Stanley Matthews Answers About
Ohio.
A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says Stanley Matthews is “very much
exercised o<«: the coming Ohio elec
tion, as he would be extremely delighted
to secure a full term of six years in the
Senate iu addition to the brief period
for which he has been elected. He re
alizes that the chances of a Republican
Legislature are somewhat uncertain, and
he wants all the help which he can ob
tain from this quarter. The relations
which subsist between Mr. Matthews and
Secretary Sherman are not of the Damon
and Pythias style, and the two therefore
have had very little to say to each other.
It is suspected, indeed, by the friends of
Mr. Matthews that Secretary Sherman is
at present in a wavering mood as to
whether he will remain in the Cabinet,
and that circumstances with him are
such that in case of the election of a
Republican Legislature he may conclude
to try to get back to the Senate himself.
This he could do and still remain in the
Cabinet till March, 1871*. Be this as it
may, it is understood that Mr. Matthews
is very muoh troubled over the financial
policy of S cretary Sherman, or rather
over the allegations as to what that poli
cy is. The greenback and silver advo
cate papers all over Ohio, of both Re
publican aud Democratic parties, are as
sailing Mr. Sherman every day for his
management of the finances. A friend
of Mr. Matthews states that be has told
the President that if Mr. Sherman’s
policy is persisted in it will lose the
State of Ohio to the Republicans by
twenty thousand majority.”
In response to the letter of Hon. Elihu
D. Washburne to ex-President Grant in

it will at present be impossible to do so,

present intention is to make an extended
Eurojiean tour, embracing Sweden and
Norway, and then visit Switzerland, his
programme of route possibly including
the ueual Italian cities visited by tourists.

come to the palace every day and take
their places at the tables where the mate-
rails sr’ distributed.

