SCDt 28. BY TUIMI'M. AFTERNOON DISPATCHES. THE AFGHAN WAR iug whether other political issues had not better be placed in abeyance till it i ascertained, with a tolerable degree of certainty, whether there has been a war and, if there has been one, what was the subject of the dispute, and with which side the victory remained. The Advance on Cabul- Our dispatches from Simla today, report that the Ameer of Afghanistan, Yakoob Khan, has sought protection of the Brit ish, his own troops having become mutin ous beyond possibility or reclamation The Viceroy is now making rapid prepa rations to advance on Cabul, tbe ap proaches to which stronghold are report ed to be covered by a large Afghan army and it is said in Indian army circles that the British force issuing from Kyber paS9 must needs be a strong one, as it will have to protect the right flank of the Shutargarcian column aud also clear the road from Kyber to Cabul and establish a line of communication for troops in the latter town, when Snutargardan is block ed bv snow.

The British troops are divided into three groups, the most northern of which is echeloned along the main highway, which runs through Kyber pass to Jelallabad. The most ad vanced brigade of this group is sta tioned at Lundi-Koial, about one hundred aud forty miles from Cabul. This center group is stationed in the Kuram vailey, with its advance guard on tbe summit of Snutargardan pass, about fifty miles from Cabul, and the third group is assembled about Candahar, three hundred miles from Cabul. The last force wilt not assist in the direct advance on Cabul, but suppress insurrection among the native tribes in the surrounding country. It consists of a battalion and a half of British infantry, twenty-one and a halt battalions of native infantry, two regiments of cavalry and three batteries of artillery, under command of Gen.

Pollizsk, in Candahar, with four and a half battalions of infantry, a regiment of cavalry and two bat teries of artillery at Pisheen, about one hundred and twenty miles southeast of Candahar. The direct assault on Cabul will be mule by the column descending from S'uitargardan pass. Miles Kkhoe, a prominent Irish Democrat in Chicago, who was a candidate for member of Congress last year, and has served one term as State Senator, has become disgusted with his party; he proposes to bid adieu to his life-long political associates, and join thi Republicans. In an interview with an Evening Journal reporter, he gives good and sufficient rea-sors for his change of sentiment. He has become satisfied that the Democratic professions of friendship for his countrymen go only so far as to catch votes; he denies that the parly has ever done anything to benefit the Irish working-man; he declares that the Southern lead ers ef the party are a set of arrogant aristocrats; that it was for State rights that the rebels fought; that the Democratic party is still howling for State rights, and he is disgusted with the hypocrisy and deceit of the party upon the Slavery question.

He claims that the Republicans are and always have been better and more liberal-minded towards the Irish people then the Democrats, and he is certain that there are thousands of Irishmen who will this fall assert thiir independence of the Democratic party. While in the Legislature, he procured the passage of laws designed by him to protect the ballot-box from fraud, but his brother Demo crats condemned him for getting the bills passed, because the ballot box could not then be stufled. That, he thinks, is the kind of reward a man gets from that party for being honest. He is particularly severe upon Mayor Harrison, and says everybody looks upon that functionary as political fraud. It is evident that Mr.

Kesok is in earnest, and that he will take with him a large number of his countrymen who have heretofore been solid for the Democracv. Agricultural Interests in Russia. The St. Petersburg Golos, of Saturday, in reviewing the agricultural interests of Russia, says that the principal export, grain, has fallen off considerably from the amount of last year, for during the first six months ot 1S78 15.813.000 Quarters were exported, but this year only 000 quarters, a difference of 2,681,00 quar" ters, or 12 per cent. Oa the other hand' imports are considerably larger than those of la8t year, making the balance still more unfavorable.

