and deputy collectors will be retired With

of the same political faith of the Col

Tough. deputy collector, have been com
missioned for fifteen days, after which
time they will be given the grand
bounce" He also dismissed all the
field deputies except one. 1t seems the
protecting wing of the civil service does
not do much protecting in this ease A
new construction has been placed on the
law and the boys will have TO go. Two
new divisions have been created which
gives two more hungry fellows pie. The
following appointments were made yes

carrying out an agreement made here
when Pritchard was elected Senator.
But what. is asked, becomes of that
great and good law, the civil service,