The Savannah Sails—A Terr Defect
ive System.
! There is nothing more essential to a
business community, or more detrimental
to its interests when wanting, than a good
mail system, which will insure a prompt
aud rapid transmission aud delivery of
correspondence between all classes, espe
cially merchants, aud our city is suffering
grsatly at this very time from the lack of
just suoh a system. We publish elsewhere
communication on this subject, sent us
by one of the leading cotton merchants
of Savannah. From this it be teen
that the difficulty under which we
labor lies in the long delay of
the mails between thic point and New
York, and that the whole source of the
trouble is to be traced to the length of
time oonsnmed between Florence, South
Carolina, and Savannah. The distance is
only two hundred and six miles, and
yet the mail train from Florence at 10:10
p. m. does not arrive in this city until
3:45 p. m. the following day, nearly
eighteen hours, and since it requires a
full hour at the post office for distribu
tion of the mail after its arrival, it is as
late as 5 p. m. before the business men
of the city can begin to attend to their
correspondence. It is therefore appa
rent that duringthe season when business
is lively, and every moment is valuable,
this correspondence cannot be promptly
looked after, unless everything else is
discarded and the whole of the night be
devoted simply to answering letters. Nor
is this the most serious view of the case.
Frequently important letters require im
portant information to be given; informa
tion which it takes time to obtain, and
which, after five o’clock in the evening,
it is often too late to obtain, so the
letters have to remain over until the next
day, and thus much time is lost.
What then is almost an imperative
necessity is a system by which mails can
be received here in the morning and dis
patched in the afternoon of the same
day, and it seems that this may very
readily be effected.
As we have stated, it now takes nearly
eighteen hours, or, in exaot figures, seven
teen hours end thirty-five minutes,to tra
verse the distance from Florence a very
small fraction over twelve miles an hour.
The 10:10 p. m. train from that point
arrives at Charleston at five a. m., but
does not leave that city for Savannah
until 9 a. m., thereby occasioning a delay
of Jour hours at the former point. Now,
all that is needed is for the rate of 6peed
to be increased to an average of twenty
miles an hour. Then the same train will
arrive here in ten hours aud a half, so
that instead of reaching here in the
evening as at present, it would get here
at not later than 9 o’clock in the morn
ing. This would obviate the whole diffi
culty: for by it our business men would
secure ample time to examine their cor
respondence, do all that is necessary in
the way of obtaining information, write
their letters and send them off by the
outgoing train leaving here about four p.
m., so as to arrive at Florence at fifteen
minutes past two the next morning, as at
present. And also, if such a change
were accomplished, the time in which a
ietter could be sent from New York
here aud an answer received there would
be, at the outside, only eighty-four
hours, whereas now, by the closest cal
culation, one hundred and ten hours is
required—a difference of more than an
entire day. It will be seen then
that the simple remedy suggested is
all that is needed iu the matter.
This is a subject of such vital
interest to our merchants, that we dwell
upon it with especial emphasis. Twenty
miles an hour is very moderate speed for
any railroad. But even should this, for
any cause, be impracticable on the roads
between here and Florence, if that four
hours delay at Charleston were only done
away with, a very slight increase of
speed would accomplish the desired pur
pose.
We therefore call the attention of the
officials of the two roads between Savan
nah and Florence, the “Savannah and
Charleston” and the “Northeastern,” to
these suggestions. These roads are
common carriers, and depend large
ly upon the commercial com
munity of our section for support; they
should, therefore, certainly do all in their
power to meet the wants of the
community. The prosperity of every
commercial city is dependent upon the
prosperity of her merchants, and the
prosperity of merchants depends largely
upon prompt, rapid, reliable and ener
getic mail facilities, for with iperchauts
more than with any other one class in the
world, most emphatically, time is
money.
Political Necessities.—“Political ne
cessity’’ is the new name for civil service
reform, as practised by Joe Bradley’s ad-
ministration. A Washington dispatch
says: “Mr. Talbott, the Solicitor of the
Treasury, has resigned in respouse to the
request of Secretary Sherman, who stated
that the resignation was asked as a poli
tical necessity, the place of solicitor be
ing desired for another man. Secretary
Sherman also said that in a short time he
would be compelled for the same reason
to ask the resignation of other heads of
bureaus. Mr. Talbott immediately ten
dered bis resignation, and it is under
stood that he will not return to bis desk,
as he thinks he has been badly treated,
as the President told him a few days ago
that his place was not wanted. Mr. Tal
bott was a personal friend of ex-Secretary
Morril), by whom he was appointed So
licitor of the Treasury.”
Charley Ross’ Whereabouts.—John
Stevenson, an ex-convict, who was con
fined until quite reoently in the Illinois
penitentiary for the crime of burglary
committed near Jacksonville four years
ago, has made a confession that be knows
the present whereabouts of Charley Ross,
who he says was living last winter with u
family named Cregg, residing near Leav
enworth, Kansas. Stevenson swears that
be is perfectly familiar with the details
leading to the abduction, but for reasons
of bis own will not make them publicly
known. He says that Charley Ross was
during the month of April within twenty
five miles of his old home, and a few
days ago in Louisville, Ky.
A Significant Occubbence.—At Que
bec, Canada, on the 7th inst., when Bat
tery B was paraded, the commandant.
Col. Strange, addressed the men on the
merits of the English military service,
and invited them to join some British
regiment for active service, adding, as an
inducement, that volunteers would have
their passage and expenses to the mother
country paid. A number of men volun
teered.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.)
says that “the people of Ohio have
abandoned rum and Democracy for so
briety and Republicanism." There was
a time when the editor of the Globe-
Democrat was not so enthusiastic over
those who abandoned rum. It was just
before he was sent to the penitentiary for
crooked whisky practices.
Over three thousand Chinese landed at
San Francisco during the month of May,
and more are ooming. A panic on the
Pacific slope is threatened in oonse-
quenoe.
Oar Consular Sjstf*.
If civil servioe reform is ever to be a
fixed (act in this country, in no particu
lar will its benefits be more plainly seen
than in our consular system. Under the
1 oldreyiVne United States consulships have
. been regarded only as good rewards for
| political services, or as opportunities for
I either pensioning off or enriohing rela
tives, friends and favorites. In this, as in
everything else, very little, if any regard
has been paid to honesty.capaoity or integ
rity in making the appointments, and the
consequence is that our system has fallen
into disrepute. Our foreign consuls
have gotten into the habit of aitting down
quietly, lookirg upon their offices as sine
cures, drawing their salaries with com
mendable promptness, aud permitting
our commercial interests to take care of
themselves.
This is particularly manifest in the case
of South America. That oountry is one
of no mean importance ; its trade is ex
tensive and valuable, and the United
States ought to receive the benefit there
of. Yet what is the real state of the case ?
By far the lion's share of that trade goes
to Europe, and the simple reason for it is
that in European countries a consul is
regarded as “an officer appointed by com
petent authority to reaide in foreign coun
tries in the view of facilitating and ex
tending the commerce carried on between
the subjects of the country which ap
points him, and those of the country or
place where he resides.”
Great Britain, for instance, requires of
her appointees to live np to the definition
of the title, consul, aud so, while in
South America American Consuls spend
their time obit fly in smoking oigarettes,
sleeping in hammocks, and imbibing rum
or “aguadiente," those of Great Britain
are engaged in facilitating commerce be
tween the home oountry and that in
which they reside.
Great Britain, therefore, receives
large portion of South American trade:
we in this country scarely any. This is
another one of the legacies left us by the
Grant rule. Mr. Hayes has been promis
ing for a long time to effect a change.
When he is ready to carry out his promise
he will fiud this consular system of ours
a splendid point at which to begin.
Lerdo de Tejada, ex-Fresident and
claimant of the Mexican Presidency, has
given his views on the late order to Gen.
Ord, as to pursuing Mexican raiders, in a
communication published in the New
York World. Lerdo says:
It is to be hoped that no snch case as
the order contemplates may arise, nor
any cause of misunderstanding between
the two countries. If, unfortunately,
this hope should not be verified, Mexico
could not consent to allow American
troops to enter her territory without sub
mitting to a violation of her rights as a
sovereign and independent nation,
must say, therefore, not only in my own
name, but in that of all ihe supporters of
the constitutional government, that nei
ther for the purpose of restoring it, nor
f-.-r any purpose, can we fail to fulfill our
duty in the presence of any peril to the
autonomy and the rights of Mexico. The
constitutional government will seek no
help save from the opinion and action of
the Mexican people, holding sacred above
all things the honor, the integrity and
the independence of the country.
This doubtless represents the views of
Mexicans generally. They will construe
a pursuit of raiders by United States
troops as an invasion, and in that case
we may find even Lerdo, Iglesias and
Diaz fighting on the same side.
Elections fob This Yeah.—Twelve
States will hold elections during the
present year, to- wit: Kentucky, August
6; Vermont, September 4; California,
September 5; Maine, September 10;
Iowa and Ohio, October 9, and Massa
chusetts, Mississippi, New York, Penn
sylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, No
vember C. In fonr of these States
Legislatures are to be chosen, which will
furnish successors to a like number of
United States Senators whose terms ex
pire on March 4, 1879, viz: Kentucky,
New York, Ohio and California, in all of
which it is probable the Democrats will
be successful.

