PAGE AND THE DEPARTMENTS.
Washington, Oct. 31. Postmaster
General James informed Representative
Page, a few days ago, that the efforts
which were unnecessarily put forth last
winter, to procure an order from his
predecessor, to stop the carrying of
letters by Wells, Fargo & Co., have re
cently been renewed. Page thereupon
briefly recapitulated the main points of
the case' and subsequently handed
James a copy of his printed letter to
Key, together with numerous editori
als of Pacific Coast journals and other
argumentative papers in opposition to
the proposed interference. The Postmaster-General
promised to give the
matter his personal examination and
meanwhile remarked, that unless it
could be shown that the express com
pany had failed to purchase the neces
sary number of stamped envelopes
from the Government, or that it other
wise violated postal laws, he would not
interfere with its business. Pjige to-ilay
called at the Treasury department, to
present sundry telegrams received by
him from prominent citizens of Arizona
and California, urging the appoint
ment of William B. Hooper, a well
known Arizona merchant, to succeed
Dr. Lord as the ollicial agent of the
Government Depository at Tucson,
lie was informed that the law does not
authorize the designation of any per
son to act in this capacity except Gov
ernment ollieers. Dr. Lord was ap
pointed by reason of his being
already a postmaster, and if the
Depository does not remain attached
to that position, it will have to be given
to some other Federal oflice holder.
llcnvjr Defalcations In a New Jersey
Bank.
Newark, Oct. 31. Cashier Baldwin,
of the Mechanics Bank, while confined
to his residence was waited upon by
United States District Attorney and
Commissioner Keashy and admitted to
bail in the sum of $30,000 to appear in
court. His bondsmen are Wm. A. Free
man, of Bloomtield, his brothers, Wm.
II. and Theodore F. Baldwin, and Ma
thias M. Dodd, East Orange. Baldwin
then stated voluntarily that about in
'73, he began to make loans lo C. Nu
gent & Co., morocco manufacturers,
without security or sanction. The direc
tors began to suspect that he was in the
power of Nugent i& Co., as he continu
ed the accommodations some
times loaning to the lirm
$50,000 in one month till it increased to
ruinous amounts. Nugent assured him
he had large property and cash in a re
tail business which would make all
loans .good. Nugent was well aware
that he, (Baldwin) was using bank
money and always promised to sur
render his property in case of trouble.
Under these circumstances the loan in
creased until it reached over $2,000,000.
The manner in which this business was
transacted was thus: Nugent would
srive drafts on friends in New
York, which would be credited him as
cash, and Baldwin would use the
bank's maney to take the drafts when
due. The books were so falsitied
as to show the accounts to be coi
rect. Finally, however, losses were
placed in the accounts of the Me
chanics bank, New York, against the
Newark bank, so that while it appeared
that the Newark bank had claims for
$2,000,000 against the New York bank,
in truth the Newark bank owes the
New York bank $2,000,000. This differ
ence is almost wholly due to irregular
transactions with Nugent, lie said he
had speculated very little and lost
nething in that way. District Attorney
Kcasley says Nugent can be held liable
for his part of the transaction, under
section 5209, United States revised
statutes. The rumor that Nugent
made an assignment to-day, was pre
mature.' Accounts are involved with
other banks and await further develop
ments. FAILURE OF THE MECHANICS BANK DIS
TRESSES THE STOCK MARKET.
New York, Oct. 31. The hardening
tendency of the money market is caused
by the failure of the Mechanics Bank
f Newark and was the maiu cause of
the weakness in the stock market. It
was also feared there would be a run on
the savings banks in New Jersey and
that to fortify against this money would
be sent from here, which, in the pres
ent state of bank reserves cannot be
well spared. It is said some of the of
ficers of the suspended bank were heav
ily interested in Wall Street specula
tions and that their settlements or fail
ure to make them with, their brokers
would cause trouble here.
ADVANCE OF FREIGHT RATES ON THE
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD.
The good news of to-day, consisted of
the announcement that the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company had advanced
east bound freight rates to twenty-live
cents per hundred pounds from twenty
cents, and that New York roads wiil
follow to-morrow; but this news has
steadied the market, which was de
clining on account of Newark's bank
cashier.
Moro !Str Kotite.
