Bold Highway Robbery.

The borough Of Oxford, Chester
county, Pa, was thrown into a state
Of excitement on Monday evening
about s o'clock, owing to a gentleman
named W. N. Thompson, Of Chicago,
being knocked down by two despera-
does, and while in an insensible condi-
ton from the blow, robbed Of valua-
BILE watch and chain. The affair took
place on one Of the most public
thoroughfares Of the town, and so dex-
terously did the thieves do their work
that they succeeded in getting off with
their spoils. Several citizens noticed
the villain running, but not knowing
Of the act tailed to give chase and ar
rest them. The robbery is supposed
to have been psrpetrated by two
strangers who were noticed lounging
about the borough during the past. two
or three days. Mr.. Thompson soon re-
covered from the blew sufficiently to
relate the facts of the assault, and his
injuries are not at all Of . serious
character.

The Walker Diyorcs case.

HARTFORD, Sept. 3o.-The Walker di-
vorce case did not come up in the supe-
rior Court to-day, as an unfinished trial
occupied the day; but it is assigned for
o-morrow, and, it is expected will pro-
coed without further delay. Mr.. W..
and his counsel have been busy to-day
preparing an answer to the specifica-
tions set forth in Mrs. Walkers charges
and the document will probably be
fled tomorrow. The counsel has
objected to giving it out for publication
in advance of the trial. Mrs. Walkers
attorneys speak very confidently OF
making a very strong case in her be-
half. Friends of her husband assert
that she is a high-strung woman, and
that much of the trouble existing was
caused by her exoitabls disposition. No
one, however, says anything rejecting
upon her character otherwise, and
public sympathy is generally with her.

han placed the pistol to his own head
and shot himself in the right temple

Repsd,stiou In Te.ne ssss.

WAsHiRoros, Aug. 13.-Judge Free
man, Assistant Attorney General TOR
the Post Ofics Department, . native Of
Tennessee, has just returned from his
State. He travelled in all parts Of Ten
nesses during the recent canvass. HI
reports that the people were never
more prosperous or better able to pay
all their debts, public and private, than
now. He thinks that practically moth
ing has been decided about the State
debt.
Anti repudiators voted for the soal-
ing process, believing that if 1t we're
not carried, entire reputation would
certainly result. Others voted against
it because they thought 1t only prelim-
mary TO the reputation Of the remain
ing portion of the debt. As rule the
Republicans are opposed to the scaling
project and the Democrats are favor
able to it. Judge Freeman holds
that Tennessee must be classed
as doubtful State, because many
of the strongest Democrats will
cast their influence with the Republi-
cans and in favor Of maintaining the
credit Of the State as the only safe poll
cy from business point OF view. He
thinks that with another years agita.
tion public opinion will so shape itself
that the proposition which already has
the assent OF the bOndholders to refund
the debt at 60 per cent will meet with
favor with q majority of the voters.

ter, must be written to the strange ro
nance of the theft of Alexander T
Stewards body. The negotiations be-
gun in January last, as announced in

the hands of the robbers.
Of the five robbers only Henry G
Romaine is known by name. The law
yer through whom they have sought
to negotiate is Patrick H. Jones, form,
erly Postmaster, and later Register O
New York. The sum demanded was
5000, 600. Judge Hilton refused to pay
more than $1,000, the original reward
for the return of the body.

robbers and body. Judge Hilton, OF

Mckinney, chairman of the Ohio demo-
cratic executive committee, in which
he states that after brief visit To
Washington he will go to Deer Park,
Md, where he will remain for q few
days preparing his first speech for the
campaign. Senator Thurman is of the
opinion that he cannot speak in Ohio
as early as the Goth of this month, but
he will lot the State committee know
when he reaches Deer Park. The Sen
ator says that it is impossible for him
to say how many speeches he will make
during the campaign, but that he will
make all he can. He has suffered ss-
verely from cough and sore throat,
but says that his stay at the Isle Of
Shoals has nearly cured him, and that
If he could have remained there two or
three weeks longer he believes he
could have been perfectly cured. He
has fears that when he goes West again
the trouble will return. He hopes for
the best in this respect, and says when
he gets to Ohio hs will spare no pains
to insure the success of the democracy.

ter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The reesn,
letter of Commissioner Raum to the
Secretary ofthe Treasury showing the
very creditable manner In which the
officers of Internal Revenue have per-
formed their duties during the last fs-
cal year has excited the ire Of the
Democrats.
To break the force Of the letter, the
Washington "Press" publish cd q long
article yesterday Impeaching the accu-
racy ofCommissioner Raum's statement.
and making great account ofthe falling
of In the amount of revenue collected
since June 80, 1877. The "Poet" refers
to the report Of the First Controller,
which stated that $3.50, 24O was out
standing against Collectors Of Internal
Revenue on the 30th of June, 1875.
An examination Of this document
reveals the interesting fact that Of this
sum in default nearly $1,000, 600 in
round numbers accrued during the ad-
ministration Of President Johnson's ap.
pointees. Under the Administration Of
President Hayes, the total shortage
thus far is only S2,7S6.l3, all Of which
Is believed to bs c0llectable. The fig.
ures speak for themselves.
As to the decrease of internal reve.
nue. receipts since June 3Oth, 1877, II
cannot be forgotten that great financial
depression was the marked feature oi
the years 1876, 1877 and 1878. The
stringency of the times forced the dis
tillers Of spirits generally to suspend
operations, and there was closing up
in all the spirit producing sections Of
the country.
Congress was appealed to for further
time whereby spirits might remain in
bond anda law was passed extending
the period two years, making, with the
year previously allowed, total Of three
years for spirits to remain in bond and
hence not liable to payment Of tax.
This extension has not yet expired
by the limitation Of the law. Except
for the passage of this law over 3,000,-
600, gallons Of spirits then in bond
would have been forced to a withdraw
al during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1878, and the tax paid thereon
would have amounted to $2, TAI, 900.

EYarts for GNyernor.

A dispatch from Washington, dated
August l3, says that friends of Mr..
Evarts state that his recent interview
with Thurlow Weed was the first step
in a move to make him Governor OF

tunate attitude in which Senator
Conkling has been placed by the af-

tempt TO secure for Mr.. Evarts the nomi.
nation a very promising one. They
are openly counting on having seen the
last of Mr.. Conkling's prominence in
New York politics, and. insist that now
the elements OF the party that have
long opposed the Senator will assume
the leadership.
No one, they think, will better rep
resent or M, re completely harmonize
those elements than Mr.. Evarts, and
their expectation is that, should the