The imports at the port of New York
continue to increase in a very important
ratio, the receipts of May amounting to
$28,700,000, against $23,600,000 for the
same month of 1876. The two months
April and May show an increase of
$10,100,000 over the same period of last
year, a gain at the rate of $60,000,000
per annum. This, remarks the Dulletiri.
is the most substantial evidence that has
yet appeared of an improvement in busi
ness and a change from the late abnormal
condition of our exchanges.
Anotheb Liberal Benefaction by Mb.
Cokcoban.--A Washington dispatch to the
New York World says the well known
philanthropist, W. W. Corcoran, has or-
derod his agents to distribute $20,000
among the poor men and women who
have been recently thrown out of employ
ment by reason of a reduction in the de
partments. Mr. Corooran has entirely
recovered from his recent severe illness,
and goes for the summer to the White
Sulphur Springs.
A dispatch from Hot Creek, Wyoming
states that on Thursday morning the
coach from Deadwood was stopped by
two “road agents,” twenty-five miles
north of Hot Creek. The messenger was
ordered to throw out the treasure box,
which he did, and the robbers then told
the driver to go ahead. No attempt was
made to rob or molest the passengers.
Three men and one lady were in the
coach.
In anticipation of the resumption of
specie payments, and that there will be a
large demand for gold pieces of 6mall
denominations, Dr. Linderman, director
of the United States mints, will, it is re
ported, recommend the coinage of a two-
dollsr gold piece in place of the old two-
and-a-half piece. It is thought this re
commendation will be acceptable to the
oountry.
General Mariano Escobedo, for his
services during the war of the interven
tion and in the maintenance of constitu
tional government, received from the
oitizens of the State of San Luis Potosi
the title of “meritorious citizen.” The
Legislature of that State has now passed
an act repealing the title because Esco
bedo supports Lerdo.
The four men who are charged with at
tempting to wreck a train on the St.

will no doubt be indicted for murder in
the first degree, and have a speedy trial.

