Geo. A. Sheridan, of Louisi ana, has an office under the Post office Department. A. M. Gibson, correspondent of the New York Sun, alluding to the letter which Gen. Garfield pronounces a forgery, says: ‘‘The letter written to Gen.

Key arrives to-morrow. Col. White has resigned the Col- ' lectorship of the port of Richmond, Yl. The Biiiler-'McVelgli correspond ence has given the Louisiana Mar shalship a scandalous interest. The Stay says : Jack Wharton, as an ap plicant for the Louisiana Marshal ship, is in the city. The President Is willing to give Wharton the place when Pitkin, the present incumbent, resigns, and be has requested that gentleman’s resignation. Titkin re fuses to resign. It is held that the Custom House investigation and directions by the Executive to collectors, suggested by the commissioners who have no legal existence,is more or less an important interference with the legal rights and duties of collectors. The Presi dent may nominate or suspend col lectors, but the delays of the opera tions are clearly defined by acts of Congress, and tire properly, it is claimed, beyond Presidential inter ference. mne ofphial kiich.itt I MarulMli rharielnsr Enoh Other • frith Corruption.

Gov ernment, iiad a healing to-day, and was coin mi lied to jail in default of $5,000 bail. He says he wishes his trial in Washington, as he was ar rested on charges made by Marstial It. M.

Douglass is the son-in law of U. S. District Judge, Dick, be fore whom he would have to be tried. Ho says that he will make a clean breast of everything at the proper time. Detective Hester, of the Depart ment of .7ustiee, represents the dis covery of extensive frauds in the office of Marshal Douglass of North Carolina. Before leaving North Car olina, Hester arrested the chief clerk and chief accountant of the Marshal’s office. It is stated frauds have been going on several years.

Washington, June 4.—Dispatches from all quarters report devotional exeieises in celebration of Corpus Ohrisii and the Pope's golden anni versary. At St. Louis seventy or eighty societies," gaily dressed in baudsome uniforms and regalia, with forty bands, were in the line of procession.

The Prince of Montenegro has gone to the Duga Pass. Bucharest, June 3.— The Czar and Czauvitch and Grand Duke Vladi mer have arrived here. Their recep tion by the public was respectful,not cordial. Berlin, June 4.—lt is reported from Vienna that the Russians’ pro gramme in the conclusion of peace will be self-Government for Russia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria and the Chri stians of Lebanon, a European Com mission of Central European garrri sou for some time, and the cession of territory in America. London, June 4.—The Time* says the report that Russian monitors had succeeded in forcing the Sulina mouth of the Danube is unconfirmed. There may therefore be some inac curacy. It seems too much to sup pose that the Turks left the Sulina mouth unguarded. Some of the flat bottomed Russian monitors, which are supposed to be in Readiness at Nicolaev, may have made their way down and succeeded in passing over the bar. London, June 4.-—The Daily Tele graph’s Bucharest dispatch says: In formation received by this Govern ment leadß to the belief that Istnan Pasha intends attacking Kalafat iu force. The Daily Net vs has a Bucharest dispatch saying: Tne Danube is still impassable. Rarely has the water risen so high at this seasou, and this merely with rain. Snow water from Bavaria and the Carpathian mown tain* has still to cotne, and experts estimate that it will scarcely be pos aible to cro.-s for four weeks. DIABOLICAL. WORK. ATTACK ON A RAILROAD TRAIN. St. Louis, June 4.-The track of the St. Louis and San Francisco Road, 150 miles west of St. L >uis. was tampered with. The engine arid baggage car of the express train weoi down a forty feet embankment, kilt ing three. Pi tol shots were fired at the traiu. The flash revealed men at the side track. Two balls passed through the cars; one through the conductor’s hat. The night was dark and rainy, and the train run ning only ten miles an hour; other wise the robbers’ intention of throw ing the whole traiu down the em bankment would certainly have suc ceeded.

After alluding to Mr. Motley’s death, Stanley said: “Gen. Grant has just laid down the sceptre of the American Commonwealth, after hav ing, by military prowess—still more by generous treatment of comrades in victory, and enemies in defeat restored unity to a great and divided people. England welcomes him as a sign and pledge that the two nations of the Anglo-Saxon race are one in heart and spirit.” The Excitement In Earls. Paris, June 4.— The excitement in consequence of the arrest of M. Du bourdier, President of the Municipal Council, continues. It is quite legal, but most unusual, to arrest people for offences by writing or speech. Offenders in this way are generally left at liberty until trial, even without bail. In this case bail was lefused. M. Dubourdier denies the charges against him. The impression pro duced is bad, as the prisoner is pop ular with the lower classes. He is a man of education and independent means. He is charged with insulting Marshal MacMahon and inciting civil war and assassination. WEATHER INDICATION*. War Department.

