propositions before the Treasury to take
part Of the new four and a half per

view with Secretary Morrill, yesterday,

been reached at 10 O'Clock last night.
The Secretary wants to make the award

in The management of the whisky ring.
rhe Government has decided TO again

FROM THE POLITICAL WORLD
NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
and Busi-
ness This Morning,

BY American Press Association to the STAR.
SARATOGA, n. Y, August PA large
and excited throng of Republican politi.
clans crowd the United States Hotel
here. There are all shades of opinions
expressed. and there seems to be less
lobbying by unscrupulous politicians
than has been known In several years.
All are impressed with the great re-
sp0nsibility of the occasion. The dele
gates to the Convention IRON the cities
seem to be In iaVor of Cornell, but the
country districts seem to be decidedly
against the Conkling candidate.
The Independents are acknowledged
by every one to hold the balance of
power. Eyarts stock Is rising. The
general impression about Gov. Wood
ford is that he is good man, but not
candidate. Cornell is generally consld-
cred as being too much occupied with
the Administration. He stands in near
ly the same position here in respect to
the nomination Tor Governor that Mr..
Conkling occupied for the nomination for
President at Cincinnati.
SARATOGA, August 23.-The morning
trains have arrived, bringing with them
large crowds of visitors. No such a
crowd has ever been known at State
Convention. At halt.past 10 every avail
able space of room was occupied, and
there were fully two thousand people in
the hall.
Mr. CGrnelPs withdrawal in favor of
Ex-Governor Morgan appears to be a
settled fact. His letter is already pre-
pared. Morgan's nomination is now re-
garded as certain.
The Republican State Convention was
called to order precisely at ii O'Clock by
Hon. A. b. Cornell. Hon. Warner
Miller, of Herkimer, was chosen Tenn
porary Chairman.
He thanked the Convention for the
honor conferred, warmly euloglzed
Hayes and Wheeler, referred to the Gin
platform as the true exponent of
purposes of the Republican party, and
urged the same wisdom and harmony in
this Convention AS prevailed i'll CIncin-
natl.
After the appointment OF Secretaries,
the roll OF delegates was called.
In Wyoming.
CHEYENNE, WYOMING, August 23.-At
Denver last evening the friends OF Hon.
Thomas W. Patterson, Territorial Dele
gate to Congress from Colorado, gave
lim warm and hearty reception. He
was met at the depot by large con-
course of citizens, beaded by torcn-
light procession and band. He delivered
An able speech OF two hours' length from
.he balcony OF the Grand Central Hotel.
Mr.. Patterson reviewed his record IN
Congress to an appreciative audience.
Fhe political contest in this State this
all promis es to be very exciting.

Our readers will remember the circum
stance related In these columns few
weeks ago, of the fraud practised upon
Messrs. Duhme & Co., the well-known
Fourth-street jewelers., by means OF a
forged telegraphlc check ON Messrs.
Hirsh & Co., of Front street. on which
j, IL. DeVere, an accOmplice of White,
who 1s now serving out sentence OF
eight years in the Penitentiary for a sim
liar fraud in Indianapolis, purchased a
lot of jeweEy, receiving in change 1925
in cash. Since that transaction Mr.. De-
we're has been rusticating in Chicago,
and living high on the proceeds of this
and similar operations.
But he has come TO grief and this
morning he was incarcerateu in a cell
iii the Ninth-street Station-house.
brought thlther from indianapolis by
Detective Steve Mead this morning. He
was captured few days ago by the au.
thorites of Chicago, with the assistance
oil a Mr.. Northrup, OF Indianapolis, who
is another victim OF the telegraphic
game to the extent oil $3.50. This Devere
Is the same man who VictimiZed Doc,
Martin last winter, out Of 500, by an or
der purpOrting to have been written by
Col. Eph. Holland.
The prisoner confesses to the Duhme
affair, and says he expects to be Grail
roaded"-that is, sent to Columbus.
White, whose real name Is Henry St.
John, and a native of Brooklyn, N. Y.
has been in the business for six years,
and has been convicted twice before.

A Question OF WAGES.

California can make a satisfactory
comparison with any State of the
Union on the question of wages, not
withstanding the servile competition
encountered. The great abundance of
her food supply, including the luxu-
ries as we'll as staples, and the equa-
bility of her climate, are exceptiona-
BILE advantages IN cheapeniDg the ex-
penses of living. Massachusetts is
prosperous Commonwealth, but the
working people there find it difficult
to make both ends meet in summing
up their annual accounts. The labor
report of that State for 1875 states
that the average yearly earnings of
laboring men were S4o2, and their av-
err, ge cost OF living S4SS-showing q
deficiency OF Sb. 1he average yearly
earnings of women laborers were
$l9S aud the average cost of living
$lS2, showing an annual average saw
| ing of SIC. The average salary of
men who work for salaries is given at
S1.Ol6 and the cost of living at $9l3;
for women the average salary is S429,
and the cost of living $3.50, The av-
| erage working hours for the wages
earning men are 10 l-5, and for men
ou SaiaiieS ~ pei uuy.
Five hundred and six applications
| for divorce were made last year In the
Courts for the single county of Cook,
in which is situated the city of Chica-
go, in the state of Illinois. Six close
| ly printed columns in one of the local
papers of that city contain the names
and other facts interesting in that
neighborhood of successful applicants.
| And yet we send missionaries abroad.
