city, has returned.

no Use to the thieves.
+ The Secretary of the Interior has

gist for the exploration of the Black
Hills country, and he will begin work
Immediately.
The trouble between Treasurer
Spinner and Secretary Bristow is said
to be about the appointment of a
cashier for the Treasury Department.
Spinner sent in the name of n man
whom he wanted appointed, but the
Secretary did not see fit to do so.
Spinner appealed to the President,
who declined to interfere, and now
Spinner threatens to resign unless his
candidate is appointed. The CORES
pOndent says that if be tenders his
resignation Bristow will certainly
accept it.

New York. March 26.-The Police
Commissioners having notified the
parties getting up the parade for Sun
day, in honor of John Mitchell, that
it cannot be permitted, as such parades
are in violation of the law, the demon

The lower part Of the city is COM
paratively dull to-day. The number
of people in the streets this morning
was perhaps little less than ordinary
week days, but very little business
was done. Large congregations assem-
blcd in the Protestant Episcopal and
Roman Catholic Churches, and the
Lentcn services were of the usual inn
pressive character. Nearly all the
Courts are closed, also the Stock and
| Gold Exchanges, and among the
brokers the day is as closely observed
as il it was legal holiday; the banks
are obliged TO keep open, but they are
doing little business. There are some
counter orders for Government bonds,
| and something has been done in
Foreign Exchange, but all on the
basis of yesterdays prices and rates.

Providence, r. l., March 26.-The
Republican State Convention was in
session all night, and this morning
nominated Henry Lippett, of Provi-

site number of votes, and Henry J..
Fisson, of Little Compton, for Lieut..
Governor; J. Waddcmnn, for Secre-
tary of State; Willard Sayles, for At
torney General; Samuel Clark, for
General Treasurer. The chief reason
of the prolonged struggle over the
Governor was the opposition of the
temperance men to Lippett. The
prohibition convention. will meet on
Monday, and the Democratic conven-
ton tomorrow.

THERE is q new proposition for the
settlement of the Louisiana troubles,
which is said 70 be favored by the
administration. It is this: Louisiana
has law, by which. in case of the resig.
nation of the Governor and Lient. Gov
ernor, a special election to fill these
Offices is provided for. Gov. Kellogg
has repeatedly declared that he has NO
desire to retain his Office, and if he is
honest in these declarations he will be
willing to resign. The Lieut. Governor
should then follow his example, thus
giving the people On opportunity for
new election. This would be more sat.
;sfactory than for Congress to order
an election. The sooner the people OF
that State, without intimidation, can
have new election the better.

SINCE the discussion Of the interference
of the military with the legislature Of
Louisiana, Gen. Garfield is reported to
have related the following bit of history
which is not generally known: At the
opening of the Thirty-eighth Congress,
when it was inferred that clerk would
not correctly cali the roll of Representa-
.ives elect, two hundred soldiers we're
detailed and secretly placed under the
basement of the Capitol to act under
directions of Thad. Stevens, in case of a
political emergency brought on by the
Clerk.

The subcommittee that have been
investigating the Louisiana troubles
have sent to Congress their conclusions
from the evidence taken by them. Their
report is by no means satisfactory to the
entire committee, and Messrs. Hoar,
Fry and Wheeler-remaining members
of the Louisiana investigating committee
have gone to make a personal investi-
cation. The attorneys for the Republi-
can side in this investigation claim that
they were mot allowed by the commit
tee to introduce their evidence Of general
intimidation. and violence" No com.
mittee can now make report that will
suit both the political parties. Accord
ing to the report Of the subcommittee
the Republicans have exaggerated the
"Iouisiana outrages." We now await
the report Of the other members Of the
Investigating committee.

The Board of Trade, of Kansas City
held a meeting last Monday to consider
the proposition for the Government to
extend the same aid to a branch of the
Texas Pacific railroad from Memphis.
Tenn, to Springfield Mo-, as has been
given to the main line. A series Of
resolutions was adopted stating the deep
interest of the people of the Missouri
valley in the construction of this route
to the Pacific coast, and calling upon the
Legislatures of Miss vi, Kansas and
Nebraska to take action in this matter
and endeavor to have their Representa-.
tives in Congress vote for this bill. If a
road was builded from Memphis to
Springfield, Mo-, the proposed road
from Fort Scott to that place would be
built, which would give the West a
direct line connecting with Southern
railroads and the Mississippi river. o..

All the Democratic and so-called Gin

in the Louisiana matter. 1t is is thus
stated by the St. Louis Denocrat: No
Legislature existed; the body I'D. by
Wiltz was never a Legislature, becau e
it never organized or even pretended to
organize, in obedience to law. Being
nut legally organized, it could do 10

testing against the recent outrages on
the Louisiana Legislature, Wendell
Phillips was loudly called for, and, upon
the invitation of the chairman of the
meeting, made his way to. the platform
amid applause and Kisses. He made a
long address; defending President Grant
and the military, and as a citizen of Bos-
ton he protested against the resolutions
being adopted, saying:
MY anxiety is not for the administ:a-
ton, but for the oppressed people OF the
South. Should you pass these resolu-
tions the blood of one hundred black
men and one hundred white men would
be on their skirts. Four millions of
negroes were called into freedom to save

the president to protect these persons

soME of the newspaper correspondents
are after Senator Logan pretty lively for
having the report Of his speech in the
Congressional Record enlivened With a
cut of the skull and cross-bones. We
don't know how appropriate this CIT was
for the Senator'S arguments, but we
think if the pages of the Record were
interspersed with occasional illustrations,
portraits of salary grabbers, Pacific
Mail thieves, ETC., it might be more
popular with the public and give some
equivalent for its great cost. Contain
ing. as it does, 50 many bqncomb

FROM computations made from the
observations Of the recent transit o.

former measurements. If this ratio is
constant the entire distance between us
and the sun will be overcome In l 40

made report upon the condition and
Importance of the fur trade of Alaska.
As an agricultural country Mr.. Elliot
says that Alaska is worthless but on
account of the revenue from the fur
trade the country is valuable, the Seal
islands alone, he says, would not remain
unsold for many days if they were offered
for seven miilions,-the price paid by
our Government for Alaska. Mr.. Elliot

VICE. president WILSON is reported
to have written . letter to the Spring
field Repssbliccn denying he ever said
that he believed that the Republican
party would be beaten at the next cleo
tion, and ,says that necessity exists for
it's continuance in power. Mr.. Wilson
gives some good advice to the party: 1t
must declare emphatically against q
third term; must adopt a conciliatory
though firm policy with the Southern
States eq lal rights must be defended,
but acts of doubtful constitutionaiity
ought to be avoided; and last, though
not least, he advises that the door be
opened to the Liberals whose hearts are
still with the Republican party, that their
leading men be taken into confidence
end some of tiein called to high places.
