Ex-Senator Sargent, of Colorado, is now strongly spoken of for a place, probably the navy. Sev- eral telegrams have been received from prominent southern republicans and especially from Louisiana, pro- testing against the retention of Secre- tary Hunt and recommending Gen. Longstreet, who would be much more Mc«{;h\blo to the"republicans of the south, If these are acted on Sargentis thought to stand a good show for the navy, with Longstreet for postmaster- general after James has been retired. Boutwell is still talked of for attor- ney-general, and Howe for the inte- riof. His friends say he is sure of aplace. Frelinghuysen's sccurity as secretary of state is conceded. in- coln is oxrected to remain, and it is thought the president has not settled in his own mind the treasury prob- lem. POLITICAL GOSSIP AT THE CAPITAL. President Arthur is expected to reach this city from Yorktown to- morrow morning. The senate will resume its sossion at noon.

The session of the senate will close about the middle of noxt wook. Wheover will be named for the new cabniet will be promptly confirmed There is no hitch over any nominations in the senate except in the case of Col. Dudley, and the antagonism against him will not keep the senate in protracted session over his case. Tho democrats will make no attempt to elect a secretary of the senate, and the republicans are quite willing to let the matter go over until next December. Among the vacancies likely to be filled are the governor- ship of Arizona, vice Fremont, re- sigied, aud first assistant postmaster general, vice Tyner, about to resign. MORF. DUELS PROBABLE.

Mahone fighting old Jubil Early, a man whois old and decrepit. @There have been a number of duels during this campaign. I should not wonder if there were several more before the campaign was over.” HE WANTED GOLD, A well dressed map about 60 years of age, appeared at ‘the treasury this morning with $17,140.30 in United States 6 per cent. coupon bonds, ma- tured Ju‘y 1st last.

Efforts to disuade him from his pur- pose were unavailing, Gold bonds calling, for gold he would have. He demanded that even the odd $9 50 should be in gold, taking therc- for a 85, $2 50 and two 81 pieces. He sat down in Assistant Treasurer Wy- man’s room and carefully counted the gold and put it in a ca pet bag.

THE CHRISTIANCY CASE. Natloual Associated Press. IMPOKTANT TESTIMONY, WasuiNarox, October 20.—The witness who was to show how Giro, Mrs, Christiancy’s alleged paramour, manufactured evidence ageinst her in the suit for divorce, appeared here in | court to-day 'in the person of Miss May Oamborlain, who says she isa seamstress. She lcoks nothing like Mrs. Ohristiancy. She says she had koown Giro about three months in New York, when he wished her to help him ott in an affair in this city, which he promised should not com- promisea her in any way. She agreed and she arrived here Christmas morning with a friend named Goodwin. Giro having pre- ceded her, met them at the Baltimore & Potomac depot, and they held a lengthy conversation, in which the program was mapped out, and he went out and showed Goodwin the route. She proceeded to the corner of Third and O streets, near the residence of Mrs, Christiancy. In a few minutes Giro approached in a carriage, and she walked towards the house, She met him as he left the carriage, and to- %-flmr they entered the hall of Mrs. ’hristiancy’s residence. After a hur- ried conversation, they came out to- gether and went to the St. James ho- tel. Here they retired to a room. In a little while Giro’s conduct became familiar, and she, resenting his advances, made him angry and his talking was so loud that it brought a waiter to the door. She declined to remain in the room any longer, claiming that her part of the arrangement had been carried out and she would go back to New York. He told her she was not yet through, gave her &0 and said that to mike the plan complete she was to return to the houss in a hack and would meet her friond in the same spot where she left him and he could re- turn with her, She rode back to the residence, left the carriage, entored the vestibule, eame out, walked to the corner to meet Mr. Goodwin and to- gether they went to the depot and took the next train for New York, Mrs. Christiancy’s gounsel claim that this efféetually disproves the charge of adultery based on Mrs, Christiancy's alleged visit to the St. James hotel in company with Giro, on Christmas, 1880.

