TAPPING THE WIKKS.
After some unimportant business in the
Senate yesterday, Mr. Davis, of West Vir
ginia, presented the majority report of the
committee appointed to investigate the
Treasury Department. The report states
that it has been shown by the investigation
that many discrepancies existed in the
books of the Treasury Department amount
ing in some years to $100,000,000. Most of
these appeared between the years 1800 and
and 1871. The alterations and erasures in
these books amount to thousands,and affect
hundreds of millions of dollars. Leaves
have been cut from books and not ac
counted for, and warrants for millions of
dollars are missing and cannot be found.
Mr. Ingalls, of Kansas, presented a mi
nority report stating that all these dis
crepancies could be satisfactorily explained
away. The Seu^e then resumed considera
tion «/ the Indian appropriation bill and
discussed it until adjournment. In the
House nothing of any general interest
transpired. Various bills were reported and
referred, and after considering, in committee
of the whole, the bill amending the internal
revenue laws, the House toot a recess until
the evening, when the subject of a munici
pal code for the District of Columbia was
considered.
A man named 8hevitch has been ar
rested who has confessed that he was
employed in the Winter Palace at St. Pe
tersburg at the time of the recent explosion,
and was the guilty party. He is a nephew
of the Governor of the province of Katouga.
Three other arrests of higher rank have
been made.
The plague has appeared in the Volsk
District in the Government of SaratofT,
Russia. Famine also prevails in the Don
District, and many deaths from starvation
are reported.
The Democratic Convention of Connecti
cut met yesterday in Hartford. Resolutions
in favor of the delegates to Cincinnati vot
ing as a unit aDd in favor of the nomination
of any candidate who could unite the party
■were offered. Everything was harmonious
until an amendment to these resolutions
was offered to the effect that no man should
be nominated, no matter what his private
grievances, who could not harmonize the
party and bring success. This was regarded
as a thrust at Mr. Tilden, and excited an
animated debate, the result of which was
that the resolutions were indefinitely post
poned. This leaves the delegates the power
to vote as they please at Cincinnati, and it
is believed a majority of them will follow
Mr. Baraum and support Tilden.
Lord Beaconefield took leave of the Queen
Tuesday. Yesterday the old Ministry weDt
to Windsor by the 12:15 train, and the new
Ministers by the 1:10 p. m. train.
The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention
assembled in Harrisburg yesterday. At first
it was thought that the Randall and Wallace
Tings of the party would not harmonize, and
a lively time was expected. Later cn, it
was announced that these two factions had
agreed to settle their differences, and a com
mittee of six to arrange a basis for unity
was appointed. This committee announced
that I* would not be ready to report until
to-day, and the convention adjourned until
nine o’clock this morning.
The South Carolina Republican Conven
tion yesterday adopted resolutions strongly
in favor of Grant for the Presidency.
A Mrs. Houston, living near Austin, Tex
as, in a fit of insanity, on Tuesday, attempt
ed to kill her five children, by piercing their
brains with knitting needles through their
e*rs. One was killed and the others seri
ously injured.
The court of inquiry investigating the
Whittaker outrage was occupied most of
the time yesterday in examining Whitta
ker’s instructors as to his class standing.
The professors generally agreed that he
was studious, but lacked mental aptitude.
Recorder Sears thought be mfght graduate,
although he had been declared deficient.
It is believed that out of forty diitrict
delegates to Chicago, chosen in Ohio yester
day, eight are for Blaine. Sherman’s
friends, however, claim that the Ohio dele
gation will be solid for him.
Appleton's Journal for May
Is a3 usual, stored with choice litera
ture. The opening paper, “Senior’s
Conversations,” consists of copious selec
tions from a work recently published in
Eugland entitled “Conversations with
Distinguished Persons During the Second
Empire, from 1800 to 1803,” by the late
Nassau William Senior, who, as Master
in Chancery, had unusual opportunities
of intimacy with distinguished French
contemporaries, including such men
as Thiers, Guizot. Renau, Men
mee, Lamartine, Barret and Prince
Napoleon. These interesting conversa
tions give some new and strange insights
into the late Emperor’s character. An
other intensely interesting article, or sto
ry, is “Monsieur Francois,” by Ivan Toui-
guenieff. This number of the Journal
also contains the reply of 31. de Lesseps
to Judge Morgan’s article on the Suez
canal, “Metternich,” “The Philosophy of
Drawing-rooms,” “The Story of the Her*
chant of Venice,” and other papers,
which, with a well filled editor’s depart
ment, altogether comprise an excellent
number of this sterling monthly.
