HOW DON CAMERON DID EVART8. Washington, October 25.—It appears Evarts said to Don Cameron that the English mission should go to Pennsyl vania, and asked him to name the man, the soheme being that he should name MaoYeigh. Don, however, having his father in view, referred the matter to the Pennsylvania delegation. They selected Simon. The selection does not appear to be agreeable to Mr. Hayes. neither spoffobd nor eustis TO BE SEATED. The apprehension is becoming oppres sive that the Senate will not seat either Spofford or Eustis. Some Republicans, not wishing to have Kellogg and Pinoh- baok thrust down their throats, favor allowing Louisiana to have her sober sec ond thought. It is not beyond possibility that the question will be postponed until the people elect u new Legislature. It is asserted, however, with- some positive- cess, that the majority report of the corn- mittee will follow what Morton had out lined, which, if adopted seats Kellogg. The temptation to make the worse appear the better reason is great, as on it ascen* nancy in the Senate for at least three years depends. THE DBEARY STORY TO BE REHEARSED. The Committee on Privileges and Eleotions have decided to go into the merits of Spofford and Kellogg. This involves, it is understood, a full rehears ing of the dreary story. KING TO BE NOMINATED. Seoretary Sherman is quoted that the President would ultimately send King’s name to the Senate as Collector of Cus toms at New Orleans. REPUBLICANS AND UNDERSTANDING WITH HAYES. An adjourned Senate to Monday is confirmatory of a determination of the Republicans not to act on nominations until an understanding is reached with the Ezeoutive. CLERKS ALLOWED TEN DAYS IN PENNSYL VANIA AND NEW YORK. Washington, October 25.—The Secre tary of War grants his clerks ten dayH leave to go to Pennsylvania and New York for voting purposes, not to be de ducted from their regular vacation. ENGLISH MISSION WAITING ON PENNSYLVA NIA ELECTION. The Star says : It is now said, in view of the embarrassment in which the Penn* sylvania delegation have plaoed the Pres ident with reference to the English mis sion, that no name to succeed Pirrepont will be sent to the Senate until after the November elections. It must not do any thing to offend Pennsylvania just now, nor will it prove acceptable to give Came ron the plaoe. DEMOCRATS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL COMMIT TEE. Bayard, Thurman and Morgan are the Democrats of the committee of seven to mature a mode of declaring the President and Vice President. GORDON NOT AT BALTIMORE.

The men decline to resume work unless the em ployers guarantee to revise the standard lists,and change the basis of readjustment before February 1st next. The employers will consider this condition at a meeting to day. A strong effort was made on behalf of the employers to induce the spinners’ meeting on Tuesday night to the acceptation of a redaction unconditional" ly; bnt an amendment to that effect was rejected by an overwhelming majority. Staffordshire colliers are now voting whether they will acoept the redaction insisted on by proprietors. As far as re turns are known a large majority are against acceptance. Five thousand col liers are now idle, and two thousand more go out on Saturday. The result of the voting will be announced to-day. STRIKE ENDED.

The same owners’ bay, Final, won the Bullingham handicap, for which eight horses contested. The favorites for both events failed to obtain places. CONCILIATION LOOKS IMPRACTICABLE. London, October 25.—The French sit uation is unchanged. The Fort organs continue to declare that the Marshal will not submit nor the ministers resign. Le Soloil again to-day urges neutral concessions. The Republiqve Francaise rejects all idea of conciliation. It says: “The resignation of the ministry will not be sufficient, nevertheless it is believed that influential members of the Left are re solved on a moderate course.” Gambetta will deliver a speech next week at the American oircus.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Paris, October 25.—The Moniteur, re ferring to tho recent statement in the Constitutional that President MaoMahon, in the contingency of.tbe defeat of the present Ministry, and of a conciliation Ministry which ho might form to sucoeed it, would again dissolve the Chamber of Deputies and submit the question of his resignation to a sort of plebiscite, de clares that the President has at no time contemplated a resort to a plebiscite. The Univers, Legitimist, alluding to the reoent utteranoe* of the Soleil, Or- leanist, asks whether that journal has adopted its moderate tone with the view of paving the way for the election of the Duke D’Aumale to the Pieaidenoy of the Republic. The Uuivers says rumors to this effect have been current. The Duke DeCazes, speaking at Nice, made an appeal for conciliation among political parties. M. Gambetta has made a speech in Ni core in support of Republican candidates, The faot that throughout bis speech he avoided all allusion to President MoMa> bon has attracted some attention. Ren&tor Morion’* Condition Letts Hopeful. Oinoinnatti, Ootober 25 —A speoial from Indianapolis says Dr. Bliss, who is attending Senator Morton, does not now- feel very hopeful of his immediate improvement. He has eaten little or nothing for nearly a month, and it iB feared he will literally starve to death. The change in the treatment has been decided on and medical skill will now be direoted to infusing nourishment into the system. YELLOW FEVER. Conductors’ Invurunce Assoc lntlon Special to Enquirer-Sun,] Atlanta, Ga., Ootober 25.—The Con ductors’ Insurance Association began their tenth annual convention to-day.

