Our Washington correspondent says that thero is nothing in the outlook to discourage Mr. Stall's ambitions for the position ol Public Fxinter. Mu.n. Berxiiakdt appeared at Victor Hugo's residence soon after his death w&3 announced dresecd completely in white. She brought: with her an immense crown of white io:es. Tue first dispatches that came announcing the death of Victor Hugo indicated that he died in great agony. This is not confirmed. A cablegram eajs that the dying man lay in a trance for eome hours before the end. He awoko suddenly, raised his head, gazed at his family and friends standing around the bed, and sank back 1 Ileitis. It is now proposed to run a train through irom New York City to Chicago in twentyfour hours. This will certainly be very rapid traveling. This is an entirely new train and the cars will bo built expressly for this service. They consiet of elaborate drawing-room, sleeping, and dining coaches, and a bullet smoking and reading-room car. This train will also have a fast connection i)T Cincinnati. The Hon. John C. WicklllTe, who was ap pointed United Btates Attorney for Ken tucky last Saturday, Is the son of Ex-Gov erncr Charles WlckllLTe, of Kentucky, who was Fostmaster General under President Taylor's administration. He Is fifty-five years old, tlx feet high, and weighs ISO pounds. He is & man of splendid appearance and great dignity, and a lawyer of established ability. He was born and raised in Kelson County, and no man stands higher in the estimation of those who know him. The appointment is pronounced a capital one. Tnc Republican Legislature of PennsylY&nia has been in cession four or five months. Our Legislature was In session about three months, and the organs have only recently ccd. talking about iu The Pennsylvania concern took good care to gerrymander the Etata. It pzsd a Congressional Apportion cent bill list rresk which gives the Republicans eighteen and the Democrats eight sure districts, whila two ere naturally Democratic, bot considered debatable. One of them

has been represented for years by Congressman Brumm, who has been elected because of h!s greenback proclivities. Philadelphia is given six instead of five districts, as now. Ex-Speaier Randall's district is left strongly Democratic. All the other Philadelphia districts are surely Republican.

