Another OmcerGone Astray.
A Washington special TO the St Louis Repu

A Washington special 20 the ST. Louis Repub-
lican says: @f
Another important officer OF the Government
has gone astray The conduct of Theophil us
French, Auditor of Railroad Accounts, or, as he
is sometimes called. United States Commissioner
Of Railroads, in writing letter TO the President
tention 10 recommend that the proceedings
against that Company be discontinued, has been
the subject OF lively comment at the Interior De-
partment and the Attorney Generals Office to-day.
These proceedings were begun at the solicitation
and upon the urgent recommendation Of Mr..
French, who during the last session of Congress
was outspOken and active in his efforts to make it
appear that the central Pacific was guilty of n
great breach OF the law in fulfilling its obl-
cations 20 the Government sinking fund The
publication of the letter to President Stanford
fairly startled the Secretary of the Interior
and the law officers of the Department Of Justice
The letter was written and published, and was
used 10 influence the stock market before French
had even communicated 10 the Department the
result of the California trip and his examination
of the accounts and general condition of the Cen
tral Pacific. The conclusion arrived at to-day is
that French has either fallen into the hands of
the railroad people or has been so f0rgetul of the
RESPONSIBILITY resting upon him to show his
unftness for his position. Some time ago IL was
rumOred that he had written the letter in ques-
ton, and that rumor was used by stock specu-
lators in Wall street, but the law officers of the
Government here pronounce the rumor
founded. They could not believe 1t possible that
French had done such thing. French will be
here next Tuesday and Will have cold recep-
tion. II is generally believed that he will be
bounced.

Some time ago Governor Churchill received a
letter from Mrs. RhOda Peerse, of Conway Coun-
ty, giving the particulars OF a terrible murder
which had been committed In Polk County on
June IS, one year since. The victim was her six
teen-year-old sou, Frank Peerse, and the mother
dwelt on every detail OF the crime pouring forth
her pent-up feelings with words apparently
wrung from a broken heart. In rugged yet strong
language she described a deed of violence with
out parallel in criminal annals. In 1880 she was
living with her son Frank and married daughter.

all. One day party of men went by the cabin
and robbed a turkey-trap, hard by. They were
seen and recognized by the boy, who spoke
OF the occurrence to neighbors. The petty
thieves hearing of this became alarmed, fearing
indictment, and sent a threatening letter warning
the Peerses to leave the country which they did
not do. A systematic persecution against them
was Instituted. their lives being threatened more
than once. Persons in the vicinity were warned
