Secretary Manning Waiting For the At torney General’* Decision, Hut the Chances Are Against an Authorization of Stopping Coinage—lo,ooo Appli cant* After 100 Oiiiceg. Washington, June 4.—The gold ques tion does not trouble the Secretary of the Treasury and the Treasurer now, nor will it for some time to come. The condition ol the gold in the Treasury is satisfactory, nd seems likely to become better. Hut the silver question gives the Secretary and the Treasurer a great deal of anxious thought. Both of these officers would tike to suspend the coinage of the stand ard silver dollars. In tact, every member of the administration from the President down believes that the coinage of the standard silver dollar at the rate of 2,000,- (KX) a month is a menace to the business interests of the country, and should be lummarilv stopped. TREASURER .IORDAN’S VIEWS. Treasurer Jordan goes farther than any other officer ot the government, and says that it ought to fie stopped at once. If be had bis way it would lie suspended from July 1 next. He would base this action upon the ground tnat Congress had made no appropriation lor the purchase of the silver necessary to the coinage of the re ijtiired $2,000,000 a month, and hence,the Treasury Department could not buy the bullion. He presented this proposition to Secretary Manning as soon as he entered upon the performance of his duties as Treasurer. MR. MANNING'S CONCLUSION. Secretary Manning considered that proposition f< r a time. Then be said that while he would like to suspend the coin age of die standard dollar, he did not think that be could lawfully do it in that way. Ho considered the terms of the law directing the coinage of the standard dollar at the rate of 2,000,000 a month im peratively mandatory upon him. He thought that it carried the implied au thority to buy the necessary bullion. But in order that the legal questions involved might lie authoritatively settled the Sec retary, it is understood, asked the opinion of the Attorney General upon them. IO SUSTAIN MR. MANNING. It is understood that this will be sub substantially the same as that expressed by Secretary Manning. So the Treasurer will go on buying silver bullion and the mints will go on coining silver dollars at the rate of 2,000,000 a month until Con gress acts on the matter. The only reform Treasurer Jordan has been able to institute in this connection is in the purchase of the bullion. He docs not rest content with the tirst prices at which silver is offered. He insists upon getting ft at as low a price as possible. 10,000 APPLICANTS. The State Department is preparing lor the President, ar. the latter’s request, a list of the foreign appointments made so far under this administration, together with a list of the vacancies in the foreign service, and a list of the desirable re movals. On tbe return ot Secretary Bayard next week some more foreign ap pointments may be expected. There are now 10.000 applicauts for foreign ap pointments. There are only about 400 places in all, and less than 100 vacancies. John H. J. Parrish has been commis sioned Postmaster at High Point, Ga. A JOKE ON HENDRICKS. A good story has just leaked out tore at the expense of Vice President Hendricks. Just after the inauguration Mr. Hendricks was asked to indorse Dr. Matthews, of Indiana, for an otliee. As the applicant was au old and intimate personal friend, he did so with pleasure. The affair passed out of his mind until he was requested to urge the immediate at tention cf the authorities to the matter. He replied to Dr. Matthews’ note, saying that he would attend to it at once. Then he tried his best to remember the office his friend was after, but, try as he might, he could not recall any incident which would give a solution to the problem. He thought the matter over carefully, and Anally made up his mind that it must be some office where the Doctor could serve the government in the practice of his pro fesion. So he went to the office of the tWigeon General of the Navy, and after w n ts to the Surgeon General of tbe Army, but these officers said that he had no: asked tor anything so far as they ini w. Finally he went over and had a talk with Surgeon General Hamilton of tbe Revenue Marine Hospital Service. IP. Hamilton told him that he had left no papers there, but he n bluil that possibly Appointment Clerk Biggins might know something about them. Mr. Hendricks said that he was 11 i urrv to get out of town, and would e Z/m it a personal favor if I)r. Hamilton Joiild see Mr. Higgins for him. Dr. Hamilton said he would, and the next hiy he culled. He was considerably sur prised and somewhat amused to Hod that tip -.m tiers and indorsements left by the vies President were documents urging the appointment of Dr. Matthews as Sur ge >u General ot the Revenue Marine Hospital Service. He has written Mr. le nilricks informing him of the facts in tun case, but has not, as yet, received a reply. f liarilios mill Correct ions.