ACIrcular Pronounced a Forgery New York, Ootober 25.—A forged cir cular, purporting to be signed by me, has been extensively circulated among the newspapers, asking for the insertion of paid editorial on tho Greenback move meat.

Expelled From the Jesuits. London, Ootober 25.—Several dis patches from Rome assert the General of the Jesuits by the Pope’s order has ex pelled from sooiety, Father Oruci, editor of the Uivitta Catholic, and both as a sacred orator and writer heretofore re garded one of the brightest ornaments of the Jesuit order and the Roman Church. Father Crnci’s offeue j was maintaining that the temporal power is not necessary to the well being of the Church. He says he intends to publish a full acoount of his differences with the Vatican, dating from 1871. # O’Brien Against Morrissey. New York, Ootober 25.—John Morris sey has finally secured the nomination in the 7th Senatorial district of all the anti- Tammany organizations except one. Ex-Sheriff O’Brien is resolved to run against him. THE WAR OR HAYES. undismayed by the efforts to break HIM DOWN. Washington spooiul to the Cincinnati Commercial The President is as imperturbable as a disinterested spectator could be. He is entirely satisfied that he is doing that whioh is for the best interests of the whole country, and foelB that if the Republican party does not support him it will be un fortunate for the party. He has no favors to ask of tho party, but will continue to administer bis office aB he sees fit,without regard to the consequences to himself or tho party. The vigor of the fight that is opening on Scburz may be estimated by the amount of damage ho has done to the rings that have been robbing the people in the name of God and the Republican party. The most bitter denunciations come from the men whose thieving has been abruptly ended. Then Scburz is charged with almost the entire responsibility of the President’s civil service reform, and the fellows who buve been heretofore elected to Congress by Federal patronage, and who have no hope of securing a re-eleotion without that patronage, are determined to have his scalp. Altogether it is clearly apparent that the main effort to break the President down is now being mude, and that it will not be prolonged for any length of time. The question to be solved is whether the President shall yield to the party, or the party shall yield to the President. The President is amply secure in making the fight, and has the backbone, and will, therefore, bring the party to his support. This will be the end to it all, sooner or later. The Republican popular majority at the French elections appears from the returns to have been 538,828 votes, they polling 4,273,127 votes aud the MaoMahonitea 3,734,299 votes. At the eleotion in Feb" ruary, 1876,the Republicans polled 4,316,* 127 votes, the Monarchists 1,507,824 votes, and the Bonapartists 1,370,715 voles, giving the Republicans a majority over all of 1,431,588. This shows that at tho late ©lection the Republicans lost 892,760 votes. So much for the power of the machine in French politics, although these figures may in the future be amend ed iu favor of the Republicans. They have a majority of about 130 iu the Chamber, but it remains to be seen what it will Kvail them under the present system of Govern men». ▲ 2IEW THEORY OF RAILROAD MAN AUGMENT* Col. W. R. Arthur, General Managor of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South ern railroad, has given Rome new and startling theorios relative to railroads and systems of railroads in this country, whioh are reported as follows in the St. Louis Republican; The failure of many railways may be found largely in the fact of their not con forming iu location and construction to laws governing the direction of trade. There are other causes for financial failure —suob as mismanagement, extravagant construction, and the building of lines not required by the demands of commerce— whioh are not only necessarily failures iu themselves, but embarrasss legitimate en terprises. The traffic of this continent seeks great centers, and lines of commu nication between these centers are neces sary, and can be made useful and profita ble. Any others will bo of local acoom- modation and convenience merely, aud seldom direotly remunerative. Excep tions may exist where large local produc tions are found. The direction of traffio is from the producing to the consuming points. In so great an extent of