The number of army lieutenants and captains making application for appointment as quartermaster or paymaster leads to the belief that all the line officers in the service have taken a sudden notion that they want to be appointed to soft berths, and that they area set of kid-gloved gentlemen.

Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, is receiving many telegrams of congratulation over the success of his anti-polygamy bill. One from Schuyler Colfax reads as follows: "You hit the polygamy nail on the head this time. Hammer it in." That about expresses the sentiment of the country.

Mrs. Isaac Vogelgesang, of Canton, Ohio, aged about seventy years, died on Tuesday night afte rhaving fasted fifty-one days.

A jealous youth of Columbus, Ohio, followed his sweetheart home from a party the other evening, and varied tbe monotony of his walk by firiDg five shots at her, fortunately missing each time. He is now in jail contemplating what defense he had better make to the charge of attempted murder. The girl's father, who is sheriff, will probably render him all the assistance in his power.

The civil service reform association, of New York, some time ago. collected all the evidence they could against Special Agent N. M. Curtis, of the custom house, for levying political assessments against those under control, and forwarded it to Secretary Folger, who has turned It over to District Attorney Woodford with instructions to have Curtis indicted and prosecuted, in addition to which he has been removed from his position. During the last campaign Gen. Curtis was treasurer of the republican state committee.

Congressman Peelle, of this state, has three bills before congress, which, if now laws, wonld relieve the house calendar of more than 2,000 bills. One allows the postmaster general to settle cases where money order funds and various kinds of postage stamps are stolen from postmasters, where the sum does not exceed $2,000. Another authorizes the secretary of war to investigate caws where applications are made to have the charge of desertion removed and to act finally in the matter. The third is designed to throw private legislation- out of congress it provides for a pensions court composed of three persons, nominated by the president, to sit three or four months each year preceding the meeting of congress, investigate all claims for pensions which wonld otherwise come before congress, and re-

CAX505 IK A CORNER.

The more the would-be congressional delegate Cannon undertakes to defend poygamy the worse becomes his case. His last attempt was to defeat the Sballenb^rger bill, tfce passage of which would prevent all polygamists from voting or holding office. Cannon requested tbe jadiciary committee to delay action on the bill until he could be heard. Wednesday was the time set for him to put in an appearance, and when tbe committee met he was on band, but when he had finished he certainly wished he had re mained away. The exhibition furnished by him is said to have been the moBt re msrkable in the history of congressional committees. Questions were fired at him with rapidity, snd some of his replies were of such a nature as to be wholly onfit for publication. He had the effronUy to say that no womsn could secure exhaltation in heaven unless nnited in marriage to a latter day saint of the Mormon church on earth that there are many cases where young married couples are opposed to polygamy, sometimes because the first wife objected and sometimes because the husband did not feel himself equal to the pecuniary support of two wives that he believed the general tendency of the present outcry was to solidify the sentiment in Uteh in favor of polygamy, as it is believed to be a revelation from God, and closed by frankly avowing such to be his opinion, and that eventually the principles of the Mormon church would spread over the whole earth, because they are true.

In describing the practice of the Mormons Mr. Cannon furnished some valuable information of a nature very unfavorable to his cause, but when he undertook to defend them he made a remarkable display of ignorance. Here is a fpscimen:

Mr. Robinson, of Massachusetts, asked whether, fornication, adultery, or even incest was a crime under the laws passed by the Mormon legislature of Utah?

Mr. Cannon hesitated, stammered, and finally said he did not know. Mr. Robinson—Is It not a fact that your legis lature has wiped out all these offenses from its criminal calendar?

Mr. Cannon—I don't exactly remember. You must bear in mind that Utah is in this peculiar position in regard to legislation, that all acta are subject to the absolute veto of the governor.

Mr. Robinson—Has your legislature ever passed a bill and submitted it to the governor for approval, making fornication, or adultery, or incest a crime?

