The afternoon Free Press re ceived tbe following message from Battle ford: We are in Imminent danger from Indians in this vicinity. Chief Poundmaker has gone into op** rebellion aud put instructors and agent at defiance. The Julians have left tbe other reserve, and are centering in large numbers about Battleford. It is estimated that there an.- at ieast 500 Indians, and more coming in a short time Several of them have come down to town and threaten to burn it and take possession of the barracks and stores. All the women and children have been hur ried?into tbe barracks and everything is being done to pat them in the best possible condi tion for the defense of the helpless. The rueti have been enrolled for service, and linns aud ammunition have been i.-sued to them. We will be aid:.- to rais? a force of fully 200 men for de .' i.- . Several bouses in town were broken into la«t Digh{ and rifled. A few half breeds who live about town have gone to the hills, ostensibly to be out of the way, but it is pretty certain that tbey will join the Indians and incite them to violence when tbe worst d. The Indians will not remain long inactive, and they may descend on the town !i any moment and seize all the stores to themselves with provisions. There will likely be a general pow-wow of the In dians to-day. when they will moke their demands known.

To Take Kiel Dead or Alive. Ottawa, March 30. — H. B. Spencer, as sistant superintendent of the Canada Pacific', who accompanied the special train as far as Chalk river, says: il We had a fine run up to Chalk river, arriving there early yesterday morning. The only delay was at Mattawa, where the men got supper. A detach ment from Toronto leaves at 13, and we can rush them to Winnipeg in seventy-two hours. "We hare engines under steam at all divisional points, ready at a minute's no tice to leave. The troops will be pushed through in the fastest time possible." John Hooper of the Free Press was appointed staff orderly to the force under Col. Will iams. He leaves to-night. Capt. James Tenncssy has been commissioned by the governor to raise a company of scouts to proceed immediately to the Northwest. 'Tis stated J»is instructions are to take Riel dead or alive. Montreal the excitement over the Northwest trouble has abated very little, if at all, and bulletins, announcing an anticipated upris ing of the Indians, were surrounded all day with crowds of excited people. The brigade office is again the objective point of volunteer officers and offers for service received from a large number of retired officers. The command ing officers of all local regiments reported to Col. Worsley, brigade major, during the day, and made enquiries regardiug equip ment which they require. To Brine Kiel's Body In. Toronto, March 30.— 1t is reported that the deputy adjutast general has received orders to call out the remainder of the Queen's Own aud the Grenadiers, but this lacks confirmation. However, it is gen erally believed that such order will come shortly. A movement is on foot here to get twenty young men who have the means and the courage and are willing to undergo the hardships to band together forguerrilla warfare, and to bring Reil dead or alive. They will go through the United Slates as civilians, and will procure an out fit costing about $SOO in Winnipeg, and will style themselves Toronto rangers. Parlia ment was prorogued this afternoon at 2 o'clock p. m. by the lieutenant governor. Two Companies Ordered Out at Hamilton. Hamilton*, Ont., March 30. — Two com panies Thirteenth battalion have been ordered in readiness to proceed to the North west. The Agitation in the Commons. Ottawa, March 30. — In the house of com mons to-day Blake asked tbe government it any further information had been received from the Northwest. Sir John said nothing had been received beyond confirmation of the news communicated Friday nigiit. Fort Carlton had been abandoned and burned. Caron, minister of militia, said the oniy ad ditional force that could be called out in Ontario aud Quebec, was the Thirty-fifth bat talion, under the command of Lieut. Col. O'Brien, M. P., with Lieut. . Col. Tyrwilitt. Some question as to equipment of troops coming up Blake said that as one wlio bad near and dear relatives among volunteers, he felt a deep Interest in seeing the proper arm 3 and equip ments supplied. He would hold the govern ment responsible for any negligence tbat might be shown. In answer to Blake, Sir John said the com missioner appointed to inquire into the half breed grievances would leave Thursday. Ives thought too much attention was being paid to the rising iv the Northwest. He said tbat in the United States a border out break was quits a common occurrence, but congress paid little attention to such mat ters. Watson rebuked the utterances of Ives, who, he said, felt more concerned in the success of some Northwestern specu lations than In the safety of the poor settlers on the plains who were in danger from the Indians. Sir John said the dis patches stated th;it two Indian chiefs, Little Pine and Poundmaker, had donned their war paint, and as they hid been troublesome they were being watched. Itxd New* Kzpected.

