Grant who are cognizant of his Intentions for
the future Intimate that he has stated that he I
would take pride In crowning his public services I
by some great achievement in the interest of I
the peaceful pursuits and for the beneilt of the f
whole world. This closing ambition they say j
would be consummated in the execution of this I
great project, and in which this hemisphere I
is directly connected, and from which every |
commercial nation on the face of the globe
would enjoy. They justly claim that the in- I
fluence of bis name both at home and abroad I

great commercial enterprise, both with respect j

Examining a Second Lieutenant.?The J
board ot officers which recently examined the

the board:?A young man who had passed a very !
creditable examination was brought into the j
Eresence of (Jen. Mccook, the president, who I 1
tiought he would test him on what army offi- I I
cers call "general adaptation." Said Gen. 1
Mc<'ook, " do you know anything about our I
'. " ?h- >*es." was the reply.
Well, said the General, "in case this govern- I <
ment wished to secure a criminal who had taken 1
flight into some foreign country with which I 1
there were treaty relations existing, how would I 1
it proceed?" After some hesitation, the would- <
be lieutenant replied. " General, I have not
thought of that; give me time to consider it " I 1
" Certainly.'" said the General; and the young I <
man retired to an adjoining room for reflection. ?
After he had conned over the proposition about I ?
two hours, he came rushing into Gen. McC.'s 1
room. "Eureka!" said he; " I have it!" "Well," 1
said the (?eneral, "how would the officers of I
t his government proceed to get from a foreign I 1
country a fugitive from Justice from our coun 1 '
tiy?" " Why," said the young lieutenant?fo j !
he is now a lieutenant?" / would grant letter l
ol marque and reprisal!" J

The Yazoo Tragedy.?The vicksburg (Miss.)
Herald, a democratic paper, thus comments on
the killing of Dixon by Barksdale, at Yazoo
city: "Bulldozing has borne its legitimate fruit.
Tuesday In Yazoo county Henry Dixon was
shot to death. Twist It as we may, this terrible
deed which leaves a widow and fatherless
children to life's stern struggle was brought
about by intolerance in politics. We are not at
this writing in possession of the particulars of
the deed, but the circumstances that led to it
are known, and they warrant us in asserting
that the days of the democratic party in Mississippi
are numbered unless its leaders at once
meet the responsibiity that rests on them. The
white voters of Mississippi must by their oourse
make future affairs of this kind an Impossibility.
The silent, powerful ballot Is the court that
must try this fearful evil of bulldozing ard pass
sentence on It, by sweeping its advocates from
all the channels that lead to power."
Tbb Peninsula Peach Crop.?So far this
season about 3,000 carloads of peaches have
been shipped over the Delaware railway to the
various markets of the country. A carload is
about son baskets, so that the railroad shipments
amount so far to l,500,000 baskets. This
represents about three-fourths of the peninsula
crop gathered so far. One-fourth reached
markets by water routes. The crop is now
about two-thirds gathered,and when all is in will 1
amount to something over 3,000,000 baskets.
A Strange Cattle Disease.?The Hartford '
Evening Pout says that the owners of thorough- 1
breds and grades in Farmlngton, Conn., have
discovered a mysterious disease prevailing j
among tlielr herds, which, having proved fatal 1
in two or three cases, is causing considerable j
alarm. The epidemic thus far has shown itself 1
exclusively among the milk cows, appearing at 1
first with a serious lameness In thenlnd legs.
Gradually the disorder Increases, the animal ,
meanwhile being reduced to a skeleton. The
disease, whatever may be the cause or nature, ,
baffles all treatment for its removal, and the ,
animals have to be killed to get them out of i
t heir misery. The secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture, Mr. T. S. Gold, of West corn- J
wall, has visited the town, but has not been ,
able to decide yet what the disorder can be. J
Cleopatra's Needle.?Among the passen- \
gers by the Arizona to-day Is Lieutenant Com- ,
mander Henry II Gorrlnge, U. S. N., who goes
to Alexandria, via Liverpool, for the purpose
of bringing thence the needle of Cleopatra. He t
expects to reach Alexandria by the 1st of No- j
vember with the constructions now making by (
Roebllng & sons, of Trenton, and to leave there >
by the 1st of December, reaching New York by t
the 1st of January, isso. The Roebllngs have ^
nearly completed a very substantial and useful j
series of constructions for the pulling down j
and setting up of the needle. Commander ^
Gorrlnge does not intend to tow the needle? \
no seaman, he says, would ever have dreamed >
of such an absurdity?but will ship it on a 8
steamer as regular freight and bring it across. 1
Where the needle will Be placed is not yet de- a

