PRESIDENT GRANT denies the report that he
has written q letter favorable to the issue of
the IA, 00O, 900 currency reserve. This money,
he states positively, will be used for no other
purpose than to meet the current expenses of
the Government. :. A statement of the opera
tons of the free postal delivery system for
the year ending June so, 1873, has Just been
made, which shows that the letter-carriers,

friends declare that he has sufficient docu-
mentary evidence to prove conclusively that
the Long Branch scandal, involving his repu-
tation and the wife of another man, was with
out foundation The husband of the woman
it IL said, is willing to testify that there was
nothing wrong done, but that his wife was
merely placed under Senator Carpenters pro-
lection" The receipts of conscience money
for the past fiscal year amounted to $4,000
against $4,000 for 1872. This leads to the
conclusion that there is a stringency in the
conscience market. The important an
nouncement is made from Washington that
Secretary Richardson has decided t. begin
paying out silver for greenbacks or fractional
currency, dollar for dollar. The amount ready
to put afoat is between $3.50, 900 and $500, coo.

1T is stated that at no distant day an impor-
tant order will be issued removing all Federal

coast. "A Washington correspondent states
that Government Architect Mullett will take
strong ground against the practice of ordering
public buildings in so many small cities At
the last session such buildings were authorized
in various parts of the country, but fortu-
nately by oversight, no appropriation was
made for quite q number of them, and an
effort will be made to have the authority given
repealed. 1t is stated that President Grant
will recommend to Congress the issue of
