Garfield See* His Blnnder-Tlie En>
Serins Wedge That Did Not Knur
—The Handy Revenae Cutters—
Official Junketing* Reaamed-The
Board of Health on the Lookout—
The Fortune Bay ludemnlty.
Washington, May 30.—“Mahone, Vir
ginia,” is very mad. He is denouncing the
administration. He and his friends say all
manner of things against Mr. Garfield and
his government. A short time ago a Ma
hone delegation, composed of Readjustee
aDd Republicans, called on the President.
The President told them to coalesce and
join Issues. He believed the Democratic
party could be split by such joining of
forces. M&hone liked this. It was when
he was considered somebody, and he was
in point of notoriety at the head of all pub
lic men. The President also talked In very
good terms to M&hone, and that little fel
low thought the goose was hanging from
the top limb. But when the Mahone bar
gain in the Senate dropped clean
through and the purchase money
could not be paid, the Republican Senators
began to get a little cool towards Mahone
and fhow some of the contempt they felt
for him. Last week the county and mu
nicipal elections in Virginia were held.
Instead of Mahone and bis party having
made anything by the attempted dicker,
the votes talked the other way. They were
completely cleaned out. Even In the strong
Re adjuster counties they were taken Into
camp. Tbe other day a Republican delega
tion from Virglnia called on the President.
Mr. Garfield told them to run a straight out
Republican oreanlz-.tlon, and not to coa
lesce with the Mahone men. A change of
circumstances often induces a change
of advice. Mahone knows of this and
is mad. lie went to the President to
see about the Federal patronage in Virginia,
by which he was to break tbe Democratic
party, and build up a “new and more liberal
fentiment.” He got no encouragement.
The President, who a few short months ago
sent Mahone flowers from the White House,
did not seem to be as enthusiastic as of old.
Mahone left disgruntled. He called on
Blaine as the assistant boss of the ranch,
but got even a colder reception than from
Garfield. This is why he Is bo very mad.
He calls it treachery. Other people are
very glad at his discomfiture, and are so
good as to point morals from bis experience.
This might be said to be almo-t the final
act In the Mahone drama. He will never
again amount to anything In his State.
He has never figured as anybody
out of it. The first attempt of
the Garfield administration to “break the
solid South” falls with Mahone. There
will probably be, no other attempt. The
complete failure of tbe first is not only
liughable, but must be sickening to those
who expected such great results from It.
The solidity of the South will be left to
shape Itself. It is fully demonstrated that
any “plan” to “break” it must of Itself fall
to pieces.
JUNKETING KKVIVED.
The full advantages that a revenue cutter
possesses for pleasure excursions have
never been fully realized until tfili season
by government, officials. These vessels are
under the Treasury Department, and
have only at infrequent intervals
b“en used to junket with. But all
this neglect will now be made up. The
convenience and comfort of these brots is
being recognized. The President has taken
several trips down the river already on one
of them which is kept stationed here. An
other official pleasure party went down
from Baltimore last week, and had three or
four nice days in Chesapeake Bay.
Today the cutter stationed here
was again put to public service by a very
nice trip down the Potomac with Treasury
and other government officers on board.
The revenue cutter of the future will find
no just cause to complain that its useful
ness to the country is neglected.
THE HEALTH OFFICERS VIGILANT.
Officers of the National Board
of Health and of the Marine
Hospital service have been ex
amining their reports from all quarters of
the South and West Indies witn a great
deal of Interest. They are a little anxloua
about yellow fever. From the reports
which they have received they say they do
not think there will be any yellow fevsr in
the United States this season. There may
be Isolated cases, of course, but no epi
demic is feared. In making these state
ments the officers of the services mentioned
say they are only opinions. It la early yet
to make any predictions, but they now have
no fear of an epidemic.
THE FORTUNE BAT INDEMNITY.
Negotiations have been concluded be
tween tbe Secretary of State and Sir Edward
Thornton, the British Minister, In regard to

American fishermen.

A Chattanooga Institution to Wind
Up Its Afl airs.
