He attended the Manhattan Clunrsccption last nfght, and after returning to Washington for a few days will go to Atlaata, f o the proposed Commercial Convention. Tuf. Pecrii City Council Wednesday night unanimously passed a resolution bearing testimony to the ability, integrity and worth cf Colonel W. T. Dowdall, who is now mentioned as a probable Consul to Rio de Janeiro. Mr. C. N. Jordan, who was recently appointed Treasurer of the United States, is fifty years old and has bad over thirty years experience in the banking business, and is an expert accountant. He begins his new duties Ma7 1. Tom Ryan, formerly of tnis city, was yesterday appointed a special agent in Alaska at a salary of f 2,900. Where i that otuer hundred collars? Torn lives in Missouri now, to that the appointment should not go to the credit of Indiana. Wk are depending upon ths Commercial Gazette for information concerning the candidacy of the Enquirer McLean for the Governorship of Ohio. We trust that any new dsvelopments may be promptly noted by our esteemed Cincinnati contemporary. The new Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. Colrc an, is making a gcod record. It is aa id that he is about ready to get rid of some of Lorlcg'a wcrst instruments, and pushing vigorously on the work of reform. His department needs a thorough overhauling and honest and intelligent handling. An Irishman appeared the other day in a court of Washington City to take out naturiltzaticn papers. The usual questions as to tge and residence bavin? been answered, the Judge asked: "Are yon attached to republican institutions? And the applicant replied: ,,Xo, your Honor. I'm a Democrat, and don't believe in anything Republican." He was given his rapers 0cak Henderson, eiitor of the Kokomo Dispatch, who was recently named by the President for the Internal Revenue Cotnmissionership of his District, says: "As we understand the situation. Collector KirkPatrick admits that his tenure of office expired with Arthur's administration. He does not claim otherwise, but for the sake of 'revenue only he hapes to hold on yet awhile if only by his eyebrows. Wa believe that Treiident Cleveland will spedily issue commissions to all appointees, about fifty in number, upon which the 8eaate to A no action." If it be tine that tbeiBritlth Government demanded of the Russian as au ultimatum the disovowal and sacercedure of General Kcmarcflf and the withdrawal of Russian forces from the ' zone" of disputable territory, then war betaeea the two powsrs would appear to be inevitable. Russia does not supercede KomarolT nor withdraw her forces an inch. Bee refers the British Government to KomaroS'a dispatctesiu explanation of his movements, and instead of apologizing for him, makes comp'aint against the S'ze ct Sir Peter Lumsden'a escort aud the menaclog speeches of Lord Dufferin. XomarofTs report made the Afghans the aggressors, bringing on the battle of Maren 30. Bat Sir Peter Lcmsden'a statement contradicts thl?, and fixes the provocation of the fight on the Zloesiana. The logio of the situation ia in

favor of ths Englishman's version of the affair. The Afghan were not In au23dent force to veutare an attack, and the British ctficers would hardly have Instigated them to aggression, knowing their forces unequal to success in it. AJ1 the evidence points to Russia as occupying a defiant attitude, and the has asumed a position wblsb, if maintaiced, either humiliates the British Government or compels her to war. As the matter etands, war would seem to be Inevitable, and Mr. GI&däoDe'a speech, with bis demand far a credit of V 000, 000, indicates that his Government has decided that war it shall bo.

