Garffeld'S Washington Residence.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-Ohio republicans in
the city last evening appointed VIM. Law
renee, M. G.. Foot, T. G. Campbell, E. G..
Ford, and G. A. Boynton committee to
consider the advisability of purchasing
FROM the Garfield estate the residence of the
late president, on Thirteenth and streets, to
be used as state headquarters, and report a
plan for the consummation of such purchase.
Prof. Fl. G. Spencer said when he was in
Cleveland few days ago, Mrs. Garfield had
expressed desire to sell this property, but
felt a disinclination to sell it to strangers,
and suggested that Ohio citizens in Washing
ton might feel inclined to purchase it and
convert it into state headquarters. Her late
husband valued the dwelling at at least
$4,000, but she thought Sis, 900 would now
sale being effected, she would place the IL
brary, in the east wing of the mouse, in ex-
actly the same condition as when occupied
by Gen. Garfield as his study, while he was
representative in congress.
MAsoN's CASE.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-The judge advocate
general to-day submitted to the secretary OF
war his report on the petition for the release
of Sergeant Mason on the ground that he is
illegally confined. Gen. Swain merely re-
views from the military law stand point the
legal points raised in the petition, and makes
no recommendation. He adheres strictly to
the views expressed in his original report on
this case, that the proceedings of the court
martial were irregular and illegal. The case
will not be reported to the president until af-
ter the return of Secretary Lincoln. Secre-
tary Chandler is acting as secretary OF war.
REPUBLICAN POLICY IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-Republican sena-
tors in caucus decided to continue the con-
sideration of the bill for the reduction of in
ternal taxes during the next few days, and
then be guided by circumstances in regard
to the advisability of bringing forward the
remaining appropriation bills. This decision
was based upon the hope, that the tax bill
may perhaps be brought to the point of pas
sage within the next few days, as general de-
bate upon it appears now to be nearly ex-
hausted. The caucus took no action on ad-
journment. 1t seemed to be the general i'm
preston that congress will adjourn at the
end of the month. -
THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-In the senate work
was resumed on the bill reducing internal
revenue taxation, the discussion being con-
fined principally to the tax on tobacco.
In the house, resolutions in the Virginia
and Maine contested cases, declaring Cahill
and Reed, the sitting members, entitled to
their seats, were adopted. The case OF
Smalls vs.. Tillman, South Carolina, was
taken up, but not until the democrats had
long blocked business by fillibustering.

A Mathematical Calculation j.

A man travelling in Montana writes as
follows: "One hunter told me that in a
certain locality near Powder river a per-
son might walk ON carcasses for twenty
rods without stepping to the. ground. It
lis estimated that during the fall of 81,
and winter of '82 -82, 100000 buffalo hides
were taken in Montana and Dakota alone.
Probably 10000 more buffalo were
wounded and afterwards died that were
wholly lost. Estimating that each ami
NAL would dress 200 pounds OF as nice
meat as one ever ate, we find that 60,300,-
600 pounds of meat was left to rot in
Montana and Dakota last year." The
above demands little mathem matical cal.
culation. AS long as there are buffalo
roaming over the prairie, just so sure will
there be Indians. Now, suppose there
are 100000 buffalo yet alive, and that
there is an average Of one Indian after
every 10000 buffalo, then there would be
1900 Ind lans in the field. Then supposing
that in their perambulations one out OF
every 100 Indian "kills his white man."
This would take from the world twenty
souls. The Bible says that human soul
is worth more than the whole world.
Say that it is worth just as much. On a
rough estimate the world is worth, if sold
under the hammer, 800, 0,563, ,492, 1852.
Twenty souls are therefore worth
$&Q11 1868, ,654, ,91660; difference OF
$2,Of1 ,26S, ,454, ,916.60 in favor of extermin-
ating the buffalo. $685.

