' A Fai.sk Alarm, and the Indirect Results.
Yesterday aftexuoon there wus a false alarm of

lighting a fire under the boilers of an establish
nantul Twenty-thud and Wood streets. There

turbance of any kind resulted until three com

abreast of each other, attempted to turn the

winrii it Bhinoi Anot'T. The first fruits of
the -Tenure ol Olllco" bill, as It is called.whlcli
passed both louses of Congress over the veto
on Saturday, were produced at 12 o'clock to-day.
The principal berths In the Custom House, as
Is well known, have for some months past been
tenanted by gentlemen who did not eujoy the
good will of the Senate to such an extent as to
induce the members of the latter to grant them
permission to remain therein. They therefore
all tall under the operat ion of the third section
of the "Tenure of Oflloe" bill, whiuti reads as
follows:
"The President shall lisve powor to fill nil vacan
cies w Inch may liaiiti during Hi" reces ot Hie Sen
aie, by rpusun nt tleatli or rcslirnution, tty grantlnir
com missions which sliuli exp'rentlha end of lln'ir

HloresHiil, dnrinK such noxl snsslun of the SeiiHte,
neb ollicn shall reiniiin In nhovniica without tny
salary, lees, or emoluments attached until the name
sliuli lie tilled by appointment therrto, hvund with too
a 'I vice and consent ol the annate, and during sunn
time all the powers nnri dntii s belongim; to such oltice
nlndl he exercised by such other olllcer as may law
fully exercise such duties unit puwon in case of a va
cancy In such iifllee,
"Section 4, That notlilnif In this act contained shall
he construed to extend of any olllco tlia duration ot
which Is limited by law.
This morning an unusual commotion was ob
served In the corridors of the Custom Houso.
Everybody confessed that he knew the bill
went into effect at noon, but at the same time,
with the modi charming simplicity, everybody
laimcd his utter ignorance of what this effect
would be. It was even rumored In quarters enti
tled to credit that the Secretary of the Trea
sury had' decided that, in accordance with the
terms of the bill as given above, the offices
would be entirely vacated at 12 o'clock, and
would necessarily have to bo closed to all at
and after that hour. The wording of the third
section, however, clearly provides that tuo
powers and duties of the various otllcers made
vacant by the opcrntlou of tho bill "shall ho
exercised by such other officer as may lawfully
exercise suoh duties and powers iu case of u
vacancy in such olllco."
The commission of Collector being still held
bv Kx-Governor William K. Johnston, he was.
therefore, the retiring olllcer at the head of the
establishment. S. Snyder Letdy, Deputy Col
lector, claimed the right of exerclsi lis the Col
lector's functious art interim, according to ttie
terms of the bill. K. Heed Meyer, Kstj.. hovv
ever, disputed his claim, having just beon
appointed Daputy Collector iu place of Mr.
Leltly, but not having as yet secured tlio
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. For
this reason Mr. Licldy holds to his position
and the privileges which pertain to it.
The Naval Olllcer, Joseph K. Flanagan, was
another of the retiring dignitaries. TheUoputy
Naval tOirieer, John K. Zellin, drops into his
chair by virtue of the bill. And In the same
involuntary fashion Jo Severns, Surveyor of
the l'ort. gives way to Thomas C. MacDowell,
the Deputy Surveyor.
The office of the Collector of Internal Revenue
for the First Congressional District came iu for
a share of the excitement of the day, A. li.
Sloauaker resigned his charge of the olllcu,
addressing a number of gentlemen there assem
bled as follows:
"The hour liavltmari'ivpd bywnlch mycommission ns
Collectnrof Internal Hovenueof the Kirst District of
Pennsylvania explres.il becomes my duly to ceiiie
my functions In that capacity. In this connection f
Ik l' leave to make know n my great inueiite.incss to
the gentlemen connected with this otlice,
the deputies and attucbes. for their kindness
and ollicial aid, and that whatever tin
success bo attributed me during this administra
tion nt tills oince.lt Is in part due to one and all ot'
those who were with me, and to them I return my
sincere and heartfelt thanks. And in whatever phase
of life I shall be placed to move. I shall be pleased to
extenuto them ever liiui courtesy atiugraterui tuauKS
which their services In the past Justly entitle lliem
to. To my Chief Deputy, Wujorl Magillon, I
owe much, who has ever helped me to preserve tne
Integrity of the revenue and my personal character.
And 1 here make known to ray friends tlmi mv
accounts during tbe administration or this olllcewill
be found correct. Had X been left my choice of
deputy. I should have appointed the Major my suc
cessor, liut Mich is tbe political situation of the
times that I did not attempt any appointment.
I, therefore, ranked all the commissions of
my deputies to expire ofier the office
hours on tbe 2d of March, aud to surrender to tbe ap
pointed Chief Deputy, Mr. George Kelley. betwenn
whom and myself there baa ever been a lasting f riend
ship, the duties of this olBce, returning my Bincere
tbuuks to all engaged with me. I accepted this oltice
In lieu ot personal services rendered at tbe Baltimore
Convention, which nominated Abraham Lincoln as
the Republican candidate, and to whom J was deeply
imlehted tor the kindness shown me. I aarnin return
lo the public my sincere thanks."
Air. ueorge lveuey, ou taaiuic ciiurga ui tnu
office, replied to Mr. Sloanaker's remarks,
saying: "It does not matter whether I differ
politically or not with my subordinates; I will
observe the same spirit which should charac
terize all who are thus made co-lanorers."
Mr. J. W. Frnzier. the Assessor or internal
Revenue of the First District, was confirmed by
the Senate a day or two ago; out mat body this
morning reconsidered its action in this case,
and rejected the nomination. Mr. Frazier there
fore goes out, anu is succeeuou oy ms uepuiy,
Mr. diaries ij. woiu.
In the Post oirice mere appears to oe nttie or
no excitement. At noon the commission of
Mr. Hall expired, and the principal duties or
the Office, for the time being, fell upon the
shoulders of the Chief Clerk, Mr. Bingham.
Frank McLaughlin, Ksq., who has been nomi
nated to tbe position of Postmaster, confidently
expected to pass the senatorial gauntlet this
morning, in whiohcase be would at onoe assume
control of the establishment.
In case or his confirmation, it is expected mat
there will be no material change in the office,
except as regards the position of Chief Clerk,
the present incumocni oi which was a candi
date against Mr, Mclxnighiin, and will there
fore be suffered to retire in the Tenure bill
style.
Funeral of Sionor Tkrelli Solemn and
Impobino Ceremonies. The funeral of the
late lamented Slgnor Perelli took place this
morning from his late residence in Cnesnut
Btreet. below Thirteenth, which was visited by
countless numbers of his former pupils, and
