PRESIDENT GARFIELD's FaTAL Wotnp.—In the grand jury room, when the case of Guiteau was being considered, the wound of President Gar- field and the course of the ball were fully ex- plained by Dr. D. S. Lamb, by the aid of a fine colored diagram of a section of the human body, also a ion of the lumbar vertebra and small ribs oa skeleten from the Medical Museum, with the points marked with a blue pencil where the ball struck, where it shattered the rib, and where it.entered and made its exit from the spinal column. THe Senate Cavcuses.—The democratic Senators will meet in conference at the Capitol, Friday afternoon, in response toa written invita- tion of the caucus chairman, Mr. Pendleton. It is believed that they will hold their regular caucus at 10 a.m. next Saturday, the same hour as the republicans, with the view of bringing both parties together in an agreement for the organization of the Senate. ALASKA WANTS A TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT. Under date of September 8th Commander Lull commanding the Wachusetts at Sitka, reports to the department that all is quiet in the territory of Alaska. Nothing but theabsolute pro- hibition of the sale of molasses and cheap sugar, from which the natives manufacture the vile rum in use by them, will prevent the broils and fighting amongst themselvesthat every now and then break out in different parts of the country. Small disturbances among the Indians at diffe ent points in the territory have been adjusted. A convention was held at Rockwell August 16, at which an urgent appeal was made to the President of United States and to Congress to establish a civil government for the territary An election was held on the Sth in- stant to choose a delegate to present the reso- lutions at _the next session of Congress. Ex- Collector Ball was chosen as delegate. Tue FoLtow1Nne Promotions have been made in the Patent Office after competitive examina- tion:—Second Assistant Examiner Eugene B. Clark, to be first assistant examiner, vice T. C. Brech signed; Third Assistant Examiner Geo. F. Wingate, to be second assistant examiver, vice Henry L. Smith, resigned; Third Assistant Examiner Paul Arnold, to be second assistant examiner, vice Eugene B. Clark promoted; Thomas G. Steward, of Kendall, Ill., to be ap- pointed third assistant examiner, vice Wingate, promoted, and Miss Amelia Tyler, of Nebraska, to be appointed third assistant examiner, vice Arnold promoted. AN ESVEXTION TO DETERMINE THE SPEED OF Vesseis.—Ensign U. 8. Hogg, U.S. N., son of the chief clerk of the Navy department, has de- vised an invention to readily and accurately de- termine the speed of a vessel moving through the water regardless of the time, position of the vessel or condition of the water. This is effected by means of a device for creating a vacuum in a pipe extending to such a distance from the ves- sel as to be outside of the body of water affected by the vessel's movements, ye® communicating with an indicating device upon the vessel, 80 graduated as to show the extent of the vacuum and consequently the speed at which the vessel is moving through the water. A patent for this invention is now being applied for. It has been tried on the Alarm and reported effective. AssIsTANT SECRETARY OF THE TREASTRY Urrox will not, it is stated, enter any proceed- ings against the Sunday Gazette for the publica- tion made by that paper, and referred to in THE Star last night. The statement published by that paper, his friends eay, is wholly incorrect. The chief charge against Mr. Upton contained in it is that he ovér-rode a decision of the first controller in a McEwen Indian claim for 000, and “whacked up” with the party in- terested. There has been no such claim before the department, it is asserted. The Assistant Secretary nor any one else could over-ride the first controller, even if such a claim had been passed upon by him. The decision of the latter officer is fixed by statute as final, and subject to nobody's revision. Jumrep Tnei Bars..—Information has been received by Commissioner Raum that W. H. Winstead and N. N. Tuck, of Greenville, South Carolina, who are under charge for violating the internal revenue laws, have jumped their bail. Both of them are prominent citizens of the dis- trict in which they have resided. Both were formerly officers of the internal revenue service. Tuck is sheriff of Person county. A short time ago the attorneys for them called upon Commis- sioner Raum and tried to arrange a compromise in the suits pending. The Commissioner told them that he would compromise the suits if the defendants would pay $8,000 each and all costs and then plead guilty. There was, thus. not much satisfaction to be gotten out of the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue. Finding the law swooping down upon them, they have fied and forteited their bail. Commissioner Raum to-day authorized the offering of a reward of $250 each for the arrest and delivery to the U.S. marshal of Winstead and Tuck. Tue Larcest Day's SaLe Ever Mabe or Revenve Stamps.—Returns made up in the internal revenue bureau to-day show that a larger number of stamps were issued yesterday than on any day previous in the history of the government. There were sent out yesterday 489 packages of internal revenue stamps, filling 125 mail pouches. The total number of these stamps is 13,229,201, representing a face value of $2,894,247.30. Most of these stamps were for use in the tobacco trade. The present boom is attributed to the fact that the tobacco crop of this year Is short, and there is a probability of acorner in it being attempted. All whole- sale dealers want to have their goods properly stamped in case the corner shall develop. Tue Wurre Hovse.