MINNEAPOLIS. IN DKBPRST MYSTKRY, ________ . - . The Prooeadiiig.s of the A. P. A. Convention. Tho first annual convention of the A. P. A., which has been in session for two (lays, and about which there has been bo much mystery, concluded its labors yesterday. An air of profound mystery lias enveloped the proceedings, and strict orders were given to exclude the reporters. Among other business transacted was Hie adoption of a platform or declara tion of principles. The latter contains twelve articles, which briefly state that nationality is not a bar to membership in the order; American loyalty is defined as consist ing in devotion to the constitution, institutions, flag, and above all to the public schools, for without intelligence this republic will go to pieces. The teaching of perverted history in the schools and the mutilation of reference books to cover the infamies of any church is opposed. Man's partisan politics are not to be interfered with, and no person's religion is to be attacked so lonir as it is not used as an element of political power. Constitutional liberty above all things is to be maintained, to gether with the government of the United States. All reliaio-political or ganizations are regarded as enemies of civil and relinious liberty, and. in the opinion of the A. P. A., "it is unwise and unsafe to appoint or elect to a civil, political or military office men who owe supreme allegiance to any foreign king, potentate or ecclesiastical power, aiid who have sworn to obey such power. A free school organization is favored as B foremost principle, and opposition is to be offered to all attempts to supplant it by sectarian institutions. The election of officers took place yesterday.but owing to the secret policy iii vogue they were not given out for publication. QUARTKR OF A MILLION. Schedule of Liabilities of the Chil- dren's Kndowmeut Company. In the district court yesterday the schedule of liabilities of the Children's Endowment society was tiled, the total amount of the indebtedness being placed at §253,813.93. Of this sum the greater part was incurred In writing policies, and in the amount named above the followiue items are included: Personal tax. $1,025: salary and com missions, 5459.50: matured policies, $1,460.75, and minor items which tro to make the total amount of this indebted ness $3,021.1 L This is, of course, to b3 deducted from the total liabilities, and because ot the nature of the corpora tion is practically a preferred claim, which will be paid dollar for dollar. This leaves the liabilities of the so ciety, which are to be paid on a pro rata basis, at 1250.888.79. The total amount of resources with which to meet this indebtedness is slightly over $150, --000, if the assets come up to the values Kiven iv the schedule. On this basis every stockholder will receive about 00 cents on the dollar on the amouut paid into the corporation. The table or liabilities as made up on the amount paid in. if it were made up on the face value of the policies held it would amount to about $3,5J0,000. and the resources would be but a drop in the bucket. The returns to the stock holders, compared with the face valua Df their policies, would be about 5 per rent. However, it is held by the as signee that the society is in the nature of a co-operative or mutual insurance company, and that each policy holder is a stockholder, the face values of the stock issued being the total capital stock and the amount paid on the share being tue paid-iii capital. HERE'S A HOWDY DO. Bt. Anthony Propsrty Involved Over Wrong Survey .Line s. Yesterday a suit of ejectment was be gun before Jud«e Hicks in chambers. The suit was brought by Amelia Tiir ton against Charles E. Herman and others, and the proparly involved is the south halt of lots 1 and 2 iv St. Anthony addition. The trouble was caused by a difference it the surveys of ihat part of the city. Judge Hicks, after hearing a portion of the testimony, decided he could not continue the hearing until he had heard the evidence of B. W. Bron bou, who made the original survey of the tract in ISI9. The case will be taken up again Monday, when Mr. Brouson will be present. The surveys by which the transfers of the property have been mado were made in 187G by Snmuel H. Baker and J. H. Gilmore. The matter of a difference in surveys is a serious one, and interests all tiie property owners in the vicinity. The southern part of the addition is owned by the park board, havii.g been cou iL-mued for the east bank uarkway. The original survey made the streets run at right angles, and the revision of Mr. Baser corrected the error.and made the streets run according to section lines. This makes a difference in the two-surveys of about twenty-live feet in the northeastern part of the plat. The original survey ol Mr. Bronson was made in 1849. and the tract was. an iso lated piece of land at that time. Kufus Cooke also made surveys of the same land in 1557 to ISG4, which he compiled at that time into maps he now possesses NORTH SIDE LIBiUKY Opened Yesterday Under ost Auspicious Circumstances. The new branch-of the public library on the North side was auspiciously opened yesterday atternoon and even ing with a reception which was at tended by many prominent citizens. The new building is a model of its kind, the interior being finished in pol ished oak, and is divided in the most modern style and after the manner lately adopted in public libraries. Last evening a special programme was provided, consisting of informal speeches and addresses, with music and refreshments. A. T. Ankeuy,chairman of the buildiug committee, staled the cost, and tiie keys were turned over • to Librarian Hosmer, who will in turn offered ihe free use of the structure and contents to the citizens. The trust was accepted, aiul congratulatory remarks were made. The members of the library board present were Mayor Eustis, Prof. Northrnp, Prof. Oftedahl, £. M. John son, A. M. Goodrich, C. li. Cameron, J. G. AJoore. Aldermen's Relatives. The council committee on claims met yesterday morning and passed a num ber of bills. A bill ani9unting to fi26 for copying the books and records of William Wintheiser, the ex-foreman of the water works, was presented and caused something of a wrangle. The copyists were awarded something like $:3 a day, and ihe committee were of the opinion it was a trifle too much, inas much as the cooyists were women. The bill was passed, however. Certain alder men had evidently taken advantage of the matter to give their relatives some thing to do. One alderman had four relatives among the copyists, and an other two.

