The Coffee Trade Troubles.

The Coffee Trade Troubles.
 NEW YORK, Dec. S.-This morning J. Law renee McKeever, assignee of the great coffee house of B. G. Arnold $ Co.,, which failed yesterday, said he was not prepared to make any statement of the condition of the firm, as Arnold did not wish to have an imperfect statement given out, and it would be work of days to arrive at exact figures. Arnold he said, was confident that the house would pay every dollar of its indebtedness. From other good authority it was learned that the liabilities of B. G. Arnold 6 Co. were about $2, GOO, 900, of which from $60O, 900 to $8OO,- GOO were ''single name" paper. This unse- cured paper is distributed in small lots among the banks in this city and New Eng land. As to the firms assets it is roughly es- timated that they will show 8 surplus over liabilities of about $500, 900.
 On the application of Messrs. Kidder, Pea body & Co.,, of Boston and New York, agents of Barring Bros. & Co.,, London, an injunc- tion has been obtained restraining Bowie Dash & Go. and various warehousemen in this city from parting with any property be- longing to the estate of o. G. Kimball & Co.,, of Boston. These proceeding are to secure proper payment for about $50, 900 worth of coffee imported on credits of Kidder, Peabody & Go. and Barring Bros. & Co.,, and to pre- vent the using of such proceeds toward hqul- dating the debts of the recent coffee syndi- cate, which was composed of B. G. Arnold $ Co.,, Bowie, Dash & Co.,, o. G. Kimball & Go. and associates.
 A New Deal in PoIittcs-John Kelly to be
 Thrown Overboard.
 NEW YORK, Dec. S.-It reported to-day that arrangements have been perfected be- tween the Republican and anti-Tammany Democratic Aldermen whereby Mayor Coop er's nominations for city officers will be con- firmed, that John Kelly will be superseded by an anti-Tammany man as Comptroller, and the other offices will be divided equally be- tween the Republicans and anti-Tammany. It is reported that conference was held here, in which Senator Conkling and Vice President-elect Chester A. Arthur participat- ed when the arrangement was perfected. This will be great victory of the political enemies of John Kelly. It had been expect ed that Kelly would be able to prevent the confirmation of any successor nominated by Mayor Cooper, whose term of office expires Jan 1st, and that Mayor-elect Grace would reappoint Kelly as Comptroller The an- nouncement of ''deal'' creates great excite menf among local politicians

A Pleasant Surprise.

Last evening Mir. Herbert l.. Bradley, of the well-known firm of Hemingway & Brad ley, arrived at his residence, Hughes Place. to find the house and himself in the hands of portion of his numerous friends, among whom were many well known and promi- nent citizens of this city, North Haven and other places. The surprise was complete, and, as may be imagined, most pleasant evening ensued, varied by the presentation of an elegant bird cage with canary to Mrs. Bradley, Judge Blydenburgh most happily officiating. MT. Bradley suddenly found that his turn had come, and another bird cage carefully wrapped with paper was held forth. This surprise was also carried out to the en- tire satisfaction of the assemblage, especially when the occupant of the cage, live guinea pig, was disclosed to view, and chorus of the imitation mocking birds'' greeted the conclusion of Judge Blydenburgh's very hap py speech, by way of instructing the 'bird" in singing. A bountifuIly laden table was paid full attention to, and it was most enjoyable occasion.

Martin, of Deep River, read the scrip tures The Rev. MT. Samson, of New Ha- ven, gave the ordination prayer, and the Rev. MT. Stone, of Hartford, gave the right hand of fellowship. The charge to the congrega- ton was given in forcible manner by Rev. Dr. Stifer, of New Haven, and the Rev. B. 0. True. of Providence, formerly pastor of the church, delivered the charge to the pas tor Prayer was offered by the Rev. MT. Hanna, of PlantsTille.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Silver Refused in South Carolina, WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The first popular national obstacle that has been placed in the way of the silver dollar comes from South Carolina, which State was one of the fore
 most in demanding silver. The Treasury department was to-day informed that in Ches- ter, S. O., the banks refuse to receive silver certificates at par, and that as consequence
 the merchants and planters decline them. The bank takes action, it says, because it
 fears that the coinage of the silver dollar at
 the present rate would soon cause it's depreci-
 ation and consequently a depreciation of the certificates.
