chief clerk in his Office, who has offered the place
he has vacated to Mr. w. J. Brown, late M. G.
from Indiana /; and learn that that gentleman has
consented to serve his country for the moderate
recompense of $4,000 per annum, although it was
confidently reported that he would reject the

pecting something much better.


Mr. w. b. Lewis auditor in the War Depart

Department, is also SAID TO haYe6een removed, but
no one is named as having been appointed TO his

| Mr.. Ellsworth, commissioner of patents is also

Mr. holland has been removed from the post of
commissioner OF public buildings, and Mr.. Sykes,
late M. G.. from New Jersey, has been appointed

to do, and thereby rlsd the said democrats consi-
derably, if no4more.

there's blow at the top Of the list, next down at

in the Post Office Department for upwards OF forty
years, having come with the department from Phi
adephia, was promoted downward, being removed
to an inferior station to make way for some other
one for messenger, at $l2 per week. There is ano-
ther coored man in the War Department, who has
always been wise enough to keep an inferior de-
parlment, though several of the Secretaries have
| wished TO make him chief messenger. He, how
ever refused all OF them fog he said, if he were to

he preferred to remain where they would not think
of disturbing him. A wise fellow that.


The female influence system, to which alluded

and all the varlousheads of departments must make
up their minds to see 1t carried out, and must nerve
themselves to meet the entreaties OF women
well as men: understand that Mr.. Walker, the
Secretary of the Treasury, has been attacked by
some of the fair sex, on behalf of occupants of Of
fees; and the credit of his gallantry and south
ern chvalry, have to record that in instance,
at least he yielded to the prayer of the petitioners
two or three young and pretty ladies. What
could the man do-a southerner too-with all their

The "organship'' is still in doubt. Many pe1scns
think that Blair will not sci out retire, but that

that the Globe shall be made ''the organ, "Awth
himself editor, or else threaten the administra-
ton with It's opposition, with all the money power
which they have made out Of the Congressional
printing. Others think that Blair must either re
tire, or else new organ be started, and they ar
que that it need but be known through the country
that offers, and ''hbera' offers had been made T.
Blair to purchase him out, and that he had refused,
aud that after he had made his fortune out of the
iavors OF the democratic party, to insure the de,

Tom Benton ever exercised possessed, and that
on the first indication of their actiously opposing
