THAT APPoINTNENT.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Joaracl Of Commerce
says:
''Judge j. II. Embry, of Kentucky, was last
week appointed Minister to Ecuador. As soon
as the appointment became known, certain poll
ticians set to work to stop it. After the COM
mission was sent, a note was addressed to Judge
Embry, in which ii was limited that the Presi-
dent would like to recall the appointment and
that there was good opening for a resignation
i'm his case, with little doubt of its acceptance.
He resigned, and +. Rumsey Wing, Esq, of
Kentucky, is already his successor"

The WORK of printing the national currency
has not been fully resumed in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing at the Treasury De-
partment on account of the small supply daily
received from the bank note printing companies
in New York. The recent investigations info
the affairs of these companies has caused a de-
crease in the amount received each day, but it
is thought that by the latter part of this week
full supply will be ready, when the work will be
resumed here and the usual amount turned over
to Treasurer Spinner daily.

On DIT-That the troubles in St. Johns
Church will eventuate in the withdrawal of those
espousing the cause of the rector, Mr.. Lewis,
and in the building of a new church for him,
which will be gathering point for Episcopa-
lians throughout the city who entertain what
are familiarly called high church views 1t was
noticed that Mr.. Lewis did not oficiate at st.
Johns either on Thanksgiving day or yesterday
Moreover, in view of the questions Of veracity
at issue between him and the vestry it is thought
his connection with the parish cannot be much
longer continued.

SENATE CoMNITrEEs.-Ac caucus of Senators
viii be held as soon as Congress assemblies, it is
said, and a revision of the Senate committees
will be discussed. 1t is probable that Mr.. Nor
rill, Of Maine, who succeeds Mr.. Fessenden, will
fill his place on the Committee on Appropria-
tons, for the reasons that during the previous
term he was the chairman Of that committee,
and that he was succeeded as such by Mr.. Fes-
sender, when the formers term expired. Sena-
tor Cragin, of N. H., will probably succeed Mr..
Grimes on the Naval Committee, resigning his
position on the Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses. Senator Anthony is second on the COM
mittee, but he already holds one important
craftsmanship, that Of the Printing Committee.
Mr.. PIEIREPoNr's INTERVIEW WITH THE
PREsIDENT.-There is some speculation as 20
the object of District Attorney Pierrepont's s
interview with President Grant on Saturday.
Mr.. Pierrepoint came here from New York, it Is
said, in obedience to a summons from Presiden,
Grant. He had long interview with the Presi-
dent on Saturday, as stated in The STAR, and
during this week some important developments
are expected. Some declare Pierrcpont's sud-
den trip here and equally sudden departure
for he left again for New York Saturday night
are i'm relation to certain changes and frauds in
the New York Federal Offices; while others hold
that it is all about Cuba that the Administration
Is resolved to act at last, and that Pierrepont
has been instructed in advance how to act
Pierrepont does not deny that Cuba had some-
thing to do with his visit here.

CHANGES IN THE ENGINEER COgPs.-A recent
order changing the stations and duties of officers
Of the Engineer Corps directs Lieut.-Col. j. d.
kurtz to relieve Col. j. ii. Simpson and Breyct
Brig General n. Michler OF the charge of
works for the defense Of Baltimore and WASH
lngton. This does not displace General Michler
from his present assignment as Engineer i'm
charge Of the Public Buildings and Grounds in
the District Of Columbia, he having been IN
charge of the works and appliances for the de-
fense OF Washington in addition TO his duties as
Commissioner OF Public Buildings. He was 80
overburdened with duties that he found it inn
possible to attend to the engineers work and AZ
the same time give the public buildings and
grounds that inspection they need; anj it is with
the view of increasing this field of usefulness
that lie has been relieved Of the care of the de-
fensive works about Washington.
Brevet Maior-General q. \. Gilmore is or

The CONTEST for the successorship to Mr..
Hedges, the Internal Revenue Supervisor for
the northern district Of Ohio, who died on We'd
nesday last, promises to be exciting. Already
some half dozen candidates have forwarded
their claims to the Off here, and the cry is still
they come. The probability is that each of the
Republican Representatives from that section
Of the State win have favorite for the place
and that they will all want to be heard on the
subject before an appointment is made; but as
several Congressional districts are included in
the territory to be supervised, it is likely that
Senator Sherman's voice will have most weight
in the matter, as appointments Of that class are
now by custom left pretty much to the recon-
mendations of the Senators from the several
States In any event, however, the vacancy
will not be iilled until the return Of Comm;s-
sioner DelanO. Candidates will accordingly
have time to file their papers and bring to bear
such pressure as they can command.

