an improved feeling in financial circles, and
the markets for securities showed an advanc

identity anxious to cover, and, under their

excitement
The failure of L. c. Stedman & Co has been
announced. The firm has made an assign
ment to John McGinniS, Jr The liabilities
are small, and the firm owes no one hut its

continue to improve the last blow favoiing
that end having been struck by Chilan
division, which utterly crushed Caccras and
the whole of the Montonero forces, which
had been collected into an army variOusly
estimated at from 2 000 to 1000 men.
The battle commenced at a m on July
10, ana the Peruvian troops finally gave way
at about ? o'clock in the afternoon For
several hours the combatants were engaged
hand to hand, and the majority of the Peru
Wan officers killed fell within few yards of
the enemy
Directly the news of this battle reached
Lima, Gen Lynch sent message to President
Iglcsias, inviting him to Lima It is believed
that On his arrival in the capital arrange

that IglesiGs will raise soldiers and police and
maintain order there while the Chilians will
at once withdraw to Callao. Then congress
will meet in Lima the treaty will be ratified,
and the evacuation of the whole of Peru will
be completed, possibly within three months.

General Edward g. W Butler, who
was friend and companion of General
Andrew jackson, is living hale and
hearty old age in St. Louis. He has in
his possession many authograph letters
from General Jackson, whom he regards
as the greatest man who ever lived. 1t
is perhaps not generally known that on
the establishment of the Confederacy at
Montgomery General Butler was offered
the position of Commander in Chief of
the forces to be raised by President Da-
Wis. Besides the Jackson letters, Gener-
al Butler has in his possession an inter
esting batch of correspondence from
General Zachary Taylor and from Gen
Robert E. Lee.

The California papers inform us that
the Chinese government is making exten-
sive purchases of war material in this
country, apparently in preparation for the
struggle forced upon it by the French.
A Pacific Mail steamer took out last week
500 cases of cartridges, containing 1000
rounds each, or a total of 500, 900 rounds,
and also 5000 rifles, bought in this
country These purchases of war mate
rial have been going on for eighteen
months, and in that time 100000 rifles
and 95,OOO,OOO cartridges have been ship
ped to China by the Pacific Mail steamers.
In addition to this each steamer takes out
900 to 800 bales of heavy cotton duck
made in Georgia and Alabama, for tent
material.

GRESHAM FINDS OUT
why the Postal Guide Costs the GOV
crnment so Much

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5-For some time
past Postmaster General Gresham 9as been
investigating the publication of the
Postal Guide with a view of discovering
why il is that it costs the government
so much The contract for its publ
cation was given to Houghton,
Miflin & Co, of Boston before Gresham came
into Office. The terms Of the contract were
that the monthly issue shoul contain thirty
six pages, and the yearly number 1876 pages
at a certain stipulated price, which was rea-
sonable enough But for each extra page
the publishers have been charging the fat
figure of $$1. AS it is ito the interest Of
the publishers to make each issue run over
the number Of pages regularly contracted
for, they have been palIing out the matter
SO that compensation for extra pages has
reached the large sum of $25, 900 to $4,000
annually. The postnaster-ganeral has
made such reforms in the preparation Of the
matter that must appear in the Guda as to
keep it within the number Of pages specified
ia the contract.

CARTER HARRISON.
The Chicago Mayor Gives a Reporter
His Views on Tilden as a Candi-
date, and Other Matters,

