AT least month since, DR.. W. G Green
chief of one of the divisions in the office
of the second comptr 'ller of the currency,
was. by direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury, requested to send in his resigna-
ton. The Secretary was influenced to
make this request by representations that
DIR. Green had for long time been q very
active partisan, and it was also asserted
that while engaged in political campaign
work he he had absented himself for I'M
usual periods of time from the department.
DIR. Green is native of New York, and
was appointed from that State. Of late
years he has hailed from Southern Mary
LAID, and has been prominent in the poll
tics of that section, and it is alleged that
he has helped to stir up race prejudces.
He was candidate for the republican
nomination for Congress in the fifth dis
trict in opposition to Mr.. Holton, and was
a delegate from Maryland to the republi-
can national convention last year, being
He made no reply to the request of the
Secretary for his resignation, and some
say that the letter asking for his resigna-
ton failed to reach him, but this is be-
lieved to be erroneous. At all events, the
Secretary thought he had waited long e.
nough for an answer, and on Tuesday he
cut off the official head of DR.. Green with
out further ceremony. DR.. Green did not
seem to be particular disturbed by the
notification of his removal, and said he
could stand it ii the Secretary could. II
is understood that T. Owen Roberts, o.
Prince Georges County, Nd, has been ap
pointed to succeed him. Mr.. Roberts is a
son-in-law, OF ex Gov. Bowie. The salary
of the position is $2,1OO per annum.

The Shad Fishery.

The unusual scarcity of shad In the Po-
tomac river and other tributaries of the
Chesapeake bay during the recent season,
is subject of very gener Il remark among
fishermen and others who take an interest
in the public welfare. The catch during
the last season was thought to be a very
small one, but this year that excellent fish
has been scarce beyond any precedent
and, although they have commanded very
prices throughout the entire
season, yet those engaged in shad fishing,
on the Potomac at least, have not nearly
paid their expenses
This is rather serious state of affairs,
as the shad is one of the most excellent
food fishes that are taken in our river, and

Some Of the Democrats have the gall
TO ask the Republicans to elect Demo
crat President pro tenn OF the Senate, fol
the reason that the Democrats secured the
administration at the last election and il
would be reversing the will of the people
to place Republican ia the liae Of sue
cession. In the first place the will Of the
people WAS pretty evenly divided as shown
by the last election, the Democrats win
ming by only about thousand votes in
million cast 10 New York state. which
state decided the election. In the second
place, when Arthur was called to the
Presidency the Democrats had technical
majority in the Senate because three new
Republican Senators had not been sworn
10. The Republicans asked that the new
members be admitted before the Presi-
dent pro tenn was elected. but the Demo.
Gratis would neither permit this nor allow
Republican to be elected but chose one
Of their own number. After the Republic
cans were admitted they put Edmunds in
that Office. In the third place Republic
can Senate at the last session passed bill
which, in case OF the death Of the Presi-
dent and Vice President. would have made
the Secretary Of State acting President,
and so on with the other members Of the
cabinet, but the Democratic house neg.
lected to pass the bill, In view OF these
facts it looks to us like an exhibition Of
cheek to demand that the Republicans
should yield their right OF majority in the
Senate.

question his honesty 10 taking this course,
tho II does seen thsts man Of his brilliant
talents should have seen that the vigorous
prosecution Of the war was the only honor
able course for the government to pursue,
and the course which would ultimately
result in victory and the pressrvation o.
the Union.
Not only during the war and the recon-
struction period but at all times Mr.. Hen
bricks course was identified with that OF
the Bourbon Democrats. Since the 70.
cent election his acts aud words have shown
that be Was in favor OF the spoils system,
rather than civil service reform. In this
respect there was difference between him
and Cleveland, though, had be lived,
there would probably have been no open
rupture between. them. Hendricks was
confident that the great majority Of the
party were with him and WAS contented
to bide his time, while an open warfare
at this time would only result in disaster.
