The treasury department is now counting

1t is reported that the President intends next
Monday to suspend the treasury officials who
have been connected with the misdeeds of the
custodians office. Inquiries as to the truth
of the report at the White House and from
high officials in the treasury were responded
report. 1t is said that President Garfield
learned of the waste of public money and
wrong doing in the custodan's office while
serving in the last Congress, and that he has
insisted upon the investigation and that he
proposes to suspend the officials alleged to be
in the ring in order to give the committee a
free field to carry on their labors. The Presi-
dent and Secretary Window being so entirely
occupied with other important questions is
soil TO he he or
dered suspension of these treasury officials.
Attorney General MacVeagh, and Postmas-
ter-General James, to-day put final quietus
on rumors about Secretary Blaine's visit to
New York and the star route ring. The ru-
mors had taken all sorts of shapes, some al
iegiDg that MacVeagh had refused to exoner-
ate Blaine to-day, in order to put down any
thing of this kind. The attorney general once
more declared that nothing developed in the star
route Investigation, any more connected Blaine
with it, than it did him (MacVeagh) James
pronounces the rumor utterly groundless
and false. Ordinarily such reports would not
be noticed, but this one has been so persistent
y kept alive, and repeated oven after its falsity
was declared, that it was concluded to silence
it emphaticaIly.
The President and Secretary's Window nd
Blaine have had their attention called to Vir-
ginia politics to- day, by conflicting delegations.
Postmaster Wilson of Lynchburg headed
delegation of Republicans who advised
straight Republican campaign in Virginia.
Wilson States that lthe President and both
secretaries favored holding a Republican m
vention. If the readjusters want to unite
with the Republicans on terms proposed by the
convention let them do it, but that the Repub
lican party must not be disorganized. Senator
Malone and several leading readjusters also
called on the President and Window and
Blaine to urge the administration to declare
in favor of a fusion of the Republicans with
the Readjusters, but the administration did not
accept Mahone's view. Malone is quoted as
saying tonight that he will make straight
Readjuster ticket, with Riddlebcrger at the
head for Governor, and will carry most of the
colored vote with him, and thus disorganize
that party.
Officers of the national board of health and
of the marine hospital service have been exam
lining reports received by them from all points
where the yellow fever is likely to originate or
occur. The reports all inspire the board with
confidence that there will not be any yellow
fever in the United States this year.
