POLITICAL.

A Boston dispatch says that N. W. Bingham, a special agent of the Treasury, has refused to resign. He says that his office is neither political nor partisan, that ho has served faithfully for a long while, and that he has taken no “offensive” stand in recent campaigns. John Bigelow’s resignation of the Sub-Treasurership at New York is believed to be due to an unwillingness to be responsible for so much money. Washington telegram: “Mr. Evarts, in his New York interview, has not chosen to affirm or deny the report that upon the reassembling of the Senate ho will make a speech upon the silver question which will much resemble that of Senator Beck. It is reported here that Senator Evarts is going to charge in his speech that but for the attitude of tlie Arthur administration the Silver Commission to Europe, of which he was a member, could have secured an international agreement which would have solved the silver question and given the Unite ! States all the advantages that such an arrangement can bring.” It is reported tint Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, holds that under the tenure-of-office act the President cannot remove an official without the consent of the Senate, and in case the Senate refuses to confirm nominations made to succeed suspended officia's the latter are restored to office until their successors are confirmed.
