The thief called on pim and asked for alms, stole a coat, and lit out. The great divine overtook him and marched him away to the station. Once be was going to let the rascal go,—we suspect that the prisoner had told him that if he dido’t be (the pnsoner) would knock the stufling out of him (T,\uxmr).—huc a Mr. VOOREERS came up and Belped him to convey the darling thicl to the Jock-up. Mr. TALMAGE says that he ** never had felt before how grand a police-officer feels when exccuting the law,” but he doesnot say whether, carrsing out his part to the life, he put the come-alongs on his captive, clubbed him a few times, and asked him how much he would whack up to be sct at liberty. Finally, says Mr. TaLuace: *“The coat is not of much value, and 1 would hiave griven it to him if he had asked for jt.” Just a few minutes before Mr. TALMAGE had declared that the mau had asked for alms and been refused. 1f we are not greatly in error, Mr. TALMAGE, when he left his last news- paper and set up 8 pew one, indulged in some ‘practices compared with which the cribbing of that worthless old coat was an action of the sternest integrity.

Riza Pachs, 8 Senator of the Empire, has for some sears been regarded as the wealthicst man in Tarkey, outsiae of the Imperial family. His property was all derived from peculations. Turkish officials have never been uoted for Jonesty and good administration of the laws, yet Riza Pasha out-Heroded Herop in acts of crucity, and appropriated public money ina manner that would put the Doss-thief of New York to theblush. lu the Crimean war he drew the pay of ‘an entire army corps which did pot exist, and out of this little spoculation made 3 sum equal to ten millions of dollars of our money. He was the favorite.of the grana- mother of the present Sultan, and carried out the order of tho Sultan Mammoup 1L for the , extermination of the Janissaries. But of late years he has lost his political influence, and has even undergone the chagrin of seeing an Ameri- . can Bible-House erected directly opposite his palace in Stamboul. His death was regretted by few. —— To judge from the tone of the COoNELING press, the situation in the Republican party re- sembles that on board the Sary Jane, as graph- jcally described by ARTEMDS WARD in his novel of * Moses the Sassy; or, The Disguised Juke.” Here is the situation: Amobie ship, the Sary Jane, 1s salling from France to America, along the Wabash Canal.

A passage in an interview with Maj. Burke, of New Orleans, concerning the Chandler letter has attracted political gossips here, and revived rumors which were current in political circles during the exciting days of lust February and March, Maj. Burke is reported to have said as to the reopening of the Presidential issue: “We consider it closed. The old combination between Scnator Conkling and the Democratic Senators which offercd to Louisiana and the country s defeat of the Electoral count, and a new clection under Conkling, may be revived with a view of opening the Elcctoral question, but I think it impossible.” The rumors of a combination such as Maj. Burke speaks of have long begn current in political circles here, and. are often discussed. They were firmly believed by Mr. Hayes’ friends at the time, though the grounds of their betief could not be obtamed. They were particularty anxious in regard to this _matter as early as the time for. selecting the Electoral Commission, and exerted themselves to orevent Mr. Conkling: from being placed upon it. SECRETARY SHERMAN is expected back from New York to-night. He is understood to have had full interviews with prominent. Republicans in regard to the Cus- tom-House complications and the_ situation of New York affairs in general. On Fridoy he had 2 long consultation at the Custom-House with Collcetor Arthur, Mr. Cornell, Surveyor Mer- ritt, Thurlow Weed, aud ex-Gov. Morzan. PACKARD. Thero is talk among Scnators of taking up Puckard and making him Sergeant-at-Arms in case the President refuses to appoint him Col- lector of New Orleans, and nearly all the Re- publican Senators bave united in recommending him for the latter place. WASHINGTON MONUMENT FUNDS. There have been & number of demands made here of late to kuow what becomes of the moneys collected every yeur for the Washing- ton Monument. Thesé contributions have been continuous for mauy years, aod the belief is that the -total collectivns thus made reach a Jargesum. No satisfactory showing bas ever been made of the disposition of these receints. They have uot been applicd to any work on the monument. A contributor of 1845 prjuts a card on the subject in‘the Star, in which he says: “The people are very anxiousto know where all the moneys went to that have been collected for upwards of thirty years in every State, county, city, aud town inthe United States. If the National Monument Society have nothine to do with the millions already collected, wnv are they asking for more: _We call upon’ the Gov- ernors of the several States to demand of the Collectors of 'counties, citics, and towns of their respective States to furnish a statement of the amounts collected, for the satistation of every patriot in_the land who hus zencrously contributed to that noblest of objects so sacred to the memory of Washington.

