THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE inspired by the outlook, will now distribate Thvi man’s financial speech droadcast. Here- tofore it has only been sent west and south. Hereafter it wi!l not be discriminated against with reference to sections. Akmy RATIONS FOR THE SUFFERERS.—Com- missary Genera! McFeely to-day ordered five thousard rations to be sent from Chicago to the sufferers at Canton, Miss. More will be sent if necessity should require. Gen. JAMES LONGSTREET, the ex confeder- ate brigadier general, has been commissioned arevenue agent. He is assigaed to duty in the district of Georgia and Florida, vice Agent Spencer, transferred to Louisville. STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS.—Up to noon to-day orders for one hundred thousand standard silver dollars had been received at the Treasury department. PzksONAL.—Collector J. D. Harvey, of Chi- cago, is in the city 0” official business. Corcoran has returned to the city. . P. Fishback, of Indianapojis, formerly editor ard proprietor of the indianapolis Sentinel, is in the city, visiting his son, Wm. O. Fish- beck, the correspondent of the St. Louis Re- publican, SEREWD PARTY OBSERVERS say that the strength of the greenback eiement as shown by the recent election in Maine, indicates that the next House will be organized on the green- back idea, and that either the west or south will get the Speakership, and that the eastern democracy must get to the rear. Hon. J. C. S, Buackntry, of Kentuek: will make one or two speeches in the Cumbe! land (Md.) district in behalf of the dem cratic nominee. THE GREENPACK FEVER IN NEW YORK.— Hon. Nick. Mueller, M. C., of New York, is in the city. He says that the country districts have cought the greenback infection, but that its vole will not have any perceptible effect in the city districts. ACTING POSTMASTERS IN FEVER-STRICKEN Citi£s.—Mr. J. B. Wa'ter has been authorized by the Post Oflice department to act as post- master at Holly Springs, Miss; likewise Mr. J.S. Knowlton at Memphis, Tenn., and Rev. W. C. McCracken is in charge of the post oflice at Grenada, Miss. HON. CHAKLFS M. SHELLEY, of the 4th Ala- bama district, now in this city, is very san- guine of success. There is no unknown quan- tity in his district in the shape of a greenback- labor party, and it will be a square issue be- tween democrats and republicans. Although there is a very large number of colored voters in his district, be is, nevertheless, confident of @ majority of not less than 5,000. TARING TIME BY THE FORELOCK.—The col- lector of internal revenue at Cairo, Ill, has applied for and obtained permission to moye his office to some other place in the district in case the yellow fever should spread there. THERE HAS JUST BEEN IssvED under the auspices of the Secretary of the Treasury a 240 page volume, in which is collected all the laws of the United Siat-s relating to 'oans and the currency, including the coinage acts The jaws on the subjects therein embraced quoted from the acc of April 2, 1792, estab lishing a mint and regulating the coins of th United States up to and including the acts o7 «ne late session of Congress. THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN CovmiTTEE Rooms do not present the lively appearance to day they had in by-gone day: after an election, particularly in Maine, wher the result, like the handle of a jug, has fo twenty years been all on one side. There wer no dispatches received by Secretary Gorham who returncd here last nicht, to indicate tha the result is over cheering for the republi eans, and though the morning dispatches to the associated press still left the matter of Hale’s election in doubt, there is no hope in- dulged by the republicans that he is elected. Supervising Architect Hill says that all the stone quarries in the state are in Hale’s dis- trict, and that some days ago he received ad- vices which pare him the gravest apprehen- sions that Hale would be defeated, inasmuch as the stonema:ons’ league had pronounced against him. From henceforward the vigi: lance of the campaign committee will be even greater thanin the past. The best speakers in the party will be sent into Wisconsin, Mich- igan, Illinois and Iowa, to endeavor by the force of reason to stem the greenback tide, which threatens to sweep the country. CarTURE OF ONE OF THE ALLEGED MUR- DERERS OF COLLECTOR CoOPER.—Collector Cooper this morning telegraphed to the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue as follows: “Addison Wilson, one of the murderers of John Cooper, has been arrested and is con- fined in the Grayson county (N.C.) jal.” The capturers of Addison receive a reward of $50). The U.S. government offered a reward of #200 each for the capture of yvung Cooper’s mur- derers, the state of Tennessee’a like reward, x nd Collector Cooper $100 for each of the mur- C28. A SPECIAL BOARD, of which Rear Admiral Wyman is president, is in session at the Navy department for the purpose of examining Lieut. Commander Chas. W. Tracy for promo- tion. Examinations of candidates for promo- tions wi"! be made by this board until the meeting of the regular board of examiners, which will occur as soon asthe order has been issued by the Secretary. AkMY ORDEKS.—Col. Thomas L. Crittenden, Iith infantry, Is detailed as superintendent of the general recruiting service in place of Col. John E. Smith, 14th infantry, who is, at his own request, here! relieved irom the detail made recently. Cul. Crittenden will relieve Por Reanley, Present superintendent, October THE U.8.

