A Chance for Sterling.

AN EXAMINATION TO BE HELD, IN WHICH IT IS
SAID HE WILL PROBABLY WIN THE PLACE OF
wEIGHER.
1t is said that Sterling, the man who sue
ceeded Bacon as weigher of the New York GUS
tom house and was afterwards thrown out of
the place by the Presidents decision that his
appointment was a violation of the civil service
law, has not been thrown overheard and de-
serted, but will probably yet have the coveted
case by some of the New York officials here,
and they hope to see him vindicated. Sterling
himself is not respondent It is said by his
ministratiOn; that he understands that it was
polite in the face of the law and on the eve of
the conventions in New York to harken to the
animation for the wegner. Sterling will
enter the contest. and it is claimed for
him that he will win his vindication.
The administration certainly would like it to
turn out so. a STAR reporter was talking with
quite prominent Official to-day! who said
there was no doubt about Sterlings ability to
distance all other competitors in an examina-
ton tor the place. The thing was all right. he
said; the law had been obeyed, and Sterling
would not be the sufferer. During his term as
assistant weigher under Arthur he had become
very familiar with the duties of the office, and
was now a better wegner than Mr. Bacon. The
records showed, lie said, that during the two or
three days Sterling had served he had got a
better average of work out OF the men under
him than had ever been made before; his record
was 20 to BacOns II. This, it was designed
should be taken into consideration in the ex-
probably be the principal antagonist, Sterling
could easily win. The President has not vet
announced the character OF examination to be
held but 1t is supposed it will relate directly to
the business OF the office with which it is
claimed Sterling perfectly familiar. They
say there are no charges ON file against him, and
II he passes the examination ahead OF the rest
there Will be nothing in the way OF his receiv-
Ing the appointment.

THE REPUBLIC NOT IN DANGER.
The ReactiOnnry Triumph in France
Regarded i'm England as a Protest
Against the Ferry Foreign Policy.

Special Cable Dispatch 10 THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, October THE French elections
continue to excite the keenest interest here.
The general opinion is that the republic is safe
and that the reaction is not q sign of a change
OF republican for conservative principles but
an indication of a protest against the Ferry
policy in Tunis, Tonquin aud Madagascar, and
a proof only that the French democracy decline
to be dragooned by these republicans lately i'm
Office. No danger is to be apprehended from
the conjunction of Bonapartists and royalsts.
These factions are rendered powerless through
jealousies whenever an attack on the republic
approaches maturity. The lesson taught by
the elections, if well learned, will only place
the republic on surer foundation. The cleo
tloneerers and wire-pullers now have a chance
declared its own independence and that the
the opportunists between the radicals and the
SeactiOnarieS. 1t is a curious TACT that the re-
suit of the elections is not regarded in England
as nearly SO serious as it is i'm France. The Re
pubtque franchise says there is but one rem
edy. The Union National says the result of
fifteen years patient work has been compro-
missed in few hours. The Standards CORE
spondent is confident there will be blood shed
in the streets of Paris. RochefOrt's remedy is
to guiliotine Ferry. There are other causes be-
sides the blunders of the foreign policy
especially the depression of trade, which we in
England are finding exerts a dangerous politi-
cal influence. The voters only method OF pro-
testing, too, was by voting hostile lists

A rather peculiar complaint has been made to
the authorities against the coachman OF the Brit
ish legation. The complaint il made by certain
livery stable keepers who say that the coach
man of the English legation makes a practice Of
hiring out horses from the stable, thus inter :
fering with their business. Under the treaty
governing such cases no license can he charged
of the coachman. Whether there is any ground
for the complaint is not known, and there are
some indications that ii is the work OF spite.
1t is known, however, that some coachmen con-
nected with certain foreign legations have at
times hired out the horses belonging to the le-
cations, and there are reasons for believing that
i'm some instances those higher than the coach
men were the beneficaries. The district tax
collectors have frequently had information tina;
persons, SO as TO save paying tax on personal
property, have transferred it temporarily To
attaches OF foreign legations. OF course no tax
Is required OF persons who hold diplomatic rela-
lions with the government, and in this way the
property in question has escaped taxation alto
gether. The ordinary citizen Is required 70 pay
a license for each dog he owns. The dogs belong

from taxation. 1t is known that certain persons
have made q convenient transfer OF the owner
ship OF their dogs to attaches of legations, and
thus avoided paying the dog license.

These calves proved TO be the ones stolen from
Foreman. Soon alter Johnson was prosecuted
by the Anti-Horse Thief association of Jones
county for the theft OF the calves. lie was tried
twice and acquitted. and in 1877 brought suit
against seven members of the association for
malicious prosecution. alleging that they did
not have probable cause for commencing the
action. The case has been before the courts
ever since, and has been tried five times, and
each time except one the plaintiff received a
verdict running FROM $4,000 to $500, but
each time the verdict has been set aside. The

neys' fees and expenses entailed upon all parties
to the litigation is estimated at over SO, OO0

who had charge OF the loans, returned from
