CONGRESSIONAL BALLOTS.

1t should not be forgotten that
by chapter 712, United States laws
of 1871, the congressional ballot
as distinct from all others. AS the
old rule was to place the name of
the candidate for congress on the
state ticket, care should be taken
that it is not done now The con-
gressional ballot must be separate
and distinct, thus:

CABINET CHANGES

AS the time draws on when the
several changes in President Grants
advisory board will take place, spec
ulations and remonstrances fall
thick and fast as the leaves in Val
ambrosa's bowers. These, just now
chiefly centre on Secretary. Bout
well, the prevailing tendency being
to insist on his retaining the Treas
nry portfolio, rather than seek to,
take Senator Wilson's place. 1t is
even intimated that should he seek,
the Senate he may fail. as he will
have active and able competitors.
Massachusetts papers seem inclined
to urge his retention in the cabinet,
their plea being that they can sup
ply Senators, but not able financial
ministers. In all this, President
Grant seems to be left out of ac-
count, while we judge it probable
that he has already forecast the sit
uation, and may have a successor
for Mr.. Boutwell, in his mind already.
Still all this might be arranged,
were it not that Mr.. Boutwell's te-
nacity of purpose will probably in
duce him to insist on being made
Senator.

INTERMEDIATE SUPREME COURT.

A bill will be presented to Con-
gress this winter which proposes
radical changes in the present work
ing of the Supreme Court. The
bill contemplates an intermediate
Court, which shall possess the ordin-
ary power of the pres
ent Supreme Court, and before
which all causes shall be argued.
The Supreme Court proper shall be
made stationary and the justices re
lieved of all circuit duty, which shall
be performed by the judges of the
intermediate Conrt, the Supreme
Court to give entire attention to pass
ing upon and deciding question of
law which come before it from the
intermediate Court. The bill will
also provide that the intermediate
Court shall not construe any law,
but decide cases which come bofore
it in accordance with the construc-
ton placed upon the laws by the
Supreme Court. The measure is
deemed necessary because of the
accumulation of cases on the dock
ct of the Supreme Court.

HORACE GREElEY-HlS REPORTED
INSANITY.

A New York morning paper pub
fishes the story current in newspa-
per circles for nearly week that
Horace Greeley is insane, and says
he is now an inmate of the asylum
at White Plains. The same paper
makes public an interview with
Whitelaw Reid, managing editor of
the Tribune, in which that gentle
man is made to say in answer to
questions: Mr.. Greeley has been
under mental treatment for some
time. He is always reticent in man
ner, and very likely might be con-
sidered by some stark mad, but he
is simply nervously PROSTATE.
The Express says the city is full
of gossip about Mr.. Greeley's loss
of reason,a paralytic attack, seeking
an asylum at Bloomingdale, etc. Mr..
Sinclair, publisher of the Tribune,
stated to a reporter, that Mr.. Gree
ley's mind was not seriously affected
and he was suffering only from ner-
vous prostration.

JUST so.

The Tribune thinks that the COM
ing session of Congress promises to
bea very quiet one. Just so. Eve
rything will move on harmoniously,
thanks to the verdict of the people
on the 9TH inst. who decided posi-
lively that they do not want the
wheels of government obstructed
by soreheaded politicians and am
bilious tricksters. The reelection
of President Grant and more than
two-thirds majority in the next Con-
gress, guarantees the quiet and eff
fective disposal of business during
the coming session. We trust
that the members will go to work
at once when Congress reassembles,
and now that the political issue of
the day is decided, proceed to the
business before them with a deter
mination to finish it up at the earli-
est moment. Let them show to the
country and the world that they are
not politicians, but statesmen bent on
serving the interests of our great
Republic. The Republican party
has a new mission; let it fulfill it as
become men and patriots, and they
will meet the award due to all who
never quail in the defence of princi-
pie, right and justice.

AROUND THE WORLD.

An important link in the nearly
completed telegraphic girdle which
is being placed around the world,
was perfected last Saturday, in the
opening of the land lines of Aus
tralia, by which that remote coun-
try is brought into direct commu-
nication with our own. All that
remains to be done, in order to close
the gap in the magnetic circle, is
the laying of a cable across Beh-
rings Straits, and then the airy
promise of Puck will have been
turned into an accomplished fact.
In connection with this subject it is
urged that in view of the constantly
increasing growth and Importance
of the trade and commerce Of Asia
and Australia, and of the geograph
ical and other advantages possessed
bv the United States over other
maratlne nations with reference
thereto, every encouragement ought
to be givon by Congress at its en-
suing session to the expansion of
our trade with those countries. The
construction of a ship channel
across some part of Central Ameri-
ca would, it is argued, supersede the
use of the Suez Canal, so far as the
trade of the United States with the
transpaciiic is concerned, as well as
give the bulk of it to American bot
toms. The enlargement of our
commerce and the fostering of our
shipping interests are among the
most important questions of the
time, and will unquestionably re-
ceive due consideration at the ap-
preaching session of Congress.

