THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 6, 1881.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6. Fomi of the Republican organs of the Em pire are railing upon Garfield to resign. But, with $50,000 s year in sight, Garfield will hang on to his office like an ichneumon to a eroco.Iile's throat. Tke Republicans continue to wrestle with the j-opalar rote for President to show that Garreld's vote was larger than Hancock's, bat it is no use. Hancock's vote was the Jarp "t by more than 8,000. It ie.said of Senator Ben Harrison that he overhauls "his mail" in a way showing "more character" than any other Senator, and that he was quick to take "his rank" in the Senate. 'Tis just as a nickel takes its rank when mixed in with fall legal tender coin?. The New York Spirit of the Times bincnncea a small plurality for General Garfield after what it claims to have made a e.irt-ul revision of the returns. The Baltimore San and Cincinnati Enquirer made estimates a short time ago, after having made carefal inquiry of official authority in everv taie, and the result as announced showed a plurality for General Hancock of from 0,000 to 8,000. Tr E Kew York Produce Exchange has declared that large quantities of cheese are being manufactured from skim milk and lard, and reports that "if this adulteration it not stopped, or at least properly branded, our export trade in cheese, now grown to largo proportions, and outstripping the English creameries in their own country, will bo severely injured. The foreign consumers will not put up with adulterations which they had purchased for the genuine article." Is it not about time for the legislatures, by fceay penalties, to put a stop to this food adulteration scoundrelism? Tke Cabinet ladies have resolved not to return calls, but just send around their cards. The reception business and returning calls is too expensive. Mrs. Grundy writ' s that "the wife of a member of General Grant's Cabinet said that $40 worth of visiting cards lasted her but little more than four weeks. The receptions on Wednesday af te-noons, when refrehments are provided, usually cost $30 or $70 for the simple collation set and the extra servants in attendance. Kvi n the simplest style of evening entertainment for the large number a member of the "abinet must invite can not cost less than $300. A gentleman who gave four during the past season in order to ask, if possible, all on his wife's visiting list, which numbers 1,200 persons, says they cost him over $1,100. That's a good slice out of a sal. ry of say $.3,000 per annum just for evening parties, in addition to necessary household expenses." If Mrs. Grundy is correct, a movement may be made to increase the salaries of Cabinet officers so as to cover the oxpvrüre of receptions and visiting cards. J' cu Miller tells of two men, neighbors, old Californians, both rich and respected. In 1352, when dying and destitute emigrants literally crawled on hands and knees over the Sierras, trying to reach the settlements, one of these men exhausted his :ncans to relieve their distress, and the Other increased his riches by charging fabuous prices for every thing he sold the starving emigrants. The ctnerous man died a b gear in Idaho, andan uninscribed bowlder marks his grave. Speaking of the other man, Miller says: "The children of the Prince are in Paris. Upheld by his colos. -sal wealth their lives seem to embrace the universal world. He is my friend. He buys all my books, and reads every line I write. When he comes to this sketch he will understand it. And he ought to understand, too, that all the respect, admiration and love which the new land once gave thee two men gathers around and is buried beneath that moss-grown granite stov', and that I know, even with all his show of splendor, that his heart is as cold ana as empty as that dead man's hand." It is thus that wealth and meanness are sometimes so intimately associated as to make their unfortunate pofscssor doubly repulsive. Miller should name the man be styles the "Prince." THE BREAD AND MEAT CONFLICT. The bread and meat conflict has already set in, and it will be irrepressible to a greater extent than that which William H. Seward prognosticated. The conflict is between Europe and America, and will be fought at long range, but it will not be the less definite in cause and effect. America has boundless resources of bread and meat. Europe is deficient in these grand essentials of life, growth and prosperity. Europe has a population of 300,000,000, the United gute 50,000,000. But the conflict is not to be settled by standing armies, and as a consequence Europe's numerical strength is its danger and its weakness. Europe can not feed herself. Every year brings famine nearer to her hungry millions, while in this co'intry no one is capable of estimating its food productiveness. With the decline of Enivpe, America increases in power. Hence "the conflict is one of material resources." There was a time when cotton was "king," and even now in the affairs of the world his scepter is not to be disregarded. But of late years bread and meat claim a divine rirht to have a voice in ruling the world, and Europe is displsed to acknowledge their authority. America wheat and flour, r-American meat, fresh and salted, American butter and cheese, find a ready market in Europe. It is well said that "in every country in Europe the agricultural classes are profoundly stirred by the aggressions of American food products. Russia is despondent over the fact that her farmers have lost thtir hold upon the wheat export tade and at St. Petersburg the foiemost questioi. is what can be done to snield the peasants against the inroads of American compe;5tion. Hungary, which has long enjoyed a profitable milling trade, finds herself underBold by United States flour, and is demand ing import duties calculated to exclude its Germany recently enhanced her duties on all imports of cereals and animal food, for the sole purpose of helping her farmers as against those of the United gutes. France is supplying herself with wheat and Sour to an unprecedented extant