"OMAHA, ¥l AIDAY ~ BEYOND THE SEA. An Impmaion Provalent That the English Land League 18 to b Coerced. The Lord Lieutenant Issuesa Proclamation Denouncing the League, Archbishop Croke Writes a Letter Disapproving the League Manifesto. I'he Letter Considered a Very Hard Pill For the Land League to Swallow. Opening of the Land Court in Dublin Yesterday. Misoellaneous Foreign News. Natfonal Associated Press, CO-OPERATION URGED, DustiN, October 20.—The Irish Times to-day urges Dublin merchants to co-operate in support of executive authority in Ireland. It recommends a definite organization under the lord- lieutenant 1n each county. ENGLISH LAND LEAGUE TO BE COERCED. LoxpoNn, October 20.—There is an impression, apparently well founded, that the English land leaguo is also to be coerced. The information to this effect to-day is so direct and positive that the English land league has been notified by its managers to search all books, records and vouchers of all kinds relating to affairs relating to the league. MORE ARRESTS, The news from Ireland continues to be highly interesting. To-day addi- tional arrests have been made. Mr. John Goodsell, the ex-secretary of the Limerick mechanics’ institute, Mr. William Dorris, the successor of Mr. Quinn as secretary of the league, and Mr., Michael Power, a well-known nattonal leader, have been arrested to- day. The general opinion is that these arrests are vexatious and unjus- tifiable, even under the sweeping authority of the coercion act. LAND LEAGUE TO BE REMOVED, It is ramored that the land league will remove their headquarters to Boulougne sur-mer if it finds it im- possible to remain at Dublin. Arch- bishop Croke has issued a pastoral letter, in which he repudiates the manifesto of the land league and ad- vocates payment of rent. About two hundred tenants in Menagh paid their rent, thus disregarding the prohibition of the league. OPENING OF THE LAND COURT. DusLiN, October 20.—The land court opened to-day. There wasa crowded attendance. Lord Justice O’Hagan said that the court had de- cided on extreme rules of procedure, free from all technicalities. The fee for entering the court would only be o shilling; so that nobody could have the excuse of not having advantage of the land act, The would be a similar fee on giving notice of appeal, for the present commissioners would do their best to make the act a success. The judge's statement was received with applause, DORRIS ARRESTED, Wm. Dorris, who has been in charge of the land league office since the ar- rest of Sexton, was arrested this morn- ing and conveyed to Dundalk. LAND LEAGUE DECLARED ILLEGAL, DusriN, October 20.—The lord lieutenant has issued a proclamation suppressing the land league proclama- tion. He declores that the land league is an illegal and criminal organization and that all of its meetings shall be dispersed by force. CIRCULAR TO TENANTS, Mr. Mitchel Henry, home rule member of parliament for county Galway, has issued a circular to his tenants pointing out that if any of them think they can get better homes from the land court he has neither the power nor wish to prevent them, but he also points to the) unqualified lowness of the present rents and other advantages. He says he is willing to allow a reduction of from 16 to 20 per cent. on the half years rent due in May last, but hereafter full rents would be expected. He says he sup- poses the rents will be cheerfully paid, and that the tenants will not, at the bidding of false friends and teachers, reverse the relations which have hith- erto existed, but that they will main- tain their self respect and character as honest men, ARCHBISHOP CROKE'S LETTER, Dusray, October 20.--Archbishop’ Croke has written a public letter en- tirely disapproving of the land league manifesto of “‘no rents.” The follow- ing is the letter: TaurLes, October 19.—I have just read, with the utmost pain and indeed with absolute dismay, the manifesto issued by the leading patriots incar- cerated in Kilmainham jail and pub- the land league rooms for the com- licly ploclaimed to the country from mittal of the people of this country, even under still more exciting and critical circumstances than the present, to the doctrine of non-payment of rent, but for a certain mpecified time. T must and do hereby enter my solemn protest. At no time an enrolled member of the league, Ihave been a steadfast, uncompromising supporter of its public policy of the whole, believing the same to be thoroughly legal and caleulated to lead to great naticnal results, I am precisely of the same opinion still, but I have invariably stated that I stood out for fair rents and nothing more for the safe foothold of the ag- ricultural classes upon Irish soil, that they should be ~wholesomely fed, fairly clothed and suitably lodged, and that absolute repudiation of rent. should it ever find_public cxpression in TIreland, would meet with no sympathy from me. Such aro my views. regret to have been obliged to say so much. T lold to the original platform of the Irish na- tional land league. - There is no more reason for abandoming it now than when Davitt took possession of his cell in Portland or when Dillon, with his 200 companions, wero committed to jail. It was a sufficiently elastic policy, it wasa righteous policy, testod by experience an , Was & suc- cessful policy anl it wélded bishops, priests and laymen _into one brother- lmmL Anyhow, I thorouzhly be- lieved in all its substantial branches and T quito as _firmly believo that the policy now so impetuously recom- mended to the eountry instead, be- sides, of being comdemncd on the grounds of principle and expediency, can lead te nothing but disintegration and defeat. (signd& T. W, C : of Cashel. The arch-bishop' T is the worst blow which could: be atruck at the league at the present moment, for it is a blow from within fiot from with- out, Any one who teh °d Arch- Arcl Bishop Croke's attitudeffor the past two years, his ul mising hos- tility to isin, his antagonism to other bishops on the question of agitation, his sympathy with nationalism his personal friendship for Dillon and several other leaders of the movement, may under: stand how brave is his ent action and how much plain i jmust cause him. Those who dnu%lt must be convinced of it now. Tlis last act will do more to turn the cdge of the leaguers drawn sword the gov- ernment could do in months, It changes the face of affairs completely.

