PROMOTION.—On Saturday last Mr. Emil Arctander, of the money order branch of the Post Office department, was promoted from ® second to @ fourth class clerkship. This is a deserved promotion.

Sherman going to St. Louis and Secretary Cameron to Washington. O10 AND INDIANA.—Hon. Eugene Hale, of Maine, who has been doing active service On the stump in Indiana and Ohio, ina letter to &@ friend in Washington expresses the opinion that the republicans wilh carry both these states at to-morrow’s election. He 1y8 he does not base this on the attendance atthe | geome meetings of either party, be- cause point of numbers the democrats bad the largest gatherings; but that it is based on an estimate made by the repabli- can caropaign committee in those states and upon conversations had by himself with some of the best political prognosticators of the changeable political status of Ohio and Indiana. of bis ticket In Indiana. All advices received by the republican campaign committee here to day are corre- spondingly cheerful. THE PRESIDENTS CENTENNIAL VISI- TORS.—It was generally noticed during the summer months that the number of Centen- bial visitors in our city was smallest on Mondays, but to-day the visitors at the White House were faily as numerous as on Saturday. They began flocking there early this morning, all eager to see and shake bands with the President, which privilege was accorded them all. They are ushered into the @ote-room uotil fifty ora hundred are congregated there, when they are ail per mitted to go in a body to see the President, who stands in the center of the room. near hig table. to receive them. He has always received the unceasing stream of visitora to the White House without complaint, yet with @ rather indifferent air,but since his return to the city he seems to wear a more good humored air and the suake of bis hand is More cordial. Some visitors wait outside until the [crowding is over, thinking that they will get @ betier chauce to “interview” the President, but as soon as the last one is out the door is shut, and the few stragglers Who waited have tu wait longer for the next squad. The President receives bis business and official callers between ‘Centennial visitors,” which latter occur every ten or fifteen minutes.