Chattanooga, May 30.— The Discount
and Deposit Bank, of this city, has the fol
lowing notice posted on its closed doors
this morning:
"This b&Dk deems it be3t for
the interests of all concerned to wind up its
affairs and cease the business of banking,
and to that end the entire asset! of the
bank have been assigned to T. M. McCon
nell, 8. A. Key and Edgar McKenny, to con
vert Into cash and pay all creditors without
preference. The assets of the bank are
amply sufficient to pay all its liabilities. If
from any cause they should not, the liabili
ty of the stockholders under the terms of
the charter makes It absolutely certain that
every creditor will get every dollar due
him. The assignees will be able In a day or
two to give all information desired by
creditors, and will do so.
“Signed, John Kino, President.”
The unexpected assignment causes much
comment, tbe bank having received de
posits to the closing hour on Saturday. The
liabilities are reported at $104,000, and the
available assets at $106,000. To-morrow
the assignees will pay 25 per cent, of all the
liabilities, and the balance will be paid as
quickly as the money can be realized from
the assets.
The stockholders are John King, Thomas
Crutchfield, D. M. Bell and A. C. Burns’
estate. The bank was organized in 1867.
The desire to retire from active business on
account of failing health is the reason given
by the stockholders for the assignment.

Mexican Insolence. — Mexican offi
cials seem to be inspired with special
anxiety to offend the United States.
The arrest of citizens is one fact going to
show this, and the detention of an
American ship is another. Admiral
Wyman has been instructed to send a
man-of-war to inquire into this, and we
may be certain that the duty will be dis
charged with haste and resolution.
What, then, do the Mexicans mean? It
may be simply the stupidity and arro
gance of some of her officials; but we
think it indicates an intention to defeat
the railroad plans of the company repre
sented by Grant, and opposed in Mexico
by the anti-American party. What the
upshot will be we cannot predict, but
Mr. Blaine will not suffer the peace to
be broken if he can help it, because it
would bring Gen. Grant to the front in
such a manner as to settle the Republi
can succession in his favor. —Norfolk

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1881.
THE OUTLOOK AT ALBANY
THE BOSSES AGAIN ON THE
GROUND.
Tbelr Opponents Emboldened—They
Only Want a Square Vote In Joint
Convention—Doubtful Hen Coming
Down Off tbe Fence—Conklins’*
Backer* Determined—Tbe Assem
bly Calls a Caucus.
Albany, May 30.—Vice President Ar
thur, ex Senators Conkling aud Platt, and
several other leading atal warts, reached
this city this morniDg and are at the Dela
van House. There are very few members
of the Legislature in the city, and there is
no excitement.
The suggestion is made in some quarters
that tbe Legislature take a recess until
after the November election, and then come
together again and vote for two United
States Senators. It is said that then mem
bers can vote more independents of the in
fluences which now govern them, for the
reason that they would know the disposi
tion of their constituencies toward them.
If they were renominated and re-elected
then they would understand that their re
spective positions now on the question were
approved. If they are not renominated or
not elected they can vote accordingly. This
plan Is attributed to the stalwarts. The
administration supporters laugh at this
proposition as entirely insufficient. They
say they do cot want to consider any plans
just now. All they want Is a vote in joint
session. “No caucus, no plans, no ma
chine contrivances whatever.”
If Conkling and Platt cannot get the now
requisite eighty votes, owing to the absence
of J. 8. Carpenter, they say they will ac
cept their defeat. They do not claim as yet
that there will be eighty votes against tbe
resigning Senators. Tbe fact U no one
knows certainly how the vote will stand.
The administration section claim every mem
ber who has requested that his name be
taken from the call for a caucus as an op
ponent of Conkling. The stalwarts at the
start put down some ninety names of mem
bers on their call for caucus, and their
names crumbled away until the list con
tained oDly a minority, or some fifty names.
But those who withdrew their names, or
the most of them, never signed the paper
oslracising Conkling and Platt.
