OFFICIAL CHANGEs.-The Herald's cor
respondent says the new Secretary of the
Treasury has scarcely had time to be-
come familiar, to say nothing Of the de.
tails of the department, than it is re-
ported he is tired of the task, and finds
it uncongenial to his tastes.
1t is understood that Attorney General
Williams will accept the Russian Mis-
sion, more on account Of the health Of
his wife than any other consideration.
General Bristow would gladly accept
the Office of Attorney General in prefer
ence to remaining where he is.
The Presidents preference for Secre-
tary of the Treasury is Hugh McColloch,
to whom the President says the country
is more indebted than to any one else,
for instituting the plan of gradual retire.
ment Of the legal tender circulation, and
approach to specie payment.
Secretary Bristow, in conversation
yesterday, said he would cheerfully ex-
change his present position for that OF
Attorney General, and that so far as the
report referred to him, he had nothing
to deny about his successor. He did not
believe McCulloch would be the man.

WILD CATAMoUNT CHAsE.-Those who
have ever visited the Agricultural Park
will remember the monstrous wild cat
on exhibition among the collection of
birds and animals, and his feroclous be-
havior when any one approaches his
cage. On one or two occasions, persons
who incautiously ventured near the bars
have been pretty badly clawed, for the
movements of the beast are as quick rs
lightning. With his ears set back level
with his head aud his eyes flashing fire,
he makes sudden spring forward,
dashes his paw through the palings, and
woe to the arm or coat OF man or the
shawl of an unfortunate lady that comes
within his reach. He is considered SO
dangerous that Matt. Bean, the proprie-
| tor OF the track, has concluded to keep
him no longer, and on tomorrow after
noon he will be turned loose in the mid
die OF the race track and hunted by
dogs. The chase is free for all dogs Of
whatever size and breed, and as the cata'
mount is fifty pounds in weight and e1
tremely fierce, rare sport is expected

wAsuNGToS. July 2s.-The Secretary
of the Treasury to-day concluded the
sale of the balance of the five per cent.
loan with August Belmont on behalf of
Rothschild & Sons. of London, and /.

COMMISSION. We learn that the re-
mainder of the new five per cent. loan
has been contracted for by Rothschild &
Sons and their associates There is one
part of the transaction that looks very
odd, and that is that the parties are to
receive quarter of one per cent. COM
mission, which on Sl70, 900, 900 amounts
to 1925, 200. As the parties were con-
tracing directly with the Government,
it looks singular that commission
should have to be paid. Is Bristow up
to any little dodge already?
