Garfleld will b2 :reted President of the United States and that ive vote of the state of New York willetect htm, This, tco. is the opinion of s te These opinions of prominent leaders a statement made a year or wore ago varts, when he said, “You @ compas atl Park of and the next President wit! be elected by People living within a radius of fitiy mile Even conceding the democrats carry India Oblo and Maine, prominent leaders like C. ron aud Secretary Sherman still maintain that Gen. Garileld will be els . This calculation is based upon republican success tn the follaw- ork the ing states: Calltornia, 6: Connecti- cut, 6; gre 21; Iowa, 5; Massa- Mie e chusetts, 1 braska, 3; 5; Wisconsin, ¢ lee ders that If the business Interests of New York carry that state to the Tepublican column, that New Jersey and Con- necticut, in a sense merely wards of New York, will follow the Emptre state. Upon this calcu: lation Gen. Garfield would be elected by a ma- Jority of two votes in the electoral college, after ving to Gen. Hancock the debatable states ot ndiana, Ohio and Maine. To corroborate this View, itss stated that a gentleman weil versed »D politics, who has traveled through New Jer- , Says that the chances are that the repub- ns will carry that state. He says that Newark 1s now a manufacturing town only ond to Philadelphia, and that the manufac- turing interests look upon the democratic party as committed to free trade. For this reason, he says even democratic manufacturers will vote the republican ticket, because free trade mean3 the ruination of that business. At Paterson, Rahway and New B-unswick he reports a sim: ilar condition of aff=i-s. THAT POLITICAL MAIL MatTrER.—Postmaster Alpger has written a letter to Gen. Duncan Walker, secretary of the democratic congres- slonal committee, calling the latter’s attention to the fact that there is now he!d in the post- office a large amount of the committee's mall matter, which cannot be forwarded until the postage is paid. The letter has reference to the franked matter not under the provisions of law, mentioned in THE Star of yesterday. IMPORTED VESSEIS FOR LAKE NAVIGATION.— Chief Clerk Clark, of the revenue marine nr- Teau, who hasrecently returned from a tour of inspection on ube great lakes, says that he learned while there that large barges are bi inCanada and brought to the United States and sold to Americans at prices considerably below those which are asked for similar vessel3 of American make. The act of June 30, 137, Telieving American built barges from toinage tax. has been so construed as to adinit of the trading of Canadian vessels of American own2r- ship under like advantages. As tnese trans- actions worked considerable injury to the Amor- ican barge building industry, the matter was referred to Secretary Sherman,and the evidence of an investigation Is the issuance of a receat circular containing a decision of the Attorney General on the application of the law, and in- structing collectors to collect $1.30 per ton on Canadian built vessels of the class referred to alter Oct, Ist, notwithstanding that they may be owned by American citizens. NeW FURNITURE, FOR—-WHO?—Mrs, Hayes recently ordered in Cincinnati a new sideboard and dinner table for the state dining room at the White House. The pleces are to beof ma- hogany, massive and elegant in design, as they should be for their place. They are to be de- Signed and executed by the Messrs. Fry, who rabk with the best if not as tte best wood car- vers !n the United States. ‘The extenston table in process of construction {s five feet broad and twenty feet long. The legs ‘are the bodles of eagles suffictently conventionalized to afford a firm support to the massive leaves above. The ccmpantion ptece 1s also to be built on a princely weale. The national arms, engraved in ebony, are inlatd at intervals on the top, and the na- tional bird figures on the central panel beneath. The support or feet of the sideboard are also the claws of the bird of freedom embraclag a ball; this last feature intended to de en suite with other pleces of furniture at the Waite Heuse. Upon the panels are represented the oak and the laurel, struggle and victory, and other plants, mostly the natefral growth of the state Of Ohio, PAYMASTER JORDAN'S BOSTON SWEETHEART AND WASHINGTON WIFE.—Vassed Assistant Pay- master John W, Jordan, U. 8. N., is well-known in Washington. He !s dashing and handsome. His home has been in this city for the past six years, that is his wife and child have lived here Sbout that time. They formerly resided on K street, but afterwards boarded at the Hamilvn House. Jordan first became generally known here when the Portsmouth came around from San Francisco prior to het Ro aha with goods for the Paris exposition. Ie came with the Portsmouth, which lay here some time before sailing for Havre. After the return of the Porismouth he was assigned to several duties, his latest order having been to special duty at Boston where, according to the Herald of that city, he seems to have got into trouble. That paper says he was engaged to be married toa oupg lady of seed family and with $300,000 In her own right, but that his wife made her ap- pearance in time to prevent his bigamous mar- Tage. No charges against him have been made at the Navy department, where all that is known of his recent affairs is contained in the published account. He ts about forty years old and wes well up on the list in the way to promo- Uon to paymaster.

