Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, states that an agreement has
been reached by the Western Union and
Central Pacific authorities by which all
the telegraph lines of the railroad COM
pany are to be consolidated with the

reticent as to the terms of agreement,
but states that the transfer is in the ma
ture of a cooperative arrangement, by
which the Offices of the railroad lines
will be discontinued and all business
carried on under the immediate control

THE ARMY.
Recruiting at St, Louis.

st. Louis, Dec. 12.-The prospect OF
trouble on the Mexican frontier is hav-
ing its effect on the movement of troops.
Four full companies of infantry, dcs-
tined for the border, were taken down
the Iron Mountain road Sunday. Dur
ing the past week recruiting office for
the infantry service, and another for
cavalry, have been opened here. The
former is under the chargeof Capt. Saw
age, of the Sth infantry. Lieut.. For
bush, of the 9Th, is the recruiting officer
for cavalry. From forty to fifty appli-
cants have presented themselves daily,
but the requirements are rigidly enforc-
ed, and much smaller number take the
oath.

Election con.es, crookedness.

New Orleans, Dec. 12.-Reports
which have been current Of crooked
ness in the Darrell-Acklen contest in
the Third Congressional district, have
at last developed into something more
definite than rumors. The U. S. Dis
trict Attorney has filed criminal in
formation in the U. S. Circuit court
against Geo. B. Loud, charging him
with inducing an officer by illegal means
to violate his duty in regard to a certifi-
cate as to the true result of the election
in the parish of Iberville, for Repre-
sentative in Congress in the Third
Congressional district.
It asserts, according to the evidence
upon which the information is based,
that Geo. b. Loud was instrumental in
having about one thousand ballots, on
which was the name of Darrell, alb
stracted from four ballot-boxes of the
parish of Iberville, and about that
number, with the name of Acklen upon
them, placed in the boxes, thus chang
ing the result of the election. 1t Is
claimed that this change was discov-
cred when the ballots were re-counted
under the order of the Congressional
committee appointed to take testimony.
Two or three of the parties who, it is
said. assisted in this transaction, have
made a statement of the part which
they took in it. Loud was, under the
Kellogg administration, district super
intendent of education.

RECRUITING for the army is actively
commencing, as reports to the War
Department indicate, and will continue
until the enlistments are sufficient to
bring the army up to its authorized
numerical standard. The recruiting is
for all arms of the service. The regu-
lations for enlisting into the army now
are very strict, great care and atten-
tion being required to enlist only men
whose character is known to be good.
Since this great care has been exercised
the number of desertions has been very
much reduced. Only about twenty
two per cent. of the men who applied
to be enlisted last year were accepted.

THE scriptures ought, undoubtedly,
to be denied at all cost and hazard. 1t
is not necessary to proceed to extremi-
ties, as did the Texans, who said with
an oath so big and black that it almost
brought on an eclipse of the sun, that
"if there was an infidel in town he
should be hung to the nearest lamp
post,' and declared that though they
were no better than other folks they
were bound to have the unadulterated
Christian religion in their town and
wouldn't stand any "infidel nonsense
nohow and noway"

The Liquor License Law.

New York, Dec. 12.-Judge Davis
announced his decision to-day in the
matter of the writ of habeas corpus to
procure the release of bar-keeper Treeh.
He said that after giving the case his
most careful consideration, he had con-
cluded to dismiss the writ and remand
the prisoner. This was a test case,
and the judge says the receipt given by
the excise board is in no sense alicense,
and that the "spare beds do not con-
stitute all inn without other accommo-
dations as furnished at hotels.

Tnr war pepartment has been over

THE War Department has been over
whelmed by large number of applica-
tions from civilians for appointment to
commissions in the regular army.
These number already more than eight
hundred. By direction of the Presi-
dent, four applicants haye been exam
ined and passed successfully, but failed
of confirmation by the Senate thus far.
They will remain to be assigned to va
cancies when confirmed, after which,
according to the views of the Secretary
Of War, no more civilian appointments
will be made until the West Point grad
uating class Of 1877 shall have been
taken up in the vacancies which may
occur in the army.

THE total national debt, less cash in
the Treasury, is S2,o46,021, ,O65, or a
little over s44 for every man, woman
and child in the Republic. The debt is
equal to nearly one-eighth of the total
valuation of the country. The debt of
New York bears about the same pro-
portion to the valuation of that city,
while that of Philadelphia is more than
one-seventh of its valuation.

THE House of Representatives at
Washington passed a bill appropriating
$4,000 for the benefit of two girls cap
tured by the Cheyenne Indians. The
precedent established by this bill was
important, as the $4,000 are to be taken
from the Indian fund. Congress thus
compels the Cheyennes to make repa-
ration for the injury done out of their
own annuities.

SENATE.
Washington, Dec. 12.-In the morn
ing hour great numbers of petitions
and many bills were presented and re-
ferred.
Edmonds submitted resolution auth
orizing a select committee to take into
consideration the state of the law re-
specting the ascertaining and declara-
tion of the result of elections Of Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States; also to consider and report upon
the best manner of electing those Off;
GERS, and the duration of their term of
office. Agreed to.
At the expiration Of the morning
hour consideration was resumed of un-
finished business, the resolution of
Mathews declaring the right Of the
Government to pay bonds in silver, and
Chaffee submitted the following as a
substitute:
That all bonds of the United States,
issued or authorized to be issued under
said acts of Congress heretofore re-
cited, are payable, principal and inter-
est, at the option of the Government, in
coin of gold or silver, of standard value
when such bonds were issued, and TO
restore to its coinage such silver coin
as legal tender co-equal with gold coin
as is not in violation of the public
faith, nor in derogation Of the rights
of public creditors. Ordered printed.
Dawes reported adversely on the
petition from friends of female suffrage,
asking to be allowed to use the Senate
chamber to present arguments before
the committee on Elections in favor of
the 10th amendment, granting female

Dawes said the committee expressed no
opinion adverse to the adoption Of such
amendment, but the Senate had invari-
ably declined to allow the chamber to
be used for any other purpose than the
business of the Senate.

ate bill to regulate expenditures in the

now due to any state, and if any states
have been excluded from the benefits of