May 12,1877, , Dear Jicgulus:— Vain are human calcu lations. 1 thought by this time I should have been at my Journey’s end, but on the j morning of the 6th, as I was sit iog under | the awning of the Colorado Hotel wailing I for’the stage to oiirry' tile up the Gila, I | was tapped on the Utmulrtor by a burly Kentuckian, long of .California, and one of a party of gents that came down with m“ from Los Anglos, who walkod me off to one sifie and inform 1 dm •! couldn't, get off on that stage. I told him I reckoned I cull'd; didn't know the cus toms of the country, but that I generalh wont wheij f pleased ami how I pi a"tl; calculated I’d still do the same. Ihe gent replied that he calculated differently and that I shouldn’t go; tit it he and his party had gome work they wanted done and that th y couldn't llu i in engineer In Yuma whom they could get worth a cent and that I had]to lay over Sor in days and act. in that i capacity for them nolens volena. To i name my p iee; that we wouldn’t qu trrel j over It. Under such eirc .instances what I could an innocent, guileless unsupecUug youth do but yield to ovtfip .w. ring force. I named my figures, to will, h the party mi led all rav expenses Includ ing all incidentals. So in Yuma, I lay for three days, loafing aud drawing piy for same; was consulted once In that time i by my employee* on a question of inter national law. Well my knowledge of in ternational law does not equal that of Air. Evarts as you may imagine. But 1 know my duty; I Was hired to give opin ion, when it was wanted, and I gave it. I now flinched when the question was put. With the gravity of a trained di plomatist I launched It out. I hope it may bo worth something to the parties; but I should hate to have any money stak ed on its correctness. Howover.if they are satisfied I know I am. On tho evening of the 3d day I was lying in my bed, my head propped up with pillows, my feet resting on tho foot-board at an elevation of a yard above my head, Frank Leslie in my hand and a bottlo of mineral water sent in by one of my now friends in con venient distance on the table, earning my pay, when in stepped my,Kentuckian who helped himself to tho mineral and said if agreeable to mo we would take tho stage and go up to Mohawk on the Gila and run a few lines. Well, it wasn’t agreeable at all to me. I was doing first rate where I was, and preferred to give the party the v.ilue of their money in that kind of ser vice viz: Loafing, but bowing to their wishes I told the gentleman I would be ready iu five minutes and in that space 1 had my traps on board the stage. Mj Kentuckian put in the transit ami chain, the advance guard of civilization, and a suspicious looking willow covered affair, as X enter'd after him, we being the only p tssongers I raised this latter article and gave it a shake, “Two gallons,’’ it replied “Fifteen year old bourbon’," said my companion. “Good" echoed 11,I 1 , and iu a cl ud of dust wo made our exit "from Yuma. The dust was terrible, hot ami stilling. I thought I was eullocating at the end of a mile and grasped lor the "llfteeu year old,” which I raised to my lips and took a swallow, ii worked like a charm, cut ing tao du-t l i my tnrout and giving a uciv lease on fife, i recoin mended to my friend t > try the same, and by repeat ing the experiment wo get through all right. Up tile valley of the Gila we roiled: all night, tikmg until daj break to trmk • Gi miles; 6J mites in limit, en hours is 1.04 rap and traveling. The valley up to tin-. point has the appeal unco of a ucsert tx uept two places below where them weie irrigating ditches. Mountains ele-ing 111 to toe river at p aces, und tiien widening oat leaving tne Vai ey from 1 tolOnnlcs wide. The mountains are perfectly bare and barren, exeep ing now anil tifii a cactus plant, raising .ts laiitusllc head truni one to twenty (2 1) feet in the air line a grim sentinel 0! death presiding over a ghdatfy waste. In the valley not one spi ig of grass did I see. Only the sage Pi Ush, tile tnosqu te, the greasewuod, the plant 01 the desert, and on the brinks of the stream some cottonwood. You are iu tho rainless distrust, or what might as well oe called rainless, as som i ye rs it does not rain at all and never at certain seasons or the year. “This rather comes up to my idea of the country," said I. “I have always set down Arizona as tho hardest piece of grouud in the United States, even excelling in that respect Nevada, which is hard to heat." My companion was asleep and made no reply, and as I had seen enough of that cheering scenery 1 stretched myselt on tho front seat and went to sleep, from whence I awoke with a start as a fierce yell burst on my ear. I thought it was fourteen Apaches requesting my scalp, but it was only tho driver