THE TocBaAs LIBEL CAsK.-The
telegraph has several times informed
us of the fact that Major Tochman had
sued Henry Alma for libelIing his wife
in pamphlet published by said Alma.
The particular grounds of the suit do
not appear, but Washington letter
says that Alma asserts in his pamphlet
that Mrs. Torchman never was concern
ed in the Hungarian war in the active
manner which is ascribed TO her, but
that Sic was superintendent in hos
pi,el. He also says that she is a Po-
lsh woman, named Eisleldt
This pamphlet has produced greet
sensation among the Hungarian popu-
laton in the United States, aud they
have published card in the Tribune
numeously signed, vindcatng the repu-
tation of Jagcllo, and denouncing the
ISLANDERS Of Alma.

n-We trust that every Wing in
Rhode Island will sec that his name is
registered, and, where it is necessary,
that his tax is paid, within the time pres
cribed by law and we trust that no
man will confide this important duty to
any friend or Ward committee,-but let
him attend TO i, himself and then he will
be sure that there is no mistake or omis-
sion oi any kind, and he will be pre-
pared to vote al the important State
election in April.
Previous to last April it had been many
year since the poisonous fangs of 10.
cofocoism had been fastened upon Rhode
Island and il was under peculiar cir
cums,ances that our opponents then car
ried the State.
The locoiocos will make the most des-
perate efforts to secure the State again
in April. Mr.. Browne, one Of their lead
ing men, stated in his confidential DO
MADISON letter" that money ,cds the lead
ing element in elections IN Rhode Island,
and the means Of their success last
April; and he further asserted that the
prominent men Of their party now in Of
fee had the means, and would, in future,
as freely contribute those powerful sin.

Allen was a very obstinate man, but that
he would be very liberal in assisting
the finances OF the party with whom he
had recently allied himself

spent over twenty thousand dollars in
the election last Spring in this small
State but even with this important ele-
men, us MIR. Browne terms IT, they
could not have been successful had not
the Wing party been outrageously bar
tered away by few infamous traitors
at the Senatorial election, the January
previous. This dirty deed so dIsgusted
and enraged many Wings, thatno pow
er could bring them out in the Spring
campaign, and they remained quiet, and
permitted the State to pass into the
hands of our enemies. This was wrong;
it did no, remedy any injustice which
the IL traitors had brought upon us.-
This foul act OF treason should have
aroused all true Wings TO greater ei'
forts and nobler exertions,-and they
should have pu, their mark Of disappro.
baton NJ on the traitors so Iegibly and
indelIibly that it would have remained
with them forever, and perpctuauy sunk

dcnce Journal, last Spring, when Gov.
Lawrence was attempting to thrust
himself upon the people Of this State, as
Lieut.. Governor, says
The ablest Wing lawyer in the State,
was so dlsgusted with its course, and so
anxious that it should not be taken as
indicating the feeling of his party, that
he volunteered his services as counsel
and addressed them in favor of his right
to be recognized as voting citizen.
If the editor Of the Post knows any
thing about the ma tier, he is fully aware
that the above paragraph does not
speak the truth. MIR. Ames, the legal
gentleman alluded TO, above, is not so
easily disgusted as to come to Newporu
and volunteer his services against his
party,-and all for nothing. There was
no volunteering about the matter. Mr..
Ames was regularly employed as coun-
sci in the matter by Gov. Lawrence, and
appeared before the Board of Canvas
sers, as he would have done before any
other Court, and performed his work as
he would in any other case. He also
expressly stated 10 the Board that he
appeared there as Counsel for Governor
Lawrence, md at the latter's request,
but that he should vote against him
and sincerely hoped that he would be
defeated, because he was politically op-
posed TO him. The mater was post
poned from the morning to the after
noon, and Gov. Lawrence teIegraphed
TO Mr.. Ames to be here and he niorm-
ed Mr.. Turner that he had done 80, just
before the Board adjourned, in the
morning. In the afternoon, Mr.. Turner
talked against time fer nearly two hours,
in order that the matter might be delay
ed until Mr.. Ames arrived. This is the
true history Of the matter. II is nothing
to us whether Mr.. Ames volunteered or
whether he was paid Tor his services,
and we should not have alluded TO the
matter had not the Post first introduced
the subject, and asserted what was not
true.
The Post may contend that MIR. Ames
services were volunteered and entirely
gratuitous, but Mr.. Ames will not as
sert this, neither will Gov. Lawrence
We reply to the Post, in order to correc;
the erroneous impression which it's ar
ticle is intended to make, and not that
we care about the matter either way
Gov. Lawrence is perfectly sensible that
his Lieu tenant Governorship has been
an expensive honor. He has had TO
bieed well for it, as the politicians say.
We suspect that the Governor thinks
the price of votes on Block Lsand rath-
er hight beats Tammany Hall all
out. The Governor did wrong in man
ifcSting to the Democracy his willing
ness to assist them in pecuniary view
They are never modest about these
matters, at any ,ime,-and when they
have a willing hint, they are night up TO
the mark, particularly when that poiti-
cal Christian hero, Deacon Oman, is the
officiating scribe,-ior the Deacon con-
scientifically considers it all important
that man should bleed literally both
in religion and politics, in order to be
acceptable to the God whom he wor-
ships, and TO secure salvation in the
heaven which the Deacon has always
been squirting at.

Col. Thomas Swords, OF the Quarter
Masters Department. who left Fort
Leavenworth in May last, OIL tour Of
inspection TO the different military posts
in New Mexico, returned to Fort l.. on
the 2lst Of September. He has made,
we understand, tho -ough inspection
Of that country, and his report, which
will accompany the Quarter Master
Generals annual Report TO Congress,
at their approaching session, will be an
interesting and instructive document
Since Col. Summers arrival in New
Mexico, and his assuming command OF
the Ninth Military Department, many
important changes has taken place. He
has broken up the Posts at Santa Fe,
Dona Ana, FL Paso del Norte, Socono,
Albuquerque, Soros, Rayado and La
Vegas. He has Withdrawn the troops
from the cities and towns, where they
were comparatively useless, and where
their habits of idlencss were telling sad
ly upon their morals ; and he has taken
them with him on the Navajoe e1pedt-
ion, where the country will be likely to
derive some benefit from their existence.
The following is list OF the Posts es-
tablished, or TO be established, in the
Ninth Military Department, together
with the names OF the permanent Com
manders -

quence Of the discovery, as they sup
pose, that they are the legal heirs Of one
William Jennings, of Acton Place, Lon
don, who died intes,ate in 1898, leaving
an immense estate, in consols, local
stocks, annuities. bank deposits, &C.,
valued according to a statement made

claimants have united. and empowered
Mr.. J. b. PRicg, Of Philadelphia, their
agent, who has been in London for some
months, acting in concert with able
counsel there. Late advices from the
agent state, that the British authorities
acknowledge the title to be vested in
American heirs; they are therefore in
confident expectation Of being able to
make out the case. The claimants have
organized, and appointed J. w. Cooper,

"He appeared rather absent. A short
time after he had taken leave and left
the room with his daughter, we heard
knock at the door; OH snying " come
in," Mr.. Prescott appeared again, and
said he had left his cane there. He
looked, and we looked, chairs were in
spected, sofas pushed about, and tables
trotted out from their places, when pre-
scntly heard subducd exclamation
from Mr.. Prescott, who had found the
cane lin his hand, where | certainly did
not think OF looking Tor il. He laughed
good humoredly at his iorgeslulncss, and
he and his cane vanished presently to-
gether."
