TAPPING THE WlKK*.
In the Paris municipal council a discussion
has been raised, regarding the action of the
Prefect of Police In connection with the
Communistic demonstration on Sunday, and
an order of the day was adopted, blaming
the Prefect for giving orders, the execution
of which involved a serious encroachment
upon the liberty of citizens.
The ship Barnes, with oil, from New Or
leans for Trieste, in trying to make Halifax
(being dismasted) for repairs, struck on
Bearer Island Ledge, sixty miles east of
Halifax. The vessel is a total loss, and the
greater part of the cargo will also be lost.
A disastrous fire at Brooklyn, originating
in the oil works of Dunstow & Bush, re

lives were lost as at first reported.
The reason assigned by Mr. Gladstone for
the non recall of Sir Bartle Frere, Governor

fected yesterday by the election of Wn, C.
Sibley President. The capital is one million
dollars and the amount subscribed is six
hundred thousand dollars. The erection of
the factory will proceed at once and will be
one of the largest in the South.
Derby-day yesterday was,as is usually the
case, a marked day among English sports
men. The track was filled by the distin
guished sportsmen of the realm with the
usual sprinkling of royalty. The stakes
were won by the Duke of Westminster’s
chestnut colt Ben D’Or, ridden by Jockey
Archer.
There was a large attendance upon the
Charlottesville spring races yesterday. The
first race was won by Tom Collins, the sec

The will of the late Mary Caroline Marx,
of New York, who left the greater portion
of her estate to Rev. A. J. D. Bradley, and
which was contested by the relations of the

subsisting during the trip on a raw halibut,
which they caught.
The question of admitting Bradlaugh to

The New York stock market yesterday
was strong and steady, with a slight depres
sion during the day, which was arrested,and
the strong tone maintained to its close.
The great Nihilist trial cases at St. Peters
burg have been finished, resulting in the con
viction of eleven of the conspirators, among
-whom were five women. Michaeloff and
Savouroif are to be hanged. Weimar goes

The Hanlan-Riley race which was rowed
yesterday over the same course as the re
cent Hanlan-Courtney race, was won easily
by Haolan, his competitor, although plucky,
being evidently no match for the champion
oarsman. This race settles the champion
ship definitely.
The New York Tribune sent its re
porters to eighteen of the leading hotels
of New York and found them more
crowded with visitors than ever before in
the history of that city at this time of
the year. This influx is credited to coun
try merchants who have come into town
to make purchases, to persons who have
left home for the summer but who do not
•wish to go into the country before June,
to the immense tidal wave of European
travel, and, more than all, to the good
times which enables more country people
to come into town and enjoy the pleas
ures of the city than for many years
past.
The Atlanta ‘Tonstitution" and the
S.. F. and W. Railway.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
w ants us to lead “in front of the public'
our “unquestioned authority” for deny
ing that the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway had, as our contem
porary has charged, established rates be
tween Savannah and Waycross lower
than these allowed by the Railroad Com
mission. It also desires us to show how
it was “conclusively proven” to the Com
mission by the railway officials that
under its (the Commission's) tariff that
road could not meet the interest on its
bonds by forty thousand dollars per
annum.
To satisfy our contemporary on both
these points, we refer it to Colonel H.
Haines' unanswerable letter published by
us yesterday—a letter which, had the
Constitution seen beforehand, it would
hardly have had the temerity to have
made of us the above demands. In that let
ter, over his own signature, Col. Haines
states that tie was our authority for de
nying the Constitution's statement, and
that the tariff of rates furnished the
Macon and Brunswick Rood—which the
Constitution had chanced to see, and
which our contemporary seized upon
with so much delight as a "squelcher”—
had only been prepared and referred to
the Brunswick and Albany Road for its
approval. This was done because the
Commission had discriminated against
the Savannah, Florida and Western and
in favor of the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad by allowing the latter to charge
as much for one hundred and seventy
miles as the other roads of the State
were allowed to charge for two hundred
and fifty miles, and, therefore,
in order to meet the exigencies
of the case, the Savannah, Florida
and Western had determined to adopt a
tariff of rates less than the maximum
rates allowed by the Commission. These
rales, however, were, says Col. Haines,
and, for reasons which he fully states,
neeer put in effect
Again, regarding the request that we
prove how it had been “conclusively”
shown the Commission that the Savan
nah, Florida and Western Railway could
not, under the Commissioners’ tariff,
meet the interest on its bonds by $40,000
a year, Colcnel Haines says distinctly
that he appeared before the Commission
and presented them a printed statement
showiugthe average earnings of his road
fpr eight years past—not for one single
month as, if our memory serves us
aright, our contemporary has charged.
