name from consideration for that position. The commissioners subsequently recommended the appointment of Charles Lyman, chief clerk of the United States Treason, office, as chief examiner in place of Keim, withdrawn, and a commission was consequently issued to Lyman by the President. Lyman, who has for a long time been identified with ciril service reform, was an active member of the civil service board appointed by General Grant He served in the army during the war of the rebellion, and made a good record. Mr. Keim, in his letter of withdrawal, says: “It would be superfluous to repel the unfriendly insinuations made respecting myself from the fact that not one of them has been sustained; and that no scandal has attached to my name is all the answer I care or n"ed to make. The question for me to consider is the effect which an unjust judgment might have upon my usefulness to the commission, and whether the experiment of civil-service reform should not have a trial unaffected by personal considerations. It is for the reason that my interest in the cause of reform is greater than my desire for the office that I wish to withdraw my name. However great my regret that I feel constrained to decline the honorable part assigned me by the recommendation of the commission in the practical work o f reform, and however unjust it is to have been condemned without one discovered fact in evidence, I have at least secured an opportunity of disinterested action. And now, Mr. President, as the best evidence 1 can offer of the interest i.fecl in the success of the work, I desire herewith to withdraw my name from consideration in the connection indicated.” THE STAK-UOITE TRIAL. The Arguments Suspended that Blnckmar Might He Examined. Washington, May 10.—When the starroute trial was resumed this morning, Judge Wylie said lie wished to qualify his remark, made yesterday, that seemed to censure Biackmar. Asa matter of fact, the evidence showed clearly that Biackmar had made no proposition to Rerdell, but had merely listened toa proposition coming from him. The court wished now to coniine its censure to Rerdell. Mr. Davidge said he believed the court did not fully understand the matter. It was not a mere proposition, hut an infamous bargain between Rerdell and a government agent to affect the composition of the jury. He was willing to suspend argument in order to let Biackmar take the stand and say whether or not he acted under orders. Biackmar then took the stand, and Mr. Ingersoll conducted the examination. Witness said he was present in court-room when Rerdell testified in regard to the subject. Ingersoll—You can state what you know about the matter. Witness—l made no arrangement of the kind with Rerdell; he said he was willing to go on the stand and testify. Q. —Did be say he would sit with the defendants and challenge jurors at the government’s suggestion? A.—He said he would exercise his privilege as a defendant to challenge jurors. Q. —How; for or against the government? A.—l was to communicate that to the government. He gave me a list of persons he would challenge; I have it now at my house, and would have brought it with me if I had supposed I would be examined. I communicated the proposition to Mr. Merrick, immediately, long before the trial began. I don’t think I gave that list to him, but cannot be positive. Mr. Ingersoll inquired if witness knew Rerdell had attempted to carry out his proposition. Witness said his only knowledge on that point had been derived from the record. It was not understood that Rerdell was to challenge jurors for the government. When witness reported to Mr. Merrick, he was directed to listen to Rerdell, and cautioned what to say in reply. Mr. Merrick ordered witness to say to Rerdell that the proposition could not bo entertained; it would not be proper for the prosecution to enter into it. nor would it be honorable toward the counsel for defense. Witness had a conversation with S. W. Dorsey, yesterday; did not tell him he made that arrangement with Rerdell. tttd did not think Dorsey would say that, either. Q. —Did yon not say to Dorsey, yesterday, that you ought not to be blamed for this Rersleil matter; that yon had taken every step under the direction of Mr. Merrick? A.—l said tlint in everything I had done in this trial my hands were clean, and that the remarks of Mr. Wilson were unfair; that I had been instructed to do whatever I did. Witness said.he would say now, and to the lay of his death, that he made no such arrangement with Rerdell as charged. Mr. Ingersoll asked some questions which the court considered foreign to the subject under examination, and Judge Wylie declined to allow an extension of the scope of inquiry. It must, he said, be confined to the simple question whether there was an agreement between Rerdell and Biackmar. Witness said he now' remembered that he had not shown a list of names to Mr. Merrick when he reported to Mr. Merrick that Herded wanted to challenge for the government. That gentleman was very much offended, but witness must listen to Rerdell while refusing to entertain the proposition. The court