Then Briggs offered to go to his own house make out the policy, and return to Tatman s bonse so the latter could sign it.
Bricss left the house, but before he had
reached the door-yard, Tatman appeared at the door and fired three shots at him

inflicting a fatal wound. Briggs will pos

A MrLWAUKEE special says: The united
States revenue officials are about to make a raid on a large number of illicit whisky stills reported to exist in the woods of
Manitoba. The moonshiners are said to
have flourished there for years, having
been enabled to avoid discovery by representing themselves as farmers. They have raised their own grain for whisky distilling purposes and have smuggled tho product
to various pans 01 ine onus, wuero moj have readily disposed of it to saloon
keepers. One of the principal stills is
owned by an old woman, and she is said
to have made a fortune out of it. A. Nauffman, of Manitowoc, has been arrested and his still has been demolished by the revenue
officers.

(T, C Crawford, in Now York World. There is nothing to bo found in contem
plating the list of Fedoral appointments in the Stato of Ohio which could bring the
slightest flush of pride to the cheek of the most devout mugwump. There are sorno appointments thero which might cause n nervous mugwump to turn pale. There are more appointments made in this State of people who have dishonorable and penitentiary records than in any other of the States. One of the
most notorious of the administration selections is that of Gilbert Barper, a pension agent at Columbus. Bargor succeeded Allen T. 'Wyekoff. Wyckoff was a gallant soldier v itli a splendid war record. There never had been any criticism of his management. Barger has a record of being
dismissed Irom tne army xor cvwaiuwe. This is 1 he history of his retirement from the United States service. He was an officer in an Ohio regiment which took part in tho battle of Winchester. He had, before this engagement, applied for a leave Permission to take a furlough
was granted him. This furlough reached
him just as his regiment was going 11110 action. The rebels had already begun to liia men. Soldiers were fallinc
at his riant and left- He left the field and
wont, himn to filllOV M8 furloufih. HlS
case was considered by a court-martial, and
he was Rentenced to bo cashiered tne serviceH never returned to undergo sen
tence, but employed political influence to save himself from having the sentenoo enforced. Through this political influence 1,a u nArmitied to l'66i2U.
Willinm Caldwell, tho surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, is a vigorous partisan. He is an out-and-out machine politician. Since he has assumed charge of this office he has appointed a number of very peculiar deputies. One of them, Jerry Mulroy, has a record of two or three terms in workhouses. "Potch" Moran, another one of hie deputies, is a murderer. He was a hackmon, who, in a row, shot and killed a man. He was not tried, because the principal witness to prove the crime did not appenr.on the trial. Two other of these deputies are genial gentlemen from the workhouse. "Potch" Moran was arrested only a week aflto for insulting a lady in the postoffice. Biley, the postmnster at Cincinnati, is said to be a good business man, but he was ths presiding officer in the notorious Highland House convention. This political organization achieved a world-wide reputation for deliberate 'and unblushing election frauds. , W. T. Bishop, the Internal Kevenuo Collector at Cincinnati, is a long-legged, wiry, nntirinc nartisan. who sent a number of
deputies up into i uage iioiniau s uiw to work for his renoniination. He has five members of his family appointed under him. Ihe Bishops thrive and prosper, and aro very earnest in their support of the civil-service reform administration. Burt, the former Superintendent of the Hailway Mail Service, stationed -at Cincinnati, was one of tbe most efficient officials employed at the Postoffico Department. It lsine-
tendlM at the I'ostofflce iK-partmcnt that
thts tiervice w non-partisan ana mat changes are novor made for political reasons. Mr.Vilas' face wears a look of lowly and oulraced virtue whenever the
faintest hint is made in his presence of
bringing anything like politics into tne
pure t.tmospnerci or rats oranon 01 uus uonartment. Yet Burt was supplanted be
fore Cie term of his office expired by one
Gwynn, a notorious Indiana partisan, wno is ine-ficient and whose management of the
office is the constant subject of complaint
by business men. Gwynn was a former
employe ot we railway mail set vice unuer .-. , - , .: ... a: .1 -., -m
a nei-uoiiOHH auuiiiu&truuuu ouu wtta ciu nlovei as a liccublican. He was dis
charged for inefficiency. He then turned
Democrat, ana, naiuroiiy, a ruiorm aa-
miuittration Dieted him up.
Jack Connelly, who was appointed to represent tho A,irioultural Department in
Ohio, as its statistical agent, served a term
in tie county jail lor tne stealing 01 a riromissorv note. Ho escaped being sent
to thi penitentiary by a peculiar plea. He
set ud as a defense that the note was not
worth its face value, and by showing this
to the satisfaction or the court, he sue-
ceednd in keepin? the value of the note be
low the limit wlii -h describes croud larceny
in Ohio. He seived out the seutence for
netit larceny, and is still an officeholder.
The postmaster tit Bowling Green, Dobsou,
is tho editor of a partisan Democratic news
paper. John it. Parley, tne collector at
Cleveland, is a proiessionai politician ana a ward manipulator. Knecht, the internal revenue collector at Dayton, is a ward politician, who has no other profession than that of officeholding. Gillespie, the postmaster at Dayton, was a copperhead during the war. As mayor of Dayton, he released a murderer on strawbail and connived at his escape. He was very disloyal during the war. The Eepublican postmaster at Cleveland is retained probably because he is the mother of Senator, Jones, of Nerada. Beccntly his deputy emb szzled quite u large amount of money, for -vhicli the postmaster is, of course, responsible. Tho deputy escaped. At Bellsfontaine, the postmaster is the editor of the most furiously Democratic paper in tb.) town. The United States District Attorney for the Northern District f the State, Bhody Shields, was the former President of tho Common Council in Akron. He is a nominal lawyer and a local politician. It has boon very fiercely charged in tho Demooratio newspapers of his region
that ho secured his election as President of
the Common Council through a corrupt oom'oination with the Republicans. The United States District Attorney for the Southern District his not been removed.
His brother, John Kumler, is the present
Internal IJevenue Collector at Toledo. The Kumlers are an office-holding family. Two of them, brothers, were recently removed from positions in Indiana. Goodspeed, the United States Marshal at Cleveland, is a Ecpablicnn. Urner, tho newly appointed Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, is a first-class man. His appointment is almost tho only one which has been made in Ohio that is above criticism. The Postmaster nt Portsmouth (Newman) is editor of tho Portsmouth Times. He is a former
Secretary of State. During the war he wrote some of tho most ferocious attacks upon Lincoln and the cause of tho Union. His disloyal utterances havo been repeatedly printed against him in campaigns. His record of disloyalty during the war is thoroughly well known. Brady, the Postmaster at Newark, was formerly a Sheriff of the county where he now lives, and, duriug his incumbency, was found to bo short in his accounts to tho amount of
913,500. When tho ense was tried it was found that the amount of his bond, which was signed as $20,000, had been raised to $40,000, and his bondsmen, when they learned of this change, withdrew, and this leaving the Sheriff without any security back of him, tho suit was not pressed. It is still unsettled. Ho set up tho defense that it was his deputy that got away with the money. Whether this is a good defense or not can not bo shown until the case comes to trial. Jake Miller, former Lieutenant Governor of tho State, who was appMnted Consul General at Frankfort-on-the-Main, has always been a Republican He went off two years ago on account of the temperance question in Ohio, and during this temperance departure was sent abroad by this administration. He was the nranidina officer of tho Legislative oonven.
Hon which eleoted John Sherman to the-
Senate. It is one of the good stories told about Miller that when he thought it was Hoa for haitatiag to begin, h mld otic
a motion for some other business by sayiuj;: "Thero is nothing in m-der now but a motion to proceed to elect John Sherman
united States senator iroin unio.
Pat Dowliuc, the postmaster at loledo,
has been retained. He turned Democrat just in time to gain favor. He was originally appointed as a Republican. Battelle, tho collector at Toledo, is a Uepublican.
He was the former editor and proprietor ol tho Toledo Commercial. Every one will
remember the postmaster who was appoint
ed at Canton. His selection caused such
indignation that tho Senator who reoonimouded him, Mr. Payne, was burned in efEgy. An effigy of Mr. Payne was also bung several days by the neck from the windows of the Demooratio club of that town. I have alluded but brielty to the
gems to be found m tne unio list. 1 00
number is too great to Do criticised wunin thf dimensions of an ordinary newspaper lettor. With the exception of the nppuiutnient of Mr. I'rner as marshal, and of Mr. Pendleton as minister to Berlin, (hero is hardly a high-class appointment in tho whol lot. But as there arc no mugwumps in Ohio, this element of correction being absent, may explain in a measure why the list has been so thoroughly partisan and so thoroughly objectionable.

