Especial to st. Louis Republican.
TROUBLE IN THE CAMP,

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-There is trouble in
the camp tonight. Mr.. Grant has devel-
oped capacity for producing trouble which
Logan, Farwell and Others, who interviewed
his Excellency yesterday with regard to the
currency bill, went away with the impress
sion that he would approve such a bill as
was afterwards adopted by the conference
committee, as telegraphed you last night.
The impression may have been an erroneous
one. At all events, it has been utterly de-
stroyed by the events of to-day.
The Conference Committee concluded to-
day they would call Oh his Excellency for
the purpose of mutual cOngratulation over
the bill which they had agreed to, and
which they supposed Grant would approve.
They called. They did not congratulate
very much.
VETO THREATENED.
They complain tonight that the taciturn
man of the igar monopolized all tae con
versation and overwhelmed them with the
assertion that he would veto the bill. He
was loud and voluble, and gave them a cat
hauling of the first magnitude. But this
was not all. After they had taken their
leave, Grant drew up succnctly the reasons
that would impel him to veto the bill if it
should pass, and gave the document to Sen
atOr Jones to he telegraphed all over the
land.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
There is great excitement tonight in
consequence of all this. The assertion is
freely made that the President is drunk and
has been on bum" for several days, and
strangely enough the assertion comes from
old, reliable Administration Republicans.
His Excel!ency..is charged with having taken
hnx o1xv
to organize the new party which is to elect
him to the third term. 1t is believed that
when Grant organizes his little company
and Morton gets his new party into opera
ton things will be awfully jolly.
On yesterday prominent Republican of
the House called at the Executive mansion,
and was asked by the President whether the
House would pass the civil rights bill.
Yes, think SO. You wish it passed, don't
you:" was the answer.

you to pass it so that can veto it,"
OVERLAPPING IN THE TREASURY DEPART
Gen. Bvistow has continued to make
things lively in the Treasury Department.
Only two days have elapsed since he as
sumed the duties of his Office, but there is
not an official or retainer of the department
who is not tonight pretty well convinced
that there is a party by the name of Brlstow
at the head Of affairs. They have all been
given to understand that they will be held
directly responsible by the new secretary.
A thorough overhauling is being had. The
story of the unparalleled manner in which
Mr.. Mullett was compelled to explain yes
terday why his order should be signed was
soon noised over the department., and the
officials have since beex going about in a
state of round-eyed amazement that is very
comcal. Such proceedings are unheard Of

ton of the subscriptions from that city for

The Hon. gentleman states most emphat ]

supplies, and their rules and regulations for
the distribution of relief, met his approval
in all respects, and strongly urges a con-
tinuance of subscriptions. Mr.. Crowell
further says:
Aside from the great relief which the large
donation made by the citizens Of Boston has
given the sufferers, their prompt and gener-
GUS action has, in my opinion, done more to
conciliate the people of the South than any
one thing which has transpired since the

Another Convict Captured.
He Attempts to Escape and is Shot
Lynch Law Almost a Riot.

Detectives Pecora and Ruiz have for some
days past been on the track of the notorious
horse thief Nelson DeLisle who made his
escape from the Louisiana Penitentiary in
1869 He was sentenced for five years for
horse stealing, by Judge Abel, YVES received
at the State Prison January 33, 1869, and
made his escape January 20 of the same
year, having only served six days of his
term Of imprisonment
At the time of his arrest yesterday after
| noon, the detectives had good reason to be-
lieve that he was on the point of going up
town to commit robbery. When called
upon to surrender he made no resistance,
but accompanied the officers quietly until
they had almost reached the Central Pelce.
Station. At this point, and before the Off
GERS could lay hands upon him, he suddenly
wheeled about and rushed down CarOndelet
street. The officers Immediately gave chase,
at the same time ordering him to halt.
Finding that this was Of no avail, Detec-
tive Pecora opened fire from his Tranter re-
volver and the ring of three shots in quick
succession Immediately brought crowds to
the spot. Apparently unhurt, the negro
continued his flight and turning into Poy
dras street, rushed towards the river. As
he neared the corner Of st. Charles street
gentleman stepped forward to head him off,
but was received by the convict with fearful
blow in the face which landed him full
length on the ground.
Another gentlemen then presented a loaded
revolver at his head. De Isle, however,
was game, and threw him aside with such
force, that he was unable to use his weapon.
Notwithstanding the fact that at least ten
men had now succeeded in taking forcible
| c%al 81 IL
and his physical superiority over his antago-
nists being SO great, that it was only with
difficulty that they succeeded IN dragging
him towards the Police Station.
The crowd had now gathered and num-
bered fully one thousand people, and party
feeling began to run very high. At the
corner of CarOndelet street and Poydras, had
it not been for the exertions Of Capt. Rey
and others the white element in the crowd
would have taken the law into their own
hands and lynched the negro on the spot.
At the same time the opposing element sung
out not to strike him, and even attempted
determined at all hazards to retain posses
sion of their prisoner, and finding that it
had become necessary raised him in their
arms and carried him into the station. In
the struggle his clothes had been completely
torn from his back, and with the exception
of his pantaloons nothing was left to cover
his nakedness.
After having placed him in the stocks at
the Central Station, it was found that one Of
the shots fired from Detective Pecoras re-
volver had taken effect, passing completely
through the tieshy part of bis right thigh,
while over his right eye was a deep cut
made by blow from club. De Isle is a
negro little above ordinary height, but
his magnificent physical proportions would
afford to an artist model well worthy of
being copied.
