Hon. David J. Brewer, of Kansas,
has bsen appointed Judge of the Eighth Circuit, to succeed Judge McCrory. Judge
Brewer was bora In Smyrna, Asia Minor,
June.20, 137. His father, the Ilcv. Josish
Brewer, was a missionary to the Greeks in
Turkey. His mother's maiden name was Emeiia Field, she being a sister of David Dudley and Cyrus W. Field. Judge Brewer commenced his studies at Wesleyan University in Middleton, Conn., but removed to New Haven and graduated at
Tale College in 1S38. He has been a resident of Kansas for twenty-six years. The appointment of Brewer is a surprise to
the friends of the candidates from the other
States, They say generally that tboy doubt
very much whether Brewer had any supporters outside of Kansas, and they do not understand the political meaning of the appointment. The Iowa men are especially disappointed. They had hopes that McCoid would be appointed. Ex-Scnator Sargent has been transferred from tbo mission toBerlin to theBussian mtoJou.

Neosho Falls, Kan., says: The veterinary surgeons here investigating the cattle disease are now positive that they have discovered the source of the trouble, and all agree that it is not epizootic aphtha, lac kinir many of the important symptoms of that disease. It is not lack of care, neither is it alkali water. It is no contagious disease. Dr. Salmon says that as soon as ho saw The cattle he thought of ergot, and they proceeded to examine the hay. This had not been done before. They found it to contain a large amount of wild rye which was f nil of ergot. The surgeons all say they never saw one-twentieth part so much ergot in a hunch of feed. The theory that the ergot, by contracting the bloodvessels and otherwise retarding the circulation in the extremities, caused the feet to freeze. This ends the great scare. In the case of O. A. Carpenter, the tincoln banker, riel for the murder of Zora Barns, the Jury at Petersburg 111., returned a verdict of "not guilty." This was expected.

DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL.
Democrats of tho House Meet in
Caucus antl Discuss Tariff Legislation.
Decision Beached that the Morrison
Bill Be Taken Up Repeal of the Tobacco Tax Favored.
The proceedings ot tho cnticus of the Domooratio members ot tho House, called for
tho purpose of outllulng somo action upou tho tariff question, iiro thus roported by the Associated Press at Washiujrtou: Throughout
most of the sossion, which lastod from S p. in. till midnight, tho atlondauco was very large.
thoro Doing: only ten' luombors nnsont, and thoy on account of sickness or nbcnco from tho city, Carlislo movtd that tbo rules of tho prebont t'O'iercss be adopted as the rules
or tue ciiucis, except turn the ucbato bo earned on under iive-miiiuto limitation for speeches, 'ibis was ajfroed to. It was aiso decided, lol'oro tlio buninesi of tho evening- was entered upon, that a futrr- cuueus should be cul:ed upou tho written request of twenty mcnibora. Mr. Morrison then S'nie.i the ob. ectof tho caucus, lie said it was for the purpose of com ng to an understanding, if possible, on tin iff legislation. Ibo lemocnitic members o' the Ways and Means Committee, who believed in a roduetlon of tho wnr tnriif. bud presented a measure on which th'iy Uo1red to hnvo an oxprcsfion of opinion of the Ucuiot-ratio members of tbo Hous-e. It has been announced in tho press, he : a d, that those who wero not successful lif controlling tho organization of tho Ilouso of Kopicsontatives would oppose any n.oasuro lor roduc'ng war laxos or tho discussion of such a iuearuro by this Congress. Ho stated that the war texos derived lrom internal rovonoo, which at ono tluio j folded tho Govern ment 3UH),000,000 a year, had been from t.mo to time reduced until only tho rovonuo oil tobacco, malt UquoiR, and dlsi lllort spirits remain -d. Ho said ho did not liolieve in any further reduction of the internal revenue as a matter of priuoiplo, but as a Democrat desiring harmony iu tho DHrtv. and for tho sake of
harmonizing conilieting views, he would aereo to repeal the tobacco tax and to reduce tbo tax on brandy distil o.l from fruits, provided such aetioii could bo bad in lomio.iion with tho reduction of customs duties. For tho purpose of testing tho senso of tho caucus, Mr. Morrison said ho would oiler a resolution which ho did, in clloct providing that tlio Wuys and Moans Committee bill should be takon up, and that after reasonable
timo lor discussion "a bill should be pas?ea. Mr. Hopkins ottered 1111 amendment to 'he
otrect that tlio caucus should not I 0 binding
upon individual members. A long discussion followed the olfering of tho resolution, which was participated in by Mossrs. Morrison, Eaton. Converse. Illackburn, ltandall, Hop
kins, King, Morse, Cabell, Keagun, Itosecrans, Tully, O'Neill, of Missouri, MeAdoo,
wison of west Virginia, wairon, jjorsticim-
er, Hutchins, Hobliucli. Holuian, Nichols,
Hardoman, lleaeh, ipriggs, Adams of New York, and Bland.
Mr. ltandall briefly counseled moderation
and conciliation, and suggestod un unoxcited
conference, with a viow to agreeing upon some bill for which all lloiiioci-atie members could vote a bill that would provldo for a modernto reduction of ciu-toms duties and at the samo timo of a partial roduction of the Intornal-revcnuo taxation. At to making the tariff bill a subject of caucus aclion iu the sons? of conti oiling a member's rote, be said it was contrary to Democratic principles, ond contrary to the principles of representative
government to attempt to bind any ono on a great economic question, and thus seek to compel a representative to vote against tho known opinions and interests of his constitu
ents.
Mr. Carlislo said ho was desirous of having
the caucus come to somo agreemont, if possible on the reduction of the tariff. In order to do so and secure suoh roduction, ho would aaroeto rcocal tho tobacco tax and all licenses
connected wJth the same, and to a reduction on brandy distilled from fruits to 10 eomspMgallon. Messrs. ltoagan and llolmnn urged
harmony, and opposed all onorti to umu members of the party by the action of tho caucus. Both declared that the action of tho caucus
should bo regarded as inetely persuasive.
Several members announced emphatically
that tbo) wero opposed to tho Morrison bill, but the nredouiinating sentiment was largely
in favor of considering ihe bill aud nirreeing to a measure that would receive the sanction of the House. Besides Mr. ltandall, Messrs. Tully and Eaton opposed tbo measure. Mr. Kinir offered a resolution to the oifect that a
committee consisting of seven members of
tne House and six Senators bo appointed to
consider ond report at a future caucus, on tho ponding proposition. Tho resolution was voted down. Mr. Morrison moved that tbo Hopkins amendment bo modified so as to provldo that the action of the caucus should not bo
binding utxm iudividua s except to such an
extent as each member might feel infiuenecd brtho wishesof themaloritvof his associate.
This amendment was adopted. Ho then called tho previous question UKin Mr. Hopkins' amendment as modified, which was carried
111 to 57. Tho resolution was then ndoptcd by a yoa and nay vote 114 to 57. Tho follow
ing Is tho resolution as amended and adopted:

