New York, Is. The members of the COM
mittee of investigation in the Beecher scan
DIAL refuse to give any information as to
the progress of the investigation, or what

likely to be concluded. They only say it is

one.
John Mitchell, the Irish patriot of the rev.
olution of lS4S, sails for Ireland tomorrow,

election.
The post norton in the case of Mrs. May
nahand, who with her husband was supposed
to have committed suicide by taking Paris
Green, shows that death was caused by
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Her husband
is now at Belvedue hospital and is not ex-
sected to live, but there is no evidence OF
poison in his case.
The question is now raised whether the ac-
ton of the Aldermen calling for removal of
the Mayor was legal, the resolutions not hav-
ing been, sent to the Assistant Aldermen for
concurrence. The Mayor said yesterday that
he should take his time in answering the
charges sent him by the governor; tina. he
had done nothing but what he believed right
and would do over again under the same cir
cumstances; "that Tammany kicked up this
muss because they don't like an administra-
ton that cleans out all the gambling houses
and catches the thieves"

their action.

President declares his intention to execute
the civil service laws so far as he has power.

Washington at their own expense for exami-
nation, as the Chief Examiner will not be
able to make regular visits to the five civil
service divisions, there being no appropria-
tons to pay expenses.
The same despatch says that the West is
taking up very little currency under the new
law and it is not believed that the circulation
of any of the Eastern banks will de distrib-
uted before Congress meets.

award bill will meet in Washington on the

Washington, 10. Gen. Pope says in re-
lation to the trading firms at Dodge City, who
have in violation of law and to the incalcuta-
BILE injury of peaceful and honest farmers
and frontier settlers of Kansas, established
trading posts or rather grog shops on the pan
handle of Texas, rs miles along the Arkan-
sas, to trade with the buffalo hunters and
ruffians who have invaded the Indian country
and committed violent and inexcusable out
RACES upon Indians, he has no word of sym.
pathy or concern and if he should send troops
to the locality of these unlawful trading es-
adjustments it would be to break them up
and not protect them. He says that to the
INSCRIPTIONS and illegal transactions of
these people the murder of innocent settlers
on the frontier are largely attributed and
they ought to be punished and not protect
ed.
except to careless stragglers outside the mi ILL
tary lines and to a few remote settlers, he
thinks we are fully able to give protection
from Indian outrages.
