Post, of Indiana, Secre- I tary. At the evening session, principles were discus-ed by Cant. Stickle, of Nebraska; B. F. Snively, of Indiana; Mrs. Todd, of San Francisco; a farmer named Dean, from the Pennsylvania oil region, and J. C. Magie, of Illinois. Gen. Chalmers’ Independent State Convention was held at Jackson, Miss., with Reuben Davis, a Confederate Brigadier and Congressman, in the chair. The first plank in the platform is for a free ballot and a fair count, and the fourth demands legislative supervision of railroad*. About thirtyfive counties were represented. At the second and last day’s session of the Anti-Monopoly Convention, in Chicago, Martin Todd, of San Francisco, spoke of the oppression of labor. Mr. Crocker, of lowa, thought railroads the most damnable of all monopolies W. 8. Wolf, of New York, regarded the tariff as a question which should be left outside the convention. Rev.

WASHINGTON. Attorney General Brewster has rendered an opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury that the exportation of bonded whisky to Bermuda with a view to its reimportation, for the purpose of evading or delaving payment of the tax, is not an exportation within the meaning of the law. The Attorney General holds, however, that the tax due upon spirits at the time of importation is collectable upon its return to this country. As a result of the prolonged conferences at Washington, it has been agreed by Secretaries Lincoln and Teller that the captured Apaches shall be cared for by and kept under the control of the War Department at some point on the San Carlos reservation. The War Department is to be intrusted with noiice control of all Indians on the reservation and the protection of the agent.. .The Postmaster General has decided to order the Postmaster at New Orleans to pay no j ostalorders to Mr. Dauphin, connected with the Louisiana lottery, and to return all registered letters sent to his address.

A dispatch from Cairo, Egypt, says: The situation between here and Port Said in one direction and Alexandria in the other id deplorable, and can scarcely be exaggerated. The extent of the Cholera plaguy I owing to Government precautions, is not actually known, but the statements of those who have escaped from the infected districts, and those whose very presence is shunned by almost every one, reveal a terrible state of affairs. There are scarcely well natives enough to bury the dead in some of the comparatively isolated villages along the Mediterranean and in the low Nile Delta districts between I Ake Menzalen and Lake Boorlos.”...

The alarm in London over the cholera caused a discussion in the Cabinet whether or not to recall the British troops from Egypt, but Lord Wolselev decided in the negative.... The populace* at Brindisi, Italy, fearing the introauction of the pestilence, refused to allow the steamer Surat to land Indian mail even when fumigated Four men named Rogerson, Tanzy, Kelly and Houghton were found guiity at Sligo on the charge of having attempted in ' March of last year to blow up the residence of a landlord near Loughrea, in the County of Ga wav.

About the t : me tliat Daniel Drew began his Wall street career, he was up the country one time to visit some friends, and two farmers called upon him to decide a case. One had sold the other five bushels of wheat, and propc sed to measure it in a half bushel, and sweep the top of a measure with a stick. The other objected, and Uncle Daniel asked to decide. “Well, legally speaking, a bushel is only s. bushel,” he answered. “And can the measure be swept off?” “I think it can?” “What with?” “Well, if I was selling wheat I should probably use half the head of a flour barrel. ” “Which edge of it?” “Gentlemen, that is a point I cannot now decide on,’’ sighed the old man. “If I was selling to a widow or a preacher I am certain that I should sweep the measure with the straight edge, but if I was selling to a man whe pastures his cows in the road and his pigs in his neighbor’s com, I’m afraid I should use the circular side and scoop a little to boot.”— Wall Street Daily News. In March, 1812, Brooklyn could not boast a single barber, J. Burke, who had long done business in that capacity, having removed to New York. The inconvenience was so great that a number of citizens met at the hotel then kept in Brooklyn by Barnum (afterward | famous as a Boniface in Baltimore) to rai'.e funds to tempt a man to come, I which was done.

