Pants, Feb. 28, 1876. M. Casimir-Porier, at the meeting of the Left Centre, stated that the reason he had not yet accepted the Min- istry of the Interior was because he thought that all who had associated themselves with the policy of M. Buffet should leave the Cabinet, which should be almost entirely remodelled. He referred particularly to Messrs. Montaignac de Chauvance and Wallon. He said, however, that ‘‘M. Dufaure bad not finally settled with President MacMahon what course would be taken on the meeting of the Chambers.” POLITICAL SPECULATION BUT NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Goschen drew attention to the circumstances con- nected with the destruction of the iron-clad Vanguard. He censured tho Admiralty for its action in reversing the finding of the court martial, and moved fora minute showing the steps taken by the Admiralty in reference to the loss of the Vanguard. Mr. Hunt, First Lord of the Admiralty, defended the conduct complained of He said naval colleagues unanimously concurred with him in dissenting from the conclusions of the court martial as to the persons responsible for the loss of the ship. He recounted the circumstances of tho collision inj order to prove the correctness of this view. Mr. Disraeli suggested that a definite motion on the subject could be submitted on a future occasion. Mr. Goschen’s motion was then agreed to, THE GRAIN TRADE AND BREADSTUFFS SUPPLY. Lonpox, Feb, 28, 1876. The Mark Lane Erpress this evening, in its weekly review of the corn trade, has the following :— The grain trade for the week has been dull and unin- teresting, The imports have been moderate, Al- though it is donbtful whether the stocks on hand are as large as have been imagined, the warchouses are probably fainly filled, notwithstanding the steady de, pletion which has been im progress since the end of 1875. We are now approaching a period of critical im_ portance regarding supplies, The large fleet from Southeastern Europe, which has recently been an incu- bus on the trade, has been almost cleared up, and the stoppage of shipments from ico-bound ports mast greatly reduce supplies. Add to this the diminution of farmers’ stock, and we can reasonably conclude that the plethora will shortly be over, A feature of the grain trade now {s that our near con- tinental neighbors are not so well supplied, and a re- laxation of rates here would lead to an inquiry from there. Altogether the trade seems healthy, subject only to the contingencies of more than usually open weather and increased supplies, which now seem im- probable, AUSTRIA.

The Attorney General’s Ex- planation to the House. EVASIVE AND UNSATISFACTORY RESPONSE. Machination of the Whiskey Ring for the Removal of Mr. Dyer. HISTORY OF THE EMMA MINE. Prominent Politicians Implicated in the Speculation. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasninator, Feb, 28, 1876, THE ‘XEXPLANATION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL PIERREPONT TO THE HOUSE—THE PECUNIARY RESULTS OF THE WHISKEY TRIALS. The answer of Attorney Genera! Pierrepont to the resolution of the House demanding by what authority and for what purpose he wrote his letter to the district attorneys discouraging witnesses, did not sat- isfy the House, for members in conversa- tion openly declared it to be tricky and evasive, and on its reception both Mr. Scott Lord and Mr, Randall in their places declared it un- satisfactory, It has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, which will give Mr. Pierrepont somo trouble before it is done with him. One member of Congress remarked :— “The Attorney General really gave more intormation to the Heratp than he has to the House, and he did not tell the Heraup anything either.’” Tho House wanted to know where in the laws he got authority to interfere in these matters at all, and ap- parently Mr. Pierrepont has not been able to find in the Revised Statutes the warrant he would like, As to the Teasons—good and lawful reasons such as he ought to havo for sucha letter—he does not produce them, and it is not probable that he can. The only ex- cuse he could have for interfering would be that the Treasury Department was neglecting the regular and lawful course of justice, Nobody believes this to be trae. There are many lawyers in the House familiar with revenue legislation and these laugh scornfully at Mr. Pierrepont’s plea that his letter was merely in confirmation and approval of arrange- ments made to use the testimony of accom- plices, ‘They say that tho laws expressly disable him from such interference, and add thas, in ‘any case, his letter, which was everywhere understood to discourage witnesses, was on the wrong side and calculated to provent, and not to further, justice. “1 am determined,”’ said Mr, Pierrepont, although the laws gave him entire control of the matter, “to have these prosecutions so conducted