AMONG THE MASTS AT DARIEN.
Glimpses Through the Town ana Har
bor.
Darien. May 19.—All’the mills are run
ning, and the continued coolness of the
weather w ill certainly prolong the timber
season. There are twenty-four vessels
left in iort. and nearly all the timber
firms were represented in the twelve clear
ances of the week—Clarke, Hunter,
Walker, Stewart. Schmidt and Hiltons.
The Inspectors on the public boom have
entered into a kind of compact by which
they can gain a few weeks rest during the
hot wearner—so many on ana so many otf
duty at a time, instead of the scramble for
rafts, that kept the whole force w aiting
all day for their luck.
On Friday Mr. Fuller, from St. Simon’s
Island, brought over a small party from
the island and Brunswick with him—he
having some business calls here, and de
lighting in these pleasant little hospitali
ties on such occasions, often invites
friends to accompany him. This time
they stayed only a few hours, but that
was long enough to further enliven the
enthusiasm over Darien's representation
at Brunswick, next week, for the success
of which everybody is at work-some of
the ladies extremely busy in getting up
a uniform forihe "Darien Fire C ompany”
that shall eclipse other “sons.” At a
practice by this company the other ufter
noon, the hose played a prank on its man
ager*—twisted itself out of their control

Some were tattooed beyond recognition.
The colored people are the onlv active
picnic-givers just now, the children of
St. Cyprian’s Episcopal Sunday school
opening the ball on Thursday last. An
excursion to Savannah on the 27th from
among the Baptists, w ith “Father” Miftin
as its manager, may be going to look after
that bell. Great has been their disui>-
pointment at its non-arrival; but then,
the mails don’t arrive in order, either, and
they are under the care of our mightv
Uncle.
We hear that colored excursionists from
Jacksonville propose to occupy our atten
tion. It may lie only attempted playful
ness, but if seriously intended, the hoax
will fall to their lot.' We are not bidding
for wholesale vaccination this year.
Since we have a resident physician at
the Ridge the sanitary needs of that
elysium will be kept before the public,
and its condition steadily improved. Dr.
Harris speaks to the point, and as a sum
mer home out there is very desirable, his
voice will lie heard and his counsel
heeded. Property is on the rise there.

very creditable show can be made with
our clubs, military and fire corps, wines,

housewife’s*work from neighboring towns
will fill in the small wants races and
tournaments, of course.

How an t'npopular Law Repaid it* Op
ponents.
Washington, May 21.—How true it is
that we not more than seven times out of
ten know what is for our good. Five years
ago—in 1878 —Congress passed the law
which established the present form of gov
ernment in the District of Columbia. As
so much trouble with contractors who do
the public work for the District had been
previously had, a clause corrective was
put in the law mentioned. It was that all
contractors doing public w ort should de
posit, lor the term of five years after tfce
contract was awarded, a sum equal to 10
per cent, of that contract with the United
states Treasurer, who was at the same
time made ex-officio Commissioner of the
District of Columbia sinking fund. This
money was to lie held a# a guarantee
that the work would be done and the
neeessarv repairs made. The contractors
kicked against this legal provision. They
tried to deleat it in Congress, hut they
failed. They deposited their 10 per cent,
under mental protest. James Giltillan
was then Treasurer of the United States.
He took the 10 i*ei et ; on contracts made
and invested it either iu 3-1)0 bonds of the
District of Columbia or 4 per cent, bonds
of the United States. At that time the
former class of bonds could lie bought
from 72 to 78 cents on the dollar, and
"v- . -111001 4 per cents, could be had at
par The result: There is this year
to be paid U) contractors who
deposited the original JO per cent.
siUtMtOO on their 10 per cent, with
held: but tU<;> will get their money—l
sneak aggregately—in bonds worth troin
$126,000 to $130,000. And in addition to
this they will secure possession pro fata
of district 3.05 bonds which are now sell*
in- at 1.10, and of 4 per cent, governments
v. bich are selling at 1.19. And then there
is to U- added to this the interest since
Giltillan maqo the original investment.
You will concede ifcat the contractors
•'widy kicked against their qwn interests.