The decision rendered by ths United States Supreme Court on Monday In the Virginia cDupon tax ca?es is destined to involve that State in a turbulent political fight the coming autumn. The situation is as follows: By an act of the Legislature of March ,10, 1371, known as the funding act, and tha issue of bonds ani coupons by virtue of the same, the State contracted with coupon holders to that such coupons should be receivable at and after maturity "for all taxes, debts, dues and demands due the State." The vast amount of coupons falling due annually Uacea it within the power of taxpayers to procure thera at a discount, and thus make a saving in payment of taxe3. Ia lfcSl William Mahone, eo called "jreadj ast er," but in reality a repudiator, male, with his garjg, a fight for the mastsry over Virginia politics by announcing opposition to the acceptance by the State of theaa coupons for taxes. Upon this issue the Mahenites carried the Stat9 election, tea'ing Cameron, Republican, in tho Gubernatiot.al chair by a heavy majority, the Rfpablicms and so-called readjustee having coalesced. In January 1S52 the Mahone Legislatnro raised an act 'to provide for the more eracient CDlIection of the revenua to support government, maintain tha public schools and pay interest on the public debt," forbidding the receipt for taxes of coupons issued under tho act of March 00,1871. The Supreme Court, referring to the act of January, 1SS2. says: "Altboush it ia a legislative act of the government of Virginia, is not a law of Virginia, because It tmpxir3 the obligations of its contract and is annulled by the Constitution cf tha United States." This decision gives to the little political villa'n, Mahone. a flash opportunity to try his demagogical hand e.gn'n upon the Virginia political wires. He will now, it is reliably stated, himself make the race for Governor this year upou a premise to have a sovereign convention called aud the public debt repudiated by a constitutional provision. He will not ran on any party line, but an out and out Repudiationist. Tne majority cf the S:ate's indebtedness wes piltdnpby Republican Legislatures, and was a villainous ontrage upon the people. Now Mahone, a Republican, proposes to repudiate the debt his party mida. He will seek to dishcror Virginia to advance his corrupt ambition int as he would seek to plunge her into inextricable debt, were thst Etcessary to hljends. We repeat what we eaid ence before in these columns', it were bettf r for the reputation cf William Mahone and for Virginia tlat tQ had fallen at the mouth of the Patersburg crater twenty years pro than that his gray hairs ehculd be crowned with infamy and h:3 mother State be difgraced by his shameless attompts to besmirch her honored name. The Minnesota Democrats, or at least a portion of them, seem to have formed a syndicate, through which the offices were to be divided out to the party in that State. Tbey gave it out that applications should be forwarded ta thera at Washingtgn, and intiaoated that tbe President understood the plan and bad sanctioned it. Rereatly, however, the matter was brought to the President's attention by a MinneEO'a politician, and he expressed his surprise, and eaid it was the first he had heard of the matter. He said that scch a scheme could not be supposed to have his indorsement. Several attempts have been wade to control tbe Federal patronage in other Staes Referring to women in the departments at Washington, a special lavB that the majority of them are very quiet, practical and thorough experts in the lines of business that they ucdeistand They make gocd typewriters, short-Land writers and copyists'. The most expert counters cf money in ths Treasury are women. A3 detecters of counterfeit money some of tbe ladies in the National Redemption DivLsioo cl the Treasury have no equals. The presence of fifteen or twenty bysterickj women in the department is enocsh to give tha chiefa a prejudice against women clerks as a clas. There is no doubt that the present commission Invest!sating the department is of tha opinion that a greater proportion of women is employed than should be. It baa been charged that Consul General Mcrgan, recently appointed by Mr. Cleveland, Is a Republican, and that during the campaign be wrote a pamphlet reflecting uron Mr Cleveland and eulogizing Mr. Biaire. This is now contradicted by the State Department, and the matter explained. It teems that Morgan, while in Mexico, before either candidate had been nominated, was desirous of promoting friendly relations between tbe United S'fttcw and Mexico, and published a pamphlet in which Blaine's foreign policy was commended a? far au Mexico and Central America were concerned. His publication, it is claimed, was without partisan signlficince, and was desigoed for a private circular rxalnly in Mexico. Mr. Morgan's explanation Is said to be satisfactory to the State Department. Commi?io2UR SrAF.Ks. of the Generf-1 Land Office, tays the New York Sun's Washington correspondent, is outspoken in his demand! that he be permitted to make such removals and appointments as be shall think the gooi of the service demands, and the accompanying prcclamatioq by him that h? is In faro?,

es a rule, of substituting Democrats for Republicans, is a fair expression of what exists under the surface in other places. It is a centiment that sooner or later will triumph, or lead to great discord In the Administration. When Cabinet ofUcers think It necessary to apologize and exclaln, ths strain must shortly become serious. We should imegine, however, that Mr. Clerelmd nndarf tands the situation very thoroughly. As a Republican remarked to us the other day, "If Cleve'and keeps up doisg thinirj as he ba3 begun, be will knock the Republican party to pieces before tha next Presidential campaign cpers."