Burke, of New Orleans, States that whatever promiscs were made before the Louisiana count came from the Radicals, in- cludine Chendler, who pledged. Hayes! Admibistration to both kard and the Conscrvatives, intending to break faith _with the latter. The Worid calls Chandler's letter odious and ridiculous. The Fritunc's carcful Washington correspundent says the Soulbern Demorats who opposed fili- bustering and favored the completion of the electoral count were actuated by a general fecl- ing that. as tnc Democrats supported the Elect- oral bill, it would be party uishonor to defeat the Commission’s work. Besides, they were satisfied that Hayes’ utterances in his letter of Seseptance were sincere in reard to the fricndly olicy to the South, and that his fmplied pledgesin that direction would be redeemed. They also realized that revolutionary proceed- inge in Congress then_would provoke civil war, of which tiie. South had had cnouwh. These considerations, tozether with considerable cool- ness towards Tilden, and 1ot any bargain, con- trolled them in promoting the completion of the count, and Hayes’ peaceful inauguration. The Times denies Chandler’s right to forpiu- 1ate the Republican party’s policy, or prescribe its conditions of membership, and ebaracterizes ‘his pretensions as ridiculous. It concurs in the opinion that his letter was simply a bold bid for the favor of the coming New Hampshire Con- vention. The Times concurs with Chandler’s qdisapproval of the President’s Southern policy, but obiects to the revival of a stale controversy over a dead issue alreedy irreversibly settled, and making that a pretext for attacking the President with a view of driving him into the arms of the Democracy.. v Notwithstanding the unfavorable reception of Chandier’s letter, it doubtless was the re- sult of concerted actiony and partly put forth cither as the initial declaration of war against the Admiuvistration by the Radical wing of the Republican party, or else as a feeler to test the temper in whichi Such o war would be received by the country, If it has any other motive it means organized, active effort to forze the dis- solution or the Cabinet and the retirement of Evarts, Schurz, and Key. Thus far the experi- inent looks unpromising.v —_— THE CABINET. THAT INTERVIEW WITH MR. EVARTS. From Our Own Correspondent. ‘WasniNGToN, D. C., Dec. 27.—If there is a man on carth to be pitied at the present junc- ture, it is a Cabinet officer. “Why, look at it,”” sald Mr. Evarts to me yes- terday, **what am Ito do? There are'all sorts of storics In the papers, and all kinds of rumors afoat. Every day I scc something mew ind ‘hear something fresh, but where is the remedy? “I'hie mouth of every man outside the Cabinet is open, while the lips of those inside are sealed. How can you expect me to subject myself to an interview on all these things?™ The object of my visit was to ask him about the charge against him that he was trylng to throw the responsibility of the New York blun- der on Carl Schurz, and make that gentleman the scapegoat. “XNow,” he continued, “I never heard of this statement before, and on its face it lovks to be absurd; put suppose 1 should deny it, what then? The press would immediately in- veut something new, and if I dian’c deny that, the papers would say *Evarts has denied other things, and since he_let’s this go, it must be true What am I to do#” COME SQUARELY TO THE FRONT. «Why not come squarely to the front, Mr. Secretary, und outline the exact situation of affairs? As matters stand, you are operatinggin the dark. The people are well aware that some- thing is golng on, and arc clamorivg for news. You retire within yoursclf and leave imaginative correspondents and political _ busybodies to originate theories and put them down as facts, which you will neither admit nor deny. If, on the contrary, you would .come out and fell what you are doing, atd what the pros- peets of your -success are, {n your judgment, you obviate the necessity of inventing plans for you and will soon find rest Irom the annoyance of which you complain.” It was Iate in the afternoon. The work of the Department of State had been finished, and the Sccretary had apparently plenty of time to gonsider his relations with the press. «] don't know that the method you prescribe would have the desired effect,” he answered after some reflection. ©Invention appears to be a prerogative of the press, and even if I should tell you what my views are they might be misconstrued and tortured by other papers, and I should be in a worse condition than I ain now.” JIAS TIE TIME TO READ.