EVANS SUCCEEDS RAUM.
the new COMMISSIONER a
STALWART TO THE CORE.
Postmaster General Gresham Instru
mental In Securing the Appointment
—A Decision which Elates South Caro
lina Claimants—Captain Eads’ Succes
sor Appointed.
Washington, May 21.—The President
this afternoon appointed Walter Evans,
of Louisville, Kv., Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, in place of Green B.
ltaum, resigned. Mr. Evans is a lawyer
ot some ability, and is well know n in
politics in his State. He was at one time
the law partner of Benjamin H. Bristow
in Hopkinsville, Ky., and was Mr. Bris
tow’s man at the convention in 1876. In
1880 he was a delegate to the Chicago
Convention, and was one of the BOG who
supported General Grant. In is7i
lie was a candidate for Governor
of his State on the Republican
ticket. He has not heretofore held office,
although he has had considerable in
fluence in the distribution of the Federal
patronage in Kentucky. He and Post
master General Gresham are warm per
sonal friends, and it is understood
that the latter was instrumental in
securing Mr. Evans appointment. The
new appointee quaiitied and was sworn
in to-day at Louisville, the occasion lor
hrt*te befit*, that the Mu thtv* for which
an Acting Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue could be appointed expired to-day,
ami it was necessary that the commission
should at once le filled.
The Court of Claims to-dav decided in
the case of Lawton, of South Carolina, vs.
the United States, that the government is
liable for the amount bid bv the Commis
sioner under the direct tax' laws at their
sales in excess of the tax penalty, in
terest and costs. This is one of several
test cases brought by Air. Earle, of Wash
ington, to obtain a construction of the
court upon the statute, and the decision
is regarded as of great importance to
claimants.

LAKE SCHOONERS WRECKED.
Michigan's Broad Water the Scene of
*>lany Disasters.
Chicago, May *2l.—A storm of extra
ordinary violence prevailed on Lake
Michigan last night, and a number
of sailing vessels bound for this port
were wrecked. The chief disaster thus
far reported is that ofthe schooner
Jennie Lynn, lumber laden, from Musco
gee. Her cables parted ami became un
manageable and she was capsized while
near land about 5 o'clock this morning.
Mate Exel Sample swam for the shore
and was rescued. John Anderson, Cap
tain L. Pelieson, A. Ilelogoser and
a man named Christiansen drowned. The
light on the outer government breakwater
was Mown out and two vessels ran on the
breakwater. One was washed complete
ly over it and sunk on the other side, and
the other was wrecked when first struck.
Only one life lost on these two vessels.
Milwal kkk, May 21.—Off this port last
night six of the crew of the schooner Petrel
deserted the Captain and taking a yaw l
boat attempted to reach shore, thinking
the schooner would founder. She did not,
however, and they had not gone but a
short distance when the yawl was cap
sized and three of the crew* were drowned.
The others clung to the bottom of the boat
and were saved. This morning the Cap
tain was picked up off the wreck by a tug.

SHOT IN A POST OFFICE,
Burgess Killed op (lie Spot Where One
of His Victims Bit the Dust.
Galveston, May 21.- A special from
Henritta. Tex., says: “C. M. Burgess,
who killed R-M. Donley last November,
was shot and killed yesterday by W. R.
Curtis, one of the largest stock owners in
Texas, at the post office during the de
livery of tfie mail. Burgess, it is stated,
shoved Curtis roughly aside. Hot words
passed, when Burgess tried to shoot, but
Curtis was quicker and shot Burgess,
who turned and staggered toward the
door, Curtis still tiring on him. Burgess
took only a tew steps and fell dead two
feet front where he had killed
Donley. Two men were accidentally
wounded, but it is thought not seriously.
Curtis at once surrendered to the authori
ties and requested an immediate trial.
He sent word from the jail to the wound
ed men that he would pay all their ex
penses for the time they lost, and if per
manently injured would fully provide for
them. Burgess intended to kill Curtis at
the lime of the shooting of Donley, and is
alleged to have threatened Curtis’ life on
seven*) occasions. Public sentiment is
with Curtis,” ,

