ONE or THE BEAUTIFUL ACTS OF THE con.
FEDRRATE CONGRESS,

A Special Agent OF the Postoffice De.
partment arrested in New Mexico, a mail
robber belonging to gang Of Texas high
waymen. A Judge granted an order Of
removal to Texas for trial, but the United

necessary expenses. He telegraphed to a
Marshal in Texas, but the latter was in the
same condition. The postoffice agent

by stage, the company carrying him on
trust, and the agent providing provisions
for an 800 mile journey and guarding the

A Sea Captain in Trouble.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The steam
er Newbern arrived from Mexican
ports arrived to-day in charge of the
first officer, Capt. Metzger having been
arrested in Mazalton for alleged viola
tion of the revenue under the new law
of Mexico. The captain of the vessel
is made responsible for the errors or
misdoings of the consignor. Four
packages Of freight were found in the
custom house at Mazalton from this
port. They therefore arrested Capt.
Metzger and confined him in jail. Bail
was offered but the Judge would not
allow him to be bailed out and the
latest advices are to the effect, that he
is still incarcerated.
In his protest made before the Unit
ed States consul, Capt. Metzger said he
knew nothing whatever of the alleged
smuggled packages and that no bill for
freight has even been presented by the
owners of the Newbern or paid by any
one to them.
If Capt. Metzger' is found guilty the
penalty will be two years imprison-
ment.
U. s. Consul Kilton hopes to clear
him Of charge as there is no proof that
the packages in question were landed
from the Newbern.

Rule for ventilating Bedrooms.
A simple device is within the reach
of every one having an ordinary win
dow in his room, by which fresh outer
air can be admitted ina small quantity
with such an upward current as will
prevent its being felt as an injurious
draft by the inmates. 1t is particu-
larly adapted to sleeping rooms when
the weather is too cold to admit Of an
open window. Thus, start both top
and bottom sashes. of the window half
an inch, which is not quite enough to
clear the rebatee or stop beads at top
or bottom, but which leaves an open
ing OF an inch between the meeting
rails, through which current enters,
but diverted upward by the glass as 1t
should be, SO as rot to fall directly to
the floor. as its GOODNESS might other
wise induce it to do. 1t thus becomes
well mixed with the air Of the room
without being felt as draft.

morning large number of ladies' and
gentlemen were presented to the presi-
dent and to Gen. Sherman, and the ut
most good feeling prevailed. The re-
ception Of the executive party at Tope-
ka is one of the notable events of the
trip and afforded him great pleasure
and satisfaction.

New York, Sept. 27.-The Times
says, satirically, it is idle to oppose
Grants nomination as the next repub-
lican standard bearer, solely on the
ground that he has deserved well OF
the people, and is an honest and trust
worthy man. Powerful as this argu-
ment is, it is not absolutely conclusive.
That Grant saved the union, that his
honesty and patriotism are unquestion-
ed, and that he can be trusted to pre-
serve the government which be saved
may not be universally accepted as
forming constitutional disqualified
tion for the presidency.
Intelligent opposition to his nomina-
tion should be based upon the damning
fact that he has mind of his own, and
cannot be made to recognize the prece-
dence that policy should have over
principle. -i

THREE MILLIONS
is THE Loss OF DEADwooD.
Work of Rebuilding Begua-Citizens
: Poor. but Prond-Rustling from
the Start-County Records
Destroyed.

Deadwood, Sept. N.-The city has
presented an unusually active appear
ance to-day, the flames and smoke
having cleared away enough to allow
the mass OF ruins to- be cleared away
and the erection Of tents and small
wooden shanties, Of which there have
been from seventy-f1ve to hundred
put up. Almost every class Of business
is represented ON Main and Sherman
streets, and all having an immense rush
of custom although prices have not ad-
vaneed except in very few instances
where demand for some articles was
greater than the supply and the ad-
vance has been slight. AL the daily
papers are issuing on small sheets being
struck off at Lead and Central cities.
They contain little else than fre news.
Lumber is being hauled in by every
available team in this vicinity and
bringing forty-six dollars per thousand.
The mills are running night and day,
but not enough can be brought In to
supply the enormous demand. Some
had shanties erected within fve hours
from the time of the outbreak. All day
kilograms have been pouring in, offer
ing stocks Of goods, money, clothing,
food, etc., but as yet nothing but mer-
chandise has been accepted. M relief
committees have been organized yet,
and probably Wilt none. The peoplewho
aro bronbr,,nf onI v,or,olacc do ~ok
want to accept aid from the outside
world. Merchants and others are very
generous, able and willing to stand their
share of the burden.
the bar this afternoon resolutions were
passed asking Judge Moody to remain
here instead of attending the October
term of the supreme court at Yankton,
so that IN case his services are needed
he whould be at hand. The supreme
court will probably adjourn for few
weeks until the city is partially rebuilt
and quiet is restored.
The losses in addition to those tele-
graphed last night are: Northwestern
stage company, 5000; Russell's bill
lard hall, $1,000; VIM. Brown, cigars
tobacco and firearms, $4,000; Black
Hills brewery, $1,000; Glib, Stone &
Co., furniture, 1880; Bella Union
theater, 5000; Gem theater, s12, 900;
J. A. Meeker, 5000; F. Zipp, boots
and shoes, $40. 900; Jacob wertheimer,
Sl2, 200; ]. H. Burns, lawyer, $500.
Competent judges place the total loss
at fully S3.00s, 900. although ssme time
must elapse before the exact figures can
be obtained.
Tbs bank vaults were opened to-day
and found intact, and the chronome-
ters on the time locks were still rum
ming. Both banks will open Monday.
All that was saved of the county
records, books, etc., was one set Of
books from the treasurer's office. The
assessment rolls were all destroyed, and
at meeting Of the county commits
sioners this afternoon a new assessment
was ordered to be taken as soon as pos
sible.
Strong guards are on duty at the
bank vaults, the outer doors of which
were left unlocked, and no one is
allowed to pass without being recog-
nized.

MILITARY MATTERS.

1t is a mistaken notion that most
people have that the officers of the
army are all, or nearly all, graduates Of
the West Point military academy. A
prominent officer was astonished the
other day, when told that Mcclellan
was the first West Point man who ever
commanded the army, but upon max
ing an investigation, he found it was so.
Col. Corbin Of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry, has compiled an interesting
statement, showing the number Of off,
GERS educated for the service, which is

A PORTLAND correspondent of the Bos-
ton Traveller says the first intimation he
had that any counting-out was to be resort
ed to was given him by the chairman of the
Democratic State committee who on being
rallied upon TIE result the morning after
election, said ''you must remember that zee
have the returning board" An explanation
from Mr.. Dana is in order. The cores
pondent also says the next intimation came
from a prominent Democratic politician
''who was a candidate lastyear for council
lor from this district. About four weeks ago
when the Democratic leaders met here in
consultation, that gentleman disclosed the
plot to his friends, with the remark that he
was glad that he was not on the council
this year as they were going to count out
the Republicans SO as to give Democratic
majority in both brar ches of the legislature.
l have referred to these facts to show, in
case it comes to naugl.t, the authority OF the
Democrats themselves that such conspi
racy was contemplated"