Sun that Mr. Wallace, % Secretary Sherman on the Maine Election. Secretary Sherman says, concerning the Maine elections, that it looks as if the green- backers would ab:orb the demozratic party, and that the election might be the premoni- tory symptom of the readjustment of parites upon new issues. The condition of financial affairs were now such that the country do7s not need any further financial legislation. He woud have accompilis! resumption some time agoif he had not been embarrassed by those oprosed to honest money. The simple issue of two hundred million more green- backs, as preposed by the greenbackers, would not help matiers, as the ereenbacks could not be expended - gratuitously, and could only be paid out for the current expenses of the gov ernment, wlich were Bow Any, coe for. He did not think the result in Maine woud injure the republican party in Ohio, for the success of which he is very hopeful. He was confident of the party securing 10 republtean members in the next House irom that state, notwithstanding the outrageous Fathers dering of the state by the last democratic legislature. He prey that the green- backers would hold the balance of power in all the states where Senators are to be elected, and would be able to elect a sufficient number of members in the next Congress to enable them to dictate the organization of the next House and secure a majo. ity of its offices. Peace with Chief Moses. OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM GEN. HOWARD. The following dispatch was received at the War department this morning: “WALLULA, W. T., Sept. 8, 1873. Adjutant General, Washington, D.C." After considerable delay in ‘collecting his peprles Moses came from Wenalichi to Pries:’s bids, Conference took place E poactes: and this morring. Indians promis d to loo up and deliver the murdereis of the Perkins family: also, the stock and other property that the Columbias have taken into their neighborhood. 's showed that he had worked hard and successtully to preserve the pore last year and this. The Indians asked lor & reservation comprising the country north ef Priest's Rapids and Iving with‘n the Big Berd of the Columbia. ‘Tae large number of the Columbia Indians who fish from the mouth of the Umatilla to the Spokane signify a de- sire for this reservation. I will forward their formal request with my recommendation. This proposition coming from so many Indians will, I think. lead to a solution of the troubles here Sees to the Indians and citizens, and will not be of material cost to the govern- ment. Moses and the Indians have pledged themselves to maintain the peace in any event except their being forced upon the Yakima or other reservation far from their homes. This they plead earnestly against. Moses says he was misunderstood. He did not unders.and that we required him to go to the Yakima re servation and did not mean soto promise. I believe he is right. [Signed,] . 0.0. Howarp.” The Samoan Treaty Ratified. OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM COMMANDER RODG- ERS. The U. 8.8. Adams, Commander Frederick Rodgers commanding, which left Panama May 10, 1878, arrived at Apia, Samoan Islaads, June 28th, having made the passage in 45 sai'- ing days and 4 under steam,with the following passengers on board:—M. K. Mamea, Samoan ambassador ; J. G. Colmesnil, secretary to am- bassador ; Chas. Mclihenny, clerk to ambassa- dor; Gustavus Edward, consular clerk; and Dr. A. Van Camp. The Adams touched at Hood’s Island, of the Marquesas group, near the center of the Pacific Ocean, and in direct line and about halt ae between Panama and Australia. On arrival at Samoa a delegation of Taiman and Faipule, of the Samoan