Washington Special Gully 2O) to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
If gossip here is to be credited the tender
of the secretaryship of war to ex-senator
Ramsey may create some bad feeling. The
quidnuncs have it that during the closing
hours of the session, and at time when the
Presi lent was in his room adjoing the senate
chamber, that he was waited upon by Don
Cameron, who urged that inasmuch az Penn
sylvania had failed to receive recognition at
the hands of the President commensurate
with the political Importance attached to the
commonwealth, that the MoCrary vacancy
should be given to that State. It is alleged
that tho President told Cameron that the
Pennsylvania politicians were quarreline
among themselves, but that if they would
unite upon man and present his name he
the President would give his claim most
eron replied: '.But I hear, Mr..
President, that you have already rendered
the Office to q gentleman from the North
west p "Well,'' added the President. II
have merely asked him in case offer him
the place if he will accept it, but ! have not
offered it to anybody, nor will until the
vacancy actually exists Since the adjourn
ment of Congress the Pennsylvania
Republicans, after several consulta-
tons, agreed upon the name of s.
NJ. Quay, and offered him as Penn
sylvania's choice. Their disgust can we'll be
imagined when, after all their trouble, AMI
the previous declaration made by the Presi-
dent that the place was still open, upon being
told that Senator Ramsey had been rendered
the Office in writing, and that he had accept
ed it. The secret history of Mr.. Ramsey's
selection if probed to the bed rock, would
show that Mrs. Hayes said that she wanted
r. in the cabinet, and the President obeyed
orders. There is very little sand in the
Presidents craw when Mrs. Hayes puts her
foot down.

PAVILION CONCERT.

Il Grand Open Air Concert and Bali at the
PGVitiOn, Lake Calhoun, on Friday Even-
ina. July 25th.
Arrangements have been made for grand
open air concert and ball at the Pavilion, Lake
Calhoun, on Friday evening, July 25th. Col.
Dove has secured the East Side brass band
for the open air concert early in the eve,,-
ing, when some of their very best seleo-
tions will be rendered. At the close of
the concert the elegant and spacious dining
hall will be thrown opeu to those who wish to
spend few hours in Gripping the light fan
tastic," etc. A full orchestra has been se-
cured anu everything possible will be done to
make the party an enjoyable affair. The Lyn-
dale street railway company will run trains to
and from the pavilion every hour until the
close of the ball. This new feature of
amusement at the lake, it is believed,
will meet with the approval Of the amusement
loving public, and a large crowd of our best
citizens will doubtless be present.
Remember that Friday evening is the time
and the Pavilion the place. COL DOVE has
made every possible effort to make the affair
grand success, and those who do not attend will
miss rare treat. The concert is to be free,
and tickets to the ball have been placed at the
low price of 5O cents, admitting gentlemaa
and lady.

Il Desperate Wife Beater

James b. Laing, who lives at 1910 First
street south, has for some time past exhibit
ed the most brutal conduct toward his wife
and family. On Tuesday night he became
SO violent that Mrs. Laing and the children
fled from the house. Chief Munger sent
Officer Solberg to the house yesterday morn
ing to get the clothes belonging to Mrs.
Laing end the children. Laing locked the
doors at the officers approach, and when
told to open the door replied that che would
blow hole through anyone who attempted
to enter,' and to prove his intentions fired q
shot at the officer. Laing was arrested later
in the day and taken before Jadge Cooley on
charge of assault with dangerous weapon.
His examination was continued to July 28th
and he was held in $500 bonds for his APP
pearance Of that time.

Republican I,s.,slts to I ,ston Soldiers.
Washington Special.

y 5 : 2
The respect shown the nnion soldier BY
the Republican party is not IS sincere as ita
proft ssion, and the recent action Of Mr..
Secretary McCrary is con6rmatory of this
declaration. For some time there has been
employed in the Office of the quartermaster-
general the widow of Colonel Long, of the
United States army. Colonel Long, in fit of
temporary insanity some years ago, commit
ted suicide on account of the intense suffering
he had daily to bear from wounds received in
battle. HIS widow last week was summarily
turned out of ofice, and, with three children, ID
thrown upon the cold charity OF the world.
The contrast to this picture is vivid. In the
office of the public printer, the patronage Of
which is distributed by the Republicans, is
widow, daughter, son and son sin law.of Col
onel wager, of Mississippi, who some years
ago, in the streets of jackson. ass assinated
Colonel Crane, of the United States army,
who at the time Commanded the military
forces stationed at jackson. And yet an
other instance of Republican ingratitude to
the soldier: A few days ago Jasper W..
johnson was appointed by Secretary McCrary
to first class clerkship in the war depart
ment, and to make room for him q union
soldier was dismissed. johnson turned up
here during Bristow's administration of the
treasury department., and was sent by Bris-
tow to Cincinnati as an inspector of customs,
to aid in fixing up the delegations for Bris.
tow's Presidential candidacy. For this
service he was paid $500. Since then he
has been floating about Washington after
the manner of Micawber. He finally made
it appear, by some method of reasoning Pc
culiarly his own, that he had helped Hayes
after Bristow's chances had faded, and he
is now turned in to feed at the public crib
while the Union soldi,r whose place he takes
is turned out to grass.

