Hon. Frederick Il. Frelinghuysen, the New
AppOintee,

Hon. FREDERICK aTfennSh"ysen' the new
A special despatch from Washington an
nounces that the President has just sent in to
the Senate the name of the Hon. Frederick T.
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, as the successor
of Mr. Motley as Envoy Extraordinary and Min
lister Plenipotentiary from the United States to
Great Britain.
Mr. Frelinghuysen is near relative
o nephew, we believe-of the distinguished
Theodore Freinghuysen, who was the Whig
candidate for Vice-President on the ticket with
Henry Clay in 1874. He is a native of New
Jersey, and at present resides in the city of
Newark. He was born at Mulstone in that
State, on the 4th of August, 1917, and re-
ceived his education at Rutgers College,
New Brunswick, of wqich his celebrated relative
was at one time President. After leaving col
lege he studied law, and for many years con-
tinued to practice with great success, achieving
the reputation of being one of the ablest law
yers in New Jersey, and indeed in the Middle
States. Acting with the old Whig party until
its disruption, Mr. Frelinghuysen became asso-
ciated with the Republican movement from the
start, and has always been consistent member
of that party, although he has generally been
regarded as rather conservative in his ten
denotes. In 1861 he was appointed Attorney
General of New Jersey by Governor Olden,
being reappointed to the same position in 1865
by Governor Ward.
On the death of the Hon. William Wright he
was appointed by Governor Ward United States
Senator, to fill the vacancy, the present Secre-
tary of the Navy, General George NJ. Roheson,
becoming his successor in the Attorney General
ship. Mr.. Frelinghuysen took his seat
in the Senate on the Gath of January, 1867, and
his temporary appointment to that body was
soon after confirmed by the Legislature of New
Jersey, which elected him TO fill the remaining
portion of Senator Wright'S term, which expired
on March a, 1869, Mr.. F. took leading
position in the Senate, being selected to serve
on the Committees on Judiciary Naval Affairs,
and Claims. Before the expiration OF his term
however, the Democrats had come into power
again, and the Hon. John P. Stockton was
elected his successor He is a man of unques-
toned ability, thorough scholar, possessed of
an attractive and forcible style as a speaker.
His qualifications for the most important diplo-
matte positions in the gift of the Government
time alone can develop.

House..

Continued from, the Third Edition.
The report having been read at length, Mr..
ScAenck proceeded to explain 1t. The bill, he said,
was not just what, perhaps, any member desired.
He could very frankly say for himself that there
were q number Of things in it which did not COM
mand his entire assent but all little difficulties were
sunk in the general character and value OF the bill
itself as leading measure. Trying the bill by the
complete returns for the last fiscal year. he cacu-
lated thaq this bill would reduce internal taxes
s50, 1000, 900 and the customs receipts s27 100000.
He would not hesitate to say that the reduction to
be effected by this bill, compared with the receipts
Of last year, would be over $50 000 He regretted
that the House had assented to the first amendment
of the Senate which struck out IS pages more than
half Of the House bill, including special taxes on
brokers and bankers and their sales. Hereafter all
Wall street operations would be free from any bur-
den whatever, and source OF revenue from which
millions had been and might be obtained without in
terferng with any OF the fair legitimate industry of
the country was swept away.
He should always believe that the House had in
that matter acted somewhat unadvisedly. Perhaps
ii partly his own fault in having moved the pre-
vious question, and thus put himself In a condition
where he had only four or five minutes to explain
the matter; but he thought 1t was still more the
fault or the mistake OF gentlemen who led the House
in that direction under influences which they
did not know OF themselves, for it was within his
knowledge that the theatre men and brokers and
lottery men were very busy that morning about the
HQpse and in the lobbies.

CITY INTHLLueENC
DEFALCATION.


Another Phiindeiphian EmbarRs with Other
Peoples Fun1n-The Debtor ou the Read to
Eurepo-The Creditors on tho Auxlous Beach
Probable Faiiure
This morning the business community of
Philadelphia was startled with rumor of
another genuine sensation in the shape of
defalcation by member of one of the most
prominent wool houses on Front street. The
rumor at first failed to be believed, but as tue
morning wore on those interested began to
call 81 the place of business Of the reported
missing gentleman to ascertain the truth of the
report, when it was fouHd that chat individual
had undoubtedly left for parts unknown, with
a large quantity of Somebody's money.
The house to which tire defaicator belonged is
that known as Thcmas Htsen & Co., wool
brokers' doing business at No 80 s. Front street,
and the missing gentleman is Mr.. Thomas Hilsen
himself, the head OF the firm.
The origin OF the rumor was the reception OF
a telegram from the firm of B. w. Bond IL Co.,
wool brokers in Boston, Mass of which the
firm of Hilsen 81 Co. is q branch. This telegram
was sent to one of the members of Elilsen IL Co,
and stated that Mr.. Hilsen had undoubtedly
gone to Europe with large amount of money
belonging to che house. He was supposed, the
telegram stated to have sailed in the steamer
Syria. The amount of the defalcation is sup
posed to be about 100000.
Various reports were on the street as to'the
amount and as to how it is distributed among
the various creditors, but the exact truth cannot
be gotten at as yet. It is not even known for q
certainty who some of the creditors are nor can

Boston. According to one report the hesviest
amcunts are not held in Philadelphia, though
several of our firms will suffer to some degree.
According to another report Philadelphans will
be the greatest losers, as much as $15, Gee being
owing TO a single firm in this city. The names
of various houses are given, but, from want OF
proper proof to back the assertion, their names
are withhold The firm of Thomas Hilsen 81
Co. will undoubtedly fail, that being the opinion
expressed by its remaining members, but what
the amount will be has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
Mr.. Hilsen has always borne a high business
character, and no thought of such transaction
had ever entered the mind of any one having
business with the house. The firm has always
met its engagements promptly, and the business
community has always reposed the greatest
confidence in it. The honse has been doing
quite large and flourishing business for some
time past, and prosperous season was looked
forward to, which however is now cut short by
the unceremonious departure of the principal
partner. Mr.. Hilsen resided on West Washing
ton Square, where he was favorably known by
the residents in the vicinity
Movements are now being inaugurated tc
obtain if possible part of the missing money
but with only doubtful hope of success. The
members of the firm are in anxious eXpecta
tion Of any news from or concerning the miss
