DANA REJECTED.

1t is with a degree of calm satisfac-
ton which is of a grateful and sooth-
ing nature that we announce that the
Senate of the United States on Tues
day rejected President Grants NOM
nation of Mr.. Richard II. Dana as the
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of the United States
to the Court of st. James. A man
who adds to the malefaction of literary
piracy the crime Of running as an In
dependent Sorehead for Congress
against as uncompromising foe OF
rebels, copperheads and Massachu-
sets suobs as old Ben Butler deserves
to go to sea two hundred years before
the mast and always live in the
Indebtedness and misery Of having
his grog knocked OFF.

DEAD LOCK ON APPROPRIATIONS
Under date of Washington March 4,

We have the following statement:
The members of both Houses are
looking forward with apprehension to
the anticipated deadlock over the ap-
preparation bills. A growing DISPOSE
ton is manifested in each House to
have their own way. Two appropria-
ton bills have already been sent to
the Conference Committee. The Mil
itary Academy Conference has had
one meeting but nothing like an agree
ment was manifest. The difference
on the Consular Diplomatic bill is still
more serious. The impression pre-
walls that the Senate, rather than yield,
will let the appropriation bills fail,
and the House, after thus letting the
Senate govern the record as anti-re-
trenchment will yield and make the
Senate's action q campaign document.
Acting Pos.master-General Marshall
at tho Capitol to-day let Randall see
the Importance of immediate action on
the appropriation, but Randall would
not listen. Marshall says tho Post
offices at New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, st. Louis and elsewhere must
close at shutdown, and that misfortune
will bring incalculable loss, injury
and delay to the mails throughout the
country. He says the Post-ofiice De-
partment has sufficient funds but no
authority to use them, and that sim
pie resolution would accomplish the
purpose. The sum needed till July
is about 100000.

FOUND DrAD.-At about ten o'clock
this morning. an Indian brought word
to City Marshal Day that the dead body
of man was lying in the sage-brush
near the cemetery. The Marshal at once
repaired to the spot, and lying on the
ground by the side Of the fence which
runs along on the north side of the cem-
etery, he found tho body, which was in
an advanced stage of decomposition. It
was that Of a man somewhat past mid
die age, the hair being slightly tinged
with gray. The body was clad in blue
broadcloth coat, gray pants, figured silk
velvet vest, white shirt and flannel usder-
clothes. the monogram "B" being en-
broidered on the latter, The Coroner
WAS notified. and summoning jury to
accompany him, proceeded to the scene.
At first nobody recognized the man. but
small boy coming along recognized the
corpse as that of the man who stops the
reporter on the street and detains him q
couple Of hours to tell him something to
''hslp fill up the paper" When the jury
learned this, they came to the unanimous
conclusion that if the mans death was
not caused by an avenging bolt from
heaven, it ought to have been. and after
q few moments of elaboration, they
brought in . verdict of justifiable murder
in the first degree. at the hands of some
person who should be commended for O
righteous act in Kidding the world OF .

The Queens new title of Empress OF
India bids fair to be burden to her
rather than a blessing, judging by the
tone of the following, which we find
in the press dispatches dated London
April 4: ....
In the House of Lords last night tho
Earl of SALISBURY offered his motion
for an address to the Queen praying
Her Majesty not to assume the title of
Empress. He argued that the title
was distasteful TO the vast majority of
the people, aud made point that after
the recent argument Of Disraeli the
assumption of such title would be an
insult to the Gar.
Earl Carnavon opposed and Lord
Selborne supported the motion, which
after a long debate was rejected by a
vote Of 1877 to 81. The Royal Titles bill
then passed through the committee.

To-day Recorder Duff heard the musi.
cal a case. After the witnesses had
been examined the Recorder fined
Messrs. E. Witzmann and E. Wilton S25
each on the charge Of fighting. Messrs.
d. Hollenberg and John T. Binns, who
merely defended themselves in their own
store from the attacks of Witzmann and
Wilton, were discharged from custody.
Recorder Daft proposed to bind Witt.
mar and Wilton over to answer before
the Criminal Court, but at the request of
Mr.. Hollenberg this was not done. 1t is
to be hoped, now that the law has settled
the matter, that the musical war will
cease forever and that music being the

A very important question was areno5
before Judge 10 G. Guild. ct Gallebn
Thursday, by j. j. Turner. of Snmner
county, and Edward Baxter and Charles
K. Head, for the Louisville and Nashville
and Great Southern Railroad Comnanv.
The suit was brought to test the eopsii.
%tu6onality of the eleventh section of the
law for the assessment of railroads.
which provides that railroads shall he
taxed L cents on their gross earning,
for the benefit OF the State. The tax ,pr

been paid over to the State. The real
question at issue is whether the State
alone has the power to levy such tgx.
and at the same time prohibit counties
through which q line passes from ~levving
a tax. Il is claimed by defendant that
the State had become Responsible Far he
payment OF bonds issued to varioua rail
roads in the State; that inasmueh az Il
had shouldered the debt it would not be
equitable to say to those counties which
had received no direct benefits from the
roads passing through them, that thew
should be taxed to pay of these bonds.
but that the State was alone entitled to
the benefits Of such tax for the payment
Of debts thus created.
The case was taken under advisement.
Il will 90 to the Supreme Court.
