THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1882.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22

The question now is: Will Arthur pardon Guiieau? The exports of petroleum and petroleum products for the year 1881 amounted to I W gallons, valued at $34,505,045. Irving is not a punishable offense in Kentucky; if it were, and the State could col lect five cents on "each fib, wouldn't the "grand old Commonwealth"' have money to loan? "From time to time there ha been more or lam ta'lr i-viiHrninr the oolitic of Vice President tw, The talt mnv now stop. Mr. Davis has identified himself with a party the dinnerparty, Chicago Times.

Trces1:iv. that the present tariff was "the fmit of the most unwise and selfish legislation that ever stained the pages of history." Correct! And the Republican party ia reBponsible for it. Miwa comes from Colorado of new silver mines of fabulous richness. The1 new Eldorado is in the southwest corner of the State, and the camp is known a''co." which is now a nourishing town of ,x"0 inhabitants, situated on the Dolores River, and is now about two years old. Silver ore is found in all the mountains near Rico, and 5,000 locations for mines have already been made, and the average of the ore will run $70 to the ton, wnile sample assays will return $J00 to the ton. Rico is the richest mining region in Colorado, not excepting Leadville, and, from all accounts, is a good place to go for a man who has snap in him. Ox the 11th inst. Mr. Arthur, who drew the highest prize-in the lottery of assassination, gave his first Cabinet dinner. It was gorgeous. Mr. Arthur has been drawing his pri-a money for several months, and has got enough ahead to begin to launch out. It is said that he has laid in a splendid stock of choice wine? and what i3 known in Connecticut a? '-hard lienors," and is ready to begin a series of bacchanalian festivities that will wake the old White House tremble. The state dining room will be opened for the tirst time since the death of Garfield on to day, and a diplomatic dinner will be given. It is said that Arthur did not want to give a state dinner until "after (Juiteau rvas hung, as foreign Ministers can not see the propriety of being reticent upon the subject of the assassination, and persist in congratulating Arthur upon his splendid luck. ".Possibly Frelinghuysen will intimate to foreign Ministers the propriety of refraining from any allusion to the affair. If he does thai Arthur will feei much more at ease. Is the Empire State of New York there is s ach a place as Patchogue; it is in Suffolk County. Patchogue is a place of sufficient importance to have a Postotlice. The rostniaster of Tatchogue was a Garfield Republican, and highly popular with the Patchogue half-breeds. This Garneld hallbreed has been turned out of office to make room for a Stalwart, and Patchogue is in a slate of intense excitement. I'atchoguers of the Republican persuasion have held an indignation meeting and passed resolutions as follows: tesolved. That ia th3 removal of George D. Gerard, Postmaster of this village, against the wish of a majority of the Republican patrons f the o3icc, against the unanimous advice of the Republican County Committee and the petition of the entire body of Republican County otlicials, we recognize an attempt to pnichase the Republican party cf this village by patronage, for the use of men whose political doom has been pronounced by an indignaut people, by reason of their treachery and betrayal of sacred trust. Resolved. That we will neitherbe bought nor gold, and that we will maintain the principles of the Reriuliii'An party anainst the assault of foes -.vithout. and the treachery of insignificant fac tious within. whose sole strength lies ia their present opportunitv to wield onicial power. And we call upon every Garneld Republican in Suffolk County to stand by us, pledging a like support to them in every time of need. This sort of Stalwart deviltry is going on all over the country, and it is creating great indignation not only in Patchogue, but everywhere else that it crops out. The halfbreeds are beginning to call it "Guiteauism." Thpv mv it smlh ml smncl- r,f "hnllptis" and"inSpiration , of Grant and Conkling, of o0ü" and pot-lid medals. The Patchoguers should at once begin to raise a fund of 200 for the purpose of counteracting such proceedings. They are too utterly utter. PROTECTION AND WAGES. Those who declare that protection benefits workingmen by enhancing wages make the declaration for the purpose of hoodwinking the people. The deception has hitherto aided monopolists to pocket millions, and it is therefore not surprising that they continue to practice It. J. S. Moore, Eq , the well-known political economist, writes to the New York Evening Post, embodying statistics from the census and calculations based upon the statistics by which it is shown that in the' manufacture of iron and steel protection enriches the monopolist, but does not enhance wages or benefit the workingmen. Mr. Moore says: 1. There were ia 1380 1,005 establishments ih the United States working iron and steel. 2. There wa.s invested a. capital of f 2:JC,971,S4 (real and personal) in the business. 3. There were employed 110,978 hands ia the manufacture of iron aud steel. 4. These 140,078 hands received $05,476,755 in wages. 5. The total viJue of the whole production was S9ö,5ö7,65. Now, the $.5,476,7V total wages pcid on the f'vj.Sö'.GS-S worth of finished product represent a rifle less than $;s."5 wages on every 51(H) finished ;'(iv' Tn other words, if we deduct the .V -ITiV 70 wages from the finished product of I233.557.ö, we cetasum of S241.0,yoo. Now, a simple protection of 23 percent, on the above amount

