Chicago, Oct. l0.-A Washington
special says the appointment of sue
cessOr TO Delano has become dark
and weird mystery, one of the deepest
that the President has ever succeeded
in creating. Certain clues have been
traced in the business but there is
nothing but the darkness of conjec-
ture. remaining. The facts that the posi-
tion has been offered to VIM. Ii. Arm
strong and George Dawson CoIman
are conceded, but their non acceptance
was the last tangible fact that has been
Pathered. The ten days allowed for
the appointment of successor have
expired. There are several cabinet
officers here but they have not lisped
II word upon the subject, and probably
Tor the best of reasons, that they know
nothing about it. The new man is
expected here on Monday to indicate
an acceptance of the position which
lac has neglected to forward by mail or
telegraph.

PottsviIle, Pa, Oct. ll-There was
considerable shooting and breaches Of
the peace ut Shenandoah last night,
and at one time there were fears of Il
riOtOus disturbance. Two men were
shot, one Richar,I Finncll slightly and
Jim John had his throat cut. In at
tempting to make arrests, the Chief
Burgess, constable and police were
frequently shot at, though without
effect. One dispatch states that over
one hundred shots were fired at the
officers. On the principal street to-
day there was much excitement, and
the citizens generally anticipate
another outbreak Tonight. The
Deputy Sheriff was compelled to issue
n proclamation this afternoon. AT
Mahony City there were n number of
incendiury fires. Two dwelling houses
and three stables were burned. Three
men were arrested for melting the
riot. A later dispatch states that dur

shot and killed our people, plundred

Ok Wednesday last, Mrs. Joyce, wife
of Col. Joyce, the dishonest revenue
officer who is imprisoned in the Missouri
Penitentiary Mt Jefferson City, went to
that city from Green Lake, Wis, where
she has been staying since his arrest, to
see her husband. She took room at the
hotel, and thence went to the where phi
son, an affecting interview took place.
During her absence from the hotel, the
United States Marshal, the Assistant
District Attorney and a detective who,
it appears, hcl, Swallowed her and her
baggage all the way from Wisconsin,
procured admission to her room and
seized her trunks. These they subse-
quently proceeded to search, on the sus-
picion that they contained bonds or
other valuable property belonging to
Joyce. Each article Of female apparel,
every piece of baby linen was vigorously
scrutinized, but no securities could be
found, only few friendly letters that
were perused in vain for evidence
of the completely of Mrs. Joyce or her
5-weeks' old baby in the frauds upon the
revenue. OF course, any paper that
would hint q doubt as to the propriety
of this proceeding would thereby convict
itself OF being the subsidized organ of
the WHISKY l1nS- As Tor Inc Sentlnel,
it is satisfied that the overhauling of
Mrs. Joyces baggage was one of the
most noble and glorious achievements
in our history, and was never so impress
ed with the greatness of the American
Republic as when refiectin upon this
heroicdeed. The Marshal. who apologize
ed and said he Thought it was very
small piece of business to be engaged
in" would receive our severest censure
if it were not for the probability that
he is already removed and perhaps

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
From the Whitewater REGISTER.

From the Whitewater heglster
Several of the leading eastern Agrl-
cultural Journals have for some time
past advocated the abolition OF the Ma
tional Grange, and we think that the
proceedings Of the recent ANIMAL meeting
of that body fully Justify the wisdom OF
that counsel. We have read them over
carefully and without prejudice, and the
inevitable conclusion to which we have
come is that practically the National
Grange is of no benefit whatever TO the
farming interests of the country. 1t had
been simply an ornament and a most ex-
pensive one too, and its main result has
been to furnish Got bearths for a lot of
gilt edged loafers whose only sympathy
or identity Of interest with the farmers
is through their pocket books, and who
have drawn their five and ten dollars a
day each from the hard working agrlcui-
tural classes of the south and west. One
of these fellows recently absconded with
$50, GOO of good granger money, and
others VIII follow his example no doubt
is soon as the well fills up again. So
long as the farmers will foot the bills
those functionaries viii keep up great
show of zeal and try to make 1t appear
that the National Grange Is q most IN
dispensable element of success to the
agricultural interest of the country.
But the truth of the case is beginning to
be realized and it is having an apparent
influence on the growth of the order.
Only one new grange has been establish
ed in Iowa the past nine months,
and only in Wisconsin and four
in Minnesota. We should be sorry
to see all form of organization
among the farmers abandoned, for II
rightly managed it is capable of doing
much good, but the days of the Grange
are numbered unless radical change III
the particular above named and also IN
some other respects is effected.