Mr. Cannon—I don't remember. I can't say that they have. Such a want of knowledge on affairs concerning the constituency that he essays to represent is certainly no recommendation to congress to give him a seat. Thus far Mr. Cannon has really made no attempt to defend his sect, simply contenting himself with (he assertion that it is a divine institution with which congress and the courts liave no right to interfere. His defense, so called, consists mainly of an attack on the vices which are to be

the vices enumerated by him are classed as crimes, and as such, are punishable by law. His argument was of a "you're another" sort and refuted itself so completely that it required no reply. The Guiteau trial surfeited the country with the divinity theory, and none of it is wanted in the Mormon case. If it is wrong for a man to have more than one wife in Indiana it is also wrong that a man ebould have more than one wife in Ui&b, and both ebould be punished alike. It ia a question of lust, not religion, wilh which congress is called upon to deal, and the line of duty is plain. There has been too much delay already. The country demands that the blur upon civilization be blotted out, and it should be done at oncc.

A correspondent writes to tho Express advocating tho expenditure of one, two or thiee thousand dollars as a contingent fund- to be used in employing detectives to bring to justice the burglare who are working Terre Haute.

This is foolishness. The city is paying over 81,700 each month to a police force to protect them. If the force, from any cause, is unable to do this let it resign in a body and be superceded by a fct of men who can. The democratic police force, little over half as large as the present Republican one is, never dreamed of asking such assistance, and yet it was able to catch and convict burglars as fast as they appeared here.—rGazette.

Tbe above Is about as cheap a piece of demogogy as we have seen lately. An examination of the records of the criminal court", will show that the number of convictions since the present force was appointed far exceeds that under democratic rule. As to the expense of sustaining the force, if the Gazette will examine the city records it will find that some months the democratic pay roll came very near the figures quoted above. It is true the democrats went into power with a force of twenty-one men, and it is equally true that it went out of power with a force of twenty-seven men, while the present force consists of thirty-one men, much less than twice tbe number of their predecessors. There are eight districts in the city, with two men to each district. Tbe districts are very large and the men cannot be everywhere at once. They have made number of arrests for burglary and have succeeded in convicting several. Two who were arrested have thus far managed to escape punishment, but it has been no fault ot the police. Whenever they will be put upon trial they will be convicted. It Beem9 to us that a word of encouragement at the present time would be iu better taste than misstatements. If we mistake not, it is not very long ago since a democratic police board had in its employ for several months a special dfetictive to discover incendiaries and no howl was made about it by the republicans, but then an election is near at hand

An applicant for admission to the Ohio bar, who was undergoing an examination by the supreme court judges, was asked what law books he had read, replied Shakespeare's commentaries. His answer to the queetion, "What is libel?" was "Something which a man says and afterward wishes to G—d he hadn't." He wasn't admitted.

Broke Jail.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Febrnary 9.—Jim Stevens, confined in jail at Monticello for killing E. W. Files, made hia escape on Monday night, by sawing out of the iron csge and letting himself down from the second-story window with a blanket. The Governor has issued a proclamation offering a reward of $250 for the murderer's capture. •, ..

SHERMAN AND THE CONTINGENT FUND. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Ex-Custodian Pitney, of the Treasury, has revived interest in the contingent fund investigation by adding something to his former testimony. Pitney asked to be recalled, and when he appeared, be stated that he had been informed that Upton and_Lamphere had contradicted his testimony with regard to employes of the Treasury having done work for Secretary Sherman, for which they were paid out of the contingent fund. He asked that that portion of the testimony of Uptcn and Lamphere rtfer.ing to his evidence be read to him. This was done it showed that Pitney had been correctly informed and that Upten and Lamphere had contradicted him. and had testified positively that no employe of the Treasury had ever been paid out of the contingent fund for work done for Sherman. Pitney then reaffirmed his testimony, that they had done such work, and had been paid for it out of that fund, and said he was prepared to prove it, and also to prove tkat Secretary Sherman and JV,rs. Sherman knew that this work was so paid for.

Senator Hale sprang to his feet, and with some show of indignation asked: ''How dare you charge that Mrs. Sherman knew this-?"

Pitney replied: "Because I received notes from her asking me to send men to do certain work on different, occasions, and I have the notes here now."

