Washington, May l2.-Nothing is
known at the Executive mansion of
the reported probable resignation of
Secretary Fish at.the end of the fiscal
year. Ex-Secfetary Pratt called on
the President and Secretary Bristow
to-day, and subsequently visited the
Internal Revenue office, where he had
n consultation with Mr.. Douglass. He
has not decided when to formally en-
ter upon the duty rs Com m issiuner,
but will do so probably within a week.
His commission was signed to-day.
The Attorney General in response
to an Inquiry from the Secretary Of
War, gives it as his opinion that the
enrolment before the proclamation
and orders mentioned in the act of
April 22d, 1872, does not preclude a
claim for bounty, where the company
or regiment was mustered into the
military service prior to July 22d,
1862, under said proclamation and or
ders.
1t is reported that Col. Sheats, Sixth
Auditor of the Treasury has been re-
quested to resign.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 12.-Judge
Dillon, of the United States Circuit
Court, to-day rendered an important
opinion affirming the validity of the
Iowa railroad tariff act of March 23d,
1873, in its application to the Bur
lington & Missouri River road, now
operated by the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad. This is the first
decision in the State by the federal
court on the subject. The decision
rests upon two grounds; first, that the
State never made any grant to the
company in its charter, of the exclu-
sive right 10 fix its own tolls, and
second, if it did, the right was sur
rendered by the company to the State
when it accepted the land grant in
July. 1856, agreeing that the State
might thereafter enact such rules and
regulations in respect to the company
as it saw fit, not inconsistent with
that act and the act of Congress max
ing the grant.

Montgomery, Ala, May I2.-The
Legislative committee, investigating
the election of U. S. Senator Spencer,
took a recess to-day. The testimony

secured the presence of U. S. troops in
Alabama for the avowed purpose OF
intimidating Democratic voters that
after the election of the legislature, it
was $und that the Democrats would
control it, and in consequence the so.

organized; that money was used to
bribe the Republican members opposed
to Spencer, and that this money was
obtained from United States officials.
The clerk OF the court house legis-
lature" and one of Spencer's conf
dental friends testified to all these
facts, and that in addition to himself,
J. J. Kinds and c. G. Sheats were
employed constantly in Spencer's in
terest, and that the members of the
| legislature were bribed with money
and appointments and promises OF APP
pointments, State and Federal.

of spectators. Twenty persons were
arrested.

The Indian Contracts.

Chicago, May ia Washington
special asserts positively that the re-
tirement of Secretary Fish, at the close
of the fiscal year, is certainly deter
mined upon, and quotes from an edi
torial in the National Republican,
which, the correspondent says, eman-
nted from the White House, and
which reviews, in high compliment
ary terms, Fish's record as Secretary,
and plainly intimates that his retire
ment is a settled thing.
A special to the New Orleans Re
publican from San Antonio, says that
Generals Hatch and Davis, U. S.
Army, arrived from the Rio Grande
to-day, and report that the raids are
becoming more bold, and frequent
murders are constantly occurring.
The civil authorities on this side are
under control of Mexicans, and pre-
vent the U. S. troops from making
arrests. Unless summary measures
are taken, the country between the
Rio Grande and the Neuces will soon
be in the hands of Mexican outlaws.

The same special says that Myron
Colony, the commercial editor of the
Democrat, who has been very active
in nnearthing the recent whisky
frauds, has received information that
he will be assassinated unless he leaves
the city before next Saturday night.
The 9th annual convention of the

Louisville, Ky, May ia Lexing-
ton dispatch, just received, says that
John G.. Breckenridge is sinking rap
idly, and death may be expected at
any moment. A difficult surgical
operation was performed upon him
yesterday by DIR. Hayes, of Philadel-
phia, and DR.. Sayres, of New York,
which it was hoped would afford him
permanent, as it did temporary, relief,
but since this morning he has been
falling His physicians think his ILL
ness is the result of a blow received
from fragment of shell during the
war.

SNew York, May IA number of
protests against the recent awards by
the Indian Commissioners of contracts
for supplying tobacco have been made
by unsuccessful bidders. Among the
number are the we'll known houses of
P. Lorillard, Dohan, Carroll &
Co., of this city, and Dohan &
TAFT, of philadelphia, who pro-
test that the inspector appointed by
the Commission, being a leaf inspec-
tor, was Incompetent to judge correctly
of the various conditions and qualities
of plug tobacco, and that the inspection
was irregular, as the inspector had
taken out samples for consultation.
Commissioner Smith says the entire
trouble was, the contract had been
awarded outside of the city, and bro
kers and others engaged in the trade
were giving vent to their disappoint-
ment. 1t would be hard to get any
one connected with New York trade
who would not have his own personal
prejudices. The tobacco which Prof.
Marsh found fault with was bought in
New York and had been passed by
broker who called himself an expert.
The Commissioner has determined to
take no further action in the case, but
to hold the contractors to a strict in
depreciation of both the spirit and let
tel of the contract. The investigating
committee, suggested hy Prof Marsh's
disclosures, has already been appoint
ed, and one of the Commissioners is
now making an investigation in the
Indian country.

Huntington, Pa, May l2.-About
nine hundred men and women went
TO Fishers and Whitehead's mines
to-day, and compelled the miners to
suspend operations, and then sacked
their houses and appropriated the
valuables. The strikers have become
ungovernable and declare that all the
new men must and shall leave the
region. If the men had resisted,
blood would have been shed freely.

Lexington, KY, May 12.-General
Breckenridge is still alive, but sinking