He showed “conclusively” by that state
ment that under the tariff of the Com
mission these earnings would be decreased
$180,000 per annum, and with such a de
crease the road would not be able to pay
the interest on its bonds by $80,000 per
annum. Thu Commission then allowed an
increase on its raiesof 30 per cent.—a por
tion of which increase was afterwards pro
hibited—and after this, by applying the
rates of the Commission, item by item
to the business of the previous December,
an average loss was shown which woulfl
prevent the road from meeting its obli
gations by $40,000 per annum. If
the Constitution is not content with
the truth of these statements of
Col. Haines, it can easily sat
isfy itself by interviewing the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad regard
ing the first, and the Railway Commis
sioners regarding the second. The truth
is, our contemporary has been, from the
first, to great extent, in the dark on this
subject, and, therefore, we are free to
admit, we have had it at a disadvantage.
We trust, however, that Col. Haines'
letter will open its eyes, and that hence
forth it will be able to argue more un-
derstandingly.
And now, but one word more at this
time. Our contemporary further says
the vital principle at issue in this con
troversy is “the right of the people to
regulate the rates charged by the corpo
rations—the right of the State to say that
the railroads shall be as amenable to the
law as the people of the commonwealth.
Our contemporary is again mistaken
in teto. No such principle is involved.
Everybody admits that the State not only
has the right, but is bound to protect
every class of her citizens against
oppression by any other class. Para
graph II., section 2 of article I., of
the State constitution, requires this
of the State. The real principle at
issue in this matter under consideration
—and thi3 we specially desire to im
press upon our contemporary, for it
seems never to have thought of it—is
whether the Legislature has a right to
delegate legislative powers, entrusted
to it by the constitution, to
board of three citizens or offici
als of the State, and give to these
citizens absolute autocrat ic and despotic
control over from $50,000,000 to $75,-
000,000 of the property of their fellow
citizens?
The Situation.
From present appearances General
Grant will receive the nomination for a
third term at Chicago. The crack of the
party whip sounds throughout the field,
and even Messrs. Sherman and Blaine
hear and heed it. And notwithstanding
their eager running, are coming in “to
heel.” So far the Republican party has
shown with effect the good organization
and discipline maintained in its ranks are
worthy of a better cause.
In his farewell address, the immortal
Washington, the wisest and best Ameri
can that ever lived, left us th s warning,
as a part of our inheritance from him:
“The alternate domination of one fac
tion over another, sharpened by the
spiiit of revenge, natural to party dis
sension, which, in different ages and
countries, has perpetrated the most
horrid enormities, is itself a fright
ful despotism. But this leads, at
length, to a more formal and per
mauent despotism. The disorders and
miseries which result, gradually
incline the minds of men to seek security
and repose in the absolute power of an
individual; and sooner or later, the
chief of some prevailing faction, more
able, or more fortunate, than his com
petitors, turns this disposition to the pur
poses of his own elevation on the ruins
of public liberty."
Had General Washington written
those lines yesterday, he could not have
more accurately described the attitude
of the Republican party towards the
people of this country, as it is to-day,
under the leadership of Messrs. Conk-
ling and Cameron, the lieutenants of
General Grant.
Twice the people honored Washington
and themselves by elevating him to the
Presidency. And again, in their devo
tion to his wisdom, virtues and patriot
ism, developed daily in their service,
they would have called him for the third
time to direct their destinies. But Wash
ington, in his sagacity, prudence and
love of country, anticipated the danger
to liberty he so clearly indicates in the
extract above, and rising superior to per
sonal vanity, initiated by his action, as
well as by his precepts, the rule of “two
terms,” as the principle of safety in the
exercise of “supreme authority.”
The United States are to-day in better
condition, in their domestic and foreign
relations, than when Washington patriot
ically withdrew from official station, and
f he then saw no necessity for his oc
cupyiug “supreme authority” for a
third term, on what pretext can General
Grant's lieutenants ask it of the people
for their chief now? Is General Grant
a wiser man than General Washington?
Is he more patriotic? Has he rendered
.greater services than Washington? Were
his two terms of “ supreme authority ”
so purely and justly administered as to
exciie the admiration of his country
men, and demand of them its renewal
for a “ third term?”
These are questions that every intelli
gent American should ask himself, and
if he cannot answer them, conscientious
ly, in the affirmative, let him think upon
the warning of Washington, which we
present in these columns to-day. For if
there be no need for General Grant in a
"third term” of “supreme authority,
there can be but one motive influencing
his lieutenants to urge him again upon
the nation, viz.: “The disposition to
elevate their chief to Absolute Pvxrqp, on
the ruins of public liberty. ”
At present, “Sovereign Power” rests
with the people who invest the Presi
dent with “supreme authority” to exe
cute their will. But if they unwisely
destroy the limit placed by Washington,
and confirmed by their correlative assent,
upon the exercise by one man of the
“supreme authority” of the nation, and
make it "without limit,” there must
soon be, in the weakness of human na
ture, a blending of the "Sovereign
Power’ with the “supreme author
ity,” that at no distant day
will culminate in a coup d'etat, a9 in
France, when the French people went
to be<l on the second of December, 1851,
in the fancied security of Republican
liberty, and woke next day, the third of
December, 1851, the complaisant sub
jects (they could no longer help them
selves) of his military, Imperial Majes
ty, Napoleon III.
