A Toi'eka (Ks.) illsp.ntcli of tlio 12th
says': Tito sttlfb for tlie possession of llio
celebrated York-Pomcroy $7000 which
lins been going on In the courts for two
year? wns dually determined to-dny. All
tliaults relating to the money were with-
drawn and tlio attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by the county In carrying on the
criminal action against Pomcroy wcro
paid out of it and tlio remainder amount-
ing to $5000 wns given hack to Colonel
York who In turn passed It over to I'om-
croy's attorney. Of cotir.se this arrange-
ment does not directly affect the prosecu-
tion for bribery now pending against
l'omcroy but it Is understood that thcro
Isa tacit agreement on the part of tlio
counsel that It shall be dismissed when
the court convenes and this Is probably
the lat of tlio whole affair.

A true story is told of a young clerk in
the Treasury Department at Washington
who is In luck and whose good fortune
was brought about by an act of politeness
towards an old Englishman and his hand-
some daughter. While the Btitish High
Joint Commission was In session In Wash-
ington years ago a London merchant
came over to watch a claim of his which
was beloio the commission. He brought
his daughter with lilm and the two had
much lclsuro time on their hands wlilcli
thoy occupied seeing tho sights in tlio va
rious public buildings. One day they call-
ed at the Treasury Department and tlio
clerk referred to showed them through.
Ho was very polite probably very much
interested and made himself agreeable and
useful to the strangers. He engaged to
show them something or pilot them some-
where elso the next day and tlie next and
the old man and Ids daughter gladly ac
cepted theso repeated oilers of kindness
Of course the parties became well ac
quainted nnd itis not surprising that thcro
should have grown up u mutual liking.
The young man was a welcome visitor at
thu apartments of tho English strangers
between whiles. At length tho merchant
finished his business in Washington nnd he
nud his daughter turned their faces home
ward across the sea leaving at least ono
warm personal friend In America. Some
months since tlie young clerk resigned his
position hi tho department and left Wash-
ington for no one know where. Tho oth
er day ho returned with a wife and has
been warmly welcomed uy ins out lricnus
The rest of the story Is very simple and
natural. Ho corresponded with his Eng-
lish friends after they left and especially
with tho yottug lady. Ono day he received
a letter from her stating that her father had
died leaving her all his fortune nud also
leaving her very lonely and heart-broken.
Tho ) ouiig man's sympathies wero aroused.
It was his plain duty to go and sco her
keep her company and try to mend her
fractured heart. Ho took the chances left
his situation went to London nnd was
soon nt her side. In a few mouths the
couple wero married nud tho wlfo tlie poor
young clerk brought bnck to Washington
was tho pretty Hugllsh ghl to whom he
waspollto somo years before. It always
pays politeness!
Change of Rates of Postage.
Under tho act of Congress passed March
3 1875 tho r.tte of postage on all tranttint
mail matter including newspapers books
circulars merchandise patterns seeds
etc. Is changed from one cent for each
tvo ounces or fraction to one cent for each
ounce orruction. Tho rates of postage on
papers sent abroad remain unchanged.
Poslago on papers addressed to foreign
counliles must ho paid in Adl or tho mat-
ter w Hi not bo forwarded. Domestlo mall
mutter not paid in full is sent to destina-
tion and double tho amount of poshigo
duo Is collected from tho person to whom
nd dressed.
Tlio now law does not chntigo tlio rate
of postage or tho maimer of collecting It
on newspapers bent from ofllces of publi-
cation or by newsdealers to ngulartub-
strikers. Tho new law went nto ellect on March
It remained for a libel suit to bring out
the true secret of France's swift crushing
defeat by the German armies. After some
preliminary skirmishing between tlie two
parties to the controversy which Is of no
moment Cassagnnc editor of Le Pays
Bonaparte organ In Paris charged Gen.
