st. Louis, Oct. PA novel suit was
entered in the Circuit court this MORN
ing by Alex. S. Buchanan against Sah-
lein, Singer & Co., wholesale clothiers
of this city. The petition alleges that
said Buchanan has been, until few
days ago, salesman and confidential
clerk of the firm named for nearly 20
years; that on the 18th Of this month
he was inveigled into the Office of a
lawyer, the doors closed and locked,
and then charged with stealing from
the firm during the past ten years some
$4,000 worth of clothing and property,
and that unless he made the loss good
he would be prosecuted and sent to the
penitentiary. He was denied any time
for consideration OF consultation with
friends, and finally while stunned with
the enormity of the falsity of the
charge, and while laboring under men,
tai fear of threats made to him, and
being wholly in the power of his accu-
sers, he made over to them certain
bonds, money and notes of the value of
$4,000. The petition further alleges
that plaintiff is entirely innocent;
charges his employers with conspiracy
to destroy his reputation, and asks
s50,OO0 damages.
The defendants will tomorrow pub
lish 4 denial of the. statement that
plaintiff was compelled to confess or
disgorge, but that he was charged with
the act, he admitted it freely, without
coercion or threats, and voluntarily
went to bank and handed over the
bonds as part payment of his stealings.
His employers claim they can readily
prove his guilt.

"YORK STATE"
How Will She Go in Tuesdays
Election?
A Comprehensive Review of the Pros
poets of Both Parties.

New York, Oct. 27.-Never was it
more difficult to forecast probable re-
suit than in the case Of next Tuesdays S
New York state election. Thirty days
ago the Democratic triumph promised
to be overwhelming. Now the Repub-
lican leaders are very confident of
electing part of the Republican state
ticket through an alliance with the
late Tammany Democratic organiza-
tion, which is expected to poll some
thirty thousand German votes alone in
this city. This alliance looks to the
election of anti-Tammany county Of
ficers, and state Senators also in dis
tricts where the Republicans have no
hope of party success. The Senate
district contests have special impor-
tance because the Senators now elected
will vote for U. S. Senator Conkling's
successor. Whatever the fate of the
Republican state ticket, they will prob
ably continue to control the state SEN
ate, unless defeated by general apathy
vote. OF this there is less danger now
than Immediately before the Rochester
convention, when Administration Re-
publicans suspected Conkling's friends
of an intention to sacrifice the state
for the Senatorial ticket. This has
given many the conviction that if this
game is tried, or Conkling fails to sup
port the Administration, the Republi-
can assembly elected next year will
surely defeat him. Conkling's friends
deny such purpose, while Tilden's
friends manifest no opposition to the
regular Democracy except through the
anti-Tammany movement, they realize
that Tammany's defeat is essential to
Tilden's,recovery of the state organiza-
tion for the next Presidential cam
paign. This also will increase the
Democratic detection, but it is safe to
predict that it will be fatal.

MINING LAW.
An Important Decision.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The General
Land Office has rendered decision of
Importance concerning Section 1924,
Revised Statutes, which requires GER
tain annual expenditure on all mining
claims. Commissioner Williamson holds
that the first annual expenditure upon
a claim located prior to May 10, 1872,
should have been made by the first day
Of January, 1875. and the Second by
January l, 1876; also, that the first an
nual expenditure upon claim located
since May 10, 1872, should have been
or must be made within one year from
the date of discovery and location, and
that the amount required by local min
ing law or regulation to be expended be-
fore record Of such losses can be
made may apply upon the first annual
expenditure, the claims being thus held
if the other provisions Of the law are
complied with. The second year COM

Of the first, and the required expendi.
lures may be made at any time during
the year.

TWEED'S TALES
OF Some of Our Prominen. Men.


New York, Oct. 27.-Tweed keeps
talking in very interesting way, tell
ing many truths, doubtless, but inter-
spersed with falsehoods that are quick
ly exposed. In his latest published in
terview he intimated that Horace
Greeley was insincere in his temper
ance sentiments and liked his glass of
wine. This, Charles A. Dana-than
whom none had better opportunity to
know Greeley-says is untrue. Gree
ley was constitutionally unable to bear
any form Of alcoholic drinks, and his
practice of total abstinence was sincere
and unyarying as his advocacy of the
same.
lie says Pierce was very light, almost
Il nonentity. Fillmore was a poor
stick. He never met Lincoln, but he
thought well of him.
Douglass impressed Tweed more than
any big national man whom he ever
knew. Douglass seemed a big-brained
man, with plenty of temperament
whatever that may mean.
lie was satirical about Tilden, and
thinks if the latter had been president
and the constitutional requirements
required message from him on the
fourth Of March the document would
possibly have been ready by the fourth
of April following. Tilden has kind
of patience which wears out his oppo-
nents, valuable when the wrecking Of
corporation is in order, but not useful
in a President of the United States.
Jay Gould he praises as the ablest
iinancier in America.
Oakley Hall he thinks bas been grow
ing crazy for years, he was dreadfully
tiresome with his weak little puns, and
he was fairly useful in drawing up cum
ming bills, but not a notarial expert.

Sammy Howls Over the Loss of the
Presidency.
New York, Oct. 2T.-Samuel j. Til
den was serenaded here tonight and
made speech in the course Of which
he endorsed the Democratic state ticket,
and said:
"This action has relation to national
politics, in regard to which you expect
that should make some observations.
You are aware of the result of the con-
test in '76." "A voice, ''you were
robbed.') Tilden excitedly: ~ did not
get robbed. The people got robbed.
1t was the robbery of the dearest right
of free governmental right of the
people to govern themselves and change
their rulers at will. II the American
people lie down and consent to sacrifice
the integrity of their control over their
own government, they will commit a
wrong, not only against themselves, but
the people of every s6ther land. One
thing L promise-one thing swear be-
fore the assembled people of America
1 swear that the government of Amer
lea will be restored to the people, ac-
cording to the ideal of its founders.
