THE CHANGES IN THE CABINET.


U.euSGroN. April 6-The President sent the
t,ra'rin, nominations to the Senate to-day
ucnrv NJ Teller, of Colorado, to be Secretary oi
the Interior. -. l. -
william +. Chandler, Of New-Hampshire to be
Secretary of the Navy.
William II. Hunt. OF Louisiana, to be Envoy TX
.raorl,parv and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States to Russia
sometime after the nominations had been received
tbe Senate went into executive session, and that Oh
Senator Teller was taken up on the motion OF 0on-
ator Hill. of Colorado, Mr.. Tellers colleague anu
confrmed.in accordance with the usual custom wheh
the names of Senators are sent III. Inc Other hoHh
nations were referred to the appropriate committees
The remembrance of the fact that, when Mt
Chandler was nominated by President Oarheiu lor
solieitor-General, he was defeated through COM
b;natioa between Senator Don Cameron ana the
democrats has naturally aroused some little spccu-
lo,ion as TO whether his confirmation would he
on,osed this time also. The opposition OF the Dem
ocrats then was political that of Senator Cameron
and Attorney General MacVeagh was personal.
There is no doubt, however, that Mr. Chandler VIII
now he confirmed While II Is predicted that a num-
Der of the Democratic Senators Will vote against
him. il is believed that sufficient proportion ol
them will see the proprlety OF allowing the lreSi
dent the choice Of his own advisers to put MS con-
frmation beyond any doubt In fact inasmuch as ms
confirmation must be considered certain. II Will be
strange if by the time the vote comes TO betaken any
considerable number of Democratic Senators shall
take such an ungraciOus course. 1t Is well under
stood that Senator Cameron will make no opposition,
? These nominations have been so long expected
Nat public discussion of them has really come TO
an end and they are received almost without com
ment. The relations of Mr. Blame and Mr. Chan
dler have caused good deal of speculation. most
of it foolish, with regard to the effect Mr. Chan
dler's aupointment to the Cabinet might have upon
them. No one here who knows Mr.. Chandler and
knows hsuncompromisn and sturdy character, will
suppose for moment that he will be different man
after he has entered the Cabinet from what ne was
before His friendship with Mr. Blaine Is as strong as
ever as Mr. Chandler took pans to show by accom-
pa g the Maine leader to the hall of the House
OF REPRESENTATIVES the day of tie memorial ora
tion upon Garfield. Mr.. Chandler Will be The same
independent and straightforward Republican in the
Cabinet as he has always been outside of II, and his
sole ambition Will continue to be TO do what he can
for the whole Republican party.

CUSTER,S LAST BATTLE.
An Interview with Sebastian Beck, Sit.
ting BULBS Captive.
From the Rochester Democrat

we hOcneeper DomOcra6
The case of Sebastian Beck, whose career
among the. Sioux Indians, has been noted in this
Journal has been fully investigated at the county
poor Office by Overseer McGonegal. During the
recOunting Of his wanderings, the old man gave
reporter from this journal q clearer insight
into the battle Of the Little Big Horn" than
he had before. Beck, who had been captive
among the Sioux for eight years, participated
In that battle. He recounted the details of the
murderous charge upon Custer, in his broken
English. in a manner that was interesting,
even to those who were familiar with the
slaughter of the gallant General and his band.
He said that upon the night of the charge Sit
ting Bull expected Custer and had massed
all his forces and had band Of 5000 war
riors of which he was one. The plan Of their
battle was as follows: The-1ndians fenced in
q large corral with saplings, and within
built fires. Upon the saplings they hung their
blankets, and within they fixed billets Of wood,
to represent themselves az seated about the
fires. They then went into the mountains sur
rounding the spot and waited until Custer and
his company should be attracted to the trap they
had devised. They were successful, for the gem
eral saw the light, reconnOitered. and thought
his chance had come. He opened fire upon the
Indians. This was the signal. With one fell
swOop 8, 600 painted devils rushed down upon
him from the mountain sides. In q moment the
little band of 300 men were surrounded, and
the unequaled battle was commenced Beck
said that Custer showed no fear but rode into
the fight with eyes and saber flashing, and never
raised it but that he left upon some redskins
face his bloody AMI ragged-edged trademark.
TX" which so many of his victims in the late
war knew so well. One by one his men fell
around him, and at last he stood alone among
them battling with his trusty saber in his re-
naming right hand. But at last he too fell,
pierced by seven shots. Beck said that his fight
was terrible in it's destructiveness Fourteen
of those Indians who entered the fray paid for
1t with their lives, and their cold, copper-hued
faces lay turned to the morning sun next day,
with those Of the 300 brave soldiers who fol-
lowed the brave Custer into his last fight. This
is the story of the old captive of the Sioux, who
claims he was there and saw that intrepid officer
die. His last words were: 81 am alone; have
done my best the boys are all gone and will

