WASHINGTON, June 3-Rumors Of addi-
tional removals and fresh disclosures flew
fast at the Postofice Department to-day,
but the investigating committee Gin room 59),
continued to sit with closed doors. No new
developments were communicated to the
public. Auditor McGreW and Deputy Audi
tor Lillen were still at their offices this after
noon, but will be relieved tomorrow. Re-
ferring to the rumor that the Attorney-Gen-
eral had obtained evidence Of such nature
as to compromise McGrew, and that the
Presidents summary demand for his resigna-
ton was based upon it, .McGreW insists
that he has done nothing wrong. He says
be audited accounts Of mail contractors on
certificates of the Second Assistant Post
master General and argues that without haV-
ing access to Brady's books he could not
know II fraudulent contracts were certified
to him. All evidence thus far obtained for
prosecution Of the star route sWindlers is now
in the hands of special assistant Attorney
General Coon. The evidence is said to be
Of the most damaging nature, clearly prov
ing conspiracy and involving upwards Of
twenty individuals. It is claimed that SO far
as Dorsey is concerned, evidence has been
furnished against him by those with whom
he had dealings and with whom he failed to
act sqnarely. Although the ex-senator has

New YORK, June There is great ex-

was effected. When the horses were first
seen at the top of the hill it was difficult TO
determine from the grand stand who had the
advantage, but coming down the hill, Pere-
CINE who was on the inside, had fair lead
and his friends began to shout "Peregine

colors were seen pressing forward ON the

WASHINGTON dispatches describe some
OF the points in the dispute between the
Government and the Central Pacific Rail-
way. They are interesting as showing how
devoid Of any sentiment of equity the man
ayers of this great corporation are in their
dealings with the people of the country.
They avail themselves of every opportunity
to avoid the payment of the claims which
are unquestionably Just, whatever technical
defense there may be against them When
corporation of this sort is seeking aid
from Congress, there is no language fervid
enough to express the patriotic intentions Of
the promoters. One would suppose that
they were engaged in work of pure phi
lanthropy, in which they sought only to
make themselves agents for the general ben
efiting Of the country. But when they
have their hands in the Treasury, they treat
the representatives Of the people with the
utmost contempt. barring the doors against
them as a sWindler would against Sheriff's
posse. It is to be hoped that the Govern
ment will exhaust its powers to bring these
petted and spoiled benefciaries OF the public
to decent sense Of their obligations.

grams recently published, showing how petit
tions for expediating routes were made up in
the far west, it is believed the A.torney-Gen-
eral has certified copies which will be used
against HIM. Acquaintances OF Dorsey say
that although he still maintains his flesh, he
is decidedly nervous. 1t has been announced
that the ex-senator has gone to live in Mexi-
co. 1t is known that be has left this city,
but there are many who believe he has not
headed for his cattle ranch.
There are many rumors afloat about the
Treasury Department relative to the probable
outcome of the investigation. In the Custo-
dians office it is stated that one of the officials
interested informed the investigating COM
mittee that persons higher in authority than
he were responsible for all that had been
done for him. The impression prevails that
several removals will be recommended

THERE are rumors ahoat thata portion Of
the cabinet will resign, and the New York
Sun sees It in the certain portent Of an effort
by Garfield to slide back into the good
graces Of the stalwart wing By giving Blaine
his conge. It is probable, with the public
patronage the President has at his disposal,
he may succeed in placating a portion Of it
by judicious disposition of the Offices and
ingenious hedging. But should he turn
back after the stand he has already taken, it
would indicate degree of weakness and
double-dealing that would disgust the honest

"Details Of the AfTray Between sAae EaoE5cs
and E1easanery of the CosaEay GRara.

The following are the details Of the affray
between the people and the police in the
county Glare yesterday Eighty policemen
proceeded to Bodyke for the purpose OF as
sisting in the eviction OF tenant. (Dodyke
is a small village between Seriff and Tula,
where some military are at present garri-
soned) The police, while proceeding in
small bodies to the place of assembly, were
attacked in detail by the people. An ambu-
lance wagon conveyed the police from En-
mis-. They were under command of coun-
ty inspector. On the way from Ennis hive
Of bees were let loose, and the stings of the
insects caused the horses to become unman-
ageable. One maddened beast dashed itself
against the wagon and was instantly killed.
Several mounted orderlies were at ouce de-
spatched to Tulla for assistance, while in the
mean time the police in united force pro-
ceeded to the house where the eviction was
to take place. 1t was situated on hill, and
as they assembled toward it they were at
tackled by armed men, who, from the cover
Of fences on each side of the road, poured
CALLING fire into the ranks Of the police. The
latter Immediately deployed in skirmishing
line and returned the fire with effect, killing
one man and wounding several. The police
succeeded in reaching the house and broke
in the front door, The rioters rushed
through the back door and several were ar
rested. Some of those who attacked the po-
lice from behind the fences were also taken.
The honse was taken possession Of and the
family inhabiting it turned out. While re-
turning with the prisoners the police were
attacked and fired upon a second time, one

