Killen's Trial.
SLIGO, November 26.-The town was
on the verge of riot last night, and the
police had to clear the streets. They
were stoned, and made several arrests.
Davitt was serenaded by two bands.
The police paraded the streets this
morning. Further reinfOrcements have
arrived. No fresh disturbances have
occurred. 1t is thought the Govern
ment intends to remove the trials OF the
prisoners to Dublin, instead of taking
them to the County Assizes. A larger
number OF magistrates are on the bench
to-day than heretofore. killen's
examination is progressing. Davltt
and DAILY are present as spectators. Da-
witt has telegraphed to Newcastle that
he viii keep his engagements to speak
there Sunday and Monday, and will at
tend the monster meeting at Glasgow.
Monroe, Queens counsel, said that Kill
len, being barrister, might lead the
people to believe that they could act
upon his advice. He made a long
quotation from Killen's speech at
meeting, on which he (Monroe)
relied for Killen's committal,
to the effect that he would like nothing
better than to see thousands OF men
coming over the mountains rifle in
hand He showed that others who were
present at the meeting had demon
strated against Killen counseling physi-
cal force. Rea made a long rambling
speech for the defence. He was ordered
by the bench to sit down. Shorthand
reporters and others were then eX-
amined.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Finished and i'm the Printers
Misunderstanding Legal-Tender
Nnkaa

WASHINGTON, November 26.-The
Presidents message IS now IN the hands
of the printer. Five hundred copies will
be prepared for the Associated Press
to mail To newspapers, to be published
Monday simultaneously y withits delivery
To Congress. The message will be about
rs long as that oi last year.
The most serious question which has
been under consideration by the admin
istratiOn, in connection with the Presl-
dents message and Secretary Sherman $
report, is as to the retirement OF legal
tender notes. 1t is generally under
stood that the President will recommend
their retirement, although his determln-
alton NAV be changed before Congress
assemblies next Monday. An official
very near him has said that he and Sec
retary Sherman would make the reco-
mendation. but a cabinet officer gave
it as his opinion that nothing
would be said about the sub
iect. Whatever may be the final
decision there is no doubt that the adj
ministration will bring pressure to bear
on Congress To provide for the retire
ment Of greenbacks and the really in-
terestiny question is, how shall this be
affected? The best way, in the view OF
the Treasury officials, is simply to re-
peat what is known as the Fort bill,
which provides for the reissue OF green
backs after they have been retired,
Treasurer Gnfllin says that had the
Fort bill been out OF the way during the
past wear ut least twenty millions OF
greenbacks would have been retired.
This question is daily becoming more
important, owing to the rapid increase
of the circulation of the National bank
notes, which is now growing at the rate
OF three millions per annum.

s2RAGUE's MUSIC TEACHEI.
He Sues for His Salary.

New YORK, November 26.-The court
room was filled with people to-day when
the suit of George Linck against Mrs.
Kate Sprague was called. Linck was
tutor for Mrs. Sprague's child Willie ut
the time Of the recent troubles at Canon
chet, i'm which Senator Conkling figured,
and sues for S240 salary and expenses
in carrying out his engagement as tutor.
The answer of the defendant to the
complainant sets up that the agreement
with Linck was made in her capacity as
a married woman, and that therefore her
husband is responsible for the debt,
and that Gov. Sprague had full knowl-
edge of the engagement made with
Linck. The case came mp to-day on a
notice of the motion by counsel for Mrs.
Sprague for the counsel for Linck to
show by what means he expects TO
evade the bar of married wOman's acts.
In the course of the argument a letter
was read from Mrs. Sprague to Einck,
To show that she considered him in her
employ, and counsel added that the
Professor made his exit from the Spra-
CUE mansion at the end of a shotgun.
The Judge took the papers and reserved
his decision.

EWING THINKS
That Joel Parker, of New
Jersey, Would Make an Excel
lent President,

New YORK, November 24.-The
Tribune to-day has the following inter-
view with General Ewing:
"What are you Democrats going TO
do in Washington this winter"
"The session preceding the Presi-
dental election is usually occupied with
making candidates and sharpening mp
issues"
"What issues will Democrats devote
themselves to sharpening
1--WE shall have only one, il you nomi-
nate Grant. The third term-we will
need no other issue. On that we Dem
ocrats can all agree"
"IIave you made up your mind as to
whom you want for your candidate?"
Not fully. l thinh, however, Joel
Parker, OF New Jersey, would be an ex-
cellent man. He was a war Governor,
and has q good record. Probably we
shall have to take a candidate from one
OF the metropolitan States"
General Ewing made no allusion TO
Tilden.
"Ii all our party would come up sol
idly To the support OF Judge David
Davis, should regard him as an ex-
ceedingly desirable candidate; hut ! fear
they would not. He has never been a
pronounced Democrat, and his present
position is not clearly defined. How
ever, If YOU nominate Grant, 1t will not
be so important who the Democratic
candidate may be. We shall give you
a lively fight on the third term ques-
ton"
Suppose Grant should not be nom
inated2"
"Oh, think it's already as good as
settled that he will be. He evidently
wants the nomination, and you can't
oct rid of him."

