GoINd TO RESIDE IN CAMDEN. - Stephen Pos
ties the senior member of the firm Of Stephen
Postles Sons, morocco manufacturers, of this
city, will, in a few days, with his family remove
to Camden, Delaware. whore they intend to re-
side in the future No change will be made in
the firm as at present constituted. This action
on the part of Mr. Postles has been taken in
view OF the failing health of his wife, and also
from long matured desire to retire from active
business. He has purchased the handsome re-
sidence formerly belonging to HUM Jenkins,
and more latterly occupied by Hon. ]. Clancy
Jones.
Mr.. Postles will be missed from the active cir
Gle of business men OF Wilmington, and more
especially from the society OF the Union NJ. L.
Church, OF which he was a leading member,
class leader, and for many years Treasurer of
the Board Of Stewards.

SUyIUS IN THE COLORADO
MOUNTAINS.
From the Central City Register.

A startling piece of news has just come
to hand ; no less than minute Gescrip-
ton, by more than one credible witness,
of volcano bursting forth few miles
north of US. We were inclined at first to
doubt the statement, but it comes so
straight, and the story is so we'll told,
that it seems there must be something in
it. The facts are, that last Thursday,
Burke, reliable man Of this place, was
out prospecting near the head OF the
North Boulder. your correspondent
having been over that country, is pre-
pared to testify that in ages past volcanic
eruptions must have been common.)
Our prospector saw smoke at a distance,
which he at first attributed to a lire in
the woods. But second thought convin-
ced him that was not possible, as its
locality was far above timber line. So,
with the usual zeal or a prospector for
something new, he clambered up and
down and over several ridges of the
main range, until arriving at the place,
he found himself at the edge of verita-
bic crater. The place had evidently
once been the scene of great and long
continued volcanic action, for there was
plainly to be traced the rim of q prehis-
toric crater about one mile in diamater.
Within the ancient bowl and near the
edge the young volcano had commenced
operations It did not emit violently
while he was there, but contented itself
with an occasional spasm, the rest of
the time smoking as pleasantly as an
old tobacconist. But the best proofs of
his story are bits Of lava, evidently OF
recent origin, and several humps of SEQ
ria. These are now being handed about
among the boys, and are regarded with
as much curiosity and interest as is even
manifested in the last rich Strike A
large party will start from here in few
days, determined to authenticate or dis
prove the matter. Several men have al
ready been there, and al return with lava
trophies.

IT is said that the new Secretary of
Treasury has found it quite difficult to
retain his nervous equilibrium about
the operations of Wall street. There
is apparently a trial of strength
between the Wall street gentry and
the new Secretary, and it rather seems
the former have the advantage
Before Richardson got warm in his
seat, Wall street started gold on the
rise. The Secretary had some gold
on hand and some greenbacks, but
unfortunately Wall street could calcu-
late his resources as accurately as he
could himself.
If he drew on the forty-four mil
lions reserve i'll greenbacks, it would
only have the effect to send gold still
higher. And if he began to pay the
May interest, due in gold, amounting
to about SIT, 900, 200, Wall street could
get away with that sum without much
difficulty. The operators could safely
calculate on twenty or twenty-five
of gold going to Europe with
the tide OF tourist before the first of
June.
1T is said to be the general convic-
ton III Washington City, that Wall
street has taken the measure of Rich
ardson and his resources, and has
determined to bag him.

WEST New BRIGHToN, \. Y. March Is.
My DEAR S1R As the circnmstan-
COS under which scver;d important APP
pointmcnts have been recently made
seem to me to show an abandonment
of both of the spirit and the letter Of
tue civil service regulations, I respect
fully resign my position as member
of Che Advisory Board of the Civil
Service. In doing SO [ beg to assure
Won of my warmest wishes, and Of the
continuance of my most earnest efforts
for the success of your administration.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.
His Excellency the President.
Curtis evidently loves Grant, loves
him with love passing that Of wo-
man. No other inference can be drawn
from the expression of his 'warmest
wishes for the success of an Admins
tration'' that indicated within two
weeks after the Inauguration " the
abandonment, both in letter and spirit,
of the Civil Service regulations.
No love but that of Curtis for Grant
would enable man to wish well to
one who had strungled the pet bant-
/ ling of his brain.
The Baltimore 1mc/ican, a leading
: Radical sheet, looks at the matter from
a different stand point. It neither feels
nor pretends to feel any grief for the
dead issue. Indeed, it gloats over its
decease with q Joy quite unconoealed
and quite unseemly in IT'S display on
SO solemn all occasion.
The -4ntcrican says
We do not care straw, and never
did, for Civil Service Reform. Indeed
we always regarded it as unsuitable tt

ina POST That it finds itself unable
to work kindly in the traces affords
not the slightest evidence, however,
that it has any purpose to kick. The
Post mas q wonderful facility i'll know

of It's Boston Republican cotempora-
rics. the .4drcJf;Sc1 and GiObc, about
civil service reform and the causes that
led to the resignation of Mr.. Curtis,
the late Chief of the Civil Service Com
mission. The Post concludes its last
utterance in the controversy i'll the fol
lowing words, cutting right and left and
at whatever comes III its way 1t says:
We are not disposed to be captious
in this discussion, and perhaps we
could expect nothing else of news
papers which have the Buffers and the
Ameses for representatives than that
they should question everybOGys mo-
tiyes of action. But nothing can be
gained by concealing disagreeable
facts. and if bad appointments have
been made the fact should be made
known, for the information of the
President, as well as the public We
have hope of civil service reform, and
50 far as the principle has been applied,
even ii only to minor offices, we are
grateful, but We cannot disregard the
fact that some recent appointments
have been practically an abandonment
or suspension of the reform. and that

honor demanded of him, Is II sad dis
