The severe eritieiams of Secretary Car lisle's policy that have emanated from Vr'all street have not met any very warm response in other parts of the country. The rumor that only silver would be aid in exchange for Treasury notes of 1990 naturally eeuaed a sensation, but it was promptly denied, and it turns out that no such policy 'was over considered Secretary Carlisle' explicit statement, provoked by this rumor, was not ac-eoted wttuifactory, but waa character- ited in Wall street as vague and in jnflnite.

There is, of course, a great dval of XioJatelligent talk about Wall street. It Is often aasunwd that all Wall street de- sire the same thing, whereas it is al-rays divided into two great parties, di- number of smaller groups. In ono re spect, indeed, eveiy one of these groups is like all the others when it get in a tUht place it wishes the Government to rine to ita relief, no matter what may be the etfect of Buck action on the far. tunes of "then. This disposition, how- tvr, Mut eonfined to Wall street, but tnay be set down as one of the frailties pt human nature.

lr. Henry Clews, in his financial review of the past week, says that the latest advice from Washington indicato that Secretary Carlisle is disposed to shape his financial course upon principles as to afford no special qpnsideration for the Immediate interests represented oa the Stock Exchange." This language Is diplomatic, but we do not think ve rr in aaanininir thjLt th4 iiumMliutA in. teresta" here meant ate the interest of Bentlemen who have sold stocks which 1 1 1 1 1 A 1 111 KIIAV lli 1 U1 III!

Why eltlier of these classes should ex- nwyit the Treasury to be conducted with sptViai eunaideration for it is not Indeed, it would be incompre- liensible if there were not too much vaton to believe that these classos have been spoiled by the special consMera- tioa) shown them ia times past. The Trerrnbry ought, of course, to be conduct i in harmony with the business and liuanoial interest of the wboio coun try, and so far a these are represented in Wail street.

Just so far is Wall atreet entitled to be heard with respect; but it is a strange intimation that the specu lative element there is entitled to any It is true that the complaints against the Secretary have not proceeded entire- a 1 .1 1 iy xrotu ViJW eieviuauv uviutrui iimjuu (t is, perhaps, not easy for many other financiers ia Wall street to keep thenv pelros entirely free frum the lofluence of that elmBt. Krrerthcifaa, It it apparent that the banker hare reasons of their own for flndicg fault with the Oer-crnment. In connection with this the following extract from Mr. Clews circular is pertinent The 6wiiary appears 'tespeet from tb banks a meanr of aupp rt tinder the exigencies beyond what be ba tar rervtt-ed from them and perhspa not without aoano rrason. 80 rar.

If tJii complaint, which comes from Wall street itself, ie well founded, the force of the criticisms of the Treawry ollcy in which New York Tiankers hve indulged is very sensibly diininisnea. If the bankers have determined to look out for themselves and leave the Treasury to Its Tate, what right have they to de mand to be taken into the confidence of the Treaeury let the burden of their complaint ha been that Sccrotary Car lisle has not specifically stated what he propose to do in every possible con ttnseaey. Such a declaration, would not have been prudent nnder the circurn- tanoea, and ought not to have been ex nected.

Secretary Carlisle ha declared his intention to uphold the credit of tLe Government and to maintain the parity of gold and silver by all lawful meant. and that ought to be sufficient. WATT. Wat live at Columbus, Ga. In point of tact Watt is Postmaster of Columbus.

Watt was appointed Postmaster ot Columbus under President Cleveland's first Administration. When Mi. Harrison was inaugurated Watt forthwith noti fied his employes that they must resign, and Watt promptly- filled their places with Republicans. By this means. among probably other means, Wattsuo- eeeded in convincing Waits ma Iter that was a good enough Bepublican to keep the posA-office at Columbus, and Watt was therefore allowed to keep it.

Four years later, when Mr. Cleveland. in turn succeeded Mr. Harrison, Watt hastily indited to each of his employes the following, missive Sis The chaogo ot Administration car ries wlUt a change ot paironsca -which naceaattaiat tha reorganliatkm of the clerk and aarrter tore at tins ofsce.

But Watt was not to be caught napping. Watt hied him to Washington to fore stall the Commissioners or knock; them out. Watt laid his case before the Post master 'General, who, according to Washington correspondent," received it thus: Yes, I heard ot you before. I have a statement from the Civil Service ConuukdioB about you, but am very glad. have your story front your own Hps.

Juit five week after Mr, Cleveland's inauguration Mr. was asked what he' thought of the general work of th new Administration. There is about the question such an air ot absurdity jur extravagance, that any one not laboring undts aa intup- pornVblsv sorrow would- have grasped the humor of tlte situatrua and have answered accordingly. But Mr. lieid takes 'everything awriously; audi vras as keady to give his opinionpf the general work of the Qoveiand Admiaiiit ration aa any EnglUhmSn on an incoming stesmer is ready to tell all newspaper men what he thinks ot America.