In a few districts the Russian harvest is good, in most it is mid dling. In Kien district, generally a fer- tile one, the harvest is very bad, and the price of grain has risen accordingly. Last year a poud, or about thirty English pounds of wheat cost eighty copecks (seven cents), and a pound of rye from forty-five to fifty copecks. This year prices are for a poud of wheat, twenty-five copecks and seventy-five for a poud of rye, and these high prices are expected to increase. Farmers are suffering much loss from the cattle plague, chiefly because efficacious precautions are not observed.

If a plague breaks out, the whole of the cattle in the village are driven together, th8 mass of cattle being thus infected. They are immediately driven to neighboring markets and sold before dying for what they will fetch. At an early hour Thursday morning a barkeeper, on entering the saloon of Wie-a and Schenck, No. 1, Grand Avenue, Milwaukee, to enter upon his duties for the day, encountered a burglar In the act of helping himself to valuables, and, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in carrying him to the police station. The burglar gave the name of Alexander Popolo8ky, and stated lhat he was a barber by occupation.

He afterwards proved to be a Swede named Robert Wickltjkd, but recently arrived from Chicago. Mr. Francis Parkham, the learned. grave and philosophic historian, opposes woman's suffrage in an article appearing in the last North American Review. To all intelligent persons who are not blinded by a stolid and impenetrable partisan prejudice, it is obvious that the political situation in the South is but little, if any, in advance, of what it was immediately preceding the rebellion.

A spirit of intolerance and political pro scription reigns there which has few par allels iu the history of civilization Polit icai assassinations are of too common occurrence, and the perpetrators and their accomplices not only escape unpunished, but unrebuked. The. constitutional amendments which were intended to guar anty a recognition ot the rights of all per sons are to a great extent disregarded and nullified. The condition of the colon race is rendered more Intolerable in many respects than when they were in absolute bondage, and there seems to be no power or disposition to redress their grievances or protect them in their rights. This state of things is becoming so notorious that it is arousing the old feeling which ani mated the best and most patriotic! portion ot the Northern Democracy at the breaking out of the The murder of the Chisolms, of Dixon, and of hundreds of colored men, purely upon political grounds; the shooting of revenue officers and postmasters while in the performance of their official duties, and because they are performing the duties required o( ihern by the government, is beginning to open the eyes ot all fair-minded men to a full recognition of the alarming state of alTairs at the South.

That we are not. mistaken and do not mlsreprtsent in this matter is shown not only by the political reaction which is going on in the Northern States, but by the outspoken opinions ot the independ- ent press. This latter demonstration is beoom.ug moro and injre conspicuous and marked every day. We have pub lished many exiracts from the Boston Herald, the Philadelphia Times and other independent and non-partisan papers to show this. But we have not seen a stronger or truer statement of the situa tion than is coutaioed iu the last number of the Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph, edit ed by E.

A. Calkins. Before the war, the Colonel was a Democrat of the straightest sect, but he did not let his politics override his patriotism; he was among the thousands of patriotic war-Democrats who joined the Union army to prevent our threatened national disinte gration. i is a Democrat still, but the following able and outspoken article from his pen shows that he is not ot the Bourbon stamp which proposes to ignore the issues supposed to have been set at rest by the war and to nulify the results of that gigantic contest. Uudar the caption which heads this article he says: There are indications that the war-Democrats of 1863 and 1864 in this State are beginning to thii that a condition of affairs exists in the country which is not altogether unlike that which existed when they ODCe before adopted a separate and decided course of political action, and assumed their distinctive appellation.

Tho state of things is such that all but the mere form of slavery exists in the south there is no mure loyalty in the Southern Slatts than there was when iba rebellion was a', its hight, aud the systematic, determined, continued and ruthless assaults the south on the established results of the war, constitute causes for the gravest apprehensions. In fact, from a look at the south and at home, it would remain to a superficial observer, except for the thousands of maimed veterans all around us, a matter of doubt whether the war had been fought at all. The utter and incomprehensible fatuity of the ex rebels is a matter of profound astonishment. Their arrogant attempts at Cong resa ion domination, the impudence of their claims and attimie, the contempt and hate lor the North which they do not attempt to conceal, their shot gun and Kn Klnx policies, their terrorism and murders, are making it impossible for the Democrats to carry a Northern elec tion, and difficult to vote the same ticket that they do and preserve self respect. The sentiments of a vast majority of Northern Democrats were expressed by George W.

