New YORK, November SO. The Times S
San Francisco correspondent has no doubt
of the election Of General Miller to succeed
Booth He adds: Booths course in the SEN
ate has not increased bis popularity al home
When he was elected great things were ex-
pected Of him. There was no question about
his ability or his brilIiancy. But his Incidence
stood as barrier to his fame. Californians
saw with great Disappointment that in the
great controversy in the Senate over the sink
ing fund bill he allowed nearly all the serious
work to be done by Thurman and others,
contenting himself with one or two speeches.
To-day Booth is regarded by the inhabitants
of California as man of splendid abilities,
but without energy to direct them to a useful
purpose. The name Of Judge Belden, of
San Jose is sometimes mentioned, but he will
not receive more than the complimentary vote
of his delegation.

DENVER, November 29.-That the shoot
ing of Governor Robinson was accidental is
nyw evident from the post mortem examina-
ton, which shows that but one shot was
fired The ball, in its course through the
door, struck a nail, split and carried pieces
of the nail with it, thus causing four wounds
which were supposed to have been caused by
other shots. There had been disagreement
with miners few days ago, which caused
the belief that the first report of a riot and
assassination was true 1t is now known that
there was nothing Of this nature whatever
connected with the affair, and the miners
deeply regret the sad result of the terrible
mistake Of the guard.
Governor Robnson's remains will lie in
state at Leadyille to- morrow, at Denver on
Wednesday, and then be taken to his former
home in Michigan for burial.

WASHINGTON. December lit is under
stood that the chief obstruction in the way OF
the army retiremen,s favored by President
Hayes is the hostility Of Gen. Sherman. lie
does not believe in retiring men who, al
though old, are doing very well, and they
are not so old as staff officers in Europe. Il
appears that there are 81 officers equal to or
above the grade of lieutenant-colonel, who
might be retired under the law as fast as va
cancies occur on the retired list. This would
promote 1875 younger officers who, with their
friends. are urging that the law should be en-
forced. All of the ~ except 8 are staff Of
fees. It is source Of great concern to the
officers whether the President persists in his
desire to keep the retired list full, or General
sher,nan,s policy not to retire the men as
long as il can possibly be avoided. The gen.
eral opinion about the headquarters today
seems to be that compromise will be effect
ed by the retirement of about half dozen,
including Ord, Barnes, Meade and Dun.

secreearyshfp OF ezae Treasury

New YORK, December 2-Tt is stated au-
thoritatively here that Levi p. Morton, Of
New York, will no longer consent to the use
of his name in connection with the Secretary
ship Of the Treasury under Grrfeld. He
has gone back to New York to enter upon
the canvass for the Senatorship.
The HerazNs Washington special says:
Garfield has determined not to give the Sec
retaryship Of the Treasury to any New York
statesman. He explained that the collector
Of the port holds an office paying $4,000
per annum, and through whose hands three
quarters of the customs revenue Is supposed
to pass. The magnitude of this position and
its necessary relation to New Work politics
was such that if the Secretary was also from
New York, it would give to him personal in
f1uence that would be greater, in his opinion,
than the best interest Of the civil service
would warrant.
1t is reported that. t.schuTz, during Garield's
Washington visit, told the President elect
that the retention Of Sherman in the cabinet
is very important to the business interests, as
well as to the future Of the Republican party,
and that the other members of the cabinet

Messrs Stephen Hodgins, Mike Duyall and
J. J. Bowles, the parties who succeeded in
efectipg the capture of Pelkey, the murderer
Of Charles Tacke, called at our office to-day
and informed us of the murder of Henry
Flanagan, which occurred about the first of
October last, at his cabin on the Missouri
river, near Round Butte, and between Fort
Peck and the mouth of the Mussleshell. The
body was discovered by a hunter named
Jack Brown who happened to be in the
neighborhood Of the cabin, and whose sus-
picious of foul play were aroused by the
discovery of traces of blood upon the river
bank. A search followed, which resulted
in finding the body of the murdered man in
an eddy of the river short distance below.
The victim had been struck on the back Of
the head with club OR some blunt instrument,
which had crushed in the skull, and the
iugular vein afterwards cut with Denknife.
An examination Of the premises followed,
and the mark made by skiff which had
landed and numerous tracks OF government
shoes Ia the sand were discovered. Upon
the table in the cabin were the remains OF an
unfinished meal, which was laid for three
persons. The murder is supposed to have
been committed by two soldiers who desert
ed from Fort Assinniboin and passed down
the river in skiff. Flanagan had at the
time about 5000 on his person, which is sup
posed to have been the motive which led 70
the perpetration OF the crime. The murder
ed man is thought to have father living ii
the Bitter Root valley, and il is with the
hope that his friends may be apprised of his
sad fate that the information was given.