THE COLORADO TRAGEDY. Massacre of Commissioners in Grand County. ~T ! > I*articulai's bf the Tlloody Encounter. [Denver Telegram.] From a multitude of conflicting reports constantly being received concerning the doiinty it i“ difficult to get the real facts in the uasu Cb#r>v tells the following story of the fight, which is deemed authentic: Day, Webber and Dean left Mrs. Young’s boarding-house for town, and when about twenty five paces from the house were passing a lot of .pines and rocks, Webber walking tflirty steps behind Dean and Day. Four masked men jumped out from behind the rocks and pines And shot Webber in ihe bUck; just ttbove the hips, tjbe bait passing through his body. Webber “I aid shot,” and ran toward Day and Dean, and fell before them. The leader of the masked party (Mills) then sprang on Dean, knock.ng him down, and began pounding him over the head with his gmi Dav drew his revolver aid shot Mi ls behind the ear, the powder from the pistol burning h.s hair. Mills fell on top of Dean. As soon as Day was ?hot the man >an back Upward Mm. Young s ice-house, and some masked med came up behind him. Day shot at him, and it is believed wounded him A shot from behind struck Day and the ball passed through his heart. He ran fifteen steps and fell dead in the pa h. Webber was uncon scious after falling, • and at 1,1:30 the same night was dying. HiS lalt words “Pour some water on my wounds ” Webber’s and Day’s bodies were taken to Webber’s ranch on Frazer’s farm, from whence Day s body was taken to the springs, where it will be* buried. Mills will be buried at Grand Lake. Dean is at Grand Lake alive at last accounts Coffin, Martin and William Redmon, supposed to be of the attacking party, have -o far eluded arrest The trouble that led to the shooting was the result of an old feud, dating back to 18 i 9, when the county was < reated by act of the Legislature and the s at located at Hot Sulphur Springs. At the election held in 1880, the people by a vote changed the county seat to Grand Luka The matter was taken to the District Court and then to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile the hatred existing between the two factions was growing in intensity, culminating yesterday in the bloody work. Grand county has three Day, R. G. Mills, and E. P. Webber—a majority of whom. Day and Mills, were in favor of aec'anng the vote illegal that created Grand L ike the county seat and removing the records back to the Springs. The Commissioners had a regular meeting at Grand Lake. Just what was done is not positively known, but it is reported they decided to declare the office of County Treasurer vacant because of his refusal to file a satisfactory bond During ;ho meeting Day, Webber and Clerk Dean stopped at Mrs. Young s boarding-house, a quarter of a mile around the end of a sma 1 lake. 'The road leading from Mrs. Young s to town is through a thicket of small pines It was while passing this point that the officials were shot down in tne manner desc: ibed. J. G. Mills, one of the Connni s..oners killed was a man of unenviable repu«a ion. Became to this S.ate from Mississippi, a fugitive from Justice, having, in company with one 0. S. Lee, shot and ki led W. H. Bill and Thomas Ballard. 'lhe a I’air occurred Oct 1, 1875, in Holmes county. Mills was for a time local ed.tor of the Cheyenne Leader, leaving that paper in 18?.* a. id going directly into Grand coun y, and became identified with the North Park Miner. He was a bold writer, and bore ’be renu ati n of being a whole-souled fellow. He was a native ot Vermont E. P. Webber was a young and energetic lawyer, who was for five years A. sis;ant State’s Attorney for the State of lil m is, at Chicago. He was a man general y well liked, and preferred the law to violence in the settlement of any question, although he was by no means a coward. Barney Day was an old-timer in Colorado, having been one of the first to come overland to Denver about twentv yeais ago. He emigrated to Middle Park in 1875, and lias lived there almost continuously ever since. He had a large numb r of warm per-onal friends and leaves a wife and one ch Id T. J. Dean was a nat ve of Michigan. He entered the army at the breaking out ol the war, and di tinguishe I himself for bravery and ability, and was brevet'd Colonel. He was afterward wound d and t k n prison r, and was for a long time one of the uniortunates who were confined in Libby prison. He was disabled from his wounds, 10-ingone eye and being otherwise seriously hurt Upon getting out of prison he came to Colorado, and has been here since. He went to Middle Park in 1871 or 1875. He is about 55 year s of age. He was for a long time Superintendent of Public Schools of Clear Creek county, and afterward held the position of County Judge of Grand county.

