FLOATING s1uHIEa CORRECTED.
Tho trial and acqultal of o1-Clty Treasurer
David Gage has had tho effect Of bringing him
once again prominently before tho eyes Of tho
public and Of starting number Of ru'nors re-
garding his fntnro intentions. Ono of tho
rumors was to tho offoct That tho ex-City Treas
uror was negotiating with Dir. Frank Vent
worth, Of
THE SIBERIAN HOUSE,
with view Of their forming copartnorahtp
which would undertake tho running Of TINT hotel
after tho lat OF January next. a TRIBUNE TO-
portcf called yesterday upon Mr. Frank Vent
worth to azcersaln if thcro was any truth ip tho
runor, and was informed by that gentleman that
not only was tho report unfollndcti, but TINT ho
had mover in tho world spoken to Air. Gage with
scgnrd to the Sherman House. It was trno That
Dir. Gago called onco or twicn week upon him,
aud together they had long conversations, but
their talk was purely private IN its nntnrc. 4
day or two ago, whom Afr. Gage came back from
Waukegnn, he called OIL Mr.. Wentworth, mud.
after a.king to be congratulated Oh tho result of
lis visit there nude tito ron1ark Frank. wlsi,

Mr. Wentworth said TINT hardly week passed
without his having aono Ecws atons y chanBo IN
the management of tho houHe, but ho knew Of
no foundation for them.
ANOTHER RrstoR,
which is mentioned only to pnt t. stop to 1t at
once, was to tho otEcct thai alr. Guge intended
to contest tho Legality Of tho transfer Of his
property 10 tho city on thu ground Of his acqut-
tai. THE TRIBUNE reporter SAtlcd to lind Mr.
0ago to got any authoritative denial from him,
hut did hape short conversation with Mr.
George Taylor, tho Trustee Of tho property ILL.,
der tho doed to tho city, vino STATED th.t TIM NO.
quittai Of lIr- Gage did not infect tho forco Of
tho transfer i'll the EliSllscat 1eyreo. Tho decd
of trust was m irrevocablo otle, being a power
coupled with TN Interest," similar in all respects
to Ell ordinary trustdeed given to secure MI iu-
debtedness. and tho Trustco had uo right to re-
leaBs o1cept upon payment Of tho debt. Llr.
TAYLOR WIS Of thp opinion TINT 1t tho City

POLITICAL.

1t is stated that the Democratic Senators
are not pleased with the tone of the speeches
at the Manhattan reunion. AS they have not
been able to discover that the speeches in
question had any tone at all, we feel that it is
only an act of justice to the Manhattanites to
say that this dissatisfaction is altogether un-
reasonable. albany Journal.
The Chicago Times is not so enthusiastic
over the late Manhattan Club gathering as
some other Democratic newspapers. 1t
speaks of it disrespectfully calls it "a gather
ing of the dead,""a kind ofa love feast among
some ancient skeletons from the graveyard
of the ancient Bourbon party and says,
the assembled skeletons shook one another's
bony hands, smiled as skeletons are wont to
do, and ratified their old bones in forced glee-
fulness over the drawn battles in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut which it pleased them
to call Democratic victories" 1t also speaks
of "the putrid Renaissance styled the Demo-
cratic party" and in various ways hints at a
state of feeling not entirely friendly to the
corpse.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

Gen. Shermen has obtained the Presidents
permission to remove the headquarters Of the
Army to St. Louis.
The bill for the relief of the Northern Pa
cic Railroad Company which was introduced,
last Monday, was brought up for considera-
ton at the meeting of the Committee on Pa
ci6c Railroads, Thursday. All the members
of the committee were not in attendance, but
those present deemed it best not to take any
action on the bill at this time, and it was con-
sequently postponed. There is a strong feel.
in the House againstlegislation of this char
acter at the present session, and it is difficult
to find any considerable number of members
who will pledge themselves to support this
bill. The probabilities are that the committee
will not report it, Those having it in charge
say they do not expect concurrent action, this
session, but would like to get it through at
least one house.

the company do not call it butter. but only

what it is. The more we see of it the less
we fear it, as rival to real good, fresh,
sweet dairy butter. Yet we enjoyed our
visit, and were sorry the time was so short.

We once knew a fellow who went into
a small speculation out of which he came
with less money than he started with.
When reminded of his loss he declared
that he didn't care a-continental for the
deficiency, for he had the fun of doing the
business and that was worth something.
We take it the infationists in Congress
who have taken pains to put the finance
bin in such shape that the President will
be obliged to veto it, will find their profit
as the pumpkin Spectator did-in doing
the business. Surely they could not ex-
pect to accomplish anything by sending
another imitation bill to the President, and
SO it must be that the fun of doing the
thing pays them.