from our porta, and the Prench Agricul

tural Society baa asked the Government to increase the duties on American farm pro ducts. The Government' of. that country has so far conceded to the fears of the farmers as to make the occasion of a few arrivals of imperfect American pork the pretext for a total prohibition of its importation. Kngland is bo largely dependent upon foreign supplies of food that, as a Nation, she rather welcomes than dreads the progress of our agriculture; but, nevertheless, her farmers are suffering most acutely from the competition of our grain and our beef, and large numbers of the mailer landholders - have been ruined within the last two years." France and Germany are trying to postpone the more serious consequences of the conflict by decrees which shut out of their markets American food. But this policy will only mate matters worse, and Bismarck's move to keep Germans at home only surrounds his Government with dangers as formidable as those which exist in Russia. "This condition of things," says a contemporary, "is forcing upon European statesmen and Governments a most obstinat class of problems. The difficulties they will have to face in the near future are such as these: The impoverishment of their agricultural population; the consequent suffering of the industrial and trading classes; the curtailment of the in comes of the land-owners; the removal o! obstacles to the distributing of land among those who can use it best; the discontent of the people, accompanied with the agitation of every sort of social 'ism, nihilism, socialism, communism, anti-rentisni, etc; resistance to taxation, and opposition to conscription and standing armies. Whoever fails to see that the great impelling force behind the pressure of these problems is the illimitable fertility of the resources of the United Sues, and especially of it virgin lands, will have a very imperfect comprehension of the remedy to be provided." While European statesmen are deliberating, the irrepressible conflict is growing in alarming proportions in Euroie. The peace of Europe was never in greater danger. America has bread and meat in abundance, and every ship load that goes to Europe tells of i land of plenty. of liberty where absolutism is unknown, and where the down-trodden victims of Kings and potentates, who are rated as "food for powder," as they eat American food take in more or less of the American spirit of independence, and are more and more resolved to be free. CLIPPINGS. JrrxiK Clifford has been removed from Washingtpn to his Portland home. Senator Mihone has a daughter and two sons who are old enough to enter society. Therk are in the Senate two Camerons, two Platts, two Pa vi es, two Joneses, and two Hills. Rev. Dr. Cuylkr, of Brooklyn. Is about to start for a visit to Europe and tae Holy Land. Ills congregation presented him a purse of $1,700. Ex-Skmator Pomkkoy, of Kansas, is at present in North Carolina, managing a gold mine with success, lie has also invented a machine for ex tracting gold from quartz rock. John Longstreet, son of General Longstreet, is going to Constantinople, having been appointed Marshal of the United States Consular Court there. Mahonk was burned in effigy at Athens, Ga., by the studeuta of the Georgia State Universi y. In la6H Senator Brown was also burned in effigy by the students attending the same Institution. A yocno fellow in Audubon County, Mo., re cently defended himself in a breach of promise suit on the ground that a contract entered into on Sunday night was not legally binding. He won his case. Secretary Dt.AiNK has been absent from the Fiate Department since Saturday with a severe cold, which ha affected his eyes. He attended the Cabinet meeting yesterday, but returned immediately to his residence. Adklima Pattt Is fond of billiards, and once asked Vigneaux : "Can you not teach me to play as you do?" Vigneaux replied: "Yes, if you will teach me to sing like you." There is a chance here to say something about nursing the bawls. Sxmator Brown, of Georgia, is a man of blonde complexion and thin and positive face. He is erect and dignified; white hair fringes his bead and a white curtain of beard hangs from his chin in a straight and precise fashion. Ilia voice is clear and his enunciation distinct. Qceejc YictoriVs gold and silver plate which is kept at Windsor is said to be worth 1 13.000,000. When the Queen entertained the late Czar shortly after the marriage of his daughter to the Duke of Edinburgh, gold plate to the value of $10.000,000 was used. The Custodianship of the g'ld pantry at Windsor is considered an office o great trust. Three gentlemen two of whom were Marshal Jewell and New, of Indiana were at a Washington Hotel, when New said, "It seem as If Indiana ingoing to get nothing, although It elected Garfield because it.was the pivotal State." "Pivotal Slate?" said Jewell; "why, I read a recent speech of yours, and. if I remember, you thought that Dorsey was the pivotal State." ' , Thx late Czar U said to hare been not so apprehensive of plots against him during the last few weeks of his life as he was last year; so that he fell into the old routine he waa accustomed to follow before the days of the duel between Nihilism and Imperialism. His new wife, however, had not an easy moment when he was away from her. Although a woman of easy temper and lymphatic, ahe was a prey to the gloomiest apprehensions whenever he went abroad, and his return was always the occasion of a domestic festival. When Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Buand, the editor of Pjuch. meet there is apt to be, the Cuckeosays, no', a little exacerbation of feeling. The other ev'lug at a dinner-table, notwithstanding their having been placed as far as possible apart, on Mr. Gilbert making some remark w hich created a laugh, Mr. Buruand looked up and said, "What w.n that, Gilbert? One ot those good things, I suppose, which you send to Punch, but which never appear?" To which Mr. Gilbert made the telling retort: "Well, I don't know who sends the g Kd things,' but there is one thing certain they dou't appear." Torter's Murderer Killed.

GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

FLOODED, A Tad ot Two Cities Which Are Deleted Witt Water. Piute, Dak., March 29. Unusual winter weather has resulted in terrible floods In this region as the snow melts. Winter beginning so early and suddesTy, caught several steamers on mid-stream between Yankton and Benton, which ha been f roten In all winter, their loads being taken off by team. The Indians and old settlers predicted terrible floods in the spring, but the Yellowstone rise came and went with no damage, and then 'the Tongue River breaking, which drowned a few Indians and ponies, but made so Impression upon the Missouri. However, on March 20 the Missouri beganto.rie.andeople in Kurt Pierre looked to the time when they must move from the bottom lands qnickly, but on this side no preparations were made. The water came higher and higher, bearing ice three feet thick. The weather tor a few days preceding March 27 waa very warm, melting the snow rapidly, but seeming to have no effect noon the ice. During the 2Ctb the fresh, warm wind from the southwest blew all day long up the stream at this point, and the gale freshened at njerht. About midnight the ice broke up and began to run out. On the morning of the 17th the river resented a Brand specta cle of power and terror as It rolled along, bringing euonnoDS blocks of ice. There came suddenly a perceptible check to the m -Uon, and simultaneously a sudden rise in the water amounting to as mueh as four feet in ten minutes. This caused a sudden stampede from the lower portion of Port Pierre, for, with a sudden jerk, the level ! the river came up to the level of the streets. Then there was rushing to and from, with loud calls for help. Teams were in great demand, household goods were hastily thrown Into pass lng vehicles, and all the town was in motion. Toward the bluff the water was soon three feet deep. Boats took the place of teams, and by 3 o'clock the water was up to the floors of all hon es. From the first the ice which had remained stationary in the channel gorged against an island Just below. One could see icy walls steadily gaining the height at the upper point of tbe island, and as steadily toe surlace of the river rising, inch oy Inch, and then it gained continually. Front second-story of windows could even see houses in Fort Pierre being hustled about, crushed or turned over. an1 also people putting up tents and making all tinds of camps upon the Clay Hills, while their property and comfortable homes were being destroyed. Before sundown all had come to some order, and the water reached a depth of two and a half feet on the floors, As darkness crme on tho fear on all sides was augmented. At about 9 p. m. a audden gust sent great thick Ice chunks over the banks above, and they came tearing down among the buildings like great sledge hammers, and when one would strike a house there would be a crash and roar which led many to believe the town was being torn in pieces. Many who had the temerity to remain iu the second storiea over night began to ring bells, fire guns, and with loud calls attract attention and seek help to gain the friendly bluffs. Soon after this the water began to fall and at tbe same time the river set up a roar which w as a song of gladness for the gorge had broken. The waters rapidly receded and at this time the river stands just below the lower front door sills. In Pierre some bouses bad been moved from their foundations, and lnmberniles floated off. Lous about SöO.OOS. Fort Pierre'a loss Is undoubtedly much greater it being the lower, and the ice having