said it had been surprised at Mr. Wilson’s declamation against the prosecution, and had referred to the evidence to ascertain if lie was justified in it. A careful consideration of the testimony led the court to the belief that Rlackninr had only listened in silence to Rerdell’s suggestion, and although perhaps he (Biackmar) had not done his whole duty in failing to denounce Rerdell at ttie time, yet the court failed to see any ground for the indignation expressed by the counsel at the course of the government. The court decidedly refused to go further into the subject, and Mr. Wilson resumed his address to the jury. The prosecution, be said, bad made a great point out of the fact that some of the routes ran through vast solitudes ami across well-nigh impassable mountains. Well, Congress ami not the Second Assistant Postmaster-general-was responsible for that. They specified the routes the mail should traverse, and the Second Assistant Postmaster general carried out t heir laws. The jury could not ©raw an Inference of criminality from the charge of the judge who sat upon the bench; they must took to the evidence alone. No matter 1f Brady*> orders were not wise, it would be n monstrous thing for the jury to convict an xeentive officer of crime, beenuse his judgment had not been wisely exercised. Mr. Wilson bad not concluded his address 'vuen the court adjourned. A COLORED MEN’S CONVENTION. Frederick Dougin mi Give* Ills Views Concerning the Movement. WiiMhtnaton Special. Frederick Douglass, in an Interview today, said [of the national colored men's convention, lo bo held in this city next September. “I assure yon that there Is no secret Intention or purpose about it. The colored citiicensof the country occupy, or think they occupy, n peculiar relation to the oilier citi.*ns of the republic). Whether they wish It

!or not, they are in some sense a separate I class. They are reminded of all this in their I relations to the general American public. I j think it is the intention to come together I for consultation as to the best means of j bettering our condition as a class. I am suprised that the proposed convention has met so little favor from the Re- | publican papers of. the country. I am equally surprised that the editors of the colored newspapers have generally opposed the convention. The Republican press betray a fear that the convention will be anti-Republican, while the colored editors fear that the convention will be controlled by the existing administration. Neither ground of opposition is really tenable. Nothing is mure common in this country than conventions for various purposes. We have all sorts of conventions—lrish conventions, women’s conventions, temperance conventions, workingmen’s conventions, religious conventions, infidels’ conventions, conventions to put God into the constitution, and conventions opposed to putting God into the constitution, and each convention must be judged upon its merits. One would think that there was something wrong in the very idea of a convention, but it is not so. They are the safety-valves of the republic. Men meet together and speak of their wants, their wishes; to prevent their grievances, if they have any, and make them known to the public. There is no use for dynamite where men can assemble in conventions. The opposition to this convention on the part of colored editors has an element of bitterness in it-” "What do you hope or expect from the convention?** asked the reporter. “If tiie convention does no good,” said Mr. Douglass, “or is likely not to do any good, I feel it my duty to act with it, and do my best to prevent its doing any harm to the cuuse of the colored man. Sly belief is that it can put forth such an utterance that it will ruise the colored man in the estimation of his fellowcitizens, and secure for him a better footing in the republic. All sorts of moves are attributed to the callers of the convention; that they are office-seekers, and the Boston Advertiser tells us that we make a mistake when we challenge consideration on the strength of color or the former state of our race; that the color of his skin is no reason forgiving a man business, office or special courtesy. All of which is very true, but equally true is it that man's color should not be reason of his exclusion from any business or office, or the denial of any courtesy. The one proposition is as true as the other, and it is to tliis last proposition that the convention of colored men, as I understand it, propose to address themselves.” GENERAL AND PERSONAL. An Indianapolis Man Undertakes the Filling of a Long-Felt Want. There is anew weekly in Wnahington, the Patent Office News. It is a neatly-printed quarto, published by Dr. Frank T. Howe and W. G. Nicholas, young men who appreciate the value of getting the latest information in all lines of news much better tlmn the average weekly publisher. No fact in connection with the issuing of patents can reach the public in any way a moment sooner than through this Patent Office News, and the other publications will have their hands full to keep up to this youngest competitor. Its