He has to husband himself, and, though he spoke several times in Saturday’s caucus, he will hardly, this time, make any characteristic effort in open ses sions of the Senate. He seems confident of his ultimate recovery.” Sparta Planter: “ ‘Alas, how slight a cause may move’ neighbors to acts of violence! A case is pending before the court now sitting of this nature: One neighbor threw some brush into another's field; the brush was thrown back: angry words followed; one neighbor had the other arrested under a peace warrant; then the arrested neighbor had a similar warrant issued for the other: he was also arrested.

TUe President Bequests His Resig nation—A Sherman Man Loses His Head—The Vacancies in the Sen ate Committees—ln memory of Justice *C'ltd\>rd—The Continued Slaes-The Call Covered. Washington, October 17.—1n a nomina tion, which went to the Senate to day, President Arthur, for the first time since he took the oath of office, has done an open act in favor of General Grant. He to-day sent to the Senate the name of Oliver Temple as Postmaster at Knoxville, Tenn., In place of Rule. Rule, during the canvassing pre ceding the Chicago Convention, was the most blatant anti Grant man who opened his mouth. He was a Sherman man. He denounced and abused Grant when the Republicans of Tennessee were nearly a unit for him. lie went to Chicago and howled for Sherman, and kept up his de nunciations of Grant. When Garfield was Inaugurated he was petitioned by the Re publicans of Tennessee to remove Rule. But Sherman’s influence with Garfield was the greater, and he kept his Rule In. The fact that President Arthur bounces him Is a good sign of Grant’s influence, and a pretty good indication to Sherman that he need not look any further to the Presi dential office for any favor or any mercy when there Is a chance to bit him. First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner has been requested to resign by President Arthur. Postmaster General James made an effort to get Tyner removed before Presi dent Garfield was shot, and was about to succeed when Guiteau fired his bulldog. Tyner Is connected, though in no manner by which the law can reach him, with the star route gang. This James knew, and for that reason soon after Garfield’s inauguration requested Tyner’s removal, but the latter, who, since 1876, has dispensed the patronage of the Post Office Department, had gotten around him such Congressional Influence that President Garfield hesitated. Tyner went In on an Inspection tour about eighteen months ago and made a report, showing the star route thieving. He never would make this report public, but held it over the star route men’s heads, and by that means got in on the dividends. All this Is well known at the Post Office Department, but would be difficult to prove In court- President Arthur, in ridding the public service of Tyner, deserves great praise. He did it against almost an ava lancbe of political Influence In Tyner’s fa vor. SENATE PBOCEEDINGS. In the Senate Mr. Teller was relieved from further service on the Committee on Privileges and Elections upon his own re quest. Mr. Bherraan called up his resolution di recting the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit to the Senate a copy of the report of James F. Moline, and urged its consid eration, but It went over until Friday. The Chair announced the appointment of the following Senators to fill vacancies on the standing committees: Foreign Affairs—Messrs. Aldrich and Lap ham, vice Messrs. Burnside and Conkllng. Finance —Mr. Aldrlcb, vice Mr. Burnside. Commerce —Mr. Miller of New York, vice Mr. Conkllng. Military Affairs —Mr. Hawley, vice Mr, Burnside. Judiciary—Mr. Teller, vice Mr. Conkllng.

Transportation Routes to the Seaboard — Mr. Laphara, vice Mr. Platt. Enrolled Bills—Mr. Sewell, vice Mr. Platt. Privileges aud Elections—Mr. Lapham, vice Mr. Teller. The Senate soon after went Into executive eession, and in half an hour adjourned. The confirmations made in executive session were Indian Agents and minor Postmasters. Among the latter was W. A. Elllett at Varksville, Texas, and Oliver Temple at Knoxville, Tenn. IN MEMORY OF JUSTICE CLIFFORD. The bar of the Supreme Court held a meeting to-day to pay respect to the memory of the late Justice Clifford. Senator David Davis presided and James H. McKenney, Clerk of the Supreme Court, acted as Secre tary. Eulogies were pronounced by Judge Divls on taking the chair, Phillip Phillips, Montgomery Blair, R. T. Merrick and oth ers, and a series of resolutions were adopted expressive of regret. Mourning will be worn during the present term. CHANGES IN THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. . It has been stated as a fact that President Arthur has asked for the resignation of First Assistant Postmaster General Tjner, and that Frank HattoD, of the Burlington Hawkeye, will succeed him. Tyner is ab sent, but Is expected here to-morrow. No doubt Is felt that Tyner’s resignation has been written. It is reported that Judge Freeman, of the Post Office Department, will soon be superseded. THE CONTINUED SIXES. Undir Secretary Wlndom’s call of Octo ber 10th for five millions of continued sixes for redemption, $5,608,000 were offered. All will be accepted.

Rome, October 17.—The Pope, In his ad dress to the Italian pilgrims at St. Peter’s yesterday, stated that the deplorable state of affairs placed before him i he alternative of enduring continual captivity, made harder dally,or of going into exile. He therefore ask ed Catholics to watch and pray for the liberty and independence of the Pope. He con cluded by saying that he was no longer se cure in bis palace. That he was outraged In his person and dignity in a thousand ways. The gravity and earnestness of the Pope made a profound impression. He closed his address with his arms raised to Heaven, as though imploring help. London, October 17. —A dispatch from Rome to the Times says “that it Is Impossi ble to describe the enthusiastic cheers after the Pope gave his benediction on the above occasion.

