THE STATUS OF Mr.. STANTON.-Tht
actual facts regarding the rumored res
ignation of Secretary Stanton are about
as follows: He is now engaged il
making ont his report, and as soon as
it IL finished he will undoubtedly re-
tire. His resignation has been precipi.
tated by the discovery lately made that
Mr.. Stanton has filled nearly all the
vacancies in the regular army without
the knowledge or assent of Mr.. John.
son. He has been for some time making
out the commissions and forwarding
them to the appointees, with orders to
thom to report to General Grant for
duty. General Grant s,rpposing them,
as appeared from the face of their
papers, duly appointed by the Presi,
dent, has assigned them to duty and
they are now ut service without the
knowledge of the President. On learn.
ing this fact the President, very angry,
sent for Mr.. Stanton, and demanded
an. explanation. The result was the
retirement of Mr.. Stanton as soon as
he could make out his report, on which
he is now engaged.
The belief gains ground that General
Sherman IS to succeed Mr.. Stanton pro
TEN. He cannot of course hold the
Office and that of Lieutenant General
at the same; but at the request OF
General Grant, who desires the hearty
cooperation of the war Office in the
work of recognizing the army, Sher,
man will act as Secretary of War

ANECDoTE OF THE GREAT DUKE.-ln
the "Life of Lord Combermere" is a
characteristic anecdote of the Duke of
Wellington:
lone day the commapder-ip -chief and

tunity of questioning Lord Wellington
as to his plan of operations. The con-
versation ran nearly as follows: Sir
Brent Spencer-'We are about, my lord,
to engage in very hazardous campaign,
and no one can tell what may befall any
of us. am sure that trust most sim
cerely that nothing will happen to your
lordship. 1t would be great misfor-
tune to the army if it were to lose You ;

AN ENRAGED HUSBAND THROWS Two
MEN OFF BRIDGE.-Shortly after dark
on Wednesday evening two well-dressed
married men were promenading across
bridge in New Haven, Connecticut,
each with strange woman, also fash
ionably dressed, leaning confidingly on
his arm. All at once the picture
changed. A powerful enraged man,
who in one of the thoughtless women
saw his own wife, and who had been
watching the couples meandering, stole
stealthily and silently up, and before
either of the masculines could escape
he felt himself lifted from his feet,
balancing in nid-air over the railing of
the bridge moment, and then occupy
ing miserable situation, almost
buried in calm mud, knee deep, ten feet
below. Both the victims were athletic
men, and yet they were lifted over and
plunged into the quagmire of mud be-
low in far less time than it takes to tell
it. Both floundered around in the mud
for a good wilhelm the darkness it
seemed an age to the founderers-but
both managed to crawl out, with ruined
clothes, wiser if not happier men.

STILL THREATENING.-The Washing

&c. To us this whole course of the
Chronicle, and its aiders and abettors,
looks as if there was a wish to precipi-
tate civil strife, and renew blOodshed
aud ruin. What pretence of right there
can be for people out of the State of
Maryland to interfere with the authori-
ties of that State, in the discharge of
their duties, and the exercise of their
rights under the laws of the State, with
regard to the police of the city, we can

good-looking, Intelligent and .genteelly-
dressed young woman, calling herself
Mary Bella Quinlin, called at the May

boring under some strange hallucina-

her to murder her fellow beings, either
by poison or otherwise. So strong was
this desire, and so uncomfortable was
her passion, that she desired his honor
to place her out of harms way, so as to
prevent her carrying her plan into eI-
ecution. She represented herself as
having formerly taught school in In
diana, but that recently she had resi-
ded at Harrisburg. When asked wheth-
er she had any poison about her, she
took . package Of strycnine from her
stocking and handed it over to Officer

The trade in dry goods opened this
morning with perhaps little more ami

ment in its general tone. The continued
dizziness in the market for the raw mate
rial, and absence of demand has 4 de-
pressing effect, and in some instances
goods are offered little lower by Job
bers. The present trade is confined to
picking up few pieces of various goods
to even up assortments. In the home
trade some goods are being transferred
to Philadelphia for better market. A
few goods are going South, but on the

a.a.le H.n,ins ON the Plains.


A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Comn,ercial writes from the plains as
follows:
yesterday we had another handsome
run with the Buffalo, starting two large
bulls quite close to the road. To look
at them running, You wotld suppose
their speed was contemplate. Their
gait is ungainly, resembling more nearly
the lope of pig than that of any ami
NAL can recall. With their noses
close to the ground, they keep steadily
on, and only begin to run their best
when you expect to see them tire out.
You change your mind as to their speed
when you try one with your horse ut
his best speed. The embarrassments Of
On amateur buffalo hunter are varied
and not limited in number. As gen.
eral thing, his horse objects to the buff
falO-dislikes him, in short, and is with
difficulty persuaded to face him, al
though he may follow well enough. The
moment the buffalo turns, your horse is
off, and it may be well for you to look
out that you are not off too. Indeed,
with half dozen bullets in him, his
awful drapery of shaggy hair, eyes
glaring, blood dripping from his jaws,
the buffalo bull is not pleasant object
for horse to look upon, much less to
get near. He is full of fight, and shows
it while he has power to move q muscle.
Well, our two bulls were run down and
killed by four or five of our party, in
about forty minutes. One of them was
a noble specimen, some twelve years
old, measuring nine feet in length and
six feet In height. When he turned at
bay he was truly grand spectacle.
"With such horses as the Indians
have, the sport is much finer. The horse
knows the buffalo nearly as well as his
rider, and will dash up at full speed
close to his side, giving the hunter all
time needed to put the shot in the de-
sired spOt-just behind the shoulder. 1t
certainly is as glorious and exhilarating
sport as anything in hunting can be, for
even the fresh, unframed horses, when
recovered from their first terror, enter
into the sport, and fairly tremble with
the excitement. To-day we had an
other hunt of singular description.
Our camp Is situated OH the declivity of
o hill, looking south, toward the Arkan-
sas. About half an hour before sunset,
some one near me cried out "buffata,"
and although supposed it to be joke,
/ looked up, and, sure enough, there was
a buffalo just below the crest of the
hill, coming toward us. 1t stopped,
turned, looked bewildered for moment,
and began to run back. Meantime half
q dozen rifles and revolyers were grasp
ed, and, by dint of heading off and
it, the animal was actually
run down and shot by half dozen men
on foot. 1t was q young buffalo COW.
Poor, misguided, giddy thing. strayed
from its herd, it was, doubtless, en-
to make its way across the
river, to which its instinct was unerr-
ingly guiding it."
