dent and his Cabinet were considering the case of Pension Commissioner Tanner. He was shown into tho Cabinet-room, and joined in the discussion. How the Trouble Arose. To the "Western Anc:tel Press. Washington, Sept. 11. The crisis in the

relations between Secretary Noble and J Pension Commissioner Tanner, which, according to the former, had been reached to-day, continues without settlement at a late hour to-night Upon the best authority it may bo said that the Commissioner has not been removed, nor haa his resignation been requested by the President.- The same authority says, what has been patent for some time, that serious differences have arisen between Secretary Noble and Commissioner Tanner over questions concerning the administration of the Pension Bureau, but not in any wise affecting the Commissioner's personal character, in the sense of imputing any corruption in his acts. This same authority conceded that these matters related principally, to reratmgs of the pensions of employes and officials of the ourcau and others, and to certain statements credited to tho Commissioner in interviews and speeches. Secretary Noble is reported to have said that the President must decide which one of the two he will retain in his present position the Commissioner or himself; but he will not talk of the matter to newspaper people, and the Commissioner is equally non-communicative. Two appointments have been discussed here, to-aay, in connection with providing a place for Mr. TannerUnited States marshal for the Southern district of New York and Register of the Treasury. The first, it is said. Commissioner Tanner can havo if ho leaves the Pension Bureau, without any doubt. As to the other office. President Harrison is quoted as saying that he had no intention of lemoving General Rosecrans. It wan said to-day. however, that the President was ignorant until yesterday of the fact that General Rosecrans is drawing two salaries from the government, one as Register of the Treasury, and one as a retired brigaer-generaf. The gentleman who mentioned this to him says that the President was much surprised at learning it The office of marshal pays $3,500, and that of register $4,000. Air. Tanner is reported as being very reluctant to return to Brooklyn. At the Pension Bureau tho rumors concerning the tenure of the Commissioner have had a disquieting eflect, natural', and a speedy settlement of the controversy is essential to the good administration of the office. If Mr. Tanner shall leave his departure will be greatly regretted by tho clerks, who speak in warm termsof the consideration with which he has always treated them. MaJ. William Warner May Be Appointed. Eueclal to thn Indianapolis Journal. Kansas City, Sept 11. Maj. William Warner is reported to have left Kansas City to-night for Washington, in response to a telegram from the President and Secretary of the Interior, asking him if he wculd accept the position of Commissioner of Pensions, to succeed Commissioner Tanner in event tho latter should be removed. Major Warner was a member of tho llouso of Representatives for two terms, and afterwards was commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of tho Republic. lie is very popular among the veterans, and eversince the talk of Tanner's removal began he has been mentioned as among the possibilities for tho succession. It is known that ho received an official telegram calling him to Washington to-night, and as he cannot be found, it is probable that he is on the way there. Will Have No KOect on tho G. A. It. New York, Sept. 11. Gen. W.T.Sherman was seen by a reporter to-night and asked his opinion in regard to Corporal Tanner's reported resignation from the office of Commissioner of Pensions. lie said that, in his opinion, it would not affect the allegiance of tho G. A. R., either one way or the other, as they were too sensible a body of men to question any acts of the President BAD HOOK KEKrLNG. Ex-Printer Benedict Time Accounts Found to Be in a Muddled Condition. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. "Washington, Sept 11. It will he remembered that when Benedict became Public Printer under Cleveland he bloviated a great deal about tho condition otthe books as kept by Public Printer Rounds. Thomas J. Lasiae, the chief time-clerk of the office, said to-day that Benedict's books were in such a muddled condition when Public Printer Palmer took charge of the office that it was necessary to postpone the payment of employes for a time in order that a correct statement of their accounts could be ascertained, and that it would not be earlier than October before the books could ne straightened up and made intelligible. It appears that Benedict spent more time criticising the management of his predecessor than he did in improving the condition of the office, and it is fortunate for the country that the change in management was made at the time Mr. Palmer took charge. , MINOR MATTERS.

