POSSIBLE REMOVAL OF GEN. PLEASANTON. ^ 
It is reported Secretary lloutwell Inis prepared , 
a communication to the President, advising the j 
removal of Pleasanton, or, If preferable, that he ( 
be requested to resign. As l'nr as known, tbo , 
meml.ers of the Cabinet are with lloutwell in , 
this controversy, as are some ot the I ormor sup- j 
porters of Pleasanton. It is charged among | 
persons in the confidence of t he Administ ration, , 
that there arc stronger reasons tor Hie removal 
of Pleasanton than are found in his controversy , 
with Boutwell. Against Pleasanton It is alleged 
that, by reason of bad management, there is a 
great falling off in the revenue; that in the gen¬ 
eral administration of the office ho is inefficient; 
that cases involving immense sums of money 
arc injudiciously settled, and Hint the whole 
tendency of his management isin the interest of 
rings, and that lie and his immediate subordi¬ 
nates are given to jobbery. Such ore t lie alle¬

• children of her last husband by a former mar- 
- ,iage. She married a Jersey man nearly ten 
J years ago. Three years after the marriage the 
- husband died suddenly, aud under circumstunecs 
- which occasioned comment- She married her 
* second husband in Connecticut, and be diol 
- under equally suspicious circumstances. Early 
- in 1870 tlie woman married NHIsuu H. Sherman 
a 0 f Derby, Conn., a widower with two children, 
Ii onO Six und the oilier fifteen years old. Within 
il nine”months after the wedding Mr. Sherman

Chicago, July 3.-Messrs. Hitchcock, Du pec i 
A, Evnits. a law firm, have, at the request <>r the 
Chicago Board of Trade, published an opinion 
on questions likely to arise in the practical 
operations of the acts recently passed by tbc . 
Illinois Legislature concerning warehouses ami 
railroads. The opinion holds that, the Ware¬ 
house act is Constitutional, and that aJI provis¬ 
ions regulating receipts, storage, delivery and 
inspection of grain arc valid, Ihe principle gov¬ 
erning all hucIi cases being that tho use of pri¬ 
vate property, and the exercise of a pursuit, 
must bp subordinate lo a proper protection of 
the rights of the public. It also holds Unit Hie 
law is applicable to warehouse corporations ex¬ 
isting before the passage of tbc net In regard 
to the Railroad acts, it is held I hat the Legisla- 
ture bus the Constitutional power to make 
regulations relating to the receipt, transporta¬ 
tion and delivery of grain. The power ot the . 
Legislature lo fix the maximum rates for the 
storage and carriage of grain is held loin: sub¬ 
ject tu prior consideration that such rate be 
reasonable for services rendered. Substantially, 
these gentlemen sustain the Constitutionality of 
the entire railroad and warehouse legislation. 
Mr. Hitchcock, senior member of the firm, w as 
a member and President of the Convention 
which framed Ihe Constitution of the State; 
and this judgment or Die firm will have ft good 
elfectin settling the issue and In giving practi¬ 
cal effect to tho laws.

was, at the Instigation of the priest who led the 
procession, attacked b.v tour men, and would 
have been killed but for the interference of 
some poor women, who rushed in between him 
and his assailants, and who got him safely into

fight bravely but indiscreetly, and the next mo¬

to take it up. and it is to be imped he will be able

City of Mexico, June 80, via Havana, July 
6.—Trustworthy Information received here is to 
tlie effect that Juarez will have a majority over 
Ledo arid Diaz Jointly, and that the choice of a 
President will uot devolve upon Congress. I lie 
Jliarlsta will also have ft majority ill Congress. 
It is not deemed likely now that any attempt 
will be made to inaugurate a revolution; but if 
an attempt is made, there is confidence Unit t ie 
revolution begun would soon have an end. All 
parties were guilty of violence aud frauds at the 
elections and n Commission appointed by Con¬ 
gress lias declared the elections in the capital 
illegal. However, the people arc very little 
concerned about the elections, the politicians 
seeming to be tho only ones exercised about 
them. A re-organizatlon of the Cabinet is ex¬ 
pected in September. By the fire in tho Queb- 
radilla Mine at Zacatecas over one hundred 
miners were suffocated. The country is quiet. 
Business is dull; but mining is increasing, and 
tlie mines abandoned since the war with bpam 
i are agaiu worked.
