CHARGES against U.S, Distriet Attorney Bliss, of New York, have been forwarded here from New York, alleging malfeasance In offi They are believed to have origin- ated from a source which did not caus? them to be entertained by the Attorney General a year ago. A REPORT received by the Commissioner of Pensions shows that 426 cases of alleged frauds In pension claims were investigated by the special service division during the quarter which ended September 30th last. This is more work than was done in thesame length of time when the special serviee «ivi- si: n had ten more agents than at present.

JupICrAL OFFICERS IN TEXAS AND ARKANSAS.—Mr. Paton, a special agent of the Department of Justice, has returned here frem a tri Texas and Arkansas. He was sent there to make an investigation of the affairs relating to the Department to which he is attached by Attorney General Pierrepont. He has submitted a very lengthy report, and in it sets forth that the only efficient means to re- form existing abuses is to remove nearly all the present incambents of office. The facts gathered by Mr. Patton will be commented upon by the Attorney General in his annual report to Congress. Until suca report ts made, he declines to give Mr. Patton’s report to the public. CONGRATULATING THE NeW Sxcre- TAKY.—Secretary Chandler arrived at his post, as head of the Department of the In- terior, atabout 10 o'clock this morning, and at once assumed his duties. He acconiplish- ed but little work, however, as his time was mainly taken up in receiving the numerous visitors who called to extend their congratu- lations. He seemed in the best of spirits, and extended a cordial greeting to all called.

The i ABOUT THE APPOINTMENT OF SECRETA- RY CHANDLER.—Considerable comment having been made on the fact that up to yes- terday morning at ten o'clock Secretary Chandler asserted in the most positive terms that he had not been tendered the office he now holds, an explanation derived from a reliable source may be interesting. The ex- Senator came to Washington on business connected with the Department of State, at the instance of several prominent gentlemea of Michigan. He had, he asseris, received no intimation from the President that he would be invited to @ seat in the Cabinet. At Pitts- burg, by the merest accident, he fell in with the Presidential party, and had several hours’ conversation with the Presideat, noth- ing being said, as he alleges, in regard to the vacant Leesa fps 9 Oa the day of the ar- rival of the President a Cabinet meeting was held, when the question of appointing a suc- cessor to Mr. Deiano was discassed. Mr. Chandler was soon after asked by a member of the Cabinet if he would accept the position if tendered, and, being in doubt, cousultel his friends, who urged b ceptance. On Monday evening last ie received a note from m simply asking it ne make it convenient to be at that point at ten o'clock yesterday morning. hour named he repaired to the White House, when the President, for the tirst time, for- mally tendered him the position. This mach in explanation of his deuial up to the hour named yesterlay of the statement that the President had offered him the vacant Secre- tary ship. CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH BY CoAL OIL.—A fire at Oil City, Pa., burned a smali tenement house in the horthera part of the city, oceupied by a family named Gir yesterday afternoon. The mother of the fan ily bad gone away, leaving the house in charge of three children, ®ho endeavored to Kindle a fire with kerosene during her ab- sence, in the stove. The can containing the kerosene exploded, enveloping the house in flames, and so badly burning a little boy, | who was lighting the fire, that there is no hope of bis recovery. One of the little girts, about 13 years of age, escaped Injury, but the other child, a little girl about four years old, ran toaciosetand shut the door. She was votdiseovered until the house was consumed, when her charred remaius were found. THE FAVORITES BEATEN IN EVERY RACE -AT PimLico Yesrexpay.—The fall meeting ofthe Maryland Jockey club opened aus- piciously at Pimlico, near Baltimore, yes- terday, with four good races, although there was no very fast time made, comparatively the best being in the three-quarters of @ mile by Chamberlin’s Lizzie R. in t:21. Tom Ochiliree carried off the valuable Dixie stakes in 3.424, which is ten seconds greater ‘han the best two mile time. Lort Cyril won the Central stakes in 119 Catheart’s Kadi the two-mile h S45. The favoriies were t race, whiecb js rather uonusual with four events on the card Two MEN HUNG BY A Mos —Ahout a week ago the sheriff of Portage coanty, IIL, bamed Baker, was killed by two brothers, named Amos and Isaac Courtwright, whom he attempeted to eject from a building. Yesterday morning “about three o'clock & party of masked men, numbering forty went to the jail at Stevens’ Point, seized the watchman and pot him in trons, beat down the doors, took out the Courtwrights and hung th to a tree. The whole aTair was quickly and systematically executed. There is no evidence of identity of the perpetrat- ors, but it is understood that they came from the town of Blover. A CLERGY MAN'S SPECULATION.—The Rev. Mr. Coster, colored, of Brooklyn, arranged in the last week of August for holding a colored camp mecting at Rockaway, and he leased to several persons the right to erect refresh. ment stands on the premises. The week was very stormy, and the camp Mmeetiog was postponed, and at length abandoned. One of the persons who eel pos for the use of the refreshmen* stands had the preacher arrested om charge of obtaining money under false pretences. After nearly two months of deiay ihe clergy! has been discharged from cas- ¥. Sun, ith atham, Spotsy!vania county, on Monday, brought to an abrupt +rmination by a difficulty between Col. W. i. Simms, coriservative, who was speaking at the time, and an unknown outside pariy, which came pear resulting fn ageneral fight. The lie was passed, pistols were drawn, and ‘he friends of the parties ranged themselves im mediately on oppositesides. The prompt interference of the officers of the law alone prevented probably a deadly conflict. THE PRINCESS OF LES went down to the dock to see Albert Edward off for Lndia. Those who witnessed the parting say it was most affecting. She buried her head in his bosom and wept. He played with the French, timmings of her hat and tried to comfort her. The last worlds she uttered were a touching heart-wruog exclamation, “On, Albert.” His final remark moved along the same fine chord of feeling, ‘Farewell, dar- and you are sure you put my striped stockings in the red yalise?”-Brookton pie seg MEASURES TO SUPPRESS LAWLESSNESS IN LouIstaNa.—Lieut. Gev. Autoine, of Louisiana, was waited on yesterday by a committee of prominent citizens of East Fe liciana parish in reference to the recent troubles in thatdistrict, and to concert meas- ‘ures to suppress lawlessness.

The present popula- on of the country is estimated at over 45,000,000, with 54,000,000 in 180.
