| helms of Northern district, was ap-
pointed, his four years ending about July l.,
and the official term Of Thomas c. Gre l.
shaw, Jr., collector Of Internal revenue,
having already expired or about to expire
this week.
The race for internal revenue collector
appears to be between DR.. Arnold and
David Freeman, and IL is claimed that as
Arnold is backed by the Sherman faction in
Georgia his defeat will follow. Those woo
claim to be well posted say that
Mr.. Freeman has been assured
the appointment, and that there
was but one obstacle in his way, which,
upon the advice of MS friends, he lost no
time in remOvi z. He is said to have been
largely interested in a distillsry at Griiin,
and for this reason would not have been
eligible 10 serve as a revenue officer, but be

the ate Col. Lpmar's deputy to the United
States marshalship Of this district, and
men in Office will be the governing rule of
the Administration, carefully excluding
those with leaning to Saerman.
Those who claim to be ell posted say
that Col. Atkins, when he first went TO