The administration men were jubilant
this evening over fresh accessions ro their
ranks. Among them was Senator Mills, of
Utica, -\yho last week held aloof and would
not state his position. Messrs. Gorsline,
Boardman, J. M. Palmer and Gates, mem
bers of the Assembly, wbo have been classi
fied with the stalwarts, are now placed with
the administrationists. Other changes are
also anticipated, and the administrationists
all claim that the vote for Conkling
to morrow will show him to be In
a minority, in which case, they
say, he will be abandoned entirely. On
the other hand, the stalwarts say he
will never be abandoned. That his true
friends will stand by him to the last as
firmly as the 306 did by Grant at the Chi
cago Convention. Among those visiting
ex-Senator Conkling this afternoon was
Gov. Cornell. The Interview lasted over an
hour. The Conkling men In the Assembly
have called a caucus of the Republican
members of that body for to night to agree
upon candidates. The Senators are also
respectfully Invited to attend.
Fragrant Scandals.
Gath writes: No man has yet uncov
ered the full scandals under our govern
ment arising from the power of Repre
sentatives and Senators to make ap
pointments in the name of the United
States. Here we have a Senator six
years in his seat, and who has attained a
national distinction on account of his
party services, who is at this moment
accused of a wholesale system of swin
dling, extending through a large num
ber of States, and done with a boldness
and want of common prudence frightful
to see. Letters are written or tele
graphed, and men employed to increase
a mail service already too munificent,
and the said letters are made the basis of
extravagant appropriations, which the
Senator in his place supports. Mean
time bonds in blank are signed by one of
his postmasters and satellites, and
brought to Washington by the pound,
the same being perfectly worthless.
Why should this man have had postmaa
ters or mail agents, or a large hand in
the Post Office Department at Wash
ington, except in accordance with this
vicious system, which, instead of ma
ing him a statesman, induced him, per
haps, to become a regue?
Another instance of Senatorial patron
age came out not many years ago at a
hotel hop in Washington, where some
of the yonng men experts put their
heads together and agreed that a certain
woman who was at the hop was off
color. The hotel detective followed tbe
damsel up, and discovered that she was
the mistress of a Senator, one of the sly
and moral sort, who always supports the
most stalwart side of his party, believing
ing that the more unreasonable partisan
ship the greater patriot he is. A politi
cal opponent of this man had sent to
Washington the damsel in question,
with an introduction to the Senator, ask
ing him to get her an appointment. It
was easily done, and the government
was paying for the pleasures of
the Senator, who had the prudence to
surround the damsel with all the forms of
respectability,even to bringing her moth
er on to be his housekeeper. On the night
in question she had escaped from dur
ance with a fellow clerk, and was hav
ing a gay time at the ball. This Senator
probably has never had the least idea
that in the city of Washington there
were one hundred persons in almost
daily intercourse with him who knew
all about this hypocrisy. What right
had he, merely on his request, to put
any human being on the pay-rolls of the
government? particularly to corrupt the
service, mislead, perhaps, other young
women in the civil list; and convey to
his fellow citizens a loathsome notion of
the public employment? The man is in
the Senate now, and is a thick-and thin
Conkling man.
Again, there was a distinguished Sena
tor whose patronage extended over the
whole Union, who gave a notable office
in the Senate to a young man as the
price of an intrigue with his wife.
Thousands of people knew it all the
while, and it was a matter of daily com
ment, and even of newspaper notice;
and in his moments of disgust and re
morse the young man himself breathed
his complaints. - Why should such a
Senator have the making of private
character around the capitol building?
Another eminent Senator, perhaps
longer in the public service than any
living man,returned from the Cincinnatti
Convention in 1876, and immediately, by
the help of Grant, had the postmaster of
his city removed, because tnat post
master had expressed a private opinion
in favor of Blaine for President. I was
taking lunch with the old Senator when
he was chuckling over his action, and I
thought to myself that a more disgusting
spectacle of gray hairs I had never seen
The vices of the patronage had made
him a heartless,tyrannical savage,and he
could not bear in a free country to have
one of his office holders even respect a
political rival.