The steam er was considerably damaged, but the ex act extent of the injury cannot be ascer tained until she is righted. The Crescent City belongs to the Pacific Mall Line. She was in the dock having her bottom painted. Twelve men were at work on her when she suddenly lurched over on her port side. John Hart was killed Instantly; Wm. Butler seriously and John McCann, the foreman, slightly Injured. The remainder of the men eecaped. The vessel was not damaged. TERRIFIC TYPHOONS. Great Destruction and Loss of Life In Cnina. San Francisco, October 17.—Advices from China to September 14 say that the disasters to life and property wrought in land by the typhoons are very great. A vil lage called Shetosha, in the Kow district, has been completely swept away by floods, and all the inhabitants drowned. A steam launch was dispatched to the locality, and upward of two hundred bodies were recovered. A typhoon passed over Foo Chow, doing great damage to the town and to foreign and native shipping. The German bark Caroline Behn was completely wrecked by a typhoon, which occurred on the 13th of September. Hundreds of houses were blown down, bridges carried away and many lives lost.

CUDGELS AND BAYONETS. FORSTER S WAR ON THE LEAGUE The Headquarters Moved to Liver* pool—The City In a Ferment —The Dnblln Blot—More Arrests—The Imprisoned Leaders—More Troops Ordered to Ireland.' London, October 17. — 0n Saturday night the police frequently charged the crowds of people on Castle Bridge and Backvllle street, Dublin. The mob shouted, “To h—l with Buckshot,” and cheered Parnell, Dillon and other leaders of the League. Many persons were seriously injured. The severity of the action of the police Is severely condemned. The Irish population of Liverpool Is in a state of great ferment. All officers of the regiments quartered In Ireland have been ordered to return to duty Immediately. The head office of the Irish Land League has been transferred to Liverpool, where Mr. O’CoDnorls conducting Its business. The Fall Mall Gazette this evening says: “As nether O’Brien Dor Quinn have partici pated In the public meetings, their arrest Is naturally taken to mean that the govern ment will tolerate no form of Intimidation however Indirect. The recent proclama ion leads to the same Inference. The Land League is to be suppressed forcibly. That is the long and short of the matter. The violent suppression of the League, which has never yet been declared Illegal, Is only the begin ning of the task which lies before the country. If the land act falls to bring even temporary peace then Great Britain will have to do nothing less than form a wholly new system of government for Ireland. It is intolerable, even impossible, that we con tinue to govern by a series of spasmodic coups and V tats. Coercion may be a useful drug in certain emergencies, but a nation cannot live on coercion for Its dally food, not even Ireland.” The London correspondent of tbe Man chester Guardian says: “It Is stated that the government, In view of the cases of Land Leaguers who escaped to England, have consulted the English and Irish law officers, who consider that any attempt to encourage intimidation from England would be made the subject of an indictment. Mr. Glad stone Is Indisposed, suffering from cold.” The Fifty-First Regiment have been or dered to Ireland. Parnell is In the prison Infirmary along with Dillon, Sexton and O’Brien. Eleven men returning from working a Boycotted farm nearP< rtarlington were fired upon, and five were wounded, one of them seriously. This is the affair that led to the arrest of Andrew and Patrick Gallagher on susp'clon of firing the shots, as before men tioned. A man was mortally shot near Tralee, county Kerry, during an affray be tween the police and a party of armed men. Cork, October 17.- The Irish Times ac cuses the police of the fiercest excesses In dispersing the crowd on Saturday. James Power, Secretary of tbe Middleton, county Cork, branch of the Land League, a prominent member of tbe League, has been arrested, a also have Lynam, the or ganizer of the King’s and Queen’s counties and of the Westmeath Leagues, White, Secretary of the Clare League, aud Henry Eagan, Secretary of the Tulla more branch, and all lodged In Naas jail Biggar left Dublin last evening for Holyhead, presumably for Liverpool, wheie the Land League headquarters are now established. It Is stated that the Dub lin authorities contemplate arrests In Belfast and other parts of the north of Ireland. Sexton, Dillon and O’Brien are charged with being reasonably suspected of treasonable practices. Dublin, October 17.—1 tls proposed to start a fund for the maintenance of the State prisoners. Members of the League claim that Arthur O’Connor, having been recently thoroughly instructed In the man agement of all the affairs of the League, his escape to Liverpool will enable the organization to continue. There are twenty-three persons In the Limerick hospital with bayonet wounds. A Magis trate stated from the bench to-day that the police had strict orders never In future to fire a blank cartridge, but to fire with effect. The corporation to-day adjourned to seek an interview with Mr. Forster, the Chief Secretary, In accordance wich a reso lution, to endeavor to obtain an assurance that the ostentatious display of the police force, which took place on Saturday and Sunday with such lamentable consequences, shall not be repeated. Mr. Abrahams, Treasurer of the Limerick Land League, has been arrested on a war rant charging him with being reasonably suspected of treasonable practices. The New York Stock market. New York, October 17. The stock market opened strong and generally higher, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Indi anapolis showing an advance of 2 per cent., and selling up 1 per cent. After a frac tfonai rise speculation became weak, and a decline of % to 1% per cent, took place, the latter in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Indianapolis. At the first board a firm tone prevailed, and prices sold to 2)4 per cent., Canada Southern, Michi- Central Colorado Coal and Richmond and Alleghany leading. Towards noon the market became heavy and declined % to 2)£ per cent., Manhattan Elevated, Mobile & Ohio, Michigan Cen tral, Kentucky Southern and Colorado Coal being most prominent in the fall. This was followed by an Improvement of to 1 per cent, on the general list, 3 in New York Elevated and 4 in Metropolitan Elevated, but during the afternoon the feeling became unsettled, and the market closed weak at a decline from the highest point of }£ to 2% per cent., which was most marked in Texas Pacific, Wabash, St. Paul and Ohio and Mississippi trunk line properties. Sales aggregated 448,453 shares. An Important Move of Vanderbllt’a Philadelphia, October 17.