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1885. CLUVEPJI’SFOUNDGUILTY MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE REPORTED IN 30 MINUTES. Cluverlus Hears the Verdict Without Dotraytng a Particle of Emotion— Nothing Better Than a Disagreement Expected by tho Crowd—A Motion for a New Trial Almost Certain. Richmond, Juno 4.—The twenty-sixth clay of the Cluverlus trial found the court room packed to the full extent of its con tracted capacity by a crowd eager to hear the closing argument of Charles Y. Mere dith, the chief prosecutor iu the case. Mr. Meredith began by complimenting and thanking tha Jury for their patience and attention during their long and try ing confinement in this case. He referred to the instructions given by tho court, and then read from authorities snowing that almost all the evidence is more or less circumstantial. Innocent men, he said, have not only been sacrificed on circumstantial evidence, but also on what is known in law as positive evidence. He explained the instructions in detail, and then wont on to sum up and comment on the positions taken by the defense as to the manner of the death ot the deceased. SUICIDE REFUTED. He combated the theory of suicide, so strongly advocated by the defense, and said that there was no doubt as to its ab surdity. Mr. Meredith then took up suc cessively the murder theory, the motive for the murder and the question of the se duction of the deceased by the prisoner, and discussed them at length and with great force. As the case draws to a close and the decision of his fate becomes a question of a few hours only, the prisoner seems tube more impressed with his terrible position. His seriousness and nervousness are pain fully apparent to-day. MR. MEREDITH'S LINK. Mr. Meredith occupied the afternoon session in going over the questions of Identity, the movements of the prisoner and the deceased on March 13, day and night, the torn note and its connection with the prisoner, and commenting upon, detailing and criticising the testimony of the witnesses at great length to show that it was not coincidence alone, but circum stantial evidence of the strougeßt kind. He concluded at 8:55 o’clock, having spoken nearly nine hours. His summing up and deductions were of the most for cible character, and his peroration was powerful and effective. He closed his remarks by asking for a verdict of mur der iu the first degree. The case was then given to the jury, and they retired. During their absence a squad of police tiled into court and was stationed in line immediately behind the prisoner. This precaution was deemed necessary by the court to prevent any demonstra tion iu the event of a verdict being ar rived at. The court room was more densely thronged than at any time since the commencement ot the trial. SPECULATION ON THE VERDICT. An immense crowd filled the hallway ot tbe building, and the street outside tbe court was almost impassable. The sub dued hum of voices could be heard throughout the court room, and much speculation was indulged in regarding the result of the jury’s deliberation, sen tinunt being divided between a verdict of guilty and inability of thejury to agree. No one seemed to believe in a verdict of acquittal. At !):26 o’clock City Sergeant Lee in a low tone informed Judge Atkins that the jury had agreed and were pre paring their verdict. This was soon known throughout the court room, and almost every eye was turned on the pris oner, who was sitting quietly in his usual place near his counsel. RETURN OF THE JURY. At 0:30 o’clock tbe jury Hied into the court room and took their seats. A deathly stillness pervaded the crowded room. Clerk Layton polled the jury and then put tbe question: “Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?” Foreman Keppler replied that they had. The prisoner was then told to stand up, which he did, looking straight ahead and seemingly unmoved. The clerk asked: “Gentlemen of the jury, what say you, is the prisoner guilty or not guilty of the ielony charged in the indictment?” Foreman Keppler—“Guilty.” The Clerk tnen took the indictment and read the indorsement thereon. “We, the jury, find the prisQner guilty of murderin' the first degree, as charged in the Indictment.” CLUVERIUB STOICAL. The prisoner then sat down, but to all outward appearance was as unmoved as at any time since hi* arrest. When the verdict became known outside there was some clapping ot hands and a few shouts, but this was soon quieted by the police. Judge Atkins asked tbe prisoner’s coun sel it they had any motion to make, but Judge Crump requested that' the court lie adjourned until to-morrow, so that they might have time to decide on their course of action. This win ac cented, and tbe court at 10 o’clock ad journed until to-morrow morning, when, it is well understood, a motion for anew trial will tie made. ABE BUZZARD HURREXDER4.

In his own town Frank Jones wanted both the Collector and Post master to be Democrats of his own selec t ion,aiul a Postmaster was ni. pointed some time ago. Mr. Howard could rot very woil be removed without comment, and so Mr. Jones, who is his intimate friend, offered if he would resign to put ail his (.Lines’) insurance business for his large real estate interests in Mr. Howard's hands. This is worth more than the Col lectorsblp. and Mr. Howard accepted the offer, thus accommodating Mr. Jones and bettering himself.

ItESISTMENTOF TAXATION HOUGHTON’S CITY TREASURER LOSES A CASE IN COURT. Marcu* Oppenheiuier Shows That. Hl* Warehouse Full of the Filthy Weed Was Subject to the Laws Governing Inter-State Commerce-- Liability of the Treasurer of Stole at Stake. Madison. Wis., June 4.—Judge Har lan, of tu United States Supreme Court, lists been hero listening to iirgumuuts In tbe ease of Marcus Oppanhoimer H-aiuat Jenn.!, Niisttt, Treasurer of tho ci'y of Ho.i: nt one Thu complaint set* up that the plaintiff, a citizen ot Now Yo. k, bus been for several years engaged in buying tobacco in the vioinitv of Hough ton, and particularly during last winter, for the sole purpose of transporting it to New York, and in order to properly transport it It Is neces sary to sort it and pack it in boxes for shipment; that for these purposes be had u warehouse in Houghton in which it was sorted, packed and kept until it could lie conveniently transported to Now York, to be there sold nnd manufactured; that while a large quantity of such tobacco was lying in the warehouse awaiting transportation, and kept there for no other purpose, it was taxed by tbe local au thorities, and the defendant afterward collected the tax, knowing that. It was illegal, under a protest that the tax was unconstitutional and void, on the ground that such tobacco, when taxed, wit* part, of the commerce ot the country in transit from State to state, and had no status for taxation in Wisconsin, THE ACTION FOR RECOVERY. Action was brought to recover from the Oity Treasurer tho money so collected by him and paid to him under protest. A general demurrer to this complaint whs interposed by which two questions were raised. The first was whether the City Treasurer could be held for the money collected by him, or whether the action should not have been against the city of Houghton, of which ho wrs Treasurer. The second question whs whether the tobacco whs taxable. The court held, Justice Harlan delivering the opinion, that upon the first question the Judges were unable to agree, Judge llurlan inclining to the opinion that, the defendant is liable and Judge Bunn being of a different opinion. This objeotlon was, therefore, overt tiled. On the other point, whether the tobacco was taxable,jit waa agreed by both Judges that the allegations ot the complaint are sufficient, to sliow that the tobacco is not taxable, being In effect in course of transportation and a subject of inter-3tate commerce not taxable by any State. The demurrer was, therefore, overruled. ANNAFQLW GHAIM AT .s,- I. of the Graduating Clnos, With the Mon Who Took the Houqr*.