One of the blackest books in the his
tory of man can be written on the patron
age as dispensed by Congressmen and
Senators, elected only for the purpose of
giving us their experience and wisdom
in framing the laws and institutions of
the country. They have little or no
time for such work, being now wholly
engaged in turning men out and putting
others into office. In the British public
service there is a class of men who keep
posted in advance of all scientific and
commercial changes, and are engaged in
holding their country up to its best effi
ciency in the race for wealth and civili
zation. Our public men, gorged with
this slave holding patronage, are often
debating the mere rudiments of political
economy, and many apparently have
never read a book. Good fellowship,
familiarity, coarse fidelity and genial
dishonesty are the most cultivated trails
in this patronage society. How many
men of fine parts have we seen go to the
dogs in a very few years from the glut
of personal power in politics !

THE QUARREL IN THE CABINET.
Either Blaine or HscVeagh Hust
Leave the Preatdent’a Political
Household.
Philadelphia Special to the Boston Herald.
The events immediately attending the
closing hours of Congress have made a
breach in the Cabinet which cannot be
healed except by the retirement of Mr.
Blaine or MacVeagh from the Cabinet.
This fact is not more apparent from the
transactions which followed the rejection
of William E. Chandler for Solicitor
General, than by the drippings which
have fallen from Mr. MacVeagh 's
talk upon politics since his arrival here
to-day to attend the funeral of Thomas
A. Scott. It appears that MacVeagh’s
hostility to any stalwart Presiden
tial candidate was so pronounced
before the Chicago Convention
that he was led into a series of intempe
rate remarks, not only in relation to Gen.
Grant and Mr. Blaine, but in relation to
Gen. Garfield himself. Mr. James Mc
’•lanes, who was then associated with
Mr. MacVeagh in the reform movement,
but afterward made an alliance with
Blaine, and was a leading spirit of the
Blaine forces in Pennsylvania against
Cameron and Grant, now comes to the
front with a series of charges that Mr.
MacVeagh made most disrespectful allu
sions to Gen. Garfield, if not criminal
charges against his official acts and per
sonal integrity. He says that it is a noto
rious fact that Mr MacVeagh was most
bitterly opposed to Garfield’s nomination,
and was not careful in expressing his
connection with Credit Mobilier and De
Golyer pavement transactions. All that
Mr. MacVeagh did say in disparagement
of the President has been placed in Mr.
Blaine’s hands, and most of it has been
faithfully detailed by other lips than
those of the Secretary of State. It is
also claimed that, during the pendency
of William E. Chandler’s nomination,
Mr. MacVeagh made remarks deroga
tory to Mr. Blaine, which will make
it virtually impossible that there shall
be further intercourse between
them. All these facts have been re
ported to the President, but were not
much spoken of by any member of the
administration until since the adjourn
ment of the Senate. Since then the
matter has been the subject of frequent
discussion, until the conclusion has been
arrived at that it is necessary to the har
mony of the President’s political house
hold that Mr. Blaine or the Attorney
General should leave the Cabinet. Mr.
MacVeagh, who is now here, does not
dispute the fact that the differences be
tween himself and the Secretary of
State are very serious, but looks upon
the situation quietly, and seems perfect
ly willing to go or stay, as
the President may elect. He has
kept close hold of his law practice
here, evidently feeling that his tenure in
the Cabinet was exceedingly uncertain,
unless he would sink his individuality,
lay aside his convictions and be a will
ing instrument of the stalwarts. It is
claimed that Mr. McMAttos; who is now
Mr.MacVeagh’s bitter enemy,in furnish
ing many of the facts as to his assaults
upon the President, is not the enly man
of prominence hostile to Mr. MacVeagh.