territory many centres will be or are established for con venience of transacting business, and whioh are determined by physical or geographical advantages. The great centres of concentration for consumption and exportation for the agricultural pro* ducts of the couutry are New York, Phila delphia, Boston and Baltimore. These are the great systems of railways of tho country. There are other n^ior points for exportation of tho special products of the South. Theso major points are also centers for the collection of merchandise and manufactures for distribution. The great coutres for collection and distribution in transit would be St. Louis, Ohioago, Pittsburg and Buffalo. There are subordinate centres (I mean centres of railway systems), such as Milwaukee, Kansas City, Indiauapolis aud Louisville. To these centres systems of transporta tion belong. The west aud northwest of the south end of Lake Michigan belong to Ohioago; the west and southwest of St. Louis to St. Louis; for tho South to Lou isville aud Indianapolis beoome the cul minating centre of the Southern system. The Milwaukee system is subordinate to Chicago; Kansas City to St. Louis. Pittsburg and Buffalo are secondary and common to all the others. Any line of road from the center of one system into or across another will bo worked at a dis advantage. A conflict will follow which will result disastrously to the invader. Lines between centers ore necessary and can be made profitable. Lines from Chicago to the Southwest, or from St. Louis to the Northwest, under the present condition of the navigation at the mouth of the Mississippi river, will labor under great disadvantages. Lines southeast from Chicago or northeaHt from St. Louis, not connecting directly with one of the centers named, will be alike unfortunate. Lines southeast from St. Louis or Kansas City will not meet with success. Lines from Louisville or IndianapoiiH connect ing with the Southwest system at any point south of St. Louis will do so with great'odds against them. There are other inferior centers and systems to whioh the same rales will apply. The correctness of the foregoing asser tions, if not appnrent, are of easy dem onstration from the laws of trade or tho practical workings of existing lines. It would be invidious to inHtance examples, but a moment’s reflection by tho well- informed will enable them to point out the lines not in aocord with the center system. Capital should Avoid all lines not in harmony with systems. Boldness of enterprise, with boldness as its only merit, will hardly conquer or achieve suc cess. PLUNDERING 111' POLICY. SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME OF POLICY — PERCENTAGE OF CHANCES. The New York Tribune, in a recent is sue, gives the following expose of the “polioy” business : The mazes of policies are not known to the general public. Few games are so well devised for a sure loss to tho player, even when played houestly, and the more influential sellers make tbiH assurance doubly certain by playing it to suit them selves. Policy is dependent upon the lottery business, which is carried on as follows: The managers issue a plansable and seduotive scheme, which Ik exten sively advertised. They then place, as a general ru e, seventy-five numbers in tho wheel, and draw out twelve, iu accord ance with the provisions of the scheme, according to which, nlso, the tickets are decided. Both tho lottery aud polioy tickets which win are determined by the numbers drawn from the wheel, the difference between them being that the former are sold at a stipulated price, whioh appears in tho scheme, aud are printed, while policy tickets are written on small pieoeB of paper, and sold from one cent to $100, to suit the pocket of the purchaser. The following table of agents’ rates will give some insight into the working of policy. The words “gig,” “saddles,” ‘horses,” aud “day number" are “pro fessional” terms, their relative values being given in the combination table.

Fifty coun ties have given Democratic majorities; thirty-seven have given Republican ma jorities, and in one county (Hardin) the vote was a tie. The votes cast by the National, Temperance and Workingmen parties aggregate less than 35,000, falling far below the figures some of the san guine leaders of these parties anticipated. Gov. Bishop received 19,060 votes less than were oast for Gov. Allen in 1875, and West received 48,786 less than were oast for Gov. Hayes iu 1875.

