The Collectorship of the port of Sitka,
Alaska, is not political prize, though
the salary is $4,000, and the man who
essayed to fill it, but was rejected by
the Senate just as he had reached his
slab-board Custom House, is now in ter
rible straits. He exhausted all his re-
sources in transporting his family to the
inhospitable shores of our northern
possession, and had no sooner reached
there than he received knowledge of the
fact that he wasn't wanted. He had no
money and no friends, and no way either
to give his family bread or to bring them
back; and for time they we're all in
sore need. At length, by the kindness
of foreigner who had known some of
the Collectors family abroad, he was
enabled to borrow sufficient sum to re-
turn to San Francisco, and finally sue
ceeded in reaching Washington, where
nothing can be done for his relief.

The returns of life insurance in En-
gland do not compare favorably with the
same business in this country. The
largest English company has only $780,
100000 of assets, against $S2, 0oO,OOO in
the largest American; the ten largest
companies in this country have $780,
100000 of assets, against $193, 00O, 900
in the ten largest English companies.
The English companies average only
Ais per cent. on their investments, ours
$50 per cent, which accounts for the
great difference in income and in the
rapidity of accumulation. Of the
twenty-nine leading companies in both
countries, the English supported ST.
100000 of risks on an income of $48,-
100000, and ours risk of 81, 621, OO0,-
900 on an income of $89,OOO,OOO.

TREASURY DEPT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8. {
The Hon. Clarkson n. Potter, Chairman Investi-
eating Committee, House of Representatives
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 1st inst upon my
return to the city after brief absence. In
respect to the evidence rendered by me to
prove frauds and intimidation at the election,
[ have to say that, since the date of your
letter, the question seems to have been
settled by the committee in favor Of taking
such testimony, as E. L. Weber, a witness
called by the committee, has been examined as
to whether there was violence and fraud at
the election in East Fellciana. In his pre-
pared statement he was not only allowed to
testify to the extent of violence and fraud in
East and West Feliciana but to the causes of
that violence, and its effect upon the election,
and the next day was examined by members
of the committee distinctly upon the
causes and grounds for the throwing
out of the vote of these parishes Surely,
when the committee thus seeks TO prove that
violence and intimidation did not prevail il
these parishes, cannot be denied the right to
prove that murder, whipping, burning. raiding
and all forms of intimidation did prevail in
b ,th these parishes, and that in East Feliciana
these were sufficient to deter every Republican
voter from voting, though there had pre-

SHIPMENTS of live cattle and hogs are
steadily on the increase from this coun-
try to England. The principal cause of
loss in shipping live cattle is the lack of
proper ventilation in the holds of ordi-
nary steamers, and nearly all the deaths
among cattle are caused by s'lffocation.
In order to overcome this difficulty it is
proposed to organize line of steamers
especially for the transportation of live
cattle, with padded stalls and adequate
facilities for ventilation, and, if the bust
ness increase as present indications
promise, the steamers will probably be
bought and reitted SO as to be running
next season.

AT 1T AGAIN.

Inc work OF Terrorism Again Inausp-
rated in the South.
Information from the Abbevi11e Dis
trict in South Carolina is to the effect
that the Democrats have already begun
a system of terrorism to prevent Repub-
Leans from organizing for national
purposes, several of the local
papers in that section charging that
the Republicans of that vicinity have
completed ticket, and that it is al
ready being circulated secretly among
colored voters. and upon this curious
charge an attempt is being made to stir
up the white citizens to take this matter
IN hand, and act in time, an act vigor-
ously. In the Edgefeld District one of the
local newspapers, in commenting upon
this reported secret action on the part
OF the Republicans, says that the same
thing is feared in Edgefeld county.
and upon this urges that two Repub-
hcans, who are supposed to be the lead
ers In this movement, should, if they
dared to lift their hands or fingers in
political Vaccinations, be seized and
hung. To use his own words: eyes,
we mean exactly what we say. IF those
named and others ever dare to in
augurate political schemes in Edgefeld
again, let us hang them. Not only our
own eff-respect, but our safety, de-
mands it, and without masks or dis
guise."

Some negro men declare that six armed
men came to their cabins, just across the

wounded in the arm by a pistol ball,
which he says was fired by these men.
The colored people on that side are in
great fear"

Vera Sassulitch i'm Switzerland.

Vera Sassulitch arrived at Geneva, in
disguise, two days ago. She relates an
extraordinary story respecting her ad-
ventures, after her acquittal atSt. Peters
burg, upon the charge of shooting Ire
poff, Project of Police. During the riot
which followed her acquittal, she was
seized by some secret agents of police,
who were disguised as medical students,
and who persuaded her they were
friends. They hurried her through an
unfrequented passage-way to carriage
standing near, and she was driven with
them to house in the suburbs, where
she found herself detained in a sort of
honorable confinement. At length it
was intimated to her that she was to be
transported to Siberia, but, the same in
formant told her that, for certain con-
sideration, which she consented to give.
he would arrange for her escape.
She was provided with an attire of
Sister of Charity, and, with papers
showing that she was empowered to visit
Paris on a mission, she managed to cross
the Russian frontier, and to find her way
to Geneva.
A supper was given in honor of Vera
Sassulitch here, at which she sat at the
right of Henri Rochefort. She made
speech, in which she declared she had
given herself, body and soul, to the
cause Of revolution, and that, in her
opinion, its triumph was not far distant.
The Russian people, she said, were fast
becoming undeceived. The blood that
had been spilled in tine late war was the
last that would be shed in combats insti-
gated by the ambition of princes. The
next combat would be that of the people
against kings. Other speeches at the
supper were of violent character

for resting, and fountains of water for

THE English railway corporations are
brought to book whenever passenger
takes his grievance into court. A solic-
itor bought a ticket at Paddington for
Ludlow on the day before Whit-Sunday.
When he reached Shrewsbury, the train
being seventy-fve minutes late, he
found that the evening train for his
destination had already started. He
requested the officials to run him spe-
cial, but they declined, and told him he
must wait for train at 3:15 the next
morning. The passenger thereupon
posted to Ludlow, mourning an expense
Of over $40, for which he proceeded to
sue the company in the Hereford County
Court. The company pleaded that the
train was delayed because it was holt
day time, and that it was stated on their
time tables that they would not be re-
sponsible for the due arrival or depart
ure Of any trains. The Judge gave a
verdict for the plaintiff with costs, and
refused to grant a case for a superior
court. Heaven hasten the DAY when il

The most monstrous grasshopper we
have ever seen is on exhibition at the
Office of F. M. West, County Treasurer.
It is preserved in alcohol, and was cap
tured some time since near Copperopo-
lis. It is nearly six inches long, and it's
body is an inch and quarter in depth,
while its head is as big as man s thumb.
The wings, when spread, must have
measured ten inches from tip to tip.
The legs are as large as a lead pencil at
the body, and about four or five inches
long. The enormous body is quite trans.
lucent, and its ribs can be distinctly
seen. An army of that species would

The Peruvian railroads over the Andes
climb the mountains by sharp grades
and turns. One road winds up the
mountains in zigzag and oftentimes al
most circular path, and at one point there
are two tunnels through the side OF the
peak, one directly above the other in the
same lateral direction. The rarefed at
mosphere at the great elevation reached
on the summit presented many new feat
ures in railroading, as a locomotive had
never before been worked at these
heights. 1t was supposed by engineers
generally that it would be impossible to
keep up steam above 5000 or 10000
feet. This problem was solved in very
simple manner. At great elevations it
