It is expected that the bill for the division of Dakota will be reported from the committee to the house to-day. It is thought the bill will pa«s, but the tug of war will .come when it is proposed to admit Southern Dakota as a state.

The Kentucky office seekers continue in a state uncomfortable neivous excitement. They are about the only gang remaining in Washington at this time. They are all confident, some of them even claiming that they have assurance of success. It is needless to any that the president makeH no promises, and that those who claim to have any from him, merely make such assertions to discourage their competitors.

An Item is going the rounds of the press to tbe effect that a smallpox patient died in the Terre Haute pest house without medical attendance, all the doctors refusing to visit htm. There is no truth whatever in the statement, which is a libel on the medical fraternity of the city. We do not believe there is a physician in the city who would refuse to visit a smallpox patient if it were neoessary that he should do so.

Missouri furnishes the latest horror. On Sunday night Russel Brown, son of the prosecuting attorney of St. Louis county, together with a companion named McGlew, went to the residence of Brown's grandmother, Mrs. Gen. George P. Dorris, about three miles from St. Louis, to rob the old lady of valuables. In the ecufile Mrs. Dorris, who was over seventy-five years of age, was killed. Brown was arrested and has made a confession, but his accomplice is still at large.

The cigar manufacturers want the tax reduced one dollar per thousand, and the distillers are clamoring for a reduction of the tax on whiskey from ninety to fifty cents per gallon. The reductions are small enough to be of no benefit to consumers, while they would be of immense advantage to the manufacturers. The reduction on cigars would be one-tenth of a oent on each cigar, and forty cents on each gallon of drinks. This would not cause much of a reduction in. the retail price.

Vincennes wants locomotive work9 established there, and a former master mechanic of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad offers to go ahead with the work provided a company with a capital of $100,000, limited, is formed. He estimates that an establishment employing 200 men can be started for $75,000, and will pay $12,000 per month profit to the stockholder?. Here is a matter which interests Terre Haute, and if the estimate is correct our business men should not allow such an opportunity for a splendid investment to paas. Terre Haute is in every sense of the word a better point for such works than Vincennea.

Some one in Cincinnati has offered Scoville $5,000 for Guiteau's carcass as Boon as the government gets through with it. Scoville Baid of it: "This makes the fourth offer of the kind I have received, and

I declined them all. I will answer this telegram in the morning. The first offer was only $1,000. The second raised it $500. Then came a New York museum concern with an offer of $3,000, and now comes this. Of coorae, I have no right to dispose of Guiteau's body, though he has told me several times that he was willing that it shoald be

Bold

as a means of defraying

expenses. I am sot in the bussiness of selling stififc, however, and under no circumstances will consider snch an offer." Scoville should accept at once. This is doubtless the highest price ever placed upon the murderer, and we do not see how a purchaser could ever make his money out of tbe investment. The pecyle would not tolerate him to travel over the country with it.

THE FAUST CASE AGAIS.

The Gazette is mistaken in thinking that the Express wants to defend the board of he.alth if that body has done wrong. When the case of Louis Faust was first reported this paper severely criticized the action of tbe health officer in the coarse pursued by him in not having the case immediately removed, or causing a red flag to be displayed on the building. In explanation of the case the members of the board Bay that when the case was reported to them on Friday the patient was allowed to remain on the premises that night on condition that he should be kept perfectly isolated. On Saturday Mr. Faust waB directed either to remove the patient to the pest house or put out a smallpox flag. He chose the former and agreed to furnish a conveyance. On Friday the friend* of young Faust agteed to furnish everything necessary, and the proposition was confirmed on Saturday by Fred Faust, who was furnished a written order on the family in the pest house to build afire and have everything in readiness to receive the patient, and who was also requested to send word over to the house an hour or two before the removal, which he agreed to do. At the same time the board informed Mr. Faust that if anything was wanted to inform them and it would, be provided,' and that if things were not managed to his satisfac* tion to mention tbe fact and a correction would quickly follow. No physician was asked for or one would have been provided. It was reported to the board that the patient's brother was with him, and proposed to remain with him. The attendant furnished by the board was Mr. George Planett, who has nursed patients before, both here and in Philadelphia, which is a sufficient refutation of the statement that he was afraid or did not assist the patient in every possible way. If the unfortunate young man did not receive every attention which his case demanded, it was on account of the excesssive modesty of his friends preventing them from asking for it. Each day the board was in forrred by come of his friends that everything was all right. The board admits that in one respect there was cause tor complaint. It appears that the family who had been occupying the pest house building for some time had taken poseseion of all the utensils belonging to it, and, instead of preparing it for occupancy, really did oil in their power to prevent the admission of the patient.

