The Chicazo Clul met the Mutual Club for the sixth time this year yesterday afternoon. wd defeated them by the most decisive score shat has yet been given in the West. The game was the Chicagos' twenty-seventh, and it re- mited o their twenty-third victory, and gave- shem a good comfortable lead in the champion- ship races both in games Jost. aud won. About 1,000 people were present on the grounds,— noof the best audiences of the year. The Mutes, having lost the toss, were quickly dis- posed of for 3 blank, though Anson gave Start 3 base on an error. Barnes led off as usual for the . home nine, and, after waiting as Iong as the rules demanded. took his base on called balls. White followed with & fine bit past (irst, and good liners by Me- Vey and Anson seat in two runs before Glenn gave a chance for a third ‘out. The second fn- ning produced no runs for the Mutes, though Matliews and Booth scored safe hits for them” Spalding opened for the Whites with an -out to Nichols, and Biclaski followed with one of the same sort to Hicks; but Barnes retrieved mat térs by a safe liner, and White came up to take shand. He bhit a fair foul on the right side of 1be plate, and Start went for it and - captured it easlly, leaving Craver tocover first. Theball was well fielded to the latter, but ignominiously dropped,and from that moment thetrouble began Hines shot one away over Treacy’s head for two Dbases, Anson sent one bounding safély past see- ond, McVer had alife given him by Start off Nichols’ throw, Peters hit between Treacy and Tloldsworth for two bases, and Glenn sent one lomming past third—and all the while the runs were coming in, the total being six, and all gained by Craver's uncalled-for mufl of Start’s throw. Spalding was fortunate enough to come o bat twice, and gave Hallinan a chance to ¢. 1t was a nice exhibition of batting to look at, but didn’t seem to amuse the Motuals very much. In the next two in- qings tbe Chicagos drew their only two tlanks of the.game, while the Mutuals put in their only two runs. The first of these waswell carned in the third inning by Start’s desn hit to left ficld, followed bya fine drive Ly Treacy over second, and Hallinan’s long fly over Hines” head for tiwo bases, on which Start seored. During the inning White made a beau- in his attempt_to steal, and also keeplng Start onthird. In the next inning Bootb led off with 2 beautiful hit over McVey, and Matliews dupli- cated it, letting the first man around to third. Holdsworth tnen hit to Anson, and Booth start- ed for home, when Anson sent the ball there. to Yiead him off, but White dropped it, aud the run was scored, it proving to Ue the last cne of the game for the side. The Whites, having now stopped for two innings, began 2main in the fifth, and marked up two me v safe bits of Barnes and Hines, aided by several errors. Peters opened the following inning by Titting “to Hallinan and taking first on that ylaver's wide throw to Start. Glenn followed Arith 2 hit on which a double play was attempted and lost. Safe hits by Barnes and White helped matters materially, and the Mutuals scemed to become _entirely demoralized, allowing three runs to be scored. The following threc.innings were rather unimportant as far as the Mutuals were concerned, and their batting was of the-| mildest kind. This was largely due. to the fact that Capt. Spalding _gratified a very general wish among the audience by put- ting McVey in to pitch, thus giving his many sdmirers & chance to sce the Great Centennial T’henomenon. He was greeted with _considera- ble applause on taking position. He is, asis eneraily known, not in the least a pitcher, but gepem!s on the same kind of underhand throw- foe that has made Devlin, Bradley, Bond, and he like successful. His delivery was not liked 1y the Mutuals, who made only two hits off him in three innings. The three innings referred to viclded the Chicagos onc runeach,and the game ended with the following SCORES " Chicego.

Craver's three errors were very :ustlyd 2nd Hicks didn’t seem able to throw within 1 feet of second on an average.

Hines and Peters were also on their musclein a batting way, as the record shows. The finest fielding of the e was donc b; White, Glenn, and Biclaskl, the first-name making an admirable rccover of alalf-muffed foul ball, aftera long run. The White Stock- Ings’ record for the Jast jveck is satisfactory to sum up, they having made 26 runs to 8 for their antagonists. They have made, up to date, in !;;Enmes, 15 ruus, acainst 50 f%hex{ antag- onists,—an average of nearly 7 as nst o trifle less than 3.