The Washington correspondent of the Inter-Ocean telegruphs to that paper as follows: It is said that the President had decided to appoint Gen. Lougstreet Marshal of Georgia, but {Stephens, Hill, Gordon and other Georgians protested, beeuuso Long- street was a reoreant C mfederate, aud sustained the last Administration. After the war was closed Lougstreet who owned a plantation iu Georgia, went to New Or leans as President of an Insurance Com pany, and joined the Republican party. In a speech before the Senate, some time ago, Senator Morton told an interesting bit of history in connection with that faot. He said that after Lee’s surrender Lee himself, with Lougstreet, Beau regard, Jonnston and oilier Con federate Generals agreed to re cognize the viotory oi the North by joining the Republican party, and Long- street was selected to make the move" ment first, as an experiment, to see how the Southern people were affected. Long- street, who was thon president of an insu rance company, consequently asked for the removal of his disabilities and sought an office under President Grant, but the Democrats, as soon as he accepted an office ia the custom house at Now Orleans, ostracised him completely, withdrew their support from his insurance company, which failed soon after, aud Beauregard and the others declined to follow bis ex ample. Losing his office in the custom house, and being completely deserted by his old friends iu New Orleans, Lougstreet went back to his plantation in Georgia where he has been living for the last three years. The ex-Confederatea dislike him because ho was the first of their prominent men to join tho Republican party. 20 make 1,140 By comparing the seventh line of the first table with the second lino of the combination—the most common form in use—it will be seen that whore seventy- five numbers are put iu the wheel and twelve withdrawn, if tho player guesses their numbers correctly aud buys the “gig” for $1, he gets $221; or if ho buys threo “saddles” he is entitled to $32, while if he chooses a “day” number, he will reoeive $5. By increasing tho risk the ratio iu winning numbers is corres pondingly increased. Lottery managers have always opposed the policy business, and have tried all sorts of experiments to suppress it. But policy lives and thrives, while lotteries are scarcely paying interest upon in vestments. The constantly increasing frauds attending the manipulation of lotteries are gradually opening tho eyes of the publio to their dishonest obarao- ter. Meanwhile, quarrels aud lawsuits are ponding in Kentucky, which nre likely to put an end to all franchises and stop the legalizing of lotteries for ever. Tlio Colorado Contest. Washington special to Cincinnati Enquirer.] Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, who is now here contesting tho seat claimed by Bel- ford, will present a remarkably Htroug ease to the House. Ho has in his posses* sion a certified copy of the correspond enoe that passed between the Department of Justice aud the Marshal of Colorado, who wrote to the Department in Septem ber, 1876, asking for a mouth’s leave of absenoe. Tho Department replied that he could not bo relieved until aftor the elections. When the October elections were over he again wrote, and was an swered that on election for Congressmen would be held according to law on No vember 7, aud it was of great importance for him to bo on tho ground. He learned, in a few days aftor receiving this reply, that the State Republican Committee had concluded not to run Bolford in Novem ber, thinking bis election in October to the Forty-fourth Congress would answer all tho purposes of an election to tho Forty-fifth, and requested that in view of this fact his leave might be granted. The Department again replied, stating that under the law tho Congressmen of the Forty-fifth must be elected iu Novem ber, and ho would be expeeted to bo on hand until that was over. Mr. Patterson also has a deposition from tho Republican Governor of Colorado, stating that he does not believe Bolford was elected ac~ cording to law, and the Secretary of State issued a circular foT the election of a Con gressmen in November. Belford was not voted for, and Patterson was. It is be lieved be will gain his seat. BAHNU.Tl'N BARGAIN. HE BUIS A HALF INTEREKT IN THE PETRIFIED MAN. A St. Joseph, Mo., special to tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: “G. A. Wells, P. T. Barnum’s agent, to-day bought a half interest in the Pue blo (Col.) petrified giant for $15,0(H). Prof. J. K. Taylor, analytical chemist, of Bridgeport, Conn., with Prof. E. R. Paige, scientist, of Council Bluffs, made a scientific analysis of portions of tho body, boring into the head and chest, finding perfect cube crystals in the center of both, which, under chemical analysis, showed oxidization of iron, pronounced by these gentlemen perfect proof of gen* uine petrifaction. Prof. Paige says the wonder is a more perfect embodiment of Darwin s theory of evolution than Darwin ever gave.” Fino Millinery cheap, at Lees New Store, 102 Broad street. oc2l