Peck, in his universally read iSui newspaper, when he said that if the murderers of Judge Chisolm and hie daughter should be acquitted, it would be a good reason for a man to refuse to ever again vote the Democratic ticket. Mr. Peck, though a popular and successful professional humorist, is a man of ripe judgment and acknowledged sagacity. As a Union soldier, he no doubt felt exactly what he said, although he was a prominent delegate to the late Democratic State Convention, and was one of its officers, ne has closely observed, also, the sentiments of the pe pie at large, and he but framed into apt and timely word3 the thoughts which occupied thousands of minds. Mr.

Jenkins and his associates upon the Democratic ticket of this State are excellent men, and if it was a mere matter of conducting the State government, there would be little or nothing to choose between them and their opponents But every Democratic victoiy gained at the north appears to have been the signal and encouragement for new aggressions, new ou'rages and new atrocities by the ex-rebels of the south. These victories in a few States have been gained by the great-est sacrifices, the most arduous endeavors; and especially by pledges to the people of the north that the south would be peaceful, would scrupulously adhere to the settlements of the war, and would guard the institutions of freedom which it established and lhat they would deal with the negro in a spirit of enlightened humanity. Then, when, by such means, the northern Democrats have gained a new victory or confirmed an old one, the southern bravos and ruffians have appeared to consider it as a warrant for again coming out and thooting some Union mm or Republican neighbor, federal official, or for Ku-Kluxinga negro settlement. These courses have made Democratic victories fewer instead of plentier, and are likely to cause them to disappear altogether. They have a tend eDcy to create considerable doubt in tbe minds ot many people wbo have been voting the Democratic ticket, whether it is best to try to elect Mr.

Jenkins or not. It is certain lhat the Liberal Republicans of 1872 and the Republican Reformers of 1873, have all deserted the Democratic party in consequence of the results at me outn ot Uemocratic victo nes at the North. It is equally true that Republican Greenbackers, who have sought to break up their party, and to form a new one, have been compelled to witnaraw back into tbeir parry lines by the uprising of the rebel spirit at the South at every prospect of a Republican defeat at me ixortn. The War Democrats oi this State will Lac Railroad. The Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Rail.

road has been sold to the Chicago and Northwestern Company, and it will un doubtedly be extended from Princeton to Elroy, or some point further north, on the Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis road, early next season. The Northwestern Company has been restless for some time under its lack of direct connection with Milwaukee from the west, and a number of schemes have been projected for a better connection, the "Lodi extension" being the one most talked about, although there seemed to be a very strong probability, at one time, thai the connection would be made at Madison. The pur chase of the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac road, however, will have the effect to de feat, probably forever, all of these pro jects. The Sheboygan road has been in a bad way, financially, for a long time.

Its earnings have not greatly exceeded its expenses, its interest has been unpaid, and there have been no dividends on its stock. The track was getting badly worn, and the necessary repairs could not be mad out of its earnings. It could not be extended as an independent road to aiy point that would make it profitable, and its sale became almost a matter of neces sity. As an adjunct to Ue Northwestern road, it will become an important thoroughfare. While none of the terms of sale have been made public, it is probable that the road will be placed in the mortgage given to the bondholders of the Northwestern Li ion (the road from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac) instead of the road from Iron Ridge to Lodi, which the company had obligated itself to build.