Wisconsin Honored With the Dengtark Envoy —The Utah Commission— Cleveland Sight-Seeing. Special to the Globe. "Washington-, March 30. — As usual those assigned to the more important diplomatic stations come as a surprise. THE MINISTER TO RUSSIA. Alex R. Lawton of Georgia who, goes to Russia, was urged upon the president first as postmaster general, having the indorsement of the Georgia senators and the congressional delegation. This selection gives Georgia two important diplomatic posts, Mexico and Russia. The appointment is received with general satisfaction. Gen. Lawton is a South Carolinian by birth. He is now a resident of Savannah, where he is a promi nent legal practitioner. He was educated at the West Point military academy, SERVED IN THE ARMT a number of years, resigned, studied law at Savannah and engaged in the practice of his profession there. When the civil war broke out he entered the Confederate army as a brigadier general aud subsequently became quartermaster general of the Confederacy. At the close of the war he returned to his practice in Savannah and soon afterwards was appointed attorney for the Central Rail road and Banking company of Georgia. He is described as a lawyer of distinction, a gen tleman of quiet and affable manners, a pos sessor of considerable wealth and about 65 years of age. THE ONSCL GENERAL AT LONDON. Thomas M. Waller of Connecticut, ap pointed to-be consul general at London, was governor of Connecticut up to the last of January. This is the place for which John G. Thompson of Ohio was an applicant Waller was chairman of the Connecticut delegation at Chicago, and made the final speech in behalf of the nomination of Gov. Cleveland. He made the race for governor of his 6tate in the last canvass, and received a plurality of all the votes cast. The law re quiring that a majority should elect, the election was thrown iuto the legislature, which being Republican chose his Republican competitor. His life is something of a romance. He was a boot black and drifted on a Long Island sound steamer to New London, Conn., from New York. Here he attracted the attention of Judge Waller, who proved his benefactor, and whose name he bears. He rose rapidly in the legal profession and gained consider able reputation iv prosecuting the celebrated Hayden case. THE MINISTER TO BRAZIL. North Carolina, which gets the Brazilian mission in the person of Thomas Jefferson Jarvis, ought to feel honored. Jarvis was likewise pressed for cabinet honors, and when Mr. Cleveland asked the delegation which pressed him, ''Who this man Jarvis was," his friends were rather taken back. Still Mr. Jarvis has an honorable record. He is a native of North Carolina, slightly ••v -r 4U yea^ of age, and up to a few years ago' was a farmer of Eastern North Carolina. For sev eral years prior to 1576 he had been a mem ber of the state legislature and distinguished himself as a leader. In 1870 he was elected lieutenant governor on the state ticket beaded by Senator Vance. This was the first Democratic success after the late war. In IS7S. when Gov. Vance took a seat In the United States senate, Mr. Jarvis succeeded to the executive chair.and upon the expira tion of tbe term was elected his own suc cessor. "Shortly after vacating the governor ship the legislature passed unanimously resolutions recommending Mr. Jarvis for a cabinet position. MINISTER TO TIIE NETHERLANDS. Isaac Bell, Jr.. of Rhode Island, who goes as minister to the Netherlands, married a sister of James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald. Although he has a residence at Newport, he spends most of his time In New York city. He is interested in the Old Dominion line of steamships, which are coastwise vessels running from New York aud Richmond, and between New York and Lewes, Del. He has headed his party ticket several times in the state, and Is cred ited with having done ss much as any other man towards keeping Rhode Island Dem ocracy in trim for a political battle each year In spite of defeat. i ON-11. GENERAL TO BERLIN. Frederick Raine of Maryland, appointed to be consul general at Berlin, bas the ad vantage over Minister Pendleton iv that he can speak tne language of the court to which he is accredited.

He is a staunch friend of ex-Senator McDonald and accom panicd that distinguished statesman here a few days ago. It is said by Indianians that the appointment was made upon the request of Mr. McDonald and is a clear cut vlctorv for him. MINISTER TO ITAI.T. A. M. Kieley of Virginia, who goes to Italy, is ex-mayor of Richmond and a very prominent lawyer. He was fnr years chair man of the Democratic state committee, and since the resdjustment bill was passed he baa been the leadiug attorney in the fight for Virginia bondholders.