This is the statement of the board of health. It is straightforward and indicates that they did what they thought was best to be done. We dod not see that any blame can be attached to them in this case, but in order to avoid cavil in the future it would be well for them to be prepared for any emergency. The building should be ready at all times for the reception of patients. A physician should be employed to attend to cages, and if the board are not satisfied that they have the power to employ one they should inquire into tbe matter and have it done as soon as possible. The health officer should not place too much reliance in others in having the directions of the board carried out. We believe it ia his duty to see that the instructions are carried out, and he should see to such matters personally. While it is to be hoped that the city will escape the scourge, still it is evident that every preparation should be made to deal with all cases promptly.

The change of front of the administration in regard to Peruvian and Chilian affairs is not at all encouraging to the advocates of the Monroe doctrine. Secretary Blaine instructed Mr. Trescott, special envoy, to do all in his power against allowing Chili to absorb Peruvian territory. The instructions had a warlike aspect, and doublless meant interferance on the part of our government in the event.of certain contingencies. Since Mr Blaine retired from the etate department the government has changed its tone entirely. Its former course has beed abandoned, and in effect Chili is informed that she can dojas she pleases in exacting terms from her conquered foe. This sudden ch&nge has caused the enemies of the exsecretary to jump at the conclusion that he planned the policy of the government without consulting the president at all. In other words, he usurped the authority of the executive. This Mr. Blaine denies in the most positive language, and says that he never acted for a moment without being fully authorized by the president, whether Gaifield or Arthur that every point was carefully discussed, every letter was weighed and examined with care, some of them being several times rewritten, and that there are drafts of them to prove the truth of his statement. If this is the case it will be a very easy matter to get at the whole truth, and it should be known. While we have no faith in the Monroe doctrine, and believe the recent change to be a good one, we see no occasion for the attacks on the ex-eecretary, making him out a usurper, and questioning his honesty and good faith with the executive.

Rev. Dr. Heary Whitney Bellows died at his home in New York yesterday. He was born in Boeton June 11,1814. He was educated at Harvard university and completed his course in the divinity school at Cambridge, where he graduated in 1837. In 1848 he was ordained pastor of the First Congregational church in New York, since known as All Soul's chnrch, in which relation he remained np to the present time. He was chief originator of the Christian Inquirer, a Unitarian newspaper in New York, in 1846. He was the author of numerous pamphlets and published discourses, among the most noted of which are his "Phi Beta Kappa oration," 1853, and his noted defen«e of the drama, 1857. During the war he was president of the United States sanitary commission.

The name of Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, appears on the reo rd as one of those interested in the Peruvian company. Mr. Blair has not decided whether he will make a public statement, but his friends expect it of him. He is supposed to have been a very active attorney for the company in Washington. ..

AS OTHER HOBBOB.

We have received the following dispatch, dated Calais, January 30tb, but as the locality of the place is not indicated, we ean only guess whether the Calais mentioned is in the State of Maine, France, or some other country, and onr readers must share in the same doubt: "CALAIS, Jan. 30.—Tbe reservoir bar .t here to-day, and the torrent destroyed tbe school house and two other baildings occupied at the time. Few of the inmates escaped. The number of lost is unknown. Up to the present twenlystven bodies have been recovered from the ruins."

Oh, that the United States had a vessel off the coast of England, with powder and ball enough to open a way for American citizens to come home. Here there was, in the nineteenth century, a big bully of a man trampling on a defenseless woman. If any member present were to see on the street a man trampling on a woman, even if he knew he would ba whipped, would he hesitate for a moment to take the ruffian by the throat? Great Britain was the brutal man who had the female, Ireland, by the throat and in the mud, and America lacked the manhood and hardihood to interfere. He ridiculed the actions of our foreign ministers, declaring that about their only business WBS in learning the tricks of monarchies and aristocrats, and bringing them home and inoculating our system with them, poisoning our blood with a political pyaimi*. "We are all gone, ongoing,"|he exclaimed^ "to the devil." [Laughter.] He referred to the conduct cf one of our foreign ministers, whom he declined to name, in riding down the streets of an European capital accompanied by the liveried lackey, and pictured the amazed aristocracy standing aghast at th« eight of the representative of a great Republic parading in such style and exclaiming "Look at those breeches and that jacket. They are utterly too-too." [Laughter. "If," he continued, "you get a Secretary of State, however good, involved in the meshes of the English aristocracy, with the eloquent tinkling of" goblets sparkling with untaxed champagne, with untaxed cigars from Cuba, amid the blaze and beauty of Washington society, where eyes sparkle brighter thaa diamonds, and where eigbs are sweeter than the breathing of imprisoned American citizens, what chance has some poor fellow who fought at Antietam, or was wounded at Gettysburg? What chance has he for justice with that tinkling^ of goblets and noceen»e and frivolity going on?" [Laughter.] In conclusion Mr. Robinson desired to offer a resolufjon (published some time ago) condemning the action of the United States Government in saluting the British flag at Yorktown, but Mr. Orth refused to yield for that purpose.