—An after noon paper says it Is stated upon excel lent authority that Mr. Vanderbilt has about completed arrangements for a con nection with the anthracite coal fields. The connection is to be made by the Geneva and Lyons Road to Corning, New York, and thence to Antrim, Tioga county, Pa., by coal roads already built. It Is pro posed to make Antrim the northern terminus of the Jersey Shore and Pine Creek Road. The right of way for this road belongs to the Reading, and It has never been completed. When completed and used In connection with the roads mentioned It will give the New York Central an entrance to the anthracite coal fields, which is said to be about the Interest Mr. Vanderbilt has In the Reading Road. Yesterday at Yorktown. Yorktown, Va., October 17.—Quite a large number of people arrived to-day, and there is more animation on the streets and along the road to camp than on anyday yet. The Governor of Vermont and escort, con sisting of the Ransom and Estey Guards, of Vermont, and the Burleigh Corps from Whitehall, New York, arrived this morning. The troops started at once for camp. Tbe German Stalwarts on Parnell’s Arrest.

EARLY AND MAHONE. The Latter** Reply to the Former’s Insults. Richmond, October 17.—The following Is published in the Whig: “Washington, D. C., October 14,1881. "To the Public: The speech of General Jub&l A. Early in Richmond on October 11th, 1881, has been read by me. So far as it refers to myself the rank of General Early in the Confederate army entitled the speech to that much. It brings me to decide whether I shall demand satisfaction from General Early for what was intended by him as an insult. After years of unpro voked malice and indirection he presents tbe issue surely and grossly. It admits of no discussion, and would neither be met nor evaded by recrimination. I so accept it. My decision, arrived at advisedlv and maturely, Is that the rank of General Early, which Is his sole claim to recognition, does not outweigh other considerations which forbid 6uch recognition. The public of Virginia need no specifications of the facts concerning General Early, on which I rely for this action. I only desire to make It known that I am not ignorant or neglect ful of his speech. He could give me uo satisfaction and I can have none, even in describing him as he Is known to all men. He may, therefore, pro ceed with his falsehoods and would-be in sults, assured of Impunity so far as I am concerned. William Mahone.” General Early made a speech here a few evenings since grossly abusing Senator Ma hone. It was said, on the appearance of the publication accredited to Early, that General Mahone wrote a challenge to General Early, ac companied by a letter to friends here, say ing that he would adopt either alternative suggested by them. Their advice was to take no notice of Early’s tirade. The above letter is, probably, the outcome of the mat ter. PARNELL’S ARREST. Tbe Feeling In It, Louis-A Mon* •ter Meeting Called. St. Louis, October 17.—A very large meet ing of Irishmen was had at St. Patrick’s Hall yesterday afternoon, at which speeches were made by several prominent Irishmen, and resolutions adopted strongly denouncing the English Government for the arrest of Parnell. A committee was also ap pointed to arrange for a monster mass meeting. A meeting out of doors Is to be had on the night of the 19th, the anniver sary of the surrender of Yorktown. The leading and most Influential Irishmen are engaged in the movement, and the meeting will probably be the largest ever held here. The feeliDg among the Irish la very bitter. BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY. It Is stated that the Turkish force at Tripoli will be raised to 30,000 men. Robert Bishop’s cotton waste factory in South Boston caught fire yesterday from the friction of machinery. The damage Is $35,000; fully insured. The Arabs on Sunday appeared close to the city of Tunis, pillaging the neighboring farms. Gen. Logerat has decided to repair thither to protect the railway immediately. Charles P. McGrail, recently enlisted in the regular army, was found dead in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, ap parently murdered. He came from Yazoo City, Mississippi. Charles Sidney Duffel and Philander Shower have been arrested at Waverly, and Alexander Trousdale, John Hutchins, Lewis Harrington and John Mcßtevens at Paris, Tenn., for dealing in counterfeit coics and notes. At the school district election in Fayette ville, Onondaga county, New York, a direct issue was made on “woman’s rights,” and the woman’s candidate was chosen. It is the second election carried by the women In that place, and gives them control of the Bchool Board. All the election cases on trial in the United States Court at WilmingtoD, Delaware, have been continued until the second Tuesday in January. The reason ie “the scarcity of jurors ” All the cases of this kind given to juries have thus far resulted in disagree ments. The nltro-glycerine magazine belonging to the Roberts Torpedo Company, two and a half miles from Bradford, Penn., contain ing three hundred pounds of nltro-glyce rine, blew up recently. It is believed the explosion was caused by an attempt of bur glars to rob the safe, and there Is evidence that two men were blown to atoms. For several rods around the ground