WhnpfTcn with treason and asserted that
"the battle of Sedan was lost by Wlmpf-
fen's vanity and Incapacity." Thereupon
the latter brought stilt for libel. It was In
this trhl that Cassngnac's charges wcro
proved to be true. Tlie following circum
stances wcro proved by overwhelming
evidence Including the testimony of Gens.
DucrotDouayLcbrim 1'njol and others:
Wlnipnen arrhed nt the army near Se-
dan just after MncMahon had been
wounded nnd obliged to relinquish com-
mand and carried In his pocket a commis-
sion from the Secretary of War as second
in command. MacMahon's wound hav-
ing forced li!mto glvo up the command
It was Wlmpfi'on'sduty to present his com-
mission nnd assume tlio command. Ifttt
as the army had received a severe shock
WlinpfTun desired to avoid responsibility
failed to present the Secretary's order and
permitted the command to go to Gen. Du-
crot the next In command Ducrot n
clear-headed able man was master of the
situation. Ho saw it was Impossible to
defeat the enemy and thcro was but one
avenuo of escape. He rcolvcd to sacrifice
one army corps In order to save tlie re-
maining 80000 men with the Emperornnd
Marshal MncMnhon. I.cbrun's corps was
thrown to the front nnd ordered to repel
attacks to the last extremity. It received
the attnek of the enemy so valiantly that
tlie Germans fell back repulsed and
Wimpflen concluded that the proposed re-
treat might be turned into a victory. He
thereupon presented the Secretary's order
demanding a transfer of the command.
What followed is thus described as proven
In court on tho tiial:
" He stopped tlie retreat and ordered
tho divisions already In movement to the
front. Ho stopped the movement towards
Illy despite tlio protests of Ducrot who
told him that It was a vital point. But
Wimpflen would listen to nothing. 'It
Is not a retreat we want' he said 'but a
victory. Wo aro going to drive the Ger-
mans into the Mouse.' ' Provided they do
not drive us there' said Ducrot; 'inti
hour you mill have no chance even or rt-
treat.'' The Germans had ceased firing at
that moment and were engaged in a flank
movement. Wimpflen could not sco it
nnd would not believe Ducrot's words.
He ordered every body to the front and
up to 1 o'clock remained doing nothing
and having no fixed plan. His pleasant
dream was then interrupted by the open-
ing of batteries in ids rear. Tlie Germans
had completed their turning movement
unmolested while Wimpflen was looking
straight before him and now began to at-
tack on all sides. From tills moment the
bailie was lost and If the white Hag had
then been raised 15000 men might have
been spared a useless death. From that
moment all hope was gone. Attacked In
front on tlie flank in their rear at the
same time tho French troops disbanded
and rushed pell-mell into Sedan. A fear-
ful massacre ensued "and tills the Emperor
tried to stop by raising tlie white flag.
Gen. Wimpil'tui rushed into the. Emperor's
presence and said Ulat if tho battle had
been lost it was duo to the fact that his
officers would not obey his orders. 'It
was because they obeyed your orders too
well' cried Ducrot in wrath rising from
behind the Emperor's chair; ' but for your
crazy presumption in stopping the re-
treat we should have saved most of the
army and at least avoided a capitula-
tion.'" Gen. Wimpffen thus becamo responsible
for tlie capture of the French Emperor and
the French army and for tlio overwhelm-
ing and sudden humiliating defeat of tlie
French nation.
