Chaperon.
Secretary Fish has to-day received from the
American Minister at ST. Petersburg the gratifying
intelligence-to him-that Minister Catacazy has
been peremptorily recalled by Prince Gortcha-
kofr the Imperial Chancellor, and that the
Russian Legation at washington has, BY
order Of the Emperor, been placed In charge
OF Mr.. Boris Danzas, the first Secretary
until new Minister shall arrive in this city.
The Importance OF this action OF the Russian gov
ernment can be best understood IN diplomatic cir
ces where the exutation Of the Secretary OF State
Is fully appreciated. It will be remembered thar
though Mr. Catacazy, under the pressure OF the
curt notice from our government that he
conld be no longer tolerated after the presentation
or the Grand Duke Alexis to the President nastened
to surrender his actual control OF the legation he
was as quick to notify Mr.. Fish that he delegated
his powers Of his own motion. and to an attacne OF
his selection, and that he reserved to himself
the title and immunlties OF his position till

| Emperor, to terminate them. This defiant and un-
diplomatic note gave great offence to the President
and Secretary Of State, and the serious embarrass.

have been applied for and received In day, has
been rebuKed by the express assignment of its
charge to the first secretary 10 whom according to
all diplomatic usage, Mr.. Catacazy should have
entrusted it In the first place. 1t Is well known
that Mr.. Catacazy owes hls rise In the
Russian service to the personal favor and
friendship OF Prince Gortchakon, and It could be
nothing less than the grave and gratuitous compi.

members Count Beneditti and the scenes
at Ems which led TO the Franco erman war, and
he Is not disposed to weaken the relations between
his country and our own by any thick-and thin
backing OF his njudicious friend. As the result OF
his Determination an advertisement appears In the
Washington papers offering the furniture, carriages
horses and the whole establishment OF the
Russian Minister for immediate sale, and with
those who are Interested more in the social and
family life OF the capital than In It's diplomatic
squabbles, there is a feeling OF regret that the
charming home ofthe fascinating wife OF the onend-
ing Minister is to be rutnlessly broken up,
and her exquisite taste IN the selec-
ton OF It's accessories used as bait
to tempt purchasers in the brokers' ONCE. Mr..
Catacazy returns Immediately to Russia for even

masters imperial son are terminated 1t Is now
known that about the time the Senate called for
the Catacazy correspondence Count Schouvakhon,
the immediate custodian OF the Imperial Prince,
intimpred to Catacazy that, In view OF tho
representative character borne by the Prince In his
tour through the United States, and the importance
attached to HIS visit by the Russian and American
people, It was hardly compatible with the dignity OF
the occasion and with the interests concerned
therein, that he, the Minister should
longer occupy the conspicuous position OF
chief manager OF the excursion party, and
that the Prince was naturally much embarrassed by
the peculiar relations inro which Mr.. Catacazy mad

Comptroller Hulburd Washes His Hands of

sins-A Republican senator Warns the
President.
The present comptroller OF the Currency, Mr..
Henry II. Hulburd, disclaims any responsibility for
the malversaton OF Colender the national bank ex-
amJner at New York. on the ground that Colender's
appointment was made by Freeman Clarke the for. |
mer Comptroller and present Representative In con-
gress from the Twcny-eirhth district OF New YORK.
No suspicion OF the examiners fidelity was ever en-
tertained; and as the Office he filed was devised by
Senator Sherman or the Finance Committee, |
as watch upon the National Banks. the
present Comptroller takes the ground that IL
would have been useless to set watch
upon watcher, as any systematic unfaithtulness
could have been carried out dd iy,inituyn through
any extended series OF safeguards after the FIRST
had been corrupted.
Comptroller Hulburd now proposes to appoint
Calendars successor upon the nomination
OF the officers or the New York Clearing
House, and require him aud the Examiners