It is the first step that is difficult. The
other steps follow easily. Concede to
Gen. Grant a “third term,” and the de
scent to despotism will be readily made.
Bayard's Popularity In the North.
The Boston Herald proudly claims that
“Massachusetts is bound to go for the
best in politics.” It points to the atti
tude of the Republicans who oppose
both Grant and Blaine, and stand by a
clearer and less selfish man like Ed
munds as evidence that the Republican
voters have not been crowded Irom the
control of their own party by the ma
chine It adds:
“And we see the same spirits in the
Massachusetts Democrats. They in
stinctively seek the best candidates,' with
a feeling that the best must be the
strongest. They have lost confidence in
Tilden. He does not represent to them
what he did in 1876. He then came for
ward with a record of reform in the
government of a great State, in which
corruption had run riot. He is no longer
associated with the ideas of reform ex
cep. in satire. He has lost repute, ap
pearing as a slippery and tricky
politician, intensely selfish. Massa
chuselts Democrats turn away from
him to find a candidate who will com
mand universal respect No wonder
Iheir eyes lit on Bayard. Bayard repre
sents old fashioned, sterling honesty, a
broad view in politics, fidelity to princi
ple, faith in the people. He is a man no
American need blush to help place in the
Presidential chair. He is a candidate
for whom independent voters could go
without any hesitation. Republicans
who he moral seme may be offended by
the triumphs of the “machine” in their
own party, can vote for B yard, feeling
that the republic will suffer no detriment
at his hands. This instinct which turns
to the best candidate is tie highest wis
dom. The only chance the Pemocrais
have for carrying the country is in the
selection of a Candidate who is clean and
honest and capable of rising above party.
These qualities Bayard possesses, and
these would make him a strong candi
date."
Not only have the Massachusetts dele
gates spoken for Bayard, in their inter
views with the World correspondent, not
only has the leading paper of Boston thus
declared him, but the celebrated Spring-
field Republican, the independent paper
of Western Massachusetts, which had the
manliness and courage in opposing Grant,
to declare that it would not support him
if nominated, speaks with equal cer
tainty in behalf of his nomination. It
says:
“The nomination of Tilden would
make the open support of the Democratic
ticket by thoughtful Republicans practi
cally impossible. All Tilden’s signal
ability as a political leader would avail
nothing against the blighting fact that
under his candidacy the Democratic
party would make no converts, and
would receive no reinforcements. The
moral odds of the campaign would he
against the party, and every doubtful
State in the North would pass over to
the Republican column. The delegates
to the Cincinnati Convention in this
State appear to be alive to this fact, and
in a series of interviews in the New
York World pronounce for Bayard.
If the Democrats of Massachusetts
want to lead the right of the party col ,
unin, instead of straggling at the rear
they have only to make it plain to the
South that Democrats in debatable States
at the North demand not Tilden, but
some candidate of the first order, like
Bayard. This year, as four years ago,
the South wants the man the North
wants, and Democrats in this Stats are
making but a poor preparation for
national canvass which may carry Massa
chusetts over among the doubtful Slates
in idly waiting for Tilden’s campaign to
be completed instead of striking the key
note of the Democratic canvass by put
ting Bayard forward, when the Chicago
Convention is balancing between two
evils in Grant and Blaine.”
We might, says the Wilmington Every
Evening, pile up such testimony, but
what would be the use? It is already
plait, to all not wilfully blind, that Bay
ard is the man who would command the
support of Northern Independents and
Conservative Republicans and arouse the
people of the South to enthusiasm, and
the papers and politicians opposing him
arc doing so merely because they prefer
some one else, and think a less available
candidate could be elected. The “un
availability” cry raised by Tilden’s organ
the New York Sun, has almost ceased to
be echoed at the South, but the papers
that did echo it have not had the manli
less to confess their mistake in doing so.
Liberty of the Press tn Germany.
The operation of Bismarck’s tyrannical
press laws is freshly illustrated by the
experience of Herr Fusangel, editor of
the .Virus Bayerisehe VoUubhM, who has
just suffered two months’ imprisonment
in a fortress for printing an article
censuring the government in moderate
terms, and who is now publishing a
series of articles on his life in jail. He
was first confined in a cell without ven
tilation, dimly lighted by a heavily
grated window. His bed was a straw-
sack covered with two woolen blankets.
