The ROBBERY AT CARR1NGToN's FARM.
In yesterdays paper we mentioned that
the barn of Mr.. J. L. Carrington, a short
distance from the city, had been robbed of
a large quantity of oats, and that the wagon
containing them had been traced to STA
BILE up town.
Yesterday morning Ed. Brooks (colored)
appeared before the Mayor to answer the
charge of receiving the stolen oats, the
stable in which they were placed belong
ing to him. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, whose testimony clearly estab-
lished the fact of the oats having been
carried to and placed in the stable of the
accused. ... ...-...- .-...
In the absence of other important testi-
mony the case was continued until Monday
next, and the accused committed to jail.

RUMoRED REMOVALS OF STATE AND C1TY
OFFICIALs.-There were rumors afoat
yesterday that several removals were soon
to be made of State and city officers, and
their places to be filed by appointments
by General Schofeld. Governor Peirpoint,
it was stated, was to be removed, and
General Welles to succeed him. The
Mayor of the city and the City Sergeant,
it was said, were also to be elected from
office. Commissioner Chahoon seemed to
have the inside track for the Office of
Mayor. Colonel Ordway and Mr.. George
W. Smith were also named in connection
with the Office. The reports with refer
ence to the removal of the Governor and
the City Sergeant partook rather more
of Che character of flying rumors than that
with reference to the Office of Mayor,
which seemed to be pretty well sustained.

piled in the affirmative. He requested
time to dress and to eat breakfast, which
was granted and done; after which he came
along with me. He conversed about the
affair, saying that he and Meyer were the
best of friends, but had quarrelled. He
would not say whether he had fired or not.
At the conclusion Of the testimony the

the accused to Jail to await an indictment

quiring $4,000 security for his appearance
at the time designated. Mr.. John Knowles

From washington.

WASHINGTON, September 4.-United
States Marshal Merriwether telegrapha that
his deputies are prevented from serving
processes in Lane, Nelson, and Marion
counties, KY. He says his posse *as cap
tured, taken to a mill, and robbed and
they escaped with their lives only because
they were special and not regular officers.
They were taken to the nearest depot, and
warned not to return. Merriwether states
that General Thomas has no mounted troops,
and as the processes must be served within
two weeks to make them returnable at the
October term. he asks for immediate in
structions. The matter was referred to the
Secretary of War, who replies that both the
Marshal and General Thomas must be
ruided by Attorney General Evarts's opin-
ion given the United States Marshal in
Florida.
Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner
Rollins have almost daily conferences about

Messrs. Schenck and Morgan will not
meet to determine about calling Septem-
Der session of Congress until the 18th or
18th Of September. Representative Kel-
logc. of Alabama, opposes calling the ses-
sion because even if the bill arming the
militia can pass over veto, the arms can
not be distributed before the election. He
apprehends the session would do more harm
than good. The general impression is that
there will be no session.

near where Indian outrages were COM

It is reported that the Chinese on the Rus

pense.
