at tho Hannis distillery were only
gauging twenty.eight packages day, which
was not sufficient work to employ their
whole time. Mr.. Duval was informed by
mail that gauger in his district ought to be
able to do as much work as in any other
district. Tho collector then came to Wash
ington and had personal interview with
Commissioner Evans. He won't back to
Wheeling and cent communication to
President Arthur rendering his rosig-
nation, tho reason assigned being q
remark made by Commissioner Evans
to the effect that If he (Evans) was not
in full accord with tho administration he
would retire from Office. Mr. Duval inter-
prcted this as hint that his own resignation
was desired. The commissioner denies that
he intended to convey any such intimation in
his remarks. Secretary Folger has informed
Mr.. Duval that he is at liberty to withdraw
his resignation If he so desires and thus the

Arthur's Chances.
PHILADELPHIA NeWs.


There Is no occasion for the friends of Presi dent
Arthur to feel alarmed at the stories SO vigorously
manufactured and circulated by the friends of
the race for the presidential nomination. He is
to-day stronger than ever, and before the conven-
ton convenes he will be still stronger. Phiadel-
phia gives the republican majority in this state.
and Philadelphia is for Arthur. New England Is
almost solidly for Arthur, as against Blaine, al
though it now flvors Edmunds. The south is
unanimously for Arthur, although most southern
republicans prefer General Grant to any one else
The western states are divided in their support,
but could unite on Arthur, and the result in
New York city yesterday shows that the
President is the only republican who has
any strength there, not counting General
Grant as n candidate. There is, in fact no weak
ening whatever In the Presidents cause, and he
is day stronger all over the country than ever
before. The waves of public opinion will ad-
vance and recede many times before the time for
the convention, but 1t will be found at that time
that the Presidents strength and popularity will
then be increased instead Of diminished He is
the only republican who has been named for the
presidency except Gen. Grant who could possibly
carry New York state, and if Mir. Blaine should
be nominated he could not carry Massachusetts,
which would be too big detection to run the risk
of encountering.
The Presidents quiet attitude and the fact that
his friends are not claiming everything by whole
sale for him should not be construed by his
friends as an evidence of weakness. When the
time comes for action and the counting of votes
the results will show that loud claims don't settle

Responsibility OF the House.

CitittdRu LtuQCf.
The democratic majority has shown itself op-
posed to reconstruction Of the navy, not caring
a fig as to whether the country has the means of
making its flag respected abroad or of defending
itself at home. This is done under the pretense
that the secretary of the navy is not to be trusted
with the expenditure OF money for the construc-
ton ofnew vessels Thiss simply bosh, for theInew
vessels now under way are being constructed I'M
der contract and the superinteudenGe of the naval
advisory board 1t is proposed to pursue like
course with additional vessels, and this explodes
the democratic objection to Secretary Chandler
"usng the money to reward iavorites" The
house will undoubtedly kick against the senate
amendments and refuse to agree. But the ooun.
try needs an effective navy and It is to be hoped
that the senate will stand firm in the position 1t
has taken. If the house democrats insist upon
striking out the amendments and the appropria-
ton fails in consequence let that party bear the
onus before the country,

An election for state officers and members
of the legislature will he held in Louisiana
tomorrow. Tho crevasses and overhows
have taken up SO much attention in the
parishes that the people have had but little
time for talking politics, and tho campaign
has been spiritless. In the city Of New Or
leans, however, a bitter contest has been
waged between the partisans Of the regular
democratic candidates and a citizens reform
organization which has set up an opposition
ticket for municipal and parish officers. The
republicans will, for the most part, support
the reform ticket. An opposition ticket for
state officers was put into the field by convon-
ton of sugar planters, but there has been no
effective canvass made in its behalf The
chairman of the democratic state central
committee, experimenting that the opposition
candidates in New Orleans will poll heavy

Gratis of the parishes to bring out every voter
lest tho republicans may be encouraged by
the reduced democratic majority. There is
a good deal Of the bulldozing spirit in this

With more bullets in his hide,

The tests so far made of the now dynamite

that it will throw its projectile with good
degree of accuracy up to range Of perhaps
three miles. The experiments SO far have
been confined to determination of its effect

with sand instead of dynamite. IT, on further
testing, it is found that the shells whom

sources of modern warfare. But IL will take

Mantle can be safely propelled from the new

under special conditions of proximity it does
not seem likely the gun could contend with