Mr.. WniTSEY, Secretary of the Navy, Is determined that Mr. John Roach shall earn every cent he gels out of the Treasury. The Dolphin must fill tho bill even if every cent in the vaults at Washington was found correct the other day. By the way, the opposition press has little or nothing to say about tho Navy Department. Chandler and his modes need defending quite as much as the Interior Department under Teller. THE VICE PRESIDENT AT HOME. The Vice President returned to his home in this city on Saturday. Many of his friends gathered to welcntue hint at his home, and to them he spoke a few words. He did not intend that they should grow into a formal, conventional address, therefore they partook more of the impromptu utterances of a gentleman who was simply entertaining his neighbors in a quiet, unostentatious manner. It was not demanded that Mr. Hendricks Ehould give any reason why he remained in Washington a few weeks after the adjournment of the B.nate. The Democrats of Indiana were perfectly tatlsficd with whatever efforts he saw proper to make in their behalf. The dignity of the Vies Presidential office could never suffer in his hand3. He might have shut himself in his office and rolled himsslf into a robe of conventional coldness and repnleiveness like Colfax, and refused to see or do anything for his friends that crowded to the Capital to welcome him, or like the fraudulent Vice President of 1370, clipped out the back way and gone a fishing. Be cause ho refuted the rolfish and easy course and took upon himself the heat and burden of the day, when he might very easily have evaded it all, we find tho Bourbon Republican preso by direct attack or by coarse and vulgar innuendo constantly atsalling him. The attacks were not important, but Mr. Hendricks tarn 3d aside to glvo brief reasons by ho remained in Washington to look after the intcret3 of the Democrats of Indi ana. HcEaid: "You have been told in cer tain newspapers that I was a beggar for cilice; that euch a course was inconsistent and unworthy of the position which I hold. Is it unbecoming for tho Vice President to plead for the people who elect him to office? Is it unbecoming for a man to ask for his people that which they have earned by their votes? Don't you recollect that I asked, during the campaign, that if defeat should come to the ticket it should not come in Indiana? A certain gentlem&n called me a mendicant beciUEe I asked this of the people. And yet I was In a convention with that man before which he was a candidate, and he got but thirteen votes. I didn't think he appealed very strongly. I don't think he was a mendicant, and I doubt whether he knows the meaning of the term. I appealed to the people because I thought the time had come for a change, and IJanted them to have it. When the fight wa3 over the result was very gratifying to me. I got more than thirteen votes. Indeed I didn't know how many I did get. I asked the people for their votes, and when they asked mo for help I gave it. Wouldn't I have been an lngrale not to have done go? If I commit any fault in this matter I am determined that it shall be in eskirjg and not in refusing to ask for what our people want. Many men come to Washington perfect strangers. From the President down they knew no man connected with the administration, Must no one introdaco these men? Must the offices all be parceled out to men who have influence? and must these who are equally worthy get nothing because no ono will introduce them? I am glad I stayed in Washington six weeks after the adjournment of the Senato. I was there working for my people, and in doing so Uncharged as high a duty as presiding over the deliberations of the Senate. I had no purpose save the good of the people. I did not do this for self, tor I have no idea of being connected with any future ticket, I believe in those doctrlnci which teach that all the people should be represented, and upon them I based my acts." Is thero a Democrat or an honest Republican In the country who can find fault with the sentiments expressed by Mr. Hendricks? - Of couree the Republican organs will tcot and wheeze. It is expected of thorn, and they will meet the expectation. THE TELEGRAPH BOYS. Thero has been considerable uneasiness among telegraph operators throughout the oonntry for several months. It is not easily dt fined, as it is probably yet in a sort of crystallzlng process. A New York special to the Sunday Chicago Tribune eajs that the telegraphers are making extensive preparations for their forthcoming general conven tion, the understanding being that further steps will be taken to unite and strengthen the Telegraphers' Protective Union 'for the purpose, as has been exprested in a circular letter, of "bracing-up against Mr. Jay Gould and his fellow-monopolists." There is a great deal ot mystery attending the arrangements, aud the members of the Union are generally reticent when asked by outsiders for Information regarding the proposed action of the convention. Mr. Taitavall, editor ot the telegraphers' official news paper, said in substance: "I expect that the convention will be attended by delegates from every local union in the United States and Canada. The delegates will probably number about 300. We do not wish at present to make known the exact date and place of meeting. I will cay, however, that the date will be on or about July 5. The place will be announced later. The union is not a'.brand-new institution. It has been in eibtenco about one year. As I understand It, the principal object cf ths forthcoming convention will be to cement together core firmly the subordinate

unions, and therefore to more effectually icstain the rights of the telegraphers all over the land," It was further stated to-day that dksstisfaction existed in many of the, small cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada in regard to the wsge3 received by tho operators and the number of hours which the men were required to work. One of the probable results of the convention, it was thought, would be a general demandfor higher wages and a shorter day's work. Other concessions may also ba de nanded by the union.

