ANOTHER CASE.

The Coming Investigation of the Govern
ment's Claim Against the Saulsburys. =
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 27.-When the star
route trials are done, a commission consist
ing of Second Assistant Postmastergeneral
Elmer, George Bliss and Colonel Ingersoll
will examine into the claims of the govern
ment against the Saulsburys, for money al
legged to have been overpaid them on mail
contracts. Mr.. Elmer estimates the over
payment at about 100000, though inquiry
may show this to be only a small part OF
the money actually due the government.
The Saulsburys were the heaviest star
route contractors in the business, and how
they escaped indictment along with the
others is one of the mysteries over whose So
luton wise men of Washington have been
worrying themselves for year or
two. Mr.. Elmer would have had the exam
ination of their accounts well along now if
he had been let alone, but the Department
of Justice thought be couldn't do it thor
oughly without Bliss, and the Saulsburys
wanted mgersoll to have a hand in the job,
and, in Difference to this demand, he has
held off. In point of fact, Mr.. Elmer will
be the commission and the other two gentle
men merely counsel. BY law it is his duty
to pass upon accounts and claims of this
character in his capacity as second assistant,
and he is not obliged to consult the wishes\
of any so-called commissioners unless he
should feel so disposed. The Saulshurys
have very kindly agreed to pay back any
amount they may be found indebted to t@s
government

The Amount of the Product of Each Metal
for 1882.
WAsHtNeroN, March 2T.-An investigation
has been made by agents of the Treasury De-
parfment and the information is being col
lected at the Mint Bureau which wiz show
the gold ard silver product of the country for
the calendar year 1882 The details are not
yet ready for publication, but in general
terms it may be stated there was an increase
in the silver production amounting to about
SO, 600, 600, and a slight falling off in gold
The principal increase in the silver product
was in Colorado and Idaho, while Nevada and
Arizona held their own. There was some
increase in New Mexico also. For the first
time a silver product is reported from North
Carolina, and, though not over $25, 900 for the
year, will attract attention as a novelty.
A decrease in the gold production arises
chiefly from the falling of in Dakota, and to
some degree in California. The decline is
small, however. The gold mines of Colorado
have made a notable increase in output,
while Idaho has increased somewhat in its
produce and Montana has held its own
There has been the greatest proportion in in
crease Of Georgia of any State or Territory in
the Union. The output will foot up for the
year about 81, 100000 The report indicates,
further, that for the ensuing year the most
noteworthy characteristic of the report is the
unprecedented activity in mining along The
Appalachian range in Georgia and the Caro-
linas

BLOOMINGTON, March 27.-The trouble be-

generally understood that the call emanates
from the Knights of Labor, to which organ

be four candidates in the field.

Washington Special to Boston Herald
Governor Butler, it is said, is to be called
upon to defend his title to the massive block
of granite-houses built by him on Capitol
Hill. The land was purchased by Thomas
Law, a brother of Lord Peterborough. He
was for some years connected with the East
India company, and amassed large fortune
in India at the time Warren Hastings was
encouragement. 1t was asserted, although
never proved, that Law emigrated to America
to avoid being called as a witness in the Hast
ings trial When he came here, he brought
$500, 900 in gold, and soon fell in love with
Miss GUSTS, the granddaughter of Mrs
Washington and the sister of George Wash
ington Parke Curtis To ingratiate himself
with General Washington he made large in
yestments in land on Capitol Hill, and the
General favored his suit. His marriage was
not happy, and it is asserted that, when a
divorce suit was about to be commenced by
Mrs. Law, her husband conveyed his real
estate to a friend. The consideration was
but nominal, but the papers are said to be
legal, and they we're recently found in a
secret drawer by the friends grandson.

