EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, March As IT
is weli-nigh certain that the rela-
ton in value between gold and
silver is speedily to be settled by
an international agreement, to
which the United States will be a
party, it seems most idle for a few
bigoted and inhammatory writers
to 90 all over the silver debate
again, especially when no conclu-
sion can be reached beyond the
reiteration Of individual opinions.
The shafts aimed at Secretary
Window in this connection have
not wounded very deeply, and the
journals which sent them at him
are now prodigal in the space they
are devoting to extracts from hiS
speeches In the senate to convince
their readers that they have been
attacking him unjustly. How
would ii do for some OF our great
journals to abandon their oracular
and Padsnappian habit? They
would be less amusing, but more
respectable. There is something
so supremely ludicrous in their
airy orders issued and rebukes adj
ministered to Presidents, Cabinets,
and congresses. As the leader OF
great orchestra by a wave of his
baton stops this piccelo or subdues
that trombone or stirs up the big
bass-drum, so some great editor
fancies he can by a wave of his
hand or a stroke Of his pen bring
the unfortunate Cabinet Minister
he did not help to make to a
dinlinuendO between which and
silence nothing is, while vigorously
signaling his favorites in the gov
ernment, he hopes to induce from
them a creScendO, ending in onf
long fortiSSimo, which the world
will regard as his own performance

The accounts Of Thomas l..
James, late postmaster of New
York city, was rendered to Sixth
Auditor McGrew ON the morning
after Mr.. James assumed the
duties fpostmaster-general. They
were audited and adjusted within
twenty-four hours after their re-
ceipt, and found TO be correct to.a
cent. Nr. James ceased to be
postmaster on the 9th, and became
postmaster-general on the 9TH. So
he goes up higher now, with a
clean record and no balances
against him. This not only speaks
well of his integrity and business
ability, but the prompt settlement
is highly creditable to the auditor.
Hon. J. NJ. McGrew, the only
bureau officer now in service, and
it is said the only one ever in SER
vice; who has held all the grades
from first class clerk to chief
of the bureau. He has now been
in the harness some twenty odd
years, and has always been recog-
nized as one of the most efficient
and urbane of officials. There is
no doubt Of his retention in his
present position, unless he is call
ed up higher.

now commenced suit against Mr..
Schurz for 100000 damages re-
suiting from this disbarment. 1t
appears from the exhibits to be
filed in this case that Gilmore &
Co, at the time represented nearly
forty.seven thousand claimants,
over twenty five thousand of whom
were applicants for pensions, iu-
crease Of pensions, or arrears OF
pensions. The fees due the firm
are shown to be S2,164,9S6, and
this amount is claimed as damages
by Gen. Gilmore. He claims that
his clients have suffered in like
proportion as himself, because oI
the fact that their business ha:
been unnecessarily delayed by hi.
unjust debarment, without cause
and because Of prejudice. Thi,
suit will be pressed to a judgment
and among the issues to be decided
will be the question whether ar

the right exists, one is liable il
damages for its improper exercise

WASHING TON, Nov. 29.-Secretary Hunt
to-day gave out for publication the annual re.
ports of the bureau officers of the navy de-
partment for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1881. Chief English, Of the bureau of equip
ment and recruiting, reports that during the
year 1859 vessels have been wholly or partially
equipped at an expenditure for labor of
$S3,O94, and for material of $355, ,S07. During
the year a coaling station was established
on the island of Tutinla, one of the Samoan
group, at an expenditure of about $40, 600 in
Guiding the cost Of 220 tons Of coal and its
transportation to that island. On account of
the unsettled condition Of affairs at these
islands, chief English says it was considered
essential to have at least one AmerlcaI cruiser
visit there frequently, hence the need of estab-
fishing this coaling station. Chief English
recommends the establishment OF coalirg
station Magdelena, about midway between
there and Panama.
Col. McCauley, OF the marine corps, states
that there 1885 enlisted men in the service and
recommends an immediate increase of men
and officers to meet the demands Of the SER

Wm. Mckinney advocated q protective
tariff In the words of the late president he
would ask the legislatures to vote laws In the
interest OF the people of the United States and
not for the whole world.

sure the country remedy for the injuries
done by decisions of the treasury department

take action In the matter.
AT the evening session VIM. D. Kelly, Of

Condition of the Pacific National Bank Of
Boston.

BosToN, Nov. 29.-At meeting of the di.
rectors and principal stockholders of the Pa
ciflc bank the condition ofthe banks affairs
was explained by Examiner Needham. In
order to resume bueiness, the bank must be
able to meet liabilities of about sSs, 600, 600.
These include 81 900, 900 due other banks, the
remainder being divived between depositers
and holders of certificates of deposit. The
assets to meet these claims COM
prise weeks miscellaneous securities to cover
his debt of sl,250, 900; of s15O,OO0 due from
other banks, specie and legal tender notes on
hand and probably s2,00O,O0O in promiscuous
loans and discounts. An Indication of the
character of these securities is the shortage of
that portion which has q total face value of
s., 250, 900, to the extent of making it neces-
sary to raise one and a half million cash be,
fore the board can resume. The directors
are not yet ready to give the public the details
liabilities and assets, but say that the insol-
yency of the bank is entirely due to Weeks
Indebtedness, and that Weeks will pay $780,
600 of the sum necessary to pull the bank
through its difficulties. Several stockholders
offered to subscribe s5O,000 each to this end.
A committee of directors and stockholders
was appointed, with instructions to make q
further canvas among all stockholders and
obtain the funds necessary for resumption.
