A Change i'm the French Legations
| Commodore TruNtOn Relieved Of his
| Command.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE French Le-
cation in this city is looking forward with
anxious interest to a sweeping change in its
,4asoad, which has been semi-Of6cially
limited at by the Government Of Tours. 1t
would appear, from what can be gathered
from the expression Of individual members
Of the diplomatic corps, that a strong demand
has been made by the Red Republican ele-
mcnt in France to remove :he officials of the
Imperial Government, and appoint in their
places men void of titles and belonging to the
middle or bourgeoise classes. This demand,
il is said, was made shortly after the invest
nrcnt of Paris, and has since been repeated
on several occasions.
The Secretary Of the Navy has telegraphed
an order to San Francisco removing COmmO-
dor Truxton from the command Of the SloOp
of War, Jamestown, for violating the coil Of
Honolulu, by sending armed forces ashore
10 COMPEL the American Consul, AdamsOn,
to place his flag at half mast in respect to
the death Of the Queen. Truxton is placed
on waiting orders.
The Secretary of State has sent strong
reprimand to Consul Adamson for allowing
a personal difficulty with members Of the
royal family to prevent him from showing
national respect on such an occasion. Con-
sui Adamsm will be relieved by Mr.. Mat
toon, the new appointed, in about month.
POintments BY the President.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1S-C Charges preferred
against Assessor Mark J. Leming, Fifth
District of Missouri, are, after a full investi-
cation, deemed insufficient to justify his re-
moval. The appointment of c. NJ. Walker
TO succeed him, will not, therefore, be made.
The President made the following ap-
pointments, to-day: Samuel d. Webster, Of
California, Agent for the Yancton Sioux In

kota, Agent for Indians Of the Upper Platte
Agency and MILESTONE; Henry Gregor, Of
Dakota. Agent for Ponca Indians in Dakota;
Henry T. Livingston, of Dakota, Agent for
the Upper Missouri Indians at Crow Greek.
The Eaglish Mission and General Cox
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Gencral Cox has
been named in connection with the English
mission, but it is ascertained that under no
circumstances would he accept this or any
other foreign appointment, If he could not
remain in the Cabinet and be supported by
the President in his endeavors to elevate the
Civil Service. There is no inclination to ac-
cept another appointment when he would be
required to act in accordance with the views
entertained by influential politicians whether
right or wrong.
Delan0 and the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Secretary Bout
well and Commissioner Delano, together had
an interview with the President to-day. AZ
ter it was over, Delano was asked about the
truth of the rumor that he would be ap-
pointed Secretary of the Interior. To which
question he presistently returned IN evasive
answer. The general impression is he will
succeed General Cox.
why Cox Leaves the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-The friends of |
Mr.. Cox says that he leaves the Cabinet be- |
cause OF the refusal of the President to sup
