Tus Back Pay Graw.—The Sergeant-at- Arms of the House declines to furnish a list of the names of members who have drawn their back pay. It is ascertained, however, that the list of those who have the money still to their credit on the books is very small. Only one Pennsylvania member has returned his amount into the Treasury, viz., Washington Townsend. Every mesber of the next House, with one exception (Foster, of Michigan,) has drawn his pay up to the 3d of this month, at the new rate, which is regarded here as imlicating that the law giving the increase of salary will not be aled next winter. THE INVPSTIGATION as to the cause of the tire in the Navy department was began th uing by the examination of the two meu, engaged in cleaning the furniture In room 16 the third floor, whence it is supposed the tire originated. They denied throwing any of the cloths, used by them in polishing the wasi- stand under it, but admit that they threw their rons upon closing work in a corner near the stand. ‘The evidence was unimportant. It is generally believed by the navy officials and Acting Chief Fngineer Drew, of the Fire de partment, that the supposed cause of the fire as reported in yesterday Sra is correct. ‘The in- vestigation will be sumed and probably closed to-morrow. Tue Surrty or Postat Carps.—The postal rd manufacturing company at Springfield, Mass., are steadily increasing their facilities, and are turning out from 600,000 to 800,000 cards daily. They promise to turn out 1,000,000 per hort time. The paper manufac- now supplying an abundance of ply enough to manufacture a mit- lion and a quarter of cards per day. It will be emembered that the Postmaster General origi- naily required the first year. Up to date the requi- sitions for cards amount to about 50,000,000, and mated that 100,000,000 cards would be this covers only the first quarter of the year. So great has been the demand for the cards that none of the small country towns have yet been supplied with them. Dr. Many WALKER called as usual at the Treasury department this morning but was stopped by the doorkeepers, who informed her that they had instructions to deny her admit- tance to the building. By one of those playful smiles, so potent in softening irate man, she tinally induced one of the custodians of the en- trance to make known to General Spinner that she “stood without the gate.” He at once ured her an open sesame, and the Doctor repaired to his official boudoir and poured forth in his ear all her Seinen a and wrongs. The big heart of the General waxed warm, and during the day he mailed a letter to Dr. Nichols, in charge of the Insane Asylum, recommending her for an appointment in that institation as an assistant physician, The General made this recommendation in good faith, and says he thinks she would render invaluable service in wtacked—Rear Admiral James Alden from duty on the 10th instant and placed on waiting orders; Captain Andrew Lyson trom command of the Brooklyn and placed on, waiting orders, Licutenant Com mander Thomas L.

PostaGr or THe ArMy.—The War depart- ment has issted the following circular: Officers will continue to be reimbursed for cost of post- age and telegrams on the public service by the pay department. ‘The quartermaster’s depart- ment is authorized to pay for postage and tele- grams when the account is made out tor pay- ment of the same direct to the postmaster and to the telegri company. As set forth in War department circular of June 19, 1873, the new official stamps for the use of this department are designed only for payment of postage upon communications from the bureaus in Washington city to parties elsewhere. For payment of postage upon all other ofticial communications sent by officers of the army, (including those addressed to thejexecutive de- partments and bureazs in this city, formerly Uansmitted free,) the ordinary postage stamps will be purchased, accounted for, and the oii- cer reimbursed, as heretofore. But under ex- traordinary circumstances, snch as where troops are in the ticid and it is impracticable for offi- cers to procure stamps for this i. com- manding officers of divisions and departments are authorized to direct quartermasters to pur- chase and have on hand ordinary postage stamps to place upon letters on official business en route to bureaus of the War department. ‘This becomes especially necessary when mili- tary mails are sent through the qnartermaster's department to the post offices. These postage stamps will be accounted for under such regu- lations as the Quartermaster General shall es- tabish. Tue Patrons or HcssanDRyY—Removal of Headquarters to Washington.—Owing to the rap- idly increasing business of the office of the secretary of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, the headquarters of the National Grange will be removed in afew days from 48 Fed (Rapes of the secretary, Mr. ley, tO @ Co} Try dwelling on Louisiana avenue, near the Seaton house, the executive of which Mr. Wm.

