VIRGINIA NEWS.

The Senate yesterday confirmed the fell
lowing nominations by the President fol-
postmasters: William S. Oakley, Mt Salem;
Mrs. Florine A. Hines, Suffolk Milton B.
Crowell, at Newport News.
The Richmond Dispatch sa, that, judy
ing by the answers to interrogatories that
have come in, and from other information,
it is not likely that the loss to the State in
the Auditors Office will be under $3.50, 900,
1t may be much more. It can hardly be
much less. The bulk of it is in the remit
tances of taxes and fines collected by clerks
of courts, but large sums paid in by banks,
insurance companies, and notaries, and by
delinquent land-tax payers, are missing.
In the United States Circuit Court. in
Richmond, yesterday Judge Bond discharg-
ed the jury in one of the coupon cases
brought to test the Riddleberger law. The
parties to it are the treasurer of Henrico
comfy aud A. ]. Ford. The latter is a tax.
payer in that county and rendered coupons
in payment of $685. due the State. The
treasurer refused to accept the tender,
whereupon Ford declined to pay in any,
thing else. The officer levied upon a mule
for the demand, and the suit was brought
against the treasurer to recover 81 900 dam
ages for trespass. Judge Binds re-
marks in disehargiDg the jury in this case
were such as to create the impression that
he would dismiss the suit.

The Swain Court-Martial.

In the Swain court-martial yesterday
Colonel Hunter Brooke, q clerk in the War
Department, VINO was on the stall of Gen
eral RosecTans, and acting judge advocate
at the time OF the battle Of Chlchamauga,
was called by the prosecution, with the oa-
ject of i'm peaching the truth of certain state
ments made by General Swain rs to the
wound received by him (Swaim) in that
battle, and as to his having had two horses
shot under him during the battle. The de-
| Ense Obj ec:ed to every question asked the
| witness on these points, and The objections
were sustained by the court. The argument
on these objections was Conducted with con-
siderable heat by counsel for the defense.
General GroSvenor criticized the attempt
of the prosecution to contradict General
Swaim's statements in this matter. and said
| of it: 1T l. tho smallest piece Of business
| that God Almighty ever allowed anybody
to go icto." He said: General Swain
was asked whether he was wounded 81
| Chickamauga. He answered that he was,
and thereupon the War Department went
| through a transformation scene, and the
reports of generals We're brought in here
something that I could not get if my lfo
were at stake. The War Department u5u
ally considers these records sacred, but for
the purpose Of furnishing the record of a
soldier they are forthcoming He said
also: II do not object TO this witness's tes-
timony because of any fear that after the
midnight interview which he had in the
War Department he may testify to any
thing that will harm my client"
Judge Shellabarger said that this attempt
on the part of the prosecution furnishes a
spectacle that the records Of this court
| shou|u not show 70 tho .~."t'y a s,our",i"
OF the prosecution attempting torob an Of
| 6cer, which, he said, should excite in the
mind of any honest man feelings Of unutter-
able and indispensable indignation.
The Judge Advocate contended that
General Swaims testimony was put in for
the purpose Of contradcting that Of six or
seven other witnesses, and that it is per-
fectly legitimate for the prosecution to i'm
peach the veracity OF General Swain by
showing that be testified falsely as to his
having been wounded, and as to other acts
of his at the battle of Chckamauga. The
court, however, refused TO admit the testi-

Death of Schuyler ColfaX.

Ex-Vice- President Schuyler Colfax drop
ped dead, yesterday morning, at the Omaha
depot, at Mankato, MINI He arrived on
the Milwaukee and ST. Paul Road from the
East, and walked to the Omaha depot, a
distance of three fourths of a mile, when
the thermometer was so degrees below zero.
After arriving at the depot he lived only
about five minutes. On arriving at The de-
pot he entered the waiting room, set his
satchel down, and, stepping over to the
window, looked out. People fin the depot
noticed That he looked rale and breathed
Fast, as though he had walked rapidly, but
otherwise he appeared in excellent health.
After gazing out Of the window short time
he returned to bis seat and sat down. In
moment the agent ard passengers were
startled by seeing him fall suddenly forward
to the floor. The agent, assisted by passen-
gers, did everything be could, but it was too
late, and, with one or two short gasps, be
died without saying word II is supposed
the extreme cold, subsequent heat and over
exertion caused stoppage Of the flow Of
blood TO the heart.
Schuyler Cofax was born in New York
city March %, 1928 10 1916 he became
editor and proprietor OF the Register, at
South Bend, Ind, which be published for
eighteen years. He was elected to the 34h,
35th S6tb, 37lh, Ssh, 39Lh and 10Th Con.
crosses as a republican, being Speaker Of
the House the last three, serving from De.
cember 8. 1855, to March 8, 1869. He was
elected Vice President on the ticket with
General Grant, and served from March !,
1869, to March 8, 1878. After his retire
ment from public life Mr. Colfax found prof
liable occupation in lecturing. He was
among those who were implicated in the
charges of having been improperly infu.
enced by Cakes Ames in connection with
Credit Mobilier stock, which, it was said,
was used literally among Congressman to
secure favorable treatment of the Union
Pacific Railroad. This accusation, coming
at the end of Mr.. Col(ax's term as Vice
President, probably had much to do with
his retirement from public life.

ycrsation 10 day, Dir. Bacon said they found
Mr.. Clevelend in excellent health, barring
ne fatigue occasioned by the many private
receptions which he was attending. Dur
ing the conversation the following points
were brought out and may be considered as
authority: Mr.. Cleveland will not visit To.
Lido until after the Inauguration, but will

ed that it would be impossible to come to
Toledo 10 visit his sisters family quietly
aud he vii! come no other way. He is de

mors about Cabinet appoin tments and other
questions, Dir. Bacon said; 81 have heard
plenty of rnmors but do not put any faith in
them, for know MIR. Cleveland will say
nothing about it until he is ready All ru-
rlors are therefore without any foundation
