CREsswELL's FAREWELL.
The Clerks of the PsstOmee Depart.
Mant ard sixth Auditors Offee SAP
Goodbye 10 their old Chief
OF she Department.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-At the close
of business to-day, the clerks of the
postoffice department and eixth audi-
tors office assembled to say goodbye to
POstmaster-G General CTesswell, and pre-
sented to him unanimous resolutions
expressive both OF their high esteem for
him as q man and OF their admiration
OF his official administration, which
they asserted had not been eXeelled by
the mCst distinguished of his predeces-
sors. In reply Mr.. Cresswell said ::
"The sight of their familiar faces and
this manifestation of their esteem, eX-
cited in him 3 feeling of sadness at sun
dering the ties which had bound him
and them together during more than
five years; but, although he relinquished
his position without single pique or
resentment, he left official life yolun-
tarily and without any regret. he ne yer
would have retired of his own yolitiOn,
as he had done, while any imputation
against him remained unanswered; but
this was no longer the case, and he felt
that he effected every reform which he
could hope to accomplish ty staying in
office until the close of the Presidents
term. He could now challenge any
banking or railroad corporation to show
3 proportional amount of business trans
acted with 8 proportionally small loss
in comparison with the business OF the
postoffiee department during his admin
sstration of its affairs" In conclusion,
Mr.. Cresswell bade farewell TO the bu-
reau officers and clerks individually, and
expressed q warm desire to meet any OF
them at all times as friends.
President Grant and party returned
to Washington this evening.

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
a GOssiderabIe FIur1g among the
Clerks Red action Of the Clerical
Force OF the Departments.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The treasury
department employees were considerably
agitRted to-day IN view of the conteIn-
plated reduction OF the force. Tho ladies
were particularly disturbed, and collect
ed in groups In various parts OF the
building discussing the sdhjeet. This
morning the heads of all the bus eaus
handed Secretary BristOw lists OF those
to be dismissed. The heaviest discharge
wss in tie bureau Of engraving and
printing, the services of three hundred
aud seven T-five female employees being
dispensed with, leaving twelve hundred
persons still employed in that bureau.
The scene of dismissal w8s marked by
sadness. Fourteen of those discharged
tainted when the announcement was
made to them, and physicians were
called to their assistance. Forty clerks
were dismissed from the second audi
tors Office, and other discharges will be
made tomorrow. twas recommended
by officers of the bureau that only one
Of a family be retained, and this recon-
mendatiOn wis generally followed. This
wholesale discharge will cause much
suffering, which, however, will be some
what aileviated by the payment Of two
months extra salary to every victim of
congressional economy. About twenty
five permanent and the same number
of temporary clerks were discharged
from the interior department. This in.
cludes the contraction of the force in
the patent Office. The appropriation for
that bureau having been reduced twen-
ty thousand dollars, the commissioner
has accommodated his business to the
circumstances, although he shows that
the government will lose largely by the
eurtailment of the expenditures.

sAILwAx MATTERS.
RA@sBay HAlngers at Chicago Discuss
snE Iowa and Wisconsin Kali
way Laws, ste.

CEICAGo, June 30.-The managers Oi
the railroads leading from this city
thI0Ggh Iowa are discussing the Iowa
railroad law, which is similar to that OF
Wisconsin. The Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy; Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific; Chicago and Northwestern, aud
Illinois Central, viii be seriously affect
ed By the law. 1t is certain the roads
will take some joint action. The Chi
cseO and Northwestern; Chicago and
Rock Island, and Pacific roads, will is
sue freight tariffs to correspond with the
new law. This line of action the other
roads will probably adopt. The new
passenger rates will be three cents per
mile. The managers of the roads at
the meeting yesterday failed to agree on
the course to be pursued in regard to this
feature, and at present the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific road will submit
TO the law, and the other roads will con-
tinue their present rates, ,exeep. TO points
where their lines compete with the Chi
cego, Rock Island and Pacific. The
latter company is bound by the terms OF
the extension of the line on their Iowa
grant 20 submit to whatever legislation
shall regulate the freight aud .8re tariff
The attorney-general gives his opinion
thss the law can be enforced, though it
is very loosely framed.

TEXAS.
The wheat and the OaGs CrOP-Eains
Needed at some POints-Emi-
grants Pouring in.

From an Occasional Correspondent
LAMAR COUNTY, June 25.-As this
part of Texas is about the best, or SIS gOoG
as any part Of it, its prospects to feed
ali who may wish to move to Texas
should be known first. The health Of
the country is good; our crops are late,
but there will be an average of corn and
cotton, and tolerably good wheat and
oats for 80 wet a season. Wheat will be
perhaps one dollar, -four three TO four
cents. Some say we have the best crop
we have had in five years. l hear that
about ClaIksville, Red river county, and
east into Arkansas, they need rain; from
there west for several counties they
have fine rains and fine crops. We are
having showers daily in different direc-
tions, which indicates plenty of rain on
our latest crops. If so we will make
more than an average, for our crops are
nearly all clean and in good condition,
with a large increase in wheat and oats,
and Hungarian and millet grasses. This
has been the hardest year have seen in
fifteen, and hope to never see another.
The past year has taught people lesson
NOT easily forgotten-tO work corn and
wheat instead of cottOn-for this is the
best wheat and oats country l have ever
seen. 1 have some wheat in the field l
think will make twenty-five bushels
per acre; some will make thirty, al
though the estimate is fifteen to
eighteen. Emigrants are coming in
nearly every day, and there is plenty of
room yet. Perhaps this fall will be
good time to get homes in Texas, as
great many are offering lands for sale at
less prices and better terms than will be
again. Paris is improving fast, among
other Improvements there being fifty
thousand-dollar courthouse.

SER-I have received your letter OF the
twenty-fourth instant. My construction
OF the act of June 20, 1874, in reference
TO the reserves Of the rational banks, is
that the reserve upon circulation is abol-
ished, but that the national banks are
required to keep reserve upon deposits,
as provided in sections thirty-one and
thiPty-twO of the national bank act,
certain proportion of which must be
kept on hand and a certain other pro-
portion with their reserve agents in the
cities enumerated in the section referred
20. The banks are also required 10 keep
an amount equal to five per cent. of
their circulation on deposit with The
treasurer of the United States, which
amount may be deducted from the ag
gregate amount of the reserve required
to be kept upon deposit. Very respect
fully,

Your article few days ago mentioning
2 runor Of threat, from some source,
that there would probably be oolters, or
Independents, after the convention, only
goes to show to ghat base and selfish
ends some individuals will resort for
their aggrandizement. Certainly no
gentleman, who goes before that con-
vention and fails TO secure his nOmina-
ton, will, after pledging himself to
abide by the action Of the convention,
be guilty of such . breach of trust, for
his puny efforts wonld receive that con-
demDation they wo1ld so justly merit.
We don't believe there is a candidate
bBse enough tc 60 it. The country
wants a winning ticket, made up OF sii
the natiOnalities except the negro-good,
sound men of integrity and business
qualifications-ard with such an one,
those on the "DeTtlett platform" will
have the pleasure NJ seeing their entire
ticket, from sheriff down, elected by
handsome majority the first Thursday
in August.