UP IN A BALLOON. A North Carolina Child’s Thrilling Aerial Voyage. A recent telegram from Morehead City, N. C., says; The 3-year-old daughter of Mrs. Robert Elliott was brought here a month ago to recover from an attack of fever Yesterday morning a strolling Italian made his appearance with a large cluster of those red bladder-like toy balloons. Maj.

Hatton’s newspaper, the Washington Republican, contains advertisements of office-brokers and office-seekers, which display a shameless traffic in department offices ffr ensb. flatten, the Assistant Postmaster General, dSrivfis an income for pandering to this corruption in the Government of which he is a member. One man, for example, recently offered to pay SSOO for a $1,200 position iu any of the departments, and requests those who can do anything for him to direct to the Republican office. Why does he not have proposals sent 1 under cover to the care of Hatton himself? It would be quite as appropriate and as little scandalous. Nor would Hattou pfobablv care if he were well paid for it.— Detroit Free I'rese. Civil .Service Fraud. The Enquirer took the trouble yesterday to ascertain the political affiliations of the applicants before the Civil Service Board on Monday. After patient inquiry onlvone Democrat had been found in the list. A roster of the Republicans who presented themselves will be found elsewhere in this paper. The word “Democrat” occurs once, and looks lonely, it was not a place where Democrats were wanted, and the managers of the Civil Service Sham manifestly cooked up the affair so as to confine the competition to the office-holding party. Very few people knew that the examination was to take place. General public notice was not given. Special information was evidently given to those who were wanted. Mr. Lyman told a reporter that no candidate was questioned in the examination as to his party predilections. Certainly not. Theßepublican Board knew,without inquiry, that they were dealing with Republican candidates. A solitary Democrat got over the bars, but he was in a helpless minority. The whole performance was a shabby piece of business. Under a pretense of non-partisan examination, a Board composed wholly of Republicans keeps school where only Republicans are welcome. How do Democrats like it ? How do poor men of all parties, who are not acquainted with the tricks of the trade of office-holding, like it ? How does it strike Senator Pendleton, who introduced and advocated the Civil Service bill ? How do the working people like this introduction of an aristocratic English plan for conducting the Civil Service of a people’s government. Is this importation from England the thing we want? Will Mr. Pendleton feel encouraged to push his other English scheme, the bill to admit members of the Cabinet to the floors of Congress to log-roll their bills and estimates through? The Cabinet bill and the Civil Service bill are twin frauds. The trickery and treachery which manifestly rule the examinations under the Civil' Service law will emphasize the opposition which the Democrats of Ohio have already shown.— Cin. Enquirer.

Change of Sentiment. A year ago it required all the art of I Secretary Chandler strenuously exerted ■ to secure iu a New England convention ] a cold and formal recognition of the administration of Arthur. He was then . personally unpopular, less because he | was Arthur tiiau because he was the i accidental successor of Garfield, ihe \ bulk of the Republicans wi re distrust- ■ ful of him, and with strange inconsis- i tency it was recalled with no little sat- j isfaction by the party that had elected : him to the Vice Presidency that Hayes had turned him out of the New Vork Custom House as unworthy of administering that trust. A change has come over the spirit of the party. The indorsement that a year ago was withheld, or was given grudgingly, is now warmly accorded. No Republican convention meets in any of the States that does not formally and cordially praise “the wise, coiweivative administration of President Arthur.” This was done by the Ohio, as cordially asbv the lowa, Republicans. How much of it is duo to a change in feeling wrought by the really creditable attitude of the administration, and how much to the fact that Arthur is the dispenser of the loves and fishes that are dear to the heart of the Republican, and are the mainstay or the hope of all politicians, the platform reader must determine for himself. But there is a certain significance in this now freely accorded recognition of the administration which the opponents of the Republican party may or may not be able to understand. They may fancy that the dissensions of last fall, by means of which, the Democrats profited in all th ■ elections, State and Congressional, will abide to their benefit through the presidential year. If they cherish this view, thev ling a delusion. These indorsements of Arthur mean the reunion of the Republican party for the campaign cf next year. The politicians of New York have adjusted their quarrels, and the Imlepcndents of Pennsylvania are declaring that they accomplished their whole programme last fall, and are now ready to act anew with the party which they meant merely to chasten. Encifiraged by the fall elections, which can not but show decided rev'.rery of lost ground, the Republicans will go into the Presidential canvass next year with a united front, zealously ~'ipporting the candidate, whoever he may happen to be.-- Clwaqo Time*.

