Gen. Garfield, accompanied by his wife, ar rived in the city by the day express tratn on the B. and P. R. R. ats o'clock last evening. ‘There were about one hundred persons at the depot, and as he left the cars he was cheered. He was met by Col. Bob Ingersoll, and there Was a warm greeting between them. At the re- juest of Gen. Garfield there was no public lemonstration, though delegations from several of the political organizations were on hand to Welcome him in a private way. President Hayes sent his carriage down to the depot, and in it General Garileld and his wife aud Coionel Rockwell drove to General Garfleld’s residence, corner 13th and I streets. Gen. Garfleld will remain in the city several days. His visit here is to attend to private matters ages © He looks well, and 3] king about his health Said the excitement of the campaign benefited instead of injuring him, and that he feels better for it. On arriving at his home he held a briet informal reception. several of his intimate friendscajling on him. During Gen. Garfleld’s eee in city prominent politicians may expected to bear down on Washington. Al- though the President-elect is here on strictly private business, he will, no doubt, have to Stand some interviewing by those who have an eye to “the insolence of office.”’ In the Senatori- al fight tn Ohio between Secretary Sherman and Governor Foster Gen. Garfield wiil take no part. Toafriend he said: “I will hold myself aloot from this complication, and not allow my right head to know what my left hand doetn.” Gen- eral Garfield is in excellent health, as stated above. He will dispatch his business here a3 quickly as possible. His anxiety is to get away before Congress convenes, and go to his Mentor home, and spend bis first winter in Ohio for twenty years. He will rent his I street house, furnished, for the winter. An occupant has al- Teady been found for It, it is said, in the person of Majcr Swaim, of thé army, At all events, some one has secured it, a3 Gen. Garfield do. clined an offer to purchase it, made by a Wiscon- sin Congressman, CALLERS AT THE GENERAL'S RESIDENCE TO-D. The door bell of General Gartlek on I street was on the ring to. rom early morp. He had any number of callers, among them were General Sherman, George C. Gor Lam, General Van Vilet, Col. Rockwell, Robert C, Ingersoll and Assistant Secretary French of the Treasury department. George C. Gorhain had along coversation with him. The Presi- dent-elect received THE Srak reporter very cor- dlaliy and sald that he had nothing to say, be cause he was not here on business that would interest anyone but himself. ‘My visit and Its objects Can be summed up verv shortly,” he “[ am here on strictly private matters and I will remain two or three days. Whether it 1s two days or three days will de- pend entirely upon how much time that busi- Less will demand.”* This afternoon General Garfield called on the President. ‘The Tennessee Senatorship. | WHAT COL, BURCH, SECRETARY OF THE SENATE, SAYS. Col. Burch, Secretary of the U.S. Senate, sald to a STaR reporter to-day that the talk of elect- ing arepublican to the Senate from Tennessee Was ridiculous. “The democrats,’ said he, “have a majority of six over all, and will elect a democratic Senator.” a8 Mr. Maynard any chance?” one in the world. Why, if the legislature was republican there are fifteen or twenty re- ublicans in Tennessee who would have a etter chance than Maynard. The fact that Mr. Maynard 1s the Postmaster General raises the hope in certain republican circles that he cap, by giving certain democrats cross-road ost offices, induce some of them to vote for im. In this view the republicans seem to measure the democratic corn with their own half bushel. They are so used to reaching re- sults through official patronage that it is con- sidered a lever to accomplish almost anything, but it will not avail in Tennessee.” “Who will be the Senator?” “Well, I think Senator Bailey will succeed himself. This for two reasons. If the demo- crats caucus for the candidate he is sure to be. If they refuse to caucus for a selection and the contest 18 an open one, republicans, in such event, would vote for Batley rather than have him beaten by a democrat. His chance of the election is better, decidedly better, than any candidate I know of.” ABOUT MAHONE. “will Mahone act with the democrats, THE Star reporter. “I feel assured,” said Col. Burch, “that he will. Mahone ts in a position to expect favors at the hands of the democrats, and if he is \yeated with consideration he will act with his party.” Gur Small Note Circulation. WHAT THE REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER OF CUR RENCY WILL SHOW AND SAY. From advance sheets of the report to Congress of the Controller of the Currency, it is seen that on the date of the resumption or specie pay- ments, (after which {t was provided by law skea that the national banks should not be provided yee Dl of denominations less than five dol- ars) the amount of ones outstanding wa3 517; Of twos, $2,924,930; total, $7,715,747. at date the ones have been reduced $2,501,355, and the twos $1,717,670, making a total reduction of small bank notes of $4,219,025. Tho amount of one dollar legal tender notes out- standing on the date of resumption was and of twos $20,035, total, and the increase since to Novem- iss, has been $3,491,534, It 1s that while the smail notes of ber 1, seen national banks have been reduced more than $4,0C0,600, the small legal tender notes have been increased $3,491,584. ‘The total of small legal tender and national bank notes outstanding on November i, 1330, was $47,988,940.