Washington, March 30.-Dr. Herman of Minnesota is a pretty mad man to-day, as be had the assurance that he would be made con-sul general to Vienna, and was almost paralyzed when he saw Jusscu's name sent in. Ex-Senator Cameron starts for home Thursday with his family. THE PRESIDENT SIGHT-SEEING. Grover and Dan Take Daily Drives About the CapitaL Special to the Globe. Washington, March 30. — The president r has become an enthusiastic explorer of Washington and its surroundings. It was all new to him. About the third day after his inauguration he ordered the carriage at 5 o'clock and went out for a drive. This has become a daily custom. It makes no difference now who ' or how many are in waiting, Mr. Cleveland at 5 o'clock sharp gets up from his desk and says, "Come, Dan," and away the president ) aud his private secretary go for their outing. 5 A new route is taken every day. Arlington, I the distributing reservoir above Georgetown. j soldiers' home, Rock creek, Silver spring, the country seat of the late Montgomery Blair and the arsenal are some of the places the presdient has visited since inaug -1 uration day. He takes deep interest in the historical associations of the vicinity of Wasb -1 ingtou and already he knows more about the " district ihan any of his predecessors, with the possible exception of Mr. Lincoln, who was very fond of driving about here iv the same kind of a vehicle as that used by Presi t deut Cleveland. Two stylish bay horses from • tbe White house stables are attached l to the coupe and the driver, John Cobb, who i knows every foot of territory within a radius • of 100 miles, is usually the guiding spirit of the ride. He knows all the best roads and • the prettiest bits of scenery about Washing l ton. He doesn't tire of pointing out every thing notable. He finds two splendid lis teners in the president and Mr. Lamont. THE UTAH COMMISSION Called Together hj Goy. Ramsey— The Ob jects of the Meeting. Special to the Globe. ( ' i Washington, March 30. — Ex-Senator Pad • dock of the Utah commission is here to at -1 tend a meeting of that body on Tuesday next. The call for the convening of the I commission in this city came from the chair man, ex-Gov. Ramsey of Minnesota. • The principal business will be to i make their action in the future • conform to the recent decision of the su ! preme court carrying out the Edmunds law. At the time the commission began the work I of supervising the registration in Utah the i Mormons had an oath of their own which did i not meet the ideas of the commission and 1 an additional clause was nut to it, all of which tbe supreme court has decided against. ! Something new will be| framed. As ; to the policy of the new adminjs • tration toward tbe Mormons. Commissioner Paddock said this evening that he had 1 learned nothing beyond what he had read in the president's address,, and beyond what he knew of the views of the several cabinet offi , cers prior to their appointment, as declared by them from time to time. He had no , doubt, however, but that the work already [ under way would be pressed vigorously. Of the commissions labors he said that good , results had followed. The present United I States attorney, Dickson, was a man for the , commissioner's selection which made the l(t machinery for enforcing ibe law complete. , ' The pow«.-rs within' drorcn were already , feeling keenly the depreciation of their or ganization and were conscious of tbe i result which must ensue. The grow ing generation, he said, the children, were rapidly discarding the teachings and trainings of Brigham Young and his suc cessors. Tbe commission will modify their policy somewhat, but will continue the pros ecution of offenses perpetrated under the cover of the church. The body will before leaving call upon the president, Secretary Lamar and Attorney Gen. Garland. What Will the Senate Bo in Case of Re movals? Special to the Globe* Washington, March ."0. — It is said on the authority of a prominent Democratic United States senator that the president has a large ba f ch of nominations, consisting of collec tors of internal revenue, and other officials not coming under the operation of the tenure of office, all ready to send to the sen ate,and tbat a number of nominations of this class would have been made to-day but for the reason that there has been a rumor In circulation that it is the intention of the* Republican majority in the senate to oppose the confirmation of any appointment made by the president caused by the removal of any Republican incumbent. Inquiry among Republican senators this evening, however, developed the fact tbat there is no concert of action for that purpose. It is stated that several of the leading senators on the Republican side were in favor of thus pro ceeding. Among these it is said are Senators Edmunds and Sherman, and that the latter is especially anxious to have this co.ursc taken and would like to make it tbe subject of caucus action. A later report, which is credited.is that tbe Republican senators have reached a tacit understanding to reject every nomination sent in by tbe president except those to fill vacancies. But a few Demo crats hope tbe reported understanding shall prove to be true, because in such an event they are constrained to hope tbe president will take tbe bull by the horns and make more removals than he might otherwise do. Collector* and I'ostmxster* . Washington, March 30.