He was arrested and tried yesterday, bat so remarkable was his con- duct in the halls of justice tbat it was deemed best to examine him for lunacy before the Com- missioners. A «;razy Teuton. Dr. W. Everett, formerly attached to the United States Army, gave a very interesting lecture be- fore the Geographical Society, at their rooms, No. 411 Post street, last evening, on Alaska. The speaker been sent on a tour of exploration by the Government, inthe Summer of 1881, and had traversed the whole region from the vicinityof Bit. St. Elias, at the headwaters of the Yukon River, down the system of numerous lakes, lagoons, passes, trading-post?, etc., for 2,400 miles, to the mouth of the said stream, where its low delta empties into Bearing Sen. The lecture was re- plete with incidents of adventure with savages, boat accidents, lonely travels without a single companion, malarial fever, and various horrors of exploration in an unknown eerni- Arctic land. It is a region of most stupendous scenery, rugged mountains, glaciers, dense forests, avalanches, a bold, broken coast, myriads of fat salmon of hu- man size, elegant river fishing, but very difficult to mine for metal, as the frozen ground and tangled roots preclude sluicing. The explorer met on some occasions as high a temperature as 100 deg. F. and over, fromradiation from mica bluffs on the Yukon of the Ban's rays. Agriculture is, however, impossible in any part of Alaska proper, on account of the intense humidity from constant rainfall. Hay can never be cultivated, although graßs is abundant. It is an artists' pasadise for scenery. •: -, > An Alaskan Trip Detailed Before tbe Oeoeraphlcal Society. THE YUKON RIVER. This body met last night at Haddy's Hall, Geo. Roach in the Chair.

I, The California Tarf and Billiard Exchange re- opened last evening, under circumstances that promise a bright future to the old landmark of patrons of the green cloth. The new tables, car- pets, hangings and f ami tare gave the room a brilliant appearance, and an immense crowd was in attendance all the evening. J. F. B. McCleery and Ben Saylor played an exhibition game at the eight-inch balkline, which attracted much atten- tion, and won them considerable applause. The game was 150 points, and was won by McCleery, who ran out in the 16th inning, when Baylor's string bad 117 buttons shoved up. The winner's average was 9 6-16—very 'good for an exhibition game. -After the game, McCleery gava some mar- velous \u25a0 exhibitions |of trick and fancy play, and IRen the tables were* thrown open. for. the use of the houso patrons. """". ""_ An Event for BUllardlsts. A Whole Block De*lro7Cd-I>OM at Lemi {'; Fifty Thousand. \u25a0 A few minutes after 10 o'clock last night a fire was discovered in Alameda in the block bounded by Walnut street and Encinal avenue and occupied by J. S. Bennett's furniture factory, Barber's plan- ing mill and his lumber yard.' The fire gained such headway as to defy all the efforts of the fire- men, and in spite of all efforts the entire property inthe block was destroyed. The loss is estimated at $50,000. The heat was intense and itwas only by great efforts that the flames were confined to the block. The Porter Grammar School narrowly es- caped destruction. The fire is supposed to have originated in the boiler-room of the furniture fac- tory. A hook and ladder- company from East Oakland came to the assistance of the citizens and did valient service. The loss ia partly covered by insurance. FIRE IN ALAMEDA. Captain Jeff Powers, Inspector of the first night watch, was on board the Gaelic on the night of Jane 28th. Mrs. Slicer came aboard between 7 and 8 o'clock, and he remarked that it was an nn- nsual hour for her to come on board the steamer. She explained that she had forgotten her keys. Witness corrected himself and said that Mrs. Slicer said that she had forgotten her puree in the stew- ardess' stateroom. She was below about twenty- five minutes. On returning to the upper deck she spoke aboat her parse, which ehe said contained $15. When she left the steamer she had two small jars in her hands, which she said cpntained jelly. Witness did not examine the Inspectress, aa it was not his business to search women. He saw opium in the room of the stewardess the next day. He did not think any person visited the stateroom from the time Mrs. Slicer left it until the time the opium was found. He went next morning to Mrs. Slicer' b to get the keys of the stateroom, bat Mrs. Slicer said the stewardess had got them that morn- iag. On cross-examination Captain Powers said his duties were on the main deck, and he was not ina position to see who went into the room of the stewardess daring the night. C. M. Johnson, a police officer, testified to hav- iDg been at Mrs. Slicer's house with Officer Fogarty and an Alta reporter. .His testimony on that point was the same as that of Mr. Fognrty. Mr. Towle made a speech in which he