proposing a change in the section touch
ing the eduoation of ministers. The mi
nority report advocating the change
Dr. I.ane, of Georgia, offered a substitute
referring the question back to the Pres
byters. The question was discussed. A
telegram was read from the delegates to
the Northern Assembly stating that they
had been enthusiastically received. The
Assembly then took a recess until 3
o’clock.
On reassembling at 3 o’clock the follow
ing telegram was read:
Saratoga, May 21.
'Jo the. General Assembly in session at
Lexini/ton, Ky.:
The following action was taken this
morning:
Jiesolved, That a committee of seven be
appointed by this Assembly to confer
with a similar committee, if'it shall meet
with the approval of the Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church South, now in
session in Lexington, in regard to any
plans of co-operation in any part of the
great work that the Master lias laid upon
hiij servants, and which it might appear
could be more effectually acconiplised hy
cordial and friendly eo-operation than by
separate and independent action, and
that these committees report the result of
their deliberations to their respective as
semblies in 1884.
Edwin Hatfield, Moderator.
Attest: \V. H. Roberts, Clerk.
The remainder ol* the afternoon session
was spent in discussing the proposed
change in the constitution touching the
education of ministers. Allan Wright, a
full-blooded Cherokee Indian, spoke
against any change.
KELLOGGS MISDEMEANOR.
A Long Argument Which Busied the
Star Route Lawyers Yesterday.
Washington, May 21.—1n the Crimi
nal Court to-day before the resumption of
the regular proceedings in the star route
trial. Nathaniel Wilson arose and. said
that he had been indirectly notified that
the government had required his client,
ex-Seuator Kellogg, to appear in court to
morrow to answer to a charge of misde
meanor against him. Mr. Kellogg was
now in New Orleans under bonds and
it was unjust to require his attendance
under such a notice, Mr, Merrick, who
represents the government in that case,
said that the Department of Justice re
garded it as desirable that the defendant
take some action, In view ot the issue he
had notified Charles Heed, who claimed to
lie Mr. Kellogg’s counsel, that his pre
sence would lie necessary on Wednesday
next, and had been informed that the ar
rangement was satisfactory. Mr. Wilson
said that he and no one else represented
Mr. Kellogg. His client would be pre
pared to answer at the next term of the
court. Mr. Merrick understood that the
defendant intended to make a special plea,
or the demurrer or plea that would
not require the action of the traverse
jury. ’ The court said that it would
dispose of such a plea in a short time,
meanwhile it would answer- the purpose
if Mi. Kellogg appeared on Monday, June
18th, the first day of the next term. It
was not probable tfiat tjie ease could
then lie tried owing to the precedence of
detective cases, in which the public was
deeply interested and which the District
Attorney was anxious to bring to irial.
Colonel Ingersoll then resumed his ad
dress.

