APPOINTMENT OF TAX CoIIpcrop

APPOINTMENT OF TAX CoLLECToRs.
The County Commissioners have made
their annual appointments OF Tax Collectors,
as will be seen by our advertising columns
been made in June of each year, but in order
to compliance with the requirements of the
new Code the time has been changed to
April. The old practice of rc-appointing
for the second year has, in this instance, been
departed from, not in consequence OF any
dissatisfaction with the last years Collectors.
but in pursuance of determination formed
when the last appointments were made, which
determination grew out of the numerous APP
plications for the Collectorships.

RuDENEss AND vuLeARrrY OF OFFICIALS.

RUDENEss AND vULGARITY OF OFFICIALS
Almost every day we have communicstlous
illustrating the rudeness Of officials, and urging
the necessity Of reform ID This particular. An
officer Of the Government is presumed TO be a
gentleman, but II, in the performance of his Of.
fetal duties, he establishes the fact that heis
quite the reverse he Is unfit for his position
and should be removed. We were led to these
remarks by reading note sent to us for pub
lication, written by highly respectable gen
man Of this city, who subscrbes himself IAN
Old Citizen of Washington" who thus speaks Of
one Of our United States hospitals:
Myself and three or four others have had
occasion lately to visit q sick and wounded
soldier at the United States hospital upon Ju.
dietary Square, an institution conducted In q
manner highly creditable TO the surgeons and
physicians in attendance generally, and Dr.
White, the principal, especially. There is,
however, great need Of reform in that institi
iion in one respect, or In some Of those in at
tendance. l mean in reference 10 their deport
nent to visitors, which Is arrogant, rude, us
sumptive, and imper inent, usually the manners
OF ill-bred people, dressed In little brief au
thority,' which they know not how properly I,
use. In this category, l think the assistant sur
gcon who was in charge there on Sunday morn

himself"
