will be of value on account of the IN
< termediate points along this end of the
u line. The road between Fort Worth,
= Texas, and Fort Concho has been de-
clared postroute, and it is expected
5 that a stage line will be started within
' a month or so. The route to San Diego
S will then be via st. Louis, Iron Noun
: tain and the Southern and Texas Paci-
f fic roads to Fort Worth, thence by stage
| line to Fort Concho and by similar
t conveyance to San Diego. Now it is
. necessary to go by Austin to San An
tonic and thence to Fort ConchO. In
connection with this change in mails,
/ which now go by San Antonio, the
: recent change in point of delivery for
military stores from Dennison to Dallas
is more advantageous point for St.
, Louis, as it can be reached both by the
! Iron Mountain and the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas roads, and competition
will ensure low rates.

Washington special, this morning,
says: Belknaps attendance at the i'm

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Times
Washington special to-day says that
the calummes lately set afioat against

wait longer.

New YORK, April 20.-All the morn
ing papers publish story concerning
the disbursement, by President Grants (
direction, of moneys from the secret
service fund for use in the New York I
election. The World and Herald com
ment severely upon this report. The
question whether the congressional 4
committee shall call the President be

be discussed by the committee to-mor-

Secretary Bristow is evidently coming
to the front rank as presidential candi-
date According to Washington cor
respondence, says the Times, paid de
tectIves are on Bristow's track watch
ing his every movement. Bristow has
so far not only afforded prompt and
conclusive dis-proot of every charge
made against him, but he has also been
able to supply an antidote to slanderous
before his enemies had
time to give them to the world. The
accusers of Bristow are do
ing substantial service to the republi-
can party.
