THE Prorosep VingixiA Dent CoMPRO- MISE.—The compromise proposed by the foreign bondholders to the Virginia authorities, it is said, need not, if accepted, increase the rate of taxation, The counsel for the bondholders claims that “the revenues of the state, at the present rate of taxation (forty cents on the hun- dred dollars), would pay the interest on the debt as thus So promed. leave the appropria- tions for the public schools just what they now are, leave the expenses of the state goveramen just what they now are, and leave a consider- able surplus over. This surplus is sufficient to pay the interest on the rest of the debt as funded under the Riddleberger bill, and this statement does not take into consideration the large increase in tuxable values which thé as- sessment now going on will show, and which will be the basis of the next year's revenues.” Mr. Royall, counsel for the bondholders, will oppose the motion of Attorney General Garland be:ore the United States Supreme Court for a reopening of the eases recently decided against the state.

MoRGAN AND HIS BLAINE PAMPRLET.— Mr. Morgan, recently appointed U.8. consul at Melbourne, was married in New York Tues- ay, and expects to sail next week from San Francisco for his destiiation. Since his ci n was made out and delivered to him, fact was developed that the pamphlet written Morgan, and of which so much complaint fas made, appeared after the nominatlon of Blaine for the presidency.

Maiden, re- signed; Cold Spring, Carroll county, Rebecea J. Hunks, vice E. W.

The salary of the postmaster at Dutchman's Branch last year was Eosurat Grant, $44.42, and at Cold’ Bpring, $10.82. As most of the’ offices are Yoeated a Stores, the positions are of value not only for the higher social standing the person invested with the dignity of postmaster, but for the in- creased trade of the store. Yesterpay's RuMox Anovr THE TRANSFER or Army HEADRUARTERS.—THE Srar did not state yesterday that there was any probability of a removal of army headquarters to Chicago, but in mentioning a floating ‘rumor of such change; published what was within the rani of possibilities. A law was passed in 1867 ing the headquarters of the army permanently at Washington, but in 1870 that was repealed, G,_0. 92, 1870, section 15. Accordingly, in 1874, atthe request of Gen.

The papers to-day haves special from New Orleans which says that inan interview just Published there Senator J. B, Eustis denounced President Cleveland and his cabinet and de- clared that he will fight in the Senate the policy now being pursued by Cleveland. “Mr. Cleve- land,” said the Senator, “has been a conspicu- ous and humilfating failure. This administra- tion was commenced with a series of blunders, The question now is whether these mistakes, Potent to the whole country, are mistakesof the ead or the result of evil promptings and treach- erous conduct to the party whose principles he claims to represent, “The fact that a horde of unscrupulous, ignorant, dyed-in-the-wool and offensive radical leaders are permitted to re- main in office all over the country under demo- cratic rule 1s a shame and disgrace. The whole trath of the matter is that Mr. Cleveland is to- tally lacking in information respecting thecon- dition of affairs in the south and west, and 1s reliant entirely on the feverish advice of couple of mugwump newspapers in New Yor! Ssignorant ashe regarding these importan| sections. Ittsnow uo longer a matter of the distribution of offices and government patron- age, but a question of party principle, and the democratic element will see to it that the ad- ministration Is democratic in the full signif ance of the term, or that Mr, Cleveland and his cabinet shall fall and be buried in the ruins they have made,” This declaration of war against the admin- {stration on the part of Senator Eustis is the outgrowth of the failure of himself and the democratic faction he represents to control the federal patronage of Louisiana. Senator Eustis Is identified with what is called by its ‘opponents the “ring democracy” of Loulsiana, This faction is dominated by the state officers, and for @ long time it had almost absolute political sway “in Louisiana. Within the last few years a pretty ‘strong democratie opppst- tion to the ruling ‘element has grown up, in- cluding some of the most prominent demo- erats of the state. Soon ufter the inauguration of President Cleveland the federal patronage of the state was claimed for the dominant faction, but this claim was not undisputed, The “bosses” particularly wanted to control the cus- tom-house and its ‘patronage. By those who were notof the machine faction ex-Senator Jonas was recommended for collector of the port as a man of high character, admitted ubllity, and who would conduct the office upon a higher pi: aan mere partisan necessity might dictate. Senator Eustis and his co- laborers particularly objected to Mr. Jonas, but the latter was heartily endorsed by neat the leading business men of New Orie: Senator Gibson and other party Finally, when it was quite well known t appointment of ex-Senator Jonas had been de- termined upon Senator Eustis went home. The ruling faction seemed to regard the control of federal patronage In the state as necessary to their continued ascendaney,as the opposition has been steadily increasing. Senator Eu tis Was first chosen by the democrats in 1872 as -S. Senator, but a contest arose with W. P. Kellogg for te seat and he was not admitted until 1877. He was a candidate tor re-election, but Mr. Jobas was chosen by the legislature. Mr. Eustis succeeded last year in defeating Sen- ator Jona jor the current term. Ano.aer fact in connection with the political situation In Loulsiana whieli Is sald to have in- finenced Senator Eustis is this. Itscems that the legislature to be elected next _vear will choove successors to both Senators Gibson and Eustis. This comes about under the new consti- tution, whieh provides for the election of a legis- lature’ every four years. So that Mr. Eustis gearcely enters upon is senatorial term when he has to begin looking after his succession. Louisiana democrats say that he fears the can: didacy of ex-Senator Jonas, who was only beaten by a single vote in the last contest, and hence Eustis objects to Jonas being placed In a position of power. ‘The Eustis Interview was a general theme of comment in political circles to-day. The general expression was that the Senaior had made a mistake. Eustis 1s a fool,” sald a Loulsiana democrat of prominence. “The truth is that he stands alone in the congressional delegation. ‘The en- tire delegation except Eustis represent the re- form democracy of Louisiana, ‘They represent the best elements of the state. The President is Aretormer, and he chooses tosustain the pro- gressive and reform wing of the party.” - ee The Transit Must be Protected. SECRETARY WITNEY’S INSTRUCTIONS TO ADMI- RAL JOUETT.