would yield the sum of J55.458.C07, or only flS.OOOjing by documentary evidence that the Re

less than the whole wages paid. In short, if there i-s any truth in figures, it must be clearly seen that such aa enhancement of 23 j-er cent, on the manufactured product gives the American iron and steel producers the advantage of paying for the w hole labor. But, as itr might be objected that the price of the American goods is not enhanced to anything like the extent of the tariff, let us look at one of the largest of the metal productions namely, steel rails. In 18X0 we paid tl.478.6M.53 duty on 52,S00tons and 521 pounds of steel rails, which was S28 a ton. The cost of these 52,800 tons of steel rails was tl.C43.70OJ0, which is as near as possible l?1.37 per ton. Thus the duty of f2S a ton added brings the price up to S.j3.C7J, without freight or charges. The average price of steel rails in 180 was over CO. Hence, the full pound of fleth as to the tariff was btainca and, what Is stül more, the

average duty OO fctCtl mils was, If CaHulated ad ,

valorem, 89.9G per test, or nearly 00 per cent All these official figures aa to the price of steel rails abroad, the duty collected, and percentage, can be verified from "Commerce and Navigation of ISsO, page 532. It will be seen by the statements of Mr. Moore that protection, such as e present tariff provides, enable the manufacturers of iron and steel to tax the people to about the full extent of all they pay out for labor, leaving them the entire profits of the busi ness, REPUBLICANISM AND ROBBERY. Mr. William Royall has written a phani phlet, showing by facts and figures, not to be misunderstood, and that challenge investigation, the relations of President Arthur with Senator Mahone. of Virginia, In Mahone's efforts to organize repudiation, by which the honest creditors of Virginia were to be robbed. The scheme also contemplated the subversion of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Royall presents the case with such 1 an array of facts, figures and arguments, that the infamy of the Mahone scheme to plunder the creditors of Virginia is made so transparent that those who read the exhibit can not fail to comprehend the purpose of the Virginia Senator. Mr. Royall starts out with declarations made by Mahone and published in the New York Times, that during the life of President Garfield "the Rcadjuster party received very little aid from the Federal Government, but that as soon as President Arthur took the reins of government, matters changed, and the Readjustee had the full benefit of all the assistance that the Administration could give;" and this statement is fully corrobor ated by subsequent acts of the Administration. It is stated that early in the Virginia canvass the controlling men in the RepubIican party very earnestly opposed any coalition between the Republican party and the Readjuters. Mr. Royall adds: When President Garneld dk'd and General Arthur became President the complexion of matter in Virginia in this regard instantly and seri ously changed. It was communicated to each Federal office-holder ia the State that he must co operate with the Readjustees or his official head would pay the penalty, and a few obstinate ones were actually remove! and their places tilled with Read justers. It did not take- many lessons of this sort to teach the new political faith. The scene changed as if by magic. All semblance of organized Republican opposition to the Read justee disappeared, and the Readjuster party of Virginia swallowed the Republican party of Vir ginia, body and bones, at one gulp. The aid which the Federal Government gave to tho Read justers' canvass was not confined to roquirm? all Federal officers to assist them by way of their influence ani votes. James D. Ilrady, the Collector of Internal Revenue at Petersburg, Va., and C'hairmau of the Republican State Committee, issued the fol lowing circular: RErrr.LICAN state executive cokmittee. !

