WASHINGTON.

The Senate Committee on Printing, by a vote of two to one, has decided to report adversely the nomination of I'ublic Printer Benedict, ami lie will probably to rejected. Tho fight against him. biivh a Washington special, has been mailo by tho Typographical Union through its local representatives, and /the objections advanced hav-o been many. Mr. Henedict is not a practical printer in tho moon? ing of lhe law. which requires that the num at the head of this great institution shall be one, He has been the publisher of a country newspaper, but never learned tho trade and never worked at it, although in his IniHineas he lias picked up a general knowledge of tho art. lie is not a member of the union. Ho boa not recognized the union in the mana,-ement of the office, and hits got the whole labor element down on him because of some petty indiscretions. Ho bus appointed -to positions under him as inanv ns thirty persons from the town whore he lived w hen he ro| this office, a little village in New York, und hns dismissed old and influential members of the union to give thorn places. Ho hns bad the lijg-heod to mi unlimited extent, and, coming from a little country weekly newspaper office to bo the manager of the biggest printing institution in tiro world, he has.an idea that he is as great a man as tho President <it the United States. Ho has treated the Seuutort like ordinary applicants for office, and they do not relish such conduct after the deferential luunners of Rounds and his staff. Another mistake Benedict has made is to attribute all the bait management at tho printing office to tho condition in which things wore left by his predecessor. It could not bo expected that a new mon would come in and get on without friction, and complaint was natural, but Jienedict tells everyone, and wrote a letter w Congress, charging all the blame to Rounds, and tho latter has a good many friends in the Senate, who have resented this sort of scapegoat business, and they axe for rejection.

prialiiig $200,000 for the erection of a soldiers’ monument in Circle Park, at Indianapolis. ; PriiMt’ Printer Benedict’s nomination has been acted on adversely by the Senate Printing Committee. A Washington special to the Chicago Time* pays: .TUp immediate groqnd. for deciding against him/ is that the law requires that the office should be held by a practical printer,, and Mr. Henedict is not a practical printer. His business is that of a publisher of a country paper. But, aside from this legal objection, he has not made a very good impression here. He went into the office with the idea, which he aired on every possible occasion, that everybody who bal been in the office before him was a rascal, and that ho had come on to institute reform with a capital It. Ho discharged several hundred employee at once, on the ground that .the pay-roll bal been run up far beyond what the appiopiiations warranted, trtit he has since been gradually filling up the office again, until it is said ou good authority that there are m< re people employed,in the office than there over weiy bofor’u. When peoplo have gone to him for'empl lyment and presented letters frtmi Senators ho has intimated with an Indiscreetdegree,of frankness that if they would gettbeir Senatorial friends to confirm him lie w ould roe what li > could do about making places for them. It isn't ixilitical etiquette to talk about swaping influence in this open and undisguised manner, and Senators do not like to be told that they must bustled round and vote for the Public Printer's continuation before tin will treat their letters of recommendation with respect. These letters aro somotiynes given to really needy persons who uro of no possible use to Senators, hilt whim kind-hearted Senators are willing to help to find places where they can, earn a dollar or two a day, aro not exactly in position tn go to Ntnrrtrfrs and rn ike them vote for the Public Printer's eoutirmution.

MANNING’S RESIGNATION

Text of the Correspondence Between the President and the Secretary. Predicting a Serious Financial Situation— Mr. Cleveland Expresses His Regrets. . Following is the correspondence between the President and Secretary Manning in regard to the latter’s withdrawal from the Cabinet: 1

