Railway and miscellaneous speculation has
been characterized by buoyancy. Loan trans
actions have been unusually large for the

expended in supporting numerous schemes In

have long since collapsed.
Voluntary liquidation has been long urged
by the shareholders of the bank.

A boston SYMPOSIUM.

The wise men Of Boston enjoy nothing 81
much as getting together and expressing
Their views ON things in general. One VI the
pecnliaritles Of these meetings is that the
speakers who talk the most, make the bong
est speeches, are pretty sure 10 be the very
men who have the opportunity to publish
their views elsewhere, and do not fail TO inn
prove 1t. They are preachers and writer's,
lecturers and other professional utterers of
opinion.
one would suppose that such persons, when
they rested from their ordinary labor, would
seek recreation in change Of occupation.
ana that the thought of keeping up the same
routine would be repulsive TO them. But
these Boston takers seem to take delight in
making speeches, preaching sermons. and
reading essays to each other, as well as To
the outside world, for which it Is their bust
ness to grind out opinions. They meet at
private houses and spend whole evenings
thus formally discoursng, without showing
any symptoms of boing bored.
1t isn't as il they assembled to discuss
some practical question of public impor-
lance, or, as men of science do, TO exchange
facts and report experiments. They hold

The Treasury Secret Service.

To start the new year pleasantly JOIN
SHERMAN has taken the management and
appointments Of the Secret Service Bureau
into his own hands. and transferred the
management OF this detective force from
the Office Of the Solicitor Of the Treasury
over TO his own office. This change has been
made at the very time that an investigation
had been ordered by one Of the committees
OF the House into the cost, the practices,
and the results Of an odious system, which
Is disgrace to the Government and an
outrage upon free institutions.
1t was proved in the investigation of the
District of Columbia in 1874 that the princl-
pal persons connected with this service
had been regularly employed by the
Washington Ring to set up the safe
burglary job that the public money was
used Tor that purpose, and that there was
no accountability, worthy Of the name, for
the sums expended by these detectives. The
Chief drew what amount he pleased, and
his own receipts We're tho vouchers upon
which the accounts passed, with the APP
proeal Of the Attorney-Goueral
These detectives swore deliberately at
that time that they had no connection of
any kind with the safe burglary, though
various responsible witnesses had proven
their own employment as subordinates and
their rate OF pay, and the specific duties
they performed, in connection with that in
famous conspiracy under the direction of
this bureau. When RICHARD HARRINGTON
was tried as one Of the consprators, the
very same detectives went upon the stand