Not long ago a Chicago gentleman bad oc
casion to writo to overy County Clerk in Illinois upon a matter of business. Aftor
writing perhaps half a dozen letters it oc
curred to bint that ho would ask what the political outlook was, and thus, without hardly any trouble, get an idoa of tho situa
tion, a no inter (.etirn lms neon iavored with tho privilege f perusing tbo answers, and would lie pld to publish them, only fo many of tl.c writers ask tbac their letters may bo rtgarded as confidential that wc aro not allowed to do so. An idea of their contents, however, in tho aggregate can be given without the violation of coolidence. Neither party seems to bo afflicted with any latent elements of discord. Not a single letter expresses any fear of troublo on tho temperance question, or any oilior side issue Local and porsonal quart o'.s aro referred to, if at all, as not likely to stand iu the way of success. In regard to candidates tho Democrats Rcem to bo of one mind. Not a single county is reported to be in favor of any other than the old ticket, with Harrison for Governor, except that St. ( lair favors Morrison ir he has any show. It is the old ticket llrst, last, and all the time. Letter after tetter speaki in tho most positive way ns regards Democratic preference. One would say that Harrisen would 1-e nominated by acclamation and a delegation solid for the old ticket sent to Chicago without the slightest doubt. No such unanimity is expressed in regard to Republican nominees. As for Governor, a good word Is spoken for both Oglcsby and Hamilton, no itcpuhliraii betraying the sllgbtcet i'l-feeling toward either. As fur President, the names most favorably mentioned are Logan, Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, and Lincoln, tho latter very frequently for Vioo President. GRANT. In Favor of John A, Logan.

Tho gale lasted threo days. Several vesfels
wero sighted, nut wero iinauio to neipne Margaux on account of tho high sons and ner

attempted to rendor assistance. The steamer Oregon tlio 18th took off three cabin and
fortv-nvo steerage liastengors, who returnca
to England. The evening of the 18th another heavy northwester raised tho wavo.- to a mountainous height, rollo.l and pitched the
easel, and threatened to swamp her. There
was great terror on board, and at times the steamer's boilers shook in thoir fltands. and it seemed certain that thoy would break
loose, Saturday last, when about 230 miles from Halifax, tho steamer Culodouia, after some demurring, took her in tow and brought her safely to port. The Margaux it a magnificently equipped boat and is in loaded for the direot Now York trade. A Boj Dies from the Effects or a Drunk.