lw|| Special dispatch to tho Chicago Tribune.] Washington, D. O., Oot. 22. The aocount of the conference of Re publicans at Secretary Sherman’s house on Saturday night can be supplemented by the following detailed statements of the speeches of the different, gentlemen. Seoretary Sherman had very little to say, aud nothing in reference to the Southern policy, lie urged upon those present that it iH important that tho Re publican members should call upon the President aud talk freely with him. He thought it would be n serious mistake for them if (hey should absent them selves habitually on acoouut of their dis* satisfaction. In answer to the expressions of dissatisfaction with Civil-Service order and its operation, SECRETARY SHERMAN INSISTED that tho order had boon misinterpreted and misunderstood. Iu this he was warmly seconded by Garfield aud Foster, each taking tho position that tho President’s intention was not to pre vent office-holders from taking a properly active part in tho campaign after tho Con vention hnd put a tickot in tho field. Gen. Cox, of Ohio, defended the Presi dent, indiouted his cordial support of his entire policy, and argued that the Presi dent had simply carried to thoir practical effect the principles enunciated iu the Republican platform und iu his letter of acceptance. At this point he was inter rupted by Frye, of Maine, who asked Gen. Cox to point to that plank in tho platform, or that olnuse of tho letter of .oooptauce whioh foreshadowed tho ap pointment of an ex-Confederato and life long Democrat to a Cabinet position. Mr. Crepo, of Massachusetts, indicated his support to the President, both in his {Southern polioy and in his civil-service order. Frye, of Maine, i-poko in very strong terms in condemnation of the Southern policy, and as to the President’s Civil Sorvioe Reform declares there was nothing iu it. Hale confined his remarks obit-fly to tho real subject before the meeting, nnmely, the treatment of the anticipated Democratio resolution. NEITHER GARFIELD NOR FOSTER had much to say in reference to the Southern policy, but occupied thoniHelves chiefly with the discussion of avoiding split in the party upon any vote which the Democrats might force. Martin I. Towuseud, of New York, said he had felt very kindly towards the Presi dent, und had desired to support him cor dially, but that bo had become impressed by the reports which he had read from the time that the President regarded tnem* hers of Congress unfavorably, and that us he was considered a tolerably honest and respectable man at home, ho did not care to introduce himself nt I ho White House, whore he could not be certain of the standing which ho occupied. GEN. BUTLER spoke with great earnestness in regard to tho importance to tho country of uphold* ir.g and continuing tho Republican party. Speaking of it as tho hope of (ho country, ho took the position that tho great object of Republicans should bo to insure its success. His remarks in rogard to civil servioe reform wore directed to Gen. Cox’s speech upon that subject, and wore FILLED WITH SNEERS at this portion of tho policy. In rogard to that part of Cox’s speech, in which ho declared that tho President was in full sympathy with the party, and only desired its good, Danford, of Ohio, asked what evidence there wns that the President sincerely desired the good of the party in his selection of a Cabinet, in which there were at least throe members who did not core a straw what beenme of the Republican party, alluding to Evarts, Sehurz and Key. Cox, iu his reply to this, declared it to bo unfair to assume that theso gentlemen wore not in accord with the parly and that thoy did not desire its success. THORNBURG, OF TENNESSEE, said that (he Republicans of that section were utterly disheartened, that there was no lougor a Republican organization iu tho State, that thoy had no representative in the Cabinet, and that they were obliged, when socking anything in connection with the Postoffioe Department,to go over the head of that Department to the Prosi* dent himself, and that Sontborn Republi cans would not confer direotly with tho PostmnBter General. At this point, Blair, of Now Hampshire, inquired of Thornburg whether, when thoy had visited tho President, they had received any satisfaction from him, and whether they hnd ever been able to obtain what thoy wanted. Thornburg said thoy never had been. GANNON, OF ILLINOIS, reported that there was a very general feeling among tho Republicans of his State that tho President had not properly carod for those to whom he owed his elec tion, and thero was very groat dissatisfac tion as to his troatmont of Southern Re publicans. Dnnnoll, of Minnesota, stated that the Republicans of his State wore not cordial towards tho President. Conger, of Michigan, expressed tho opinion that, in his State, the Republican feeling was that tho policy of tho Presi dent toward tho South must bo accepted a matter of faot, and as something ich it was now impossible to remedy, and that, in regard to tho civil service order, at least nine-tenths of the