About fifty pac , containing dis- pensations, manuals, Sc., are forwarded by Adams’ express daily, and this does not include hundreds of communications sent out in the mails, Since the ist instant about 350 subor- dinate nges have been organized, making the total number of granges in operation up to date over 4,700, with an mama bership of about 350,000. The seems to be grow- ing most rapidly in the states of Iowa—which Row has 1.100 granges, against 1,690 two weeks since—Missouri, Indiana, illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. In response to re- quests from different states, several additional fenctel deputios have recently been sont out y the National Grange to orzanize subordinate granges. ‘There are at present state granges in usas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indi- a, lows. Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis- sissippi, Missouri,” Nebraska, North Carotina, i Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. Gen. Howard's Case. WHY HE DORS NOT ASK POR INVESTIGATION BY A MILITARY COURT. On Tuesday afternoon last General Howard visited the office of the inspector general of the army, who has his headquarters in the War de- partmert, and requested from an officer at- tached to that branch of the service information as to what charges he could be tried upon should the department see fit to order a court martial in his case. He was informed that he could be tried for neglect of duty, in allowing his subor- dinates to misapply money belonging to the Freedmen’s bureau, er under the 39th article of war for embezzlement. Ina conversatian had with the officer upon the subject of his (How- ards) troubles, It was suggested to him that he had the privilege to demand a court of inquirs: and imasmach as the charges had become a matter of public notoriety, it might be to his advantage to request an investigation by a military court. General Howard replied that with the feelinggtoward him entertained by many officers in the United States army, he did not think he could get justice, and hence had thus tar declined to ask for a trial by such a wibunal. Cart. 8. G. Wurrrte, Ist cavalry, has been ordered to conduct recruits to regiments serv- ing on the Pacific coast. Se eee Tue TaRoven RarLway Connection.—We learn, though the terms of agreement are not yet known, that the difficulty which has exist- ed between the Pennsylvania railroad compan: —now controlling the Northern Central ani the Baltimore and Potomac roads—and the Union railroad company of thts city has been practically settled. This diffienlty has up to this time prevented the use of the Union rail- way tunnel, and the Pennsylvania company has been running its throngh trains between New York and Washington by way of Columbia and York, thus lengthening the route about 50 miles, On vege 3 next, or as soon thereafter as the Union rail way company completes its connection with the Baltimore & Philadelphia road at Canton, this route will be abandoned, and the direct connection with the cast will be made by the completed tunnel and over the Baltimore & Philadelphia i, as heretofore. Exactly what will be the result of this ar- rangement upon the passenger trafic over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cannot be known until the policy of the Pennsylvania railroad company is developed. ‘The latter road con- trols entirely the epot at New York and the road thence to Philadelphia, and has its inde- pendent connection with Potomac road. Of course, both roads will con- tend for the nger traflic, but whether or not the contest will be kept within certain limits is yet to be seen. The Pennsylvania road has it in“its power to refuse to sell tickets at New York to passengers yia the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, or to receive tts Philadelphia and New York. Washington by the ATTEMPTED Assas A correspondent of th Commercial writing from Mil says: “James Messick, some ty married a Miss Dickinson, but it they did not live ha ship of six months t Wilmington (Del Separated. Ke it is alleged that Messick manifested jeal his wife receiving attentions, ayd was hea threaten that he would shoot fhe ti found company. On Saturday night, a Mrs. M was returring home from a sin ing school with John Loftand and two of his sis ters, Messick waylaid them, and attempted to kill Lotiand. Drawing a pistol, he fired twicw at Lofland, the first ball entering his thigh ‘The second missed him. Messick was ar! on Sunday night and lodged in Dover jail.” Tur Escare oF THE STEAMER ViRGINIvS.— Cuban sympathizers in this country ought to be satisfied with the aid which has been extended tothe fillibustering steamer Virginins by the nited States representative and naval forcas ‘at Aspinwall. When that vessel arrived there on her way to land a cargo of arms and ammu- nition on the coast of Cuba, she would have been blockaded by a Spanish man-of-war, or sunk if she had went to sea, had it not been for the intervention of the American frigate Kan- sas, which convoyed her safely beyond the reach of the Spanish guns. The Spaniards submitted to this under protest, and the matter is to be made the subject of an official communication to Washington. A Jotty HANGING.—A correspondent says the recent hanging of Jim Brown at Saffoik, Va., was an occasion of gayety, festivity, drink” ing and profanity. An itinerent root doctor drove a thriving trade on the outskirts of the crowd. A prize candy merchant was equally snccesstul, and the peanut and ginger cake women voted it the best paying day for the many year. The truth is the half was not told, and alf hands had a very Jolly time. THREATENED STRIKE IN PHILADELPRTA.— A special dispatch to the New York Times from Philadelphia says: There are indications of a great labor strike here. The journeymen stone- Cutters’ association have demanded fifty cents more pay a day, which the employers have re~ solyed not to pay. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 stone-cutters belonging to the asso- ciation, who will stand out until their demand is acceded to.

