The Washington correspondent of the New
York tribune thus writes:
General Thomss, the present Asss' ant Secretary
Of State, has been agreeably notified by Mr. Cass
to Fstsin his position. No political changes will
be made in the subordiuates in that department..
and evea the confidential clerks continue in theiT
| former relation. Tee details Of current business
will be conducted by Mr. Thomas and Chief Clerk
Hunter, General Cass considering only the gFAVer
| questions.
The Tribune is certainly very bad authority,
though we hope it may be true. Gen. TH9MAs

Inbo1s ofthe State Department, during Mr. MAR

to procure an Assistant for the Isbors Of his desk
so thoroughly qualified in every respect IS Gen
THOMAS. The appointment will BE- gratifying to
his numerous friends in Tennessee.