DEABSir.:Tlie inclosed copy of a letter from Colonel James D. Brady, Chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee, to me explains itself; and, as soliciting and receiving money for political purposes in the Navy Yard is prohibited by the Navy Department, I have decided to appeal to you through the nuil. I cm be found at my residence in Berkley every evening. Sundays excepteu, i rom o:w o ciocx p. m until 10 p. m.. or outside of tne Navy lard gate from 12 m. until 1 p. m.. from this date until November 1, 18sl. A receipt to each one contributing will be furnished, aud an early reply is rcsiectfully solicited. Very respectfully. W. II. Lyojts. Hf re it will be ßeen that the power of the Administration was at once brought to be a upon the anti-swindling party of Virginia, and this Infamous proceeding had the approval of Arthur. The Federal Government not only aporoved of the assessment of era&o the Government for the purposeof innuencing a State election, but in cases where officers or employes declined to pay they were promptly removed and these proceedings were for the purpose of robbing honest men of their money. Mr. Royall says : One may n-ad, my day in the year. In hun dreds of jours als, that the political party which Senator Mahone lords lu the State of Virginia is seeking to repudiate a large part of a public debt due by the State, which is admitted on all hands tobe justly due. One may also read in quite as many journals that the Supreme Court of the United States has consid ered the status of Virginia s debt, and has solemnly adjudged that she can not repudiate any part of it consistently with that clause in the Constitution of tho United State which prohibits State to pass lav, a impairing the obligation of contracts. Ia the effort, therefore, which the Senator's party is said to be making to repudiate this debt, it is brought face to face with the an thority of the Supreme Court. O O O C w It seems incredible that the official head of this Nation would embark the authority of the Nation in an enterprise, the purpose of which it to com mit violent robbery by plundering just creditors but how much more ir credible is it that be should embark the Nation's authority in such an enter prise, when the chief means for executing it are the nullification ani defeat of the judgments of the supreme judicial ptwer of the Nation Such propositions teem too monstrous for belief. The pamphlet explains thoroughly the financial situation of Virginia and gives the b3story of the debt of the State, which, if ; space permitted, we should like to repro uuce. But our purpose is achieved in show publican party is fully identified with Ma hone s swindling scheme. Mr. Royall scouts the idea that Mahone and his Republican allies can break the "solid South'' by advo cating robbery. He cays The President and the Republican party have not advanced one step toward dissolving the "solid bouth" by going into partnership with Senator Mahone and his party of Debt Rtpudi ators. They can not make even the Virginia rippie on the surface of any -other Southern State, j for the reason that there Is no debt controversy In : any other one. Rut, though they have done noth t ing toward dissolving the "solid South," they have done something else, which it behooves Northern men to look well to. They have organ Ized elements in the Southern States that are In J favor of repudiation and communism generally,

and having wwa the wind, let them now prepare

lot the whirlwind. Mr. Royall's pamphlet presents the case of Virginia's financial troubles with great clearness, and since the questions involved are likely to have an important place in the political campaign of the near future, they should be thoroughly understood by Demo crats generally. ' It is a case of stupendous infamy, with which the Republican party is fully identified, and which, to make successful, the . power and patronage of the Government have been freely expended.

Mr. Stephens was exceedingly happy, and showed remarkable strength. It appears to be decided by numerous journals that Mr. Blaine is to be a Presidential candidate of some kind or other. In which case it will be wise for him to make preparations to capture his own State. His hold on it Is very shaky. He has been going down hill there for some time. Globe Democrat.

"Gail Hamilton" is described in the editorial correspondence of the Argonaut as "prodding"' Oscar Wilde when he was presented to her, with the direct inquiry, "How long is this joke to last?" Its directness staggered Mr. Wilde, and, after r. stare of blank amazement, he replied, with an Interrogatory in every letter: "J-o-k-e? It is my life." In a recently published letter Governor Cullom, cf Illinois says that that State is out of debt, it having no obligations outstanding except about $20.000 of bonds, which have been called in, but have not been presented for paymentThe money to pay these is in the Treasury when ever they may be presented, and in the meantime they do not draw iuteiest. Such suggestions as the following fron the Cleveland Leader are calculated to set Governor Cullom thinking: "Secretary Lincoln is favorably spoken of as a candidate for United Stages Senator from Illinois next year. The wisdom, practical seDh8 aud quiet executive ability he has displayed since he became Secretary of War has increased his popularity at home and throughout the coun try. He would make a formidable candidate, and, if elected, an excellent Senator." Repudiation is catching. The Supreme Court of Tennessee, composed of Judges elected ia the tempest of repudiation, has declared that the act of that State funding the debt in 3 per cent, bonds unconstitutional aud void. This will open the sluice-gates of repudiation in Tennessee, and there will be a large crop of Mahones promptly to the front to dishonor the State and divide President Arthur's Postoffice and Revenue commissions. It was hoped that Virginia would stand alone in her shame, but there is now great danger that Tennessee may join her in her degradation. Philadelphia Times.

