Now Storekeepers and Gaugers. Washington, D. C, May 18. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day made the following appointments of internal revenue store-keepers: - Ludwie, Wechselberg, George, Michael, and Henry Fisher for the first district of Wisconsin, and Joseph G. Thompson, fourth district of Illinois. Gauaere, Jas. W. Beardsley, fourth district Illinois; Frederick W. Paine; first district Wisconsin, and David Stewart, fourth dis trict Iowa.

His visit has reference to the reported coming changes of supervisorships in the districts under his charge. Commissioner Pratt las formed a new division in the revenue bureau to be known as the division of revenue agents. It will be under the charge of revenue agent H. T. Yaryan. Knights or Pythias, be Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias convened here this moral na, and was called to order by Supreme Chancellor Davis. Thirty-four grand jurisdictions are represented.

Special to the Oiachraati Gazette. One sten in the reorganization of the In ternal Revenue office was decided upon to day, and orders to cany it into effect will be issued to-morrow. Heretofore revenue agents have been under the personal direc tion of the Supervisors; hereafter they will be under a chief of revenue agents, con nected with the bureau here, who, under the Commissioner, will direct all their movements. Agent Yaryan, who has been so promi nent in working up the late whisky raid, is to be appointed chief of revenue agents. He will also have full charge of further in vestigations in connection with the con tinuation of the move on the whisky ring. A force of clerks will be put at his disposal to examine and compare all records in tne office, for the purpose of testing the trans actions of all distilleries and rectifying establishments fur two years past. Inves tigation is to be made at once into the case of each revenue official believed to be im properly connected with the frauds just discovered, and all found to be so involved will be promptly dismissed. Dissatisfaction with Sherman's Me moirs. Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. Prominent army officers express much dissatisfaction with tlie Memoirs of Gen. Sherman. Some of those who were most intimate with him here insist that he has been wry unjust to the Generals who ren dered him most service, and lias gone out of his way to satisfy personal pique. It is even stated that Gen. Grant contemplates collecting materials for memoirs of the war, and that Admiral Porter will reply to some portions of Sherman's book. KcBtHCky Safe for the lresont. Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tlie statement telegraphed West, that orders had been sent from this city to begin operations against a number of distillers and rectifiers in Kentucky, and that evi dence existed of their connection with the whisky ring, is contradicted in the Treas ury Department. The officials say that nothiBg has as yet transpired to warrant the statement. At the same time, investi--ations are stili going on in Kentucky, and it looks as if the officers engaged in the investigations lad some suspicion that all is not right in this quarter. Vagrant, Arizona ana Calvin the Win nern. Louisville, May 18. The crowd at the second day of the Jockey Club races was not as large as yesterday, but four or five thousand visitors were on the grounds. There were three races, and the time made in the second and thirdiis considered very good. The day was perfect but the track was a little dusty. In the first race, the Alexander stake for two-year-olds, half a mile dash, there were twenty-four entries. Thirteen started, as follows: Congressman, by War Dance; Mal mistic, by Planet; Grit, by Melbourne; Ba zar, by Jack Malone; Kuss Butler, by War Dance; Virgil, by Virgil; Creedmoor, by Asteroid; Melnotte, by iteiDourne; v agrant, by Virgil; John Funks br c, by Virgil; Plato, by Planet; Ceylon, by Asteroid; Me diator, by Daniel Boone.

There has been a good deal of excitement here for several days past among the politicians over the question whether acting Mayor Kichtein was or was not obliged to make appoint ments to the city othces within a certain time. The law says the--appointments shall be made by tbe 3d Tuesday in May. Mr. Barrett's death previous to this time makes Mr. Kichtein, President of the Coun cil, acting Mayor, with authority to make the appointments; but as a special election was to be held and a new mayor elected, within thirty days of the decease of the Mayor, Mr. Kichtein would not send the appointments to the Council An election was held last Saturday and Col. Britton elected, but his opponent, Henry Overstolz, served notice of contest on him, and ilia Question was raised whether ho can be inaugurated pending this contest.