that the honest judgment of the country will be that no one has been maliciously prosecuted; that no one has escaped through favoritism or partiality, and that no guilty person who has been convicted or has confessed his guilt was left unpunished.” The following is the text of the Attorney Goneral’s letter :— DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Wasmincron, D. C., Feb, 28, 1876, To rx Honorav.e tae Hovsk or Reressentatives:— Tam in receipt of the following resolution of the House, namely :— . Fearvary, 21, 1876, On motion of Mr. Lord. Resolved, That the Attorney Genoral be reqtiested to inform the House by what authority and for what pur- pose ho recently gave instructions to his subordinates, alleged to be in contravention of the long established rule relating to the testimony of accomplices in crimi- nal actions, To which, in reply, I bave tho honor to suggest that the resolution must have been introduced under mis- apprehension. No instructions have been given by the Attorney General to his subordinates in contravention of any rule relating to the testimony of accomplices in criminal actions and no instructions that had avy such purpose or intent, nor any instructions to which any such purpose could be fairly attributed. Tho only specitic instructions which have been given on tho sub- ject are those in certain districts whore whiskey frauds are being prosecuted, and these are merely inconfirma- tion and approval of arrangements made to use the testimony of accomplices. As these arrangements and instructions relate to matters in progress the House will readily see the propriety of withholding special in- formation relating thereto antil tha trials are over. Ihave the honor to add that in no instance since I have been Attorney General has there been a proposi- tion of any subordinate of mino relating to the testi- mony of accomplices in criminal actions which has not met my prompt and cordial sanction. 1 have the honor to reman yours, very obediently, EDWARDS PIERREPONT, Attorney General. Several Congressmen interested in the New Hamp- shire election have obtained from the Internal Revenue Borecau an account of the net results to the Treasury and the cause of justice of the whiskey trials so far, Tho facts are extremely significant. ‘The value of property seized is....... $1,530,724 Assessments for producing illicit spirits. 1,500,571 Amount of suits on gangers’ bonds... 244,000 Total .....eesseseres esvevvensy 365, 205 ‘The value of property seized is based upon actual ex- periment by persons appointed by the courts, and tho assessments are based upon documentary evidence of the” amount of illicit spirits produced. No estimate of production was made the basis of assessment, as it was deemed best to be able to sustain the suits upon distillers’ bonds by actual proofs. The above statement does not include suits for large sams brought against rectifiers to recover penalty for handling illicit epirits, as it 1s doabtful whether the government wiil recover any considerable sums, as rectifiers give no bonds and generally manage to have their property enenmbered. The amounts already covered into the Treasury on the 3ist of January, 1876, were From sales of property forfeited... + $58,812 From assessments cotlectou by distraint « 123,690 From fines and penalties: « 13,000 Cities brads dicoes tvsthaeteaes denkusdvcny NOE The small amount covered into the Treasury is due to the slow process of litigation. Large sume are known to have been realized in February, but no re. turns have yet been received from marshals, In many other cases judgments of forfelture have been had, and the sales are to follow legal advertisements, In the cases of suits on bonds the suroties in most cases have no defence, as their princi- pals have plead guilty to criminal indictments founded upon the same evidence that will be used to sustain the civil suit. It is estimated that at the conclusion of the spring terms of the Court at St Louis, Evansville, Chicago and Milwaukee, at least $1,000,000 will have been covered into the Treasury. It is also supposed that the courts will inflict heavy fines in sentencing the forty distillers and rectifiers who have already plead guilty. Indictments have been found against 253 per. sons, classed as follows :— | Gangers and storekeepers. 8 hadi collectors at Collectors. 3) Revenue age H Supervisors. . 2 Distillers 50 64 » 10 Other persons. 