The Railroad Commission.
Our readers are well aware that when
the Legislature was engaged in its rail
way legislation last fall, the Morning
News decidedly opposed the direction
which such legislation was taking. The
object of the framers of the constitution,
in granting the Legislature power to
supervise the railways of the State, was
simply to prevent oppression of the peo
ple by railway corporations, and to
protect the various sections of the
State from being unjustly discriminated
against It was never expected, how
ever, that a commission would be created
—composed of men whose chief qualifi
cation for the position was that they did
not own a share of railway stock, and
were not in the remotest degree inter
ested in any railroad in Georgia—to take
entire charge of the complicated busi
ness of the roads, establish a system of
rates for them and virtually run and
manage such roads.
The correctness of the views of the
News on this point is now beginning to
be recognized by the press throughout
the State,and with one accord they are be
ginning to oppose the action of the pre
sent Commission. We cannot, at this mo
ment, recall an instance in which any
paper in the State has not denounced as
an absurdity the idea that any three dis
interested men can successfully
manage the vast and important
business of our iron highways, and
a sentiment in favor of the repeal of the
entire law creating the Commission, as
being mischievous and detrimental to the
best interest of the State at large, and to
every citizen thereof, is gaining headway.
As one evidence of this, we quote from
the Fort Valley Mirror of last week, as
follows:
“We have never been able to see the
wisdom of our legislators in establish
ing a railroad commission, nor have we
yet seen, nor do we expect to see, an}’
good resulting from said commission. In
our opinion it is simply another one of
those numerous sinecures, which are be
coming so prevalent in our government,
State and national, made for the pen
sioning of partisans and as a reward for
service. However, we hope that we are
in error, and that some good may result
from the law, which might have been
more effective had it been more simple;
have provided against discrimination
and established penalties, at common
law, for the same. ******
“ We do not concur in the idea of one
party regulating the business of another
party, in the first place, and believe the
Legislature made an error when they
went beyond their plain right to prevent
discrimination, which is the only evil
the roads can do us; but as the law has
been made and is now in operation, the
officers provided to regulate tariffs, etc.,
we are getting anxious to see some good
result from it. If the Commission does
not improve on what they have done so
far, very soon, we think it a good idea
to abolish the Commission and repeal the
law. *******
“In this connection it may not be
amiss to say that we do not sympathize
with the hue and cry against railroads.
We consider them of great benefit to our
people. They are not soulless corpora
tions simply, but property, and a large
part of the stock is owned by widows
and orphans, and is to them a means of
subsistence.”
Rumors of a Veto.
The Washington Postal Tuesday says:
“Now it is rumored that the wavering
mind of Mr. Ilayes inclines him to
launch a veto at the little deficiency
bill, which he was at first inclined to
approve. The point of alleged objec
tion is, of course, the legislation rela
tive to election of deputy marshals.
A veto of this bill would put Mr.
Hayes in the position of demanding
partisan control of elections; demanding
that the deputies shall be creatures of
the Radical campaign committee, in
stead of being appointed by Federal
Judges; demanding that all such be Re
publicans, and objecting to good moral
character as a qualification. There is no
good reason to believe Mr. Hayes will
make so unsightly an annex to his re
cord. ”
If his corrupt and unscrupulous ad
visers can convince his fraudulency that
by vetoing the bill he will secure his
party all that is hoped to be accomplished
through the agency of deputy marshals
at the polls, he will want no better rea
son for making the “unsightly annex to
his record.”