He then produced certain notes purporting to have been written by Mrs. Sherman, and requesting that workmen be sent to the Secretary's residence. Pitney added that he had received notes of the same kind from Secretary Sherman,

Some of the leading stalwarts have quietly taken a great deal of interest in this investigation, and great pressure was brought to bear on Senator Logan to persuade him to bring out all the_ testimony calculated to embarrass and injure Senator Sherman. LogaD, however, resided this pressurp, on the ground that his personal relations with Sherman had not been very pleasant and agreeable that it was not knowo they were not friends, and he did not want to do anything that would give color to the charge that he was actuated by personal motives.

SENATOR BROWN, OF GEORGIA. WASHINGTON, February 9.—Senator Harris moved, te-day, to take up the resolution to elect Neil S. Brown, a Democrat, acting Chief Clerk,!but it was defeated by the vote

found in all communities, forgetting that entered into details with regard to this

work, and maintained that he could prove by the books and records of the -Treasury that the work was paid for out of the contingent fund. The committee finally decidtd to call Upton and Lamphere and confront them with Pitney also to have the books and records of the contingent expenditures present for examination in connection with the testimony.

Senator Brown, of Geor

gia Davis, of Illinois, voting for it. The Democrats are very much incensed at Brown, because of his vote, and say he is endeavoring to get in his reputation once more as a non-partisan, in order to obtain certain Federal appointments be wants. Senator Brown has been quite active in seeking Federal appointments for Georgia, but the President has not been inclined to grant his requests. Now, so say some Democrat?, Brown is endeavoring to shape his course eo as to make it appear that he is not averse to independent politics, in the hope that that may commend him to the President. Another explanation of bis vote, offered by his critics, is that he has an idea that a great independent movement ia developing, which will carry the country in 1884, and that he wants to join it. He has not offered any explanation himself.

A QUESTION OF RIGHT

The Ways and Means Committee, this morning, discussed the question as to whether the Senate has the right to originate a funding bill, and finally the matter was referred to a sub-committee, of which Kelly is chairman, and Randall is a member, The tenor of the discussion indicated the sentiment of tbe committee to be that the Senate has no such right. If the sub committee decides againat the right of the Senate to originate such a biTl, then the Ways and Means.Committee will proceed to frame a new funding bill, ignoring Sherman's bill entirely.

WATMOUGH.

The President will be officially advised to-day of the action of the Senate Commitmittee on Naval Affairs in adopting an adverse report upon the nomination of J. H. Watmough to be Paymaster General of the Navy. The committee investigated the charges against Watmough, and agreed eubstantiallylhat the evidence went to show that he had bought and sold supplies for-the Navy contrary to law, and that he stipulated that the transactions should be kept secret In view of the fact that the

COD

elusion of the com

mittee is that Watmough is an unfit man for the position—that his past record is not clean—it is believed that the President will withdraw the nomination.

A STAB ROUTE RUMOB.

WASHINGTON, February 9.—A rumor prevails about the Court House, and is given considerable credence, that tbe Grand Jury has voted upon one of tbe Star Route eases which it has been considering, and has ^directed the presentment for indictment of J.

These complaints have been referred to the District Attorney, New York, for such-action as he may deem proper. General Curtis was treasurer of the Republican campaign committee, at tbe last election in New York,

THE FIVE PEB CENT CLAIM. WASHINGTON, February 9.—The bill reported in the Hou-e to-day to adjust tbe five per cent claim of the States upon the sales of public lands, directs the Secretary of the Interior to ascertain the amount of public lands entered by location, military scrip and land warrants in the various States (including Virginia military and United States military land warrants located in the State of Ohio after her admission into the Union), whosfc enabling acts of admission into the Union contain stipulations for the payment of 5 per centum on the salea ot public lands therein, and provides that it shall be tbe duty of the Secretary cf the Treasury to pay to such States 5 per centum on the amount of lands so located, estimating their value at $1.25 per acre lands upon which 5 per centum has been paid are excluded.

THE LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

Also, one near Grand Morris, Lake Superior. Keepers are to be paid not exceeding $800 yearly, and members of the crews disabled, and widows and orphans, are to be paid the full salary for two years.

Embarrassed.