Four microphones, of Ader's system, were employed. Eight telephones were placed at a considerable distance from the orchestra, in the same house, which distance, however, was artificially lengthened, by means of cables, to four German miles. The tone of the wholo orchestra was surprising; the wind instrumcuts, it la true, dominate, and even a stringed orchestra sounds like a military band."

We have no doubt that all this dinner and medal nonsense is thoroughly distastefr.l to General Grant, to Mr. Conkling, to President Arthur and to the others who foolishly became leaders in the third-term movement last year. These gentlemen have long ago seen that they blundered, and it can not be pleasant to them to have their blunder and defeat brought once more conspicuously before the public, to cause renewed ridicule. These medal makers are simply the superserviccable friends from whom men of sense want always to be saved. New York Herald. Senator B-.air is mentioned as ono of the most absent-minded of men. He was invited by Se iatpr Davis to a dinner at vVelcker's the other evening, and while walking! in a dreamy manner along the corridor, saw a merry party in a private dining-room and entered. Captain Eads. wh was host, immediately making room for him. The Senator enjoyed the little dinner, and when it was concluded moved from the room with the others. Then there fell upon hl3 ears, the Philadelphia Press savs. the talk and lauch'er of another dinner party in the hotel. "What party is that?" asked the Senator. "Vice President Davb', sir," was th reply. The Senator from New Hampshire pulled his hat down over his eyes and went home. The next day he apologized to Judge Davis for not being present at his party. Captain Daniel Kadacm. who died the other dar at Klausenberg in his 102d year, was the last survivor of the military escort that accompanied the first Emperor Napoleon to Elba. Four years before the conclusion of the eighteenth century he entered the Austrian Army as a cadet, and served with distinction throughout tho wars waged by the Holy Alliance against France. For acts of valor at the battle of Wagram he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant; but, although he remained in the service until 1SJ6, he only obtained one additional step, and eventually retired on a Captaiu's pension at the close of a thirty years' military career. While his reg Iment was quartered in Tuscany, then an Austrian Duchy, he became very intimate wilb Giovanni Masta Ferretti, at that time a handsome young officer In the Pontifical Cavalry, i-nd sub sequently Pope under the title of Pius IX. Cap tain Kadacsi, in speaking of his former friend, FeretU, was wont to describe him s a "goednatured, sentimental lad, obviously unfit for a soldier's life, and th- butt of his more spirited aud vivacious comrades." KLI PERKINS. Three-Card Monte Men on the C, K. ttnd y. They Swindle a Poor Clergyman at Monmouth. Chicago Tribune. On tue Wing, Feb. 9. The reason why I urge upon every one, however smart, not to put too much confidence in his own smartness, will be seen further on. Yesterday I had to wait several hours at Monmouth, III., ä station on the Chicago, Ilurlington and Quincy Road. Monmouth has been fretfuented by three-card monte men for years. I have always known it, have often seen them there, aud have often written about them. Well, yesterday they were there again. One of them, with a Canada-Bill dialect, wanted to show me some strange "keerds" that he got up in Chicago." "What were you doing up there?" I asked, knowing that he was a three-card monte man. and feeling an interest in his modes. "Me and pap," he said, "took up some hogs. We took up a pile on 'em, an' made a heap; but pap he got swindled by a threekeerd monte man. Got near ruined. Hut I grabbed the keerds, and I'll show you how they done it." "Never mind, boys," I said, "I know all about it. I know the whole racket. Now I'll keep quiet, mind my own business, and let you try your monte-game on some one a little more fresh." The monte boy saw at once that I was posted, and soon turned bis attention to a good-looking, jolly, young and innocent clergyman iu the depot. Ina few moments I saw that the clergyman had become deeply interested. His interest grew as he watched the cards. There were three ordinary business cards like these: WILLOIGHBY, HILL A CO., Clothing. BADWAY'S ready relief, Dr. Kadway. PIPER HKIDSIFXK, John Osborne it Son. "I believe I can tell which card has Willoughby & Hill on it," said the inncceut clergyman. "All right try it, said the monte man, flopping them about. rhere, that one: aid the clergyman, smiling. bure enongu ne was rignt. "1 don't see how your poor father could lose all his money at such a -simple game as that," said the clergyman. "Why, your eyes can see the cards all the time." 'Suppose you bet $5 that you can tell," suggested the monte man. "All right, I'll risk it." said the clergyman, "though 1 don't like to win money that way." The cards were turned, and of course the poor, unsuspecting clergyman lost. Again he tried it, hoping to get his $5 back, but lost again. Then he put up his last dollar and lost that. Then, seeming to realize his Situation, he put bis hand to his head and walKed out of the depot. To think." he said, "that I, aclergvman. should cet caught at this jrarne. Why, I mhrht have known it was three-card monte I've no respect for myself." and he wiped his eyes like a man who felt the most acute condemnation. "Why don't you complain of the scound rel?" I said. "I would, but I'm a clergyman, and. if 1 thev should hear of ray sin and foolishness iu l'eona, I would be relieved. JVly poor family would suiter for my sins. 'Then I d keep quiet about it," I said "but let it be a lesson to you to never think vou know more than other people. 'Hut they ve got my last dollar, ana i want to po to Peoria.

