mediate war. Upon his death in 1899
the grade which had bsen Designed for
him alone, expired with him; and al
though occasionaliy it's revival was sug-
gested in Congress, it wss never done nm
til several years after the Mexican var.
The long and brilliant services Of Gen.
Scott, ranging through the war Of 1919
and the Florida and Mexican wars, led
to the renewal of the grade by brsvst,
under the act Of Feb. 18th, 1855. Gen
eral Scott, however, having been placed
on the retired list, 10 1861, his brsvet
title expired, and it is proposed now to
revive the full grade and confer the title
on Gen. Grant.

CoNTRADIcTED.-The rumor that has
been circulated on our streets for a day

report was dated on the l4th, and last
evening Mrs. Duke received letter from
her husband, written on the 10th instant,
which proves conclusively that the rumor
was false.

Mary Rummels, who keeps saloon on

Commissioner Ten-Eyck yesterday on
complaint of Collector Stripe, for refusing

which forbearance she politely told him,

continues to transgress the law, for which
the Collector commenced proceedings
against her for the amount OF the license
and penalty, and also criminal prosecu-
ton, the penalty being two years impris-
onment. When before the Commissioner,
Mary acknowledged the corn, expressed
her contrition and was permitted, 1T the
suggestion of Mr.. Stripe, to pay the IL
cense and penalty and all costs, and went