In the upper East Room the green ol of the furni- ture has taken a varicty of ¢ . while the damask lambrequins are staincd with age and soiled with unclean finger-prints.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEW YORK COLLECTOR. From Our Own Correspondent. WasmxNeTox, D. C., Dec, 27.—Whatever the rumors iy be, or whatever stories may be told, or whatever surmises there are, nothing is definitely known as to what the President’s course will be in the matter of the -New York appointments. There is a ereat deal of specu- lation, und the general impression is that new names will be sent in—names sostrong that the Senate will dislike to refuse coufirmation; but there ure numerous excellent people who are satisfied that Arthur is sure of his Collectorship, 2nd Cornell reasonably sure of his comfortable quarters in the harmless, unnecessary Nova Oflice. “Phere are but very few people outside of Nes York City who know anything about Gen. Ches- ter A. Arthur, and not many ever heard of him until bis oflicial bead popped up to make trouble and discord in the Republican ranks. I ques- tion much if Conkling knew a great deal about him before taking up the cudgels in his bebalf, for though o natural politician, Arthur has uever aspired to honors so much as emolu- ments in the - political world, and, as all his efforts on his own behall have been on the quiet and insinuating rather than the aggressive order, he has never made any particular stir ontside of his particular cir- cle, and, consequently, has never gob in any- body's way, If he were acting on his own judg- ment, e would have resigned at the first hint that bis administration was uusatisfactory or himself unpopular. In one respect HE 13 LIKE SOME WOMEN— preferring, martyrdom to a ficht. He is just the sort of mAn for whom a full-blooded man like Conkling would do battle; a man whose self- respect and sensitiveness would shrink from in- suguraticg a warfare in the protection of his own rights; a man who would consider it ua- gentiemaaly to obtrude his ambitions where be was not respected. And vet these character- istics are entirely incompatible with his personal appearance. In height he is at least six feet, fn person of full habit and well proportioned. His face is wide and florid, and garnished with side- ‘whiskers and & mustache, upon which the drifts of forty-five, or perbaps forty-eiclt, winters have fallen Jightly. His bead is round, with- out any especially noticeable development at the back, and, taken all in all, he appears to a stranzer to be a full-blooded, healthy, clean- looking Englishman. _If he were to encase his legs In coffec-sacks and put a barrel over his body, he would still look weil-dressed. " Wrap ‘him up in zunny-bags, and he would be ready for, and would be received in, any ball-room in the city. It was into the brain of such & man that Divine Providence, proud of ‘the brizht thing it bad created, first distitled the Iidea of coaty vest, and breeches. JIE STARTED OUT AS A LAWYER, and was remarkabic for the facility with which he sceured appointments to prominent posi- tions in Zood legal firms. In fact, he has alwways been a mun of apoointments. ¢ Wwas never elected to anything, and never will be. There is a superstition here that he was never born, but was appointed a baby. As soon as he was old cnough to understand religion, e cut loose Srom the tenets of his ancestry, because Presby- terianism__contemplated _election. ~As he worked his way u «in the legal profession, he was never solicited to join a firm: he neyer made o copartnershio concract—he was ap- pointed a member of some concern. ~ When be tried a suit, the foreman of the jury. ao) ointed him victor or vanquished, as the nature of thein- finence brought to bear scemed to_indicate he was best fitted to be. When his Business was dull, Judges appointed hix referec in other ple's suits. No one ever nominated him for anything, but there always appeared to be 8 hole on the political cribbage-board just about his skze, and he was always appointed to fill it. And he does fill it, ana fill it well. Coraell does ot fill his nffice,—he oniy rattlesarouad in it,— Fhile Arthur is prepared to ill anything from a knot-hole to,a cathedral. At flrst there was no manifestation of A TILIRST FOR OFFICE, but at the opening of the War he wss appointed uartermaster-General, and Jocated in New Fork. Tt hic were appointed Minister to Russia howould stay in the great metropolis. Were he ‘nppointed missionary to Sencgambia, the hoathen would have to hunt him up. Duriog the War he was appointed to a varicty of pusi- tions, all of whith took him by surprisc, and all of which were_aceepted with frank and_gentle- Manly gratitude. For in his manner and bear- juz Arthur had redched the thirty-third degree. He is Past Grand Master of Deportment. New York society looks upon him as its Moses. I don’t mean political socicty, nor yet the socicty composed of the Vencerings, but the roval pursle uncut velvet of New York sociely, Phiclr 1s a5 old_as Kinderhook and s simple- minded as a Kintergarten. He was f}zpo{mcd o soclety a5 to everything else. He didn’t creép in;ifie wasn't thrown in; he was simply appointed,” and_he stepped up and took. the P odified cath prescribed for focal oliceholders, murmured a few observations about, the unex- bectedness of _the honor, und. entered straight- wway upon his Mosaic dut “As he found it impossible to bold two ap- pointments at the same time (z fact ho has al- ways regretted, more on account of the appoint- T onts than on his own), he withdrew his appli- cation for the position of VICTOR 1N LAWSDITS, and divided his mind between administering the affairs of the New York Customs-fouse and pre- serving his hiealth, the latter lest some day there be o vacancy and he no longer able to aceept with gratitude. In his ‘management of custois he has shown himself