Departments. Clerks for years receiving good
salaries from the government, exhibited symptoms
OF alarm lest they should share the fate of victims
OF merciless conquerors, and were reminded of the

Mr. Secretary Ewing, the most fearless OF the
cabinet, directed the clerks within his balliwlck
TO be paid before three O'Clock to-day, and his

sent TO the post office, equally divided between
those TO be removed, and those to be appointed in
their stead

dismiss democrats from that bureau. And, as for
Peter Haener, the Third Auditor, 1t was conf
IDENTIFY asserted by clerk to-day, that he has re-
signed, having been requested TO do so by the
cabinet He Is a wing, but old age, and hall
century's toll in the service Of the government has

One of the best appointments of late, is that of