Tender Words for the Erring. Vincennes News (Dem). We don't want any Democrat to sav a word against D. W. Voorhees. He's got one wheel off the track, but it will get on again. The accident is the result of not knowing the track well. Some who traveled tbnt way, long and long ago, told him how it was, but tbey had forgotten, or^didn't know, and Dan! struck the bad rail unawares. But he will report O. K. presently. Trust him for that. And don't you call him any names. Just keep cool and wait, and if anybody tries to make believe he's going to keep jogging on with that wheel off until he derails all of 'em, don't you believe a word of it. To change the figure, the Tall Sycamore may bend, but it will never break. It has stood the test of tco many stormB to go toppling over the precipice now at the passing of a seductive zephyr.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., January 30.-—A big rise is reported from Caney Fork and Obed's river. A large amount of damage has been done along Caney Fork on account of its Eudden rise in consequence of the-water spout of last Friday night at its bead waters. It is a low estimate to Bay that half a million dollars in damage has been done by floods in TenBestee. The Tennessee river at Johnsonville is thirty inches higher than in 1875, and on a stand.

THAT NORFOLK MOMTSATION. ~, WABHUTOTON, Jan. 80.—The Republican says: Friday last the name of Wm. Nichols was sent to the Senate aa postmaster at Nofolk, Ya. The renominatioo of Nichols was not the intentional act of the President, nor was it known by the Postmaster General ot First Assistant. The President's attention being called to it he was greatly surprised, the nomination having been unwittingly signed by him with many Others. The Postmaster General and his First Assistant found that the clerk of the department had prepared the nomination without any authority and handed it in with the others he had been directed to makeout. The President at once directed the withdrawal of the nomination,- not because he had change his mind but beecuse it wps not his act, but only that of either a very sharp oi* very

WASHINGTON, January 30.—Congressmen from the Northwest declare the Cobb bill to forfeit to the Government all lands granted railways which have not complied with the terms of the grant is a scheme of the Union and Central Pacific railroads to cripple or destroy the Northern Pacific. Again it ie said the lands of the West are being settled so rapidly that many members of Congress think such as have not passed legitimately into the possession of the railroads should revert to the Government, and be opened to settlement. Members of Congress from the section of country that will be benefitted by the construction of tho Northern Pacific will strenuously oppose this bill, and all others calculated to interfere with the progress of that road. The lin# of action of the Senate will probably be to exempt from forfeiture the grants to railroad companies that have made a»y honest efforts towards construction, even though they may have failed to comply with all the terms of the grant.

He holds, it is said, that the southern portion of Dakota is entitled by reason of population and other considerations tq admission and that it isnotaqije=tionfor partisan consideration. Jucfge Dayis' vote combined with the Republican's would give the bill a majority in the Senate and as the Republican's control the House it would appear the measure has-a good prospect of becoming a law the present session.

has attracted considerable attention, hecause of the indirect criticism ugon the Republican party. After saying that the present tariff is not such as the people demand, and condemning a policy that would "strike out of existence one-half of the money of the world, that men holding securities might have abetter and strongEr grip upon the people who earn the money, and who psv the taxes in this country," he said: "Mr. President, I was educated in the Democratic party, and when it failed to represent my sentiments I had the courage to get ont of it, and I propose upon this question to represent myself, and hot allow the Republican party to be put in a position misrepresenting the wishes of tbe great people of the West and South/'

COMMITTEE NOTTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The House Committee on Indfsn Affairs referred the qnestion oi cit. Loolc & San Francisco Railroad's right ot way through Indian Territory to a sub committee to report upon it hereafter to the full committee.

The National Convict WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—In the Criminal Court District Attorney Corkhill applied to the court to fix a day for hearing the arguments upon the motion tor a new trial in the case of the United States against C. J. Guiteau, stating that tomorrow should be assigned.

Scoville called the attention ot the court to the fact that one of the affidavits in support of the motion had annexed to it a copy of the Evening Critic. The allegation was that during the progress of the trial the paper had been read by, or to the jury. It bore on the margin what purported to be the signatures of four jurors. The jurors denied that they saw any newspaper or put their names upon any newspaper during the time they were impanelled. This raised an issue of fact which was veiy important to be determined. It was not a matter that the court could determine on ex-parte affidavits. The jury admitted that during the time they were impannelled they gave their autographs to various persons and he thought it might be important that he should have an opportunity to cross-examine the men in that connection to determine whether the signatures upon the newspaper were genuine. The lull names of two of the jurors were on the paper.