THE CHAMPION DISASTER.
The Cause of It and Whose Fault
Tt Was.

New YORK, November ga dis
patch from Philadelphia says the Board
OF L. S. Steam Vessel Inspectors made
public this morning their conclusions
regarding the Champion-Lady Octavia
collision, on the 9TH inst, off Cape Della
ware, and by which so many perished.
The board. after an examination OF fif-
teen witnesses OF the Champions crew
and passengers and six OF the Lady Oc-
tava's crew, say the disaster was wholly
due to the absence of proper lookout
on the Champion, as the night was
clear, and the mate and boatswaine OF
the Lady Octavia state that the Cham
pion's lights were seen from ten 10 fiji
teen minutes before the collision. The
report further says: We are OF the
opinion that the fault rests entirely with
r. III. Leonard, the first mate Of the
Champion, who had charge, and were il
not for the fact that he is lost, We should
express ourselves in condemnation OF
his actions in more severe terms, as ii is
in evidence that he called the lookout
from his post TO assist in setting the top
sail, not Keeping a lookout himself, or
giving instructions TO the man at the
wheel TO do so, the small number Of the
crew necessitating the 'sistance OF the
mate.

GRAND SCULLING PROJECT
A $1,000 Purse to be Hung Up
by Another Medicine Com
IDany.

SYRACUSE, n. Y. November 26.-It is
probable that the greatest rowing event
that ever occurred will take place on
Onondaga Lake, at Syracuse, July 1,
$780, To-day Col. Il. X. Fuller, fresi-
dent of the ID. X. V. q. Medicine Manu-
featuring Company, made an announce
ment that will undoubtedly bring to-
gether all the noted oarsmen OF the
world. On behalf Ol the company,
OF which he is the substantial
head, he will hang mp a purse OF $1,000
TO be rowed for over 4 tive-mile course
on OnOndaga lake by any first-class oars
men in the World, barring only Court
ney and Hanlan. The Fourth OF July,
1880, is the day set for the race to be
pulled. Col. Fuller has not as yet de-
cided fully upon the details OF the con-
test, beyond his determination to in
quire an entrance fee OF 500 from each
contestant to guarantee the good faith OF
each. This amount will probably be re-
funded to each sculler after he takes the
word eco" The race and all arrange
ments looking TO its success will be un-
der the absolute control of the ID. l.. Y.
VI. CollIdAl WHICH, hOCS lol Ii'I''' "
divide the responsibility of its conduct
with anybody. 1t is expected that the
purse will be sufficient in size to
bring out the worlds champion, Tricket
of Australia; his great rival, LaycOck, also
of Australia; Elliot, Boyd and llawdon
OF England Smith and Ross, OF Canada,
and Eph Morris, Riley, Lee, Johnston,
Plaisted, Davis and Luther OF this
country. Col. Fuller's generous offer
and the sentiment of the Eugishmen
will probably be known within the
next week. No other water but Onon-
daga Lake will be thought Of. The
referee must be the choice OF Col. Fuller,
the design being to obviate as far as
possible all danger of collision between
the scullers.

Alleged Discovery of Republican
Practices.

BANGOR, November 26.-The Wig
will tomorrow state that Bantille, OF the
Republican Committee, has obtained
positive evidence that the Democratic
managers have been secretly substitut-
ing altered and amended election re-
turns contrary to law. The constitution
and laws require that the returns sent
to the Secretary of State by the town
clerk shall be signed and sealed up in an
open town meeting. Mr.. Bantille, the
Hhiq will assert, has evidence that the
clerk of a certain Democratic town in
one of the threatened counties,
forwarded his returns Immediately
after the election in precise ac-
cordance with his record as late
as the second week OF November. This
clerk was informed by other town Off
GERS that a prominent Democrat re-
quested new return to be made, as
there was some trouble with the returns
from that and other Democratic towns.
The clerk, it is asserted, did make a
new return, which was forwarded about
the middle of November, in which he
corrected the errors and supplied the
omissions complained OF, although the
record shows them just as they APP
peared in the original returns.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM
MICHIGAN.
What He Thinks of Things PO-
Iitical, and What He Looks
Like

