NEW YORK. March eth The
Evening Commercial prints
Washington special from its editor,
which says that Grant has been
called here to advise with the Pres.
ident In regard to Mexican affairs
and the China and japan trade.
The General soys they are the great
points for the United States to play
for. No doubt the General has
been consulted in regard to the
manner of men to be chosen to rep.
resent our government in these
countries, looking to securing the
vast trade and commerce they can
furnish. 1t has been whispered
here that Grant has been asked to
suggest the persons in his judg-
ment most competent for the serv-
ice. Rumor says he mentioned
several persons, and that one In
particular, a distinguished Journal
ist, struck the President with most
favor. Should he be selected it
would be a great stroke for Gar
field 8 administration. From all
can learn, I am inclined to think
that Bingham will be recalled from
Japan.

CHICAGO, March 9.h.-The 1ri6-
une's Washington special says:
The extra interest to be paid on nc.
count Of the failure to pass O fund
ing bill before next winter win be
about Sl0,000.000 on basis of 81
per cent. or $l3,000,000 on a per
cent. basis of refunding. There re-
main unsold $l04,6 ,652. 200 of 4 pei
cent. bonds, which, il necessary,
the Secretary of the Treasury may
sell, and with the proceeds pur-
chase redeemable 5 per cents or
per cents. Whether he will think
it wise to do this may lie regarded
as very doubtful.
The Inter. Oceans Washington
special says: An infinite friend of
the. President said to-day that he
would probably tender Fred Doug
lass q mission in place of the Mar.
shalship of the District. The col.
ored question has been Q
serious one during the admins.
tration of Douglass under
Hayes and it ia said at times to
have made the situation unpleas-
ant for all concerned. The Mar.
shal here is in measure part of
the Executive household and, in
the capacity OF an equal, many
| who have been used to meet per-
sons of Mr.. Douglass's race only in
the capacity of servants, have not
been pleased. In Washington
more than almost any other place
the prejudice of race fingers and 1t
is thought a more congenial place
can be found for the present Mar.
shal. The mission to Brazil, where
numerous colored men hold high
official position and place, is one of
the most desirable in the gift of
the government.