'Very well, I said, "hand mc your cam and I will let you have $3, and you can send it to tne at the rainier House, Lhicago,when you get to Peoria," and I handed the poor man thejnoney. A moment afterwards I spoke to Uie agen at the depot about the wickedness J these monte men, and told him how I had to lend the TKir clergyman $j to get home. "And you lent him $3?:' "Yes, I lent the poor man the money.' "Well, by the great guns!" and then he swung his hat and yelled to the opera tor: "Bill, you know that ministerial-lookin man around here?" " You mean the capper for the three-card monte men, don t you; .billy Keyes Mis souri Hill." "Yes."

j New't Appointment a Assistant Secretary l 0f tu Treasury, 1 Special to the Sentinel: Wasiiixgto.v, Feb. H. The appointment of John C. New First Assistant Secretary was a surprise to the public though not to those on the inside, who have known for several days it would be made. Colonel New did not want iL He did feel that his services as Chairman of the State Committee should be recognized. While admitting cheerfully the peculiar services of Dorsey, Mr. New was very far from subscribing to the proposition that "Dorsey saved Indi ana, to be recognized as means to have an office. New did not want the Assistant Secretaryship and he did the Russian Mission. His Indiana friends, however.'wanted him to take the 'Assistant Secretaryship, as in that position he co ild help his friends better to office. He yielded finally to their solicitations and was nominated. He will be confirmed without opposition. Indianians are both elated and not enthusiastic over his nomination. They are clad be cause New bas been recognized and unhappy because it is not something better. They think he should have been in the Cabinet; still "something" has been done for Indiana, and the Hoosiers no longer sit on the ragged ede of despair. Applications for Treasury clerkships are now in order. n proof that he didn't want what he got, he wrote to a Representative this week tat he "would rather be a Wear than Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, but that he was n the handä of his friends." His friends thought of the Treasury clerkships, sighed, and decided in favor of them as against a residence at St. Petersburg, where he could do nothing for the boys. Mr. Ilannigan, of Indiana, stopping at the ortland Flats here, was taken suddenly seriously ill to-day. He is better to-nieht. Proceedings of the Guitean Trinl Are being clamored for by the people in all parts of the country, and members of Con gress and tho Senators are agreeing to the point of the resolution presented some time o, providing for the publication of several thousand volumes of the proceedings n full the incidents connected with the as sassination, his arrest, the trial, etc, all up to the conviction. The clamor of their con stituency hes brought the statesmen to this demand, and a3 the case is very voluminous the publication of say 20,000 volumes will incur a large ex pense. Negotiations are pending wkh the stenographers with a view to ascertaining the exact expense. Should it pass, the work will not be completed until the execution of Guiteau, and the request from the people in the country for the publication came prema ture at this time. Increasing the Salary of Indiana's District Judge. .Mr. reelle has introduced into the House bill which increases the salarv of the Judg3 of the District Court of the United States for the District of Indiana to $5,000 er year. Fighting Polygamy. , Washington, Feb. 14. Representative Willets, of Michigan, to-day submitted to the House the bill heretofore agreed upon by the Houe Judiciary Committee, to prevent persons living in bigamy or polygamy, from holding any civil oflice of trust or profit in any of the Territories of the United States and from being Delegates to Congress. Accompanying the bill is the report which declares no person shall under the uthority of Congress uold oince, who vioates