MI (nation* Wanted, and Help Wanted. The DAILY NKWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or situations, and of those needing help of any kind, without charge—suchadvertisements not to exceed 30 word*.

LONDON, Feb. 26.—The Times, discussing the tenant right meeting at Portadown, broken up by the Orangemen, says: It is impossible to doubt that the recent agitations in Ireland will tend to resuscitate the Orange spirit in Ulster.

LAFAYETTE, Feb. 26.—President M. E. Ingalls, of the Cincinnati, LaFayette & Chicago Road, left this city to-day on a tour of inspection over the road. The new management will make several needed improvements, among which is the laying of steel rails. It is expected that the track from Cincinnati to this city will be laid with steel rails by the first of next June. .,

CI.OVERDAI.E. Feb, 26.—At abont 10 o'clock this morning, Mrs Isaac Castin, who resides the south part of town, left her home for a few lnoniclits to call on a neighbor. In her absence her eight-months-old child crawled tinder and wedged itself beneath a hot heating stove, and when the mother returned it was almost roasted to death. Its.back un| hips were literally cooked.

CRAWFORDSYTLLR, Feb. 26.—A wreck occurred on the L., N. A. & C.. at Red Bridge, over Sugar creek, near this city, at 11 o'clock last night, which is the most serious experienced on the road for a year or more. An extra coal train going North broke in two above the bridge, leaving eight or ten cars behind, which ran buck to the bridge. The engineer came back the down grade at the rate of 40 miles an hour, striking the rear cars with such force as to telescope four of them and throwing three or four cars from the track. —An Indianapolis telegrafn to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: Recent bitter attacks of the Journal ou Gen Tom Brady, Assistant Postmaster-General, have en-

rendered very bitter feelings between Republicans, and the course of the Journal has been freely denounced, and by some approved. Letters were received in this city yesterday making it an assured fact that Gen Brady will start a three-cent morning daily in this city at an early date. The paper will be stalwart in politics, and backed by unlimited capital. Arrangements tire now in progress, and the paper will be started in a short time.

LONDON, Feb. 26.—The North German Gazette says it will be glad if the discussion of article on^Jfonday last (on KusRo-GSth press should lead the neighboring people to ask themselves whether Germany is likely to entertain aggressive intentions against them. Russia's climate and the extent of her territory form a natural barrier which hardly needs strengthening. Germany's garrisons are not, distributed 10 the best advantage even for prompt defense, much less attack, but the resemblance between Russia and Germany fails, especially in that Germany never thought of an expedition against her neighbors, and is less likely to do so now than ever. The events of' 1871 were forced on her much against her will.

CHICAGO, Feb. 86.—The report of Secretary Randolph, of the Board of Trade, from advance slips show that the receipts for the year of wheat was 84,000,000 bushels, the largest by 4,000,000 bushels ever arriving in this city in a year.

It was called with a view to preventing the reoccurence of an embarrassment, which the majority have frequently to encounter this session, namely that finding themselves without a sufficient number of their own partv to make a quorum. After an extended interchange of suggestions it was by common consent agreed that pairs ought not to be made, except on condition that either of the members pairing shall have the right to vote, if his vote be, necessary to make a quorum.

The desirability of adopting some set of joint rides to govern the transaction of business between the House and Senate, was suggested by severa lScnators, there being no joint rules now in force.

General Sherman endorsed the papers sent to the Secretary of War by H. V. Boynton, preferring charges against him, as follows:

T(IK ARMY,

WASHI-NUTON, Feb. S8,1880. ,,

To Hon, A. Rammy, 8ecretar$ of War: Sra—I have this moment received for the first time the communication of H. V. Boynton, addneawjd to me under date of January 28. 1880, inclosing charges and specifications against General W, T. Sherman, with hi* volume marked exhibit 1I recognize the manuscript document as suhftUu&tiaUT tbe 8&2B& && IJW* pal* tished in all the newspapers for the past two weeks, and herewith I return it with the few remarks I de*» proper to make.

