The Democrats who reside here and who Qre now
| on a visit 10 Washington, are anxousy looking for
The removal Of the large number OF Republicans and
knOw.SOthiugs known 10 &c in Office here.
The Star OF this city contained queer story the
other day about letter sent by Mr.. Spence, our Min
lister CopsreutiIop!eo the President, reslgmng lila
position in favor Of Hon. Henry May, of Baltimore,
who ia DESTROYS of going abroad for the improvement
OF his failing health. With all due respect TO MIR.
Muy who is an accomplished and very clever gen.
emap nus; say that the idea oil MIR. Spence naming
his successor il simply ridiculous, and if true. cannot
have any weight sin: the President. James NJ Buc
hana,i, of Baltimore, il strongly recommended as Mr.
Speuces successor. No hlaa AZ Maryland is more
deserving than this gentleman ID hdctiO TO bis be-
ing an original friend OF the President, to hGa for
years bativd nobly for Democracy. During the late
campaign no man in The land did more effective ser.
vice tkcn he did. AT all times he was ready with
voice and pE.se to aid the Democratic cause. If
Maryland is 10 hac 'jrst class foreign appointment
bis chances are good.
Twas told by gentleman WAC called on the Pre-
sideut the other day, that while he Ya3 9th him,
friend came in aud proved TO him that perssa he
was about to appoint to q Ane position vas Black
Republican. Mr.. Buchanan, OH being convinced of
this fact, his pen Rcfots ths Individual and said
"he would ss leave appoint rattle snake as Re
publican to Office"
appointed Secretary of the Territory Of Utah.
John c. O'Neal of Carbon county, Pennsylvania,
HIS been appointed Indian Superintendent Of Utah.
The friends Of the different candidates for the De-
cratic 1oal.ipn for the offices of the next House of
Representative, hre beginning to canvass their
csims. During tee cast week several OF the aspi'
rants were in the city-among them were Hon. JAS.
L. Orr, who is up for Speaker, and Dr. Allen, of Hi
nos, and A. D. BANKS, of your State, wo are spoken
of for Clerk Mr.. Banks friends seem to think he is
entitled to the nomination. from the fact of his allow
ing his to be used before the last House, when
there was the most remote chance for All election
the Clsys, l think MIR. Banks will be- the man.
