Two Foreign Attaches and q Young
Lady i'm Trouble.

WASHINGTON, June 25.--Society is agi-
tated here over the development Of a scaa-
dal involving one attache Of the French
Legation, one attache of the Spanish Lee
CATION, and Young lady Of high social
standing. One of the foreigners is the
Secretary Of Legation. These two young
foreigners, according to the story, attend
ed a brilliant reception or evening party
Of Washington during the latter part Of
the social season. They paid special atten-
ton to the lady spoken of, and managed
to engage her at tho supper table after all
the other guests had left the supper room.
They piled the young lady with wine un-
til she was we'll under it, influence, and
then induced her to accompany them up
stairs to a private dressing-room, where
the three remained some time. The Young
men spoke of the matter subsequently, at
the club, and from this the fact got out.
They were members of the Metropolitan
Club, but have been cut entirely by the
club because of their conduct. The young
lady's family found out the secret and
have taken her from the city. There is
great indignation here, and both attaches
Of these legations will undoubtedly have
to leave. 1t is probable that they will be
promptly dismissed from their positions.
The young lady's name is suppressed, be-
cause of the standingof the family and the
desire to protect her as far as possible.

what r. to be Done with Guitteau.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE District At
torney says that nothing can be done in
Guitteau's case, till the result of the PYesi-
dents wound is known. Guitteau's pa
pers written by himself, contain a
full detailed history Of the crime from its
inception. They will be made pubic
eventually. They are true recitals [ be-
lieve. am beset by people naturally GU
rious to know all about facts, and it is
proper to say that there are no startling
revelations in the papers. The assassna-
ton was simply coidblooded attempt at
murder by man who knew what he was
doing, and the consequences that followed.
[ have no question that he is rational
and sane. | will say in addition, that
think it cruel, considering the feyered state
of the public mind on this subject and the
horror with which every man regards the
assassin, that any mans name should be
mentioned in connection with him. He is
an egotistical and presuming, dishonest
man, attempting to borrow of people and
claiming acquaintance with persons whom
he only knew by face, going to them and
speaking to them; speaking Of persons as
his friends with whom he had nc acquain-
tance at all; attempting to obtain money
by lepresenting himself as a man of great
political influence both here and in New
York. 10 mention the name Of citizens
in connection with him at this time is i'm
proper and unjust. While everybody who
has known anything about this man at
all, has been perfectly willing to detail to
me his entire relations with Guitteau, still
there is scarcely one Of them but has re-
quested his name to be kept from the
public.

The President raised his eyes and saw
clutched in the students hands a bunch Of
field daisies. The lily fingers of the un-
dergraduate could scarcely compass the
big bunch of stems. He was looked upon
by the more robust students as an imita-
tor of the modern English aesthetics.

on the big bunch of field daisies.

Archer, the English jockey who rode
Iroquois for Mr.. Iorillard, is person to
be envied. He is the companion Of lords,
and earns more than a prime minister.
His regular fees are $25 if he wins, $15 if
he loses, and $40 for a trial. This, how
ever, does not tell the story Of his earn
ings, for he receives presents of taornous
value, like gold watches, diamond rings,
riding horses, dog carts, yachts, suits of
clothes, cases Of champagne, etc. Mr..
LoriIlard gave him 80 900 for winning the
Derby, and Mr.. keene gave Fordham
800 for coming in first at the grand
prix. Archer's earnings in 1876 are re-
ported to have reached 100000, He is a
perfect demigod on the subject of horses.
Whenever he moves a crowd of open
mouthed admirers follow him. His ser
vices are intrigued for by the owners of
horses, and his opinion of his horse earn
estly solicited by his patron. The papers
chronicle his movements, and the nobility
are honored by receiving his visiting
cards. When he goes down to the races
he rides in first-class carriage, and, on
the whole, is what our English cousins

New Trunk Zines.

New York, June 25.--The multiplica-
ton OF trunk railroad lines from New
York to the west goes on so fast that they
can hardly be counted. The latest we
have heard of is to he called the New
York. Susqnehanna and Western, and is
to consist Of the recently consolidated

THE WAR IN PASSENGER RATES.
There are no indications of I, cessation
of the war in passenger rates for New
York business from the west, of which
mention was made week ago in these
dispatches. It has been carried on dur
ing the last week on the basis heretofore
described, with the average rate about $l5.
The competition is very lively, however,
of cuts considerably below the figure. The
uncertainty in freight rates on western
business is hardly greater than that on
passengers, and the history of contests
among the trunk lines has been that when
once agents announce openly that they
are willing to compete with their rivals,
the price falls very rapidly. There is no
saying how soon the war will get into this
stage, for reports from the west say that
there is no attempt at concealment OF the
fact that the schedule has been departed
from by all the trunk lines.

Court Yesterday The bill filed by the
complainant sets forth that the defendant
is q trespasser and encroaches upon the
lands of the complainant and that the de-
fcndant hurried on its work for the pur-
pose of preventing the complainant from
occupying and enjoying its land grant.
The complainant therefore asks the Court
to award to it at a just and equitable val
uation all the lines of railroad, rolling
stock, improvements, ETC., in the Terrific
ry OF New Mexico, owned and operated
by the defendant The answer Of the de-
tendant sets forth that the complainant has
not proceeded with the construction of its
road within the time prescribed by Con-
gress, and furthermore denies that the
grant constitutes a franchise. The de
fendant expresses a willingness to pay the
complainant $4,000, which, it says, is more
than the actual value OF the land taken.