The military companies returned to
day from the Brunswick Fair. The Cadets
came back bearing the prize banner. It
is a beautiful blue silk, handsomely
trimmed, with the inscription in fine gilt
letters, “From the Ladies of Brunswick,
June 14, 1877.” Four companies en
tered the contest. The judges were Dr.
Blain, Cols. Collins aud Cooper, of
Brunswick.
Judge Harris, of the Brunswick Circuit
Court, in behalf of the ladies, presented
the banner. The response came from
Private R. W. Patterson, of Macon.
We stepped into the Cadets’ Hall to look
at the banner. It was beautifully deco
rated with evergreens. Iu flaming let
ters were inscribed across the hall, “wel
come victors.” The Macon Cadets were
organized May 15, 1874. They are com
posed entirely of young men. The squad
going to Brunswick was commanded by
Lieut. Edgar Collins. We extend hearty
congratulations to the boys (many of
whom are our personal friends) in their
triumph, and also the ladies of Bruns
wick upon the handsome prize awarded.

HAYES’ LOUISIANA TROUBLES.
A Polilical Explosion In Prospect,
A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says:
“Friends of ex-Marshal Pitkin, of
Louisiaua, state that he does not intend
to die and make no sign. They say that
only two or three days before Pitkin's re
signation was asked for the President as
sured him persona'ly that he would not
be disturbed, and that Attorney General
Devens gave the same assurance only a
few hours before he wrote the letter de
manding Pitkin's resignation. It is said
that Packard telegraphed Secretary
Sherman that Pitkin’s removal
would be an outrage, and that
Mr. Sherman showed the telegram to
the President and expressed his approval
of it. Pitkin will be here in a few days,
and it is believed that he will come out
openly"against the President. Some of
his friends think he will take the stump
in opposition. They say that the in
fluence of Stanley Matthews was thrown
against Pitkin for personal reasons. Pit
kin aud his friends feel ; articularly ag
grieved, because they say Pitkin more
than any other man put his shoulder to
the wheel in the Republican can
vass in Louisiana last fall. They
say the President has treated
the Louisiana Radicals with much
less consideration than he has those of
Florida; that he has given an office to
every member of the Florida returning
board, and that he has repudiated nearly
if not every one of those who helped
him to the electoral vote of Louisiana.
It is said very positively by Pitkin’s
friends that when the action of the Presi
dent in suspending him comes np before
the Senate for review a bitter fight will
be made, and tha the statements which
will be made will be of such a character
as to prevent approval of the President’s
action.
“It is admitted by Col. Jack Wharton
and his friends that Paokard was opposed
to Pitkin's displacement, but at the same
time they assert most positively that he
entertains a high personal regard for
Wharton. The President has now in his
possession a letter written by Packard
after his downfall in which he expresses
his great appreciation of the consistent
and hearty support afforded his govern
ment from first to last by Col. Wliarton.
The President last night said to Senator
Oglesby,of Illinois, that one of the princi
pal reasons why he had given the Marshal
ship to Col. Wharton was because of the
manly manner in which he had stood up
for Packard. CoL Wharton left to-night
for New Orleans with his commission in
his pocket, and will take possession of
the Marshal’s office as soon as his bond
of $20,000 is executed. He pronounces
as entirely without foundation any inti
mation that he took the least part what
ever in BDy negotiations looking to the
secession of any of the mem bers of Pack
ard’s Legislature. It will be in the CRse
of Pitkin and the other removals in the
South made by the President that the
fight against him and his policy will be
first initiated.”
Miss Emma Pearson aud Miss Mc-
Laughlan, the two English ladies who
went out with the ambulance service in
the late Servian war, say that the Rus
sians do not care for English help of
this kind, and it is not likely that any
English women will attempt to work with
them. The Turks, they say, do not dis-
play any national animosity towards the
English, but they are so utterly destitute
of any feeling of respect for women
that ladies shrink from hospital service
among them.
The Attorney G.nerai has called upon
the accounting officers of the treasury
for a oopy of the accounts of Brigham
Young, filed some twenty years ago, when
he was an Indian agent. It is intimated
that they furnish important testimony
on which to base a prosecution for vari
ous illegal acts alleged to have been com
mitted by him when such agent.
Senator Ferry is convalescing and is
out of danger. The strain upon his
mind when he was President pro tern, of
the Senate, and thought he would have
to bear the burden alone of revolution
izing the govemmeat by putting into
power a defeated candidate for the Presi
dency, was the main cause of his at
tack.
A rumor comes from Indiana that
Senator Morton is growing unpopular
with his party on account of the way in
which he eontrols Federal appointments,
and that the disapprobation is becoming
loud and ominous. Some reports go so
far as to say that were his re-eleotion to
be attempted now he would be defeated.