—Eugene, of President Arthur’s household, was at the White House to- day. Ail of the employés there remain on duty in anticipation of any orders that the President may give. This a.ternoon Mr. Brown went to Senator Jones’ residence to pay his respects to President Arthur. There is no public business whatever transacted at the White House now. Mr. O. L. Pruden, assistant secretary to the President, is at home sick with malaria.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES. Further Proceedings To-day. BAIL GIVEN BY THE DEFENDANTS. There was quite a large attendance in the Criminal Court room this morning, prior to Judge Cox taking his seat on the bench, in an- ticipation of some interesting proceedings in the case of Gen. Thomas J. Brady, J, L. French, W. H. Turner and 8. P. Brown, charged with conspiracy in connec— tion with the star route cases, under in- formation filed on Friday last. All the parties charged were present, except Mr. McDonough, who is out west. Col. Cook and Col. Corkhill represented the overnment, and Messrs. Shellabarger & Wilson, Enoch Totten, and Mr. Chandler, of Mo., repre- senting the accused. Immediately after the opening of the court, Judge Cox said:—“‘In re- gard to the auestion of bailin the star route cases, in which an information was filed the other day, I have this to say: Ihave only been able to give a cursory glance at the information, but under all the circumstances I have concluded that except in the cases of Frencn and Turner, thetwo clerks, $7,500 each will besufficient bail, and in the cases of the two gentlemen I have named, $4,000 each. While I think that these amounts are sufficient, I am stillopen to any suggestion that counsel may desire to make.” Colonel Totten said: ‘If your honor please; I believe the gentlemen are all present and ready to give bail; but before that is done I desire to invite the attention of the court to one cireum- stance, and that is this: This paper, which I be- lieve is called an information, was filed here without any notice and without any order quasi; and, as I have been informed—how accu- rate my informationis of course I do not know— but I was informed that the court stated that it should be filed under the circumstances stated gentlemen applying to the court at the time, subject to. ail the exceptions and objec- tions which might be taken to it. Now, we un- derstand from that that we are to have the same privilege of making objections now that we would have had had an order quasi beenentered and we were brought in at the time the applica- tion was made and resisted it. If we are not right in that we would like to know it, for we do not wish to waive any right that we may have in the matter by giving bond here.” The Court.—‘*The motion you desire to make is to quash the information?” Col. Totten.—‘‘I will not say what the motion is we desire to make. We may move to quash the information at some time, but before that is done we may make some preliminary motions looking to the infirmities inside of the paper itself. Then there may be a great many outside of it. For this reason we desire to have an op- portunity of bringing all the objections to this peculiar and extraordinary practice to the atten- tion of the court at the proper time and in the proper way.” The Court.—“You will have that opportunity. The giving of bond will not amount to a waiver.” Col. Totten.—‘‘We will give thesecurity. Imay state while I am up that we will not be ready to file the motion this morning or to-morrow morning; but we will give your honor and the gentlemen on the other side due notice of it.” Col. Cook.—“In order that there may not be any misapprehension and that the practice may conform to the strict rules of the court, I desire to say in connection with the suggestion made District Attorney Corkhill a day or two since that it would be well to have it understeod that at least two days notice be given to the counsel representing the zovernment before any motion in these case is heard.” Col. Totten.—‘Let me inquire right here, for 1 am a little blind on this subject. I saw it stated in the papers, and I get most of my infor- mation in regard to the star routes from the newspapers; they are very generous on the sub- ject—that two days notice should be given of the filing ofa motion. I would like to know by what authority we are required to give two days notice of the filing of a motion? I can come into this court and file a motion any time.” The Court.—‘‘A written motion does not re- quire a notice.” Col. Totten.—“ We are required to give oppos- ing counsel notice of when and what we intend to do in the way of ling a motion, so that they may have an oppc y of resisting it, but we can file our motion at any time we may desire. The gentlemen on the other side shall not have any trouble about notices. We will give them three days’ notice if necessary.” The Court. Counsel for the defendants are prepared to give notice when the paper shall be filed.” Col. Cook.—I desire to have fall opportunity to prepare when it is filed. 1 desire to be noti- fied of the fact that a paper is filed, and that it shall be called up for b if at some period after it is filed. Is that distinct enough for the gentleman?” Col. Totten.—‘It may be to you, but it is not to me.” Col. Cook.—‘I had been accustomed to think that you were somewhat cloudy in intellect.” Col. Totte: Tam when you are talking.” Mr. Tott “If your honor please, we offer as security for Mr. Brady, Messrs. John F. Olmstead, Nathan W.Fitzgerald, Lewis Clephane and A. L. Roach.” The Court.—“I have no doubt of the respon- y of the gentlem ou have named. Ido not know whether the attorneys for the prose- cution desire to have them justified or not.” have not any doubt about the responsibility of the parties named myself, and yet I should prefer that there should be a regu- lar justification, because property is very fluctuating in this country.” Mr. Totten.