The New York correspondent Of the
Boston Iost speaks despondingly Of the
prospect for securing for Seymour and
Blair support from the Federal oliic- holders
in New York The writer says: The
patronage of the Administration there is iii
the hands of men who will use it for Grant"
Those who hold the offices, he says, call
themselves Conservatives, and take their
cue from "Seward and the New York
Times"

Cleretqad NerGl3.
Hon T.. A. Rollins Commissioner Of III
tcillal Revenue has resumed the discharge Of
the duties of his office. He had long inter
view with Secretary McCulloch, when The inn
portant question of the appointment OF Super
vi3ors under the new tax bill was freely discus
scd, and some appointments will be made in the
course of a few days. There is no probability
whatever of Mr.. Rollins retiring from his pres
ent position until after reass embiing Of Congress
and i'll this determination it is known that he
has the support Of all his friends, as well Us the
most prominent members of the Finance Com
mi;tees of Congress. The Washington star
says that g Mr. Rollins is peItec;lg willing ara
anxious to be relieved from the office of Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue on account Of
his health and the close attention that ii re-
tluiicS, anu Will undoubtedly, rive NJ lEt Of
lice upon the appointment and acceptance there
% by either Hon. Columbus DeI,ino or Gov
Cox, o. Ohio. Mr.. Rollins has been conncc-
ted with ti2 Internal Revcnuc Bureau, in va
lious capacities ei2ce its organization. and has
bestowed upon it his earnest and undivided at
tention, which accounts in a great measure for
the great opposition there is in InA3y quarters to
his resi- gnation.
Reliable advices from Mississippi ndi-
cate that the Democrats of the State intend
to pursue the policy adopted by the Demo
cratic Central Committee of Virginia and
unless Congress meets in September, will
attempt to hold an election for President
under their provisional constitution From
abe same source it is learned that when the
Democratic State Central Committee Of the
former State met the chairman, read an
elaborate address. arguing the unconstitu.e
tionaity of the Edmnnds Electoral College
bill, which was earnestly opposed bv the
whole committee. The chairman then Of
iered a, resolution to proceed at once to
choose Presidential electors. At this juno
ture it was suggested by some Of the more
moderate men present that'such step would
initiate against the chances of the success
of their movement, as it would provoke the
Radicals to such an extent as to insure Il
session of Congress in September. 4 COM
promise was then effected by the adoption of
the following resolution, which, it pro-
yides for the reassembing Of the committee
ON the day after the proposed reassembling
Of Congress, explains itself
ip.esolred, That this committee deem it in
expede Mt at this time to nominate an cleo
toral tickle. for the State, but will defer
future consid Grafton of that subject to an
adjourned meeting of this body to be held
in this chamber on Tuesday, 22d Of Septem-
Der next.
No doubt exists in the minds Of the best
informed politicians of both parties that the
committee will, if Congress does not con-
vene on the Dist proximo, meet and carry
into effect the policy prop osed by the chair
man.