New York, Oct. 31. The following
appears in Williams' report now pub
lished for the first time of route 40,11".),
originally running from Delano to Los
Angeles: For nine months the Depart
ment has paid the contractors on 123.
miles at the rate of $15,427.91 per an
num w hen the railroad was in operation
along the line of route upon which the
agents of the department were passing,
and yet of whose existence the re
sponsible officers of the department did
not keep themselves officially inform
ed. This route of 183 miles, daily, was
let to C. II. Colter at the quadrinnial
letting of '71-' 78, for $17,385, a compen
sation increased before he began work
under his contract to $23,!.i05, by the ex
piration of the schedule ordered June
3rd, 1874. Aside from supply to San
Buenaventura and other charges in
creased the compensation to $31,230.
At this time, November 1st, 1875, tho
Southern Pacific railroad reached ('ali
enta, and the route was curtailed fifty
four and one half miles, deducting $0,
S08.18 when the railroad service was
substituted, costing but $4,087.50 on
route 40,814. A like curtailment was
made at the southern end of the route,
from November 0th, 1875, of twenty
two miles, costing $2.718.30 by stage
and but $108.75 by railway service. On
route 40,017, in spite of the manifesto
of economy of the railroad service,
these substitions here closed. The rail
road did not lay the last rail until Sep
tember 2d, 1870, when trains were run
ning on the whole line from Caliente to
San Fernando. The pay of the con
tractor was increased for embracing
stations on the line of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, and it was not until
June 30th, 1877, bv an order dated
June 0th, 1877, No. 2810, that the pay of
the contractor was discontinued, as he
was able, with the money paid Jjy the
contract oflice of the Department to
outbid the price paid fur railroad mail
service. No distance circular had been
sent in until June by the railroad upon
this route. Mails were carried by
steamer under order 2,!)10, May 10,
1870, costing $5,400.
Coiiiutcrcinl Comparisons.
Boston, Oct. 31. The Post has this
on last week's clearings: The
boom continues among eastern
cities, nearly all of whice show a fair
increase. We may mention Boston
with an increase of 31.0 against 31.4
last week; Philadelphia 13.9, Baltimore
decreased .05 agaiust a decrease of .01
last week, Providence increased
14.7 against 11.0. Imost all
manufacturing centers exchanges
show a most gratifying increase
Springfield shows a gain of 51.13, Wor
cester 18.0, Lowell 19.3, and New Ha
ven 22,9. Hemphis still shows a de
crease, there being a falling off of 8.1.
This can be accounted for by the falling
off in other receipts, owing to contin
ued bad weather prevalent in Ten
nessee, (rains in western cities con
tinue quite noticeable. Milwaukee
gained 12:2. Chicago 20.0,
Cincinnati 27.2. St. Lauis, 13.
Louisville 19.9, Pittsburgh 35.1, Cleve
land 28.1. Indianapolis shows a trill
ing gain of .04, Columbus 30.2. New
Orleans shows a gain of only .2, while
Syracuse falls behind sonic 2.2, per
cent. San Francisco, which last week
advanced from 28.4, to 42 per cent, this
week drops back to 23.1 per cent. Gen
eral business in' this city is reported
slacking off a little.
In New York the percentage of grain
is higher than last week, 12.12, against
0.8. Legitimate business in that
city has been remarkably good
for the past week, and a
notable feature being the distribution
of dry goods, for which there appears
to be an unprecedented demand out
side. New fork's percentage of gain
has fallen off compared with last week.
Jny (ilonlri'A ttenl Etttc 'i'runsactlon.
' New York, Oct. 31 The Commer
cial Bulletin says: If was asserted
Saturday by a dealer in real estate that
negotiations were in progress for the
sale of the well known Jumel estate,
comprising about fifty acres, and ex
tending from 15th to 105th streets and
from Harlem river to St. Nicholas and
Tenth avenue, to a syndicate composed
of Jay Gould and, other capitalists.
The price asked was one million dol

is said is to use the property as a site
for the world's fair to bo postponed

Trnns-AHantIc Cablegrama.
THE GERMAN ELECTION.
