Matt Rowseks.—Info: mation has been re- € 1ved atthe P. O. department that within the last two werks the stages Ce als in Ariz na have been stopped by highwaymen @ d the mails robbed six times. A DELEGATION OF PROMINENT IOWANS. amcng whom were Judge Springer, Judge Lowe and Mr. O’Connor, called _on the Presi- «ent today in company with Secretary Me- Crary. The delegation requested that if any change should be made in the governorship of New Mexico the candidacy of General True, ef Towa, for the position be favorably con- sidered. The visit of the delegation revives the report which has been started a number of times, that the removal of Governor Axteil, of New Mexico, has been about decided upou. YELLOW FEVER Panic.—The register and receiver at Jackson, Mi: have sent the fol lowing dispatch to the Commissioner of the General Land Office: “ There is great excite- mevtin Jackson. The people are fleeing in all directions. The board of health advise all toleave. There are one hundred and sixty cases ip Vieksburg and twenty in Canton. ‘The feveris liable to appear at any moment.

Walsh is almost certain of defeas, and, will be succeeded by My. Pret- tyman or Mr. P+ ter, of Montyomery.

On this accouat they will have to be returned and new claims fh. d in accord. nee with those regulations. Th re will be a -ood deal o* trouble in audit- in. these claims, both from the fact that most of he people holding them are not sufticienily au i ted with the departmental rules gov- rininy such cases, and from the wording of ; te act authorizing their payment, which is not suff cientiv explicit as to the exact charac. ter ol the claims to be allowed. Under the litter] ead a number of questions are likely to arise which wil have to be referred to the First Coptioller for his decision, QUARANTINE RZGULATIONS STOPPING THE Mal1s.—Dispatehes have been received at the P. Q. department from the postmasters at Memphis and New Orleans complaining that the mails cannot leave the city, and that busi- ness interests suffer by reason of the quarau- tire estabished by other cities, and asking the department to do something in the matter. ‘The department has replied that it cannot interfere with the quarantine regulations of cities, and that the best practicable arrange. ments must be made with the postmasters of quarantined cities. Tue StrveR DOLLaKs.—During the past month the Treasury department has paid out 1,0(0,40 standard silver dollars, and has or- ders for about a million more. ‘This amouat bas beev put in circulation through the ageacy of the national banks and public depositaries, to whom it is sent free of Searepos ation. A much larger amount would have been disposed of if the number of such institutions—ove hundred and twenty—had been larger, or if the department could, under the law, furnish the coin free of transportation directly to ia- dividuals. Another drawback has been that the banks cannot obtain from the resstry #D amount larger than their secur ties. bavk baving a security with the department of 31:0,000 earnot, of course, order from the Treasury an amount bes that. A number of them having ordered silver to the limit of their security, have requested the department tolet them have it in exchange for #land #2 greenbacks. This has been invariably refused, as the Treasury does not desire to decrease the number of small bills in circulation. Treas- urer Gilfillan does not regard the placing of 1,000,000 silver dollars among the people in a Single month, with orders ou hand for a mil- lien more, as indicative that it is impossible to get that coin in circulation. Besides, the time of the year when there is the greatest demand for small coin—the season for moving crops— has not arrived. INTERESTING FacTS FROM THE PUBLIC Lanp RECORDS.—At the request of the Presi- dent the Land office has Le pes a statement of the acres of land entered under the bome- stead and timber culture acts ia the several states and ter: itories from July 1, 1463, to June 0, 1878. inclusive. The aggregate for the ten years included between these dates is 3)41S,- (wulS acres. Of this number Alabama is edited with 1,565,644.64 acres; Arkansas wit 14,208.43; Arizona with — 25,008. California” with" 2.069.248 20; th #7 65°. 8; Dkota with — 3,117,256.84; Flor- ida with 1,(65,004.61; Indiana with 12,- % 3 Illinois with 2,305.82; Towa with 1,0 613; Idaho with 201,191.53; Kansas wit! 8,993,20.45; Louisiana with $12,292.85; Mi: sourl with 1,496 46 ichigan with 1,169,- 253.06; Minnesota with 4.367,993 36 NS Nebraska wi Oregon with E Wisconsin w “1; Washington terri- tory with id Wyoming with 2s,- 366 8, This statement deals with homesteads actually initiated. The number which have been abandoned and which will ultimately be abandoned and canceled will constitute a large deduction from these figures, as the per- centage of such cancellations is very great. How great it is impossible to determine, no record having been kept of the same. So far in ISS 4,615,979 2) acres have been entered under the homestead and 1,974,083.74 acres under the timber culture act. Ia all of 1377 only 2,175 (:8 17 aeres were entered under the homestead ana 520,672.50 acres under the tim- ber culture act. THE Hawatan IsLanps—Change in the Cabinet.—Mr. James Scott, U. 8. consul at Honolulu, reportsto the D-partment of State at on the 2! of July last the king sent for his inisters ard asked for their resigna'ions Which were immediately tendered and ac- cepted. A pew cabinet was appoluted by th King on the next day, consisting of John M. hapel n irs; S.G. Wilder, iaterio: - 5 E:lward Preston, at- eneral. The retiring ministry con- three of American birth and one Wallan. The present cabinet has one of American birth, one of British, and two Ha- Walians. The reasons for this peremptory change sre not given. Under date of July Iéth, 1878, the cousul informs the department that the business of the consulate at Honolulu is in a prosperous condition—the receipts con- stantly increasing, already exceed the cost of the consulate. A large surplus will be re- turned this year. The Mexican Question. The recent utterances of Senor Zamacona, the Mexican minister resident here, to the effect that he did not apprehend that the pres- ent invasion of Mexico by the U.S. forces uuder Col, Mackenzie would lead to a war With Mexico, are accepted by army officers to 1 ean that the Mexican forces do not propose to give Mackenzie a pitched battle, but siinp y to annoy him by guerilla warfare and busi whieking. It is known that it is the policy o Taz to avert such a war if he possibly vay is not believed that of his own will he would inte: pose apy obstacle to our troops wander ipgat pleasure tbr-ugh Mexico, Dut is econ- Sia e inake some sho-v of resistance to appt ase his hot-headed subjee’s. who regard the crossing of the border by American arin-d forces as an indignity to Mexican honor which should not be brooked.