was plowed up as If by an earthquake, and huge trees were blasted and scattered about. Some fragments of flesh and clothing were found. Tbe buying uo of Confederate bonds by a party in New York Is no longer a matter of conjecture. He has hts advertisement In the papers, with the number of his place of business In Wall street, and the price ($3 for every $1,000) he Is willing to pay for them. In addition to the facts heretofore stated in connection with the business, it Is ascer tained that a pool has been formed at Am sterdam, with a view of appealing to the honor of the Southern Btates, and inducing them to exchange their State bonds for those of the Confederacy. Mr. Parnell’s mother, who is just now stopping at the New York Hotel, in the course of some conversation, said: “I regard the arrest of my son as the climax of the Gladstone rule. He found Parnell could not be Intimidated by the imprisonment of Davitt, Dillon and others. There is little doubt now that other prominent Leaguers will be arrested at an early day. The Land League movement will be inci eased tenfold on this and the other side of the Atlantic, and whether Mr. Parnell is in jail or not he will have plenty of supporters to carry on his cause.” The Complaint of Sand Packed Cot ton. Bradstreet. The Secretary of the Oldham (England) Cotton Spinners’ Association has written a letter to Colonel A. D. Shaw, United Btates Consul at Manchester, declaring that thou sands of tons of sand are paid for by the Oldham spinners as cotton, In consequence of fraudulent packing. Word to this effect was received by cable a few days since. At first reading it seems to be a serious charge, and one which should receive prompt at tention. On further examination, however, It will be found that the complaint Is in re ality of little Importance, and that It is, in fact, unjust and untrue. The wording of the complaint Is that cotton is “fraudulent ly" sand packed. If It were so furnished, the buyer, whether in Europe or this country, is already fully protected. Bythe rulesof the Liverpool and of the American Cotton Ex changes, under which all cotton is sold, the buyer has an immediate remedy at the hands of the seller, who Is bound to take back and repay for all such cotton. It therefore cannot be for “fraudulently pack ed” cotton that the complaint is made, but rather on account of “6andy cotton.” It is no doubt true that at times spinners buy and pay for sand as cotton, as some years, es pecially in very dry seasons, a good deal of sand gets blown ioto and Is baled up with cotton, but its presence is plainly seen In the samples by which the cotton is sold, and always causes cotton to be sold cheaper than would have been the case if it had been clean. The allowance, or reduc tion in price, varies according to amount of sand from %c. to 2c. or 3c. per pound. Last year’s crop, wae not a 6andy crop. In consequence of wet and stormy weather during the picking season, it did include a considerable quantity of low, stained, sticky, trashy and dirty cotton. This was caused by the open cotton being blown out of the bolls to the ground. Dirt clung to it, of course, and being picked from the ground it re mained mixed with the cotton. Its presence, however,was clearly shown in the grade and samples, and still more clearly in the prices paid. Some of this cotton was sold as low as 3c. per pound, and at sa7c. per pound large quantities were sold. This, at the same time that clean cottons were bringing 10al2c. per pound. The sellers or produ cers of this low grade cotton cannot be blamed', for damage done; on the contrary, they call for sympathy. The buyers, on the contrary, knew they were buying an infe rior grade because it was cheap. Wm. Hersee, Esq , real estate agent, No. Newark street, Hoboken, New Jersey, says: “I was taken witfr severe pains in the shoulders and right arm. After using every thing I could, and seeing that, instead of improving, it became wqrse, and that my art# was beginning tq become gf little use to ine, i determined to make one more at tempt by using some St. Jacobs Oil. Before the second bottle had been exhausted I was relieved of all my pain as it by magic. I recommend it to all." * KENTUCKY’S METROPOLIS. COYLE DOCOLAS’ CORRESPON DENCE. A Baler In Israel Gone to III* Rest LonUvllle at Yorktown—A Veri table Nestor—Cinderella Realized —A Novel Mode of Bolstering Up a Show —A Relic with a Story— ’’Old Rough and Ready’s” Resting Place. Louisville, Ky.. October 15. After the weary waiting and wasting of the flesh, all that was mortal of the Rev. Stuart Robinson, dis tinguished minister, eloquent orator and truest type of the intellectual, large-minded, cul tured Christian gentleman, has just been con. signed to the dust. During the past summer Dr. Robinson’s health became more and more feeble, but it was thought that a trip to some seaboard resort might revive him and perhaps Infuse new strength, but, after remaining some time in Atlantic City, his symptoms be came very grave, and when he was brought to his home a week or two since it was ap parent the end was not far off. He never arose from his bed after his return, but shortly afterward calmly and peacefully passed away. His funeral was the largest ever witnessed in Louisville. The vast and splendid church where he has for so many years officiated was packed with a crowd so dense as not to leave a spare inch of room, the aisles being filled with those unable to obtain seats, and crowds being turned from the doors. Over this multitude the most perfect silence reigned. The altar was most beauti fully decorated with masses of flowers in rare and exquisite designs, and the interior of the church was draped in mourning. One of the designs borne in ahead of the coffin was a fac simile of one used at the President’s funeral— the “Gates Ajar.” An unusual sight in the long procession that wound out to Cave Hill was a large transfer wagon filled with children of the colored Orphans’ Home, of which Dr. Robinson was the founder, and to which he was one of the principal donors. A strictly