Berlin. Oct. 31. The liberals expect to
secure twenty out of ninety seats in the
second ballots, making their total
strength in the Reichstag 100. Gov
ernment officials committed great
abuses at Lauenberg where the liberals
were arrested. Great pressure was
also exercised in favor of the conserva
tives in Schelsivigholstein and West
Russia Firm adherents of Bismarck in
the Reichstag will probably not number
more than one-third. He will have to
negotiate and manouvre dexterously to
carry out his schemes. It is not be
lieved Rismarek will try to conciliate
the clergy by granting concessions in
regard to Culturkamt; therefore it is
prophesied as a broad result of the
elections that he must either frankly
return to what his opponents call lit
eral policy or bring out a complete
standstill in domestic legislation.
THE IRISH AGITATION STILL CONTINUES.
London, October, 81. The following
proposition for a meeting in effect to
the "no rent" proclamation, appears
in the Times' editorial: It would bo
too much to hope that the attempt to
enforce the "no rent.'" policy, will not
be made possible on a considerable
scale, but no payment, for rent must bo
followed by eviction unless in ejection
one daring refusal is to run through a
whole district. The government has
pledged itself in a recent proclamation
to use all resources at its disposal in
enforcing legal rights; but it is not for
the government to initiate eviction or
follow them up. Landlords must com
bino and subscribe to carry into effect
measures of success on 'which their
property depends. Agitators are now
telling tenants that the landlords
are bankrupt and the Property Defense
Association and Emergency Commit
tees must fall to the ground if the ten
ants only hold out a little longer. It is
for the landlords to show that this
counsel rests on miscalculation, and if
necessary, they will not appeal in vain.
We are sure to receive liberality from
those of their own class in England.
When tenants who persist in refusing
payment in pursuance of Parnell's or
der are evicted, there ought to be some
arrangement made forgetting the lands
at once under some cultivation by, the
employment of "emergency men," or,
if other agents cannot be found, if nec
essary, tenants could probably be
brought from the north into Miinster
and then the Connaught Government
would be bound to give them protection
to the utmost means in its power and
punish by every means attempts to in
timidate them. We do not believe that
when once the breaking up of the
Land League organization had begun
by the direction of comfortable tenants
they would be able to resist the tempta
tions of securing their rights in their
own farms and of competing for those
vacated by their neighbors. Those
who were foolish enough to face evic
tion would lind that they had lost their
privileges as present tenants and that
the sale of their interest had handed
over the property the Land Act gave
them to landlords or "emergency
men." It is scarcely creditable that
any large body of tenants will face these
sacrifices on faith in the Land League
now prescribed by the Government
will compensate them for their loss, nor
is Parnell's latest counsel likely to re
move this misgiving.
MANY ARRESTS OF LAND LEAGUERS.
Dublin, Oct. 31. Among the arrests
to-day are Secretary Castle, Derniot
and other branches of the Land Leaguo
President of the New Market branch,
and Hefferman, League organizer, Kil
dare. At a disorderly meeting to-day
a number of resignations of members
of the council were received in conse
quence of the rejection of E. Dwyer
Gray's recent motion to confer the free

Does it not strike the public as a lit
tle peculiar when the simon pure De
mocracy of Missouri, asks representa
tives of btisinuss interests - in other
States to unite with them in bringing a
pressure to bear upon the Congress of
the United States to secure appropria
tions for the improvement of the Mis
sissippi river; when the same Democra
cy held a few years since that it was
unconstitutional to make any internal
improvement at the public expense,
and under Mr. Polk's administration
actually went so far as to sell the few
suagboats and other improvement ma
chinery owned by the government. An
exchange suggests that even the Demo
cratic party is beginning to learn some
things upon this question of internal
improvement at public expense.
The report came to us yesterday eve
ning that a general strike has been or
ganized along the line of the railroad,
and that the men will not go to work
to-morrow or any more, unless the re
cent order reducing wages is revoked.
It would be a very serious inconven
ience to all branches of business now to
have railroad communication suspend
ed or in any way curtailed, and we
hope the company may see tho propri
ety of acceding to the demands of the
men, or the men may come to the
terms of the company, or something
may occur to avoid any cessation in
railrpad operations at this time.

Will E. Everettej a government scout
under General Miles at Fort Custer,
Montana, was a guest of the Lindell
hotel yesterday. Last evening he left
on the Denver & Rio Grande train to
enter the service under (Jeneral Mc
Kenzie, in New Mexico. Everette was
dressed in the full costume of a scout,
and was so much an object of curiosity
when he ventured on the street early iii
the morning that he modestly retired
within the hotel and remained there
during the day.