THE "LONS3" VEBY SHORT AT ST. LOUIS. ST. LOUIS, February 9.—The commission house of Harlow, Spencer & Co., suspended to-day. They were carrying a large amount of wheat for customers, and had put up some $50,000 in Margins for them, which had not been reimbursed, and the break of yesterday and to-day compelled them to suspend temporarily. They say their aesets will more than pay liabilities, and they will resume again in a few days, paying dollar for dollar. A. T. Harlow, founder of the firm, withdrew from the house a few months ago, on account of poor health, and is now in New Mexico recuperating.

ST. LOUIS, February 9.—At a meeting of friends and creditors at the office of the firm this evening, the latter proposed to settle their debts at the prices which ruled at the noon call. This has been, or no doubt will be, accepted, and the house will continue business.

Later this afternoon the firm of Slayback, Smith & Co., of which Charles E. Slay back, President of the .Merchants' Exchange, iB the head, were reported to be in trouble, and inquiry developed the fact that the house, which was largely "long" on wheat, had been called for $21,000 margins, which they could not meet at once, and fears weie felt that they would be obliged to suspend. It was aleo stated that some of their paper in bank was unpaid. iTriends rallied around them, however, this evening, and agreed to furnish funds to meet all demands, and the firm will not suspend.

J. Schreiner & Co., a small concern that failed some time ago, and settled satisfactorily, also succumbed to the pressure for margins, and suspended. This firm will not resume, but the loss by their failure will not be large.

Rumors are rife that two or three other houses are crippled, but the above are all about which anything of a definite nature is known.

The feeling on 'Change to-day was one of great anxiety and uneasineas, and tomorrow iB looked for with a great deal of dread, particularly by the "long?," who have reason to think the tumble in wheat will continue. The decline in wheat since the close on Tuesday has been life for March, life for April, and 13 jc for May. In corn, 4Jc for March, 4§c for April and 6$c for May. The profits accruing to the shorts by this drop, and there are said to be but very few of them, are quite l$rge, one firm being credited with a quarter of a million dollars and two or thrfee individuals, one of them a prominent miller, are believed to have made $100,000 each. Cotlon has also declined sharply, and those on the "bull" side of the staple are gloomy and depressed, while the "bears" are correspondingly exultant. There were damaging rumora about a heavy cotton firm thia afternoon, but they proved to be unfounded. The decline in future cotton since Monday has been from 70 to 80 points, but spots have fallen, in this market at least, enly ic.

OTHER TROUBLES.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—WM. R. Preston & Company, operators in grain and cotton, and long in both articles, -are reported suspended.

NEW OBLEAJK, Ifcbruary 9.—Ben Gereon & Son, eotton factors, suspended. The firm proposes to pay in full in one and two years, with interest. The creditors consent to the extension and the firm will probably resnme,

MEMPHIS, February 9.—Hesch, wholesale and retail cigar dealer, assigned today. Liabilities, $8,500 assets about §12,000.

Explosion In a Brewery. ST. LOUTS, February 9.—A report has just come up from the lower pari of the city that an explosion occurred in the brewery of William J. Lsmp to-day, and that one man was killed and seven wounded. No particulars yet.

Another Newark Rascal. NEWARK, N. J, Febrnary 9,—Joseph P. Hayne, a well known broker, was arreeted to-day, charged with aiding and abetting the corresponding clerk in the Mechanic's National Bank in defrauding the institution. •ii!

GREAT BBITAIN.

LONDON, Febrnary 9.—In the Commons Marriott, Liberal, announced that he would move an amendment to the proposed Parliamentary rules, providing that no rules shall be satisfactory which will enable a bare majority to close the debate.

Smyth, Home Ruler, sought to withdraw "his amendment. to the address, in favor of repeal of the union. The Irish members objected.

Gladstone declared that the amendment would be impracticable as long as the Irish members were unable to define clearly where local affairs end and Imperial begin.

Plunkett, Conservative, of Dublin, protested that this was an intimation to the Irish members to reopen the Home Rule agitation.