reviewed the testimony and asked that his client be dis- charged. District Attorney Hilborn spoke against the motion, which Commissioner Sawyer denied. The case was continura until this morning at ten o'clock, when Mrs. Slicer will be pat on the wit- ness-stand. INSPECTOR POWEKS TELLS HIS STOBY. W. J. Tinnin, the first witness examined, said he was Surveyor of Customs of this port. He knew the defendant, Mrs. Mary Slicer, who was a Government Inspectrees in the latter part of June last. Her duties were to examine female passen- gers and see that they did not bring ashore duti- able articles. Mrs.' Slicer was on duty after the arrival of the steamer Gaelic at this port in the latter part of last month. Acting oninformation received, witness saw Mr. Fogarty. Here counsel for the defendant objected to anything that might be said by "Tom, Dick or the devil," to which style of language Commissioner Sawyer mildly ob- jected. . Inthe forenoon of June 28th witness and Mr. Fogarty lunched together, and on going up Second street, between Bryant and Brannan, they met Mrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffin, the stewardess of the Gaelic, the- two ladies apparently having something concealed about their persons. This was the forenoon of the day on which Grant was arrested. Officers Sharp and Shepherd were with witness and Mr. Fogarty when the Inspectress and stewardess were met. On cross-examination Surveyor Tinnin said the restaurant at which he had lunched was on Second, bf txeen Brannan and Bryant; the time of lunching between 12 and 1 o'clock p. si. Made no examination of Mrs. Slicer, but thought her man-: ncr and appearance were suspicious. OSTICEB POGABTT TESTIFIES. • , John T. Fogarty said he was a Deputy United States Marshal. On June 28th he was coming up Second street with Surveyor Tinnia, and they met Mrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffin, the latter and the la- epectreee evidently „ being on their wayup; from, the Mail Dock.'-. Tbe women looked bnlkj-, or «s' if they had something concealed about their per- sons. After dinner witness went to Mrs. Slicer'a house, where he saw a man nnder suspicious cir- enmstances, who afterwards proved to be John Grant, arrested that night by witness for opinm smuggling. Witness caw in Mrs. Slicer' s house a serving-woman, the man Grant, and a woman wit- ness thought was Mrs. Slicer. After placing Grant and Frederick Brandt inprison, witness returned to Mrs; Slicer's house. He and F. S. Dv Free, an Alta reporter, went into the house, leaving Offi- cer Johnson in the roar of the . building. Mrs. Slicer, who had been in bed, insisted that witness was a Mr. Edmonds, and he told her that his name was Fogarty, and that he had arrested Grant in coming from her honse, and had also arrested Brandt. - She said she did not know Brandt. She said she had steamship men lodging in her house, and they might have opium. Mrs. Slicer refused to give the mynee ofher lodgers. On cross-examination witness said it was 12 o'clock at night when he returned to Mrs. Slicor's house. Thought she said something aboat being sick. When he met Mrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffin on Second street, he thought there was something suspicious in their looks and manner. Did not examine them ; thought it better policy to give them rope. Witness was satisfied that he saw opinm being taken from Mrs. Slicer's • house ; found it on Grant. He saw the serving-woman and Grant moving in the honse ; also a woman he supposed to be Mrs. Slicer. The latter had pack- ages in her hands. BtJEVEYOB TINHINON THE STAND. When the hour arrived for the examination of Sirs. Mary Slicer, under bonds on a charge of smuggling opium, there was a delay of aboat twenty minntee, caused by the absence of United States District Attorney Hilborn, who was engaged in another portion of the Appraiser's Building. During . the delay there was a sharp exchange of words between JohhT. Fogarty, Acting Deputy United States Marshal, and George H. Towle, the attorney who has appeared for all the smugglers. Fogarty led off with : "I understand : you ap- plied some strong language to me the other day.' lam not ' a liar ' or ' a perjurer,' and if you -use such language again I will hold you responsible." Towle countered by declaring his willingness to meet any responsibility. He afterward stated, in substance, that in the Gnfilncase he had said* that Fogarty on the witness-stand had made statements which were not borne out by the facts of the case. ."The papers," said Fogartv,' "quoted you as hav- ing used the words 'liar' and 'periurer,'" to which Towle replied, with a strong insinuation, that reporters were not infallible, and, in fact, had been known in a very few instances not to be reliable.. About this time Commissioner Sawyer put in an appearance, followed by United States District Attorney Hilborn, and the examination was commenced.

