A Rig DAYS Work.-We lear,

A big Days Work.-We learn from
Mr.. JAS. w. Ross that the sale of stamps
in the Internal Revenue Office OF Thursday
last, let inst, was the largest days sales on
record in that Office. This was the day on
which the late act of Congress went into
force, reducing the revenue on tobacc o
from "a to 16 cents. The tobacco factories
had been lying idle for some time awaiting
this day, which proved to be grand rush.
The total value of the stamps sold upon
that day was $35, 900, of which $23, 900 was
for tobacco stamps alone. OF the total OF
S35, 900 in the District. Toledo dealers pur.
chased S27, ,000-$ls000 of which was de-
livered between IL and O'Clock AN. The
remainder of the night was spent in putting
the stamps upon the packages and the ne I
day the depols were filled with tobacco for
shipment.
II is estimated that the Government will
lose annually about $9,000,000 revenue
from this reduction, while the consumer
gains nothing, the prices being kept up at
the old figure. Let's swear of, sell out and
60 into the revenue business.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Preferences of Missouri Germans-Demo.
Gratis for neutrality-suspicious. Averse to
Grant Preferring Adams. Bristow or
Washburn.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 16.-The Post Dispatch this
evening contains interviews with the editors of
tbs four German newspapers published here
on the question of Presidential candidates.
DR.. Pretorious, of the Westliche Post, Repub-
ican, said the nomination of Grant would be
more pleasant to German Republicans than to
German Democrats. Both are firmly opposed
to aristocratic, military and monarchial ten
denotes. Should the Democrats nominate
Bayard the Germans will rejoice. German vot-
ers, irrespective of party. would prefer a cam
didate clearly identified with the conservative
that il, liberal and progressive interests of the
country. German Democrats would prefer a
man like Bayard, Palmer or Hancock, while
Charles F. Adams, Jr.. Bristow or Washburn
would be favorites with German Republicans.
Mr.. Pretorious did not say whether the Post
would support Grant in case he was NOM
mated.
DR.. Preuss. of the Ane,ika. Democrat, said
Davis and others General Hancock, the largest
proportion favor Bayard, and should the latter
be nominated all will vote for him. Tilden is
considered the weakest candidate the Demo-
Gratis could nominate.
Carl D"enger, of the Anseiger. independent
Democrat, said the German press of the coun-
try may be counted for Bayard. With German
Democratic voters Bayard is certainly the fa-
vorite and there is no doubt a large number of
German Republican voters in the Western
States will vote for him in preference to Grant,
who is the weakest candidate among the Ger
man voters.
Albert Curtin, of the Tolks- Zv,nn,e, organ Of
the Socialists, eaid Bayard is the strongest
candidate among the Germans. Some of them
will vote for Grant, should he be nominated,
but most of them have a strong aversion to
him.

Yesterday, through the courtesy of Tailor
Lemm, who acted as interpreter, We inter-
viewed the prisoner, who denied having any
thing to do with the murder, or any knowl-
edge of it until told by the deputy sheriff
when arrested. He says he left home at 2
O'Clock Monday morning, November 3d-the
day following, it will be remembered, the
discovery of the evidences of the murder by
the neighbors-with an OK team and accom-
panied by his brother in-law, August
Rhemer, on begging expedition,
reaching Long Prairie about day
light, and Sank Centre on Tues
day morning. He says he had not seen
either Colway or Steinhuber since the burn
ing of his house; had seen both last during
potato digging time. After the fire himself
and brother had lived with their sister until
they fixed their granary, in which they af-
forwards lived, and he says that when he
started away on the Sd inst, he left his
brother and Colway's wife in the granary.
Hs says that they were both married, having
families in Germany; Jonn had left his
and the prisoner his wife and child last
February. ...-
In subsequent interview, this forenoon,
he stated that on Monday, October 9th,
(Which evening the murder was commitied)
he was engaged in picking up nails at the
place where their building was burned, his
brother having gone to the mill to get lum-
Der to be used in building a second or upper
floor in the granary; and that himself and
brother and Cclway's wife staid in the gran
airy that night. He said that for two or three
nights after the fire they staid at his sister,
but that after that the three slept at the
granary, getting their meals, at his sisters
and that they occupied this granary until the
morning of November Sd, as previously
stated, when he left on the begging trip
This was about mile from Steinhuber's

TIE MISSOURI PACIFIC.

The Jay Could Crowd Take In Another
Missouri Road-The st. Louis Conun-
drum, What Does It Mean.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
ST.. LOUIS, No., Nov. l6.-St. Lonis was all
agog yesterday owing to rumor that Commo-
dore Garrison, president and chief owner of
the Missouri Pacific railway. had deposited in a
New York bank Jay Gould's check for SO, 800,
QUO. There was only one inference from this
fact and that was that Gould had bought
another of the greatest roads which centers
here. Inquiry among the officials at this end
of the line went to show that
THIS INFERENCE WAS CORRECT,
for Oliver Garrison, vice president of tho road,
acknowledged that he had received telegram
calling him to New York at once and that Jay
Gould was the purchaser. just what this new
investment of Gould's means is a most inte-
resting conundrum here, which none are able
to solve. His purchase of the Wabash d st..
Louis and Kansas City Northern gave him a
through route from seaboard to seaboard, and
it can only be judged that this new purchase
simply means that he considers the road good
investment, independent of the connections it
affords.
