GEN. -. III. LAGEANGE.-The VI ASH
-zcton correspondent os the San tran-
CISCO Post relates the following:
During the late financial panic Cen
cral La Orange went among the bank
,,.s and told them that lie would ad-
vance out Of the bullion fund on what
ever gold anu silver in their possession,
coin up to within ten per cent of the
ASSAY value. In doing so, he prob
abIv did more to avert the panic than
al other men or combination Of men
. California. That he stretched his
official authority i doubtless true. but
taat the end justified the means is uni
=ersallv admitted to be equally true.
Or. I.inderman. Dir ector Of the nited
states MINIS, was not pleased with this,
and frankly told the General so, upon
which he quietly wrote Out his resig-
nation and placed il i'll Senator Sar-
GENT. hands upon his departure FOR
Washington in October last. Dr. Lin
herman called on Senator Sargent.
stated his objections and requested the
senator to name 4 successor. The
matter being laid before Secretary
.rI~tow. caused 4 pondenco 10
1egIu between that gentleman and
