At tuis season of the year all gov ernment property, no matter how in significant in value, that happens to be located in the mountains or upon the seashore is discovered, by the powers that be, to be in immediate need of official inspection, and it us ually takes one or more cabinet offi cers and a party of friends to do the inspecting, and Uncle Sam, he pays the bills.

In this- statement are such phrases -as the ; following : "Declarations of Independence from the arrogance of "British" politicians must be supplemented by, a Decla ration of Independence from the frightful - power-; of - consolidated wealth." 'We consider violence in settling disputes as -unworthy of a civiiized nature, i ami for tins' reason we have organized a. party of 'the people to .overthrow tl.e tyraats who have robbed and are continuing-to rob Q3 of that which trttfy have uo moral right."

WASHINGTON LETTER. y From ourRegular .Correspondent. . . . Washington, July 24, 1831r ;Mr; JF.' Tillman, who, ' with Dr. Macune "and' Alonzo' Wardell, is charged with' looking after the exe cutive business vof the 'v. National Farmers Alliance, is in town. :IIe haa just returned from -Indianapolis, where he has been on- official .busi ness.1-in answer to a-; question : m said : "It is "highly probable , that ntfianapolis will be chosen for . our National convention on thc17th of next November. ; The-date was fixed at the Ocala meeting, but the ; selec tion of the place was.left tq the ex ecutive board. I think, we shall choose Indianapolis because of its central locution,' and because there will b& held in that city at the same time the convention, of the Farmers Mutual Benefat Association, which s a very strong agricultural order in Illinois and other Northern: States. Probably a consolidation may be ef fected by the AlHanco with that or ganization at the coming convention, Being asked whether this convention would decide upon the propriety -of nominating and supporting a Presi dential ticket Mr. - TilluiRn replied : Certainly not. The Alliance is not a political body. It cannot go into partisan politics.- Its members may vote as t'.iev choo90, with either of the old parties or a new one, but it doosn't hold meetings to" set politi cal machinerv in- motion." Mr. W. F. Thomas, of Topeka, Kans., who is a railroad lawyer and not at all in avmoathv with the Al liance movement in his State, stated here that he regarded it as - certain that the Alliance .would support a Presidential ticket of their own next vear, and that unless a great "change of sentiment takes place they Roval Arch Masons Elect Of- , Seers.

In a conversation between a num ber of prominent Southern Demo crats here, among whom where Ex- Seuator Hampton and Representa tive Oates, it was: admitted that South Carolina, North Carolina, Ala bama and Georgia would in all prob ability cast their electorial votes for a third party, if the Farmers'- Alli ance, should formally - endorse the third party movement. Some of the gentlemen preser t thought that it should be the policy of the Demo-1 cratic party in the South to concili- ate and as far as possible work with the Alliance, but Mr. Oates and s.ev. eral others advocated making war upon the Alliance and everything it advocates, except the free coinage of silver. . The latest move in the Ohio Cam paign is much talked ot here, inas much as it involves a member of the Cabinet and presumably the' entire administration, and it is also . taken as an acknowledgement that the Al- iance opposition to Senator Sher man is too strong to be overcome. The move referred to is the semi-of ficial announcment that, in case of the withdrawal of Senator' Sherman, Secretary Foster is to become a can idate for the Senate in opposition to Gov. Foraker, that is, if the Republi cans succeed in electing a majority of the legislature In spite of the most positive de nials the Blaine people . still insist that many of the outrageous stories about Mr, Blaine's condition which have recently appeared in the news papers, have been originated "or in spired by friends of Mr, Harrison, 'or the purpose of killing ' off "Mr Blaine as a possible candidate, No one charges that. Mr. Harrison, who is generally believed to have had perfect - understanding about 'next year with Mr. Blaine, has had . any thing to do with this dirty business, but it must.be confessed that he has some very indiscreet; friends whose recent .actions cause them to be un der suspicion if they are not acually guilty. - , : The reorganization, of the Post- umce uepartment, wnicn was . com pleted this week, and which was, by the way, the first generalyTeorganiza' tion of the Department since Ll 84$, is expected to greatly expedite -bos iness, ana xur.. anamaKer .who is specially proud of his executive abil ity, is pleased to have at ' last sue ceeded in having .the work'of the De partraent divided npj: and "systema tized as he thinks it oght to be, in stead of being mixed up as he found it. .A special train" very handsomely decorated will leave here Sunday for Detroit carrying the invitation com mittee -which is. expected to suceed in persuading the G.VA.

When - a riot gots started there is no telling where they will stop.. The t officials ' (Chi nese) are doing-everything they can for protection. Two foreigffentle men, one a missionary and the other a custom house officer were stoned to death in one inland station.- Both of them . were Englishmen. There were three, ladies and four children iu the. place, but they escaped rafter very' rough treatment to a boat which happened to be passing.

While they were hunting for th?. men and stealing from the mis sion houses, the'ladies -fled to an of ficial's place, but were kicked but, then they went to another who was humane enough to take them in, bat the place was soon set on fire and they fled again.- By ' paying some Chinese, who lived in a small straw hut,-they were concealed in the back part until they could get - to - the steamer. The riot happened 'in . the night and the ladies fled just as they left their beds In their night clothes.
