RELATIONS WITH SOUTH AMER.
ICA.
Agents Sent Out.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, lSSl.-The President
has taken decided action in regard to the
Peruvian and Gillian matter. A circular
letter was completed Yesterday at the State
department, to be sent to all of our minis
tiers in South America, setting forth the
desire of the United States to see an honor
able and permanent peace established be-
tween Chill and Peru. Our ministers are
instructed to make known this friendly wish
to the governments which they represent,
and to suggest that all should unite in an
effort to secure an equitable settlement. The
letter is quite long one, and is understood
to cover the whole ground presented to
the United States by the relations be-
tween Chill and Peru. At the same
time it will make clear the real
nature of the instructions which were
given to Generals Hurlbut and Fitzpatrick.
1t has also been deemed best to send two
agents of the United States to Chill and Peru
for the purpose of arranging the misunder-
standings which have been brought about
by the indiscreet actions of our two min
listers. The gentlemen selected for this
purpose are the Hon. William H. Trescott
and Walker Blaine. the third assistant Sec
rotary of State, Mr.. Prescott is well known
in connection with the diplomatic work of the
government, and is a gentleman of skill and
prudence in matters of this kind. Mr.. Walk
er Blaine goes as an officer of the department.
They expect to sail from New York to-mor-
row.

FROM wAsHINcToN..


WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.
The Grand Jury this afternoon brought in
six indictments against what is known as the
Star Route cases, four being directed against
Frederick B. Lilley, ex-deputy auditor for the
Postofice Department and two against Geo.
B. Brott, mail contractor. Bench warrants
were issued for the arrest of the parties. 1t
is said the indictment involved a payment OF
IS ,OOO the bribery of public officer and at
tempt to bride public officer.
Mr.. Lilley, this Afternoon, gave bail in So
900, Mr.. Henry NJ. Baker becoming his sure
ty.
Capt. Howgate.
In the circuit court. today, the counsel for
Capt Howgate asked that the case be taken
up wherein the government attached the
property of the defendant on the ground that
he was an absconding debtor to the govern
ment, and the motion has been filed to dis
solve the attachment. Cook asked that the
case go over as Mr.. Corkhill, the District
Attorney, was engaged otherwise. The
Court then fixed the hearing for next Satur-
day.
Commission Signed.
The commission of the postmaster c. B.
Curtis, of Machias, has been signed by the
President.
Delay Expected.
The impression prevails tonight that the
organization of the House will be consider
ably delayed by the objections to swearing in
of holders of credentials from several south
ern districts and by the threatened contest in
regard to the admission of delegate Cannon
of Utah, 1t is impossible to predict safely
how long any such delays may continue, but
many well informed persons are of the opin
ion that the House will be ready to proceed
to the election of officers early in the after
noon, in which event it is expected the re-
publican nominees will promptly receive the
requisite number majority vote, and the
Presidents message will be sent in before
tomorrow's adjournment.

Soon after the adjournment of the repub-

members lect assembled in the same hall,
and organized their caucus for the ensuing
Congress, BY reeIecting Representative House
of Tennessee, chairman, and Nessrs- Frost
of Missouri, and Welborn of Texas, secre-
taries.
Proctor Knott of Kentucky, then offered
resolution endorsing the declaration of the
democratic national conventions of 1876 and
1850, its supposed object to put the demo-
cratic members on record in favor of the
plank endorsing "a tariff for revenue only,
which if it did not prevent a complimentary
nomination of Speaker Randall, would serve
As a rebuke. The resolution was supported
BY Knox of Kentucky, and Reagan Of Texas,
and opposed by Hammond of Georgia. Nc

Hooker msved to indefinitely postpone the
consideration of the resolution, and the mo-
ton was carried BY a vote OF 81 to A.

RumOrs.

1t is reported that w. II. Trescott, who
was U. S. Commissioner to China. has gone
to Peru, and that Walker Blaine has gone to
Chilli, both on diplomatic mission, but the
State department declines to confirm the re-
port and will communicate nothing on the
subject. 1t is also reported this afternoon
that circular letter has been sent out in
forming the representatives of the United
States in Chill and Peru that it is the earnest
desire of the United States that peace be re-
established between those countries. This
report cannot be confirmed at the State de-
partment. where the utmost reticence con-
corning Chill and Peru is observed. 1t is
generally believed here, however, that both
r ports are correct.