4. | Of this number sixty-nine have plead guilty, viz.:— | Forty distillers and rectifiers, twenty-one officials and six distillery employés. There have been, up to date, seventecn jury trials, resulting in thirteen convictions, three acquittals and one disagreement. The effect of these prosecutions ts felt in tho in- creased receipts from the tax upon distilled spirits. It may be asserted without question that since the raids last May up to the present time there have been no illicit spirits upon the market, thus demonstrating that it is possible to collect the present tax of ninety cents per gallon, The system of accounts which has been adopted m the Internal Revenue Office now detects with certainty | any frauds perpetrated in the manner of these upon SUPPLEMENT, which the selzures were based. Every case of fraud beginning before the seizures suddenly stops on the 10th of May last, showing that the distillers were thorongbly scared by the raids which were made at that fume. Since then not a single case of fraud by the use of stamps or false gauging has been discovered and no complaints bave reached the Internal Revenue OMce from honest dealors that ilheit spirits were injuring legitimate trade, as was formerly the case. The whiskey market is so sensi- tive that two or three hundred barrels of ‘‘crooked” shipped to New York would immediately and strongly affect the price of lawful whiskey, and thus inform rev oMcers of the fraud, If the only effect of the late prosecutions was to Prevent the robbery heretofore practised they have abundantly paid the government and the country, as itis estimated that at least $2,000,000 annually was lost which now flows into the Treasury. Add to this the large sums which will ultimately be recovered from forfeited property and suits upon bonds, together with tho effect upon the morals of the whole service, and some idea can be formed of the benefits which have accrued to tho government by reason of the vigorous prosecution of the Whiskey Ring. it remains tobe seen whether the Whiskey Ring can revenge themselves upon such officers as Mr. Dyer, who have courageously, honestly and ably done their duty to the government, It ts well understood that the removal and disgrace of Mr. Dyer will mean that the whiskey thieves and their political allies rule and mean to have power to ruin every officer who does bis duty, EFFORTS FOR THS REMOVAL OF DISTRICT AT- TORNEY DYER—THE HOPES OF THE WHISKEY RING. ‘ Strong efforts are making here to procure the re- moval of District Attorney Dyer in 8t. Louis, and there is reason to fear that they may be successful. Mr, Dyer’s fearless and skilful management of the whiskoy Prosecutions has made hima great many bitter and powerful enemies, and these are combining all their forces to effect his disgraco, They are animated by a donble motive of revenge for the past and the hope of security for the future, Thohgh the whiskey trials in St, Louis are over, ex- cept one, several of the most prominent convicted persons have demanded new trials. A weak or incapa- ble person in Mr. Dyer’s place could easily resist these demands before the Court in such a manner aos to lead to their being granted; and, with an incapablo District Attorney to prosecute in the new trials, theso offenders would hope to get off. Moreover, the dis- missal of Mr. Dyer 18 expected to have a monitory and demoralizing effect. upon district attorneys and reve- nue officers in Chicago, Milwaukee and elsowhere, and the effort to disgrace the faithful and courageous man has therefore the ardent help and sympathy of the Whiskey Ring and its friends in other places pesides St. Louis. The country may as woll understand that the fight of the whiskey thieves and their political allies is not over yet. They are burning with resentment against all who have’ faithfully done their duty in the St. Louis prosecutions, and have the hope besides that if they can disgrace aman like Dyer they will discour- age prosecuting officers elsewhere, and put a mark on every faithful officer who is engaged in bringing the whiskey trands to light and prosecuting the prominent and influential politicians and others who have hada guilty share in them. Unless the press and the people make themselves heard there 1s too much reason to fear that Mr. Dyer will be disgraced, and the impor- tance of such a victory for the whiskey thieves and their political allies, and its seriousness as a blow to the cauge of justice, cannot be overestimated. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasninxaton, Feb, 28, 1876, HISTORY OF THE EMMA MINE SCHEME—TESTI- MONY OF MR. LYON BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The session of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs was taken up wholly to-day by a single witness in the investigation of the Emma Mino scandal. Ex- Governor James FE. Lyon, now of Racine, Wis., testi- fied at length, giving a history of tho transactions con- nected with the Emma Mino from the time it was dis. covered. Tho witness is a short, thick, ruddy complex- joned, good-natured looking man, with hair and whiskers slightly tinged with gray. After the Chairman of the committee (Mr. Swann) performed the coremony ot adininistering tho oath, the witness, taking a seat at one ond of the long table around which the committeo sit, commenced his story. Ho