Wasmsxaron, Sept. 29, 1876, - THE RUMORED RESIGNATION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL TAFT DENIED—HIS RELATIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE MOST CORDIAL CHAR- ACTEB. , For the second time a false rumor has been circu- Iated that Attorney General Taft had resigned. It ts need'ess to say that there is no ground for it, There is the best authority for saying that the relations exist- ing between the Attorney General and President Grant are of the nrost cordial character and it is stated, with- out reserve, that they are and have been in entire accord since Judge Taft has been in the Cabinet, Before the departure of the Secretary of War for the West he had, with other officials atthe War Depart- ment, an explicit and comprehensive understanding as to the workings and carrying out of his circular ofin- structions in connection with the possibility that troops might be required in the South to preserve order and keep peace during the coming elections, There was subsequently a slight and unimportant, though mode! ly vexatious, difference as to a con- struction of the circular by the War Department which excited comment and solicitudo on the part of Attorney General Taft, He submitted tho master to tho Presi- dent in the course ofa conversation with bim at Long Branch, suggesting that a different view was held.by himself in the premiacs from that taken by other a ministration officials. The President at once ga’ him to understand that he need have no alarm, as he would rectify the matter {nm case any necessity arose, This restored entire satisfaction, The Attorney General bas completed a great deal of accumulated work which was brought before him. He remained hero, and day by day, as woll as far into the night, he has worked away in his office aod private parlor, which latter was like a second edition of tho Attorney Goneral’s office, until he finally completed everything prior to h departure forOnio, Ho had no intention of resigning when ho left here, but expected to be back in ten days’ time, and spoke cheerfully ot resuming his duties when ho had made a few speeches tn the campa'z’ Tho Preeitont is perfectly satisged with him and has the utmost confidence in his judgment and logal ability. Secretary Morrill, upon boing asked to-night about the rumor, said there was no truth in it; that the At- torney General had no notion of resigning, and that nothing wad known of it in Cabinet affairs. He laughed at tho idea of such a supposition. Judge Taft's ambition has been fully aroused to an active and onergotic co-operation in seelug the laws oxecniod and the fruits of reconstruction secured, He will not ro- sign until then, THE COMMISSIONS ILLEGALLY EXACTED FROM "HE MERCHANTS BY THE TREASURY DEPANT- MENT—THE MONEY TO BE REFUNDED. ‘Tho Seorotary of the Treasury has uodor considera- tion the noted commission cases which affect New York morchants go much, Socrotary Morrill says they extend back to the timo whon tie late Salmon P. Chase was Secretary of the Treasury and down to Mr, Bris- tow’s term of office. The commissions wero gaid to be unjustly oxucted by the government and sult was en- tored agatnst It for the parties interested, which was decided adversely to the United” States by the Circuit | Court at New York. Accordingly, from tho term of Mr. Chase until that of ox-Secretary Bris- tow, payments in conformity with the decision of tho Court were made to the merchants in refundmont of dutics improperly exacted, Ex-Sec- retary Bristow took a different view from that ot hia predecessors and referred the inatter to his law officer. Meantime oil payments were stopped, and he directed the matter to be carried to tho law court, There it appears a reference was agreed upon between tho einimants and the governmont, and thns the case now stands awaiting, what is apparently inovitable, the judgments to be entered up against the Treasury Department, Nearly $2,000,000 in all will have been finally paid, about one-fourth of the amount, ac- cording to Sécretary Morrill’s statement, romaining to be refunded. Secretary Morrill. has not yet decided what shall be done, but it is believed that, after av ex- amination of the law, ho will bo inclined to follow the view taken by his predecessor until Mr. Bristow's in- cumbency, when they were repeatedly appealed and Obstructed. It has boon several times decided in the eourts that the monoy belongs to the morchanta, Sec- retary Morrill is going to take the matter drmly in band and give the merchants justice, He considered it to-day and will probably announce a favorable de- cision to-morrow.