It is a well known fact that all the stal
wart element is opposed to Mr. Mac-
Veagh's continuation in the Cabinet, and
will assist Mr. Blaine in his war upon
the Attorney General. On Feb. 3, 1880,
before the Chicago Conven
tion, Mr. MacVeagh was
the signer of an address to
the Pennsylvania State Convention,
which address reads: “We may say,
briefly, however, that the number of Re
publicans is very large who cannot be
relied upon to support, on the one hand,
one whose candidacy would violate tra
dition which has become a part of the un
written law of the cation, nor, on the
other, one who regards the skillful use
of patronage for personal ends as the
highest functions of a statesman; nor
one whose past inability to resist tempta
tion would put his supporters on the de
fensive throughout the campaign; nor
one whose personal ambition may lead
him to regard the public service as a
mere instrumentality for furthering
his own ends, and whose convic
tlons are expressions of political
expediency.” The press of the
same date, edited by Edward McPher
son, Mr. Blaine’s adherent, in comment
ing upon the address, said: “The public
will not be slow to conclude that Gen
eral Grant, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Conkling are respectively
aimed at.” It then goes on to criticise
the action of Mr. MacVeagh and his as
sociates in very severe terms. The ad
dress forms a part of the general charge
against Mr. MacVeagh, which, with his
private utterances, is being used in
the warfare which is being made and
to be made upon him. Those
who make claim that his criticism
of every eminent Republican leader
has been such that their association
with him at a head of a department
will greatly embarass the administra
tion, say that the evidence of his intem
perate talk is by no means all in hand.
They also claim that Senator Sherman,
as well as others, will make common
cause against him. On the other hand,
Mr. MeVeagh’s friends claim the under
standing between the President and
himself is perfect; that the President
regards the Attorney General as enti
tled to respect for his convictions, and
will not interfere in the personal quar
rels either between him and Mi. Blaine,
or any other member of the Cabinet.
This is both sides of the controversy as
presented to night. That there is a con
troversy now goiDg on in the Cabinet
which cannot fail to be important in the
present crisis no friend of the President,
the Secretary of State or Attorney Gen
eral denies.
COTTON COMMISSIONS.
Rivalry Between the New York and
NewOrleaua Exchange*.
New York Commercial Bulletin.
At the Cotton Exchange Thursday,
two petitions to the Board of Managers
were being numerously signed. One
asked for an amendment to the commis
sion laws, providing for a rebate of not
more than seven cents per bale to agents
whose names snail be registered on the
books of the Exchange, on payment of
a fee to be fixed by the Board of Mana
gers. Also, that the same rebate be
given to agents in the city. The other
petition was the same, but asks that the
rebate be ten cents.
This is another effort to attach the
agents to the Exchange. It is claimed
that the agents are withdrawing or pre
paring to withdraw their business from
the New York Exchange, and are at
taching themselves to the New Orleans
Exchange, which is holding out extra
inducements for their business. The
New Orleans commission is 25 cents per
bale on country business, with 12| cents
rebate to agents. The recently defeated
proposition for associate members was
one measure to counteract the competi
tion of New Orleans, and the present
proposition of rebates to agents is an
other. One agent has been heretofore
allowed in each town, but this provides
for no restriction of agents.
Grant a Candidate.— The Conkling

“I hope the Legislature will sustain

The reader will see that he says “our
Senators.” Why? What reason has
General Grant for using the word “our,”
he being an Illinoisan? We may be al
lowed to guess that the telegram was
intended to better his own fortunes as a
candidate to succeed Mr. Conkling. If
so, Mr. Conkling will have to cut Grant’s
acquaintance also.— Richmond Dispatch.

THE DEAD AT BEAUFORT.
DECORATION OAT OBSERVANCES.
nt Ceremonies at the National
Cemetery—A Large Attendance—A
Big Day for the Colored People-
Fine military Display—Temperate
Address of Judtie Cowley.
Beaufort, May 30. —Decoration day was
observed here to-day with the usual cere
monies, and, although there was a great
crowd of negroes in town, the attendance
was not as large as has been customary on
such occasions.