A Fast Colt,

CHICAGO, July 19.-The most interesting
event of to-day's races was the effort the
colt Phil Thompson to beat 2:19M for 81 800,
and $500 extra to beat 2:171141-- three trials.
On the first trial he broke at the first turn,
and did not go round. > At the second at
tempt he broke again and did the mile in
1854. In the third trial he trotted without
breaking, but would do no better than 2:23115.
G. II. Raymond, of New York, his owner,
who was present to see him trot, stated that
on Thursday last he showed a;mile in 2:13.

The Dead Wife Of Abraham Lincoln. !.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 19.-By the suspen-
sion of business, both public and private, and
a general attendance at the funeral of Mrs.
Lincoln, the citizens to-day testified their re-
spect for the relict of the late president,
Abraham Lincoln. The services were held
in the First Presbyterian church, which was
crowded with people, and the streets in the
neighborhood were blocked with a throng
unable to gain admittance. Gov. Cullom,
Judge S. FL. Treat, Gen. Jno. A. McClernand,
the Hon. Milton Hay, Col. John Williams,
the Hon. s. II. Jones, the Hon. James c..
Conkling, and Capt. John S. Bradford acted
as pallbearers. The altar was completely
covered with handsome flowers and Grape.
The state officials attended in body. Sec
retary Lincoln and members of the family
and relatives and near friends came just be-
hind the remains, followed by the Lincoln
Guard of Honor. The services were brief,
consisting of music by special choir, prayer
by the Revs. R. 0. Post and T. A. Parker,
and sermon by the Rev. j. A. Reed. The
arrangements were simple, and there was no
attempt at display.

country shows that any schemes of
that kind would be extremely unpopular.
AS to our government interfering in the ques-
ton of the boundary between Mexico and
Guatemala, I am sure there need not be any
anxiety by Mexico. Mexico and Guatemala
should agree between themselves to refer any
question between them to the United States
as arbitrator, as Portugal and England did
in regard to conflicting claims to territory on
the east coast of Africa. Of course our
government would hear the state
ments of both parties and give it's
Judgment in the matter referred. Even then
I suppose the United States would do no
more than use her good Offices to have the
contending parties accept her decision, 1t
either should feel inclined to decline the de-
cision. I,of course, am not authorized to
say word for the administration, but l am
certain that know the sentiment Of the
country on the question of annexation. 1t
the good Offices Of the United States could be
used effectively to induce the Central Anaeri-
can republics to consolidate into one,F1 have
no doubt but it would so. But then the re-
quest would have to come from all of them.
Certainly the United States would not at
tempt to coerce or consolidate at the instance
of the president Of one state. The most that
would likely be done would be to inquire
through our representatives to those countries
as to the feeling of the people and officials
on the subject Of consolidation. Very truly
and respectfully yours,

TERMS CASH.

NEwPAPER PosTAGE.-Uncle Tim
othy Howe, PostGlaster.General, pro.
poses to take the postage off of news
papers and magazines, and to carry
them all free in the mails. Under
the present law newspapers are carried
free in the counties 10 which they are
printed and Mr.. Howe's idea is to
extend this system tc the entire peri
odical press.
Now, this would be a convenient
arrangement for US, since it would
save to The Sun from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, which we now have
to pay Oh account of postage; but we
cannot see the justice Of it. The
Post Office Department has never yet
paid its running expenses. There is
always deficit, which has to be
made up from money which the peo-
pie have provided for other uses. It
all comes upon the taxpayers at last
and ifall newspapers and periodicals.
should be carried free, somebody
would have to pay for it. To Illus
trate the point, we do not think it
would be right to charge our s20,000a a
year of postage to the general ex-
peuses of the whole country. The
present system Of carrying newspa-
pers gratis in the counties where
they are printed has never seemed to
Us fair one. We do not think It
would be just to extend it and to IN
crease the levy upon the taxpayers
which its extension would render
necessary. We dare say Mr. HoWe,s
proposition may be very we'll thought
of in some quarters; but We are un-
able to give it our appreciation.