Neither sheets nor pillows were furnished
him. There was a stove in the ceil,
which was heated now and then tor the
purpose of suffocating him, he thought.
Much of the time he had no fire, and
then he nearly froze to death. His food
was soup and chunks of meat, which he
had to eat without knife or fork. Books
and writing materials were denied him.
After a time the jail doctor saw that the
poor journalist was likely to die under
this treatment, and had him removed to
the hospital, where his food was better,
and he was allowed to read and write.
TLere he was told by the authorities that
if hia paper published anything ob
jectionable to the government during his
imprisonment he would be sent back to
his old quarters. Unfortunately for him,
in spite of the orders he had given hi.
assistants, an article did appear which
aroused official anger, and he was re
turned to the cell, his books and writing
materials were taken from him, and also
his clean linen and his toilet articles.
Herr Fusangel protests against this treat
ment in the name of humanity, aDd says
that when he was sentenced to two
months’ imprisonment he was not sen
tenced to be tortured by cold and coal-
smoke. and by a wretched bed and unfit
nourishment, nor to be persecuted in
tellectually by being deprived of the
means for employing his time in reading
and writing.
TO BE WIPED OCT BT A TIDAL
WAVE.
An Extraordinary Bogn. Dispatch
that its Author Never Scut,
Sets York 9>m.
Recently a telegraph operator, named
Thomas Holister, was arrested in San
Francisco by a Chicago detective. Hol
ister had formed a plot to cut the tele
graph wires uniting New York and San
Francisco, and then to send East a dis
patch, dated at some station in the
Sierras, saying that a tidal wave, fol
lowed by an earthquake, had destroyed
San Francisco and Virginia City. The
object of the plot was to cause a panic
in Pacific Mail stock and Comstock secu
rilies in the New York market, the panic
to be taken advantage of by Cun fed
erates. For several months the West
ern Union Company knew that their
wires were being tampered with, and

At
Hard to Know How to Operate.
Prices at the North and in Europe,
both in stocks and merchandise, continue
to fluctuate to such a degree that the
wisest operators are oftentimes at their
wits’ ends. Especially is this true of the
transac ions in metals. The London
Economist thus notes the rise and fall in
these articles since July 1, 1879:
Copper rose 35 per cent, in six months
and fell 24 per cent, in three months.
Pig iron, in the same periods, rose 78 per
cent, and fell 61 per cent.; tin rose 01 per
cent, and fell 30 per cent: tin plates rose
67 and fell 48 per cent., and lead rose 48
and fell 24 per cent.
Remarking on the above, the Balti
more Sun says: “It will be observed
that though about half the rise in these
prices has been lost, prices are still so
much higher than they were nine months
ago, that there is no danger of their get
ting back to the old level, unless it be in
the case of pig iron. That has fallen
back four-fifths of the rise already. ”
traveled along the line for several weeks,
and finally came upon a clue at a spot
few miles east of Battle Mountain,
this spot the wire had been cut, and
piece that could readily be disconnected
had been let in. The detective further
found an insulated wire concealed in the
grass and sage brush near by. An end
of it long enough to reach the main line
was coiled up. The wire ran north, and
the detective, following it for a mile,
came upon an excavation in the ground
which was roofed in with branches and
turf, and which contained, buried in one
comer, several Leyden jars, strips
copper and bottles of acid. The detec
tive concealed himself near by and
watched the place for several days, but
without resuit.
One day at Battle Mountain he saw in
a newspaper an acconnt of the arrest for
a breach of the peace of a telegraph
operator whom he had known iu Chicago.
The detective, from what he knew of the
man, was prompted to go to San Fran
cisco and look alter him. He visited
Holister’s room and there found what
confirmed his suspicions that it was Hol
lister who had tampered with the West
ern Union wires. Hollister was arrested
and made confession. Iu his room was
found the following, written upon
piece of foolscap paper:
“At ten o’clock this morning a tidal
wave from the Pacific Ocean swept over
San Francisco, wiping out the entire city
in ten minutes. It advanced in and
rose until the w aters were ten feet deep
in Sacramento and Stockton. Accom
panying this oceanic disturbance was a
tremendous shock of earthquake, which
was felt most severely at Virginia City.
The mines on the Comstock are a mass
of ruins. No further particulars can be
gained at present.
This, Holister said, he had intended to
send as a dispatch to the Associated
Press. The decline in Comstock securi
ties bad delayed the carrying out of his
design. He made his headquarters in
San Francisco, and was only waiting for
a rising market. The apparatus found
near Battle Mountain had been placed
there by him, and he intended to cut the
wires und seed his dispatch at that point.
Judge Davis and the Presidency.—
Says a Washington dispatch: “In po
litical circles there was to day some
comment over the letter of Judge Davis.