THE VALUE OF VERACITY, Whenever we found in the Bourbon Republican organs cf the straight bloody-shirt grade any outrageously improbable story from Washington concerning Mr. Cleveland or membsrs of his Cabinet we would seek for the vemon of the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republican. We did not know who he was, but he was never known as the manufacturer of the stupendous and stupid stories that so frequently have been telegraphed from Washington to the Bourbon Republican organs of the West. It now gives us pleasure to put on record the estimate of this correspondent referred to, as we find it in a special to the Commercial Gazette dated the 22d: Mr. Kdward Fleming, ions a prominent Wah in:: ton eorrcipondent, leaves in the moiuinsio take the position ol manasln? editor of tbo Buffalo Courier. He has been the correspondent of thairnper, of the 8:. I.ouls Republican and the Detroit l'Obl for several years. IIa has been throughout hLsstrvico here a most careful writer. lie is one of ti e best iu formed men ou tho pre 83 in reard to national a Hairs. Do was for many yeara the correspondent ot the Journal of Commerce aud other Eastern finau:Ial journals, and he was a recognized authority here on questions relating to tno Treasury, the banks and ihe revenues, lieiia gentleman of ltberal education and of great pertonal worth, snd Is a man of very marked ability. His associates here part with him with much resret. The Bourbon organs roferred to might improve their reputation if thoy would soenra men of like reputation to lock after their Washington bureaus. That counting of moneys, securities, etc., in the Treasury vaults recently wa9 no small job. To a Washington letter we are Indebted for tho following information. Frty ex pert counters and as many clerks who kept the records wero at work nearly three weks counting tho paper money, bonds, etc. A dozen clerks and as many laborers were at work for a week or ten days counting the gold and silver coin in the vaults. The specie handled aggregated nearly ?12, 000,000 about 0 000,000 silver dollars, S500.000 minor silver coins and $2,000,000 in gold coin. The sliver coin weighed about 270 ton?, and the gold coin about four and a half tons. This hard money, strictly cpeaklng, was not counted, but weighed. Tho silver dollars, when originally placed iu the vaults, were put in bags, each containing l,GO0, coin and bag weighing fifty-nine and one-fourth pounds. The gold was in Dags containing $5,000 each and weighing eighteen and onehalf pounds. A faw bags only were counted and the ethers weighed. Tho paper money and' cecurities handled included a reserve fund of nearly $lGi.COO,000, made up of ?31,000,000 in United States notes, $101,000,000 in gold certificates, and about $20.000,000 in silver certificates, alto interest checks and coupons aggregating lfS.000,000, unissued clearing-house certificates amounting to &35,000,000, and bonds and coupons amounting to 5315,000,000, a total of $372,000,000, which, added to the $12,000,000 in coin, make $031, ooo.coo. Herb is another terrible charge against tho President. It comes, of course, to a Bour bon Republican organ from Washington. The White House cook is to be discharged ! ! ! We hardly know whether the country will stand this sort ot thing much longer or not. The dispatch says: 11 It is intimated that tho White Jlou a establishment Is to be conducted next season cn a much simpler plan thai: it was under the la?t administration, and ths French ccok will find that his earvices are permanently dispensed with. In the fall, when the season for official dinners begins, tho President will appoint a new thoroughly Democratic-mugwump steward in place of the official who has so long presided over the domestic arrangements of the White House." 'A Democratic-mugwump" for tho steward of the White House! This is simply awful; and what makes it more devastating in its effects Is the fact that the present incumbent is not a " Union soldier," but a French cook that tettles his eot. The Rev. Dr. Talmage in his last Friday evening talk to hio people alluded to the late Secretary Frellnghuysea in warm terms He taid that "from first to last in his public and private life Mr. Frelinghuysen had shown an uprightness of character irre proachable and beyond all criticism. His life was. a perpetual rebuke to dema;olsm and political fraud. No bribe ever touched tho palm of his hand; no blasphemous word ever blistered his Up; no blush ot dishonesty ever tinged his cheek. He was never iu any place where it would have been unseemly for him to die. "Let the American people learn that there is such a thing as honesty in politics. Credit Mobllier swept by Mr. FreiinKhnyssn on one side; great land grabbing schemes swept by him on the other.but they neither touched his head nor his heart nor his pocket. Milll ms of dollars were misappropriated from the United States Treasury, but not one quarter of a cent lande In his possession." The appointment of Mr. Bifhop, son of ex Governor Bishop of Ohio, to the Collectorship of Internal Revenue of the Cincinnati District is probably a first cla?s appointment, as the Enquirer gang and the Republicans do not seem to like it. A Cincinnati special cays: 'The Republicans are all broken up here of the appointment of Bishop as Collector of Internal Revenue for this district It was expected that the position would be given to the Enquirer crowd, as the Pendle ton element bad secured several appoint ments in the State before. But the President looked into the matter for himself, it Is said, and selected a man who was hardly in dorsed at all by the politicians. The Corn-