Before 'anything ran be done even by Congress the executive departments must be reformed. Bobbery of the people is conducted under two forms; one is the tariff robbery, under the form ot law; the oUer is robbery by extravagance and corruption beyond the warrant of law. This latter method msy be checked if not eradicated by the Executive nd his Minister.

They are actively at work turning the rascals ont and curtailing uuwwe and uunetewawy expenditures. Already the force in every deparnnertt lias been cut down. Secretory Morton is reconstrncting the Weather Bureau. Secretary Carlisle ha dismissed numerous supernumeraries. Secretary Gresham is rooting out abuses.

On all hands we hear "hit dogs hollering." The impatience of Mr. Held is inexcusable, tor the executive officers are doing all in their power to stop the eystoinatio rbbery which has so distinguished the Republican Administrations. As to the tariff robbery that, too, will soon be checked, and In time be made odious." But-we must wait until Congress assembles. Then having reduced expenses and put a stop to innu merable abuses, tlie Administration will be ready to say how much revenue is needed to conduct an economic Govern ment, and the tariff will be reduced to that revenue basis. The distinguished editor should cheer up.

Tne good work will go on a rap idly as the situation justifies, nod there is no need for all this gloom. BELATITE TALUS OF EEFUTAXIOX.

According to tho petition and the statement ot Mr.

Suggestion That tlie Senate Get To Work On a New. Charter. Sessions of Doth Houses Largely Giren Up To Reading Enrolled Bills, DEPTJ1Y STATE IMSPZCT0H, Whatever may bt the sentiuicnt in Louisville tho opinion hero is that there is being wasted a good deal of valuable time in the matter of tho vetoed -charter. Should a second charter be passed by tho Legislature titere is no tvbttiiility that it would be vetoed by the Governor. Tbe quickest way out of it seems, therefore, to let the Lrgis-tnre get to work on a new charter, framed to suit as many LouisvUle people as possible.

The reason for this is plain hero. Tho Senate, te all appearances, is not going to pass the vetoed charter over tho veto. Twenty-two Senators were here to-day. Each had read about the maos meeting in coining of the big committee. and each waa asked how lw vrookl vote on the question of parsing the-bill, tho veto to tho contrary ami tlr reidies were reopectivHy as follows: senator Board A will vote to sustsia the veto.

Senator Orr I will vote to suatain tii veto. Senator AVorlhajn I am for auctaininff the Governor. Seinitor itoberta Xdon't see how I caa vote against the veto. Senator Miller I- think I have made up my mind to oustain the veto. Senator Stewart I dont see how I could coneistently vote again the veto.

Senator Usilvio I am going to vote to sustain the vet. Senator Caldwell I will vote to sustain tho vote-Senator Hasina I am inclined'to think tbe veto is right. Senator Wall My opinion so far is that tlie veto is eurroot. Senator George I will want to hear the argtsntent. Senator Conner I am not decided yet.

Senator Downer I have not made up nay mind. Senator-May I don't know. the wti far a I know now. think the im ruht. Senator Daum I rather favor it.

too. I believe the oovernor is rigtit. Senator Gates I have promised to voto for' tho passage of the bill if the Louisville delegation, as a unit, asks if. Senator mduh-i am against tu veto. Afterward Senator McCain asked to be quoted as yet Senator Breckinridge was not here tills morning, but on leeving here said My court is in session and I have to go away, but want to-be teierapued in time to set back and vote to sustain the vet of tho LouisTille charter." Senator Jones My present intention is to vote to sustain the veto.

Senator Hutoheson I am certainly going to vote to sustain the veto. Senator Taylor I aa stime nrteen or twentr prominent nre insurance men have been hero to-day effecting a settlement of the losses 00- castoa-d by tho recent big fire in tlie Allen-Uradley Liouisviile warehouse. The Senate had a quorum to-day, but, like the House, preferred to take up and read for comparison the mass of enrolled, bills which had accumulated, and the reading of which consumed all the time of tlie session. Among the enrolled bills read by tbe Senate and House were the chanter tor sixth-class cities nod tlie General Penitentiary bill. Both need only tho signature of tlie Governor" to become laws.

The House had just a quorum this morning, with none to Mr. Bashaw sent up a bill amendatory of th? act relating to State Inspector and Ex aminer, giving tint oiuciai a deputy aim pay not to exceed $8 per day, and traveling expenses when in active" discharge ot bis dnty. eiueh deputy is re- nnlporf 1a.
