TPo-day the New York Times has this from Washington: nator Allison, with the party from Wa congress at the Boston merehants’ carries with him a speceh in which 1 talk about the tariff, bankiuptey bill, and wilver. His well known moderate protective views make it safe to assunie what will be the gene cossity for or expediency of taritf revision. His disposition toward the bankruptey bill is friendly. Not long ago, while in Chicago on his way to Washington, he expressed his opinion that possibly a suflicient opposition to continue silver eoinage mizht be developed to effect a suspension of that coi He has revised that opinion, and will, it is un- derstoad, not only say that therc is no hope of arepeal of the silver + act, but no necessity for such an act, and no danger to red from a failure to stop the coinage the silver dollar. Senator Voorhees, Mr. Rewan, Mr. Willis, and one or two other congressmen on the silver side, may add their opinions to those of Mr. Allison, and prevent some animated eriticism among the *Gold Bugs™ of the far east, The silver men arce growing more confident daily, and the announcementis made that they propose to advoeate continued silver coinage ) the heart of thesection opposed to it. 1t is not only a sign of their contidence, but an exhibition of the tecling tfrequently observed here of a determination on the part of the west to resent any sort of dowination by eastern men, A PROFITLESS VENTURE, Western stump orators have recently as- serted that thousands of silver dollars are Dbeing coined illegally for the profit on silver. Chief of the Sceret Service Brooks was seen by the BEE correspondent to-day and asked s to his knowledge of this subject. e re- replied: *“These stories are absurd. I never yet run aeross a single picee of silver ot the Standard value which was coined outside of the mints, There are two v why no such coinage is likely. Eirst, becanse rfciter is not fool enough to put nts worth of silver into a bozus coin when he can wmake an excellent imitation with thirty cents worth of metal. The se ond reason is that the plants, dies, ete., for successiully coining genuine silver would coxt 50 much that the counterfeiter would have to keep his men at work night and day for three months betore he could begin to realize & profit on his investment, and my ex- perience teaches me that the averaze life of a counterfeiting estublishiment is not more than three months.” POSTAL CHANGES IN Willis M.

Brad- shaw has been threatening this for several years, but thus far his sensation has failed to pan out. Bradshaw is one of those untortun- ate individuals who never know when they arewell off. He owes his political prefer- ment to the good oftices of Mr. Hazen, yet he tried to run the entire postoftice department, | failed and was dischar hence lis sensa- | tional prowmises, ‘The following report, made by Chief Inspector Sharp to Postmaster Gen- Tatton last winter, explains the wotive which animates the former just now: in obedience to your instruetions. the honor to report that, as to the result of my investigation as to the manaer in which Moses Bradshaw, chiet of the stamp division, has conducted the business of that oftice, and as to his efliciency and faithfulness as an of- ticer, that Tam thoroughly convineed: First:—That Mr. Bradshaw is ineflicient, | and has not the qualitications necessary to the proper and eflicient administration of so important a division. Second:—That Mr. Bradshaw has been in- subordinate to sueh an extent as to seriously embarrass the administration of the burcau of which his division is a very important branch, “Third:—That his conduet in the suppres- sion of a very iwportant report passing throngh his hands by one of his subordinates, and in obedience to the written order of the postmaster-general, clealy indicates that he was not taithful to his trust, or was grossly ignorant of his duties, Very respectfully, A. G. Suanr, Chief Inspector. THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION, There are indications that the Hoar bill regulating the presidential succession will be opposed by the majority in the house as it was during the last congress. One of the organs of the democraey has sounded alprm. The princival objection raised to the measure is that it is defective in that it does not contemplate a new election to fill the vacancies, but vests the succession per manently, during the balance of the term, in a non-elective oficer. The Post urges the amendument of the bill so as to conform to that passed by the last senate, which pro- vided that the eabinet oflicer succeeding to the presidency shall serve only until a new election can be held. Asan argumentin favor of this amendment it sa; “The con- tingeney might arise of the death of both president and viee president before the swear- g in of those oflicials or before the contirm- ation of any member of the new cabinet, in which event a cabinet ol a mere ap- omtee of the president and senate, might hold the oftice for the whole term of four years, although of opposite politics from the president and vice president just elected.” There is & beliet, however, that the bill will eventually pass the lower house, in spite of the astrologists and seers of the democratic party who are just now engaged in conjuring up baleful contingencies. 1t is equally tain that if an attempt is made to amend the bill the attempt will fail, PETS OF THE NAVY, Naval cireles are at present anxiously awaiting the course of onv of the “pets” of the service now that he has again been or- dered 1o s Lient. J. D, J, Kelley has again been ordered to veport tor duty on board the United States steamer Tallapoosa on Jan ry 5. The Tallapoosa will jomn the south Atlantic squadron aud will do river duty on u io Plata, Montevideo. Kelley has fr quently been ordered to sea, but Kelley intluence and does not like sea serviv He prefers ball room duty and germans, Mis suceess in seeuring the revoeation of orders lias been the seandal of the navy for years, and it has come 1o be regarded as a toregone | conclusion that Kelle ca orders are made simply to be revoked.

