FROM WASHINGTON.
SpeeulatiOns as TO the Probable Action
OF the British Government on the
Alabama Claims.
The COlOred Cadet Business Again
Grant and Howard both Deny
Clark's Statement-Gen-
eral News.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-There is
| information from Geneva which war
rants the assertion that since the exclu-
sion of claims for indirect damage,
business before the tribunal of arbitra-
tors has been favorable to this govern
ment, and that several awards for direct
damages have already been agreed upon,
Indications being that on conclusion of
adjudication a gross sum will be awarded
to the United States, thereby avoiding
reference of the subject to a Board of
Commissioners. 1t should not be eX-
pected that particulars can now be
given, as the proceedings of'the tribunal
are conducted in secret, and as informa-
ton furnished to our government is of
the same character.
On inquiry to-day at the State De-
partment, it was ascertained that there
is no truth whatever in the widely pub
lished statement that President Grant
recently requested Acting Secretary
Hunter to furnish the Union Congress
sional Committee with a complete copy
of all scandalous reports made to the
Department against Cassius M. Clay,
while Minister to Russia, and General
Fitzpatrick, Minister to Chilli. 1t was
not known that there are any reports of
that character in the Department, and
it is certain that the President made no
such request of Hunter.
The Comptroller of Currency has au-
thorized the establishment of a First
National Bank at Clarinda, Iowa, with
a capital of fifty thousand dollars.
Notwithstanding the recent rains, the
weather continues oppressive, the ther-
mometer to-day indicating from ninety
three to ninety-six degrees.
General Howard having denied he
ever had any such conversation with the
Secretary of War as that from. which
David Clark professed TO quote his Ian
guage, and asserted that he would not
have made an untrue report, Clark
calls upon the Secretary to publish let
ter written by him to General Howard,
copies of which he was informed, as he
alleged, by that officer were placed in
the hands of the President and Secretary
of War. Both the President and Sec
retary of War deny that such copies
were ever received by them, and assert
that the idea of their having desired the
dismissal of the col0red cadet was pre-
sented to them the first time in letter
from Clark, published in the Tribune of
July 3lst. The absurdity is demonstrated
by the fact of record that when the
cadet was subsequently sentenced to be
dismissed, upon amply legal proof, his
sentence was mitigated by the substitu-
ton of extremely light punishment.

A special dispatch to the st. Louis
Republfcda recites an editorial of the
New York Herald, an organ of Grant
which possesses just now peculiar sig.
nificance, suggesting, as it does, an ALI.
ance in psrtisanship between the white:
and intelligent colored people. Every
sane colored man can see the wisdom Of
this course, and that it involves fol-
them every possible gain and no possible
loss. The dispatch states that the
Herald, which otherwise has been favor
ing Grant, has had several long edito-
rials pointing outthedangerOus meaning
of the Cooper Institute instances of gag
laws among the cOlored voters. 1t says
1.-the scene at the Cooper Institute
was a disgrace to a civilized city,
and was calculated to shake the convic-
tdons of those who have hitherto been
the most earnest in their advocacy of
negro suffrage. Throughout the pro-
ceedings there was a display of ignor-
anee, bigotry and ruffianism revolving to
those who have been taught to believe
the ballot as the palladium of our hber-
ties. Yet, depIorabIe as was the exhibit
ton at Cooper Institute, it was orderly
compared with the scenes enacted in
some of the Southern States. The fault
does not lie with the negro, but with
those who strive TO bind them together
as a distinctive political power,
by imposing upon their eredulity
and infiaming their passions. The
incendiary speeches of Secretary
Boutwell,, calling for ceaseless en-
nifty between the negroes and
whites, the dangerous and unchristian
letter of Garret Smith, in which the
hatred engendered by slavery is invoked
to make the South, in his own words, a
hell of horrors These are influences
calculated to turn the negro into a de-
mon, and TO make suffrage extended to
the black race a curse to the nation"
The Herald concludes by saying: awe
warn the men who are striving TO excite
the fears and passions of the negro race,
for their own political ends, that they
are playing with fire, and the disgrace
ful scene enacted in the heart of the
metropolis on Thursday evening is only
a slight ioreshadowing Of the evils they
are bringing upon the country"

ESTABLISHED 1910.

