worth The question has been raised, whether thers
are now two Collectors, Mr. Barney having been
qualified by the OATH and Mr.. Schep still performing
the duties Of the Office. 1t is generally believed that
the new Collector will assume bis place on Monday,
but as he goes Washington next week, possibly hs