giving notice to Muhawk Station of our approach. Rolling up arid out no cheerful-faced host met us at the door. Day was just beginning to break; horses were changed and the coacti went on, leaving us alone with the hostler. Asking that functionary when mine host would be visible, he replied about eight o’clock; and until eight wo had to set around and wait. When mine host did appear It was with no cheerful visage. Dark and scowling was his coun tenance and it said plain enough "What the devil are you doing here?" My friend, tho Kentuckian, arose and ex plained that wo wanted to get some breakfast just then and afterwards to hire a team and bo sent across the Gila river three miles to Mr. Charles Baker’s rancho, to whom he had a letter of intro duction from Judge Alexander of Yuma Mine host gave a Irowniiig assent to the breakfast part of the proposition, but neither for love nor money we could procure a team, or even a mes senger, as he claimed ail of them to be too busy, and mine host walked off. We gotj the breakfast. boWevdr,, and cogitated as j to what was to be done. Tho only tiling I could figure upon it was for me to get! over to Baker's R niche afoot, there being j no other mode of conveyance. I told Mr. Thompson to nek of a Mexican—who wan the o.dy oiio visible now around the St i tipii—tne!dif;ctioli, distance, and the ford for crossing. ThoinPSPM put the questions In Spanish,and received as answer for the hist, three mi es; tor the second, a circu lar motion of the hand; indicating every point of the compass; and for tho thlrkl, that the river was fordable at any place— and this watt all ho could get out of tho dirty Greaser, and on these indefinite in structions I started out. Striking the river at a distance of a mile, I pulled off my boots, stripped to the waist, and start ed across —the river here being about 500 t<> 6)0 feet wide. Got un pretty well until within a hundred feet of the opposite bank, when I begun to get In too deep water, and 1 stuiek up the stream for a quarter of a mile waiting and looking for a shallow place. The startling fact then buret upon nte that the Mexican tmd lied, and the liver was only foldable, at a few places, if at nil, and where those places were was too much for me. Get across I had to. however; and finding a snag at a point wlnjte I would soon have to swim, I pu'led off the balance of my clothing atid hung them on the snag—then step fast ,iu the log—and taking a linen ’ bult from around my waist. In which I had a few greenbacks left, tied it around my throat. I was now arrayed iu complete Georgia costume, minus only the spurs, as uiy belt stood in tile place of a collar. Gt*p leg In one hand half of my clothes, I held tin m above my bead, aud stepped gently off the log—still c.iei tailing a • irn hope that maybe I wouldn’t have to swim ufter ail. It, was a vain hope, for the water got deeper and Ueeia'r -and taking another step my head went under; but I arose to the surface before my clothes, held above uiy bead, touched the water, and holding them aloft with one hand, I struck out swimming with the other, and soon landed at a good getting-out place. Depositing uiy burden, I returned to the log, and taking the balance of my clothes, swam back, and then brought them all over, and not a thread wet. Dressing, I poled eut down stream in seareh of Mr. Baker’s Rauche. The walking was detestable through sand, and then a salt marsh, and then through an Impalpable dust, sinking deep into it at every step. Not knowing the direction, I had to zig zag, in order hot to pass by the Rune he., Near the river was the most dense ohapparal, have to creep like a rab bit. I kept zlzzayglng “tliusly” for four miles and then climbed a mocqulte tree to see, what, I could see; I couldn’t see any thing but a desert and mountains to the North and ohapparal und sage brush and mosquito in the valley. Not one eprig of grass. Perched iu the limbs of that tree i gave forth a few praises to that Mexican and to the country and decsceuding with a clever conscience meandered down for half a mile farther, when on the opposite side of a lagoon a most enchanting light met my eyes; a field of running grain, and in that field a house; is it possible said I that In tills desert, such a thing can tie seen as a growtug crop? Undoubtedly . hat is Baker's place. I’d arose over and examine lotto tills curiosity; but crossing over was the difficulty. "The thing couldn’t bo did", and pacing back to a turd, 1 stripped to tho waist again and forded over. Redressing, I continued down a sense toa point opposite the house, where a Mexican barefooted and with breeches rolled up was standing I climbed the fence and approached “ Here is another lovely predicament” says I, “ten to one that mahogany colored individual don’t speak English, and Spanish ain't one of uiy accomplish ments." However I’ll find out, aud 1 oponeJ up with “Do you -peak English?’ “No. rtnnor." “Well, tint is lovely,’’ Th try Spanish on him now,” and I opened again, "Suitor Baber.” A volley of thi silvery language, <f which I didn’t under stand one word, greeted my ears. “ Exact- III" said X, “you are no tool, I want to s-e ihoSenor, just trot him up here. Don’t suppose you understand one word of the conversation I am entertaining you with, but what I do wan't is Senor Biker. Vamose; git.bring him here” and I waved him cm. lhc 'Mexican started off at a full trot. I watched him until he entered the brush and then walked over to look at the wheat and barley. Oil the edge was a ditch lull of running water, just below, it was turned i ut. onto a garden spot. Aha! said I, “I iinderatatid the phenomenon ol this oasis, tne land Is Irrigat' d.” I jump ed Ut". ditch aud eximinod the wheat Without doubt it was the finest lever saw, and would turn out sixty bushels to the acre. The truth flashed on me. The valley of the Gila was a desert. It was a desert for tho want of water. Put water on it and the impalpable dust, of which most of It Is composed, will rival tho val ley of tho Nila in its productive powers I examined tho soil, which I had passed over before with Indifference, now with interest. It was a rich, black, loam de posited sediment several feet thick. It was inexhaustable In its richness. Before this I considered the parties fools who stopped mo to survey a portion of tills valley for them. I saw now the correctness oi their Jhdgment, lands that will produce sixty bushels of wheat to the acre, and abundantly of anything under the sun planted upon it, can but be a most fortunate speculation to those who go into It Full of this, to me new discovery, I turned to the house and awaited the re turn of the Mexican. He soon came up, “Awal senor,” said I, “Si Senor Agna,” replied tliis dusky blood loading the way into tho one,Apartment 10x12 udobe house, and reaching mo from an earthen vessel a cup of cool water. 1 rather prided my self on tho success of my Spanish thon and drinking the water got off another of the Doct or’s bows, and handed the cup hack. The Senor wasn’t to be outdone and tie took the cup with one or his most elegant hows. Now the handsome thing being done by both parties, I propounded the question again: "Senor Baker?” "Si Senor,” was the reply, and waiving his hand for me to follow, carried me half a mile below, where I found Senor Baker, Sonora Raker atid Senorlta Bakor, bound to Yuma. 'I he Honor met me as I came up I introduced myself to him, and found him to be a New Yorker and a gentlemen his wife a very dark Mexican, his little and uighter some lighter. I told my busi ness, and lie was kind enough to delay his trip to Yuma, take me back to Mo hawk in his Wagon, and InVlte myself arid Thompson’to his rauche, promising to as sist its In ouT surveys. 8 > for three days wer.-rinilned with Mr. Baker, and In that tune dohe all bur wot k. I sket cheduff for tho-party some 25 or 39 sections, which they intend to taka up on the Desort Land Act. Rode up the valley to Texas Mountain some twelve or fifteen mites, and project ed for them a ditch which would irrigate fifty sections of land at a cost of about one thousand dollars per mile for the main ditch. My op'nton in this matter was worth more to the party than the question of International taw, l fancy. I then cauie back and run the line over another projected ditch, locating it for them, and to*d them I must leave them then as I was due up the river. Got back to the Station and found several of Mr, Thomnson’s party there. Just up from Yuma. Clever fellows, all of them. They wanted me to go back to Yuma and hang out my card, offering to make me their lawyer, I declined with thanks, told thm l might in the future (hi glad to ac cept Utelp but ut present it was im possible. M bib host I find to be In a more agree able mood. I sat at his tablet writing and waiting for the stage due at four to-morrow morning, and he has brought me in a bad which lie freely places at my disposal. I have ta'ked him Into the idea that X am a pre ty clever kind of a fellow. I iiitouded to write more sense and less nonsense iu this and give the Gila a blow, which I found to be worth some, but will reserve that for my next. lam happy to say lam now beyond the reach of that busted crowd, I met aud saw so much of in California,on the line of the Union aud Central X’aciflc Railroads. They’ll inundate this territory soon, but at present it is too inacceslble for them. Will write you again, J. F. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL BY TELE6RAPH TO THE DAILY TIMES. MOXKY AND STOCK*.
