General Grants remains will be placed for final
resting in Washington. The national monument
to be erected to General Grant should be of such
proportions and cost as to be beyond the reach
of private benevolepce, and of right and pro-
priety ought to be ordered by the Congress of
the United States and paid for out CT the ma,
tional Treasury, and, consequently, the Grand
Army should not be called upon for the effort.

1900 men, women and children were at the
depot when the train arrived, and there was

Accounts by reporters who rode in from Hal

free access to him and to the officers in charge
Of him, are to the effect that he absolutely
refused to talk about his case, and positively
asserted that he has at no time or place made
any statement in regard to it, in any way

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-The old days of Span
ish galleons loaded with bullion for the courts of
Spain are to be brought back again by the re-
moval of the surplus silver from the New Orleans
Mint to Washington. Two years ago new
vault was constructed under the cash-room of
the Treasury Department. which has storage
capacity of something like forty-fve million
dollars. 1t has all the latest contrivances of
steel bars, time locks, etc. for resisting burg
lars, but up to the present time not more than
ten or twelve millions of dollars in silver have
been stored in this vault The New Orleans
mint is overcrowded and it has been the IN
tention of the Treasury Department for some
time to remove it. Up to the present time,
however, it has not been possible to devise means
whereby this could be done without enormous
expense to the government as well as great
deal of risk. The United States steamer Swatara
has at last been put into service, and sailed for
New Orleans on Saturday last She will load up
with silver bullion, packed in boxes, instead of
bags, as Is the usual custom, and is expected to
return here in about three weeks. The silver
will be guarded by a company of marines, and
the Swatara will carry her full crew, which con
sists of about $50 officers and men. If the gov
ernment can only get all the silver in its posses
sion into Washington by the time Congress
meets and can then induce that august body to
visit the vaults where this mass of stuff is stored
it will be perhaps tar less difficult to convince
the average statesman that the general public
do not want this silver and that it will be good
policy to suspend it's COINAGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-About the only effect
the absence of the President and his Cabinet
seems to have upon Washington is that noticed
around the hotels. Since His Excellency knocked
the promises Of his party in the head and wisely
emulated the example of his predecessor by
starting on fishing trip, the arrivals at the
hotels have fallen off nearly 80 per cent,
and where there were dozen
or more politicians always to be found
around the lobbies or in the
Offices on Newspaper Row. it is now difficult to
find one. In other ways there is little effect
from the removal of the head of the government
into the Catskill mountains. AS yet the Demo
cratic papers which have been received here
have failed to revamp the old editorials which
they printed a couple of years ago when Mr..
Arthur went fishing during the recess. Perhaps
it may be that they see things more clearly now
than they did then, and that it will not be nee
essary for them to reissue their back numbers.
