GALVESTON, May 19.-Another dar-
ing stage robbery on the Ell Paso line
is reported. One stage and two hacks
full of passengers were stopped by
three highwaymen on an open prairie
eighteen miles west of Dallas. Be-
fore finishing their work another hack
full of passengers drove up, and, on
being ordered to stop, the driver put
whip to his horses and escaped. Sew
eral shots were fired by the robbers
and ono of them followed the hack
some distance. The fire was returned
by the passengers, but no one hurt.
Immediately after the robbers had
secured their booty, which, it is re-
ported, amounted to seven thousand
dollars, they shot their own horses,
mounted the best ones belonging to
the stage and rode toward the Indian
Nation. From the description given,
ii is supposed that they are the same
who recently captured the San ,AntO-
Mo stage. Mounted squads of men
have started in pursuit.
LATER-A Galveston Ne,cs special
from Fl. Worth, 10th, says informa-
ton just received, states that ten men
in pursuit Of the robbers, were only
ten minutes behind them eally this
morning on San CHAPLAIN prairie.
From the description given it is sup
posed they are the James Brothers.
The entire country is aroused and
their capture is considered certain.

BLAINE's triumph becomes more
and more absolutely complete in ma
king his defense, if such a thing were
possible. The following is additional
testimony we have not before given :
Levi p. Morton, of Morton, Bliss
& Co., testified that in June, 1871, he
loaned to Andrew Carnagie for Col.
Thomas Scott $00,OUo upon collateral
security, which was siXty-seven Union
Pacific income bonds, and seventy
five Little Rock bonds. Carnagit
stated at the time the loan was nego'
tiated that it was for Col. Scott. He
never heard that Mr.. Blaine was in
terested in it. He could not remem.
Der the value of the Little Rock bonds
at the time of the loan. He knew OF
no railroad bonds in which Mr.
Blaine was interested, and never haC
any business transactions with him.
Andrew Carnage corroborated
Morton's testimony declaring that h,
raised the 100000 for Scott; that TIL
Union Pacific income bonds were hi
own, and were afterward withdraw
by him. He never heard the nam'
of Mr.. Blaine in the transaction.
Sidney Dillon, President of tn
Union Pacific, testified that the none,
was advanced to Scott Oh account o
many obligations under which tn
road was to hiGa. He had never hear
of Mr.. Blaine's name in the transac
ton.

The House at Washington have de-

notwithstanding this, it does not de-
crease the service to be done at all

for this course, and that is to attempt
making political capital out of it, well

The grain trade for the week has
been so triling as to be almost moth
ing. so far as wheat is concerned
there probably has not been twenty
five bushels sold in town for week.
The price for rye remains nominally
the same as it has been for the last
three months. The feed market is
very quiet and prices remain sub
stantially unchanged.
In the wool market there is a de-
cided change, and that on the wrong
side of the ledger for the producer.
The market seems to be fiat, and, of
course, the middle men are scary.
Our prices below are as near correct
as 1T Is possible to get them, and
owing ia the unsettled state of the
market, and poor demand, farmers
should tetain their wool until the
prospect seems brighter.

This is often serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores of which are
recommended as certain cures for his pesu-
liar ailment. He reads the papers, circulars
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are az strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by one
are as wonderful az those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his perplex-
ity and boubt, the sufferer 10 sometimes led
TO reject all. But il should bc borne 10
mind that this condition Of things is one
that cannot be remedied. In a'lAnd where

Grant sent to the Senate the name of
Edwards Pierrepont, the present At
torney General, as Minister to En-
gland Judge Alphonso Taft, the pres
ent Secretary of War, as Attorney
General, and J. Donald Cameron, of
Pa, as Secretary Of War. On the
same day the Senate Immediately con-
firmed these appointments. We do
not pretend 10 be excellent authority
upon such appointments, still we have
our own opinion in such matters, and
such as it is, we give it.
Pierrepont, of New York, as Min
lister to the Court of st. James, is a
good appointment, and we have little
doubt he will prove skillful diplo-
matist. Taft, of Ohio, as Attorney
General, is also good selection. lie
is an able lawyer, a man Of cool. eau

aid Cameron is the son of the veteran
Senator, Simon Cameron, of Penn.
and we think acquires much Of hi

mend his appointment. We confess

scion of the Cameron family is limit

New YORK, May 12.--The Panama
Star of May l says: "Fighting has
been going on between the troops of
Guatemala and San Salvador, and the
losses on both sides are heavy. The
army at Guatemala, under Barrios,
has been successful in every quarter,
having driven the Salvadorians before
them from every field. The ship of
war, General Barrios, had landed a
large force in the rear Of the city of
La Union, which attacked the place,
completely routing the Salvadorians
and planting the flag of General Bar
rios upon the Custom House and
and public buildings. The yictori-
Gus army pushed on to the interior,
driving everything before them, cap
turing many prisoners, and causing
the utmost decentralization within the
ranks of the Salvadorians. At early
dawn on the 10Th ultimo the city Of
San Miguel was captured, whereupon
the President of Salvador sent a
flag of truce and asked that they be
allowed to make peace offerings. 1t
is understood that Barrios would not
treat with him upon any other terms
than unconditional surrender"
