APPOINTMENT OF COLORED PERSONS TO OFFICE.
Two colored men were appointed yesterday to positions in the Treasury Department, one of them, Merrimon Howard, formerly a sheriff of one of the counties in Mississippi, whose chief merit seems to consist in a claim that "he was obliged to leave the State during the shotgun campaign for fear of his life," to a messengership, and the other, Jos. Turner, formerly secretary of the Alabama State Senate, to a clerical office.
