The ways in which this coin can be pro- cured are given and are the same as those here- tofore issued with the additional notice that the dollars can be had free of expease at the San Franctsco, New Orleans and Philadelphia mints upon a certificate from the assistant trea- surers in those cities without the delay of hay- ing the transaction confirmed at the Treasury in Washington. U.S. Troors To PuRsvE Reyes.—The follow- Ing dispatch from Col. Willcox, commanding the department of Arizona, has been forwarded to the War department “Capt.

Ru- mored at Tucson that sheriff from Araraca had arrested some twenty in number, and Rafferty says U. 8. deputy marshal bad also gone down. No resistance anticipated, but I had ordered Rafferty to furnish troops if called for by U. S. marshal or district attorney.” A CorRECTION.—In a report in a morning Paper of the democratic ratification meeting last night Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett isnamed as among those present. This is an error, a3 under his recent crushing affliction (in the death of his gifted son) his natural feelings as well as his sense of propriety would prevent him from belng present at a political meet- ing. A Feriovs Storm neral McDowell has forwarded the following dispatch received by him from Fort Mojave, Arizona, to the War de- partment. It was dated the 224; “Furious Storm; company quarters blown down; three killed. Officers’ quarters destroyed. Hospital ors gad houses much damaged.

Secretary Evarts we Beever) be back some time during the week. THE DEMAND FOR SILVER DOLLARS.—The de- mand for standard silver dollars keeps up. During this fail it is certain that the cireula- ton of the coin will be very largely increased. It cannot be otherwise. Las: year when the demand for small notes was on, the Treasury department {ssued $35,000,000 in fives, tens and twenties, in exchange for notes of the larger denominations. This year this excl fe Can not be as large. The large notes are more wide- ly scattered and canuot be got together to se- cure small notes inexchange. In all themoney centers the amount of notes held has fallen most materially, As small money is absolucely necessary, the silver doHar must be taken. Even those banks which have held out against it will have tocome down. They will have to accommodate their customers. CLERKS DISCHARGED.—A number of clerks in the Surgeon General’s and Adjutant General’s offices were discharged to-day. It is stated by two of those discharged that they are demo- crats, and got the notifications that their ser- vices would be no longer required after the 3ist, simply because they are democrats. They also say that the other men discharged are of the same political faith. It 1s stated, however, in \he offices from which the dischi were made, that the removais are made for other causes—that it is not even known what are the politics of those dismissed. PERSONAL —Col.

(Special to The Star.) ALEXANDRIA, August 27th. The cemccratic congressional convention of the eighth district of Virginia promises to become famous. This is the third dsy of the session, and at 1 o'clock, as I write, eighty-five ballots have been taken, and’as vet no nomination has been made. After the reassembling of the convention yesterday afternoon, it remained in con- Unuous session until daybreak thts morn- ‘ng, When a short respite was taken for break- fast. At 10 o'clock to-day the conveation aain reassembled, and at 1 o'clock was still ballot- Jng. Thus far the race ts still between Neale of Alexandria, and Conrad of Winchester Conrad leads Neale in the latest ballots, but so little that it cannot be taken as significant. The friends of both candidates have their teeth clencted, and if they remain as firm as at this writing ‘they declare they are, the convention may run a week. Late last night Neale was ap- | spruce to to withdraw in fav: of Judge Stewart, of Alexandria, the impression being abroad that he could be nominated and that Alexandria could thus secure the nominee even if not Neale. To all such overtures, however, Neale lent a deaf ear, and the result is his friends cling to him as pertanaclously as ever. Those who oppose Neale say that he cannot be nominated. It is openly hinted that he hasa barrel, and that he has used it freely; that although the “barl” is not exhausted that all the bung holes he can find in the shape of vot- ing delegates have made a “connection,” and hence he can recrult no additional strength. It may be the report of the “barl;” may be a myth, and is accredited as in existence because Neale is blessed in a worldly sense with a plethoric bank egehe quer. The Gelegat to-day look jaded and worn out by reason of last night's protracted vigil. Despite ibis, however, the friends of reither candidate as yet show any signs of wavering. The long contest is beginning to arouse some personal feeling, and the longer headed wise aeres now think it better to bring ina new man. No name is suggested as yet, although J. 8. Barbour, the president of the Virginia Mid- lond Railroad Co., Capt. Wm. Payne, of War- renton, and even Gen. Eppa Hunton are men- tioned. There does not seem to be any good basis now tipon which to predicate the success of either Neale or Conrad. The longer the con- test between these two holds out the smaller the chances of both grow. ‘The Neale men say they can hold out a week, if necessary, because they are at home. This fact 4s counted upon by Neale’s friends to event- ually insure Neale’s success by worrying the Conrad men out,and making them come to Neale, so that they can go home and attend to their own business. The convention at one o'clock took a recess until 1:30 o'clock. after taking the 91st ballot, which stood 3,343 for Neale against 8,354 for Conrad, To make a choice 11,12!;votes are ne- cessary. A COMPROMISE PROPOSED, ALEXANDRIA, VA., August 27, 2.42 p.m. ‘The convention has taken. a recéss till ‘tareo o'clock. A compromise is being arranged to withdraw Neale and put in nomination John 3. Barbour, president of the Virginia ratiroad. Neale will consent to this, and Barbour wil! un- doubtedly be nominated if he will accept.

