clerk of the Treasury Department, and
during the Presidential campaign, Sec
of the National Republican Committee,
is pressed for Assistant Sec. of the Treas

Richardson resigning to accept the State
Supreme Judgeship offered him in Mass
l have never seen Mr.. Tullock, but am
fayorably impressed by what I hear Of
him in his new position, and think with his
friends, he would make a live, efficient,
desirable Asst Sec.
The latest report is that Mr.. Richard
son has concluded to decline the Judge
ship, and so will remain Asst Sec. Of the
Treasury. Doubtful. He has too much
good sense for that, | think.
The rumors that Secretaries Fish and
Borie, and Atty. Gen. Hoar intended to
resign, are contra icted with more crcdi-
bility than they are affirmed.
Patrick II. Jones, late Register of N.
Y. city, has been appointed Postmaster
there, vice Kelley, nominated but not con-
irmed by the Senate.
Gen. Parker, the Indian who has just
been appointed Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, entered upon his duties Monday.
He had calls upon him for places The first
day. | feel prouder of the Republic for
for the appointment of an Indian or negro
to responsible position in the Govern
ment. How broad it is becoming when
it can thus take in all the races of the
world Don't mistake me- am not in
sensible to differences of condition of diff.
ercnt races and classes. | wish the in
'erior were less so. But what | rejoice
1t is this, that the superior individual is
10 longer stupidity declared by Govern
nent and us all to be inferior, because in
some one particular, which has nothing
whatever to do in determining what he
is, he can be classed with a
people Of an average inleriority of char
.cter or condition.

A number of Senators and Rcprenta.
ives have had an interview with the Sec.
If State, to ascertain what action the ad-
intended to take in making

,ral appointments. The Secretary replied
hat no appointments would be made except
where vacancies occurred, until after the
,losc of the present fiscal year, which
S the 30th of June. He states that his
purpose in postponing further change I'M
il that time was to give the Ministers and
Jonsuls time to close up their quarterly
accounts.
Mr.. Hale having rendered his resigna-
ion of the Spanish Mission at the request
# the Administration, and the same hav-
ng been received at the State Department,