pushed up over the banks and into the town like a glacier. Buned houses and signs are visible. From here out all communication is cut off. , BIO BUSINESS. W Review of the Business oC the Country for the Past Week. Nr.w York. March 30. From the Public: "There is an unusual feature in Clearing Mouse returns this week. There is but one important city that reports smaller exchanges than those of the corresponding week last year, and that city. strange to to say, is Chicago. Although the increase at some points is remarkably high, and the aggregate Increase outside of Kew York, and at this city, Is greater than it was last week, never theless the transactions are smaller. The reason is. last year the pause in operations which usually preceues Apni settlements was generally more marked and important than it has been this year, but the movement at Chicago last vear waaexceptlonably sustained, while the usual decrease in the amount of exchanges as tbe mouth draws near its end fully appears this season. The large transactions at New Orleans are probably due in part to tbe extraordinary grain movement, to which reference is elsewhere made. The increase at Louisville is remarkably large, not only for a single week, but ever since the new rear began, and no explanation of it is per ceivable, except the extraordinary Increase in the general business of that city. The following table ahowa the amount of exchange for the week ending March 19 at San Francisco, and March 26 at other a ties: New York ..... $ IOff Is . . aavaaaa iMH.SOMMM Mill iminwu Philadelphia 774,684.705 M.M0.822 45.2W.30.S 24,815,157 1:1.14.400 13.421 ,40S 13.420.6M ll.17S.6fi8 V.71 8,197 S.8.S.614 6,409.103 4.403,934 3.NO6.4O0 1.800,000 1.794.: 1.432.194 WS.774 S2H.319 204.486 Cincinnati ...

Apart from the dealings in stock, exchanges at New York were unusually amall last week, and probably amounted to little more than $sw,000,uoo. differing not much fron the net exchanges of the corresponding week last year. The condi lion of trade, however, appears to have beeu more favorable for the moment at several other cities than here. In the aggregate, the business of the country is wonderfully well sustained. It was about a year ago, as all remember, that the tremendous burst of speculation in merchandise culminated with imports amounting to more than Sl'J 000.000 at New York aloue. nearly SIO.000,000 at Boston, and over Sö.OOO.OOO at Philadelphia. In all departments of trade the movement was un naturally rapid and prices were artificial ly high. In spite of the decline in prices and the com para -tive absence of speculative excitement at this time, exchanger exceed the corresponding week of last week, both largely In the aggregate and at almost every city in the country. Certainly the inference Is not discouraging to one, although there has been some decrease in activity I late. llKATä TAKXKK. A Lady Uvea Four Months Without Food Because It Nauseates. Detroit, Mich., March 29. A remarkable case qf abstinence from food is now in existence at Battle Creek, this State. Last October Mrs. Henry Ingram had some teeth pulled: this brought on nausea and inability to retain food. The woman is aaid to be still alive, having neither eaten nor drank anything siuce October. She is nourished by belüg bathed in beef tea, milk, etc.. which act by absorption. The pores of the skin absorb nearly a a u art a day from these baths. Shefeela a sort of hunger, which la soon allayed by the bath, after which she feels as II she had eaten. A bath in water will quench her thirst. How much loneer she can live is a problem.