Three Lives Sacrificed in the Fall of an Overloaded Warehouse. A Scene of Awilul Excitement in Springfield, Mass. DIGGING FOR THE DEAD. + Srnivarmxp, sfass., Sept. 29, 1876, ‘The folly of erecting cheap business blocks and then permitting their floors to be heavily loaded has this afternoon received a terrible demonstration In Spring- fieid, with loss of human lives to enforce the awful lesson. A few minutes before two P. M, the upper floor of the threo story brick block in Hampden strect, owned by L. 8, Stowe and Willism T, Parks, gave way under the weight upon tt, and, falling with a crash, carried down successively the second and first floors, the-wholo, with their contents, falling in s mass into the collar. Tho débris caught fire from an engine on the ground floor, and almost before the poople m the vicinity could realize what had hap- pened & great volume of smoke issued from the building, followed quickly by flames, Hun- dreds of people flocked to the place,-and tho firemen without deny responded to the alarm, The horrible news spread quickly that six men wore bencath the ruins, and if mot crashed to death would certainly bo roasted alive, while the hissing steam from tho engine added a fresh horrorto the scene. Soon, however, it was ascertained that three of the men had released “| themselves from their periious position tn the collar, and, bleeding, nad crawled out through a cellar «in- dow, Mcanwhile thoSpoworful streams of tho Fire De- partment had got the fire pretty well under control, aud the hook and iadder company fell to work to pull out the débris, and if possible reach tho mon who were still ENDURING A LIVING DRATH IF NOT DEAD ALRKADY. The building had three concerns as occupants, Tho Huck Cigar Manufacturing Company bad the whole of the west half, also the apper floor of the eust half, where they had from 60,000 to 80,000 pounds of tobacco stored. On the second floor S, Parker & Co, had 400 barrels of flour, whose woight was nearly 80,000 pounds; also 300 empty barrols, It was this weight of seventy-five tons, besides the floors themselve: b agg crashed down upon the first floor, occupie: by Walker & Son asa pork packing establishmont, where six men were at work. ‘THK NAMES OF THX VICTING are as follows:— M. Walker, of tho firm just named, Martin Sheridan. Poter, a Gorman, familliarly known as “Peter Dutchy."” J. St. Gesset, a Frenchman, who lives in Wost Springdeld. ‘Michael Casey. Jacod Davis. Jast threo got out soon afler the accident, and the first throo must be given up ssdead. At half-rast two it was reported thata man could.be heard in the ruins crying for belp. When, however, the ruins were suficiently cleared uway to allow the firemen to enter cellar, only an ominous silence followed sheir re- peated calla, A BODY RESCUED. Ata quarter past three the firemen announced that they had found a man in the cellar immodiately below where the office was, This, it was soon ascertained, was Goorgo N. Walker, the Junior partuor of the tirm ot Walker & Son. At this information the efforts were redoubled to reach him, and at twenty minutes of tour the body was rescued’ and deposited in B. J. Piper's pattern shop, opposite. When fouud young Walker was compressed into a space hardly ten inches in width, @ mags of bimber and other rubbish upon him, which caused the body to assumo the position one would take in stooping to pick up something from tho floor, but presaed neariy flat. Ho was sttin in a chair, which was crushed flat to ihe floor, ¢ body, when ro. moved, presouted A SICKENING SIGHT, The head was bad!y cut over the right e: lips wore of a dark purple color, while they, the whole face, were terribly swollen and disfigured.

A CRY FOR mELP. At a quarter of four a man fo the wing noar the rear was heard crying for help. He was distinctly heard to say that he was ail right, but could not move, Rapidly, yet of necessity cautiously, the firemen continued their work, inspired by the hope of getting him out alive. Not a few of the workers labored with bleeding hands caused by broken glass, and strained every nerve in the stifling smoke from the tobacco and pork to reach the bodies. ‘A force of mea from the hook and ladder company pulled over @ portion of the dangerous front wall ino the street. Itwas doubtful if the bedies would be reached for several hours. THE LOSSES. Tho total fivanolal loss is not far from $30,000, with riial tngurance. The Huck COgar Manufacturing Company's Joss 1s fully $10,000; insured for $12,600. Walker & Sons’ loss is about $6,000 oh pork, lard, &o. ; insared for $3,600 in the Queen, ‘of London, 'S, Palmer & Co. had no Insurance, ‘The building which has thus proved fatall erected five or six years ago and was unfortunate at that time, the middle wall falling during the process of construction.

It bas long been known that there is matter within the orbit of Mercury and outside of tho sun’s disk suffi- cient to influence the motion of Mercury, and many efforts bave been made to discover an interior planet, The morning and evening sky have boon carefully wutched; but the small size of the planet, and Ite con- tinual close proximity to the sun, would make it almost if not quite impossible to see it, on account of the twilight. Observers nave been dotailed during total eclipses of the sun, especially to search for this interior planet; but their search has been truitioss, ‘Tne sun’s di*k has been closely watched for many years in the hope of detecting 1¢ in transit, and here alone bas there beeu even an appearance of success, It is to be noted, however, that although astronomers have scrutinized the si for Pity ia the observation of A, ts and in tl dy of urface; although it o Vena ay dat th inoumerable, and taere pbotograp! ve been caret Wy stadied, it has never occurred that, to ao observer ing the means of verityi ing his observation, tho ini voucht to exhibit Its countenance, weak was avory short time of th bo no gach spot upon Fiokmanet is aes sede @ as to prove a real pianct, it is not necease to assume th: ire fraudulen id therefore we must either admit that there are two or more an interior to Moreury or attrib- ute of these obsorvations to som other cause, and whatever will account for one will acco all.

