LONDON, January 13.—A Vienna corre- spondent says: New developments in Russia may be very significant of what may happen ten years hence, but those persons who are conversant with Russian military affairs do not think Russia is preparing for some great action in the immediate future. The work of reorganization and introducing the standing order of battle in time of peace, whith was greatly disturbed by the Turkish war, entails much moving about of troops, and the mate- rial movement is very apt to be construed into something quite different from their real intention, — France. THE IRISH CRISIS. PARIS, January 1%.—The Ultramontane newspaper, Univers, has a violent article on the Irish crisis. Itrepresents that the Eag- lish government is absorbedin African and Afghan affairs, and heedless cf the suffer- ings of the Irish, and speaks of the Duchess of Marlborough’s relief fund and foreign sub- scriptions as utterly inadequate to alleviate the popular distress. — A PROVOKING SPEECH.

LONDON, January 13.—Ex-Empress Eu- genie has notified the steamship company that she will embark with a small retinue on board the steamer German, for the Cape of Good Hope, the 26th of March. Arrangements will be made to expedite the voyage so as to enable the ex-Empress to arrive at the scene of the Prince Imperial’s death by the Ist of June,the anniversary of that event.

THE STAR ROUTE STEAL. Startling Developments Expected at the Pending Investigation — Tilden Out of the Race for the Presidency— National Notes. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ‘ WASHINGTON, D. C., January 13.— The House Committee has agreed to recommend that the sum of $600,000 be appropriated as suggested by the Attorney-General. STAR ROUTE INVESTIGATION. Congressmen Blackburn, Blount and Cly- mer, of the House sub-committee to investi- gate the *‘Star Route Service,’’ all declare that the investigation shall be thorough, and I believe it will. If they do make it thorough, it willbe shown that at least half of the +2,000,000 deticiency was stolen, and two or three persons who are not un- known in St. Louis will figure as beneficiaries. Gen. Brady, Third Assistant Postmaster-Gen- eral, announced to the world a few months ago that he had suddenly made several hun- dred thousand dollars speculating in stocks. That he bas grown rich is a patent fact. He has purchased a palatial residence, and all the accompaniments, and is living likealord; but that he made his money in stocks’? may not be so true, as the pending ivestigation will probably prove. A few evenings ago a jour- nalist of Washington, in conversation with a former Government employe, remarked that the Star Route’’ deficiency was a huge steul, and that he intended to show it up through the press. The next day the ex-Gov- ernment employe waited upon the journalist and after beating about the bush awhile ad- vised him not to pitch into that star route deficiency.’’ Finally the ex-employe said: I' guarantee that it shall be to your inter- est to keep silent on this matter. I want you to go with me to see Gen. Brady and it will be made all right with you.“ This is not the only instance of the Kind either that has occurred. Ever since an investigation was suggested persons have been lobbying against it, and one of the arguments used was thatit would damage the Democrats to order an investigation, because it would de- velop the fact that Democratic Congressmen got a part of the swag. TILDEN NOT A CANDIDATE, Yesterday a prominent Democratic Senator from one of the Northern States, and one of the most substantial andinfluential Democrats in Congress, speaking of Tilden, said:. Now len tell you a secret, Tilden does not want the nomination for President next year. He is a swart, far-sceing man. He is cold- blooded and never allows his desires to run away with his judgment. He knows that public sentiment is against him and that he could not be elected. He will announce that he is not a candidate at the proper | time. In the meanwhile he in Dee r + tends to hold on to the Democratic organization in New York and to control the delegation to the Natioaal Convention. His object is to dictate the nomination. He knows that he can’t be king, and wants to be War- wick. Hewants to dictate the nomination and to be the power behind the throne in case the Democrats elect their ticket. Now, III tell you what I haven't told any other per- son. Mr. Tilden himself is my authority for saying he does not want the nomination. He will do all in bis power for the success of our ticket, and vou may mark what I say: We are going to electa Democratic President next year.“ CENSUS SUPERVISORS. The entire list of Census Supervisors for Missouri has been agreed upon, and the nominations will be sent to the Senate in a few days. The appointments finally deter- mined on are as follows: First Oensus Dis- trict, C. E. Solomon, St. Louis; Second Dis- triet, Greason, of Iron county; Third Dis- trict, B. P.

