The Falls City Tobacco Bank, at Louisville,
KY, was entered by burglars a few nights ago,
and robbed of special deposits to the amount
of S12, 900 or SIS, 900. 49,. George W. Hall, the
young man who killed Miss Smokey, at Sails
bury, Nd, has ended his own career by throw
ing himself under the wheels of a railroad
train.
The loss by the burglarizing of the Falls
City Tobacco Bank, of Louisville, turns out to
have been much larger than was at first sup
posed. All the Jacksonville railroad bonds,
the Short Line railroad bonds, and the New
Albany city bonds are missing, amounting,
probably, to over 800, 000. THE last rail on
the Texas Central railroad, connecting it with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, at Deni-
son, Texas, has been laid, and there is now I'M
broken railway connection between New York
and Galveston.
Washington.
Nor a single bill containing a subsidy or a
land grant of any description passed during
the late session of Congress....A Washington
correspondent writes that there is much can
wasting there as to the Presidential policy to
be pursued with regard to Federal appoint
ments. On this point the authorities are con-
ficting. Some friends of the President claim
that he will make numerous changes through
out the country, especially among postmasters
and collectors; while others are confident
that, with but few exceptions, the present in
cumbents will be reappointed for a second
term 1t is asserted that there will not be a
single Cabinet change, with the exception,
possibly, of Mr.. Boutwell,. Levi P. Lucky,
of Illinois, is henceforth to perform the func-
tions of Private Secretary of the President.
JUDGE POLAND has sent the ten shares of
disowned Credit Mobilier stock that were
II l.
United States Treasurer Spinner, who is to sell
them, with accumulated dividends, for the
benefit of the conscience fund of the Treasury.
1t is authsritatively stated that the Presi-
dent will send but very few appointments to
the Senate this session. ID. B. Stewart, the
contumacious Credit Mobilier witness, has
brought suit against Speaker Blaine and the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House for false i'm
prisonment. He claims damages to the
amount of 800, 900. It is stated that it is
not the intention of the Secretary of the Treas
ury to initiate the currency by keeping out
permanently any part of the $44, DOC, 600 legal
tender reserve, though he still adheres firmly
to the conviction that he has the right to make
use of this reserve, and will do SO, temporarily,
should the exigencies of the public interest re-
quire it,. Senator Sumner was in his seat in
the Senate the other day. His health has
vastly improved.
The congressman who voted themselves
SIS, 900 extra salary have been imploring the
disbursing officer of the House for their
money, but it seems they have ran against a
snag. The COMPTROLLER has decided that the
law is SO loosely worded that he does not feel
authorized to draw a warrant for the amount.
The amount which the law requeres for in
creased pay for the Congress just ended is
exactly $1,655, 900. Dom Piatt, the pub
Usher of the Washington Capital says the
police of the city stopped the sale of the extra
edition of his paper containing a burlesque &C
count of the inaugural festivities. 1t is
rumored at the capital that France has de-
manded the surrender of Gen. Fremont.
Senator Chandler the other day made his first
and newly-arrived grandson a present of $780,
900. The President has sent the following
nominations to the Senate: G.. P. Walmought,
Collector of Customs at Cuyahoga, Ohio. Post

WASHINGTON swarms with ofice-seekers.
The greatest rush seems to be for consulates.
THE Comptroller of the Treasury has
finally come to the conclusion that the in
crease of salaries can be paid as authorized by
Congress, and the warrant has been drawn for

A RUMoR comes from London that the Mar
gus OF IOrne ana the Pr1nceSS Louise have
separated because of incompatibility of tenn
Per, that the Princess is in a religious retreat
near Windsor, and that the Marquis has gone
abroad. The Carlists every day grow more
formidable in their attempts to re-establish a
throne in Spain. They are now about to ne
gotiate a loan on the credit of their successes.
Theirs gives an illustration of the quality of
his Republicanism by fastening to be the first
to accord them belligerent rights in their as
saults upon the distracted Spanish Republic.
The impression grows in London that Don
Carlos will succeed. Theirs is again on his
legs.
AN ~accomplice and paramour of Warren, the
principal of the Bank of England forgeries,
has been arrested by the London police. A
large amount of money was found in her

swindlers is also in custody, but neither has

The Duke of Edinburgh is engaged to a for
eign imperial princess. The reported separa-
ton of the Marquis of Lorne and Princess
