over $500, 900. He was an official in the
Baptist Church, and covered his trans.
actions with his professed piety The
Rev. Mr.. Parshall, the pastor Of the
church, learned of some OF his transac-
tons, and at once he plotted to ruin
him by accusing him of adultery. which
led to Parshall's leaving the pulpit.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8,-A Times Washing
ton special says the Committee on APP
preparations, after hearing DR.. Under
man, has about decided that instead OF
there being necessity for the establish
ment Of new mint in the West, almost
ageneral abolition of them could be made.
That at New Orleans will be among those
to be abolished, as we'll as that at Char
lotte. N. c.. and Boise city. At Carson,
Helena and Denver nothing but assay
offices are to be maintained, keeping no
other employees except Assayer Meter
and clerk. This arrangement will leave
but two mints, one OF Philadelphia and
the other at San Francisco. These minis
have capacity of one hundred and
twenty five millions, and as the capacity
of the country is but sixty millions, the
need of new minis is not established.
Linderman was before the committee
principally to ask for increased opportu.
mites at San Francisco, Carson and Phil.
adelphia, claiming them, on account Of
the increased coinage of silver under op.
erations of the resumption act. The ma.
jority OF the committee are hard money
men, and 1t will be seen that in this man.
ner the financial question will probably
get before the House before the action Of
the Ways and Means or Banking and
Currency Committees is presented.
The Committee on Territories has un.

admission of New Mexico and Colorado
and also one to change. the government
of Territories, 80 as to permit the people
to elect their own officers, instead o
having them appointed as now done b.
the general Government. These meas
ures have not been fully matured, bu
met with favorable consideration by tn,
committee, and will be reported in
short time.
The Tribunes st. Louis special say
there is a good deal of curiosity evincet
to know what is going to be the outcom
of President Grants personal appearance
on the witness stand in the Babcocl
case. There is no doubt but that the de
Tense is counting largely upon tn
dramatic effect of his presence and ex
