The POstai-Card Famine.

master general Hazen has just returned from
the postal card factory at Castleton, N. Y. The
to a very small quantity, and fears were enter
tanned that the supply, under the new contract,
would not be available in time to meet demands.
The new cards already manufactured do not
meet the requirements of the department in
quality, but it is expected, as a result Of The
visit of Mr.. Hazen, that an Improvement will be
made in that respect, and that a stock sufficient
to meet the demands of the service will be avail
able before the exhaustion of the stock of old
cards now on hand.
The Postoffce Department is dissatisfied with
both the quality and rate of printing of postal
cards under the new contract. AS the supply on
hand is about exhausted, however, the Post
master general may elect to accept the cards
now being printed at a rate below the contract
price.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
LoGANsPoRT, Aug. 27.-The third annual
reunion of the Ninth Indiana Regiment Volun-
teers was held in this city yesterday and today.
and was attended by about two hundred of the
members. The reunion was a success In every
sense of the word, and was more largely attended
than any previous meeting. The chief interest
to-day conferred in a scene evoked by the reading
of a letter from Major general Milroy. the first
Colonel of the regiment, at present in Washing
ton Territory. General Milroy has for years
filled the position Of surveyor.general in Wash
ington Territory, but was recently suspended.
He stated in his letter that during the war the
rebels offered a reward in confederate money
for his head. but were unable to claim the
reward until Mr.. Lamar was placed in charge of
the Interior Department under Cleveland's
administration, when this ex rebel demanded
his resignation, which was refused. He was
then suspended by President Cleveland. 1t the
meeting to day. a motion of sympathy for the
General and censure for the administration was
offered. which called forth a lively discussion.
After much heated talk, the censure portion was
withdrawn and the resolution passed.

The Grant Mourning Emblems.

Washington Special.
All the Grant emblems of mourning which
swathed the columns of the public buildings
were removed to day. The flag is once more at
the masthead, and only the memory of the dead
hero remains to recall the sad event of July %.
1t is not generally known that the government
authorized a larger expenditure of money for
the mourning decorations than was ever before
spent in decorating the public buildings. Not
even for President Garfield, who died in Office.
or for President Lincoln was there so much
demonstration by the government as for ex-
President and General Grant. Secretary Man
ming. as Secretary of the Treasury, is the Gus
tOdian of all the public buildings outside of
Washington. He directed that without being
extravagant there should be nothing niggardly
in the expenditure of money for the mourning
decoration of the buildings in all the principal
cities. One thousand dollars was spent on the
Postoffice and Custom House in New York. The
accounts are not all in. and there has been some
question already as to how the bills are to be
paid, Congress not having set apart a sum for
such a purpose. Hitherto the way has been to
pay the bills out of the contingent fund and repre-
sent 10 Congress how the deficiency arose.
There has never been an instant's delay in secur-
ing such a deficiency, and of course there will be
none with the present account

A story About Hayes and Arthur.

A good story is told about ex- Presidents HAYES
and Arthur when they attended the Grant fu.
neral in New York. The carriage containing
the two ex Presidents was just opposite the
Twenty'third-street entrance of the Fifth.Ay-
enue Hotel, where they were four long hours
waiting for the procession to move. General
Arthur, VINO usually eats a light breakfast, be-.
coming hungry, called to the carriage an attend
ant who stood at the hotel door, and asked him
to bring a couple of sandwiches. In a few
minutes a waiter appeared with a tray on which
he carried some sandwiches. neatly covered with
a napkin. In the center of the tray, however.
was a bottle OF claret which stood bolt upright
in full view Of the thousands of people who
thronged the sidewalks and ~roadways near by.
General Arthur told the waiter to take the claret
back, sayingto Senator Henderson, of Nebraska.
who was leaning over the carriage door talking
with the distinguished occupants of the vehicle:

New York NarrOwness.

Joe Howard, in Philadelphia Press.
Let us be sensible abouti it. New York cannot
raise unaided a million of dollars for a inonu-
ment, and New York ought to raise its individ-
ual monument precisely as Philadelphia will
hers and Chicago will hers, and doubtless the
cities from one end of the country TO the other.
but in a modest, decent. respectable way. You
see, il would take two hundred rich men com
petent to give a check of S.. 900 each to make a
million, and we haven't got them and we can't
get them. If New York city permits even "a
Brooklynite to contribute 81 to this Grant mon
ument it will be a blot upon its escutcheon; if
it permits a Philadelphia or q San Franciscan
to send a fve-dollar bill it will be a travesty of
metropolitan honor and a disgrace to the chief
city of the continent; but. for all that, in nc
other way can New York raise it. Therefore
when it talks about raising 81. 100000 it is.a
brag, for it won't do it unaided, and if it turns
out that it accepts aid, then isn't my assertion
true that, in some lines. the metropolis is pro-
vincial, and narrow, and smallg

LEAVES OF
An Opinion Bearing on Leaves Granted IL
EMPLOYEES of the Treasury.

