The Office Of Postmaster

An interesting question Of local interest
connected with the incoming administra-
ton is that of who shall be Postmaster for
the city of Nashville. The names of sew
eral gentlemen prominently connected with
the Radical party as il exists in this city,
are freely mentioned in connection with
this important office. We are not informed
whether or not the present worthy incum-
bent will be an applicant for re-sPpoint-
ment Not a single colored man, strange
to say, is & candidate for the Office.

The Maxwell Heuse-shan ii be OPP
ened. -
Col. John 0Terton has now nearly CONF
pleled the magnificent hotel structure in
this city, now and hereafter TO be known
as the Maxwell House. The vast expense
incurred in lis completion places it beyond
the present means of Mr.. Overton 10 furn-
ish the building, and we are gratifed TO
learn that an active and earnest effort is
now being made by some of our leading
citizens, to raise in this community the
means to put the necessary complement Of
furniture in the building, and fit il for inn
mediate tenancy and opening as first class
hotel. The subscriptions for this purpose
are not sought as gratuity but as loan
AS loan to be repaid with legal inter
eat. We also learn that Mr.. l.. A. Pratt,
formerly of the Spencer House, Gin
cinnaii, a gentleman every way CON-
petent to manage a hotel of the
kind. has effected arrangements with
Col. Overton, by which he will take
charge as manager and proprietor of the
Maxwell House, as soon as il is furnished.
All that now remains to be done is TO as
certain whether there are sufficient num-
Der of public-spirited citizens, with means
TO loan the amount necessary, say $4,000,
to furnish the house. Upon this latter point
there should be no hesitation. The money
is here, and those who have it will not
only realize the legal interest on the loan,
but will receive an additional enhancement
in the business activity and price of prop
erty in the city.
We understand the CITY viii be canvassed
by well-known gentlemen with this view
in the next few days, and we trust that
none who are able will decline TO respond
70 the call Literally.

| The New York Post OF the afternoon
Of the 9th inst, says:
The money market works easily at six
and seven per cent, the latter being the
exceptional rate. There is more than an
average inquiry for commercial paper, and
rates range from seven to nine per cent.
The principal purchasers are the country
banks. As rule the city banks and their
ability to take paper fully taxed by the
| demand for discounts from their regular
| customers.
Government bonds are strong, with a
| good demand on both Investment and
| speculative account. 1t is minated from
Washington that a measure which Wss
agtated year or more ago, and promptly
| defeated, has been again revived. We RI
/ fer to the proposition TO allow the CONVEX
sion of registered into coupon bonds. A
| little reflection will show now, as it did
then, that such measure is justified by no
| public necessity. The conversion of coupon
into registered as now authorized by Law, is
public necessity for the protection of
holders who are becoming Justly alarmed
at the frequent and increasing robberies of
coupon bonds The reverse Of the opera
ton has no such claim to Justify it. The
labor and expense Of the Treasury Depart
| ment, in converting and recovering at
the caprice of holders would also be large
and without any compromising advantage.
The bank statement, although showing
large decrease in legal tenders, still pre-
sents surplus of reserve, including specie
