ground out some moro appointments to-
day, and there was one Collector of In
ternsl Revenue on the list. He has not
reached Virginia and North Carolina. how
ever. and IL is O difficult matter 10 learn
just what day these appointments will be
forthcoming, but the talk is that 1t will
not DO many more days before he lets an
ANXIOUS public know who are to be the
collectors.
A number of changes were made to-day
in postmasters of the presidential class.

sentative Henderson and, of course. he re-
commended Mr.. Boyden, who is known to
be q most excellent man and q good Demo-
crat.
Tho papers In the Hanpton post-offce.
in Virginia. have been before the Presi-
dent for nearly three weeks and 1t cannot
be explained why he is so slow in making
the appointment. DR.. Shield has been re-
commended by Congressman Tyler.
NOTHING FOR THE SOUTH.
No results so far as the South is con-
cerned were learned of at the Treasury
Department to-day. The appointments
were few and the Secretary did not give
any idea as to when he would indulge In
another general slaughter Of Republicans,
but as a number of congressman called on
him through the day 1t is almost certain
that he will be heard from with telling
effect again during the present week.
Some Virginia and North Carolina cases
are about ready for action in this depart
ment.
No applications for places were filed at
the Treasury to-day from either Virginia
or North Carolina. The aspirants seem to
have oil gotten their papers on tle and
each State is largely represented IN the
big book in which the entries are made.