THE CLERK ARRAIGNED FOR STEAL ING FROM HIS EMPLOYER. m. b t:< i »\ i:s «.i\ *: testimony. A Suit Has Bsen Commenoecl Which Involves Property Lc cated on the Kast Side— The Court Declares the Salt-Sprink ling Ordinance Invalid — A Gambling Debt. The trial of Fred Yore, tho young man accused of robbing P. M. X oberts. the hardware man, while in his employ as a clerk, last June, came up in the district court yesterday, and was not completed last night. It will be con tinued this morning before Judge Jami son. It is charged that Yore, without au thority, disposed of goods and failed to account for the atiinc. Tho evidence against Yore was procured by detect ives in the employ of Goo ding's Detect ive agency, who, in the euise of clerks, bought a number of articles from Yore, which he failed to account for to the firm. The detectives tell a very straight story, which Is corroborated by Yore's own testimony, who justifies himself for his action on the ground that he was influenced by them to commit the crime, but he failed to make his story clear on a number of points. The trial will probably be concluded today. It is said that great pressure has been broueht to bear on Mr. Roberts by Tore's friends and relatives to settle the case, which he has steadily refused to do on the grounds that this is not the only case that he has had to contend with, and considers some one should be made an example of, not only for his own protection, but other merchants. County Attorney Nye is conducting the case personally. CHLORIDK OF SODIUM. The Salt Ordinance, Rscently Passed, Declared Invalid. At a recent meeting of the city coun cil an ordinance prohioiting the sprin kling of salt and sand on street oar tracks was passed. It was declared that the custom of* the street railway company in putting the salt and sand on its tracks was operating a nuisance, inasmuch as it ruined the sleighing on the streets. In spite of this ordinance the company continued as before, and yesterday Vice President C. C. Good rich was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Edwin Coaley, a Central avenue feed man. The latter swore that the 6leighing in front of his store was ruined, and his trade suffered in conse quence. Mr. Goodrich was arraigned yester day afternoon before Judse Mahonev in the municipal court. It did not take long for the ordinance to be declared void, and the case to be dismissed. Judge Mahoney held that the ordi nance was invalid for the reason it was specifically directed against the street railway company, and was therefore class legislation. It prohibited one cor poration from doing what others were permitted to do. Should the ordinance at any time be amended so that its ap plication becomes general, it will no doubt be valid. A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. Annual Banquet or Che Lumbar Association. The second floor of the West hotel presented an animated aud brilliant appearance last night, the occasion beiutr the third annual banquet and ball of the Mississippi Valley Lumber, Sash and Door Salesmen's association. The courtly knights of the association and their fair ladies were out in full numbers, and a most delightful evening was passed. The bang vet, per se, was served in the matchless manner cus tomary with Col. West, and the cuisine of the hotel was taxed for dainty deli cacies. Following the sumptuous repast dancing was participated in and a most enjoyable evening was passed. The most important action of the meeting was the adoption of an amend ment to the constitution, making it the duty of the secretary to endeavor to se cure positions for traveling men out of employment, and to bring the employer and salesman closer together in this way. The plan has been adopted by many Eastern associations and has worked advantageously. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, H. H. Collins, St. Paul; vice president, E. A. Landon, St. Louis; secretary, Piatt B. Walker, Jr., Minneapolis; treasurer, 11. B. Waite. Minneapolis; directors, E. C. Sheviin aud Kichard. Butler. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Sensational Report About the Capture of Menage. A rumor gained currency yesterday afternoon to the effect that Louis F. Menage, the defaulting president of the Guaranty Loan company, and a fugi tive from justice, had been arrested in South America. Inquiry was made of Sheriff E^e and other officials, but they denied all knowledge of the report, which was not given any credence. AFTER A JUICY PLUM. C. R. Cameron in the Field for U. F. District Attorney. According to the latest reports from Washington another candidate is in the field for the position of United States district attorney in the person of C. It. Cameron, of this city, whose applica tion was tiled on the 13th hist. The same report has it that a factional fight has arisen between the adherents of the other candidates, and in this con nection it is stated that charges have been made against McCafferty by Chris O'Brien. Mr. McCafferty Das the in dorsement of poran, and the powers that be, and his chances for securing the appointment have been regarded as first-ciass. A Gambling Debt. Suit was commenced yesterday by James Sheerin, of St. Paul, against the Fust National Bank of Minneapolis to enforce the payment of a certificate of deposit for S3OO. made out to Emil V. Bogreu. The latter lost the certificate, together with considerable cash, in a poker game at St. Paul. On Dec. 11 Sheeriu and Boeren entered the bank, and the former turned over the certifi cate expecting to get the money on it. Bogren, however, ordered the bank to retain possession of the certificate, which was done. Now Sheerin sues the bank. The defense sets up a counter claim for $110, the amount of cash Bogren claims to have lost to Sbeerin. The latter stated on the witness stand that he bought the certificate from James Turner, of St. Paul. Card and Label Lieajjue.

