REGARDING cabinet changes, Mr.
Vanderbilt expressed himself to a
reporter as follows:
"Of course there will be changes,
but it is likely they will not be al
together sweeping. Postmaster
James has proved himself to be a
good man, and has satisfied the bust
ness community so thoroughly that
/ believe he will be retained, III
there is new secretary of state, he
will be an eastern man, like Mr..
Blame. The financial policy of the
government is fixed on a sound and
substantial basis, and any interfer-
ence with it would be almost uni
versal.y deplored. l know of no
fault that is to be found with Secre-
tary Window, who has conscien-
tiously followed out the policy OF
his predecessor; but, if he is re-
moved, | hope that some conserva-
tive, sound-thinking man of bust
ness will be put in his place. But,
whoever may be appointed, L do
not anticipate any radical interfer-
ence with our finances as they are, and
Wall street will have no occasion to
howl. Somehow there is an opinion
that Wall street regulates the fl
nances of the country. This is all
wrong-totally wrong. Wall street
is a great factor in the metropolitan
system of finance, but farmers in
the far west, and even those be-
tween Buffalo and New York, dc
not care a snap for it. There are
other and bigger influences than
Wall street in our financial affairs
and they know it.D

1t was in the campaign of 1860
when Stephen A. Douglass was run

Tucker was one of his ardent sup
porters. They had dined in com

the close of the feast, Douglas threw
his arm affectionately around
Tucker, and said, "Bev., when l am

There is nothing quite so absurd
as a hobby-horse, and yet every man
has q larger or smaller one in the
family stable. One never attempts
to ride it but he makes himself RI
diculous. An illiterate preacher
who, among other falsehoods, be-
lieved that men are always right and
women are always wrong, was wont
to declare that the five foolish vir-
gins who had no oil in their lamps
were all women, while the five wise
virgins were all men.

a WORLD reporter has seen Sena-
tor Ben Hill IN Philadelphia. lie is
remaining at the jefferson Medical
College, undergoing treatment, and
will be ready to take his seat in the
senate on the 10th of October. In
regard to the pending organization
Senator Hills views, as do those of
all conservative men, coincide pre-
cisely with those of the STATESMAN.
Mr.. Hill says:
"The senate is not a tie for the
purposes of organization. The two
senator's from New York, and the
one from Rhode Island, to be APP
pointed in General BurnsIde's place
cannot participate in the election of
a presiding officer. They cannot be
sworn in until presiding officer is
elected and there is an organization.
Therefore 1 speak of the two men,
one of which is most likely to be
chosen. What might be done after
the new senators take the oath and
the senate is full is another matter.
| Then il will be tie in case David
Davis continues to vote as he did
last spring-he will really hold the
balance of power"
Regarding the succession, Mr.. Hill
says:
81 certainly do not expect any
thing but harmonious action at the
meeting of the senate. There will
be every disposition to do whatever
is done as quietly and speedily as
possible, and to do what is for the
best interest of the country. L have
| too much faith in General Arthur's
| good sense to anticipate that he will
do anything calculated to arouse
sectional or factional differences
within his own party, although l
believe he will be beset by more
perils than any man who has ever
yet succeeded to the presidency by
the death of a president. 1 believe
| General Arthur to be much
broader man than he has credit for
being. My association with him in
the senate during the short time we
were there gives ME reason to be.
lieVe that there NAV be a wise and
conservative administration from
him. | have never shared in the
opinion that the factional bitterness
within the party during the past
few years will be renewed or pOpu-
larized by the new Administrations
To an inquiry as to Mr.. Conkling's
influence over Mr.. Arthur, he said :
81 believe that whatever influence
Mr.. COnkling excrts upon General
Arthur will be for the good of the
country. | venture the assertion
that there is no man in this land
who will have keener appreciation
of the necessities of the immediate
present and future than Mr.. Conk
ling. | do not shore in the senti-
ment that constantly assails him."

1T is said the search after the ball
in the dead presidents body lasted
two hours. The intestines were re-
moved and placed in wash bowl,
so a correspondent tells, and, after a
vain search in the body, they were
taken up and thoroughly examined,
and the ball was found clinging to
them. 1t is probable the whereabouts
of the bali will be sworn to after a
while, when they begin the move
ment in the direction of cracking
+. Gulteau's neck, and then the public
may possibly learn that the deadly
missile was not definitely located,
even IN death.

JAY GOULD CAUGHT FOR ONCE
Mr.. l.. Pine, of this city, on one of
his recent trips to Cairo in the inter
est of the Singer company, took their
Chicago attorney along TO see that
the titles to the property pur-
chased by Mr.. Pine for the Singer
company was perfect. In the
discussion the question of the
right of redemption came up and
one of the Cairo millionaires declar-
ed there was no redemption law in
Illinois. The Singer attorney show
ed him the law, but it had not been
enforced for twenty years. Halli-
day rushed out and instructed his
agents to buy up all the second
mortgage bonds of railway COM
pany, whose first mortgage bonds
had recently been bought by Jay
Gould. They cost Halliday 81, $780,
900. He telegraphed Jay Gould that
he held the second mortgage
papers, and, perhaps, he DAY Could
had better call and see him. Jay
Gould telegraphed back that as he
owned the first mortgage paper the
other did not interest him. Hal
liday telegraphed back that Jay
Gould's attorney ought to post him
self on the Illinois redemption law.
In q short time a telegram was re-
ceived from Jay Gould that his
agent would call on Halliday. When
he came Halliday asked an advance
of $4,000 over what he had paid for
the bonds. Jay Gould Kicked"
and Halliday advanced the price
another $4,000, and he proposes to
advance by forties till Jay Gould
comes to time, which he will have
to do or lose his present investment.
