The Weekly Express i3 enjoyirsr a boom. Yesterday'u WSE a model number, and took like bet c»ke?.

The fihiphwd investigation will cost ihe country about 510,000. a very large anm to pay for nothing.

Remember tha republican ward meetings to-morrow night, called for the purpose of nominating candidates for Council.

The a?sasein wiil bave to 1

Consul George E. Bullock, of this state, who has for four years represented this country at ColognP, has been changed to Anaaberg, with a rednc'ton in salary from $2,000 to $1,000. It is thought he will return home.

There are 45,444 poatoffices in ths United States. Just imagine how the president enjoys listening to all the candidates for appointment*, and how easy a matter it ia for hiin to select tbe right man in every instance.

Assistant Secretary New denies the rumors oi numerous changes in the trsasury department in the near future. Tbe report doubtless revived hope in tbe breaBts of the disappointed place hunters, and caused afresh raid on the capital.

An innocent man was huoe by a Kanpas City mob the other day, because it was believed he had killed a popular policeman. It must bs consoling to the friends and relatives of the deceased to know th,^t the guilty party has since been caught.

Oa Wednesday 3,000 immigrant* landed at Castle Garden, and the steamships City of Rome, City cf Richmond and City of Brussels are on the way with 5,000 more, the former carrying 2,000 of the number. The New York agent of (he Inman lino predicts 1,000,000 arrivals thia year.

That staunch bourbon organ, the Atlanta Constitution, sayf: "If the democratic party is to center around Bamum and Rosecrans, some one may as well advertise for a funeral orator, with a brass band accompaniment." 7f Col. Rogers ia out of a job he could sing for them ''A hundred years ago."

Ex-Mayor Kimmel, of Lafayette, was so certain that he would be one of the special treasury agents for Alaska that he had jpaade arrangements for his departure, was sent to the senate for the position. His friendB are now urging him for some other position of equal importance.

The Express is in receipt of the "Register of the commissioned, warrant and volunteer officers cf the U. S. Navy, including officers of the Marine corps and others, to Jan. 1, 1882." Also changes lo April 1, 1882. There is also a list of navy-yards and shore-stations. The book ia valuable a3 a record and for reference.

Shipherd complains that his testimony has not been correctly reported by the official reporter, and advised the commit* tee to revise it from the Associated Press reports. As the press reporter was [removed by Speaker Keifet to make a place for the man complained of it would eeem as though the change was ill considered and entirely out cf place.

A proposition has been made to managers of telephone companies throughout the state to connect each county eeat in the state with the towns and villages in their respective counties by toll lines, the object being tbe ultimate connection of all the county seats with one another. As the proposed schsme has difficulties to encounter, arising from iaduction, it cannot take practical shape until they are overcome.

The postoffice committee of the house is still undecided as to the proposed reduction of the poetage from three to two cents per half ounce. It is waiting to bear public sentiment on the subject before taking action. Public sentiment will pretty generally favor it. Experience has taught that reductions in postage rates have always been followed by increased revenues to that branch of the service.

Upon bearing of the death of Emile de Girardin, Yictcr Hugo was led to exclaim: "All the men of that strong generation of 1830 are paseing away, one after another. My time will perhaps come soon. I am ready. We mad make room for other®. It is time for me to cease to fi'l the world." His spirit of resignation is great, and his extreme modesty will commend itself to every one who reads the above paragraph.

We have received from the Treasury department the "Annual Report oi the operations of the U. S. Life-saving Service for the fiscal year ending June 30,1S81." It includes the expenditures of moneys and a compilation of etatir'tics of wrecks and casualties which have occurred on or near the coasts aad on the rivers of the United States, and to American vessels at sea or on the coasts of foreign countries. The work is of great interest to tbe gen' eral reader, and illustrates the value of this branch of the public service.

Abram S. Hewitt is believed to be play ing a little game in New York. Appar ently he wants Tilden nominated for gov. ernor, but as he is well aware that the old gentleman has arrived at an age which renders him unfit to discharge the duties ol that or any other office, there is a lurking suspicion that he would like to assume Tilden's mantle and make the race himself, with an eye on the presidency two yeerj her.ee. Hewitt is a shrewd politician, but his g&ti wont work in this particular instance.

THE LOTTERY FBATJD.