Indeed, the de of the bondholder of the North western Union, to ha7e the Lodi branch built according to agreement, has probably hastened the purchase of the Sheboy gan road under an agreement with the bondholders of the Northwestern Union to accept It as security for their loan in stead of the promised Lodi extension. We have reterred iu the past, to tho ong time it took the Democrats to take the hint that Mr. Jenkins would accept he nomination for Governor. There may be a better reason for ever taking the hint, than is generally known to the pub ic. It was a "barrel" the Democrats were seeking, and it was very hard to give up Mitchell, who is known to possess tbe barrel well filled; and when they must give him up, it was difficult to And a can- idate with the necessary barrel.

It was nnlly ascertained that Jambs G. Jenkins was an ol i college mate and very intimate friend of Smith M. Weed's, of Now York, and Weed is known to have access to the Tilden barrel. The inference is atural that these facts seemed to lead more directly to the barrel than anything else that was presented; therefore, Mr Jenkins was made the candidate, and was all at once discovered to be the very best man in the State for Governor, by the Democratic State Central Committee. His nomination was the best progress towards the barrel that could be found; and it is quite probable that the Tilden barrel, through the efforts of Smith Weed, the great Tilden disburser, and the intimate personal friend of Jenkins, will be opened for the benefit of the Wisconsin Democracy during the present campaign.

If it should not elect Jenkins as it surely will not it might be the means of securing Tilden delegates in the next Democratic National Convention, a thing quite desirable in the present condition of affairs. Then look out lor the opening of the Tilden barrel Senator Beck, of Kentucky, has been talking, in Milwaukee, with one of the editors of the Madison Democrat, and is represented by the latter person as having unbosomed himself politically, in the course ot the interview. The Senator, while frankly admitting the lawless course of the Democratic party in the South," and profoundly deploring the disgrace of such proceedings as the Yazoo difficulty," concluded this unbosoming process by asserting: Bat there is far less of this outlawry each year, and it will only be a short time when there will be no cause lor complaint from any qaaner. Which, in plain English, means that as the Republicans become fewer in number in the South that as the decimating pro-cess of the shot-gun and bowie progresses, there will be less and less material upon which outlawry will be called to exercise its terrors that "it will only be a short time," when Democracy will reign bu-preme and undisturbed, south of Mason and Dixon's line, and there being no more Republicans to kill oft, "there will be no cause for complaint" thereafter. This is bringing about peace and harmony, with a vengeance peace may easily be maintained in a solitude, harmony can readily be restored when the throat of the opposition is cut.

The acute political philosopher, Tacitus, appreciated the situation, eighteen centuries ago, when he wrote: "Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsi 8 nominibus imperium; atque ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant." General Grant went to inspect H. M. 8. Pinafore, for the first time, in San Francisco, Saturday night. He had read an heard more or less of the jaunty little operatic vessel, upon his foreign tour, but Saturday evening was his first experience in witnessing it.

The theatre was crowded. Frank Ungeb played the "Admiral," and Emilie Melville, "Josephine." After "Sir Joseph" had sang his familiar story, he was so loudly applauded that, removing his hat and turning to the Grants' mezzanino box to his left, he sang: And now, as the ruler of the Queen's navee, I am pleased our honored guest to see, ho has sailed the briney ocean o'er. But has never seen the good ship Pinafor. He's the only man in the world, do you see, That has never met the ruler of tbe Queen's navee. Whereat the audience applauded enthusiastically, and Mrs.

Grant smiled. THE OFFICIAL STATE PAPER. Xnttred at the Tot Office at Madison, a ttcona-aan matttr. REPUBLICAN TICKET, For Governor WILLIAM K. SMITH, of milwaukee.

Isaac Adams is dead! He died at his residence in Cottage Grove, on the 28th inst. II is health has been failing for some time, and death comes as a relief to his suffering. Some two years ago, a dearly beloved daughter of Mr. Adams died, and this death was a severe shock to her father, and his nervous system has never recovered from it. Mr.