money for the purpose. He arrived in
st. Louis, where he obtained a situation
of bOok-keeper for a substantial firm.
After two years had expired he was
made a partner, and at the end of ten
years he retired from the firm with one
/ hundred thousand dollars. During all
these years he had kept up a CORE
spondenee with a London friend. That
friend had watched his wife by the aid
of detective. He knew that she was
| living all these years with Charles Sc
ton, but the infatuatiOn he had for her
never seemed to leave him. When he
heard from his friend at the end of last
year, that Charles Seton was dead, he
sailed for England with about one hum
dred thousand dollars. He rested quietly
in London for some time, staying at the
Bridge House Hotel; but at length he
resolved to visit his wife, whose resi-
dence he had obtained from his friends.
She was living in a comfortable house at
Sandleheath, near Alderholt, in the
county of Dorsetshire. She was tOlera-
bly, well provided for from the interest
of the money he had settled on
her, prior TO his leaving England,
and by an annuity which Charles Seton
had purchased for her. Taking the
Waterloo Bridge train, in a few hours
he was face to face with his wife. What
passed at the interview will never be
known; but it is presumed that, seeing
Seton was dead, he endeavored TO in
duce her to live with him again, which
she refused. Her daughter, a young
lady of about nineteen, exceedingly
beautiful, was in the house at the time,
but not present at the interview. After
spending three hours together they
walked into the wood, or cOpse, adjoin-
ing the house. The oOpse was about one
mile in circumference. Hours elapsed,
even days, and no tidings were heard
of Mrs. Dalglish. 1t was presumed that
she had left the neighborhood with her
husband. At length suspicion arose that
something was wrong, as she did not
correspond with her children, and the
story of her being missing was commu-
nicated to the police from one end of
England to the other. Mr.. Dalglish,
six hours after he entered the little wood,
was at the Langham Hotel, London,
where he registered himself as Charles
Walton. He never left his hotel except
in the evening, and was continually en-
gagged in writing during the day. But as
he did not leave his bedroom for two
days, and he would not answer to the
many knocks made at the door, it was
broken open and he was found dead,
having taken a large dose of lau-
danum. In his pocket was a will, duly
attested, by which he left all his prop
erty to the children of his wife. A
manuscript was lying on the table, Civ
ing the full history Of his life. He con-
fessed he had murdered his wife, and
tried to justify himself on the ground
that she had made the life of a good
man a perfect hell upon earth. He
stated where the body would be found.
The wood was diligently searched, and
Mrs. Dalgish's body was found hid
under a heap of dried leaves. The
head, which had been sawn from the
body, was lying a hundred yards dis
tant. She had been stabbed in the
region of the heart eight times, and
when found presented the most ghastly

ST. LOUIS, August 19.-Between eight
and nine o'clock tonight young man
named Bramhall, from Louisville, went
into the gambling house Of Henry Per-
rett, one of the best sporting men in the
country, and attempted to raise dis
turbance. PeTett induced him to leave
the house, and walked with him to the
st. Louis Billiard Hall, where, without
any provocatlon, as alleged, he drew.
pistol and shot Perrett in the face, in
fiicting a severe, and perhaps dangerous,
wound. Bramhall has been here two or
three months, carousing and gambling,
and is said to have run through five or
six thousand dollars, which was given
him by his father to engage in some en-
terprise at Fort Smith, Arkansas. He
was arrested and calabOOsed.

Warming Words.

The strength and nervous energy Of the
human body ought to be increased during
the winter, for two reasons: In the first
place, diseases of the most deadly character
may be generated at this season; and sec
ondly, II is of the utmost importance that
during the cold weather months the system
should be put in a condition to Withstand
the effects of the spring miasma, and the
subsequent depressing heat of summer. 1t
is, therefore, advisable, in fact essential, to
tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive
and secretive organs at this period OF the
wear. and of all the stomachics and altera.
lives ut present known, Hostetter's stomach
Bitters is the most powerful, the most harm
less, and the most agreeable. The tempera-
ture of winter would be in itself glorious
tonic, lift did not unfortunately, bring with
ii a volume of chilling moisture and I'M
wholesome winds, which have bad effect
on the skin and lungs. These must be guard
ed against, or there is no security for health
The effect of course of the Bitters Is to give
vigor and tone to the entire organization
the superficial muscles and nerves, as we'll
aS the internal viscera. A regular habit OF
body Ia healthy and natural flow OF bile, an
active Digestion good appetite, pure blood,
and a vigorous circulation OF that fluid, are
among the blessings derivable from persist
ent use of Hostetter sStomach bitters, which
not only more than supplies the place
of the best tonics, cathartics and antiseptics
prescribed in their separate forms by physt-
clans, but perform the threshold work OF
inyigoration, regulation and publication,
at one and the same time.