The District Attorney said one of them is spelled wrong. Scoville—"All these things show the propriety ot something more than ex parte affidavits in this matter. I ask that the jurors be produced in the court or that the court appoint a commission to take depositions, and I be allowed to produce such further testimony as I think proper as to the genuineness of the handwriting." As to the argument for anew trial he thought he could be ready by the latter part of the week, aB all the questions he cared about taking up-were as to this newspaper and in respect to newly discovered evidence. The court therefore fixed Friday for the arguments.

The District Attorney said he didn't intend the jury should be put on trial. This newspaper was suspicious on its face. The gentleman who had filed the affidavit ana who had purloined the paper, had already been bound overfer forgery in the District. He (the District Attorney) would show the court that this was a clever attempt at forgery. He would not agree that the jury, who had done their duty so faithfully, should be put upon trial and the oath of such a man as that placcd against theirs.

The court stated tnat there was no such practice as appointing a commission on a question of this kind, but that it was within the discretion of the court to interrogate the parties making the affidavits and he thought he would exercise that discretion.

Scoville said he was perfectly willing the court should interrogate the affiants. When the District-Attorney came here and alleged fbrgery it became a serious matter.

Court suggested to the District-Attor-ney that it might be well to have the jury present Friday, and the matter went over for tho present.

COMPARED WITH THE GENUINE. John W. Guiteau says in reference to his knowledge of the Snyder affidavit th&t he has compared the names of the jurors written on the margin of the newspaper with their legitimate signatures written in his album, and finds the similarity such that it would warrant any one in making affidavit that he verily believes the writing on the paper was by the jurors. His sister also has an album with the signatures of the jury and others connected with the trial,

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Col. Corkhill says the signatures upon the newspsper alleged to have been found in the Guiteau jurors' room are clever forgeries by a professional forger. Scoville thinks the prosecution will not be able to convince the court.

TIRED OF WORK WITHOUT RAY. WASHINGTON, Janualy 30.—Scoville has issued a card to the American people, in which he says: "In the circumstances I don't feel called upon as matter of public interest alone to give an additional two month's time to a motion for anew trial for Gaiteau.(before the court in banc. If my my fellow citizens, few or many, think the interesU of justice, the cause of humanity, or the honor of the country require this contest to be prolonged and that no effort shonld be spared to secure a verdict and judgment a(ter_ passion shall have subsided in the public mind, let them manifest it by providing the means, and competent counsel will be secured at once. I ask nothing for myself, up to this time, but cannot give my own services hereafter without compensation. $2,COO is needed. Should a sufficient amount not be received, the piooey will be refunded, on request. Address, until February 4th, George Scoville, Washington, D. C.

Dastardly Murder.

ST. LOUTS, Jan. 30.—Word was received at the police headquarters very late last night that Mrs. Dorris, wife of General Dorris, formerly a prominent citizen of this city, was found dead this morniBg at her residence about four miles out in the country. A grandson named Rnssell Brown has been arrested on suspicion of having murdered the old lady and it is sbid the circumstances point pretty strongiy to him as the perpetrator of the deed.

LATER.

It appears that the murder of old Mrs. Dorris, very brief announcement of which was made last night, was committed Saturday night, and seems to have been the result of & regularly planned robbery and not a deliberated design to kill the old lady. Russell Brown, her grandson, who was arrested last nignt, confessed at a late hour and stated in Drief that he and ft companion, who is supposed to be Pftitrick McGlew, a barkeeper, drove nut to his grandmother's house aitoateu on Bang'sHighway about four miles from the city Saturday evening. Here young Brown had some words with his mother who lived with Mrs. Dorris, she chiding him for his dissolute course of life, and Jie went away. Later

kin

the night, however, after the family

]B3k

had retired, he and his pal returned to the house and went to the room occupied by him when he visited the place. Brown then went to his grandmother's room and told her his uncle Tom was sick in his (Brown's) room and wanted her aid. The old lady, who was seventy years oi age and feeble, rose and went to the room where she was seized by Brown and his companions and her diamond rings forciblylstripped from her fingers by McGlew, while Bown choked her to keep her from crying out. During the struggle Mrs. Davis became unconscious and was placed on the bed by the robbers, whe thai went to the ola ladv's room, took her gold watch from under the pillow of her bed, and left the house without disturbing the rest of the family, jumped onto their buggy, drove on. In the morning Mis. Dorris was found dead with several scratches and bruises on her neck and the Bkin scraped from the fingers on which she wore the rings. The coroner was notified, and during the day viewed tbe remains and gave a certificate of death from natural causes, and it was not until late last night that the police learned the true state of the case and took hold of the matter. They then arrested Brown but McGlew is still at large. His capture is believed to be certain, however. Mrs. Dorris was the wife of Gen. George P. Dorris, formerly a welt known and wealthy citizen of St. Louis, and young Brown is a son of a prominent lawyer and tbe prosecuting attorney of St. Louis county. The affair has created a great deal of comment on account of the position of the parties concerned.
