The Treasury officials are very much puzzled at the appearance of another counterfeit coin which is likely to deceive even the average expert. It is ass cold piece, and is worth $4.53 in gold The count erfeit is said to be the best e\ er made, and its perfect!. n has created tee grave suspicion that the Government dies have been tampered with or an impression taken from them. Placed >de by side with the genuine $5 piece, the difference can scarcely be detected bv any but experts. Ihe weight is nearly the same, and can only be detected by the gold scales. It is stated at the Treasury Department that, by reason of the vigorous action of the Government in prosecuting the opium smugglers on the Pacific coast, the duties co lected in San Fran isco on o; ium during the last fiscal vear were more than sl,' (4).OfO in excess of the collections from that source in the previous year.

- INDIANA STATE MAYS. Arrests lor an Old Murdei* at Evansville— New Development*. An Evansville correspondent writes the Indianapolis Ans?'. 14: A year ago, Yesterday morning; a family bf three persons by the name of Weiber were murdered while asleep in their house. The house stood at the extreme northern limits of the city, and only five feet from the line, which is also the dividing line between Pigeon and Perry to The walls were spattered with the blood that flowed from their throats when cut by the assassins, and the beds on which they lay were covered with gore, when the murder was discovered, the next morning. The day of the discovery was Sunday , and the news spread like wild-fire. A driver of a wagon stopped at the house. There was a saloon ih front, and finding the front door Open arid the bat disordered, he went into the sleeping room where the mutilated bodies were lying. From 7 o’clock in the morning until far into the night there were streams of people going to look at the house. To-day the house is one of the chief curiosities of the place, cheap and mean as it is. George Lenhardt, a German laborer, was arrested, charged with the murder. His wife was the owner of the house in which it was done, and it was a good stand for a saloon, he wanted to oust Weiber and occupy it himself. His record was very bad He had to leave Germany on account of a murder. In Mount Vernon, Ind., he smothered his child to death and barely escaped hanging. On the trial for the murder of the Weihers, while reasonably sure that he was guilty, the evidence could not be brought into court to prove it, and the State was forced to abandon the prosecution on the ground of no evidence. He had lain in jail for several months before his trial, and he endeavored to obtain compensation for this confinement in jail, and has since been working in a stave factory near the scene of the murder. On the 10th of July, Superintendent of Police Pritchett received u letter from an anonymous correspondent saying if he would ask for information of a Mrs. Barber, living seventeen miles from the city down the Ohio, he would obtain a clew. Mrs. Barber, whose husband is a fanner in a small way, told the Superintendent a connected story, which implicates her husband, Barber, and Lenhardt. The police have, in addition to this confession, procured a chain of evidence that will succeed in fastening the crime upon the two meu. Yesterday, after Superintendent Pritchett and Detective Resing arrested Barber at his home, they immediately telephoned Captain Lewett, of the police, who arrested Lenhardt, and both are now in the county jail. The excitement in the vicinity of the scene of the crime, where the feeling has always been against Lenhardt. is intense. News Notes, Noble county supports eight printing offices. The Utzenberger flouring-mill, on Oakland hill, near Lafayette, recently destroyed by fire, has been rebuilt. The State Health Board has postponed the election of a Secretary, vice Hawn, deceased, until September 6th. Miss Catherine Merrill, Professor of English Literature in Butler University, has tendered her resignation. Jefferson Anderson, whose leg was mutilated in a threshing machine at Crandaltown last week, died from the effects of his injuries. A. C. Cox. a fanner of Winder township, Knox county, made an assignment to Capt. George Reilly, of Vincennes. His liabilities are $8,060. The steamer “Belle of Fountain” sank iu the Wabash river, about nine miles north of Vincennes, last week, in consequence of striking a snag. At Madison, Samuel Kelso, on trial under an indictment for shooting with intent to kill Peter Siegel, was acquitted in the Criminal Court Verdict, self-defense. The teachers' class which graduated from the Central Normal College at Danville, last week, numbered forty, the largest class ever sent out by that Institution. Lizzie Donahue, a 2-years-old daughter of Micheal Donahue, residing near Valparaiso, went to the well to get a drink, lost her balance, fell in and was drowned. The drought throughout Southern ludiana west and south of Huntingburg, is of a month's duration and is very seriously affecting the corn and tobacco crops in some localities. Omer Hubst, living seven miles north of Conuersville, retired the other night, leaving $l9O in the pocket of his pants hanging on the bedpost. The next morning he found the garment on the porch with the pockets rifled. A reunion and picnic for the mutes of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan will be held at the fair grounds at Marion in September, after the fair. A deaf and dumb minister wiil be present and preach and sing in the deaf and dumb language. Albert Ramsdell, a young farmer living near Elkhart, met with a terrible accident which will probably result fatally. He slid down a straw-stack and alighted on a fork, which penetrated and tore a horrible wound. He has a wife and two children. In making an excavation for the foundation of a new opera-house at Elkhart, the workmen discovered the skulls of two infants, showing that at some time in the past a foul crime had been committed there. It is on the site where an old hotel once stood. At the negro celebration fourteen miles north of Elkhart, during a melee in which a number were engaged, a negro named Matt Wilson was shot in the back and instantly killed by another negro named Jim Aikin. He and four others were arrested. The celebration broke up in discord. A pile-driving and boarding-car filled with laborers, attached to the south-bound accommodation train on the Lake Shore road, jumped the track at St. John's station. The laborers became frightened and jumped out of the boarding-car. Several were injured. Charles Sharitt, brakeman, jumped iu a culvert and had both legs broken, which necessitated amputation. At Napoleon, twelve miles southeast of Greensburg, William Barnard, the engineer of William Myers' flour-mill, got caught in the main driving belt in attempting to throw it off, and was terribly injured. Several gashes are cut on his head, face and neck. Besides these he was struck in the body by the revolving pitman of the engine, and is suffering fjom these injuries. Their extent is not yet known, and may prove mortal. He is a young man of 23 years and unmarried. Among others who came to see the Nells Brothers' show at Franklin was T. B Himgate, a Democratic J olitician of Pleasant township. In buying a reserved seat in ihe circus tent it became uecessary to make change and Hungate produced a roll of money. After the show he found fie was short $-30, and it immediately flashed upon bis mind that the circus man had slipjied it ra Lii' hand while making change.