The Fairbanks Club, one of the finest amateur clubs in the West, met the Dreadnanghts vester- day, and played themn an exeellent game, with the Tollowing Tnninga— Falrlanks.... Dreadnaughts. The Fairbanks is getting to be one of the best clubs—as it has becn among the most enter- prising—of any in the city. 1t is composed of well-bred young gentlemen who have fitted themselves out with a tasteful uniform and all necessary equipment, and who play a strong game. They will mect the West End Club, the crack organization of Milwaukee, in the latter city July 4, and a very interesting gawne may be looked for. If the Ailwaukeeans can win from the Fairbanks_they stand an equal chance with any nmateur club {n this city, excepting ouly the Franklins. : THE CHAMPIONSTIP. The first week of the League games by the Fastern branch on Western grounds has been completed, and the result had been what good Judges all along expeeted—to show the Eastern gentlemen tbat, however well they might play on their own grounds, they were hardly strong enough to make much of a showing when they | were away from their rcss:ectiva grounds. The week’s play comprised eleven games, of which the West captured seven, making the score for the whole scason as follows: 1 = TrNT SHRERESEE S IZEIZIFIR] 2 FEI5ISIFIEIRIZ] & cLUEs.

Games lost... .1 4| 5!10.14115'16,18:23'105 The respective situations of the clubs is per- haps more easily understood by the following table: PERSONAL. | Sam Fields, formerly of the Cindinnatis, is now catching for the Actives, of Reading, Penn. Simmons, late-of the St. Lonis Stocks, is now playing in the ficld for the Columbus Buckeyes. The report that Parks, late of the Bostons, hid been rZ-wg:xgml to play with the Cincinnati Reds is not truc. ¢ McGinley, the catcher of the Bostons in the first part of the scason, has been engaged by the St. Louis Browns to take poor Tom Miljer’s place. The Cincinnati Club is in_correspondence with Larkins, pitcher of the Resolutes, to en- ge him as L-Lange pitcher. He is a very bard man to hit. The St. Louis Club have been tryinfi Farrow, of the Resolutes, who caught for Bond four years ago, and l?she suits they will engage him as a substitute. The Bostons celebrated their departure for the West by getting rid of some of their lum- ber. They had under contract thirtecn men at one time, and had to_make an effort to shift some of them. ‘An officinl announcement says that they have released McGinley and Parks— which means, of_course, that they have bought them off. L. J. Brown, formerly of the Lowell Club, has beenengaged by the Bostons as catch- er and gencral player. He is a fine general worker and fair batter. ‘The Eastern clubs are getting themselves in- to shape for next year, and already the an- nouncement of contracts made begins. The Hartfords began by bidding for Mathews, Hallinan, and” Start” of the Mutual team. Neither of the_first two would listen to the overtures, but Joe Start, after mature delibera- tion, agreed to leave New York, and will play next year with the Hartfords at a salary of sat- isfactory proportions. Findin: themselves un- able to get Mathews, the Hartford manage- ment went back home and closed an agreement with Bond, their present pitcher, for 1877. IN GENERAL. The members of the Chicago team who vis- jted Milwaukee last week are loud in their praises of the West End Club, both as skillful players and courteous ‘Thosts. 3 e Clipper, in its last issue, speaks with fa- vo’lr:nnnd, better than that, with_considerable justice, of the Chicazo Club and its play in }\'c\\' ork. 1t is an extraordinary development. The Bostons, who will take up this week in Chicago, will probsbly be fn much betets shape for fine work tgm when they met the Whites in Boston. Ilaving withdrawn Leonard fro ;w:m& u;\d_'shus“g}ijpumcd with the very mn'fi Atting of either Whitney or Josephs, the, improved their team mnl’uln]l;". ot ey v This week the sccond of the Eastern and Western League games, with the latter section at bome, will'be_celebrated by the Mutuals in St. Louis, the Bostons in Chicago, the Hart- fords in Cincinnati, und the Athletics in Loufs- ville. Games will be played on Tuesday, Thurs- day, and Saturday, in each of the four cities. The New Haven Club havegdefeated the Hart- ford and St. Louis Clubs twice cach,and the Bos- tons, Athlctics, and Mutuals once each. They have started on a Western tour,which will bring them to Cincinnati about July 7. Their games have so far been arranged