Rouuakoff protets be was not in any way admitted to the councils of the conspirators, but was merely a fellow-worker. He asserts that the Nihilists have had no money : that there was considerable dismrreement among them, and that they would probably have dispersed had their last attempt failed. Koussakoff setms to be a Nihilist pure and simple, having no project or desire bevond the destruction of the present order of things. PieroflVky and Jealahoff avow the object of their operation was to terrorize the country, disarrange the machinery of Government, and bring about, if possible, a Socialistic Republic after the pattern of the Paris Commune.

The people were shocked this morning to receive tbe news of the killing of Seth McKinney by Ira Miller, at Gilman Station ten milts west of here, but evening. Both men formerly lived here and are well knows in this County. The facts are as follows, the information being gleaned from sn eye-witness: At 9 o'clock last evening, at Gil man, a small station on the Lake Erie and Westers Railway, ten miles west of here, Ira Miller, son of Jacob Miller, the well-known merchant and farmer of this County, while engaged in a q narre 1 with Seth McKinney, a former resident of Mcncie, drew a pistol and shot him through the heart. It is said that at one time last summer McKinney made the drawing for a new gate which he intended having patented (or at least said he se intended), and that he put up an arrangement with an accomplice whereby the right of certain territory was traded to a gentleman aortb of Muncle. The gentleman who traded for the territory commenced looking about with a view to the manufacture of the gate, when McKinney, learning of the transaction, went to him, and showing him his plats and drawings, explained that the person who hid traded the right for the gate did it without authority. The outcome of the visit was McKinney received a fine young horse, in compromise of the unauthorized purchase, and to quiet his nerves in the matter. Ira Miller learned of this transaction, and believing the gentlemen purchased the right of the gate, had been swindled, so stated to a party when in Muncie. This assertion reached tbe ears of the purchaser, who went to see Miller and McKinney. and Gillman. Some trouble arose between the genius and the buyer, and Miller, being the instigator, by the declaration he had made to a party in this city, was brought directly into the trouble. It resulted in making Miller and McKinney deadly enemies. At tbe place and time stated above Miller and McKinney met. It was In front of Jacob Miller's Lstore. A quarrel ensued. The conversation finally ended abruptly. Both men uttered oaths, and Miller drew a pistol and fired. Tbe ball entered McKlnney's left breast and penetrated his heart McKinney walked about twenty feet and fell dead. Ira walked into his father's store, gave the keys to the clerk, then went out to his horse, and springing on his horse rode rapidly away to his father's home, about four alles distant Before leaving Gilman young Miller remarked to some one that he Intended going t Anderson and de livering himself up to the Sheriff of Madison County, in which County the shooting occurred. It la understood that Ira concluded, after consulting his parents, that it would be best for him to not attempt to escape, but remain and trust in the mercy of the law. It is rumored here to-night that Miller went to Anderson and gave himself up, this morning, but the Sentinel correspondent has no positive information to that effect. The Coroner of Madison County is holding an inquest over the remains of the deceased, at GQman. The Gilman Murder. Special to the Sea ti nel : Mcncie, Ind.. March 31. The following is the Coroner's verdict in the tragedy at Gilman: I, the undersigned. Coroner of Madison County to inquire into and a true presentment make In what manner and by whom, feeth McKfnny came to his death, whose body was found March as, 1881. at Gilman Station, Monroe Township.

It is probable that he will soon be called to answer to the charze oi manslaughter.

THE CREAM OF THE. "SPECIALS "