—“My brother Cook is disposed to be technical about this. I would like to know where he gets the authority to require the court to verify its discretion in the taking of a bond by what he calls ‘justification.’ There is no such thing known to our practice. If your honor is satisfied that any one of these bonds- men is good for $7,500 that is all that is neces- sary. The discretion is lodged in your honor and not in brother Cook, who represents the broad United States of America.” Mr. Cook.—“I have not required the court to do anything, and would not require my brother Totten todo anything, because he might not be Gat ey to obey my commands.” Mr. Totten.—‘I would not be willing to.” Mr. Cook.—‘I submit the question to the court.” The Court.. y be re Mr. Cool ery well.” The sureties then came forward and were sworn by the clerk Mr. Wilson.—‘We offer as_ surety for Mi Turner, Dr. J. T. Johnson and Mr. Pumphrey The Court.—“I am not personally acquainted with these gentlemen, and will haye to ask them to be sworn.” The parties named were then sworn and ex- amined by the court and accepted as bail. Mr. Wilson.—“‘If your honor please we will offer Mr. Brainard H. Warner and W. B. Williams as sureties on behalf of Mr. French.” The Court. ‘They are good enough.’ Mr. Totten.—‘“I will state that Mr. Brown is not in court at the present time, but I suppose that his bail may be taken at any time during the day when he may come in.” Mr. Cook.—‘‘Certainly.” The Court.—“Yes, that can be done.” Mr. Mills Dean afterwards appeared as surety for Mr. Brown, and was accepted. Messrs. Olmstead, Fitzgerald and Clephane, were then taken as sureties on Mr. Brady’s bond in 7,500; Dr. J. Tabor Johnson, on Mr. Turner's bond in $4,000; Messrs. B. H. Warner and W. B. Williams, on Mr. French’s bond for $4,000. Mr. Miils Dean qualified as surety on the bond of Mr. 8. P. Brown for $7,500. Gurreav’s Interview with His BRoTHER-IN- Law.—Mr. Scoville, Guiteau’s brother-in-law, visited him yesterday, spending some time with him in the warden’s officeat the jail.

Thus far everything is very quiet and harmon- fous, though the half-breeds control the conven- tion. Mr. Conkling is not in the convention nor in the city. Mr. Platt is in attendance, and sald he regretted the absence of Mr. Conkling, but declined to give any reason for his not being here. The announcement in The Sun to-day that the attempt to combine Messrs. Blaine and Conkling in the Cabinet had failed, is believed here by well posted politicians to be true. Mr. Blaine. it is said, positively refuses to remain, not on the ground that he is unwilling to serve with Mr. Conkling; but he is not willing to take any step that will bring him into any sort of an alliance with Grant. It is doubtful if New York hasany representation in the Cabinet, for mo tender of a place will be made to Levi P. Morton or ex-Goy- ernor Morgan.

GOOD FEELING AMONG THE DELEGATES—PRE- LIMINARY MEETING OF THE STATE COMMIT- TRE. New York, October 5.—The members of the republican state committee met early atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel, and there was a large throng of delegates to the convention in attendance,and not & few prominent democrats. The commttee form- ally assembled soon after9 o'clock. The press was excluded, but a number of non-members man- aged to press their wayin. Chairman Platt con- ducted the proceedings. Upon motion of Gen. Sharpe, Frank Hiscock, of Syracuse, was agreed upon as temporary chairman of the convention. The selection seemed to give general satisfaction. A good feeling seems to prevatl among the dele- gates. THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. The convention was called to order at 11:15 a. m. by ex-Senator T. C. Platt. The Academy of Music was crowded, delegates from all parts of the state being present. The Academy was completely filled, from the auditorium to the sky gallery. There were sey- eral hundred iadies in the mezzanine, proscen- um and artist’s boxes. _It is estimated that not Jess than 4,000 people are in the Academy. ‘After the prayer the roll of delegates was called. On the call of Mr. Platt’s name as a del- egate there was immense cheering. The name of C. M. Depew, of the other side, was called a few minutes afterwards and was received with tremendous cheers. When Speaker Sharpe proposed the Hon. Frank- Hiscock for temporary chairman his speech was coldly received. Mr. Hiscock, with considerable warmth declined. Theo. M. Pomeroy, from Ca- yuga then proposed that as Mr. Hiscock’s name had been proposed against his wishes that Sena- tor Warner Miller te named as temporary chair- man. On this, amid great cheering, the ayes and noes were ordered. During the calling of the roll of delegates, no- tices were given of contested seats in Albany county, Ist district; — county, 2d, 5th and 12th districts; New York county, 15th, 17th and 18th districts; Oswego county, Ist district; Oneida county, Ist, 2d and 3d districts. WARNER MILLER TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. The total vote for temporary chatrman was 488, 298 votes being cast for Warner Miller and 190 votes for Hiscock, Miller's majority being 108. aus announcement was received with long ap- plause. Senator Miller was introduced to the conven- tion by ex-Senator Platt as its temporary chair- man. He said, on taking the chair, That t he dele- gates met to-day as a band of mourners, and proceeded to eulogize President Garfield. “Whilst we mourn his untimely taking off, we should bring a united and harmonious support to him who has ‘succeeded our 1 illustrious chief.” THREE CHEERS FOR PRESIDENT ARTHUR. Senator Madden here proposed three cheers for President Arthur, which were given. The convention has adjourned until 7:30 p. m. a Massachusetts Democrats, MEETING OF THE STATE CONVENTION.
