Assault On the Commander OF the

Assault On the Commander OF the
Union Soldiers Association.
Recent occurrences indicate that the Gus
tom House people have put their DULLES OF
to w. Fl. Harmon, commander OF the Union
Soldiers Association.
The association a short time ago lodged a
formal complaint with Secretary Sherman
against the Custom House officials In this
city. charging them with ignoring the claims
OF Union soldiers to positions in the govern
ment service, and giving the preference to
political hacks and strikers. The Secretary
paid no attention to the complaint, and the
association laid their grievances before the
PUBLIC In an address to the Union soldiers of
ine United States. In which Sherman and the
Y custom House people were handled very Sc
verely
The publication created considerable of 4
stir. and for time it looked as il tie attitude
OF the association would frighten Sherman
into giving the recognition Of their claim =
government employment which the mamhars
desired. Ii was, however, represented 10 the
secretary OF the Treasury that Harmon vas
. White Lacquer; that he had stood guard 1T
the Supreme Court to prevent Packard's
police from taking possession OF the building
and archives, and this settled the matter SO
TAR rs Sherman was concerned. 4 White
Lacquer must of necessity be a Democrat, ana
the services rendered the country by Union
soldiers merited no consideration or reward
unless they were Republicans. 1t mattered
not to the Secretary that Harmon and his
associates declared themselves to be Republi- |
cans and referred to their record to prove 1t, |
the Custom-H House people asserted that Har-
mon was White Lacquer, and the Secretary |
70 rewarded him. /
The association has not ceased Its work, /
however. it has been busily engaged getting
together damaging evidence and testimony to
!ay before the coming congressional commit
ne, and II has accum uated considerable

+ Although Mr.. G. Gault has retired from
the position of assistant general manager of
the st. Paul railroad since the LIST of this
month, it has not yet transpired who his sue
cessor will be. It is certain, however that
choice has been made, but the name is not an
nounced yet for some reason or other. The
Tribune il able to say, however, that it will be
either Mr.. F. N. Fnney, at present general
manager of the- Wisconsin Central railroad, or
Mr.. John Cameron, Of Glasgow, Scotland, for
merly assistant general manager of tho London
d Northwestern railroad, and president of one
Of the "bursted" Glasgow banks. Mr.. CAM
eron came to this country in company with
Mr. Alexander Mitchell, president Of the Mil
Waukee d st. Paul, . short time ago. Mr..
Mitchell, it is said. is anxious to have him &C
cept the position. The indications are that he
will be the successful man, and that his APP
pointments will be officially announced a. soon
az he has become little more familiar with
the business Of the road. It must be remem-
bered that shortly after Mr.. Gault accepted the
general managership of the Wabash, st. Louis
d Pacific railroad, dispatch from Milwaukee
stated that Mr.. Gault's successor had been
chosen, whose name could not yet be divulged.
Mr.. Cameron was evidently the man re-
ferred to.

Centennial Anniversary of the Siege and
Death of Sergeant Jasper.
g SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 9.-Tne Tooth anniver-
sary of the siege Of Savannah and death Of
Sergeant Jasper, was concentrated to-day in
an imposing manner, in the presence of 1900
to 1900 people. Great enthusiasm prevailed.
The volunteer soldiers of Charleston, 8. c.,
Georgia and Florida were represented by over
twenty companies of infantry, cavalry and az
tillery. The entire city was handsomely deco
rated. The procession moved with the band of
the Thirteenth United States infantry at the
head, and q company of federal troops from
the barracks at Atlanta, followed by various
State military organizations, civic societies,
and the Jasper monument commission. After
parade through the principal streets, which
were blocked with people, the procession
reached Madison square, the site of the pro-
posed monument, where q large stand had
been erected, and was deliberately decorated, the
American flag being conspicuous. The corner
stone was laid with the usual ceremonies, BY
Capt. John Mcmahon, president of the Jasper
Monument association. Gen. John B. Gordon,
United States Senator from Georgia, was then
introduced, and delivered = patriotic Grafton.

MOLLY SWUNG OFF

HOLLY SWUNG OFF.
SUNBuRY, Pa, Oct. 9.-Peter McManus, Mol
lie Mcguire, was hanged to-day for the murder
Of Coroner Hesser in 1874. John O'Neill, SEN
fenced to be hanged at the same time, was re-
prieved last night, but the news was not CON-
inundated to him till this morning. About
1900 people assembled in the Jail yard and an
immense crowd were on the street and house
tops McManus mounted the steps of the
scaffold with firm step and faced the crowd,
apparently without emotion. His attorney
then said, "Mr. McManus, we want you to say
now, as your dying declaration, whether the
statement you made to us was true or not
the statement you made in the presence of
Father Koch and others" McManus replied,
1T was correct" and in answer to another
question said he had nothing further to say.
The drop fell at 11:45. There was scarcely
CONFUSION and in 1211 minutes his pulse was
not preceptible. In about minute longer his
heart ceased to beat. In his statement he ex-
onerates ONeill and himself, and duplicates
Canning and Rhoades, two of the common
wealth witnesses, in the murder.

elect, made speech expressing the apprecia.

journeying round the globe. Gen. Grant re-
sponded expressing his qualification Ut meeting
those merchants who had contributed so
largely to building up this
city in its wonderful =. growth.
he had travelled much the past two years, but
nowhere had he seen greater evidences of pros-
perity than here. The condition of the labor
ing classes seemed better here than any place
he had been. Labor left to itself grew debased,
and he had in no part of the world seen such
evidences of the prosperity of the laboring
classes, which was the highest compliment he
could pay to the merchants of the city.
In tbs afternoon he embarked on the steam
er st. Paul for Oregon, the harbor shipping
dipping colors as he passed.