the statute that is justified and de manded by the positive sentiment of civilzation. In conclusion, the report says: It matters not, in our judgment, whether this violation is excused or defended under the guise of religion. Your Committee recogniza the fact that this bill falls far short of what the country justly demand, and in many respects, we, as Representatives of the Nation, will fail in our duty, if we do not prosecute the measures looking tn a more radical treatment ol an evil, which. has in the last fifty years, intrenched itself n our political system. V e propose to sup plement this with other propositions that may perhaps elicit opposition as too radical, but which in our judgment, are absolutely necessary and these are being considered by the Committee. In the meantime we pro pose this measure, which is practical in its character, and likely to pass without any considerable dissent, and we hope will so commend itself to Congress that it may speedily become a law." Star Koute Cases. Washington, Feb. 14. John M. Hrew, ot Durango. Colo., was examined as a witness before the Grand Jurv to-dav in the Star Route cases. He was instructed to bring all etters received bv him from S. W. Dorsey, J. W. Dorsey, J. R. Miner and 31. A. Recrdell, or any of them, in relation to mail service in Colorado since July 1, 187S. Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 14. A Star Route case opened to-day with Fred E. Cl-ary, Post master of Sidney, on the stand. Jle refused to testify, lest he might criminate himself. The prosecution spent the greater part of the forenoon arguing to compel Cleary to testify. The Court overruled the attempt, as Cleary was one of the conspirators indicted. The testimony of persons who traveled the cidney-Deadwoou route at tne time covered by the indictments, and also of the lieadw'ood Postmaster, were taken. It is thought that the case will go to the Jury Saturday. Proposed Legislation on the Cattle Plague. Washington. Feb. 15. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day s nt to the Senate the manuscript of the report of the Commission on Cattle Fiague. it is a very voluminous document, covering a hundred pages of foolscap, and also a most exhaustive history of the plague, and consideration of its causes and treatment for the extinction of this ion? plague in infected districts. The Commission consider it necessary that the authority entrusted with that work should ho elotbed with the following powers by law: To abolish or regulate the markets and store cattle in the infected uistricts; to enioin the slaughter . at the fat markets in lnlectea districts ot an cattle entering those markets. Fat cattle for slaughter elsewhere can be ob tained at the bonded market; to prohibit all movement of cattle in infected districts, except under special license; to inspect all cattle in suspected districts; to slaughter all infected cattle, and in ' exceptional cases those that have been exposed to infection; to have the condemned cattle appraised and the owners liberally indemnihed; to pro hibit all exposure of cattle on highways in iinfenced or insecurely fenced places in the infected districts, or ot suspected eattle on a lot adjoining occupied by healthy cattle or bordericg on a highway; td prohibit the pasturage, unless under special license; to disinfect all premises, fodder and other articles that have been pressumably exposed to the infection; to institute and enforce such minor rulots as shall be demanded by the peculiar conditions of particular dis tricts. In order to carry out these suggestions the Commission recommend a liberal appropriation by Congress, to be distributed bv some desienatcd Federal officer. In case the work is delegated to the different States ihn Commission advise that a liberal appro priation be made, from the Federal Exchequer, sufficient to cover the greater part

of the outlay, and that this be paid over to the Kxecutive of the infecttKl Ntat cm ts

