From Washirl gtOn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
The receipts from internal revenue for the
week were $3,264 $40.
By order OF Secretary McCulloch, 60 clerks
were discharged to-day, embracing some from
nearly all the bureaus. About 80 of those dis
missed were ladies. There will be further re-
ductiCn in few days of at least so. These va
consequence of scarcity of work.
j. o. Shaunessy, formerly chief of the loan
branch at the Treasury Department, has been
appointed chief of the division of accounts, to
fill the vacancy ocasioned by the death of f.
McLane r5s.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
1t is understood that the President has as
signed Major Gen. Thomas to command the
fifth military district in place of Gen. Sheri-
dan, who has been assigned to the command
of the department of Missouri, from which
Gen. Hancock has been transferred to that of
the department of the Cumberland in place of
Gen. Thomas. 1t is expected that the order
carrying these assignments into effect will be
issued from the War Department early in Sep
TENDER. taEAu
There is no doubt that politicians now, as
they have heretofore ever since the accession
of Mr. johnson to the Presidency, have been
urging upon him to make changes in his
Cabinet, on the ground that thereby the
Administration would be strengthened
1t is equally well known that the present Cab
1net have more than once stated to the Presi-
dent that they will not for a moment embar-
rass him In making any changes in the Exec
utive Department that he may deem prop
er, but at present there is no prospect of such
change, the relations of the President and his
Cabinet being of the most courteous and friend
ly character.
