It is said that Senator SHERMAN has
prepared bill, which he will introduce
into Congress at an early day, providing
for q reduction of the currency to the
extent Of two hundred millions Of dol
lars.
Wheat is bringing less money than it
has for nine Or ten years; potatoes, for
want CT market, are rotting on the
hands of tie producers m tilc Western
cities currency is worth from one to- two
per cent a month and in the rural dis
tricts it can scarcely be obtained on any
terms. Yet Senator SHERMAN proposes
to pile another mountain upon this crush
ing burden.
Senator SIBERIAN may think he is
right; hut it fatigues the mind to believe
he does. It is much more natural, and
easier, to ascribe such scheme to ambi-
ton or selfshness, than to common sense
or common honesty.

had very fine camp p-meeting. There were about
thirty camps and tents on the ground, and some
estimated that there were thousand persons in
attendance on Sunday. Although l have ats
tended many camp-meetings in many States and
Territories during the last thirty years, I have
never seen better order observed, throughout the
entire meeting, than was evinced on this occa-
sion. The ministers and members of other
Christian churches present took hold, and all
seemed to feel much at home during the entire
meeting. very fine state of social feeling and
deep spiritual interest prevaded the entire occa>
sion and the church was much revived several
professed religion and some joined the church.

How CABINET OFFIcERs LIvE.-1t may
be interesting~to know how our Cabinet
officers live, says a correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, and he accordingly occupies two
columns of his paper in describing their pri>
vate affairs. Secretary Fish, it seems, is the
only member of the Cabinet that keeps
house. He is of medium size and height,
with forid complexion, strong, prominent
features, and side.whiskers deeply tin ged
with gray. He is >arapid and earnest con-
versaiionalist, and dispatches business as he
conducts conversation, with energy. He
will leave the office $50, 900 poorer than he
entered it, because he will live far beyond
$4,000 per annum, as has been his custom
for many years. Secretary Cox occupies the
parlor floor of geuteel clearinghouse, and
and is the finest looking man in Washington.
His hair and eyes are of dark brown, and
his cheeks are ruddy with health. When
his family returns from Cincinnati in the
autumn, they will probably enter upon houser
keeping in moderate way. No compensa
ton other than fame and consciousness of
duty we'll discharged will remain with this
gentleman at the close of his official term.
The Secretary of War is in poor health, and
therefore unable to enter upon the cares of
housekeeping His family are in Danbury,
Conn. In person he is of medium height,
Of pale complexion, its sallowness intensified
BY ill'healtb, and hair and beard as black as
a raven. Gen. Rawlins has accumulated
moderate property, aud is living within bis
income as q Cabinet Minister. Secretary
Borie is the wealthiest man in the Cabinet.
He is short of stature. Of dark complexion,
black eyes, hair tinged with gray, and with
full gray beard. He at present boards at
Willard's but will shortly remove to Worms
ley's new restaurant, where be has engaged
the entire second floor, though Mrs. Borie
will pass the summer at their splendid resi>
denoe near Philadelphia Postmaster>Gen-
eral Creswell has acquired and inherited in
person and BY marriage liberal estate. He
is without children, and at present resides,
with his wife, at the aristocratic boarding.

LATE returns show that Garfelde's ma.

and Kitsap, where it is notorious the gross.

handsome majority, but fairness is something
that does not enter into radical practice.

THE California papers are discussing the
question of removing the U. s. Branch Mint
from San Francisco to Sacramento. 1t is
contended that the latter place being nearer
the mines is the proper point at which to
locate the Mint. Since the completion of

to take on airs, and even talks Of disputing
the question Of commercial supremacy with
the Bay City.

SPoILs OF WAR.-A Washington corres>
pondent makes mention of an application
made to the War and Treasury Department. ts
BY two U. s. Senators from the Southern
States for the recovery of certain valuables,
silver plate, spoons, etc., formerly belonging
10 the families of these Senators, and suppos-
ed to be among the property captured by
Sherman's army in its march to the sea-
The boxes containing these valuables had
been sent to the Treasury Department by
the War Department for safe keeping, and
are in the custody of Gen. Spinner, U. 8.
Treasurer. These boxes were opened and
thoroughly examined, and the contents found
to be watches, diamonds, silver plate, laces
etc.-all very valuable. The only article
found belonging to the Senators mentioned
was one silver spoon having thereon the iui-
tials of one of these gentlemen. The repre-
sentatives of the departments are in a quand-
ary as to the disposition to be made of the
property; but it is suggested that it canlbe
disposed cfa captured and abandoned pro>