FLOODS IN THE GULCHES.
FOUR CITIES IN DAKOTA WASH
ED AWAY.
Half of Dead wood and Fart of Central
City also Gone—ThoLossin Dead wood
Alone Over *7oo,ooo—Four Lives
Known to lie Lost—None of the Bodies
yet Recovered.
Bismarck, D. TANARUS„ May 21.—A special
dispatch to the Tribune gives the follow
ing details of a flood at Deedjvood: “Al
most every day for a month there has
been a fall of rain which las rendered the
roads impassable and thoroughly satu
rated the ground. A heavy fall of snow
followed, rapidly under a
heavy warm rain Of "Friday night and
Saturday. The gtllChoe or valleys in the
hills are from a \ few hundred feet
to probably a quarter of mile
wide. Dead wood is situated at the junc
tion of the AV'hitewood and Deadwood
gulches, and a dumber of other gulches
empties their accnumlating water from
the mountain into these main gulches,
making a volume of water that rushes
down white wood £uluh with resistless
force. Central Anchor City and
Golden Gate are in the Deadwood gulch,
above Deadwood city. The greater portion
of Central City was above the Hood, but
for Anchor City and Gold-n Gate there
was no escape, the gulch thqoi being not
over sbr hundred feet w ide. Bennington
is entirely gone, the valley is flooded and
half of Speak Fish is ' washed away.
Crook City is nearly all gone. The water
is now falling, though there is much snow
in the mountains yet. George Chandler
and wife and two unknown men are
known to have been drowned. Rope and
basket communication has been estab
lished between two parts of the city. The
main residential portion of Deadwood is
from 100 to 300 feet above the gulch and
the main business portion is also above the
danger line. The portion destroyed was
occupied by cheap tenement houses,
second-class hotels, laundries, small
traders, sporting houses, livery stables,
etc. Some of the buildings are built
over the stream which, at its ordinary
stage, is hut a few feet wide. This
locality is generally avoided, however,
its danger being recognized. When
the llood came timely warning was
given by means of the telephone
system which exists in the hills, and the
most valuable articles were removed by
the residents. So far but three bodies
have been recovered, but it is believed
now that the loss of life has been great.
When the flood came it swept everything
before it, excepting the most substantial
buildings. The losses in Deadwood will
reach |700,U00. Golden Gate, Anchor
City, Central City, South Beud and Crook
City are all heavy losers.
Several mills in Deadwood Guleh have
been destroyed, and the damage to the
mines by the floods cannot lie repaired tor
several weeks. All the roads are im
passable, and trains have been forced to
suspend oil the Hills Railroad. The
Methodist Church and public
school building at Deadwood
were destroyed, as was also Miller’s tire
proof warehouse, Istnond & Ayres’ hard
ware store, and the brewery. One hun
dred houses are known to have been
washed away, and five lives have been
lost. Spear Kish and Rapid creeks are in
broad valleys, the former being from two
to twelve miles wide. The flood was not
so destructive there, but did serious dam
age nevertheless.
UEItMANV AND THE VATICAN.
Publication of the Contents of Prussia's
Past Note.
Bkrlin, May 21.—The North German
Gazette says: “In Prussia’s last note to
the Vatican the government attaches
special value to giving notice of appoint
ments contemplated, because it regards
ouch notification as a question of honor and
primary condition of labor in common
between the spiritual and temporal au
thority. The government is prepared tojre
scind the competence in the ecclesiastical
court in regard to the notifying of prefer
ments; ana HPdlspwwe therewith alto
gether in case of unbeneticiaried clergy
men,and thus remedy the present inade
quate provision for the care of souls.
In conclusion the note alludes to
the peaceful attitude of Prus
sia, and expresses the conviction
that a settlement will be effected as soon
as the Curia has agreed to the matter of
notification, The note has created a sen
sation.
The Germania's correspondent at Home
maintains that the Vatican has replied to
Prussia’s note endeavoring to return to
the basis of negotiation which existed be
fore the note was sont. He adds that
Baron Von Schlosser, in view of the bad
impression created by the note, has al
ready suggested a fresh basis of negotia
tion.