GRAND ARMY REPUBLIC. Important Meeting of the General Committee on Management. TROUBLES OF THE FINANCIERS. The Parade at Night—Attempt to Muzzle the Press- Miscellaneous Information for Comrades— A a Miserable Canard Nailed. At a meeting of the General Committee on Man- agement, held last evening, Comrade Backus pre- sided, with Comrade Bartling as Secretary. A quorum was barely present at the opening, bat the number was augmented during the evening. Min- utes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Naval Legion announced its intention to form a Poet, and Department Commander Smed- berg said a charter would be granted on applica- tion. ' Colonel McElroy and Kate B. Sherwood, repre- senting the National Tribune of Washington, an- nounced that they would hold headquarters at the Occidental during Encampment week. The Mayor of Oakland formally extended a hearty welcome to visiting Comrades Monday, August 9th, which was accepted. The Chair announced -that no information had been received from San Jos6 relating to the pro- posed trip of Comrades to that place daring the Encampment ; that no notice had been taken of the communications sent, bat, on the contrary, the committee's action had been treated wuh silent contempt. Considerable justifiable asperity was indulged in by different members in relation to the matter, and there seemed to be a unanimous sentiment that the committee's overtures had not been properly treated. The Secretary was in- structed to write and ascertain if itwas incon- templation on the part of San Jose citizens to re- ceive and entertain visiting Comrades on August 10th, otherwise different arrangements would be made to fill up the time with something else inthe way of pleasure for visitors. Adjutant-General Cosby formally announced the acceptance of the Governor and his Staff to be present at the crand parade, August Sd. Commodore Belknap, at Mare Island, sent a let- ter of regrets, in which he gave his reasons not being able to furnish any marines to para w with the Grand Army. Comrade E. B. Thomas, of Lincoln Post, was added to the Committee on Campfire. THE PAKADE AT NIGHT. The Grand Marshal announced the following order for the night parade : Form on Montgomery, with right resting on Bash, thence to Market, to Larkin, to the Pavilion. The Society of the Army of the Potomac was given the sum of $50 for incidental expenses. Comrade Charles E. Wilson stated that bids had been adverslsed for furnishing refreshments on the steamers on Excursion Day ; that the head- quarters of the committee had been fixedat Easton & Eldridge's office. He asked that the earn of $100 be famished the committee for contingent expenses, which was granted. Comrade J. M. Davis gave a verbal report of a favorable character regarding arrangements for the coming entertainment on Wednesday evening. Comrade Giesting made a report in relation to the Flambean Club, which will give an exhibition drill on Van Ness avenue, near Fulton street, to- morrow evening at 8 o'clock. He also stated that the Club would be in appropriate uniform and have a large number, of appropriate pyrotechnic displays on the night ' of the parade, ' with' which the Club would proceed to create a " boom." ' TROUBLE OF THE JTINANCIEBS. The Finance Committee reported favorably, to which Comrade Backus added that the Auditing Committee had carefully examined the accounts tbuß far rendered and found everything correct. He thought that with the assistance of the public press many tubscribers who had not yet paid their donations mightbe induced to do so. It was the intention of the Committee to soon publish the names of those who had subscribed and he regret- ted to say that from many whom the committee had hoped to secure subscriptions none had been obtained, and as the parties referred to were re- garded as patriotic citizens, the fact that they had not subscribed anything was the* more lament- able. Comrade Litohfield, of the Finance Committee, stated that all the street railways had subscribed, bat one of oar large hotels, from which a liberal amount was expected, had not yet pat its name on the subscription-book. He said that he woold nee every endeavor to get such subscriptions as have not yet been paid before the Ist of August. He also proposed to give the names of the hotels which had subscribed, and the amounts, but the proposition was immediately opposed by many, in a quiet manner. Comrade Backus at once arose and stated that it was very wellunderstood that the hotel which had not subscribed was the Lick House. Comrade Litchfield confirmed this, and said that while the Lick House had not absolutely refused, still he would not call again upon th 9 proprietor. The Palace, Occidental, Baldwin and Ross House had all liberally subscribed, and smaller hotels, he thought, had given according to their means. Comrade Litchfield had worn oat four pairs of boots in the past four