The House Of Lords.

asSs3I Inc House Of Lords.
Among several of the more active-minded
young peers the apathy and torpor which for
many years have distinguished the house of
lords are source of deep dissatisfaction.
The house of commons always meets at 4
PM, and oftentimes does not adjourn until
am, but the house of lords meets at 8, and
unless there is something of extraordinary
interest cannot be induced to sit later then
its dinner-hour, 8 o'clock. Lord Dunraven
consequently brought forward motion
lately in favor of the lords meeting at p. M,
80 as to give little more chance to young
members who desired to speak, but Lord
Beaconsfield said it would be inconvenient
to the Lord Chancellor and the law lords
and the notion was consequently defeated
by lOl to 81. But more will be heard on
this subject.

Officer Win0 E1Onerated,

The charges against Officer s. I. Wing,
of the police force, were investigated by
Mayor Rand on Monday evening. The
three witnesses who were examined could
give no evidence that Officer Wing was the
man they saw, their only reason for suppos-
ing that the man they saw with woman
was stopped shouldered. The witnesses
we're examined separately and the evidence
was so weak that the mayor has written the
following letter to Chief of Police Munger:
MINNEAPoL1s, Mimi, July 20, 1879.
Chief of Police, A s. Munger-Dear Sir: I
can find no evidence other than that produced
on the investigation. 1t is entirely insufficient
for conviction. and not of even value enough
to damage the character Of Officer Wing. am
especially gratifed at the result, as believe
our police force is without exception very
much above charges of the character described
in the complaint. Very respectfully,
A. @. RAND, Mayor.
The testimony and letter is complete
vindication, and the officer is congratulated
by his friends for coming out from the libel
on his character in such manner.

Windosn's Little Post-o6ace Boom Three
For a Cent.
Philadelphia Times.
They are matter of-fact sort of people
in Minnesota and seem to have taken Sena-
tor Conkling's jocular nomination in dead
earnest. An able and wide-awake postmas-
ter, who publishes one of the leading Repuo-
ican organs in that State, accepts the NOM
ination on behalf of the Senator whose pat
ronage he enjoys and has succeeded in g st.
tingup avery lively Window boom, consid-
ering the warmth of the weather. The only
trouble, as we learn from the dispatches, is
that on the principle, probably, of the
prophet without honor in his own
country. "Mr. WINDOWS usefulness and
capacity are underestimate in Minnesota"
Mr.. Conkling's assurance will set them right,
however, if repeated somewhere else than at
Wormley dinner and earlier Of an evening.
Certainly the Minnesota Senator deserves
anything that his New York admirer can do
for him, since he has always been one of the
latter's most obedient and respectful wor-
shippers. Since Conkling himself is no longer
favorite, or fairly in the race at all, it is
quite in keeping with his methods that he
should have dark horse groomed and ready
to run at short notice when the time comes
around for the national convention.

ST. PAUL TRADE.
Weekly Reutesu Of TIE ST. Paul Markets.
OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,

ST. PAUL, July 20.
The absorbing topic of conversation in com.
mercial circles during the past week has been
the condition and probable yield Of the matur-
ing grain crops, and the result of the ensuing
harvest is naturally anticipated with unusual
interest as the volume Of fall trade, and the
general prosperity of the country almost
wholly depends on the character and extent of
the growing crop. The bright and exoeedinel,
warm weather of the past few days has not
generally been regarded as exercising an un-
favorable influence on the crops
nection arises from the almost daily recurrence
IF showers, which, to limited extent, has had
the effect to superinduce rust, the pernicious
prevalence of which has not been extensive
enough to occasion serious alarm. A quiet
movement has characterized the gain markets
throughout the week, and advices from the sea-
board and intermediate points report
the markets as unusually steady
The receipts of wheat have been exceedingly
meagre, and, with good local inquiry. values
have ruled firm at previous Quotations. The
movement on speculative account is little bet.
ter than nominal, as operators are disposed to
await the result of the harvest before arranging
for the ensuing fall campaign.
The demand for oats has been good. but with
liberal offerings values have ruled one ceut
ger bushel lower than last weeks quotations.
The flour trade has been active. and the m ,lIs
report good trade, with a ready demand
for all grades manufactured.
Business at the wholesale and jObbinp' houses
has been fairly active, and for this season of
the year the principal houses report a very sat-
isfactory order trade. The above ia particu-
larly true of the grocery trade, which in point
of volume is as good now as at any period dur
ing the year.
The dry goods trade has been moderately
active and fair order demand has been expe-
riencad for all descriptions of summer fabrics.
while most of the houses are at present EN-
ployed in receiving and arranging fall stocks.
Values are reported firm at quotations.
Business at the leading hardware houses has
been good, ard the order demand for all de-
scriptions of farm implements and machinery
is undiminished.
With the exception Of the market for nails.
which have undergone further advance.
values have ruled steady at last weeks quota
tions.
The drug trade has been active and colleo-
tiuns are made with ordinary promptitude. the
only change noted being with respect TO opium
and quinine, which have realized farther adj
vance. =
The boot and ahoe houses are actively en-
gagged in arranging fall stocks, while orders
are commencing to How in quite freely. The
market for leather and findings, and hides has
been moderately active, while no change is re-
ported in prices.