New York, Nov. %4.—The Herala continucs its attacks, with unabated ardor, upon John Kelly, accusing him of hypocrisy to the Irish race and of official malfeasance and of being responsible for misspent appropriations. It says the public parks are all in a frightfully dl. lapidated condition, with “timbers rotting. magonry crumbling and structures distigured by obscure penclilings,” all of which it sums up as “the Diight of <Kellyism.” ‘Treating of the proposed reorganization ot the democratic party, the Herald says Kelly is scheming to continue his control, and iftbe democrats permit it he will “eat out its vitality like a monstrous political devil-fish.” The 7ri- dune reads the democratic Congressmen a lec- ture as to their duties in the coming sesston. It says the democrats have trifled with and evaded public interests In Congress for four jears, spending the time in political plotting: that a great deal of important public business bas accumulatea, and if the democrats wish to lessen the public feeling of disgust with their party, let them take up and carry out the re- commendations of the administration as to public wants and needs. The bune also ridicules the —_demoers advocacy cr a civil service reform as a schome to save a few democratic office holders. ‘The Times holds that the election of Goy. Brown t the U. S.

Garfeid, t: regard to Judge Dittenboefer, in connection with the forged Morey letter, republicans should not grow indignant at the charge of an agreement having been made at Mentor between Garfield and Conkling. It intimates a belief that such an agreement was entered into. The World commends the good taste Gen, Garfield has shown In declining to be “re- ceived with brass bands,” etc., at this time, be- fore he has been officially declared President elect.

A recommendation {ts also made to decrease the fee for money orders.of $ and less to 5 cents, and in order to meet the loss of revenue aridag from this | reduction. to increase the limit of orders from | $50 to $100. Attention Is called to the large tn- crease in the foreign money order business aur- | ing the last fiscal year, the Increase ranging | from 22 per cent to 82 percent.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. The Postmaster General Suggests the estab- Ushment of a “postal savings” system, and also of postal telegraphs in this country tn the fol- lowing terms: One Of my predecessors some years since rec- ommended the incorporation tnto the depart- ment of a system of postal savings. The sub ject has from time to time occupied the auten- lion of Congress. For several years the system has been in operation in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and in Canada. When in London muy Her Majesty's postmaster neral kindly gave me faciiities of ok the management of his department. I learne that the postal savings system had been re. markably successful, and had constantly grown in popular favor. AS manag! in that country ft is a source of x promt to the government. In this country 1 icine to the bellef that the system would have advan tages even greater than Ina compact popula- lion Uke that of Great Britain. : | Weaith, public and private, consists langely of the savings of production over consumption — small tn detail but enormous tn the aggregate. ; In by far the larger portion of the United States | there are no savings depositories, and are not | likely to be. To the people of Unese parts the | use of the postoitice for this purpose would be & | Teal boon. It would bean additional advantage | that deposits would be avaliable at any depost- tory Office in the United States—an important j consideration with a people so migratory as ours. It is believed the system would rnterfere | ttle with the business of ube savings baok | but would absorb funds not deposited in taem. | Nor would the patronage of the goverament be | sensibly Increased, since the system would be cc} operated by persons already in the public ser vice, With no considerable addition to the num ber. Your attention, and Ube attention of Con- gress, ts respectfully invited to It. POSTAL TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT. During my visit to tbe British post office, 1 ex- amined, with much interest, the system of tele graphy for several years Connected with the Postal service. ‘This method of correspondence ‘thought to have made a great advance since it Was Changed from the managementof private corporations, responsible to nobody—hardly to public opinion—and placed under the control of the post office. The business has increased many fold, the cost of sending messages has been largely reduced and the service is per- formed in localities tt would never have reached under the pecuniary stimulus of private enter- | prise, At the same time, it yields a margin of profit to the royal treasury. is it not time for us to renew the inquiry whether it is wise to leave this important instrument of correspond- ence in charge of corporations whose primary object is gain to the managers and stockholders, and the convenience of tue public secopdary ouly? ‘THE POST OFFICE AND THE LOTTERIES. { Mr. Maynard renews for the consideration of Congress the su; jon made by his predeces- | Sor, Unat the wor fraudulent,” as it occurs In sections 3,929 and 4,041 of the revised statutes, preceding the word “ lottery,” shouid bestricken out.