with semi-professional c!ul)s only, though they expect to get on games with all ‘the League clubs after the Eastern ¢lubs have gone home, which will be July 15. The White Stockings will play Wednesda; and Friday of this week In Rockford and Rnclns respectively—provided always that the weather vermits. And, by the way, the extraordina weather-luck of the Chicagos is worthy of speci: comment. Thay left Chicago May 21, and played the following Tuesday in Hastford The first week they Flnyml 5 games, the sccond G games, the third" 5, the fourth 4 games, and this, with one on-their way home, made 21 games In 24 sccular days, and all with the loss of only-one rame, and even that was nearly half finishéd. . Arriving home from this lucky trip, they found that bad weather had been the rule fora month in Chicago, but this state of things obliginglyicleared away, and we have had fair days (with one doubtful exception) ever since, and are likely to keep it up. Verily, great is luck. There was something rather singular in the “draw game” which was played in Loulsville Wednesday. At the end of the thirteenth in- ning, when the game was stopped, a dispateh was of course sent here, and when it arrived it was as light and clear an afternoon as one could wish, and there would have been no difliculty In playing ball for an hour thereafter. Allowing fifteen minutes for_diference in time, and there i3 yet a suspicion that the game was put off, not on account of darkness, but with a strong desire to *‘work the gates’so as to make four sames out of three. In this con- nection, great credit should be miven to the Louisville players for the splendid play which enabled them to make so good a_showing in the gamcs played Wednesday and Thursday. Ilad they been strengthened by the presence of Ful- mer they might’ have easily won both games. It is evident from the delay in putting one of the games over to Monday that the home club recognize the necessity of having their men all in thelr places. TIIE TURF. THE PROSPECTS DEREABOUTS. The West has for several years: been growing in importance as the homeof fine trotting stock, and can now safely claim that more fine horses for this gait are raised here than in all other sections of the country combined. The runner, or racer, and the race itself (as distinguished from the trot), are of comparatively recent in- troduction as a well-attended, popular sport. It is casy to see that this class of horse-breeding is an overflow from Kentucky and thie other more Southern States, and it is greatly to the credit of Illinois and the other Northwestern States, that they have within a few years made so con- siderable a progress in the raising and training of blooded horses. The best and most accessible tracks and train- ing grounds in the West have always been those at DEXTER PANK; and though the fortunes of that racing sta- tion have been numerous and varied, the lov- ersof the sports of the turf are to be congratu- Iated on the success which has attended Col. Mansur’s management, and on the promise which he holds out of thie best running and trot- ting this year. Ithas been announced that two meectings would he held at the Parl: this year, the first to take place June 30 to July 4, both inclusive, and the second July 1S to 21. The first of these meetings is laid out largely for racers, compris- ing ten premfums for that class, with one for pacers, and three for trotters. The date of “the first event being near at hand, a TRIBUNE repre- sentative was moved to make an excursion to the Park to sec what the prospects were, judg- ing from the horses present and the training. He found a goodly list of horseflesh, indeed,— perhaps us tine a collection as has been traincd at any park this summer, certainly far excelling anything ever before noted at this park or in in the West. Beginning at the southern extremity of the long line of stables, the first name met is that of P. M. LILLY, DALLAS, TEXAS, 2 gentleman who represents the extreme of dis- tance. He has under work a fine 3-year-old filly named Belle Barkly, which he has catcred for both 3-year stakes.” She is by imp. Phacton ont out of Capitola, and gives excellent promise. She was winner of two 2-year-old stakes in Texas, doing her milein 1:48%. Next to the filly comes the dark bay +-year-old Jack Hardy, by Phacton, dam by Sovereign. Ie bears the reputation of a good one, and stands winner of aj3-year-old stake in Texas. Next north of Mr. Lilly is to be found 4. TI.

