SOME OF TIUEIR PECULTAR METHODS, Bpecial Dispatch to The Chienge Tridune Wasmxaton, D, C,, May 16,—In the State of Virglnla thero are about 1,500 post-ofiices. Thirty of them are * Presldentinl * offices, the Postmasters of which are required to be appointed by the Presidout and contirued by the Sunate, The remalnder are offices at which the compensation of Postuasters is less than $1,000 n yenr, These Postasters are appointed by the Postmnster-General, and are not required to be confirmed by the Senate. It ls sald by pursons who have In- vestigated the subject that about 1,000 to 1,200 of the Virginia Postmnsters are Bourbon Democras. Agninst many of these offices complalnts have been made that they have unlawfully prevented political documents-addresied. to Republic- aus or antl-Bourbons from reaching thelr destination. For example, 1t Is nsserted that Iust fall cortaln men. wers to be-appointed Deputy-Marshals of election In one county, and thelr nppolntmients were mailed to them A WEEK UEFORE THE DAY OF ELECTION, Although the documienta had only one day’s Journey to perform fn the matls, they did not reach the persons to whom they weread- dressed until two days after the elee- tion took place, having been con- venfently mislaid by the Bourbon Post- master at the oftice where thuy were to be delivered. It Is also usserted that bundles of Republican and antl-Bourbon tickuts sent through the malls wero destroyed through tho connivance of Bourbon Post- masters into whose hands they, fell, and that politieat documents of the sauie charactor met o shullar fate, There has been a great demand from all parts of Virglula for the u}u- h delivered by Gon, Muhone In the United States Senate, and n great many thousand cuvlus linve been mailed to persony muking application for them, Gon. Mahone declares he Las recelved MANY COMPLAINTS from persons to whoin ton coples of the speech were malled that they did not recelve moro than two ur three coples, Within the lust month eighy or ten Postmasters at amall ofices In Virginin have been removed, nud thess removals are attributed to Gen. Ma- hone's influence, ‘I'he Bourbon Democratle newspapers of Virginia are making w tre- mendous Rdo over theas removals, and HBour- bon politicians are using every effurt to i)ro— vent other removals from belng made. itis underatood that only one ortwo of tho Post- masters removed were Republicaus, and that thelr successors are also Republicans, Whore Bourhon Democrats werd removed thoir places have Leen fitled by RRepublicans or antl-Bourbon Demoerats. Persons who are famlillar with ; VIROINIA POLITICS declaro that many of the United States oflicers, Postmasters, and others who repre- sent thewselves ns Republicans are Re- publicans In nothing save the name and the fact that they vota the Repub- lican tleket for Prestdéntiat Electors, For all other oflices—Congressinen, uisimbers of the Leglalature, ete.—1t 1s asserted thoy in- yarlably work and vote for the Hourbun Democratio tickot, as agalnat the Auti- Bourbon or Republican ticket, It s certain} trnu thut such wen a8 Congressmen Cabell and Tuckor are rulsing a loud outery against the removal of Republicans who are declared to belong to the class above deseribed. THE FIGUT. i Bpeclal Dispateh 1o The Chicago Tridunés LITILE HOPE OF A COMPHOMISE, WasuiNaroy, D, O, May 15.—Very fow Senators are to-night still hopeful of some amicable adjustment of the difileultios arls- fng from the Robertson-Conkling tight, but they are not disposed to glve the reason for the faith thatls in thems, Bomo appear to nave confidence in the statement made by Senator Platt, of Now York, at the lust cau- cus, that, If au adjournment of the caucus could be had until this week, 8 comprom!se might be offectod, It Islearned now, os it was stated [n these dispatches at the tlme, that Platt referred to the forlorn hopo that Robertson might voluntarlly withdraw, Itls now known that Mr, Platt hnad been in Al bany the day before, Iaboring earnestly, but It seems valuly, with -Robertson to Induce him elther to withdraw or to agree to decline the oflice after confinnation. A dlspatch from Albany purporting to give TIHE UKAULT OF BENATOR FLATT'S INTEI- ViEW with Judge Robertson says: *“‘Senator Platt was in Albany on Thursday, aud endeavored w get Mr. Robertsuli to consent to resign tho Colleetorship, in caso he was eaufirnod, and tuke somoe other offica, 'I'he réquest Juufi Robertson refused absolutely even consider, Other requests wore mado that he withdraw ]n conslderation of belng promised the nominagion fur Judge of the Court of Appeals this yeur, or for any State otllco wlnluk"hu mikht select for. hiui- selt i any other friend fn the antl-muchine rurl)'.
