But we do not see how we help pul-ting it, when Mr. Mulhattan, of Washington, writes to us, not on the 1st hut on the of April, to assure us that there is living in tliat town a true and lawful "son of George Washington, aged one hundred and three years." For Mr.

Mulhattan informs us that this interesting centenarian is the son of the Father of his Country by a lady whom he married "in the summer of 1773," at Fort Duquesne, and upon the very spot "where the freight depot of the Pennsylvania railroad now stands." And yet veracious history tells us that George Washington had been already married on the 17th of January, 1759, to Mrs. Martha Custis. We decline to indict the founder of the repubhc for bigamy in this centennial year. KET. DR.

MUHLENBERG. Funeral Services Over the Remains of Author of "I Would Not Live Alway" Resolutions of the New York Presbytery. the New York, April 11. The funeral services over the remains of RevI Dr. Muhlenberg were held this afternoon in the chapel in St.

Luke's Hospital. Bishop Potter conducted the services, and Bishop Kerfoot pronounced the eulogy. Many other of the clergy were in attendance. It was supposed that Dr. Muhlenberg's hymn, "I would not live alway," would be sung at the sen-ice, but the doctor requested that it should not be, and that in its stead the hymn, "Hear what the voice from heaven says," should be used.

He further requested that no music should be played upon the occasion. Every phase of the proceedings was conducted in the most unostentatious manner, not even a flower being visible. This was strictly in accordance with the wishes of Dr. Muhlenberg. The remains were taken to St.

MADE A Senator Patterson of South Carolina, told the President He Had, But the Latter Doesn't Think So. Washington, April 12. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, informed the president yesterday he thought he (the president) had made mistake in his course toward that state. The president replied it waa an experiment, but from the representations received and pledges made by Governor Hampton and subsequent developments, there was reason to believe it would be successful.

The senator said he would as soon have Hampton as Chamberlain for governor provid ed his accession to that office should bring prosperity to the state and Hampton should treat all citizens alike and provide means for a fair election as he promised to do In a conversation to-day, Senator Patterson remarked that not as a Representative, but be- Ji-viug in tim right of instruction, if the Legislature of South Carolina should instruct him to vote in favor of Butler or any other Democrat to the Senate he would do so, and besides he would vote for the admission of Democratic Senators from Louisiana. This would interfere with his republicanism, but his action would be based on the ground that a state ought to be represented according to the wishes of the people as represented in their state government. It can be stated on authority that the president made no bargain whatever with or promised to Chamberlain as a condition of his retiring from the governorship. BEXXETT-MAil The Principals and Accessories in the Duel to be Indicted. Washington, April 10.

The grand jury of Caroline county, Maryland, has been charged to investigate the Mar-Bennett duel, and to in dict the principals and accessories, if the jury shall find that that bloodless affair occurred (as it did) in that county. A Statement From County Commissioner Palmer. Minneapolis, April 13, 1877. To the Editor of The Minneapolis Tribune. Among the items of outdoor relief in the Hennepin county financial statement there are one or more accounts which may seriously misrepresent individuals in connection with whose names they appear, placing them, ap parently in the attitude of recipients of coun ty aid.

In the instances referred to, the account originated in and was wholly due to an abatement by the county board of penalties on de linquent taxes. Abatement was made as a matter of risht. and in the instances referred to the relief account in justice to the individu als should properly be indicated as an account of abatement of tax penalties. The oretroing statement I deem as simply just to any who through the method of making up the county accounts are apparently placed in a false position by ciassincauon unuer the head of the relief account JjJ R. Palmeb, County Commissioner.

Why Chamberlain Has Not Been Assassi nated. N. Y. Cor. Chicago Journal.

Governor Chamberlain said to a friend of mine who was traveling south a few weeks since, that he would have been assassinated long since were it not that the whites know that Columbia would bum to asnes tne oay to that jg taken.

Herein lies tne satety ot tne blacks themselves the Jmowieuge or tne iaci that thev intend to letaliab? with the torch if the whites persecute them. Should ade Hampton become governor and the whites make war upon the blacks, every city and village in South Carolina will, if need be, be destroyed by the negro as a retaliatory mejasure.

A- very complete investigation proves that the alleged outrage on the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad upon Mrs. Geo. Watson, so widely telegraphed, was a figment of the lady's disordered imagination.

It is now known that she was seized at Davenport with hysterics or some nervous disorder, for which no one else was r- ponsible, and was bent upon hurting herself or her fellow passengers, and that only by the Watchfulness of Conductors Glaspell and Davis she was prevented from throwing herself from the ax.

