GENERAL ITEMS.

SINCE the fall Of Smiler ColfaX and
the exposure of that %eminently good
man, Patterson OF New Hampshire,
who placed the sin Of holding Credit
Mobilier stock upon his wife's should
ers. the Y. NJ. c. A. has ~degenerated.
It's il,ustrious Pharisees, Harlan, POM
eroy,et al. have quilted politics, and the
Rev. DR.. Newman Is abroad inspect
ing japanese curioslties. So we are
not so shocked as might be expected to
read Of the slips Of Its less shining ex-
ponents. The latest comes from Co
lumbus, Ohio, where VIM. Regg, a
young lawyer think Of i) hitherto re-
garded as upright and Secretary Of the
Y. NJ. C. A., has been arrested for nu-
merous forgeries. Thus do the exam
Piles Of those high In Christian fellow
ship affect the rising generation.
SECRETARY Richardson, the great
financial light, who presides over the
Treasury Department of this nation,
has evolved another luminous idea.
Having "floated about $4,000 In sill
through his $5 resumption scheme, he
now announces that hereafter silver
coin will be paid only on fractional
parts Of a dollar, Instead of In sums not
exceeding five dollars. In other words
when bills are presented to the Treas
ury for payment the odd change will
be paid In silver instead of fractional
shinplasters. He does not state how
rapidly he expects to retire the $45,-
900, 900 of fractional paper rags now
aAoat, by this new method, but has,
doubtless, some wise plan incompre-
hensible to the average tlnancier.
Gov. OSBORNE Of Kansas, has APP
pointed Robt. Crozier Of Leavenworth,
United States Senator to I'LL the Cald-
we'll vacancy. The Leavenworth Times
regrets the appointment, and says :
He lever had a well defined position
In any political party and has never
been recognized In this city or this
State Is q leading Republican. In all
candor we say deliberately that we re-
gard the selection for the position Of
United States Senator as unfortunate
for the Republican party Of Kansas"
Crozier was Caldwell's attorney be-
fore the Senate Committee on Prlvi-
leges and Elections last Winter. Cald-
we'll, 1t will be remembered, resigned
to avert expulsion from the Senate.
SECRETARY RICHARDSON assures the
country that the Treasury Department
will be found ready to furnish money
to carry on a war il called upon. Has
the Secretary got some new machinery
for printing grcenbacks? Obviously
this Is the only method just now Of
raising money, as the Government is
now running in debt at the rate Of
g, 900. 0Oe per month. But the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury has a mind ca
pablo of solving the most abstruse
financial problems. Witness his IS
silver payment specie resumption
scheme.
The sum total Of Secretary Richard
sons specie payments, on the IS plan,
has been figured up. 1t has already
reached $1,000. He will announce to
Congress at what time the redemption
Of all legal tenders will be consum-
mated at this rate OF resumption.
The reelection Of Blaine to the
Speakership Of the House Of Rep
resentatives, Is generally conceded BY
Congressman arriving in Washington.
ABOUT 1886. 900, 900 Of U. s. Treas
ury notes are now In circulation. The
amount Of National bank notes afioat'
exceeds the above.
SENATORS Hippel-Mitchell and Ksl-
ly, of Oregon, have arrived in WASH
ington and taken houses for the Winter.
