WASHINGTON, October 17.-An order
issued by the Secretary OF the Treasury
this morning providing for the mode OF
purchasing silver bullion hereafter made,
requires bids on Wednesday of each week
for delivery ut Philadelphia or San Fran
cisco, to be delivered as proposed by bid,
price OF lots under 10000 ounces to be
liked by value, dependent upon the mar
kct value ascertained by tho public bids,
Itisfound by experience that the London
quotations arc not safe guide. The
transactions there arc for less in amount
than in New York, and the quotations are
frequently influenced by speculative move
ments and not by genuine sales.

A Partial onset to Arches Fork In wetxel
County.

As far as heard from the returns in
Grant county give Martin l9i, Burr 2o5
and Thompson 70. A.C. schurr, Rep, is
elected to the House OF Delegates over
whelmingly.
There is one precinct in Grant county
that in point OF its Republican unanimity
almost offsets Arches Fork in Wetzel coun'
ty, the place where neither Hubbard nor
Harrison nor Fisher got vote, and where
Ben Wilson got ITO. We refer to the
Maysville precinct. There the vote stood
Burr 100, Martin 0 and Thompson 0. They
rejoice so much in the mines in that pre-
cinct that we suppose they would greatly
enjoy Moody and Sankey's "Ninety and
Nine" song.

RESIGNED AS MINISTER.

ROME, October 1.-THE Minister OF
War has resigned. The report that Count
Corti had resigned is pronounced to be
premature. The crisis Is unusually grave
and is attributed to the dissatiiaction oil
the Moderates with the programme Of the
home policy contained in the recent
speech OF Premier Carroll. There are also
other causes, one Of which is the inter.
ference Of the Cabinet with the discipline

facts; but while do not hesitate to admit
that there are some persons in the R. E.

so called-who do not hold to the eter-
nifty of future punishment, it should be
stated at the same time that the R. Z.
Church, in its standards, does most une-
quiyocally teach the endless punishment
