A dispatch to tho Baltimore Gazette
dated Washington, saws: Lach has
ordered another aasessmentto be made,
and tlli3 time for n larger per cent.
than Ut frat. He wants three and n
hnlf per cent. this time, making IL all
five and half per cent. 1t Is known
that Ct the amount raised month ago
all, o. neatly all, was sent into Indl-
ena sad Ohio. st one time Zach cal
led the managers Of ghs West Virginia
Campaign to him and asked If by tie
use Of considerable amount of mo-
hey the Republicans could secure the
Legislature, which is to elect tive Sen
atOrs. They told him that it could be
done with $I5, 0CU or $40. 900, and he
promised the money should be forth
coming. But he soon after changed
his tactics and sent the money to H.
diana, giving West Virginia but 81, GOO
Now that the result i'll Indiana and
ONO is SO discouragtng to tie Repub
iicans here, Zach is finding that they
do not come down with their ASSESS
ments so readily as heretofore. They
fear that it will be money thrown
AVA, and th4t by refusing and max
ing much talk over it they will there's
nocrats and 80 be able to hold their
p!aces when 1ilden comes III. There
IS such Il large number who will do
this tIat Zach will hardly dare to carry
GuG hi. threat Of discharging ell who
refuse tie assess ment. His agents
have been around making pI ellminaYx

trlbusiona.' IS clerks like to term the

be he'd before the fret of the month.
These vouchers will be discounted by
some Of tire many usurcrs here who
make il business to fleece cierks.-
Yesterday one of Zach's agents went
over to the agricultural department,
ana notified the chiefs that the assess
ment book would be around the first
0f next week. To the surprise of
Zach's men he chiefs replied that the
book might be brought around as often
us its carriers might choose, but that
they would not put down one cent.
This was dampener, and WAS OF
course carried to Zach. who is consid
erIng Whist plan he will pursue in treat
nent Of these agricultural rebels.-
Another agent caliedson Smith, who
has charge Of tho government bouquet
factories, aud received a most decided
and emphatic refusal to give any more
money for political purposes. The
agents returned TO Zach, and further
proceedings have been postponed un~
II! next week. Meantime Zach is con-
demoralized. and will be
compelled to take advice before Pro-
ceeding with what is now promising
scheme for reimbursing his political
exchequer.

The Governor eject of Indiana, the
man who destroyed Hayes last hope
of the Presidency is thus described:

He is practical farmer. being the
owner of the largest aid best farm III
the State, and lis Identification with
the farming interest Is further shown
by the fact that he has been Presl-
dent of the State Board of Agrlcut~
ture for several years. He was elected
to Congress tEe first time two years
ago by handsome ajorlty, and
although 2 new member he at once
became distinguished for his economy,

mittee on Accounts enabling him to
save thousands OF dollars To the Gov
ernment. When the Democratic
House first assembled, the late Speaker
Kerr overheard q conversation be-
tween the new Seargent-it Arms and

the latter advised the former to use

mittee on Accounts, otherwise he
might have some difficulty III obtain
ing the numerous extras, such as

iavisIily distributed among Congress-
men. Speaker Kerr al once compro-
hendCd the situation, and he set ou1
upon 81 search fer the most ecOnoml
cal member OF the House for the pur-
pose OF putting him at the head OF the
Committee on Accounts, thus check
mating any designs which might be
cuucUctGd for wasting the people a
money. blue Jeans" Williams was
the man selected for the position, and
SPEAKER kerrG good Judgment was
pi oven at tie close Of the session,
when the accounts showed that Mr..
Williams had saved upwards OF $50,
600 OF the contingent fund of the
House. III fact, Mr.. Williams showed
himself 10 he economical almost 10 the
extent of being parSlmOnjous; but lie
recognized the fHcJ that tIe sutferlngs
