Antequarian Researches. New York, May 3. A Cairo, Egypt, disoatch 8avs tbat Maspero has lust opened some more of the Pyramids of sakkara, enclosing me iomD9 oi me kings of the fifth dynasty. The mor tuary chapels of each contain about eighty square metres of the smallest and most closely written texts giving the precise "details of the re ligious belief of that age. It's ccomplete coup de grace to Osiris Masonic theory audall prcv VÍOU8 conceptions are entirely upset, except. Rosetta stone 199. No disco ery in Egypt equals this in scientific value.

The social and political atmosphere at St. Petersburg U grow ing thicker and thicker, and Is fraught with omens of another approaching storm.

The Daily Jfetos says: "If we are correctly informed Bismarck, or whoever is striving to bring about a conference for the pur pose of devising a more stringent mode ot dealing with political con spirators has sent an invitation to England and has thus imprudently in vited a refusal, as England, following the example ot France, will certainly not participate in any conference de signed to shield unpopular govern ments from the consequences of their unpopularity.

Henry George, of California lectured at Chickering Hall last night on "The Next Great struggle." He was introduced by T. B. Thurber and in the course of his remarks, said: "I measure my words atter looking at many things aud thinking ot many things. it is my opinion that as it stands to-day, this great American experiment in free government, is a failure. Meu of New York, do you govern yourselves? It is merely a question of who will be your boss. Even Judges who sit on the judicial bench who buy their places. Has not Brooklyn a boss? Look at Philadelphia ! For years and years she has lain prostrated at the feet of a boss. The same is true of Baltimore and San Francisco. It is not the problem of municipal gov eminent we have, but of Republican trovcrnmcnt." Monetary Conference. Paris, May 3.

Tuesday's Sun says: "both press and bar ot ban Fraiicisco express indignation at the intention of the Judges of the high courts of that city to take two months vacation during the sum mcr in view ot this practico iu other btates, par ticularity in those of the Atlantic coast. This protest is somewhat of an innovation. Iu this city where Judges are paid about four times as much lor service as those ot ban Francisco, tho summer vacation lasts from the latter part of June till the first Monday in October. Besides this a part or the whole of one week In every month is practically vacation time with the judiciary and they never sit on Saturday's with the ex ception of one Judge in each court for two or three hours at the Chambers to make orders and listen to other various applications. The press and bar of Sau Francisco ought to look eastward to see how Judges do in other States and they will como to tho conclusion that they have com- parilively little cause for complaint." Garflald and the Deadlock. Washington, May 3. A reporter of the Western Associated Press visited the White House, to-night and. obtain ed the true version of the President's views of the situation and his note concerning the same. The President did not retain a copy but the note was 6hort. In the first place, the Presi dent wrote that he was in favor ot a free ballot and a fair count, not only in Virginia, but in every other state, aud would encourage it, but ho would not assist in elevating a man who, as editor of a daily, is constantly attack ing and defaming him and his admin istration. This referred to Gorham, editor of the National Jlepublican, and nominee of the Republicans for Secretary ot the Senate. The above is substantially all the letter coutaiucd. In it the President said nothing about the pending nomination in t he Senate. On this subject the President main tains the same position he took before the caucus committee. He says he sent all the nominations to the Seuate in good faith, if the Senate saw fit to pass some of the nominations over that is the business of the Senate, but he could not countenance any move ment or suggestion for selecting cer tain nominations for consideration and leaving others unacted upoii. As to what the Senate shall do he has nothing to say or suggest. That is for the Senate to determine. They Deny There Was a Flood.

Cincinnati Gazette, Iu a conversation prompted by a mention of Jeff Davis' forthcoming volume ot memoirs, a prominent offi. cor of the late Southern Confederacy related to a representative of the i ribune the following reminiscences of the war : ' I was," he 6aid. "appointed on the Forjpgu Affairs Committee bv the Confederate Congress. I voted lor the abolition of slavery as a matter of military necessity, but it was only supported by a few members from the border States which had a miuor interest in the matter. A Border Committee met over a confectionery 6tore iu Richmond. The chairman of it was Atkins, a member to Congress from Teuuessee. At one time we had a scheme to make Leo Dictator of ihc whole Confederacy, and a committee was sent to the camp to see Lee. When they had stated their proposi tion he said: "Gentlemen, I am so hard pressed with the duties I now have that If any more duties were added they would break me down. So great are my re sponsibilities and my danger that when I say my prayers night and morning it is as much as I cau do to stop from asking God to bring every day the ball that is to close mv ac countability. There is no way said Leo, 'to turn. I am afraid to leave my lines with my army and march south, because there is nothing to cat wherever I may go. The country-is empty, empty of men, empty of food.' "Just before our lines were broken at Petersburgh I took dinner with several officers, and General Lee there related that Mr. Davis had the day before sent him a message to leave his army and go over to Richmond, a joarney both ways of a day, or near ly so to have a conference. Leo re plied that the necessities of the army, every moment were such that he could not go away, that he expected an at tack every momeut. To this answer waR returned that Mr. Davis still in sisted on seeing Lee that day. Lee replied that he would not be respon sible for what happened iu his ab sence; that only the very gravest oc casion would justify his goiug. Davis inflexibly replied that General Lee must come; and, said Lee, tell ing this story, wheu we got together there was no business or question of any moro moment be tween us than might bring two old women together. Mr. Davis had merely determined that I must come, no matter what the consequences might be. A report has been circulated in Missouri that General Graut offered his service to Sterling Price and Claib Johusou against the Union. "Now at that period 1 was the sec retary of both Jackson and Price. I slept with Claib Jackson duriug all that period prececdiug and about se cession, l wrote his proclamation as governor of the slate If Gu. Grant had ever written a letter offering his services to Missouri the letter would have come to me I have also said there was a want of responsibility in the partv making the statement. Sterling Price was one of the best sol diers in the United States. He beat Lyon at the military game and killed him. No man loved fighting more than Price. I can liken him to noth ing but one of - those freight locomo tives you see standing in the depot with "the fires out, an ugly mass of metal, stupid to look at, and without apparent life or fire until you light a fire under it, and then it will drag trains of cars over mountain tops. That was General Price. PERSONAL. Hon. Mariano S. Otero is in town. E. II. Watkins is up from McPhcr- 8011. James aud Johu Dougherty are over from Mora. C. D. W.