Thornt Hollingsworth, of Vincennes, went to Bruceville, and shot and killed himself in his mother’s barn, and in her presence. He left his and wife and children at Vincennes. Hollinsworth was a member of one of the best families in Knox county. He Returned ffoin fiaufias last fall financially straighted, and has been hoeing a liard row .”ince. He was insanely jealous of his wife, without cause, and claims that she ill-treat-ed him, and left a note of reproach to her. In justice to the lady it might be said that she has supported him by w orking. The 19th annual meetiiig tiffi ffid. settlers of Rush Co. met last week at the fairgrounds at Rushville.

Sunday morning, between 1 and 2 o’clock, Adam Lipknight, a notorious young rough, shot and instantly killed Joseph Skeets, at a picnic, about eight miles frrm Evansville. The picnic was given by a cousin of Lipknight’s, and the latter had a beer and refreshment stand. During the afternoon, two young farmers asked for and obtained two sandwiches and three glasses of beer, for which they refused to pay. Lipknight and his younger brother John tried to obtain the value of the articles by punishing the farmers, but only succeeded iu exciting the crowd. No outbreak occurred, however, until the time mentioned, when Lipknight, his wife and brother, and a prostitute, were leaving the grounds in a barouche. The crowd gathered around the vehicle, and Lipknight says that, fearing injury, he, to intimidate the crowd, fired two shots from his revolver. One of the shots took effect in Skeet’s right side, causing instant death. The other shot was harmless. When Lipknight’s party left the grounds, immediately after the firing, they were not aware of any one being killed; the information was telephoned to police headquarters and Lipknight was arrested and placed in jail to answer to the charge of murder. His wife and brother were also arrested. There are four alleged murderers in the county jail awaiting trial. The grand jury has been called in special session a month in advance of the usual time, to consider the evidence of the crimes. THE MARKET. NEW YORK.