Michi gan Republicans disapprove of it totally. THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION met at Senator Oglesby’s rooms to oonfer on tho political situation and upon the probable action of the House. Cannon and Burchard, who wore present at the mooting nt Sherman’s house, stated to the Illinois delegation tho substance of what occurred there. There was a very marked lack of unity in the delegation. The woro great differences of opinion as to what the proper action should bo in re spect to any resolutions the Democrats may present. If the delegation had been required to vote as to the Southern policy, they would undoubtedly have supported it, with the possible exception of two persons, but, us to indorsing the policy including the civil service order, they were to take any ste s toward expressing his approval of the Administration. There was a suggestion that the Republican party could best be served by allowing the members of it entire freedom of ao- tion, and the delegation adjourned with*! out really having come to any definite decision. Aldrioh will stand first of the delegation on the roll-call, and some in dication will be had of their intention to follow him. If Aldrich votes at all, he undoubtedly will vote to indorse the President. The Illinois delegation left the subjeot open to ascertain the results of the meetings of other State delega- tions. The desire of the delegation was that the extra session shonld be restricted to the business for which it was called, and that no time should be spent in guess ing the political conundrums which might be pressed by the Demoorata. THE IOWA DELEGATION unanimously agreed not to vote upon any political resolution introduced by the Democrats. It is not certain that the Democrats intend to introduce any. THE MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATION. Among other State Republican delega- tions the Republican Representatives from Massachusetts met on Saturday night in the parlor of Orapo, Wormley’s Hotel. Gen. Butler narrated what had transpired at the meeting at Seoretary Shormun’s and said that should the Dem ocrats introduce a resolution approving the President’s policy, the Republicans could take one of three courses, viz: Re frain from voting, vote aye, or vote no. For himself, he should vote no. Gen. Banks said that he shonid vote no, and that it would be nonsense to follow Dem ocratic lead. Dr. Loring said that he should give an affirmative vote on any resolution endorsing the President, let it come from auy quarter it might. Grapo, Field and Robinson agreed with Loring, and Rice partially. After a thorough in terchange of views, A RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED declaring that the Republican Represen tatives should vote against any suspension of the rules asked by the Democrats for the introduction of a political question into what should be a business session. No other conclusion was reaohed, but Banka, Butler and Orapo, the old mem bers, wore appointed a oommittee to oon fer with Representatives from other States, and it was determined that it would be well for the Massachusetts del egation to meet frequently for consulta tion. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. New York, Ootober 1st, 1877. I have devoted twenty years of patient study to the Liver and its relations to the human body, in search of a remedy whioh wonld restore it, when diseased, to ita normal condition. The result of that la- bor has been the production of TUTT’K LIVER PILLH. Their popularity has beoome so extended and the demand so great as to induce un scrupulous parties to counterfeit them, thereby robbing me of the reward, and the afflicted of thoir virtues. TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC, and protect them from vile impositions, I have adopted a new label, which bears my trade-mark and notioe of its entry in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, also my signature, thus : ■WTo Counterfeit this is forgery. Before purchasing, examine the label closely. THE GENUINE TUTT’B PILLS exert a peculiar influence on the system. Their action is prompt, and their good efloots are felt in a few hours. A quar ter of a century of study of the Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater in fluence over the system than any other or gan of tho body, and when diseased the entire organism is deranged. It is speci ally for the healing of this vital organ that I have spent so many years of toil, . and having found the remedy, which has proved tho greatest boon ever furnished the afflicted, shall they be deprived of its benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up on them ? Let the honest people of America see TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED: Scrutinize the label closely, see that it hears all the marks above mentioned, and buy tho medicine only from respectable dealers. It can bo found everywhere. Very respectfully, W. H. TUTT. tf NEW SAMPLES MUCH LESS UNITED. Aldrioh seemed disposed to vote for tho polioy entire, aud desired party unity.
