Amongst The number Of reported removals which
previously noticed, was that of Peter Hagner,
tnlrd auditor in the Treasury Department. learn
that this gentleman has not yet been dismissed,
but most certainly will be. The cry OF proscrip-
ton Will doubtless be raised in reference to this
and other removals, with how much justice may
be conceived when inform you that Of all the
clerks which this individual has under him, (and
they are numerous) he had but two who were not
wings, and that a short time since he cOntrived to
have one of those removed, and supplied his place
with whig. In fact he has proved himself most
extremely intolerant, and yet his removal will be
exclaimed against as tor opinions sake, proscrp-
ton and so forth.
William Davldge, clerk in the Pension Office,
at $l4OO per annum, has also been removed This
Is one OF the We0sierlan appointments. He was
formerly editor, or assistant editor OF the Madiso
MAN during Webster's reign, and every now and
then would write and publish an article in favor OF
protection, American labor, &c. This did not suit
at all, and Mr. Tyler was given to understand that
such vasarles as that could not be put up wi h in
the Madisonian for it was altogether too much OF
John Jonessm and would not do Orders were
accordingly given that Mr. Davdge should not
write anyi more tor the Mddisoniom, and then
Mr. Webster provided him with the $l4OO stua-
ton above mentioned, from which he has been
just ousted
The Madisomiam, of yesterday, appears to be
rather dolorously savage. 1t sees one Tyler Office
where the axe will fall next, itcres out that it was
not so nomnatedin the bond, that it not on such
terms at all that John Jones consented to support
Mr.. Polk, and OF course he considers 1t very un-
grateful; and himself, Mr. Tyler and the 1ylerites
in general, very llused individuals. | expect that
this evening John will come out with an article
which will, perhaps, frighten the administration
into compton hts. John finds the times different
now to what they used to was He don't constl-
t1re the Kitchen Cabinet now, and, consequently,
office seekers don't require his aid and influence to
obtain their wishes. Shocking. very this state OF
things To John!
The Cabinet has to-day had meeting, and were
very long time in session Their doings have not
yet traospired, but it is supposed that they have
been busly engaged constructing, or attempting to
construct, an organ All sorts Of rumors are in
circulation, so that it is very difficult to decide
what to believe. Some say that Mr. Blair has
proved intractible-that he says he don't intend to
and wont sell out-and that if he would, there amt
any one IN Washington rich enough to buy him
out. Others say that Mr. Richie is coming here
to take charge of the Globe, and that Blair must
and will sell out to him, and that then Richie will
get the printing from both the Senate and the
House. and make his fortune before the end of
Mr Folks term, Others again say that Harris &
Heiss, of the Nashville Union, will next week,
or the one after, establish new paper, which will
forthwith be constituted the organ. Others say,
the Constitution and the MACEDONIAN will be ANAL
gama,ed, and then be put under the charge of Mr.
Richie, and that be the organ. All that learn
rom all these reports Is, that very few of them If
any, know anything about the facts Of the case.
have, however, learned that Mr.. Richie, who
left the city. ostenslbly yesterday morning, was
nevertheless in town all day, having merely gone
to Alexandria to throw folks off the scent Anc
from some information | received this morning,
am inclined to believe that an arrangement has
been entered into, by which Blair is to retire from
the Globe, and that paper be MADE the organ, with
Mr. R'tchle as It's editor. 1t is, however, well
known that Colonel Benton is exceedingly dssat-
stied, not having been confdentiay, or. indeed,
unconfidentay consulted by Mr. Polk and it is
40 longer doubtful that he will all his power to
prevent Blair from accedng TO any such arrange
ment, whether he will be successful or not. In
fact, the administration is in a peck or trouble
about their "organ," and it will not be surprising
# there should be an explosion very shortly. A re.
port has been in circulation to-day, before the Ca
b'net adjourned, that Mr. Harris had been appoint
Charge 10 Austria. and that this was the Mr. Har-
rs OF the Consultation, and not the Mr.. Harris Of
the Nashville Union If it should be the latter it
10 very certain he can't be Charge to Austria and
editor of the s.organ'' at Washington and if the
former it would look as if the Globe had been pur-
chased, and Mr.. Polk and the Cabinet were de.
-rous OF providing for Mr. Harris Of the Constitu.
ton Harris himself, however, who is not only
scholar, but also gentlemen, and withal a clever
fellow, and who would make, doubt not, good
Charge, has not heard OF this promotion, which he
g said to have received. and says he does not be.
lleve the rumOr 10 be true.
Among the offices to be disposed Of in this dis.
trct, is the Wardenshp of the Penitenliary, quite
snug little affair 1t is the subject of spirited
contest for the appointment. For il there are three
applicants more prominent than tn balance,-Mr.
Towles, Mr. Clark, and Mr.. w. Smailwood -
The first is the nominee Of some club in this die.
trct, which considers itself entitled to the right OF
dividing out the offices In the district, and that
Captain Polk has only TO appoint their nominees.
The second is the nominee OF the Restoration
lists, who think every one who was turned out to
make way for wing ought to be reinstated with
out any regard to the number OF years they have
led on the public purse. The third is the present
efficient assistant postmaster, OF the House of Re-
representatives., and bids fair to carry off the PRICE

says to the effect that if, under the new rates of