While it clearly appears from what has been shiown ahove that the admirers of racing are to be afforded plenty of sport during the coming month, it should not be forgotten that the trotting interest has mot been_ overlooked. Liberal Emcs bave been oficred, and the re- sult has been a splendid colléction of trotters, some of whom will only use the park as a train- ing ground, while others will enter in one or more classes. Passing about amung the stables of trotters, the reporter found the following among the most notable: -« COL. W. 5. TOUGH Tias Joe Green, a bay gelding, with a record of 2:903¢; Border Eaglc, & gray stallion, who has marked 2:41%{; and fourteen more without record. Among the Intter elass the most prom- ising are b. m. Pinc Leaf, bl. m. Kansas Girl, b. g. J. H. Stiner, and b. g. Rhynodine, a smart syear-old. MORRILL HIGBIE, CANTON, TLL., Thad just arrived with his full string, perhaps the best” on the track. Among them are Gov. Bprague, the wonderful 4-year-old stallion, with arecord of 2:213¢, and Little Fred, well known here, with a rocord of 3:34, W. B. DARLING has b. rr' Frank Davis, who has made fl:sfl}f: 3 m.

GRAVES AND LOOMIS have a bay gelding, full brother to Clementine, of which something may be expected, and also the b. m. Josic, who has never made a rccord. SAM CROOKS, who {s sometimesirreverently called “ Old Pop,” ‘has in tow a long string, but most of them have norecord. In this category come g. g. Ned Kemble, Young Thorn, br. m. Lady Iloughton, Magnolia, Lady Blackbird, and the lHttlo pet Lady of f,ynns.

Beside the more hoted horses named, there gre several trainers like Sam Anderson and George Logan, who have their stables well filled, but with horses of no particular note as yet. 2 BODINE. TIf there wag one lhlngbhmure than another which the- howzemen of Chicago believed in up to Friday, It was the ability of Goodrich’s Bo- dine to beat a large proportion of the horses on the turf, and when, therefore, news came that he had been beaten at Jackson, Mich., in a free- {for-all in 2:41, there wns much curiosity to know how it happened, and to allay that-a reporter csterday called on_Mr. Goodrich, owner of the fi er, and sought information about the’'matter. Mr. Goodrich said he had been at Jackson-at the time the race was trotted, and saw the whole performance, which he charucterized 252 dend steal. It appears from Mr. Goodrich's story that the judges of the race were heavily in the ool-box, and had_to use every possible means o get out. The -pools ‘on the event serregated about $15,000, and the Jjudges didn’t propose to see their fricnds lose it. - Agalp, the track, Mr. Goodrich saye, was in the worst pos- sible shape, being about_snkle deep with mud, 8o that the horses had to ‘trot sround on the outside. In the fourth heat Bodine showed up finely and won by four lengths, but the judges promptly set him back for What they were leased to call foul driving, and gave the heat 0 Reoves. The latter horse was driven by G. J. Fuller, who-has an uncoviable reputation. Many readers will remember him at Dexter Park last summer, when {t was pretty well prov- ed that he took $100 to get his horse distanced. At that time the judges took him out and put in a pew man, when his horse easily won the race. Mr. Goodrich instsuced several other things to bear out his assertiop that the whole & was o harefaced swindle in the interest of the pool-box. Bodine and Granville will go to Saginaw and take part in the meeting there. DEXTER PARK ENTRIES. Entrles for four races at the first Dexter Park meeting were opened last evening.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmrcaco, June 24.—The question of material for the new Court-House is receiving a great dcal of attention in building and stone drcles, and judging from the reports of the meeting Friday of the Committee of the County Board having the matter in charge, with the different stone men, is no nearer a solution than before. Their entire deliberations scem to come to naught, through the incompetency, ignorance, or dishonesty of the majority. With low, responsible bidders, figuring to do the work with the best and most durable building ma- terial in the United States, aside from granite, easy of access and in practically {nexhaustible quantity (T refer of course to Lemont lime- stone), this - dickering and _quibbling seems to practical people to be entirely unnecessary. The idea of any one of the Lemont quarri ing capablealone of furnishing all the material required for the building is one not honestly en- tertained by a single bidder for the entire eut- stone work.” The first-class cntting-stock of all the