months, and he was getting tired ofhis labors. Ifthe Committee desires the services of any other for the purpose, ha was quite willing to relinquish his position as Secretary of the Finance Committee. Comrade Salomon suggested that the action of the Lick House should be made known to Com- rades who will come. . Both* Comrades Holmes and J. M. Davis depre- cated any action tending to provoke a farther re- fusal on the part of the Lick House to subscribe. MCZZLINO THE PBESS. Comrade Eggleston moved that it was the sense of the committee that the press should refrain from publishing anything aboat the discussion, but it was quickly subdued by opposition from Comrades Stuart Taylor, Mason Kinne, J. M. Davis and Ed. S. Salomon. The Committee on Hotels and Accommodations reported that outside of hotels and lodging- houses the committee was able thus far to secure accommodations for 8,000 people. Comrade Staples reported that a competent caterer had been secured to perform his dati<w in connection with the grand banquet and placed under a bond ot $5,000 to fulfill. Comrade John T. Catting of the Mechanics' Pa- vilion Committee made a verbal report of a favor- able character with respect to many details which have been and are being arranged to place the Pa- vilion in proper condition for Encampment week. Comrade' Salomon reported that at the next meeting fall plans of the Committee will be pre- sented. Comrade Cashin, for tnelCommittee on Streets, presented a report which from time to time has already been presented to the Alta'3 readers. Comrade Kinne spoke aboat the mannfactnre of an almost fae simile Grand Army badge which is being extensively sold in this city. Unless the manufacture and sale is stopped by some means the wearing of the badge referred to will lead to endless confusion, as many entertainments can be attended by any one wearing the badge. The Chair was authorized to act in the premises and to take allnecessary steps to prevent the man- ufacture and sale of such badges, even to securing legal aid. A resolution was \u25a0, adopted authorizing the De- partment Commander not to assign the so-called Naval Legion to a position in line of the proces- sion on Parade Day. The Chair instructed all sub-committees which have not already made written reports to have mch '. prepared for presentation next Wednesday evening,' as the same was of paramount importance to the General ' Committee to enable it to act in- telligently upon matters. \u25a0 The committee then went into execntivn session. \u25a0 ;thx press ooancirrxx. The Press Committee met last evening and com- SCHOOL MATTERS. pleted all necessary arrangements that could ba effected pertaining to its duties. Next Wednes- day evening there will be held a general meeting of this committee for the transaction of business, at the Press Committee rooms, Nos. 3, 9 and 10 Grand Hotel, on which occasion the headquarters of the committee there will be open and all mem- bers are arced to be present. Tweaty-two years ago yesterday Alajor-Ganeral McPheraon, commanding the Army of the Tan- neeeee, was killed ia front of Atlanta whilere- pulsing an attack of the Confederates under Hood. The engagement was one of the hottest which took place daring the campaign about Atlanta, and aa eye-witness to the scene told the Alt.v's represen- tative yesterday that when an aid-de-camp roda up to Sherman and excitedly informed him that McPherson was killed and the left wing of tha Military Division of the Mississippi hopelessly demoralized, that Sherman said. Who is in command f" Upon being informed that it was Logan. "Old Tecum- sah " broke out with ** Go back young man, it's all *}***•. I never believe anything I hear and only half that I sea." Hia Judgement of Logan was correct, for "Black Jack" and hia gallant army soon repossessed themselves of the earthworks and bravely held the line intact, insuring tbe ultimata capture of Atlanta. JUSCZXLAN'IOCS SOTXS. The grand arch on Market street is beginning to assume symmetrical proportions, which, added to its majestic appearance, attracts the attention of hundreds of Grand Army visitors now in the city. Yesterday headquarters of the General Commit- tee were decorated with banting, flags, etc., and now present quite a holiday appearance. Bock of the Chairman's desk there are grouped and festooned two large camp flags withthe G. A. U. badge suspended inthe centre. The gas fixtures have groups of small flags about them, and long pennants of red, white and blue banting reach from the central chandelier in almoss every direction. The Army of the Potomac will hold ita banquet at Pioneers' Hall instead of Odd Fellows'. Tick- ets for the occasion to members of the organiza- tion will be (3 each. It has been decided to tar- nish fiftytickets to prominent citizens who may desire to attend at a cost of f 5 each ticket. They are for sale by the Secretary, Colonel W. B. Par- nell. The W. R.