Adams was an old and highly esteemed resident of Dane county; has been one of its most energetic citizens, and was universally respected by all who were favored with an acquaintance witd him. Hon. Isaac Adams was born in Vernon. Oneida county, New York, April 19, 1323 He received the advantages of a common school and academic education, and adopted as the business for life, the occupation of a farmer. He came to Wiscon- sin in 1853, and settled in Cottage Grove, where he has ever since resided, except in for about one year he was at Beaver Dam.

He has often been elected to town offices Supervisor, Justice of the Peace, though his town was politically strongly opposed to him. He was enrolling officer of his town during the late war. He represented his district in the Assem-; bly in the years 1807 aDd 1875, and ranked among the very best members of that body. He was always in Lis place, active in work, and sound in his views on all matters pertaining to the best interests of the State. No man can leave a purer or cleaner record, as a public officer, than Isaac Adams has done.

As a citizen and neighbor, Mr. Adams was deservedly very popular. He was a hard-working, zealous man in all proper undertakings; doing his full share in promoting the interests of the people. He possessed excellent judgment, and a mind wholly free from malice. Kindness was a prominent feature in his character, as all his neighbors know full well.

As a farmer, he was successful, and pursued his calling with intelligence and energy. His life has been a blessing to his family and friends, and a benefit to the State and county of his adoption; and his death is a severe affliction to his family and a great loss to the county. He lived a pure and upright life, and has died, leaving no enemy behind him. His proverbial goodness was acknowledged by all who knew him and his death, in the prime of life, will be deeply lamented by hosts ol lriends in all parts of the State. Mr.

Adams was a brother of Hon. B. F. Adams, of Madison. Specie Imports.

The imports of specie from the old world to this country, for the past week, have aggregated $8,577,542. The total imports since the beginning of the year foot up the nice little sum of $39,730,402. About a fourth part of this is in silver, and of the gold, a large proportion is of American coinage which went across the water to pay the former balances of trade against us and the interest upon our foreign-held bonds. This flow of specie Westward must continue to be heavy, at least for a year to come but by the great law of demand and supply, there must at length be an end to it. The international walking match, for the Astley champion belt and gate money closed Saturday night in New York.

The official score is as follows: Rowell, 530 miles; Merritt, 515 miles; Hazael, 500 Hart, 482 miles; Gnyon, 471 miles; Weston, 455 miles; Ennis, 450 miles; Krohne, 450" miles; Taylor, 250 miles. Rowell is the English champion from whom Weston won the belt in the late London contest. Commissioners of New York State and Canada have been in consultation at Niagara Falls, the past few days, for the purpose of devising some plan to prevent the destruction of the natural scenery of the Falls. The subject will be more fully discussed at a future meeting. The Sturgeon Bay and Like Michigan ship canal is proving a decided success There are eleven feet of water throughout, and heavily-freighted vessels are going through daily, by the wholesale; they thus save ten hours over the old route, by the way of the Door." A Are broke out in the rear of Lows block this morning, and spread to several large wooden buildings in the vicinity which were all nearly destroyed.

Bel-knapp's Church was slightly damaged. Total Joss, insurance, REBUILDING, AT DEADWOOD. Deadwood, Sept. 28 The city has presented an unusually active appearance yesterday and to-day, the flames and smoke having cleared away enough to allow the mass of ruins to be cleared, and the erection of tents and email wooden shanties, of which there have been from 75 to 1C0 put up. Almost every class ol business is represented on Main aiid Sherman streets, ami all are having an immense rush of custom, although prices have not advanced, except in a very few instances where the demand for some articles was greater than the supply and the advance has been slight.

All lue daily papers are issuing on small sheets, being struck off at Lad City. They contain little else than fire news Lumber is being hauled by every available team in the vicinity and bringing forty six dollars per thousand; the mills! are running night ai.d day, but not enu can be brought in to supply the enormous demand. Some had shanties erected in live hours from the tune of the outbreak. All yesterday telegrams poured in, ofler-ing stocks of goods, money, clotning. food, but as yet nothing but r- ehandi.se has been accepted So relief committee has been organizd yet, aud probabiy there will be none.