Li com Sane ae latter part of this | by persons who allow thetr water to be ci OUR WATER SERVICE, Annual Report of the Registrar. Water Registrar Cox, in bis report for the year ending June 30, 1880, just submitted to the District Commissioners, favs:—“It_ affords me great pleasure to state that the affairs of th> Water department are ina better condition than. they bave heretofore ever be 2 ing’ every day. The departin Years will be entirely free. Tn Is not incurring any Lew debts, and the delinquent water main taxes are being pald up. When the delinqnens water main taxes are all paid, which 13 only a qnestion of a short time, [ feel confident tha: the department will then bs In a condition to reduce the water rents. The water takers gen- erally seem satisfied with the present charges, and there have been much fewer complatots than formerly. The plan adopted for sead! out notices to delinquents through the po: office proves to be the best that has yet been infed. The post office returns all communica- tions when {t cannot tind the parttes to whom Ubey are addressed, Consequently we know who receive notices and Who do not, and there cannot be much complaint about not receiving notices. When complaints are made they C off for nop-payment, and when the department executes the laws by exacting the penalty of #2 before it will turn the water On again. The most embarrassing thing the department hes to contend with 1s the insufficient suppl ot water. I think !f Congress can be persua: to take prompt action the coming winter to remedy this trouble, that the eltizens of V ington and Georgetown will have less grounds of complaint than any city In the unton. When itis tnderstood that the two citles have the seme supply which was at first Introdiced, when there were only about 3,500 water taker: When at tke present time there are over 1.000 water takers, I think persons will be more con- siderate in their criticisms about the adnin's- lation of the affairs of the water department, upon the subject of the scarcity of water. There have been added to the number of water takers for the year ending June 30, 1530, eight hundred and sixty-five; and the numbar added for the year ending Jhine 3), 1831, will be far greater, and every addition ‘takes away more or less from the water pressure, aud if something is not dove soon to give the cities an increased supply, we will have a water famine Ike mapy of’ the other citles of the United States, a8 noted In the newspapers of the present year. It 1s all mportant that the dam at the Great Falls, on the Poromac river, should be extended, and an additional large Dipe, four feet ty diameter, be brought from the yee. Fveirs at Drover above Georgetown, across Rock Creck into Washington. One of tie troubles the department has had to comtend With during the past summer was the tov con- dition of the Potomac river, and the distriba- ting reservoirs above Georgetown, owing to the continuous dry spell which, of course, ltd the effect ct lessening the pply of water coming into the two cites, We have sent out over 15,000 Circulars to water takers, calling atten- Uon to the waste of water and the imporiaac ot keeping the traps in water c down, to prevent the foul gas from the sewers from escaping into houses, whieh 1 is h ‘d and believed will have due effect. Henry Larman, the efficient nspector and tapper of water maius, has called my at. tention to the necessity of Inserting a 30'1 cock, for a blow off, near the intersectio: ‘w Jersey avenue and D street northwest, for the purpose of flushing the large mains to clean out mud which accumulates sometimes to the depth of six inches, and I recommend that this stop cock be put in, which can be done at an estimated cost of $1,800. If this is done the large mains can be kept free from mud, which will have the effect of tmproving the water sup- ply. In conclusion, I take pleasure in saying that theemployés of the department are e:ti- client and industrious gentlemen, and a great deal of whatever success the department may have attained Is due to them.” Political Notes, ‘The democratic congressional committes says that it pays out $250 a day for postage on cam- Paign matter. Secretary Schurz is in much demand as a campaign er, and he has consented to make a brief trip of a week or so to the western October states. He will speak at Cleveland during the first week in Octob2r, and at one or two other points in Ohio, and will also speak in Indiana, ‘There was received at democratic headquar- ters at the Capitol to day a good-sized piece of the pavement, kuown as the De Gollyer pavement.

The week following he will speak In Indiana, He will then go to Iitnols, where he will spend most of October In campaign work. Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, who has actively entered inio the canvass tn Indiana, spoke at Evansyille yesterday to a large meeting of Tepublicans, and was well received. The Soa- atcr’s remarks were mainly devoted to recon- struction, finance and state sovereignty. Hon. 8. J. Anderson, late fusion candidate for Congresgin the Portland (Me.) district, tele- ey that only thirteen greendack delegates ted from the convention which indorsed the fusion electoral ticket, which he predicts will carry Maine by 10,000 majority. The Massachusetts greenback state conven- tion yesterday nominated Gen. Horace Binney Sargent for goveraor by acclamation; for lied- tenant governor, Geo. Dutton; secretary of state, Jonathan Arnold; treasurer, Wilbur F. Whitney; auditor, Chas. T. Warner; attorney- general, Jonn M. Raymond. A reso!ution coa- lemning Gen. Butler for jeining the democrats was voted down. Senator Cameron lefi the city this moralnz. He will not occupy his new house this winte: as it will not be finished {n time. He wil take up quarters at the Arlington, He says that anyvedy who thinks Pennsylvania is going democratic is a fool. He {3 not certain about sets clo! Indiana. New York wil be carried by the re- pelea, his opiaion He says the busin interests of the state are so much alarm: the prospect of a democrasic administratis that it will go for Garfield. Tne same c and others will result in the election of the re. publican ticket without a doubt in his mind. Ex- Gov. Dennison, of Oalo, has been inter- Viewed on the outlook In his state and Indiana, and he says that regarding Ohio, he never kwew the republicans more thoroughly united or better saulsfied with a nomination than with that of Garfield. There are no defections, he continued, amongst the German yoters, aud ‘there ts little if any doubt of twelve or thirteen republican congressmen being elected. Mr. Dennison was not so confident of the result in Indiana, but he still thought the republicans’ chances yery good there, on account or the pop- ularity of Gartield and a widespread dislike fur English in that state. A SrRaNcE Srory.—A woman living in Kan- Sas city abouwa year ago applied for some registered bonds as the executor of her mur- dered husband. Her identity was not clearly established, and the question as to whether the control of the bonds should be given her was referred in the spring to the first controller. Judge Lawrence some Ume ago decided that she would bave to more clearly estabish her right 4s the wife. A detective in San Francisco has written to the department that the woman now applying for the bonds fs the wife of her hus- band’s murderer, That individual is reported by the detective to have killed the husband, then ‘his own wife—while the two famiifes were traveling together in the west, and then mar- ried the widow, This report has not been coa- firmed.