It is said that the President has a doable. He lives in ChIc3jro and the boys call him "Grove" for short. A Washington paper gives an incident in connection with this resemblance. The President, it is known, is very approachable, ea?y and frank in conversation and likei his callers to be so. but there wda au nnconveutlonality and a wild Western familiarity about one of his callers that toe k him by surprise. The visitor wa3 an applicant for cilice, and was presented by a Wes'.ern Congressman. Af :er being introduced he broke out: "By the way, Mr. President, the boys tell me out in Ch'csgo we look a dern s:ght alike, you and me, bat I ain't ashamed of that. They call me 'Grova' just cn account of that, ard every time the o-. t call me Grove' It costs me ?1 for tie in; t ?, b::t I dju't begrudga it." The Preicer.t s ailed and treated his double with ctartfsy, ciihouh he did net avov his r:cc?raticn of tbp alleged resemblance. The New Yorx Tribune thinks that tbe n,tt torcriiej r.nd s!uificsnt mcessge that General Grabt ncaivtd daring his illness was contained in a letter from General Bael. The two Generals had been placed ia h03tile attitude toward' each other, beginning with th9 battla of Shiloh, and it had seemingly, at least, continued throughout the war. General Bueli's friends claimed the glory of tha final victory at Pittsburg Landing, and censured General Grant for the disasters of the first day. General Grant's friends charged the disasters of the first day oa General Bueli's delay, and said they could Lave won the victory without him. The letter wa3 written to General Fry, and is as follows: ArOKiP, March 10, 1S5. To General J. C. Fry, City of New York: My Dear General I fcave read with ranch rain tbe account which youentineof thealarcain state of Grant's health. I ha4 seen the first reports contradicted and hoped that tbey were uu:ounded; and I Rhall ttill hope that tne daa?er Is rot as great a the account supposes. If you leeia the occasion proper. I will thaak you to cenvey to Mr?. Grant au-1 to him tbe expressioa of my sincere svrapatt.y. Wry sincerely yours, D, C. Bh:m. It was cent to Mrs. Grant when the G eneral was very near deata'a door. He was too weak to reed it, or have it read to him. Mrs. Grant, however, forwarded her thanks for tha letter. Referring to Williams, appointed by Mr. Arthur at the close of his administration. Minister to Hajti and Consul General to St. Domingo, the New York Herald's Washington correspondent eays-: "Williams says that he has a grievance, and makes the Secretary of Slate responsible for the cause. Thereupon he rushes into print and proves conclusively by bis attacks upon the head of the diplomatic department cf the Government that be is not the proper person to be intrusted with the intermediary duties of a repreeentstive of the United States in Hayti. The importance cf subordination in the State Department is not less than in the War and Navy. It is, indeed, of the utmost importance that a Minister ehould not go abroad with the record that he had quarreled with his chief. It is only a few days since the President publicly reprimanded General Hazen for insubordination, having been found, in the language of the reprimand,, guilty, of indulging m unwarranted and ciptious criticism of bis superior ofScer, the Secretary of War.thereby setting a pern ;cious eximple, subversive of discipline and the interests of the aervice.' It la said that the President's attention has been called to the statements printed over Mr. Williams' name, and that he is of the opinion that the bast interests of the Government will be eubeerscd by sending somebody else to Hayti." Who will say that great good may not be the outcome of war between Great Britain and Russia? Twenty five years aso this Nation deplored the conflict then just begun between the States. No good results could be predicted. But a very great good did come of it: 4,000,fCO slave were raada citizens, the white population cf tbe South were elevated from idlers to workers, and the Union was established upon a firmer basis than it had ever ocenpfed. With England and Rursia at p?v?, what hope basks in tbe libt sf liberty for Cossack, serf or British aujct? Bat let these two poweis exhaust their ' imperial" resources in combatting each other, aud whowill say that democratic Independence may net tire the hearts and arms of their eppressed people and tbs g?nias cf oar American institutions rnolel successors to the governments of aee and Czar. War mad tbe American colonies the grand Republic we pra'se aadlovp; war republican'zed France Thaaoiritof the ae ia universal Jibetty the political equality of man. Who will say that the blood cf th Afghan and the Ccs?ack. s h?d on the :;0th cf March, may not have been thejjapiismat of ths freedom cf rcland and the consecraM'oa of the epitaph over the grave r f Robert Emmett? A New York letter to tin Philadelphia Cfcord tays: Lltc-o'n raw In the ability, rertitu-le, nnl patriotWu of the Democratic war Governor cf New Yort tbe means of raaiia the entire North a unit in the Presidential crapalcn of 1SGI. whici prorated to be a very 'ormy one an-1 threateued at ime to disrupt tha North.

