THE REASON THE TRooPs WERE SENT TO
NEw York ON ELECTION DAY.-AbOut the
twentieth of October, Assistant Treasurer
HillhOuse, Of New York, wrote from New
York to Secretary Boutwell, that he, had
information through detectives, that there
was great probability that a riot would
OCCUR ON election day, in which case the
sub -treasury would be entirely at the
mercy Of the mob, and asking for instruc-
tons as to what course he should pursue
for the security of the public property in
his charge. Secretary Boutwell, deemed the
subject 90 grave as to require the attention
of the President and the Cabinet and laid it
before them at their next meeting. As the
result Of the discussion 8 letter was adj
dressed to Mr.. Hillhouse, notifying him that
sufficient number of troops would be sent
to New York to protect the Government
properly there ms tat reason tGr tne move

Soon after Chief Justice Chase then a

Ohio, he issued his proclamation appointing

sOrthOdox, the Governor composed his pro-
clamation almost exclusively Of passages
from the Bible, which he did not designate
as quotations, presuming that every one
would recognize them, and admire the fit
ness of the words as well as his taste il their
selection. The proclamation meeting the
ewes Of Democratic editor, he bounced at

SIR can not refrain from complimenting You
for the invaluable service you have rendered to
families residing in the suburbs of the city, and
more or less every night exposed to accidents re-
sulting from the explosion Of coal oil lamps.
Your generous aid to Messrs. Barbarin Dupas
soon had the effect of removing all apprehensions
for the safety of our families and homesteads.
The gas apparatus put up in my premises under
the supervision of Mr.. Barbarin, works admirably
since four weeks. The light is excellent, and its
great cheapness makes it specially cOmmendable.
In this connection permit me to Congratulate you
on your selection Of Mr.. CAST who superintends the
laying of the pipes. His work is admirably per
formed
With the earnest hope that THIS great improve
ment in lighting will soon be known by all, and that
the results of this enterprise will be common

Charles Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company:
DEAR SIR-It affords me pleasure to state that the
operation of the gas machine, for sixteen lights,
put up by your company in my dwelling, has
proved to be entirely satisfactory. Since the
secoud day of October last the gas has been
burned nightly, at an average of eight (Argand
burners) lights, from early dusk until about eleven
o'clock, and one light all night The light is, in
every respect, all that could possibly be desired.
1t is perfectly SAFE and is superior to coal gas in
brilliancy, the light being softer and much easier
to read or write by.
The simplicity of the machine is such that any
member Of my family can attend to it during my
absence.
Very respectfully,

WASHINGTON. December 2.-The Secre-
tary of State seems to be the only Ca6inet
officer under the government who is relieved
from the annual anxiety Of writing re-
mort, and then having it stolen before he
even reads- the proOf-sheets himself. For
this greatrelief he is truly thankful, and as
. token thereof, furnishes gratuitOusly
some interesting statistics relating to his
The pay roll Of our national representa-
tives abroad fol- the last fiscal year foOts up
as follows: Salaries, $6O3, 742; contingent
expenses, $50 saS loss by exchange ST.
There have been several reforms in the
consular branch of the service, and 1t is
now more than sef-sustaining.
During the last fiscal year the total
amount Of fees collected and accounted for
by one hundred and eighty-two consulates
was 1854, $50. The years salaries paid
amounted to $45l ,050, and the loss by cx-
change was q, 1884, leaving an excess OF
fees over salaries and losses in exchange of
$73,7O6.
Prior to the war The most profitable con-
sulate was that of Paris, the fees received
there during the last fiscal year amounting
to $50, l69, while the salaries were but
$76l9. The years fees Mt liverpool were
$N, 1857, and the salaries Sll $40. At Man
chester the fees were $l2S.535, and the sala-
ries 1862. At London the fees were $l9.-
073, salaries $3.50; Havana, fees slSSO5,
salaries $77OS; Sheffield, fees $l6.s43, sala-
RIGS $8764. These consulates exhibit the
most favorable showing At the bottom of
the list stands Moscow, where the fees were
% and salaries $.2sS; Brindisi. fees 81 so
and salaries $2O6i. AT Tripoli and Tunis
there was not dollar in the fees collected,
while the salaries at each place are $1,000.
This department has to engage and pay in
tcrpreters aud guards for consulates in
Turkey, China, Japan and Siam. besides
keeping up prisons there for American
criminals ut an annual expense Of $1,000,
and the consular courts, which cost $4,000
moro.
