The Chicago Times. a Democratic pa
per, has been making an invest igaton of
the Irish dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic ticket in that city and reports that
the disutrcction is considerable. and eX-
tends to men of all stations of life The
Times interviewed only those about whose
affiliations with the Democracy there was
no doubt, and concludes that the IrShmcn
are in no mood at present to pull off their
coats for the election Of the Democratic
National ticket. The same thing is true
to considerable extent in this State. The
Irish quarrymen and mechanics in Rut-
land are taking the New York campaign
1ribune in large numbers, and paying
their own money for it: and on Wednes-
day evening IA large Blaine and Logan
club was organized at Sutherland Falls,
composed largely Of IrishAmericans, who
have till now been Democrats, with
speeches by Hon. lockwood Barrett of
Rutland and others, which were received
with great favor. The Irish detection is
likely to cost Mr.. Cleveland many thou
sand votes.

TESTIMONY As 10 THE DEALINGS OF BarEMAS co
In the swain trial yesterday, after THE SrARs
report closed the court sustained objections made
BY the prosecution TO questions prcpounded by the
defense to Howard T. Bell, the New FORK broker ,
as TO hts views concerning the dealings OF Bateman
and Co. The court decided, however, that tie ac-
cused could introduce testimony 70 show what In
formation came 10 him prior 10 February 4. 1854
tending TO discredit the accounts or Bateman CO.
QUESTIONS AS TO BsTgNAS's METHODS RULED OUT
When the court met to-day Robert L De Akers,
who was employed by Batemen Co. as telegraph
operator and stenographer from september, 1854 TO
May. 1855. was called oy the defense. and asked by
MT. Grosyenor whether MI. Bateman directed that
posted On the bulletin board This question was
objected 70. and Mr.. Grosyenor asked the witness
what Instructions Mr.. Bateman had given him
about posting these stock reports The judge adj
yoca5s objected 20 this being OF the character OF
inquiries ruled out by the court yesterday.
Judge Shellabarger sand that the defense wanted
to show that false accounts OF the state OF the mar
ket were ordered 70 be put up by Bateman, and
thus show that Bsteman and his concern were
wholly unworthy or respect
The court decided that the counsel must estao-
lish the fact that that Information came 10 Gen.
Swain before showing that such things had
occurred. The counsel for the defense stated that
they would recall the witness after the examin-
alton OF Gen. swain
Mir. Humphrey was recalled by the prosecution,
and denied having said recently that this was a
good time TO present MS bill against Swain, as
Swain wanted something out OF him
Gen. Swain was then called 70 the stand, and
entered upon Q recital OF his relations with Bate
man Co.

THE TAXES ON rHB HOWARD UNIVERSITY PROPERTY.
The Commissioners have written a letter TO Sena-
tor Pike. OF the District committee. IN regard to
Senate bill No. 1874, relating to District taxes
against the Howard university. giving their rea-
sons for maintaining that only the property ac-
tually used by that Institution should be exempt
from taxation. They refer to the fact that the
government had been called upon to purchase 22i
acres or the Howard university for the new reser-
voir, at about 1900 per acre, while the pEoperty
was assessed by the District at about SLIGO per
acre. The Commissioners think that when any
school holds property Tor speculative purposes In
the 1ndentte future it should be on the same terms
as that held by private citizens
