PHINEAs FoGG OUTDoNE.-A
nice point in the matter Of regis
tration was decided in New
York, on the Sd inst, by Judge
Donohue. Mr.. Beltram Wills
went 70 the registry Office of the
Sixth election district Of the Fifth
Assembly district to register.
AS he offered himself for regis
tration the clock struck nine P.
NJ, and the registers refused to
allow him to register, claiming
that the law limiting the hours
Of registration from eight A. NJ.
to nine P. NJ. did not permit his
registration. Not caringto lose
his vote he applied yesterday
through Mr.. Peter Mitchell, his
counsel, to Judge Donohue for
a mandamus directing the regis
ters to allow him to register
After quite an argument as to
whether it was nine P. NJ. until
after the clock had struck the
hours, the Judge held that the
time designated for registration
did not expire until aftor the
clock had struck nine o'clock.
A mandamus was accordingly
directed to issue.

dent is the whole government

these to read that much talked
of but little understood docu-
ment, the Constitution Of the

the powers of the Executive,

how much power a hostile House

Referring to the statement in one OF
the New York morning journals that a
shipping firm in that city were prepar~
ing to fit out BY private subscription a
vessel to search for relics Of the Frank
lin expedition, Captain Howgate says
that the commander Of the Florence,
the advance vessel of the national ex-
pedition to the Arctic seas. has instruc-
tions to collect all attainable relics Of
the unfortunate Franklin and bring
them back on the return voyage next
year, and that it would be better to wait
such return than to fit out at great ex-
pense u second vessel to 90 over the
same gronnd. Capt. Howgate thinks
that the friends of Arctic research would
do we'll to concentrate their energies
upon one well directed effort under ma
tional auspices. and not to waste them
upon disjointed and spasmedic under
takings which. however we'll Intended,

The New Policy of the State
Department in compelling our

That was a pretty solemn gather
ing at Secretary Sherman's house in
Washington last week, when the
Republican leaders relieved their
minds on the political situation, but
it was illuminated by one delicious
CLEAN of humor from General But
ler. When the Genera; arose to
give his views he began by stating
with great seriousness that he was
pleased to meet with his colleagues
from Massachusetts, and that he
could not remember that he had
ever been called to a conference
with them before, unless it was to
consider the preliminaries of some
funeral. Washington has not finished
laughing at the neat joke yet.

The Custer Battle.

NFw York, Nov. 1.-THE
Times Washington special says,
Col. Corbin, of the Sitting Bull
commission, has returned to
Washington. The rest Of the
commission will reach here
Monday next, when they will
commence preparation for their
report. Corbin communicates
some interesting facts in connec-
ton with Sitting Bull, which
have not heretofore been pub
lished. He says the commission
had a number of private inter
views with Sitting Bull, and
found him to be very agreeable
in his manner, and very intel
ligent Indian. When the COM
mission started on their return
trip, Sitting Bull accompanied
them for a number of miles, con-
versing freely about the business
of the commission and of the
Custer campaign. Sitting Bull
repudiated the idea that Custer
and his men were massacred,
and says it was a fair fight, in
which the desperation of Custer
and the men under his command
made it necessary for the Indians
to kill them. Sitting Bull says
Custer charged upon his camp
with great impetuosity, creating
a temporary panic amongst them,
but the Indians soon rallied, and
ou.numbering Custer ten to one,
they were enabled TO surround
him. He says Custer and his
men refused to surrender, and
fought until the last man was
killed. He expressed great ad-
miration for Clusters bravery
and that of the men who were
with him, and was sorry that his
refusal to surrender made it nee
cssary to put him to DEATH
When the Indians discovered
Major Reno, who was command
ing the second division of Gus
ter's forces, they supposed it. was
the entire force under the COM
mand Of Terry, and Immediately
made preparations for retreat,
sending their women and chill
dren forward. When Reno made
his attack, the Indians began to
retreat, and Sitting Bull says,
had Reno followed them up at
that time, he might have captur-
ed the larger part of their train.
Reno, however, discovered that
the Indians were in such force,
and ascertaining the fate of Gus
ter, fell back to place where he
entrenched himself and from
which he was relieved.

no black bonnets, nor black dress

have them, they are at liberty to
wear them. The services may
be permitted, as singing and a
prayer offered, and if any of my
friends wish to say a few words,
and really desire, do SO; and
when they have closed their SER
vices, take my remains on bier

ground which l have reserved

House on the hill, and in the

Then place fiat rocks over the

it, that the earth may be placed
over it-nice, fine, dry earth-to
cover it until the walls of the
little cemetery are reared, which
will leave me in the southeast
corner. This vault ought to be
rooted over with some kind of a
temporary roof: There let my
earth house or tabernacle rest
in peace and have good. sleep
until the morning of the first
resurrection /; no crying, no
mourning with any one that l
have done my work faithfully
and in good faith.
l wish this to be read at the
funeral, providing that i'll should
die anywhere in the mountains,
l desire the above directions re-
specting my place of burial to
be observed; but if l should live
to go back with the Church to

during the eight years of Robe
sons administration will at least
be thorough. In addition to the
labors of the Nav3 Committee
and the Committee on the Ex-
penditures of the Navy Depar-
ment, the Appropriations Com
mittee will also make searching
inquiry into the method of dis
bursements in that department
and the bookkeeping system by
which unexpended balances have
been carried to expense accounts
and a continual falsfcation of tho
expenditures of the department
sanctioned. A member of the
Appropriation Committee said
to-day, that the alleged deficit Of
100000 did not occur at the
close of Mr.. Robsson's admins
tration, but merely represented
the aggregate ofmoneys diverted
to pay claims for contracts which
never had the sanction Of law.
He was of opinion that the ser

qu,red to go over the accounts,
and that the period would en-
brace all the time Mr.. Robson
was Secretary.
The Consul at Leeds concludes
his report to the Department Of
State as follows:-While the ex-
port trade of England to the
United States is rapidly declin-
ing her import trade from the
United States is increasing year
after year, and these imports are
goods which she must have, while
her exports are goods not actual
ly necessary to us. During the
year 1865, England imported
from the United States SS4,700,-
900, and exported thereto S122,-
00,OOO, a balance Of trade in
favor Of England of over s37,-
100000. During the year 1876,
she imported from this country
goods to the value of 1867 ,352,-
900, while her exports hither
amounted to only S99,O00,O0O,
1924, 900, 900 less than in 1869
showing a balance of trade in
favor of the United States of
over s265, 100000. 1t is appa-
rent that the United States is
destined to be the only country
on the whole globe where all re-
quirements, both necessaries and
luXuries, can be produced, being
dependent upon other countries
for nothing in exchange for her
surplus productions, so that there
must be COZ slant accumulation
