WASHINGTON, August 24.-There is no
intention at the Internal Revenue Office to
consolidate the collection districts OF Staun-
ton and Richmond. There is some agita-
ton about the eollectorship at Richmond,
and the President and Commissioner are
being. importuncd to have change made.
No determination has been reached. The
Department seems to be somewhat embar-
rassed on the subject Perhaps transfer
will be made by the collector who has been
retained in the consolidated Fifth and Sev-
cnth districts going to Richmond, and the
collector Of the Third district entering upon
duty in the newly made district.
In q day or two Judge Taft will issue
election instructiGSs to marshals through
out the country. The design, OF course, is
to affect only the South by the marshal's
being directed to call upon the military
whenever in his judgment it is necessary.
The War Department and the Department
Of Justice are working quietly together in
this business.
Judge Taft will start Tor Ohio on CAM
paign business as sor.n as matters are put i'll