MONUMENT ToELLsWoRTH.

A monument is about to be erec-
ted at Mechanicsville, to the mem
ory of Colonel Ellsworth, of the fire
Zouaves, who was killed at Alexan-
dria, Va, at the commencement OF

NEW RULES FOR REDEMPTION OF
MuTIiATED CURRENCY.

By direction of the Secretary of
the Treasury, the practice Of trans
mitting transfer checks in redemp-
tion of old, defaced and mutilated
currency in sums of five dollars and
upward, and legal tender notes in
sums of fifty dollars and upward,
forwarded by express to the Treas
ury of the United States, will be
discontinued December 1st, 1872.
Thereafter returns for such remit
tances will be made in all cases by
express, at the expense of the De-
partment, in new legal tender notes
or fractional currency in such de-
nominations as the owners may re-
quest. When no request is made
returns will be made in currency of
the same kind as that received.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

Harvard University lost some
where about halt a million dollars
by the Boston fire, in the BURNING
buildings in which the funds of
the institution were invested. The
loss will seriously embarrass the
University unless provision is i'm
medately made by generous dona-
tions, as it never had but hand to
mouth existence, the salaries of the
professors and the annual provision
for library and apparatus being
pinchlngly small at the best. The
loss by the fire. unless made good
in some way, will greatly reduce
the meagre salaries and cut off al
the resources available for
library and laboratory supplies.
An appeal is made for a fund of
$25O,OOO to be raised at once, and
we can scarcely suppose the re
sponse will not be prompt and gen.
erous.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS MESSAGE.

In an interview on Saturday even
ing, the President stated that he had
just finished a rough draft of his
message, and as yet he had said
nothing concerning amnesty. He
further stated that if further con-
sideration should induce him to
mention that subject, he would re
commend that all existing disabili
ties be removed; provided only that
every person now under disabili-
ties shall publicly request to be am
nestled. The President does not
consider rebellion so trifing crime
that its bitterest leaders need make
no acknowledgment Of wrong.
The President will recommend in
his message the appropriation of
four millions of dollars to the Dis
trict of Columbia for the payment
of lands upon which government
buildings are located.

STRENGTHEN HIS HANDS.

A Washington dispatch says it is
expected a sharp attack will be
made in Congress on the Presidents
Civil Service rules, and the Demo
Gratis are already chuckling over the
fight that is to occur inside the Re-
publican party through the war of
disappointed politicians upon the
Administration. We are prepared
for attempts to embarrass the pro
gress of Civil Service Reform by a
low stripe of politicians, without re
ference to party, but the Democrat
ic party will make nothing by the
hoped for eight" No such fight
can take place in the Republican
ranks, for the party is irrevocably
committed to Civil Service Reform,
and the Administration in all the
steps taken, or proposed, is in di-
rect line with the Republican poll
cy as avowed in the platforms and
declarations of its National State,
and local representative gatherings.
Whatever Republican arrays him
self in opposition to the practical
measures of Civil Service Reform
which are now in operation, or those
proposed in the same direction,
does 30 on his own individual re-
sponsibility, and is in antagoism to
the party as well as to public senti-
ment. The result of individual op-
position to the party sentiment was
too plainly shown at the late cleo
ton to afford much encouragement
to malcontents,
But if formidable organization
of politicians, no matter of what
party, should be made in opposition
to the Administration on the basis
of antagonism to Civil Service Re
form, the President would have
nothing to fear. He has the peo-
pie at his back, and the malcontents
would soon find they had brought
ruin upon themselves. The Presi-
dent could have done nothing more
certain to rally around him the Re-
publican masses, the true Republic
can leaders, and the honest men of
all parties, than his action in the
Philadelphia Post Office case. 1t
was a test case in which the homes
ty of his devotion to Civil Service
Reform was put to the severest trial.
If he continues treading in the same
path-and there is no reason for
doubling it-he will close his sec
ond term with unanimous verdict
of approval from the whole nation.
But help now is more important
than approval four years hence. The
Presidents hands sho'd be strength
ened. He should be assured, by
every practicable means, that the
people will give him hearty sup
port, whatever the politicians may
say or do.-CleUeldnd Herald.

Border Pastimes-0ne Hundred Thou
sand Buffaloes Penned
Up by Storm.

