PITTSBURGH, September 1.-THE action
of Chief of Police Braun in the Austrian
flag matter is likely to cause trouble yet.
}raum returned from Washington yester-
day morning where he said he had learned
a point or two He was still of the opinion
that he was in the right and would win.
He refused to say what course he would
pursue. 1t is said by some of the Chiefs
friends that he has declared positively that
he will not apologize TO Consul Schamberg
as he does not think he was in the wrong
In case he adhereS to this refusal there
may be music later on, as it is rumOred that
unless there is an apology and explanation
there will be immediate proceedings against
Braun by United States District Attorney
Stone, as Baron Shaeffer will ask that the
case be pushed.

Facts for the People

A Washington special say: that the
bondsmen OF Burnside, who stole over
$4,000 year while Disbursing Agent
of the Post-otlice Depar: mcnt. rely up
on escaping from responsibility rs sure
ties on the ground that his accounts
were not regularly audited in thee
Years. 1t is claimed that they can only
be held for one or two quarters, ii at
all. The Sixth Auditors office is no.
tOriously burdened with scurvy poll
ticians Of all colors, some eff whom
were appointed as rewards for their
services in the great fraud Of 1876.
Many of them are utterly incompetent
to perform the work expected of them.
The accounts of the Sixth Auditors
Office are, therefore, in great confusion
aHd in arrears.
Well. that is a very suggestive pie
ture of the condition of the affairs ia
one of the most important Offices of q
department of the Government. Burn
sides bondSmen certainly ought not to

to make good any deficiency in the ac-
counts OF Burnside. provided the TOW
eminent enforced it's regulations with
respect to the examination OF accounts.
The Government did not perform its
part of the contract. owing 10 the in
competency of the men it employs.
If the business of the Sixth Auditors
office had been conducted on business
principles Burnside would not have
been able to have stolen anything of
consequence His accounts, however,
had not been examined for three years.
Cases like these give the public
glimpSeS every once ia 4 while of the
way public bus ness is conducted and
the men who conduct il. These
glimpses ought to be sufficient to con-
vince the peOple that it is full time that
the control of the Government was
placed in other hands. There is great
need OF honesty aud com. cheney in the
public service, and they can not be had
by retaining the Repuhli an party in
mower. Only a day or two ago it was
discovered that a paper contractor was
cheating the OSt-otfice Department on,
o hundreds of thousands o: dollars by
furnishing aper far below the required
standard. This cheating process had
been going on ora .oug time. Those
whose business it was to see that the
contract was complied with had wholly
neglected their duty. 1t is certainly
time for the Republican party to GO

A Near View OF Mexico.

Howard A Easton, of Philadelphia,
who has just returned from business
trip into Mexico, says of that country:
1T is diamond in the rough, with a
good deal of rough. Mexico is a eoun-
try of immense resources, agricultural
and mineral, and when Yankee enter
prise is able to gain the mastery over
the ignorance and prejudices of the
people, it will be very valuable neigh
Dor. Four railroads now cross the
Mexican frontier, large portion of
which, however, is wild and uninhab-
tied. But in the course of time towns
will spring up and prosperity will
reign. | found a number of Americans
in Mexico. Something that ought to
be known is the condition of our con-
suls. They are mostly Frenchmen and
Germans, many of whom can speak
the English language, and they are not
particularly friendly to our tradesmen.
You see, the Germans and French have
controlled that trade for $50 years, and
have intermarried with the natives.
They buy enough American goods to
say they have them in stock. but recon-
mend something else all the time. They
do all they can all the time against our
trade. l tested them time and again.
cannot say, however. but that Ameri-
can merchants are more or less to
blame. have known firm to send
half-inch lumber and bill it inch. and

and then tell him he must look to the
man it was sold to for his commission.

ScGtland'S Sea Harvest.

The ''harvest of the sea-" so far as it
is gathered in Scottish waters, has jus
been made the subject of an officia
valuation by the officers of the Fishery
Board, by whom it is estimated as
amounting in money to total sum of
f3, 2S6, 242. The larger portion, little
over two millions sterling, is derived
from the herring fishery, which has for
a long period been the most important
fishing industry of the country. The
paddock is taken in vast quantities by
the Scotch fishing boats; 54S,56 ewt
were caught during the last twelve
months, the estimated value of the
catch being f340,693. The Scottish
oyster beds, like those of other local
tiles. have largely fallen off in produc-
tiveness. only 6, 456 hundreds of oysters
(of 120 each) having been gathered
from the once productive ''scalps'' of
Scotland. The total value of the shell.
fish taken is set down as amounting "

EeldricS'S Letter.

The formal letter of Mr. Hendricks
accepting the Democratic nomination
for President. is short and sweet.
brief but expressive. The letter is even
more formal than is usual in such cases.
but it is rendered So by the fact that
Mr.. Hendricks publicly accepted the
nomination few hours after the adj
jouument of the convention, ana scaled
his acceptance by opening the cam
palm in Ind ana with characteristic
liveiiness. He gave the cue to the
Democrats OF lis state, and from that
hour TO this the Democrats, under his
leadership. have had the Republicans
on the defensive. Mr.. Blaine thought
to change the tide somewhat by suing
the Ind annapolis Sentinel for libel, but
his senSat onal telegraphic order failed
to produce the effect its author in
tended it should. Mr.. Hendricks also
took occasion, before the campaign
was fairly open, to give little Billy
Chandler lesson in political polemics.
and the result is that Little Billy has not
been publicly heard from since. Mr.
Hendricks IS not disappointing his

4 DYING. Declaration.

TRof, \. Y, September ANDREW
jackson, wealthy resident of Hammond's
station, four miles from MechanicsviIle,
Saratoga County, was found on the railroad
yesterday morning with deep cut on the
head and both legs cut of. He lived an
hour and before dying said that William
BOlan and John Duffy, neighberS, threw
him under a train. Boian's father recently
beat jackson in a law suit and they have
been enemies ever since. Young
Bolan was arrested at Meehanicsville and
denies the charge. Duffy will re
arrested and both will be arraigned at
MechanSville. There is intense eX-
element at Mechanicsville and Vi
.cinity, where the the parties are ali well
known and respected. Opinions vary as to
the truth of JackSonS dying statement.

that Greedy was an invalid the last few
