RnndalIs Visit to Tilden.

WASHINGTON, March l7.--Ex-Speaker
Randall was absent in New York nearly all
last week, and it is said has had several cou-
ferences with Samuel j. Tllden upon the
political situation. 1t Is not yet known here
whether the result of Randall's visit will
effect his action upon questions pending in
Congress, but those usually in The ex-Speak-
er's confidence, say he went to New York 20
ask the Sage Of Grammsrcy Park for advice
as TO his own course, and that of other Pro-
reduction bill. For some time 1t has been
apparent that Randall would soon be com
PEELED TO show his hand on the tariff, as his

of many Democrats, decide the fate of the

ers, Is looked for with interest. Some of his
Pennsylvania friends say he will ultimately
decide not to antagonize the tariff bill, but
only TO vote against 1t. Two days after Ran,
dali reached New York, Tilden, in an inter-
view with the correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, formally declined to have his
name used any longer in connection with
the Presidential nomination. There may
have been no connection between this cir
cumstance and Randall's visit, but politi-
clans here think there is, and they are now
anxious to know If Randall or Payne has
been made Tilden's legatee. Randall's
friends say that when he was defeated fol
Sneaker, he abandoned all idea of having
the honor himself, and hence 1t Is believed
the influence cent ring around Grammercy
Park will ultimately declare for Payne.

Bisnlarck's Dafeuse.

ST. LOUIS, March 13.-The Westiiche Post
will publish to morrow extracts from an Off
cial dispatch from Prince Bismarck to the
German consuls in the United States in re-
gard to the prohibition of American pork.
Bismarck instructs the consuls to do every
thing in their power to cultivate friendk re.
lations between Germany aud tina G~ited
States. He says: The prohibition of Amari.
can pork arose altogether from sanitary
reasons, and has no unfriendly character
whatever, and intimates that it would be in
the interest of the United States to adopt
such sanitary measures as exist in Europe,
aud thereby put Germany In a position to
permit the importation of American pork.
The dispatch shows conclusively that the
German Chancellor does not want to provoke
retaliation, but it is his aim to preserve
friendly relations between Germany and
America.

for the confidence, sympathy and admiration
Of the Republican party. 1t is an attempt
to regain the popularity lost four years ago.
It is an appeal to the enemies of the South,
and judging from the chapter before us, q
shrewd electioneering document has been
dropped before the politicians of the country
al most opportune moment.
The Post says of the Blaine publications
this morning: 1t Is cause for infinite regret
that 30 important q contribution to historical
literature should be psraded before the world
as If 1t were a mere stump speech Of an in
durable Presidential aspIrant. Not only is
Blaine's standing as a historian injured
thereby, but his sagacity as politician i'm
peached by an inference which is given that
he thinks a successful bid can be made for
the Presidency on the issue of Buchanan's
administration. Undoubtedly his publish.
ers are responsible for this indiscretion, and
1t will only serve them right If be takes the
work out of their hands forthwith.

book seven columns of extracts, and says the
period covered Is the critical one lust prior
TO the civil war. embracing lastly the move
ment of secession. Blaine writes dispassion.
ately but critically, reviewing the characters
Of the leaders of the revolt against the
Union, as well as the public motives which
actuated them. He deals kindly with
Buchanan, whose misfortune, he says, It was
to be called upon TO act in an emergency
which demanded full fortitude and moral
courage, in which qualities he W as deficient.
In the vastness Of the subject and the
breadth of treatment, neither the notes of
Jefferson, the autobiography of Franklin,

John Quincy Adams, nor the modern writ

TO CATTLE MEN =.

The recent ravages Of the foot and mouth
disease among cattle In the States, the m ove-
ment of the disease Westward, and the dire
consequences that would result from its
spread into the herds of Montana, are mat
tiers of concern to all cattle owners in the
Territory. 1t Is the greatest evil that ha,
ever threatened their interests, and through
them the Territory. The assessors returns
show there were about $500 head of cattle
assessed In this Territory last year. Includ-
ing calves not branded then, aud the excess
Of importations over expectations, II Is esti-
mated there are $4,000 head OF assesssble
cattle on the Montana ranges this year.
These are worth, on IN average, $50 per
head, making ten and 6 half million dollars
Of assessable property, which Is threatened
with the introduction Of fatal plague. It
Is therefore . matter of public Is we'll Is

lost. The dispatches state that Wyoming
has already taken action In the matter, pre-
