An attempt to establish one fatled for want of pupils. Judge Christiancy adds that the number of deaf and dumb persons in Peru seem to be in @ much less ratio than in the United states, REDEMPTION OF MUTILATED SILVER CERTIFI- CATES.- retary Sherman has decided that silver certificates, mutilated to the extent of one-tenth or more, must be presented for re- demption to the Treasurer of the United States 4m accordance with the regulations governing the redemption of U. 8. notes. ‘That Is, that silver certificates mutilated to the extent of one-tenth, but not two-tenths, are redeemable at nine-tenths of full face value; two-tenths, but not three-tenths, at eight-tenths of their face value; three-tenths, but not four-tenths, at seven-tenths of their face value; four-tenths, but not one-half, at six-tenths of their face value, Fragments of notes, each constituting clearly one-half, are redeemable at one-half the full face value of such whole notes. SECRETARY SHERMAN will make - several speeches in Ohio between now and the Lith. He will leave next Tuesday for Ohio, and will cast his vote for Foster and Hickenlooper.

During the present month the coinage of gold eagles and half eagles will be ve.y extensive, the foreign gold peng converted into coins of these denomina- lous. THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS met last even- ing at the rooms of ex-Senator Poole. There were about fifty present. The chairman of the ccmmittee on organization, Col. Hill, reported in favor of permanent organizotion. The report Was adopted.

Young has officially reported to this effect to the Department of Justice, and other official testimony of the same character. ‘The papers in bis case have Ween sent to we President out wes GEN.

S. commercial agent at Algiers, Africa, in a dis- patch tothe Department of State gives notice that an additional tax of four cents per ton has been imposed upon all foreign vessels arriving at Algiers, from and after Sept. 1, 1379. DECISION IN A LAND CasE.—The acting Secre- tary of the Interior has rendered a decision in the case of the City of Grantsville, Utah, against Thomas McBride, affirming, on Bcpeal, the former deciston of the Commissioner of the Gexeral Land Office in favor of the appellee, on the grounds that the “entry of McBride was not confirmed by section 2d of the act of March 3d, 1877, and his settlement prior to the date of his homestead entry cannot be recognized as conferiing on him any rights under the home stead law.” THE ANNIVERSARY C&LEBRATION AT YORK- TOWN.—The committee of citizens having ihe arrangements for the Yorktown (Va.) ceiebra- tion in charge have requested that the Secre- tary of the Navy direct that the forthcoming naval review take place at Yorktown during the celebration, instead of at Hampton Roads, as heretofore determined on. Seeretary Thomp. ‘son will act upon this request upon his return, and will very probably grant it; or at least order several vessels to Yorktown the day of the celebration. The Odd Fellows have also requested that their fellows in government employ in Virginia be allowed to take part in the ceremonies, belng granted leave of absence for that purpose. This request will be granted. MOVEMENTS OF U. 8, NAVAL VESSELS.—The Tuscarora sailed from San Francisco yesterday afternoon to continue her surveys, The Wa- chusett sailed from the Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard yesterday afternoon for the South Atlantic, to take the place of the Essex, SECRETARY SHERMAN Is engaged in the prep- aration of a speech which he will deliver in Ohio next week, and for which state he will leave Washington on Tuesday next.

A., and family are at the Ebbitt House, ..-.It 18 understood that in a few daysSir Leon- ard Tilley, minister of finance of the Canadian — will visit Washington on important matters, CanaDa’s WRECK LAws MODIFIED.—The Trea- sury department is in receipt of a circular issued by the minister of customs of Canada, modifying the terms of the circular of March 5th, 1878, relative to wrecking by fo) vessels in Canadian waters, by which vessels of any nationality will be allowed to go to the relief of wrecked vessels when there is danger of loss of life or property, but the privilege of wrecking vessels and cargoes cast upon the Canadian shores and stranded and wrecked, requiring apparatus for their removal and of discharging cargoes into other vessels, 1s still reserved ex- clusively for Canadian vessels, ‘Tue Ure OUTBREAK.—Up to halt-past two this afternoon rothing had been received at the War or Iuterlor departments concerning the new Indian outbreak in Colorado. It 13 ex- pected that Gen. Merritt will reach the scene of the recent fight to relieve Capt. Payne, some time this afternoon, It is probable the Indians will disappear at his approach. Whether immediate [eee] will be undertaken uy, Gen. Merritt will depend upon the condition of his supplies. ‘This being a relief march {t 13 very likely that he took no great amount of La lies with him.

