a Fine Patronage.

Washington, March 20. = Colonel
Dudley. commissioner of pensions, has
addressed a select committee on reform
in the civil service regarding 800 ad-
ditional pensions to clerks asked by him
in order to settle the enormous number
Of pension claims now on file. He
says IL his request for increased num-
Der is granted the clerks should be Sc
lected, other things being nearly equal,
from ex-union soldiers, their sons,
widows or daughters; and other things
being equal or nearly SO, republicans
should be preferred, but they should be
divided amongst the states and terri
tories in proportion to the vote each
cast to the whole vote Of the country,
taking into consideration the distribu-
ton of those now employed and in his
judgment the republican vote should
be the basis, inasmuch as this is a re-
publican administration.

st. Louis, March &c. p. Hun
tington In an interview regarding rail-
road affairs said there will be no change
in the policy of the st. Louis & San
Francisco railroad. The railroad will
be extended IS originally designated.
He stated that he intends bringing the
railroad from Eagle Pass, Texas, to the
City Of Mexico, and believes it will be
the first n completed, as the route
selected offers less engineering Difficult
ties and passes through a more produc-
tive country with a population greater
than any other. The Galveston, Har-
risburg & San Antonio road will be
placed in first class condition,
thoroughly ballasted and the present
iron rails replaced by steel rails. He
will also have the line completed from
San Francisco to New Orleans and
Galveston about September. Mr.. Hun
tington expressed the opinion that
ownership in railroads means control
and that attempts to regulate freights
by legislative action will lead to disas-
ter. He favors laws to prevent freight
discrimination, and said it was always
his policy to have uniform rates proper
ly classified.

RELIEF for the sufferers.

st. Louis, March 25.-About $1,000
In money and a large amount Of provis-
ions and clothing have been raised here
for the benefit of the overflow sufferers
on the Mississippi river.
Capt. Lee, in charge Of the govern
ment relief expedition up the Sunflower
and Yazoo rivers, estimates the loss Of
hogs as total in the Yazoo counties and
that the loss of cattle will be fully rs
per cent. The fencing, with many of
the smaller houses have been destroyed.
lie recommends the distribution Of ra-
tions to be continued at least two weeks
at J%ohnsonville and three weeks in the
lower Yazoo counties, by which time,
he thinks, work will be begun in the
fields, and then the people can probably
take care of themselves. Seventy
thousand rations a week, it is believed,
will be needed until the water subsidies
so that the people can get to work.

Gen. Grants denial that he had eyer
conversed with him concerning Garfield

to a Post Dispatch reporter most posi-
lively his former statements. Mr..
Nichol says that there is nothing re-
markable in the fact that Grant does
not remember, as he. was n of the
hundreds who call on him and have a
few moments talk, but he himself
would not be likely to forget the only
call and conversation he had with
Grant. He called on him in his room
in the Fifth Avenue noJeI, aG ueurraI
Garfeld's request and gave him a letter
from Garfield. After reading the letter
the conversation ensued, and then
Grant made the remarks about Garfield
and Rosecrans which have already been
published. Mr.. Nichol concluded by
stating that he made the assertions
with the full realization of the fact that
he might be called upon to support
them,

he desired to file a motion to set aside

Col. Ingersoll read a motion which was
based upon the following grounds:
That the Jury had no legal authority to
find said indictment; that the district
attorney had nc authority to draw said
indictment and exhibit it to the grand
Jury, because George b. Corkbill, dis

it is generally conceded that Blaine has
made a strong statement Of his posi-
tion, but whether it was any occasion
for his making the statement, is a ques-
ton with many of his friends. 1t is
admitted that the eastern commercial
interests, as a general thing, will accept
Blaine's views in this regard. Promi-
nent politicians in speaking of the
matter, assert that there are political
considerations quite as weighty as any
commercial interests. The adminlstra-
tion will be called upon to fully consid-
er the claims of both before these COM
plications are arranged in America.
1t is reported that Chaffee does not

Gov. John l.. Routt. Congressman

Our new minister to China, who will

well, seem to think that the bill is sim
ply an advertisement to induce China
men to emigrate to this country.

LARAMIE CITY, March %.
The trial Of Pierronnet for the muir,
der of Graves, which has been exciting
theme of conversation in this city dur.
ing the past week was brought to a
close this evening. The case was given
to the jury at half past nine O'Clock,
and they were out but 10 minutes when
they announced a verdict; and return
ing, rendered a verdict of not guilty.
This verdict has been expected by
many since the defense began to take
form, more especially to-day.
Briefly, the defense claim that the
fatal shot was an accidental dIschage
during a struggle for possession of the
weapon In which the victim was the
aggressor.

THE CHINESE BILL.
A Probability That President Arthur
Will Veto 1t.
A Very Inefficient and Defective Piece
OF Legislation.


New York, March 25.-The friends
of the president it as
their belief that he will veto the
Chinese bill In its present shape, and
endeavor to force congress to accept a
restriction of ten years. In case 1t
should become a law, doubts as to its
efficacy are already being expressed.
Colby, one of the employees of the
house, and who has spent some time in
China, called attention to an easy way
for Cinnamon to avoid the restriction
placed upon their immigration to the
United States. He said Hong Kong is
in a British colony, and large num-
bers Of Chinese go there aud become
n~aturalized. Mongolians wishing to
come to this country can go to Hong
Kong and become British subjects, and
then come here without violating this
prohibitory law, and 1 understand that
Six Companies are fully aware of this
fact, and have made arrangements with
British companies. which were previ-
ously interested in the coolie trade to
import Cinnamon into Hong Kong,
have them naturalized there and in due
season send them in large numbers to
the United States. In addition to this
there is also an opening for coolie i'm
portations through Mexico and across
the American border. The secretary
of the Chinese legation will have an
interview with the president early next
week, when he will present his views of
the government of China on the sub
ject. The Chinese minister at WASH
ington says he has not yet determined,
whether in case the president approves
the bill he will transfer the embassy to
Spain, but things he would not. He
says hat under the bill ''some ten
thousand Cinnamon in Cuba, and
twenty thousand in Central America
and Mexico would be forced to remain,
because they could not go home with
out stopping at San Francisco. When
1t Is remembered that Chinese religious
belief has considerable to de with their
desire to go home on certain occasions,
oNbs hOhO WHICH, oCtut luclc ID /
no little embarrassment pending under
the bill to Chinese, and danger to the
American embassy in China.
Some Of the friends of the Chinese
bill think that because Gen. Grant is a
guest of the white house, his influence
will be used in favor of the veto. Grant
was much courted by the Chinese gov
eminent when in China, and he is I'M
derstood to be opposed to some features
Of the bill. The state department
authorities pronounce the law a viola
tlon Of the treaty, and it is evident if
their voice is heard, the president will
veto the bill. The action of the execu-
tive, however, is likely to be controlled
by political considerations. Statements
are made in the press that the railroad
lobby was very active in attempts to
defeat the Chinese bill, and that the Six
Companies are conspicuous in their eff
orts in lobby. Any one who chooses to
examine the negative vote upon the
bill will readily conclude that the accu-
alton that any OF those votes were OBJ
tanned by corrupt influences must be
~groundless. The list is composed of
men who are above suspicion.
