Mutual Union ARairs.
New. York, November IA new turn
was taken this forenoon in the Mutual
Union affairs which stops the new pool
ing scheme and creates some excitement
in financial circles. The arrangement,
as made public yesterday. was that the
stockholders had placed majority OF
the stock with Geo. w. Baker of the
lst national bank, Geo. w. Baker and A.
81. Potter, Of Boston, a. trustees for five
years, with full control for voting pur.
poses, but the stock to be deposited with
the Central Trust company of this city.
The wonder was how this could be done
while there was previous pool in which
Baker and Jay Gould were co-trustees Of
the controlling interest, but inner facts
were developed this morning by legal
proceedings before Judge Van Brunt ol
the superior court.

New York. Nov. The Tribune says
that if Parnell is responsible for the writs
of ejectment that have been obtained
against his three tenants, who are be-
hind in their rent, the sooner he retires
to his estate at Avondale to manage it
personally. the quieter time he will have.
Political life will not be pleasant for him,
as his enemies would not ask for better
proof of hypocricy. and even his friends
would have to admit charges of incon-
sistenoy. But probably some enemy has
done this, and the agent is acting with
out orders.

The department of justice denies the
truth of the published statements charg
ing extravaganza in the employment OF
special assistant attorneys, and makes
the following explanations: Under Gen.
eral MaaVeagh's y administration four at.
torneys we're specially employed in the
management Of the star route trials, viz:
Brewster, Bliss, Cook and Gibson. Now
only three, viz: Bliss, Merrick and Kerr.
The services of several detectives have
also been dispensed with. The expense
of the department in connection with
these cases are also reduced in other res
poets. The statement of w. A. Cook
that he is engaged as special counsel IN
the Howgate case is incorrect. That
case was taken from his charge by Attor-
uey General Brewster on the 18th of
June last and turned over to District
Attorney Colkhill.
The annual report of First Assistant
Postmaster-Genera Hatton gives the
number of postoffices in operation, June
80, 1882, as 1921, an increase Of l,7l9
during the the year; 1851 of these Offices
are known as presidential offices, the re-.
mainder, 44.2sO, being filed by appoint
ment of the postmaster-general. The
free delivery system was in operation
during the yearin liz OF the principal
cities, 8.ll5 carriers being employed. The
total appropriation for this service was
$2,226.OO. an increase Of $l25. 900 over the
previous year. The total cost of the
service was $2.623,262, leaving an unex-
pended balance OF $l,737. Gen. Hatton
recommends that the free delivery system
be extended to towns within short dis.
tances of one another which have moi
singly acquired the qualification Of popu
lalien or gross revenue emitting them tc
service, but which have in the aggregate
more than the required population OF
revenue. Returns from all parts of the
union show very gratifying general in
crease in business. The sum necessary
to pay the increased salaries Of post
masters, including 1886 special adjust
ments, amounts to S5.634,0O0. or i8. Y
per cent. more than last year.

Rounds called a halt, ana informed

Mr., Pattison has pursued a dignified,
manly course since his nomination, Civ.
ing the same personal attention to tho
duties Of his Office that he had before
his nomination for governor. lie never
sought the Office for which he is now a
candidate, and his actions since his
nomination show him to be believer
IN the doctrine that the people should
be allowed to make their own choice
from among the candidates in the field.
The honor conferred on him by the
Harrisburg convention did not turn his
head or make him turn his back on the
trust the people Of Philadelphia con.
li1ed TO his care, and the good sense he
has shown since he became the Demo.

TIE Philadelphia Times speaking
of the endorsement of the Grccnback
candidate for governor by the late La.
Dor Convention, intimates than n for
midable revolt from the action Of that
body will be developed at an early
day. There has been no cordial re.
sponsc, says the Times, from the Trade
and Labor organizations to the action
Of the Convention, making n State
nomination in direct opposition to the
proclaimed policy Of the Knights of
Labor. On the contrary, a number
of the most trusted and intelligent
Labor mcH Of this city and elsewhere
are now considering how best they can
extricatc the Knights of Labor from
the false and probably fatal position
they were apparently involved in by
the nomination Of a candidate for
Governor. They have ten votes to
one Of Greenbackcrs, and they see
that they are made to depart from
their declared policy to serve little
faction Of Grcenbackers that has ev.
erythiug to gain aud nothing to lose,
They see, also, that the Cameron
Bosses at orce proclaimed their tri
umph ia the trade and Labor Convep-
ton by forcing State nomination,
and that has intensified the opposition
of the honest Labor people who mean,
first of all, to give no aid, direct or
indirect, TO Boss monopoly. They ac-
cept the declaration of Mr. Chance, Il
delegate from this city, that the par
ticipaiion in politics dates the downfall
of the Knights of Labor, and they
will, at an early day. take positive
steps 10 retrieve the blunder and res.
cue the knights of Labor from the
fate Of all previous Labor organiza-
tions which were dragged into politics.
A formidable revolt IS now inevitable.
aud it will voice with emphasis the
intelligence and integrity of the Labor
people Of Che State.