In all portions of the state the press ia bitterly denouncing the Vincennea lottery frauds l! ia only a few weeks since the institution was put in operation, but in that fhcit ?pace of time it has succeeded in gaining a foot-hold which bids fair to continue through all coming time. In Isdianapolis it operates fourteen policy

to which flock all classes, creeds and color? of men and boys who caii commaud the requisite amount with which to fn^st. In Efansville the matter ia equally bed. The daily receipts *in that city are said lo average $1,-500. It is a difficult matter to realize the existence of such a slate of affairs, and it is exasperating to think how long it may continue. It is still worse to know that it is run in tbe interest of an institution of learning. It must be a consoling

j8

It is estimated that of the southern claims presented to congress, for property taken by the Union forces during the late war, ninety per cent, are attempts to rob tho government. A case in point has just been decided by the committee. John O«born, of Rapides Parish, Louisiana, demands $67,000 for the loss of 500 hogsheads of sugar, fifty mules, 300 barrels corn, four horses, fifty head of beef cattle and seventy-five acres of standing corn.

An investigation shows that at the time claimed he had only a few hogsheads of sugar, and these he had run into the Confederate linen to keep them from the Union soldiers. J. Madison Wells was one of the witnesses, and the committee disposes of him thus: "J. Madison Wells is one of the witnesses produced and relied on by claimant to prove his claim. Tbe witness appears to have had the means cf knowing what property claimant had and the extent of his loss. He resided in the same parish, and was frequently on his plantation. He is evidently a zealous friend of claimant. Wells evidently was conscious of the fraud." Firstly, the committee say: "This claim illustrates the boldness and brazen impudence with which fraudulent and villainous claims are sometimes pressed against the government. The evidence utterly fails to support it, and the exhibits and evidence of the government stamp It as b^ssly fraudulent.

There have always been men in all parties who never attend a convention, but invariably growl because their favorites have not been nominated. It is to be regretted that voters will of.'eu remain away, and by so doing permit a poor iicket to ba nominated. The democrats will put their men in the field to-night, and by to-morrow evening the republicans can select their strongest men and nominate them. The democrats express confidence in theii ability to gain control of the city again this spring, and will, no doubt, make a strong effort to do so. As the republicans have clear majorities in five out ol the six wards it would be a stinging defeat should the democrats prove successful. The republicans must work and win. Another democratic defeat in tfeis city like that of two weeks ago will drive the democrats to the wall and insure their defeat in November.

In another column will be found a resolution adopted by the Ladies' Aid Society, at a meeting held yesterday, endors ing the woik proposed by the Society for Organizing Charity. It shows that tbe Ladies'* Aid Society recognizes the importance of the new organization, and appre dates the fact that it will render valuable assistance in the work of aiding the needy tfho are deserving of it. The faot that both societies are in sympathy with each other, and will woik together ia harmony, is certainly encouraging and bodes sue-

To-morrow night will occur the repub lic«n ward conventions. There seems to be a scarcity of candidates, not through any fear of a failure of success, but be cause men who have once eocountered the grand army of office hunters do not care to go through the same experience again, as the republicans will have toj do this spriog. The beet selections should be mad* from the most available men. We want a council like the present one, com posed of good and reliable business men, and if republicans will turn out to-morrow night and nominate such a ticket it will be elected.

citizens a r»ce of gamblers in order that a so-called institution of learning may de rive some pecuniary benefit from it. It is true the Vincennes University does not run these olicy shop3 itself. It would be ashamed to do it, but it sells the right to some enterprising firm that has for its sole object gain, and that, too, for the longest possible period of time. It 13 truj the law provides that the lot' tery shall be discontinued as soon as the uoiversity(?) has derived from it a certain sum, bat no on# proposes to think seriously for a moment that that portion of the law will ever he complied with. The slate takes no official notice of it, and it is perfectly willing that such should be the case. When reports are made of the receipts and expenditures it will be jund that the profits are very small, and that the total sum to be realized wilt not be forthcoming for many yeirs to com?. At the rate its patrons have been contributing the amount has been collected balore this time, but only a small portion of it has reached the venerable city of Vincennes, whose citizens in their ancient innocence know not how to protect themselves. The scheme is yet in its infancy, but it displays a vigor equal to that of developed manhood. Its beginnings have been of such magnitude that its suppression is imperatively demanded. It is a disgrace to the state, and as such should be wipsd out. People who engage in gambling of any other description are liable to heavy penalties for it, and there is no reason why the Vincennes lottery should be made a solitary exception to a good and well established rule.