THEY TACKLE QUESTIONS OF "GREAT WEIGHT AND IMPORTANCE." H WOII ICI S'MS AND BRADISH Both Gentlemen Had Their Por traits Reversed — Fahey Ap pointed Street Commissioner of the Ninth Ward— The May or's Veto Availed Him Noth f ng — A Resolution Passed Over His Head. Tho meeting of the city council last night was tame in comparison with Its predecessors. The one matter that, was expected to create some diversion for the i- spectators passed off serenely, though Aid. U radish of the Ninth ward wns considerably worsted. He expected to have his candidate, Amasi 11. Weeks, elected street commissiouer.aud made a facetious speech in nominating him. Aid. McGuire nominated the present incumbent, Edward Fahey, and had the felicity of seeing him elected by a vote of IS to 8. Aid. Bradish and Mr. Weeks were not in it. The former, in consequence, feels chagrined, and made no attempt last night to hide his discomfiture. It was a case of his own "combine" turning against him. Peter Jensen was appointed pound master of the Seventh district, and I. F. Adams was appointed to serve in the Sixth. Supt. Snyder, of the poor department, submitted a report of the disbursement of the $2,000 from the contingent fund for the relief of the poor. The report was satisfactory to the council. Aid. McAllister bobbed up aerain as a reformer. He submitted two ordinances for first reading. The first one is quite a departure from the routine of the council, and will no doubt meet with considerable opposition on part of the saloonkeepers, against whom it is di rected. The ordinance provides that between the hours of 12 midnight and 5 in the morning all curtains, shades, screens or other obstruc tions must be removed from the windows and doors of saoons. In fact, everything must be open so that the interior of saloons will be exposed to the view from the outside. The or dinance also prohibits female "box workers" and waitresses in concert halls or saloons. The other ordinance amend ed the old one relative to selling liquors in or adjacent to buildings where the atrical performances i>-- "iv««. '"»>q amendment knocked 01 tt'io V 7" :i'*ad jacout," and allows saiuuiis tv. oc con ducted in buildings that are not used for theatricals, even though they be ad jacent. When the matter of the mayors veto of the Twelfth ward engine house lot came up, Aid. Kollins remarked that when his honor stated he (Kol lius) was aware at the time of choosing the lot that another and better one could be purchased ror less money he lied—de liberately lied. At the meeting of the council two weeks ago the veto was sent in and disposed of in such a man ner that an opportunity of passing it over the mayor's head could be taken advantage of. Aid. Lackey, in speak ing on the question last night, stated that the insurance men who signed the petition against locating the engine house in the Twelfth ward had done so under a misapprehension. They had been told when the petition was pre sented to them that it was a paper ask ing for a house in the Tenth ward. The matter had been misrepresented to them, that was all. Tne result of the whole thing was that the mayor's por trait was turned to the wajl, to use a fig urative term of speech. Nineteen of the aldermen voted to pass the resolution in spite of nis veto and long communica tion. The nineteen votes were suf ficient, and the Twelfth ward engine house will be built. When the affair was all over Aid. Kollins, with a grin on his face which spread from ear to ear, said: "I wonder if he (meaning the mayor) wiil take a tumble now. He ought to know that when a 'skunk' is cornered he will fight." The alderman had reference to the interview in a newspaper in which the mayor referred to him as the odorifer ous pole cat. Aid. Rollins states that if the mayor refuses to sign the warrant for the uayment of the lot, he will se cure a writ of mandamus competing him to do so. Somebody's Ragguge. A little bundle of humanity was lifted off the tram from Owanatonna, last night, at the union depot. A tag was attached to the bundle, announcing that "Hannah Dahl was destined to the care of F. C. Goodale, 128 Seventh street north." The little girl is a waif and came from the state school at Owa tonna. Mr. Goodale was not at the depot, so the little tot was taken to the centr al station, where she was turned over to Matron Paine. Later in the evening Mr. Goodale was notified aud presented himself at the station, where Hannah was turned over to him. She is ii ye years old and very pretty, '* Suspect White's Brother.

