S. Circuit Court this afternoon Of de-
tanning letters. Field had habit of
carrying home letters instead of deliver
ing them; it is presumed for embezzling
the contents. His defense is that he was
subject to hemorrhage of the lungs, which
prevented him from delivering letters
That he carried them home with the in
tention Of delivering them when his con-
dition improved.

The temperance crusade excitement
seems so be dying away throughout
New England. The great expectations
that were cherished by the crusaders at
the results of the movement in Worres-
ter have been utterly disappointed; and
though meetings are frequently held
there the raids on saloons have ceased.
The same is true of other cities and
towns where the movement has gained
any Roadway, In this city tie temper
ance question is in statu quo; 1t has been
discussed as usual in the Legislature, but
no action has been taken on the several
bills introduced. The sale of liquor is
as open as that of peanuts, and Parker's
and Young's hotels are crowded every
night with thisty politicians discussing
the chances of the Senatorial candi-
dates,-[ Boston Correspondence sacra.

Eastern DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, April 23-Reports, not,
however, traced to an official source, con-
tinue to prevail of Secretary Richard
sons speedy retirement from the Treas
ury, and in this connection, it is asserted
by some that foreign mission will be
rendered him, as two, that of Berlin and
Vienna, will soon be vacant 1t is also
reported that he has been rendered the
vacant Judgeship in the Court of Claims,
but an interview with the Secretary
to-day failed to confirm the report. Sew
eral Senators openly declared that in the
event of Richardson's retirement, who
ever is appointed to succeed him will
undergo close scrutiny in the Senate.
The report on the Sanborn contracts
was privately read to the Ways and
Meanes Committee tonight, and ordered
printed. The Committee will examine
several more Witnesses who have been
sent for.
The Secretary of War has telegraphed
to the Commandant at Little Rock to
withdraw his forces to the arsenal as
soon as the danger of bloodshed is over
and leave the matters to be settled by the
contestants between themselves or the
courts.
LITTLE Rock, April 23.-Brooks this
morning refused to recognize johnson,
Secretary of State, WIN was ordered by
him to vacate and surrender his Office on
the grounds of Johnson signing Bakers
proclamation last night converting the
Legislature. Johnson addressed Brooks
two letters, stating his position and the
the necessity of his possession of the
office. Brooks denies Baxter's authority
to convene the Legislature. The people,
however, are generally satisfied with this
means of settling the difficulty. Brooks
this morning announced to the troops
his determination of holding the State
House regardless Of the consequences.

SECRETARY RIcHARDsoS.-The oft men
toned rumor that Richardson is about to
resign is again repeated, with the addi-
ton that be is 10 be offered mission to
either Berlin or Vienna. We suppose
that is either bride to get out of the
way, or else reward for one Of the most
incompetent officers that has ever filed
the high and important position of Sec
rotary Of the United States Treasury. 1t
is very amusing to notice that the tele-
grams say that when his successor is
nominated, the most searching inquiry
will be made into his qualifications for
the office. That looks considerably like
locking the stable door after the stud is
gone.

The feeling abroad, as shown by our
kilograms. seems TO be unanimous in
commenting the action of the President
in vetoing the Currency bill, The effect
in the great money centers of Europe
will be to greatly appreciate American
securities, and that of itself will help a
return to q cash basis. We have but
little fear the currency mongers in the
House or Senate will find enough sup
porters to pass the bill Notwithstanding
the Presidents objections. We believe
they dare not attempt it seriously. the
feeling of vast majority OF the people
is SO decidedly against it and has been
so unmistakably eyinced.

The inundation of the lower Missis-
sippi is very serious affair. Anyone
acquainted with the vast area of swampy
lowlands lying between lakes Pontchar-
train, Maurepas and the Mississippi,
must know that when these overhows
occur it becomes like an inland sea, in
which houses, cattle, and frequently the
inhabitants are swept away like so many
chips. This disaster must cause great
suffering and distress, and when to that
is added the unhappy social and political
condition of that section, it affords q
gloomy prospect indeed.