DORSEY AGAIN. He Repeats the Story that Two High Offices Were Bought by Monopolists. Loyalty to Grant Alone Stood in the Way of Conkling's Nomination at Chicago. If Any One Denies It, Dorsey Says He Will Prove He Was Offered a Cabinet Position. The New York prints a lengthy interview with ei-Sentltur D fsey, held at his home in Mountain Sptiilg ilttnoh, New Mexico. He says he was surprised at th*J publication of his so-called “Revelations,” recently published, and that he neither wrote nor inspired the article. He is always ready to be responsible for whatever he says, and when he goes into print, he added, he w ill do so over his own name. Furthermore, he <-.shed to deny the article in question because there was so much in it complimentary to himself that it looked as if he himself had bceii responsible for the praise. Mr. Dorsey did hot object to the article on a count of any errors in it After having it read to him he had come to the conclusion that it \\ as true. In the course of h.s remarks to the correspondent, in speaking of the Chicago Republican Ct nvei.tion, Mr Dors ty says Roscoe Oo«k ing could have been nominated had he so much as lifted his finger. The whole Grant vote could have been transferred to him, and there were prominent genLemen representing States opposed to Grant who went to Dorsey and to Arthur and promised to go with them if they would drop Grant aud take up (onkling. Dorsey told Conkling that his nominal < n could be consummated if he would allow them to make the combinat on, but Conkling said he was sent to vote for Grant and he would do so. THE FIFTH-AVENUF CONFERENCE. In speaking of the Fifth-avenue conference Ait. Dorsey said: “The minor d tails of that meeting are of no great consequence. It is the single bottom fact that should be known. It seemed to me after I had been put in charge of the committee, that the outlook pointed to some tr üble in New York. Hayes had giv n the Republicans of that State a terrible dose of the croton oil of power. It was not thought by Mr. Conkling nor by Gen. Ar.hur that it was worth while for them, upon the implied promise of a florid party that they should nave their services recogni. ed, when sauce had for four years been thr wn to their party friends/but no meat, to turn the wheels so that the mud should stick to them In plainer English, the B.alwart Republicans of New York believed that if they had to do the heavy work of the campaign there ought to be a positive pledge and pjomise < f recognition for what they did. Nobody was o loud mouthed and persistent in this matt' r as the man who is now President. Mr. Conklin/ took no part whatever in these discu-sious on this matter. Arthur and George Bliss were the running mates of that splendid defah ation 1 had al I could do to perfe t the .-.rrangemeius for the meeting It seemed to me that champagne ami idi cy were the ru irg spirits among some New iork politicians lac hours and moral and int He tual debauchery were te ling their story in the varnished faces < f some of these leaders. But I finally persuaded carfield to come to New York to meet these sta. waits. Gar file ds execu ors must have my letters.

Therefore 1 say that the sole purpose of that meeting was'to induce the Republicans of New York to believe that they were not to be cheated as they bad been before.” ‘ The g eat i arty had come to that, then?” “Well, that Was the object of the meeting. ” “Was there any agreement made there to which Gen. Garfield, as the candidate, became a party ?” “Why, certainly,” said the ex-Senator, in most vigorous utterances. “It was agreed point blank and pt omitted &s the price of the support of these New York Republicans that Levi P Morton was to be made Secretaiy of the Treast ry in the event of Garfield s election. There can be no possible question of denial of that. The persons whom I have aln ady named above must bear witn.’ss to the <ruth of this statement. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, can bear witness, and from Garfield s own talk with him I know it is a convenient way now’of answer ng m* to say th. 11 do not ay what is tr ie. I tell you that Mr. Morton was p edged in the presen e of those gentlemen the Treasury portfolio, and that i ledge was violated, and 1 don’t care three tigs for anv contradiction The fact remains, and I ant think any friend of Garfield will attempt to deny it. I see that Swaim seems to I e swift now’ in denials. Perhaps he would like to have me tell the story of h's avarice and pretensions. I will not do it just now. I don’t care to dig up a sprig when I’m getting at a tree ” ‘How aoour the promise to allow’ a syndicate of New’ York bankets to control the refunding of the b mds?” •Well, there isn’t any doubt abou* the practical 11uth of t 1 at sta'em* nt I know by that arrangement we pul ed th • i in feathers out of one man in New York who had been getting rich at the Gov'iiment crib, and who refused to contribute anvthing He’s a prominent hanker, not far fiom Wall street” STANLEY MATTHEWS. “Now, Seva or, is it true that a trade was made with Gattie d by Jay Gou d ami C.

