ing q gentleman registered as S. A.
Strickland, Tennessee, cut his throat
with a pocket knife at Palmer's HO-

here a few days ago. Nothing is
known Of the cause OF the suicide.
Indications OF a supposed murder
were found i'm the middle of q grove,

murdered man is suspected TO have
been burned in q campfire. His
property was found in the possession
OF his companion, who is now in In
diana, and requisitiOn will be Issued
to bring him on for trial.
An ARRAY occurred here this morn
ing, in which Edward May, architect,

not fatally, injured by two brothers
named Smith, both OF whom received
wounds from pistol balls Gred by May.

PUBLIC BUSINESS GETTING DULL.
WASHINGTON, May For several
weeks past there has been q steady re-
ductiOn in the number Of employees IN
the Treasury Department and dis
charge of many more has been de-
cided, owing to the falling off Of work
there. There were yesterday dis
charged from the Printing Bureau 100
persons, more than half of them
women, Notwithstanding this reduc-
ton, and the necessity for further cur
failing, applications continue 10 be
made for clerkships from all points OF
the country.
THE LOOSE WAY THE NATIONAL BU-
sINESs Is DONE.
The general order Of March ., from
the Secretary Of the Navy, reviewing
the decision in the court martial case
OF paymaster Lockwood and others
for their scandalOus conduct and en-
beZzlement has set aside the sentence
so far as it relates to fine and impris-
Onment, because there was no law for
the execution of such sentence. Lock
wood also defrauded the government
out Of about $40, 600; therefore was set
at liberty, being merely dismissed
from service.
The same course and the same order
was pursued in the cases Of Pay
master General MOrrey and Wash
ingtOn, each Of whom were sem
fenced to both fine and imprisonment.
These Paymasters were said to have
embezzled about five hundred thou
sand dollars. The Navy Department
has taken no steps TO bring the cases
up before the civil tribunal, nor has
it even claimed the paltry bonds
which the officers are required to give
under Jaw. Its officers are merely
discharged from service.

SWITZERLAND.
Prussia Hskss a OsmaHd Upon the CID Re
public for TeFFltafY,

It is reported that Bismarck has
openly demanded from Switzerland
the cessi0n to Germany OF its German
speaking Swiss Cantons, and that the
demand has been refused by SWitZer-
land. and that the Government is ac-
lively engaged in mObiliZing the
Llndwehr, and has issued a procla-
Tnatiou calling all the citizens from
abroad.
s....s news which has reached US
ha-eIiabIe. il indicates a desire on the
part of Prussia 10 follow up a career
ofaggraudizament, and to re unite all
q rmau-spesking nations under one
scapter. 1t should be borne in mind
that Switzerland is s small r public,
whose integrity and liberties have
been guaranteed by the great powers
of Europe, and that any attempt at
ACKNOWLEDGMENT viii cause some
amount OF CONSERVATION, and no
doubt any quantity Of remOustrances
wilI pour in. But the Emperor OF
Germany is master of the situation,
and If he has demanded the cessiOn OF
these Swiss CautOus there is no power
that can stop him.
