FROM WASHINGTON.
Appointments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The President
has appointed Judge L. u. Eras, formerly
a Member of Congress from Texas, Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue for the Fourth
District of that State, and Col. Miner, of
Ohio, Collector of Customs at Galveston.
Affairs at New Orleans. -
New YORK, Sept. 3-The Times special
says: Intelligence has been received here
from Gen. Sheridan to the effect that the
order relieving him from command reache d
him Saturday and he would turn over his
command to Gen. Griffin as soon as that off,
Ger could arrive from Texas. The Union men
OF New Orleans express a confident belief
that Congress will see that Gen. Sheridan
returns to finish the work of reconstruct
ion he has so ably begun. Petitions are
already in circulation urging this upon
Congress.
1t is reported tonight that Hancock has
been granted thirty days delay in proceed
ing to New Orleans, on account of the
prevalence of yellow fever. 1t is possible,
therefore, that Sheridan may after all
come to Washington, as originally in
structed by Gen. Grant, as the Presidents
order does not authorize the departure of
Gen. Hancock until relieved by Sheridan.
Kayages of elbow Fever nthe south
The yellow fever has assumed an epidem-
ic form in Galveston, Indianola and other
Texan gulf ports, while in New Orleans it
is raging beyond precedent. since or dur
ing the war. In Galveston, only last week,
there were 800 cases, one-fifth of which re-
suited fatally; and in. New Orleans the dis
ease had attacked persons of every grade of
lane, generally proving fatal to the unac-
climated. and has been accompanied by the
most malignant indications of the terrible
vomit. Recent arrivals fl ON that section
have information that newspapers there do
not record all of the deaths, and confirms
the report that majority of the Northern
ers who settled there during and since the
war are either dead, sick or fleeing North.
The fact that the municipal authorities
removed by Sheridan did not provide the
usual precautionary measures last sprin g
is given by we'll informed persons as the
only reason for the extreme violence of the
scourge this season, as the city is in an eX-
tremely filthy condition.
Treasury Disbursements.
The Treasury disbursements, during
August, the large sum of $26, 6,000O00, for
the public service, mostly on accounts of
the War and Interior Departments.
Commissioner Rollins.
Commissioner Rollins has gone north for
two weeks. ALI efforts for his removal will
encounter resolute opposition from the
Secretary of the Treasury, who declares
there is no possible ground on which
charges against Mr.. Rollins can be based
Proposed Removals.
General Pope cannot be considered safe
in his position. The President gives out
that he will surely remove him. 1t is CIV
ed out that Mr.. Buckley is now engaged in
preparing reports on Sickles. These Re.
ports will be submitted to the Cabinet be-
fore being made public.
AppreheusfOns OF Difficulty in Balti-
more.
Prominent citizens from Baltimore state
great apprehensions exist among the
I Cnionists in that city in regard to the COM
ing celebration of the battle of North
Point which is to take place in that city
on the 9Th inst. The militia of Maryland,
since Swans apostacy. is composed mostly
of returned rebel soldiers. Their number
is put down at 10000.
Those regiments made up in Baltimore
and adjacent counties are to take part In
the coming celebration. So also are sew
eral independent regiments, composed
mostly of colored men W no served in the
Union army during the rebellion. A con-
fiict is anticipated. These Baltimoreans
state that the rebel element in Maryland,
and especially in Baltimore, is very great,
and they mean mischief it they can make
it. They go far as to express willingness
to obey a summons from johnson to dis
perse Congress.