Alleged Forgeries in Philadel
phia.—The Philadelphia Press of Mon
day says; “A careful investigation by
reporters of the Press reveals the fact
that the most glaring frauds are being
daily perpetrated in the office and by the
employes of the Clerk of the Court of
Quarter Sessions. License bonds,which
are nothing more than the bail furnished
by tavern keepers as a guarantee that
they will comply with the law, have had
the names of the sureties boldly forged,
and in such a wholesale manner that it
is safe to say that fully nine tenths of all
license bonds are bogus. Five thousand
liquor licenses are annually issued in
Philadelphia. Two thousand have
already been taken out for the year 1880,
and of these it may be safely inferred
that not one hundred have anything but
forged bonds upon which to base their
issuance. Of these two thousand bonds
not even one has received the approving
signature of the District Attorney,which
the law requires before a license shall be
granted. The gigantic swindle impli
cates the chief deputy of the Clerk of
Quarter Sessions, several subordinates,
some hangers-on of the office, and it
would also appear that some one in the
office of the Recorder has been a party
to the transactions.”
Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn
Gage have called a Convention of the
Woman Suffragists of the United States
at Farwell Hall, in Chicago,Wednesday,
June 2, to select a delegation to wait on
the Republican Nominating Convention,
to present a demand for the insertion of
A plank in the Republican platform
favorable to woman’s rights.
The Standard Series.
No publishing enterprise of our day
promises more real good, or more richly
deserves the favor and support of the
reading public than does the plan of
Messrs. I. Funk & Co., of New York,
for reproducing in cheap form the stand
ard works of the best authors. Their
“Standard Series” already comprises the
following books: The Manliness of Christ,
by Thomas Hughes; Macauley’s Essays;
the Light of Asia, by Edwin Arnold; the
Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis;
Carlyle’s Essays ; Canon Farrar's Lift of
Christ and Life of St. Paul; Tennyson’s
Idylls of the King ; Ruskin's Letters to
Workmen and Laborers (in two parts);
On Self Culture,by John Stewart Blackie,
and Knight's Popular History of England,
by Charles Knight (volume I). These
valuable books are printed without
abridgement, with plain type, on good
paper, with stout paper covers, at ten,
fifteen and twenty cents each, thus plac
ing the best books in our language at the
same prices of the trashy and often per
nicious dime novels.
The Pennsylvania Bribery Cases.
Wm. H. Kemble and his associates, who
were convicted some months ago of an
attempt to bribe the Legislature of Penn
sylvania to pass the four million riot
damage bill, have found that “the way
of the transgressor is hard.” The first
thing some of them did after conviction
was to “jump” their bail, and either go
into hiding or betake themselves outside
the State. Upon sober second thought,
or for other reasons, they subsequently
concluded to return and surrender them
selves. Monday they appeared before
Judge Pearson, at Harrisburg, for sen
tence. They got a heavier one than they
probably expected. Each of the five
was sentenced to pay a fine of one thou
sand dollars and to be imprisoned for
one year at h( rd labor in the Eastern
Penitentiary. A few more 3uch sen
tences as these will tend to improve very
materially the moral atmosphere of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, and operate as
a warning to the politicians who have so
often tainted it.
Commenting on the fact that justice
has at length been meted out to the
Pennsylvania bribers, the Washington
Post says:
“While the chief operator in the
greatest crime of the age—the revolution
which placed the defeated candidate and
party in control of this government for
four years by means of proven fraud and
perjury—is at the head of the Treasury
Department and a candidate for the
Presidency; while the man for whom the
Presidency was stolen is in the enjoyment
of that office with all its emoluments;
while those who aided and abetted in the
perpet ration of this crime are in the
high places of the nation, and while all
the lesser scoundrels who perjured their
villainous souls in the minor details of
the damnable infamy are quartered on the
public exchequer in various positions of
trust and profit,these sneaking hypocrites
of high and low degree, from *he meanest
of the assistant thieves to the receiver of
the stolen executive office, turn up their
eyes in holy horror at the guilt of
the men who were sent to the peniten
tiary last evening for attempting to bribe
members of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture to vote that the Slate should pay a
part of a local debt. Kemble and his
crowd were guilty as indicted, and their
punishment is just. But what will fu
ture generations say of a party who put
its great criminals in charge of the gov
ernment and sent its minor scoundrels
to convicts’ cells?”