Expectation of Bonded whisky to Canada

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Acting Sec
rotary of the Treasury has addressed letter
to the Secretary of State on the subject of
the proposed modification of the Canadian
regulations in regard to the expectation Of
bonded whisky from the United States. He
says the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
and himself are agreed that, inasmuch as the
right of expectation into Canada without
payment of tax was one guaranteed by law,
and not subject to tie discretion of the
Treasury Department, that department
would have no objection to such modifica-
tions of the Canadian regulations as would
permit the importation into their dominion
of whisky in packages of twenty gallons and
upward The Secretary of State is requested
to communicate these views to the Canadian
government.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal.
VERNON, Ind, March 26,-In a conversa-
ton to-day with one of the oldest residents
here about the early history of Vernon,
number of prominent citizens of Indianapo-
lis figured conspicuousfy in the old gentle
mans recital. Vernon, though modest in
most of her pretensions, claims with pardon
able pride to have been the early home of a
generous share of the talent of Indianapolis.
This may seem a bold assertion, as Vernon
boasts neither of wealth nor fame, but only
holds that she is productive of genius
Prominent among this number is the late
lamented Judge Horatio G. Newcomb. For
many years he made this town his home, He
began the practice of law here; was elected
mayor, and for awhile was associate editor of
the paper here. He was married to Miss
Eliza Pabody, daughter of DR.. Pabody, of
this place. He always came to Yer
non every year for summer
holiday after his removal to
indianapolis. His successful and honorable
career is too we'll known for us to mention
it, The memory of his good deeds will long
live in the hearts of many friends and adj
mirers here. Dr. Parvin so justly celebrated
for his ability as a physician, began the
practice of medicine here, to which fact he
doubtless owes his present fame. We met
him at Edinburg, by chance, few weeks
ago, and while we were waiting for a dam
aged piece of railway to be repaired he
pleasantly recalled many incidents of his
early career i'll Vernon.
Our handsome, genial General Foster,
United States marshal, was born here, and
we are proud of it. The old Foster home
stead stands down ION the corner" very lit
tie changed. Many of the self-same apple
trees that Sandy used to invade
much to the disgust of their
owners-are standing, and are mute
witnesses to his boyish depredatons
However, "alls well that ends WE'LL" and if
he had hooked" every apple in town it
would be all right now.
John c. New also was born here The
house where he first saw light yet remains
intact, opposite the old j., NJ. & l. passenger
depot. The four walls that echoed his first
vocal concert are still standing, and there
are several old grandmothers here who tell
with pleasure that they trotted him, a mis-
chievous urchin on their knees. Vernon
feels Justly proud of the fact that she has
produced man who has occupied as many
positions of honor and trust as John c. New.
Several of the New family still reside here.
Elder Hickman New father of Judge Jeptha
d. New and also the Judge make their home
here. We are honest when we say that we
believe that Vernon has produced as many
prominent men in proportion to her popula-
tion as any town in the State.

Summing Up the Rebuttal Testimony in

Summing Up the Rebuttal Testimony in
the Lafayette SANDER Suit.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, March 27.-The day in the
Gougar-Mandler SANDER suit was spent in a
general summing up of the rebuttal testi-
mony. Witnesses were asked about seeing
Captain Wallace and Mrs. Cougar together
after night on the street, but this testimony
was not allowed. 1t is confidently expected
that the defense will rest by tomorrow even
ing, and big fight will doubtless ensue over
the rights of plaintiff on surrebuttal,
Richmond Palladium.
The sensational SANDER suit at Lafayette is
developing great bitterness of feeling, not
only between the immediate parties to the
suit but among the papers and many OF the
best citizens. So intense is this feeling that
little else is thought of or talked about.
Mrs Cougar has undoubtedly been inds-
Greet in the comments made upon the trial
and upon witnesses, in her own paper, and
has aroused an indignant opposition where
she should have had friends.

A MATTER OF CONTRAST.


In speaking of this matter with member
of the Illinois Senate, he remarked, by the
way, that he was glad to note the contrast
between the record made thus far by the
Legislature of this State and that made by
the late Indiana Legislature, He said a
Legislature which would assume to with
hold the appropriations, for the despicable
purpose of Furnishing STATE officer, or for
any other purpose, could expect to read its
history with shame. He referred to the fact
that the late Indiana Legislature had prac-
tically crippled its bureau of labor statistics,
in effect saying to the people who follow
industrial pursuits and work for wages that
they have no interest which Democrats
are bound to respect. while the
Illinois Legislature not only supports
this important bureau, but has determined
to double its appropriations and to put into
its hands the entire system of mine inspec-
ton in the State. He compared the history
of the late Indiana Legislature with that of
the Legislature which left Governor Morton
without appropriations to perform the duty
OF the State of Indiana to the government
in the trying times of the late war and with
the history of the noted Copperhead Legis-
lature of 1868 in Illinois, which became so
infamous that the great war Governor.
Richard Yates, was obliged to prorogue it.
This was the last Democratic Legislature
Illinois had ever had. 1t was enough for
the people, and his opinion was that the late
Indiana Legislature ought to satisfy that State
for dozen years to come.

Gossip About the Republican Nomination
for the Presidency.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SPRINGFIELD, March PA gentleman con-
nected with the Revenue Department at
Washington has been spending few days in
this city, and in conversation with the CORE
spondent of the indianapolis Journal gave
some interesting political gossip He said he
had spent the past few weeks in various parts
of Indiana and Ohio, and had made special
note of the apparently growing sentiment in
favor of Gen. John A. Logan as presidential
candidate. He stated that he had conversed
with number of influential people in Ohio,
who remarked upon the recent friendly
attitude of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette toward Gen. Logan, and asserted
that there seemed to be strong tendency to
make Judge NJ. L. Force, of Cincinnati, the
next Republican candidate for Governor of
that State adding that there appeared to be an
almost universal belief that Mr.. Force would
readily carry the State. eli that is so" said
he, "a victory for Force in 1888 would prac-
tically mean an easy possibility OF securing
delegation favorable to Logan in 1884 from
Ohio" He did not pretend to know what
was behind all this, or whether there was
anything behind it; but it was part Of the
current political gossip in the States named.
1t is noticeable that the substance of this Cos
sip seems news to scarcely any of the leading
politicians and members of the Legislature