ASequel to the Post Office Investiga- tion. WHY TWO PROMINENT CLERKS HAVE BEEN “BOUNCED.” Two department clerks loosened their hold on the offictal teat on Saturday. One was ‘Wm. M. Ireland, chief clerk of the Thira Assistant Postmaster General's office, and the other was Chase Andrews, chief of the finance division of the same office. Both have beer loug employed in their respective _— With salaries attached sufficient to ‘eep the wolf from the door. Both were an poyingly surprised when !t was commani cated to them that they might leave the vine yard wherein they had labored and take their chances In the general scramble out side for sustenance. it is not the fault of the Post Ofice depart- Ment that the idiosyucracies which led to the virtual dismissal of these public ser- vants js detalied in THE Srar. From the acting head of the department down to the bewers of wood and crawers of water, ali were as dumb a8 oysters as to the canse of the inviiation to resign, Mr. Marshall would say nothing on the subject. Gen. Barbour, the Third Assistant Postmaster General ‘really did:.’t know,” and while the late associates of the dismissed ones had heard they were « bounced,” there was no getting *nything from them either, as to the trae ipwardness of the matter. No matter how the representative of Tax Srar finally suc- ceeded in getting down to the bottom facts, we are able to give them here. THE BOTTOM FACrs. Early in the session of the last Congress, Speaker Kerr, in announcing his commit: tees, selected Wm. R Stone, of Missouri, as chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in tbe Post Office Department. Mr. Stone bad & close districtat home, and made up bis mind to make as much capital out of his Jusiguificant chairmanship as he could. He had not more than ove meeting of his com- mittee before be rose in bis place In the House and introduced a resolution a yard long, with many ‘“whereases,” charging fraud and general mismanagement in the administration of our postal affairs, con. cludirg with @ resolution aathoriziag the committee of which he was chairman to make @n investigation, employ @ clerk, send for persons and pat ‘and in brief to “smeli” round generally. The resolution was adopted and the committee went to work. There appeared on the sceue ONE HOLBROOK. He had formerly been a ik In the office, @nd Was di for cause. He was read- ly heard by the comm! tes, and to them he onhnrdened himsel( as to alleged frau is on ‘he Post Office department. His unsupported S alements were magnified by the sensa- Uonal correspondents, and to have credited the statements made by them would have led to the conclusion that the postal service Was going to the “demnition bow-wows.” Not ovuly was Holbrook the hero of a singie sersion of the committee, but he was called and reerjled to the stand during the entire progress of the investigation. In a later Stage of the proceedings he produced copies Of several official papers. Tats led to the conclus‘on that somebody in the Postmaster General's office having acc sss to tne Official records and papers of tae department was coaching him. Holbrook frequently visited the department during the pendency of the investigation, and on these occas‘oos gen- erally called upon Chase Andrews. It Was not surmised, however. nor was ita fact that during these calis Holbrook com- municated what the committee desired to have from tbe records. It was developed that Andrews, Holbrook and Ireland met several nights at a private residence in this city, and that the visists of Holbrook to An drews during office hours was to arrange with him when these meetings should take place. It is Rnown by the officers of the De- partment that several! meetings of THE TRIO Were held, and supp!ementary thereto ap- peared Holbrook before the committee with tranecripts of official records and other val- uable data, Just before the close of the session of Con- gress Postmaster General Jewell was in- formed of the connection of Andrews and Ireland with Holbrook. It s ems that the latter had so won tie confidence of the com: mittee that at his suggestion a clanse was inserted in the post office appropriation blll abolishing the office of superiutendent of the Fost office builiing ana vesting its duties with Andrews, aud providirg for him an additional salary cf #209 per annum Tae bill, in this ry passed the House, bat when it reached the Senate Gov. Jewel! threatened the Senate committee that if it went into effect be would appoint tha pres- ent Superintendent of the bufiding to be the bead of the finance office. aad (ius Andrews would lose his piace. Tne Senate, on rec- ommendation of its posts! committee, over ruled the action of the House, aud the latter body acqniesced. Meanwoile Postmaster General Jewell was removed, sud for the nonca the matter — hushed. About three weeks ago Gen. 'yner REOPENED THE INVESTIGATION of Andrews and Ireland, and from an abun- dance of testimony became satisfied that the suspicions against both were wel! found- ed. He accordingly on Thursday last invited them to resign, which thoy did on Saturday, when both, metaphorically king, were divested of their habiliments of office. When Ireland received his invitation to a stakes” he affected surprise. He watt upon Gen. Tyner and di led to know wny he had been cut off from tne army ef officebolders. Gen. Tyner was disposed to any, ae concerning the matter. Irelana en 3 “Gen. Tyner, no matter what opinion I may have entertained concerning Gen. Cres- ¥ ell and Gov. Jewell, I have always been a friend to you.” Gen. Tyner shades of private life. Ireland therefore de- parted left the building @ private citizen. Both Ireland and Andrews are also charged with having furnished the correspondents of sensational ne pers with information culled from the official records. THE SouTH CAROLINA TROURLE—(ov. Chamberlain Commands the Rijle Clubs to Dis- band.— On Saturday last Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, issued a proclamation, 15 which he says it has become impossible, in bis judgment, to enforce by administrative or judicial proceedings the laws of the state within certain counties, and it having been made known to bim that illegal organiza- tlops, known as rifle clubs, exist in the state, and as they are forbidden by the state laws, be forbids their existence, and orders that ate democratic executive committee has jssued an address denouncing Governor Chamberlain’s recent proclamation as ua- warranted by law and facta, and issusa to furnish @ pretext for asking for t1 Inre- sponse to & letter from General Hampton, Chief Justice Moses says he knows nothing to lead bim to conclude that Soutu Carolina 18 an armed camp, or that any arm is needed more potent than the law.

A large body of men of respectabie, sol- dierly appearance, marched through the streets on yesterday morning and took the train for Indianapolis, where they are to participate In the reunfon of “democratic” soldiers today.

The menu included some fifty-eight varieties of dsh from all parts of the globe, Mr. Eugene G.

A HORRIBLE DEATH—Danger of the Glan ders.— About @ month ago Alexander Scott, a farmer living pear Cherry Hill, indulged in an exchange of horses. The horse he secured Was @ fine- looking animal, but at the time was weene from some disease of the head Mr. Scott believed 1t to be “distemper,” and did aot object to running the risk. About two weeks ago Mr. Scott's hand began to in- flame from @ slight wound on the back of it, and became in a few om be & very ugly ulcer, canting him a great deal of pain.

He found the patient suffering from fever. but detected nothing different from an ordinary case of intermittent fever, and prescribed the usual remedies. Dr. Car: ter having occasion to leave home. and the fever not abating, Dr. Ellie, of Elston, was asked to attend Mr. Scott. At Dr. E's firat Visit, lest Saturday, he prescribed for inter- mitient fever, having first inquired about tbe tore band and being told that it had oearly healed. The next day, however, he found Mr. Scott suffering with a raging fever and covered with “botton farcy.” Tne dis- ease Was unmistakably glanders,” and had beep communicated from the glandered horse through the break in the skia of tne hand.