On the return of General Sherman, Lyons and Appomatox Posts of Oakland will tender that dis- tinguished soldier a reception. A large number ofbills were yesterday examined and audited by the Auditing Committee, having been found correct. Last evening four hundred male singers met ia Eintracht Hall on Post street and rendered sereral choruses with good effect. Next Sunday, at 2 o'clock, there will be a general rehearsal by mala and female voices. A MISZBABLX C.UVAIiD. There is a circular being distributed throughout the country severely reflecting on General J. ilaJ- ieon Drake, of the Veteran Zouaves, Grant Post, No. 93, Department of New Jersey, in which he Is charged with alzno&t every crime ia the military decalogue. It is alleged to be the work of jealona rivals in some of the Grand Army Posts of Ns-v Jersey and contiguous ones. If such ia the case it shows-ft-total lack of comradeship and ' disregard; for those principles which govern the Grand Army organisation. Among other things the circular charges General Drake withcowardice and lack oC soldierly qualities, statins, among othec things, that he appropriated money collected by the command to his own personal uses ; thaS he WBB despised by all the best people in the city of Elizabeth, N. J.; that he terrorized hia men ; that he insulted the memory of General Grant by taking his name for the Post ; that he hurrahed for Aithur when Garfield was assassinated and was mobbed for it ; that he and his command had beaa promised royal receptions throaghont the coan- try by veterans, who, if they knew those things, would treat him with contempt. Iaconclusion, the circular requested all soldiers and sailors, veterans of the war, to refrain from*making any demonstration In his honor or that of hia com- mand until they investigated the truth of thesa charges. The matter is characterized by the Elizabeth, N. J., Eerald in an editorial as a base and men- dacious falsehood, and declares it to be the work of unprincipled men. The New Jersey edition of. the New York World claims that General Drake's record as a soldier, which it has examined, is without a blemiah, and one of the best. Tbe He Aice Inqueas.

Dr. W. Everett, formerly attached to the UnitedStates Army,gave a very interesting lecture be-fore the Geographical Society, at their rooms, No.411 Post street, last evening, on Alaska.

The lecture was re-plete with incidents of adventure with savages,boat accidents, lonely travels without a singlecompanion, malarial fever, and various horrors ofexploration inan unknown eerni- Arctic land. Itis a region of most stupendous scenery, ruggedmountains, glaciers, dense forests, avalanches, abold, broken coast, myriads of fat salmon of hu-man size, elegant river fishing, but very difficultto mine for metal, as the frozen ground andtangled roots preclude sluicing. The explorer meton some occasions as high a temperature as 100deg. F. and over, fromradiation frommica bluffson the Yukon ofthe Ban's rays. Agriculture is,however, impossible inany part of Alaska proper,on account of the intense humidity from constantrainfall. Hay can never be cultivated, althoughgraßs is abundant.

\u25a0 A few minutes after 10 o'clock last night a firewas discovered in Alameda inthe block boundedby Walnut street and Encinal avenue and occupiedby J. S. Bennett's furniture factory, Barber's plan-ing mill and his lumber yard.' The fire gainedsuch headway as todefy all the efforts of the fire-men, and inspite of allefforts the entire propertyinthe block was destroyed. The loss is estimatedat $50,000. The heat was intense and itwas onlyby great efforts that the flames wereconfined to theblock. The Porter Grammar School narrowly es-caped destruction. The fire is supposed to haveoriginated in the boiler-room of the furniture fac-tory. A hook and ladder- company from EastOakland came to the assistance of the citizens anddid valient service. The loss iapartly covered byinsurance.
FIRE IN ALAMEDA.
Captain Jeff Powers, Inspector of the first nightwatch, was on board the Gaelic on the night ofJane 28th. Mrs. Slicer came aboard between 7and 8 o'clock, and he remarked that it was an nn-nsual hour forher to come on board the steamer.She explained that she had forgotten her keys.Witness corrected himself and said that Mrs.Slicersaid that she had forgotten her puree in the stew-ardess' stateroom. She was below about twenty-fiveminutes. On returning to the upper deck shespoke aboat her parse, which ehe said contained$15. When she left the steamer she had two smalljars in her hands, which she said cpntained jelly.Witness did not examine the Inspectress, aa itwasnot his business to search women. He saw opiumin the room of the stewardess the next day. Hedid not think any person visited the stateroomfrom the time Mrs. Slicer left ituntil the time theopium was found. He went next morning to Mrs.Slicer' b to get the keys ofthe stateroom, bat Mrs.Slicer said the stewardess had got them thatmorn-iag. On cross-examination Captain Powers saidhis duties were on the main deck, and he was notina position to see who went into the room of thestewardess daring the night.