Ida Henderson was standing at the door, and Coates and Bertha Smith went up stairs, Ida saying to her she would be up in a little while, In about ten minutes Ida started up stairs, when Coates, hearing her coming, got up and shut the door, and told her she could not come in; but subsequently Coates let her in, but pushing her back pulled qut his pistol an shot her, the ball entering her right temple, and that she'died in a few minutes. “If they showed this they couid find a verdict of murder.

THE HANDSOME NEW STRUCTURE TO BE ERECT- ED IN THE WEST END—A MEETING OF THE CONTRIBUTORS AND OTHERS LAST EVENING. Quite a number of contributors to the new Church of the Covenant, and many others who are interested in the project, assembled in the lecture-room of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church last evening toexainine the plans of the new church, chapel, to hear a report of progress from the building committee and to hold # friendly consultation upon the matter, Among those present were Dr. Bartlett, | pastor of the New York Avenue church; Justice Strong, Wm. Ballantyne, J. E, Fitch,H. H.Wells, Mr. Waller, Wm, M. Galt, M. W. Galt and Mr. Decble, and many ladies.’ Justice Strong made @ few remarks, stating the object of the meet- ing and the reasons which led to the under- taking. A new church In the western part of the city, he said. had been talked of for seven years.» Duri Mitchell's time the project was discussed, and received the approval of the pastor, as a new church was long-felt want. The present edifice was too small to uc- commodate’ all who desired gcats, and the necessity’ 20 increased that a cou- le of years azo it was decided Mmakes move. The location selected for the new edifice Is at the intersectton of Connecticut avenue and N und 18th streets, one of the most desirable sites In the city. There is no place of worship in that section of the elty, and the pro- moters of the enterprise could not follow the usual custom in starting new churches in cities, of holding Sunday school or prenching services a8a beginning, but bad only thelr own energy and the gencrous assistance of those Interested in the project to rely upon. More than 200, perhaps 250, Presbyterians have already sub- scribed liberally, without any hostility toward the churches in’ which they have been accus- fomed to worship, or without any spilt or dix content of any kind. Itis expected that the chapel will be completed thissummer,and that services and Sunday school ean be held in the fall. ‘The main room of the chapel will hold 800 people, while the rooms opening Into It will Seat 100 more. Mr. Ballantyne and others spoke on the subject, the plans of the new edifice Were exumined and general interest manifested. The building committee of the new church consists of Win, Ballantyne (chairman), James ¥. Fiteh, M. W. Gult, Justice Strong, Gardner G. Hubvard, Wim. M, Galt, Wm. Thompson, Reginald Fendali, C. B, Jewell and B. H. Ware ner, The architect Is J. C. Cady, of New’ York, It is expected that the hew church will cost In the neighborhood of $100,000. Over half the amount necessary has already been subscribed. Among those who contributed are Justice trong and Gardner G. Hubbard, $5,000 each; M. W. Galt, C. B. Jewell, Wm. M. ‘Gait, Jame G. Blaine and Justice Staniey Maithews. $2,500 each, Wm_Ballantyne,B.H. Warner, Otis Bigelow, Gen. McKee Dunn, Senator Don Caineron, ex: Senator Yulee and Win.
