PROSECUTION OF ELECTION CASES.
Washington, Dec. 29. The depart
ment of justice will, with the approval
of the President, employ able counsel to
assist the United States district attorney
in the prosecution of the election cases
in Louisiana and South Carolina. It
is to be expected that there will be con
victions in some of these cases, as the
composition of the juries selected is
such as to beget the suspicion that they
will not be altogether impartial.
THE BLAIR SCANDAL.
A few days ago a publication in a ia-
Kjr of this city to the effect that Capt.
lair, of the United States army, who a
year ago married the widow of Gen.
Gordon Granger, had a wife living in
Scotland, created a decided sensation, as
both Oapt. Blair and Mrs. Granger are
well known in social circles here. mee
the publication it has been privately
stated by the friends of Capt Blair that
there is a woman in Scotland who
claimed to be his wife, but w hose claim
to that title could not be maintained,
and that Mrs. Granger was acquainted
with all the circumstances before she
married him. The denouement is
awaited here with lively interest, and
the public curiositv will most likely
soon be gratified. Captain Blair, who
is stationed at Santa Fe, New Mexico,
has applied for and obtained leave of
absence to come to Washington to meet
the charge. He is expected here in a
few days, and may tnen uemana a court
of inquiry. '
ARMY REORGANIZATION".
In connection with the army reorgan
ization bill, when it comes up lor con
sideration, it is understood that amend
ments will be offered designed to per
fect a thorough organization of the
militia of the States. This is a matter
which has been actively agitated in one
or the other branch of Congress for a
number of years, and on several occa
sions bills in aid of this purpose and
making large appropriations have been
introduced. The point has been made
that it was one of the main objects of
the founders of the government to aid
through the national government the
organization of a well disciplined and
well equipped militia for all of the
States. Among the propositions w hich
are suggested in this connection is to
provide for a militia force of one tliou
- sand men from each congressional dis
trict to be consolidated into divisions
and corps under commanders appoint
ed by the President, the brigade com
manders to be designated by the Gov
ernors of the States, and the regiment
al officers to be elected by the men.
This would make a militia organization
of about 300.000 rank and hie. Under
this and under other propositions which
have been drawn up the general gov
i ernment is to provide for the entire
arming and equipment of the militia,
and the men are to receive pay at a rate
not to exceed $1 per day for time spent
m drills, parades and encampments
There are a numb ;r of members of Con
gress who favor this idea in some shape,
but tnere are a good many itepuoncan
members from the North who will op
pose it simply because, as they allege, it
is wanted in the South. Several mem
bers of the House say that when the
army reorganization bill is taken up in
that body, they will call for its reading
every time. The same call can be made
in the Senate if any Senator is so dis
posed. As the bill covers two or three
hundred printed pages, such tactics as
this would be sufficient to defeat it
without any debate.
THE CIPHER TELEGRAMS.
A rumor has been in circulation in
political circles to-day to the effect that
Mr. Tilden has personally intimated his
desire to appear before the Potter com
mittee and tell what he knows about
the cipher telegrams. It is said that
Mr. Tilden has come to the conclusion
that it will be to his interest to show, as
he claims that he can, that he knew
nothing whatevtr of any improper at
tempts to influence the result of the
presidential election. , .
RESUMPTION.
Formal resuptiofe of specie payments
will not after all begin until the'sscond
day of January, 1879, although the law
says "on and after the first of January."
New Year's Day is a legal holiday, both
here and in New York, and the treas
ury in Washington and the sub-treasury
in "New York will be closed on that day.
The banks in New York and in other
large cities will also be closed, so that
the rush for gold, if there is to be any,
cannot be made until the second of the
month. In anticipation of the demand
which may be made for coin, additional
paying-tellers have been provided for
the New York sub-treasury, and they
will all be on hand at ten o'clock on
January 2. The -treasury officials do not,
however, anticipate any run on the sub
treasury, as they say that practically
specie payments have been in full ope
ration for a week past. Some of the
leading Republican politicians, who
have been in recent consultation, have
determined, after : resumption is pro
nounced a fixed fact, and this they think
can be safely done in a few weeks, to
urge the President to send to Congress
a congratulatory message on the sub
ject, claiming all the glory and honor
for the Republican party, because to
that party alone is due the passage of
the specie resumption act.
THE OHIO GOVERNORSHIP.
There is a great deal of talk just now
.about Senator Thurman running for
Governor of Ohio, and the talk has been
deemed of - sufficient importance to
Judge Tnurman as to call trom rum a
statement that he cannot under any cir
cumstances consent to run. Judge
Tnurman is yery positive in this re
fusal, yet the probabilities are that cir
cumstances may so shape themselves
that he will be compelled to take the
nomination m spite of himself. The
influences which are at work to make
him the Democratic nominee r Gov
ernor of Ohio are influences which are
personally unfriendly to him. Behind
the movement are the leaders of the
anft-monev Democracv of Ohio, who
have never taken and do not now take
kindlv to Mr. Tnurman, notwithstand
ing bis renunciation of his hard money
principles in order to court their favor.
Yet they feel satisfied that Mr. Thur
man is the strongest man who can be
be put up for the nomination. If he
wins, well arid good. If he is defeated
it will in all probability end his political
career It would certainly blast his
presidential Aspirations. Judge Thur
man sees that he ha3 nothing to gain
bv making the race If he should be
plected 'as- Goveriidr it would not put
' him better .position as regards
the presidency than he occupies. To
undergo the excessive labor and fatigue
of a campaign such as that in Ohio will
be next fall might be his physical death,
- nd defeat as such would". be his pc-liti-,
pal death. 'But the intention is to force
him to take the - nomination, and. his
immediate friends fear he cannot back
- iuVularlyif the Republicans
should nominate Secretary Sherman

