WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-The prediction
made in this correspondence on the day fol-
lowing the election that the work of filling
the offices with Democrats would now pro-
ceed more rapidly is already being verified.
The headsman's axe is very busy in Wash
ington Just now. Some of its work gets
into the papers, and some does not. The
president, now that he is not compelled to
give all his time listening to the pleadings of
office-seekers, is grinding out good many
appointments between his spells of work on
the message. Besides this in all the de-
partments the work is going forward with
rapidity. At the postoffice department the
a day. Some days the list runs away up to
perhaps $50, while, taking one day with
another, the average is SO high
as to make the number prob
ably LOCO week. These figures
relate to the fourth-class postmasters only.
Beside these there are constant changes be-
ing made in other branches of the postal
service. In other departments the remov-
ais are numerous. The fact is they have
become so common that they no longer ex-
cite femark and there can be now a couple
of thousand heads chopped OFF in week
without creating any particular excitement.
There are great many quiet changes be-
ing made throughout the country, too, as
well as in Washington. Large numbers OF
officers who have been appointed to posi-
tions in various parts of the country are
quietly exchanging Republicans for Demo-
Gratis. so that it is safe to assume that the
changes in Office are now running to about
Q. 600 a week, or at the rate of 100, 900 a
wear,

ments have occupied the frontier heights at
lsarbrod. They are bivouaced in deep
snow. Heavy guns have been mounted on
forts along the Danube river as far as
Radvjevatz to guard against the passage of
a Bulgarian fotilla. The Bulgarian and
Servian patrols on the frontier are daily ex-
changing shots. The Servians have crossed
the frontier and advanced three miles.
They made an Intellectual attempt to cap
ture party of twenty-three Bulgarian pa
troll guards. The Bulgarian outposts have
been reinforced and serious conflict is
feared unless the Servians retire. Prince

DIR. Strausky as to how he shall arrange
matters with the porte, in event of the con-
ference OF the powers proving abortive as
it requires the adoption of fresh measures.

pected to meet shortly in Philippopolis.

McClellan's Removal.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Speaking of
Gen. Mcclellan gentleman in this city,
who held high command in the army Of
the Potomac said the other day: 81
think Jeb Stewart had as much to do with
the generals removal from his command as
any one else. Directly after the battle of
Antietam Gen. Pleasanton had good force
of cavalry under his command. Mcclellan
divided it and sent Averill off with about
half the cavalry. Jeb Stewart was watch
ing his chance, and when our cavalry was
divided he knew it at once. He waited
until Averill was too far off to rejoin Pleas
anton in time, and then he made raid into
Pennsylvania. He struck Cham
bersburg, and, while scrupulOus-
ly respecting all other property,
he took care to burn house and factory
belonging TO Thad Stevens. Up to that
time Stevens had not meddled much with
military operations. He was rather dis
posed to let the president and secretary OF
war run things to suit themselves. but
when his property was singled out for de-
struction he got mad and he went to Mr..
Lincoln and said: Mr.. President, l think
if your general can't protect the people in
the rear of the army you had better get a
general who can.' Two or three weeks
after that Mcclellan was removed, and
while don't suppose that little piece of sar-
casm from Thad Stevens was the only rea-
son for it, 1 have always believed that lad
good deal to do with the action of the
president. Congress rebuilt Stevens house
and factory for him."

corpus case before the supreme court
brought from Cincinnati, in which is in
volved the constitutionality of the election
registry law, was argued to-day, Kattridge

hears of Cincinnati, asking peremptory
writ of mandamus to compel Clerk Dalton
of Hamilton county to issue to himself and
the three other Democratic candidates for

of service and answer Of the clerk was pre-
sented at the same time. The clerk adj
mitted the allegations in the petition, say
ing that he has been ready to issue the GER
tlficates since the canvass of votes was COM
pleted, but that he has been prevented from
doing so by the court proceedings at Gin
cinnati The court assumed jurisdiction
and will hear arguments at o'clock to-
morrow.

tion may require. Senator Stanford will

Decision of the Powers.

LONDON, Nov. 1O.-The ambassadors Of
the powers at Constantinople have reached
a unanimous decision recommending COM
plete autonomy of Bulgaria and Eastern
Roumelia. The resolution by which the
union of the two states was effected is recog-
nized as falt-accompli. The Russian de-
mand for the removal of Prince Alexander is
agreed to. The respective governments
have still to ratify their conclusions. Brit
ish opposition to the removal OF Alexander
was overcome by the offer of the vacant
throne to Prince Henry of Battenburg, Al
exanders younger brother, the husband Of
Princess Beatrice, and son-in-law of the
queen of Great Britain. Germany objects
to Prince Henry, and might consent to the
substitution Of Prince Louis, Alexander's
elder brother, now in the British navy, and
the latter is regarded as the probable choice
of the Roumelians.

No Telegra phic War Intended.


New YORK, Nov. 1O.-The report was
current in Wall street to-day that the West
ern Union Telegraph company was making
preparations for an onslaught on the Balti-
more & Ohio. 1t was stated that the for
mer company would soon announce five
cent rate to all points between Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.
President Green of the Western Union said
to-day that there were no present indica-
tions of war. AS far as he was concerned,
he had no intention Of making an attack
upon the rival company. MI. W. R. Som
erville, general press agent for the Western
Union, said, in substance:
I think that the talk about a telegraph
war originated in Wall street. There is
plenty of business for both our company and
the Baltimore & Ohio So you see this is not
the time to cut rates Or inaugurate war.
The dull season is at an end.
At the office of the Baltimore & Ohio
company, President Bates and the board of
managers had no fear that an offensive
movement was being planned by the West
ern Union. They did not anticipate war