An Opinion Bearing on Leaves Granted to
Employees of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Aug ~2L.-Judge McCue, Sole
itor of the Treasury, has given an opinion in re-
gard to leaves of absence to inspectors of Gus
toms. which has a general bearing on leaves
granted to all classes of employees under the
Treasury Department The opinion, which has
been approved by the acting Secretary, is as
follows:
The practice of granting leave Of absence
seems to have grown M in the department serv-
ice without special provision of law, and 1t seems
that custom has fixed the extent Of the leave
at a period not exceeding thirty days,
except for illness or other special reasons, and
no deduction was made from the salary or com
pensation Of the clerk or other employees. The
act of 1853, volume %, Statutes at Large, pages
SOB and 3G4. for the first time. recognizes the IN
written law on this subject. and provides that
ALI absence from the Departments on the part
of said clerks OF other employees in excess of such
leave of absence as may be granted by the heads
thereof, which shall not exceed thirty days in
any one year, except in case of sickness, shall be
without pay 1t is a fair intendment of the
Law therefore, that, having leave Of absence.
and the same not exceeding thirty days, the
clerk or employe shall. during such leave, receive
his usual pay. 1t is to be borne in mind that
the leave is simply permissive, and the head OF
the department has the right to allow the leave
or not, and to what extent within the thirty
days, and that all leaves so granted must be re-
ceived upon the understanding that it is revoca-
bic within the discretion of the head of the de-
partment The best interest of the government
must, therefore. be considered by the head of
the department in determining whether to grant
leave or not. ana whether for thirty days or less;
and the responsibility in relation to the whole
subject-matter rests upon the head of the de-
partnent. I have had occasion to consider the
subject of the payment Of inspectors. and within
the limits and directions therein suggested, [ see
no reason why the rule established by the act of
1853, above referred to, should not apply to in
spectors and night inspectors"

Snake-Hunt in Putnam County.

Special TO the Indianapolis journal
G-REENCAsTI.E, Aug. 27.-The citizens of
Cloverdale and jefferson townships are indulg-
ing in a novel hunt to-day. The game sought
after is nothing less than a monster snake that
has been seen on several occasions during the
summer by perfectly reliable and sober wit
nesses. During harvest it was seen racing
through a wheat field with its head elevated
above the top of the standing grain. Another
time it was seen crossing a road, and by meas
urement of it's track in the dust it was ascer-
tanned to be at least six inches through the body
and about sixteen feet long. Twice since has it
been seen, and all agree as to the immense size
of the reptile. The hunt to-day is organized
like a fox drive. and is participated in by hun
dreds of the people of that section of the county.
This is not intended to compete with the Ripley
county snake story. as the facts above stated
were given Your correspondent by an eye. wit
ness, and whose veracity is vouched for.

Postoffice Appointments Said To Have Been

Postofflce Appointments Said To Have Been
Delayed by Unsympathizins Clerks.
Washington Special.
Some of the Democrats are complaining that
IN the matter of appointments and removals the
Republican subordinates in the departments are
using their opportunities to delay action. A
gentleman who during the past few days has
had business at the Postofice Department gives
a couple of instances which he regards as sus-
picious, to say the least. One Of these is in the
case Of an appointment of q fourth-class post
master where Chief Clerk Fowler delayed the
reference of the papers to acting Post
master-generA Stevenson for three or
four days, after which the matter was
brought to the attention Of the latter by
the party interested. when it received prompt
attention. The other was in reference to an
had papers on file, but brought additional letters
addressed to Mr.. Stevenson. The applicant
first called on Mr.. Jamlson. chief of the railway
mail service, which branch of the postal service
he desired to enter. Mr.. Jamison opened the
letters and glanced at them. but, instead of
returning them to their envelopes. tore UP one
or two of the letters and threw them into his
waste basket, handing the letters to a messenger
to stow away in one of the pigeon-holes. When
it was suggested to him that the letters were
addressed TO Mr.. Stevenson, and that the latter
should see them and act upon them, Jamison
said it would make no difference, as they would
be sent back TO him TO he filed.
The letters. however. were taken to Mr.. Ste
venSon by the applicant, who was assured that
his case would receive the personal attention of
the acting Postnastergeneral.

A Flat Denial from Mr.. Dickerson.

WAsHINGToN. Aug. 27.-Mr. Dickerson, late
superintendent of the Pension Building, arrived
in the city tonight, and denies emphatlcally
that there is any foundation forthe charges made
against him. He says he has bills in his pos
session Cor every foot of lumber, every yard
of carpet and every piece of furniture in his
house at Colonial Beach. He deies proof of the
allegations against him.. He says that the
trouble is that the new officials do not know
where to find the materials. and that he will,
when called upon. point them out to them.
1t is stated that Mr.. Dickerson was in no way or
manner employed in the construction of the new
Pension Building, and had no connection with
the Pension Office pay-rolls. The reports con-
corning the irregularities appear to have been
considerably macnifed.

Strike on the g., C. s. 5. IF. Railway.

GALVESTON, Aug. PA general strike among
the machinists, carpenters and laborers in the
shops and yards along the line of the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe railroad, took place at noon
to-day, an order to that effect having been issued
by the Grand Council of the Knights of Labor,
applying to all the lines the work
men on which had q just cause Of
grievance. The Santa Fe road was included in
the class of corporate offenders, on the ground
that the men employed on the line received less
pay than those working for the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company, and that they had
not been honestly dealt with. In
this city an attempt was made to
prevent the departure of the evening passenger
train by blocking up the track. The police, how
ever. interferei and removed the obstruction
without opposition. The trains are now running
as usual, and thus far the effects
of the strike have not been percepti-
bly, felt. At Fort Worth and other
prominent points on the road, the strike was
general. The condition of affairs at that place
looks serious, and though the railway officials
appear to treat the matter lightly. the indications
are that they will be forced to accept the strikers
terms.
