Tho Dispute Between Two Gen.
Ienniui Boards.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The conflict
Of authority between the United States
Centennial Commissioners and the Gen.
tennial Board OF Finance, which for
some time has existed, is approaching a
crisis. The dispute at present turns
principally on the points as 10 whether
the Commission can compel tire Board OF
Finance to pay salaries to the President
and other officers Of the former body, and
to appoint the necessary police force or
to tx its compensation. The Board Of
Finance contend that rs they are intrust-
ed with the money, and as their President
and Treasurer are under heavy bonds for
the proper expenditure Of it, the Board
should have absolute control Of the funds.
The conflict has been intensified within q
short time by some actions and demands
OF the Commission, and the Board Of Fl:
nance have recently sought the opinions OF
eminent lawyers. The evening Telegraph,
to-day, will publish eight columns, review
ing the state OF the case, and giving cop
les Of the opinions furnished by Charles
O'Conor, Abraham Browning, Cortlandt
Parker, John G. Bullitt, Richard L. Ash
uast, Henry Whorton, William Henry
Rawler, Richard C. McMastrie, and vii
liam H. Hirst. The opinions are unami-
NOUS in sustaining the Board Of Finance
in its refusal TO pay salaries 10 the Presi.
dent and other officers OF the Commission,
and asserting the right Of the Board to
appoint a needed police force, II is hop.
ed that the publication OF the opinions will
end the dispute; but, should 1t be other
wise, an appeal to the Court will be made
by the Board Of Finance.

Blaine and the Michigan Dele
gatiOn.

DETROIT, June l0.-Unquestionably
the events Of tho past week have impaired
Mr.. Blaine's strength in this State, and
his hold upon the Michigan delegation
will be much less firm than seemed proba-
BILE. For instance, one Of the most prom.
inent OF the delegates, hitherto classed for
him, is W. s. George, the owner Of the
State printing contract and editor Of the
Lansing Republican. In his paper this
week, he says as TO the Mulligan letters
"There are certain passages in those
letters In reference to the part taken by
the ex.speaker in so shaping legislation
as to favor private corporations that call
for too much apology and explanation.
Congress may be, captured by brilliant
dramatic exhibition; the personal mag:
netism Of Blaine may thrill the hearts Of
his followers, but the people in this Cen.
tennial year are not going to elect dra.
matically, or stay thrilled by personal
magnetism. The hard times will make
them look at the hard facts about every
candidate; especially touching his busi-
ness gains through public or official life,
by influencing legislation"

TIE MARGARY AFFAIR.
II il confidently reported that the
Margary affair will be reopened by the
British authorities, who for long time
past have had in contemplation the ne
ceAsity for dealing with the matter in q
new and more violent way.
Itis also stated that energetic measures
would have been adopted a year ago, il
the British had been ready for hostile
operations. The delay of the long nego.
tiations and the mission Of Grosvenor was
intended to disguise inability to act at
the moment. II is now considered Ger.
tain that the investigation Of Yannan will
have no practical result. GroSvenor and
and Bakertare said to have accomplished
nothing, and 81 Ham Chang has made no
report upon which hope Of stipulated re-
dress can be based. Friendly communi.
cations between Wade, the British minis
ter, and the Pekin officialsyhave almost
ceased. The British Flying Squadron is
ordered to hold itself in readiness at
Chiiu.

NEW YORK, June l0.-General Butler
gives an emphatic denial 10 the published
statement, that he was instrumental in

4 Herald Washington dispatch speaks
Of the desertion Of Mr.. Blame, in the
House, yesterday, by the Republican Con.
gresSmen, and adds that the Blaine move
ment for the Presidency has eliminated,
and the supporters Of the ex.Speaker are
not, all OF them, disposed to urge his
nomination any further. The formida-
bic character OF the detection Is shown in
the open avowal OF Senator Wadleigh, Of
New Hampshire, that Blaine is no longer
an available man for the nomination.
Senator Wadleigh is supposed to be
friendly TO BriStow.

Brutal NIurder-Pursuit and Ar
rest of the Murderer.

BLANCHEsTER, O., June 10.-On last
evening tragedy was enacted one mile
south Of this village which, for an act OF
diabolism, Is seldom surpassed in the
annals OF crime. Harvey Bigham, cit:
izen Of NewLonville, Ohio, and man oi
good social standing, had been in this
place transacting business. When ready
TO start home, he invited q young man
by the name OF Charles Brunk to accom-
pany him. Brunk Is also resident Of
Newtonyille. Brunk accepted the inyi.
tation, and together they started on the
fatal ride. Bigham was driving his own
team to two.horse spring wagon, and
had proceeded but short distance from
town, when Brunk pulled out brace Of
reyolyers and told Bigham 10 say his
prayers. Brunk then opened fire, and,
after sending two bullets into the brain
Of his unoffending victim, beat his head
into a shapeless mass. Persons living
near the road, hearing the shots, rushed
out in time to see the final scene OF the
bloody tragedy After covering Bigham
with a horse blanket, Brunk whipped
the horses into a run, and started on his
escape, with The body Of his murdered
com panion still in the wagon. Parties
Immediately started in pursuit, but
dark intervening too quickly Brunk es.
capped, leaving the wagon near Clinton
Valley, and took to the woods. The
search was abandoned for the night, but
long before daylight crowds Of horsemen
collected at the point where the trace was
lost, and gave a vigorous pursuit. At
least FIVE hundred men were securing the
country in all directions. He was cap
tured Today at IL o'clock, at the. resi-
dence OF his father, some ten miles from
here. he was brought here this evening
in charge OF a strong posse, and is now
having his preliminary examination.
The town Is in fever.heat OF excitement,
and the friends Of lynch law are loud
in their clamor for summary vengeance.
He will, il not molested, be taken TO Viii.
mington, the county seat, but doubts OF
his safety are freely expressed. Brunk is
mere boy, about nineteen, but is noted
rs desperate and n bad character gen.
orally. A reward Of SlO0 was offered
this morning, which will be claimed by
Constable Cramer, the arresting officer.
The incentive 10 this fendish murder
is not definitely known, butt is supposed
that Drinks motive was to obtain pos
session Of about forty dollars which Big
hum is known to have had about his per.
sen, and which was missing when the
the Coroner's inquest was held.
