THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL SERVICE.

The House of Representatives at
Washington, by a considerable ma
iority, struck out of the Postoffice APP
preparation bill clause providing
for the payment of American steam
ships carrying the United States. mail
to foreign countries, and the bill as
amended will probably pass the Sen
ate. A similar clause was stricken out
of the Shipping Bill in the last session
of Congress, and substitute enacted
providing that ships might clear at
any American port after April 18th:
1885, without taking mail on board,
although notified TO do so by the
Postmaster. This places the foreign
mail service of the United States at
the discretion of the owners and
masters of steam and sailing vessels,
and is manifestly improper. But our
immediete interest in it is the prob
ability that it will induce New Zea-
land to withdraw from the Pacific
Mail service, and so terminate our
direct trade with the Australasian
colonies. The existing contract, to
which alone New Zealand is party,
terminates next November, and that
country, having established direct
ocean service with England, will not
be likely to continue paying heavy
annual subsidy for the sole purpose of
sending monthly mail by this route.

General Grant to his old army rank
was drawn with his usual good taste
and felicity of expression.

AN important bill was introduced
in Congress by Mr.. Tucker of Vir-
GINA on the 18th inst. It's purpose is
to reorganize the Federal Courts, and
is entitled ga bill to increase the
judicial force of the United States
and prevent delays in the admins
tration of justice in their courts" It
increases the number. of judges and
distributes their judicial work. The
Second Circuit is to have four judges
instead of one, and all the other cir
cults three judges each instead of two.
The Supreme Court is to be composed
of fourteen insteadof mine judges, as
at present. That Increase in the
number of Feders judges was neces-
sary every one 80 knows anything
of the workings the Federal Courts
will admit, butethis bill will probably
be fought on arty grounds as an at
tempt to create judicial patronage for
the Democrats. The bill, however,
is a necessary one, and should be
passed.

A Brute Put Out of the way.

CINCINNATI, Sept II. Last Saturday a
negro named Scales who had just been
discharged from the Cincinnati workhouse
and had obtained employment on a farm
in Boone county, KY, made a brutal as
sault and rape upon the 5-year-o'd daugh-
ter of a poor man named Lunsford. The
negro knew that the child was alone in
the house before he entered 1t, Having
threatened to kill her if she told, the lit
tie girl did not tell her mother until her
pain compelled disclosure. Scales was
arrested, and with difficulty, taken to
Burlington Jail. There have been rumors
nightly of an attempt to lynch him Last
night a mob gathered at Florence, and in
wagons and on horseback, went to Bur
lington, broke into the Jail, carried the
negro to the woods on the turnpike and
hanged him to a tree.

FROM LANDER.
Oil and Artesian Water---Explora-
tons in Sweetwater County.
speeIa DLspatch 70 III LrAprn.

special Dispatch to THE IADER
LANDER, Wyo., Sept. lin the Bea-
yer Mountain oil basin work has ceased
for the season. A shaft has been sunk
326 feet and oil runs freely, though not in
large quantities. There is good promise
of a heavy flow at a greater depth. 1t
has been determined by the company to
sink a much larger shaft. This, much to
their regret, cannot be driven this fall. as
it is impossible to get the necessary cas-
ing for the shaft on the ground this sea
son. A great oil reservoir lies in the
depths of this mountain. The expert
enced eye can discern traces in the basin
of u former enormou oil flow. The ba-
sin is, beyond a doubt. the crater of an
extinct volcano. Volcanic nobs are scat
tered about, and within sight of the ba-
sin is the former scene Of the eruptions
of a gigantic Reyser.
Some singular water phenomena has
been developed by the sinking of the
shafts. An a%rtesian flow has been struck
in the main shaft, and, escaping to the
side of the mountain, has forced for itself
a passage, through which it dashes and
foams to the sagebrush fat below. This
water is of inestimable value to the stock
interests Of the section. The ourcc can
not be exhausted, and stock of all kinds
greedily drink of the bountiful supply.
In the basin there has also been found
a fountain of soapsuds, whose foaming
waters eat grease. Clothing saturated
with oil is freed from the greasy impurity
in a short time by simple immersion.
Valuable and extensive veins OF coal
have been discovered and partially devel-
oped within a few miles OF the oil basin.
Work on the Dallas oil fields will be re-
sumed this fall.