B. Johnson, secretary and treasurer of the Howard University, has made application to the District Commissioners for the sum of 42,500, the second quarterly instalment of the $10,000, appropriated by Congress for that University for the current fiscal year, the same to be placed to tre credit of the institution at the U.S, Treasury, The District Commissioners have tssned an order fixing the time for the payment of taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1579; that vie first half of said tax shali be due and payae on the ist day of November, 1s79, and the se - ond half on the 1st day of May, 1sS0, ‘The statement in yesterday's SraR, showing the amount collected for water taxes from June 1s79 to July 1879, should have read from June 1874 to July 1879. Mr. James Small, sealer of welghts and meas- ures, In bis last monthly report, Shows the col- lection of ¢i54 fees, and the condemnation of several half peck and quart measures for being shoit cf the standard. Commissioner Twining made a visit to Balti- more yesterday for the purpose of examiniog into the extension of the water works of that city, and espectally to inform himse!f in rela- tion to their reservoir capacity. He, in com- pany with Mayor Latrobe and Messrs. Manning and Martin, connected with those works, made an examination of the reservoirs. He reports them, in comparison with like service in this District, as enormous. VISION OF OUR LICENSE LAWS NECESSARY Mr. C. S. Jones, inspector of licenses, in a re- pore to Treasurer Dodge states that. since his ast monthly report he has filed information with the attorney for the District in 140 cases of pretnce dealers doing business without license, eing nearly the entire number engaged in that business. Process has not been issued in any ease as yet. He calls attention to the necessity existing for a revision of the license laws as a matter of equity between the various mercan- tile interests of the District. In this connection be expresses the hope that no movement in this direction will be taken advantage of by sentimental theorists to inaugurate a warfare upon the liquor system as now recognized by law, looking to its ultimate extinction, saying: “It 18 so closely interwoven with the material interests of this locality and with those of the government of the United States that any at- tempts on our part in this way to eradicate It by legislation must not only prove abortive, but at the same time render futile all efforts to improve other portionsof the law, so absolutely essential to its just administration. For these reasons it 13 to beearnestly desired that our efforts for a modification of the license system will be directed to portions of it other than that involved in the liquor question. That can very well stand as it is at present. There Is one tea- ture of importance in the way of amendment to the law in question, necessary to its vigorous execution, which should not_ be forgotten. In- formation on oath, filed by the chief of police or the inspector of licenses, as to the parties violating the law, should constitute a prima facie case against’ them, thus throwing upon such persons the burden of disproof.” THE LICENSE TAX ON VIRGINIA HUCSSTERS. In reply to the communteation of Hon. Eppa Hunton, chairman of the House District com- mittee, ‘relative to the imposition of a llcense tax on tbe Virginia hucksters who do business in our markets, the District Commissioners say: “The parties for whom this exemption is asked are in fact hucksters, They buy in Virginia to retail in Washington and, the Commissioners understand, pay a license Inthe state of Vir- ginia. Farmers and market gardeners in Vir- ginia can bring produce of their own raising to the Washington markets and sell without ex- cise charge of any kind, but those they call hucksters are really middlemen. They bring what they purchase to sell at retail tn this mar- ket, and are as much hucksters as those who Bey, butter in Pennsylvania for sale at retail ere. LADLES ON PUMPS. The District Commissione: in reply to a communication from G. W. Woolley, M.D., re- questing by direction of’ Friendship loage, (Good Templars,) that they order dipper or la- dies to be placed on the pumps of the city, in- Close a copy of a portion of the report of’ the water registrar as follows: “ Dippers have been put on all the pumps repeatedly, and have been taken off by thieves. Under the circumstances I cannot recommend that others be put in their places. if pa: ties interested choose to put a dipper or cup on a pump at his own expens: I see no objection to his doing so.” HOLIDAY FOR ODD FELLOWS REQUSSTED. In reply to @ request of Truman Ross and others, stating that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will hold an anniversary on the 15th instant, and requesting that leave of absence be granted on that day to members of the order in District employ, the Cor:mtssioners request that a statement be furnished them of metbership in the employ of the District, BUILDING PERMITS issued by Inspector Entwisle to Henry Cahill, const~uct a two-story brick dwelling, 10th, be- tween G and I sts. s.e.; $300.