Had Ducrot's plan of retreat succeeded
and it was on tlio point of success when
Wimpflen wrenched the command from
him. the wholo course of events might
have been changed. The Emperor would
then have had an open way for his retreat
to Paris with 80000 men. MacMahon
would have been well in a few weeks to
resume command. The army could have
been recruited up to any number for whom
arms could have been provided. Moltke
would never have dared to surround Paris
so long as tho flower of the French Army
was outside. If ho had lie would have
been between two fires Paris on one side
able to take care of Itself and tho Empe-
ror and MacMahon on tlio other with
perhaps half a million of men. Bazaine
would not have surrendered as it is ad
mitted that ho could have held out for a
long time nnd ho only surrendered be-
cause the Emperor was captured and tho
Empire lost. Indeed ho might have cut
his way ont and escaped with most of his
army. Thus the war would have been
prolonged for months at least; and had
it been so prolonged there is now no qttes-
tlonbutthatGrcatBrltam would iwcoome
to the rescue of Franco. Almost every man
woman and child in Great Urlttaln and
Ii eland hish and low (except the Queen
who remained neutral) were In full sym-
pathy with France. Tlio Ministry wns
unanimous this way. Ireland was in a
flame of enthusiasm and tens of thousands
of Irish volunteers were ready nt a mo-
ment's notlco to go to tho aid of the
French. England was only waiting to get
her regulars and volunteers and navy into
proper trim. Six weeks longer would
hac brought out her Intervention. And
thus tho destiny of Franco and Germany
would have been changed. Tho French
would havo lost no territory nnd paid no
indemnity.
There is ample scopo for moralizing in
this devclonmcnt of tho Pays libel suit
but the lino Is too clear and familiar. Tho
fall of Franco is thus traced directly to the
petty vanity of an obscuro General whom
accident alone furnished an opportunity to
disgrace himself forever nnd pull down a
proud and powerful nation in his fall.
Thus do destinies of nations and the out-
come of great struggles haug upon a hair.

Ing sort. So ho was for about an hour or
less or until called to breakfast alter
which he would light his pipe stroll over
to his nearest neighbor or hang over tho
fence and talk to every passer-by repeat-
ing tho same old story ot what lie was go-
ing to do to-morrow or next week. It is
needless to say that my neighbor soon
found that farming was a poor business.
I can call to mind a number of similar
Instances where tho best of resolutions
failed to bring success. It Is well enough
for a farmer to got up early and "storm
about" a little In tho morning; but If ho
lacks the "stlcktoltlvcncss" all this blus-

The Des Moines (Iowa) Register says :
Probably no occupation In life has In Its
ranks as many wanderers ns the art typo-
graphical. Every printing-office has Its
legends of their coming nud going. Two
years ago died at Ihtcyrus O. Thomas
Wallace who was a compositor hi Des
Moines twenty-two years before. Prior
to'that ho was at Iowa City and set typo
on tlio journal of the llrst Territorial Leg
islature. He had worked at tho time of
his death in 2700 different offices and
went to the printers' reward at the ripe
age of eighty years. As an evidence of
tho different ages in which ho plied Ids art
he pulled a Ilamagc press in 1821 and in
1870 set typo for 'Petroleum V. Nasby"
lu Toledo O.
"Matchet" If he ever had any other
name no one this side of -bis christening
fount was ever able to discover It com-
menced his career In Scotland In 1820.
The llrst year tho Legislature was in ses-
sion in Des Mollies Matchet appeared
here as an actor in the first theatrical per-
formance given In this city. He had but
one eye nnd like most of the tramps had
an unbounded capacity for benzine. He
was a composition in equal parts of print-
er actor and vagabond and excelled in
each character. Ten or twelve years after
he trod the boards In Des Moines lie came
back the last time traveling on a pass on
the dirt road which he traversed for lack
of lucre wherewith to pay stage fare. The
second time he appeared as a printer and
a good ono he was too. He worked on
the old Citizen until he had accumulated
twenty dollars. Then lie started lor
Georgia intending to tramp the entire
distance. Two years ago an old grbrzled
and wrinkled man entered the Register
composing room about midnight. With
easy nonchalance he introduced himself as
"Old Matchet." The next day he was
given work and the next being Sunday
ho squandered his day's wages In forty-
rod whisky and that night he slept in tlie
prets-room. He estimated that the aggre-
gate miles of his tramps exceeded sixty
thousand. Ono trip was from Fort
Leavenworth to California. He was about
seventy years old when he left Des Moines
nud set lino type without the aid of spec
tacle's. His favorite expression when
offereil a ride or when asked why he trav
eled afoot was that it "hurt his feet to
ride."