Nearly every manufacturer and jobber reports an increase in saies beside mure fre quent inquiries, which indicate a revival of demand. The business done by the lumbermen durum tlio past ten days compares quite favorably with thai of the same period last year. The pros pect looks much brighter, and, with a stiffening of prices a lready pro nounced, the conditions are now better than they have been since last spring. Will be Treated Right.

Mr. Penney states that so far as White is concerned he is sure there will be an acquittal. White, he says, has a bad record, but is not guilty of murder. The Alleged Highwaymen' John Moshik and James Rogan, the alleged highwaymen arrested by the inspectors several days ago on the charge of robbing suburban residents and farmers, were arraigned in tlie po lice court yesterday. Their cases were continued until today, owing to the ab sence of several witnesses. A number of persons called at the central station and identified the men as the ones who held them up and took away their cash. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES.

CANADIAN P. P. A.S. For Protection of Protestants and Not Persecution of Catholic-;. Hamilton, Ont., Jan. 26.— The main body of the Protestant Protective asso ciation convention, which has been in session here this week, adjourned early this morning. The installation of the newly elected officers occupied along time, the ceremonies and obligations being of a varied character. The latter are said to be very strone, cover ing several closely printed pages. The retiring grand president per formed the duties of instal lation. Arguments that the society is one for protection of tiie interests of Protestants and not for the persecution of Roman Catholics prevailed, and this resolution, which was deemed the most vital one before the convention, was carried. The missionary board of the Loyal Protestant (or Patriotic) Women's association, which has been In session jointly with the P. P. A., also concluded its labors today. The board has decided to eschew politics, in which it had here tofore interested itself, and to give an undivided zeal to the conversion of Roman Catholics throughout Canada to evangelical Christianity. SOLD A TOWN CHEAP. A Town That Once Cost Over Seven Millions. New York.

The boom city of Fort Payne was sold at sheriff's sale to E. N. Cullom for J60.000. The sale in cludes 30,000 acres of ore land, 2,000 city lots, ore crushing works, furnaces, three factories, two hotels and other property. Fort Payne was the first experiment of a number ot New England capitalists to found a city In the South.

There Is a Great Deal of Human Nature In This Document, To Say Nothing of a Large Amount of Human Needs and Wants. Ono day recently the prominent no tary Carlos L. Smith, Esq., was called upon by a lady, Mrs. G. A.

In the palace, Emperor William received Prince Bismarck with the greatest dis tinction, surrounded by a brilliant staff jf officers of the highest rank. The welcome which the emperor ex tended to Princo Bismarck was ex tremely cordial, and it was evident that the prince was much touched at ths heartiness of the emperor's manner. The three eldest sons of Emperor Will iam were present at the reception. At 1:45 p. in. luncheon was served in the emperor's private rooms, where only three covers were laid— one for the em peror, one for the empress and one for Prince Bismarck, i he- emperor wore the uniform of the Silesiau cuirassiers. The Magdeburg cuirassiers.