People who are bankrupt and homeless, do not want to accept aid from the outside worn. Merchants and others are very generous and willing to stand their tdiare ol the burden. At a meeting of the members of the bar yesterday, resolutions were passed, ask- ng Judge Moody to remain here instead of attending the October teim of the Supreme Court at Yankton, so lhat in case his services are needed, he would be al hand. The Supreme Court will nrob- ably adjourn a few weeks until the City is partially rebuilt, and quiet re stored. Losses in addition to those previously telegraphed, are: Northwestern Stage Company, Russell's billiard hall, William Brown, cigars, tobacco and rii arms, Black Hills Brew- cry, 000; Gibbs, S.one furniture, $7,500.

The General replied in the affirmative, and an hour later a message came trom Ameer Yakoob Khan himself, asking Gen. Boker to re ceive him.

The General responded by saying that he would meet the Ameer one miie lrom the camp. "The Ameer, his and father-in-law. Gen.

The Republique Francaise publishes the following, under reserve: "Lord Salisbury during his recent interview with Wad-dington, assured him that England would endeavor to' obtain the unconditional cession of Jauina to Greece." TJ. S- Supreme Court Cases- Washington, Sept.

28. The Attorney General was obliged to leave the Presidential party at Cincinnati a few days ago, to leturn to Washington to make preparations for the Supreme Court, which is to sit on the of Ocio ber. The cases before it, so tar the United States is concerned, at the opening, are of peculiar importance. Among those is a petition for mandamus against Judge Rivers, of the Western D.stnct ot Virginia, who removed into the United States Court, tbe cases of two colored men indicted for murder, upon the ground they were prevented from having any colored men upon the jury als a case of habeas corpus on behalf of two judges of the State courts of Vir-ginin, who have been indicted in the the United States Court for preventing colored men from sitting upon juries, in addition to one from West Virginia, which Slate has passed a law excluding colored men from serving on juries. Tl ere is also a case ot a revenue officer auo.

a question of the constitutionality of the law authorizing such removal, to be discussed, as weil as the manner in winch the trial is to proceed, after the transfer into the United States Court. Theie are also two cases involving the constitutionality of the election laws, which are brought up by iiabeas corpus one from thedistiict ot Maryland, involving the technicality ot punishment of five judges of election in thdt State, and the other from the district of Ohio, in connection with those which may be termed political eases. There are also three others to be heard later in the term, involving the constitutionality of the civil rights act entitling negroes to equal accommodation at theatres, inns, etc. There are also three cases of commercial importance, involving the constitutionality of the United Slates trade mark laws; first, as they affect foreign nations with whom we have treaties, and second as to their operation within the lines of a particular State. Upon thtse questions there have been conflicting opinions in the District Courts of this district and ot Wisconsin.

It is understood that those affecting foreign commerce had been advanced at the request ot the French Minister and transmuted through the Secretary of State. The Plague. YESTERDAY AT MEMPHIS. Memphis, Sept. 28.

Thirteen new cases, three of whom were whites and ten colored, were reported to the Board of Health to-day; among the number are John A. Stinette, George Pless and Millie McDonald. Six interments were reported by the undertakers: Alfred li. Watkins, George Jerome, Richard S. Lawrence, Thomas A.

Dobbs, and Jerome Van Orstrand. In addition to the new cases reported to the Board of Health, the following were supplied with nurses to day by the Howards: Mrs. Thomas Cubbins, Mrs. Lizzie Rynders, Isaacs Lscroix, Lizzie Cash, and Adolph Rosendale.

28. Wednesday, Gen. James M. Comly, American Minister Resident to the lia waiian Islands, now in the city, intro-duced the Hawaiian Consul, II. W.