— The following nominations were sent to the senate: Collectors of Internal Revenue — Nathan | Gregg of Tennessee for Second district of i Tennessee; Isham G. Searcy of Texas, Third : district of Texas; D»vid SeUle of North ! Carolina, marshal of the United States for i : the W«stern district of North Carolina: ; i Lewis Mullen of New York, appraiser of the district of New York city; Wiliiam Caldwell of Ohio, surveyor of customs for Cincinnati, O. : Clement Dowd of North Carolina, col lector of internal revenue of the Sixth dis trict of North Carolina; John O. Henderson of Indiana, collector of internal revenue ia the Eleventh district of Indiana. Postmasters — MichaelJ. Dougherty, Gales burg, 111. : Wilbur F.Horn, Idaho Springs. Col. : Palemo Wiley. Central City, Col. ; An sel Waterous, Fort Collins, CoL .Tnlinny McLean Scores One* Washington, March 30.— The aopoint ! ment of William Caldwell as surveyor of the j port of Cincinnati is claimed as a victory for ! tbe Payne-McLean faction, he having been indorsed strongly by Senator Payne, who is ! said to have personally urged his nomina- ! tion. His most formidable competitor for | the place was Theodore Cook, who was : a Pendleton man in the senatorial contest a ; i year ago, and who led the bolt against tbe [ McLean legislative ticket for Hamilton j I county in the state campaign of 18*3, when ! j the members of the legislature, which chose ; : Mr. Payne, were elected. Although Mr. ' Cook has been a life-long Democrat and an ' effective worker for that party bis action in ! j bolting the ticket in l s ?3 w« used against ' him by the Payne men in tbe contest for the ? sarTeyorship. The Minister to Denmark. Special to tbe Globe. Washington. March 80— As predicted in these dispatches tbe name of Rasmus And*rson was to-day sent in for minister resident aad consul general to Denmark. This position was abolished by congress a few years ago. when it had an economical streak.snd charge d'affaires susstitnted. Last session, however, when tne Democrats saw that the favors were going on their side they put it in the bill again at a salary of $5,000 per year. True, the Democrat who got it is rather a receut arrival in the ranks of the party, but nobody here 6eems inclined to complain. There's a good deal of comment among Republicans over the fact that the Democrats are obliged to gather up recent recruits from the Republi can ranks to fill their best places, but as this is a fuct tbey are quite willing to see Ander son and Bryant recognized. THE SOCIAL CABINET. Miss Cleveland's IMfiiciilt Duties— Tne Families of Cabinet Ministers. Special to the Globe. Washington, March 30. — Miss Cleveland promises to make a great social success at the White house, although she may be compelled to undergo an uupleasant ordeal. Already pity is expressed for her. Mrs. McElroy, Mr. Arthur's, sister, said of her the day after she left the White house: "I pity Miss Cleveland from the bottom of my heart for the next two months. She has been receiving from three hundred and four hundred to a thousand or more callers a day since she entered the White house. The majority of these have been visitors who were in attendance at the inauguration cere monies. Miss Cleveland will have one of her sisters or nieces with her continually. Her success will not be of the butterfly brilliancy. She is a most accomplished lady, is well read in history, is a STODENT OF SCIENCE, is a writer of some prominence, and is a fine musician. Her personal appearance is not specially attractive. The face is not beautiful. The hair is cut short. But her conversation is so pleasing and so enter taining that one does not look upon the body from which it comes, as an admirer of paint ings does not look upon rough canvas, but admires the fine shades and touches from the artist's brush." The cabinet people will endeavor to hold up their end of the social line. Mr. Bayard's wife is an invalid. She has been a sufferer from neuralgia for a number of years, and has been unable to undertake social duties of any. kind, whatever. There are eight un married children in the family — five daugh ters and three boys. A sixth daughter is married. Three children have been buried. The eldest of five daughters at home has looked after THE SOCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE FAMILY in the past and will