publishers have no other purpose but to win in the field of special periodical literature, ami they have taken a specialty that gives ample promise of success for the venture, Mr. Coukliug’H Mistake. Qsth’e Gossip. “What is thought in Washington about Conkliug’s speech?” “It is regarded as a mistake. He seems to have no power to allay public excitement. Assoon as the public mind becotues cheerful and disposed to forgive him he starts afresh, and provokes anew burst of indignation.” “Is Conkling making money at the law?” “Yes; not only making money for work that lie does, but he gets fees merely for declining to appear on the opposite side of a case. A large corporation will pay him a considerable fee in order to keep him from being retained by its opponents, although they do not ask him to do any work at all.” The Youthful Chief of the Army, Washington Spocittl. The youthful ness of the General of the Army, who is about to be retired for “old age,” is thus explained. Sherman was about to start for Fortress Monroe, rr'aen a reporter said: “You will miss the circus.” “That’s so.” replied the General, “I’ll miss the circus, and hate to do it. You know the circus is my stronghold. I saw the parade this morning, and I would like to see the show; but, as I am going on a gun-boat, I have to take her when I can get her.” "How long will you be gone?” continued the reporter. “Well, I can’t tell. If the fishing Is good I won’t hurry back.” Tobacco Stamps in Abundance. Washington, May 10.—The acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue to day seut a telegram to collectors in the principal tobacco manufacturing districts of which the following is a copy: Increased facilities have been provided for Imprinting stamps, and after to-morrow it will he within the power of this office t. relieve the immediate pressure, and at an eariy day HU all requisitions. Notes and Personals. Washington, May 10. —A postoffice has been established at Brice, Jay county, Ind. The original commission of Judge Howe as I'ostmaster-geueral has been sent to his son Frank. The bond of George W. Russell, postmaster at Irvfngton, Ind., for $4,000, has been approved by the department. Advices from Philadelphia say that after the operation was performed on Judge Kelley on Monday ho hud a serious relapse. Yesterday morning he was quite low, but by evening had begun to improve, and at a late hour was doing well. The Secretary of the Interior has declined the request of Martin B. Haves to vacate the approval made by the Commissioner-general of the Lund Office of the entries upon the mines known as Santa Rita del Cobrein New Mexico, consisting of forty-five lode cluinis, entered b.v D. 11. Moffktt, jr., and patents will accordingly issue in favor of the mining claimants. The Comptroller of Currency authorized the City National Bank of Akron, 0., to begin business, with a capitul of SIOO,OOO, and the First National Bank of Uniou. Ore., with a capital of $500,000. The Supreme Court of the District dismissed the petition of Rumptf & Graessler fora mandamus on the Secretarv of the Interior and the Commissioner of Patents, on the ground of no jurisdiction. Runipff & Graessler wanted a commission appointed to take testimony in a foreign country as to their being the original inventors of a patent. Knights of Honor Election.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. A Pittsburg; Murderer Goes Coolly to His Execution, Progress of Thompson's Trial in Kentucky —The Usual List af Accidents and Affrays. THE CRIMINAL RECORD. Execution of Ward McConkey at Pittsburg for the Murder of McClure. Pittsburg, Pa. May 10.—Ward McConkey was executed here this forenoon in the yard attached to the county jail, for the murder of Geo. A. McClure, in Deadman’s Hollow, near McKeesport, Pa., on the night of August 2, 1881. The murdered man had ?oods stolen from his store, and had tracked the thieves, among whom was McConkey, to the Hollow where be was afterwards found riddled with bullets. The murder created intense excitement and vigilance committees were formed who scoured the woods for miles, but the murderers eluded them, and several months afterward McConkey was arrested in New York State, but the others have never been apprehended. McConkey retired to bed about 10 last night, and slept so soundly that he had to be awakened this morning. He ate a hearty breakfast, and when his spiritual advisers visited him, was as unconcerned s he had been all the time. He ascended the scaffold a few minutes before 11. and thirteen minutes later the trap was sprung. On the scaffold he protested his innocence, and addressing the spectators said: “Good bye, one and aii. You nang me because you suppose I know something of McClure's murder and wont squeal.” Just as the cap was adjusted he said: “Good bye, all ye murderers. 1 ’ Death was caused from strangulation, and life was extinct in seven minutes. The bearing of the condemned was total indifference, not a single tremor being perceptible, and lie was even laughing as he marched from the juil to the scaffold. The Trial of Jere Dunn. Chicago, May 10.