FEDERAL REMOVAL AND A CoNFEDER-
ATE APPoINrMgNr.-It is reported that
Stephe Gage is removed from the Office Of
Revenue Collector, and Gov. Beebee ap-
pointed in his place. Ye ancient Demo-
Gratis Of Virginia City are very indignant at
the rumored selection; and they account
for il by the fact that Vice President Foster
Isl brother-in-law Of Beebee's. There
are also hying rumorS Of other changes IN
Federal offices in this State; but we can
not trace them 10 any certain source or
authentic statement. IL is asserted, how
ever, with great positiveness, that there IS
10 be a clean sweep Of the Mint appoint
ments so asserted by parties supposed
10 be posted on the situation n the
situations, singular and plural.) Or
course, this character OF tdings creates a
lively "stir' in political camps.

ings Of Federal removals received by the
