WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Nov A.-The argument
in the mandamus case, to compel Secretary
Boutwell, to issue warrant for the payment of
the Kentucky war claims, began in the supreme
court to-day, Attorney General Akerman appear
ing for the secretary of the treasury.
THE RUSSIAN MINISTRY.
The management of the Russian legation
passed to day from Mr. Calacazy to Gen. Cor
loft whose residence has been at Hartford, as
military attache of the legation. This gentle
man will be very acceptable 10 the executive au
thOrites in his new position. The change re-
lieves the president OF the unpleasant duty
which CatacaZy's conduct had otherwise made u
necessity, OF sending his passport to the minis
ter, and it may be regarded as practical com
pance with the request of this government for
his recall. 1t is understood that Catacazy has
been ordered by his government 10 wait upon
the grand duke during his tour in this country,
and return to Russia Immediately on its COM
pletiOn.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Gen. Allen Rutherford, third auditor Of the
treasury, has returned from the Cape Fear le-
gion of North Carolina. Herepreseuts that that
county is now ENJOYING a much better condition
of things than heretofore, the United States
courts having made examples of many bad men
there. The bragadocia and the daredevil spirit
of the hukluX appears to be very much broken,
and many prominent men who belong to the
order have fled to the mountains, leaving behind
them feeling of greater security among the
peaceable and law-abiding citizens. This bad
element discovered that it has become SO well
known Individually that they cannot get on
the grand and petit inneS, and that have no
show for acquittal in court. The United States
courts meets there next week, but it is under
stood that some five hundred indictments pend
ing against kuklux will go over to "A special
term, to he holden in January next, when Judge
Bond will preside.
OREGON.
Ex-senator Williams, who has recently re-
returned to Oregon, says that the politi-
cal affairs of that state are so arranged that the
prospect of recovering the legislature from the
democracy, in whose hands il was placed by the
colonization of the debris of Prices army is
cheerfully bright; and he thinks that the next
election will show very different state Of things.

rzn oRnAr CURIOSITY.

The stone man found by e. w.
Belts in digging trench around his
grounds on the bluffs in Ottumwa is
exciting wonderful interest in this
community. On Sunday when the
thermometer was up to 100 degrees,
5hundreds of people hocked to his
residence to examine this curious
Estone. So great has been the pres
sure of visitors, that Mr.. Bolts has
been obliged to remove it, to secure
his family from continual annoyance.
Every wherc you go you find people
discussing it. Opinions are various.
No man is so ignorant as to be unable
to give good advice or on opinion in
regard to such curiosity. What it
is, is disputed. Doctors disagree in
this as they do in regard to every
thing else.
Many claim that it is a petrified
human being, others that it ia Gu
rious stone fortuitous in origin-oth-
ors that it is deposit of carbonate
of lime in a hollow of the stiff blue
clay LETT by the decomposition Of a
human body-others-well every.
thing. Theories are innumernble and
illimitable. How ever it was formed
it is certainly q wonderful curiosity
To-da; thousands of people are ~
Ottumwa to see to big show, but i,
is exceedingly doubtful lift will con
tain anything so interesting to scien
tific minds and tho general public,a
this Stone Man. We learn that Mr.
Belts has been besieged ever since h,
made the discovery, by parties wish
ing to take an interest in tho show
business, and by parties who wish t
secure this curious specimen as do
nation for scientific investigation.
Whatever no may do with it, W,
hope it will not be sent away befor,

Dear Sir-In
your last issue ! notice o communities
tim that needs some correcting. 1t
is short and reads as follows: "a
game of Base Ball was played in this
city last Saturday between the "De.
sotos of harrisburg and Ioka, and
the Appanoose OF this city, in
which our clublicked their opponents
clear out of their boots"
Now / would beg leave TO inform
the Appanoose club, and all readers
of the COURIER, that the members Of
the Desoto club do not belong at
Martinsburg or loka, nor both places
combined, Us the above article infcrs.
The most Of tho club reside in the
Southwestern portion of Benton
Township, nearer Ottumwa than loka
and from six to nino miles west Of
Martinsburg.
This mistake has been made nc
cidentaly or Intentionally, and justice
to The Base Ball club of Martinsbura
demands that it should DO corrected
