How America Will be Affected.
New YORK, April 9.-The Evening Post
in its financial article says For the time
being all special conditions of particular
stocks are lost sight of in the belief that a
war would cause such demand for Ameri-
can com modities and cause such an increase
of traffic and speculation, that all stocks
would be increased to higher level. This,
with the jump of 6 cents per bushel in
wheat from last nights prices, shows that
there is an enormous amount of capital
ready to be launched into speculation as
soon as there is any prospect of an advance
in Stocks, good. bad or Indifferent. Tnis

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The following is
told as one Of the incidents at the White
house to-day. A Western Democratic sena-
tor called TO present the appointment of one
of his con stituents to an assistant commits
sionership: 'When / was practicing law"
said the president, II found that an instru-

VIII Reduce the Treasury Force.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-It is expected that
the special commission considering the ways
of doing business in the treasury depart
ment will estsimpler methods, by which
the services of 500 minor officials and clerks
can be dispensed with. At present the true
reformers are wandering about in the big
field of internal revenue collection. They
find there is and can be
no uniformity in the expenses
of the various districts. In some the cost ia
10 per cent. for collection, while in others
it is much greater, in one district costing
over 40 per cent. This is due to the sparse
ness of population in some districts and want
of facility to travel. The commission works
after Office hours, sitting until IL or II
O'Clock.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Appointmeni
Clerk Higgins has found out that young
lady employed in the treasury department
has for nearly two years given one-half o1
her monthly salary-$62.50- a lady out
side the department. She was anxious tc
obtain employment and offered to give one.
half of her salary to any one who would Sc
cure her a position in the treasury. A lady

Mexican Soldiers and Their Heirs to Get
Some Extra Ducats.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-In 1S49 congress
passed an act allowing all officers who had
served in the Mexican war three, months' ex
ira pay, which was then decided by the ac-
counting officers Of the treasury to apply
only to officers of the volunteer service and
not to officers of the regular army, who were
supposed to 90 wherever ordered without ad-
ditional compensation. The question has
been agitated ever since and in
1929 congress passed an act
defining the act of 1S4s to include both
regular and volunteer officers, which was
again disputed by the treasury officials. The
parties interested have since, through legal
decision, established their claim, and before
commencing payment the treasury depart
ment has furnished the secretary of war with
a list of the claimants to ascertain If they
are any way indebted to the government.
The list comprises many names promine ut
in military history, such as Gen. Winfield
Scott, Robert E. Lee, Persifer F. Smith,

NOTHING CAN PREVENT WAR.
When Mr. Gladstone declared that the
Russian attack on Penjdeh appeared to be

dorsed his phrase.
MR. GLADSTONE REPLIES FURTHER.
Later in the evening, Mr.. Gladstone.
replying to question asked by Sir Richard
Cross, said that the government had received
another telegram from Sir Peter Lumsdeu,
which tended TO qualify the statement by
him (Mr. Gladstone) in reply to Sir
Stafford Northcote, which was based on
Sir Peter Lumsden's statement that the AZ
ghans made no advance either before or
after March Il. Sir Peter Lumsden now
saws, continued Mr.. Gladstone, that when
the Russians threatened attack on the Afghan

Had BETTER Gene Home

Hon. John Sherman is at this time
waving that beloved bloody shirt of his

his friend Billy Malone more or less
good.
What havoc ofrebels John is making
and to what extent he has succeeded IN
saving the country from new rebellion
is not very clear, but we may be sure
that John is whanging away quite
yaliantly.
The purpose of this writing, how
ever, is to earnestly adjure Mr.. Sher-
man to hasten his return to his native
State, if he is expecting to be elected to
the Senate by the Legislature that was
elected the other day. His enemies are
at work, and John may tarry working
in the vineyard Of his friend Malone
until it is eyerlastingly too late.

clare that they will not vote for Sher-

If they do not John will not get back

spectacle of Sherman out Of Office

Sherman and the Blair Bill

Mr.. SHERMAN opposed the passage
of the BLAIR bill by the United States
Senate. Amongst other reasons which
he gave for his opposition to this benef-
cent measure was the fact that he was
afraid to trust the Legislatures of the
southern States with the distribution
of the money. Tell your Richmond
audience tomorrow night, Mr.. SHEER
MAN, that you are opposed to the
BLAIR bill, and that the reassn stated
above is one Of the reasons which in
duced you to oppose a measure that
would so greatly assist the South in
educating her children. We have your
own words on this subject, Mr.. SHEER
MAN, and may quote them tomorrow,

Mahone's Little Game.