To Cure Colored Ostracism at West
Point
A writer in the New York Times has
divulged a remedy for the ostracism that
afflicts colored cadets at West Point. He
claims to be himself a West Pointer and
an army officer. He say s:
“Withdraw all the Southern boys from
the Military Academy, and the colored
Cadets would co longer be ostracised as
now. In my day we Northern boys
could not make bead against them, and
it seems the same holds true now.
Twenty smart profane boys in a college
will so brow beat religious principles as
to effectively keep some religious boys
down, and so here thirty or forty South
ern boys, who have not been thoroughly
converted to the equality of the races
can readily influence the other two hun
dred and fifty to show no open sympa
thy with the colored boys.”
But this original remedy for this dis
tressing distaste to the darkey at West
Point does not seem to strike the Time%
as a very noble proceeding. It seems to
confess a power and influence of thirty
or forty Southern boys over two hundred
and fifty Northern boys which it thinks
would be not very creditable to the man
liness of the “majority.” If there is not,
it says, spirit and manliness enough in
the two hundred to withstand the domi
neering pretensions of the “thirty or
forty Southern boys.” then it is “dough
faces” of the most abject type, as well as
snobs, that we are training at West
Point.
The Ration, in reply to the Albany
Law Journal,brings out even more forci
bly than before the point illustrated in
its own article on the civil rights cases.
The point on which the suppositious
Massachusetts case hinged is “that a
State Judge who, following a statute of
his own State, sustains a panel sum
moned in conformity with such statute,
can be indicted and imprisoned for his
erroneous ruling. The only way, it
used to be thought, of reviewing an er
roneous decision in such cases was by
writ of error, by a writ for the rejnoval
of the case to a Federal court, or, it
might be, by a writ of habeas corpus.
Cole’s case is the first in which it was
ever held that a Judge is liable to indict
ment for a ruling not alleged to be cor
rupt; and if Judge Cole is so indictable,
there is no State Judge who may not be
proceeded against in the same way
should he hold a State statute imposing
discriminations of any kind (even dis
criminations against queues) to be opera
tive.” Perhaps, remarks the Charleston
yews and Courier, as these illustrations
come from the North they will be
heeded. When Southern newspapers
showed the length to which the recent
decisions went, their warning was re
garded as conclusive evidence of a “re
bellious” spirit.
Royalty Condescends.
Royalty is beginning to condescend.
The time was when for Princes or Prin
cesses to marry out of other than royal
houses would have made thrones trem-.
ble with indignation. When the Prin
cess Louise of England was married to
the Marquis of Lome, it created a great
flutter, and, on point of court etiquette,
has proved troublesome ever since. Lat
terly a more serious breach has been
made in the marital barriers that used to
hem in Princes and Princesses of sover
eign or quasi sovereign houses. Two of
these dreadful breaches have just taken
place. The Princess Frederika of Han
over, closely allied by blood to the royal
family of England, and residing in that
country, was married on Saturday at
Windsor to the Baron-Pamel Von Ro-
mingen, her fathers secretary, causing,
we are told, “considerable friction in
high circles.” The Prince and Princess
of Wales, it appears, would not, or at
least did not, attend the wedding. Much
worse, however, than this is the behavior
of King Karl of Wurtemberg. He has
actually consented to the betrothal of
his daughter, the Princess Pauline, to a
young Breslau physician. But she is to
‘sink the Princess” and be called here
after “Fraulein Von Kirchbach.” What
is the world coming to?
The social ostracism of colored Cadet
Whittaker at West Point is conceded by
the Hartfort Courant (Radical) to be
nothing more than “a reflection of so
ciety at large throughout the country”—
the first evidence of the possession of
common sense in connection with the
Whittaker case which we have observed
in the Republican papers. The Courant's
position is strikingly confirmed by a let
ter published iu the Washington National
Republican relating to the social ostra
cism of the colored Senator Bruce, of
Mississippi, and his wife by the Republi
can Congressmen, as follows: “Senator
Bruce is worth a hundred Whittakers,
and his Senatorial and social ostracism is,
from his position, a thousand times more
offensive than Whittaker’s. Hon. Mr.