Evitor Star:—| week a young colored woman, about 20, applied at No. 1724 14th. street p.w. for work. She gave the name of “Susie” Mason, of Arlington, Va., stating that she had been in the service of @ naval officer (name not recollected), and that his being or- dered away was the reason for her being out of aplace. Her appearance belng neat and tldy, she was engaged to come on the ist Inst. She ee promptly, went to work and made her- self pleasant and gave satisfaction. Oa the morning of the 2d inst., about 10 o'clock, she called the lady of the house and sald she did not like the place, and would not stay. No ob- jection being made to her going, she at once left. A short time after, the lady having ocea- sion to visit her pantry, found missing a market basket, 10 or 12 glasses of jelly, some jars of pre- serves, yeast powder, sugar, <c., and on further investigation missed from the washing sheets, collars, handkerchiefs, &c. The articles were there an hour before, so it is presumed the girl collected and passed them out through the alley back to a confederate before giving the notice of leaving. No doubt she ts a profes- sional, as the pantry was locked and only one key on the premises to fit the lock. The name and residence are perhaps fictitious, and new ones given when occasion requires. It would ee Well for housekeepers to keep a ia or er. J. H. E. aS Mason G, G.

The reason that he ts relieved isthe winding up of this branch of work. Mr. JOHN HENRY PULESTON, Member of the British Parliament for Devonport, has arrived at Philadelphia on the steamer Pennsylvania. A Basy HgLD For Drst.—Several months since a kerosene lamp exploded in residence of Lewis F. Allen, on hh near Winchester street. As reported in The American at the time, Mr. Allen’s wife was in the room, holr her baby in her arms, and the blazing oil so badly burned the mother that she died the next day, the little one, however, escaping without injury. The child was taken by a neighbor named John Brooks to his home on the night of the explosion, and now turns up as source of litigation. Allen makes a statement that the day after his wife's funeral he went to Brook’s to get his child, but he alleges Brooks refused to give it up untila, previously, contracted debt of 15 was paid. Allen went away, and consulted with his friends, who advised him to try again afew days later toget his baby. He did this; but, pomcranng co his statement, Brooks refused to allow him to see the little one, although as- suring him it was receiving the best of care. Allen went away, telling Brooks that he could rot pay the money, but must have his child. ‘The creditor, however, Brooks relates, remained firm, and to repeated demands for the infant, positively refused to yield it up to its father, who at last consulted lawyer T. C. Ruddel about the case. The result was that yesterday morning Mr. Ruddel took Allen before Judge the court of common pleas, who ion. ‘The little one is named Lizzie Alien, — is Sue five months 0old.—[(Baltimore Ga zette, Puck ests that a pretty an in front and a tax Col rr id kee} behind wo the uptoa five-hundred-and. fifty mile score. s@'The Hon.