MURDER MUST FOIL.
A Headless Trunk Fonnd in a Creek.
THE MYSTERY NOT UNRAVELED.
[Special TM.fram to the Morning News.)
Amebic.'a, Ox., June 16.—Oa Thursday
afternoon Mr. Jordan Dykes, while fishing
ou Lights ood Knot creek, three miles south
or Andertonviile, fouud the headless body
of au unknown white man entirely caked
near Dykes’ old mill.' The body being de
composed it was evident that the murder
had occurred about ten days previous. There
was a sign of fire, and ou examining the ashes
parties found pieces of the cotton&de pants
and broadcloth and silk lining of a coat.
The following particulars of the above
reach us by mail in the Sumter Republican
of Saturday, the 16th :
On Thursday afternoon Mr. Jordan Dykes,
while fishing along the banks of Lightwood
Knot creek, a small stream flowing three
miles south of Audersonville, came across
the headless body of a white man, entirely
oaked, at a point known as Dykes’ old mill
plaoe. One leg rested on the edge of the
bank, and the other portion of the corpse
was lying in the stream. As the remains
were considerably decomposed, it was evi
dent that the tragedy occurred some ten or
fifteen days previous to the discovery of the
body by Mr. Dykes. From appearances, the
nuknowu victim of this mysterious murder
must have been fully six feet high, and
weighed, probably, about one hundred and
sixty pounds.
The strangest and most mysterions part
of this horrible affair is that the perpetra
tor or perpetrators of the foul deed had
built a tire on the bank of the creek, but
few yards from the poiut where the ghastly
trunk was found, and endeavored to burn
np and forever destroy the olothes of the
victim. In this effort they were happily not
altogether successful. The parties who
visited the scene with the Coroner discover
ed the traces of t he tire, over the remains of
which some dirt had been thrown, but which
the recent rains had washed off in a meas
ure, aud by carefully examining the heap of
ashes and dirt they succeeded in finding
several small portions of the clothing which
the fire had not consumed. Among these
was a small piece of striped coitonade, evi
dently a portion of the pants, a piece o!
cloth which has the appearance of broad
cloth, Borne silk Iming of a coat, aud also
the buttons of a shirt and the iron frames
of some of the coat buttons.
Deputy Sheriff Cobb has some of these
articles in his possession, which he exhib
ited to us on yesterday after his return from
the scene of the tragedy. The Coroner
having received information of the horrible
discovery immediately repaired to the spot
and summoning a jury, composed of the
neighboring farmers, proceeded to hold an
inquest. The jury after considering the
case with the meagre and unsatisfactory
lights before them, rendered the following
verdict:
We, the jury, fihd that the deceased, un
known, came to his death by 6ome means

There is bound to be a change in the

. Hayes and the Secretary of the
Treasury find it impossible, so far, to
make one another understand each oth
er’s financial views. Hayes wants the
silver dollar, and Sherman will have noth
ing but gold.
Secretary Sherman has offered the new
four per cents at par in gold for thirty days
in all the chief cities of the oountry for
free popular subscription, the subscribers
to have ninety days from the date of sub
scription to pay the amount subscribed.

