A Washington telegram of a recent date says; "The appointment yesterday ol
 H. NJ. Dixon. of Mississippi. as cade, al large to West Point, brought to.light a sad family history. probably without parallel in the tragic features which marks II. The appointment was secured by the young mans grand mother. Mrs Annie
 Dixon. who told the following sto, , which was verified hy records in Wash ington. Mrs Dixon is the widow oi Major Henry T. Dixon, the only man in Fauquier cuunty. Virginia, who voted for Lincoln for president m 1860. He had to send to Washington for bal
 lot, which be deposited in the box
 with his left hand and a cooked revol-
 yer in his right He had been warned that forty men had sworn 10 kill him if he voted for Lincoln. Some tune aftervard he went to Alexandria, Vm- ginia. on business to be gone two days
 After he had gone friend informed
 Mrs Dixon that her husband would he shot on the depo, platform as he ahght- ed from the cars if he returned. She telegraphed her husband not to return home. and he did not see home again for four years. He served through the war, was one of the defenders of the capital, and was afterward commis- stoned as paymaster. During the war Mrs Dixon suffer ed much persecu- tion and was several tines taken prisoner Their property was destroyed and six weeks after the war closed Major Dixon was assassinated by an ex-confederate officer being shot in the back. The family was left in dest,- ute circumstances. and at the request of General Grant. who was acquainted with the circumstances. Postmaster General Randall gave the widow em
 ployrnent in this department. After about ten years of service she left 1t and is now old and feeble, penniless and without a home Her son Henry M. Dixon. went south during the war, a mere boy, and married in Mississippi at the age Of eighteen, his wife being a native of that state. He opposed the democratic ticket at his home in Yazoo City in 1879 and was warned by mob to leave town. This he refused to do and in August 1879. he was shot down from hehind as his father before him was. His ~lfe did not long survive him, and six small children were thus bereft of their parents care and love. It was for the eldest of these, named for his father, that Mrs Dixon asked the ap- pointment Accompanying the appli- cation was a package of papers tha, were mutely eloquent. One of them was letter taken from the hip pocket Of Henry M Dixon, through which the fatal bullet had cut its deadly way; another was letter from the widow to the widowed mother, full of tenderness and pathos. These with the rest were referred to Secretary Proctor, who was IS deeply touched as the president, who determined to appoint the boy if here vas a place for him.

Oklahoma aoomars.

CALDWELL, Kan, April IS-The Ok
 lahoma excitement is at it's height here
 to-day. It is almost impossible to gel
 along the streets, as the crowd is SC
 dense. Five hundred wagons were es- timated to have arrived to-day. while reports If those to come tomorrow will

 WELLINcroN. Kan.. April IS.-The stream of prairie schooners moving southward has not diminished. The streets ot the city are filled with boom CTS, ard they continue to pour in from the north, west and east. Frequently from six to twelve wagons and teams are included in one outfit Such emi- grafton has never before been witnessed in this se-tion. Old settlers, familiar with the Cimarron river, which all settlers on entering Oklahoma from the north must cross. say it's waters are very high and t is as much as a mans life IS worth 10 cross 1t in its swollen cond,- tior. Its bed is composed in a large part, of shifting quicksands, and where safe crossing can he made to-day, to- morrow in all probability the same place would be a death trap. Many parties who intended to go from here wish teams will go by rail. being fearful of serious accident in fording the river.

The Flagstaff Champion contains .
 two and half column article aimed at the JouRNAL-MINER in reference to
 Coconino county. This is more space
 than the JouRNAL-MIsER has devoted
 to that question altogether. As Coco nino county is a dead issue at present we decline to enter into further dis
 cussion on the subject with the Cham pion although this esteemed contempo-
 rary gives us very good opening in sev-
 eral places m the article. Prescott people
 worked for their own interest in the mat
 ter and Flagstaff people worked for what they considered theirs Instead of discussing in bitterness and malice the
 past, we suggest to our friends in the
 northeastern part of the county that they
 select few conservative men to confer withs similar ones from other parts of the county in regard to the formation of a new county on just and equitable basis. While the Champion in its arti-
 cle speaks very bitterly of the people of Prescott for opposing Coconino. it seems to forget that every candidate from that section, except probably MT. Rogers. expressed themselves opposed to county division before election. Coconino bill was. prepared without con sulting the balance Of the county. Nov we stand on county division just as we always have. While there are extrem-
 ists on the subject in Prescott just as there are in Flagstaff, there is large element who concede that there is jus tice in the request of the people of Flagstaff and that section for a new county. Let an effort be made by con- servative business men, and men of in- tellisence. of, both sections to agree amicably on boundary lines. and the pro rata of indebtedness of the two counties. If such an agreement can be arrived st new county can be formed without costing either section anything. Let peaceable and friendly efforts be made first, and these failing it will be time enough to talk of the tail making the dog yelp."

 The democratic party eannot.ges it. self reconoiled to consistency in regard to the hold-over session of the legisla- lure. So far as the appointment of ter ritorial officials is concerned, they agree that it was not legal body, while many of them having a direct in- terest in the appropriation bill are more than willing to concede that as far as the passage of that act vas concerned 1t was all right. In other words it was legal body for revenue only. The only hopes they can have, however, of ever realizing from the latter IS through the newly appointed republican officials.
 Fl Paso democrats have threatened to defeat the will of the people as ex- pressed at the polls in that city. by count ing out the republicans elected to office.

AT PHILADELPHIA.


CHICAGO, July 27.-At q meeting of the
Transcontinental association to-day, fur
Their endeavor was made to compromise the
difficulty between the Southern and Cana
dian Pacific on the question of differeutials
claimed by the latter ON California bust
ness. The Southern Pacific announced as
the ultimatum that it would accept no
compromise whatever and would only re
scind its notice of withdrawal from the as
sociation upon WAIVER of all differentiai
claims by the Canadian Pacific 1t is not
believed the Canadian Pacific win accede
to these terms, and the general impression
in railway circles is that the association is
doomed to disruption.
1t is supposed that the ultimGtum of the
Southern Pacific in which it recedes from
it's compromise offer of limited ditferentials
made yesterday is the result of the slashinc-
cut on snaboard rates made by the Denver
& Fort Worth road YESTERDAY.

New YORK, July 27.-The trustees OF the
North American Salt company authorize
the following: While subscriptions have
been very numerous and in the aggregate
good the trustees feel they are not justified
in proceeding to an allotment OF the shares
on the present basis without further con-
ference with the subscribers and vendors.
This is on account of the subscribers
being on both sides of the Atlantic and
the vendors widely separated and it will
take time TO reach them, and so it has
been decided to return to subscription and
postpone further action until these nego-
tiatiOns can he completed.