A ma- jority of the committee, however, are already ere, and the report is that they are about evenly divided as to the prc pety of the step. The principal objection to the convention, as heretofore explained, is that {t will open ‘the door ae to negotiations with John Kelly, with whom the friends of Mr. Tilden are soll citous to have nothing further to do. On oiher hand, this objection 1s met with the sug gestion that if Kelly ts kept out in the cold, and the democracy thus again forced back to their old faction lines, it will be a problem whether General Hancock can calculate with any cer- tainty on the electoral vote of the state. Mr ‘Tilden 1s, as everybody knows, a very deter mined man, and “he will, if he can, hav his own way, irrespective’ of conseqtience: He naturajly considers Kelly asthe man who deprived him of the Presidential nomina- Uon, and nothing that he can do to deprive him tn turn of political influence will be left undone. It is whispered that if the state com- mittee decline to call the convention, and fol- low the republican precedent of having the former body name the candidate, that. a check Tae Fete will be at the service of the demo- ce committee before §; y DIghL—N. ¥.

Sherman’s Letter. WHAT HE WROTE GEN. HANCOC 1876. The “Life of General Hancocl published yesterday by D. Appleton & Co., of New York, contains his correspondence with General Sher- man, of December, and January, is77, In the course of which the ‘letter already given to the public, written at Carondelet, Mo., Decem- ber 2sth, was addressed to General Sherman. The letter wrote December 4th, granting Gen- eral Hatcock’s application for leave of absence to go to Carondelet and in his letter made th: fol‘owjng allusion (the only one) to political affairs. ‘Referring to the orders sent by the President to Gen. Ruger, commanding the De- pattment of the South, Gen. Sherman satd: “The political orders to Ruger at Columbia I preferred should go from the President to him through the Secretary of War. They were not military. I dislike much to have our soldiers used in connection with the legislative body, but orders coming from the President have to be obeyéd. They form a bad precedent, but thus far haveprevented a collision of arms between inflamed partisans.” ‘The next letter from Gen. Sherman to Gen. Hancock (mentioned in the latter's letter from Carordelet published some time ago) is as fol- lows: “WasHINGTON, December 17, 1876. “My Dear Geneval:—Lest_ your peace of mind may be disturbed by the foolish report bandied in the newspapers about your belng ordered Irom New York, I will tell you that there ts not a@ word of truth in it. Neither the President nor Secretary of War has ever intimated to me such @ purpose, and I know I have never said a word or written a syllable to Unat effect, I see in the Republican of St. Louls that not only was the order made, but that I destroyed it, and tore out the leaves of the record book contal: Jng the copy. The whole thing wa invention by somebody who wants to create a sensation. The same is true about John $ man intriguing to de president of the Seaate, that he might be Presiaent ad interim. He has told me that he has never heard the subject broached; that he would not accept the place, as Le prefers to be what he fs now, chalrmaa of the Senate committee on finance. ‘The letter concludes: “No ser command are betpg contem} they are you may be sure tha the earliest notice, ‘Tere are men on niscitet intent who would gladly sow the seeds of dis- sension among us of the army.” ‘This letter 13 followed by the Carondelet, let- ter, from Gen. Hancock, to which Ges. Sher- man replied as follows: “WASHTN “Dear Friend—1 did not interesting letter of December 25th from Caron- delet, Mo., until yesterday. Iam very glad to ave your views in extenso upon subjects of such Vital iinportance. Our standard optatons are mostly formed on the practice of our predo- cessots; but a great Change was made after the close oF the clvil war by the amendments of the Constitution, giving to une freed slaves civil and political rights, and empowering Con- gress tomake laws necessary to enforce thes» Tights. ‘This power {5 new and absolute, and Congress has enacted law3 with which we are pot yet familiar and accustomed. [See pagi SAS, 349 and 350, Revised Statutes (Section 195%, eciiion of 1své-4.