New York, October 25.-The Herald's
Washington special says that Vice
President Wilson made flying visit to
Washington on Saturday. remaining
only a few hours, and returning to New
York, He came to see for himself the
effect in political circles here OF the
appointment of Secretary Chandler to a
seat in the Cabinet. The open break in
the Republican camp caused by this
appointment offers Wilson an oppor-
tunity for his own we'll known ambition
to be Grants successor, and his visit
was in the nature Of reconnaissance to
learn the extent Of the latest rebellion
against Grant, which is SO pronounced
that to kill him off Senator Cameron
would probably let the Pennsylvania
election 60 by default. Furthermore,
the early resignation OF Postmaster
General Jewell is predicted by his
friends, his withdrawal from the Office
being the beginning of the breaking up
OF the Cabinet, which, it is believed.
was apprehended as soon ~ Chandler
vas made the Secretary Of the Interior.
The resignation OF Mr.. Jewell from the
Cabinet would allow him to put himself,
with a good grace, in the hands of his
friends, who are DESTROYS Of securing
him for the position of Vice President
in 1876. The decapitation of Assistant
Secretary Cowan on the return Of Chand-
Ter from Michigan will be the signal for
the resignation Of Secretary Bristow,
who will then. also. be free to accept
the ministrations of his friends in fur
therance of his nomination for Presi-
dent. All this shows the progress of
the movement inside the Republican
party against its control by the Presi-
dent. and indicates the strength Of the
Bri.to~-Jewell com bination in the Cabi-
net. Doubtless the formidable aspect Of
this combination for Republican ticket
next near vas too much for the peace of
mind for Vice President Wilson and
FASTENED his speedy return East.

PROMINENT citizen of Upper Aust

A PROMINENT citizen Of Upper Austin
WAS advised, the ReUeiLe says, to take a
rum sweat for a severe cold with
which he was suffering. The directions
were to seat himself on cane bottom
chair, incase his form in blankets, and
let his wife place vessel containing the
rum under the chair, she to light the
spirit, and he to remain on the chair
and let the fumes which should arise
play about his manly form. The expert
ment was tried few evenings since ;
but the citizen did not remain on the
chair more than two seconds after the
the match was applied to the rum, and
now he is unable to sit on q cane bottom
or any other kind Of chair, even with
his clothes on.

The Western Union Telegraph and
s. Louis Bridge Monopolies.

Chicago, October IS. The Western
Union Telegraph Company having ex-
hausted every other recourse to prevent
the wires of the Atlantic and Pacific
Company from reaching St.-Louis, have
conspired with the st. Louis Bridge Com
pany to prevent the Atlantic and Pacific
from stringing their wires across the
bridge, under the guise of law. The
wires already up have been cut down
across the bridge and every effort made
to cripple the line. The very idea OF
any competition whatever seems to give
the Western Union the horrors.
The erection of the Atlantic and Pa
ciic telegraph line, by relieving the peo-
pie of the grinding oppression of the
Western Union monopoly, was benefit
to the entire coast. 1t lowered the price
of telegraphic communication between
San Francisco and the East one half,
and thereby earned the thanks of all
whose necessities compel them to use
the wires, and earned also the undying
hate Of the monopolists, whose grasp
upon the purses Of their victims was
most reluctantly relaxed. And now the
telegraph brings US an account Of an
other outrageous attempt on the part Of
the Western Union, in conjunction with
another monopoly, the great bridge COM
pany, to retain their hold, and exclude
the city of ST. Louis from the benefits
arising from competition in the tele-
graphic business. 1t is to be hoped
that this scandalous effort to maintain q
wrong by force may be properly rebuked.
TRANps.-The Board of Charities Of

ems ere long to become an intolerable
nuisance.
