office IN this city, was to-day ap-
pointed post master in the place of
D. B. Anger, removed.
A Washington special correspon-
dent of a New York newspaper last
night telegraphed that Secretary
Folger had resigned, to take effect
December 18th, and that his resigna
tion had been aeceped. Secretary
Folger has been kept busy all day
denying the report, which grew out
of the fact that the lease of the
house he now occupies expires on
the date named, but it has been res
newed.
1t is stated authoritively that no
further removals in connection with
the Star Route cases, are contemplat
ed by the President, at present, at
least no further action of that char
acter is pending. This would seem
to indicate that there is no founda-
ton for the rumors in circulation
that Public Printer Rounds and
District Attorney Corkhill are to be
dismissed 1t is known, however,
that several officers of subordinate
grade, are to be dismissed. They
are not incumbents of offices filed
by the President by appointment.
It is believed that several such Off
cials are in the Postofice Departs
ment. The appointment of Tulloeh
to succeed d. b Anger, as postmas-
ter of Washington City, is only a
temporary designation. 1t is bellev
ed, that 1t will be made permanent.
No selection has been made in re-
gard to the vacancy in the district
marshal's Office. An appointment
to this Office will be made III a day
or two.
The offices made vacant by the
dismissal of Postmaster Parker and
MIR. Helm, foreman OF the Congress
sional Record, will be filed by the
city postmaster and pubic printer,
respectively.
Senator Logan had an interview
with the President at the White
House this afternoon, in connection,
1t is said, with the retention in office
of Public Printer Rounds.
District Attorney Corkhill had a
long interview with the Attorney
General this afternoon, and after
ward remarked to friend that he
was safe.
The President has appointed Col
gate Hoyt, of New York City, 9
government director of the Union
Pacific Railroad, vice Geo. E Spenc
er, dismissed. Mr.. Hoyt is well
known as member of the firm OF
Jas. B. Colgate & Co., bankers, OF
New York City.
Estimates of the appropriations
required for the fiscal year ending
June Both, 1854, have been partially
prepared for the use of the House
committee on appropriations. They
are complete SO tar as they refer to
civil, military and naval establish
ments, foreign intercourse, Indian
affairs, pensions, public works, postal
service and several of the mlscel-
laneous purposes. The estimates
for civil es stablishments aggregate

same purpose last year amounted to

prlated for the current fiscal year

repair of vessels, against 81, 750,085

machinery, against 81 900, 1876 appro-
propriated for this purpose last year.
The following is the letter of Col
Bliss to President Arthur, in regard
to the officials whose removal has
just been announced:
New YORK, November IL.
DEAR SrR-The second trial of the
case of the United States against
Brady and others is set for the first
week in December, and the govern
ment will then, I believe, be ready
with a large number of witnesses and
some new testimony. 1t seems to
me important to the case, and desira-
BILE IN any aspect, that before that
time, the atmosphere which sur
rounds the case officially should be
in some manner purified, that every
one may know what I know SO thor
oughly, that the prosecution is in
dead earnest, from the President
down. Te that end I call your attens
ton to certain facts, most of which
are unknown to you. | address yor
because the statements / desire te
call your attention to concerns per-
sons in several district departments
of the government. The Marsha
of the District of Columbia is un-
doubtedly in sympathy with the de-
PENDANTS and does not desire the
government to succeed. Without 60
ing into further details, he, during
the last trial, in public interview
indulged in gross abuse OF the
counsel for the United States
and In declarations that
the government had mo case" D. B
