
he was held as sn honorable prisoner
of war until after the surrender at
AupOmattox. when he was released
aud returned to his home.
Mr.. Boyd will be remembered by
MANY cid Confederates as gallant
soldier in the army of the south. He
had many exciting experiences and
narrow escapes from death. but one
of the closest calls he ever had was
in the above encounter. Now. after
lapse OF. 40 years-he can look back
upon this incident with great deal
of complacency, remembering the fact
that OF all those who participated in
the occurrance he is about the only one
who survives.