The Kansas City Times says: On
Tuesday morning last party of our
prominent citizens availed them
selves of an invitation extended by
Superintendent G.. H. Nettleton, of
the T. q S. F. R. R., to take little
hunting excursion to Fort Dodge,
about three hundred and fifty miles
from this city. The party proceed
ed via the Kansas Pacific to Topeka
Kansas, where they were switched
off and started down the Sante Fe
Railroad, reaching Fort Dodge the
following night. There they met
with the terrific northwestern storm
which has swept the country dur
ing the past week. The country
around Fort Dodge was perfectly
black with buffalo. They had run
before the driving storm to the
Arkansas river, which being frozen
over and very slippery they refused
to cross. The herds accumulated
by thousands until every bend by
the river became gorged with the
black moving mass of buffaloes.
The Kansas City party shot between
thirty and forty without leaving
Fort Dodge. They report more fun.
and more game than they could at
tend to.
On Wednesday night the people
at Fort Dodge had dance, at which
three men were shot and thrown out
into the frost. One of these men
was brought to this city last night
to be forwarded to his friends in
New Orleans. They make no
trouble about killing few men at
Fort Dodge. 1t is mere pastime at
a dance-house fandango.

HOW IS 1T?

The Liberal-Democratic journals
before the election asserted that
General Grant would only succeed
by buying up Democratic votes.
What an awful lot Of greenbacks
must have been expended in this
and other States! The United
States Treasury according to their
calt u alton should be empty, but it
still has its hundred millions in the
vaults to meet all honest demands.
We do not think that any democrat
was bought either to vote or to stay
away from the polls. How is it.

CANADA AGAIN.

The idea of annexing Canada to
this country is again coming for
ward for discussion. The London
Times recently informed the Do
minion that it must take care of it
self, and there are many who think
that the best way of doing it, is
simply to come In with the United
States. We can, of course, afford
to wait, and leave our frisky neigh
Dor at the north to come forward
when she is fully ready.

GREELEY SERIOUSLY ILL.

The Tribune announced that
the Hon. Horace Greeley has been
seriously ill since the death of Mrs.
Greeley. Nervous prostration caus-
ed by long and anxious watching at
her bedside during the last few weeks
of her fatal sickness, set in after
her funeral, and Mr.. Greeley has
suffered greatly 'therefrom. We are
sure that men Of all parties will
with him in this afflic
tion, and wish for him speedy res.
toration TO health and a return to
the editorial chair from which he
has so long been missed.

Nearly three hundred Italians are
now in Castle Garden, defrauded of
all their money by band of emf
grant swindlers. 1t appears they
were induced to leave home by
stories of the advantages awaiting
them at Buenos Ayres. Ney were
told in Marsellies that a vessel
would be at New York to take them
to Rio, and arrived here Wednesday
to find how cruelty they were wrong
ed and robbed. The authorities
have informed the Italian ambassa-
dor at Washington.

SAN DOMINGO.

There are outgivings of another
San Domingo agitation before Con-
gress this winter but it is not likely
that the President will take part in
it. 1t is reported that the people OF
San Domingo are exceedingly anx-
ious for annextion, and are looking
hopefully to Congress for favorable
action. In the meantime the war
between Baez and Cabral still con-
tinues. with the advantage on the
side of the former.

MIR. RARLoW,s STATEMENT.

A Times reporter visited Mr.. S.
L. NJ. Barlow, one of the present
Board of Directors of the Erie Rail
road, last night, at his residence.
Mr.. Barlow said that the directors
have been trying since July to get
true statement of Gould's accounts
with the road, but without much
success, because the books had been
fraudulently kept back by Gould,
and his adherents. A few weeks
ago, Smith, Gould, Martin! & Co.
were called upon by the present
Board for information in regard to
the sale of $50,00O,00O worth of
Erie securities received by them dur
ing Gould's administration. From
an examination of their books, the
Board of Directors were enabled to
supplement the account of the road
and by that means find that Gould,
individually, did receive, and not
account for, nearly $10,000,000 in
cash, since July. 1868, and it is for
this sum the Company has brought
suit, and now hold Gould in bail for
100000. r" .H
1t has been discovered also, that
there were appropriations made by
the old Erie Board to the extent of
over So, 100000, in order to enable
Gould to pay his losses in the great
gold speculations of September,
1869. The only item in which it
would appear that Fisk is concerned
is the record of payment to him of
100000 cash. 1t would seem by
this that if Fisk made any great
sum of money by his connection
with Gould, he soon made aywith it.
Gould saved his money. Mr.. Bar
low further stated that the directors
will prosecute Gould vigorously in
civil proceedings, and lock him up
on criminal charge, if possible, if
Gould should refuse to disgorge.
Mr.. Barlow is of the opinion that
Gould is well able to pay the amount
for which he is sued. Gould is also
concerned, Barlow says, with Angus
tus Schell, Horace f. Clark and
others, in gigantic stock specula-
tion,is which $100,000,O00 is staked.
Gould is said to have an interest in
the pool to the amount of $15,000,-
600.

of King William. The United
States authorities are now in sole
possession of the Island.