IRELAND’S NEW LEAGUE.
The Executive Committee Issue* an Ad
dress to Erin’s Bon* Everywhere.
The Executive Council of the Irish Na
tional League of America met at Detroit
a day or two ago. and transacted much
important business. There were present
Mr. Patrick Egan, of Dublin; Mr. Alex
ander Sullivan, President of the League;
Rev. Dr. C. O'Reilly, Treasurer; lolin J.
Ilynes. Secretary; and W. B. Wallace, of
New York; Rev. Father McKenna, of
Massachusetts; M. V. Gannon, of lowa-
James Reynolds, of Connecticut, and J.G.
Donnelly of Wisconsin. The following
address was approved:
Irish National League oe America,!
President s Office, s V
, Chicago, May 14, 1883.)
Jo the Irish American Societies and all
friends of Ireland:
The convention of the Irish race which
assembled in Philadelphia has passed into
historv. The Land League having been
forcibly suppressed in Ireland, the Irish
people, still rising intellectually above the
force and tactics of their oppressors,
formed themselves into anew organiza
tion, the Irish National League, preserving
the aims of its predecessors, enlarging its
scope and gathering within its line the
entire population except the foreign gar
rison and its beneficiaries. The Land
League ot America, whose glorious, if
briet, career, shall bo forever remem
bered as a splendid testimony of the de
votion of a sub-divided race to its dis
tressed kindred,acceding to the desire of its
Irish exemplar, met in preliminary con
vention, audited its hooks, adjourned sine
die, and its delegates, together with those
of numerous other Irish-Ameriean socie
ties, aggregating more than twelve hun
dred, entered into convention for the
purpose of uniting all the elements
of the Irish race in America, the
more efficiently to aid their countrymen
at home. The prudence and wisdom
which characterized the deliberations of
the great body thus constituted, com
manded the respect of reflecting men.
Unreservedly accepting the platform ot
the Irish National League of Ire
land, ol which Charles Stewart Par-
nell is President, it solemnly organized
the Irish National League of America;
and Huts inaugurated the most com
pact, the most cohesive and the most
inspiring movement of the time of
the promotion of an object at once im
mune and political. That object is the
restoration ot self-government to a people
whose poverty, frequently descending to
famine and always on the verge of it, is
not due to the soil, but is the result of the
blind viciousness of a hostile foreign
power which, annually draining out the
naturally created capital, maintains
a system of terror and ’ law
lessness, ruinous of peace and a fatal
barrier in the way of industrial and
social development. The substitution by
legitimate means of national self-govern
ment lor this coercive and destructive
force is the chief aim of the Irish National
League. The direction of the movement
in America was unanimously entrusted,
by the convention, to a council consisting
of a President and Executive Council of
seven. This body is now formally organ
ized.
In compliance with the duties imposed
upon us, we request all Irish-Ameriean
benevolent, temperance, military, litera
ry, social, patriotic and musical societies,
represented in the convention or desirous
ol affiliating, with the Irish National
League of America, immediately to send to
the Secretary, Room 5, No. 81 Clark street,
Chicago, 111., their full name, with time
and place of meeting, the name and cor
rect post office address of their respective
Presidents and Secretaries, that they may
be supplied with the platform rules of or
ganization and literature to be issued in
the future, by means of which the closest
union between this country and Ireland
will be constantly maintained. Each so.
ciety will continue its special work un
der its own name; but as members of the
Irish National League of America, each
will be designated “Branch, No. - ”in
the order in which they comply with sec
tion XL of the plan of organization. We
request that all societies belonging to the
League and all intending to join it shall
meet singly or in groups on the evening of
Tuesday, June 5, for the purpose of rati
fying the proceedings of the convention;
and we suggest that, in addition to appro
priate addresses, the platform of the
Irish National League of Ireland and the
platform of the Irish National League of
America be read, We earnestly appeal
to men of our race, not members of so
cieties, conscientiously fo consider the
critical condition of their kindred in Ire
land at this time, The platform of the
Irish National League is one upon which
all reasonable metiol Irish blood can hon.
estly stand together. Its method is ono
by which all can work vigorously an I
efficiently together. Its object is ‘sanc
tioned by the highest morality, and the
experience ot mankind demonstrates that
it may be achieved by persistent, de
termined and united effort. The sympa
thy of our American countrymen we
earnestly invite for the just ciaints of a
country whose people in America and in
Ireland have been, from the earliest dawn
of the rebellion in the American colonies
to the latest hour of American indepen
dence, their staunch and stalwart allies.

The council directed that the Treasurer
remit to Alfred Webb, or to such other
Treasurer or Trustee as during his term
of office may be designated by the Irish
National League, tfle sum of 4)1,000 as
frequently as that sum shall be received
by him; providing, however, that smaller
sums shall be remitted if in the judgment
of Mr. Parnell any emergency arises re
quiring more frequent remittances.
To avoid confusion and unnecessary la
bor, the council so modified tl;e constitu
tion as to direct that all moneys be sent
by branches directly to Rev. Charles
O’Reilly, Treasurer, iletroit, Mich. It is
the duty of hfaueljes, however, to notify
the Secretary of each item paid to the

