WASHINGTON.

Washington, October "a Secretary Bris-
tow telegraphed to-day to Ex-Governor
Pease of Texas, rendering him the office of
collector at Galveston,
The Postmaster General has telegraphed to
Mr.. Lobens at Galveston offering him the
postmastership at that place.
Secretary Bristow will have consultation
with commissioner Douglas on Monday with
reference to contemplated changes in Inter
nal Revenue service in Texas. Both the
post office and treasury department has had
special agents for some time in that State in
vestigating the condition of affairs as admin
istered by the officers. These agents have
also in compliance with instructions, sent the
lists of names of prominent citizens who in
their judgment would properly serve the
government interests and make suitable off,
GERS, and it is from these lists that future APP
pointments will be made.
Ex-Governor Pease has not been regarded
a political supporter of this administration,
having voted for Greeley at the last presiden-
tial election, but this fact Secretary Brstow
declares is In no way an excuse for disfavor,
as his views regarding political matters arise
from the manner in which government af-
fairs were administered in his State.
The following are the Posl-o ffce changes
fer the week:
Post Masters appointed
Augustine S. Fletcher, Burnham Village,
Waldo Co., Me.
Hiram Paul, Westfeld, Carroll County,
II. ii.
James l.. Easton, North Reading, Mass.
Intimate friends Of the President say that
he has made no allusion whatever concerning
the question of third term, nor is it know n
that any one has mentioned the subject to
him in conversation, and further he has in no
way expressed himself in such a manner as
to incline them to think that he has any
thought in that direction.

The Hallowell Masquerade.

The first grand Masquerade Ball of the
season, was given at Wilson Hall on the night
of the 22nd inst, and it proved an entire sue
cess, for not only did the maskers seem to
enjoy themselves, but the large number of
spectators, who thronged the galleries, were
most agreeably entertained by the ever chang
ing scene below, and 1t was for long time
after intermission before there was any per-
ceptible diminution in their numbers.
The festivities Of the evening opened at
s 80 Z. NJ, according to the arrangements,
by the managers, announcing in turn, as they
advanced into the hall, the name of the char
acter assumed by each of the maskers, and
when at . :l5 the music struck up the grand
march, the floor was comfortably filled, and the
carnival of fun commenced, each one SEEM
ing to rival the other in the perfection of their
several characteriZations, and melange con-
tinued throughout the whole dance, the most
curious commingling of nationalities, creeds
and customs; the naughty cavalier waiting
assiduously upon the humble Indian girl, and
Sambo, laughing and chatting with the refined
Highland miss, harlequin curbing his restless
antics only Tor moment, to firt with the
peerless Zenobia, and his Satanic majesty with
condescendng grace, softly impartng addi-
tonal wisdom to the gifted goddess Minerva,
were but few of the many curious combina-
tions constantly changing under the gaze of
the admiring spectator.
Among the most noticeable of the many
rich and elegant costumes may be mentioned
that Of Minerva, Miss Nettie BIN; the Star
If the night, Mrs. l. H-s, a very rich black
satin, heavily trimmed with silver; the Pearl
of Savoy, Miss Hattie B-n; the Highland
girl, Miss Susie O'B-n; the Tissue Paper
girl, Miss Augusta CIT; the Belle of the
Ball, Miss Aug. An; the School Girl
was admirably unprecedented by Mrs. VIM.
H-n, Jr.; Mr.. G. E. P-s, as the Mexican
Ranchero, had many admirers, and with Mr.
C. ID. Clark as the English Drum Major, pre-
sented the richest costumes Of the evening;
the Spanish Cavalier, Mr.. d. b. lie; the
Song and dance man, Mr.. Geo. C-k; the
Prussian Hussar, Mr.. Geo. BIT; the Miser,
Mr.. David B-r; the Admiral's Servant, Mr..
Ed. VS.; the Prince Imperial Mr.. M. LII |;
the Grand Duke, Mr.. Joseph Ely; the
knight of the Silver Cross, Mr.. Joe. We !;
the Southern KuKlux by the McL-n Bros. !;
and the jolly Butcher who pleased all with his
unfortunate efforts to dispose of his pumpkins,
was finely impersonated by Mr.. w. M. W-d
while the devil, Mr.. G. S. in, outdid even
himself in the unequalled manner in which he
raised himself; the gods of the Gallery were
finely impersonated by Messrs. Re, S-n,
and the Pc brothers, while the ghosts,
clowns, soldiers, peasants, flower girls, &C.,
&C., all contributed to make the occasion
most enjoyable.
The dance continued through the small
hours, and The sun was almost ready to put
in an appearance, when the tired and pleased
participants departed for their homes, and
one and all thanked the managers for giving
them such night filled with pleasurable
memories.
