Tury Don't Like It.—The order of the Secretary of the Treasury changing the stations of supervisors of internal revenue, (mentioned elsewhere in THE STar,) has sed a wonderful stir among the super- visors and their friends in Congress. It is very evident that the order of the Secretary, if enforced, will break not a few political wires. But, as supervisors are not employed to run the political machine, nor act as the henchmen of any political aspirant, itis very likely that the order of the Secretary w il be enforced. The proposed change has for its object the securing of 4 ter efficiency in that branch of the public service; and it is to convince the people throughout the country that the revenue laws are the sam> in all ‘sections. The only objection to the change is made Se grounds. Early this morning Senat Logan and Represen- tative Ward, of lilinois, with Supervisor Munn, were in consultation with the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue on the subject. The result of the interview has not yet trans- jred. Immediately after the departure of is visitors, the Commissioner visited Secre- tary Bristow at the Arlington. Subsequently Supervisors Munn and Tutton visited the Executive Mansion to consult the President. | Fernando Wood), ass It is understood that nearly all the super- visors concerned in the e, in- | stead of ing to obey the order of the Secretary are rushing ‘on to Washi "— not to tender their resignations. but pro- test against the change. The President has ) Old-fashioned notions about obedience to or- ders, and may possibly answer the protest of | these xentlemen with the request that if they | | cannot obey the orders of the Secretary of | the Treasury they can resign and give way | to men who can. It is sald. there is a large | Bumber of competent gentlemen who are | ready and willing to step in and obey orders ! without questioning them, Society, Ete. The rain ceased and the sun came out just in time for the afternoon calls of yesterday. The receptions, though not so large, were e agreeable, if possible, than those of Wednesdays. Indead, the regret is universally expressed that these pleasant re- unions are to cease fora time at least. —Ata recent dinner party a gentleman said be would like to know the theological | physiology of terrapin.

The time would come when Fes gow would die, but his- tory showed that legisiation had never put down, but on the contrary, agrayated popu- lar prejudices. rv. E. R.

They all spoke of the negroes as “these le,” and in a sneering way, He did not believe that the passage of this act would affect the status of the colored people in the late slave states, because the enforcement of all their rights depended upon the action of juries in the vicinage.

THE GREAT NEVADA “bonanza,” or gi- gantic “pocket” of silver and gold seems to have something the matter with it. The prices of mining shares in San Francisco, which recently rose so rapidly, have taken the downward track. The two favorites, «Consolidated Virginia” and “California,” have receded 20 per cent., whilst the others have within a week declined from 10 to 59 percent. Just why this is so is not yet very plainly evident, but the stock market is too good & barometer not to be carefully observed by prudent investors. The “bonanza” ex- citement has had much in its rise that re- sembled our petroleum fever of ten or a dozen years ), and it isquite probable that it will resemble that remarkable excitement in its decline. Both have had a solid basis for legitimate business, but not for wild specu- lation. THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY made some pro- gress on the Ventavan constitutional bill yesterday.
