life are spoken Of. From the latest indi-
cations the places will all be filled by
Administration Republicans, if enough of
them can be found. If the secretary ever
intended to make his reorganization nom
partisan he has evidently reconsidered that
intention. What he or his chief expects To
gain in the face of the fall elections, by
further dividing their party is hard to tell.
1t is said that Government employees here
will be paid for the month of July in solid
gold and silver money. This will be the
first time since 1851, and it is safe to sayt that
many veteran clerk will celebrate on
August lst the return of the "good old
tines But the purchasing power of the
greenback is the same as of gold, and the
change will be interesting rather than i'm
portant.
Republican papers, no doubt from the
best and most disinterested of motives, have
tried to create an impression that Voorhees,,
of Indiana, would not be elected his own
successor to the United States Senate.
There has been no doubt of his election
among well-informed men, and the indica-
tons now are that no other Democrat will
be mentioned in the Legislature.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.--The treasurer Of
the United States is preparing list Of
United States repositories for the purpose
OF sending one to each national bank
throughout the country. Attached to these
lists will be the necessary information
for obtaining standard silver dollars in ex-
change for greenbacks, etc. Any bank or
individual wanting silver dollars in any
reasonable amount for Legitimate purposes
will find no difficulty in the way of obtain
ing them. AS authoritatively stated in
these dispatches last night, every means will
be used by the government to wipe out the
remaining premium on gold and bring
about a state Of practical resumption. In
addition to the plans already announced in
these dispatches it can be stated that silver
and gold certificates will be issued by the
several minis in payment for gold and silver
bullion. A clause in the legitimate ap-
preparation bill authorizes this to be done.
1t is believed that large amount Of these
certificates can be thus placed within the
next few months and that they will become
a favorite circulating medium among those
who find it inconvenient to handle stand
ard silver dollars or gold coin.
DEMAND FOR FOUR PER CENTS.
Owing to numerous applications for reg

TONS the Treasury has been unable, with
all the clerical force which could be EN-
ployed thereon, to fill orders as rapidly as
received. Purchasers of bonds should un-
derstand, however, that the interest willrun
from the date Of payment for the bonds, and

Of the suddenly increased orders will result
in no loss or injury. The department is US
ing every possible exertion, however, pre-
vent all delays in the future, and in few
days will probably be able to fill all orders
from their receipt.
EXCHANGING GOLD FOR SILVER.
The Director of MINIS received dispatch
to-day from the Superintendent of the Mint
at San Francisco, stating that since the lst
inst. 100000 silver dollars have been ex-
changed at that mint at par for gold coin.
