THERE WAS A RUMOR generally cireula to-day in the Treasury department that Mr. Johnson, commissioner of customs, had been removed. This arose probably from the fact that early this morning Secretary Bristow bad an interview with President Grant, and upon his return to the Treasury, at once sent for Mr. Jolinson and bad an extendel confer- ence with him. The wherefore of this sum- mons, of co was variously speculated upon, and the quidnunes ha ohnson re- moved and a successor named even before the conference terminated. It was developed finaliy that the summons for Mr. J. by the Secretary was on purely official business, and without any reference to his immediate or } rospective removal.
