AFFAIRS At Tine SUB-TntASuaY.

Contrary to all expectation Senator Folger, the
new Assistant Treasurer, has not made any removals
or appointments, and probably Will not, at least
for political reasons. He rightly considers that
it is much better to bear the opportunities Of
hungry on1ce-seekers and the complaints OF
their political friends than to remove CON-
petent clerks and replace them by Others less
aba to discharge the important duties of the depart
ment IL IL quite possible, however, that some
changes may be made when the affairs OF the Trea-
sury are thoroughly overhauled and the Senator lis
enabled to soc what improvements necessary for
the more easy working Of the financial machine
under MS control. The work OF counting the money
in the vaults OF the Sub-Treasury Is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. over $39,0o0,000 has
already been counted and 1t s expected that all will
be finished by wednesday. The magnitude Of the
work may be inferred from the fact that since the
arrival Of the Treasury employees IRON Washington
who were specially detailed for the work ten mil
lions OF coin per day has been the average count.