A SPooN SroRY.-Ths New York
Tribune, of October 9Th, says:


Nothing in this world can be more
discOuraging than the detection of q
clergy man in the act of purloiniog the
silver spoons of . parishioner. This is
what has just happened 10 Miller
county, California. One of the flock
was d, ing, ard the shepherd was sent
for to administer spiritual consolation.
Leaning against bureau, and all the
time praying with great fervor, be ab
stracted from the drawer 1.-TWO heavy
old-fas hioned silver spoons" which be
managed 10 "impetticoat" without be
ing observed. Whether be was caught
offering the implements to his uncle, or
eating porridge with one of them, the
record does not state; but found out be
was, and fallen be probably is from his
high estate in Miller county. There is
something uncommonly droll in the
idea of locking up the spoons when you
are expecting visit from the parrish
clerg, man.
Besides being funny, this little story
has a peculiar interest to US, from the
fact that il is the first item Of news We
have seen from Miller county, during =
residence in California Of some twenty
years. IS +. Times.

Horace GREELEY TO HIS CoETshPoR-
AR1Es.-The editor of the Tribune has
endured in p-rfec, silence the newspa
per discussion of his fitness to be
chosen Senator Of the United States
from the State of Virginia. No Indian
at the stake ever underwent torture
with more uuf1inching caImness. Not
even speculations AS to his motives for
seeking such a POSITION, and the pro-
priety or Improperly of his doing so,
could e1tort a word from his lips. But
he has recently received personal nd
vices which assure him that the move
meut TO cleo, him as aforesaid. whether
formida BILE or not, is thoroughly earnest
and impelied by motives which he
must respect. and a confidence which he
gratefully reciprocates; and, as the Leg
islature of Virginia meets to-day, he
feels bound in candor to state that he
could not accept the exalted trust in
Question, even though it we're unani-
mously rendered. His friends will IN
derstand that this decision is irrevoca
BILE.
Aud now, if the gentlemen of the
press will forbear TO name him as
candidate for Office for a few months or
ycars-the longer the bet,er-he will be
obliged to them for The courtesy. and
Will end-avo- to reciprocste the favor.

Mr. Corbin was suffering from pneu-

Petficonrs PoIiticn.

Washington dispatches inform us that
in the midst of the jostling, jamming,
wrsDgling, sweating, yelling and hun
CRY crowd daily thronging the Capital
and the various Departments may be
seen a dozen women "who beat the old
est men there in the vigor with which
they press their claims on any one of
influence" And this is but the fore
taste. Already wOman's mission is de-
generating into Foreign mission, ANNA
.DICKINsoN's struggle for Life" into
nasty tussle and tug for some
morsel of the plunder which the Presi-
dent is casting among his bowling fol-
lowers just as huntsman throws raw
meat to his hounds. Extend the op-
pOrtunities for such performances, en-
large the inducements to political strife
by giving the women the ballot, and
contemplate the lovely result. You just
precipitate into the mire of partisan
strife every dissatisfied element of the
sex, from the inky-Gngered writer of
namby- pamby poetry to the wiry haired
Jezebel who usurps boots and breeches, /
and brawls to the mob about thei
tyranny of CUSTOM" "wOman's mis-
sion," "female duty" and all other
clap-trap DISCUSSES of the idea that wo-
men ought to carry hod, drill in the
militia and ride a-straddle. True the
purer, better, lovelier of their sex, the
sensible and gentle women who give a
charm to home and "sit by the
tircside of the heart feeding its fame"
will remain unchanged, because hum
bug can't run away with their common
sense. But to the weak women who
love to be called "strongminded," and
to, the silly women who affect ro.
nance, curl-papers and high-fying no.
tions about their "spheres" and their
possibilities" this demoralizing suf-
frage scheme which the country is now
being called to face opens a future from
whose contemplation thoughtful people
must turn in terror.
