WASHINGTON.
Moses Calls for TraAns.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - Gov. Moses OF
south Carolina, this morning made formal
demand upon the President for federal troops
to aid him in maintaining peace and order In
that state.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
The internal revenue receipts to-day were
WIS, 05l; total for the month, l,545,S77; since
the beginning of the fiscal year, $25, 465, 479.
The Redemption Agency.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The statement that
the suspension of the National Bank of Re
demption Agency Is likely to be permanent is
pronounced to be- without foundation. The
temporary stoppage of redemption springs en-
trely from the fact that the law required re-
demptiou to begin at once before any prepare
ton for asserting redeemed money could be
made. Nearly $12.000,000 of the original B
per cent. deposit of sly 100000 were exhausted
before the assortment could be got under way
As the treasurer cannot call upon the banks to
reimburse him for his redemption of their
notes till the notes are assorted, the agency had
really only about S., $780, 900 to upon after it
was fairly started The gap was too gre to
be closed and temporary stoppage was newt
able. AS soon as the lost ground is regained
redemption will be resumed and there is no
likelihood that another stoppage ever will be
necessary. The force is large enough to handle
the work as it comes in and is daily becoming
more expert. There is no essential difficulty
in carrying out the provisions Of the law.
New York. Sept. 26- A Washington spec
ial states that although the Secretary of State
denied that Germany was attempting to acquire
the island of Porto Rico, it is known that he
promptly made inquiries relative thereto.
1t is stated that Russia is fully advised of the
intention of Bismarck TO acquire a foothold in
America, and with the assurance that we will
not permit the transfer of colonial possessions
in America from one European nation to an
other, is prepared to ally with the United
States in tho event that Germany determines
TO force her aspirations
The dispatches of the Sd inst, on the subject
of whether Germany was to have depot in
the Antilles, closed as follows:
''In the event that the State Department
adopts and adberes to the doctrine laid down in
the message of 1869, which 1 have designated
as the Grant doctrine it will be construed as
determination on the part of this government
not to allow Germany to have even a depot or
naval station in American waters. Moreover,
in sympathizing with the Carlst movement
and the refusal on her part to recognize Sierra
no, which fact is duly affirmed by official des-
patches received in Washington last night, it
is regarded as an omen of war in which the
United States will necessarily be involved, hn-
lers the broad proposition laid down by Presi-
don't Grant, that European governments having
colonial possessions in American waters can
no longer transfer them from one power to an
other should be acquiesced in by England,
Spain and Denmark"

New York. Sept. ga New York special
of last night says that during the day a number
of gentlemen on both sides were engaged in an
effort to again bring together conference COM
mittee, but as the Republicans refuse to allow
the White Leagues to secure a majority on the
Board OF State Canvassers, it seems to be set

Two sloops-ofwar, which have been expect
ed for some days. passed over the bar this eve
ming, and are now lying at the foot of Canal
street.
NO Search for Arms.
No search for arms, said to be held by the
White League, was made to-day, and the peace
of the city has remained undisturbed In the
afternoon consultation was held between
Kellogg and others, and it was decided, after
ri iSpu Scsn hat orf

thought, preclude the possibility of further
rioting for some weeks, at least

THE MECHANICS TRIENNIAL.-This celebra-
ton, which comes off on Wednesday evening
next in the Mechanics Hall. promises to be a
very interesting event. The preparations are
quite extensive, and an efficient committee is
engaged to see that the whole affair is conduct
ed on generous scale. The supper will be an
elegant one, to which will be added the fruits
of the season. Speeches, toasts and songs will
fill up the balance of the evening, and we look
for good report from this excellent body of
men. They generally do, whatever they under
take. efficiently. 1t is very desirable that the
members take their tickets at once, that it may
be known how many plates are to be provided

The Portland daily press., 1874-09-28

The long contemplated fair under the aus
pices of Bosworth Post, G. A. R., will be opened
Monday evening, Oct. 9Th, with an address by
Hon. Charles P. Kimball. The fair will con-
tinue throughout the week, afternoons and
evenings. Some idea of the extent of this ex-
hibitioD may be realized from the fact that all
the rooms on the floor of the City Hall will be
used, and all those on the floor above that can
be made available. The great work of getting
up such fair has been so divided among a
large number of subcommittee, all intent on
the excellence of their speciality, that no part
can be failure. In an advertisement else
where may be found mention of many of the
novel features ,of the fair. One of the most
interesting departments will be the museum of
war implements and relics. The locality has
been thoroughly ransacked for specimens, and
enough have escaped the hand that beats swords
into ploughshares to show what hideous agents
have been used to aid Death in his work. An
other feature is the picture gallery. Not only
have the owners iof many private collections
generously offered them for the occasion, but a
large number of chromos Just from New York
will be offered for sale at maryelously low
prices. In the ''birds nest there will be at
least a thousand representations of the sweet
voiced and rich plumaged tribes. The display
of the goods for sale on the fancy tables will be
we'll worth looking at if one cannot purchase.
Of these tables there will be twelve besides
flower booth, soda fountain, stock exchange
and grocery store. These last are novelties in
Portland fair, but We have no doubt but
they will be very successful and even popular.

replenish its treasury, which during the winter
season is SO inadequate to meet the urgent
