YARYAN CoNTRADICrED.- Ex-Special
Agent Yaryan was further examined yes
terday afternoon before the special COM
mittee to inquire into the whisky trials, but
nothing Of importance was ELECTED, he
merely giving the reasons why, In his opin-
ion, the President was opposed to the prose-
cution OF the whisky trials.
A special dispatch TO the Baltimore Sun
from this city says: Yaryan, in his testi.
mony before the whisky COMMITTEES, stated
that In 1872, when he reported the whisky
frauds in st. Louis, Commissioner Douglass
pointed towards the White House and said
he was poweTless to act because Of the strong
influence there. Mr.. Douglass. In converse
ton on the subject to day, used strong Ian
guage, and said that Yaryan's statement
was q lie made out OF the whole cloth. Mr..
Douglass says that even had he entertained
such an opinion he would not have condo
scended to so express himself to Yaryan,
who was a mere subordinate. He says fur
ther, that isryan's statement OF the whisky
frauds in st. Louis was at the time men,
toned not sufficiently definite TO warrant
the taking of any action. The agent VINO
made the examination with Yaryan was
sent for TO st. Louis To further investi ate.
Mr.. Douglass says this agent sent white
washing report to the department, for
which 1t was after ards said he received
$40, 600 from the whisky ring. Mr.. Douglass
does not forget, or probably forgive, the
manner of his removal by the Pres ideut, but
he very naturally objects to having words

Hard TIms. In the Fast

4 few DAYS ago an advcr.isa.
ment appeared in q New York daily
g. the effect that one hundred stone
CuttcSs aud masuus were wanted To
-nfp Scotland at ten pence an hour
auI passage paid. BY ten in the
morning the street where the adycr-
tiscr lived was so blocked up by
applicants that the police had to he
sent to keep tie peace. All the
men wanted were engaged and the
ship sailed last week. How great
the misery is among our working
men may be conjectured from their
cagcrncss to rush away from their
native country, contracting for two
years; and how highly our labor is
held by foreigners is shown by the
fact that any number of men might
be got in England or Ireland to do
the work without the expense of
paying passages across the ocean.
Our country has been for many years
the bourne of immigrants from all
quarters, but it looks as if the tide
were about to turn, and that our
poor classes will be forced to leave
this country in order to get bread
TO eat. There is no strike among
the Scottish operatives, and the
American la5orers\ are wanted for
the erection of parochial buildings
in Greenock, 81 miles from Glasgow
No men with families were accepted.
The general opinion seems to be
in New York that instead of the
times getting better, as has been
hoped this coming fall, the misery,
destitution and tightness of money
will become greater andgreater. All
classes feel it. The largest publish
ing firms and story papers decline
all manuscript on the score of being
unable to pay for them. Several
newspapers have been reduced in
size, and two have ceased to exist.

The Territory orP,mbIna.

In the speech of Hon. Jefferson P.
Kidder, of Dakota, made in Con-
gress July 30, advocating the organ
ization of the Territory of Pembina;
we are told that the proposed new
Territory will contain 1880 square
miles, and will extend about IL miles
south of the 46th degree, to the Bri-
tish possessions from the Red river
of the North to the Yellowstone. 1t
has within its borders 600 miles OF
navigable waters on the Red river,
more than 600 on the Missouri, and
over 300 on the Yellowstone, and in
all over 1000 miles of navigable wa
tiers. Lines of steamers and 200
miles of railroad are already oper-
ated in the proposed Territory, and
numerous extensions are projected.
The population of Pembina is not
less than $4,000, largely made up
of farmers, and the country has su-
perior agricultural advantages.

FRAUDS IN LAND PATENTS.

