OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, March. ii, 1873.
TREASURY CHANGES.

TREASURY CHANGES.
The election of Secretary Boutwell, TO
the U. S. Senate for the unexpired four
years of Vice President Wilson'S term is
the leading topic of conversation here.
The transfer of Mr.. Boutwell, is regretted
generally, because he was by all parties,
except those whose political bias render
their opinions one-sided, esteemed the
right man in the right place. His openly
expressed desire to be relieved from the
position after four years of arduous la
Dor had prepared the minds of our citi-
zens to accept the change as one he had
an unquestioned right to seek. He has
established a policy for the next four
year of the Treasury portfolio, whoever
may be its head, and no one will fear that
any radical change will be attempted.
There is more discussion here about the
Assistant Secretaries than there is in re-
gard to the head of the Department. No
one seems to be at all certain as to who
President Grant will take into his Cabi-
net as this is a matter with him of person
al choice in great measure. Many think
that the promotion of Assistant Secretary
Richardson is foregone conclusion but
though the President in the past has paid
little regard to sectional appointments,
some think, now that Massachusetts has
the Vice President and some of the larger
States are without representation in the
Cabinet, that Judge Richarson will re-
tain his present post, while some distin-
gushed politician will be made Secretary
of the Treasury. The present eflicien,
Chief Clerk, Mr.. j. II Saville, is an as
pirant to one of the Assistant Secretary
ships, and it is generally supposed wheth-
er Judge Richardson remains at the head
or first Assistant, that the place Of Mr..
Hartley will be vacated. There is no
certainty in this, however, as Mr.. Hart
ley, though appointed under Demo
cratic administration, has been very quiet
and unobt7usive, and has, perhaps, more
experience in the business than any other
Treasury official.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The election Of a full Democratic dele
CATION in Congress for the State of New
Hampshire is no gain to the opposition,
as they have had the three members in
the last Congress bat the falling off of
the vote shows significantly that Repub-
licans there have taken the bait prepared
by the opposition. Many Republicans
have stayed away from the polls, because
they were dissatisfied with what has been
done or left undone by Congress. The
Legislature being Republican and the
Governor having to be chosen by a Re-
publican House, the dominant party
may feel well satisfied with the status quo
which will thus be maintained in this,
one of the most doubtful Of the States.
BRITISH CHANGE OF MINISTRY.
The defeat Of the Liberal ministry in
England and the resignation of Glad
stone with possible success Of the Con-
servative party is among the interesting
subjects of gossip. The vote against the
Irish University bill appears to have been
a complete surprise to the ministry, and
to have resulted more from combina-
ton Of favoring circumstances than from
any unpopularity of the Liberals.
RUN ON A BANK.
Quite a scare has taken place among
the depositors Of the Washington Savings
Bank here. For three days line has
been formed in front of their office and
it has dwindled to small crowd around
the door. The cause appears to have been
misapprehenslons in the inferen ces drawn
from Comptroller Knox's report regard
ing technical violations of its charter by
the Company. The fact is that the char
ter had long been abandoned and the
company was working under a private
organization. 1t is fact, however, that
savings banks as well as building asso-
Citations in this District are run without
always being incorporated and properly
subjected to periodical official reports.
This should be reformed, and all such
institutions should be compelled to con-
form to the terms Of general incorpor-
alton law of the District Legislature. De-
posts are now being returned to the bank
in question.

PHYSIOLOGICAL
PHENOMENA.