The National Cemetery Is just out of the
town, and is a lot of thirty acres enclosed
with a neat brick fence and regularly laid
off with trees and shrubberies. It contains
the graves of nine thousand two hundred
and forty-one Federal and one hundred and
seventeen Confederate soldiers. The Fed
eral graves are marked with marble head
stones and those of the Confederates with
wooden boards. There was no distinction
observable In the decorations, which were
very few, but seemed to be distributed with
out any especial regard to sections.
The military parade, in which the Geor
gia Artillery of Savannah took part, was
very credi'able, and seemed to be the chief
object of attraction to the colored people.
The ceremonies at the cemetery were
opened by prayer, after which Mr. J. W.
Collins, the lutend&nt of the town, deliv
ered a conservative opening address.
The celebration, he said, brought them
together, forgetting ail the differences
of the past, to dojbonor to the memory of
the men who had died for a principle. He
introduced Judge Charles Cowley, of
Lowell, Mass., who was Judge Advocate
General of Dahlgren's fleet during the late
war.
Mr. Cowley opened hi* address with a
historic review of Port Royal and its sur
roundings. This he said w T as not the occa
sion to trace the incidents of the struggles
between France and Spain and France and
England which occurred near this place,
but attention was called to the fact that one
contest begat the other. The slave trade, so
far as the territory of the United Slates
was concerned, first began at Port Royal
and was continued there until the war
ended it. He referred to the efforts that
had been made at Port Royal for the
amelioration of the wards of the nation by
General Shermau and read a letter from
that gentleman explaining wby his orders
distributing the sea islands among the
freedmen were not carried out. In the letter
Bherman says:
“My army was far awav from our sup
plies, and it was with infinite difficulty I
could procure for it the food, clothing and
stores necessary for daily maintenance, much
less to fill our wagons for the next campaign
across the Caroliuas to Virginia, which cam
paign, I contend, was one of the principal
causes of the sudden collapse of the South
ern Confederacy. Had I postponed the
execution of that campaign, in order to
feed the vast crowd of refugees at and near
Savannah, we might have been forced to
wait another year under a load of expense
which might have proved fatal to the gov
eminent Itself. At lesst, such was the ex
pressed opinion of Mr. Stanton, who had
come to Savannah partly to represent this
fact., to stimulate mv further movements,
and to give me the full benefit of his official
authority to hurry up the necessary pre
parations.
“Some people at the South, as well as
North, were so wrapt with the humanita
rian idea to help the poor slave that they
would have ignored the greater purpose, to
use our magnificent armies, then full of
confidence, stresgth and experience, to
conquer our defiant snemy, thus to create
peace and give ample time to adjugt all
the civil questions resulting from th* war
itself.”
He adds that the order Issued by him neces
sarily ceased to be of force upon the cessa
tion of hostilities.
Coming down to the present time, the
speaker, after reviewing the respective doc
trines of States rights and Federalism from
a very high “national” point of view, ad
mitting that while the men who were burled
in the Federal cemetery at Beaufort had
died in the defense of a principle which
was their inheritance, and which
they believed to be right, the men
who had died in the defense of
the Lost Cause were just ashonett, as patri
otic and as disinterested. He said that he
had been surprised to find such a broad and
liberal sentiment in the South. He cited a
conversation with the Rev A. Toomer Por
ter. of Charleston. That distinguished di
vine, he said, had told him that while he
would never admit that he was a rebel or a
traitor in espousing the cause of the South
in the late war, yet be had taken the oath of
allegiance to the Government of the United
States, and having accepted the “national”
view, he would not be enabled to enter into
another war agaiust the government with
out being guilty of treason and rebellion.
The rest of the oration was devoted to a
very practical aud encouraging summary of
the wonderful progress that had been made
by the State of South Caroltna since the
war, to the development of manufactures
and to the earnest efforts in the South to
educate the negro. He had found, he said,
a cheerful and progressive spirit prevailing
in the South, aud he predicted for her peo
ple a happy, useful and prosperous future.
Trouble In the Wigwam.
Boston Post.
