ure OF Secretary of State TO transfer to
the committee some documents Oh file
In the Department, and which the
committee desired to examine, these
consist principally of reports of United
States Consuls, and Secretary Fish as
sured Mr.. Schliecher, this morning,
that they would he forwarded to the

The committee will probably recon-

overcome Mexican raiders

kilograms have been received by Sen.
ators and Representatives from Repub.
leans prominently engaged in the
management of the New Hampshire
campaign warning the administration
that II Bristow leaves the Cabinet,
either by being forced out or by resign
ing, the Republicans may abandon all
expectations of carrying the State.
Great efforts have been made to arouse
Grant and Bristow to an appreciation
OF this danger, and there is no little re-
joicing over their success,
There Is every evidence that there
will be an immense gathering at st.
Louis. The New York delegation have
already engaged rooms at the Lindell
for about one hundred people. Penn
sylvania has authorized Mr.. Priest to
engage rooms for nearly as many.
Members of the st. Louis delegation
gave an impromptu dinner to the
Louisville delegation at which Gen.
Preston, Mayor Jacobs and others were
present Speeches were made point
ing out the growing power of the
West, and cOngratulating st. Louis as
the first city West of the Mississippi to
get national convention.
The investigation into the present
government of the District of Column
bia continues to attract great deal of
attention among the residents of this
city, startling most people with the
evidences that the ring is still in
power. An effort has been made to
induce the committee to extend the in
vestigation into the affairs of the old
Shepherd government, much of the
corruption of which was untouched by
the committee of the last Congress,
but this has been declined, as the field

Senator Morrill, has taken hold of
the Washington monument question
and is pushing an entirely new idea.
He asserts that the unfinished Wash
ington monument, which has come to
be very properly denominated ''the
national Disgrace would be COM
parative failure in an artistic and his
toric point of view, even If carried to
completion, and urges that the nation
al memorial to Washington should be
u grand arch across one of the princip'
al streets Of the capital. He also takes
the view that it is the duty of Congress
to appropriate the money to build this
arch, on which he proposes there shall
be carvings, statues, DC, delineating
the progress of the country since 1t
achieved its independence
Mr.. Blaine denies the report, sent
through the country by telegraph
week or two ago, that he had prepared
speech attacking the Southern DEM
ocrats for Ku-klux outrages. Despite
his denial, however, it may be said
there is every authority for the state
ment that he has actually prepared, II
not a regular written speech on this
subject, at least the material, that is,
all the memoranda and data needed to
enable him to deliver himself at the
shortest notice. His conduct this year
has not been such as places him above
suspicion of duplicity, and his denial
of this report, in Ithe face OF the EN-
phatic asseyeration OF its correct.
ness by parties who assume TO be wei
posted, are not worthy of much consid-
ers:ion. The speech has been pre-
pared and will only be used when ne
can give it all the appearance OF an
honest Outburst of indignation.
While General Fremont was before
the sub. com mittee of the House, he was
closely questioned about the neg,otia.,,
ton of bonds of the Memphis and I'll
Paso company in Europe, and said the
company sold them to Paradis OF Paris
who was at the head Of the STOCK Ex-
change, and who put them on the
market with the declaration that they
were guaranteed by the United states,
which was not fact. The company
not only did not advise, but knew
nothing of such declaration until after
it was made. The investigation when
was started to damage the Texas q
Pacific bill has proven to be great
fzzle. The committee will to hnally
vote on the Texas u Pacific bill on next
Wednesday,.
President Dominique has ordered
the Cut an refugees to quit the couh,