Calvin sold as the favorite. The start was a beautiful one, but Calvin immediately took the lead and came in winner by three lengths. SUMMARY would send the list of appointments to the Council to-night, which caused intense ex citement, particularly in the 5th and Clh wards, which gave Col. Britton larga ma jorities. So much feeling was aroused that violence was apprehended. A large crowd of excited men wore around the City Hall all day, discussing- the matter, and a strong force of police were on duty. When the Council convened tonight, the hall was packed full of men, many of Whom, it is asserted, wont there with the avowed pur pose of driving the members of the Coun cil from the chamber if Kichtein sent in the appointments and that body undertook to act upon them. A large number of po lice were on hand to meet any emergency, and an armed force of eighty men were held in reserve at police headquarters. After the Council was called to order, a message from MnKichtein was read, stating that counsel had advised him that the law did not require him, under the circum stances, to make the appointments at this time; he, therefore, would not send in any names. He believed that the interests of the city did not require the appointments to be made now, and, in view of this, that it was. but fair that the gentleman who was to serve as Mavrvr for thn next two vears should make his own appointments. He had, therefore, concluded to leave the matter with him. This had a good effect on the crowd, and they immediately began to leave tbe hall. The Council then appointed a committee to hear testimony in the contested case to morrow. A Fatal KIcvator One Man Killed aud Three Mangled. St. Louis, May IS.

This rich stake closed on the 1st of last March, and of the forty-two entries fifteen came to the post, McGrath's entries selling a3 favorites over tlie field in the pools. Volcano, Bob Wooley, Teu Broeck, Searcher and Verdigris had their admirers and backers, and Ascension, iapt. uoi trill's filly, carried the money of the New Orleans delegation. The running of Ches apeake and Aristides at Lexington last week induced tbeir owner to pin his faith on the Lexington, but Aristides beat his stable companion out of sight. Col. Johnson got his cavalry marshaled in two ranks at the half-mile pole, and sent them away to a eood start. Aristides, McCreery and Volcano seemed to get off in front, ChesapcaKe, wno is a vicious suutci, being one of the last away. McOeery got to the fore before rounding tlie turn, aud was first under the string, with Aristides second and Volcano third, the rest in a iu.ru.li rlfx. liehind them. Before reaching the turn, McCreery retired, as bis owner expected, for lie had not recovered from a severe attack of distemper contracted while at Nashville. That McCreery, like all the Enquirers that have appeared, possesses Teat speed, the half-mile he ran in wOI, with 100 pounds up, proves Aristides went on with tlie lead after McCreery retired, with Ten Broeck, Vol cano, Bob Wooley and Verdigris, who had bcuin to close up, not far in his rear; tlie others seemed to be outpaced, for Aristides -os nnttinv out tlie runnine at an awful MEMPHIS.

