Secretary Oiuey resumed his desk at
the State Department this morning.
u. 8. Marshal Wilson called at the De-
partment this morning and personally
served the papers in the injunction
brought by Mrs. Frazer, upon MIR. Olney
himself. The Secretary also had long
conference with Chief Faison of the
Consular Bureau. who is said to be
slated for the solicitorship of the de-
ment, made vacant by the resignation
of Mr.. Dabney.
Secretary Carlisle heard arguments
to-day by Mr.. w. E. Russell, of Massa-
chusetts, for and General Hunton OF
Virginia, and Mr. @. E. Creecy, OF
Washington, against charge in the
Treasury regulations to permit the
issue of an American register to tie
wrecked steamship Southery
The impression is strengthening here
that there must be another issue OF
gold bonds, but that it will be postponed
until after the November election.
This impression has general depress-
ing effect upon the stock market, Tor
the reason that no one can now see
how the succession of such issues Can
ever be stopped. =.
A Virginian here familiar with tie
affairs Of the Knights of Silver, q ma
tional association organized under an
Alexandria charter, whose headquar-
tiers are here, Gays that association is
not doing we'll, aud that the headquar-
ter officials are not hopeful of its sue
cess. Well-informed people from the
South now here say the feeling in favor
OF silver in their States is just as strong
rs ever, though they do not believe the
national democratic convention will de-
clare for the free coinage of silver in the
platform it will adopt.
At the meeting oil. the interstate DEM
ocratic association Of this city last Sat-
urday night, though the association is
compose mostly of Office holders, the
feeling in favor Of silver seemed to pre-
vail with The majority, but resolution
| was adopted in favor of supporting
democratic nominees unanimously.
| even if they were full fledged gold bugs.
A prominent democratic politician
f.om kentucky, here to-day, says there
Is no doubt OF the reelection OF SEN
a,or Blackburn, and he thinks little, 1t
any, of the election of Hardin for Gov
ernor. He says Kentuckians are South
ern in their feeling, and when their
speakers tell them re publican success in
Kentucky presages the election of q re-
publican President who will approve q
Force bill that will be passed by re-
publican Congress, it ia safe to bet that
q majority of them will vote the demo
cratic ticket.
A Tammany democrat now here
making political inquiries says the
democrats of his city are in better
shape than they have been for several
previous years and are confident of VIC
tory next November. He says that
with the exception of the per Sc Cleve-
land men, the democrats are all pulling
together, while the republicans are by
no means as one. He also says that
ex-senator Platl's faction of the repub-
licans is by far more numerous than its
opponents and will rule the republican
State convention, and that while it will
attempt to ignore the liquor question,
the democrats, under the wise advice OF
Senator Hill, will come out squarely in
favor of personal liberty and against
the present anti-liquor law there, and
will thereby gain the support of thou
sands of people who have heretofore
v ted the republican ticket.
From Maryland il is learned to-day
that if the so-called cleveland demo-
Gratis" of that State intend to follow the
b .ltimore Suns advice and vote the re-
publican ticket, few of them have the
lodness to avow that intention public
ly, AMI that most of those who ;nti-
ma ed detectioo soon after the conven-
roi have been made so ashamed Of
lemselv,s therefor by their friends
that they are now jealous In the cause,
SO as to remove any doubt of their true
oiue democracy.
Among those who have returned
from Louisville is Mr.. Edgar Allan, OF
Richmond, commander OF Phil Rear
ney post of the G. A. r. of that city,
aud one OF tho assistant q. S. attorney
generals. He says that 80 far as he
Knows not q member of the G. A. r
who was in Louisville heard
single word uttered by any OF
the people of that city that wa
unpleasant. He also says that the com
mittee of the grand eDcampment to
whom the charges against the Phil
Kearney post in relation to the memo
rial day expenses in Richmond
were referred, reported unani-
mously that there was not the
slightest ground for any of them,
aad that that report was unanimously
adopted. Mr.. Allen denounced the
author of the charges referred to on the
floor of the encampment, and now
says he intends to have him court mar
tailed.
Many offers to supply the Treasury
with gold in small quantities, from
s.. 900 to 100000, have been received
and all the offers considered favorable
to the government have been acce pied.
Several offers have been declined. One
of these was from Louisville, Ken
lucky, bank, which desired the gold
they offered to be accepted at
its face value. Two other Of
fers, where the banks wanted the
Treasury to pay the express charges on the
gold and currency, both ways, were also re.
jected. All Offers Of gold within the limit O.
tolerance in exchange for currency forward.
sble at government contract rates, have been
and will continue to be accepted by the
Treasury rs long as this special concession is
continued in foree. Several offers of eight
weight gold have been declined These lots
of light weight gold always make their ap.
pearance on occasions such as the present.