COUNCIL 50MISATI05S.

To-morrow evening the republicans of Terre Haute meet in their reepfctive wards to nominate candidates for tbe Conncil. The official call will be found elsewhere. It ia hopsd that there will be a large attendance, and that the best men who can be found will be nominated. There is no gcod reason why all the wards may not elect republicans. Although only two will be necessary to constitute a republican majority in the next council, members of the party should not be satisfied with less than enough to secure the control of tb« council of 1883 4. In order to iwure this, the nominees should be not only wise and discreet but popular. Let us have large meetings and strong nominations.

He opposed tbe Chinese bill and gave his reasons in his usual clear ard forcible manner. He ba«d hia opposition upon tbe high ground of principle, inasmuch as the bill proposed caste legislation, and vio lated the treaty made with tUe Chineee, General Browne is one of the clearest thinkers in CoDgress, and has a remarkable command of language and facility of expression. Moreover he is very independent in his view?, and speaka his mind freely upon public matters regardless of the question of popularity. .The speech referred to has attracted general attention and much favorable comment.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—The Shipherd examination was resumed this morning and Belmont announced that he would not now press the question which Shipherd refused to answer in regard to the Peruvian company. Witness said he and Senator Blair may not have had reason to be satisfied with Blaine's instructions to Hurlbut, but their impression was that they had.

Witness was asked to what extent tbe matter of an offer of $250,000 which he made to Huilbut was discussed in the presence of the Secretary and replied "At an interview, on October 13th some reference was made to my letter of June 2d and mention made of a proposition that had been made to Hurlbut by the Credit Industrie!, and Senator Blair remarked 'Why, Hurlbut had rather have $10,000 in hand than your offer of $250,000 in stock that he would have to pay for.' Some one made the suggestion that $10,000 in cash might have been offered by the Credit Industriel, and this led to a repetition of the text of my letter. In fact the Secretary himself called for the text and I read it to him. He listened attentively, and quoting the phrase 'so far as it may be proper,' he (the Secre tary) said, 'That is a sort of spiggot,' then laughingly added 'WeU, that won't make* much Impression on Steve.' Witness admitted that the secretary always spoke with as great dignity as become his high office that he never committed himself in words. When he (Shipherd) came away and thought over seriously the drift of his several interviews he was always profoundly impressed with the belief that the secretary was in accord with their wishes.

Witness was asked in regard to an auto by General Grant of the prepared Md expected 'toas£ to send to Hurlbut, and replied that he would produce it if required by the com mitte. It was, however, among his papers in New York and he could not produce it without going to New York in person.

The matter wa3 laid over for the present. Belmont—You speak in one of your let ters of an interview with the President which was brought about through a let' ter of introduction which General Grant gave you. Have you a copy of that letter of introduction?

Answer—I h?Ve. Witness questioned the propriety of producing it, but would, however, do so as soon as he could obtain it.

Belmont then propounded several ques tions with a view to discovering who were the parties interested in the Peruvian company, that he (Shipherd) had alluded to as "the friends of General Grant and of the Executive."

Witness evaded a direct answer, but finally said, "My opinion is, at that time there were gentlemen interested with us who were personal friends ot the Garfield administration, and there were others who were friends of General Grant and President Arthur." Witness declined to state who the persons were. Witness was then asked, "Will you producc a list of the stock holders of the Peruvian Cot"

Answer, "No, sir, under no circumstances." Witness declared that Blaine was not aware who these parties were and that he he sim'^'y discussed the claim upon its merits. Senator Blair never had a complete list of stock holders.

