Once for all, we tell Mr.. Bancroft he must first
begin the work of rotation in his department, or
he will never succeed to the satisfaction OF the
Young democracie" Does he not know-if not,
we now apprise him Of il-that the head of every
bureau in the Navy Department, without one SIN
gle exception, is whig l--some OF them strongly
lmpregnated with Tylerism, to be sure, but none
the better for that In his consultations, therefor
with his chief subord.nates, he is consulting
wings; and Henry Clay knows, and Greeley knows,
and we all know, that they will mlsead and dis
appoint him. In word, for an ective, potential,
progressive, and efficient Administrator, 1t Is IN
cumbent first, that the old order OF hlnes and the
old WORKOUT, superannuated clerks, be dispensed
with, and their places occupied by new men, OF
enterprise, ia Tents, and practical business habts-
such body of men as will effect, before the expi-
and systematic reorganization In every bureau OF

There are several candidates for the Collectors
office at Philadelphia, whose chances appear to be
Well contested. MIR. Buchanan goes tor DR.. Le-
man Mr.: Walker goes for Henry Horn; the Pre-;
siden nclines 10 Mr.. Welsh, and his decision will
OF course settle the question. In case OF the APP
pointment of Welsh for collector, L.man will
stand fair chance for the Naval agency; while
John Horn, brother Of Henry, is to be compensated
with the Treasurer's office Of the Mint. Welsh,
we understand, was for long time editor OF the
Harrisburg Reporter, and is a slap-up and capable
man. Meantime Col. Page wants his old berth in
the post office but we are not of those who agree
that old officehoders turned out. have reverson-
ary interest IN the government patronage. There
are entirely too many appointments made upon this
principle.
project has been started of creating new de
partment in the Federal Executive Government.
It is proposed to take the Indian bureau from the
War Department, the Land Office from the Trea-
snry, and with the addition OF an Agricultural Bu-
reau, to concentrate them all in the Patent Office,
which Office thus augmented and extended III its
sphere of operations, shall be known under the
name and style OF the Home Department, TO be on
an equal footing with the other departments the
salary OF its Secretary and his voice in the Cabinet.
The idea is not bad one, but we doubt whether
such reform would contribute to the cause OF re-
trenchmenf.

Bishop MckenCree, of the Methodist EpiscOpa
Church aud situate III the Northern Liberties OF this
city, was yesterday dedicated to the service Of AL

altogether, there were $1,000 collected during the

We are glad to learn that President Polk has
determined TO contribute 500 for the Pittsburg

other officers OF the cabinet, $50. We have no
doubt that this rumor will be confirmed.