Craig, of St. Joe. The appointments have been accept- ed by the Senators from Missouri, and will be confirmed. Bailey, Duke and Greason are Democrats and the other four are Republi- cans, VEST’S CHOICE EOR THE MARSHALSHIP. Senator Vest was quoted in an interview published in St. Louis as favoring Thomas for Marshal. He says this is not true, that Ste- phenson was his firet choice and Leffingwell his second. Stephenson notified Ves the would ac- cept the position. Frost says the Oklohama bill will be brought before the Hsuse in two or three weeks, Hatch says bis bill to admit salt free of tar- iff duty will be reported back favorably from the Ways and Means Committee.as he knows a majority favorit. Healsotays the bill will pass the House this session. VEST’S BILL, Senator Vest introduced a bill to-day to prohibit clerks of federal courts from colfect- ing fees in any common law action for copying papers filed in such cases in a book styled the Final Records. M’NEIL’S NOMINATION. Mr. MecNeil’s nomination has not yet been sent to the House, butthereis no informa- tion of any purpose not to appoint him. He will be nominated and rejected by the Senate. National Notes. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 13.—G. R. Blanchard, representing the Erie Railway, spoke to-day in opposition to the Reagan Inter-State Commerce bill, taking strong grounds against positive legislation by Con- gress affecting the different interests involved and favoring the appointment of a commission to suggest legislation on the subject. THE KELLOGG CASE. Five witnesses testified to-day for Senator Kellogg in further rebuttal of the testimony taken before the sub-committee at New Or- leans. M’CABE VS. ORTH. The House Committee on Elections took up to-day the case of McCabe vs. Orth, contested electiop in the Ninth Indiana District. On the pending motion to dismiss the appeal of the contestant, the motion was denied —ayes, 6; nays, 8. Representative Phister then moved to grant the petition of contestant, and permit him to go on and take testimony. Representative Keifer offered as a substi- tute, That a committee of five members be appeinted by the Speaker of the House to investigate any and all questions of bribery, corruption, fraud or illegal voting alleged to have been committed by any person or persons in the election of the member of Congress of the Ninth Congressional District of Indiana, said committee to have power to send for persons and papers.“ After some further discussion and without action the committee adjourned till Tuesday next@ A QUORUM WANTED. The Senate Military Committee failed to obtain a quorum to-day, owing to several members being engaged with other commit- tees, but by common consent the chairman was authorized to appoint a sub-committee to consider the bill for the relief of Gen. Fitz John Porter, and report upon it to the iull committee. CONFIRMATIONS. The Senate confirmed Samuel Spackman, of Pennsylvania, Consul at Ghent; Jacob Wheel- er. United States Marshal for the Southern District of Illinois; G. W. French, Chief Jus- tice of Arizona Territory. OST MASTERS. Isaac Moorhead at Erie, Pa., and W. C. F. Reed at Mount Joy, Pa. FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Senate. WASHINGTON,January 13.—The Vice-Pres- ident laid before the Senate a communication from the |Postmaster-General, recommending various minor deficiencies in the appropria- tions for 1879-80. amounting to $101,000, Several Senators presented numerously signed petitions for a commission of inquiry into the alcoholic liquor tré@ftic. Senators Kernanand Saulsbury presented memorials forthe withdrawal of the legal tender quality of Treasury notes. Senator Merrill offered the following resolu- tion, which was laid on the table, and he an- pounced his intention to speak upon it Thurs- dav rext: . Resolved, Thatthe Committee on Finance be instructed as tothe practicability of refund- ing any part of the national debt at a less rate than 4 per cent interest and also as to whether or not some effective provision can be made whereby bona fide — tions for sums in moderate amounts may available, and report by bills or otherwise. On motion of Senator Garland, 28 to 25, the Senate went into executive session. When the doors were reopened, on motion of Senator Thurman House bill to provide for Circuit Courts and District Courts of the United States at Columbus, Ohio, and trans- ferring certain counties from the northern to the southern district of that State, was taken up and passed. On motton of Senator Cockrell, the Senate again went into executive session, and then adjourned until to-morrow. House. WASHINGTON, January 15.