goy- ernment, visited the ship officially and to con- gravulate M. K. Mamea, the Samoan ambas- -ador, upon his safe return. On July 21 Com- mancer Rodgers paid an official visit to Tai- mnan and Faipule, at_ the Government House, accompanied by Mr. Edward, a_ special agent of the State department, an by several oflicers Peloneine to the vessel. The treaty between the United Sates and Samoa _ which was ratified by the United States January 25th 1878, was ratified by the aiman and Faiyule of Samoa July 2d, 1878. Speeches oi congratulation were exchanget betwecn the members of the Samoan govern. ment and Commander Rodgers relative to the enactment of the treaty. A grand meeting was called to take place at Apia on July 17th, of representatives of a! the Islands, tor the purpose of proclaiming the treaty. On July 4th, Commander Rodgers dressed ship and re ceived on board the members of the Taiman and Faipule and many of the principal chiefs and representatives of the Samoans. The crew were exercised at general quarters and a torpedo was exploded after being duly ex Piaired tothem. Tne despatch of Commander Rodgers 1s dat:d July 15th; he intended to visit the harbor of Pago-Pago and then return Apia, where entirely ready for sea, the Adams will sail for Valparaiso. THE MAINE ELECTION.—A dis) pute enya: “There is no doubt that Pow- ers is defeated in the 4th Congressional dis- trict, and Hale’s election depends upon a very slender thread. The senate will give 9 repub- lican majority. Returns for governor from 284 cities and towns received at the Journal office show in these towns a total vote of 102,868, Sree connor 47,278, Garcelon 22.754 and Smith 32,836. Connor’s plurality over Garcelon is 24,525 and his plurality over Smith 14,442, Connor lacks 8,312 of a majority over both. The same towns last year gave Connor 44,998, Williams 32 673 and Munson 4,932; Con- nor's majouity 7,393.”" A dispatch from Portland says: “The rep- resentatives to the legislature known to be elected are thus far 58 republicans, 39 green- backers, 18 democrats, and not refried 36. Of these 19 are known to be democrats or reenbackers. If all the rest are repulicans ey will still lack one of a majoriiy. Whi it is apparent that the greanbackers and dem- ocrats will control the house, the result of 17 unknown repre-entatives will be required to settie who contro's the joint ballot, which is the most important, as that elects the state officials.” ANOTHER SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT. — President Hayes arrived in Madison, Wis., yesterday, and visited the fair grounds. He made a Speech, advocated sound money, dep- recating the issue of paper money merely be- cause ic is cheaper to produce it. In conclu- sion he said ly friends, we cannot if we wou'd, we should not if we could, isolate our- selves from the rest of the commercial world in allour measures for the improvement of our own financial condition. We should re- member that the necessities of trade with for- eign nations re: tion should be juire that our financial condi- soundness and wisdom are sanctioned by the itch from upon principles od universal experience and ji ent of man- Kind. ‘Balances must be settled in cash’ in With diminished and the money of the world. still decreasing burdens of public debt, ex- penditures and interests, with an improved condition of currency and forel; le, we may surely predict that we are about to wel- come better times: but we must not forget that the surest foundation of a restored finan- cial “ped gd @ sound constitutional cur- rency and the national credit untarnished.” {Long- continued applause.} CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.—Wm.