HOPE DASHED TO EARTH.
JACKSONVILI.E DISHEARTEN'ED
BY NEW SMALL-POX CASES.
The Scourge Principally Confined to
the Colored Population—More Talk
About Dull Time* —Expectant Excur
sionists Disappointed, and Other
Notes.
Jacksonville, May 21—It was the
opinion of the best informed a week ago
that your regular correspondent, “VV.
H. 8.,” would be on deck this week, and
again interest your numerous readers,
but it seems that such is not the case,
and that he is doomed to remain in exile
for some weeks yet to come, and continue
to care for those stricken with the loathe
some scourge. The happy anticipations
of our citizens a week- ago have been
changed materially. At that time it was
believed that the scourge of small-pox
was uuder control and about over, but
during the past eight days new ease*
have developed in and around the city,
generally among the negroes. The cool
nights have greatly aided its spread, aud
there are now reported to be a total of
nineteen cases in the city, pest house
and suburbs. About twenty of the first
victims are recovering, but a number"
have died since the disease first appeared.
The warm weather is thought to be the
best means of checking the disease, and
the promise of a supply of that is very
good just now. The greatest difficulty is
to break un the filthv disease among the
negroes. They cannot be kept in bounds,
and their love of visiting each other seems
to lie as strong now as it ever was, and if
one is sick they think it necessary to call
and see what’s the matter. None of those
having the disease are even willing to
sacrifice any article of wearing apparel
or bed clothing after recovering and hav
ing other articles supplied in place of
those destroyed. No doubt the disease
has often been contracted from a ten cent
pocket handkerchief or other personal ar
ticles of small value.
Two cases have been tfaced directly to
dogs, whom the owners allowed to go'anil
come when they pleased. The authori
ties are hard at work and it is earnestly
hoped, with the aid of warm weather, our
fair city shall soon be delivered from the
pestilence.
Dull times are here again, as usual, at
this season of the year, and the streets
give unmistakable evidence of the de
parture of people therefrom. Hundreds
ot these are at work on the new railroads
in East Florida. Of course the majority of
those who have left are negroes; the
whites only .go when actually necessary
for health or business. Those who
wish can get employment notv
om these new railroads, but .here
are a goodly number here who prefer to
stand on the streets and pass their time
in idleness, nevertheless they are often
out of food, and living with them is hard
at best. The railroads pay $125 per day
to laborers, and want all thev can get, but
this is not enough for the lazy, indolent
ones left in the city. They demand $1 50.
If they own a hatchet, a saw and jack
plane they must have $2 per day, and
would willingly contract to erect
$20,000 buildings, although not
having the intelligence necessary to read
the figures on an iron square. It is an in
sult to ask them to shovel dirt, but they
would readily undertake the work of build
ing bridges and trestling. Jack-leg carpen
ters and other mechanics are thick in this
city, and many ol them are the worst of
dead-beats, and stand ready “to take in”
a stranger.
Buildings are still going up in the city,
and the saw-mills are busy supplying the
lumber, and neither saw-mill men nor
contractors seem to apprehend any seri
ous drawback from small-pox. In fact
there is little fear of the disease among the
more intelligent people. The mills and
the erection of buildings, as well as rail
roads near the city, furnish employment
to many and supply thousands with daily
bread. It-also prevents the “bottom fall
ing out” of all clasacs of tmsin.'se, and
gives a iiic-iitrp appearance to the me
tropolis of the State in the dull season.
After many months of work the little
road between Jacksonville and St. Augus
tine is completed, and regular daily trains
are now run on it. An excursion was
advertised over the new road yestesday,
but the Board of Health sat square down
on it, and the average citizen was dis
appointed, Many have inquired what is
to support tfle road, but as
yet none have satisfactorily an
swered the inquiry. The road
is short and passes through a poor sec
tion. The timber along the line is not to
be found in large quantities, nor of extra
size. It will probably carry all the
freight for the merchants and' others of
St. Augustine, but much cannot be ex
pected to come from St. Augustine to
Jacksonville. In the winter a good pas- 1
senger business* may lie counted upon. as
people can go and return the same
day, spending a few hotlrs in the Ancient
City. But this will not prove beneficial to
the hotels of St. Augustine. Ipiring the
heated term a number of our business
men propose to move their families over
to thO Ancient City, and have the train so
run as to allow them to go over late in the
afternoon, spending the night with their
families, and return early tfle following
morning. Some wiseacres say they can’t
see business enough ahead to make the
road pay, but it does seem as
if, after surmounting the many difficul
ties in building it, the management should
possess business tact sufficient to make
self-sustaining. Centuries J-.avc passed
since the founding of this ancient town,
and, us strange as it may seem, neverthe- I
less it is a fact, that last week witnessed i
the approach of the first steam locoino- |
tive into its limits. Ris sincerely hoped •

