The Fifth Revenue District. "Greensboro, Nov.. 5. I have just returned from Winston. Vague rumors are afloat there which in dicate that President Arthur is not so favorably impressed with Dr. W. H. Wheeler's management of the collectorshio of the Fifth Revenue District, and it seems that considerable doubts exist as to the coming Congress confirm ing his nomination. These reports have grown out of the continued presence in that city, for several weeks past, of special agents who have been sent down from Wash ington City by the department to look into the condition of the office. Dr. Wheeler passed through this place last week on his way to Washington, where he is . now,.. j)rohably -trying.. te get himself straight with the Admin istration. It is said in Winston that Dr. Wheeler, during his last term, kept a "mighty dirty office," and much complaint is heard from the storekeepers about their salaries. It is further asserted that as he appoints incompetent persons to position tinder him, and as the district is now much larger than formerly, the office has got conr siderably behind in its business, necessitating excessive night work. And it is even said that the office is occupied on Sunday. 1 was told that during his for mer administration much com plaint was made by the storekeep ers in the district, because they were not paid off in checks from the Government, but in driblets and sometimes not at all. George Everett, during his : regime, was very careful to pay up promptly and with the checks sent down by the department for that purpose. I was made to understand that the Everett faction, which appa rently has been slumbering sub missively and peacefully, but has been working quietly and vigor ously, intends to do all in its power to persuade Congress not to confirm Wheeler's nomination, and, succeeding in this, to urge the appointment of Mr. H. X. Dwire Mr. Dwire was formerly chief Deputy in Mr. Everett's of fice. In fact, it is said that he conducted the best part of the business. Before this he held a similar position in Statesville un der" Cooper. . Consequently he is thoroughly familiar . with the routine of revenue work, besides being .a competent and popular officer.