Issues of the Coming Canvass The Tariff and tlio Pension Vetoes. (Interview in Now York Tribune.) "What about Congress? What are the issues that are to come beforo the people out of tbe session?" "From present appearances we shall get back to the old issue of the tariff and tho issue of the capacity, or rather tbe lack of capacity, of tho Demooratio party to conduct the government of the country. They started in proposing to do certain things for the benefit of the country which their own administration and their own people had recommended them to do. Xhey are closing their session without doing any of these things. In the lirst place, ilr. Tilden said somo very sensible things in regard to fortifications and coast defenses. His Jotter upon that subject was indorsed
not only by his parly but by tho country.
ills recommendations aro naeiy 10 00 ig
nored. The Secxe ry of the Navy earnestly urged upon Congress to . begin the construction of a navy. He urged that
ship-building be enteredupoi but Congress has done nothing. The Secretary of the Navy himself, up to tho present time, has not even completed the plans for ships that
were ordered y the last congress, and for whota construction appropriations were made. He has not even asked for bids for the construction of these ships, so that nothing has been done by him, even uuder the nower that he already possessed.
it is itouLltm ir congress win give uuu
anv f urther authorization, in view or tms
dilatcriness. The last Democratic House provided for a commission to investigate the subject of ordnance and armored ships, hut their renort is absonuvly void of any
recommendation, and is, tuerelore, sure to
bo vmd of results, tnasmucti as it tauos a
loiig period of time one, two, or three years to build a big gun, tho folly of this delay must bo apparent when taken in con
nection with the entirety cteienscioss con

