WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The President to-
day appointed Judge David w. Henry, of
Terre Haute, collector of internal revenue
for the Seventh district of Indiana, vice
Joshua Jump, and Ambrose E. Nowlin. of
Warrensburg, collector for the Sixth dis
trict, vice w. A. Bracken. They will take
possession of their respective offices as soon
as they qualify. Their bonds, in the sum
of 100000 each, will be sent on from the
Treasury Department at once to be filled out
and returned for approval. With the COM
pletion of that formality the appointees will
assume the discharge of their official duties.
There was no surprise in either of the APP
pointments. Both had been decided on long
ago It is understood that Oliver Tichener.
of Princeton, will be Judge Henrys chief
deputy.
Another appointment made by the Presi-
dent to-day was that of George H. Bridge
man, of New York, to be minister to Bolivia.
The decision to appoint Captain Dorsey.
of Jeffersonville, steamboat Inspector for
the Sixth district, which was reached to-
day. is happy relief. Dorseys appointment
was foregone conclusion, but as long as
the matter was seemingly held open the

everybody with a supposed pull" The mat
ter was finally settled at the solicitation of
Senator Fairbanks.
Representative George w. Faris, of the
Terre Haute district, has been in the city for
several days settling his children in school.
In the meantime he has tried to serve his
constituents by looking after their interests.
While here he has been successful in securing
a consulship at Nogaes, Mex, for ]. F. Oar
NELL of Greencastle, whose appointment will
be announced in a few days, as the concur
renee of Senator Fairbanks has been OBJ
tanned. He has also had the postmaster at
Clinton, Ind, changed. This case has been
somewhat conspicuous in the Fifth Indiana
district. M. L. Casey editor of the Repub-
lican paper at Clinton, was recommended
for this place last spring by the congress-
man to succeed the present postmaster, who
is the editor of the Democratic paper at that
place. Recently MIR. Casey withdrew his
application for the office, and William H.
Bonner was appointed this week. 1t had
been the purpose to make no change in the
office until during November, when the term
of the present incumbent would expire, but
the congressman visited the town just before
coming to Washington TO consult with his
Republican friends and obtain their views as
to who should be recommended since the
withdrawal of Mr.. Casey. In that weeks
issue of the Democratic paper the editor
and postmaster gave a couple of columns
to general roast of the congressman and
all his friends on the subject of the post
office contest at that place. When copy
of this paper was presented to the depart
ment at Washington it did not take the adj
ministration long to conclude that change
of postmasters at Clinton was very de-
sirable thing to make and it was promptly
effected.
Fred T. Livingston, of Indiana, was to-
day reinstated as transcriber in the General
Land Office, and John M. Brown, another
Indianian, was promoted from $500 to $1,000
in the Postotfice Department.
Representative Lands has recommended
the appointment of John Erie for postmaster
at Rossville, Clinton county. The indorse-
ment reached the department to-day.