} Asa matter of fact I disitke to have our army used in these civil conilicts, but the President has the lawful right to use the army and navy, and has exercised the right, as he believes, lawfully and rightfully, and our duty has been, and is, to sustain him with ze. and sincerity. As to the presidential election, We are In u0 manner required to take the least action, but to recognize Ulm as President whom the lawfully appointed officers declare to be such person. f hope and pray that Congress will agree on some method before the day and hourarrive. But in case of failure to elect by or before the 4th of March, there will be a va- cancy in both oftices of ey and vice presi- dent, in which event the President of thes 2 ate becomes president pro tempore, and a new election will have to be held, under the law of 1792. (See title 3, chapter 1, pages 21, 22 and 23, Revised Statutes.) It is well we should compare notes and agree before the crisis 1s on us; but I surely hope We may pass this ordeal safely and peacefully. I will be pleased to hear from you at any time.” The next letter published is from Gen. Han- cock to Gen. Sherman, dated New York, Janu- ary 2d. It is as follows: Geneval:—An anonymous communication to the Secretary of War, dated Louisville, Ky., De- cember 16th, 1876, reached my headquarters on the 27th of that month from the oilice of the adjutant general of the army. It represents that “in the contemplated uprising of the peo- pe to inferce the tnauguration of Tilden and lendricks, the depot at Jeffersonville 1s to be Seized and is expected to arm and ciothe the In- diana army of democrats.” The endorsement on this enn leeron. Made at your head- and fs an us changes in J, and when T will give you quarters, dated mber 26th, i8i6, 13 as follows: “Officlal copy. Kespectfully re- ferred to General W. S. Hancock, com- manding division of the Atlantic, who nity draw a company from General Ruger, com- manding the department of the South, and post it at Jeffersonville depot, with orders to protest it against any danger.” The terms of the endorsement imply an exercise of discretion on my part which leads me to write you before taking action. In my judgment there is no ager Of the kind the anonymous communica- Mon sets forth, or other kind, at Jeffersonville Depot to justify a movement of troops to that place. Such a movement, it seems to me,would involve unnecessary expense, and would create or increase appreiension for which there is no real foundation. There are no arms or ammu- nition at the Jeffersonville Depot, and if such force as is referred to could be raised for rebel ious purposes, {t 1s not likely that it would be- gin by selzing of depot of army uniforms; and, therefore, if there are grounds Tor action of the government, I see no danger in the delay which Will result from this presentation of the subject voyou. If, however, in your better judgment, a company Should be sent there, It shall be prompuy done as soon as you notify me to that effect. As have already sald, I do not act at ence, because in your instractions you say “may” send a company there, which I con- Strue as leaving 1t somewhat discretionary with me. On the i9th of January General Hancock wrote to General Sherman that he had beea so busy that he had “not yet written as he tn- tendea” in reply to the acknowl nent of his letter from Carondelet. He says: “1! wished to notice simply your reference to the several states, and one cr two other points ta a brict way. I will do so yet, but not to-day, as ] am louse hunting.” ‘The proposition for a joint committee insures & peacetul solution of the presidential question, if {t becomes a law; and, tn my opinion, gives to General Hayes chances he did not have before. I have considered that Mr. Tilden’s chances were iiopregnable; not so with Mr. Henéricks’, Now, it seems to me that Governor Hayes has something more than an equal chance; but the definite results cannot be fore- shadowed. Fortunately, trouble need not be provided against by the use of the army, should the bill become alaw. If the bill and General Grant vetoes {t, Mr. Tilden’s chances will be stronger than before—certaiuly, if he and his friends supported the measure. Public opinion will strengthen his position. The danger in the Compromise question, or joint committee plan, is that the defeated candidate might appeal to the Supreme Court on grounds of iegal (unconstitutional) decisions. General Sherman writes the closing letter ot the correspondence, as published. Iv 1s dated Washington, January 29. He said: “The passing of the bill for counting the elec- toral vote, approved by the President, ends, in my judgme bie danger of confusion ent, all possi! or -aisorder in connection with the presidential Imbrogiio. I feel certain that the dual govern- mentsin South Carolina and Louistana will be decidea by the same means which determines who 1s to be next President of the United States.
