POLITICAL.

The Internal Revenue Collectors for the
LIST and 5th New jersey Districts-active
radical Republicsns-have been removed.
The Chicago Republican calls attention
to the fact that the order releasing G. G.
CLAY does not bear the signature of the
Secretary of War, and argues that it did
not have his approval
The Judge of the United States Courts
at New Orleans has appointed Messrs. r.
H. shannon, Charles Claiborne and R. G..
Ker, Commissioners under the Civil
Rights law, which some persons seemed
to think would not be executed.
The Mobile (Ala.) Tribune thinks that
"the wretches who now constitute a
packed majority of the Rump Congress
will have to be driven from the legisla-
tive halls at the point Of the bayonet, be-
fore peace is restored"
Miss Dickinson has spoken many strik-
ing sentences, but non finer than this ex-
tract from her recent lecture at Pitts
burg: "The dark hand of the black
clings to the flag as it lifts he is raised !
As it falls, he falls with it.
The johnson party of Pennsylvania
have issued a cali for Z State Convection
to meet in Pittsburg in July next to NOM
mate candidates for State officers. This
will put three tickets in the field in that
State.
The appointment of General Sam. Cary
to the Second Collection District of Ohio,
is not only likely to remain unconirmed,
but the President having heard of h GER
tain temperance speech made at Delaware,
Ohio, by Cary, in which Andrew john
son was referred to as a habitual drunk
ard, is now inclined 10 withdraw the NOM
ination. Senators Sherman and Wade
have been apprised also hat emphatic
protests against the change are on the
way from Cincinnati. Sam. has sold
himself very cheap, and now it seems
probable that he won't get his pay.
The New York legislature, which has
recently adjourned, passed 929 bills. Dur
ing the session 1886 bills were introduced
into both houses. All the New York
city railroad bills were defeated. Anoth-
er bill to increase passenger fare on the
n. Y. Central road was vetoed by the
Governor.
The Raleigh, n. C., Progress disar-
proves of Mr.. Stanberry's appointment to
the Supreme Court on the ground that dit
is manifestly unjust to the South, perni-
cious in its effect, and damaging to nalion-
al sentiment, TO fill the highest judicial
tribunal with men who represent only
n geographical section of the Union
The Memphis Post says that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of a great johnson
meeting recently held at Lagrange, Ten
nessee, are the very two men who burned
and hung Andrew johnson ia efigy in
1861. It wonders if some Of the other
members of the meeting were not subscrib-
ers TO the $50, 900 fund to assassinate An
drew johnson when he was Governor of
Tennessee.
The editor of the Chambersburg ReDos-
TORY says ave have a private letter
from an intelligent Union man in West
moreland county, who says that Senator
Cowsn has made arrangements to remove
Mr.. J. NJ. Thompson, the Collector OF
that district, and give the place to Mr..
VIM. II. Markle, and Mr.. shryock, (edi-
tor of the Herald, must either continue to
do violence to his own convictions and
the principles of the party or lose his po-
sition. In case Mr.. Shryock should con-
clude to stand with the Union party, his
position will be offered to the editor of the
Indiana Register if be will dispose of his
principles at that rrle. The same writer
also gives Mr.. Cowan's slate for the de-
feat of Union members of the Legislature.
He hopes to secure the election of Demo
c,ats in Indiana and Westmoreland, Ly-
coming, Union and Snyder, Armstrong,
Juniata, Miflin and Huntington, Adams,
Perry and Franklin, Blair, Venango and
Warren, and in three Philadelphia dis
tricts. Mr.. Cowan should revise his
arithmetic, as, should he carry all he pro-
poses, he would leave the Union men in
a decided majority in a joint ballot in the
legislature
A. h. Mcclure, Esq, writing to the
Repository from Harrisburg, says: 1.-THE
programme of johnson, Cowan & Co, in
Pennsylvania, has a special plan chalked
ont 20 defeat Union members of Congress
in some six districts in the State. The
following districts are on their slate 10 be
thrown into the hands of the Copperheads.
We give the districts with the vote for
Congress in 1861:
