TIE STATE DKrAHr,Uxr.-Aocorilng to ;
writer in the Philsdelphis Pres, few changes
take place in the State Department. Every new
Secretary Is expected tobring with him his first
This is the reorganization Of each
new administration. Sometimes men who act
as stranslators' have been known to die or 60
away, but these arc the exceptions and not the
rule A man who has been only thirty years in
the service Is considered boy, and Is treated
accordingly by his seniors. In order to be elig-
ible to c!erkship in tho State Department, II
must be proven that the man Is exempt from
any qualifications Of lcaky nature. Every
new Secretary is given to understand from the
first that his crew arc picked men, safe as the
stoutest canvas in the strongest storm. News
paper men in search Of news arc not allowed
around the premises. There are six bureauI
in the department, one for Northern, another
for Southern Europe, while a third includes
South America and the various islands Of the
globe with which the department holds diplo-
matte relations. The other three are called
translnting, consular and territorial. Seventeen
Governments carry on correspondence with US
in Spanish. Holland and Turkey write in
French. .....
The official vote for Governor Of New Hamp-
shire shows the whole number to have been
67, $40. or these Gen. John Bcdel had 32.OOl
and Onslow stearns 35, 773, making majority

votes cast
Since the adjournment Of Congress the Presi-
dent has removed at least nine his own ap-
pointees, namely two consuls, one Indian agent
two collectors, one assessor, and three postmas-

The Cuban volunteers seem to retain the con-
troll Of things at Havana. They have removed
the Governors Of Cardenas and Colon, and pro-
nose to establish triumyiratc, consisting OF
prominent Spaniard,, to govern the Island till
the home government is settled. The Governor
Of Havana and Chief Justice have resigned.
Forty-hvc officials and bishops Of Cuba accom-
papy Gen. Dulcc to Spain. Gen. EsPinar is e1-
pcctcd to resign soon. A serious ARRAY between
the volunteers and regulars had taken place OF
Cardenas.
Mr.. Delano, the commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, says he will regard the failure to col
lect the whole tax due in any given district as
prima faeie evidence that the officers In charge
thereof are either inefficient, incompetent or dis
honest, and either objection he will consider and
treat as sufficient ground for suspension. Those
papers which criticise the administration and
its appointments so sharply ignore the fact that
never before was the revenue 30 closely collected
rs now.
BY the tenor Of our news from Cuba VIC judge
that complete anarchy reigns in that quarter
and that the Spanish power is dissolying. One
of the most significant facts Of the crisis is that
the Bishop of Havana, q cunning prelate, has
left the island along with Gen. Dulcc.
The municipal election in Washington yestcr-

temporary clerks will DO dismissed.
Gen. Sheridan sends dispatch to the War
Department which agrees with the dispatch OF
Hoag, in relation to the Indian
outrages in Kansas. Gen. Sheridan agrees
with Mr.. Hoag that the deprcdations are COM
mittcd by banis Of Chcyenncs and other Indians
from the North, who hope to escape with what
ever plumber they may secure, and to avoid de-
lection they have arranged their plans cunning
" SO as to make II appear that the outrascs are
committed by Southern Indians.
Speaking Of Southern politics, Col. Forney
SAYS ~ think the Republicans will carry Vir-
ginia on the 9th Of July. think VIC shall car
ry Alabama, North Carolina, South Caroliba,
Florida and Arkansas. Georgia Is hopeless'y
gone, unless Congress again intervenes."
The Boston Post is out for Col. Smart as the
Democratic candidate for Governor in this State.
It says the Republicans will split, Sand Col.
Smart, Gen. Isoynter, or some ether honest
Democrat can walk through to redeem the State
from It's load Of wretchedness. So mote II be-"

Mr.. Moscly. the late Democratic Treasurer
Of the State Of Connecticut, let out the State
funds to private individuals and did not account
for the interest. As the amount loaned was
$500, 900, the gentleman made pretty hand