Witness made a long statemeut which was mainly a recital of his (Shipherd's) impression, from what was said or not said at his several investigations with the Secretary of State, the aggregate result of which was to assure him (Shipherd) that the Secretary was in sympathy with the Peruvian Company. Alluding to a conversation in which reference was made to dispatchs, and witness had expressed the opinion that they might have been worded differently, Shipherd detailed at some length the remarks of the Secretary to the effect that a good diplomat did not depend so much upon the body of a dispatch, sometimes, as he did to the marginal that the dispatches when published would read one way when in reality they mean to a diplomat just the reverse. Witness continued, "I saw the point sometime afterward when relating the conversation to a friend and he said,'Did the Secretary say that?' Ireplied that he did and he exclaimed, 'Well then, we've got him, for I saw and held in my hand a despatch te Hurlbut upon the margin of which was penciled, 'Go in Steve'' Witness continued, "My explanation of the Secretary's change is that about the 3rd of December he saw that he could not much longer remain in the cabinet, and fearing that what had passed between him and Senator Blair and myself would become public, he made np his mind to finish me beforehand and to put upon record in tne State Department a letter which would indicate he always knew he (Shipherd) was a fraud and that the Peruvian company was a bubble and a swindle." ''Therefore I say," added the witness, with much feeling, "I regard that letter of December 3d just as deliberate an attempt to assassinate a man's character and destroy a great interest as ever was known in history."

Belmont—Who was the friend of yours wh« saw the maginal note "Go in Sieve." Answer—It was Wm. Henry Hurlbut, editor of the New York World.

In answer to a question the witness said "nothing ever came to me that suggested even that the secretary expected to use this claim personally, or in any conceivable way to promote his personal or pecuniary interests."

Adjourned. Shipherd's testimony this morniog, to the effect that the State Department dispatch which at tbe time it was written was regarded as a censure of Minister Hurlbut. had written on tbe margin the words, Go in, Steve," hsB created more of .a sensation than anythingy«tdivulged

by Shipherd. Tbe investigation had begun to flag very mucb, but this has revived the interest in Sbipherd's parnose was to make it appear that Secretary

Blaine wrote these words oa the margin of his dispatch. Hurlbut, editor of the New York World, is said to be called before the committee, and Blaine also. Of course there is a wide difference of opinion as to Shipherd's testimony. Some even of the committee do not give it much credit, while others maintain that there is much truth in it, and that hia developments will be sustained.

AN EXPLANATION.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—As there seems to te a general misunderstanding as lo the action of tbe Republican Nation committee on the general call for the next National convention, Marshall Jewell, chairman of the committee, now in Washington, authorizes the following statement:

At the Republican National convention In June, i880f a resolution 1V« nnshitnouily adopted, directing the committee to prescribe within the next twelve months from that time, a method or methods for the election of delegates to the National oonventlbb to be held in .831. to announce the same to tbe country, ana to issue a call in conformity therewith, provided that-such methods or rales shall include and secure to the teveral Congressional districts the right to elect their own delegates to the National convention.

At a meeting of the committee on the 1st ol July, 1880, a request was publicly made for transmission to the committee of plans and suggestions on this fubject from any period prior to February 1st, 1881. A full m» tine of the National committee was held in Washington in March, 1881. to consider thii subject. At that meeting a committee, consisting of William E. Cbandler, George C. tiorham and Edward Mcpherson, made a report on the question. The majoritv report represented the views of hand' ler and "McPherson. tbe minority the views of Gorham. Both plans were tally discussed at that meeting, the discussion chiefly taming upon the question of district representation, and next of representation based upon the Republican vote. The issue of this debate was the unanimous adoption by the committee of tbe following resolution:

Resolved. That in accordance with the order ot the Republican National convention of 1880, the call lor the convention in 1884 shall provide for the securing to the several Congressional districts tbe right to elect their their own dele gates to such National convention: that the details, methods or rules to be included in such call shall be determined at a future meeting of the committee, to be held withia one year from this date, and that the whole subject be now referred to a committee of five, who shall make a report at such meeting.

Wm. E Chandler, Thomas C. Piatt, John Forbes, John A. Martin, and Chauncey I. Filley were appointed the committee tinder this resolution, 10 consider and report upon the subject of representation cf the territories and the District of Columbia iu tho National convention and oa the National committee. Mr, Jewell has invited a conference of the members of the National committee reiident In Washington, and those convenient to the city for 8aturday of this week, with a view Of fixing the time for a fnll meeting of the committee, at which time final action will be taken upon the subject. The committee has already unanimously agreed that its call shall provide for securing to the several Congressional districts the right to elect their own delegates, and only the methods or rnles for carrying out this purpose remain to be determined.

