Colonel J. 2. Brady took charge to-day
OF the office OF collector Of internal revenue
for this district. simultaneously Mr.. An
drew Dunn, an esteemed citizen, who had
been his chief clerk, but who was retained
under the brief regime OF Richards, was
superseded by Mr. &. A. McCout, Of Nor
folk. There is some feeling in the town on
the subject, though Mr.. McCout IS also
said 10 be Democrat, and comes we'll
recommended. II is believed that the Gre
dcntials and recommendations forwarded
to Washington by Mr.. Damn and his friends
had great deal to do with the confirmation
OF Colonel Brady. There are good many
reports in connection with the change,
which may OF may not be true. -.
Messrs. j. Il. Eye. b. j. Rogers, and j.
w. Brunei have withdrawn from the Eve-
ming Sun, and Mr.. B. w. Jones ceases to be
editor from-to day. The paper will be pub
lished by the remaining members Of the
original firm, and the services OF new edl-
tor have been, it is said. secured.
The City Council is in session this after
noon, but it is not believed that anything
very heartrcnding is taking place before it.
During December the total deaths in the
city amounted to 46-whiie, 81; colored,
%. There were also two stillborn.
One of the Baptist churches here reports
4 membership of more than two thousand.
Several Of Or people went over to-day
to attend the inauguration.
