AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Thought There Would Be No Present
Change in the Colleotorship.
Canal Arrivals and Departures-A
sonal News-To BE Retained.

One OF the foremost gentlemen engaged
IN the race for the collectorship here has
practically given up the contest for the
present, owing to belief that has Just
come upon him that Mr.. Cleveland will, no
doubt, allow the incumbent Mr.. johnson.
to hold the Office a full term and not re-
quest him to yacate now. which would
have been the date Of the expiration OF
Mr.. Dodge's term. On that gentleman's
death Mr.. johnson, II will be remembered.
was selected to fill the chair presumably
only for the balance OF the term.
A recent action Of Mr.. Cleveland's in re-
gard to similar Office. coupled with the
fact that Mr.. johnson has gone OF on a
pleasure trip, has led to this conclusion
about the probability Of no change being
made for a year. December, 1884 will be
the date OF the expiration of a regular
term.
Had Mr.. johnson any fear OF his early
oecapitation, ii is said, he would stay In
town every day and not go pleasuring.
