He was ‘prominent in the fight against Congress- moan Bragg's nomination two years ago, Ho 18 a friend of Postmaster-General Vilas, John O, Macgregor, assistant chief of the customs division of the treasusy, was to-day apoointed to be chief of that division, vice B, James resigned. The commissioner appointed by the pres: dent to visit South American countries 1n the interest of the commerca of the United States has reported under date of April 20th to the department of state the result of its observa tions while at Lima, Peru, In acommunica tion to the secrotary of state, accompanying the report, the commission saye, “The po litical situntion in Peru i3 not such as to make a mission like that upon which we had the honor to come, either satisfactory or con- clusive, But we are gratified to report a cordial reception by the provisional overnment and from the people,notwithstand- ing the fact thoy feel somewhat aggrieved at the failure of the United States to exercise its good oftices for their benefit during the recent war with Chili, This d te subject was not alluded to officially during our visit but in private conversations the complications of three and four years ago were spoken of in | such a maoner as to leave the impression | that our government, in their opinion, d prove more injury than good, However, 18 still the most friendly sentiment w | been stimulated by tho attitude of Mi | Phelps and desiro to secure more intimate international commercial relations botween | the two countries. The people privately talk | of annexation to the United States; news- } pers openly advocate a protectorate over | Bora " 07 our goverument as the best ' mode of securing internal peace, and there have been many | other ruggestions advanced in the same spirit. | Our commerce with this country has dwindled down to almost nothing_in ccmpariscn with its former magnitude, This is accounted for by the enormcus decrease in the purchasing power of Peru, and by ths fact that the steam. ship company which epjoys & monopoly on { the west coast of South America uses its in- fluence and regulates its freight tariffs so as to divert trade to England. It is the opinion of every merchant in Peru and of the m bers of the government that_these conditions can’t be changed until there is direct commu- nication by steam between the ports of this country and those of the United States, It is sid to be cheaper to ship goods from New York by way of Liverpool and Hamburg around the horn to Callas, than by way of the ishthmus, while » passengea pays $375 in 'American gcld for transportation from New York to Valparaiso. ; 'We were formerly prasented to the presi- dent on April 20th, Mr,Commisstoner Thatch- or presented Gen, Iglosias with an autograph etter from the presdent of the United States, and delivered an address to which the presi- dent replied.

He rode at foll gallop between Sherman and Grant at Vicksburg, snd was known to be ¢qual toany emer- gency. In time Grant went to other fields, and our captaln plodded through the war with Sherman, Logan, Blair, and Belk- asp, the latter having sived next door to him In his native town all his life, and, of course, know him Intimately. Well, Capt. Saur under the law regu- lating sach matters, was responsible to the government for all the property of his company. It had been receipted for by him sndf when he was detached or turned over his command to another he should have taken a voucher that all the property charged against him might be duly cradited him in the quartermaster’s department, For eome reason, In the exigencles of an actlve command thls was not done and after Capt. Saur was mus- tered out he had due him §2,000 back pay. After some tlme he was confronted with large account sgsnst hlm for property un- accounted for. He ealled on Quarter- master-General Mofgs, who fucnished him a blll of particulars, sairg: *‘Cap- tain, there are two waya you can get credit for this account. Furn mo 1e- ceipts for such property as yon may have turned over, cr file your oath, ss an officer, that 1t was lost or destroyed in action, The latter way is very common now, in settlements of such accounts, 1 am powerless under the law to help you otherwisa.” Inscanning the itcms standing charged against him, Oapt. Ssur noticed a lot of ploket ropes and stakes, about which he well remembered, and he sald: *“Gen. Melge, when in chase of Hood and his army, one day a contractor came to me with a psremptory order to recelve and reccipt for a picket rope and stake for every horso In my command. My men were old soldlers, wera used to hard work and much fighting, and wers loaded down with all they could carry. They needed only plenty of hard-tack, bacon, coffee, and ammunition, but had no use for a rope and stake, welghlng twenty cr thirty pounds, and openly said so, But my orders were to take the ropes. I did so and distributed them, At the end of the first mile not a rope could be found. Every man had thrown his into the brush. Now, no llving man could pre- vent thls, I have no receipt, nor was the property lost in battle. You eay If I swear it was 80 lost I can have proper cred The law apparently glves a premium for lylng, 1 won't doit. If the facts are not enough I will go with- out my pay.” Andso heleft it and came home to ponder over the injustice of army regulations. In time, however, Gen. Grant made Belknap seccretary of war, Grant and Belknap knew how such things came about, aad Captaln Saur agaln went to Weshinglon to l:y hls case before his friend, Secretary Belknap. The secretiy sald: ““Captain, Gen, Melgs is right, it is the law. Iknow of no way to help ivu out, save as he suggests. Dut possi- y the president can help you out. Let u go over to-morrow before buslness hours and hear what he says. He will be interested and will listen to you.” This was done, The president revlewed his recollectlon of the young captaln and eald: “‘Captain, I will s:nd for the pa- pers In your case to-day. Come In again to-morrow morning and 1 will see what can be done.” When Captaln Saur again called Grant handed him his papers, say In, ¢‘Take these to Gen. Meigs, an thiok he will settle your accounts satls- factorlly.” The papers were endorsed. (Quartermaster - General Meigs — Sir: you will at once adjust this account of Capt. Saur, glving him credit for all prop- erty now charged him in your depart- ment, 80 he may draw his psy and go home without delay. U. 8. Graxr, President United States.” Capt. Saur took his papers and pre- sented them to the geizzly West Polnter, Gen. Melgs, who afier adjusting his glasses and reading the order, turned to Oapt, Saur and smilingly eaid: “Well this is sufficient law for me. I will have your account ready for ssttlement so you can take an early train to-morrow.” Se Oapt. Saur got his pay, and so Presldent Grant cut the red tspes of army regula- tlons, CuarLes P, Binge, President Newell on speed, New York Mail and Express, “‘Was there ever any such fast traln as the ‘Chicago limited’ before the consoll- datlon of the lies which now make the New York Central & Lake Shore?” I in- quired. “‘Thera was & train which ran between New York and Chicago in twenty-six hours, but it was not continued very long. The advantage of consolidation has been more in {he reductlon of the oost of operatlon and an Increase of safety than In a chauge of speed of tralns, Through frelght tralns from Chicago to New York began to run in 1864, and through passenger tralns were started a year later. In 1865 Commodore Vanderbilt negotlated the purchase of the Clexeland & Toledo railway, and m; acqusintance with him began with that trausaction, Slgee the beglnning of the consolidation movement the wanage- ment of railways has been greatly im- proved.” ‘Do you not expect that the epsed of railway trains will bs etill fucthea in- creasec?’ No, I donot. Itdoesnot pay to run very fast tralne, The people are not willing to pay the extra fare required to meet the extra expente. When a train {s drlven beyoud a certaln rate of speed the wear and tear rapidly increase and the cost of operation ls so much greater that more fare must be charged than on tralns of average speed. This train is fast enough for me, its average rate belng exasctly thirty-five miles an hour, Including stops, and tkere are not travelers enough who ato willlng to psy sn extra price for ridlng at the rate of forty miles an hour to make our ‘Chicago ilmiwd' [y profitable traln, We run it because ti Pennsylvania zallway runs a slmilar train, and with four tracks and a level country the New York Central and Lake Shore system can run very fast tralns b tween New York and Chicago as advan: ageously as any rival, but I favor a train to make more than thirky-five miles an hour only to meet competition,” o ——— Now is the tlme to bulld, Get low prices on lumber from Geo, A, Hoagland, QUICK TRICKS.