Hoar, of Massachusetts, made a telling
speech the other day on Cadet Whittaker
being left to himself, but the honorable
Senator did not think how severely he
has left Senator Bruce and his charming
wife alone.” The devotion of Republi
can organs and orators to the promotion
of the civil rights and social standing of
the colored race, is mostly hypocritical
and is assumed as a means of political
profit. Tnis fact, so disgustingly mani
fest, and so well understood by the white
people of the country, is coming to be
understood by the more intelligent ne
groes of the South.
Some interesting facts are given in the
Charleston News and Courier iu regard
to the improved cultivation of cot
ton upon the famous sea islands of
South Carolina. Before the war, under
the slave system, the average yield of
these islands was from 80 to 100 pounds
per acre. Since the war the large plan
tations have been divided up so that
instead of 400 or 500 acres, as form
erly, the average size now is from 50 to
00 acres. Fertilizers are used very ex
tensively, and the planters direct their
attention to improved cultivation, in
stead of, as before the war, trying to
cover a large acreage of ground. Under
this new system and with free labor the
average production per acre has been in
creased from 80 to 250 pounds, and some
of the planters last year realized a net
profit of $100 per acre. This, too, after
expending from $60 to $80 per acre for
fertilizers. One of the islands, under
the improved system of cultivation, was
made to produce last year 500 pounds of
cotton to the acre. As sea island cotton
commands an average price of 40 cents
per pound, the planters, both white
and colored, who raise it are growing
rich.
Onr Import Trade.
Netc York Commercial Bulletin.
The last monthly statement of the
Bureau of Statistics contains some very
suggestive facts illustrative of the recent
large increase of our imports. The total
receipts of foreign merchandise, for the
eight months ending February 29, amount
to $397,300,000 against $287,500,000 for
the same period of 1878-9, showing an
increase of $110,000,000. It is a note
worthy fact, however, that the increase
has been in a much larger ratio on free
goods than on dutiable, being on the
former class 46 per cent, and on the
latter only 34 per cent.—a difference
which conveys its own moral as to
the obstructive effect of high du
ties. On chemicals, dyes, etc.,
which are largely used in our
manufactures and are therefore exempt
from duty, the increase amounts to $1,-
500,000. Coffee and tea, also non-dutia-
ble, show a very large gain, the increase
in the former being $9,250,000, and in
the latter $6,300,000. As illustrating th£”
activity in the leather trade, the imports
of hides and skins show a gain amount
ing to $7,800,000. The receipts of indigo
are $3,000,000 above those of the same
months of 1878-9; raw silk shows an in
crease of $2,750,000, rags $1,000,000,
and block and bar tin $2,300,000. Most
of these items being raw materials, the
increase in their importation reflects the
increased activity of home manufactures.
In dutiable articles, the most conspicu
ous increase occurs in iron and steel
manufactures, which, only a few months
ago, protectionists were boasting had
been finally excluded through the suc
cessful nursing of their system. For the
first eight months of the fiscal year
14178-9, the total imports of these articles
were valued at $6,100,000; and, for the
same period of the current year, their
value reached $23,600,000; a fact which
shows that the iron manufacturers are
no nearer than they have been for the
last twenty years to making the country
independent of foreign iron. We have also
heard much about the success of our llax
manufacturers in driving out foreign
goods of that character: but it turns
out that, bo soon as the country wants a
normal quantity of goods, the eight
months’ imports rise from $9,870,000 to
$15,000,000. The merchants who have
been frightened out of this branch of im
porting may now find how exaggerated
have been their fears. Silk manufac
turers show an increase from $16,400.-
000 to $20,700,000; which hardly indi
cates that the improvement in trade has
yet tempted our people to yield to their
weakness for extravagant dressing. Cot
ton manufactures show an increase
from $13,130,000 to $18,230,000 :
which is quite an important ratio of
gain. Leather shows a gain of $3,000,000,
or considerably over 100 per cent. Tin
plates have nearly doubled, the increase
being $4,800,000. The augmented de
mand for raw material from woolen
manufacturers has caused an increase in
the imports of wool amounting to
$8,800,000. In the receipts of wool and
worsted manufactures, the gain is about
20 per cent.; which is significant in view
of the enormous imports of raw material.