Sev. erance, and a number of residents of the Islands, to Goueril Grant. Iu the afternoon, he witnessed the drill of the Underwriters' fire patrol After attending the theatre in the evening, General Grant drove to the Pavilion, where a camp fire of soldiers and sailors of both sides of the late war was in progress. Notwithstanding the huge proportions of the Pavilion, every inch of standing room was occupied, and thousands were outside, unable to obtain admittance. The General, on his entrance, was greeted with a tremendous round of applause, and responded to the address of welcome with a few words; alter which the jollity characteristic ot such occasions was resumed, and continued till a late hour.

To day, Gen Grant has been allowed comparative quietness, his only engagement being to dine with J. C. Flood." With the exception of a reception of the school children at Woodward trdens tomorrow, public festivities in this city may be considered at an end. HAYKS AT LEAVENWORTH. Leavenworth.

Sept. 28. The President and Mrs. Hayes remained the guests ol Gen. and Mrs.

Pope, at Fort Leavenworth to-day, and spent the Sabbath in a quiet, restful way, very grateful to them after the heal and embarrassment of the preceding week. In the morning the President and Mrs. Hayes attended the prison chapel, and, after dinner took a short drive over the pleasant neighborhood. In the alternoon they received a few callers, among them were Col. and Mrs.

Dr. Anthony of this place. Gen. Sherman and Colonels Tour-telotte and Bacon of his staff, also remained at the Fort the guests of Gen. Pope.

The party have, on consultation, somewhat modified the original plan, and. instead of leaving here this evenii will depart to morrow morning for St. Joseph, Mo where the party will spend several hours in order to enable the citizens of that place to show their hospitality to the President. They will then re-embark on a special train, furnished for the purpose, for Springfield, 111 where they will arrive some time on Monday night. Tuesday will be spent in Springfield, Tuesday night the party will embrk for Indianapolis, Ind The delegation from Hannibal, where, it is alleged, the President was insulted, were appeased and sent on their way rejoicing.

The party will cross the river at Louisiana and will not visit Kansas City. The President has all sorts of callers, who are received with the greatest good nature and politeness, no matter how humble their condition in life. To-day a couple of men from Missouri paid a Sunday afternoon visit to his Excellency at Gen. Pope's house. They were received kindlv by the President, who introduced them to Mrs.

Haves. After expressing their approbation in flit-tering terms of the administration, one of them asked the President to appoint him a little postoffice in his neighborhood. The President informed him that he would have to forward his papers through the ordinary channel, and the man failed to get his postoffice, notwithstanding he was recommended as a stalwart Republican by the companion whom he brought along with him as a sort of animated credential. Mr. Dawes of the Hannibal St.

Joseph railway will take charge of the train bearing the party from here. Opinion in the Tilden Tax Suit. New York, Sept. 28. In a suit brought by the United States against Samuel J.

Tilden, to recover certain 8tima alleged to be due from him for income taxes from 1863 to 1872, inclusive, over and above amounts paid by him, a motion was made in the United States District Court, a few days ago, by Tiluen'u counsel, for a bill of particulars. Judge Choate has made an elaborate decision in the matter, and says the motion must be denied, on well settled rules of practice relating to the matter of bills of particulars. After alluding to the objects of bills of particulars, he said that the govern ment is not presumed to know what every man's income is; still less, the several parts of whioh it is made up. Every man is presumed to know these things with entire certainty. While the officers of the government may have such creditable information as to a tax-payer's income as makes it proper to begin suit and recover excess of the income tax due above that paid, that information may not be so specific or detailed as to enable the district attorney, in advance of trial, to set forth the items going to make up the income, with that certainty required in a bill or particulars.

He further says the proof that plaintiff is unable to furnish such bill, as admitted by the district attorney, it is not to be inferred that this is a meie pestering suit, brought for general inqu Bition into the private affairs of the defendant, as suggested by counsel for the defense, who urges that tbe court so showed by granting this motion.
