as unprecedented in the history of the

warranted. This is a very superficial
view of the case supposed. The increase
Of the earnings of this road is unprece-
denied in the railroad history of the
country. It then shows that the earn

was S1,216,OO0, and in 1879, over 1,I52

declared on the stock which is second

ties of which are mostly held here or
have been until lately, makes whatever
concerns the Atchison, Topeka and Santa

Vas Patti Drunk?

Lelvenworth, KS, I'm the Patti
case, to-day, Chss. Carples, merchant,
testified: Have received a musical train
ing from childhood; have sung several
times in New York in italian ard Ger
man opera, was at the Patti concert in
this city; thought Patti "tipsy" when
she first appeared, and was in a worse
condition when she came out the last
time. Several persons sitting near me
remarked the same thing. Still believe
she was "tipsy" that night. A bad cold
would not give a silly cast to the eye or 8
tipsy look to the face. Talked with two
members of the troupe at my store; they
wished me to say nothing about the con-
cert, and said they would be glad when
they got east, so they could leave the
company.
Lie. Spangler, steward ofthe Planters
House, testified that during supper on
the evening of the Patti concert the COM
pany drank a dozen bottles of beer aGd
two and half dozen bottles of claret.
The whole rarty was very boisterous and
acted as if under the influence OF liquor.
Thomas ONeill and Samuel Whitson,
carpenters at the theatre, saw Patti drink
repeatedly from glasses brought into the
theatre, and which they supposed con
tanned liquor. Her actions indicated 10
them that she was intoxicated.

The Sherman Boom.

Chicago, 8.-Inter- Oceans Washing.
ton: Mr. Frazier, of Philadelphia, an
active worker for Secretsry Sherman, was
here to-day. He states that the feeling in
favor of Sherman is growing very rap
idly in Pennsylvania, and the feeling for
Grant, which was almost unanimous at
one time, has subsidized great deal, and
that when the state convention meets,
delegates to the national convention will
not be instructed for Grant. Repub-
licans in largely democratic counties re-
port that it would not be safe TO nomi-
nate Grant, as Germans will not vote for
him, and he doubts il Grant could carry
the state. The people, as mass, are for
Blaine first, Sherman second, and Gran
third. Frazier thinks the Pennsylvania
delegation will vote, as matter of com
pliment, for Cameron, as in the last con-
vention they voted for. Hsrtranft. He
thinks the Grant enthu4asm viii die out
by the tine the Chicago convention
meets, and that the Pennsylvania delega'
ton will then, after casting one vote for
Cameron, cast q solid vote for Sherman.
Senator Cameron laughs at this predic-
ton, and says that as long as Grant is in
the field, the Pennsylvania delegation
will vote for him.

Rio Grande RepuDIic.

New York, S.-There is considerable
talk at the Manhattan and Union Clubs,
within 8 few days, about a formidable
alibuster movement, having for its object
the severance of the Rio Gra3de states of
Mexico from that republic and placing
them as speedily as possible under an in
dependent government, styled the Re-
public of Rio Grsnde. News received
from there yesterday, apparently con-
frming this gossip, creates lively interest.
The San correspondent. this morning,
says there has existed for some years a
secret organization having for its Interior
object the absorption of Mexico by the
United States. The manner in which
this is to be effected is an old one, the
gradual irruption of adventures into the
northern states Of Mexico, Chihuahus,
Sonora, Coahuita, Nueva Leon and Ia
manlipas. Grant, while president, en-
tered into the plot, privately, and favored
part of the programme. The Nicaragua
Canal is but the hemming in of Mexico's
defensive powers on the south, concurrent
with the ostensibly peaceful and indus-
trial move on the north. The Tehuan-
tepec Railway, now being constructed by
Mr.. Dearned, has nothing to do with the
Grant scheme,

GERnANY.

Berlin, S.-A semi-officisl newspaper,
the Post, ssys President Grevy's recep-
ton to diplomatic representatives in
Paris, on New Years Day, has given rise
to conjectures that the German govern
ment, through preliminary enquiries, as
certained the intentions Of the Freycinet
cabinet. We consider that the SUPPOSE
ton as well as the idea that there were
any doubts on the subject arc entirely in
correct. We rather think Prince Hohen-
lobe, German ambassador TO France,
without ssking for instruct ms from
Berlin, expras; ed the belief held by the
German government, that the present
French ministry will continue tae foreign
policy of its predecessors. Such instrEc-
tions would scarcely have been neces-
sary, since the German government
neither had nor will have doubts on the
subject so long as there are no positive
reasons for them. We know, at least,
that a partial change il the French
cabinet has been remarked here as q
necessity of home policy, and not as the
beginning Of new ers in the foreign
policy of France.
A semi-official denial is given to the
intimation that government contemplates
the Introduction of q bill for the taxation
of bourse operations and the reintroduc-
ton Of the brewery tax bill.

HAYES SWEET.
A PeouIa,iug Presidential Pet

New York, S-A Washington special
contains the following story: Major VIM.
E. Sweet, clerk employed in the office
of the frat comptroller, has been detected
in swearing to false and extravagant &C
counts for expenses while travelling in
the service of government. Sweet served
during the war in Hayes Ohio regiment,
was given his present place, a $1,000
clerkship, at the request Of Hayes, and on
account of ability promoted over the
hesds of several clerks, who are his
seniors. Sweet has recently been travel
ing for the department in the south and
on the Pacific slope. Upon presenting
his bills they were audited and paid. One
Of the accounting officers noticing that
Sweets bills were very large. made de-
tailed investigation, and learned that
Sweet had been paid between 5000 and
500 more than he had a just claim
against government for. Upon being
confronted with the evidence of his guilt
Sweet promptly made restitution. In his
defense he urges that in his opinion al
officer ofgovernment should travel in
style BETTING the proud position of the
of the greatest republic on the
globe. Sweet still retains his position in
the department, but it il said he Is to be
removed.