Special to the IutlianapoUs Journal Russia ville, Sept. 11. Grant Hnrless, a young man living at Middlefork, Clinton county, six miles west of this place, received a blow on the head from a stone thrown by his brothor-in-law, Sheridan Rodkey, yesterday afternoon. The skull was fractured, and the doctors now declare that death will result in a few hours. Yonng Hnrless was having an altercation with Billie Rodkey, a brother to Sheridan, and the dispute got to be loud and threatened to come to blows, when Sheridan rushed in and cast the fatal stone. Tho trouble occurred at the farm of John Hnrless, Sheridan Rodkey's father-in-law. It seems that Rodkey had been living with his wife's father, and Grant Hnrless got married and Rodkey had to give his place to Grant and his wife, which gave rise to hard feelings between them. This appears to be the only reason for the rash act. Doctors of the Mississippi Valley. Special to the IudianapoUs Journal. Evansville, Sept. 11.

The latest reports from thoso counties estimate the total number of dead negroes at seventy-five. Other counties are yet to hear from. A number of the leaders in the eastern part of Leflore county have been severely dealt with, but tho numbei killed and their names are not ascertainable.

A brutal murder was committed six miles from this place on the Abbeyrille road on Monday night. Near the roadside stood a small cabin, and in this lay the mutilated bodies of Hose -mond Cormier, colored, and his daughter Rosalie, aged fifteen. Tho following particulars were elicited at the coroner's inquest: Itosemond, who was over sixty years of age, was whipped and ordered to leave some months ago by a band of regulators, and failing to obey, met an untimely end Monday night It appears that about 10 o'clock a party of masked men rode up to his house and demanded admittance, and on being refused, broke down the door. The old man fired both barrels of a shotgun into tho crowd, killing a white) man named John Jndice. Cormier then lied, pursued by the now enraged party, wno hred repeatedly at the fugitive; they overtook him about two hundred yams from his house, and blew the entire hack part of his head oil and then crushed in the frontal bone by blows with their guns. Tho body of Rosalie lay stretched in front of th cabin this morning, with her throat cut from ear to ear. The little cabin was rii -dled with bullets from Winchester rifles and smaller arms, about two hundred halls haying been fired into it As the cabin was an isolated one the coroner's jury could find no evidence incriminating any one. The body of masked men who murdered Rosemond and his daughter numbered about thirty. The regulators before reaching Cormiers houso severely whipped two negroes Lucien Montgomery and Joseph Cobb. Tho victims were fearfully lacerated on their backs, and received ugly wounds about tho head and face, inflicted with an instrument made by attaching n piece of buggy trace about two leet long to a handle mado of wood of about tho sain length. Cobb says the crowd camu to his houso and with an oath demanded admitance; being refused they broke down the door and took himself ami Lucien do n tho road some distance and then beat them unmercifully for. nearly, a half hour. He did not recognize them, as they were all masked, one being dressedin a woman's clothi ng. He could not give any explanation as to why he was flogged, but did not ascribe it to politics. He heard the men say something to Lucien about voting for Minor, but could not remember what i t was. Cobb, when seen was in bed, and will remain! there for several more days before he recovers from tho 6evcre castigation administered to him. It is the opinion of the shoriff that others were wounded in the affair last night, but 60 far nothing definito has been ascertained in this respect White Man and Negro Lynched. Raleigh, N.

The people of Morganton propose to ferret out the lynchers and punish them. Coy and Cojlsm. Lafayette Call. The Democratic machine is again in tho hands of Sim Coy, fresh from a term spent in the Northern penitentiary for forging returns by which it was to be made to appear that a Democratic candidatein lact, several of them who received in truth but a minority of the votes, was elected. One would think that tho putting of the management of a party in tho hands of a confessed and couvicted criminal, and who, before he became a criminal in the eyes of the law, was the keeper of a notorious gambling-saloon and hell-hole, would so disgust tho respectable .members of that partj that as one man they would rise up and rebuke it, by themselves hurling down to defeat the unworthy nominations thus forced upon them. We say ono might think that this would bo the case, but if hej did, he would be wofully mistaken, if the signs of tho times are correctlj- interpreted. The general opinion seems to be. of political seers on both sides, that so far from a popular uprising to rebuke such monstrous proceedings, we are more likely to see the triumph of Mr. Coy's candidates and Mr. Coj-'s programme, and witness tho indorsement of fraud and crime, and the. elevation of their successful perpetrators to the chief seats of honor in the ranks of the party's trusted leaders and counselors.
