THE ANNUAL REPORT OF CHIEF BROOKS, OF THE TREASURY SECRET SERVICE—A REVIVAL OP THE MANUFACTURE OF SPURIOUS PAPER MONEY. ‘Mr, James J. Brooks, chief of the secret service division of the Treasury, has made a report of the operations of that division during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1834, to the Solicitor of the Treas- ury. ‘The number of arrests made were 493. Forty- nine persons were acquitted of the charges against | them and five prisoners escaped from custody. ‘The amount ot counterfelt money captured or sur- rendered during the year_was $684,630, a large pro- portion of which was in flash notes. ‘A marked de- crease 1s noted in the circulation of cards in tmi- tation of United States treasury notes and metal tokens In imitation of United States coin for advertising purposes. Manufacturers, becoming Detter acquainted with the requirements of tye law, have substituted other designs for the tml- tation of gold and silver coins for use as bangles. ‘The report says the events of the past year give evidence of 8 revival of the manutsetare ict counterfelt paper money which was practical Suspended during te years 1852 and. 105i, Chict Brooks 1s of opinion that there 1s to-day in the hands of countericiiers nearly $200,000 of new spurious notes of the denominations of $10 and 320, which have been produced since January 1st, 1884.

Atwood, United States consul to San Domingo, a colored republican politician of Louts- fana, one of Kellogg's workers, is at the Ebbitt house, He talks freely of the condition of the col- ored people in the south. He says he took the stump and spent money for Blaine in his state, not ‘Decause he liked Biaine, but asa party man. The colored men in the south, he says, do not like Blaine on aceount of his opposition to the Force Dill, and it was impossible to get up any enthusi- asm for him. “BOURBONS” AND “SILK STOCKINGS.” “The colored peoplein the south,” he anid, “have ‘Deen deserted by the party since 1876, and they are not depressed by Biaine’s defeat. They think, on the contrary, that the election of Cleveland ts going to prove a benefit to them. You see, there Are two factions in the democratic party in une south—the ring democrats or bourbons and the silk “ran who are the ®usimess men and best citizens in the south. These will be thrown fur- ther apart by Cleveiand’s election. They will form two parties, and they will be the oniy parties in the south.” ‘The colored people will divide, some spel 3 the bourbons and some the silk stock ings. There won't be any race lines.

If he had, probably he would not have been defeated. No, the statement that the colored people in Ihe south were not allowed to vote Is not true. ‘There is some intimidation In the country districts in the south, but very litte In thecities. “Certain!

Cleveland Not a Spoils Democrat. VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVE MITCHELL, OF CON- NECTICUT. Representative Mitchell, of New Haven, Conn, arrived in the city yesterday and was warmly con- gratulated by fellow democrais. It was in his dis- trict that the Butler movement was counted upon to play havoc with the democrats by taking away Yotes enough to give Blaine the state. But Mr. Mitchell, after obtaining a renomination by accla- mation, Went to work vigorously. ‘The result was ‘that he was re-elected by a increased ma- Jority, and the additional votes he got aided ma- terially in pulling Cleveland through. In conver- Anybody who expects Cleveland w pursue. the old vi 0 veland wo Polley ot ‘the spolls” will be greatly disappointed. He antteipates @ conserva- lve policy-and_ to exclude mere. ‘from ideration in making appointinents, Mr. Mitch ell added that among Connecticut democrats very little has been said's0 far about the make-up of Cleveland’s Cabinet. Mr. Blaine Upon the Solid South. ‘WHAT A SOUTHERN MAN SAYS. In his speech at Augusta last night Mr. Blaine declared that in the south “‘no man who was loyal to the Union, no matter how strong a democrat he may be to-day, has the slightest chance of political promotion.” A southern publle man said ta Sra reporter to-day that “Speaker Carlisle is a conspicuous refutation of this assertion. Repre- ‘sentative Hancock of Texas, is another. Senator Brown, of Georgia; Gen. Woodford, of Kentucky, and Representatives Morgan and Fyan, of Mis- ‘sourl, nay also be added to the Ust.

A scheme by which numerous federal ,oftictals ‘Whose regular terms are about toexpire couid be retained in office under the coming democratic ad- ministration has been discussed and enlarged upon inthe newspapers of late. The visit of Senator Don Cameron to this city, it has been represented was for theexpress: of outwityng President- elect Cleveland and of retaining certain pollticat friends of isin office in Pennsylvania. ‘The plan mentioned is that Presiaent Arthur shall reappoint all officials, or name republican successors for them, whosé terms expire or about to expire by the 4th of March and have them all confirmed by the Tepublican Senate at the approaching session, ‘Then it is claimed Cleveland would not be able to remove them or to put in new men as thelr succes- sors, becatise a republican Senate would not con- firm democrats 11 solely to oust republi- cans, REPUBLICAN SENATORS ADVERSE TO SUCH A RE- mova ‘The few republican Senators who have been in ‘Washington during the past few days, as a rule, do not believe that there wilL be any systematic movement looking tothe maintenance of federal off- clalsin place. In. the first piace, these Senators do not apprehend any collision between the democratic executive and the republican Senate of the next Congress, Nor to democratic fear any- ‘thing of the Kind. A Star fer has taliced with Several democratic Senators who have discussed the situation as it wiilexist after the 4th of next Mareb, with friends of theirs bel to the re- Publican side ot the chamber.