WooL IN THE LUNGS to
the Philadelphia Press, an incident has
occurred within the last few days which
to say the least, is somwhat remarkable.
Our readers, says the Press, have before
this been acquainted with the facts of
Gen. Bakers continuous suffering from
Il gunshot wound received during the
war. 1t appears that while in a paroxysm
of coughing the General elected from
his mouth what was apparently lump
of ''semi-hard'' pus. Upon examination,
it was found that imbedded within it
lay piece of the coarse red cloth such
as is used for The stitching and padding
of coats. Tie piece was circular in form,
about half an inch in diameter, and had
been carried by the force OF the ball
into the lung, where it remained for up
ward OF twelve years. The General is
much improved since the occurrence,
and his friends have every hope of his
ultimate recovery.

WHAT TT MEANS.

The nation under Democracy, III the
opinion of the Republic, means the re-
generated Republic under ex-Confeder-
ate influences. IF this is doubted, the
organization of the House-of Represen-
tatives of the Forty-fourth Congress af-
fords sufficient evidence to prove the as
sertion correct one.
The fail of the Speaker gravel which
announced the organization Of the House
was the signal of new departure, for
the first time in twenty years. loyalty,
tried and true one-armed and one leg
ceI soldiers brave fellows who had
shed their blood III the defense Of their
countrv-were forced to take back seats
while The rebel element, whitewashed
for the occasion, pressed forward to re-
ceive at ihe hands of nation they tried
to destroy the gifts Of official patron
age.
The day that saw tired Union men,
who had faced without finching the re
bel guns on many hard-fought field,
dismissed from the House of Repres-
entatives to make room for the men who
had marched in the rebel ranks was a
sad day in American history-for it
spoke of an ingratitude hardly paralleled
in the history of the world. Indebted to
MANNED heroes more than any official
patronage can ever repay, the chosen re-
representatives. Of a great nation unblush
ingly dismissed them from position long
held with honor, and rewarded with
place and power the very men who plot
tel the overthrow of the Government
whose bounty they are now eager to en-
JOY.
Let us pray that this disgraceful scene
may not be repeated on a larger scale
that the American people viii not quiet
" submit to q wrong so glazing, and al
Injustice so unpardonable-that next
wear their voice will be heard, in tones
of thunder, calling again tried Unior

THE attempt of the man Thomas or
Thomassen to blow up steamer by
concealing a package of dynamite on
board, causes many inquiries as to what
this agent is. In appearance it looks
like damp Graham flour, and is COM
posed of silicous ashes or pulverlzed
earth saturated with three times its
weight of nitro-glycerine. 1t burns
slowly in the open air, but explodes
with tremendous, incomprensible force
when confined within n small space.
Under the latter circumstances, a sud
den thump sends it flying into flame.
It is safer to handle than nitro glycer
inc, but it is easy to arrange package
so that slight jar or conclusion will
cause its explosion.

The Weser Zeitung of Bremen, Dec.
s, contains the following account of the
capture and massacre of a detachment
of Egyptian troops by Abyssinians,
briefly reported by cable some time ago:
We have bad new from Abyssinia. An
expedition of about 1000 men sent by
the Khedive under the command of
Gen. Arendrop to subjugate the Abys-
sinians was drawn into ambush, and
nearly every man slaughtered. Gen.
Arendrod, the Pasha and many other
officers were literally hacked in pieces,
and their heads were stuck on spears be-
fore the Abyssinian tents, and their bod
les sent to the wild beasts.
MacKiIop Pasha is said to be alive
and a prisoner. OF Col. Kouth, the
American, nothing is know, and only
officer Schweizer escaped. An expedi-
ton comprising $4,000 men, infantry,
cavalry and artillery is to set out from
Cairo without delay and will be joined
by every American officers in the
Egyptian service, including Col. Stone.

THE export of American dry goods
to Europe has attracted the attention OF
the British Minister of Foreign Affairs
in an odd way. Some enterprising
merchant shipped package OF American
calico to Havre, France. The British
Consul at that point saw it. bought a
bit, and sent the sample to Lord Derby.
The latter has forwarded it to Manches-
ter, where it is being gravely handled,
examined, and pulled to pieces by
British manufacturers. The London
Telegraph frankly tells the latter that
they are losing their supremacy by
cheating in their goods. 1t says that
the s'trick' has been found out aud
twill not bear repetition. But the
superior cheapness OF British calicoes
has been due to this very trick. Cheat
ing and cheapness have been cause and
effect. If both cease together, as they
naturally would, our future control OF
the markets of the world would seem
assured. But that control is dependent
upon the removal of the burdens which
now handican our manufacturers. Free
trade and sound currency are what