Jack Harilngton is another traveling
ttfriOjrrarilier..tvlinn:flnfl;tt'ttIinv boanpllcul
In tlie printing offices of every State. His
llrst exploit In life was to spend twenty
thousand dollars left him by an accumula-
tive but short-lived paternal aucestor.
Then he commenced to tramp and soak
himself with tlie whiskies of all points ot
the compass. He has probably borrowed
half a dollar of every jour printer in tlie
Union and when he dies will attempt to
"stand offV with Ids. undertaker.
Singletary is a most remarkable tramp.
Born in Ohio he worked at his trade until
ho had accumulated one hundred dollars.
Then ho started out to see Mexico which
he did in company with Zacli Taylor. The
close of tlie war found him at New Or-
leans and from thence lie started with the
expressed purpose of visiting every State
and Territorial capital. Ten years ago his
mission was completed Des Moines being
tlie last where he worked on "State work"
to raise money to carry him home to Ohio.
Nearly all of his tramping was done afoot.
He slept in a press-room in preference to a
hotel and In the summer time was happy
while slumbering in a friendly hay mow.
Like most of those old style tramps ho
was an excellent workman and could have
accumulated a handsome property had ho
not been under the influoncc of the Genius
of Unrest.
Jack Allen Is j'ct in tho land of the liv-
ing just coming to the close of a life that
has stretched out thrre-quartcrs of a ccn
tury. Unlike most tramps ho has always
been strictly temperate. He has probably
seen more and seen better than any tramp
In tlie country. Yesterday lie left the
Register office where he had labored two
weeks. He came here from Austin Texas
having walked all tho way except a strip
of about ono hundred miles through the
Indian Territory and worked more or less
in nlmost every newspaper town between
hero and the Lone Star State. Ho left here
en route for Dtiluth which ho said was
the only town of seven thousand Inhabi-
tants in the United States which he had
not visited.
Jack Allcoin has walked until his feet
are spread out ns flat as a pancake. He
has counted tho ties of half of tho rail-
roads lu the Union. When ho was
lifty years old he found himself at Rich-
mond Virginia working at his trade. The
rebellion commenced and Jack's senti-
ments told him to go North The Gov-
ernment of the Confederate States wanted
his skill In tho Government Printing-office
nnd ho remained at Richmond a
gray-coated Confed. guarding his door to
sco that ho UIil not escipc. nix monins oi
this life was a dull dose and one evening
tho tramping printer was among the mles-
lng. Tho next tlmo ho saw Richmond h?
was swinging a saber In Sheridan's caval-
ry. At the closo of tho war he again
took tho road and last whiter his head
white with age but with a step as iignt as
thirty years before tho unconquerable
Jack came marching Into Des Moines on
the ties of tho Valley road. A short pe-
riod of labor on State wotk satisfied him
and he left en route for Now Orleans.
It's a conundrum what becomes of old
tramps. Wallace is the only ono ot
them that has becnCknown to dlo; the
others vro still on tho go and glvo no
symptoms of a relapse Into cither tho
gravo or quiet. If they should die they
wouldn't bo satisfied In tho other world
unless there was somo corner of it that
they hadn't visited.
The Postage Increase Bill-How It Was
Passed
Special Dispatch to Tlio Chicago Tribune.
Washington D. C March 11. A clos-
er examination of the manner lu which the
expressmen's job (by which postage on
transient newspapers i doubled) became a
law shows that Hannibal Hamlin was the
instrument used in tho Senate to accom-
plish this purpose. It does not affirma-
tively appear that Hamlin knew the scope
of his amendment. The poor man's post-
ago was doubled In ono of tlio heated
night sessions a few nights after the frank-
ing privilege was restored. Very few
Congressmen eUdently knew that any
change was made and ninny who weio
advised of thu Increase o'f postage sup-
posed nnd were so told that It was only
to apply to packages of merchandise and
In no seuso to transient newspapers.