one fierce stamp of her little Kentucky
foot, and the manager, to mollify her,
kicked the intruders into the street

for S 10,000. Mary was in a hurry to
keep an appointment in another town.

The Bi- Walking Fa: op.
The six davs' walk at -Gihnore's
Gar-
den, New York, between O'Leary
and
Campana, came to an end at 12 o'clock
Saturday night, O'Leary having in the
time completed 400 miles and one lap,
three miles less than he made during
his match with Hughes, whilst Campana
only succeeded in scoring ;.)7 miles and
two laps. O'Leary left the track in
worse condition than he has been at t!u
finish of any of his previous six days'
walks, although his time was the slow
est. His heels are each a great blister,
and the irritating dust and a heavy cold
set him to spitting blood very freely.
Campana was completely used up, and
was only kept on the track by stimu
lants freely administered by his trainers.
Campana, after a brief rest, appeared
and made a speech, saying: " This is
my first race in New' York. I was
brought here by trainers who paralyzed
me for two days. If Harney Aaron had
been here from the tirst 1 would have
beaten O'Leary fifty miles. 1 am now
open to make a match with any man in
the country for a twelve days' walk for
$5,ooo a side." lint as a money-making
enterprise the walk was a success. The
gate money receipts were .S20,'oo over
heavy expenses, which goes nominally
to the winner, but it is understood that
by private agreement entered into early
during the week Campana is to share
liberally in the spoils.

beginning of the day she was quite stiff,
but seemed fresh on the last quarter,
and physicians think she will succeed.

Those Cij hi r Dipu'oh(s Aain.
Mr. Perry II. kmith, a prominent Illi
nois Democratic politician, who was in
Florida in the interest of Mr. Tilden
during the counting of the vote in that
State, and whose name appears in some
ot the alleged cipher dispatches, has
just arrived at Xew York from Eu
rope, and was speedily pounced upon
by a Tribune reporter. Mr. Smith ex
pressed surprise, m his own language,
that " after stealing the presidency the
nepuDiicans naa not got through cry
ing stop thief ' yet." Mr. Smith gays
Mr. Man ton Marble was the generalisi-
mo of affairs on the Democratic sid
Florida, at whose headquarters the su
ject ot buying the Florida returning
board was talked over, but he (Smith)
" would never listen to such talk, and it
would have been useless, considering
that the Republicans had all the advan
tage." He is confident Mr. Tilden had
no connection with the cipher dispatch
es, and thinks he is now the most avail
able candidate for the presidency,
"though Mr. Bayard would make "a
good candidate if nominated." Mr.
Smith said he had no confidence in Col.
Woolley or Mr. Jno. F. Coyle, though
the latter was useful in getting ev:
dence. Saved ty a Snow Bank.
Buffalo, December 29. As the Can
ada Southern train, due here at fifteen
minutes past 10 last night, was passing
King's Mills, Ontario, some forty miles
west of Buffalo, and while running at
the rate of forty-seven miles per hour,
an insane woman, named Storcher.who
was traveling from Detroit to Oswego,
in charge of George A. King, rushed to
the door of the car and out on the plat
form, jumping therefrom and landing
in a snow bank. Before the train could
be stopped it had run some three miles,
and when it was backed up the woman
was discovered running toward the
train. On reaching her she refused to
enter the car, and considerable of a
scuffle ensued. She was finally over
powered and taken aboard, when it was
found that she was entirely uninjured.

!T. NICHOLAS,
SCRIBNER'S ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE
FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
AN IDEAL CHILDREN'S MAGAZINE.
Messrs. Scribner & Co., in 1873. began the publi
cation of St. Nicholas, an Illustrated Magazine
for Girls and Boys, with Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge as
editor. Five years have passed since the first num
ber was issued, arid the magazine has won the
highest position. It has a monthly circulation of
over 50,000 COPIES.
It Is published simultaneously in London and
New York, and the transatlantic recognition is al
most as general and hearty as the American. Al
though the progress of the magazine has been a
steady advance, it has not reached its editor's ideas
of best Decause ber ideal continually outruns it,
and the magazine as swiftly follows after. To-day
St. Nicholas stands
alone in the world of books:
The New York Tribune has said of it: "St.
Nicholas has reached a higher platform, and
commands for Its service wider resources in art
and letters than any of its predecessors or contem
poraries." The London Literary World savst;
There is no magazine for the young that ui be
said to equal this choice production of Scilbner's
press."
