AN INCIDENT OF TIE REBELLION.

On the evening of the 1st of
April Mr.. Nicholy, the private Sec
retail of the President, brought me
package containing papers, in
structions, and executive orders of
q most extraordinary character.
One of them directed me to derach
Commodore Stringham, patriotic
officer who was on special duty in
the Navy Department where he
was employed in confidential trusts,
and send him to Pensacola. Com
modore Pendergrast, who had Just
arrived at Hampton Roads from
the West Indies with the Cumber-
land, was ordered to repair forth
with to Vera Cruz on account of
alleged complications. On the
Cumberland and Powhatan the
Navy Department was relying to
Cooperate with the military for the
protection of the Navy Yard at Nor
fox in case of difficulty. ALI these
orders relating to the navy were
Issued by the Secretary of State
without consultation with the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, or any Cabinet
consultation whatever. But the
most extraordinary and irregular if
not illegal order in that remarka-
BILE package directed a reorganiza-
ton of the Navy Department, and
the establishment of q new bureau,
in which / was commanded to place
in the most confidential relations,
where he should have knowledge
of all the important transactions of
the navy and Navy Department,
Samuel Barron, finished courtier
and shrewd secessionist. On look
ing over these documents it
was evident to me that the
President had been the victim
of misplaced confidence and was
sadly imposed upon, or that he was
as unfit for the office of chief execu-
tive as ia represented In the "Memo-
rial Address: I lost not 8 moment
in waiting upon him, and reading
to him these extraordinary papers.
He promptly and most emphaticaIly
disavowed them said that he had
hurriedly and without examination
signed q large number of papers
which had been brought to him by
Secretary Seward for a very differ
ent purpose, and which he had sup
posed was merely formal; that he
was not aware of their contents
had trusted entirely to Mr.. Seward
and whom he could he trust if not
the Secretary OF State? He request
cd me to return to him the orders
or treat them as utilities. The re-
suit was, no new bureau was organ
lied without law; Barron was not
taken into the confidence of the
Navy Department.. but soon desert
ed and was the first naval officer
captured in the rebel service
Stringham never went to Pensaco-
la nor Pendergrast again to Vera
Cruz, nor was there any complica-
ton that required it.-From Gideon
Wells reply to Adams, in Novem-
her Galaxy

FINANcIAL.-The N. Y. Times
says the question of general inter
est, payments in greenbacks and
national bank notes. is about to
solve itself. Most of the banks are
paying demands when practicable.
Some iirst-c!ass banks are not only
helping their neighbors to green
backs and sending currency 20 their
country correspondents, but they
are paying their debtors balances
at the clearing house in greenbacks
in place of relief certificates. The
common feeling is in favor of vol
untary general resumption of cur
rency payments in very few days.

A Coon SHowING.-Some person
who writes over the signature of
"KnickeFbocker" is contributing a
series OF able and interesting finan-
cial articles to the New York Times.
From the last one wo CLEAN some
important fg6rss. The highest
point reached by the public debt
was on the 3lst day of August, 1865.
when it was $2,757 $3.50, 57l43. The
October statement of Mr.. Secretary
Richardson states the total indebt-
edness on the 3lst of September,
1873, S2,I3s, 793, 1913 II. In both
statements the cash in the Treasury
is deducted. A total reduction in
eight years of S6lS 500, 573.26. The
history OF the finances of the world
shows no record of any such re-
markablc feat as this.
