SILVER AND FINANCE.


The administration, in speaking Of the
finances, was pleased to cay that he had
given the silrer question . good deal of
careful reelection, and deemed 1t his duty In
bis coming message to Congress, to recom-
mend the demonstration of silver, and allu-
ded with pride and satisfaction to the new
contract with the Syndicate for the sale Of
the four per cent. bonds, as It was evidence
OF the faith and confidence, displayed by the
greatest dnanciers in the world, IN the
strength Of our republic, and all the efforts
OF the Cabinet would be to shape such q
policy in the future as to encourage and
continue this confidence, thereby restoring
our former commercial activity.
THE LOUISIANA Ex-MARsHAL.
The sudden and unexpected turning out
of U, s. Marshal Pitkip, of New Orleans
provokes very malicious criticism on the
Administration Pitkins temper is up to
"white heat" and still a boiling, and he
swears that when the action of Mr.. Hayes
suspendisg him from Office, comes up for
review by the SeEate, . bitter fight will en-
cue, as well as the exposure Of (at presently
suppressed facts that will make Mr.. Hayes
werp with anguish, and at the sametime
defoat his action. Col. Wharton the sue.
cessor of Pitkin lefs last Tuesday with bis
commission freshly signed aud will take
possession of the Marshl's Office immedi-
ately upon the filing Of his bond, $50, 1000.
ooNKLINs NoN-coMMITTAL.
During Senator Conkllng's visit here, he
did not call at the White House, nor did he
meet "the President," and has most as
suredly made no recommendations for Press
idential favors, preferring to leave himself
perfectly free to support or oppose the adj
mtnistration when Congr sss meets. His
visit to our city was merely to obtain his
passport to Europe, through the subordi-
mates of the State Department, as bis rela-
tions with Secretary Evarts prevent his per- |
sonal intercourse with with that gentle,
man.
MR.. HAYES ON CARPET-BAGGERs.
The administration, whilst denying that
he ever used the term "carpet- -bagger," at
the same time announces that It would not |
be part of his policy to appoint to office
Northern men who went to the South |
merely for the object of procuring Federal
positions.
OUR MEXICAN NEIGHBoRs.
A special messenger from our Minister at
Mexico, who arrived this week, brought
amount of dispatches, the gen.
eral purport of which are that, that Repub-
lie, Country, Kingdom, or whatever hind of
Government they have there, is full Of dis
sonted army officers, and the people are all
in state of unsettled, tumul:uous excite
nent, not knowing what 10 do, and when to
10 1t. Our Government here mill certainly
not recogE;zs Jose Maria Malta, who comes
IS the representative of Diaz, as he, Diaz,
Is unable to maintaia himself, while Ferdo,
his opponent, also seems TO be unable to
effect any stronghold upon the feelings Of
he populace.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR DUE.
SO far as accessibility to the White House
8 concerned, Mr.. Hayes deserves no little
praise. OF all Presidents, he is the most
accessible, and the most humble and ob-
'cure gain admittance 10 him without the
east difficulty, and their prayers, com.
plants, and petitions receive careful con-
'ideration, and he is 60 liberal in his duty
If office that he not only receives general
Visitors during the day, bet very often gives
lis evenings to them. ANDERSON, -af
