President Garfield to be Given Sea
Voyage.

WASHING TON, July 21.-The Secretary of
the Navy has issued orders directing that the
work of repairing the United States steamer
Tallapoosa the dispatch vessel of the navy on
the Atlantic coast, now at the navy yard here
should be prosecuted with all possible haste,
so that the vessel may be ready for sea by the
18th Of August. The Tallapoosa has been
under extensive repairs for some months and
in the ordinary course of work would be ready
for sea service about the LIST of September next
Anticipating the recovery of the President,
who is very anxious for sea voyage, the Sec
rotary of the Navy desires to have the Talla-
poosa ready for that purpose. She is a paddle
wheel steamer of $50 tons and is regarded as
more suitable for the trip proposed than the
screw steamer Dispatch. The plans include a
swinging bunk, in which the President can
rest with ease and be entirely Independent Of
the pitching motion of the vessel. 1t is re-
garded as probable that the Tallapoosa will be
employed for the Presidents benefit for some
weeks after he RECEIVERS sufficiently to be
placed upon her. Everything that can be
done to contribute to his comfort and that of
his family will be provided in tho improve
ments of the vessel. She will ply between
Washington and Norfolk for short time, and
when the weather appears favorable she will
run up to Long Branch and perhaps to Long
Island Sound.

How He Adjusted a Private Contract with a
Manufacturer.
The great readjusting powers of Senator
Malone have not always been confined to
public affairs. Mr.. Joseph Montgomery
the marble contractor of Flatbush avenue,
Brooklyn, talks about the gallant Senator
as the @'readjuster" of private debts. Some
time ago, through correspondence on Mont
gomery's part with the Senator, the latter
ordered from the contractor three marble
mantelpieces to grace his handsome resi-
dence in Richmond, Va. A contract in re-
gard to this business was duly signed, the
purchaser agreeing to pay freight, travelling
expenses and worknen's time, in addition
to the primary cost. A pass for four men
and the freight having been received, Mont
gomery started with his men to Richmond,
and concluded his part of the bargain. The
account being shortly afterwards rendered
to Senator Malone, he ''readjusted' the
bill, reducing it to its nominal amount of
one thousand dollars for goods received,
striking out the other charges, as per con
tract.
Mr. Montgomery has visited the Senator
three or four times to collect the balance,
but he insists in maintaing bis authority as
a law maker to 'sreadjust' the claim =

Since this intelligence reached here great
indignation thereat has been expressed by

for the ensuing harvest.