Men are living who can defend the dead if they care or dare to. I will say, then, positively, emphatically, that the tiade intimated by the .S’»/n is true in a’l its substantial features. I say categorica ly that Garfield promised t e two greatest monopolists in N< w York— Jay Gould and C. P. Huntington—that Stanley Matthews should go. at the earl est opportunity, upon the Supreme Bench, and he agreed, if the vacancy occurred before he v as inaugural ed that he would see to it that Hayes made ti.e appointment.

P.-tniaster General James and A uno G<-n rai MacVeagh. Mr. Dorsey ays: ‘Garfield, after a good deal of wobb'ing. had determined upon the early rein .val ot both. If lie had not been shot the ■lav he was, within a week other parties would have taken MacYeaghs .nd James' portfolios. 1 think he had determined to appoint Gen. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, Att ruev General, and would have been glad to appoint Tom P.at‘, of New York, Postmaster General, hoping that this would heal tlie breach in New York. MacVeagh’s treatment ot Blaine and of William E. Chandler was i o infamous that thei e was only one of two alternatives left either MacVeagh had to go out or Blaine had.” In concluding this interview, Mr. Dorsey sav< This business of Boner sons apdmtnient was another rape on honesty.

So far as 1 am concerned my bank account with all these gentlemen is balanced. THAT CABINET POSITION. Mr. Dorsey's at'ention was then called to Gov. Foster's recent denial that Garfield ever offered Dorsey a Cabinet place. Mr. Doiseysnid: “When Fo-ter, or Swaim, or anybody el e eave that Gen Garlield only offered me a Cabinet place to make me ‘feel good, and with the expectation that I would decline it, they simply state wiiat is untrue. Gen. Garne d urged nie in the strongest terms over and over again to accept a p!a o in the i abinet When I declined it, a* I did repeatedly, and, as my letters, now probably held by Swaim, will show, Garfield was athaz.ed. i say that he urged with all s n cerity that. I come into the Cab net. Isay at Id dined. If anybody cares to deny that now, we will give them proofs.”

The New York Timos is of the opinion that the Republican party is afflicted with the glanders. The only remedy for glanders when it attacks a horse is to kill the animal and cleanse the stable. The Republican party will have to take that sort of medicine. Some of the iron men of Pennsylvania who profess to be unable to pay fair wages to their employes have found thousands of dollars to put into the hands of William Mahone, to be used in his effort to preserve the solidity of the colored vote in Virginia.—llfts/i---iiigton Post. The Boston Post felicitously remarks that “young Mr. Thurman, of Ohio, seems "to have discovered that while people honor and respect his father they don’t care two straws about him or what he thinks, and he has therefore done the wisest thing he could do; he has shut up." President Arthur has at last got started on his “swingin’” feat Edmunds is watching him with a jealous eye, and Blaine is prepared to write a particularly-vicious paragraph about him in that book in case the performance excites too much favorable mention.—Atlanta Constitution. A Missouri Democrat made a good point the other day when asked about Tilden’s health. He said: “Don’t ask tne; but if he runs he will sweep the country like a whirlwind. People say he is feeble, but I notice that he has outlived many of those who helped to cheat him out of the Presidency, like Zach Chandler, Edwin M. Stoughton, Eliza Pinkston and others I can’t at once recall.” “Thebe are 1,600 townships in the State of Indiana, and in each of these townships we had three good, honest, square Republicans to canvass the whole vote, to find out what was wanted in their townships to change the complexion of affairs ami to report to us at Indianapolis when the time came. Each one of these men, nearly 5,000 in number, reported what they could do, and how much it would take to influence people to a change of thought— Erl '■ ■ from Dorsey’s interview in. Chicago Herald. The Republican party believes in stealing the Presidency; it believes in buying the Presidency; it believes in fostering and protecting monopolies; it believes in corrupting elections as a, matter of personal pride; it believes in extortionate taxes and in collecting from the people more taxes each year, than the necessities of the Government require.