not bo desirable that iarae amounts ot
monev should be spent nt once on coast
defenses and munitions of war. But the United States could immediately begin,
without injury or disturbance lo its financial condition, to spend a reasonable sum annuallv in this direction, which, in courso of
time, would lurnish due protection lo our great cities and seacoasts, and give us a navy vfhen wo need one. Eventually this gradual expenditure would give us proper
defenses alt around. "How about the incomo tar. to pay pea fjinnsV"
"W did not have that nrorosition in the
House, but the effect of such a tax would
be to throw the burden of pension taxation,
when such a clause was enacted, upon tlie
nennle of tho North, us SKI to Jo per cent.
of any income tax would be raisod in the North." "In vour opinion is the drift of things m tho co'untrv favorable to tbo return of the
ltimiblican rjartv to power?"
"As I told vou. I cot very little informa

.nnmnfii a Committee on Ways and Weans

Tanlt. nf this appointment is that 0 major
ity of tho Committee on Ways and Means originate a tariff bill which can not pass the
ttniiRP. while at tho same time they pre
vent the origination of any reform which
pan oa throueh. A aingie example win u-

Should pass an uuiiuuism-uhvu nui. j- 'o is no dispute that such a bill i necessary

agreed upon. The majority of tho ways it rnn Committee have insisted on

Thre is. f r.erefore. no hone left for this

"How nbinit the proposition to enact

The objection tC' the is rule that no other bill making appropriation's is similarly treated. Appropriations awl taxation havo always boon considered separately. They require to be treated and considered separately on account of their diverse character. We have always made our appropriations and then have mado onr tax levies to meet thee appropriations in soparato legislation, 'i'o put on to any bill a tax clauso would make discord and trouble. It tiould bring the whole tariff question up at any moment. It would load the pension bill as no other question is loaded before Congress. That is the unfairness of this proposed rale."

Washington dlspotob. In rospouso to tho resolution of the Scuato jinking for information concerning
the alleged illegal detention of A. K. Out-
ling by tho Mexican, authorities at El Paso
del Norlo, tho President transmitted to the K -imlo :he report of tho Secretary of State, toijethcf with a voluminous mass of correspondence relative to the case. Following U, a smiimary of the report: l.'nder date o:: July 1 Ignited States Consul Urigham at El Vaso el Norte forwarded to Tinted States Minister Jackson at llevico a full statement of tho facts attending tho arrest and imprisonment of Cutting, and an announcement of Iris (lirigham's ) fiilure to secure any reply to his application for a fair trial or the release on' bail of Mr. C itting. July C the United States Minister sought from M. Marescal, the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs, proper relief for Mr. Cutting. The following day M. Marccoal replied that he had recommended ho Governor of Chihuahua to see that prompt and full justice wae administered. July 17 Counsel Brigham stated tliat Cutting was still a prisoner and nothing had benn done for his release. The Secretary says that the imprisonment of this American citizen having thus cmtinoed for a full month without explanation or prospect of a leleaso, he (Secretary Bayard i, July 19, addressed a telegram to Minister Jackson instructing him to demand of the Mexican Government the instant re
lease of A. K. (Jutting. This was followed July 20 by imtrnctions of the Secretary to Minister Jackson, reciting all the
precedent coirespondenco and facts,
and stating the legal position assumed by
this Government as a ground lor demand
ing the releas s of its citizens. Minister Jackson July '1 telegraphed the refusal of the Mexican Government to accede to the telegraphic demand of Secretary Bayard for Cutting's r;lease, which was followed by another teleijrani giving a statement of the Mexican reasons. Consul Brigham July 26 teleg! armed that the Governor of
Chihuahua was pushing tho trial of Cut
ting, wiio igno:red the proceedings. July 27 the Secretary mailed additional instruc
tions to Minister Jackson. The Secretary in this letter refars to the claim of the Mexican Miniater here, based on the Mexi
can laws, whereby jurisdiction is assumed by Mexico over crimes committed against Mexicans in the United Statef. or any foreign country, aud his contention that under this law the publi

says, nnally assured him that (jutting would be released in a very short time. Convinced of tho friendly and conciliatory spirit influencing tbo Mexican Government, the Secretary informed tho Consul that in his opinion all questions of confiicting interests between the two Governments can without difficulty be amicably, Xionoxblv, and satisfactorily odjusted. In Ids report the Secretary says, touching the Mexican laws cited by Mr. iioniero: This conflict of law is even moro profound than tho litert.1 iJilfereneo of corresponding i tatutss, for it .Hocts tho underlying prino .ples of security to porsonal liberty and freedom of speech or expression, which ar3 ninong tlie imiin objects so ight to be secured by our tatmowork of government.
