Gen. Butter talks in a very aggressive way of the west for one whois supposed to have the prest- dential bee In his bonnet. At a Massachusetts fair yesterday he took issue with Greeley’s famous advice, and counseled young men not to go west. Life on the border he pictured in a strain worthy of Martin Chuzzlewit, as follows: “Go out into the wilds of the west, you young man; tale outa young woman whom you love as your eyes; put her in a log hut for ten years, with the rains of heaven coming in whenever they will, and a good chance that it will be blown away by a cyclone in the hot season; live there for ten years, and you may get quite a fortune; but you come at last to ve—where?

THE DISTRICT QUOTA NEARLY FULT. Tue following appointments under the civil ser- vice rules were made in the Treasury department to-day: Cassius H. Clay, D. C., $1,000 class, 4th auditor's office; Jas, R O'Neale, D. C., and Win. H. Haynes, D. C., $900 class, internal revenue; Jas. B. Peake, D. C., and Miss Marian Pyles, Vt, Class, Secretary's oMce. The appointment or C. H. Clay to a $1,000 clerkship In the 4th auditor's Office is the first Instance of an appointment to any class but the lowest existing in any of the departments since the clvil service rules were en- forced. The appointment of four men from the District. gf Columbia nearly cominietes the quota allowed to the District in the Treasury depart- ment, as only two additional appointments can be made from the District, The following appointments were also made to- day: Wilfred Aitkenhead, Wm. Kricheld, F. P. Wood and Samuel C. Hoimes laborers, and Thos. R. Veheable watchman, Secretary’s office. Promotions in the department have been made as follows: Sixth auditor's offlce—Win.

