A Washington dispatch says


1.-THE Messengers who brought the
electoral vote Of the different States here
have been disappointed as to the amount
Of mileage they expected to receive.
Heretofore ii has been twenty-five cents
per mile each way. In the last appro'
priation bill it was changed to twenty
five cents for one way only. The Mes.

Major thought he had 1t oil right this
time. and would receive $1,000 as his
mileage allowance. which would fI him
all right. He got trusted for q nice suit
OF store clothes. hat, boots. etc.. and
wha. money he could borrow he spent

abou, the Major except his Democracy.
Now he finds himself in Washington cut
down to $3.50. which will only make
him about square on expenditures thus
far. Unless he can manage to doubls

he will have to pawn his clothes for
money to come back on; or he may
have to walk back home. same as h

The situation i'm ireland.

Cincinnati Enquirer.l
DUBLIN, January 27.-The refusal
Of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to
attend the banquet of the lord mayor.
on the I'd of February, has caused con-
siderable bitter feeling here, and is the
subject of very general discussion, The
Dublin Freeman to-day contained an
editorial upon the subject, in Which
it alleged that the real reason of the
refusal was not given in the letter OF
the Duke of Marlborough to the
mayor. 1t claims that the lord lieu
tenant personally sympathizes with
the people of Ireland to such an ex-
tent that, had he attended the ban
quet and permitted himself to make a
speech-as, of course, he would
have been expected to do-he
would not have restrained him
self from giving utterance 10
sentiments necessarily condemnatory
of the policy of his colleagues in the
cabinet respecting Ireland. And 50,
as the most satisfactory way out of his
dilemma, it is urged, he seized upon
the resolution adopted at the Homo
Rule meeting as a preteXt, and de-
clined to attend the banquet. The
Enquirer correspondent is directly in
formed that the above article is based
upon euarely false premises, and that
its statements and suggestions are
altogether incorrect.
As has been already stated, the
banquet has been indefinitely post
poned, and the fund which it was IL
tended to expend will be applied to
the relief of the distressed districts
fhe lord Mayor of Dublin predicts
that within the next three months

Daily reports from all the
suffering districts show that the dis
tress is rapidly increasing, particularly
since the advent of extremely cold
weather, which now prevails through
out the island, greatly aggrayating the
sufferings from hunger. The local
charities are unable to meet even the
most pressing demands, and the relief
from abroad and from the government
is entirely inadequate. The cloud OF
gloom which lowers above this I'M
happy land is daily becoming darker

Rumored withdrawal Of Grant

Special to the New York Herald
WASHINGTON, January 25.-It is
reported here, on what is believed to
be trustworthy authority, that the
personal friends Of the ex- president
in Philadelphia who are nearest to
him state to persons interested that
before the meeting of the Pennsylva
mia convention, ten days hence, an
authoritative declaration will be made
in behalf of the ex-president cOnclu-
sively taking him from the field as a
contestant for the presidential nomi-
nation 1t is given out by persons in
the ex-presiaents confidence that he
proposes to engage in an important
business enterprise, which he prefers
to any attempt to re enter political
life.
Such an authoritative announce
ment, if it should be made, would be
a great relief to the Republican poit
ical managers in Pennsylvania, who
have begun of late to fear that the
third term policy would cause serious
disturbance in the convention and
among the Republicans Of the State.
The convention was called at an un-
usually early date, with the confident
expectation that it would instruct the
Chicago delegation to demand the
denomination Of the ex-president
on the third term policy. When the
call was issued, there was a general
impression that this would be
done without trouble, but in the last
ten days it has become pertain that
tho third term policy lacks popular
strength in the State and that an at
tempt 10 make the convention instruct
the delegation. for it would create
troublesome and dangerous 1issen
sioas. This development has placed
the third term men IN an embarrassing
situation from which such an, an
nouncement by authority as is now re-
ported would happily relieve them.

If Grant waits until he sees there
is no chance for a nomination and
then declines in a patriotic, George
Washington kind Of letter, he will
not get much credit for it. This dodge
of going to Cuba and Mexico just to

when contrasted with his frequent
declarations that he was so anxious o
get back TO Galena and enjoy tie
quiet and comforts Of home.
