Gen. Davis was ordered under arrest, and
remained in his room in the Gait house two
or three weeks. Several times he sent to
General Boyle, in command of the post
asking why he was not released, not under.

prisoner when no proceedings were insti

the suspense was over; telegram was re-

him from arrest. and stating in effect thai

WHAT :?

The query is constantly arising in the pub
lie mind, what will be the outcome of the
seemingly ine1trioable labarynth in which
the country has become involved7 Apparent
~ the whole nation is at skies and seyens.
On the question of finances there is a hone
less division of sentiment. The policv that
one man believes to be the best is by his
neighbor regarded as highly pernicious. On
the tariff We find the same diversity of
opinion. Some clamor for high protect
i've tariff, while others demand absolute
free trade, and each regards the adoption OF
his theories as necessary to the we'll being of
the country. On other questions there is
the same want of unity, not confined to
the two parties, but entering and distractine
both. What will be the outcome7 The pres.
emit Congress will, to large extent, deter
mine.
1t is needless for Congress to attempt to
settle the financial problem. At present the
people are satisfied with tho currency. The
only inconvenience they experience is to find
small change, but this can be obtained by
the release of the silver coin now boarded in
the treasury. No law is required for this.
The only thing needful is to bring pres
sure upon Secretary Sherman to induce him
to do SOTO break up the alliance of the
government with the New York CLEARING
House association, the bitterest foe to our
silver currency. Mr.. Sherman must be
given to understand that it is his duty to
serve the interests of the people of the coun-
try rather than the interests of
clique of capitalists in New
York. he must be forced to
obey the law rather than his own inclinations
in the distribution of patronage. If Con-
gress shall determine to give him the au-
thority to fund the bonds of the government
falling due in the future, it must see that no
latitude is given to the secretary of the treas-
uryeo Fob the people in the manner OF the
past 1t appears from the report of the Sec
rotary that the cost of replacing the five and

At this amusement hall the attendance is

The ameer of Afghanistan, Yakoob Khan,
has been driven into exile by Gen. Roberts,
commanding the British forces at Cabul.
The evidence of his completely in the massa-
ere of the British embassy was not strong
enough to convict him, but there was enough
to show that he was negligent of their
safety. and he has accordingly been banished
from both his throne and his country. This
act is the last in the drama. It signalizes
the intention of Great Britain to assume
permanent domination over tho conquered
territory.