NUMBER 15.

Chaijt.es Chttinodon, of GrehnfieW, was sevefdly gored by a vicious bull tile other evening. He was thrown ten feet in too air and severely wounded. This is the bull's second victim in the last year. The plaining and saw-mill, at Franklin, belonging to J. R. Payne and occupied by Robert Wagoner, contractor and builder, was entirely destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at «6,000 on building and machinery and $3,000 on material. There was hut #6OO insurance on workmen’s tools. At Millersburg, a fatal accident occurred the other night. A party of young ladies and gentlemen, while returning home from a dance at that town, were thrown from a high embankment by their horse running away, and one of the ladles, Lucy Smith, had her back broken and the other parties Were severely bruised and the buggy demolished. A Madison correspondent says: “A"wide-ly-published report that Prof. Thomas Harrison has been offered the presidency of Moore’s Hill College is officially denied. President Adkinson has been unanimously re-elected, and has no thought of resigning. The condition and the prospects of the institution are very encouraging under his efficient and satisfactory administration. Mr. Harrison was tendered a professorship, but declined. 8 At 1:25 o’clock the other morning, train No. son the Cincinnati, Richmond and Fori. Wayne railway ran over the body of Jacob Husser, at a point a mile and a half north of Berne, a small station thirty-three miles south of Fort Wayne. An investigation made at once discovered that the body was cold, on which account it is believed that a murder has been committed and the victim’s body was placed on the track to evade suspicion. Husser’s age was 50. A tebbible accident happened in the round-house of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway Company at Fort Wayne. An engine carrying 120 pounds of steam was undergoing some trifling repairs. John Fisher, a machinist, was in the pit below and was pounding on the mud-pipe with a small hammer. Suddenly a bolt or nut gave way, and Fisher was blown to the far end of the pit, sustaining Injuries of the most frightful nature. The engineer and fireman and several others, who stood about the locomotive, were more or less scalded. Fisher was taken home on a stretcher, and his condition is pronounced very critical A Lafayette aispatcn says: -nenry Morgan and Bessie Lovejoy, of Rantoul, 111., are in trouble, the latter being cared for by the Sheriff, while Henry's anticipations of bliss have been suddenly shattered. Finding it impossible to marry at home, and desiring to do something out of the usual course, they rode to Paxton, both on one horse, and, boarding a train, come to Lafayette on a matrimonial voyage. Here new impediments arose, Clerk Mitchell refusing them a license. They confided the secret that they were absent without leave of Miss Lovejoy's pa, and soon the wire flashed the Intelligence to the operator at Rantoul to notify Albion Lovejoy that his runaway daughter was here. ‘What shall we do with her?’ was asked. The an- . ........ u— r —s- rc-‘ “>• vuviem the morning.’ So the wedding is indefinitely postponed. ” A few days ago a rather dudeish-looking fellow registered at the Jewell House, Michigan City, as W. Elmore, but gave no place of residence. While in ! the city he played the role of a gay I sport with lots cf money and more cheek; he drank high-priced whisky, talked loud, bet promiscuously and claimed to be from New York. He was recognized by parties from Troy, Michigan, as John H. Bice, who had swindled Tuft 4 Co., of that city, out of nearly SIOO by forging orders for money on T. Moorehouse, of Chicago, in whose employ Rice used to be. T. Moorehouse is a commission merchant, and had placed money with Tuft to pay any orders he sent them in favor of parties from whom he had sold ; vegetables or fruit. Rice having been in the employ of Moorehouse, knew his methods, • and succeeded easily in getting money from ; Tuft & Co, on his forged orders. As soon as his whereabouts was made known to Tuft ' & Co. they sent orders by telegraph for Rice’s arrest. It turns out by a telegram from the chief of police at Chicago that Rice is also wanted there by his old employer, T. Moorehouse, whose store he lately broke into and robbed. He is also wanted in New York for similar crookedness. Sheriff Clark arrived from Troy, Mich., and Rice consent--1 ed to go with him without a requision, as he I said he preferred to be tried in Michigan for forgery rather than in Chicago for burglarly. ___________