New York, Aug. 15.-The Brooklyn Eagle
has the following from its Chicago CORES
pondent Talking to Mayor Harrison on the
political outlook, asked him:
"In your opinion who will be the most pop
ular candidate the Democrats can namep
''If Samuel j. Tilden viii mount horse
and ride at a dignified pace from the Battery
to Central park, and then gallop through the
park, and keep this up for several days be-
fore the convention, then he will be the
strongest candidate that can be named.
There is strong faith here in the west in the
integrity and ability of the Sage of Gram
Grey park, and there is also a sentimental
feeling that he was cheated out of Office at
the last election Realizing this and the
American people being lovers of justice. they
think there is a fitness of things in returning
the man who was defrauded then. But the
people in the northwest want a live man for
president If Mr.. Tilden can show them that
he is thoroughly alive, then there is no ques
ton but what he is the strongest man in the
United States. So potent is this sentimental
feeling that they would be willing TO risk
him if he would only ride on Broadway, to
say nothing of galloping through the park, il
only q strong candidate was named for vice
president to stand in the breach in case of q
contingency"
Suppose Mr. Tlden cannot ride horseback
up Broadway, what then3'
If Mr. Tilden does not show these physical
abilities the presidency Is coming west. The
woods are full OF men and it is hard to tell
who the candidate will be- Every tree in
Indiana has candidate, every acre in Illinois
has its aspirant, and the other states
ale equally well supplied. All we
want is this: Tf the Democratic
house Of representatives, will act with prlI-
dence and the next Democratic convention
won't hoist a red handanna to flaunt in the
face of capital and manufacture in the shape
of revenue for tariff only-the only is the
milk in the cocoanut, and don't want that
kind of milk-then we will not be beaten.
The people have reached the conclusion that
it is time to let the Democrats try a hand at
reform. The star-route verdict has shown
the impOSSibllity of convicting a thief in the
treasury. The people have come to the con
clusion that the old rats in the Republican
party know where the holes are by which
they can get into the public crib, and that a
new set of men must be elected to stop up
these holes and keep the rats out"
"Will the tariff question be an important
iasues"
81 do not think the tariff issue Will be
great one. The Republicans must put a
plank in their platform for protection; the
Democrats won't and that in itself will be
an issue You may be assured of this: The
Democrats will not let Watterson draw up
the platform this time He sometimes eats
dinner before he draws up party platforms
and doesn't always confine himself to solids
Mr. Harrison further said that the Demo
cratic party had never been free trade
party, but in favor of a tariff that would
take the burden as much as possible off of
Nhc masses and provide sufficient revenue

Captain Joseph L. Hayden, residing at No 924
Fourth street, South Boston, Mass, formerly

DAGGETT ON DORSEY.
EX-Sherih Daggett, of Brooklyn. N.
NJ, Adds His Voice to the Discussion
nf fkt larheld Camnaicn.


New YORK, Aug 15--There is apparently
no end to the discussion evoked by the ex-
star-router, Senator Dorsey. Ex-Sheriff
Daggett was interviewed on the subject of
the Garfield campaign, and says: Many
of Dorsey's statements are known TO
be false President Arthur himself
could contradict some of them, but the dig
nifty of the high office which he occupies
prevents him from entering into controversy
When Dorsey first made the statement that
Gen Garfield had rendered to him a cabinet
position he surprised his friends beyond
measure Dorsey himself told ME that he
had told to Gen. Garfield that there was no
office in his gift which he would accept
His rage began to manifest itself when he
found that James was appointed post
master general, but he did not altogether
despair until he learned that he was
not able to name Brady's successor as second
assistant postmaster general He moved
heaven and earth to secure the appointment
of Clint Wheeler, of New York. With
reference TO the story that Garfield betrayed
Sherman at Chicago, Mr. Daggett declared
that nothing could be more false, and the
story thaS Garfield had hargained at the
Fifth avenue hotel meeting with New York
politicians in the manner published he
characterized as ridiculous and absurd, The
money sent to Indiana he said was raised at
a dinner given at Gov Morgans house and
it was spent in legitimate campaign expenses.
Mr.. Daggstt said that it was not true that
Garfield had violated his pledge to Conklng,
In nshort, Mr.. Daggett gives general and
emphatic denial to every important charge
made by MIR. Dorsey, and says that it is diff
cult to determine what tho ex-senator's
motive can be for attacking Garfield and
Arthur