merclal Gt zstte does not seem to know what to say about it. while the Enquirer to-day shows open and bitter hostility to the administration. The business men and citizens generally think the appointment a good

one. Here are a few items that came over the wires a day or two ago that need reproduction occasionally. Secretary Manning says that the records of the New York Custom Houso on file at the Treasury Department show a gradnal, but decided, rednotion in the expense of conducting the business of tat office. Tho pay roil for tho month of October, 18S1, amounted to $250,000. The pay roll for the month of April, 1S35, amounted to $21i,9C0. The pay roll for the month of May, 1S5, just received at the Department, amounts to $227,000, or $17,900 ess than for the monthf April and $29,000 less than for the month of October last. These are the sort of arguments that will take the Hap and flutter outcf the bloody ehirt that tho opposition papers persist in flying. When they ay "copperhead," the foregoing echoes back "business" and "economy in the public expenditures." Ix an admirable editorial critique upon Victor Hugo, the Chicago Tribuno says: "During his life in Paris he has been almost worshiped by Parisians, from the gamins and lowest rabble of the Commune to the highest circles. He had such a wide range of sympathies, such an impatient and enthusiastic hatred of oppression, such a large interest in tho strivings cf all people toward freedom, that he commended himself to all, though his warm im'pulsea often carried him to a point where he condoned dangerous offenses. He wea a Radical in politico, a Liberal in thought, and a humanitarian in every-day practice. Great men are not so plenty in Franca to day that such a giant as Victor Hugo can be spared. His death leaves a shadow behind it all the darker that the remaining lights glimmer eo feably in comparison with the illumination he shed on all around him." The New York Times says that the reply given by Mr. Lothrop to the charges of the New York Tribune is conclusive." "It appears that Mr. Lothrop had not the slightest knowledge of certain facts which were afterward disclosed. He was retained by the President ot the bank, Mr. Tiletson, and he ha? always supposed that his em ployer did not know at the time that part of tho money had been paid thirteen years before to an attorney of Detroit. Tb.6 whole matter was thoroughly discussed and settled a quarter of a century ago in Michigan, whero Mr. Lothrop needs no defense. That the miserable attack made upon him in this city has excited the indignation of men of both parties there is shown by the action taken yesterday in tho Michigan Legislature, where a resolution denouncing the slanderer was introduced by a Republican and parsed by a unanimous vote in bcth houses." "This Dolphin bueiness is getting seriou," says the New YorK Herald, and further re marks: 'There is a wild report about town that Secretary Whitney intended to ask Mr, Roach to send the Dolphin to eea. Surely the Secretary would not be so cruel as that. Mr. Roach has kept tho Dolphin in the smooth wate" of the Sound so far. Is it quite fair to aak hint to send her - to eea? Will not Mr. Roach ask the Secretary to go along? At any rate, If Mr. Reach concents to actually go to sea in one of his own ships, he had better provision her for six months." Perhaps the Dolphin was not intended "to go to sea." Perhaps It is ono of the old tricks to get money out of the Treasury, so frequent during the reigns of Kobeeon and Chandler. The Republicans of Virginia propose to nominate for Governor Mr. John Wise. He is a son of Henry A. Wise, who hanged John Brown. The Republicans of the country will, of course, sympathize with him none tho less on this account. He is a Republican, and that does away with tho sins of the fathers for generations back; and then Brown's soul goes "marching on" in tho person of the eon ot the father who sent it "marching on."

The speakers' remarks were received with applause until one of them took occasion to abuse Abraham Lincoln, whom he deroanced as a hypocrite.

In the tumult which followed, nobody was hurt, and after order had been restored, the meeting was allowed to proceed. General Graut' Condition. New York, May 21.
