Washburne will be a candidate for United States Senator trom {1li nois, the Galena Gazetfe, the republican paper of Mr. Washburne’s town, says: “Those who believe that he desires the position, or that ‘he will be pressed’ by his friends asa candidate, will soon learn this mistake. His friends under stand very well that his present position is more congenial to his taste than aseat in the United States Senate would be, and hence they have Teaon to advocate his c’aims for that office ashburne came home to vote, visit his nds, and transact some business "in Wash Having completed his errand he will on. return to Paris. REDEMPTION OF CHanegD NoTES AND Boxps- In reply to a letter of inquiry from a Boston banker, Treasurer Spinner states that “cireu- ‘ating notes and government bonds injured by tire should not be manipulated at all by an one, but should be kept intact, just as they came from the fire, until they reach the hands of the proper pe: whose business it is to ascertain their and the source trom whence they issued. It would therefore be well that you should advise all persons who have charred notes or bonds of the government to do them up just as they Snd them, first in tissue paper and then in batting, and then pack them sccarely in a strong box 40 that they cannot be crushed or shaken, and then forwarded by the Adamé Express company to the treasurer of the United States.” REGULATIONS FOR DETAILING NAVAL OvPt- «ER8s.—Secretary Robeson has directed that in ordering officers to their domicil, or when re- lieving them from duty and placing them on “waiting orders,” the office of detail will be guided by the following considerations: An ofi- cer who has been under orders full three years from the date of issue to the date of detachment from a sea-going vessel may be given orders to return to his domicil. If on sea duty for a less time, or if detailed after any length ‘of service trom other than sea duty, he will be placed on “waiting orders” unless he beon a foreign sta- tion or at Key West, in which cases, if detached without application to be relieved before the yet rary he will be ordered to his domi An officer on duty ordered hence tor examina. tion to @ court-martial, or on other tempor iry duty, will, on its completion, be ordered to re- turn and resume his duties. If on leave and or- dered as above, he will, when the temporary Juty ts performed, be placed on ‘waiting or- vers” Special cases, where it is thought tray- eling expenses should properly be allowed, will be referred by the office of detail to the Secre- tary of the Navy, How THE Prue} iT Preranes His Mes- ®aGEs.—The President in preparing his annual messages to Congress usually commences about ten days before the opening of the session, and d: votes about two hours each beef in the fore- noon, tothe work. He writes rapidly, and with no reference to notes, further than to refreah his memory as to subjects which he proposes to write about. Devoting two hours each day to it, be usually completes itin about foardays, or cight hour works. He examines tho: oughly the various departmental reports,statistics included, before he begins work, and carefully stores his mind with the contents. After he prepares the document he reads it tothe Cabinet and re- quests the members to make such suggestions as they desire concerning their respective de- partments. If such suggestions meet ap- proval they are in d in the message, and the document is then handed to Messrs. Luckey and Sniffin, who prepare two perfect copies for the Senate and House. atter which they mauifold eix or eight copies for the press.
