to be unfair treatment Of the municipal
election returns by the returning officers
of the west and south towns. These off,
GERS have thrown out several precincts, for
what they call gross and essential violence
Of the law, with the result that the returns
50 puri6ed viii elect all the Republican
candidates for town officers Of the south
and west towns, although the face Of the
returns would have elected most Of the
Democratic candidates. A contest viii
probably be made TO test the legality OF
his action. The north town votes are not
yet canvassed.
The Contest for Sergeant-at-Arms.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-In the Senate
Beck argued against the right of q majority
to elect officers at an extra session. The
Democrats would consider the question in
December, but be believed Riddleberger
would not then be q candidate. The Viz
ginia election would then be over. The
Democrats might then tender as a candi-
date for Sergeant-at-Arms q conservative
war Republican, between whom and the
Confederate ~Repudiator tRiddlebergerl
the Republicans might choose. He be-
lieved, however, that the plan would be
hindered by the Republican Senators. He
gave notice that Riddlebergeris promises
in Virginia would remain unfulflled.
Beck's gallant Union soldier candidate for
Sergeant-at-Arms is SAID to be 3 citizen Of
Kansas, and a Republican, but Beck and
his friends decline to give his name, say
ing only that he is a prominent and popu-
lar Republican. Vest says he will nomi-
nate John D.. Stevenson of Illinois, who
was one of Logan's best fighters. Logan
says he is a gallant Union General and a
true Republican.
VIII Teach Railroad lMonopOIies n
Lesson.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Times says:
The success Of the Anti-Monopoly party,
at the recent municipal election in Jersey
City was only partial, but it nevertheless
has much significance. The city in which
this organization had its origin is simply
railroad ridden. 1t is a railroad center,
and the rights Of its citizens are not
weighed at all when the demands Of the
corporations are in the question. 1t is
alleged that the Pennsylvania road pays
no taxes whatever to the Jersey City Treas
ury, while the other railroad corporations
contribute only a fraction of what they
ought to. A correspondent says: There
is a growing feeling among the masses,
not only in Jersey City but also through
out the State, that the corporations have
gone far enough and that it is now high
time to teach them the rights of the peo-
pie. The feeling is shown by the bulk of
the Republican party just as much as it is
by the Anti-Monopolists themselves, and
undoubtedly this movement will have an
influence in the election this F~allland.may
be in elections after that.
Arizona.
New YORK, April 1S.- Congressman
Springer, of Illinois. told a reporter about
Arizona: 1t is a wonderful country, and
one that is not understood by people in the
North. I went through to Arizona on the
first train over the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific routes, and
saw vast prairie land where cattle can feed
and keep fat all the year round. There is
also abundance of timber in many parts.
One of the drawbacks q the section is
want of rivers, but I do not think this will
prevent the settling of the country, be-
cause water can. be found at almost any
point by digging, as the rivers disappear
underground in many places. Tn mines,
undeveloped as they are, show better than
the long-worked lodes Of Colorado and some

agriculture and mining emigration will set
in to such an extent that a new empire will
be opened up.
Resignation of Col. Fred Grant.
CHICAGO, April 1s.-Col. Fred Grant
yesterday resigned from the army, where
his position was First Lieutenant Of the
Fourth Cavalry, and his rank Lieutenant
Colonel on the staff Of a Lieutenant Gen.
eral, for the purpose of entering the en-
ploy Of the Chicago, Texas q Mexican Gen.
trail Railway Company, as Civil Engineer
Of the road. His father-in-law, II. H.
Honore Of Chicago. is also prominently
identified with the road.
A soelalfstic Leader Writes an Inn.
pudent Letter to the President.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Kutz, the So
~cialistic leader Of Chicago, has written an
important letter to President Garfield, in
which he says the President is as much a
despot as the Gear Of Russia; that in all
Republics the people are oppressed by the
rulers, and this is particularly true Of the
United States. This Socialist concludes
his letter with the opinion that President
Garfield ought to be served with q big dose
Of dynamite or nitro-glycerine. The Pres
ident read the letter, and was amused at
its impudence.
The Dead Lock to be Broken.
New York, April 18.-While most Of
the journals affect to-believe that the Sena-
torial deadlock is as far off as ever, the
Herald's Washington correspondent says:
1t is reasonably certain there will be an in
~terruption of some kind to the Senate dead
lock this week. A good many Senators Of
both sides believe public business has been
obstructed long enough, and there will
probably be executive sessions during the
week to consider q number Of nominations.
A New Kind OF Duel.
New YORK, April ia Times Wash
ington special says: The sharp words which
passed between Malone and some Demo-
cratic Senators are not likely to make any
trouble. The days of d~uelling are past in
this country. It is reported that Malone
says he can easily dispose Of all the Demo-
cratic Senators, one BY one, if they will
meet him on the field Of diet, sleep and
other habits Of daily life, that is if they
will eat, sleep and drink as little as he does
and smoke as much. Any challenges look
ing to q contest Of this kind would proba-
bly, be accepted.
The Antt.TreatiHg Law OF wis.

MILWAUKEE, April lS.-In a test case
yesterday to determine the legality Of the
celebrated anti-treating law of Wisconsin,
II was found that the law is imperative,
because of an error in the text Of its sup
posed enactment. The bill as drawn speci-
fies the repeal Of an old law, which was
dropped when the State statutes under
went their recent revision. Judge Mallory