After luncheon Prince Bismarck retired to his own room for a rest and Emperor William went for a ride. Prince Bismarck'sarrival at the castle was followed by an enthusiastic succes sion of demonstrations upon the part of the people. Thousands upon thousands of the people packed the square in front of the castle, singing the national anthem. "Wacht am Rhein" and "Deutschland Heber Alles," The en - thusiasm was so great that the emperor and empress, the young princes and Prince Bismarck repeatedly appeared at a window in response to these mani festations, which continued throughout the afternoon. At 3 o'clock Chancel'or yon Caprivi, tollowed by all his secretaries of state, called at the castle and left their cards for Prince Bismarck. AFTEK LUNCHEON the imperial princes visited Prince Bis marck, and at about 4 o'clock Prince Bisnurck drove from the castle and visited the ex-empress of Germany. At. 0:10 p. m. Prince Bismarck gave a dinner, at which ten distinguished guests, including the emperor, empress and king of Saxony, were present. Prince Bismarck will leave Berlin on his return journey to Friediichsruhe at 7:19 p. m. The semi-official Reichsan zeiger says that the announcement that nobody was aware of the emperor's intention io ap proach Prince Bismarck is interpreted as indicating the emperor's desire to divest the occasion of the slightest political significance. The Reichsanzeiger adds that It is un derstood that Prince Bismarck himself does not expect tha emperor to refer to politics. The true explanation of the reconciliation may possibly be found in a statement attributed to Baron de Courcey, formerly French ambassador at Berlin, who is quoted assaying that although the desire for a reapproach ment with Russia possibly influenced the emperor, it is far more likely that he feared Prince Bismarck would vie without being reconciled if tie delayed any longer. It is generally believed that Emperor William has been privately informed by Dr. Schweninger that Prince Bis marck had not long to live. There is some talk in this city today of Count Herbert Bismarck's return to the diplomatic service. A number of towns have made prep arations for elaborate illumination to night, in order to celebrate the return of Prince Bismarck to Berlin. and his reconciliation with the emperor. The train taking Prince Bismarck back to Friedrichsruhe left this city shortly after 7 :30 p. m. EMPEKOK WILLIAM accompanied the ex-chancellor to the railroad station, and they were escorted from the palace to the depot by a strong detachment of cuirassiers and by all the members of the general staff, as well as by a number of generals. At the Lehne railway station the em peror warmly shook Prince Bismarck's hand at the door of the carriage. The same scenes of enthusiasm upon the part of the populace which were wit nessed during the passage of Prince Bismarck from the railroad station to tiie palace upon his arrival here were repeated durine the passage of the prince and emperor from the palace back to the railroad station. Uyon parting with Prince Bismarck, Emperor William repeatedly kissed the veteran upon both cheeks, and. after the latter had entered the railroad car riage, the emperor turned to Count Her bert yon Bismarck and addressed a few words to him, the first in a very lone while. The emperor then resumed his conversation with Prince Bismarck, who leaned out of the carriage window bare headed in order to converse with his niajesty. This exhibition of good feel ings betweeu the emperor and the prince called forth loud cheers from the persons assembled in the depot, and then the whole assemblage joined in singing "Deutschelleber Alles." As the train drew out of the depot there was a perfect storm of "hochs," to which ap plause Prince Bismarck smiled and bowed. Count Herbert yon Bismarck and Count William you Bismarck, as well as Dr. Schweninger, accompanied the prince back to Friedrichsruhe. Dozens of large bouquets of flowers were placed in the prince's carriage be fore it drew out of the depot. Emperor William was loudly cheered upon leav ing the railroad staiiou, aud on his way back to the palace. LEAVING HIS HOME. Prince Bismarck's Departure Prom Friedrichsrahe for the Capital. Berlin, Jan . 26.— A dispatch from Friedrichsruhe, received here today, was the signal for an outburst of cheer ing when its contents were made known in front of the different newspaper offices, in the clubs and iv other public places, for it announced that Prince Bismarck, ex-chancellor ot the German empire, the man of blood and iron, had started for Berlin at 9:30 a. m., in order to cement the reconciliation which had taken place between the emperor and himself, after four loug years of bitter ness. Prince Bismarck, when he left the cas tle of Friedrichsruhe, was accompanied by Princess Bismarck. Count Herbert Bismarck, aud Drs. Schweninger and Chrysander. The whole neighborhood of Friedrichsruhe turned out to cheer the veteran statesman, as he departed for Berlin, and six beautiful young girls, dressed entirely in white, presented the prince with a handsome laurel wreath, inscribed: "A happy journey." These six young girls also carried large baskets of flowers, and they pre ceded Prince Bismarck's party to the railroad station, strewing the road with flowers, amid the vociferous cheering of the immense crowds which lined the route, and did their utmost to make the veteran statesman feel that he had a large share of the hearts of PATRIOTIC GKIi.MAXS. Prince Bismarck wore the uniform of the Magdeburger Yellow Cuirassiers, the corps ho loved so well, and whose uniform he has been so frequently pictured as wearing. Over his uniform the prince wore a heavy fur overcoat, and upon his head was the traditional German army officer's cap. The prince seemed greatly pleased with the honors extended to him, and shook hands with many of those who gathered at the railroad station in order to see him off. As the train left the depot crowds as sembled and broke out into loud cries of: "Auf frohes wiedersehen." Previous to the departure of the prince and his party from the castle of Friedrichsruhe, an atmosphere of most pleasurable excitement prevailed there and in fact this delightful feeling had prevailed at Friednchsruhe since Tues day, when the aid de camp of the em- THE ADMIRAL CIGARETTE, Made of the highest grade of Tobacco, and outside of th« Cigarette Combiuatiou, "FINER THAN SILK."

