Plans Outlined.
| NEW YORK, November 24th.-The Sans
| Washington dispatch says Friends of Sec.
| retary Folger announce that his manage ment
of the Treasury Department will be bold,
| even to aggressiveness. They say that. the
| new Secretary does not believe in the policy
of locking up the enormous surplus which the
| Government is receiving day by day, and
| that he will put it all out. The amount of
money at the commsnd of the Secretary OF
the Treasury, which can be used for the pur-
pose ST redeeming public debts, is very large,
and if Folger is to do as his friends say he
intends to do, the country may look for q
very important reduction of the debt within
short time. From thirty to fifty millions
Of dollars could be used at the present time
| for this purpose without crippling the Treas
| ury, SO strong has it been made by its eror-
| nous receipts. The same persons say that
| Secretary Folger will not call for bonds, but
will go into the market and buy them. 1t is
| understood that Secretary Folger has directed
computation to be made by the Actuary of
the Treasury Department. for the purpose of
ascertaining at what premium the Govern.
ment can afford to purchase the Il and per
cent. bonds, instead of calling in the 81 per
cent. bonds.
Trembling New York Custonl-heuse of.
ficlals.
CHICAGO, November 24th.-The Times
New York special says: A commotion was
created in the Custom house to-day by private
oIr yVaobinnfop bat Toba
decker, formerly one of the Deputy Col
lectors here, is to succeed Mr.. French as As
sistant Treasurer. When Arthur became
Collector, Lydecker linked his political for
tunes with his, and became q warm advocate
Of Senator Conklirg at the political Conven-
tions. This brought down upon him the ire
of Secretary Sherman, and, under the in.
spec.ion of the advocates of the civil service
reform movement, charges were preferred
against Lydecker Of a character rejecting
upon the disinterestedness of his integrity as
as he and his friends a]lege. simply to
make place for partisan of the other fac.
ton. Arthur, as Collector, asserted his
influence to the utmost to save his dep.
uty's official head, but not only did not sue
ceed, but he himself met similar fate
only few months afterward. Now, with
Arthur as President and Lydecker in the
Treasury Department, the whirligig of time
is bringing around its revenges. It is said
here that the President has never conceded
for a moment that his removal and the re-
moysl OF his personal and political friends,
like Lydecker, from the Custom-house was
anything but an unjust partisan persecution,
and hence, in justice to himself and to them,
he conceiyes that the stigma which was thus
upjustly placed upon them should be re-
moved. This is said to be the real meaning
of Lydecker's appointment, and this is the
meaning also Of the commosion which the
news is naturally oceasioning. The question
is, Wtoge turn next ?'' Or. to put it 10
turned out of the Custom-house with MIR.
Arthur must be provided With place now,
what is to become of the ins p"
Senator Logan and Guiteau.
WASHINGTON, November 245h.-Senator
Logan says: The first time I saw Guiteau
was in Washington in March last, when a
man cana to my house bareheaded, with
sandals on, and without stockings. There
was snow on the ground. He excused bis ap-
pearance by saying that he lived close by
He introduced himself, and gave ma speech
on Hancock W. Garfield. He requested, as
personal favor, that should read it. To get
rid of him, l said l would. The next day he
called again, and after letting Inc koow what
d great anu lIOrI1ub IlSA Ne WAS, ~ kGu Ills
what thought Of his speech. l replied thst
l had not had time TO read if. This put him
in a rage, and at the same time opened my
eyes to the fact that was dealing with
"crank." To get rid of him, 1 told him that
l would read the speech that very night
did not see him again for several weeks, when
he called and presented me with q written
application, which he said he intended to put
on file at the State Department, asking for
a., .E ~
said he had shown it to Secretary Blaine, and
Blaine had promised to give him the place if
l would sign the application. l refused to
sign it, on the ground that | knew nothing at
all about the man. This threw Guiteau into
rage again. He drew himself up in an
oratorical flourish, and told mo he was
Charles Guiteau lawyer and politician, an
intimate friend Of all the prominent men in
the Republican party, and for me not to
know him was to argue myself unknown.
He got so abusive that finally ordered him
out Of my rooms, and gave orders not to let
him enter again.
The Coming Turf Event.
NEW YORK, November 24th.-The Spirit
of the Times says: Early as it is to begin to
discuss the prospects, those of Balch's double
team race are already certainly brilliant.
John Shepherd, of Boston, will enter his IA
nous team, Mill Boy and Bendine, and Balch
himself is liable to find mate for Wedge
wood that will form team not to be sneezsd
at in the race. It cannot be that with such
teams IS ere owned by William II. Wander
bilt, Frank Work, I. G. Eastman, s. Foster
Dewey, Ed. Ferreil and others in this city,
that New York will bs left unrepresented by
some formidable candidate for the grand
prize. We hear that John Barry would like
to get mate for his crack trotter, Steve Max
II x-tnyry 30
race. John Turner is working Trinket
and Charley Chaplin together. H. v.
Bemis, of Chicago, proposes to hook
up Piedmont and Silverton, and take a
chance. W. j. Gordon, of Cleveland, if he
can ind mate for his new acquisition, Will.
lam H., would be likely to be among the
foremost, for William 81. is trotter of trot-
ters. Orrin Hickok has gone to California,
bat will soon return, and if he could only
fud one gated to suit Santa Claus. Ell the
talent would be obliged to look out for him.
We can think of any plumber of yerv fast
pairs that are liable to be put together 70. the
purpose OF this raca, and the beauty of it is
that few of the teams will have living
chance for victory. Previous records are
bound to be wiped ous if the day and the
track are good.