fice and my p«Bt record~of pubHc services. »r and which has stood 60 years without a single imputation on my honor or integrity. Hie two first specifications involve purely the civil offense of libel or slander compressed into the short letter I wrote him under date of January 16,1880, every I word of which is true, and which I am prepared to justify. As to the third specification, I have never heard that Generals Grant or Thomas or Logan or Blair, or any of the great men whom he assumes to'defend, have ever appointed Genera] Boynton their attorney. To the living and to the friends of the dead, I am ever responsible for every word spoken or written. I yield to no man in my love and veneration of my comrades, and have been for Id years, on all suitable occasions, their eulogist. All men have their good qualities and human defects, and iu accounting for the actual events of a terrible civil war. I was forced, like every commander of an army, to account for the actual results. If ever in my life, at any time, I have done injustice to any per son whomsoever, which I deny, 1 will cheerfully submit the matter to an umpire and abide, by his Judgment.

I have made this proposition again and again, aud will renew it publicly at our next army meeting. These meetings are composed of the men who knew and felt the causes referred to, and compose the rightful tribunal for the matter set forth in the third and last specification. I ad mit the right of H. V. Boynton. or any other citizen, to prove these charges, and that I am always amenable to a court martial, and I am glad he has reduced his complaint to a tangible form. He has no right to Impose upon the United States the heavy cost of a miliary trial of witnesses from a distance and necessary attorneys' fees. 1 regard his premature publication of these matters of scandal as in the line of his profession, and meant pur •posely to avoid the only trial which is right and proper, viz: in oue of the many civil tribunals, which exist in the District of Columbia for this very purpose. I beg therefore that you will understand that 1 am abundantly ready to answer lie fore any court, that when, a month ago, this Boynton publicly threatened me with a suit, I employed as my attorney, Hon Matt. II. Carpenter, who is ready to answer in my name at any and all times. 1 have the honor to be your obedieut servant. W. T. SUKRMAN, General.

It will be remembered that the President returned the papers endorsed substantially that a civil court was the place for Boynton to apply for redress .if he had any grievance. •t'i .. j»i ...ii. .I'.. ?. MAN FKAXCIHCO.

Explanation of the wtuiatlon of AtmirN. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.—It would appear from the tone of the editorials in Eastern papers, telegraphed hero, that •nrneh -npjweireBsioft exists as to tU® real

situation here. It is not true that the agitatioh has assumed a Socialistic aspect, nor is there any good reason to believe that within a few days a mob Will march on Chinatown. Several things have combined to bring about the present state of affaira. The processions of the uncmployed, and their demand for the discharge of Chinese and the employment of white labor, excited the Workingmen and irritated capital. The passage of the law forbidding corporations to employ Chinese, and the refusal of fcertain corporation managers to comply with the law until it, had been interpreted by the United States courts, aggravated the mutual hard feeling.

The action of the Board of Health, declaring Chinatown a nuisance, was supposed by the workingmen to mean the immediate condemnation of the Chinese quarters and the removal of the occupants to the outskirts of the city, and the delay necessarily arising in carrying out the decree of consummation in detail under legal processes, hasjjiven rise to the apprehension that an effort is on foot to defeat the measure. These things combined to impress the Workingmen with the belief that though they liave both the law and justice in the case on their side an organized attempt is afloat to resist the laws and rob them of the benefits expected from their opeerations. This belief has been fostered and their fears worked up to the highest pitch of apprehension by the very windy declamations of some of their leaders, until they are undoubtedly living in daily expectation of the nprising of a vigilance committee backed by the police and military, for the purpose of killing their leaders and trampling the law under foot.

As a matter of lact the condemnation of Chinatown meets with the almost unani- ,, mous approval of the citizens the corporations are dally discharging Chinese and a relief movement has been inaugurated. On the other hand the incendiary language of the agitators has alarmed and exasperated the business class until they are ready to arm in self defense. Both parties are lashing themselves to thry over almost purely imaginary and suppositious grounds of disagreement. No doubt Mayor Kalloch means to use all his influence with his followers to keep the peace, but he probably recognizes the fact that to maintain his influence over them it is necessary to a certain extent to fall into their ways of speech and action. At the present time a few calm words between the leaders of the Workingmen and business classes would go far to create a better understanding and remove all danger of a conflict, ana froth appearances to-day there is reason to believe that something of the kind has taken place, and that influences are at work tending to a pacific solution of the question.