Col. yon Moltke. paid his mem orable visit to tin; prince , and brought with him the glad tidings that Emperor William was seeking a reconciliation with the veteran states man who had done so much to build up the German empire. There is no doubting that Prince Bismarck shows unmistakable pleasure at the reconciliation, and it is noticed that it has had the effect of greatly improving the prince's health, as well as his spirits. Since Tuesday last Prince Bismarck has seemed to be a changed man, and has been LAUGHING AND JOKING in his old manner, lie lias also been able to take long walks in the grounds of the castle, and has personally an swered a number of the many telegrams of congratulation which have been pour ing in upon the prince from all quarters since the announcement was made that he had become reconciled to the em peror. Prince Bismarck and his family breakfasted at an early hour this morn ing, and the family and servants were delighted when they noticed that ihe prince had douned his historic cuiras sier uniform tor the first time in sev eral years. The prince seemed pleased at his appearance, for the handsome uniform makes him look like a giant compared with:the frock coat of civilian attire, which he has been in the habit of wearing recently. The presentation of the laurel wreath at the hands of the young girls, previ ously referred to in this dispatch, also highly pleased the veteran statesman. '1 lie train, engine and railroad depot were gaily decorated with flowers and bunting, and every station along the road to Berlin was decorated and crowded with people who cheered the prince on his way to the capital. In Berlin itself the people were astir at a much earlier hour than usual, and the streets soon became filled with peo ple in holiday attire, pressing onward in order to take up the best position possible along the route which the prince would follow from the Lehrte or Hanoverian railroad station through the Brandenburg gate and along Unter den Linden, to the imperial castle. The emperor intended to welcome Prince Bismarck in person at the railroad sta tion, but at the last moment was obliged to send his regrets to the prince, as he is was obliged to meet, the king of Saxony at the An halt railroad station at exactly the same hour that the prince was to arrive in Berlin.

Senator Culiom's Memory. To the Editor of the Globe. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, in his speech on Hawaii affairs, said: "A distinguished American issued the order: 'If any man pull down the Amer ican tliui shoot him on the spot.' At a later day, by the order,if 1 mistake not, of Gen. Butler, at New Orleans, one man was shot for the same act for which another now receives the thanks of the executive of the United States." Gen. Dix, who was the author of the patriotic pleasantry which served, with <i picture of the American flag, to dec orate much of the stationery used In the early days of the Rebellion, was at that time a member of Mr. Buchanan's cabinet. To be accurate, what he did say was: "if any one attempts to haul down the American flag shoot him on the spot." "When 1 read it," wrote Gen. Butler to Gen. Dix long after, "my " heart bounded with joy. It was the first bold stroko in favor of the Union under the past administration." At a later date Gen. Butler had the pleasure of sending to Gen. Dix from Mew Or leans the identical flag hauled down by William B. Mumford, together with the Confederate flag raised in its place. Mumford, who was undoubtedly the "one man shot" referred to by Senator C nl loin, was arrested and tried by a military commission who condemned him to death. Gen. Butler approved the sentence, and issued the following order: "Special Order Xo. 10: New Orleans, June 5, 1862.— William B. Mumford, a citizen of New Orleans, having been convicted before the military commis sion of treason, and an overt act tnereof. in tearing down the United States flag from a public building in the United States for the purpose of inciting other evil-minded persons to further resist ance to the laws and arms of the United States, after the flag was placed there by Commodore Farragut, of the United States navy, "It is ordered that he be executed, ac cording to the sentence of the said mili tary commission, on Saturday, June 7, instant, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 in., under the direction of the provost marshal of New Orleans, and for so do iug this shall be his sufficient warrant." Mumford was hanged on a gallows erected near the mint, where he hauled down the flag.