Southern man to the end, one of the warmest and most practical friends to the ne groes, and claimed always from them entire confidence and affection. Dr. B. M Palmer, of New Orleans, came up for the purpose of preaching the funeral, being a classmate and life long friend. He preached it as only Dr. Palmer could, grandly and wisely and tender ly, full of comfort for the living and trium phant joy for the dead. Until within a recent period there were four ministers who were fix tures in Louisville, having occupied the same pulpits for several decades; others come and go, and however popular or apparently be loved, they are still itinerary and sub ject to the great law of change. Of this quartette the first to step out of the ranks was Dr. E. P. Humphrey, who, about three years ago, resigned his charge after keeping it for forty years, retiring from active service altogether. Tbe next to go was the Rev. Mr. Hey wood, who had been pastor of the .only Unitarian congregation here, also forty years. Dr. Robinson has now been taken, leaving of the four only the venerable Dr. James Craik, who has been rector of Christ Church for thirty seven years. That must have been a noble class of young souls that went out from old Amherst College so long ago made up of ma terial that was to stand shoulder to shoulder, leal and true in the world’s great work. The other day one lay pale and still, while another of the number stood above him and recounted his toil and triumph, and still another offered up the funeral prayer. Henry Ward Beecher was also a classmate. Contrary to expectation, a detachment of the Louisville Legion, accompanied by a brave phalanx of society ladies, left for the York town celebration, but the observed of all ob servers in the Louisville group will doubtless be our centenarian. Dr. C. C. Graham, who though lacking but three years of completing his century, exhibits a physical energy and activity and a vigor and keenness of intellect that are simply wonderful. He is still a ready and forcible writer and a fine conversationalist, evincing none of the garrulity of age but talking clearly and always to the point. He is a part of the history of Kentucky and his memory and reminiscences are rich in varied adventures. It is his proud boast that he is eight years older than the State of Kentucky, having been eight years old when the State was admitted to the Union, and that he slept with Daniel Boone when Louisville was a mud village. The old gentleman is the father-in law of the Hon. J. C. 8. Blackburn and attends the centennial by special invitation of the Governor and with his party. He will be in troduced to the assembled celebrants with a speech and will be no doubt one of the young est old boys participating. The great drawing attraction in the amuse ment line just now in Louisville is the brilliant extravaganza. “Cinderella,” engineered by Mrs. Benton, a lady from Boston, who has managed the performance of this children’s opera in all the Eastern cities. She came to this city and advertised for several hundred children, and all the dancing schools and pri vate academies for misses were turned out to her hands. She has been but a little over a month in drilling this mass of little performers, but she has succeeded in bringing them to a state of perfection. It is the nursery tale of Cinderella interspersed with the popular songs of the day, countless marches and evolutions by fairies, goblins, nymphs, etc,, beautiful dancing and exquisite tableaux. The child ren’s costumes are of the richest description, and it is quite a surprise to discover the amount of talent these little ones display. A feature of the performance is a minuet by a number of children from three to eight years of age, the voung misses in trained court dresses of stiff brocade with jewelled stomach ers and powdered hair dressed a Vantique, and the young gentlemen in queues, knee breeches and lace ruffles. They steped through the stately dance with the ease and grace of King Charles court ladies and gallants and make as dainty a picture as one can imag ine. It runs through the week to crowded houses. As it is the intention of Mrs. Benton to visit the principal Southern cities during the coming winter and produce the Children’s Op era, Savannah will doubtless have an opportu nity of witnessing the unique and beautiful spectacle. The Atlanta Exposition attracts the interest ed attention of all Louisville people, and we talk cotton with a spirit of inquiry new and wonderful. There will be a perceptible influx of Kentuckians into Dixie during the exhi bition, and there is no danger that tbe least of these will pass unobserved. He will exchange horse talk for cotton with compound interest, and do all he can to convince the multi tude that. Kentucky was created first, and the rest of the world was an after thought. As the Cincinnati Exposition closed with a deficit of fifteen thousand dollars, so perhaps will our own find itself in debt when accounts come to be squared. It would seem that industrial expositions are growing unfashionable, ours has depended largely for patronage this season upon strangers from a distance. Early in the spring the managers went on to Washington and secured President Garfield’s promise that he would come and formally open it for us, and we looked forward to a booming time—instead we had funeral weeds and lamen tation. A few years ago the managers, at their wits’ ends for something to make a crowd, an nounced that there would be a wedding on the closing night. A bridal temple with a lovely marriage bell in white flowers was erected on the lower floor, and. true to promise, a couple made their way through the dense throng, mounted the daia. and were married under the bell. Of course, it was a made-up match—the groom was a half-witted fellow whom the managers had picked up, and the bride a poor servant girl dazzled by the promise of a set of furni ture and a bridal outfit from the committee. The outcome of the novel marriage was a di vorce shortly afterward, and the enterprise drew down