WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The grand row be-
tween the rival factions in Mississippi is still in
an inextricable muddle. Judge Dent it appears,
has written letter defining his position and
policy, in which he says that he is National Re
publican, opposed to the extreme proscriptye
measures of the party, and places himself un-
equivocally upon the Walker platform of Vir-
ginia, advocating universal amnesty and uni
versal suffrage. In all these positions he claims
to be in unison with the President. On one hand,
it is claimed that he will persist in being can.
ddatc for Governor of Mississippi, while on the
other it is asserted that, in Difference to
President Grants Wishes he will retire
from the contest. The extreme radi-
Gals of the State, however, appear determined
to head him off if the thing is possible. r. c.
Powers, chairman; General j. Tarbell, secretary
of the Executive Committee of the Republican
party of Mississippi; Judge Gillenwaters, of
Corinth; and Mr.. George B. Jonas, representing
the straight-out Republicans, are among those
who are now here for the avowed purpose of
inducing the administration to forestall him,
and to set before the President and the Cabinet
what they claim to be the true condition of
affairs in that State The Republican party of
the State is, according to their statements,
united, and it is asserted that the real Republi-
ment can be counted without much difficulty
They seem to think that they have the best of it
so far.
The Indian Committees.
The special Indian committee appointed by
the President to visit Kansas and the Indian
Territory, in the double interest of the Indians
and the Government, have arrived in Kansas
and have already commenced their investiga-
tions. The committee appointed by the Pha-
dephia QuakCrs to look after and assist their
brethren in Nebraska have reached their desti-
nation and are at work. The Kansas papers
generally speak favorably of the Quaker agents
in that section.
Banks and Wade Attempt to Flank the Spa
niurds.
General n. p. Banks and Hon. B. +. Wade are
at the head of movement which has for its OBJ
ject the prevention of the sailing of the gum
boats now building in this country for the Spa
nish Government. The subject was brought
before the Presidents notice last Saturday. If
by any technicality of national law these gun
boats can be detained, the Cuban Minister, Senior
Lemus, is satisfied the President will stop them.
The Mexican Claims.
The joint commission for the settlement of all
claims pending between the citizens and Gov
crnments of the United States and Mexico will
commence its session here next week.

ordered Immediately to Washington, and to
bring his books and papers relating to subsist-
ence funds and stores for which he is response

The New Boston Post ONCE.
The plans for the new post Office at Boston
are rapidly being completed at the Office of the
supervising architect of the Treasury Depart
ment, and if the necessary appropriation be
made early in the approaching session, the work
upon the superstructure will be commenced at
the beginning of spring. Secretary Boutwell,
has decided that the new building shall be of
granite, although strong influence was brought
to bear upon him to build it of marble, which is
far more expensive than granite.
why the Presidents Mare Died.
Doctors differ as to the cause of the death of
the Presidents favorite trotting mare. The
stomach of this animal was sent to the Army
Medical Museum for analysis which has been
made. Some declare that she was poisoned,
while others, among whom is the Chief Veteri-
nary Surgeon of the Army, think she died from
natural causes.
Bad for OHice-hOIder.
The Secretary of the Treasury has abolished
the Office of Surveyor of Customs at New Bruins
wick, N. j.