The ar&endment was rejected—93 to 37. Sir Charle? Dilke, Under Foreign Secretary, in reply to a question, said he had not received a copy of the treaty between Persia and Russia, but the new frontier fell a long way short of Serakhs. He said it was inconvenient to ttate what steps the Government intends to take, but the matter WM the subject of diplomatic communication.

Gladstone, replying to the member for Dewsbury, said tbe outrages perpetrated on the Jews in Russia must fill every one with the utmost horror. The question was an internal one, and the British Government could only, when a fit occasion arose, intercede in a friendly manner.

Fcrster, speaking upoil the amendment proposed by Justin McCarthy to the address in reply to the Queen's speech, said ihe Government had tried the effect of releasing imprisoned suspectB. He referred particularly to the release of Father Sheehy, and asked what had been the result. He contended that, public sentiment in America favored the policy of the British Government, but said the no-rent movement had received its chief support from that conntry. He said fair rent, according to Parnell, practically amounted to no rent at all. Forster quoted the Chicago Convention telegrams as*proving this, and referred to. the speech recently delivered by Healey, at New Orleans. Farmers, he said, had discovered that the Land League's promises were unreliable. Notwithstanding the signs of improvement, the Government, he said, would not relax their vigilance. Forster spoke two hours and a half, and at th9 conclusion of his speech the debate was adjourned.

LONDON, Feb. 9.—Lord Granville, in a dispatch of January 7th to Minister West, iu reference to the Clayton Bulwer treaty controversy, denies any analogy between the cases of the Panama and Suez canals. He cordially concurs in Blaine's statement in regard to the unexampled development of the Pacific coast, but denies that it was unexpected. He says the declarations of President Monroe anterior to the treaty show that he and his Cabinet .d a clear prevision of the great future of that region. The development of tbe interests of the British possessions also continued through possibly less rapidly. The Government are of the opinion that the canal, as a waterway between two great oceam and Europe and Eastern Asia, is a work which concerns not only the American continent, but the whole civilized world. With all deference to the considerations which prompted Blaine, he cannot believe that his proposals will be even ^beneficial in themselves. He can conceive no more melancholy spectacle than competition between the nations in the construction of fortifications to command the canal. He cannot believe any South American State would like to admit a foreign power to erect fortifications, on its territory, when the claimto do so is accompanied by the declaration that the canal is to be regarded as part of the American coast line. It io difficult to believe, he says, that the territory between it and the United States could retain its present independence. Lord Granville believes that an invitation to all the maritime States to participate in an agreement based on the stipulation of the convention of 1850 would make the convention adequate for the purposes for which it waa designed. Her Majesty's Government would gladly eee tbe United States take the initiative toward such a convention, and will be prepared to endorse and support such action in any way, provided it does not conflict with the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty.

Lord Granville, in a subsequent dispatch, draws attention to the fact that Blaine, in using the argument that the treaty had been a source of continued difficulties, omits to state that the question in dispute, which related^ to points occupied by tbe British in Central America, were settled in i860 by the voluntary action of Great Britain in certain treaties concluded with Honduras and Nicaragua, the settlement being recognized as perfectly satisfactory by President Buchanan. Lord Granville says further, that during the controversy, America disclaimed any desire to have exclusive control of the oanal.

set master in the advertising craft, the manager of the Ambigu Theater at Paris has contrived "frem the nettle danger to pluck the flower safety." All is fish, obviously, that comes to this wily impresario's net in the way of sensational incident. He has, by the text of an advertisement with wbich he has recently placarded the French Capital, proved his ability to utilise even so terrible a theatrical catastrophe as that of Vienna for tb« laudable purpose of filling his own honse. It should be stated that "Le Petit Jacob," a melodrama of the fine old heart-rending class, is at present having a great "run7' at the Ambigu. Tbe advertisement in question, after calling uttention to that fact in somewhat hyperbolical terms, proceeds as follows, suddenly xdopting a familiar colloquial style: "Do you know why a conflagration of the Vienna sort ia less to be apprehended in the Ambigu than in any other Parisian theatre?" "Yes, I do. It is because the floods of tears shed beire every evening could not possibly fail to pnt ont any firs before it had time to spread I" 'Tis not in mortals to command success but the manager of the Ambiga at least does his level best to deserve it