The foregoing are the main facts relatuag
to the imports of the first eight moDth
of the fiscal year, and they indicate how
sudden aDd important has been the re
cent expansion of this branch of our
foreign commerce.

The Sherman Way of Looking at
It.—A Washington special says the
National Sherman Committee has fur
nished for publication a statement show
ing that the Republican delegation from
Georgia will stand twelve for Sherman
six for Blaine, and four for Grant; and
from Virginia at least six for Sherraau
and possibly eight. It is claimed that
the dispatches from Ohio leave not the
slightest doubt as to a solid Sherman
delegation from that State. The com
mittee concludes its statement with the
following paragraph: “The friends of
Mr. Sherman are more sanguine than at
any time since the canvass began. They
say that his strength is developing more
rapidly than they could have hoped
They claim that he has positively secured
one hundred and one votes on the first
ballot from the States that have already
held conventions, including the 6olid
vote of Ohio, and excluding any from
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, New
York, Pennsylvania,Massachusetts, Con
nccticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Iowa
Maine and Oregon.”
Opposed to the Unit Rule.—The
New York Truth, which strongly sup
ports the nomination of General Grant,
earnestly opposes the unit rule in the
National Convention, by which it is pro
posed to cast a solid vote from Pennsyl
var.ia and New York for the General,
despite the fact that many of the dele
gates are opposed to his nomination,
The Truth says:
“For Grant personally we have but
one sentiment—respect for his honor and
genius, gratitude for his puolic services,
and confidence in his ability. For Grant
as the nominee of a convention of inde
pendent delegates guided by patriotism
and party fealty in their selection, we
entertain a sentiment falling little short
of enthusiasm. But for Grant as the
candidate of a self-seeking faction, which
forces his nomination upon the party,
and attempts to force his election upon
the country by the misuse of party ma
chinery temporarily under its control,
we can have no sympathy, and so nomi
nated we can give him no support.”
Pardoned by Mr. Hayes.—On Mon
day Mr. Hayes pardoned his friend E.
W. Maxwell, now serving a court mar
tial sentence of two years in the Texas
State prison at San Antonio, Texas.
Maxwell was formerly a detective of the
Treasury Secret Service, and was ap
pointed Second Lieutenant of the Twen
tieth Infantry shortly after the inaugura
tion of his fraudulency. He was court-
martialed shortly after joining his regi
ment for various offenses, the principal
of which was signing his pay accounts
more than once and drawing thereon
double his pay. This he did for several
months, and also received loans from
different parties on the pledging of his
pay as security when he had already
fraudulently overdrawn it. Maxwell
was well known in Washington, and
brought himself into public notice first
by an alleged discover}’ on his part of a
plot to assassinate Hayes upon his arrival
in that city or during his inauguration.
Nullification in Massachusetts.—
Beast Buticr argued before the House
sub Committee on Elections Monday in
behalf of E. M. Boynton, contesting the
seat, of G. B. Loring from the Sixth
Massachusetts district. In the course of
his remarks. Butler criticised the laws of
Massachusetts imposing a poll tax and
other qualifications upon voters, thus
disfranchising two-fifths of her voters.
He referred to the fourteenth amend
ment, passed to prevent the South from
unjustly restricting the colored vote, and
said the question which Congress would
have to grapple with very soon was
whether Massachusetts shall have more
than her share in national representation
in the face of an amendment proposed
by one of her own Representatives and
accepted by the State, but which she
now seeks to nullify by enforcing restric
tive laws to disfranchise 136,000 voters in
the State.
That the opposition to Grant among
the German voters amounts to some
thing is pretty clearly shown by the fact
that the German Republicans of New
York have just issued a circular an
nouncing that in their judgment “a third
term nomination is contrary to the spirit
of the Constitution of the United States,”
and “is an uncalled for deviation from
a sacred usage of a hundred years, 1
The circular further declare? that under
theex-President’s administration corrupt
monopolies and dishonest practices of the
worst kind flourished, and that he showed
little or no capacity for civil government.
