Yesterday morning, the day announced for the beginning of the campaign, which promises so much in the near future, covered wagons and covered buggies, carriages, and “schooners,” tilled with the families of the eager yet itinerant boomers, could be seen in droves and numbered by the score. To-day the crowd has been supplemented by hundreds more, all with sails set for the happy, cherished spot called Oklahoma. From the earnestness of the boomers and their equipments one would imagine they are determined to “fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.” This, in short, is the spirit displayed by several men who were interviewed while passing through the city.

The Louisville Courier-Journal publishes a lengthy interview with Senator Beck upon the Johnson-Grant-Depew matter. Mr. Beck was a Representative from Kentucky in Congress during Johnson’s impeachment, and all of his recollections are contrary to the theories of Mr. Depew. In regard to Johnson’s imbroglio with Grant about the Stanton matter, Mr. Beck says the President gave him a letter from Gen. Sherman, “which, together with his charges and Gen. Grant’s admissions, proved, as he and I thought, that Grant had agreed to turn the War Department over, to him, and not give it up to Stanton, and that Grant and Sherman, by their action on the 18th and 19th of January, virtually confessed this fact by insisting, for the good of the service, on the resignation of Stanton. ” This letter is as follows: No. 352 K Street, Washington. I neglected this morning .to say that I had agreed to go down to Annapolis to spend Sunday with Admiral Porter. Gen. Grant had to leave for Richmond on Monday morning at 6 o’clock. At a conversation with the General after the interview wherein I offered to go with him on Monday to Mr. Stanton and say that it was our joint opinion that he should resign, it was found impossible, by reason of his going to Richmond and my going to Annapolis. The General by his course will call on you to-morrow, and offer to go to Stanton and say for the good of the service he ought to resign. This on Sunday. On Monday I will call upon you, and if you think it necessary I will do the same—call on Mr. Stanton and tell him he should resign. If he will not, then it will be time to consider ulterior matters. In the meantime it also happens that no necessity exists for precipitating matters. Yours truly, W. T. Sherman. The President has appointed Frederick H.

Bradstreet’s Journal, in its weekly review of the trade situation, says: “The most conspicuous feature in the general trade situation reported this week to Bradstreet's is a pronounced improvement in the iron and steel industries. Pig iron, even at the East, is in more general and in firmer demand, and makers are, as a result, waiving aside all negotiations for deliveries in 1886. The prospect is that 1886 will prove a busy one for the rail mills. The movement of general merchandise is no heavier than last week with the exception that at Chicago it is reported that seasonable lines of goods move briskly, and that with a continuance of the existing rate of country purchases another period of noticeable activity is likelv to result. At St Louis, too, dry goods are selling actively. Cincinnati also reports a better business, especially in dry goods. Philadelphia, Meniphis, Cleveland, Detroit, Burlington, Iowa; St. Paul, and Minneapolis have had a more moderate volume of trade, though of fair proportions. The dry goods movement is still ahead of that at the like period in. 1884, but below that of one month ago. Prices are steady. Wo-,I sales too are checked, with prices firm.

Russia is reported as really opposed to the union of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia, and knowledge of this fact causes fresh agitation in the unsettled regions. M. De Lesseps has asked from the French Government permission to issue further Panama Canal bonds to the amount of $120,000,000, to defray necessary expenses in excess of the original estimates. A medical examination has been made of Mattei, the • man who sought to assasinate M. de Freycinet, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the prisoner has been declared insane.

The year has been a very prosperous one for the Territory; not only have the crops been excellent, but the prices commanded have been very much in advance of those realized a year ago.