was seldom interrupted, and the committee and such reporters as happened to be present listened attentively for nearly two hours, Mr. Lyan said he was the original owner of the mine; that in 1869, while he was in New York, certain parties seized upon it and ousted him; he immediately em- ployed as counsel a Mr. Hillard, of New York, and ex-Senator William B. Stewart, and brought suit to recover; in selecting his counsel he was influenced not a little by advice of Delegate Chaffe, of Colorado, Tho arrangement with counsel was that they were to havo Give per cent on all they recovered, and if they went to Utah fifteen per cent, and twent percent it they had to carry it to final judgment before the Supreme Court here. The case was to havo come before Judge McKean at Salt Lake, but Lyon alleges that Chief Justice McKean was engaged in trying a case in bis own court when ho was Presi- dent of a company which was one of the parties to the trial; also that his two assistant Judges were interested in cases upon which they werg sitting in judgment and thatthe Marshal of the Court was interested in tho Emma Mine, Lyon alleges that ex-Senator Stewart meeting Senator Oliver P. Morton about that time, made a proposition to him that if he (Morton) wonld assist in having McKean removed and help the witnesses’ case in various ways, he would give him $20,000. Lyon says that Senator Morton agreed to the proposition, and went to Indianapolis, promising to go to Salt ‘Lake atany time and whenever his presence was needed, Soonfalter Stewart telegraphed to Morton to come imme- diately, a8 his presence was very much desired, but Mor- ton took no notice of the message, and McKean continued to hold bis position. A company was organized in Salt Lake, called the Emma Mining Company, with a capital of $10,000,000. Mr, Stewart urged witnoss to consolidate his claim with this company, as then there would be shares enough to give to the jurymen, witnesses and all parties to win, The Emma Mining Company of Salt Lake sold ont to a company in New York, organized by T. W. Park. Mr. Park soon after wont to London, and organized the Emma Mine Company of London, making a contract, however, first with Stewart, acting in bis capacity as counsel for Lyon, by which onc-third of the proceeds of sales on all shares was to be deposited with Selig- mav Brothers, of New York, to secure Lyon in case his suit was decided fn his favor. During the summer Stewart went to London also, and, it appears, was won over to the company by Park and united with him in trying to deprive Lyon of his just share, Lyon was sent for by these two and told that from the sale of stock nothing was left after paying necessary expenses, which were for placing and adver- using the shares. Park said Mr, Schenck bad re- ceived from him 600 shares for tho use of his name on the Board of Directors of the company, Park guaranteeing him £20 a share in six months, and that when Schenck wrote a letter resigning his place in the Board, giving asa reason therefore that it would afford political capital to his enemies, Park said | he wanteda better reason than that to make public, So he afterwards received a letter enlogizing in the highest terms the mine, the company and the Board ot directors, Lyon testified Park gave him an order from Schenck for 500 more shares and took his check for £2,500, the balances to bo paid in ten days; also «that Mr. Puliston, of Cooke, MeCullouh & Co., was to have £10,000 for the use of his name, but was not paid; but Jay | Cooke, MeCullouh & Co, wanted £25,000 for the use of Mr. Puliston’s name, Senator Morton is highly indignant at what Lyon has of him before the committee, and threatens to have him arrested, THE SOFT MONEY MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE EN- DEAVORING TO PRECIPITATE THE FINANCE QUESTION—A VICTORY FOR THEIR OPPONENTS. The House held only a short session to-day, the democratic leaders forcing an early adjournment to cut of the introduction of inflation or greenback resolutions, which threatened to come op as numer- ously as the party behind them. Mr. Williams, of Indiana, was the first to offer a proposition to repeal the Kesumption act, but, through misunderstanding the parliamentary process, he failed to get more than the usual reference for his resolution. Mr. Holman, the firm of Jay | whieh was copy, word for word, of the inflation resolution of the recent Indisna Republican Convention, and would, if he had been allowed, have made as much mischief and fun as did Mr. Springer with his anti-third-term resolution early 1m the session, when so many republicans dodged aud Fan out of the House, But Mr. Morrison, who ts labor- ing so hard in conjunction with Speaker Kerr in the interest ofa hard money policy as the sentiment of the House, determined to filibuster, and accordingly moved anadjourament. On this the yeas and nays were <e- manded, and when it became apparent that the motion was about to be lost a number of prominent repud- licans—among thom, it 1s said, Messrs. Biaine and Hale—turned over to the affirmative side and thus carried the motion, GENERAL BABCOCK AGAIN ON DUTY IN THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE—HIS RELATIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT. General Babcock was on duty to-day at the White ‘House, and affairs in the Executive office bad much the 400K they had before the President's secretary went to St. Lonis. As already reiterated in these columns, the relations of President Grant and General Babcock are Rot as yet defined; at least in a way to justity a state- ment of them for the public. 1% is quite probable, however, that Mr. Luckey’s resignation has been ac- cepted, and that, on leaving the White House, he will be given a clerkship in tho Patent Office. People are greatly puzzled about General Babcock's Position, and those who are curious to inquire in the vicinity of the White House are told that his rosigna- tion, which was tendered to the P’resident over a month ago, has not been definitely acted upon. THE PRESIDENT ASKS MR. LUCKEY FOR HIS RE- SIGNATION AND PROMPTLY ACCEPTS IT. It is said that the President had a personal talk with Private Secretary Luckey this morning and among oth- er things he told him that his turn would come next; that he had not money enough to carry on lawsuits with the government; that such trials would reopen the whiskey scandal and cause much trouble. Therefore, tho President advised him to resign, Mr, Luckey, it 1s further said, took the hint and at once wrote out his resignation, which was accepted. Colonel Fred. Grant delivered the nomination to-day at the Capitol, in- stead of Mr. Luckey, who did not appear at cither house, It is the understanding that Mr, Lackey is to have a piace im the Pension Office. A WESTERN TORNADO, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS’ WORTH OF PROPERTY DAMAGED AT 8ST. CHARLES, MO.—-AT PRINCETON, IND., FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS DAMAGE—NAMES OF THE INJURED. Sr, Lovis, Mo., Feb, 28, 1876, A terrible wind storm, amounting almost to a tornado, struck the northern part of St, Charles, Mo., yesterday afternoon, and, passing down Main and Second streets, demolished or badly injured twenty or more builaings, Among those most seriously damaged aro Kramer's warehouses’ wrecked and his flouring mill greatly in- jured; tho Court House unroofed and the front blown down; the County Jail unroofed avd the walls blown down two ‘stories below the roof, leaving the iron cells exposed; Concert Halland Si Charles Savings Bank; the Gas Works and Piper's agricultural warehouse aro totally destroyed, Tho First National Bank will have to be pulled down; the County Clerk’s office; the California House; the Democrat, News and Zeitung newspaper offices; the Park Hotel; the German Methodist church; Odd Fellows’ Building and numer- ous other buildings are all badly injured. ° James Gasney, an employé at the gas works, and his Kittle son were killed. Three or four other persons were more or less hurt, The storm went in the direction of Portage des Sioux and 1s said to have destroyed several tarm houses and injured a number of persons, The storm lasted less than ive minutes. Tho damage at St. Charles 1s esti- mated at $300,000, but this is probably exaggerated, TWENTY PERSONS INJURED, £r. Louis, Feb, £8, 1876, Later advices from St, Charles stato that the report of the damage by the tornaio yesierday was mach ex- aggerated, but it is still heavy, probably from $100,000 to $150,000.

ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTIONS BY THE HOUSE—THE SENATE DECLARES THE GOVe ERNOR INNOCENT—GREAT EXCITEMENT, New Onurays, Feb. 29, 1876, After adopting the resolutions of impeachment egainst Kellogg, at half-past four P. M., the House Committee presented itself at the bar of the Senate and preferred the general charges and stated that in duo time specie articles would be presented. The Senate immediately constituted itself into a Court of Impeach. ment, Chief Justice Ludeling being in attendance and presiding, and adopted an order requiring the House to bring the specifie articles by seven P, M. Mean. while, however, the Hpuse had adjourned until ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, and did not receive the notification. A greatdeal of wrangling ocurred, consequent upon the adoption of the rules of order in the Senate, and at hball-past seven o'clock was still going ‘on, PARCICAL PROCEEDINGS, The acquittal ot W. Pitt Kellogg oceurred, and the farce ended in Senate at ten minutes past nine The ngs were perfectly peaceable, but, in contrast. with the House, the Senate act most illiberal and uncouth spirit the impeachment on the part of the ving Deen summoned, ap- Senate, where they were