L) able man, as ;‘m would 4 he been appointed to manaze a ship, or 2 gg‘)‘sc. or nbnllgfin. During the exciting fizht in the Senate there was not & word_derozatory to his performance of his dutics. On the, co- trary, he was spoken well of. Onc might be be- frayed into the assumption, from what 1 have Lt thet ho would be a good man for Presi- dent. So he would, il the President were ap- Polnted fnstead of elected: but he would not Phake a good Poundmaster, if he hud to be seut 2 into that responsible office b the sullrages of his lellow-cnigens. ? % i So Arthur’s eminent fitness for appointive of- fices, combined with his pre-eminent unfitness for the same offices, were they clective, haswon for him considerable local distinction, and- this in turn, combined with his gentility and ele- Zance of manners, will take care of him as loaz as he lives. (Should he aie, the only tribute to his memory that he would ask would be that all appointments be withheld for thirty days.) -All these things bave made him popular where he is kuown, and he is careful to be known in politics only to the people who uppreciate the necessity of his services. I8 WILL NEVER MAKE ENEMIES that will hurt him, for he will néver et in the way of any man iho aspires to offices in the gift of the people. ‘There are lots of fat, pleas- ant little places Iying around loose, and with these he is contented. Senator Conkling, looking around for a chip to knock off the President’s shoulder, found Arthur and appointed him chip. Had he been aman of great force of political character, Conkling would have drowned him for presum- 1ng to exist, for Conkling does not belicve that two really great men can oceupy the same world at the same time, and he would tear up any other even presumably great’ man by the To0Ls as soon us he developed the fivst clément of ereatness.. But he saw in Arthiran elezaut, gentlemanly mav, who would not darg presume upon the patronage ot his betters, lifted him upon the Presidential shoulder, and knocked him back into the Collector’s chair, without dis- turbing an eyelash or wrinkling his cout. PLEASANT AND SWEET-TEMPERED as ever, Arthur looked upon the fight from his comfortable sanctum, fecling a little tinge of regret when the vacution came on and destroy- ed the appointment of some more excéllent gen- tlemen. Duriug the whole fracas he neyer raised hts voice,” The din of the conflict never disturbed him. They might construct a poiiti- cal bedstead of any size and he would fit it, and 50 he gave himself no uneasiness. I think Ican Drugln:sy just how the affair will turn out. Arthur will hold his fort. 1 cannot find that there are any vacancles in the New York offices which he misht be appointed to fill, and as heis ordained of, or rather zppointed by, God to hold an offi¢e In that city, he will keep the one he has, unless Conkling should be killed in a duel, when the Governor would appoint Arthur to the vacant Senatorial chair. REAL ESTATE. 2 — The Success .of the Past a Guarantes for * the Future. ‘With the close of the year comes the inevit- able writing up of books, balancing of accounts, and Oguriog up of profits. In numerous branches of business the last-named item will figure less than formerly, for the reason that many of the assetsare of auindeterminate quantity, being based on real property, sud appear as values approximated -at the lowest noteh. A larze bulk of these lands will be placed on_the market at the conclusion of the New-Year festivities. and the opeving of the spring building season will witness the of- fering of a much larzer number ot residence, business, aud manufacturing properties than cver before known. The Assiguees of the de- funet savings and other bauks will be oblixed to unload, in order to make proyision for the pay- ment of dividends. Hundreds of acres of lots in the vicinity of the parks and boulevards, which are now in process of foreclosure, will then be freed from the entangling allisuces of the courts, and must be sold. Holders of real estate taken in payment of indebtedness - curred in the purchase of merchandise and mavufactures will be eazer to pass aloug the title, 50 8s to enable them to devote their capital and energies to the interests in which they ‘have their greatest stal The placing of all these lands require the services of the most accomplished experts, men who are _thorouzhly familiar with the values and relations of real estate. One of the best-qualified dealers in the city is Mr. T. B. Boyd, whose oftice is at 179 Madison streer, Room 7. For years he has given to_city and suburban property the_closest study and attention, aud so well versed has he become, in the estimation of those lurgely interested, that he has been frequently called in to assist the courts in determining valucs. Notwithstanding the gmencral depression, Mr. Boyd’s business duriner the year has shown very gratifying re- sults, aud he is now prepared to Zive his patrons preater_inducements aud opportunities than ever before. —————— THE FIDELITY. The safe depository department of the Fidel- ity Savines Bunk is rowing rapidly in public estimation.

From 4 careful examination, perfect security awainst fire and burglary scems to have been at- tained. The vaults are carefully watched night and day, and have telegraphic communication +with the Police Department, as well ns with the detective azencics of the city. ‘The renter of the box has the exclusive control ofit. No offi- cer or servant of the Company can gain admis- Sion to the Inside of it during the period for which it is rented. The rentals of the boxes are so low (many as low as $5 per year) that :\n{ one haviug papers of value can afford to indulge in the Juxury of Many of our wealthy business men have been patrons_ of the iostitution for years. and in lEcse times of defalcations and bank failures the number is likely to increase. this security.