llAhOs
Washington Post.
A Post reporter called upon ex-Gov.
Baldwin, of Michigan, at the Arlington,
Yesterday afternoon.
"You are the recent appOintee OfGOv.
Crosswell to fill out Senator Chandler's
unexpired term?" remarked the Post, by
way of introducing the conversation.
al have that honor"
"Have you any objections to stating
the real cause OF Mr.. Beaman's rather
remarkable action in declining to accept
the appointment, Governor, II you are
acquainted with it?"
"The alleged cause was the real one.
Mr.. Beaman, who is really a very able
man, highly esteemed in our State, has
been in very ill-health for some years
past. Although / am a neighbor OF his,
Ihad, however, no idea that his physl-
cal weakness was such that he would
decline. He desired to accept, and had
the matter under advisementfo for a week.
Then he came to the conclusion that the
excitement of preparation, the peril at
tending the change of climate, etc,
would have such a deleterious effect
upon him that he felt reluctantly com
PEELED to decline. | was appointed TO
fillthe vacancy, as you known, until the
legislature names by successor"
Senator Chandler was very promi-
nent as stalwart Republican. Will you
adopt similar line in your official con-
duct, Governor"
II am Republican, and shall en-
deavor to do my,duty in the Senate. Mr..
Chandler's action was satisfactory to the
Republicans of Michigan. His death
was profoundly felt in the State, where
he was highly esteemed and appre-
Ciated."
"Who do you think will be the Re
publican candidate for Presidentr
81 can hardly tell. 1t looks something
like Grant"
"Will he he elected if nomnated?"
"Any Republican nominee will be
elected. Although the Republicans of
Michigan cannot be said to have 'crys-
talized for Grant-that is, expressed
desire that he should be the candidate
of the party-they will support him.
lie would be strong candidate in the
State"
Senator Baldwin is benevolent look
ing gentleman, perhaps something over
sixty years of aye. His face expresses
more astuteness than tirmnesS or de-
cision of character. He has shrewd
twinkling eyes, rather irregular features,
and thin white hair and beard. His APP
pearance is more that OF a successful
merchant than lawyer. In conversa-
ton he is polite and speaking
i'm soft, bland voice-and is evidently
willing to part freely with whatever in
formation he possesses.

THE WAR ON LOTTERIES.
Opinion of the Assistant AttOr-
ney-General of the POstOffice
Department.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-Ihe AS
sistant Acknowledgement for the Post
office Department, in reply to an in
quiry from the Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General, has addressed to the latter
the following letter with regard to the
treatment OF lotter correspondence:
WASHINGTON, Nsvember 26.
SHIN reply to your letter of the
20th inst, | have the honor to advise
YOU, first, that lottery letters reaching
the dead letter Office may be returned to
the writer's by mail; second, that post
masters are not justifiable in Withholding
letters to an individual for the sole reason
that such individual is an agent for a
lottery company. The letter must be
addressed 10 the agent as such to justify
its detention, unless it is addressed to a
person or a firm declared by special
order of the Postmaster General to be
fraudulent, in which case, registered
letters are returned to the writers and
the payment of money orders forbidden.
TSigned.1 4. A. FREEMAN,
.AssiSt. Ahy-GcnL. =. 0. Dept.
The Postmaster General has also writ
ten a letter TO General Hazen, on the
same subject, as follows:
WASHINGTON, November 26.
Subsection 1894 of the Revised
Statutes prohibits the carriage in mails
OF letters concerning lotteries. Section
1896 provides that all lottery packets,
or other matter which may he seized for
violation OF the law, shall be returned to
the owner or sender Of same, or other
wise disposed of, as the order of the Post
master General may direct. In order,
therefore, TO carry out the provisions OF
the sections referred TO it is directed
that all letters concerning lotteries,
which may arrive at the dead letter
office, he returned to the writer. If
by inadvertence, mistake or otherwise,
letters supposed to contain lottery mat
ter should come 10 the dead letter office
they should be sent to the office OF
delivery with such directions to the
postmaster as will ensure their prompt
delivery. ID. Nj. KEY,
Postmaster General.
The case oil the lottery company vs.. the
Postmaster General, in which the COM
plainant seeks an injunction to restrain
the enforcement OF the recent order OF
the Postoffice Department with regard
tolottery letters and money orders, came
up in the Supreme Court of the District
to-day. Chief Justice Carter said that
the court had decided, after due reflec-
ton, to remand the case 10 the Equity
Court where the proceedings were ORR
ginally instituted, and where the proper
order would be made. The case would
then, he said, come up regularly in the
court elJdnc, and if the parties interest
ed should desire to carry it to the u. 5.
Supreme Court the District Supreme
Court, in the general term, would expe-
dite it as far as possible.

Archbishop Williams and the Public
Schools

BosroN, November 26.-It is now as
serted that the reaent statement that
Archbishop Williams decision upon
the parochial school question fully sus-
tanned the action OF Father Scully is
substantially incorrect. 1t is claimed
by some OF those present at the Synod
that the substance of the statement OF
the Archbishop was that while he rec.
commended the establishment OF
parochial schools wherever prac-
ticable, he was utterly OPP
posed 10 extreme measures in any
matter connected with them; that un-
der certain circumstances where parents
refused to send their children to these
schools the right OF sacrament might be
temporarily withheld, but whenever a
case Of that nature occurred the Priest
must cause a report of the facts To be
made 10 the Bishop, and he alone had
the power to decide on the matter.