President Hayes and General Sberman, escor'ed by the military, were at the head of the procession which was viewed by Mrs. Hayes from the front of the post office, and which occupied two hours and five minutes in passing a given point. SPEECH BY THE FRESIDENT. After lunch the President visited the fatr in which be ness, the return of solid currency and of individual and national ered.t, the vast resources of Indiana as a grain and cattle-growing and coal and tron-mining state, ber ten thousand puvlic schools, and, in sroport.on to her population, the largest school- ind inthe union. Aijluding to the history of the state he sald that, with a population grown more largely from the south than any other of | the western states, it was but human that men should sympathize with the part of the country from which thetr fathers emigrated, but, never- theless, no state probably in proportion to pop- ulation sent more men to the front than In- diana. The President also paid a warm tribute to the memory of the late Senator Morton. GEN. SHERMAN ON THE MILK RIVER SLAUGHTER. General Sherman was called for, and in the course of his remarks referred to the slaughter at Milk rtver, Saying we inust punish these In- dians and avenge the dead. It will be done, notwithstanding Congress has given us so few men because of the hard times, which are now past. They have cut our army down now until we can hardly do picket duty on our frontier lires, and that is the way the Indians get the drop onus. They always get the best of us at first, as in the case of Custer. And now, my fellow-soldiers, I would ask of you that you solicit your Congressmen to give usa force large enough to at least do effective picket duty. Why, we have but 25,000 men in the whole United States, 5,000 of whom are clerks. They are non-combatants, hospital men, cooks, «e. What are they good for ina fight? There are not more than 20,000 soldiers scattered over Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Oregon and other points that need protection from predatory raids from the Indians. The other day about 150 were ambushed by the Indians and thirteen of our best troops were killed, two or three of them being officers. The ratlroads are assem- bling forces to go to the relief of this command, and they, no doubt, have been succored by this ume. If the border is to be protected so that the public domain may be empowered and butlt, up like your own beautiful city and country, ten the army must bem intalned at sucha standard as can cope with the hostiles. We cannot fight these Indians without men. There are the Utes, the Cheyennes, the A\rapahoes and other tribes that need attention, and that is the reason. I want you, my old comrades, to use your influence with your Congressmen to have the army strengthened. [Applause.] The party were entertained at the residence of Gen, Benj. Harrison last night, and left at 11 o'clock last night for Fremont, Olio. Alexandria and Fairfax Fair. CREDITAPLE EXHIDIT—THE DISPLAY OF HORSES, CATTLE, HOGS, POULTRY, ETC. (Correspondence of The Star.} ALEXANDRIA, October 1st, 1579, The second annual fair of the Alexandria and Fairfax Agricultural and Industrial Asso- ciation commenced yesterday. It Is a grand success; the entries, say its officers, are three times what they were last year. The display, ay Say synthetically, In exhibition hall, 1s very fine, the articles in’ multitudinous variety are arranged very tastefully, and prettily and the effect is quite imposing. The weather so delightfully autumnal, favors a very large at- tendance from rural districts, and_the reasona- ble expectations in this regard are being fully realized. The salient features of the first day were firemen’s parade and the tournament. The horse exhibit was large and creditable. Among the thoroughbreds were two stallions which were superior animals. There were also amare and two colts which attracted marked attention, and they were well-formed, tine ani- mals. There was a large number of common stock, among which were several serviceable, good animals. Among them also were some Promising colts. As a whole this department was a large improvement on last year, and made a very commendable exhibition. In the swine department there was also a manifest improvement on last year. The Ches- ter White, Essex, and Berkshire breeds were represented by several very fine animals. The expression among the pork raisers was very pronounced and Comméndatory in relation to many of the animals exhibited, The agricultural implement and seedsmen are on the grounds in full force with a great vailety of articles. They have about every- thing new or old—if not obsolete—in their line displayed. They make an excellent show. In the cattle department there are several of the celebrated breeds represented by nice animals. There are Holsteins trom Judge Ful- lerton’s farm; Devons owned by General W. H. F, Lee, and Alderney’s, short horns, and grades of most of these breeds by puny other gentle- men. The show was a very creditable one. In the de} nt_of poultry I think there is a very gratitying exhibit. The birds are nearly all fine, and the varieties include Light and ie Ginn a pares eee Coch- ins, Games, Mexicans, American Dominiques, He White, Black and Brown horns, Rocks, White Cochins, White Crested Black Polands, Bearded Silver Polands, Pen- ciled Hamburgs, Bantams of every shade of color, ad injnitum, and Doves “till you can’t rest.” White and Brown China Geese, Pexin Ducks ard Black Cayuga Ducks, The Games and the Plymouth Rocks birds were the poorest in the show: In brief, this show of poultry is in quality one of the best I have ever seen. To- morrow I will furnish the account, and then crave alittle space to “point amoral” as the greatest—after Shakespeare’s—of Albion's poets would express it. L.S. A. Wall Street To-day. New York, Oct. 3.—The Post’s financial arti- cle says: “The stock exchange closed yest day and opened to-day in a whirl of excitement.