Heueral Gorddn's denial of the report,
circulated here by designing men, that he
had failed in his railroad undertaking, has
again strengthened his cause and given
renewed confidence in the International
Railroad enterprise. The report was first
received with alarm and regret, and many
lost hope for the time being, but the

many troubled souls. Every true South

want to see him succeed in Florida as

JUDGE TH ÜBMAN INTERVIEWED
He Favors Ward for Governor—A Demo
cratic Victory in Ohio Predicted.
Columbus (O.) Special to the Baltimore Sun.
Hon. A. G. Thurman will not present
the name of Dursin Ward for Governor to
the Democratic Convention, as had been
reported to be his intention. He has had
abundant occupation during the past six
weeks at coddling a broken arm, and he
will not get rid of his sling for at least as
much longer, so his surgeon advises hitu.
“L haven’t given any attention to poli
tics,” he says, “for two months.
I am for Air. Ward for Governor.
I don’t hesitate to say that.
1 think he deserves the nomination.
He has rendered the party loyal service,
and it ought to be recognized. 1 have
nothing to say against the other gentle
men who are in the field for the nomi
nation, but I prefer 3lr. Ward. He has
always been ready to sacrifice his own
interests and comfort for the party. * He
lias run for Congress for the sake of hav
ing someone in the field in a district
hopelessly Republican, knowing that he
hadn’t a chance of election, and whenever
party service of any kind was called for
lie lias ever been ungrudging with his
brain and voice. But I don’t
know that 1 can do anything
tor Him beyond expressing my prefer
ence among party friends. I Rave no
idea ongoing Into the convention, or of tak
ing part in the campaign. Stories that
such has been iny intention are simply I
baseless. lam interested very much iii J
Democratic success and believe we shall [
be successful, but I don’t know that I can
contribute by personal labor to that end.
In my present physical condition I ought
to lie quiet, and expect to be. I don’t even
do much in my practice outside of the of
fice, except occasionally to argue a case
in the higher courts.
“What of the decision rendered by you

to pass a law to prevent giving poison to
a child or a dagger to a madman ?”
“I don't understand just what applica
tion they are making of it. The opinion
is good law. There is nothing in it that
the Democrats need shrink from. Let the
Republicans quote the whole opinion. It
is easy enough to take part of what anv
man says and torture a false construction
out of it. 1 said that the Legislature
might regulate but could not prohibit the
traffic, and in saying that I merely para
phrased the constitution. The Republi
can Legislature now proposes constitu
tional amendments, one fo rest in the
Legislature absolute control of the sub
ject, that is, to authorize them to enforce
prohibition, and the other for prohibition
outfight. I believe both will be defeated.”
“Do you think the Supreme Court wilt
sustain the Scott law?”

in collecting the tax or punishing viola

“There, is no question about it. We

of the Legislature. I haven’t heard

that it will be about as usual, with a
strong protest against sumptuary legis

In Brooks the “all cotton” system is a
thing of the past, and we doubt if there is
a county in the State so prosperous, or
whose future is so promising. Our Con

A report from the committee on lull of

cations; Ihe clause, \Yit!i b'ocrtv to call

be at ship's expense,” shall have the'con
cluding sentence omitted. “Except that
if the cargo is necessarily landed iu light