quarries, cxcepting Walker's * upper quarry,” is almost one and the same in quality aud texture, all being magnesian lime-stone and (‘nnrrind from the same ledges or-strata of rock, the line fences between the quarries having no effect whatever upou the character or quality of the rock on either side. Walker's ' upper quarry,” noted as an exception, isTocated a little ‘Thigher up the valley than any of the others, and tle thick stone found therein is from ledzes oceupying a meologically hizher position, which ledges or strata ““run out,” and are not found in the quarries farther down the valley. The quality of the stone found fn this quarry is, to use the term employed by Ald. Kerber before the Committee, of a ‘‘chalky ™ nature, and con- sequently not as darable as the hard, firm, and thiner stratas, although it is much songht after by some stone-cutters on account of the ease with which it is worked, and not for its endur- ing qualitles. ¢ asscrtion made before the Committee by Ald. Kerber, that the stones from the different quarrles woald have a checkered appearance, is one which a person of his experience and stand- ing would not have made on sober second thought, and .can ouly be accounted for on his supposition that the carcless, reckless manner in which a Iarge portion of the lime-stone work has been done in this city since the fire by frre- sponsible and unprincipled stone-cutters has become the rule instcad of the exception. As evidence of the identical nature of the stone from different quarries at Lemont, I would refer to the Ficld building erected last year by Marshall Field, Esq., on the northeast corner of Monroe an: Franklin strects. The stonc in this building was obtained from six different quarries at Le- mont, and a building more uniform in color and texture cannot be found in the city. The time in which it was erected, only nincty days, made it Mpcmtlvclf necessary to get first-ciass stock from any of the quarrics when it could be had. Of course, a thorough knowledge of the stone, aswell as honest judgment and discretion, is necessary In geleeting stock. It has been and now is 4’ common practicc among some stone- cutters to buy inferior stone of the quarrymen at reduced prices, and use tae same for purposes andin places where ouly first-class materfal should be used, and, of course, Lemont_stone, and not the dishouest stonc-cutter, has to bear the odium. Such action is necee- garlly detrimental to the Lemont stone intercst, and can only be partially excused by the plea of sbarp competition and very low rices. It-is to be hoped that our County Boara will tako an honekt, practical, common- sense view of this matter, and at once ccase “earrving coals to Newcastle” by refusing to entertain or consider the merits of inferior foreign material while the best limestone in the world_for strength, durability, and beauty of color lies at our doors ininexhaustible quantity. Respectfully, C. B. KIMBELL. . LERVANT GIRLS’ WAGES. 7o the Editor of The Tribune. Cr1cAGO, June 24.—Your correspondent of a week or two ago scems wofullybehind the times when he says wages are as high as ever. If he Is foolish enongh to pay in that department alone (since he does in no other) what he did years ago, I say let him in his stupidity pay on. If so lacking in management and good sense he would spend all he had, and no miatter in what way it goes, but, in justice to the hundreds who have to combat his example in dealing with their own servants, I beg to inform him to the contrary. Balarfed people know full well—too well—that even those of long experience, ut- most faithfulness, and the most skill cannot command the wages of even two years 2o, and happy are thousands who can get a situa- tion at half their former compensation. Why will any one be 80 unjust to themselves andto those in other callings as to submit to the exorbitant rates servant girls have charged? Formyself I have paid for over a year $3 per week tos more excellent girl than I formerly had at higher wages, have never had a better in a twenty-six years’ experience of housekeeping, and have not chang durlng the year, neither do I ever give as a due or'right ** a day out.> Another later correspondent urges that girls are not overpaid, and gives utterance to is very sympathetic wail in their behalf. If ‘she has sympathy for the overworked and suffering, Tet her goto some of these by-streets and alley- ways, and {n the humble rooms and tenement- houses of the day-laborers find far worthier ob- ccts for her sympathy. There are men toiliny ard all the day in the broiling sun for $1, board- assisting to support ing themselves and i their familics.

