MISSOURI.


st. Louis, Jan. AFTER nearly two
days. effort, jury was obtained in a
trial which promises to be of much
local and considerable general interest,
inasmuch as the defendant is promi-
nent lawyer here, and well known in a
number of cities of the country. 1t is
Il suit brought by the bar association of
this city against Frank J. Bowman,
who has been an active and successful
member of the St. Louis bar some u
years. The charges against Bowman
are numerous and grave, and may be
given under the general head of NAL
practice and unprofessional conduct as
lawyer. Very able counsel are en-
ployed on both sides and the trial is
likely to be long, bitter and full of
acrimony and fight. \ special jury,
consisting of prominent merchants aud
business men, has been empanellel for
the occasion.

THE Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times says it is not be-
lieved that any resolution for the inves-
tigation of Presidential affairs could
pass the House of Representatives, even
If introduced as friendly to the Presi-
dent. Some Democrats would vote for
it, but many Republicans would not.
1t is probable therefore that Chandler's
charges will first excite action in the
Senate, if at all. Some Democratic
senators say they do not care to vote
for an investigation, but will not op-
pose it, provided the Republicans can
get quorum and pass the resolution.
They would be glad to have any cor
rupt bargains exposed that may havo
been made with Democrats last winter.
1t is hinted that if such resolution is
ever offered an amendment will be pro-
posed instructing the committee to in
quire into alleged negotiations between
Senator Conkling and the Democrats,
which had for their object the stoppage
of the count and the holding of new
election. The overtures in this affair
seem to have come from Conkling, and
the possibility of such proposition be-
ing made will probably cause the New
York Senator to be very careful how
he pushes inquiries into what occurred
last winter. Blaine's friends think
Conkling compromised himself in thi:
affair, and they would like to see ar
investigation in the hope that Conkline
would be damaged. 1t is the opinion
OF some that the crowd who are bark
ing at the heels of Hayes do not reall,
desire any investigation, but that the,
would like to see one proposed and ther
voted down by the help of Democrats

Southern Revenue Matters,

Southern Revenue Matters,
Washington, Jan. 4.-Revenue agent
Wagner has been in this city consult
ing with the Treasury authorities upon
the subject of the recent assaults upon
revenue officers, and violations of law
in South Carolina. He gave the Com
missioner and Secretary very full ac-
counts of the condition of the service
and the difficulties that had to be con-
tended with in certain portions of dis
tricts in the South. The Department
will not ask for troops to assist its Off
GERS in indicating the laws, as it is
thought that a sufficient force of its
own officers, properly commissioned and
armed, will not be resisted while max
ing arrests.

Bucharest, Jan. 4.-The army which
was to cross through Schipka Pass and
cooperate with Gen. GourkO in the
movement against Adrianople gives no
sign of activity, and while tie present
weather continues, such operation
would he impossible. The deep snow
offers an almost insurmountable OBJ
stacle to wagons and the Russians have
no sledges. Orders have been issued for
supply of sledges, but by the time
they are ready the snow will probably
have disappeared and the roads be i'm
passable for mud and water. 1t is not
probable that the Russians can reach
Adrianople before May next.