WHAT GENERAL BENET SAYS ABOUT THEIK LEGAL STATUS—THE TWO MAIN POINTS IN THE CASE. “Wnhat action will be taken In reference to the letter of the District Commissioners asking thi the legal status of tho District militia be destined?” asked a Srar reporter of Gen. Benet this morning. “Well, { can’t tell,” was the reply, “for I have not yet given the matter serious attention. Next ‘week I will take it up and dispose of it, This let- ter was, without doubt, the result of a conversa- tion of one of the Commissioners wifh myself,” continued Gen. Benet, “and in making the custoi ary requisition for arms they very properly take advantage of the opnortunity to ask that the sta- tus of the District miiitia and their relation to it be fixed. ‘There are two main points to be di cided in this matter: First, the Comulsstone recognize that they have nothing to do with the mnliitia, yet, in issuing arm,eithe department only recognizes ‘the highest authority of the state or territory, the governor, but in the District of Co- umbia the Commisstoners. The Commissioners only make the requisition, therefore, a5 a matter of custom and conventence, and It ts very natural that they should want to have the District miittta legal'y organized. In the second place, there 1s an important question ratsed, which I should like to see settled—namely, whether tne supply of arms for the District, should come out of the annual $200,000 appropriation for the whole body of the | militia, a8 provided for in section 1661 Revised Statutes, or whether ‘all arms for the territories and for the District of Columbia shall be annually distributed in such quantitles, and uaier such reg- ulations, as the President. may prescribe.’ (Sec. tion 1667 R. 8.) It 1s claimed, you know, that the territories wero excepted from the laws governing the amount of arms distributed to state miliila, as the territories were on the dangerous fron- tier, and for this reason the atnount of arms was not limited, but left to the discretion of the Prest= dent. AsTsaid, I shall take up the matter next Week, Dut I have no tdea what action I shail t I will, of course, refer the communication to the Secretary of War, with such recummendativn as I shall decide upon.” ———— The Charge Against Trustee L. Saunders, BIS ANSWER TO THE SAME. In answer to the petition and affidavit of Mrs. Mary M. Baldwin, filed in the Equity Court, Judgo dames, yesterday by Randall Hagner, attorney, to show cause why the dismissal of an equity cause in which she ts complainant and L. M. Saunders 1s trustee, and others are defendants, should not be set as'de, Mr. Saunders repiles as follows: He says that on or about the 1st of July last a scheme was concocted on the part of two of the children of said Mary Baldwin to get Peas of her property, to the wrong and pre- judice of her other children, and to that end they Induced this old lady, now more than cighty Feats of age, to lease her old home, where she had ved more than fifty years, and kept her shut ap for a space of several week’ and would not permit her to return. and during said period they took into their confidence Randall Hagner, an attorney of this city, and as a result of their joint efforts a Dill was filed against Saunders, truatee, and five of her children, praying that the property held in trust be transferred in fee to her, but sald Dill contained ro charges of wrong-doing on the part of the trustee. Not long after the Ming of sald biil she escaped from the house where she had Deen confined and returned to her own home, making most serious charges against her * son-in-law and daughter on account of the bad treatment’ she had received, and also complained that she had Leen misinformed by the consulting attorn Mr. Saunders says that he had not seen Mra. B. trom the time she was taken from her home until a few Unsolicited, In company with her daughter, with whom she had lived for twenty-five years, bring- Dill referred to, Sho signed without one word from him, and her acknowledgment was taken by Jus- tice’A. 8. Taylor. She also signed a letter to M Hagner a day or so thereafter at her own hom: and directed hiin to dismiss said Dill, which letter wa forwarded to Mr. H. Mr. Saunders says that two or three of her children protest against. his giving up his trusteesuip, and express the fear, 1? itis done, that they will be deprived of their Just share of their mother’s estate. Mr. S. says that all the statements contained In said publisited am- davit charging him with wrongdoinz in connec- tion with ils trust are wholly false anid malicious. pa as District Government Affairs, ENOUGH AS GOOD AS A FEAST. A petition has been received by the Commis: sloners from a number of worthy citizens and property holders on 43 street southwest, between Cand D streets, praying for the non-granting of a liquor license’ for a Saloon or restaurant on the squire named, ‘as another institution in connec- ton with the ‘four others already established on this square would be detrimental to our respective Dustness interests..” ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CORONER. Coroner D. C, Patterson has made hts annual re- port to the District Commissioners for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1883, showing 18 deaths by Sulcide; 7 homicides; total infanticides, 6; total by accident and neglect, 62; total by disease, 387; and still births, 40; making 620 of all cases certi- flea by the coroner. Whole number of white deaths, 146, equal to 8 per cent; whole number of colored deaths, 372, equal to 71.5" per cent, accord- ing to population. ‘THE TAX SALES: are drawing to a clos, and the collector wl! order a halt to-morrow. Under the law, the collector of taxes “shall within ten days after every such sale transmit to the recorder of deeds un accurate re- port in writing, duly certied, containing a par- Ucular description of the property. sold, ‘te amount of taxes for the raising of which It has been 801d, the names and residences of the person or person’ to whom such property belongs or to whom such taxes have been assessed, and of the purchasers and the amount of the purchase mnney, which report it shall be the duty of the recorder forthwith to record among the land records of the District, and the expense thereof shall be paid by the party who redcems the same.” Collector Cook states that persons whose property has been sold have sill an opportunity to save te costs of such record by coming up and paying arrearages, He proposes to extend this last chance to them of saving this expense. Afler that Ume they must take the consequences. THR BOUNDARY STREET SEWER. ‘The Commissioners having suspended Mr. B. J. Coyle, contrictor for constructing the fourth sec- ton of the Boundary street sewer, and called upon his bondsmen to execute the saine, the latter have | continued Mr. Coyle upon the work, wiieh is still progressing under the inspection of Mr. C. ¥.

Howard and others, that a portion of Potomac street may be paved with Belzium block. Dr. W. W. Godding reports that there have been twenty-seven admissions to the Insane asylum by order of the District Commissioners during the month of September, and twenty-one distalssais. An anonymous writer to the Commissioners states: “You accomplished a good thing when you removed the sign boards from around the trees on Pennsylvantaavenue. I would respectfully cull your attention to the customers of some of our Merchants feeding their horses in front of their Places of business on Pennsylvania avenue. This ‘will do very well in a country village,but does not look well for the capital of the nation.” Mr. Henry H. ‘wood, In a note to the Com- missioners, complains that hydrant on square in which houses 1804 and 1906 are sijuated is inadam- aged condition. a COURTESIES TO THE VisiTiIna KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