approval by a veterinary sanitary organization designated for the purpose. The Commission consisted of James Law," E. I". Thayer aud J. H. Sanders. Soteldo's Funeral. Washington, Feb. 15. The funeral of A. M. Soteldo took place this afternoon from his late residence on Iowa Circle. Every available pace in the lower' part of the house was occuoied, and many were compelled to remain outside. Many costly and beautiful iloral emblems were appropriately arranged about the casket. A large column and cross from the Baltimore American, with which journal Sotcldo was formerly connected, attracted special notice. Besides the professional associates of Soteldo, nearly every Washington bureau being represented, there were a number of Representatives of Congress and other prominent Government officers present The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: F. C. Bickfort, New York Tribune; Harry A. GoodWin, Washington Star; William C. McBride, Cincinnati Enquirer; Walter Allen, Boston Advertiser; General II. V. Hoynton, Cin cinnati Gazettee; F. P..Degraw.

The remains were deposited in the receiving vault at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The final interment will be in. Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, 0. Bullion Certificates. Wasuinüton, Feb. 15. Snowden, of the Philadelphia Mint, was before the House Committee on Coinage to-day in reference to the extension of that Mint, and in the course of the discussion ujwn coinage severally he recommended instead of establishing Branch Mints the Superintendents of the Assay Offices be authorized by the Government to issue bullion certificates for bullion deposited there. His recommendations were that Superintendents cf Assay Offices be empowered to receive both gold and silver bullion on deposit and issue to depositors certifieates in amounts of $10 and upwards therefor, payable to bearer, and that these certificates shall at once enter the general circulation of the country. Snowden said this would be much cheaper than establishing Branch Mints and would serve substantially the same purpose. The suggestion met with decided favor in the minds of the Committee. Snowden was asked if he did not think the issuance of these certificates would not bring silver ud to par with gold and he replied in the altinuative. The Committee will give thi3 subject due attention. Dakota ISonndaries. Washington, Feb. 1.5. An amended bill favoring the admission of Dakota will be favorably reported to the House. It provides that the new State shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries: " Commencing at a point on the west line of the State of Minnesota where forty-sixth degree north latitude intersects the same, thence south along the west boundary lines of the States of Minnesota and Iowa to a point at the intersection with the northern boundary line of the State of Nebraska, thence westerly aloug the northern boundary line of the State of Nebraska to the twenty-seventh meridian longitude west from Washington, thence north along the said twenty-seventh meridian to the forty-sixth degree north latitude, thence east along the forty -sixth degree north latitude to tlie place of beginning. . The bill also provides for the organization of a State Government. Chicago Markets. Chicago, Feb. 14. Wheat was active on speculative account, and an unsettled, feverish feeling developed. Foreign advices were again unfavorable, and under the same influences as yesterday prices again touched a lower point. On the up turn, however, shorts became more anxious tprovide for . outstanding contracts and covered freely, causing a sharp advance. Reports of failures in New Y'ork aad other centers added to the excitement, and figures hopped rapidly from one point to another until at the close prices wereabout fie below yesterday, enormous figure, n call sales reached an 4.000,000 bushels, and a heavy, drop, and exprices experienced citement ruled throughout.

An account of one of the most extraordinary lynchings on re cord is just received from Guinnet County, this State, the victim of the mob s vengeance being a negro named V m. femeal, whose only crime was that of stealing horses. The negro was employed to work on the plantation of Mr. Tom Dillard, a prominent planter, and was said to be. an industrious man, with a bad reputation, however, aa a thief. Some time last week a horse was stolen in the neighborhood, and suspicion was at once fixed upon the negro. So, upon Sun day night, a number ot men organized themselves and resolved to inxict what they considered proper punishment upon . the suspected man. They proceeded in a body to Mr. Dillard s place, broke open the cabin where the negro made his home, and carried him out. They then took turns in beating the poor wretch until he confessed the theft and piloted the mob to where the stolen horse was tied up in the woods. But the negro's punishment did not end with this, as the mod at onee procured a trace chain from a wagon, put it around the miserable man's neck and hanged him to a biack-jack tree, near the Jefferson and Lawrenceville Iload. where he was found hanging yesterday morning dead. There is much indignation over this atrocious a?t, and the perpetrators will be made to feel the law if they can be discovered. . . California Wheat. St. Louis, Feb. 14.