POSTMASTERS' POLITICAL PKIVILIOK81 First Assistant Postmaster General Hatton writes the Postmaster at Marble heed, Mass., about the right to hold another office: "The President expressly expected from the order Postmasters whose salary is under $1,000, although they are appointed by the head of the department. The order applies to you, as sn officer. It does not apply to a clerk in the Cincinnati Post Office, who is a subordinate, not being nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, nor appointed by the head of the depart ment, but employed by the Postmaster^at bis pleasure, without consultation with or direction from the department. Such a subordinate, at the discretion of the Postmaster who employs him, may hold the office of Alderman, provided the at' tention required by such position does not interfere with the regular and official discharge ol his duties in the postal service. It is the rale that excludes you, an officer within the intent of the executive Sy?ectmacf"?)i Constitutions, in express terms, exclude from holding tbe cffices of Represents' lives or Senators in State Legislatures persons holding office under the Govern ment of the United States. All such per sons are also intended to be included within the prohibition of the executive order."

THE DZMOCRATIC DILEMMA. WASHINGTON, April 13.—The free trade Democrats are making strenaous efforts to have the coming political cam paign conducted upon the issue of tariff reform, but thiB in stoutly opposed by the protectionists, and not only the protectionists, but by others of the party, who, though themselves in favor of tariff reform, oppoe the plan to make it an issue. Some of the party leaders who advocate making tariff reform prominent this year, with a view to fighting the next Presidential campaign upon it, are provoked at the disposition manifested to avoid this issue. One of these, a prominent member of Congress, said to day that he had no hope of Democratic success until the party declares itself upon distinctive principles that he was in favor of the party planting itself squarely on tariff reform, and of saying to those who did not agree with thfc issue that tbey had better get out of the Democratic party. He said: "As long as one half the Democrats in Congress continue to vote against tbe other balf on questions in which the people are mostly interested, we will never succeed."

HOWGATE GETS AWAY.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—H. W. Howgate, for tome months in jail in the city on account of his inability to procure the amount of bail required for his appearance to answer tbe charges made against him in connection with his administration of the financial affairs of the United States Signal 8ervice, escaped from hiB guard thia afternoon, while visiting his family. The circumstances are as follows: In accordance with precedents already established in similar cases, Howgate, at various .times in the past four or five months, has applied t» the court for temporary leavs of absence from the jail, to visit his family. These applications have generally been granted, the Court sending an officer with the prisoner to prevent his escape, and limiting to a few hours his absence trom the jail. To-dsy, for the first time ia two months or more, Howgate asked leave to go to his house for the purpose of seeing his daughter, recently returned from Vaasar College, and of looking over certain papers. Judge Wylie, to whom the application was made, granted the request, and seat with the prisoner Mr. Doing, one of tbe oldest and most trustworthy of the court bailiffs, with orders to bring him back to jail in two hoars. It wts thea about 3 o'clock. At Howgate's home, the bailiff, for some reason, lost sight of the prisoner for a moment, and when he turned around, Howgate was no longer in the room. The bailiff asked Miss Howgate where her father hsd gone. She replied that he had stepped out, but would return in a moment, and asked the bailiff to sit down. The officer, suspecting something wrong, rushed out of the house, bat could see nothing of the prisoner. The house was searched, the police headquarters notified, and the police everywhere put on the alert, but up to 11 p. m. no clue to the fugutive's whereabouts has been obtained. Marshal Henry thinks be is still in the city, but, as a precautionary measure, the police authorities of Baltimore, Richmond, New York, Philadelphia and Boston have been notified of his escape. If he should not be arrested before to-mor-row, a reward of $500 will be offered for his apprehension.

[From Geo. H. Peters & Co's Citeular.J BOSTON. April 10, 1882.-Western lumler is

firm,

With ligfit sales, owing to the prevailing high prices. These are due to the fart tfcat there Is comparatively little dry stcck in the hands of manufacturers West, and there is therefore no inducement to ship to this market The Indications for a fa'r spring trade are good and prices of some kluds of stcck must rule higher. Pine—The lcggers have had a fair winter in most plaas, end there will be enough lumber manufactured to supply the demand and keep prices about where they »re. Hard ^codsWalnut remains firm, and for good firsts and seconds there is no chance of a trsa* in price: for seconds and inferior lots of log ruu stock we think there will be an over supply, ash and cherry are firm, and prices are likejy to advance, as the amount got in this winter is comparal'aht. White wood is plenty and cheap. The rates of frttgni are nun pioood tor thn cummer, but there is no guarantee that tbey will remain as fixed without catling, as in former years.