It will surprise no intelligent man that
the Cabinet is now found infected with
dissensions tending to a dismemberment
sooner or later. Its principle of con
struction was false, like that of attempt
ing to harmonize the party at large by
giving to each faction its supposed
equitable share of the spoils. Mr. Blaine
is premier in rank and will be in fact.
The slaughter of Chandler by MacVeagh
was a severe blow at the primacy,
and if Mr. Blaine can endure it
he is of different metal from
what he ia generally supposed to be
made of. Either the Secretary of State
or Attorney General must quit. The
President cannot mould the conflicting
elements in his Cabinet after the manner
of Lincoln. The breach in his party is
too wide to be spanned by playing off
one man against another. Lincoln would
have failed in a similar policy but for
the exigencies forced on all by
the war which necessarily kept the
eyes of each upon the common
dangers of the country. As it was
there were severe conflicts among rival
chieftains, and it finally resulted in
retiring his Secretary of the Treasury by
making him Chief Justice. President
Garfield will soon be compelled to make
his choice among his constitutional ad
visers. In the present war with Conk
ling it would seem as if he must hold on
to Blaine for his own protection, for
without him the New York Senator
would prove victor in the contest, which
originated in the White House.
Should the Attorney General go
out, taking it as probable that the dis
sension between him and Blaine is irre
concilable, anew force in Pennsylvania
would be added to tbe enemies of the
administration. It is a nice little quarrel
all around the board. But for the dis
grace which it reflects upon American
politics the condition would be very
amusing. Our Republican friends have
been accustomed to appropriating to their
exclusive use the overrulings of a wise
Providence, and to attribute Democratic
defeat to that cause. If it would not
be impertinent we should like to know
of them what the leanings of Provi
dence are about this time ? There is a
good deal of trouble in the wigwam evi
dently, and (here is quite good authori
ty for the observation that a house di
vided against itself cannot stand. Nor
is it probable that the new version will
afford much comfort in present emergen
cies.
Music in the Grotto.— Mr. J. F.
Olmstead, the landscape gardener of the
capitol grounds, is in the city on one of
his flying trips, to look after the “grot
to” in the capitol grounds. One unique
feature he has introduced is a music box
which plays a dozen or more airs. It is
placed iu one of the subterranean pas
sages of the grotto, and is run by water
power. A water wheel being so placed
that it touches the spring of the music
box, and it is thus set in motion. Here
after, when Senators get angry or tired,
and they sometimes do, they can retreat
to the grotto and listen to tbe dulcet
strains of “Come where my love lies
dreaming,” or “Mother, is the battle
over?”— Washington Star.

THE DE LESSEPS CANAL. *
Interview With the American Con
sul at Panqma—Progr*a* and Char-1
aetarof th Work.
Cincinnati Times.
Mr. John M. Wilson, formerly a mem
ber of the Legislature from Hamilton
county, afterward for several years
American Consul at Hamburg, and’now
occupying the important post of Codsul
to Panama, is in the city.
“How long since yon left Panama, Mr.
Wilson?” said the Times-Star representa
tive, after cordially gieeting the gentle
man from the Isthmus.
“Oh, about two weeks.”
* ‘How goes the work on the great canal
project?”
“Well, there is no great amount of
work being done yet There are about
fifty Frenchmen and a hundred Jamaica
negroes on the ground. The French
surveyors are running lines and the
negroes clearing away the brush and
undergrowth, with which the whole
country is covered.”
“Have De Lesseps’ representatives
made any such start as to convince the
people that the canal will be built ?”
“I can’t say that they have. Before
the Frenchmen came there wa3 an idea
that their advent would make times first
rate, and that every one who had any
thing to do with the work would walk
off with a hatful of money. Instead of
that they are managing things very care
fully. They have had very little money
there, and spend very sparingly. They
propose to divide the line of forty-five
miles into six sections, and proceed with
each as a separate work. The task is a
much more difficult one than the public
seems to think. In the first place they
must purchase the Panama Railroad.
This will cost them about $20,000,000.
It was some time ago reported that they
had done this, but it turned out that
the negotiations had fallen through.”
“As to the real work of building tbe
canal?”