upon us the invidious comments of the press at large. In passing through the antiquarian's depart ment it strikes one that the antique relic busi ness is slightly overdone. True there are many curious articles that bear the stamp of hon esty, and there are many, very many, that might be appropriately marked “doubtful;” but when it comes to finding a wee mite of a box put together of birch bark, and find it la beled “probably a piece of Noah’s ark,” one feels it necessary to draw the line somewhere. Prof. Fontaine, principal of Holyoke Acade my, and a comparatively new resident of this city, exhibited at the Exposition two relics of great interest. One was a table, large and massive, with a surface of mottled marble de faced with wine stains, that is over two hun dred years old. It came over from England with an old colonial family; Washington and his Generals have gathered about it and spread their war maps upon it; toasts were drunk around it to the success of the young revolu tion, and it has taken a place in the family his tory of the most celebrated Virginia names. General Lee sataround'it with his companions when a boy, and it Anally made its way, at the dismemberment of tbe family possessing it, to Texas, whence it came into Prof. Fontaine’s possession. The other relic is an old time por trait of a famous Virginia beauty; during the late war the house of its owner was pillaged by the Federal troops, and the picture bears the marks of the sword thrusts that slashed it. Prof. Fontaine is a Virginian of the old school, and a son-in-law of Bev. Dr. Burrows, of the Broadway Baptist Church. Last winter he read a paper before the Southern Historical Society, clearly tracing from documents in his possession the lineal descent of General Lee from Robert Bruce. A paragraph has been going the rounds of the newspapers' to the effect that the body of General Zachary Taylor, after being moved three times, now reposes in the cemetery at Frankfort. The fact is, that the ex-President’s remains were once removed from Washington to the old Taylor farm, five miles from Louis ville, on the L. and F. Road, where they still rest. The grave lies quite near the railroad and is surrounded by a wall of masonry. General Tom Taylor, a nephew, keeps the key to the gate of the Inclosure, and is careful to keep it from falling into neglect. For many years it lay in full view behind a rail fence, very much overgrown with rank shrubbery. The question has been often agitated in refer ence to taking the remains to Frankfort and building a monument over them, but as yet it has resulted in no practical movement. Coyut DocoLta.

The Exodus to Yorktown-Onr For eign Guests—A Fair Partslenne- The Harvest of Shekela-The Greedy Coalition—Delicacy va. Common Senae. Washington, October 15.—The Senate will probably take a recess next Monday until the Thursday following. The members of the Senate are going down to Yorktown to spend two or three days; so Is President Arthur; so are the members of the Cabinet and many others. Yorktown is the word now. Every body Is going that way. We who are pretty near the place will go In large sections. The people from even the remoter parts of the Union are also going. Many of the latter are now in the city “doing the town” before they take up their way to the place where Cornwallis surrendered. The German and French guests of the nation—representa tives of the men who helped the United States to win her independence—are In the city. They have been “received” to the fullest extent that they could possibly desire. The citizens and the officials, commencing with President Arthur and running down, have been hospitali ty and all attention to those welcome foreign ers. They have been fed, been processioned and been fire-worked without thought of price. Washington has really surpassed itself—which, on most occasions,would not be saying much in doing honor to these men. They are all healthy looking. The German Von Steubens especially show there is the blood of good health in their veins. None of them are hand some men. The Marquis de Rochambeau and the Count de Grasse are what we call very ordinary looking men. There are a number of ladies with the French guests. One of them is about twenty years old. She is a brunette. To say that she is pretty would be saying nothing at all. She is a brunette with eyes that sparkle as only those of the perfect brunette type can. She is divine and nothing else. She is the bright star of the whole number of foreign visitors, and she carries herself with such style—there Is just that little touch of hauteur about her that adds greatly to her great beauty. She is a descendant of the De Grasse of Yorktown fame. I have somehow got off the track in talking about the refreshingly beautiful French lady. One re sult of Yorktown will be to render Washington very lively during the Centennial festivities. The Centennial at Philadelphia kept It crowded all the while. People who went to the Cen tennial came here to see Washington. That is the way the Yorktown visitors will do. Washington is right in the route there and back, and they think they might as well see the sights hers while the opportunity presents itself. The people do not object. Every one is to leave behind him more or less shekels. The city for the next two weeks will be livelier than it has been for a number of years at this season. THE ADJOURNMENT OP THE SENATE. The Senate will not be long in session after President Arthur and the Senators return from Yorktown. The President will then send in a few minor nominations and the names of most of the people who are to form his Cabi net. These names will be acted upon prompt ly, and the Senate will then adjourn. It is no ticed in connection with the Cabinet that tbe stalwart politicians here of the Conkling stripe are talking a good deal about there being no impropriety but every reason why Conkling should go into the Cabinet. This may mean something—and it may not. THk REPUBLICAN GRAB. The Republicans who, with indecent haste, grabbed the Presidency of the