WINDOWS SUCCESSOR.
4 Colared Man Urged for appointment TO
The SeGFetaryShip.

BosToN, Feb. 6.-The Boston Courant,
the organ of the colored people, contains
an editorial urging the President to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Secretary
Window by the appointment of colored
man as Secretary of the Treasury. B. K.
Bruce, John NJ. Langston, Congressman
Lynier. Frederick Douglass and James NJ.
Townsend are named. The editorial says:
WAS not Benjamin II harrison elected solely
by the black man? 1t is conceded on all
hands that he was. Even the President
himself admits it. In view of those indis-
putable facts Cabinet position is not at all
too large a gift for President Harrison to
bestow upon the faithful colored Republ-
cans, who made him the head of the nation"
NEW York, Feb. 6.-The Press says: 1t
is an open secret that the portfolio of the
late Secretary Window has been offered to
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Also. that under no
circumstances can the aforesaid be induced
to accept the complimentary tender.

SHAG ROCK DEAL.
AttOrney-Gtn6Tal Hart Says the Sale Was
Illegal.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-Attorney- General
Hart will render, at the request of Super
visor jackson, decision on Monday that
will fill the minds of the enterprising citi-
zeus of San Francisco concerning the murky
transaction known as the Shag-rock steal
with mild craving for repose. The Attor-
ney-General has made thorough inyestga-
ton of the steal, and he in formed THE CALL
correspondent that he will decide the sale
of the rock 10 the city to be Illegal and void.
He holds that Ven Schmidt had no right to
sell the rock, because it is and always has
been the property OF the United States Gov
eminent.
Title to Government land in California"
the Attorney-G General said, could only be
obtained by homestead, presumption or
scrip. Shag Rock could have been obtained
from the Government on neither homestead
nor presumption, because there is no soil on
it; nor could scrip be located on it for the
reason that all the islands of the bay were
reserved by the Government for military
purposes. The title to the rock is still in
the United States Government"
This important decision of the Attorney
General will be written and sent to Super
visor Jackson on Monday

JAY GOULD TALKS.
Railroads Under One Management Not
Practicable.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Sun, under date
of Knoxville. prints an interview with Jay
Gould. in which he says: 1.-THE South is
now developing rapidly, and L think will
continue TO do so. There is some Western
business coming this way. The States be-
yond the Mississippi River are very fertile
and raise agricultural products cheaper than
you can here. These products which you
have 10 buy can be brought to you direct,
and you may in turn sell manufactured
products, There is good deal Of grain
coming South now"
Do You think the railroads of the
country eventually will be under one man
agement"
mo; it is too big an undertaking. The
owners of some of the roads think they are
worth more than the others. Then the
stock dividend paying roads are scattered.
The people have different ideas, and it Is
hard to get them together"
'Whai do you think of the railroad regu-
lation in some of the States where the Com
missloners worked in unison with tile
road ?'
"They have done great good to the roads
and the State. In other cases it has been
the reverse"
what do you think of the Government
control of the telegra pip"
1t always costs more to do work for the
Government than for private parties. There
IS always good deal of red tape. Work by
the Government telegraph costs more than
that by private companies"
Gould WAS asked what he tho ught of the
quantity and proper form OF the currency.
" As to sutficiency of currency we are
now increasingly at the rate Of about $780,
COO m0nth by tile operation of the Silver
Bill. We are beginning to feel it, and in
the course OF few months will feel it much
more"
What created the stringency hereP"
-, The fact Is the people got scared and
did not know how far Congress might 90
toward free coinage, and they boarded gold
in safe deposit vaults and saving institu-
tionS, and the trust companies began to Law
by very much larger supply of gold. |
should not wonder if 500, 0O0, 900 were laid
away, and that makes matters excessively
close. Now that confidence is restored,
money has gone out, and you will notice

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY.
The Tribune this morning in regard to the
recent interview between Gould and Wanna
maker at Washington says: A short time
before starting on his Southern trip Gould
received a long letter from Wanamaker on
the subject Of the postal telegraph scheme
which he advocates and which Gould so
strenunusly opposes. This communication
closed with request from Wanamaker for
Gould to call on him on his way South for
friendly talk on the subject. On reaching
Washington Tuesday Gould took a carriage
and drove to WanalDaker's house. and the
two talked for an hour and half. When
Gould had finished his visit Wanamaker's
own carriage carried both to the station.
where they finished the conversation. The
only subject discussed was that Of Govern
