Rotation In O0ce...The g lns - and
ssOutOSs Of Aklnns0ota. .

1t has been reported at various times
within q month past that Mr.. LlHoo1a had
made up his mind to make very few
changes in the Offices in his gift, and none
except for good and sufficient reasons.
Uncle ABRAHAM was doubtless sincerely
opposed to extensive removals, but evil
dence is constantly accumulating that he
has been compelled to yield to the pressure
that has been brought to bear upon him,
and that he has given his assent to the de-
mands Of members of Congress for the
decapitation of all such official heads as
have dared to wag in opposition to their
interests. ..
We learn from our private Washington
correspondence some items in regard to
contemplated changes in this State that
are interesting, and We believe will be
found substantially correct.
It has been agreed that CLARK W.
THOMPSON, Superintendent of Indian A.
fairs, shall retain his position for the pres
ent, the excuse being that the Office will be
abolished at the next session of Congress.
It is understood that Bluff A1EoK and DAN
NORTON have "seen light upon OLARK's
qualifications, and now consider him Z" the
right man in the right place"
HENRY L. Moss, United States District
Attorney, and Mr.. EATON, United States
Marshal, will also be retained. There was
quite pressure for the removal of the
latter, several barrels of "sweat having
been sent on to Washington to drown him
out, but without effect.
Deacon WnLFoRD W. WILSON, Assist
ant Assessor of Internal Revenue, Gusts
81. o. G. MoRR1soN, the Assessor, who
gave him his position.
Mr.. F. M. SrowEI1, representative in
the last Legislature from Anoka, will have
the appointment of Collector of Internal
Revenue, in place of Mr.. THOMAS G.
JONES, the present incumbent of the Office.
DR.. J. II. STEWART, Mayor of st. Paul,
Surgeon of the Board of Enrolment, Dr.
rector of the Superior Railroad and Sec
ond National Bank, Vice President of the
Home Insurance Company, and enjoying a
very lucrative medical practice, is to have
the Post Office, in place of Mr.. CHARLES
NICHOLS.
DAVID BLAKELRY, Secretary of State,
will be Collector of Internal Revenue in
the First District, in place of Mr.. J. N.
HALL, of Mankato. ,
Hon. LEVI Murine, State Senator from
Rice county, will displace W. D. WASH.
BURN, Esq, as Surveyor General.
Mr.. W. B. AIToHEIL, editor of the st.
Cloud Democrat, and Mr.. Il. G. WAIT will
run the St. Cloud Land Office, in place of
Messrs MCCLURE and GILMAN. The
MITCHELL family is quite successful in OBJ
tanning Office.
The head of GEORGE W. MOORE, Collec-
tor of st. Paul is supposed to be safe, al
though it is reported that A. R. KIEFER,
and one Or two others are applicants for
the Office.
With regard to Minneapolis, it is stated
that Bill KING will succeed in ousting his
brother DANA E. KING from the Land Of
FOE, and that @. D. DAVIDSON, and BEN.
BAKER will probably have the two posi-
tons in the Office. 1t is understood that
DoNNELLY has changed the programme
with regard to the Post Office, giving BA-
KER the position in the Land Office and
the Pos Office totlDAN. BAssErr, who has
been for some time past in Washington,
forming one Of J. DIS privy council, and
urging his personal claims to the Post Of
fee with great pertinacity.
The Winona Post Office is "bone of
contention " between Mr.. NORTON and Mr..
WINDOW. Mr.. NORTON, according to the
rule, has the right of nomination, and be
sent in the name of D. SINCLAIR, editor of
the Winona Republican. Mr.. WINDOW
went to the President with an indig-
nant protest. He conceded that Mr..
NORTON should have the right to nom.
mate, but demanded that no personal ene-
my of bis own should have the appoint
ment, stating that he should regard it as
an insult if Mr.. SNoLA1R's name was sent
inland so the matter stood at last adj
vices.
The above was the &c slate" at the date
of our last letter, but our correspondent
states that this programme may not be ex-
ecuted at once, as it was understood that
Secretary BLAKELEY, backed with the re-
commentator of the whole delegation of
the State, found Secretary MoCuuoUeu
unwilling to displace Mr.. HALL at present,
nnon which the tall and commandino form,
