is not a legal or equitable title TO the pro-
perty, and that the title rests wholly and
| absolutely in the United States. The
1 court directs that the property be taken,
/ held and possessed by a receiver to be ap-
pointed by the Court of Claims, who shall
| take charge of the same for use, till Con-
] gress shall by law direct that the same shall
be disposed Of. The receiver is not to be

perty until it has been adjudicated by the
! Supreme Court to be the property of the
/ United States.
Paymasters TO be Appointed.
The President will tomorrow appoint
/ two paymssterS in the army to fill vacancies
/ in that corps, caused by the Senate refusing
/ to confirm two nominees for the positions
! before adjournment. These appointments
viii be made in accordance with a decision
Of the Attorney General to-day, to the ef-
feet that the President has authority to fill
these vacancies.
a Tariff Decision.
The Treasury Department has decided
that where goods are imported under the
acJ Of 1870, for transportation without ap-
pTaisement to an interior party, they are
liable to duty under the tariff in force at
the time Of their first arrival in this coun-
try, and not under an act passed subsequent
thereto, but before their arrival at the i'll
terror port. This decision may involve a
change in some important decisions here
tOfOrs made under the act Of 1870.

Corpus Christi Ter, April 24.-To |

c.: The POstofiice was robbed and |

The Attorney GeneraIshiP.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Edward PieuepOnt, as matters stand to-
night, is the coming man for Attorney /
General. though a strong effort is on foot TO |
defeat the formal tender Of the place to |
him.
DeIanO's Dubious Position.
The Star takes it for granted that Mr.. /
DelanO is going out, and says that TumOTs
to-day affirm that the Hon. Henry Z. /
Blow. of Missouri has been rendered the /
portfolio of the Interior Department, and
tuat he has indicated that he will accept |
the Office. A prominent gentleman from
the far West, to-day, gave it as his opinion
that Secretary DelanO's successor will be a
Western man, and probably Californian.
He declined to mention the name of the
later, but some guess that it is Senator
Sargent, and others that it is ex-senator
Cole.
Special to the Cincinnati .Commercial.
It has been positively aScertained that
Mr.. DslanO did receive an intimatiOn from
the President not long since that his resig-
nation would be accepted, and the change
wOuld doubtless have been made by this
time if the newspapers had not got IN their
work with the facts as a text. The init
NATION that DelanO, senior, has not whack-
ed up with John in all Of his alleged i'll
gotten gains is received with a great deal
of incredulity by those who know all
parties concerned. As the matter stands,
DelanO Will possibly remain in office for a
while, b"t only long enough, it is believed,
to permit the affair 70 blow over, when he
will step down and out with rather moro
dignity than is possible just now.
sam Bard
has probably received his quietus at last.
A dispatch from Bard announcing that he
would be here TO confer with the President |
was answered by the Postmaster General,
under instructions from the President, TO |
TIE effect. in very plain terms, that it was
not desirable that Mr.. Bard should return !
here; that be might resign by the 1st Of
June, if he chose, otherwise he would be
removed.
Ex-senator Chandler
SAYS he has spent $4,000 in his attempt to !
secure the conviction of Buell., the news
paper correspondent.
Special 10 tile Cincinnati Enquirer.
Addition, Division and silence.
A dispatch to Forney's Chronicle, from
represents that there is a
great deal Of excitement growing out Of |
the refusal Of State Treasurer Mackey TO
open his books for the examination Of the |
committee appointed by the last Legisla-
ture, and allow an expert to examine his !
accounts. This refusal increases the pub
lc belief that there is something rotten in
Denmark, and it is thought will be a heavy 7
weight on the Republican party of Penn ,
sylyania in the ensuing canvass.
A Radical Ru-KIux at Large.
One Of the Republican Congressional
leaders, prominent for years in the howl Of 3
Ku-KluX outrages in the South, appeared
to-day Sunday On Newspaper Row, in a ]
violent and excited condition, and inquired
of three or FoUr correspondents for Col. Don
Piatt, with whom nc intimated be had an I
account to settle. The ez-COngressman !
was around with a navy revolver, which he I
cooked and flOurished extensively, threat !
aning to call TO account any newspaper cor
respondent who should hereafter assail him. Z
He was so drunk that be was liable to I
shoot any one, whether friend or foe; but !
whether drunk or sober, armed or not, his /
Radical principles and'afiliatiOns with the
are a complete protection,
50 far as the vile partisan police and judi /
riarv Of this District are concerned. If he /
we're a Democrat or SOUtherner they /
would pounce upon him quick enough, 3
hustle him into lhe Police Court, and put {
hin, through, while tUs Republican press {