Senate by aid of Mahone and the grace of David Davis—alleged Independent—are laying plans to seize the whole outfit, as they say out West. They in tend to elect a Republican Secretary af tbe Senate and put in new clerks wherever there is a Democrat in any position under the Senate. They want to hog it all, and do not intend to stop until they have done so. A LITTLE INCIDENT. In sending out invitations to the representa tives of the foreign governments at the national capital to attend the York town celebration, Secretary Blaine very naturally omitted therefrom the Eng lish .'diplomats. They went to Secretary Blain and told him that they would like to go to Yorktown, and that all they wanted was the invitation. The Secretary told them that he would be happy to take them along and show them |every courtesy. He explained why he had not Invited them before. They said they knew that perfectly, but that they did not feel in *he least sore over Yorktown. He did this out of a feeling of delicacy in inviting men to participate in a jubilee over their owa defeat. The Secretary will take these diplomats down with him on a government steamer. The way in which the English rep resentatives have to-day acted must certainly be put down as admirable, though there is a little touch of the humorous in it. They wanted to participate in the jubilee. As one of them put it, they did not want such a little thing as the unfortunate part which Lord Cornwallis played at Yorktown to stand be - them and participation In the centennial festivities. These explanations, and the talk consequent thereafter, brought out a good deal of humor and good feeling. The whole thing is probably one of the best looking incidents of international friendship and courtesy that has ever occurred between the representatives of the two countries. Potomac. Progress of the Texas Pacific. The latest information from the west end of the Texas Pacific Railway is conveyed In the following special telegram to the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette: End of the Texas Pacific Rahway Track, October 10.—The road la now com plete and In operation at this point, which Is 145 miles east of El Paso and 492 miles west of Dallas, in the Lympha Mountains, 4,200 feet above the sea level and 4,200 feet higher than Dallas. About twenty miles of track laying Is the average every week, at which rate El Paso will be reached before January 1, 1883. The grading Is all com pleted except a few miles In Carlses Pass, which will be finished in three weeks. The bridges, one hundred and sixty in number, between San Rachel and Eagle Pass,are being put in as fast as the track approaches. Over one hundred trackmen are employed on sta tion houses and depots. Water tanks are put In every twenty miles, and where spring! like tbe Petrlter, San Rachel, Antelope and Eagle Springs are not found, wells are dug by steam machinery and abundance of water obtained. The track laying force is kept up to three hundred and fifty teams. Seven teen cars of iron and forty cars of ties per day are used. The telegraph wire is kept up with the end of the track. The weather is cold and a light frost fell. A meat con tractor, with a herd of over one hundred fat beeves, keeps right up to the front all the time. The Lympha Mountains, a spur of the Sandolega, are south of the track, and extend to the Rio Grande at tbe mouth of the Pecos river, and are covered with rich gramma grass. The hill tops are shadowed by buckeye, with cherry, oak, cedar, pine, cotton wood and walnut trees. The 6tone is volcanic rock, bat so far no coal or minerals have been found. There are no cattle on the raDge west of the Pecos except two hundred head owned by Hughes and Simpson, and they are confined to the banks of the Pecot. There is sufficient raDge west of there to feed all the cattle and sheep in the mountains, the antelope, black tail deer, cinnamon bear and Mexican Hod. No Indians have been met with along the line for two months past. On the Ist of January, 1882, through passenger trains will be put on between St. Louis and San Fran cisco, and all points in California and Ore gon. The Position of the President of the Senate. Baltimore Sun. Benator David Davis will perhaps be sur prised to find that the acquisition by him of the honor of the Presidency of the Senate under circumstances which render ed his own co-operation necessary thereto Is hardly considered by the press and country a laudable act, and it will scarcely be agreeable to him to find comparisons drawn between another Senator and him self, who, elected by Democrats, times his co-operation with the opposite party with occasions of profit. Unfortunately for tbe new incumbent his advancement could only be accomplished by displacing a gentle man for whose purity and statesmanlike abilities the entire country feels the highest admiration, and side by side with whom his position could scarcely be other than one of contrast. It is not that Mr. Davis is not a Republican, and not wholly a Democrat, nor that he clamls to be Inde pendent, bat his motive In accepting office from either party would, under the circum stances existing at the time, appear to be so open to question that it was, to say the least, indiscreet to acquiesce in his election to the Presidency. If the future be con sidered and the probability that at the first opportunity the Republicans will oast him from the place and put Id one of their own number, the indiscretion will become painfully apparent. It will be his distinction to preside over a body either faction of which ia hostile to or suspicious of him, and ready to depose him at any moment. All these considerations, how ever, have little practical importance of a political character. The thing most to be regretted is the establishment of the theory that the term of the President of tbe Senate Is subject to curtailment at the caprice of a temporary majority. The plottage of de signing men engaged in the game of Presi dent making canjiardly fail to be farthered some day by the precedent of Wednesday last.

