The War News In Chicago.
CHICAGO, July lG.-The reception OF
the European war news caused con-
siderable excitement here among the
French and German citizens. The
prices OF produce were not markedly
affected at first, but this morning wheat
opens at thirteen cents above yester-
days opening price.
A Washington special says that the
news from Europe last night official
and unof1cial) leads to the belief that
war between France and Prussia Is
certain. The Prussian Minister ex-
pressed that opinion at the State De
partment to-day. Though members
of the Administration talked over the
situation yesterday, nothing was done
to-day regarding 1t.
The opinion prevails, both BY foreign
and home officials, that the war will
not be of long duration, but that one
decisive battle will be fought, and q
few weeks will end It.
The Prussian Minister has a dispatch
tonight that the French fleet started
to-day to blockade the Prrssian ports.
This important information was sent
to the President and Cabinet at the
Capitol.

THERE seems to be very little doubt
that the crops are a partial failure in
Europe, but promise very fayorably in
this country. Cotton gives every APP
pearance Of vigor, but the accumula-
tion Of great stocks of grain in the
warehouses Of Chicago and Milwaukee,
by spectators, argues their belief In
lighter grain crops at the West than
was hoped for, and consequently
higher prices.

A SAD SroRY.-The Scranton Pa

full story of a casualty On the Lacka-

two little boys aged five and seven
years, and a babe, was at the depot at
Pittston. to take n train. She put her
two little boys in a and then re-
turned to the station for her babe.
Meanwhile the train started. The
station master signalled the conductor
to stop and the little boys screamed at
being taken away from their mother.
But It seems that the train neither
stopped nor was any care taken Of the
children. The mother t~elegraphed to
put them of ut Scranton. Nothing
further Is known Of them until they
were found on the railway track about
2 o'clock next morning-the youngest

The Cincinnati Gazette gives US an idea of
the operations of detectives there:
The trial of the Robbins tobacco case, be.
fore the United States Court, is developing
some interesting features. Among the rest
sher, Special Agent of the Internal Revenue
Assessor Of the Sixth District of Kentucky
Each of these gentlemen, it seems. had con-
ceived suspicion of the integrity of the
the other, and limited at an arrangement
whereby they could connive at swindles of
the government by the tobacco men, bleed
the latter, and SO put money in their own
pockets. "You see," said he, persuasively,
''that we can do it as well as not, and no.
body know any thing about 1t but our
selves" Thus he spoke, tempting him.
But the other said within himself 81
must 'dissemble. This fellow is a rascal
and would defraud the government. But
II give vent to the Indignation which his
Infamous proposition excites within my vir.
tuous breast, he will say no more and
shall never have proof positive of his cor
rupt designs"
And 80 these gentlemen schemed against
each other, each seeking to draw the other
into an open proposition which would be
conclusive of guilt, without duplicating
himself. Neither, however, was dull enough
to fall into the pit which each had digged
for the other, and go they stood in hostile
attitude until the case came up, when they
were forced to reveal their respective am
buscades, and justify their conduct in the
sight of the world and of the Internal
Revenue Department.

TEXAN CATTLE TRANsACTION.

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Claimed
for the Lnas Of Five Hundre ed Head.
The St. Louis Democrat reports the fol-
lowing:
A suit to recover twenty-five thousand
dollars damages was instituted in the Cir
cult Court yesterday by Charles NJ. Gayle
against Thomas B. Gregory. the plaintiff
states in his petition that on the twenty
second of May, 1868, he entered into con-
tract with the defendant, by which he
agreed to deliver to him five hundred head
of Texas beef cattle at Red River Landing,
on the Mississippi, Louisiana. Defendant
agreed to receive them there, ship them to
st. Louis and pay to plaintiff, on their de-
livery at Red River Landing, sixteen dollars
per head; also to take charge of the cattle
when they were landed at st. Louis and sell
them to the best advantage. After selling
them and paying all expenses, including the
first expenses OF shipping them, the defend
ant had to pay half the net proceeds to the
plaintiff.
The plaintiff AYERS that he performed his
part of the contract, except placing the
cattle ON the boat at Red River Landing.
This he was unable to do, because Gregory
refused to receive them, and to pay the
sixteen dollars head, amounting to SS000,
saying it was useless to place them on the
boat. Plaintiff states it was practical to have
shipped the cattle Immediately. Having
relied on receiving the money from the de-
tendant. and driven the cattle from Jackson
county, Texas, he found himself penniless,
and in a strange country. He had to wait
there ten days, and during that
time fifteen head of the cattle escspad
causing a loss of $500. The other cattle
suffered greatly for want of pasturage and
water, and were damaged to the amount of
$4,000. The necessary expenses he had to
incur were $1,000, and he WAS compelled to
make very disadvsntsgeous arrangements
with parties. The cattle were shipped by
them to st. Louis by one of the boats of the
Atlantic and Mississippi Steamship Com.
pany, on which they were so grossly mis-.
handled and ill-treated that they became an
entire loss to him. This company being
dissolved he can not recover from it, and
asks SOS, 900 damages against the defendant.

Mr.. Whltsmore's Berenes.

The member from South Carolina, who
| resigned and was censured by the House of
Representatives on Thursday for the sale Of
cadetships in the National Academies, has
published the defense which he was not
allowed to make in the House. mi he says
there were no young men in his District who
were not sons of the aiders and abettors of
treason.
The colored men were not able to pass an
examination at the Academies. and preju-
dice, unfortunately, would meet them at the
very Threshold. He would not appoint the
son of disloyalist; he could not loyal col
ored boy. He had then to seek some one
outside of his district. He did so; sought
the best one he could find, and after the ap-
pointment was made, the friends gave him
five hundred dollars to be applied to aid in
building school houses and feeding and
he erred, it was In striving to
aid his suffering people. The Civ
ing of appointments Of cadetships
outside of districts to others than those
born in the same had been done since 1912.
The academy at West Point had been filed
with just such cases. He had been reported
against by a copmittee upon which there
were those whose skirts We're not clean of
accusation, or whose cOnsciences were
purged of corruption. There was one whose
letter Mr.. Whittemore had seen, which
showed his willingness to accept PROPOSE.
ton of purchase of his appointment, and
yet he eat in judgment over him, and voted
even against the most lenient proposition
for time for further examination of his case
He denies emphatically the statement of
Schoepf, who said he asked two thousand
dollars for the appointment, and closed with
the reiteration of his entire freedom from
corruption, in any sense, throughout the
transaction for which he had been accused.
He laid the charge at the door of member
from New York, who was part of the con.
spiracy, and who offered money for letter
which Mr.. Whittemore wrote to Kegler.

The Washington Republican has its say
about the New Orleans Customhouse:

The condition of affairs in the New Or
leans Customhouse remains as when the
trouble was first announced some months
since. Collector Casey refuses to yield to
the demands made for the removal of GER
tain appolntees, and turns deaf ear to the
complaint of the fault.fnders. 1t is alleged
by the Republicans that the most important
positions are filed by men not truly loyal
With the view of settling the controversy,
the Secretary of the Treasury, several weeks
since, directed one of the special agents to
visit New Orleans and prepare complete
list OF the force as it stood. The report has
been submitted, and the list, embracing
over four hundred employees, is awaiting
the approval of the Secretary to confirm
the appointments Of the present incum-
bents. It is not likely even this will make
peace. The leading Republicans of New
Orleans are determined to urge their claims
for recognition until they are substantially
regar ded.
