Special Agents Plummer and Donaldson
to Collector John T. McGraw. Several
days, including ali Of yesterday Sunday,
have been occupied in closing up the ac-
counts, and counting and verifying the
stamps, which were called in from all
parts of the State. The young Collector
assumed the duties Of his office this morn

long enough for him TO swear in the fol-
lowing changes in the present force: Eu-
gene O. JeAerys, who, IL viii be'remem;

Mr.. o, G. scohell, chief deputy under

office for the purpose OF closing up the
business of the old Office, which will oc-

no CLEAN SWEEP YET.
Your correspondent found, on inquiry
at the Collectors Office, that alr. McGraw
has asked the principal deputies to re-
qualify, and that no changes in these
places will be made until after the proper
persons can be selected,
A clean sweep Of Republicans, at present
may, therefore, not be looked for. It
seems to be the intention OF the Collector
to run his Office on business principles,
and the fact that he Is retaining many ex-
perienfea men who are Republicans may
probably be taken as an evidence OF this
fact.
o. s. Mckinney, division deputy, has
been detailed temporarily to take charge
