A GOOtl kelI.

On q number of bill boards in the
city are colored posters, advertising a
story in the New York Weekly, and
hoving on them the figures Of n man
with pistol !eveled on q woman and
male companion. Several police
men were sold by parties going to
them and stating that man was down
the street with pistol, threatening to
shoot another man and his wife. They
Immediately tore of at a rapid rate,
and when confronted with the picture
gave vent to their feelings in the
choicest Chinee. One county officer
in particular, jumped olfhis horse and
followed h policeman who had been
victimized previously and wanted to
get even, at very rapid rate. When
he found he had been sold, the police
man had to climb fence, and 90
around two blocks to get up town.

Capt. Perry's Escutcheon Untarnished.
Portland, Oregon, Dec. 4.-Gen.
Howard has approved of the findings of
the court of inquiry in the case of
Capt. David Perry, charged by the citi-
zens of Idaho with neglect to succor a
band of volunteers when pressed by the
Indians at the Cottonwood fight. The
findings are to the effect that Perry
could not know the character of the
volunteers until they were attacked;
that delay of about ten minutes oc-
CURED after the attack and before
sending troops to their relief; and that
the volunteers received no additional
injury on account of the delay. No
testimony was elected rejecting upon
the courage of Captain Perry, and the
findings exonorate him from having
made improper delay under the circum-
stances, being nearly surrounded him
self by hostile Indians.

NEW YORK.
The Vanderbilt win Contest.

New York, Dec. 4.-The contest in
the Vanderbilt will case was resumed
this morning. Counsel for the contest
ants claimed that the Commodore was
in many respects monomaniac, having
power to acquire but not to transmit !;
that for years before making his will
he had suffered extreme anguish from
his many chronic disorders, which
affected his mind. He suffered under
mania and a delusion, and was liable
to be unduly influenced. He might
have been mentally strong in one direc-
tion and perfectly imbecile in others.
They would now show that the Commo-
dore was suffering under two diseases,
which had tendency to weaken and
destroy his mind.
Counsel for the defence said no proof
had been given establishing his insanity
or even trace of insanity.

THE MESSAGE.
Opinions of the Press.

New York, Dec 4.-The Herald,
commenting on the Presidents mes
sage, says: president Hayes first mes
sage to Congress deserves more COM
mendation for the general soundness of
its positions than for its strength of
reasoning or apt language. On the
great questions relating to the curren-
cy and the public debt credit it is salts
factory. The President stands firmly
by his sound Southern policy, and he
continues to pay to civil service reform
the homage of professions which may
mean little or much, but can inspire no
great confidence in view of the recent
past. There is no .allusion to the fa-
nous order in which he made his first
attempt to carry out his IDEAS of civil
service reform, and the total silence
with reference to this remarkable order
is tacit abandonment of it and an i'm
piled confession that it was mistake.
On the great question of currency,
which is just now the most important
judgment and so decided in language
that the message will put the country
quite ut ease.
The Tribune, oil the subject of Imam
ces, says the President speaks in clear
and positive terms. He stands man
fully up to the doctrine of his inuugu-
raj address, and nothing could be more
forcible, more reassuring, more digni
fed and more satisfactory in every way
than his utterances.
The Sun says: Hayes has given the
financial question the most anxious
and deliberate examination, but adds
nothing to the current volume of intel
ligence respecting it. The message is
of very slight account. 1t makes to
Congress no new suggestions of any
value, and it gives the country no in
formation with which it is not familiar.

REHM ON THE RACK.

Another Chapter on Crooked Whisky.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-This afternoon the
suit of the United States against Jacob

dollars on account of revenue frauds as
distiller, was called up before Judges
Drummond and Blodgett, in the
United States Circuit Court. In
structions were read from Attorney
General Devens and the Secretary of
the Treasury, directing District Attor-
ney Bangs to submit to the court evil
dence on either side as to whether the
Government counsel had made such ar
rangements with Rehm's counsel as to
impose upon the Government the duty,
as matter of honor and good faith, of
dismissing the pending prosecution,
if the court so advises after hearing the
evidence, then the case shall be dismiss.
ed. On this basis considerable evi.
dence was taken, which went to show
that the arrangement had been made
so that Rehm should be relieved from

A Suggestion from Schurz.
Washington, Dec. Am relation to
an act passed at the last session of Con-
gress, providing for the sale of desert
lands in certain States and Territories,
Secretary Schurz, in his annual report,
submits the following: 1 recommend
that the act be so amended as to re-
quire before the entry is allowed, that
the desert character and quality Of the
tract sought to be entered shall be es-
tablished by competent testimony to
the satisfaction of the register and re-
ceiver of the district in which the
land is situated, after notice by publi-
cation for four successive weeks to ad-
verse claimants if there are any, that
the quantity or portion of the land in
the tract to be irrigated, cultivated and
improved shall be specifically defined;
that a neglect or failure to irrigate
and improve the quantity or portion of
land in said tract specified, for the pc
riod of six months at any one time shall
be considered an abandonment of the
same; while party who has made an
entry under said law has no more right
to sell or contract to sell, or in any
! manner cucumber the right or interest
which he has acquired, than a home
stead or pre-emption settler has under
either the homestead or pre-emption
laws before the final proof, still there
