The department desires the an nouncement to come to the knowledge of all the postmasters in the service that the failure of postmasters to make reports, deposits or accounts after notice will be ground for removal without further inquiry. OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP. The Postmasters at Winona, Minn., Osceola and Laporte City, la.. North Manchester, Ind., Cambridge, 0., Au gnsta, Ga., and Balston, N. Y., were sus pended upon proofs ol acts of partisan ship while in office. These acts were of various kinds. Some were editors as well as postmasters, ami their newspapers in some cases, since as well as before the election, have continued scurrilous and indeoent attacks upon officers of the gov ernment, as well as malignancy of politi cal feeling towards tluHt' adversaries in general. ■ FAVORING PARTY LITERATURE. In some cases it has also been estab lished that tlie Postmasters kept hanging in the post offices political placards of one political party and refused to permit those of the other to be there displayed, these placards being sometimes indecent pic tures or cartoons unfit for the eye of re spectable persons. In -other cases Post masters were shown to have been efficient political agents of their party, members of working committees and leaders of its organizations, well known in the community as such, and taking particu lar part in the conduct of election busi ness, often to the impairment of their per lormance of the duties of office. In seve ral of the cases political notices, circu lars and newspapers of the opposite po litical party were shown to have been de tained in tlie post office. PAYMASTER SMITH’S CASE.

Petersburg, Va., June 10.—Informa tion has been received through reliable private sources from several southern counties of Virginia to the effect that the crop prospects are better than they have been for years. Cotton is ten or fifteen days in advance of what it was last year at this time. The oat crop is good. Corn looks green and vigorous on all lands not too wet for cultivation. A few more days of good weather will insure the destruction of grass, which has grown rapidly during tho recent seasonable weuther. Wheat on red lands Is inferior, but on light lauds is very wood, and if not injured by rust the crop will bo au aver age one. There is a better stand of to bacco, and a larger crop has been planted than for many years. Altogether the crop outlook la very encouraging.

CLCVERIUS IS HIS CELL THE MOTION FOR ARREST OF JUDGMENT NOT YET HEARD. Disappointment, of the Crowd Which Collected in Anticipation of the Pro- Aoudcluk of Sttittenoe - Flowern Daily Heut to tho Priaouer—Hi* Aunt's Faith In His Innocence. Richmond, Va., June 16.—The case of T. J. Oluverius, the convicted murderer of Lillian Madison, came up again to-day in the Hustings Court on a inotiou of arrest of judgment, but the hearing was further postponed until Friday next, tho oounsel for the prisoner not having fin ished their examination of the record in the caßo. There was an immense crowd present in anticipation ol the pronouncing of the death sentence and the scenes Inci dent thereto. THE PRISONER IN II IB CELL. For the past few days bouquets of flow ers have adorned the ceil of Thomas J. Cluverius, in tho city jail. Several senti mental ladies have sent the young man flowers to ebeer him up and make him feel that he had a few friends in the world who at least pitied him. The prison offi cials carefully examine the boxes and bouquets of flowers sent the condemned man. The other day a strange man ap plied at the jail for permission to see the prisoner. “1 have a box of (lowers for him,” be explained. He was told that he could not see the prisoner, but if he would leave the flowers they would be delivered. He said that he must deliver the flowers himself, but being deuied that privilege, he took the flowers away w ith him. Cluverius spends most of his time in reading. Lately he has also been doing some writing, arranging a little law busi ness. His practice at the bar was quite limited, though tor a young lawyer he had fair prospects. Counsel for defense have been almost daily in receipt from Phila delphia of transcribed sheets of the steno graphic report of the oase, and for a week Mr. Beverley Crump has been steadily at work condensing the matter for the bills of exception. THE NEW TRIAL. As to whether the prisoner will get a new trial Horn the Supreme Court of Ap peals there is a division of opinion among lawyers here. Counsel for the defense, the prisoner and the prisoner’s brother feel very hopeful, not to say confident. While the admissibility of “the torn note” is a leading point, it Is not the only point upon which the defense rely. There are numerous pieces of evideuce the admis sion of which they objected to, but which Judge Atkins allowed—erroneously they think. All the chances are that the ap peal will not be heard by the Supreme Court until they meet here in November. It is possible, but not probable, that the case will be otherwise. Anxiety, imprisonment and the hot weather are beginning to-have an effect on Cluverius. He no longer smiles in that peculiar wav of his when accused of murder. He continues to appear calm in the presence of the prison officials, but his former air of indifference is gradually giving away to a look of deep anxiety. He frequently does not rest well at night, his sleep not being sound. His meals come from a eookshop kept by a colored man, and all that he does not eat he gives to his fellow-prisoners. He has very little appetite. MRS. TUNSTAI-L’S GRIEF. Mrs. Jane Tunstall, the prisoner’s aunt, still remains here in the city, and visits him daily. Many are the tears the poor old lady sheds over this her “dear, dear boy.” In hor letter to his Honor Judge Atkins she no doubt expressed the true state of her feelings—faith in the innocence of the young man, both of se duction and murder. Her idea Is that the prisoner is the victim of the machina tions or old man Madison, Lillian’* lath er; but she had no proof, no suggestions of evidence obtainable, and Judge Atkins could not act on her letter. It was writ ten to beg and pray and entreat him to give her “dear boy” a now trial; but it afforded the Judge no basis ot action, and that very morning when the letter was received he overruled the motion for anew trial. Mrs. Tunstall’s mind is no doubt rooted and grounded in tho belief that Lillian committed suicide. MURDER OF AN INFANT. A Wife Kills Her Hueband’a Illegiti mate Offspring. Columbia, 8.
