himself a little accordingly. But on
the whole it may be sail that at the

very little outward notice OF What was

For the REPUBLICAN,,

NEssRs. EDITORS Il wish to inquire
through your paper why the Street
Commissioner pays no more attention to
the needed improvement began some
time ago on Buttonwood street between
Ninth and Taylor streets? The gutter
on the easterly side of the street is in a
very bad condition, and ! suppose he
has not seen the condition of II lately.
BY the order of some one l suppose
loads of dirt have been dumped III the
square, blocking the passage of the
water. Ii the Board OF Health would
see it they could have no hesitation in
declaring it nuisance. If the wintry
weather which is near at hand should
prove severe there would be nothing to
prevent great damage to property.

ARTHUR AND MACVEAGM.

ton Not Yet Accented.

A special despatch from Washington
to the Sun says: "It can be stated with
the III most confidence that the President
has not accepted the resignation of A.

option does not undergo change, he
does not, for the present, at least, Intend
to accept IT.. The President cannot COM
pei Mr.. MacNeigh to perform the duties
of his Office, but for reasons, any Que Of
which is sufficient, and will be so deem.
ed by the country, he considers that
Mr. MacNeigh owes it 10 bJtb Of them
to remain where he is. Mr., MacNeigh
has good reason to feel embarrassed an

the last few days are such ~ to inert a@e
the embarrassment. Yet it is consider.
ed that the Prs sideHt Is entirely ln,Ii-
fed in insisting hat he snail remain in
the Ga binet ul.til the star route caS's
are disposed Of and the Guiteau trial is
cnded.
II is understood tha. after the ,h ,ot
ing of President Garfield Mr. Mac.
Veaeh was persuaded into the belief
that Guiteau's S act was the result OF IA
conspiracy, and that.there were eeveral
parties 10 it. He instituted an inNest-
CATION through the detectives OF the
Department OF Justice and others sps-
rially empioy ed and it l4 said Il large
portion of the contingent fund of the
department was suuandtrrd in the ct-
fort to work ont this theory. Friends
of the President intimate that the in

Tho Northern Pacific Railroad
Div VlOen0,

The regular meeting of tho directors
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany at New York on Thursday was an
unusually long one. The most inter
esting business transacted was the ref
erence to the finance committee OF the
question Of a dividend on the preferred
stock. That committee WAS given full
power as to the amount Of payment. 1t
Is understood that the management
does not favor the payment Of a divi
dend Immediately, although there are
funds on hand that might he used for
that purpose and the present business
and prospects of the company seem to
insure the second dividend. The more
conservatives policy will doubtless be
pursued Of outstanding the resources of
the company until such time as the

extent Thursday morning with the

much longer time. At the stables of

are rs many as one hundred horses SUI

of the first have SO many laid up that
many Of the cars have been drawn of.
1T is said that tho Market street cor

Fast Driving,

George He'll, a young man who
drives a brewery wagon for Hartman

for fast and reckless driving. The case
was called up for hearing last night
before the Mayor, but the case was
postponed until this evening on ac.
count of number Of witnesses for the
defense being absent. Mr. He'll says
that one of the horses is fractiOus

that he was unable to check him un.

There are some parties over the bridge

evening as the 9.20 train was passing
that point, stone was thrown, broke a
window in the car, and bravely missed

Oh the Delaware" Professor Keen IN

many points of deep historical impor-

and life Of the earliest settlers. The
Swedish settlement on the Delaware,
was one OF the earliest and mosr ilnpOr-

instructive part Of our history and was
the beginning Of city, aud mlny pr

learned Professor Questions as to the
make up Of the Swedish expeditions,

proportion ofClasses and callings in lite;
their personal and religious social
statues in the Fathcrland and here;
their ideas, maxims aid principles OF
Government, how far they rctained
Swedish customs Of models of living;
and what changes was wrought upon

surrounded them i'll the new world. All
these questions have no douot passed

General wrote a letter to Mr.. Brady at the
direction of the President demanding his

There are very ugly rumors atOat touching

with the contractors. One OF these j. (and
il is not denied at the Post Office Depart

When Col. James took hold Of the Post
Office Department he began at once an
investigation of the star contracts. He has
not vet completed this work, but has gone
far enough to convince himself that great
frauds and abuses existed. j was TINS
knowledge that induced the Postmaster

point. which is to believed to be rotten and

They start at a given place and run no.

pensation on one route which was exploit
ed" was increased from $4,000 to S2SO,OOO.

ln Important case Decided.

A dispatch was received in Baltimore last
evening from Richmond announcing that
the Virginia Court of Appeals had rendered
a decision in the case of the Merchants
Bank of Baltimore William T. Biedlcr and
Others vs.. William Campbell and Others,
involving the ownership of the celebrated
Luray caves property, in Page county, Va,
in favor ef the Merchants Bank and other
appellants. The suit grew out of the sale
o the cave tract, which belonged to ;. ,.
Buraker. a bankrupt, and its purchase by
VIM. Campbell and others for $4S4, but for
which an upset bid was afterwards offered,
but not entertained. the cave having been
discovered betV-eeH the tisse of sale and Il G
offering of the upset bid. The Merchants
Bank, Biedlcr and other creditors brought
suit for the recovery of the property in the
Circuit Court of Page coHnty, and after ela>
borate argument Judge Bird decided the
case in favor of Campbell and others, the
purchasers. From this decision an appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court of Appeals
Of Virginia. which has now reversed the
