said upon good authority that nothing will be done
about u until after the recess OF Congress
some additional candidates have been men
TONED, among them Z. Deladeld Smith and Gros-
venor r. Lowry, partner OF General John X. Porter
The struggle for the position IS growing warmer
There is indication yet sufficiently reliable who will
be the successful candidste nor will there be until
the wheel has turned lew times more. General
Daniel f. Sickes Is also understood 10 have been
candidate while here, but he did not receive much
encouragement. IL is more than likely that some one
not yet mentioned will get tho prize.
General DelaGeld Smith has published quite lengthy
circular covering numerous letters received bv him
composing supposed influence and claiming also that
he withdrew from the candidacy heretofore and ac-
cepied the position OF Corporation CounsewEich was
brought about by Governor Tilden. Senator Conklng
has not yet sgnidei which ono OF the candidates, II
any, he will favor.
THE ABRoGATIoN OF THE NINETEENTH JOINT
RULE-How THE HOUSE CATERER TOOK ADJ
VANTAGE OF THE sEYATE's ACTIoS-LIQUoH
SELLING NO LONGER FURTIvE business.
Quite good joke is tho result Of tho controversy
abou, the alleged abrogaton OF Joint rules OF Con-
gross II was noticed when the present session began
that The sae OF liquors at the House restaurant, which
used 10 be furive business, was conducted without
any attempt at concealment the bottles being plainly
sight and the liquors being drank without disguise
or deception on inquiry Il turns out that the asue
caterer mined the manual OF Congress and found
that tho restriction his selling liquor was contained
IN the nineteenth joint rule, as follows:-
No spirtuous or malt liquors wines shall be
offered Tor sale or kept within the Capitol in any room
or building connected Herewith, or on the public
grounds adjacent thereto.
As the joint rules longer In force tho caterer
inferred his right 10 sell liquor, and hence the change
above referred to- The affair raises quito laugh upon
Mr. Randall who persists in believing tho rules In
iorcc while the nineteenth joint rule bids fair to be-
como famous tho twenty second especially
invitation to drink Is worded invitation 10
"go down and suspend the nineteenth joint rulc"

Major Randall Mr.. Fox interpreter, q Sioux half
breed, and nearly all the Indians in Major Randalrs
party are said to have been killed.
THE REPORT NOT CREDITED.
General Brsbin the commanding officer at Fort

STORY TOLD BY INDIANS
Mr.. Gage. citizen Of the Yellowstone Valley, just
in, says he heard the story from the Indians and
tnat Sioux, Fox and Major Randall were killed.