I All Gen. John C. Breckinridge died at 5:4o this evening. About 3 o'clock this after noon a change in his condition took place, fimi lm esnir rantdlv until his death. He retained consciousness up to the supreme moment, hut his power of speech was lost about a half hour before his death. Every one was elated during the day with the re port that he was much better, and the blow falls with a more crushing power by reason of that fact. The entire city mourns, in common with the whole South, the death of the greatest of her sons. Gen. Breckinridge died calmly as a babe sinking to rest on it's mother's knee. There was no struggle, no pain, but gently the grand spirit passed away forever from our sight. Tlie grandeur of his great life was only equalled by the majesty with which he moved so calmly but so surely down to tlie banks of the dark river which he crossed this sad afternoon. He never for got for a moment that he was a soldier, and bravely as he rode down to battle, he never faced death so cooly on Ihe dread past as he haslaid patiently ;and unmurmuringly in the quiet of his chamber and met it so recently, lie knew that it came on apace. He knew that for fbim there were but a few davs remaining, and yet he never blanched. He never forgot that he was a Breckinridge and a soldier, and that princely spirit which made him the ob served of all men dung still closely to him in the awful presence of death. This morning Dr. Sayre took leave of him, after having reoponed the wound made by tbe surgeons a few days since, and succeeded in removing through the orifice nuite a auantitv of the same matter, the expectoration of which had caused the General so much pain. Tho operation performed was that which is technically known to the profession as paracentesis of the abdomen, tbe object of which was to relieve tlie liver of the presence of a tumor supposed to have formed there. Last week Drs. Gross and Sayre attempted to perform the operation, but without encouraging success, as Gen. Breckinridge sank visibly muter it. and thev were obliged to desist. It was given out then that the supposed tumor really existed, but so deeply seated that it could not be relieved. From the faintness resulting from this fearful opera tion sprang the report or the General s death, which was made last week. He rallied lrom uie enecis oi me opera tion, and some of his more sanguine fru mls. hooine asainst hope, felt that he might possibly recover. To-day, so much li.vi lie rallied, that the operation was re sumed, as stated, and an instrument known ns t.M canula was inserted, and quite a quantity of liuid removed by its aid. The sensation of nain or fullness in the abdo men grew less, and strength seemed to re turn to the patient, ne easuy lurneu Him self in his bed, sat up in it, and during the forenoon drank two glasses of cream, and seemed much revived, so much so in fact as to deceive Dr. Sayre, wlio reported his condition as being very favorable, and it was rapidly circulated all over the city that Dr. Sayre had said tliere were strong hopes for his ultimate recovery. Every one heard the glad news and hurried to tell his neighbor, and a sensation of pleasure pervaded tbe city such as it has not known for weeks. But it was a false Iwpe, as the sad sequel of this afternoon lias shown, and only increased the poignancy of that grief which is now speaking so eloquently in tlie face of every one here. Among all classes the great dead statesman was known and jmd, and tbe sad news of Ms death flew ec the city in a few moments, only to carry a keen pans to the heart of every bearer. The clad tidings of the morning had illy prepared the city for tbe dread event of the afternoon, and Lexington, to night mourns as it has not since tbe day when that oilier statesman ot' Kentucky tlie great sace of Ashland went out from among them forever. Men have hurried through tlie streets, speaking in hushed accents tlie dread words which tokl or the fearful loss tbe whole State has experienced in his death; and one could tell by gazing into their faces, even though no word was spoken, that some calamity had fallen upon this city. When the moment of death came to Gen. Breckinridge, besides his wife, two daugh ters and son, and other relatives, there were none save Dr. and Mrs. JJeahea. uot. wm. C. T. Bieckinbridge, who stood by as the great spirit went out, says he died as he liad lived a brave, simple, quiet man. No last words were spokeu. He raised his eyes to the face of each one in mute recog nition, gave a sign that they should stand aside that he might have air, gasped for breath and died. Of his immediate family two sons were absent, Capt. Cabell Breckinridge, re sjing near Tine Bluff, Ark., and Mr. Osven Breckinridge, of San Francisco, neither of whom could reach here in time for the fun eral ceremonies, which occur on Wednes day afternoon at 4 o'clock from the First rreebyteriau Church, Dr. Bartlett, pastor. In accordance with tlie wishes of Gen. Breckinridge, as expressed In his last will, tlie funeral will be a quiet, modest one, with no attempt at display. It is not known whether the Masonic order will of ficiate, as tlie family lias yet had no notifi- Explanation of Kumors. the War EXGE.JLND. Jfeal Doit's Farewell. Lokdox, May IS. The United King dom Alliance for the suppression of the liquor traffic gave a breakfast to-day at Manchester, to Neal Dow, about to sail for the United States. Sir Wilfred Lawson, member of Parliament, presided, and pre sented Dow with a farewell address. Tbe Breadstuff Markets. Tbe Mark Lane Express, in a review of the breadstuffs market, says: "There has been a marked improvement in tempera ture the past week, reaching the highest at tained in the summer, and altering tbe face of the country. This, coming on dull markets, has made business still more dif ficult. Had high prices been paid a smart decline would have followed, but at tbe present rates there is no room for abate ment. All over Europe a beneficial change has been felt, but the' markets are little al tered, and prices are perhaps a shilling lower. Origin of tho War Flarry- The Tail Mall Gazette finds tbe origin of the recent war rumors in the lolKowinc cir cumstances: The Versailles .Assembly just before adiourmns lor its last recess, passed a bill which bad been for some time under discussion concernine the cadres of the French army. Later Prince Bismarck ad dressed a circular dispatch to the diplo matic representatices or Germay abroad, complaining of the adoption of a measure which was uescriDeu "as caicuiateu w en danger the peace of Europe." The con tents of tbe dispatch were, according to in structions, communicated by the German representatives to the governments to which thev were respectivel v accredited. Tbe ex istence of this dispatch was divulged, and gave rise to tbe reports which have lately caused so much alarm throughout Europe FItAXCE. GENTLEMEN'S CLOTHING AND FURNISHING GOODS. '.J. L. LF.

