A Washington dispatch gives much fresh IN
formation about the movements OF the Govern
ment in its efforts to bring the Star Route conspl-
rators to Justice. The Sixth Auditors office, as
has all along been suspected is believed to have
stood in close connection with Brady's opera

counts For convenience in the transaction OF
its business it has quarters in the General foSI
Office Building although it is branch oil the
Treasury Department The whole game OF the
Star Route iobbers could have been blocked
had the Auditor resOlutely refused to pass
their bills for expedited service. His business
was TO protect the interests of the Treasury
against the schemes of contractors, but 1t does

Damtel Webster aud president
Taylor.

The late controversy between the
President and Conkling has brought
up many "reminiscences of past ad-
ministrations, and the best Of these
stories is told of Daniel Webster and
President Taylor. When Taylor was
nominated, Webster was much dis.
pleased and delivered a speech in
which he characterized the nomina-
ton as one not fit to be made. In
order to humiliate the unworthy
Taylor still more. he sent a copy of
the speech to the latter early in the
campaign. Nothing came of it until
after the election when Taylor sent
w ebster the following note:
"MY DEAR SIR II received some
time ago from your hand copy of a
speech you had just delivered, in
which you pronounced the opinion
that my nomination was nomina
ton not fit to be made. ! fully con

gave expression to the sentiment
which 1 myself entertained. But by

partment of State.

cried Hinton; "we will miss the

So saying, he bundled Montaine,

into carriage, and in half an hour
both were standing on the deck Of
the Havre steamer, as it plowed its
way past the sunny uplands of Staten
Island.
Six months after this, a paragraph
to this effect appeared in the New

INDIAN STOICIS!N.
Hoe ChteT GGul Met His Mother
AFTER an Absence Of Sir Years.

A correspondent of the Bismarck
Tribune, writing of the arrival of the
twelve hundred Sioux Indians at Fort
Yates, relates the following incident:
Captain FectO states that his In
dams were very orderly and that no
trouble was experienced on the trip
from beginning to end. Chief Gaul,
a nephew of Sitting Bull. and one of
his lieutenants at the Custer massa-
ere. was ut all times the center of ut.
traction, and although he has been
twice shot, and once pinned to the
ground by two soldiers bayonets he
evinced no fear, and now considers
himself "the white mans friend. ;
Upon arriving ut Yates Gaul was met
by his aged mother and II very affect
ing scene TRANSFERRED that was, of
course, unstudled and natural, and
yet dramatic enough to place upon
the stage.
The. mother of the noted chief.
upon seeing him, ran forward and
placed her head upon his bosom, knelt
at his feet, kissed his hands, and
made many familiar demonstrations
of joy. Gaul, stolid and Indifferent,
spoke not a word, but gathered his
robes about him and walked away rs

THE GRAIN TRADE.
AMnss0l Report Orthe Produce Ec-
change.

N. Y. Dispatch to Chicago Tribune, June
The annual report of the PrOduct
Exchange gives the usual statistic
respecting the grain trade of New
York and other large ports OF thu
country. The statistics, however, are
not very encouraging for the future
, Of this trade here. The shipments
Of New York during 1880 were still
as large as those of Boston, Philadel
phia, and Baltimore combined, but
taking the figures of five years pre-
vious it appears that whereas the
trade of Boston has doubled during
this period and that of Philadelphia
and Baltimore nearly trebled, that OF
New York has increased but Il little
more than eighty per cent. This
although not rs bad showing rs one
familiar with the drawbacks to com
merce here might be led to expect,
is yet full of warnings. At Their
present rate of progress Boston, Pail,
adelphia, and Baltimore will equal
New York in the matter of grain eX-
ports in less than another decade,
unless something is done To make
New York more attractive as ship
ping point. The report says: The
trade and commerce of New York
have been and are increasing, and,
taking these as Il whole, their aggre-
gate in value is about Us large us that
OF all the other parts of the country
taken together. Even in the grain
trade there has been Il very large
gain, but far less than at competing
Atlantic ports. Comparing the re-
ceipts of grain at New York in 1860
with those of 1880, the increase is
3l5 $40 per cent. Comparing the
receipts of the six ports competing
with New York and with each other
in 1850 with those in 1880, the in.
crease is 1851 per cent" Respect
ing the developments of the system
of barge transportation on the Mis-
sissippi River, between st. Louis and
New Orleans, the report says: "With
facilities multiplied it is claimed
that there can be moved from the
towns on the upper Mississippi any
where from 100000 to 1900. 900
bushels per week ut cost. taking
the river and ocean freight from New
Orleans to Liverpool, several cents
per bushel less than the charge for
the same service through the direct
routes eastward via North Atlantic
ports" Speaking of the Welland ca.
nal. it says: IF this route can do
what is claimed it can, the business
remaining of the grain trade for the
railways, the New York Canal, and
the seaboard cities, will be limited TO
the domestic requirements for con
sumption. The export trade for
seven months of the year, in this con
tingency, will be mostly monOpo-
lized by Montreal and New Orleans.
To meet this competition and retain
this export grain trade through this
State there will be positive necessi.
ty of so improving the Erie canal as
to diminish the cost of transportation
through it fully 81 or more per ton.
