The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes, Aug. 4: At
a meeting of the Ohio Republican Asso-
citation last night, 8 member stated that
it was the design of the State Executive
Committee 10 send circulars TO each of
the clerks from Ohio, requesting contri-
button equivalent to one per cent. On
their respective salaries. Committees
were appointed to collect funds to the
several bureaus, aud among the number
was D. C. Cox, member of the Civil
Service Commission. His acceptance
or non-accepiance will probably indicate
his opinion on this point of collecting
money from clerks for political purposes. {"

The unpleasantEess between Plessan-
ton and Boutwell, continues. When the
requisltion foE printing Pleasanton's de-
cision that borrowed capital is not tax
able for official distribution to collectors
was presented 10 The Secretary, he de-
clined to sign it, and still has the requi.
sition in his possession. This, for the
present, prevents the decision from taking
effect. The Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes
that on Friday Gen. Pleassnton rather
profanely reiterated his determination to
fight Mr.. Boutwell, under the tenure-of-
Office act, and to take his chances with
the Senate next winter, in case the Presi-
dert should be driven by pressure TO re-
move him.

issued warrants at Quebec for the ap-

A Farce.
MONTREAL, Aug. 5.-The investigation
of the charges against the alleged tilibus-
tiers, is proceeding to-day before the po-
lice Magistrate with closed doors. 1t
appears that the testimony against Maj.
Robinson is not of serious character,
and is quite insufficient for his detention
in custody. The whole affair is regarded
here as farce.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 80, via Havana,
Aug. 5.-The Permanent Deputati0n of
Congress finished counting the Electoral
votes for President on the 9th inst. The
following is the result: Diaz, 1882;
Juarez, 1,96S; Leerdo, 1866. There be-
ing no choice, according TO the constitu-
ton, the election goes to Congress, where
if coalition of the opponents of Juarez
is effected, the majority will be against
him. An attempt will be made to unite
the votes of the opposition on Diaz. The
Permanent Deputation is known to be
hostile to-Juarez. The enemies of Juarez
report that he purposes to bride doubtful
Congressman and imprison others before
they can reach the capital. On the other
hand, the Diaro, the official organ of the
government, declares that Iusrez has a
majority over all his competitors. In this
conflict of authority and direct contradic-
ton of statements it is impossible as yet
to decide who is actually elected.

THE NEW AUSTRIAN MINISTER.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-It is asserted in diplomatic
circles, that the appointment of Count Won Bcust
as Austrian ambassador at London, is with a
view of attempting to arrange a protective ALI
ance between the governments of Austria, Rus
STA and Great Britain against that of Prussia.
1t is understood that conference will shortly
take place between Mr.. Gladstone and Count
Won Beust, and probably Baron BrunOw, the
Russian representative in this city, at which the
views of the Austrian ambassador will be adj
vanced and discussed. A considerable amount
of interest has been awakened here as TO the re-
suit of the conference
