CHANGE IN THE UNITED STATES FISCAL
AGENCY AT LONDON. Gol
Washington, September 1.--Clews, Hal
rich & Co., of London, and the foreign
house of Henry Clews & Co., of New
York, have been designated as the fiscal
agents of the United States government at
London--a trust until now vested in the
house of Barring Brothers & Co. std
Thirty years ago, after the negotiation of
the Ashburton treaty, the agency was
taken from the Bank of England, which
had held the office ever since the establish
ment Of American independence, and Civ
ing to Barring Brothers Il Co., in compli-
ment to Lord Ashburton, who was D MEM
Der Of that firm, and who negotiated the
treaty which bears his name.
For over quarter of a century Barring
Brothers Il Co., have done the government
business, and the account is now trans
ferred to Clews Il Co., as recognition Of
their valuable services in promoting the ne
gotiation of our several loans during and
since the war. ,...,.
All the money received in this diplomatic
service, and all the collections of the United
States Consuls in Europe, South America,
and part Of Asia and Africa, are remitted
to this agency in London, which is the Off
cial representative of the government in
all financial matters relating to. foreign coun-
tries.-a i ID
THE SOUTH CAROLINA KU-KLUx QUEs-
TION BEFORE THE CABINET-THE
CoREAN DIFFICULTY, ETC.
Washington, September 1.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members, excepting the postmaster-general
and the secretary of the treasury, both of
whom are absent from the city.
The President early called the attention
of the members present to the letter Of
Senator Scott, Of Pennsylvania, alleging
causes for the declaration Of martial law in
certain counties Of South Carolina, which
was handed to the President yesterday.
/ Without any discussion of consequence
this letter was referred to the attorney gen
eral, who is to take action concerning the
application of the "Ku-klux law" upon the
statement contained therein. AS soon as
this official has made report the proclama-
ton will be issued.
| The Cabinet also considered the .Corean
difficulty; but it is understood that the
question will be LEFT for the action Of Con
gress. lA
A large amount of routine business was
accomplished.

The Gopsronor's Illness Suddenly Cured.
Goaded by the treatment he received at the
hands Of his friends, but powerless to do
them any damage beyond, Governor Wal
ker, yesterday, appointed George d. Par
ker, notary public for Norfolk county.
Il We learn he had been vainly seeking re-
lief from the condition into which he had
been thrown by the scenes of the past few
days; and although the best medical advice
was consulted, all remedies failed, One Of
his chief medical advisers, being particu-
lar friend of ours, knowing our great esteem
for the Governor, fortunately mentioned
his condition to us. We at once suggest ed
to the M. d. to 60 at once to the Mansion
and direct him to appoint an N. P. Our
advice was taken, the N. P, appointed, and
we are happy to say His Excellency is do
ing well and able to be about again. He
now knows the remedy for which we make
no charge.

A Park for Church and Union Hills
A petition, numerously signed by leading
citizens, will be presented to the City
Council, at its next meeting, asking that
body to sell the piece of property owned by
the city and known as Libby Hill, and
purchase with the money "Chimborazo,"
with view of making the latter public
park.
They state that Libby Hill, divided into
building lots, will realize. a round sum,
while Chimborazo can be bought very
cheaply. They speak in glowing terms Of
the advantages which the proposed ar
rangement holds out to all interested. The
proposition, they contend, involves no ex-
travagant expenditure of public money, but
only proposes plan by which non-produc-
tive and unimproved property can be ex-
changed for large area in every way
adapted for beautiful and attractive park
Our city fathers will give this petition the
attention and consideration which if justly
deserves. 5,.,..-