London, June 17.—As regards the Euro
pean seat of war, the principal point worthy
of remark has been the extraordinary strin
gency of the precautions taken by the Bus
si&ns to prevent anything transpiring rela
tive to their operations. Although the cor
respondents iu Roum&nia number two hun
dred aud thirty, not one of them has been
able to give any real information which
would assist the formation of an opinion as
to where the Russians intend to cross the
Danube. This increased secrecy, taken in
conjunction with the issue of decrees for
new loans and a large addition to the army,
is interpreted by some, seemingly
with good reasons, as a sign that
Russia no longer hesitates, and important
events may shortly be expected as soon as
the Danube, which all accounts agree is
tailing, is in a condition to permit operations-
Of course, under these circumstances opin
ions relative to the locality of the Russian
advance must be formed from indications
observable from the southern bank of the
Danube. These observations seem stiff to
indicate somewhere not far from Kicopolis
as the spot where the most serious effort
will be made.
The Russians are making a notable con
centration of troops at the mouth of the
rivers Bode and Aluta, across which they
have thrown bridges.
There is scarcely any doubt that the troops
concentrated between these two rivers
form the operating army. It seems as
though the Russians would make an attempt
to cross at this point of the river whilst en
ergetically engaging Rustchnk with heavy
artillery. This latter conclusion is supported
by tho arrival of a good quantity of heavy
artillery, especially mortars, at Giurgevo,
aud the fact that the Russians have occu
pied the island of Stokon, opposite the town,
and are establishing batteries there despite
the Turkish fire. The Turks also think
passage will be attempted in force between
Xicopolis and Sistova, and have considerably
reinforced the oamps and garrisons at those
places.
In Asia the principal feature this week
has been the partial withdrawal of the
Russian right wing, and the closer invest
ment of Kars and Batoum. The total
Russian force available for active opera
tions in Asia Minor is abont one hundred
and foi ty thousand. Of these, forty thou
sand are around Kars, and thirty thousand
between Kars and Batoum, aud thirty thou
sand between Kars and the line of Bayazid
and Toprak K&leh, thus leaving about forty
thousand for the centre against Moukhtar
Pasha, forty thousand iu a strong position.
These figures show that the Russians have
no men to spare. If they intend to keep
the oountry they have so far occupied,
though if their objeot were simply to effect
a rapid advance and defeat tho Turks as a
preliminary to a peace, there is nothing to
prevent their doing so. It is confirmed from
several sides that the Russians are not bent
on rapid operations of this latter kind, but,
on the contrary, are doing their work
thoroughly, and are systematically taking
the administrat on of the country as they
advance; thus the former Sandjek of Bchu-
ragelis now completely incorporated with
Russia under a Russian civil governmant.
It seems in obedience to this plan of con
solidating their conquests and making all
sure behind them that the Russians will
make no attaokin the direction of Erzeronm
until their centre and left wing are quite
free and prepared to co-operate therein.
Constantinople, June 17.—The Egyptian
contingent has arrived.

wise, be said, the government would be open
to the charge of debasing the electors. It
was because tbe Chamber had been wise
and prudent that President MaoMahon bad
been induced to enter ou his adventurous
course. What will be the result ? The ma
jority will go the couutry numbering three
hundred and sixty-three, and return four

planation from him the call now is for his
accusers to bring forward the proofs of
their acux&tions. He also said that

This will be a notable year in the annals
of crime in this Stato. There has been
anunu-ual number of murders, all of
them marked by a greater or less degree
of atrocity, in many instances unprovoked
on the part of the viotims, id others the
result of drunken fury, and in the case of
the Molly Maguire assassins, the work
of deliberate premeditation.—Philadel
phia Press.
And “this State" actually refers to
Pennsylvania! And Pennsylvania is not
a Southern State ! “A notable year in
the annals of crime in this State !” “An
unusual number of murders!” “All of
them marked by a greater or less degree
of atrocity !” Well, really, it does appear
that the Pniladelphia Press has concluded
to give more of its time and space to
home affairs. We trust many other true
blue Radical organs will enter this new
field of competition. Heretofore they
have given almost their exclusive atten
tion to the South, magnifying every bar
room homioide into a political murder,
and ringing tbe changes on it until they
must have frequently become disgusted
themselves with its mouotony. It does
seem that things are getting better.—