It is considered, of course, a bid for the
Democratic nomination, but the general
impression is that the opportunity for
Judge Davis has passed away, not to
return. Some of the Republican Sena
tors said they would not be surprised to
find the Judge iu accord with their party
after thi9 session, for he would not be
likely to forgive the Democrats if they
aid not nominate him.”
Let Them Tky It.—It seems that the
project of stealing the electoral votes of
New York for the Republican candidate
lias been revived at Albany. This is
about the surest way of securing Demo
cratic success next fall that could be
devised, so that the stalwarts are per
fectly welcome to attempt it if they like.
There is, however, one little drawback,
says the Baltimore Gazette, even if con
sidered from their point of view, and
that is, if cast in this fraudulent manner,
the electoral votes of New York would
not be counted.
A New Raieboad.—Mr. E. C. Gor
don, a brother of Senator Gordon, of
Georgia, has been canvassing Walker
and other counties in Alabama for the
purpose of securing subscriptions to
line of railroad to be constructed through
that section from some point on the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad. His
proposition is to the effect that Eastern
capital will commence operations to
wards building a railroad within four
months and get it ready for use within
three years, if the owners of the land
will release their mineral interest in said
lands to the parties proposing to build
said road. It is said that no doubt ex-
but that Gordon and the enterprising
men backing him will push the road
through, and that Jasper or South
Lowell, Ala., may soon become a rail
road town. We don’t suppose, however,
that the owners of the land will give up
their iuterest, though they will no doubt
donate a large part of them.
Perhaps the greatest political surprise
of the day is the reveaiment of the fee
bleness of Justice Field’s hold upon the
California Democracy. It was expected
that the California Democratic Conven
tion would be nearly or quite solid in his
support, but the fact proved to be that
he had but two supporters there. Doubt
less his friends will claim that the Cali
fornia Democrats desired to conciliate
theWorkingmen by confirming their ex
pressed choice, Senator Thurman, but i
this explanation is insufficient to account
for a Presidential candidate’s loss of his
own State. Despite Mr. Field’s very re
markable alleged capture of a majority
of the Virginia delegates to Cincinnati, it
is tolerably evident that his candidacy
may he labeled, "Killed by his own
State," and shelved.
But is this law?” “Aye, marry is’t
Crowner’s quest law.” We find in the
Cork Examiner a report of an inquest on
the body of an old woman who had died
of starvation. With her niece deceased
had resided in a miserable room nine
feet by seven, with six other inmates.
They were without food for days. There
was no bed, not even a pretext for one,
in the room. The body lay on the bare
floor uncovered, save with the scanty
clothing. After hearing evidence of
this kind the Coroner said to the jury
Your verdict will be that she died from
natural causes." Whereupon one of the
jurors, Mr. Horgan, indignantly ex
claimed: “If you call it natural causes to
He on a floor without clothing and not to
have enough to eat, I think those causes
would carry off every one of us if we
were circumstanced in the same way.
‘It is certainly a most appalling case,”
rejoined the Coroner; and notwithstand
ing the appalling nature of the case, the
jury found a verdict that deceased died
from natural causes. The causes may
and appear to be natural enough in
Ireland; but in what other country
would such an “appalling” case be so
disposed of ?
A New York Herald Washington dis
patch says; “Gen. Bradley T. Johnson,
of Baltimore, is authority for the state
ment that Justice Field has a literary
bureau in full operation here. He says
it is well organized, and that it is flood
ing the country with literature, which it
is expected will advance Mr. Field's
chances for the Cincinnati nomination.
The main material circulated by this bu
reau up to the present time is said to be
made up from the recent dissenting opin
ions of Judge Field.”
Mb. Yknnob Prophecies Again.—
Mr. Henry G. Vcunor comes forward
again with his direful prophecies of
storms, heat, cold, etc. His letter is
dated at Montreal, May 18, and in it he
says: “1 believe that June will bean
intensely hot month on the whole, hut
the end of the present month, and prob
ably the ‘first of June,’ will be fall-like,
with frosts again. July will be a terri
ble month for storms, with terms of j
intense heat, but another fall like re
lapse, with frosts, will, in all likelihood,
occur a few days before the 20th. I fear
the storms of thunder and hail will be
of unusual severity during July. I must
claim the verification of my prediction
relative to ‘a cold wave, with frosts,
over a large portion of the United States
between the 10th and 15th of May.'
The relapse toward the close of the pres-1
ent month will be more severe than that
just past."
Virginia nob Bayard.—A prominent
and well informed gentleman from Vir
ginia has assured Representative Martin,
of Delaware, that, all reports to the con
trary notwithstanding. a majority of the
Virginia delegates to Cincinnati are iu
favor of Senator Bayard as their first
choice, and that all of the delegates will
be in favor of him if, when they get to
Cincinnati, they can be convinced that
Mr. Bayard is the most available candi
date. Representative Martin says that
be is in receipt of letters which lead him
to believe that Mr. Bayard is constantly
gaining in public favor. That such i-
the case in the South there can be no
doubt. We believe that if the vote of
the Democracy of Georgia were to be
taken today Thomas F. Bayard would
lead the field by large odds. He is em
phatically the man of the people.