“This means forty five miles of exca
vation, a part of the way through moun
tains three hundred and fifty feet above
what will be the surface of the canal,
and the cuts through solid stone. This,
even, is not the most difficult part of the
work. They propose to change the
course of a river, which work alone will
require a wall of solid masonry over a
mile and a half long and seventy feet
high. These are mere incidents of the
undertaking, and form no part of the
actual labor ot digging the canal. The
$90,000,000, it is not believed, will any
thing like complete the vast work.
There will probably be a canal built
there at some time, but whether the
present effort is to succeed or not re
mains to be seen.”
“What kind of a country is it down
there?”
“The line of the canal is through a
rough country, inhabited mainly by
Chinese. The country is full of malaria,
and no human beings can stand it ex
cept Jamaica negroes and Chinamen.
The latter stand the climate, but die of
homesickness. When building the Pan
ama Railroad the superintendent of the
work said his greatest difficulty was to
keep the Chinese laborers from com
mitting suicide from homesickness.
They would go off in gangs of half a
dozen at a time and hang themselves.
The labor question is the hardest one to
solve in estimating the cost of work. A
man cannot do half as much there as up
here. During the wet season he cannot
work, and when the dry season comes
on he must labor under a sun that sends
the thermometer up to from 125 to 140.”
“What kind of a people are the na
tives?”
“They are a mixture of French, In
dians and negroes. ”
“The government?”
“Panama is one of the nine States
that make up the Republic of Colom
bia. Each State is a sovereign in the
fullest sense of the term. A revolution
in one State in no way disturbs the gen
eral government. Panama elects a
President every two years, and the
event is one of as much importance
there as is our Presidential election here.
The State also sends its Representatives
and Senators to the general government
at Bogota, which, in a mild way, is an
imitation of our foim of government.”
National Cotton Planters’ Associa
tion.
New Orleans Democrat.
Whether it was a hint furnished by
the imposing and national character of
the gathering, or the result of previous
deliberation, it was at all events a proper
and commendable act on the part of the
Cotton Planters’ Association to give
themselves the prefix of “National” in
stead of “Mississippi Valley.” The cotton
planting interest extends beyond the
Mississippi valley and numbers among
its staunchest advocates and most illus
trious exponents the great States of
Texas, Alabama and the Carolinas. An
association aiming to represent this in
terest should not be local or sectional in
its character, but should embrace within
its scheme aDd enlist in Its couucils
and its efforts the whole area in which
the interest finds a dwelling place. We
think the new name more faithfully indi
cates the essence and purpose of the or
ganization, and we congratulate the cot
ton planters on having adopted it.
The closing, or, rather, the full re
ports of the proceedings are not yet
made up, and hence we cannot take a
thoroughly comprehensive view of the
event and its significance, but enough
has already transpired to indicate very
clearly that the meeting has been one
of great importance, not only on ac
count of what it has accomplished,
but on account of the still greater thiDgs
it promises. It is difficult to estimate
the beneficial results that will, flow
from an organized action on the part
of the planters. The great questions of
industrial economy which can be effec
tively and practically treated only
through the medium of concerted effort,
will now be brought home to individuals
and made the objects of a powerful and
active solicitude, literally irtesistible in
its force. Results will flow which, with
out this organization, would have beeD as
unattainable as the inscrutable stars. The
interests of the vast army of producers
will be protected, their rights guaran
teed and their influence asserted. Agri
culturists will become familiar with the
conditions affecting their prosperity,
questions of capital, of labor, of immi
gration, of transportation, of relations
with the middlemen, of science and
progress as bearing upon their avoca
tions; and they will have behind them
the machinery for giving voice to their
aspirations and effect to their demands.
Altogether we regard the meeting at
Memphis as having surrounded with the
happiest auspices this most important
undertaking of the decade. We recog
nize with satisfaction the dignifying and
elevating tendency of intelligent organi
zation, and we hope that this tendency
will find its fullest and broadest realiza
tion in the development of the National
Cotton Planters’ Association.