THE POLITICAL ISSUES OF THE TIME. Hon. Geo. W. McCrary, Secretary of War,on the invitation of the republican state central committee of Iowa, made an address at Kro- kuk, Iowa, yesterday on ‘The Political Issues of the Time,” including the republican record, reconciliation with the south, peace and pro- tection. democratic economy, southern war claims, and the financialissue. Aiter eu'oziz- ing the republican record, he said it does not follow that because we claim credit for the re publican party for being irue to the Union throughout the dark days of the rebellion, aud for having carried the country through that struggle to victory and 8, that we may not sincerely desire complete reconct:tation aod a hearty union with the people of the south. We desire peace, union, prosperity, and happin’ 3s for the whole country. The south is now on trial. There is surely no excuse now, even by their own confession, for a coptinuaue> of the process by which, prior to March 4, 1877, a'l the southern states but three, and nearly all the Sonesta district:, many of them having confess dly large republican majorities, were carried over to the democratic party. When another election comes we shail see whether, when left to themselves, the southern demo: crats will allow a free ballot and guarantee @ fair and honest count of the votes cast. On the subject of southern war claims he said ake emcee ans _ the ep es it une e Purpose of the party to provide for paying disioyat claimants for damages growing out of the war. Itis, however, a significant fact that no Such denial comes from the democrats of the south. On the contrary, the democratic members of Congress from that section have Tegularly, at every session for years past, flooded Congress with bills for the payment of these claims. He had no faith in the sincerit of the democrats in voting for the proposed con: titutional amendment to prohibic the pay- ment of such claims. On the financial issue he went over much the same ground as tle President went over in his reveut speech, dwelling on the fact that the aggregate of reduction of the national debt since Mareh 4 1859, bas reached the sum of $159,882, whereby there is an annual saving of $31,2)3,- 642.50 in interest, and that the aggregate of reduction since March 4. 1556, exceeds the enormous sum of over $572,000.C0—about one- third of the present debt—ana secures an an- nual reduction of interest of more than 3s, 000,000, He then proceeded to combat the doctrine in favor of the abolition of the na- tional banks and the issue by the government direct of so much currency as the wants of trade or the business interests of the country may demand, holding that, whilst it is true that the United States pays interest on the bonds held as security for the national bank circulation, it ig not true that one farthing of this interest would be saved by the abolition of the banks. The Pestilence Increasing. The reports from the infected yellow fever districts are still discouraging. In New Orleans yesterday there were 23) new cases and 80 deaths. The towboat Harry ‘Wright left New Orleans last evening for Pilottown with one doctor and four nurses. Twenty-seven cases of fever have occurred there and five deaths. A son of Judge Ray, of New Orleans, died of yellow fever yester- day. His oldest son is convalescing, while two daughters are just taken down.

Fifty-nine deaths had been reported up to noon, making 115 singe Monday noon. At Vicksburg yesterday the weather was clear apd w arm, the thermometer standing at 89.

The citizens of Grenada, Miss., assembled in mass meeting Monday resolved that inas much as the relief committee of Grenada, whose names are John Powell and Robt. Mui- ler, have for weeks past absented themselves from Grenada, and utierly neglected to attend the sick or bury the dead, or provide for the destitute and ‘sutlering people, and have re- sisted all appeals to return to the city and per. form their auties, it is the sense of this meet- ing that the necessities of our community de- mand the appointment of a sub-relief com. mittee. whose duty it shall be to solicit and receive contributions of money and provi- sions of all kinds from sympathetic people o the country, and disburse the same for th - benefit of those who are suffering from the prevailing epidemic. The committee appoint ed by the citizens’ meeting is composed of th following well-known gentlemen: Rev. Wm C. McCracken, chairman; J. H. Campbell and A.Stweigart. Our friends all over the land are requested to send such contributions by express to Rev. Wm. C. McCracken, chairman Grenada sub-relief committee.

The petitioner called to the witness stand Alexander D. Payne, of Warrenton, Va.,a lawyer. In Au- gust, 1862, he was Ist ‘lieutenant of cavairy in en. Stuart’s corfederate cavalry. He tes.i- fied that on the 20.h of August he was at the headquarters of Gen. Lee. He was aonely, conversant with the country thereabout: l- ing been born there. e gist of his evidence was to the effect that there was no general en- ee on the 29th, as stated by Gen. Pope in his dispatches, but there was a severe en- gagement on the 30th, the severest of the war, the slaughter being terrible, the ground being blue with dead and wounded. This was brought out to show Porter's bravery as a gen- eral and his loyally tothe cause. The next witne:s was Captain James Mitchell, of New York. In 18.2 he was captain in the Vir.inia volunteers in Kemper’s brigade. His was simply corroborative evidence as to no fighting of any consequence on the 29th. Col. Walter 8. Davis, of California, also gave corroborative testimony. PENDLETON PRAISES THE PRESIDENT FOR DESTROYING THE REPUBLICAN PaRTY.—Hon. George H. Pendleton made a campaign speech in Columbus yesterday.
