The question of the reduction of the whisky
tax may be regarded as irrevocably settled for
the present session OF Congress. The Senate
Finance Committee has unanimously agreed 10
the House resolution declaring it inexpedient
to make any change in the tax.
The House Banking and Currency Committee
is said to have practically agreed to bill to
substitute greenbacks for national bank circu-
iation. The bill provides that greenbacks shall
be receivable for all public and private dues,
except where coin is expressly stipulated.
The United States treasury at present con-
tains $3.50, 40S, 666 in specie. The amount Of
greenbacks now in circulation is $349, Ito, 424.
Federal appointments: Charles McCandless
of Pennsylvania, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court OF New Mexico; John S. Wischer, of West
Virginia, United States Marshal for Idaho;
William J. Pollock, Of Illinois, Superintendent
of Indian Affairs for Dakota; Adolph Dom
browsky, Receiver Of Public Moneys at Shasta,

pointments: Bayard Taylor, Envoy Extraor-
binary ard Minister Plenipotentiary TO Ger

The postoffice authorities complain that the

OF $500, 900 month from the sale of stamps at

There is considerable opposition among the
silver men in the House TO the Bland bill, as
amended and passed by the Senate. The strik-
ing out Of the free-coinage clause exctes the
strongest hostility, Gen. Ewing having declared
that he would not support the bill with this
provisici embodied in it. IL is also announced
that there is no doubt whatever as to the
attitude of the President regarding the meas
ure. An Ohio gentleman, who had a CONVEX
sation with him upon the subject, reports that
he will certainly veto the bill. The grounds
which the President assigned as the basis of
his veto were that, in his opinion, the bill was,
first, an injury to public credit; second, a
breach OF public faith and, thirdly, 1t was
unconstitutional in that it interferes with vest
ed rights, and is violation of contracts.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The New York Suns Washington correspon-
dent is the author of q story to the effect that
the day Thomas G. Anderson was convicted in
New Orleans Senator Kellogg had to pay a note
of $4,000. Endorsed by ex-Congressman
Charles b. Farwell, OF Chicago, for money
borrowed from the Union National Bank, Of
that city, to Fay the expenses of the Repub-
licans who went to Louisiana to see a fair
count. Mr.. Farwell has been inter-
viewed, and says there is no truth
in the story, and that the gen
tlemen who went down from Illinois to witness
the count paid their own expenses. Senator
Sun correspondents story. The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, re-
ferring to this matter, says Kellogg has told
the story to at least twenty persons, whose
names can be given, and on one occasion made
the statement in Senate cloak-room in the
presence Of at least half dozen witnesses.
The President has addressed letter to At
torney General Devens IN relation to the con-
viction Of Anderson, in which he expresses the
opinion that the prosecution is solely political
that it is not countenanced by the best men
in Louisiana, and, therefore, is contrary
to their calm judgment that the pre-
ceedings were in the interest of those
who strive to antagonze the two par
ties in that State, rather than to har-
monte them that, SO far from receiving the
appreciation of the country, the act will be
condemned by right-thinking and patriotic
men everywhere, when they become acquainted
with the circumstances attending the prosecu-
ton. AS grave constitutional questions may be
involved, in which the General Government
may perhaps have a right to interfere, the
President submits the subject to the Attorney
General for his consideration.
The meeting OF the National Democratic
Committee in Washington has been postponed
to the 22d Of May.
1t is announced from Washington that the
President will not remove Anderson from his
Office of Deputy Collector at New Orleans. He
regards the prosecution OF Anderson as politi-
cal persecution, and proposes to show his belief
in his innocence by continuing him as Fed
eral officer, notwithstanding his incarceration
in Jail prevents him from attending to the du-
ties OF the Office.

it is an aboInination to the American.
As soon as they get under their own
roofs they all fail back to the American
mode of living, and luxuriate in griddie
cakes, all of which a Partisan would re-
gard as poison. They exercise the hor-
rible French patties, roast and stuff
their chickens instead of broiling or fry
ing them, serve up their salad without
oil land let those who love oil oil it; they
eat their peas and beans and potatoes
with their meat, and mix things gener-
ally just as they did at home. They
know exactly what they are eating, and
no longer shut their eyes and swallow
whatever is given them without know
ing very often whether it is fish, flesh
or fowl. When an American gets I'M
der his own roof he is always happy in
Paris, and the ladies especially become
attached to it. In short, he maintained
that an income Of $4,000 per annum
would enable a man here to keep his
family in as good a position in polite SO

were not required here, and that fine

The Gratitude Of a Tramp.

In 1853 Miss Myra Kellogg, eldest
daughter of the late Simeon Kellogg,
and sister Of Mark n. Kellogg. who fell
beside Gen. Custer on the Little Big
Horn, was married in this, city to Mr..
Truman J. Stafford, who had represent
ed Green County in our Legislature in
1852, and who, in the year above nam
ed, had removed to the promising vii
lage of La Crosse. The next spring,
however, the young couple moved down
into Iowa and settled on farm, and
several years since went into Dakota.
He was an honest. Woodworking man,
but never succeeded in accommodating
much of this worlds riches. Four years
