Winding up Of Lhe Freedmen's Bu'
reau.
Statistics of the Freedmen's Bureau
show that the business in the South is
closed, except such portions OF the educa-
tional interest as are supported by educa,
tional associations All the agents and
aids of the Bureau, except those whose
duties relate to the payment OF bountles,
have been discharged. Among the sub
scriptions received for the benefit of edu-
catiOnal purposes are contributions from
parties who figured prominently during
the late war on the side of the South.
The New Minister 30 England-NevVs-
mOngers i'm n QuandarY.
A very great deal of interest is felt in
the appointment of new Minister to
England in place of the erudite Motley,
and very great deal of mystery appears
10 exist on the subject The newsmen
only agree on one point and that is, that
the appointment has been made and ac--
cepted. Who the appointee is no one
seems to know except Grant, Fish, and
possibly some new Cabinet officers. Grant
won't tell; Fish says he can't let the cat
out of the bag, and unfortunately, there
is no one else from whom to obtain the
required information, except the appointee
himself The cause of this unusual
secrecy is perplexing; but 1 am in
formed that there are good rea-
sons for it. President Grant is
said to have taken the business into his
own hands, and it is supposed that he in
tends to give such instructions about our
difficulties With England as will leave no
further field for doubt or embarrassment
on the part of our future representative.
Motley is said to have complained of du-
bious Instructions as one of the causes of
his sudden recall. If that be true, his
successor viii be left no cause to make
similar complaint. The instructions are
TO be brief, simple, decisive aud yet COM
prehensiVe of all the occasions of Con
pleasantness" between the two countries.
Mr.. Fish, on being asked to disclose the
name of the appointee, declined, on the
ground that the President is the only one
who can give information on the subject,
and that it would be unwise and improper
to do SO under existing circumstances if
he were at liberty. EJ0-rsIa
North Carolina.
A Government official, who has just
returned from North Carolina, says that
affairs in that State have quoted down.
No reports of troubles are received from
any county. All but two companies of
Kinks militia have been disbanded. The
Holden party, which contemplated an ap-
peal to Congress to overthrow the August
election, have abandoned that idea, and
it is now doubtful If the seat of any of,
the conservative Congressman is con-
tested
The Money Order Business.
The business of the Money Order Bu-
reau of the Postoff1ce Department during
the past fiscal year is one third larger than
that of the preceding year. Over one
million six hundred thousand orders have
been issued, transferring SS4, 054, lS4, for
which 1926, 235 was paid. The cost to
the purchaser was, therefore, seven-tenths
of one per cent, while the cost to the
government was only half that. This is
only the fifth year since the Treasury
Order Bureau was established, and the
business Is growing as rapidly this year as
last, four hundred new offices having been
opened since July l. Illinois is the lead
ing State in their use, having sent three
millions of dollars by these orders the
past year. New York comes second.
The Oregon SenatOrshiP.
A dispatch received from Portland says
that, owing TO the corruption and quarrels
among the candidates for United States
Senator, there is decided prospect that
Williams will be elected. When the Leg
islature was organized, there was a ma
jority of eight against him on joint bal
lot.
