WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The Presi-
dent has appointed Judge l.. ID. Eras,
formally member of Congress from
Texas, Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Fourth District OF that Statei
and Colonel Miner of Ohio, Collector oil
Customs at Galveston.
The Times special says, intelligence
has been received here from General
Sheridan to the effect that the order re-
lieviug him from command reached
him on Saturday, and he would turn
over his command TO General Griffin as
soon as that officer could arrive from
Texas. The Union men. of New Or
leans express confident belief that
Congress will see that General Sheridan
returns to finish the work oil recon-
structiou he has SO ably began. Peti-
tious are already in circulation urging
this upon Congress.
1t is reported, tonight, that Hancock
has been granted thirty days delay in
proceeding TO New Orleans. on account
of the prevalence of yellow fever. II
is possible, therefore, that Sheridan
will, after all, come to Washington, as
originally instructed by Gen. Grant, as
the Presidents order does not apply 10
the department of Gen. Hancock until
relieved by Sheridan.
The yellow fever has assumed an
epidemic form in Galveston, Iudianola
and other Texan gulf ports, while In
New Orleans it is raging beyond prece-
dent since the beginning or the rebel
lion. In Galveston one day last week
| there were 500 cases, One-titth OF which
resu ted fatally, and in New Orleans
the disease had attacked persons oil
every grade of life, generally proving
fntal to the unacclimated, and has been
accompanied by the most malignant oil
fatal indications-the terrible Vomito.
The recent arrivals from that section

there do not record all OF the deaths, and
confirm the report that the majority oil
the norlherners who settled there dur
ing and since the war, are either dead
| sick, or tieeing north. The fact that
the municipal authorities removed by
Gen. Sheridan did not provide the
usual precautionary measures last
spring, is given by well informed per-
sons as the only reason for the extreme
violence OF the scourge this season, az
the city is in an extremely filthy cendi-
ton.
The Treasury disbursed. during
August, the large sum of SO OOO,O for
public service, mostly on account OF the
War and Interior Departments.

caused by the fact that the income tax
this year fell due in May and June,
while last year IL was collected chiefly

exceeded the receipts from the same
sources for the previous fiscal year.