The report of E. A. Portois, ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the In
terror to examine into the frauds
committed under the law granting
100 acres of land to sol diers and sal
lors who served so days in the late
war, made on the oath .ult., shows
that frauds are distributed through
out the States and Territories as fol-
lows, more than four-ffths of the
localities being in California, where
land is in greater demand: Mime
sofa, 81; Kansas, 3; Nebraska, 25;
California, 857; Oregon, 8; Nevada.
2; Dakota, 3S; Washington, 60.
Total, l047. OF this number ITO
cases have been approved and pass
ed by the land Office and patents
granted. In many other cases the
papers are so adroitly made out as to
render detection extremely difficult.
The Government will be loser in all
cases where patents have been is
sued. In cases not yet acted upon,
and which are now in allegiance, ,<he
loss will fall upon the purchasers of
the applications and entry papers.
Inquiries will be extended by the
law officer.

ARcHRIsHoP PURCELL of Cipcinnati,
has published a declaration to the
people of the United States, explain.

public school question. He says the
Catholic Bishops and clergy have no
intention of interfering with the pub.
he school system; that they are per-
fectly willing that the people should
build all the schools they wish and
teach in them what they please, but
the Catholics claim the same rights
for themselves. If the Protestant
schools are not to be sectional or Sec
tartan in any sense, the Catholics
wish their own schools to be subject
ed to religious influences, and thew
wish to teach their faith unmolested.
asking from the State nothing but
protection. The Archbishop adds:
We say protection. No doubt
Justice and equality would entitle the
Cathohc people of this country to
exemption from taxation for the sun
port OF other schools, or to a share of
? the public school fund in proportion
70 the number of pupils in their
scnools. But even this claim we are
disposed to waive in your favor. We
ask no favor or privilege. All we
ask Is to be let alone in following the
dictates of our own conscience and
you cannot refuse this without un.
defmlnlng the constitution and pre-
Parlng the way for the loss of the
same freedom for yodfselves."

That Sea serpent Again.

Captain Shaw, of the Baltimore
Board of Piloss, reports that while
plotting the steamship Augustine
on her outward-bound voyage from
that port two weeks ago, the vessel
was becalmed off the mouth of
Chesapeake Bay. While thus de-
tanned, serpent, 25 feet long anAas
thick as -four barrel, wriggled up
the chain cable over the bow, and
got its head up to the hawser hole.
The crew, armed with pistols, hand
spikes, and capstan bars, drove the
monster three times into the sea.
The last time it disappeared alto
gether, leaving red stains in the
water. 1t is supposed to have been
killed or fatally injured. The rep
tile had horrid looking head, with
eyes protruding an inch from the
sockets.

ONE of the results, in the shape of
a penalty, that has followed the re-
iinquishment of the ocean commerce,
particularly that of the Atlantic, by
the United States to foreigners, is
the important one relating to the
"Ocean ferry" business. The esti-
mates of the money annually paid to
the owners of foreign vessels for the
carriage of freights, passengers and
mails vary from s50,0OO,0O0 to
$75,00O,0OO in gold, in return for
which the country receives very little
benefit. There was a time when our
commercial steam marine rivaled that
of England herself, while our clip
pers were famous the world over, but
I" British shipping is now taking
larger share of the carrying trade of
the world than it ever did before"
says member of the British Parlia-
ment, 1t would seem as though ma
ture had ordained that the United
States should be a mighty maritime
power, withits extensive ocean front,
larger than that of any commercial
people on the face of the globe; but
somehow our manifest destiny"
doesn't appear to be visible any long
er in this direction.

THOSE persons who set Raoat the
story that Gen. Sherman would
resign at the end of Grants
term of Office and allow the
President to be reappointed to his
old position as General Of the Army,
overlooked the provision in the Act
of Congress of July Is, 1870, which
abolished the rank of general and
lieutenant-generals from the time
that a vacancy should occur in those
positions. By virtue of that act the
moment Gen. Sherman resigns or
dies tehre will be no such position as
General of the Army, and when
Sheriden resigns or dies the position
of Lieutenant G eneral will be at an
end. Gen. Grant will probably have
to take the chances of the cold world
like other ex-Presidents.