continue to act in that capacity. She is a great lover of horseback exercise and is one of the best lady riders in Washington . Mr. Bayard's residence ad joins that of Senator Edmunds. It is a small house three stories high and twenty-five feet wide, and is built on what is known as "Highland place." As tbe head of the state department is called upon to entertain extensively Mr. Bayard contemplates seek ing a larger house. Mr. Whitney brings a rich wife to the capital; Mr. Vilas a wife and three daughters, the oldest 18; Mr. Endicott a wife, son and daughter, and MR. MANNING A BRIDE. His first wife died three . years -ago. He has four children. One son is connected with the Albany Argus. Mr. Lamar is a widower. He is a great admirer of beautiful woman. Mr. Garland is not a society man. As long as he has been in Washington he has not accepted an invita tion to a society event. He does, however, spend an occasional hour with intimate friends, and at these meetings he enjoys re lating jokes. A practical joke he enjoys receiving and giving. His house in Wash ington is modest, and is situated but a short distance from that occupied by Mr. Bayard, He is not a rich man, be ing the POOREST MEMBER OF THE CABINET. His wealth will not aggregate much over $100,000. Tbe greater part of this sum is invested in a home at Little Rock, Ark. He owns a square of ground in that place, in the center of which is a large frame house. About twelve miles from Little Rock is a small plantation which be also owus. Here he spends his vacations iv bunting and tishiug. He enjoys that sport. In his li brary his guns and his fishing tackle have a conspicuous place. Mr. Garland is one of tbe hardest and one of the most systematic workers in public life. He retires late and rises early. He bas an hour for everything.. His engagements are met to a moment. If a most intimate friend has an appointed hour and is not present on time be will not wait for him. His reading outside of law is con fined to history, ancient and modern. His memory is remarkable. He is acquainted with every case tried in the United States supreme court and iv his own state courts. He can cite pages and decisions without reference to a book. Hazen Reprimanded. Washington*, March 30. —The sentence of the Hazen court martini is simply a repri mand, and is not yet approved of by the president. Notice to Railway Postal Clerks. Washington, March 30. — Postmaster Gen eral Vilas authorized tbe statement tbat rail way postal clerks who have become efficient and valuable men, against whom no just complaint can be brought, and who have not turned their attention to political labors dur ing? service, need have no fear of being dis turbed. Washington Whisperings. Washington, March 30.— Brown, Bhlpley & Co. of London, England, Are named as special fiscal agents of the navy depart ment. The following nominations were made: Capt. William J. Volkman of the Fifth cav alry to be major and assistant adjutant gen eral; Capt. George H. Burton of the Twenty first infantry to be major and inspector gen eral. It is not expected tbat there will be much decrease in the public debt for March. The receipts this month are up to tbe average but the disbursements have been larger than usual, the payments on account of pensions alone amounting to $9,000,000. The president has designated Assistant Secretary Fairchild to act as secretary of the treasury in tbe absence of Secretary Man ning, and Assistant Secretary Coon to act as secretary in the absence of Secretary Man ning and Assistant Secretary Fairchild. Alexander McCue of New York was nomi nated for solicitor of the treasury, and Joseph E. Johnston of Virginia for commissioner of railroads. The Sunqnehanna lircaking I p.

New York, March 30.— Prompted by curi osity many persons strolled through Sixty sixth street during the afternoon, stopping iv front of Gen. Grant's house to gaze at the building. The shades in the front parlor windows were lowered all. day. The inner blinds of the general's sleeping room were shut with the slats open. About 3 o'clock the general's wife stood for some minutes at the window on the third floor and after look ing for some minutes at the watchers below withdrew and closed tbe shutters. The cur tains in the general's library or study were rolled up all day, and the ladies of the house hold were several times seen in the room. Harrison, the general's personal attendant, once came out to mail papers and letters at Sixty-sixth street and Madison avenue. A watcher inquired as to the general's con dition. •'HE IS XO BETTER, I FEAR," was the reply. "If you break your leg and it pains you very much, you know it is broken, "but even if tbe pain is less for a time, the break is there all the same. The general has felt easier to-day, but I fear is really, no better." Liveried messengers rang the bell at short intervals throughout the