Truth crushed to earth will rise again,” likewise will Gov. Sambard, whose term of office as postmaster at Aulanta expired at midnight last night. Some time ago, when bis immediate resig- ation had been demanded by Postmaster General Jewell, he wrote to the President asking if he could not remain in office until the close of the fiseal year, (yesterday.) The President asked the Postmaster General to so@ely with Bard's request that his official life rolonged a few weeks, and B. was telegraphed accordingly. When Goy. Jewell reecived the letter containing the request Alluded to he was in some doubt as to whether it wes intended as a letter of resignation or vot. He naturally inferred that it was, and consequently made full arrangements for Mr. Conley to take charge to-day, expecting, of course, that Mr. Bard would gracefally retire &t this time. Now, however, Bard comes to the fore again, and asserts that his letter was not intended as a letter of rest; nation, and begs to be allowed to retain his bold on the post office teat. Gov. Jewell re- ferred the subject to the Attorney General, ‘who decided that while Bard's plea might be @ valid one in @ technical sense, yet (ey He letter, coming from any gentie- man, could not be regarded otherwise than as a resignation. The Postmaster General on Tuesday forwarded to the President for siguature papers suspending Burd from of- fiee as postmaster at Ajlanta vo and alter Changes at the Treasury. SADNESS OF DECAPITATED CLERKS. If @ novice about to enter the public ser- vice was to look in at the Treasury depart- ment to-day and see the sorrow and despair of the poor fellows who have had to step down and out in consequence of the reorgan- ization of the department, he would, if any manhood was left in him, shake the dust of Washington from off bis feet and “ go west.” or any place else where he could get a fair day's wa pra fair day's work. To-day’s eemoralization is even worse than yester- v's. Then it was anxiety. Now itis de- r.

Included to are some forty females, es and incidents in the corridors of sury to-day are sad in some in- stances and ‘amusing in others. The tears of the “weaker vessels” are lost in the Indi crous attempts of money-brokers to collect advances they have ma’le to those numbered among the unfortunates. 0: these b rs came rushing in after discovering that one of his customers had been droppe.

Other sanguine ones, instead of brooding over their troubles present or prospeetive, have gone to work to get back. The telegraph .brings every hour numerous dispatehes from mem- bers of Congress interceding for favorites.

In writing ne used & letter sheet with the printed heading, “Office Special Agent of the Post Office De- partment, New Orleans, Louisiana,” and in the ieft-hand corner was printed “Edgar Selye. Special Agent of the Post Office = partment.” The railroad company forwarded this letter to the Postmaster General, who notified them that Mr. Selye no longer had any connection with his department; and it is presumed that in consequence he got no pass. THE GRANGERS—Important Meeting of the Executive Committee —The executive commit- tee of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry met this morning at the head- quarters of the National Grange, No. 612 Louisiana avenue, to consider and decide uj several important points affecting the Onder, and will robably be in session eae or ten days.

CHANGES IN HIS OFFICE. U. 8. Treasurer New took official charge of his new office to-day. His first official act was the calling of Capt. Gilfillan to the cash- ler’s desk; next, Col. Frank Jones, assistant cashier, Was relieved, and his place was filled by the appointment of Southwich Guthrie, formerly chief of the division of ac- counts. After these appointments he led off the list of dismissals by the removal of S. 8. Gregory, a fourth-class clerk. Between now and to-morrow night there will be upwards of twenty-five additional changes in the Treasurer's office—important ones, too. AN APPLICANT FOR PROMOTION A} SWERED. Mr. New is quite decided in his manner. He has the courage to say “yes” and “no,” and does both when required. A certain clerk in the office to-day, who was backed with what he deemed influential letters to the new Treasurer, came into his ofice and solicited a promotion. Mr. New looked at him for & moment sharply, and then tn somewhat stern tones said know what your standing is you Will be promoted ify: if you don’t I don’t want ‘on at any price.” | The aspiring young man retired, convinced that he was dealing with a man of business.

WHAT THE IRISH PAPERS SAY. The Irish press speaks in coagratuiating terms of the American riflemen in Toesday's contest. The Freeman's Journal compli- ments the Americans on their superior dis- ne, and says that the event and its in- ents will have drawn vtoser the enmities of the two nations engaged, and while heart- ily congratulating our gallant conquerors on theirmagniticent triumph, we look for re- yenge to the future. The Dublin Express trusts that the contest will become annual, and if it should continue to be carried on J with the same good feeling, not only on the pert of the competators, but on that of the spectators and the two nations generally, Which has marked the first two meetings, it will do much to cement the friendship of Ireland and Ameriea. Saunder’s News Letter speaks in a similar sti , should it be forgotten as was ted from a nation of forty millions, Who are familar with the riffle from the cradle, ours was selected from a provir five millions, wher ept in privileged cases, the use of that ‘weapon is forbidden. The Dublin Mail remarks: “The Americans visit to Europe will assume proportions of an exchange of national hospitalities, and we in Ireland hope the result will be a better appreciations of Irish character and aspira- tions in the United States than has hitherto been the ease SHOCKING OUTRAGE RY A N®GRO.—In the country, about nine mites from St. Louts, on Monea¥ evening, vhile Miss Eliza Cham. berlain, 19 years old, was going from her iather’s house cn horseback to a neighbor's, she pulled from her horse by a burly negro. All her clothing was stripped from her, and she was most fiendishly outraged and otherwise cruelly treated. She fainted and lay in the road more thau an hour, when she revived and dragged herself toa neigh- bor's house about a mile distant, where she went into spasms and her life was for a time despaired of. The police and citizens were in active search of the negro yesterday, and one answering to the description given by Miss Chamberlain was arrested in St. Louis last night. The people in the neighborhood of the eutrage are intensely excited, and swear they will hang the monster 1f caugiit. THE lowA REPUBLICAN STATE CONV: TION assembled at Des Moines yestentay.
