DIR. BUCKLEY says in the Christian Ad-

Internal machines.
THE exchanges at the Boston clearing
house during March were S12, 600, 900 less

THE New Era speaks of tho New York
Herald as the recognized and official organ
of President Arthur. Where did it get
the news?
The Senate committee on territories has
agreed to report favorably the bill for the
admission of Dakota as state, which was
reconmitted a few days ago.
have opened merchants exchange,
which they have been secretly organizing
for some time past, for mutual benefit and
protection.
CONGREssNAN SCRANTON has caused it
to be proclaimed with plenty of ostenta-
tion that he is for Grow for governor.
Seems that something of the kind was
heard from Quay not long ago. All is
Cameron fish that gets into the Grow net.
THE editor of the Inquirer is generous
man. Gu: of the proceeds Of his pt nsion,
when he gets it, he proposes to endow a
hospital for some of his lawyer friends.
Two dollars month will not 20 far, it is

THERE is some little hope that Virginia
may yet be redeemed from the curse of
Mahoneism. With the aid of three Read

THE Half-Breeds are again hoist by
their own attempt to make it out that Col.

order is now on record in General Garfield's
hand writing, directed to Secretary Win
dom, in about these words: "See about

able to get home on the day they1
were discharged, and who were compelled
by an extension of the term to come back
on the Monday of the week after that for
which they were drawn, the York county
court has decided that they were neither