Opposition to Tilden.—Private dis
patches received in Washington from
Missouri are to the effect that at the ap
proaching Democratic State Convention,
no instructions -pill be given to the dele
gates elected to Cincinnati. It is said,
however, that the delegates to be chosen
will certainly be anti-Tilden, and proba
bly in favor of William R. Morrison, cf
Illinois.
From Kentucky private intelligence is
to the effect that a very strong spirit of
resentment has sprang up among promi
nent Democrats against what is
alleged to be the evident hope
of the Tilden-Wattcrson wing, to
bulldoze the Democracy of Ken
tucky into sending a Tilden delegation
to Cincinnati. As a result of this, it is
said, Kentucky will send a strong anti-
Tilden delegation.
Grant’s Nomination.—Don Cameron,
before he left Washington, expressed
himself as entirely satisfied of Grant's
nomination at Chicago on the first ballot.
One of the Vermont Representatives in
the House says he does not believe Judge
Edmunds’ name will be presented at all,
but that the Vermont delegation, with
perhaps one exception, will vote for
Grant on the first ballot. If Mr. Ed
munds’ name is not brought before the
convention there is said to be a strong
probability that Grant will also get a
good part of the delegation from Massa
chusetts on the first ballot
Its singular capacity for blundering
has had a damaging effect upon the
popularity of the Gladstone Cabinet
Even the London correspondent of the
New York Tribune, an enthusiastic ad
mirer of Gladstone, is forced to admit
that the remarkable series of mistakes
committed by the Liberal Ministers since
their elevation to power has done the
new government serious harm. If it is
not more cautious in the future its tenure
of official life will be brief and inglori
ous, as Lord Beaconsfield predicted it
would be from the first.
A colored barber, who is a Grant dele
gate from Texas to Chicago, and evident
ly looks to material rewards in political
life, writes to a Washington friend: “We
are going a fishing this fall, not for fun,
But to catch fish, and the way to catch
fish is to put bait on the hook which the
fish will bite at.”
Some people may have wondered why
the Nihilists have been so quiet in Russia j
of late. The New York Sun, which is
good authority on such matters, claims
that a trace has been brought about by
the action of the Czar’s advisers in se
curing the acceptance of the ultimatum
of the Revolutionary Committee. It is
certain that unusual moderation has of
late marked the course of the govern
ment.
The Philadelphia Record says: “If
Southern Democrats choose to be gov
erned in their selection of Presidential
candidates by their estimate of Northern
opinion rather than by their own judg
ments with reference to Northern states
men, they should be careful not to draw
their inspiration from interested sources.
The public acts of public men are the
best means of judging ifiem,
The Republican National Convention
meets at Chicago on Wednesday, June
2d, at noon. Consequently only a week
remains for the delegations to be “fixed,”
such of them, at least, as are uninstruct
ed or unpledged. GjMt has the boom
just now, and is liker^o catch most of
the floaters.
Horn Horatio Seymour has been inter
viewed again, and this time declares
that, aside from considerations of health,
he would not accept the Presidential
nomination from the simple fact that he
doesn’t believe he could carry New
York. That ought to settle it.
Wholesale Emigration to Colo
rado. —A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Colorado Springs
May 15th, says: “The tide of travel
which has set towards Colorado is with
out parallel in her history. People are
at the present time pouring into Denver
at the rate of over 1,000 a day. The
train which brought me carried 700
passengers, while two other roads had
their loads of living freight to empty into
the lap of the City of the Plains. At the
present rate of travel, over 100,000 people
will he added to Colorado’s population
before the 1st of July. Most of those
who come arc bound for the mines, and
the ‘Gunnison country' is the goal for
which the greater part of them have set
out They go to ‘make or breakmost
of them will break. They do not come
to work, but with the vain delusion that
they will in some unaccountable manner
pick up gold. The Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Company has a stand
ing advertisement calling for 1,000 men
to work on an extension of the road
Notwithstanding good wages are offered,
it cannot cbtain the required cumber,
although many thousand able bodied
men will spend the summer in idleness in
the Gunnison.’ ”
Political Self Sacrifice. — The
United States Marshal for Iowa, who has
been in Washington for several days, has
addressed a letter to the Attorney Gen
eral, setting forth that he has already ex
pended out of his private funds $10,000
to pay the expenses of the United States
courts in that State; that both his credit
and his patriotism are exhausted, and
that he has telegraphed to the Circuit
and District Judges at Des Moines to
close the courts. The Attorney General
has replied, commending the Marshal
for his action in expending so much of
his private funds, and assuring him that
the department cannot blame him that
he has concluded to do so no longer.
