violently that the authorities could only
assess the regular damages and assume

not until the trains began to run did she

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-The Eue-
ming Dispatch publishes a CORES
pondence between j. r. Doolittle and
u: Gratz Brown respecting the nomination
Of the latter for Vice President by the Bal
tinore Convention. The letter of Brown
is as follows: *
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Jefferson,
City, Aug. 8, 1872. Gentlemen ofthe Com
mittee-l have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication adyis--
ing me that had been unanimously nom-
mated as candidate for the Vice Presidency
of the United States by the Democratic
National Convention at Baltimore. For
this mark of confidence On the part of SO
large a representative body of my fellow
citizens, L cannot too deeply express my
gratitude. The distinction is one which
feel to be in a great measure undeserved
where so many more suitable could have
been found, and yet that feeling will rem
der me doubly solicitous should your ac-
ton be confirmed, to discharge the duties
of that high position with fidelity to your
trust, with devotion to the public inter-
est and with an infexible resolution
to prove not unworthy of such choice. The
fact that it reposes also upon the declaration
of principles affirmed by the Liberal Re-
publicans at Cincinnati, and proclaimed
without amendment by the Democratic
parties at Baltimore, gives assurance that in
this combined expression there is sought
only the deliVeranca of the nation from a
present great peril. To that end all minor
considerations have been subordinated, and
an illustration presented to the country Of
unseltish patriotism, rather than any stick
ling for partisan advantage, which should
convince all of the sincerity of this move
ment. 1t has involved no surrender on
either part of any former convictions. It
has not been negotiated or bargained. Its
| origin was from the people. Though diff
fering in the past son some issues Of great mag
nitude, yet now that they are settled, there
| is hearty concurrence between US upon
the vital questions agitating the public mind.
What conduct of national affairs that in
wolves, your convention has well set forth
in its platform, and its true accord with the
Democratic ideas that guided our earlier
administrations is the best guarantee that
it will restore equal rights, tranquil develop
ment and constitutional rule. Permit me,
also, gentlemen, through you to express my
thanks to the great masses of your party
who have since ratified your action with
such signal unanimity, and to say to them
| that in accepting this, their nomination,
do so, believing there is nothing in hon or
or in conscience that should be prevent the
most cordial cooperation henceforth in be-
half of the policy presented. In conclud-
ing, it is proper to state that a severe i'll
ness has interviewed since the reception of
your communication which has DELAYED
this reply until my recovery and return
home. With very great respect, yours,
| truly, 3. GRATZ BROWN.

GREAT BRITAIN.
Tho Oneen,s Speech.


LONDON, Aug. 1O.-Parliament was pro-
rogned this afternoon. The speech of the
Queen was read by the Royal Commission.
The first subject touched is the controversy
over the American indirect claims which
the Queen rejoices to inform Parliament
has been composed by the spontaneous de-
claration of arbitrators entirely consistent
with the views announced by Her Majesty
at the opening of the session. The Cana
dian Parliament having passed the acts ne-
cessary to give effect to the treaty of Wash
ington with the Dominion, all the arrange
ments contemplated by that instrument are
now in progress. Her Majesty reflects
with satisfaction that the subjects with
which the treaty deals no longer offer impe-
diment to perfect concord between two
kindred nations.
The Queen declares the determination
Of the Government to deal more efiactu2lly
with the East Africa slave trade.
She says of the ballot: The acts which
establish sthe ballot will assist to secure
alike the independence of the voter and tran
quillity and purity of elections for members
of the Parliament.
The Queen leaves for Balmoral Tues
day.
A Coal Famine.
Passenger fares and freight tariffs on the
English railways have been increased in
consequence Of the advance in the price OI

TAMPERING WITH THE MAILS.
How Ihe,Grant Organ is Circulated
Case for investigation.
A. Nuo,,y Vorly TribuDa


was this morning informed by two
gentlemen. whom have known for many
wears as consistent members of the Repub-
lican-party, that, following their lifelong
convictions, they are now ardent support
ers of Horace Greeley for the Presi-
dency: that they have subscribed
and paid for the weekly Tribune
and have been regularly receiving the same
for some time past; that yesterday, on call
inp at the postofiice at this place, they
fo1nd in their boxes, instead ofithe Tribune
The Ne,y York Times; and that, on demand
ing an explanation, they were informed tnat
the Times was a better paper than the Irt6-
1D,e. that it was furnished to them gratis,
ana consequently they could not be suffer-
ers by the exchange. These gentlemen IN
dionantly refused TO receive the Times,
and, after threatening to have the mat
fer investigated, were permitted to have
the Tribune. The same thing has been
dome. have since ascertained, in many in
stances; several Tribune sub scribers, resid-
| inc MANY miles from the Postofice, not
having discovered the substitution until they
reached their homes. 1t occurred also yes
! terday at the postotice at Milan, IN tnls
! county: there the Postmaster is supporter
of Mr.. Greeley, and be states that no pack
ace of TribtmeS was received there, but IL
its stead a package of TinaeseS addressed to
the subscribers of the Tribune.
Some time since a circular from the
| Chairman of the Grant County Commit
tee published in Bradford argus and copi-
ed into the TTjbume), addressed to the post
masters of this county, asking for the
names of all Tribune subscribers, was made
public. This present move of the post
masters is undoubtedly a result of tha
circular.

ter, and suggest such remedy as you think
the case demands? Very respectfully,

Grant Preparing for Mexican Con
quest.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Daily BalIe-
tin SAYS it has reason to believe that the
Government is preparing for Mexican
coup which will surprise the country, and
sooner, perhaps, than the country expects.
Saws the Bulletin: ''If our information is
correct, the Committee now sitting at
Brownsville is engaged in far more i'm
portant work than it would seem to be on
the surface, and this will appear in due
time. 1t is, in fact, the first step toward
the annexation of the Rio Grande country
to the United States. We have reason to
know that it is the desire of President Grant
that the fact of the utter inability of the
Mexican government to maintain order in
that portion of its territory contiguous to
our own should be established by official
proofs of the most incontestable character,
in order that the New Departure he is con-
templating may be presented, at home and
abroad, in the light of necessity which
circumstances have absolutely forced upon
US as a matter of self-defense."
