| connected with this administration, my most
grateful thanks for the uniform kindness and
courtesy which have always received at your
hands, for those years and down to the present
moment of my official life. l shall carry
with me none but the kindest and most
pleasant recollections of the pleasant and
yer my official connection. To you, General
Hubbard, to whom the people have confded
this trust, now surrender the executive de-
partment of this state. You have long been q
resident of this state, have participated in
moulding it's political character, and Ibespeak
for you the same generous courtesies which
have always been extended to me. I sincerely
hope and believe that prosperity will attend
you so long as you shall remain chief execu-
tive of this great commonwealth.
Upon the conclusion of Gov. Pillsbury's re-

ately thereafter to Gen. Baker, as railroad COM
missioner, StateTreasurer Kittelson, Associate

thy, fired the customary salute, the battery
being placed on the open space in front of the

Fourth judicial district, from which he
energies to the supreme court yet requiring
his attention. Auditor elect Braden, though
subscribing to the oath of office Yesterday,
will not officially qualify by filing his official
bond for several days, the delay being for the
purpose Of allowing Auditor Whitcomb to
close some business connected with the office

his administration, and delayed by
the large amount of extra work imposed upon
the office by the bond settlement, etc. Rail-
road Commissioner Marshall has his office in

The other changes about the capitol are
merely those in subordinate positions, and 1t
is understood the changes will be by no means
sweeping. AS before announced. Mr.. Pennock
Pussy, private secretary to Gov.
Pillsbury, during the six years
of his administration, retlres with
his chief, and will, as he told the re-
porter, engage in doing just as little of any
thing as possible for the present. He will in
short time go east for visit, and be absent
until MAY. Gen. Jennison will occupy Mr..
Pusey's chair with Gov. Hubbard, a position
in which he has had previous experience, hav-
first served under Gov. Ramsey from January
2, 1860, to June, 1861, and again after the war
for three years with Gov. Marshall.
Frank Carlton, executive clerk to Gov.
also retires to engage in the prac-
tice of law at Minneapolis. His
successor has not yet developed. To Messrs
Pussy and Carlton, the GLOBE in bidding them
good bye, officially desires to return thanks
for courtesies extended. AS before stated by
the GLOBE it is understood that Auditor Bra.

and the present clerical force of the Office, at
least for the present. Capt. Berger, late men,
