General swain,s Case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-General Swain,
through his counsel, is resorting to every expe-
dent in order to secure another postponement
of the court-martial against him. 1t was re
ported to day in army circles that General Swain,
despairing of favorable verdict. had offered to
resign if the President would accept the resigna
ton. 1t is said Secretary Lincoln suggested the
proposition to President Arthur, and urged that
Swain be allowed to drop out of sight as speed
lily as possible, and thus avoid the disgrace to the
army which would certainly follow vigorous
prosecution of the case. This the President de
clined to do. saying that if General Swain was
guilty he ought TO be punished, and if innocent
that he should be fully exonerated. 1t is.claimed
that the Forthcoming trial will develop some
damaging facts against General Swain which
did not appear in the first courtrmartial.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-The official agricul-
tural returns of Great Britain and her colonies
have just been received here, from which it ap
pears that the total wheat of India is placed
at &C. 900 900 acres, and the yield in fairly good
year at about 3 bushels of wheat to the acre,
which would make the total yield of India about
242, 600, 900 bushels. The total export of Indian
wheat for 1883 is reported to have been AZ, 000,-
900 bushels. This report on the wheat yield of
India was made in compliance with an order of
the Indian government From comparisons made
with former years, it is estimated that fully 20
per cent of the India crop can be regarded as
available for expectation. The total quantity
of wheat in Guiding -four imported into Great
Britain last year was 14l, 600, 900 bushels, Of
which there were received from the United
States $1,000 900 bushels, and from India nearly

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Commissioner of

IS it applies to the employment of clerks in the

number of men and women have got into the

that they are incompetent to fill the positions

found that the principles Of promotion, and the
general relation of the forces under the law, is
good and practicable. The knowledge that merit
brings reward seems to stimulate the employees
to their best efforts. But the one great trouble
1t is believed, will have to be overcome by
an amendment to the law. Some
thing must be done providing for
the disposition of employees found to
be inefficient or incapaeitated from whatever
cause. This may be done in the early days of

after permanent employment that the undesira-