C. M.Johnson, apolice officer, testified to hav-iDg been at Mrs. Slicer's house with OfficerFogarty and an Alta reporter. .His testimony onthat point was the same as that of Mr.Fognrty.
Mr.Towle made a speech in which he reviewedthe testimony and asked that his client be dis-charged. District Attorney Hilborn spoke againstthe motion, which Commissioner Sawyer denied.The case was continura until this morning at teno'clock, when Mrs. Slicer will be pat on the wit-ness-stand.
INSPECTOR POWEKS TELLS HIS STOBY.
W. J. Tinnin, the first witness examined, saidhe was Surveyor of Customs of this port. Heknew the defendant, Mrs. Mary Slicer, who was aGovernment Inspectrees in the latter part of Junelast. Her duties were to examine female passen-gers and see that they did not bring ashore duti-able articles. Mrs.' Slicer was on duty after thearrival of the steamer Gaelic at this port in thelatter part of last month. Acting oninformationreceived, witness saw Mr.Fogarty. Here counselfor the defendant objected toanything that mightbe said by "Tom, Dick or the devil," to whichstyle of language Commissioner Sawyer mildlyob-jected. . Inthe forenoon of June 28th witness andMr.Fogarty lunched together, and on going upSecond street, between Bryant and Brannan, theymet Mrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffin, the stewardess ofthe Gaelic, the- two ladies apparently havingsomething concealed about their persons. Thiswas the forenoon of the day on which Grant wasarrested. Officers Sharp and Shepherd were withwitness and Mr.Fogarty when the Inspectress andstewardess were met.
On cross-examination Surveyor Tinnin said therestaurant at which he had lunched was onSecond, bf txeen Brannan and Bryant; the time oflunching between 12 and 1o'clock p. si. Made noexamination of Mrs. Slicer, but thought her man-:ncr and appearance were suspicious.
OSTICEB POGABTT TESTIFIES. • ,John T. Fogarty said he was a Deputy United
States Marshal. On June 28th he was coming upSecond street with Surveyor Tinnia, and they metMrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffin, the latter and the la-epectreee evidently „being on their wayup; from,
the MailDock.'-. Tbe women looked bnlkj-,or «s'ifthey had something concealed about their per-sons. After dinner witness went toMrs. Slicer'ahouse, where he saw a man nnder suspicious cir-enmstances, who afterwards proved to be JohnGrant, arrested that night by witness foropinmsmuggling. Witness caw inMrs. Slicer' s house aserving-woman, the man Grant, and a woman wit-ness thought was Mrs. Slicer. After placing Grantand Frederick Brandt inprison, witness returnedto Mrs;Slicer's house. He and F. S. DvFree, anAlta reporter, went into the house, leaving Offi-cer Johnson in the roar of the.building.Mrs. Slicer, who had been inbed, insisted thatwitness was a Mr. Edmonds, and he told her thathis name was Fogarty, and that he had arrestedGrant in coming from her honse, and had alsoarrested Brandt.
-She said she did not know
Brandt. She said she had steamship men lodginginher house, and they might have opium. Mrs.Slicer refused to give the mynee ofher lodgers.
On cross-examination witness said it was 12o'clock at night when he returned to Mrs. Slicor'shouse. Thought she said something aboat beingsick. When he met Mrs. Slicer and Mrs. Guffinon Second street, he thought there was somethingsuspicious in their looks and manner. Didnotexamine them ;thought it better policy to givethem rope. Witness was satisfied that he sawopinm being taken from Mrs. Slicer's •house ;found it on Grant. He saw the serving-womanand Grant moving in the honse ;also a woman hesupposed to be Mrs. Slicer. The latter had pack-ages inher hands.
BtJEVEYOB TINHINON THE STAND.