HOW THE FIELD-DEAN CONTEST IN THE HOUSE WAS SETTLED. One of the characters who figured in Wash- ington during the last session of Congress was Ike Hill of Newark, Ohio. He floated here with the army of hungry democrats seeking an office when the House of Representatives changed hands. Not getting on the “regu- lar” pay-roll, Ike became a general utility mean and offered his services to he!p keep statesmen straight, and hunt up absentees when the full démoecratic vote was needed. He knew the haunt of every lively statesman and just where to find him night and diy. When the Field Dean contest was upin the House, Ike kept Mr. Springer from calling a yote on the ease for nineteen days, because is Ike says “I told Springer to hold off until 1 Was sure of my men. 1 knew one vote would finish the business, one way or the other” and ig proved, but how Ike cheated, the repub- rul.s can best be told in his own way “You ys Ike, ** there ain't any use of making y bones of the matter: there were a goo y democrats who didn't care to vote for n because they didn’t believe he waselect- ed no how. Well, after [had told Springer to go ahead, that we were all right, one of our men, ad ed Dutchman named Ficholtz, repre- senting a New York distriet. started to fo home. T went for him and eaught him on the sieps of the Capitol. Says 1, ‘Look here, Ficholtz, there is to be a vote on the Field- Dean case to-day ; we need ail our votes.’ He wouldn't come back ; he was as obstinate as a mue. Well, something had to be done; so I went to Van Voorhis, of Ohio,a good feliow, whom 1 knew weil, and I sald, * Look here, Van, Eichoitz is sick and wants a pair on the Dean vote.’ At first Van didn’t want to pair, but when I told him Eicholtz was very sick he reluctun'ly did so. 1 was afraid all day that the thing would be found out, and that they would raise the devil with me for getting 2 pair withcut authority; but Dean slipped in, and Eicholiz don’t Know to this day how he was sold out. EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.—Major G. W. In- gails, geueral missionary for Indians, acco u- panied by Tillman Knox, of Fort Smith, Ark , waited upon the President to-day,and in be- half of the Creek Indians and freedmen of the Indian Seek secured an order for the ecmmutation of the sentence of death of Caru- lina Grayson, of Indian terntory, to imprisou- ment for lije. Grayson was 10 have by hanged at Fort Smith, Ark.,on Friday uv: for killing Heury Ross, a Cherokee freedm: some months since. ‘The President had_ pi viously commuted the sentence of three other freedmeu concerned in the murder of Russ.

TWELVE MILLION IN GOLD.—There is in the sub-Treasury at San Francisco twelve million of dollars in gold. This amount is three times as bagi ee any thatever before accumulated in those vaults. Its accumuls- ton is due to two cxuses: one is the unu-ua ly large payments which have been made in gold for curreney obligations, and the otner the purchase o date amounts of silver certifi- cates for gold, which are shipped to the eist and sold to be used in the payment of customs duties, THE AMERICAN COLLEGE IN TURKEY.—The Department of State has received from Mr. Maynard, our minister at Constantinople, an account of the closing examination for the year of the students of Robert College, an American institution on the Bosphorus. Mr. Maynard presided, and there were present the British minister and Lady Layard, repre- sentatives of the American Patriarch, ani of the ministry of public instruction. Sir Haury Layard, in his address, said: “Thanks to tie justivution, the English language is under- stood in the remotest part of Turkey.