day. Personal mes sages of sympathy and inquiry were con stantly coming from friends and interested persons in the city and out of it. A gentleman who called at 4 with extraor dinary anxiety to see Col. Fred Grant or Col. Badeau, was told the members of the family must deny themselves to all. "These are our imperative instructions," said a servant at the door. At 4:15 p. m., Dr. Douglas re turned to the house after a brief absence. After he had been within half an hour be re entered his carriage to visit another patient. The doctor was asked if he thought the end would come during the night. In answer he said: "I think not; but the general is now passing through the stages incideut to hi 3 disease, and frankly I cannot tell if THE EXD WILL COME TO-XIGHT. "The general is growing weaker and weaker." These words were spoken without reserve and carried conviction to his hear ers which none of the bulletins had done. Dr. Douglas returned from his calls after an absence of about an hour. He had come back to remain all night. Dr. Shrady soon joined biin for the same purpose. At 6p. m. Romero, Mexican minister, called at the house. His stay was short. When asked on Fifth avenue about tbe patient and the out look he said: "Of course no one can fore tell with certainty. The disease, until recently, was within the power of the doctors, but now has gone quite beyond them. The general may live ten days and he may die in two hours. I fear he is GOING TO CHOKE TO DEATH. If the disease reaches the artery the danger of choking is increased, and death by that means becomes almost inevitable. The members of tbe family are now at the gen eral's bedside. The doctors are there, too, but they keep back as much as possible. I fear Gen. Grant will choke to death; it's too bad." In response to inquiries, Drs. Douglas and Shrady sent out the following bulletin : "At this moment (7 p. m.) Gen. Grant Is very quiet. His tempe^ture and pulse are about normal. He has taken his liquid food regularly and well,and in the usual quantity. lie is MORE SILENT THAN USUAL, and has made no exertion of any kind to day. He gives the impression of being weaker, which is not indicated by his pulse." STILL LOSING STRENGTH. At 9:20 p. m. there was no change in the conditiou of Gen. Grant. He is somewhat weaker, If anything. Temperature and pulse are normal. He has taken liquid food iv the usual quantity to-day. CONTINUES VERY WEAK. At 10:15 Gen. Grant was somewhat easier than at the last report. He continues very weak. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. New York, March 20. — Between 8 and 9 o'clock the following message wa6 sent from the house of Gen. Grant to Schuvler Crosby, 1730 H street, Washington, \cx-_oveT_or of Montana; : "My fßther Is suffering less than he was yesterday, but is still very weak. Mks. Sartoris." At 8 p. m. Rev. Howard Henderson, dele gate from tbe Newark, N. J., conference, called at the house with resolutions of sym pathy and hope passed by the conference. He was told the general was very weak. At 9 a. m., Harrington, counsel to U. S. Grant. Jr., was admitted to the house. He carried a volume and a black satchel. On leaving be told Inquirers be could speak of nothing he knew of within doors. At 9:15 Rev. John P. Newman and Leland Stanford of California gained entrance. When ascending the steps Dr. Newman said that when be left the general at 7 o'clock last evening the patient was sitting up, but was weak. The clergyman did not anticipate a speedy death. Gen. Adam Bndean, Gen. Grant's former military secretary, Is an inmate of the Grant residence. On reliable authority it is stated tbat Gen. Grant has recently expressed a desire that Gen. Bodean should become his literary ex ecutor. Tbe family bas bad a policeman stationed before the bouse to prevent further ringing of the bell and to keep away all inquirers. At 9:50 this dispatch was sent to Col. F. S. Dent, Washington, D. C. : "Easy, but very weak. F. D. Grant. " FATHF.R FEELING BADLY. At 10:15 Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., on leaving his fathers bouse, said: "Father feels very badly. There's nothing more for me to aay." At 10:35 Dr. Douglas stated tbat Gen. Grant was feeling a little better. At 11:45 Senator J. B. Chaffee left the Grant residence. He said the general had just been put to bed. and that as compared with his condition twenty-four hours ago the general was better. When asked if the phy sicians considered the patient out of danger, Chaffee replied he could not say tbat such was the case, but that bis present condition was more favorable. At 11 :55 Dr. Douglas and Col. Grant left tbe house for the night, It being considered necessary for only Dr. Sbrady to remain. Dr. Douglas said the general had just retired and wasvery comfortable.

The defendent is a rich stock broker 75 years of age. The parties are well connected in German circles.

