WASHINGTON, March ll.-Itis now stated
quite positively that Edmunds has recon.
sidered his first determination in the mat.
ter of the Supreme Court Judgeship and
may yet accept the position. The friends
OF the New York candidates for the office
are 80 earnest in their attempt to induce
the President to appoint the man theycon.
slider best fitted ior the place that tue
Presidentwould consider the acceptance Of
Edmunds as offering Ghappy issue out Of
the whole matter. The CHIEF reason lead
ing Edmunds TO hesitate, Is the serious
illness ofhis daughter, aud the necessity OF
his taking her abroad does notimpress him
as strongly as 1t did. 1t is Just possible
that he may etaccept. A Senator who Is
very intimate with him, remarked tonight,
that while Edmunds in doubtful mood
his tendency was toward acceptance OF the
position.
To-day at 1880 o'clock, Miss Kate NJ.
Armstrong, indicted for conspiracy and
perjury in the straw bond cases, was called
into Court by Mr.. Charles Pelham. Miss
Armstrong was attired in velvet skirt, gray
coat trimmed with black velvet, and a
black bonnet trimmed with plum.colored
ribbon, and as she stood in front Of the
Clerks desk she attracted much attention.
Mr.. Edwin Devlin was offered Us her bail
in $1,000, and being examined by the
Court, and stating that he had property
sufficient, as also wife and six children,
the Court accepted him. Miss Armstrong
was the notorious Boone's cook and straw:
bidder.

ton Iron Company, has laid before the

believes will have a amost important bearing
upon the equestiop Of National defense.

enger train and instantly killed. Ills wife
was standing ut the station and witnessed
the accident which cost her husband his
life. Two trains were passing, and it is
supposed that he did not notice the one
following him. His head was almost
severed from his body. The scene which
cnsued, when the wife reached the mangled
remains Of her husband, was very affecting
and heart rending in the extreme.
At Connolly, Hood & Co.'s fire clay
works, at Toronto, yesterday afternoon,
Patrick McAiulen was struck on the head
by bucket falling from the mouth of the
shalt, sustaining injuries from the effects OF
which he died shortly afterwards.
The cold blooded murder committed at
Gould's Tunnel yesterday morning adds
another to the list of crimes now on record
in this county. Five murders have been
committed during the past year.
Two men employed at Gould's
tunnel, named John NTcAyoy and
Michael DIonahan got into an alterca.
tion, which terminated in Monahan stabbing
McAvoy, from the effects of which he died
in few minutes. Monahan ran away and
up to this writing has not been arrested.
His home is in st. Louis, and it is supposed
that he has gone in that direction. A re-
ward Of fifty dollars was offered to-day for
his arrest. The remains of SIcAvoy were
brought to this city to-day, and after post
mortem examination, the body was inter,
red in the Union cemetery.

WASHINGTON, March PA friend. Of
Garaeld's in speaking Of the lately pub.
lished letter Of the dead President, said to.
day: "ThO truth Of the matter Is that
during tho entire war Seward and Stanton
aimed to run the whole scheme Of the war
from Washington. They encouraged let.
tens from the younger officers and the free
criticism Of all military movements. They
were jealous themselves Of the prominence
OF any officer in the field, and managed to
have every one who sought any promin.
ence removed.
Gen. Garaeld's criticisms Of the Chica.
maugua campaign were given with his
usual frankness OF the movements in which
hehimselt took part, and were not aimed
against any particular general or com.
mander. They wero as much criticism
upon Stanton as Rosecrans. Rosecran's re.
moval was Of piece with the plan that re.
suited in dozen other removals. It emf.
mated in the Cabinet, and GarReld's letter
had nothing to do with it OF this, Mir.
Dana, who was Assistant Secretary Of War
at that time, assures us, as there is reason
for the belief that much of the trouble to
Rosecrans thatisnow being shouldered onto
Garfield came entirely from the War De.
partment, and was part Of the peculiar
policy which marked santon's administra.

IRON wORKERS' sTRTKE ENDED.
Conference and Compromise OF th,
Homestead DIaIeuIfIex


PITTsBURoH, Pa, March 1.-THE threat.
ened strike in eight Of our rolling mills,
which was to have taken place on Mon.
day, has been averted, and the diff.
culties existing between the iron workers
and manufacturers since the first of jan
uary amicably adjusted through the
efforts OF Compromise Committee, The
lockout at Homestead Bessemer Steel
Works has also been adjusted. and
on next Tuesday the Union men will re.
sumo work. The conference was held this
afternoon, and both sides seemed willing 10
do whatever was necessary to effect an
amicable settlement. The Amalgamated
Association, however, appears to have
gained the victory, as almost every point
demanded by them was acceded by the
manufacturers. The Bessemer Company
withdrew from the agreement which
they wanted their employees to sign, the
clauses relating 10 the reduction OF wages
and the one prohibiting Union men
from working in the mill. They insisted,
however, upon retaining number OF non.
union men in their employ, and this was
conceded them by the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. No more trouble is ANTICIPATED,
and work in the mills will go on as usual.
The deputy sheriHs, to the number Of fifty,
are still on duty at Homestead, but they
will be discharged from further service OF,
Monday. No trouble has occurred there
since the inCipient riot last week, and the
village has once more resumed its wonted

writes to the TImes that in 1854, being in
yited by prominent gentleman Of this
city to be present ut private reception in
honor Of General Garfield, he was struck
by the high praise accorded by Garfield to
General Rosecrans. From a conversation
he had with Garfield, he found that he ne,
garded Roseorans as one OF the most skill
tul Of Generals, and as one OF the most
worthy Of men. His commendation was
earnest, and left no grounds for doubt as
to its sincerity. The Mayor intimates that
he regards the recently published letter At.

Rosecrans, Is forgery,

Special Dispatch to the IntClllgencer.
WASHINGTON, DC, March l2.-There is
strong inclination to criticise the severe
sentence passed upon Sergeant John Mason,
the would-be executioner OF Guiteau, but
it is generally recognized here as Just from
a military point Of view. Said promi-
nent military authority tonight: military
discipline will not reco gnize the existence
of sentiment in the actions Of a soldier.
From military point Of view, the attack
of Mason was cold.bIooded, wanton
and murderous, and it was in that
light only that the court-martial could
look at the olense. 1t must be conceded
that the court itself has shown an ad.
mirable regard for discipline in casting
aside the sentiment Of feeling in the case
and dealing with the culprit purely accord
ing to the regulations of war. OF course it
is hoped that the President will interfere
in the case and tighten the sentence, as he
would be borne out by public sentiment in
doing so. But to the court-martial nothing
but praise is due for its action in the case"