,A Young; Coeple Tarred sad Feathered. A Kew York Sun special f;om Gil boa. a little town among the Cstskills of Kew York,' dated March 29. gives the particulars of the recent tarring and feathering of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cantine by a party of eight masked men. The ac count says: Mrs. Can tine is nineteeoyears old, and herhusband is twenty-two. The woman aays sne left her first husband on account of his drunkenness, and that, being too poor to get a divorce, she ai.d Can Uue went betöre Justice of the Peace Bbafer and were sworn together. The proceeding scandal ized the neighborhood, and the couple received further censure on account of the alleged attempt oi umiine 10 levy piacamaii on utcw jodiisod, the village storekeeper, by charging him with trying to seduce Mrs. Cantlne. The woman said to the correspondent: "At midnight last Wednesday we were awakened by the bursting- in of the door. I saw a crowd of men coming into the kitchen. Some of them had maks on, and all of them had their faces blackened. One of the men struck my husband in the face, and then four grabbed him by his arms and legs and pulled him out ou the floor and stripped him. He kept saying, 'Boys, let me up.' They threw him face down ou the door, and held him there while they put the tar aud feathers on hire. There were eight men in all. As soon as the flrv four had pulled my husband out of bed the otlXr four seixed me. Two of them held my arms down by my side as I sat on the side of the bed. Only one man handled tbe tar. and so I bad to ait on the edge of the bed and see mv husband ill-treated. There were pint cups of tar. One cupful they used on him and the other on me. A man with mittens on dipped the mittens In the tar and spread it all over mv husband's body. When he had spread it all over mm tney put on feathers. When thev had finished with my husband they carried him to a corner of the kitchen, where two men held him down on tbe floor Then the other six got around me. They put me down on the noor, the same as they did him. The man with the mittens began by puttiug tar in my face and eyes. It made ray eyes smart at first and blinded me.

So iar as 1 can lexin,4 he added, "the citizens of the place seem to be nea;ly unanimous in his favor.'' Congressman I supposed I was the Representative of my District, and that my wishes would be respected. They were not during the last Administration, and I suppose they will not be during this one. The President Certainly, fir: you are the Itepresentative of your District, and I am desirous of availing myself of your information concerning the offices in your District: but the appointing power is lodged with me. and not with the Kep resentatives ot tbe different Districts, and I do not intend to divest myself of my proper authority or responsibility in such matters. Vitriol Throwing;. That fiendish erf me of vitriol throwing seems to be increasing. A Whitehall, Mich., dispatch of the 30th to the Chicago Times, aays: The wife of A. Flagstaff, Captain of the propeller Swallow, made a successful attempt to disfigure for life a young girl named Emma Drake, who warks as servant at the Sifmopolltan Hotel, by throwing twelve ounces of sulphuric acid in her face. Some time ago this girl was employed in Mr. Flafftuaff s family as a domestic. At that time jealousy was excited in Mrs. Flagstaff's mind, and she determined on revenge. Mrs. Flagstaff lives three miles out cf Montague. This afternoon she drove to Whitehall, and after going to a couple of drug stores, obtained the acid, went to the hotel, called for Emma, and theu threw the acid all over her. With a shriek of agony, the girl fell into the arms of others. Her nose, ears, left shoulder and breast are horribly burned, aud one eye is seriously injured. The woman was arrested and thrown into Jail to await examination. Will Grow Wheat Extensively.

