THE PoTENrATE OF THE TREASURY.

Manning, of Albany.
Troy IN. " Special.
When Mr. Manning lived in Albany, and sat
behind ordinary looking desk in the Argus
office several hours each day. he was deemed
the model leader. Anybody and everybody
could approach him His greeting was always
ence." 1t was an everyday occurrence for ward
bosses and Democratic department officials to
drop into the office, and have a chat with Mr.
Manning AS there was no place for visitors to
hang their hats, theSaller who thought it neces-
sary or proper to remove that article of apparel
when in the presence of the chairman of the
Democratic State committee would lay it on
Mr.. Mannings desk. Mr.. Manning never found
any fault. Such little evidences of genuine
democracy seemed rather to please him than
otherwise
A few days ago John Mccall, superintendent
of the State Insurance Department, went to
Washington and sent in his card to the Secretary
OF the Treasury. His reception was not the most
cordial. Mr.. Manning appeared to have clothed
himself in pretty much all the dignity attaching
to his high estate, but this did not disconcert Mr..
Mccall. Pulling chair up to the desk of the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury, the Superintendent of
the Insurance Department of the State of New
York sat down. and tossing his hat carelessly
upon pile of official documents on the desk,
crossed his legs and smiled just as he had done
so many times in the Argus Office.
Mr.. Manning seemed surprised His eyebrows
up on his cheeks, and stern expression took
possession of his countenance. CHANGING first at
the Insurance Superintendent and then at the hat
he remarked, frigidly:
mr. Mccall, we are not in Albany. Things
have changed somewhat, and the old familiarity
is no longer permissible"
Had Mr.. Mccall been struck by a feather feat
ing on Potomac fiat zephyr he would have
measured his length on the carpet
Mick" Kane, supervisor of West Troy, a por-
ton of the Fourth Assembly district of Albany
county, is an old friend of Mr.. Manning. Some
time ago, when an effort was making to annex
West Troy to the Troy postofice, Mr.. Kane
cidentally to press the claims Of Mr.. Maloney
upon the consideration of the administration.
Mr.. Kane called upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and to his establishment was ushered into
the presence of potentate whose awe-inspiring
demeanor impressed him deeply. The Hello,
Dan" salutation stuck in his throat, and with
great humility he said that he had come down
to protest against annexing the West Troy rost
office to Troy.
THE Postmaster general has issued an order
effecting the consolidation" said Mr.. Manning,
motioning to an attendant for his overcoat.
''Then," remarked Kane, 'I'd like to have
Maloney placed in charge of the West Troy sta
ton"
You must excuse me- said the Secretary, 81
cannot bother with such trivial matters. am
going to a Cabinet meeting. Good day, sir"

PATTISON'S PROPOSITION.
Resolutions Adopted at Meeting of Tax-Pay-
ers Protesting Against Its Acceptance.

A citizens meeting of the Twenty fourth and
Twenty fifth wards to oppose the proposition OF
City Treasurer Pattison regarding the deficiency
in his accounts, took place at Phoenix Garden,
corner of Morris and South Illinois streets, last
night Richard Mussuman, presided, and
Thomas Madden acted as secretary. Charles
Gauss moved the appointment of committee
on resolutions, and supported it with speech in
which he said the acceptance of the Pattison
proposition would be an outrage. and would
establish bad precedent Mr. Madden said
that he had failed to find anyone in the Twenty
fourth ward who was not strongly opposed to
the proposal. All were surprised at what they
considered TO be great impudence or the part of
a public officer. The chair appointed A. Kuhn.
Charles Gauss, Michael Clum, and Thomas
Madden to consider and draft the resolutions,
which, after few minutes consultation, they re-
ported as follows:
Whereas, l. N. Pattson, treasurer of the city of
Indianapolis. has proposed to the City Council and
Board of Aldermen that he will turn certain
stocks of questionable value to said city provided he
and his bondsmen be released from the payment of
large of money ($43 ,O0O) said sum having been
collected by the said Pattison treasurer from the
taxpayers of the city of indianapolis; and whereas,
of the people that such high handed attempt to rob
the public treasury should go unrebuked; be it
Resolved. That we opposed to any and all prop
ositons that will not nold the public officer to the
strictest accountability and that this method of
eving the few at the expense Of the many merits
severest condemnation And be it further
Resolved, That our members of Council ard Board
of Aldermen be and hereby requested to vote
against any and all such propositions and oppose
every measure looking to the consummation of the
villainous schemes and further, that any member of
either body voting for said cannot have the
welfare of the public at heart and cannot expect any
consideration hereafter.
On motion, the foregoing was unanimously
adopted and ordered to be presented to the coun
cilmen and aldermen at their forthcoming
meetings The protestants then adjourned.

timber. Petitions are being signed in every
camp in the Territory for the abrogation of the
order, and committee of prominent mining
men will take these petitions to Washington
and more fully present the claims of the miners.
The salt used in the mills of Butte for reduc-
ing silver ore is secured from Salt Lake. The
freight on it from Ogden, 440 miles. is 500 per
ton. Against this charge the mill owners have
long protested. They have now combined and
determined that unless reduction is made in
freight charges, they will close their works on
Jan l. This decision on the part of the mill
owners has produced the greatest CONSERVATION
here, as it will throw s. 900 or 5000 men out of
employment in midwinter, and be serious
blow to the city.
