It will be remembered that Mr. H. was reappointed before the adjournment of Congress, and the appointment was con- firmed by the Senate. THE APPOINTMENTS of chiefs of divisions of records and files, mails and appoint- ments of the Treasury department, will not be made until the return of Secretary Bria- tow next week.

After the exchange shall have been made, the notes will be traneferred to the Con- troller of the Currency to be recounted. They re then to be destroyed, either by reduction to ashes or being made {nto a pulp, Congress having leftitoptional with the department to use either process. In view of the noxious odors emitted by the burning process, the citizens hereabouts would, by all moans, prefer that the redeemed currency be reduced to pulp. No rripa have yet been received by the Treasury department in response tothe circular of Secretary Bristow, issued to the banks, re- questing bids for subscription to the balance of the new five per cent. loan, aggregating up: wards of one hundred and ‘seventy-nine mil lions. None really are yet expected. The bide are to be opened at 12 o'clock noon on the instant, and inasmuch as the law requires t. bidders sha'l deposit with their bids an amount equel to two per cent. of the sum subscribe those contemplating investment prefer to real ize interest on the Geposit moneys required until the last moment. It is anticipated that a day or two before the day of award a large number of bids will be received from responsi- bie capitalists. Naval OnpeRs.—Passed Assistant Surgeon John C.
