in questions which belong only to the eccle-
siastical domain; and notwithstanding my
deep respect for my ever gracious sovereign,
and my perfect submission to her authority,
am and will always be obliged to refuse sep
ulture to J. Guiberd in consecrated ground, SO
long as my Bishop forbids me to grant it.
A CHICAGO Times Washington special says
the whisky men from Chicago and st. Louis
make up about as despairing crowd as has
ever visited that city. The Governments
move toward selling the distilleries and
grounds attached for fines assessed against
the owners, is fatal blow to the whisky
men. They hope to get a little longer time
before being thrust into the cold world, pen
niless. In their coming fight to keep out Of
the Western penitentiaries they have made
assaults upon Secretary Bristow, but he is i'm
movable, and says the work must go on.

the inquiry in the Red Cloud Agency affairs
is In the hands Of competent gentlemen, with

ported to him without receiving attention, he
pronounccs absolutely false, and charges sim
ilar to these now made, quite as serious and
rather more bitter, were made against this
agency eight years ago, when the Secretary Of
the Interior at once instituted an investiga-
tion through commission, of which Bishop
Hare was made Chairman.
AWAsHINGToN special says the medical off,
GERS Of the Navy and Treasury Departments
are very much excited over the report Of the
existence Of yellow fever at Norfolk, Va. The
report has not yet been fully verified, but the
information comes from such sources, and is
so positive in character that there seems to be
reasonf for apprehension that the scourge is in
close proximity to the northern States. A
telegram has been received by the Supervis-
ing Surgeon of the marine hospital, intimat-
ing that the fever was brought there by ves-
sci from the Barbados Islands. The Presi-
dent Of the Board Of Health has brought the
subjectto the attention of that body, and the
result will probably be that temporary
quarantine will Immediately be ordered
against Norfolk
A CASE involving the constitutionality Ct
the amended postage law has been brought
in the United States Circuit Court in New
York. A gentleman offers q book for mail
transmission to Philadelphia from this city,
postage at the old rates being offered and re-
fused He applies for mandamus to CON-
pei the Postmaster to receive the package
The argument Of the applicant is that the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, into which
the amendment increasing the rate on third
class mail matter was inserted, was not bill
for revenue; that the amendment did provide
ways and means for raising revenue; that the
Senate has no constitutional authority to
originate measures for that purpose, that be-