Minneapolis is just finishing her hew fus- pension bridge, spanning Uie JUiSsissappi, hich, in dimension, and beauty, surpasses all similar structures in the northwest. The foun dation is now being prepared for the erection of her new Mnsic Hall, a building that will be without a rival for architectural beauty and seating capacity among all the public balls west of Chicago and north of St. Louis. During the past season the Milwaukee railroad erected within the city the finest depot in the state.

Her public buildings and improvements of all kind are keeping pace with her rapid growth and importance as the metropolis of the Northwestern country, except that there is still no move being made by the Commissioners of Hennnpin county to provide a centrally located and convenient Court House, which is at present the most urgent of all our needs in this direction- THE HAY DEALERS. A Buyer After Them With a Sharp Stick. To the Editor of The Minneapolis Tribune. Recently I went to the hay market to buy some hay. One load taking my fancy, I inquired the weight and price and to my astonishment learned there was over pounds on the wagon.

The weigher's certificate was produced in proof, yet still it hardly seemed possible that it could be correct, the load looked so smalL I said to the man, "Where was this weighed?" "In North Minneapolis." "Well, I like your hay and will take it at the price named if you will drive on to these scales here and have it weighed over. I will pay you for the weighing." "No sir," said he, "It has been weighed once, and that is enough. I don't have my loads weighed over twice." "But" said "it will cost you nothing, and if you are honest, and have the weight you claim, you ought to be willing for my satisfaction to have it weighed over." No amount of persuasion could induce him to do this, which plainly showed that there was a 'nigger in the wood-pile" somewhere. Since then I have been making some inquiries, and desire to show up one of the tricks, at least, of the hay trade. A man drives up to the scales, say in North Minneapolis, and his load is weighed.

It tips the scales at 2,800. "My tare is 800," sings out the driver. "All right," says the weigher, and 800 pounds is deducted from the load, which foots up 2,000, net. I Now, the wagon may weigh 1,050, and the man 200 more, and thus the innocent buyer is swindled out of 450 pounds in his bargain. I say swindled, for it is nothing else, and a man who knows says this is a common trick of the trade.

He has known of instances where from 100 to 500 pounds was stuck on the load in this way. We have a wood inspector and why not public weigher The mass of the dealers in hay are doubtless nonest, but thejfew tncny ones are sufficient to demand a iuat ioverseer for the whole, and this is one of the things the new council ought to see about. Moral When a man won have his load re- weighed look out for him. Buyeb. CINX'IXXATI EXCURSION, Arrival at Memphis and Sundry Speeches as a matter oi course.

The engines have been withdrawn from the ruins of the Southern Hotel and operations are being made to put men at work at various points and make a thorough search for the bodies. It is apprehended that several of the female domestics of the house are buried beneath the debris as a number of them have' not yet reported to the proprieiors and no account has been received of them.

It now seems quite probable that H. J. Clark, wife and child, were among the killed. Mrs. Scott, who was reported dead yesterday, -was still alive at a late hour last night, but there is no hope cf her recovery.

KATE CXAITON lost everything she possessed and is suffering from nervous prostration. Her escape from the building was attended with great difficulty and much suffering from the smoke and fright. Miss Fannie McClellan is in a very critical condition. She jumped from the fourth story to the roof of a one-story saloon adjoining the hotel and sustained a severe concussion of the brain and spinal cord. She also has a badly cut face and head, two penetrating wounds in the groin, a fractured rib, and several minor hurts.

With them marched THE LAST HTXDBAJTCE to the 6way of Hampton.

There were many here of both parties who desired the fight to go on. Nevertheless, after an anxious consultation with all the state officers elected with him, and leading republicans from all parts of the state, Gov. Chamberlain dptermined to let the act of to-day close the struggle reallv as it did practically. Urgent advice from Washington and other parts of the country came to himlto act defiantly and to embarrass the southern question by a resistance even if it should be futile. He gives bis reasons to the contrary in paper sent by the Associated Press.

HAMPTON WILL TAKE POSSESSION to-morrow at noon. The case of the state officers is still in the supreme court on quo warranto. What will be done with them yet certain. Some of the democrats want to go and eject the republicans at once, but Hampton is said to consider himself pledged to oppose this. It is understood that Hampton will at once issue a proclamation announcing his undisputed possession of the office, and calling the legislature to meet about May 1.

Organized under his auspices, it will have a democratic majority on joint ballot. A new chief justice will be elected, and SHORT WOEK WILL BE MADE of the remaining legal difficulties, election for United States senator will A new also be had, and Gen. M. C. Butler, of Hamburg, will doubtless be aain the choice of the democ racy.

The action of Gov. Chamberlain took the democrats by surprise to-day, as all reports since his return from Washington were to the effect that he would resist to the bitter end. There is a profound depression among the colored people, accompanied with an apparent inability to comprehend the situation or believe in the possibility of Hayes deserting them. They believe that in some way he i3 deceived. OMAHA.