When this amendment was added Postmaster-General
Jewell was himself In the
Senate Chamber and supposed tis did ev-
ery body who knew any thing about It
that tho Increase applied only to merchan-
dise. Tho way It came about was this : Sena-
tor Hamlin without previous notice --aid
he had an amendment to oiler which was
this: "That Sec. 8 of the act approml
Jtiao 23 187-1 making appropriations for
the scnlco of the Post-office Department
for the flical year ending Juno !10 1875
and for other purposes be and tho same Is
hereby amended ns follows: Insert the
word 'ounce' In lltu of the words 'two
ounces.' " Sec. 8 was not read. The im-
pression among Senators who knew any
thing about It was that this amendment
only doubled tho postage on samples and
merchandise. Had tho section been read
the fact would have appeared.
Hamlin further said :
This is an impropriation bill. The amendment
which Is beforo tlio Senate Is to replenish jour
Treasury and I think nt tills period of time
when the revenues of J our rost-omco Department
aro running so low the amendment which I offer
Is one that should commend Itself to tho judgment
ot every Senator here. In 1S72 we paBccda law
fixing tho rote of poutago upon what w as called
transient matter of tlie third class. Tho question
has been submitted to tho l'ost-offlco Department
in relation to a change of Uiat law und I hae
here an express recommendation of tho Post-master-General
lu favor of the amendment which
I submit. I have a full knowledge ot this law.
I was a member of tho I'ost-ofUco Committee
when the plan of transmittlngothcr than mailable
matter proper through tho mail wnsadoptcd. It
fixed tho rate of postage upon each t o ounces. It
has been carried up to (our pounds. It was an
experiment. I do not seek to chango that ex peri
ment but I do seek to place upon It a rate of
postage which If the statements from the l'ost-
ofUcc Department be correct will ghe you $'.'-
000000 of revenue in the coming year. It Mill
operate as no hardship n liatci er upon persons
whom we design to benefit by allowing merchan
dize to go through the mails. We support the
mall department proper upon postage at six cents
per ounce. This will still allow merchandise
samples to go through our mails for one cent an
ounce at such low rates that any pcrsou who de-
sires to avail himself of tlio transmission of tlie
malls for such a purposo will have no reason to
complain of our Increasing tho rate. The Tost-master-Uencrnl
tells us It should bo done. Mr.
Hangs whom I regard as oneoftho very be6t
officers In Hint department (he is careful ; he un-
derstands his business) has made tho statement
that It will glvo to us $2000000 of revenue if we
adopt the. amendment.
Baugs's letter referred only to samples of
merchandise and stated simply that if
tlie same amount of merchandise should
go through the malls under the Increased
postage as now the amount of rcenue
would be increased $2000000. The only
oomimmtoatloil from tho X'ootmaotcY
General was a brief note calling attention
to the letters of Bangs. Tho amendment
was then adopted In the Senate without
further explanation.
IN THE HOUSE.
The only proceedings in the House upon
the amendment were these : The Clerk
read tlie text of the amendment and Mr.
Garfield said : "This is a change of post
age in regard to a certain kind of mer-
chandise and meets the concurrence of
the Committee on Appropriations." The
amendment was concurred in. Ramsey
subsequently tried to get a further amend-
ment for the express companies reducing
the 4-pound limit to 2 pounds but failed.

Baron of the Court of Exchequer. The
attack was made about half-past eleven
on tho night of Jan. 6 while he was walk-
ing home. When ho was at some distance
below the Marble Arch ho was suddenly
surrounded by four men ono of whom
struck him a violent blow on the head
while nt the same tlmo ho was tripped up
and thrown to tho pavement. Fortunate-
ly ho was not stunned and ho at onco de-
fended himself with n thick stick where-
upon tho men ran off and ho was able to
walk home. Ho nt first thought that ho
had only sustained a few bruises but ulti-
mately It was discovered that n rib had
been broken. This Injury though painful
nnd causing somo annoyance has not at
all interfered with the performance of his