Why She Wants Her Marriage An
nulled.
From the Albany Argus May %.
1t is seldom that bill introduced into the
legislature has within it the key to romance,
but such one is that presented by Assembly
man Farrar, Of Onondaga, providing that the
marriage Of Daniel Walrath to Emma A. SAWYER
be declared null and void. The story Of the
marriage which is thus sought to be set aside is
strange one. Mrs. Walrath lived at Chitte-
mango. and she and the man to whom she is
welded were schoOlmates and playfellows. As
they grew older they kept company with each
other to some extent although Mrs. Sawyer OBJ
jected to her daughter seeing much of Walrath
One evening he called upon the girl when she
was alone, and without any preamble invited
her to walk to Minister Twins house to be mar
ried. Miss Sawyer demurred at first, but, pleased
with the romantic aspect Of the affair, at length
consented, and the marriage was solemnized a
few minutes afterward. On the return from the
minister's house Walrath related his plans for
the future to his wife, and when the couple had
reached the gate of the brides home he babe her
goodbye, after telling her that she had better
not say anything about the affair for while,
and that he would not be able to see her again
for few days, az he was going to Syracuse.
From that day to this she has never seen her
husband nor heard from him directly. Walrath
was man OF quiet, studious habits, while his
wife is an attractive but retiring woman of
twenty-One or twenty-five years Of age who
now lives at West Troy. The truthfulness of
her story cannot be doubted She cannot OBJ
tain a full and complete divorce in the courts
because Of lack of grounds ON which to base
an action, and 80 she appeals to the legislature.

LecIky ON America.

The American people. though in general un-
bounded believers in progress, are accustomed,
through kind Of curious modesty, to do them
selves q great injustice, By the extravaganza
It has almost become q commonplace that the
great nation which in our own day has shown
such an admira1is combination of courage, de-
votion and humanity in It's gigantic o;T!! war,
and which, since that time, has SO signally fall
sined the predictions Of its enemies. and put 10
shame all the nations Of Europe by it's unparal-
feled efforts In paying of its national debt. is of
far lower type than its ancestors at the time
Of the War OF Independence. This belief an
pears to be essentially false. The nobility and
beauty ofthe character of Washington can hardly.
indeed, be surpassed. Several Of the other
leaders OF the revolution were men Of ability and
public spirit. and few armies have ever shown a
nobler self-devoti0n than that which remained
with Washington through the dreary winter
at Valley Forge. But the army that bore these
snnerings was very small one, and the gene
ral aspect OF the American people during the
contest was far from heroic or eublfma = E,,0.

Electric Light Speculation.
From the Pail NJ all Gazstta.

From the Pail NJ all Gazette.
Yesterday the stock market was very excited
over the speculation in electric light companies
shares, and the aspect Of things looked very
much like the approach Of a collapse The four
pound shares Of the Anglo-Amefican Brush
Light Company were quoted as high az es8 a
price, 1t need hardly BIO said, that they would
not have reached upon their merits nor alto
gether because of the success with which the
company's numerous offshoots have been
foated. The extreme price Is the outcome of a
certain amount Of selling for the fall All the
current week men have been disposed to ego
bears" Of a few OF these shares, because they
had got to such premium, and yesterday those
unfortunate to have sold in limited market an
article OF which there was no free supply were
Representatives. Is no better word for en-
pressing the plight a man Is in who is forced by
holders Of stock to cancel his speculative sale
by repurchase at their price: As the market
Is not large one, and as the present company
must lay hold ola deal Of money by it's sales Of
rights" and concessions one way or another.
the price of these shares may keep up when
the squeezing process Is at an end; but the less
the public has to do with them now the better.
for at best reaction can only be postponed.