A train consisting of thirty freight and two passenger cars will start to-morrow morning, loaded with horses, agricultural implements, etc. The party, including tbe help engaged to break the land, will number seventy persons. It is estimated that the capital invested aud to be invested will aggregate 8300,000. now a Bebel Won flit Pardon. A special to the New York Times says: This stoiy is often told la and about Richmond of an interview said to have occurred just after Lee's surrender between Secretary Stanton aud Major Drewry. commander at Drewry'a Bluff, at the time of the attack ispon it by the Union fleet, in May, IhGl The .Major, who had been a dry goods merchant in Richmond before the War, and who is a coiomon seuse man of the world, knowing that all further resistance was vain, went at once to Washingiou to see the Secretary of War. Very doubtful whether Stanton, always stern and usually overbearing, would see him if he knew his name and mission, he went Into the Secretary's private office unannounced. In bis presence tbe ex-KibcI. without auy preamble, saict: "Mr. Secretary, I am Major A. H. Drewry, of Richmond. I have fought against the Federals as well as I could for four years. But now the War is over, aa l I. want to go to work again. I have hundreds of acres of wheat land on the James. They have been sadly neglected all this time, and they ned my immediate attention. WeV iave been whipped, and I have got seuse enough to know iu Now that peace has come I want my pardon.." "On what ground!" mquirea bunion, severe' ly "First, on the enonnds of having had fiirhtintr enough ; secondly, because 1 mtve helped to lm prove your navy by showing you now poor wood en ships arc in action. After I had driven oft the Galena. Aroostocx at a toe otner vessels you began to build iron boats, and made your navy what it oucht to have been at the start. You owe me a pardon for the valuable information I fia nished to your eause. Stanton relaxed as the Major went on. and. finally, pleased with his candur and boldness, in vited him to call the next d.v .at a certain hour Drewry was prompt The o had a long talk, the Secretary gaining much needed information about the so .tu. its condition and prospects, ana handed the Virginian his pardon. The Major kept hia word. He went to work Immediately, aad has kept to work ever since without troubling himself about politics or political theories. DiasenstoBB lrath Cabinet. The Kew York neraltf's Washington special says; It is net. possible -or expedient any longer to conceal the fact that there is serious trouble in the Cabinet Some of the President's nominations have caused feelings which mav result in the resignation of two of it members. The nomination of Mr. William. E. Chandler to be Solicitor of the Treasury was, it is said, made against the proteat of Attorney General MacVeagh, and without his consent. The SoSScltor General is the right arm of an Attorney General, his deputy and mainstay. The President has set his heart on having Mr. Chandler occupy this place. His name is now before tho Senate lor confirmation, and It is reported this evening on what seems entirely trustworthy authority that the President who, at one time, it is believed, thought of recalling Mr. Chandler's name, had determined not to do so. It is possible, of course, that Mr. chandler may not be confirmed, aad Mr. Phillips, who has been Solicitor General to a number of yeara, and who naaaecuned tne Judgesnipon tne Court of Claims, offered him the other day by the President would in that case retain tbe solicitor Generalship, tin less the President should, after the adjournment of the Senate, remove him, and put Mr. Chandler in nil place. There are rumors current this even ing that if the Seriate should confirm Mr. Chandler to De solicitor ueneral, Mr. uacYeagn wui retire from the Attorney Generalship, holdiug Mr. Chandler's appointment as evidence athat tne Attorney ueneral does sot possess tne con naenceoi tne rreeiaent. lb nomination oi Mr. Robertson to be Collector of ,New York is the cause ol another Cabinet trouble. It is opposed by not only tbe two Senators from New York and ie ice resident, but also by Postmaster uen ual Jamea.

In reply to luauiries br vour correspondent to day. Mr. Bell said that though at first convinced. tnat I'hiip- was the forger of the Morey letter, aubsequect investigation had satiMied him that this letter wa not written by Phil p or by any one iu the office of the paper in which it was orhduallv yublished. The prosecutiou had a case to go to a ury wlthr but the strength of tbe defense was much great than it appeared on the preliminary examination. When asked for the reasons which led to his change oi opinion in the matter, Mr. Bell said that for the present they must remain secret The investigation had not been abandoned, hut an inquiry was making in a new direction, and this had not advanced far enough to justify mm in maaaig 1 a nature puDiic by inquiry ei Mr. Bell ana reference to the re port of the examination in the Philp case, it was found that net less tbau four experts iu hiud writ ing -Messrs. soutaworth, Payne, Ames and Ha gau gave testimony to the" effect that in their, opinion the Morey letter was written by Philp This judsrment wae- reached after they had made a comparison of that letter, or a lithographic copy of the same, wüa specimens of Pnilp's acknowledged handwriting. The same experts have been witnesses in the ease of Cadet Whitaker. and at least three of theak have testified that they believed he was- the writer of "the note ot warning." As to the Philp case, however, Mr. Bell said that be be'Jeved Messrs. South worth and Hagau modified their views considerably after their first examination la the matter. Sweet Revenge.

A little girl ia the upper part of the city has learned the art of creating electricity by sliding oer a carpet, and when she touches her fineer to a person's nose a brieht spark is emitted,, and she calls this "sparking." The other day ehe tapped on the room door of a bachelor, who lives in the same house,. clerical gentleman, very gen tly, and lisped "May I come in and spark you?" The bachelor was unacquainted with the meaning of the term in the sense as used by the little lady, and was quite shocked at first at her precocity, but after she hadtried her skill upon him;and elicited a spark from his nose, he felt quite relieved, and, in fact, rather enjoyed the fun.