Speaking of MAHoNE's short and
easy method Of electing WISE and re-
electing himself, the Charleston Mems
and Courier says:
"Of course this scheme has no prac-
teal value. 1t has been tried in this
State without effect. There is nothing
to prevent the man who keeps the list
ofvotes cast from marking down as many
votes as he chooses in excess of the
actual number deposited. Besides this,
there is no certainty that voter will
put in the box the ballot that he ex-
hibits."
It would be laughable, if it were not
for MAHoNE's unscrupulousness, To
contemplate his plan Of writing down
names outside Of voting-room, and
thus electing his candidates. Why not
write them down beforehand? Why
wait till election-day? Write then
down now; take the list to the polls
and "THEN AND THERE" to us'
MAHoNE's words, declare the election
of the MahOneites.

him as "another bloody-shirt orator

should have respectfully requeaed him
to retire from tn canvass.

Sherman's Conscience.

We have said or intimated elsewhere
in to-day's issue of the Dispatch that
we could not understand how any man
with an active conscience could speak
as SHERMAN recently spoke in Ohio,
and then come to Virginia and speak as
he has spoken here. But we know
now. We received yesterday alter
noon from a friend in Washington a
note that makes all plain. Let US ex-
plain.
April G, 1881, when Mr.. RIDDLE
BERGER was running as the Republic
can nominee for lucrative office in
the United States Senate, Mr.. SHEER
MAN spoke as follows;
"If the election Of Riddleberger will
enable us to break up the power of the
Bourbon Democracy in Virginia, | will
20 into this contest with ten times the
heart have had. If the action of the
Republican party in coming up to the
support of the Senator from Virginia
and electing one of his own trusted
friends will strengthen the Republican
party in Virginia, that is a political
object which will greatly advance the
good of the people Of the United States
il is political object for which l would

Retract or Repeat.

We borrow the words Of the Char
lottesville Jefersonian to FORAKER,
and say to Mr.. SHERMAN that if he
believes the charges he has made against
the South and Virginia, and particu-
larly Danyille, to be true, let him re-
peat aud undertake to prove them here
on Saturday night, and have the manli-
ness to let Yirginian reply to him and
yindicate Virginia and her sister States
of the South from the foul charge. Tie
has made these charges against our
people in his own State, when and
where no southern man had chance to
reply to him and vindicate our people.
If he has any sense Of honor and fair
ness he will when in our midst read in
our hearing the indictment which he
has filed against US, and give us an op'
pOrtunity to plead mot guilty through
our own attorney and establish our in
nocence. As our accuser he will con
front US, and let us be heard in our de

Look at Your Tickets.

The following note explains itself:
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I notice in several country papers re-
ceived here discrepancies as to the resi-
dence of General Fitzhugh Lee, printing
at the head of their columns, as the
ticket advocated by them, Fitzhugh
Lee, of Stafford, of Alexandria county,
and of Fairfcr. These discrepancies
may be copied on the tickets to be voted
on the day of election, and may posi-
bly, raise question for contest before
the General Assembly.
Call attention to the fact. Give his
residence, which believe is Fairfax
and guard the party managers against
any error of this kind in printing
tickets.
If the State Executive Committee has
not attended to this matter and sen
correct tickets to every county, and al
abundant supply of them, the Demo
cratic party will lose several Thousand
votes in consequence Of their failure t.
do 50, even if every ticket voted is cor
rect.