there-- ninformally appointed, and they ret er, until Mr, Wiltz bad pro- tested with great firmness in the name of the peuple of Louisiana, and made an impression equal to that produced by his masterly efforts in the House, Not- withstanding some litle differences of opinion as to the method, it was apparent from the first that the re- publican Senators had determined to any rate to-night. The Court of Imp to let the charges be read. No evidence was heard be- fore them. The proposition to acquit came finally on’ an order in which the mover actnally memorializes the! ourt, and, recognizing in advance the inn noe Of} Kellogg, de that the object of the impeachment. is revolutionery and for partisan. purposes, and that, inasmuch as the House had failed to prosecute him, he should be acquitted. The order was adopted by 2l yeas to 9 nn the democrats voting under compulsion, although they asked to be excused rom voting on the guilt or innocence of Kel logg before he had been tried. When the vote was an- nounced, Judge Dibble, attorney for Kellogg, remarked gleefully aloud to Judge Ray:—*t knew they would ull stick, for they said this morning that they would before they were sworn in as a court,’? meaning the twenty-four republicans. Previous to adjournment, Mr, Eustis offered a protest against the compulsion ta yote under the circumstances and alluding to the pro- ceedings ax an encouragement to officials to commit high crimes and misdemeanors, but the protest, like every other proposition emanating from the conserva- tive Side, was treated with contempt. KELLOGG APPEALS TO GRANT, A telegram received by the demoerats states that Kellogg, being satisfied that be would be impeached, despatched information to that effect to Grant and asked him if he would interfere. West replied that Grant would do nothing except under the constitutional provisions and that Kellogg would have to rely on hig own resources. The demcerats, who claim that Kellogg was acquitted when, according to was not on trial, are assertion of his own friends, he ry much encouraged, and the probabilities aro that the mpeachmenc matter is not atanend, Tt is certain that the republ have made no friends amoug the conservative Senators by their hasty and illogical proceedings. THE CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS, Hantrorp, Feb, 23, 1876, The Republican Convention for the nomination of @ Governor and a State ticket assembles in this city to- morrow. Judging from the number of delegates already arrived it will be an unusually full one. Itis no easy, matter to foreshadow the measure of success which may, flye weeks hence, fall into their laps when the strength of the opposing ticket, with Governor Inger soll at its head, 1s taken into consideration, In point of fact the rank and file of the republican party tacitly concede that the democratic-liberal candidates will be elected, but they are centring all their ene: gies and preparing their heaviest guns for activ earnest work, looking to the redemption of the State as regards the Legislature. They hope to change the complexion ol that body by returning gentlomen of tha right stripe, that a republican successor to the late 0. 8, Ferry may be secured beyond peradyenture in tho Such men as ex-Governor Joa ex-Judge Minos and Sam Fessen- 1H. W. R. Hoyt, of Green- sly, of South Norwalk of the Norwalk Gazette; ex-Lieutenai i rill, of Dandury; Postmaster James Wy Knowiton, {srael M. Bullock and Amos 8. Treat, of Bridgeport; Colovel Dexter R. Wright, HL Lynde Hi rison and Postmaster Sperry, of New Haven; Bartlett Bent, of Middictown, and Benjamin K. Douglass, of Meriden: are hore, devoting their powers to the shap- ing of means to ends. ‘One of the most formidable perplexities with which their deliberations have been met is the finding of « candidate who will condescend to allow his name tq appear at tho head of the ticket. Thus far, while ther¢ are candidates enough, there are few, ifany, who eves Inne that, for the sake of keeping up appearances in the political family, they can submit, as did “One Hum dred Gan” Green in the campaign of 1875, to the prov cess of being set up but to be unceremoniously knocked down, Inany event the most available man in the ranks will be brought forward; but from what part of the Stato, though Fairfield county has been hinted at, has not yet transpired. These delegates will have for their object, first, the securing of a Connecticut name for some place on the national ticket. The proposed platform, a bare outline of which hag been presented, wuil deal squarely with the currency question and the general finances. The aaministration will be sustained, With three tickets in the field. own, the democratic-liberal and the prohibition—wi ‘a possible fourth ticket, the “greenback,” they will ene ter the arena in the hope of a possible victory, OBITUARY, CHARLES EDWARD HORSLEY.