If the decisions of this tribunal are within the bounds of fairness there can be no doubt of the' result. WARNED IN TIME. Dusriy, October 20.—The remnant of the executive committec of the land league received the warning of the issuance of the proclamation in time to clear the Dublin office of all their books and documents. The land league has issued & circular to farmers, advising them to give bills of sale upon their property. to prevent landlords from seizing it for rent. Five fresh arrests have been made in Limerick. MoxTrEAL, Canada, October 20.— A mass meeting was held to-day of the sympathizsrs of Parnell and the Irish people.

The guns of the 'war vessels in harbor thundercd at intervals and the wholo scene was very animated. Very many specta- tors who had attended the hop last night were forced to zo to the camp without having breakfasted, owing to having overslept themselves, conse- quently there was confusion in seat- ingon the grand stand owing to late arrivals. The body of troops when formed in line numbered 15,000 and there were 150 sailors and marines. The procession tormed and moved at 10:50 o’clock. The head started from the Temple farm, where they rested and marched over a route four miles long, passing the grand stand, on which were the president and cabinet, General Sherman and staff, and Gen- errl Hancock and staff, who were sealed and reviewed them. The day was bright and the spectacle — | ment. | applauded loudly at times, and com- imposing, the procession taking an hour and twenty minutes to pass a given point. The line represented ‘the army “and’ navy and the mihtia and volunteer soldiery of Georgis, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Car- olina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Ken- tucky, Michigan and Connecticut.

After the review the First Connecticut regiment marched at once to the boat and left for Charles- ton, South Carolina, whero they will be the guests of the Washington Light Guards of that city. The lattsr com- mand laft on a boat for home imme- diately after the review. The Georgia and Rhode 1sland troops also left for home this afternoon. Gov.