I have n tat mpelled to revoke the ast order inorder to have time to look after the other allairs of the department. Nobody in the navy expeets that Kelley will join the Tala. poosa just as the social season of the capital is dawning. Another young naval oficer who has been peeuliar ly fortunate in this respect Is Lientenant 1. A. Fiske who s telated by murioge to the powerful mugwump tamily of New York, the Harpers. Fiske succeeded in-getting out of sea duty several times during the early days of the adwinistration of Mr. Whitney AU last, however, he was ordered to the Brooklyn, and atter some protest he joine that ship. But sea life was distasterul o him and Lie is now here again, He only spent six weeks on the Brooklyn when ceded in bringing in ) to bear to secure | his 1f these naval dre a re- sign they could get out of sea service and &t | the swme thue they would afford an oppor- tunity for worthy youns wen to secure coin- wissions of which they are now devrived owing to the fact that the register of the navy is crowded with the names of just such shivks as Messrs, Kelley, Fiske, Bacon, et al, T GHANT MONUMINT FUND.

The polygamous Mormon in Utah to-day would make a poor showing in comparing the num ber of his wives with those of Joseph Smith or Brigham Young., Even the late Bishop Lee, who liad only nineteen wives, including one very old and ugly one whom he married just to save her soul, would beat three or four of the best familics to-day. “1 don’t believe, he said, “that in Utah to-day there is ¢ Mormon with more than seven wives.” OFFICIAL ks, Friends of the congressional library are contident that the bill to provide for a suita ble building for this important adjunet to the governuent will become alaw at this session. The chict opposition in the last congress ean from Mr. Samuel J. Randall, whose opinions have been shorn to a considerable extent Washington will also, inail probability, be supplied with a_suitable postofiice building “The present edifice is one of the worstin the country. It has not a_ solitary redecming ature,and is unsafe and utterly unfit for any government purpose. The building was for merly used as a lotel, and the government now pays a rental of $5,000, When the lease expires it will be diflicult for the owners to secure £500 rent for it, even for tencment purposes, and asthie building inspector has condemned it repeatedly, it is doubtiul it a tenement could be found to take it at any price, REVOLUTIONIZING PENSION LAWS, By the time that the call of states for the introduction of bills is completed next week there will have been introduced not less than one hundie and perhaps twice as many) looking to radical changes in the law relating to pensions. There e atl dozen measures prepared which propose to do away with that part of tie present law which requires that a disabled soldier shall prove his soundness on the day of lis enlist- ment before he shall be entitled to a pension. I of these bills propose that it shall be prima facie evidence of a man's physi- cal health that he was aceepted by the enlist- ment oftieers when the war broke out, Another proposition is to renew the limit from the time of filng applications, in order that arrearages may be sceured, and several bills propose to largely increase the rate paid for disabilities, while one goes so far as to ke General Black’s own case the standard by which each totally disabled soldier shail be paid. That is to say, that a man who lost both hands and both™ feet, both eyes, or in other ways totally ineapacitated, shall have $100 a month.

HOLMAN'S INDIAN VIEWS, The Star says that in his report upon the work of the special Indian commitiee who visited the various rescrvations during the summer recess of congress, Mr. Holman is going to recommend the appointment of A commission 10 tuke the matter in eharwe, giving land in severalty to such of the Indians as are tar enough advanced in civilization to warraut such action, and as sembling the rest in one locality us furas practicable. At present, he says. the rescr- vationsare seattered all over” the country, and their lands are useless to the Indians in wany cascs. Some of these Lands shonld be sold in their interest, and sueh of the [ndians as are friendly should be put upon the same reservation in certain cases and kept there until ultimately they have reached that state of civilization that would warrant their having lands in seyv- eralty and becoming eitizens, There are Some cases where it would not do to moye the Indians from their present. locality. o (o interfere with them, as their attachment to their homes Is very strong. In- niost of such cases the land in- Severalty should be given them, INCREASE IN THE PUBLIC DEBT, “The treasuty officials express the opinion, founded on tazt, that Teceipts have heen very light during the month, while pension pay- wents have been made to a considerable wount on account of the last m h, and that the publie debt statement w howW il increase of nearly $2,000,000 during the cur- rent month.