T rejolce that now that the supply exceeds the demand that thd ladies can with courage de- mand a very different state of things from what we bave lived under for the past three or four years. Let us not grow hard-hearted, but give our aid and sympathy to the thonsands who so sadly need and degerve it, and waste no more on the li'_““‘l'“”"- exacting servant-girls of the perlod. For the attalnment of that énd, let us 1adics, one and all, labor and co-operate. W. THE KESTUCKY STIOWER. OF PLEST. i v the Editor of The Tribure. Cmicaco, Junc 23.—1 was somewhat amused at the very novel explanation, given in your col- umus last week, of the so-called *“showers of flesh.”” At last we have a proper explanation of this much-talked of phenomenon. Mr. L. Brandels writes to the Sanitarian for May: Tn 1537, while Paracelsns was engaged in the production of his ‘'Elixir of Life." he came. across a very strange-looking vegetable mass, to which he gave the name of **Nostoc.” The want of rapli transportation, combined with the perish- able nature of the snbstances fallen, have hitherto prevented a complete and exhaostive exam- ination. The specimens of the **Kentucky shower,” however, reached this city well preserved in glycerine, and it has been comparatively caxy to identify the sub- stance, and to fix its status. The ** Kentncky wonder” jsnothing more nor lezs than the ** Nos- toc™ of the old alchemist. ‘The Nostoc belongs to the confervze; it conaists of translucent, gelatin- ous bodies, joincd together by thread-like tubes or seed-bearcrs. There are abont fifty species of this singular plant classifled; two or three kinds have even been found in a fosril state. Like other confervre, the Nostoc propazates by self-divieion a8 well asby seedsorspores. When thesespares work their way out of tie gelatinons envelope they may ‘e wafted by the wind here and there, and they may be carried great distances. Wherever they may fall, and find congenial soil, viz. : dampness or re- cent rain, they, will thrive and spread very rapidly, and many eases arc recorded where they have covered miles of ground, in a very few hours, with long strings of Nostoc. On acconnt of this mpldity of growth, people al- most everywhere faithfally believe the Nostoc to fall from the clouas, and ascribe to It meny mys- terious virtues. The plant is not conflned” to any specin locality or to any climates sown by the whirlwind, carried by a cnrrent of air, in nced of molstare only for existence and_snpport, it thrives everywhere. Icebergs afloat in_midocean have been fonnd covered withit. In New Zealand it i3 found in large masses of quaking jelly several feet in_circumference, and coverinZ milea of damp goll: and in onr own country it may be found in damp woods, on meadows, and on Tmarshy of even gravelly bottom. All the Nostocs are composed of a semi-liquid celluloge and vezutable proteine, The edible Nos- toc {3 highly valaed in China, where it forms an es- gential inzredient of the cdible birds-nest soup. The flesh that was supposed to have fallen_from the clonds in Kentacky is the flesh-colored Nostoc (N. carnenm of the botaniet): the flavor of it ap- rmnchcu froz or spring chicken lexs, and i3 greed- ly devourcd by almost all domeatic animals. * are not rare, and are Snch supposed **showers™ entirely in harmony with natural lawwa. In the East Indics the same Nostoc is nsed as an application in ulcers and acrofnlons disease, while every nation in the East considers it nouriching znd palatable, and uzes it even for food when dried by sun heat. Therefore, this Kentucky *shower? was not. caused by engorged buzzards flying over that partienlar place and disgorgiag themselves while in the air. There is also a cerfain kind of Nostoe (Fremella Nostoc), a greeuish, gelatin- ous, translucent plant, that develops rapidly after rain, in wet places. It is a species of Alg3, and s popularly supposed to be fallen stars; hence called star-jelly, and it is also called witches'-butter. E. AL THOAT PUNCIL To the Editor of The:Tridune.

