scandal about the sale OF an appoint
ment in the regular army in 1866 by
Speaker Kerr is the talk OF the town,
and the circumstances are such as to
give il very serious aspect. The sto-
nv is that O man named Green got
commission in the regular army as lieu
tenant from President Johnson,
through the influence OF Kser, who
was then q member Of Congress, for
which Green paid doorkseper OF the
House named Harney $500, which he
understood was TO 60 to Mr.. Kerr as
fee. Mr.. Kerr's friends insist that
Earney kept the money himself, but
the remarkable circumstances OF the
case are: First, that just at the close OF
the war, when appointments IN the reg

Kerr should 20 out Of his district to
appoint man he never seen or heard
Oh simply 10 oblige doorkeeper OF the
House. Secondly, that Green swsars,
and says he will bring other Witnesses

TALK OF THE DAY.-The ladies of the
various congregations in the city are in
vited to meet to-day at II O'Clock at the
INDICATOR Office, to unite in some ar
rangement for an entertainment to be
given for the benefit of the young men of
Staunton who have been doing duty as
beaux during the winter. The unprece-
dented severity of hack hire, gloves and
tickets has caused the greatest suffering,
and they will not be able to pass through
the rigor of the ensuing church
fairs, unless timely aid is extended.
Many of the sufferers are most worthy
young men, who before this season have
been strangers to want, and, being thus
suddenly reduced to restitution, their stu
alton is deplorable in the extreme. Re.
member that she who s'giveth to the poor
Young man lendeth, to the Lord.''
1t is useless for Moody and Sankey to
come to Staunton unless they bring a felt
cap for each girl. A girl without fell
cap now don't care much whether she is
lost or saved.

THE ARREARS OF WAGES DUE THE
CHESAPEAKE & OHIO EMPLoYEEs-Gen
Wickham, Receiver of the G. & 0. R. R.,
on Friday last addressed the following Cir
cular to the employees of that road:
To the Employees Of the Chesapeake d
Ohio Railrood.-It has been subject of
deep concern and regret to me that was
unable to pay off the arrears, Of pay due
you before the courts took possession of
the road, but it was impossible to do so.
You may rely on my doing whatever le-
ultimately can 20 pay them off at the ear
Hest possible day. These arrears Of wages
cannot be paid without the special leave
of the courts. The easiest and quickest
way to obtain that leave is to procure the
consent of the parties to the foreclosure
suits, to the granting OF it. With that view
I am now corresponding with the parties,
and the business of your claim is so great
that I cannot debut that they will assent.
Should that assent not be obtained, appli-
cation will hgve to be made direct to the
court in your own behalf.
Mean time leave this matter in the hands
of the friends who are now working it out
for you, and apply yourselves earnestly tn
the discharge Of your duties, remembering
that the more diligently we all guard the
interests of the road, the sooner it will
earn the means of liquidating the arrears
due you.
Your obedient servant,
WINS. e. WICKHAM,
Receiver.

gentleman of Boston to the visitors there
on that occasion, have been received by Sir
Knights T. G. Morton, A. A. Grubert, R.
W. Burke and Carter Berkeley. They are
of rather an eccentric character, being a
picture of all the States, represented by
pigs attending the Centennial. and badge
of red, white and blue ribbon fastened in
silver wheel, the spokes representing the
old thirteen States, and the whole being
pendant from a silver pig of great size.
Accompanying these were little remem-
ORANGES for the wives of the visitors, being
ornamental articles of glassware. The unu-
sual character of the gifts added surprise
to the gratitude with which the attentions
of the donors to the Boston visitors is re-
membered by them.