—After some routine business, consideration was resumed of the resolution for printing the Glover re- ort. 7 Mr. Wilson, from the Committee on Print- ing, reported the bill for the election of a Congressional Printer. Referred to the Com- mittee of the Whole on g point of order, Mr. Becknell, Chairman of the Committee on counting votes for President and Vice-Presi- | dent, reported back the bill to provide for and late the counting of the votes for Presi- 3 — MOVEMENTS IN MAINE. Results of the Formation of a Re- publican Legislature. - — — Refusal of Briber White to Answer the Summons of the Fusionists. _- — The Latest Intelligence from the Disturbed Capital, AUGUSTA, ME., January 13.—At a quarter to20’clock the Committee of the House to report the questions to submit to the Supreme Court submitted a series which it was voted to submit to the court. The questions are long. Both branches adjourned at 2:15 until Saturday, January 17, at 2 p.m. Forty en- thusiastic Republicans came to the city last night by the Pullman train. Hale, in his remarks relative to the order submitting the questions to the Supreme Court, said the Representatives assembled here did not desire a control. The law did not give them the power to ride rough-shod over any one as they might have done days ago, but for the main purpose and great purpose indi- cated in the order, and when the court de- cided the question the people of Maine will take that decision as the final exposition of the law uponthe question of organization, and it will be expected that everybody in the ball will accept it as laid down by the court. AWAITING A DECISION. ä The reported scheme of electing State offi- cers and Governor has apparently been aban- doned, both parties seeming willing to await the decision of the Supreme Court before proceeding further. Lamson, who claims to be acting Governor, has as yet performed no official act that at all interferes with the pre- rogatives of Gen. Chamberlain. The House took a recess until 2 o’clock p.m. All Quiet at the Capital. AUGUSTA, ME., January 13.—Both branch- es of the Legislaturefquietly assembled to-day. The Republicans remained away. The night at the capita! passed very quietly, full guard being on. The only thing irregular this morning was when G. W. Martin attempted to pass the guard in defiance of the police reg- ulations aud was summarily handled by the police. RETICENT FUSIONISTS. The Fusionists are very reticent about ex- pressing an opinion of the events of last night. They seem surprised, and are unwilling to converse upon the subject. Wallace R. White, whose card of denial of bribery has been published, has been sum- moned before the Bribery Committee, but re- | fused to appear. The following is his card: WHITE’S CARD. To Henry Ingalls, Chairman of the Investi- gating Committee: I have received your summons to appear before your committee charged with an investigation of the alleged bribery of T. B. Swan and Moses Harrim in. I decline to appear, for the reason you are not competent to send for persons and papers, and not competent to administer a legal to anything without incurring the hazard of prosecution for perjury. If Swan and Harri- rally swear falsely about it, and if they mere- ly putupthe job they would be still more likely to testify falsely. When I meet them I want it to be before a tribunal that has power to enforce its decrees and to administer punishment. Your House of Representatives is illegally organ- ized or not organized at all, and if you have any doubt on tbat point I shall be glad to have you arrest me for contempt and then bu ve the authority of vour process tested by a writ of babeas corpus before the Supreme Ju- dicial Court. If Jam not sustained by that tribunal I shal! cheerfully appear before vour committee. [Signed. | WALLACE R. WHITE. IRISH RELIEF. Invited to Baltimore.