Spectal Dispatch to The Tridune. ‘WasmNgToy, D. C., June 24.—The prospect of an early adjournment is now less favorahle than many have supposed it to be during the past week. The failure of the Conference Com- mittee on the Legislative, Executive, and Ju- dicial Appropriation bill to come to any agree- ment indicates 2 long and bitter struggle be- tween the two branches over the most impor- tant bills. The Conference Committee was in session for several hours to-day, and discussed the general question of mutual concessions, but without going into any of the details of the bill. The Secnators would not assent to the compromise proposed by the members of the House, nor would the Iatter for a moment con- sent to yicld to the claims of the Senate. In the Senate this afternaon, Mr. Morrill, of Maine, from his Committee, reported that the Committee had been unable to agree. Mr. Ed- munds made the point of order that the House, which asked a conference, shonld be the first to which the report is made, which the Chair (Mr. Darwes) sustained, and the report was: withe drawn. The rcport will be presented in the House on Monday, and it is probable that a new conference will be ordered, but it '3 Impossible to foresee what the final result will be. Mr. Randall declares that he WILL NOT YIELD on the Legislative bill, and he is not di d to change his mind because of the approach of the new fiscal year. It is probable that the House Committee will vield on the Post-Office Appro- priation bill, but they will yield by allowing the matter to he settled 'in the open House. It is understood that the Conference Comuittee will report to both branches” the points upon which they are unable to agree, and that the matter will be scttled by the Honre yiclding In the most Important particular, and thus allowing the mail service to go on without interruption. DERBY’S DOINGS. THE ENGLISI PREMIER PLATS SHARP ON PARLIA- MENT. Special Dispatch to The Tritune. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—It appears that Lord Derby has been guilty of a gross parlin- mentary deception with reference to the publi- cation of the correspondence with our Govern- ment respecting extradition. A copy of the correspondence which Lord Derby was pleased to publish has been received bere. Comparison with a similar publication sent into Congress by the President June 10 reveals some singular nnd awkward omissions in the paperslaid before Parliament. Lord Derby cntirely suppressea Becretary Fish’s dispatchlof May 22, which, it appears. from a published telegram of Mr. Hoffman to Mr. Fish, Lord Derby received on the 6th of June. He suppresses also a telesram from Sir Edward Thornton of the 27th of May, to whose contents he alludes, and s dispatch from the same of the lst of“&i(ny, in which he also bases part of his argument. Finally, in a published dispatch to Sir Edward Thornton, dato May 20, he replies to a remark of Mr. Fish concerning the peculiar wording of the English Extradition act, which s contained in Mr. Fish’s dispatch of May 22, delivered to Lord Derby only on June 6. “The question arises, {s this dispatch of Lord Derby antedated, and was it really written after he read Mr. Fish’s_dispatch on the 6th of June? Such a suspiciag, ., WOULD BE UNWARRANTABLE were it not. for the suppression of the dispatches in this Parliamentary return. If Lord Derby’s dispatch, dated May 20, was really sent on | day it ought to have been in Sir Edward Thorn- ton’s hand by the 10th of June at the farthest. It would be interesting to know whether he re- ceived it at that time, or, if later, on what pre- cise day. As notice of two Inquiries on the extra~ dition _question was given in Parliament on Thursday, it is hoped that Lord Derby will be asked the question why be suppressed so many important dispatches in bis return, which was supposed to contain the whole correspondence, and how he came to answer Mr” Fish before he could know what the latter had said. NOTES AND NEWS. THE INVESTIGATIONS. Special Dispatch to The Tritune. WASHINGTON, D. C., Juns 24.—Mulligan and Tisher are expected to arrive here from Boston early next week. The witnesses in the Kansas Pacific case are also to appear here on Monday, when the Blalne investigation will be resumed. It is expected that the Investization will pro- cced in the absence of Blaine. Mr. Frye, Blaine’s personal friend, reports the Iatter as very sick, suffering from an attack similar to the first, though less severe.