THERE are steps being taken among The
stockmen Of Choteau County for the forma.
ton Of q Stock Growers Association, to be
subordinate to the general Territorial organ
ization. This should meet with universal ap.
probation from stockmen, for the benefits
they may derive from such association are SO
many and great that they will not be appre-
ciated until it is fairly in operation, and they
become apparent by actual trial. An organ
ization Of this kind to be properly effective
must have larger scope than can be afforded
By local society, for the interests sought to
be enhanced by association are so great that
purely local one would only partially serve
the purpose.
There are many reasons Of necessity for
organization in country like Montana,
where the stock is turned out almost as free
from any artificial oversight as the herds of
buffalo that preceded them, and the necessi-

A RUSSIAN paper remarks upon the great

| a RUSSIAN paper remarks upon the great
amount of money which the Nihilists seem
to have at their disposal, which it says is ap-
parenty as limitless as that at the disposal of
an organized government The assumption
appears to be borne out by facts which their
recent attempts have brought to light.
| Generals, admirals, seamen, soldiers, mobiles
and peasants, all are brought into requisition
and their services paid for. Whence this
| mysterious terror draws the vast sums it uses
in the prosecution of its schemes cannot
even be imagined. Does the government of
Russia herself supply it through the, corrup-
ton Of the innumerable officials who handle
it, or have all the socialist elements of the
world concentrated their energies upon the
destruction Of this pow erful empire, and a
possible chance of getting into their own
hands the great power controlled by the Rus
sian government? Nothing in the history
Of the world has had the mystery and power
Of the Nihilist movement, and the silent gath
erings of the Jacobites who concocted the
French revolution, and who accomplished
SO much toward the destruction of the old
French monarchy dWindle into insignidcance
when compared with its prototype Of the
nineteenth century, that has reduced a
mighty autocracy to childish i'm
potency. This thing called socialism
is fraught with the direst consequen-
ces to the generation which is now entering
upon an existence. Forty years ago there
was no organization Of any magnitude il the

profound statesman who made a speech in
/ the Reichstag recently, faVoring the establish
ment Of cooperative manufacturing institu-
tions with capital supplied by the govern
ment, and it is the same statesman whose
enunciated policy is to re-establish the old
order Of universal property under the suzer-
ainty Of an aristocratic chieftainship or an
| autocratic chieftainship. That his efforts
are in the direction of the universal and in
evitable tendency of the age which is max
ing communism possible and necessary by
the general leveling Influence of competition,
there can be no doubt; but that he will sue
ceed, OR that his efforts are with the SYM
pathy Of the masses, which universal school
systems are also reducing TO common level
OF culture and form of expression, we do not
believe. Bismarck is deep enough toperceive
that the current cannot be stopped, and he is
shreWdlY endeavoring to divert it. But the
age OF fealty to chieftainship not Of popu-
lar creation has passed, we think, and the
efforts of the German statesman to recreate
it will fail. How heavily the heel of
military force has pressed upon agrarianism
and all the isms growing out of socialism,
we all know, and we also know how futile
the efforts to hold it down has been, for in
the space OF forty years it has grown from
nothing, (at least SO far as its manifestation
is concerned, the feudal or communal
principles never having been entirely eradi-
cated), to the rampant and almost militant
factor we see it in Europe to-day, with the
lea7en working in America too, but on soil
not prepared for it. With this force dorni
nant in one of the great powers, as it is like
" to be in Russia who can forsee the con-
sequences on Europe and the world. AS 8
torce it would be as intense and aggressive
as that which in France a century ago awoke
and carried its principles and its power TO the
capitals of Europe, and destroyed the politi-
cal creations of a thousand years

IT is now urged against ConKling that he
is seeking to throw the choice for the New
York senatorsbip over for another Legisla-
ture, and is asking for support from the
Democrats. The proud Conkling, through
his splenetic disposition, and his personal
egotlsm, at last finds himself driven to the
pltiabe extremity Of asking support from
the party he has affected to despise. and from
the men whom he has maligned, and sees
his oyeTtures treated with coolness border
ing on contempt. Il IS very doubtful II the
Democracy Will have anything to do with
him, even if it were so disposed. Conkling is
brilliant man and has shown his acumen
in many Well-fought tilt on the stump and
in the halls Of the National Legislature. He
has welded power in his party superior to
any President since the death Of Lincoln.
But all his brilliancv and all his power was
concentrated upon official patronage, and he
has made patronage the corner stone of
his influence. When he was threatened
with Robertson's nomination, he recognized
that the foundations of bis power were
threatened, and he must succeed in over
throwing him or witness his influence grad
uallY contract into what would involve from
an ordinary Senatorial position and he then
took the silly step which has thrown him al
together out of his patronage influence and
has found that was the only influence he
possessed. Like Grant, the exciting days of
power and victory had robbed him of his
Judgment, and like Grant, he has fallen into
the error of believing his influences depended
upon his personality instead Of his perqui-
sites. He has builded upon sspatronage,"
and patronage is beyond his power to give.
The storm has bereft him of influence,
and left him to be reViled by all who will
leave him to seek favor Of those who have
contributed to his downfall.