A Woman BEATEN TO DRATH.—Mrs, Octavia Beatty, colored, was so horribly beaten in her room, In Indianapolis, Tuesday night, that sh cannot recover. Geo. Kean, colored, has been arrested on suspicion of being the assassin.

ASPIRANTS for office in the western states are blistering their hands in attempts at mow- ing in order to gain the good-will of the far- mers. The trick has @ transparency about it which will materially lessen its eflvet. There may be ways of beguiling the farmers, but thoy are not quite so simple as these hungry oitice- seckers seem to think. A svGGEsTION is made that when Wise crosses the ocean in the Graphie balloon, he should drop bottles contatuing messages every hour into the ocean, #0 that some clue may be had to his whereabouts. Passengers by the steamers are requested to carry sheet-iron umbrellas, or keep in the cabiu while W. throwing bottles. _, AN EASTERN EDITOR who has tried to evolve itout of his own consciousness, tells what the Fourth of July is: +The day for our youth of coming beverages that fire the blood while they refresh the lips, and for the essential pistol practice, without which he would hardly be able to bring down his father at short range.” ‘Tue Worcester Press says the cool nights of the few days have been a boon to the bond- and the bond slave, and but for the gory ty of tracing the infuriated mosquito to his lair while the deadly dampened towel gleams in the moonlight, life might yet possess some charm for the good.

(Correspondence of The Star.} Virsna, June 20th, 1873. At last we have arrived in the imperial city to which every one now wanders to see the great show. In peint of visitors the United States seem to be well represented, as you meet Americans, and even Washingtonians, fre- quently upon the streets, as well as in the Weltausstellung’s building. The train which brought usfrom Passan to this place was mostly occupied by American and English passengers, and, with the exception of the conductors, everybody seemed to speak English only. Gen. Carl Schurz and family were amongst them. In arriving at night in Vienna, strangers who do not speak the German language are placed in an awkward and unpleasant position. There are no interpreters at the station. Obtaining a carriage is effected with much difficulty, as you have to procure a check or number first at the office in the station before you are allowed to engage one, and then you must take whatever the officer is willing to give you. There is also some trouble in obtaining your luggage, bat after you have succeeded in getting out of the station with your baggage aboard, and have driven about @ square, a fellow in uniform rushes upto the window and screams in your ear: “ Acht Xreutzer! Weg-geld!” You know that it is money that {ts wanted, and you will perhaps hand out to him some German coins to pick from; but he willhave Aastrian currency only, and you cannot pass. The driver will then get off his seat in search of change, which may take him a good while to accomplish; but after all being settled, and the ticket in your hand, you will drive another square, when again a uniformed individual stops you, and de- mands the ticket. Now ail these annoyances are quite unworthy a city of the importance of Vienna, and it is to be hoped that a change wil! be made, and the practical system which exists in Paris be adopted. There interpreters are stationed at every station, who give all infor- mation and assistance to strangers. As it is now, itis advisable for every stranger to pro- vide himself with Austrian money before getting to Vienna, and also, if possible, to enter the town in the daytime. Accommodations at hotels are always more or less uncertain, and one may have to call at four or five of them be- tore he is able to fiud quarters. None of these annoyances were experienced during the Paris exposition, even when the city was most crowd- ed. In this direction there is room for im- provement in the Kaiserstadt; even more than there isin Berlin, where also several ancient customs are practised which make the foreigner uncomfortable, Joser ain The Jevuersyille, Pa., Tragedy. STRANGE THEORY OF THE MURDER. Our special correspondence and dispatches from the scene of the mysterious murder in Chester County, Pennsylvania, contain all the information so fang leaned concerning the trage- dy. Udderzook, to whom circumstances point t strongly asthe criminal, has arrived at stchester in charge of the county officials, and the Coroner's jury have found a verdi charging him with the murder. In conversa tion with the correspondent of The American he enlarged upon his previous statement of his meeting with the stranger on the last day when the latter was seen alive. He says that their meeting at Jennersville was accidental, and the stranger asked him for the privilege of ridin, wi im, and that he landed him safe an sound near Cochransville, after which he knew nothing more of him until he(Udderzook) was an forthe murder. Udderzookoiters no explanation of the bloody marksin the wagon, and affects to deny that any such existed. With regard to the blankets, he professes to have lost them on the road. He hints at his brother-in- law, Rhodes, as being the most likely autaor ot the tragedy, and the latter has been arrested. There isa Lhcory joat that the murdered man was in reality the W. E. W Goss, whose name became famous in connection with tne recent insurance suitain the United States court in this city. According to this supposition Goss, whose death was counterfeited for the purpose of de- frauding the insurance companies, was be- coming troublesome, and lest he should reveal himself Underzook murdered him. The latter, it will be remembered, was the most important witness for the plaintiffs, and if Goss did not die m February, 1872, he has committed flat perjury, in which case the discovery of Guss would be the only evidence needed to send him to pe. This is only a theory, but it is - sibly correct, and on account of it the dark deed which has been committed acquires an addi- tional interest.— Balto. American. THE CONFESSIONAL IN THR Eptscorat Cuvren.—According toa letter from New York, some of the leaders of the evangelical party in the Episcopal church in that city are in favor of @ public meeting to respond to the movementin England against the introductionof the confes- sional into Protestant churches. Rev. Dr. Schenck, of St. Ann’s; Key. John Cotton Smith, of the Church of the Ascension, and Rev. Dr. Tyng, of St. Geor are especially anxious that the evangelical branch of the church should speak out its mind on the subject, but the trouble is that so many chnreh people are off at the hentia places at present that it would be extremely difficult to get any consid- erable number of them together nd 80 it is probable the demonstration will have to be de- ferred until later in the season. ‘The question at issue in Engiand came ap in the House of Lords a few evenings ago. when a petition from 483 clergymen of the establishet eburch wes presented, asking for the appoint- ment of confessors and the restoration of other practices whch the reformation abolished. The Archbishop of Salisbury argued that the con- fessional was 80 contrary to British feeling that the attempt to introdece it could only be con- sidered wild and visionary. The clergymen who bad signed the petition constitu only 24 per cent. of the clerical body of the church, and their actioncould not be considered as indica- tive of the feeling of the majority, and the mat- ter was dropped.