MANNING’S LETTER OF RESIGNATION. My Dear Sib: In view of the near adjournment of Congress, and in order that time may suffice for tile selection and confirmation of my successor, I desire again to place my resignation of the office of Secretary Of the Treasury in your bands, and trust that you will now deem its acceptance no detriment to the public service. When you requested me last June to delay insisting u; bn the acceutance of my resignation, as again in our conference last October, you honored me with such terms of personal consideration and expr. ssed so grave a decision in respect to the requirements of the public service that it was as impossible to question my duty as to forget your kindness, I have not spun d myself in the endeavor to comply with j our wish and to contribute to the support of tho i>olicies which have illus'.rated your administration. The approaching end of the FortyiiiilthX’ongrcss marl s a period In your own term of office and in the divisions of our political calen-iar. If a change inust occur in the heads of departments and at your council board it is clear that your personal convenience and the public interests are best subserved should it occur now. Moreover, the financial situation Is to be seriously different from that which opened before us when the present Congress entered v.-pon its life and upon the opportunities created by a transfer of the people’s trust to new hand s. In this most critical condition the circumspect execution of a w.se fiscal policy, or of administrative reforms in the collection and disbursements of our collosal revenues, is net alone demanded, though labors such as these have exacted and exhibited the abilities of our foremost statesmen since the constitution of the Government. But there is also an exhausting ground of daily administrative tasks which, however subordinate and clerical, ah efficient Secretary of the Treasury cannot, or should not, evade. These are tasks beyond my present strength. I therefore submit to your considerate judgment that in asking release by the 4th of March, or as soon as you select my successor, I fulfill a duty to my family that may now be permitted to outweigh-the duty of accepting longer that assignment Of public service which, two years ago, you did ino the honor to make. Returning to the ranks of that great party which has called you to its lead, X shall st 11 hope to follow its fortunes, under your successful guidance, with a fellow-citizen’s loyal_pride. Yeryrespecti fully yours, Damiel Manning. CLEVELAND TO MANNING. My Dear Sir: Your formal letter of resignation which I have received, though not entirely unexpected, presents the reality of a severance ol our official relations, and causes me the deepest regret. This is tempered only by the knowledge that tho frank and friendly personal relations which have unbrokenly existed between us are stilltoc. ut nue. I refer to these becausesuch personal relations supply, after all, whatever of comfort and pleasue the world affords, and because! feel it to bo almost superflous to speak of the aid aud support you have given me and the assistance you have furnished to the administration of the Government during the time you have directed the affairs of the exacting and laborious office which you now seek to surrender. Your labors, your achievements, vour success, and your devotion to public duty are fully seen arid known, and they challenge the appreciation and gratitude of all your countrymen. Since I must at last relinquish my hope of your continuance at my side as counselor and colaborer, and since I cannot question the reasons On which your request to be relieved is based, it only remains for me to accept the resignation you have tendered, and to - express my profound thanks" , for all that you have done for me in shar-ing-manfuHy-my-labors and perplexities rrf the last two years. I feel that I may still ask of . you that the Ist day of April next be fixed as the date at which your resignation shall take effect, and that you will so regulate what remains to you of official duty in tho meantime as to secure that measure of freedom from vexatious labor which you have so justly earned. With the earnest hope that in any new path of life you may hereafter follow there may be allowed to you more of comfort and of ease than a conscientious discharge of duty here permits, I am very sincerely your friend, Grover Cleveland.

Pierre Lorillard’s Great Slide.

Through the instrumentality of Pierre Lorillard, America has the longest toboggan elide in the world, being over 4,000 feet in length from end to end, while the Orange chute is only 1,004 feet long, the Saratoga

1.200 feet, and the much vaunted Montreal slide is but 1,600 feet. The Lorillards are known to fame .through their immense tobacco enterprise, and also as being t'nthusiastic turtmeii. The Lorillard stables are world-famed, and Tuxedo Ark, Which Pierre Lorillard has instituted in Jersey, Is a swell thing conductedon English plans, ideas and principles. Mr. Lorillard’s retirement from the Ameri-, ban racing track in the year 1884 was one of short duration, and the recent talk that his farm, llancocas, would be sold .with the sale of tbe horses had no foundation, as Mr. Lorillard has said ihat Rancocas would not be sold, and that he would keep all the foals of this year of the horses sold— some fifty in number—and that Pierre, Jr., would keep all the geldings, so that in all probability father aiid son will enter and run distinct stables. Mr. Lorillard, Sr., spends lavishly not only upon himself and friends but also upon the employes of his factory. A recent addition to the priv.leges enjoyed by his workmen is a large library erec ed ■for tbe free use of any employe on the presentation of the factory card. A school is iittached which seats thiee hundred children. and the entire expense of the establishment is borne by .Piene Lorillard & Co. j who.feel*a justipride in the success of this work. ■

Boston Society Episode.

Introductions of strangers are apt to be. at aIT times a trifle embarrassing, but particularly so at crowded receptions. where people are sprung on each other without the least preparation. One afternoon a man was walked up to a lady by the hostess, presented, and abandoned to his fate, the lady having caught only her own name, which certainly.did her no good. A keenness for hearing one’s own patronymic is not natural, but in this instance it was the stranger's name she desired to knowi for his face was new, and evidently he was not, of Boston, nor Bostonese. However, hoping it would, dawn upon her later on, she began to chat in the customary small tion Veiff, and then, seeing Allie.