—The trial of Jere Dunn was resumed this morning, the time being occupied in filling the jury list, after which it adjourned tilt afternoon. The court resumed its session at 2 o’clock, and the case proceeded without any change in tiie jury panel. The opening arguments for the State and defense were made by counsel. Fred Plaisted, the oarsman, who sat at the table with Elliott at the time of the shooting, testified that a shot was fired over his shoulder by someone behind him. Elliott jumped up with an exclamation, and raised a chair as if to strike, when another shot was fired. Dunn and Elliott came together in a death struggle, and ten seconds inter lie saw a pistol in Elliott’s bauds. Dr. T. J. Bluthardt, county physician, detailed the results of the post mortem examination. Charles Deal, cashier of the restaurant in which the affray occurred, testified that he saw Elliott and Plaisted come into the place and pass back into the restaurant A short time after he heard a shot* and then saw Elliott and Dunn come into the frout part of the place, struggling together. This closed the day’s proceedings. Defendant preserved the utmost coolness throughout. Trial of Phil. Thompson. Harbodsburg, Ky., May 10.—The proceedings in the Thompson murder trial were mainly formal. The prosecution rested, after giving legal proof of the murder. Colonel Jacobs then presented the defense to the jury by a statement which shows that the line of the defense will be that the shooting was justified by a great wrong Buffered by Thompson, and that this provocation was only heightened when Davis, in the car, offered his hand to Thompson. Colonel Jacobs drew a picture of Davis’s conduct in Cincinnati when lie brought Mrs. Thompson, drunk, to the St. Clair Hotel, and declared it was worse than criminal. Testimony lor the defense began, but was merely formal. The contest will be made when tiie defense attempts to prove facts which will justify Thompson. Appropriating Paupers’ Money. Boston. May 10.—In the Tewksbury investigation, to-day, Richard Morey testified that his aunt, Ellen Allen, weut to Tewksbury in March, 1877. She had money with her—he understood about sls0 —also, some jewelry p.nd valuable clothing. His aunt died at the institution in May, and his father was unable to obtain either clothing or money, and got no satisfaction whatever. The cash book shows a credit of $i to this inmate. Arthur Phippen, bookkeeper for a firm of coal dealers, testified that a number of tons of coal were sent by him to Exeter, N. 11., by order of Captain Marsh. The Governor said that he proposed to prove that tliis was paid for by tiie State. Witnesses identified certain bills for coal which were in Marsh's private accounts, but which had been paid by the State Auditor. A Michigan Rank Robbed. Detroit, May 10.—The bank of Townsend North, at Vassar, was entered by burglars, last night, the safe blown open, and $4,000 in specie taken. The thieves were frightened away before they could open another drawer, which contained SO,OOO in currency. Frank L. Fates, who rooms over the bank, was held under revolvers while the robbery was perpetrated. Six hundred dollars in silver was subsequently found in u box some distance from the bank A large posse went in pursuit, and drove thegang into u swamp, exchanging shots with them, but at lust advices had not effected tbeir capture. A Wisconsin Murderer's Sentence. Grand Rapid©, May 10.— Marvin Fenaer was to-day convicted of murder in the first degree, for killing John Hesler, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Denver, Col., May 10.—The Tribune’s Albuquerque, N. M., special says: “Colonel Unda, chief of staff of General Fuero, of the Chihuahua army, who is in El Paso, states that the movement of General Crook across the Mexican border is not only approved by his government but that General Fuero has instructions to take the field in charge of the troops stationed in Chihuahua, to co-operate with Crook in a grand Apache round-up, the lines of the combined forces being drawn around the savages so- that it will be impossible for them to break through. Colonel Unda believes a blow will be struck this time that will end in the utter annhihilation of the raiding Apaches. Upon Crook’s arrival at Sierra Madres the Mexican troops will move, and there will be music in the air. Awaiting; News from Crook. El Paso, Tex., May 10.—The Times says: ‘‘Neither Mexican or our own officers have yet received intelligence of nor from General Crook. Colonel Unda, at Paso del Norte, has directed the establishment of a courier line from Janos to Courillas, on the Mexican Central. It ia in this direction that the Mexicans expect to receive the first definite news, bnt our officers believe General Crook will communicate from Guadalupe canon.” There is no direct news from General Crook, as yet. The Mexicans are using every exertion to communicate with him. The point where Crook is supposed to be is fifty miles from the nearest railroad station. General Fuero is eu route by way of Monterey. RAIN, HAIL AND WIND. Destruction of Property and Loss of Life in an Illinois Storm.
