ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, April 6.-The po-
lice authorities here believe they have
at last captured old Bender, the
Kansas butcher. The arrest was
made last Tuesday afternoon, but
the police have kept the afairsecret.
The circumstances of the arrest was
as follows: Herman III. Green. a
German, who resides in this city,
was formerly private in the Sixth
United States Infantry, and in 1871
was stationed at Usage Station, Kan
sas, seven miles from which John
Bender and family resided. He
saw Bender several times every
week, as the latter brought his vege-
tables to camp to sell. and knew him
well. Last Monday he saw three
men on the river in North St Louis,
one of whom he declared 10 be
John Bender. The police were in
formed and the men were arrested.
Two of them gave the names Of Au-
gust Kloots and Chas. Hammond.
The man supposed to be Bender
gave his name as John Baelis. His
two companions stated that they
lived in Usage county, Missouri,
and they had come down the river,
intending to 60 to Arkansss. They
met an old man who called himself
"Baelis," a few weeks ago, and he
wanted to accompany them, to
which they finally consented.
Kloots and Hammond were re-
leased, and 'Baelis" has been held
in confinement since. Green is o
man of good characters and antece-
dents, and the police believe his
statement. Further developments
are ex pected. .94eia aiE- 3s

BEFORE going out of Office the
late Auditor General Schell made
up an account against the Standard
Oil Company for back taxes amount
ing to s3,000,0O, and suit was
brought by the Attorney General in
the Court of Dauphin county for
that sum. The case has just been
tried before Judge Simonton, and
under his construction of the law q
verdict has been rendered for the
Commonwealth for the sum of $780,
600. From thrse million to thirty
thousand dollars is . big drop, but
the Judge, held that the company
could only be taxed on SO much Of
its capital stock as was represented
by it's property and business in this
State, and not upon the dividends Of
its whole capital Stock. Hence the
small sum recovered. This may be
sound Law, but it is rough justice for
The State from whence all the mate

A Rare Privilege Granted to Ameri-

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 5.-The
Sultan to-day granted Gen. Wallace
and Mr.. Phelps, the United States
Ministers to Turkey and Austria,
respectively, permission-now very
rarely granted-to inspect the impe-
rial treasury. Messrs. Wallace and
Phelps were surprised at the amount
of treasure in the vaults and the
great number of precious stones
displayed. There were forty Off
Gals in attendance, who opened the
locks with many formalities.
A Constantinople dispatch says:
"Negotiations continue forthe grant
ing Of concession for a railway to
Bagdad TO the American company,
with which Mr.. Phelps is connect
ed, 1t is stated that the Khedive of
Egypt will appoint Col. Long gov
ernor of Soudan."

The Republican primary elections

solid delegation to the State Conven-
ton in favor of General Beaver for
Governor. William Henry Rawle
was badly defeated as . candidate
for Supreme Judge, q majority Of
the delegation elected being in favor
of Benjamin Carroll Brewster. A

of Major Brown, Of Pittsburgh, fol

drawing from the movement. He
says that he went into it last year
because he believed the "bosses I"

mined the nomination of General
Baily, but now as the Independents
have absolutely deserted the Re-
publican party and entered into a
cQmbination which viii, if success

THE House Committee on Elec.
tions, with the exception of two
Democrats, has decided the Lynch
Chalmers contested case by report.
ing that Mr.. Lynch is entitled to a
seat in Congress from the "Shoe-
string District of Mississippi. Mr..
Lynch is one of the ablest men in
public life, and Mr.. Chalmers was
the rebel leader at the Fort Pillow
massacre. At the last election
Lynch had an overwhelming major
ity of the votes cast. but was coolly
counted out by Chalmers friends.
There never was a more audacious
case Of political swindling, and
many of the Democrats in Congress
believe SO.

father.

KNOXVILLE. April 3.-This morn
ing about 3 o'clock, seven miles east
of Knoxville, VIM. Nance murdered
his three year old stepdaughter, by
crushing the child's skull against
the floor. The child was in bed
with its mother and her husband,
and became fretful during the night.
Nance got out of patience, jumped
up. seized the child IN its hair, and
beat its head on the floor, until its
skull was crushed to pieces. The
screams Of the mother brought two
neighbors to the house, and they
found Nance with the child in his
arms. He laid it down, and started
off toward the barn. One of the
men followed him, and ordered him
to stop. Nance refused, and said he
would kill the first man who attempt
ed to follow further. He made his
escape, but the officers are on his
track, who will catch him, as he is
club-footed and travels slowly.

Impending Indian Troubles.

2 WASHINGTON, April ga letter
from General Pope, dated Fort
Leavenworth, Kas., April 3, says:
/ leave tomorrow for Reno. The
situatioil is plain. The Indians
cannot live on the reduced beef ra-
ton. There are 10000 cattle graz
ing not far from there. Rather than
starve they will do as we do-take
by force what cattle are needed to
keep them and their families from
starving. This will provoke Indian
hostilities, which will lead, God
knows where. The only legal act
that the military can do is to make
them starve peaceably, A most in
human service. Some department
Of the Government should assume
the responsibility of sending few
thousand dollars for beef rather
than have an Indian outbreak on
large scale. There is no game to
subsist Indians in this Indian Ter
ritorv.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR has vetoed the
Chinese bill. He concurs with Con-
gress in the opinion that the coming
of Chinese laborers into the United
States or their residence here affects
our interests and endangers good
order throughout the country. and
is deeply convinced of the necessity
of some legislation on this subject !;
but he believes that to absolutely
prohibit Chinese immigration for
twenty years is q breach of our Ma
tional faith and our treaty obliga-
tions, and therefore returns the bill
without his signature. He recon-
mends the fixing of a shorter period,
and intimates that he win approve q
bill embodying his suggestions. II
is probable that a measure of this
kind will be passed.
This first veto of President Arthur
is approved by all intelligent and
reasonable citizens, Except in the
Pacific States) for the principles
upon which it is based. In that
portion of our country they want
free trade with China, while at the
same time they demand that Chinese
immigration shall be restricted. By
our treaty with China our right of
free trade with that country is guar
anteed, while it is stipulated that
we may place reasonable restrictions
upon immigration, but the law just
vetoed absolutely prohibited immi-
grafton for twenty years. That was
a most unreasonable restriction, and
would most certainly have led to the
destruction of our entire trade with
China, which is q most valuable one,
especially to California. The Presi-
dents veto has prevented the con-
sumation of piece Of disastrous
folly mainly perpetrated to crafty
the hoodlums of the Pacific coast
and it proves moreover, that back
bone is not wanting in the present
Chief Executive of the Nation.