YorkTown, October 20.—The fea- ture of the day's events was the grand review of the military by the president and cabinet, Generals Sher- man and Hancock and their staffs and distinguished guests. Early this moraning thousands repaired to the grand stand located on the outskirts of the camp and awaited the coming of the procession, Thero was some delay in consequence of the non-arriv- al of the Connecticut troops, but General Hancock, after waiting half an hour after the regular hour for all delinquents to appear, finally con- cluded to start the procession. In the meantime the war ships in the harbor fired salutes and the batteries at the camp added to the thunder, and when the crowd was assemblod along the route over which the procession would pass the scene was of the greatest cnthusiasm, The day was bright and fair and aided ma- terially in showing the troops to good advantage. Shortly after 10 o'clock the strains of martial music gave no- tice to the assemblage of the coming procession. The route over which the procession was to pass lay along the Lurdurfl of Templo farm and was o circuit of about four miles, Gen. Hancock, on horseback, headed the procession, His coming was gencrally hailed with cheers and when him- solf and staff reached the head the applause was deafening. Gen. Hancock and staff fell out of line when the grand stand was reached, and dismounting took scats on that structure and roviewed the troops as they passed. The procession passed in the order named below, while a battery on the right of the field fired appropriate salutes: The Second ar- tillery band, four companies of the Second United States artillery as in- fantry, four companies of the Third United States artillery as infantry, four companies of the First United States infantry; the marine band,a corps of United States marines, four companies of sailors from the United States flagship Franklin with picks and shovels, sixteen companies of sailors from various ships in the harbor armed as infantry, United States flagship Franklin band, sailors, boys from training ship probably seen at Detroit, Minnesota, a8 reported, dragging Gatling guns, band, ten companies of veterans from the sol- abouts the celebration is practically over. —_——— Railroad Directors.

Critcado, October 20.---A special this worning from Quincy states that the Sny levee has broken about two miles above Scott’s landing. The exact location of the break cannot be detsrmined up to this time because of the alarm that prevails among the peo- ple, who seem to bo frantic and una- ble to give particulars Scott’s land- g is due west from Rockport four miles, and the country between the places is almost one completo slough which will prove the receptacle for a large body of the water, which is now pouring in through tho break There was a large quantity of water in the Suy long before the break occurred, and this is now rising with great rapidity. The levee where the break occurred is lined with timber on either sides, the soil being sandy and of poor material for resistance. As soon as the alacm was given the people in the vicini:{ began to seek places of safety, and to drive their stock to high ground.

The railroad freight houses and other buildings along the levee front are entirely surronnded by water and many of the floors are covered. From some of them everything has been vemoved. The island between the bay and the riveris completely submerged with the excoption of a small shee of ground in the rear of the marine ways. The people livi on this island have all been com| to leave as the water rose so rapidly yesterday that it now covers the toors of all buildings situated there. Across the river the low lands are all inun- dated to the Dbluffs, seven miles from the river. Al- most all tbe inhabitauts have moved, many hogs and cattle have been drowned, a Lfinmny more killed by railroad trains, the animals going on the embankment, that being the only ground that can be found above water. Lone T'ree Prairie, commenc- ing five miles north on the Missouri side, is under water a distance of twelve miles, the water being in some places of it almost up to the second stories of the houses. At the state fish pond, ten miles south of Quincy, the situation is most alarming. Com- missioner Bartletthasused every effort to save the fish, but his work is but half completed. The water is within six inches of the top of the Sny levee near Stillwell's farm, at the head of the levee, and it was thought that the break must occur soon. Should this take place over half a million na- tive fish and a thousand German corp will be carried away. The Warsaw levee, above Quincy, which reclaims seventeen thousand acres of land, broke last evening. An immense vol- ume of water is now pouring through the crovasse and rapidly spreading over the country. This 18 the most productive farming land in the state. A large portion of it was sown with winter wheat. This has all been destroyed, and the damage done to farmers in the vicinity can hardly be estimated. Although the backwater from the sloughs and runs had covercd a portion of the tract, many familieson thehigher groundstillremained. Whe the alarm reached themthey left every - thing and fled to the blutfs for safety. Railroad property on the Missouri sido will suffer heavily, The tracks of the St. Louis, Keokuk & North- western Railway areseveral feet under water between Quincy and Keokuk. Between Quincy and Hannibal the tracks are also under water. There is three inches of water on the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific division of the Wabash, The river at this point is now over seven miles wide. e ——— Indications. Natlonal Associated Fress.