A number of other charges equally strong
are brought against Grant, and the asser
tion is made that his nomination would
be “self-destruction to the Republican
party” and ruinous to the country. Our
German citizens generally mean what
they say. They are an eminently practi
cal people and not prone to exaggerate
even in politics. Wherefore, it is pretty
clear from the spirit of the New York
German Republicans that if Grant is
nominated there will be a considerable
falling off in the German vote.
The interoceanic canal seems to have
dropped clean out of the public mind.
The subject, is rarely ever mentioned,
All interest iu it appears to have de
parted with De Lesseps. A short time
ago the papers were filled with the sub
ject and both houses of Congress were
hammering at it daily. The Monroe
doctrine was expounded, and many went
so far as to say we ought to be preparing
to enforce it with war. The only solu
tion of this sudden disappearance of a
much discussed question is that the
Presidential election is regajded as a
subject of more importance and one that
more nearly concerns the people.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore’Sun says: “Senator Allison’s i
proposition, which was offered in the |
Senate Monday, authorizing the Presi
dent to appoint two colored men as ca
dets at West Point each year, will be de
bated at length in the Senate before it is
disposed of, and the recent West Point
affair will be thoroughly aired. General
Hancock is here at the request of the j
Secretary of War, to consult with refer
ence to the West Point matter, and it is
now rumored that Schofield will be re
lieved and the Academy restored to Han-1
cock’s command. General Hancock has |
gone to Fortress Monroe with the Secre
tary of War and General Sherman, to
attend the closing exercises of the Artil
lery School there, and the matter will be
talked over en route.”
Commissioner Walker, in laying out
the ground for an exceptionally complete
census enumeration in all its varied
branches, has very judiciously assigned
to Clarence King the work of collecting
statistics concerning precious metals in
this country for incorporation in the
next census. Mr. King is making prepa
rations for a thorough and reliable ex
hibit. One volume of the census report
will be devoted to the information ob
tained, which will be statistical, histori
cal and descriptive. It is the intention
to make this census of the mining indus
tries the fullest and best ever prepared
in any country.
Here is a Mexican example worthy of
imitation in the “Model Republic.” A
special dispatch to the Galveston News,
dated City of Mexico, April 20, says:
“The Federal troops have been ordered ,
away from Colima because the Governor
of that State complained of their inter
ference with the elections. ”
Cadet Andrus, who, in his testimony
before the Whittaker investigation at
West Point avowed his prejudice against
the colored cadet, and said he objected
to the latter “falling in” along side of
him, is from Indiana, and his father is a
minister of the gospel and a pronounced
Republican. Andrus’ testimony led a
number of journals to conclude that he
was from the South, and the Chicago
Tribune, upon this assumption, based
another, to the effect that the white
cadet’s father was a plantation overseer
before the war and a rebel soldier dur
ing the war. This illustrates the unfair
ness of assuming that prejudice against
the colored race only exists in the South.
Out in Nevada a school trustee had
just got everything fixed to run away
with the school fund when to his indig
nation he found that the ether trustee
had squandered every dollar of it. He
says new the world is too full of thieves
and scoundrels for an honest man to have
any kind of a chance.
During the debate on the army appro
priation bill in the Senate on last Thurs
day an interesting and amusing episode
occurred which proved Senator Eaton to
be a ready-witted man. Senator Conk
ling, m the course of his remarks, spoke
of Nero as a “Roman Democrat. ” Sena
tor Eaton quite innocently remarked
“Why, I thought he was a Republican
He acted like one.” Conkling was about
to reply when Eaton brought down the
house by asserting in a confident tone
“He certainly was a third term man; he
was an imperialist.” Conkling let the
matter rest there.
The Washington Star says a prominent
Republican from Georgia, who was one
of the delegates to the late Georgia Re
publican Convention, told a Star reporter
on Monday that the delegates chosen by
the convention to go to Chicago posi
tively stand as follows: Eleven for Sher
man, nine for Blaine and two for Grant.
All statements giving other than these
figures are, he says, both incorrect and
false. In answer to the query if the
convention didn’t have a lively time, he
said it had “ a h—11 of a time.”
The project of an international bullion
bank is now discussed in Paris, its pur
pose being to secure the disuse of re
mittances in gold coin, and substitute for
it bullion. By this arrangement it will
be possible to save the expenses of ex
change and the danger attending the
transportation of gold coin. This bank
is to be opened in Paris and London
and branches are to be established in
large cities all over the world.
