THE PRESIDENTS TACTICS.
Mr.. Arthur Making a Quiet but Adroit
Canvass for denomination.

Cincinnati AeHlS-JOUrRdI.
President Arthur is playing his hand
well in the great game for the Presiden-
tiaI stakes. He is making a quiet but
adrOit canvass for the Republican nomi-
nation, with apparently excellent pros
poets of making it go. The Republi-
can situation is favorable tOhis ambition.
There is not another prominent man in
the party 50 entirely free from embarrass-
ing personal quarrels. Either Logan.
Blaine. Cameron or COnkling would have
the bitterest opposition within the party
ranks to overcome to possess the coveted
prize. and the nomination of any one of
them would be the herald of certain Re
publican disaster. Benny Harrison is
out Of the race. and, indeed, has never at
any time been seriously thought of for the
nomination outside of a few visionary and
emotional persons, who have persuaded
themselves that he might deVeIOD great
strength because of his relation to old
TippecanOe. Young Lincoln has been
talked of by those who place undue i'm
portance upon name. But the proof
that there is nothing lii that idea is
afforded by the treatment which Grant
has received since he lent himself
to the scheme of the third termers.
There is no greater name in the later his
tory Of the United States than that of
Grant, and the man who made it great is
still living and in full possession of
vigorous mental and physical health
Yet there is probably no one Of the eager
aspirants for the Republican nomination
that would be worse beaten than Grant
The people are not near so silly and SEN
timental as many of the 'sleaders."
Neither Harrison, Grant ROr Lincoln will
have the shadow of a chance for the nom-
inatiOn, and the negative character of |
Arthur's administration really makes |
him TIE strongest candidate i'm the field. |
Personally ne IS most agreeable gentle |
man and captiyates all who come in CON
tact with him by his cORrsnous and we'll |
bred manners. He is an adroit uoIiticaI !
manager. with thorough KNOWLEDGE of (;
men. The ticket he is working for and |
making great headway for is this: For
President, Chester A. Arthur. Of New
York: for Vice-President, Walter o.
Gresham, Of Indiana. He told a friend |
Yesterday that in his opinion New York |
and Indiana were as much the pivotal /
States now as they were in 1880, and that |
the party that carried them both would
elect the President. Being asked what
effec. Democratic victory in Ohio would
have ON he contest Of 1884. he replied
that the loss OF Ohio would not be fatal
10 Republican chances. he said the Re
publicaas. With the proper Hiie;d Of ticket,
would certainly wEest North Carolina and !
Maryland from the Democrats, and
probably Louisiana and Florida also

Mexicans Sack the Consulate at Monte
rey and Beat the Attache.
GALVESTON, July 1S.-A special from
Laredo says that DR.. Campbell, the
American Consul at Monterey, arrived in
Laredo on the 18th instant, leaving the
Consulate IN charge of Rev. Mr.. Shaw
Yesterday dispatches were received ad-
dressed officially to Consul Campbell,
notifying him that on Monday night the
American COnsuPs Office was entered
by a mob of MeXicans and that
Mr.. Shaw was attacked and beaten
nearly to death. The furniture and pa
pers belonging to the Consul were de-
strOyed. The information has created
profound sensation at Laredo. Citizens
deplOre the rupture between the two gov
ernments, but consider the insult so bold
that the United States must resent it.
An employe of the Mexican National
Railway who arrived last night says that
Rev. Mr.. Shaw, after being beaten sense
less, revived sufficiently to crawl to one
of the public hotels and give an account
of the outrage, but in a few moments
again became insensible and at last re-
ports was still unconscious.

