IT is still asserted on the streets that Major B.
B. French, Commissioner Of Public Buildings, ia
marked for dismission, although he avows that be

he will receive his orders next week. We are not
surprised at that as we are at the rumor Of the
selection of Gregory Ennis Esq, his successor.
We know that this gentleman has been favorite
the Secretary of the Interior for some time, but
had no idea he could suppose him proper person
to fill that important Office.
