The very intelligent correspondent OF the
New York Herald, writing from Washing

" foolish and ridiculous fears, but the appa-
"a rition of the Grant movement in the senate
d" justlfies them, and ought to secure for their
a. aims the support of all judicious voters.
a. The spirit of the Republican leaders in the
Z" senate shows that it is high time, for the
" security and peace of the country, to have
a change of parties. Like the Democratic
party Of 1860, these men have been too

" unpairiotic ambition"

The New York World is really cruel.
Every day it has from quarter to half a
column of short, indeed very brief, extracts
from its Democratic cotemporaries in all
parts of the Union utterly scouting the idea
of the nomination of Tilden for the Presi-
dencY. Reading these, the conclusion is
forced upon even the dullest mind that the
old man of Gramercy park is played Iout
beyond any power to revive him.

The department of state has received a

APPROPRIATIONS.
The house committee on appropriations
this morning rejected, by a party vote, the
various amendments offered by the Republi
can members, and instructed Mr.. Atkins, the
chairman, to report the two bills providing
for the judicial expenses of the government.
THE TRADE-DoLLAR BILL.
The finance committee, this morning, by
majority vote, made several important
amendments in the house bill providing for
an exchange of trade for legal-tender silver
dollars, and decided that its further conside-
ration should be postponed until next De-
cember, with the understanding, however,
that the bill and amendments are then to be
reported to the senate as soon as practicable.
The principal amendment adopted to-day
provides that the exchange of legal-tender
dollars for trade-dollars shall be at the
market value" CT the latter Regarded as
bullion" and not sat par" as provided by
the house bill. The committee also struck
out the house proviso ''that the trade.dollars
received under this act shall not be counted
as part of the coinage of silver required by
the act of February %, 1878" The vote on
the question of adopting these amendments,
and also on postponing the report until next
December, was as follows; Yeas, Senators
Bayard, Herman, Morrill, and Ferry; nays,
Senators Wallace. Voorhees, and Beck. SEN
ators Allison and Jones New were paired.
The principal reason for not reporting the
bill at this session is to preclude the POSSIBLE
ity Of the Warner silver bill being moved as
an amendment in the senate in advance of a
completed consideration and report of that
measure.

DAVID Day, Postmaster.
The work, only snadowed in the above
figures, is performed by the postmaster and
twelve clerks. Besides this number, for the
general mail service, local and centerinp
here, there are ten carriers and about forty
route agents. The latter are under the SUI
pervision of chief head clerk of the rail-
way mail service. A careful perusal
OF the above figures show that
an enormous business is transacted
in the postoffice. In the money order de-
partment nearly two million dollars was
handled. Of this amount, nearly one-hal
was paid to holders of money orders in this
city. When it is considered that the money
order averages about $14 in amount, it can
readily be surmised that considerable clerica
labor is required to transcribe, ETC., the
thirty thousand orders.
Under the head of 'sincome'' the exhibit is
made, after deducting all expenses, of a net
profit to the government of $48, ,519.O7 In
other words, the st. Paul Office is a PAVING
one to the postal department..
Another noteworthy fact is connected with
the registry division. The total number of
received, ETC., is stated at S7,455; and it ia
reckoned that each letter represents the yalue
of 300.
The summary of the whole report is that a
most creditable showing is made for ST.
Paul. The statement can be taken as an
index of the business done in st. Paul: in
all departments an increase over the pre-
ceding year is shown. The great majority
OF the letters are business letters and rea-
sonlng from analogy or by comparison it
oan be readily supposed that these reliable
statistics have comparative exhibit in all
lines of business in the city.

The Runaway Trip of the Fifteen Year OF
Son of Ex-Gov. Marshall.

- az ss5 ATlp Oh the Fifteen Year Old
Son of Ex-Gov. Marshall.
The son of ex-Goy. Marshall, fifteen wears
OF age, took sudden departure from home
Friday night. The boys name is George,
and towards evening of the day named, he
visited the Union ticket Office on the corner
of Third and jackson streets, and purchased
second class ticket to Chicago.
When he purchased his ticket he was ac-
companled by two companions of his own
age; they proposed to go with him. but
somehow had not been able to raise enough
money, as he had. The FIGHT Of
the boy was discovered yester-
day morning, and the telegraph
was brought into requisition to catch him
and bring him back home. Friends in Mil
Waukee were communicated with. and thav
put watch on the train. When il arrived
yesterday George wasn't aboard. This in
formation was sent to his distressed parents
here, and they and friends have arrived at the
oenef or hope that George has repented of
his folly, stopped off at La Crosse. and
Will return home in a few days. No reason
can be assigned for the youngsters esca-
paoe. HIS home relations are of the most
pleasant description. Tha only insight that
ca be gotten into his conduct is. that he has
been devoting lis time and talents lately to
reading WALLER back Iterature,'' and his
youthful mind may have became imbued
with desire for adventure.