statement of the american district ^?lxgraph
boy.
The American District boy v?lio accompanied
De Young in the coupe at the time of the shoots 1
Ing, was run down by a reporter of the San
Francisco Bulletin yesterday, and b's statement
is published a3 follows: " About 9 o'clock Saturday
morning a gentleman drove up to the
branch office at No. 961 Mission street In a coupe
and called for a messenger boy. It was my
turn to go out, and I went with him. I did not
know the gentleman In the coupe, never having
seen him before. We drove on to No. 2314 19i h
street. He told me to go to the house and Inquire
for Mr. Kalloch, and tell him that a lady
in the coupe wanted to see him. The door was
opened by a boy. l delivered the message, and
tne boy told me that Dr. Kalloch was not In.
The gentleman told me to Inquire what Mr.
Kalloch's office hours were, l was told that
he was at his office from ten to twelve. We
drove from Mr. Ka'loch's house along Mission
street to r?th street. Before reaching 6t,h
street Mr. De Young lowered tne window or
the coupe. We turned down Jessie street to the
entrance of the Temple on that street, pass'ug
the buggy before stopping. When we stopped
Mr. De Young peeped through the curtain of
the rear window of the coupe and said. 'You see
that man with the white ulster on; tell him that
a l??dy in the coupe wants to see him.' I went.
The gentleman in the ulster was In the buggy,
accompanied by another man, and was in the
act of picking up the reins when I delivered Mr.
De Young's message. He at once stepped down
and approached the coupe cautiously, as if he
anticipated something wrong, peering sideways
at the window of the coupe. When he reached
the coupe the shot was tired, which so frightened
me that I ran as fast as 1 could back to the
oflice." The boy had not read the accounts In
the papers oi an impending difficulty between
De Young and Kalloch. He did not suspect at
any time during the ride that the person with
him ?n the coupe intended to do anybody any
harm. The gentleman was cool, and there was
nothing about his persen to indicate that he
contemplated the deed that was committed.
de young held to answer.
Charles De Young was brought before the
Police Court yesterday, and, waiving examination,
was held to answer to the charge of assault
with intent to kill, without ball. At the
police station vigilance was relaxed during the
day, and only a few officers were on duty, with
a few militiamen and worklngmen's specials,
the latter being sworn In for the purpose of
making sure that De Young was not spirited
away.
kalloch's condition.
The leaders of the worklngmen's party held
a conference with Mr. Kalloch's medical attendants
jesterday to consider the expediency
of putting up some other man for mayor. The
physicians Informed them that at present they
saw nothing In the condition of Mr. Kalloch to
render such course necessary, and intimated
the probability of his early recover}'.
public orlnion in san francisco.
Considerable prominence was given to the
shooting of Mr. Kalloch in the San Francisco
pulpits Sunday. W. E. Ijams, of the C.reen
Street congregational Church, treated it at
lengthk Ills general conclusions were that
Kalloch, whatever his faults might be, was a
man of generous impulses, that the attack upon
him was cruel and cowardly, and that the
Chronicle has nourished in this city is evidence
of a low stage of civilization. Rev. Horatio
Stebblns, of the First Unitarian Church, formulated
the Idea that society was disgraced by a
want of dignity of mind and strength of heart
on the part of both the preacher and the publisher,
who heaped abuse on each other until
the truth of it gets beyond endurance, when one
retaliates with the assassin's hand for what he
could not bear in the same kind lid had given.
Rev. M. C. Brlggs, of the Howard Street Methodist
Church, said De Young's deed showed an
UD<JeflJ.ms cwmt 9t immorality in society
much to be deprecated. Kalloch and De Young
were not the representatives of parties or or
principles. Their quarrel was purely personal.
From various points of the interior come expressions
of private and public opinion condemning
the De Youngs for the course pursued
by the Chronicle and tne subsequent attack on
Kalloch. Similar reports come from Oregon
and Nevada. The Call compliments the worklngmen
for their moderate action and Kearney
for his prudent course. The A Ita further considers
tne tragedy and emphasizes its previous
condemnation of De Young. The Chronici
claims Its articles against Kalloch were pub
llshed from a sense of duty. It hold3 out the
idea that if the election should result in the
worklngmen's success there will be no peace
but such as Is agreeable to the mob, who mean
nothing less than revolution.
A Long Ticket.?When the republican nomination
convention finishes its labors It will
have acted upon ninety offices (two unexpired
terms), which together with the nineteen state
officers will make 109 names, and the line
"Against Chinese Immigration" and the vignette
will make the list a formidable one. But
these names are not all to be voted on one
ticket, as the senators and assemblymen are apBrtloned
to the several senatorial districts,
ghty-six names are to be voted for. however,
and under the law (section 1,191) when "more
than eighty offices are to be filled" the ticket is
to be 24 inches in length.?[San Francisco AUa,