The Attorney General also takes occasion
to say that he has several times called
the attention of the Appropriation Com
mittee to the necessity for making pro
vision for the expenses of the courts and
the compensations of the marshals. It
will, of course, be attempted to make
political capital out of this, but the coun
try is well aware that Congress has made
the appropriation no less than three
times, and each time the President has
vetoed the bills containing the appropri
ations, simply in behest to the selfish in
terests of his own political party.
Georgia’s New Senator.
Fortyth Advertiser.
On the 15lh insL Senator Gordon ten
dered hi9 resignation as Senator from
Georgia and Governor Colquitt reluct
antly accepted it, after he had ineffectu
ally endeavored to persuade General
Gordon to withdraw it. On the next
day Governor Colquitt offered the seat
to ex Governor Brown, and he accepted.
Of course these happeuings created much
sensation throughout the State. Generai
Gordon is the most popular mau in
Georgia, and the people universally will
regret his retirement. He was first
honored for his brilliant war record,
but afterwards became dear to the peo
ple from his efficiency in the Senate.
Ex Governor Brown was at one time the
most unpopular man in the State, and
while his conduct, during the last few
years, ha3 partly atoned for what
the people regarded as heinous sins
during the reconstruction period, yet
there lingers in the breasts of a large
number of Georgians bitter feelings to
wards him. Ilis appointment aroused
from a long slumber these bitter feelings
engendered many years ago. In Col uni
bus an indignation meeting was held, in
which prominent citizens expressed
themselves fiercely towards Governor
Colquitt and ex Governor Brfcwn. The
feeliDg there was more bitter than else
where, because ex Governor Browu was
the prosecutor of some citizens of
Columbus, before a military court, for
the offense of murder, ft will be re
membered that last fall he made a
lengthy explanation of his conduct in
this case, which was regarded as per
fectly satisfactory to a large number, but
not so to the people of Columbus.
The feeling of indignation was so great
in some portions of the State that it was
openly charged that General Gordon had
bartered away his seat in the Senate for
a railroad position with a large salary
attached, and that Governor Colquitt
assented to the bargain.
We have briefly given the facts of the
case and will give the conclusions which
we have calmly arrived at. It is well to
treat these questions arising from this
case with the same conservatism that
should govern our conduct in all ques
tions of public importance.
First The characters of Gen. Gordon
and Colquitt forbid the thought that
there was any “bargain” or “trade,” and
when they boldly announce that there
was not the thought nor hint of any re
turn to be made to Gen. Gordon for the
surrender of his seat, then aisurauce be
comes doubly sure that there was none.
In our opinicn these two men are above
the suspicion of the faintest taint of cor
ruption.
Second. We believe that Governor
Colquitt thought that in appointing
Joseph E. Brown Senator, he was se
curing the services of perhaps the most
capable man in Georgia.
Third. We believe Gov. Brown will
prove as capable for the place as any Sen
ator from any Stvte, and that if the peo
ple can forget the animosities of the past,
that they will be abundantly satisfied
with him as their Senator. He can and
will do a great deal of good work for
Georgia and the whole country.
There seems to be an unwritten politi
cal law which requires that a man shall
have, at least, the indorsement of his
own State to give him a standing in
National Convention as a candidate for |
the Presidential nomination. Grant,
Sherman, Blaine and Windora, respec
tively, have their States at their backs.
Applying this principle to the case of |
Judge Field, his claims appear to be
effectually barred by the vote taken on
Thursday in the California Democratic
Convention expressive of the preferences
of the delegates. Thurman had 173
votes, Tilden 76, and Seymour 75, while
Judge Field was at the tail enc^of the |
li-t, with only' two supporters. This
does not look as if his was the magic
name to sweep the Pacific States for the
Democracy next November. His sup
posed great popularity, if it exists at all.
must be outside of the Democratic party*.
Postponing Adjournment.—-A Wash
ington dispatch say3: “A statement was
put in circulation Monday to the effect
that the Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions had agreed to amend the House i
adjournment resolution by fixing the
time of adjournment for June 10. This |
was an error. The committee has taken
no action on the House resolution, and
wdl not until the appropriation bills are
a more advanced condition. The
opinion of the members of the commit-,
tee is, however, that the adjournment
cannot well take place before June 10 to
June 15. In the meantime both houses |
will work with a will to get through at
the earliest possible moment.”
