Courts of arbitration to settle differences between corporations and organized labor and Governor Larrabee's administration were indorsed.Washington, Aug. 16.—At the department of justice nothing is said to Indicate an opinion that Deputy Marshal Nagle was too rash. In fact, the opinion is clearly enough shown that if Nagle had done less than he did he would have failed to carry out the instructions of the department. The same opinion'seems to be almost universal here, both in and outside of official circles. There are in town, of course, a few sympathizers with Terry, but they are all southern Are eaters, ox-Confederates, former chums of Terry and adherents of the code of honor, who hold that it would be better to have waited a little aijrt to have given Terry a fair chance to shoot somebody before shooting him. These few, but only these, argue that Nagle's only duty was to have arrested Terry when he slapped the justice's face. What may properly be called public opinion is all the other way. It does not hold that Nagle committed a crime, but that he simply did his duty well. Madison, Wis., Aug. 16.—Gen. W. W. Treadway died at his home in this city during the night, aged 85.

Paris, Aug. 10.—The Republican journals are convinced that public opinion will ratify the decree of the senate court in the conviction of Boulanger, Dillon and Rochefort. The Conservative and Boulangist papers, however, express themselves as sanguine that the general elections for members of the chamber of deputies will show that the people do not acquiesce in the verdict.

He asked if this were correct, and also if the home office had directed the postal officials to open and examine the letter sent tvD him (Sexton) at mayor of Dublin by President Harrison. Mr. Matthews, the home secretary, stated very emphatically that he had not authorized the opening of any of the letters to which Mr. Sexton referred. Nor, said he, was there the slightest ground for believing that President Harrison's letter to the mayor of Dublin had been opened by any one connected with the postoffice department. He could only say that the inquiry as to the attempted tampering with President Harrison's communication to Mr. Sexton was progressing. Killed In a Riot. Maud 8. tvOo in Training.
