WASHINGTON, May 5, 1875, SPRCULATIONS AMONG THE POLITICIANS OVER THE REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS— THE INDIANA LIST OF OFFICE-HOLDERS— PENNSYLVANIA AND THE THIRD TREM—THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR MORTON. The removal of J, W. Douglass, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, was a surprise to many, though Senators and Congressmen stated weeks ago hat he was to leave the office. The reason for the change, it 18 said, is not a political one, ‘and will be followed by removais of a number of important revenue officials jor cause. Mr. Dougiass has been for nearly ten years connected with the internal revenue, first as Col- lector of the Erie District, Pennsylvania, subse- quentiy as First Deputy Commissioner under Delano, and last a Commissioner, succveding General Pieasonton. Whatever may be the charges the politicians in Washington ask with much seriousness, “What does it mean? So rapid have been the selection of federal ofMfce-nolders from Indiana that the suspicion is generally entertained that the Presi- dent is lending bis strength to promote the of Senator Morton, The list now stands:—Ministers Foster at Me¥ico, Orth at Vienna and Consui General Hitt at Paris, the lat- ter for years Morton’s private secretary. Then there is Mr. Tyner, Second Assistant Postmaster interest General; Mr. Ray, Deputy Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue; John ©, New, Spinner’s successor, and finally exSenator Pratt, the new Commis- sioner, 1t18 not believed hero that all these im- portant appointments from Indiana are coinci- ental, Seuator Cameron, though courteously re- ceived at the Executive mansion to-day, did not leave the President satisfied with the sudden turn by which political pref- erences have been orought about, The Pennsylvania polivicians say openly that it is in revenge for their denouncing the third term and a determination on the part of the President to secure through Senator Morton’s management a renominstion, In the absence of charges and reasons for the removal of Douglass the report was current to- night that other changes will be made ina few days, and that (he list now embracing the names of Mullett, Spioner, Hartley and Dougiass will be more than doubled this month. A prominent democratic Congressman, Who was to-day discuss- ing the political situation, remarked that the ofice of Commissioner of Internal Revenue could be abolished, as well as many other offices in that bureau, but if Secretary Bristow continued his rotating machine there was no telling but would finally suggest to the President that his presence at meetings of the Cabinet was not necessary, a that he ought to resign for tl BADLANKERL, VANDERBILT AND YERDIGRIS THE | gooq of the party. ‘WINNERS, NaSAVILLE, Tenn., May 5, 1875.