White sold $8,000 city bonds that are known, and possibly more, and drew $7,000 out of a Chicago bank on tbem. It is said he har fled Chicago and officers are searching foi him. Other crookedness in connection with White's administration of two estates in pro bate is made public, and it looks as if his stealing and embezzlements will amount to $50,000 or $60,000. White was city comp troller for eigbt years, and was known to all Milwaukeeans as honest Jim White. It ia supposed he lost his money in wheat specu lations. At a meeting of the public debt commis sioners, held this morning, it was agreed to demand the arrest of ex-Comptroller White, for stealing bonds from the city. GRAND WORDS FROM BEECHER. The Strong and Just Han Cleveland the Impartial Servant of the People. Review of the Results of Emancipation and its Consequences. Louisville, Ky., March 30. — Henry Ward Beecher lectured to a large audience here to night. In the Courier-Journal to-morrow Mr. Beecher will say: "Let me state ex plicitly my views of the past and present re lations of the colored people. ?First. — The state of slavery in the South before the war, with all its softening features, was evil and only evil, both in its effects upon the blacks and whites alike, and was, on the whole, both in morals and in! political economy, exceedingly bad. A terrible price was paid for the destruction of the slave system, but it was worth to prosperity a hun dred tiroes what it cost. Second, the putting of the vote into the hands of an ignorant race, was an astounding event in political history. It came not from the belief of their fitness for suffrage, but from the convic tion that it was necessary for their defense. The tentative legislation of some Southwestern states which under the form of vagrancy laws Jseemed intended to subject the colored people to essential slavery again, alarmed the North and led to this defensory legislation. But audacious was that FAITn in liberty and suffrage which led the West and the North to give full citizenship and political power to the emancipated. The result has shown that the colored people have not misused tbat power. I must say that the colored voting since the war has been fully as wise as tbe white voting was before the war. The colored people of the South, after becoming citizens, did not seek revenge nor mischief, for they intended well; not theit fault that many of the tvßk RESULTS WERE EVIL. It was bad enough for the white citizens to see late slaves led by foreign influence. It might be political necessity, but it waj not any the less a thing grievous t« be borne by their white fellow citizens. But when emancipated were largely in excess of the white voters, it amounted in fact to the subjection of tbe white people to the legisla tion of the colored and in those states where legislatures were in power of the late slaves and where Northern men, not always the wisest, led them on to foolish and wasteful legisla tion, increasing taxation and squandering the results of it, plunging the state deeply into debt by the unmerciful issue of bonds, it is not to be wondered at that something like REVOLUTIONARY MF.THOD9 were adopted, and tbat self-defense led men to violent resistance. Third, when at a little later period history no longer under the Influence of violent acd heated passions, shall set in Impartial judgment upon this whole movement of the past quar ter of a century, two results will Btand out prominently: The admirable conduct of the slave popu lation, being industrious, orderly, humane and peaceful; their great bravery when the North made them part of the army, their general good conduct when peace was established, and their thirst for education as an indispensable condition of good citizenship. Their future, may not be what we predict, but lt will be*, auspicious. Second — The remarkable conduct of thej white population of the South burled frnmq political power, defeated in war, wasted in. all resources, wounded In every boushold bj^i loss of husband, son and father, all in- -. dustries subverted and to be refounded on a,.' new basis, and worse than all, to ccc their j late slaves changing place with the masters j and holding the reins of legislation under foreign leadership. • Is lt wonderful that at such a revolution, convulsion rather, Southern citizens often mistook tbe way of duty and that aome RUDE REMEDIES OF VIOLENCH were practied ; thae some counter methods of violence were attempted. These things are not to be justified, but ia it not now s> matter of transcendent wonder that the evils were so few and that tbe patience and self control of the Southern people so soon re adjusted their whole industrial and civil economy? I glory In a history which with all its In-,. Anilities and blemishes presents to the worldV« the most notable instance of the force of self-government that has ever occurred in history. On one or two points allow me to be explicit I do not think it wise that whites and blacks SHOULD MIX BLOOD, yet It is their right and liberty to do so if* tbey choose. But it is to be discouraged on , tbe grounds of humanity. The slaves are j free; they must come under the universal, law. As to their social position, no lcgisla- | tlon can put ignorance and knowledge on a. level, indolence and Industry, virtue and. vice, rudenebs and refinement The house- ' hold is to be FREE TO CHOOSE OR REFU9H Its company; no obstruction should be put in the path of education.' All opportunities for development should be sacredly kept open to every class, every encouragement given to industry, wealth, refinement and good citizenship. After that, society must be free, so far as legislation Is concerned, to choose Its own partnerships. And now tbat a new era and re-adjustment of all national questions has been reached I am for the welfare of an undivided nation, and I belong in detail to that party which shall best serve the Interests of tbe whole land. lam not a slave of either. Party Is my servant lam not Its sla7e. The ad ministration with tbat STRONG AND JUST MAN, Cleveland, at its head has my hearty anpport and my full confidence; not because It is Democratic, but because lt is nstional, pa triotic and adapted to tbe exigencies of tbe hour. Should it fail in its national duty I shall still seek the honor and welfare of this nation, bat by another road.