Already the party is beginning to feel eure of its strength, and this fetling of confidence is 'artely due to tbe discretion of Pres deat Cleveland. Lebanon TJonesr. Hon.

Ncith Vrr -cu S in. A number cf Rpui!ican papr3 throughout tbe country are saying that there is lit ely to be a break between tbe President and his i arty, and we are frequently askei if it fs true. Let us answer cuce fjr all that it is net true. Tfce Democratic party understool the Presidfnt ttfjie tbe election and he is crrlne out the v?ry Ideas he promised, and with that the party is perfectly satisfied, thoreh it may not.snit these who abandoned all bosicess except? pursuit of offica, on the day cf the inauguration. The President doa net mean by civil service reform to keep Republicans .in ofnee, and those who bund upon aacÜ hopes will be aadly miftaken. As rpldly as circumstances will permit, and; in accordance with ths V J

proper Ideas of civil servic reform. Democrats will be placed in the otti:es now held by Republicans. There may be a few continue indefinitely, but they will be few. The people must learn that civil service reform and keeping the raacais in ax two widely different ideas. As fan as it Is consistent with the public gocd tbe old will be sapplanted by the new. Columbia City Post. Governor Gray is reported by ths Indianapolis Sentinel as saying that very little, if any, vicious legislation was enacted by the late General Assemby, and that a carsfal study of the laws that were passed will piove that tfce meeting of the Legislature was not in vain. Tne Governor is, no doubt, correct in his conclusion that a csrefal resume of the work done at tha lat session will show that it compares favorably with that of any previous f esion, especially when the fact is taken Into account that tbera waa need of no legi-latlon of any great importance to the whole State. There we3 do general demand for tne pat.s3g9 cf any measure in whicn th people were greatly interested or agitated over, therefore tbe imprassion yent fortn tbft the Legislature waa doin nothing, while, no doubt, in justice to ihe Legislature ai a whole, it should be eaid it did mnch better than it is credited with doing. -Michigan City Dispatch. Geneiai Spaiks, the new Commlsöioner ot the Laud Office, finds that the Government has been rebbed of miiions cf acres of the public domain. He intends to lay the facts before the Presi

dent. He lay a it ia almost a hopeless task to trv to reform the management of the land tlrice without making wnolea'e cbfrfs. He believes that rri t of the rcht?:s cf the land offices in tbe Wrst ars in iha p3y cf the corporations. He ft--. to time to hunt up aü th cnrgfs that cruld be broogbt against these men io o:der to tecure removals. He i3 certain that his own Immediate olfice needs tborcnsh overhauling. In vievcf all the facts thus far developed in tbe Investigation of this office, it is not unreasonable fo expect, pays an exchange, that the President will give Mr. Sparks a certain amount of arbitrary poer, subject to Mr. Lamar's approval. In making sweeping chanKS. The civil service law, as it now stands, is a shield to come of the worst thieves in the Government service.

GENERAL KOMAROFP, THK KfSSlAN OENERAL WHO PEI EATED THE AFCHANS NEAR PENJDKII. General KoniaroSf has been appointed Commander-in-Chief over Turkestan. His came bad been comparatively unknown until his victory over tha Afghans, the result of a fight for which he claims the defeated were entirely to blame, gave him world-wide notoriety. The manner in which the news of the battle was received in London made it appear probable that he was the man who would live in hisioy as the General whose action virtually began a great war between England and Russia. At the present writ ing, notwithstanding the explanation which he has given as the reason why he fought a battle at what was an inopportune moment in tbe ntco'iation3 proceeding between Eng Jam ud Russia, it is by no means certain that be ill not be thus remembered. Tbe Afbau ccount of the battle and the oirlcial report c f tnt British officers who were present at it, or in the neighborhood, are not yet fortbeomins. Potsibly the anger of England and her intention to resist what she claims to be Ruf-fiian aggression, will be justified in the light of future developments. Oos:ce of hs recent achievement, General KcmaToif is remembered by the learned m ncb mutters as beins, fifteen years ago, the military critic of the metropolitan newsrarer, the name of which, being translated, is the EL Petersburg News. As a soldier lie in eminent in the Russian array for his zeal in tne matter of military reorganization. Personally tbe General is small in size. Wten younger his hir wes dark.