When the hour arrived for the examination ofSirs. Mary Slicer, under bonds on a charge ofsmuggling opium, there was a delay of aboattwenty minntee, caused by the absence of UnitedStates District Attorney Hilborn, who was engagedin another portion of the Appraiser's Building.During. the delay there was a sharp exchange ofwords between JohhT. Fogarty, Acting DeputyUnited States Marshal, and George H. Towle, theattorney who has appeared for all the smugglers.Fogarty led off with:"Iunderstand :you ap-plied some strong language tome the other day.'lam not
'a liar
'or'a perjurer,' and ifyou -use
such language again Iwillhold you responsible."Towle countered by declaring his willingness tomeet any responsibility. He afterward stated, insubstance, that in the Gnfilncase he had said* thatFogarty on the witness-stand had made statementswhich were not borne out by the facts of the case.
."The papers," said Fogartv,' "quoted you as hav-ing used the words 'liar' and 'periurer,'" towhich Towle replied, witha strong insinuation,that reporters were not infallible, and, infact,had been known ina very few instances not tobereliable.. About this time Commissioner Sawyerputinan appearance, followed by United StatesDistrict Attorney Hilborn, and the examinationwas commenced.

TROUBLES OF THE FINANCIERS.
The Parade at Night—Attempt to Muzzle the Press-Miscellaneous Information for Comrades— A
a Miserable Canard Nailed.
Ata meeting of the General Committee on Man-agement, held last evening, Comrade Backus pre-sided, with Comrade Bartling as Secretary. Aquorum was barely present at the opening, bat thenumber was augmented during the evening. Min-utes of the last meeting were read and approved.
The Naval Legion announced its intention toform aPoet, and Department Commander Smed-berg said a charter would be granted on applica-tion.
'Colonel McElroy and Kate B. Sherwood, repre-
senting the National Tribune of Washington, an-nounced that they would hold headquarters at theOccidental during Encampment week.
The Mayor of Oakland formally extended ahearty welcome to visiting Comrades Monday,August 9th, which was accepted.
The Chair announced -that no information hadbeen received from San Jos6 relating to the pro-posed trip of Comrades to that place daring theEncampment ;that no notice had been taken ofthe communications sent, bat, on the contrary,the committee's action had been treated wuhsilent contempt. Considerable justifiable asperitywas indulged inby different members inrelationto the matter, and there seemed to be aunanimoussentiment that the committee's overtures had notbeen properly treated. The Secretary was in-structed to write and ascertain if itwas incon-templation on the part of San Jose citizens tore-ceive and entertain visiting Comrades on August10th, otherwise different arrangements would bemade to fillup the time with something else inthewayof pleasure for visitors.
Adjutant-General Cosby formally announcedthe acceptance of the Governor and his Staff tobepresent at the crand parade, August Sd.
Commodore Belknap, at Mare Island, sent a let-ter of regrets, in which he gave his reasonsnot being able to furnish any marines to para wwith the Grand Army.

He also stated thatthe Club would be in appropriate uniform andhave a large number, of appropriate pyrotechnicdisplays on the night
'of the parade, 'with' which
the Club would proceed tocreate a"
boom."'
TROUBLE OF THE JTINANCIEBS.The Finance Committee reported favorably, to
which Comrade Backus added that the AuditingCommittee had carefully examined the accountstbuß far rendered and found everything correct.He thought that with the assistance of the publicpress many tubscribers who had not yet paid theirdonations mightbe induced to do so. It was theintention of the Committee to soon publish thenames of those whohad subscribed and he regret-ted to say that from many whom the committeehad hoped to secure subscriptions none had beenobtained, and as the parties referred to were re-garded as patriotic citizens, the fact that they hadnot subscribed anything was the*more lament-able.
Comrade Litohfield, of the Finance Committee,stated that all the street railways had subscribed,bat one of oar large hotels, from which a liberalamount was expected, hadnot yet pat its name onthe subscription-book. He said that he wooldnee every endeavor to get such subscriptions ashave not yet been paid before the Ist of August.He also proposed to give the names of the hotelswhich had subscribed, and the amounts, but theproposition was immediately opposed by many, ina quiet manner.
Comrade Backus at once arose and stated that itwas very wellunderstood that the hotel which hadnot subscribed was the Lick House.
Comrade Litchfield confirmed this, and said thatwhile the Lick House had not absolutely refused,stillhe would not call again upon th9proprietor.The Palace, Occidental, Baldwin and Ross Househad all liberally subscribed, and smaller hotels,he thought, had given according to their means.Comrade Litchfield had worn oat four pairs ofboots in the past four months, and he was gettingtired ofhis labors. Ifthe Committee desires theservices ofany other for the purpose, ha wasquitewillingto relinquish his position as Secretary ofthe Finance Committee.