During trip into Washington
county, Me. ,one summer. / was made
acquainted with very singular case
OF physiological phenomena in thu
persons or several families residing
in the towns Of Milbridge and Stcu-
ben, and soon atterward was brought
into contact with several OF thea,
One of the families was named Mitch
ell and another was named Pinkam
The popularity consists in bleeding
TO death from the smallest scratch OF
the skin, and relatives of both these
families have died during the past
four generations. The last death oc-
Cured "A few weeks ago in the Mitch
ell family. Mr. Mitchell about thir
ty years OF age, cut himself little
worse than ever before and died in a
few hours. Many times before he
had bIed till it seemed that the blood
had all run out OF the body,and then
would gradually recover. Another
remarkable popularity connected with
this bleeding family is that none but
the males bleed, and they are the SONS
of the females of the same family.
For instance. DIr. Mitchell has left
children; none of them will bleed !;
but if the girls should have boys in
their families, they will be of the
bleeding kind, but the boys arc them
selves free, and their families will be
the same. A physician who has
practiced twenty years in the family
cannot account for this singular phe-
nonena. During this time several
of them have died from this Cause,
and others have bled dangerously.
Three generations ago it was the
"talk' among the old ladies of the
vicinity that two brothers murdered
"a man by knocking him down and
then binding him to tree, leaving
him to bleed 10 death in this position
and that the murdered man while
thus bleeding and bound hoped the
families of the two brothers would
''bleed to death until the fifth genera
ton" The Mr. Mitchell who died
recently was of the fourth generation.
.Of course the story about any body
being murdered and so forth has no
truth In fact, but it is no less true
that quite number of persons in or
of the same family have bled to death
from the mere scratch of the skin.
Singularly enough, too, this bleeding
family has a penchant for edge tools.

USELESS TREAsURE,-A rich noble
man was once showing friend q great
collection Of precious stones, whose value
was almost beyond counting. There
were diamonds, and pearls, and rubies,
and gems from almost every country on
the globe. which had been gathered by
their possessor with the greatest labor
and expense. Sand yet" he remarked,

replied that he had two stones which
cost him about ten forms each, yet they
yielded him an income Of two hundred

desired to see the wonderful stones .
when the man led him down TO his mill,
and pointed to the toiling gray mill
stones. They were lahoriously crushing
the grain into snowy flour for the use of

HOW FRENCHMEN REGARD
NAPOLEON.

The New York Courier DIS Etut
Unis expresses the following opin-
ion as TO the views which French
men take of the deceased ex .Enpe-
ror:
After TIE reception Of the news
OF Napoleon's death, we visited
French establishments yesterday,
and we have seen many # our coun-
trymen whose sentiments have some
weight. Everywhere, in all ranks,
in every degree of fortune and IN
telligence, We have found the same
indifference, the same bitter smile,
equally expressive Of So isfacion
and disdain. We are convinced
that. setting aside tho naturally
greater excitement produced at home
by the great political interests of
our count:y-we are convinced, we
say, that the public sentiment must
be in France, keeping the proper
proportion in mind, almost the same
as we have observed III New York
Napoleon III. died at Sedan, two
years ago; the phantom of Chisel-
hurst no longer exists for France,
and it is only by an illusion easily
entertained by handful Of ambi-
tlous men, without existence and
without an echo, that there still ex-
lists, almost nominally, a Bonapor-
fist party. We have often said this
In reply to publications which have
appeared from time to time, and
which represented that party as
having an influence in the provin-
ces and within the army. No, not
even there, was there sympathy, or
affection, or respect, for the man
who sent France almost to ruin.
1t Is almost equally true 70 say that
there was scarcely hate or anger
against him, even among those by
whom he was most execrated. 1t
seems as If the oblivion Of death has
already passed over him; that which
remains of his memory has 10 more
authority, no more prestige, aud
the man who, during a quarter of a
century, filled the world with the
noise OF his name, found, before his
death, the strongest, if not severest,
chastisement which could attend
him-the chastisement of silence.
Without doubt history will learn,
one by one, all the acts of this reign,
and viii pronounce upon him an
impartial judgment; but the time
for collecting the sentiments of his
contemporaries, above all in the
midst of the tumult which surrounds
us, has not yet arrived. The death
is too near for the hour to be pro-
pitious for severe examinations, and
even we, who have had our share Of
abused confidence, believe it is our
duty to abstain for to-day from en-
tering upon the consideration Of
these twenty years OF fictitious
grandeur, which deserved to end in
such a terrible disaster.
