Jacob Jehosophat Noah, Secretary Ramsey's
appointment clerk in the war department, is in
peck of trouble and possibly others. The
signing of the commissions of twenty six clerks
on the 9TH of March by Secretary Ramsey, of
the war department, before an official copy of
the law authorizing the appointments was re-
ceived by him, is criticised somewhat severely.
These appointments we're made by Judge Noah,
the appointment clerk, without special regard
to congressional influences, and more particu-
larly. it is charged, to give places to personal
friends while he had an opportunity to do so.
Mr.. Ramsey's course is censured because, it is
claimed, he allowed himself to be used as a
tool by his former private secretary. Secretary
Lincoln refused to permit the twenty-six new
appointees to draw their pay for the short period
of their official career.

The increase of the death roll in New

the vast increase of the population more
than any other single cause. 1t is said the
city is growing almost beyond the power of

A Crime of Sixteen Years Ago Fearful!
Avenged.
Special from Dallas Texas

Information is received of a most sensational
tragedy on the north fork of the Red river last
Friday, which brought vengeance for crime
committed sixteen years ago. 1t appears that a
man named Peter Cook, formerly from Missis-
sippi, with three drunken associates visited the
house of Toney Pine, disguised as United
States cavalrymen in 1866, robbed him of ST.
600, ravished lady relative and fled. Pho
saw neither of the party again until last Friday,
when he and TIVE herders came upon Cook
among some freighters. Calling him by name
and with terrible oaths, Pine fired four balls
into Cooks body, killing him before he could
draw his pistol The parties present arrested
Pine but as he satisfied them that his statement
regarding Cooks conduct sixteen years ago WAS
true, and he being able to produce newspaper
accounts to verify it. they released him.