Comrade Salomon suggested that the action ofthe Lick House should be made known to Com-rades who willcome..Both* Comrades Holmes and J. M. Davis depre-cated any action tending toprovoke a farther re-fusal on the part of the Lick House to subscribe.
MCZZLINO THE PBESS.
Comrade Eggleston moved that itwas the senseofthe committee that the press should refrain frompublishing anything aboat the discussion, butitwas quickly subdued by opposition from ComradesStuart Taylor, Mason Kinne, J. M.Davis and Ed.S. Salomon.
The Committee on Hotels and Accommodationsreported that outside of hotels and lodging-houses the committee was able thus far to secureaccommodations for 8,000 people.
Comrade Staples reported that a competentcaterer had been secured to perform his dati<w inconnection with the grand banquet and placedunder a bond ot $5,000 to fulfill.
Comrade John T. Catting of the Mechanics' Pa-vilion Committee made a verbal report ofa favor-able character with respect to many details whichhave been and are being arranged to place the Pa-vilion in proper condition forEncampment week.
Comrade' Salomon reported that at the nextmeeting fallplans of the Committee willbe pre-sented.
Comrade Cashin, for tnelCommittee on Streets,presented a report which from time to time hasalready been presented to the Alta'3 readers.
Comrade Kinne spoke aboat the mannfactnre ofan almost fae simile Grand Army badge whichis being extensively sold in this city. Unlessthe manufacture and sale is stopped by somemeans the wearing of the badge referred to willlead toendless confusion, as many entertainmentscan be attended by any one wearing the badge.The Chair was authorized to act in the premisesand to take allnecessary steps toprevent the man-ufacture and sale of such badges, even to securinglegal aid.
A resolution was \u25a0, adopted authorizing the De-partment Commander not toassign the so-calledNaval Legion toa position in line of the proces-sion on Parade Day.
The Chair instructed all sub-committees whichhave not already made written reports to havemch '.prepared for presentation next Wednesdayevening,' as the same was ofparamount importanceto the General
'Committee to enable itto act in-
telligently upon matters.\u25a0 The committee then went into execntivn session.

Tweaty-two years ago yesterday Alajor-GaneralMcPheraon, commanding the Army of the Tan-neeeee, was killed ia front of Atlanta whilere-pulsing an attack of the Confederates under Hood.The engagement was one of the hottest which tookplace daring the campaign about Atlanta, and aaeye-witness to the scene told the Alt.v's represen-tative yesterday that when an aid-de-camp rodaup to Sherman and excitedly informed him thatMcPherson was killed and the left wing of thaMilitary Division of the Mississippihopelessly demoralized, that Sherman said.Who is in command f" Upon beinginformed that it was Logan.

A MISZBABLX C.UVAIiD.There is a circular being distributed throughout
the country severely reflecting on General J. ilaJ-ieon Drake, of the Veteran Zouaves, Grant Post,No. 93, Department of New Jersey, in whichhe Ischarged with alzno&t every crime ia the militarydecalogue. Itis alleged to be the work of jealonarivals insome of the Grand Army Posts of Ns-vJersey and contiguous ones. If such ia the case itshows-ft-total lack of comradeship and
'disregard;for those principles which govern the Grand Armyorganisation. Among other things the circularcharges General Drake withcowardice and lack oCsoldierly qualities, statins, among othecthings, that he appropriated money collected by thecommand to his own personal uses ; thaShe WBB despised by all the best people in the cityof Elizabeth, N. J.; that he terrorized hia men ;that he insulted the memory of General Grant bytaking his name for the Post ;that he hurrahedfor Aithur when Garfield was assassinated and wasmobbed forit;that he and his command had beaapromised royal receptions throaghont the coan-try by veterans, who, if they knew those things,would treat him with contempt. Iaconclusion,the circular requested all soldiers and sailors,veterans of the war, to refrain from*making anydemonstration In his honor or that of hia com-mand until they investigated the truth of thesacharges.
The matter is characterized by the Elizabeth,N. J., Eerald in an editorial as abase and men-dacious falsehood, and declares itto be the workof unprincipled men. The New Jersey edition of.the New York World claims that General Drake'srecord as a soldier, which it has examined, iswithout a blemiah, and one of the best.
