THE WEALTH of ex-Secretary Stanton is so much improved ax to enable him to attend to practice in the courts. E. Rumsey Wixe, of Kentucky, has been ap- pointed United States Minister Resident to Ecu- ador. Tuomas J. DuRANT denies the report that the President offered him the Judgeship of the Louisiana circuit. ATTORNEY GENERAL Hoan left here yester- day for his home in Concord, Mass., where he will spend his Thanksgiving, returning to this city next week. Promorioxs.—John Gilmore, Lemucl (. Gor- don, and Albert J. Robinson have been pro- moted from assistant messengers to first clase clerks in the Second Auditor's office. PosTMASTER AProiNTED.—The President has appointed James W.

MANY CLERKS in the Treasury Department were permitted to leave their desks at noon to- day, or upon the completion of the day’s busi- ness upon their tables, in order to give them a chance to buy their Thanksgiving turkies and “‘fixins.”? THE Navat Court Marriat inthe case of Lieutenant Commander Seely, recently tried and sentenced for cruelty to his subordinates, reconvened at the navy-yardin Boston yester- day, by order of the Secretary of the Navy, for the purpose of revising the sentence declared and forwarded to the Department. DEPALCATIONS IN THE NaV¥—Information has been received at the Navy Department to the effect that serious discrepancies have been discovered in the accounts of four Paymasters inthe Navy, though the defaleation does not reach a very large amount,—the bonds of the officers covering the entire amounts to be ac- counted for. The Department declines for the present to allow the names of these paymasters to be made public, but will immediately make a thorough investigation, and if any felonious in- tent be discovered arrests will be made, and the detaulters brought to trial. THEY TELL a tolerably rough story on the memory of one of the party who left this city the other morning to attend the Georgia State Fair. Arriving at the cars just before they were ready to start, he was discovered in the vicinity of the baggage platform looking in vain for some missing article. On being asked what was lost, he said he was looking for his trunk, which he was afraid had not been sent down from his hotel, and wouldn't his friend, who came down to see the party off, be good enough to look after it when he got back to the house? The friend did as requested, and found, much to his sur- prise, not only had the trunk not been sent, but that the honorable Senator had forgotten to pack it or to make any other arrangements look- ing to an absence from the city—his things, as Greeley calle them, lying around in a wonder- fully loose and promiscuous manner. Fortunate it is for the distinguished Pennsylvanian that he is going to Georgia, where a tooth brush and a bowie knife make up a pretty respectable party dress.

Fisk Gould was cleared up an Monday in a manner highly satisfactory to all concerned. The “late unpleasantness” arose from a somewhat hasty, and, Bs it now appears, totally erroneou® evn. clusion on Mr. McHenry’s part, he having conceived the idea that the Erie managers ctermined to obtain possession of tii and Great Western at all hazards. r. Fisk on Monday submitted a proposition for cific settlement of the dispute, by which it i= mpany will pay €1¢,, 000,000, inclusive of leases, for the use and con- trolot the Atlantic and Great Western. The full particulars of the arrangement have not yet ‘transpired, but Mr. McHenry and his legal ai- visers notified Mr. Fisk that evening that the terns proposed were in every way satisfactory Legal _procee have consequently been stopped iv.

The Cumberland Vall road is also looking towards this valley, a Washington should awake to this subject. i for the advant: of the railroad it was only necessary to at the Pacific |, On whose lire large cities and villages sprang up as it were ina day, and indeed the railroad is un- settling ‘he Mormons. He believed that the greatest aid to reconstruction ean be given by railroads. going to waste railroads should be built in all directions. It pomgeent von d of every community to encourage the agrieul- turists. He pictured a section of Indiana 25 scarsago as wilderness, which is now plantations like a checker board, railroads hay- ing brought this state of — about. He then pictured the District here with only one outlet— the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Even should the stock in a ve unprofitable the benetit of the road would be felt by the city and it would be a good investment. Baltimore, when she saw the necessity of the western trade, took argh the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. and the consequence is seen. Now, the best move for Washington is to make itself independ- ent of that road, and when Washington takes hold of some road to aid it she will aps even induce the road which is -ow complaine to make rn ben discriminations towards the Dis- trict. and then the city would be more prosper- ous than ever before. He spoke of the railroad connections of Louisville and Lexington, and urged that the citizens should not let the matter rest until more roads center here. Judge Wright endorsed the views of Mr. Stewart, and spoke further of the manner in which Indiana bad been benefitted. There were 105 counties in that State and through 96 of these railroads passed. Chicago has 22 roads, and Cincinnati now subscribes ten millions for a read to Chatanooga. If this city could get direct communication with the Ohio river and spend tive millions to secure it the city-would be bene- ‘Btted sty millions. General Eaton raid that he Was @ tax-payer end be found his taxes had doubled, but the value of his property had not increased, and h= wanted to see some reason for the increase. He could not afford to pay increased taxes when there is so little enterprise exhibited. Inolden times when it Was proposed to construct wagon roads the owners of pack mules objected, anfin turn the wagoners found fault with the canal, and yet these improvements went on. He believed that if the Loudon and Hampshire read was extended he would save the inereascd taxation in the price of coal. He alluded to the fact that he was one of a company who had pur- chased 60,009 acres of Virginia land at ‘ety acre and he did not believe it would before it would be worth $100 per acre.
