Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Secretary Fish Interviewed.
There has been such persistent reaffirm-
alton of the revived story that Secretary
Fish had resigned, or was about to reign.
and such prompt and pointed denials of it
that your correspondent called on him to-
day and asked what the exact situation was.
He replied that he had rendered no formal
resignation to the President, and that the
statement was Just about as true now as
il was when it was made wear AGO. The
President had known for many months his
desire to retire from public life, and, in fact,
it had been no secret to his friends. He did
not intend, however, to retire at once, but
would probably remain until the commits
siOns under the treaty of Washington were
in full operation, after which the govern
ment would have nothing to do with the
adjustment, everything being left to arb-
tration. Secretary Fish, may, therefore, 90
out Of the Cabinet before January, or he
may not.
Mexico to be Looked After.
Minister Nelson, at Mexico, has been in
structed to call upon Juarez to take meas
ures to prevent the constant depredations
OF the MeXic2ns on the Texas frontier.
These lncuTsions have been growing more
frequent aud daring, and unless soon
stopped, Gen. AugIr, the new commander
at San Antonio, will be called on to inter
pose the military arm to arrest or drive
back the invaders.
Further Female Oppression.
The Supreme Court of this district will
tomorrow render decision adverse to the
females who have entered suit to enforce
their claims to vote here. The court will
base its decision on the organic act creating
the new district government, which eX-
pressly restricts suffrage to males.
The court will also dissolve the iniunc-
ton of lower court against the 100000
loan bill passed by the new Legislative As
sembly to carry onlOcal Improvements.
Redemption of F1ve-Twenties.
The August notice from the Treasury
for the redemption of one hundred millions
of the matured five-twenties requires that
they shall be presented for payment in
Washington. An appeal has been made to
the Secretary to have most Of them redeem
ed in New Y Ork, on the grounds of conyen-
fence to the money center. Possibly sched-
ules will be furnished the Assistant Treasu-
rer there for that purpose. OF the new
bonds to take their place, it is stated that
but sixty millions have been sent 10 the
London Syndicate, thus leaving thirty-tive
millions to be supplied, deducting the five
per cent. paid at the time of the subscrip-
ton. The whole transaction, however, is
to be, closed on Dec. l.
The Administration
is disappointed at the result of the Virginia
election. The Democratic triumph is
charged in a great measure upon the apathy
of many of the Federal officials in that
State, to say nothing of the alleged con
proclivities of some. The latter
may expect speedy decapitation, for repre-