PARIS, July 1S.-The report made by
NJ. de Lesseps at the meeting here yester-
day of the Panama canal shareholders
says that the cooperation of the Ameri-
can contractors has dissipated the preju-
dice existing in certain centres of the
United States against his company con-
structing the canal. The sentiment of
equity prevailing among the Americans
caused them to recognize that those who
have undertaken the great work of build
ing canal across the isthmus of Panama
have no object in view but the removal of
material obstacle to beneficial inter-
course

the Ministry. even if the canal agreement
is withdrawn.
At special meeting to-day of the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce, a resolution
was adopted declaring that the question
OF the construction of a parallel Suez

A Circular of Instructions Issued TO
POstmasters

POstmasters.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A circular
was issued to-day from the office of the
Third Assistant Postmaster General, Off
cially notifying the Postmasters through
out the United States of the reduction in
postage rates, which is to take effect on
the lst of October, and directing them to
make preparation for it. The Postmas-
ters are notified that it is desirable to
have as small stock of the
present three cent postage stamps
and stamped envelopes as possible on
hand when the reduction of rates goes
into effect, and they are accordingly di-
rected to limit the acquisitions for stamps
and envelopes of this denomination to
such quantities as upon a careful esti-
mate they may deem sufficient to last
until the first of October. They are also
instructed to take all available means,
without incurring any expense, to
call the public attention to the coming
reduction, so that purchasers may not
accumulate an unnecessary supply of
three cent stamps and envelopes. The
circular announces that the department
will be ready to issue the two cent stamps
of the new design on the fifteenth of Sep
tember, but that these stamps and en-
yelopes must not be placed on sale or
used bv POstmasters before October l.

ARTHURs WESTERN TOUR.
No Extra Expense to be SaddIed on the
Taxpayer.

w WASHINGTON, July 1S.-It is denied on
the highest authority that President Ar
thurs trip to Yellowstone Valley will
cause any expense to the government. 1t
is also specifically denied that telegraph
lines will be erected which will cost thou
sands of dollars and that 1S0 horses are
being provided for the party, to be
paid for with public funds.
The fact of the Presidents being a
member of the party will not
add single dollar to the expenses of the
trip. 1t is not to be pleasure party, got
ten up for the benefit of the President, but
an oIhclal exploration party, and the
PRESIDENT is to accompany it as an invited
guest. The exploration would be made
TINS year III any event, regardless of
whether the President accompanied the
party or not. 1t is a custom to send ont
one or more parties each year to make an
exploration for the War Department.
Last year Lieutenant General Sheridan,
IN company with a number of army Off
GERS and civilians, made an exploration
OF parts of the Territories of Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana. In November Gen.
sheridan made report of these eXp!ora-
tons to the General Of the army. who in
turn submitted it to the Secretary of War.
and it has since been printed. Several
months ago General Sheridan determined
10 make another exploring trip, and in
Ribed the PRESIDENT to accompany him.
The President lid not accept the invita-
ton at that time, because he did not then
know whether he would be able TO 90.
He subsequently accepted the invitation.
however, and, as above stated, will ac-
company the party as an invited guest
Dut VIII not consent that the govern
ment shall be put to any expense
by reason of this acceptance. He will
leave Washington in time to be present
at the opening of the exhibition at Louis
vile on the 1st day of August. He will
then meet the party in Chicago, and they
will leave that city on August for Fort
Washakee. From this point they will
follow the route travelled by Gen. Sheridan
last summer until they reach Hot Springs.
They will then branch off and follow the
Yellowstone river as far as Shields river

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 1S.-At about
o'clock this morning an express train
was thrown from the main track by a
misplaced switch at the zInc works. one
mile east of this city. The train was run
ming at full speed, and struck four
coal cars on side track, de-
mOlishing them. The engine jumped
the track and ran into the main building
of the works just erected by the East
Tennessee Valley Zinc Company, tearing
away the whole side of the building and
playing havoc with the machinery. The
locomotive struck the stationary engine
of the zinc company, demolishing the
latter completely. The locomotive and
tender were overturned. The mail car
was torn to pieces. The express car was
badly. The damage to the rail
road company is about $4,000 and to the
zinc company about $4,000. The railroad
offer large reward for the ap-
prehension of the person who broke the
lock and changed the switch.