A motion was made by tbe Minister that the bills be referred to Ute committee of thirty. The Left opposed tbe motion and urged that tbe bilk be referred to a special com mittee. M.

THE SUMMER EXODUS i'OK EUROPE New York lleraW, May 1. Eight steamers carried out neaily 2,500 passengers, yesterday, for Europe. Inquiry at tlie respective steamship offices showed that tbe steamers were nearly all mil, and it is probably no exaggeration to say that at least 4,000 (and probably more) people left this port for Europe during tbe past week. At this rate some 70,000 peopte.will leave New York for Europe during this corner nrwl estimatine the average of tlieir expenditure on the trip atd in the Old World at on'y 100 (although it probably hieber), we have a total of $2S. 000,000 of" which this country will be drained this summer. To this must be added tbe loss resulting from the with drawal of tbe industry or so many mou sands for several montlis, and tbe aspect of these summer escursioi s to Europe be comes quite a serious one to the political economist. Pmhablv tlie most curious feature among tbe passengers yesterday was the large number of young ladies going alone to Europe. How curious that would seem to tlie staid French or Get man damsel who is net allowed to cross the street without be ing properly escorted! But these young lad es were all Americans, who eared but little for tlie manners and customs of tbe Old World, but a great deal for their own eniovment, and were bound to have the latter. Some of thent were t,oing to tbe confines of tlie civilized world, aud they evidently did now dream of a male escort. DOOMED MISSOURI. Wheat Field Left Bare by the Grass-noppers-RIue-srasti Eaten to the Gronud-KUIIoff Them by the linn dred Bashels Hake no Impression. The State entt motorist of Missouri and other scientific men who have studied the grasshopper have predicted that nothing but a late, cold, wet spring could save that State from devastation this yew by tbe plague which reached tbe extreme western coun ties late last fall. During April and the earlv part of May, it seemed as if provi dential interference was backing the sci entists, but a week of dry, hot weather has let loose tbe scourg?, and every train and mail brings additional intelligence of t' e w.k rW ruin which is progressing with ter rible rapidity throughout almost tbe entire western half of the State. In Clinton. Ita'te, Clay, Jackson, Cass, Lafayette and Johneou counties, where the swarms coming eastward from Kansas arrived just in time to lay their eggs and be cut down by the fall frosts, they have batched out in incomprehensible quantitk-s, and are spreading all over tbe State, literally de vouring every green thing in their way. Wheat Selds are left bare as a plowed field. The gardens are stripped f everything. Even the blue-:ras pastures are gone over and cropped even with the gt ound. Reports from some of tlie Kansas coun ties say that the grasshoppers have begun on tbe fruit tret, and are devouring leaves, blossoms and buds. The farmers of the stricken count: es in Missouri liave foiutbt tlie pest in every way. At a meeting held in tbe southern part ot Jackson ouuty, last week, one farmer re ported Uiat lie had ditdietl and destroyrd m hundred and twenty bushels of grass hoppers in three days' work, but the war has no apparent effect upon the countless swarms, and they seem to increase in dis couiiging proportion to tbe destruction. Many t f the farmers in tbe stricken coun ties are utterly hopeless. Tbe cattle and htMses are collected in nerds and droves -a.wt .irivMi southwest to Arkansas and tbe Tnaiaii XatifMi fr msturace. Missouri is lii-Mir tn Wl tlie necessity of coing deep into tbe State Tieasmy to keep her unfor tunate iMOMe from starvation, long beioie cold weather v-n.es.