An Anti-Grant Philippic.—The fol
lowing card from lion. C. B. Far well is
published at Springfield, Illinois :
'To the Republicans of Illinois: By
the personal and desperate exertions of
Senator Logan and of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue and his collectors,
and by the disgraceful interference of
national officials in primaries and county
conventions, General Grant has appa
rently carried Illinois by the contempti
ble majority of 38, with Cook county
unrepresented. If the whole 92 dele
gates of Cook county had been admitted,
the vote would have been 54 against
Grant. If the 56 uncontested delegates
from Cook county had been allowed to
vote, there would have been 18 majority
against Grant. The convention was
packed from its organization. The chair
man was ordered te recognize only cer
tain persons. Debate was cut off aud
parliamentary law neglected or overruled,
as the exigency required. What is so
meagre a majority in his own State
worth to General Grant? The anti-
Grant districts have appointed district
delegates, and will present them at Chi
cago. Logan and Garcelon stand as the
|political burglars of the time, and Lo
gan’s crime against liberty will, in the
end, bring him no more spoil than was
won by Garcelon. C. B. Farwell.”
Jackson County, Ala., May 22, 1880.
—Editors Atlanta Constitution: 1 see from
a copy of your paper, which has been
sent me by some friend, that my son, the
Hon. John B. Gordon, has resigned his
seat in the Senate of the United State?,
and that much excitement prevails on
account of it. I 9ee some favorable and
some condemnatory expressions concern
ing it I think it, perhaps, not out of
place for me, his father, to write you this
short communication. My son has ever
been dutiful, obedient and confiding.
From his earliest youth to the present
time he has been the pride and the joy of
my life. I am now nearly eighty-five
years of age—a few more days and
shall have passed away.
I would feel that my teachings and
counsels would have been to little pur
pose if the slanders and falsehoods ut
tered against my son had any foundation
in fact.
As I stated above, he has always been
obedient and confiding. When he could
reach my ear he has always consulted me
before taking a momentous step.
He made me a visit in March last, and
while here he said to me, “Pa, I am tired
of public life. I crave the peace and
quietude of my home and home affairs
besides, I can’t save up any money out
of my salary; and the idea of dying and
leaving my family without a competency
troubles me no little.” He then went on
to say that if he was out of the Senate
he Could make a great deal more money
and would have to spend a great deal
less, and added that he had about con
cluded to resign, feeling that the public
interests would not suffer thereby, and
his private interests would be protected.
I advised him to that course and
urged him not to delay it, and instead
of being surprised at his resignation now
I am only surprised that it was not
sooner. As to the insinuations that he
was “bought out” or “bargained out,
I pronounce it infamously and shame
fully false, and my blood almost curdles,
and my old limbs totter with indigna
tion when I think of such charges being
made against him. From his youth to
his manhood he has been the embodi
ment of honor and truthfulness. In his
boyhood he would never betray a friend,
and at least once to my knowledge he
suffered a severe punishment at school
rather than betray the confidence
of a schoolmate. Would he then
now, in the zenith and glory of
his manhood, betray the people in
whose defense he has proven, on
a thousand occasions, his readiness to die
Would he betray or sell for lucre that in
tegnty aud honor which is dearer to him
than life itself! No! no! no! Aw ay
with such infamous falsehoods. Let
those who condemn his course put them
selves iu his place. He had served his
people in war and in peace with undying
devotion. He had on his hands a large
and growing family; his State and people
are now free and prosperous, and no
longer require his service: his financial
affairs and home matters demand his at
tention. The Constitution and the laws
of his country give him the right to re
tire. His salary is not sufficient to sup
port his family and meet all his needs for
money. He is not rich; after years
of toil in his country’s service, he
comes out poorer than he went in. He
is offered a position which will afford
him rest and quiet and a competency*.
Georgia has other sons capable of filling
his place in the Senate. Where, then,
is the crime of which he is guilty? What
one of his accusers would not have
acted as he did under similar circum
stances?
With Governor Brown’s appointment,
have nothing to do, and only feel in
terested in it as an old citizen of Georgia.
I am satisfied of one fact, however, and
that is tha? he has the brains to serve hi9
State with great distinction, and that
Governor Colquitt appointed him be
cause he thought he was the best man
for the place, and that Georgia’s interests
would not suffer m his hands. I voted
for him for Governor and Judge many
years ago. He certainly made a good
Judge and an excellent Governor. I sin
cerely trust and believe ibat he will serve
his State as faithfully now. Truly
yours, Z. H. Gordon.

I Saved by His Watch —A singular
Occident happened to Alonzo Tiffany, a
workman in the box factory, the other
day. He was running a boring machine.
Bearing on a trifle too hard, the crank
broke, and he fell over on the auger,
which is operated by steam power, and,
of course, kept right on as if nothing
had happened. His clothing w caught
by the auger, which wound the cloth
around itself until it came in contact
with his watch, boring a hole into it,
tearing out the works and then breaking
off, which released Tiffany. But for the
breaking of the auger it would have gone
on and bored a hole right through him,
there having been no one near to assist
him.—Osteegv (H. Ti) Palladium.