T., Sept. 29, 1876. A gontleman who left Fort Peck last Sunday, and who traded with Long Dog and Inkpaduty when they wore thore, arrived ou tho Benton last evening. He says Long Dog was within twenty miles of Wolf Point when Gencral Terry was there, and that ho had been into Fort Peck repeatedly since then, On Saturday Lone Elk and Fast Dog came in froin the hostile camp. | ‘They announced that the hostiles were coming into Fort Peck, but they wanted the agent and dis outlt to go away, MODEST BEQURSTS, Thoy did not want aunuities or rations, but wanted ‘he trador to remain and to have plenty of ammuni- tion. They made presonts to the agency Indians and brought in two horses belonging to the Seventh cay- alry; also curbinoa and saddles evidently belonging to that regiment. They wanted to bo friendly to the whites, and said none would be molested this winter by thom, but they woula fight the soldiers when they oxme out after them. They realized that the whites would whip them in the end, but they would not eur- render, and would die fightin, STRENGTH OF TKR INDIANS. They claimed they had 10,000 men in the flold this summer and that they could bring 8,000 more warriors to fight noxt year, Thoy said many Indians now at the agencies would join them In the spring. @ITTING BULL'S PoBITIOS, Sitting Bull, with 100 lodgos, they also say, 1s on the Littlg Missouri, where inost of the Indians that fought Custor are now, within two days’ magch of the Little Horn, They say Black Moon, Urazy Horse and Ione Horn are greater chiofs than Sitting Bull; that Sitting Bull is only ono of many chiefs, and when these chiefs hold aconncil they listen “to them. The Cheyonnes, Ogalialus, Sancares and Brulés, they alloge, wero greater in number in the battle than Sitting Bull's tribe, tho Uncpapag, RESPONSE OF THR AGENT, The agent at Fort Peek sent these men back with a message to Sitting Bull to come in and he would treat him wolk Theagoncy Indians gay that when the hos- tiles come in the agent shakes hands with them and fétes them and it makes them feel sorry they were vob hostile, becauso then they would be treated much bet- ter.

Purcapmrema, Sept. 29, 1876. The ninth concert of tho Contonnial musical festival took place to-night before one of the largest audiences of the ontire series of concerts, Tho attractions were numerous and of a bigh order. Cherubini’s magni- cent overture, “Anacreon,”” opened the programme, Then came in the orchestral part, tne olevor arrange- ment of Hungarian dances, by Brahms. Of all the eccentric arrangements for instruments of Sclavonie masic this 1s, beyond doubt, the most suc- cessful. Tho Magyars, in their idea of music, woro not governed by any recognized laws; but, nevertheless, there 1s a certain charm iu their wild melodies, They were fortunate in havin greet composers to put their crude themes info musicalsbape. There are many other nationalities In Kurope, some of them trodden under foot, which sould give to a Brahma, a Liszt, a Chopin, moro postical musical subjects than Hungary or Poland can supply. Bratms has made a work of true artistic merit on those Hungarian dancos, Bach’s concerto for threo pianos and string orches- tra was played with precision and with faultless effect in regard to phrasing by Mr. Mills, Miss Brown and Mmo. Schiller. It {@ pot m very cheerful work for the piano, Bach’s works for two, three or four pianos aro not calculated to ive @ favorable improssion of piano music jo tho general public. They aro terribiy heavy, and in view of the immense strides made in piano litera- ture at the present Ss ‘hey may be called old fash Joned. The “Centennial Chorus,” ang then Miss Henno gave those sconos from Gluek's ‘a “Orpbeus,” of which wo have spoken on a previous occasion. Mr. Remmertz was encored in the lovoly baritone song of Wolfrau, in tho last of “Tannhaueer," with tho lament over the departed Elizabeth, #0 tull of tenderness. With {ts superb socompaniment, the shimmering of the violing, the accompaniment of the harp, the reeitatives of the violoncello, the grand aw was splendidly rendered by Rommorts. Miss Marian Brown piayed two Chopin pieces anda Schubert selection asa piano solo, She was very am- atcurfsh and very inoffoctive. Miss Brown ts entirely out of place in a musical festival of this kind. She has a great deal to learn before sho becomes a rocog- nized pianiste im the concert hall A programme comprising cightoon distinct works will oloso she featival to-morrow evening. AMUSEMENTS, LA FILLE DE MADAME ANGOT AT THE LYCEUM, A crowded audionco gr a the first performance this season of Lecocq’s charming opéra bouffe, with Mile, Aiméo as Clairette. There is something of charming vagabondage in her rendition ot such char- acters as La Périchole and Mme Angot’s daughter, which is always eure to fascinate an sudience that bas schooled itself to the appreciation of French opera, La Périchole in hor hands transplanted Parisienne, but Clairiotte is the girl of the Hallos in her native air! ‘The pose, the wink, the shrug, the arget, are all du bon naturel, sod Aimée is easily queen of $1 fille Angot tient de familie, triamphed Jast night as she had before on the same boards.
