THE New CoLLECToR.-Mr. Ham Shep
perd, the recently appointed collector of in
ternai revenue for this district, having given
bond and qualified, has gone to Staunton
where he will at once enter upon the duties
OF his Office. His bond is for 500, 600, and

rendering him the position of Deputy Collec-
tor Of the district composed of Alexandria,
Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun coun-
ties, with headquarters here, and the salary
attached to which is 81, 200 with $3.50 for
travelling expenses. Mr.. Cation has written
letter TO Mr. Shepherd respectfully de-
Ginning to accept the position rendered, IL is
understood on the ground that be was not
an applicant for that place, bat is for the
position of postmaster of this city. The
tender Of the position to Mr.. Cation and mis-
declaration have caused considerable talk on
the streets. 1t was known that be was not
an applicant for the place, and as Mr.. Sam l..
l.. Monroe was, and had strong backing,
it was thought that he would receive the
appointment The only other applicant
from this city for the position was Mr.. U.
w. Rock, but on Wednesday last he wrote
to Mr.. Shepperd withdrawing his applica-
ton. thus leaving the field, SO far as Alex
audria is concerned, free for Mr.. Monroe.
What will be the outcome Of the matter is
as uncertain as an election in Illinois.