Arrest. “Charles Stewart Parnell should have been arrested a year ago,” said Fannie Parnell, sister of the Irish agitator, to a re porter of the Philadelphia /Ve*s on Friday. Miss Parnell was In the best of humor. “What I mean,” said she, In explanation, “is that the English Government committed a blunder if they believed the Land League movement was of any moment, in not nip ping it In the bud, instead of waiting until It had bloomed into a wldespreading Aower. Not that I wish they had been far-seeing enough to do this—by no means. lam glad they have blundered, and I am glad for an other reason: My brother’s arrest must silence forever the absurd suspicion that existed in a few disloyal minds that be was in collusion with the British Government. Instead of checking the operations of the Land League, England ha 6 given it a fresh Impetus. Instead of bringing obloquy upon Charles Stewart Parnell she has popularized him more than ever. “What a mistake it was, to be 6Ure,” continued Miss Parnell, laughing. “The Idea of waiting until Ire land was permeated with the idea, from the Giant’s Causeway to Cape Clear, until the whole civilized world was familiar with Ireland’s protest,and Land League; became a familiar household word. How absurd. Had England taken this step a year ago, as I said before, or even after the passage of the coercion act, it would in all probability have put a serious damper upon the land League and its propagation if it did not kill It altogether. Now the opportunity has passed. From a puling infant the Lana League movement has grown to be a giant. The lopping oil of a finger cannot affect It. My brother's mission was so nearly ended that his ideas can be carried out perfectly.” Miss Parnell went on to say that she thought the result of the arrest would be the aboli tion of (rial by jury, and most likely the re arrest of John Dillon, that bright political diamond who has Btirred Irish blood into a knowledge of what Irish rights are. Jury trials are a dead-letter now. “How was the news of the arrest received by Mrs. Parnell, your mother *” was asked. “My mother worried over It somewhat,” was the reply, “because she looked at It as a personal grievance, while my first thought was of the probable effect on the country; and, having once settled that in my mind, I gave myself no more concern except as to my brother’s health. I fear he may suffer if he Is kept confined for any length of time. Looking at the matter in a public light,” said Miss Parnell, In conclusion, “I think that England has made a confession of fear, and that the cause will be benefited and the Irish people drawn more closely togeth er by my brother’s arrest.” The Humored Railroad Combination Contradicted. Atlanta Constitution of Sunday. The rumor of a consolidation between the Cole-Seney, Louisville and Nashville and Georgia Central systems created a great stir in Atlanta yesterday. The knowledge that such negotiations had been on foot, as stated In the Constitution , led to the belief that there was at least the possibility of truth in the rumor. It was felt that tbe stoppage of these two roads would be a very serious blow to Atlanta, and there were many very anxious men on the streets yesterday. Major McCracken, who is In charge of the Cole extension lines In Georgia, did not be lieve the story. Said he: “I have already paid out in actual cash over $550,000, and It would cost at least $2,500,- 000 if the work were stopped this Instant. This Is a pretty big sum of money for any corporation to pay out just to keep a road from being built. “My bills for this week amount to over SIOO,OOO, and I have just received a telegram from (General Thomas instructing me to draw as usual on our New York bank. I have just received notification of the receipt of eight hundred tons of steel rails at Ma con, making 2 900 tons already actually de livered to us. I have daily dispatches from General Thomas, all urging me to push the work forward as rapidly as possible. “Besides all this, eight gentlemen who will have charge of Important trusts In track laying, etc., have just reached Atlan ta thlsmornlng direct from General Thomas. He sent them south on last Wednesday night. If there had been anything in the wind he would certainly have not sent them. So that while I have no official denial of the rumor, not having asked for one, there are a hundred reasons for it not being so to one why it could te so.” “You say that It would Co6t $2,500,000 to stop the road right now?” “Yes; and for this simple reason: We have every foot of the line from Macon to Rome under contract, and of course must see the contractors out, even if we do not build.” “But,” continued Major McCracken, “I know there have been some negotiations between the Louisville and Nashville, and our company recently, and it is barely possible that something more than I have information about was done. I don’t think, however, it is prohable- I don’t attach enough import ance to the rumor to inquire if It Is true, because I know the meu who are backing me, and they sent me hereto build the road, and I am going to do It just as quick as I can, and don’t Intend to stop until they tell me, which will not be done until we have a continuous line from Chattanooga, Ten nessee, to Brunswick, Georgia, with easy grades, steel rails, and no sharp curves.” After this talk with Major McCracken, the Constitution thought It was not worth while to go Into the matter further, but for fear there might be something in It, an In quiry was telegraphed to the only men who could possibly know about It—Colonel E. W. Cole, Mr. George I. Seney and General Samuel Thomas. Colonel Cole’s answer came first from Memphis, stating that he had no informa tion about such a consolidation, and that he did not believe the report was true. General Samuel Thomas’ answer came next from Columbus, Ohio, and is as fol lows: “No truth In the report. Such a change is an absolute impossibility, no mat ter who might want to bring It about.” Soon after the receipt of General Thom as’ telegram we received the following In answer to our inquiries from Mr. Seney: "No truth whatever. “[SfgnedJ Georgs I. Seney.” The announced resolution of certain of the residents of Fort Davis “to believe in the innocence or Lieut. Flipper, what ever the verdict of the court martial may be, ” borders very closely on the do main of the burlesque. It assumes that that the officers of his regiment are capable of joining in a criminal con spiracy against him, and that there is not one honorable man among them. A presumption of innocence in behalf of Lieut. Flipper is proper and commenda ble, but a presumption of guilt on the part of all his brother officers is not so clearly reasonable or just. There are some suspicious circumstances connected with Lieut. Flipper’s case that his friends will have difficulty in explaining before the court martial. —Chicago Tri bune.
