At the Peoples Expense.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-The question of the
selection of customhouse site Icreates in
tense excitement here. Another large
meeting of citizens was held in the Temple
this evening to consider the matter, but no
definite result was reached.
The Republican editorially this morning
states that the senior proprietor of that pa
per has been approached by one or more of
the Customhouse Commissioners. with a
proposition that for the sum of thirty
thousand dollars the Customhouse could be
located in Nicholson block, and that this
sum was wanted, and would be used as
Republican campaign fund.
It is further stated that Judge Long, one
of the Commissioner, who was in Wash
ington at the time had written letter to
his business partner here to the effect that
he had the Presidents assurance that any
location chosen by Richardson, Mcguire
and the writer would be satisfactory to the
Administration and approved by the Exc
cutive. The names of Commissioners
used in connection with this proposition are
Judge Long, Constantine Mcguire and
JAS Richardson. The latter was absent
from the city at the time but Mcguire is
alleged to have vouched for-him.
This afternoon Judge Long published a
card stating that President Grant said en-
phatically that he had no preferences; that
the location should be made upon the block
best adapted to the interests of the people
OF st. Louis, and that no deduction or con-
clusion drawn from conversation between
him Long, and the President, or any mem
Der of the Cabinet, would warrant even
suspicion that the President had choice of
blocks.
Mcguire also publishes a card substan-
tally denying the Republicans statement
regarding the matter, land ridiculing the idea
that he, Republican, would go to Col.
Knapp, an opponent of the Administration,
to raise funds for clectioneering purposes.

Trumbull and Thurman in Ohio.
A Powerful Speech.


COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 2.-The Democrats
and Liberals held large meeting here to-
night to hear Senator Trumbull, who spoke
at length. Che proceedings were inaugur-
ated by torch light demonstration in
which eleven or twelve hundred parsicipa-
ted. Senator Thurman who presided, in
introducing Trumbull made short speech,
the first he has made in this campaigr l..
After referring to Trumbulrs position as
one of patriotism at the sacrifice of Iperson-
al ambition, Senator Thurman said:
What but patriotism can actuate the
large body of Republicans who have en-
listed in the same cause, what but a strong
and firm conviction of duty could have led
these Republicans to oppose the re election
of Grant, and l ask the same question in
relation to the Democrats, what but q
sense of duty could have induced that
great old party to sacrifice its pride, its
prejudices, and unite in the support of one
of its lifelong opponents for the highest
Office in the gift of the people?
Democrats had no i'll will towards Grant
in 1868. In the campaign of that year |
never heard him spoken of by a Democrat
save in terms of respect. What, then, has
produced this revolution of feeling, so
strong that in order to defeat his reelection

SECRETARY MCCULLoCH, whose figures
have never been impeached, showed in his
report, submitted in December, 1868, that
years and seven months of Johnson's ad-
min's'ration was over $4,000, 900, which
would make the average rate Of reduction
under johnson about 100000 greater
than the average rate under Grant. These
figures show what kind of economy
Grant has practced. The less of his "econ-
Omy" tie better for the country.

MORE ANON.

THERE are two remedies for drunken
ness which are severe, but have been found
practically effective. In st. Petersburg pe:-
sons arrested for intoxication are compelled
to sweep the streets all the next day. The
penalty is rigidly enforced, without regard
to the sex or the social condition of the cul-
prit. In Liverpool intemperance lately be-
came so alarming that it was at last resolved
to publish the names of all persons found
drunk on the streets and brought to the sta
tion-house. A salutary effect was at once
noticed, and the number of cases of intoxi-
cation reported fell off more than third.

THE Bay of Panama, for two or three
years back, has been the resort of whales
and their young, and the boats of whaling
ships have pursued their occupation within
sight of the city walls. Whaling ships
were constantly seen in the harbor, and
barrels of oil incumbered the railroad
wharyes while waiting to be sent across the
Isthmus. These busy scenes are now all
changed, in consequence of the indispo-
sition of the authorities of Panama to aid
the masters of vessels in recovering de-
serters from the crews. Although wDalers
still visit the bay, they steer clear of Pana-
ma, and, consequently, very little oil is now
shipped across the isthmus, aud the mer-
chants have lost the valuable trade of fur
nishing ship supplies.

He has been known to be President of
the Erie railroad for two weeks, and Sena-

another mans term. He dropped from the
United States Senate into sub-treasury-
ship, and then flew on eagles pinions to a
common postmastership. When Thomas,
who was serving out the flag end of Howell
CObb's term in the treasury, had been re-
moved, old Dix was meekly waiting, with
his Bardolphian blade buckled to bis side,
to succeed to the remnant of the fag end.

steamer Bienville which burned at sea
shows there were sixty-two, which with the
crew would make about ninety-two per-
Sons on board. OF this number there are
thirty-six still to be heard from. 1t is
hoped that the thirty-six who are in boats
not yet heard from have been saved, as
there has been but little wind and slight
sea, and the boats are adrifL in one ofthe

GEN. JOHN A. DIX.
Interesting = Unexpired Term : It il
Murder.


Chicago Tribune Correspondence.
John A. Dix, Customhouse candidate for
Governor of New York, belongs to that
class Of military failures which were col
leeted around Winfield Scott in 1851, just
about the time of Bull Run the first. Scott
was the Lieutenant General, and We pos
sessed but four Major Generals: John c.
Fremont, G.. B. Mcclellan, Nath. P. Banks,
and John A. Dix. All the others ranked
Dix, but Dix and Scott were the only two
born in last century, and Scott was Dix's
senior by only twelve years. Two of those
four Major Generals were dispatched on
active service, and had many psints of re-
semblance, personal as well as mea-
tal-McC leilan and Banks; but Ere
mont ard Dix were only Generals to Their
aids-de-eamp. John A. Dix is what We
knew of the latter days of Winfield Scott
q Scott without Lundy's Lane, Churu-
busco, or a Contreras; bsttleless General,
and an off-watch office-holder, slipping in
when parties lost vigilance and dumplings
replaced cannon-balls. In the war of 1872,
New Hampshire eInigre, he was feeble
aide to Gen. Brown in the dodge-warfare of
the Niagara border; and of this we should
not be informed had Dix not written it in
dustriously of himself. His subsequent
life has been that of lawyer without cases
or rank in the profession, and the filler of
unexpired terms for other people; he is a
sort of joker in the euchre pack-nothing
in himself, but sometimes made available,
by consent, to take both Jacks. At times
he disappears altogether, and exists no
more than Mrs. Harris, whom we fancy
this mythical old gentleman might resem-
bic, if it were possible for her to have ex-
listed. They piece out ends of terms and
vacant directorships, and idle times, and
time of ease and safety, with this old Barkis
of "a. He is always at the foot of the step
waiting to go up-the ghost of empty pla-
ces, and, like the letter E in the riddle:
