be made In accordance with o decision
Of Attorney General Williams to-day,
to the effect that the President has aii-
thority to fill these vacancies.
Secretary Delano says no believes
the recent newspaper charges affecting
his official conduct are the result Of an
atrocious conspiracy to compel his re.
tircment from the Cabinet. He is in
receipt Of numerous letters from his
friends in various parts of tho country
advising him 10 abandon his purpose
of resigning about this time He says
In accordance with this advice aud bis
duty to himself and the Republican
party, he has postponed his resigna-
ton indefinitely.
The Treasury Department has dcci-
ded that when goods are imported,
without appraiaement, to au interior
port, they arc liable to duty under the
tariff In force at the time of their fret
arrival In this country, and not under
an act passed subsequent thereto, but
before their arrival ct the interior

some important decision made under
the act OF 1870.

Fort Madison has romance, which
shows the dangers OF getting married
too often. The following dispatch
from Fort Madison tells the tale:
Some eighteen months ago family
by the name Of Oaks lived happily to-
gother in Green Bay, few miles above
this city. During the fret of the
winter of 1884, they had boarder,
John Gardner, who was treated ss one
OF the family. In due time Inc head
of the family took Il into his head to
shake OF this mortal coil. The bloom.
ing widow then collected her funds
together, and moved 10 this city, and
In few days was married TO Gardner,
scarcely one month having passed
since the decease Of Oaks. River nav
igation opened, and the newly welded
pair moved to La Crosse. In about .
month Mrs. Gardner came back alone,
with the story that her liege lord had
deserted her, taking oil tho ready cash
and leaving her destitute. Then news
came that he had died, and that she
was again widow. Another man be-
gan to pay her attention, and they
were soon engaged, with the day set
for the wedding. But Gardner in the
flesh appeared last week, and desired 10
continue their former relations, but
she was not in favor Of reconstruction.
At this he became wrathy, aud declar.
ed that il they were married he would
shoot both Of them. Then followed
an exciting scene, which ended In her
going to a Justice and swearing her life
against him. In the meantime he de-
parted for parts unknown, and tho
gushing grass widow and her intended
have gone to Burlington to permanent
ly reside.

MAYOR BARRETT.

Our dispatches Of the oath inst, an.
nounced the death of Mayor Arthur d.
Barrett, of that city, on that day, at
his residence in st. Louis. He was
elected about thirty days ago, and
only few days since was inaugurated
into Office. lie was elected as the reg
nlar and straight Democratic candi-
date, in triangular fight, his two
opponents being Overstoltz, indie.
pendent, and Mcguire, Republican.
He beat the latter by small majority,
but did not have a majority over both
of his opponents. He was q young
man Of respectable parts, aud quite an
active and public spirited citizen. He
had been President OF the st. Louis
Fair for at least one year, and was
actively engaged in that, aud many
other of st. Louis enterprises. In the
late election he received the supper,
of young America, and drew strongly
from that element in the other parties.
The dispatches fail to give ne the cause
Of his death, so suddenly, just as be
had succeeded to q position which
ought to DO grateful to tho ambition
of any man.

A Catholic statistician claims that
out Of the 100000 souls in the Unit
cd States, 5,76l,242 are Roman Cath.
olics. They occupy 6,920 stations,
chapels, and churches; they have the
services Of 1878 priests, six apos.
tolic vicars, forty-nine bishops, nine
archbishops, and one cardinal. That
they are increasing, is quito obvious.
They already have eighteen theologic.
al schools, or seminaries with nearly
1000 students; over 1000 schools Of
all grades, and more than 300 asylums
and hospitals. The Jurisdiction of
these prelates has . very wide range.
from 1900 souls in the diocese of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, to 100000 in that of
Chicago /; and from the archbishopric
of Oregon, comprising 1000, to that of
New York, rated at 100000. These
figures are stupendous.-Es.

The Hon. Hugh Mccullough, ex.
Secretary of the Treasury, Is writing
. series Of articles on finance. Speak.
ing of French finances, he says:
I" It is in most respects better than
that Of any nation in the world. Her
waste places have been restored; her
industries have been stimulated into
unprecedented activity; her exports
largely exceeding her imports, have
made her great creditor nation, SC
that gold has been steadily drawn to
her from England, from the United
States, and even from Germany, until
the Bank of France holds in Its strong
rooms the enormous sum OF $500, OOO,-
600 of coin and bullion, and its notes,
although not absolutely convertible are
only the tenth of l per cent. discount.
If her prostration was astonishing by
its suddenness and completeness, her
rccuperatiyo power seems still more
wonderful. Tits undeniable that no
country in Europe has been SO pros.
porous % France has been during the
two past years. In no other country
has labor been 20 rewarded. In mono
has there been go little monetary or
commercial disturbance. It is an
anomaly, in tho financial history of
nations, that the conquering nation to
which an enormous indemnity has
been paid, has been from tho begin
ming ofthe payment of the instalments
subject to greater financial disorder
and embarrassment than the nation
from which the indemnity was ex-

The last disgraceful act of the white

which they went back upon their sol

fore commented upon. The Chicago
Inter. Oceosa correspondent gives the
following authentic history of the At.
fair:
1. II must be remembered that, dur.
ing tho carly part Of the session of the
Hoar-Wheeler Investigating Commit
tee, the Democrats, BY letter to that
committee, agreed to rest their case
with them ; but no positive action eth.
or way was taken until February 9Th,
when the original articlcs of agree,
ment submitted by Congressman
Wheeler, were adopted by the Con-
sentative caucus, In secret session, by
vote of 80 to 81.
From the agreement quote as fol-
lows: "Now, therefore, the under
signed members Of the Conservative
party claiming to have been elected
members of the House Of Representa-.
tives, and that their certificates oil

by the Returning Board, hereby agree
TO submit their claims to seats in the
House OF Representatives,, to the
award and arbitration of George +.
Hoar, VIM. A. Wheeler, VIM. p. Frye
and Samuel S. Marshall, members of
the Congressional Committee, etc.,
who are hereby authorized to examine

ties of the several cases and, when
such an award shall be made, zoe here.