The Congressional Record attests that
when Grant began his term as President
there were 23 Republican and 7 Demo
cratic Senators from the South, and that
on the day he retired from the Presi
dency there were but 5 Republican and
27 Democratic Senators from the States
of the South—a gain for the Democrats
of 20, and a loss to the Republicans of
18 Senators,
Looking After the Sherman B<k>m.
—Governor Young, M. C.. of Ohio, is
now in South Carolina, and will remain
there until after the Republican Conven
tion is held in that State next Wednes
day. After the South Carolina conven
tion does its work, the Governor will
attend the Alabama and Florida conven
tions. Gov. Y. is an energetic Sherman
man.
Judge Field is said to be much pro
voked by the reports that Mr. Tilden has
selected him as the candidate of the Cm
cinnati Convention because he thinks he
could control his administration of the
Presidency.
And now it turns out that the 15, 13.

yesterday’s conventions.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 28 —The Demo
cratic Convention reassembled at 8 o’clock,
but the committee of 6ix announced that it
would not be ready to report before to-mor
row. The convention therefore adjourned
until to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock.
Hartford, April 28.—The Connec
ticut Democratic Convention was harmoni
ous up to the point where Mr.
Blake, of Bridgeport, offered an amendment
to the resolutions previously offered de
claring that the Democratic party
should not nominate a man, no mat
ter what his private grievances, who can
not harmonize the party and bring suc
cess. This amendment, aimed evidently at
Tilden. gave rise to an animated debate and
was denounced by many of the speakers as
a “fire brand.” Upon the motion of Mr.
Waller the regular resolutions were indefi
nitely postponed, and a resolution was
adopted, pledging the support of the Demo
crats of Connecticut to the Cincinnati nomi
nee. The defeat of the regular resolution
leaves the delegates to vote according to
their individual choice. A majority of them
will, it is understood, go with Mr. Barnum
in support of Tilden or his candidate.
Columbus, O., April 28.—As nearly as
can be learned, out of forty district dele
gates chosen to day to attend the Chicago
Convention, eight are for Blaine. Sherman’s
friends to night, however, claim that the
delegation will be solid for Sherman at Chi
cago.
Little Rock, Ark , April 28.—The Re
publican State Convention met here at noon.
The entire afternoon was consumed in ef
fecting a permanent organization,with John
A. Williams, of Jefferson, President, and
J. B. Young and five other secretaries. At
5 o’clock the convention took a recess until
7 o’clock.
FOREIGN NOTES.
London, April 28.—A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to the Standard says: “The
churches of the Old Believers, which have
1 been closed for forty years, will be now
opened In pursuance of measures passed by
the Committee of Ministers and returned
with Imperial assent, removing the disa
bilities of the Old Believers and other re
ligious dissenters in Russia.”
A Berlin dispatch to the Morning iW

cluding extradition treaties with foreign
countries, has resolved in insisting on the
inclusion of regicides among the offenders
liable to expulsion and surrender.”

THE WHITTAKER INVESTIGATION.
West Point, N. Y., April 28.—The court
of inquiry in the Whittaker ease devoted
most of its time to-day to the examination
of Whittaker’s instructors as to his standing
in his classes, and the prospect of his pass
ing his examination. The Professors gener
ally agreed that Whittaker was studiously
inclined, not lazy, and bad a good memory,
but said he was deficient in mental aptitude.
At the time of the outrage he was at the
head of the fifth section, and there were
seven white cadets below him. His numeri
cal standing on a scale of 100 was 72. Mr.
Townsend asked Recorder Sears if he con
sidered that a bad 6tandlDg. The latter re
plied: “Not particularly.” The Recorder
thought the chances were in favor of Whit
taker's getting through, although he had
been declared deficient.
THE NASHVILLE RACES.
Nashville, April 28 —The fourth day’s

Templar came in a length and a half ahead,
Jericho second, Shaker third, War Banner
fourth, but a foul was claimed and sustain
ed, and the heat and race was given to Jeri
cho, Shaker a second, and War Banner third
in the last hea’?