Sioux Ik mans Again Giving Trouble.?a
telegram from Yankton, D. T., August 25, says:
a gentleman who arrived to-day from Sprink
county, on Jim river, 150 miles above Yankton,
brings Intelligence that the Drifting Goose band
of Yanktonals Sioux are making trouble with
the settlers, on Sunday three of them attempted
to outrage a woman, but she stood them off
with a revolver. John Bell, a mall carrier between
Foster City and Jamestown, is missing,
and is supposed to have been murdered by Indians.
His hcrses strayed into the station last*
Sunday, and one of them had an Indian lariat
tied to tbe halter. The wagon has not been
found. These are the Indians whom President
Hayes has given three townships of the choicest
land on Jim river. Since the order conveying
this land was issued they have become imbued
with the notion that they are backed by the
government, and will te protected In any excess.
Tbey belong to Crow Creek agency, 100
miles west of Sprink county.
The Mosquito Plague on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland must be very bad. The superintendent
and train hands of the railroad near
Cambridge declare that the mosquitoes have
been so tiilck as to obscure the light of the sun,
and that lighted lamps have been necessary at
mid-day in tbe stores and counting-rooms. A
correspondent writes;?"Never In the history of
Tyaskin have the mosquitoes been so thick
they have been during the past week. There
is no rest night or day; our only remedy is
smoke! smoke! And we have smoked so much
that our old women and young women, too, look
like dried beef on the hoot."
Hon. John C. Ten Eyck, ex-Senator of the
Tnlted States, died Sunday night at his residence
in Mount Holly, N. J., aged 65 years.
His funeral will take place at Mount Holly on
Wednesday, the 27th Instant, at s p. m. He
was born In Freehold, New Jersey, March 12,
1814. He stud'ed law and was admitted to the
bar In 1835. in 1839 he was appointed prosecutor
of pleas for Burlington county, holding the
position for ten years. He was a member of
the New Jersey constitutional convention of
1844, and was elected a Senator in Congress for
the term commencing In 1S59 and ending in
1865, serving on the committees on commerce
and the judiciary. He was also a delegate to
the Philadelphia loyalists' convention of 1S66.
The Rev. Mb. Bacon, of Norwich, Conn., Informs
all concerned that he Is not whining for
sympathy. He is a new comer in Norwich; he
found there an old and established power?the
Steamship company. This company was openly
breaking the laws of the state by giving Sunday
excursions. He had very little hope, he
says, of putting a stop to these excursions, but
he was determined to drag the unwilling law
and the rich and influential law breakers face
to face. That he did by making complaint.
The Public Prosecutor now refuses to do anything
in the premises, on the ground that public
policy does not demand it. The inference is
that he regards the Sunday laws as so much
dead letter.
If this is the correct view, we agree with the
Rev. Mr. Bacon that the laws should be repealed.?[A.

Georgia Colored People Lieely to start
for Kansas in Multitudes.?A telegram from
Atlanta, Ga.f says" Information received
here from all parts of the state make it certain
that the negroes are organizing extensively for
an emigration movement to Kansas. They are
better fixed In Georgia than in any other state,
owning over 16,000,000 worth of property, mostly
In landSjWblcb are assessed at merely nominal
value. They have free schools in every county
for colored children, supported by the taxes of
white people, and a free university supported
by a state appropriation of ts.ooo per annum.
In many counties they serv e on juries and have
generally all their rights. They give no reason
for their proposed exodus, and seem to be possessed
with a strong spirit of unrest. Many of
their leaders seem to have hopes of establishing
a state in which tbe negroes wall have supreme
and unquestioned sway, There can be no doubt
that thousands of Georgia negroes will leave
the state as soon as the cotton-picking season is
over, and similar restlessness Is reported among
the negroes of Alabama and tne Carolines
There are no signs of agents for the scheme,
but the exodus is preached from home pulpits
by our own negro preachers. There is no
scarcity of negro labor in either of these states
at present."
A Needle's adventure.?some few days

not imagine the cause. On examination, the <