It was hoped that the committee would not be called upon to interfere, but, if necessary, would act promptly; that whereas the city is infested with robbers and gamblers, whom civil authorities have thus far failed to arrest, and which fact is publicly known to the dis- creditof the city, they had bound themselves for the agg mend of self-protection and now give publie warning that if some remedy is not speedily applied they would feel justified in using summary measures.

The case of A. K. Shepherd and Henr Cooke against ' United States Dist York yesterday. torney Harrin, n to that eitect half of Mr. D: r mi court-room WAS crowded with gentlemen of the journal: legel professions. At the conclusion of the argumer Blatchford observed he was entirely he could not grant this information. Mr. Bliss desired to hand up some poltts ne cessary. [Renewed cheers.) He hoped gentie- men would refrain from applauding in court The constitution of the United States declares that the trial of all crimes should be by jury. As he understood the application it was on a war- rant of & commissioner issued solely on this in- formation, sworn to in @ police court; this was the information of Mr. Williams, and if the offence was to be tried, it was to be tried in thi: police court under the information. In continuation, Judge Blatchford said he did not decide the case on any of the grounds al- Inded to in the cases cited by Mr. Bliss, He was simply referring to a clause in the constitu- tion tn regard to the right of the trial by jury. That clause was never sought to apply to any other crime than such crimes as bi ys been properly tried by juries. Libelsin com- mon law had always nm tried by juries. Therefore, so far as he had looked into this case, and be had carefully considered it, he had no doubt whatever upon point, and if be was to re, his oath of office, itwas simply im- ssible not to say that all crimes against the ‘nite? States should be tried before juries; he did not mean to say that the police court at Washington atk Sok geneeeey, have jurialic- tion over common ts and they all knew of special sessions, and he knew that judges of this district had felt what a relief it would be to courts of the United States if they should not be called upon to try every offence, however small; but the answer to that was the inestimable right of trial by jury. He understood this as an application, callin, on the court to remit this case to & court whic! would ty it without a jury in the firet instance, but it did not help the matter if the party had a Fight to appeal. If he was convicted he was en- titled to be first tried bya jury, and not to b? first convicted. Taki: the whole matter he said if this court bad a right to try this offence, it was one that should be tried by jury, and on that ground alone he put this decision. The ground upon which he made this decision was solely with reference to the fact that this was a charge of libel, and libel was a crime aiwa: tried by jury. The proposition seemed so pisle that no examination, no study could bring him to any Gther conclusion. The application mast be refused and the defendant released from the custody of the marshal. ve al The Killing of Clinton Littie, ABRAIONMENT OF BI6 BROTHERS LycUROTS AND OSCAR, CHARGED WITH THE MURDBU.
