A correspondent of the New \ ork

the disiike of the farmers in the northern
part of the State. According to the same
politicians the “old ticket” is quite pop

It was pretty well understood that the
Republican papers would make Judge
Hoadly out to be the worst man in the State

they would charge him with being any

It seems, however, that they propose to
stop at nothing. They now declare that
he is a tool of the Standard Oil Company.
Of course, after such a charge as that, it
is to be expected that he will immediately
withdraw from the canvass.

Relieved Cabinet Officers.
"Thank God, the greatest worry of my
official life will soon be over,” said Secre
tary Teller last Friday night. The Secre
tary was looking forward to the coming
Monday, when the civil service act would
go into effect. It seems that last Friday
there were two vacancies in the Interior
Department, and there were at least fifty
applications by telegraph, by letter and
by personal solicitation for them. No
wonder Mr. Teller expressed relief at the
near approach of the time when
he would no longer be
worried and annoyed by the place hunt
ers and their friends. No doubt all the
other Cabinet officers experience the
same feelings of relief that Mr. Teller
does. At least half their time was taken
up listening to appeals of men and wo
men, or their friends in their behalf, for a
position of some kind. These applicants
would not take no for an answer. In
fact, a good many of them could not af
ford to take a denial of their petition.
Their fortunes were at such a low ebb that
the future was full of horrors to them.
The saw themselves tramps and beggars.
They knew not where to turn to earn a
meal or to get a night’s lodging. Starva
tion stared them in the face, and made
them desperate. This was not the case
w ith all, ot course, and. perhaps, not with
a majority. It was the exact condition,
however, of hundreds. Not only the
hungry ones, but nearly all who sought
places pressed their claims upon the
beads of the departments, either per
sonally or through influential members of
Congress, with a persistency and deter
mination witnessed nowhere else in the
world. It did no good to tell them that
there wen* no vacancies. They wanted
somebody turned out to make room for
them. They were extremely selfish. Their
own necessities hardened them. As in
eases of extreme danger, when a panic
ensues, the strong crush and trample the
weak without a pang of remorse, so in the
struggle lor government places those who
had powerful friends pushed out of their
positions those who hail no influence to
support them. The Secretaries of the de
partments are glad the great struggle for
places is ended. They will now have
more time to devote to their legitimate
duties. Men and women who have
heretofore looked towards Washington
as a place to earn enough to keep body
and soul together when misfortune has
overtaken them, will now seek other ave
nues to gain a living. The cheap board
ing houses of the national capital will no
longer lie filled with weary and anxious
seekers of government positions. The
Cabinet officers w ill not minil the loss of
patronage. They never enjoyed much of
it because the Senators and Representa
tives claimed it all. What little they did
have did not pay them for the annoyance
they endured. Congressmen will growl
a little, at first. perhaps,
when they find they can’t
provide for their friends, hut they will soon
become used to the new order of things.
It is jtossible that they may eventually
appreciate the change, because they can
not now make an enemy of one constitu
ent bv recommending another for an
office.
The civil service aet has begun its ex
perimental period. It has lieen discussed
from every standpoint, and opinions have
been freely expressed and predictions
made with regard to it. Whether it will be
a success or not is a question that cannot
lie determined now. It is probable its fate
will lie known by the time the next ad
ministration takes control of the govern
ment.
The Si hi i ii anil the Presidency.
The war, or the rebellion, as our North
ern conteuqioraries prefer to style the
“late unpleasantness,” ended eighteen
years ago. The reconstruction epoch
closed nearly a decade ago, the “Southern
question” no longer occupies the public
mind, the social life of the South has re
sumed its normal condition, and the devo
tion of the Southern people to the welfare
of the Republic cannot be questioned.
The South casts 153 votes in the elec
toral college, and her white citi
zens make up a large portion
of the Democratic party. Yet, among all
her statesmen not one ventures to express
an aspiration to the Chief Magistracy of
the Republic, Not that they are not am
bitious, not that they are not in every
way qualified to discharge the high func
tions of the office, but merely because a
lingering prejudice that should have been
buried long ago is traded upon for the
aggrandizement of certain politicians
who have been given the rewards at the
bestowal of the Democracy while as
worthy, if not worthier Democrats have
been compelled to content themselves
with minor positions of public trust.
The explanation for this is not hard to
find. The Democratic party has been
ruled by a minority. Many of its ablest
statesmen are practically proscribed.
True they may aspire to stations within
the gift of local constituencies, hut the
Presidency is beyond their reach. Next
year the people will enter upon another
great naiicflal contest. What should lie
the attitude of the Southern Democracy
prior to the struggle? Snould the foremost
men of the South keep in the background
and allow the wonted programme to be
re-enacted in the national convention? Is
there not one Southerner of eminence
that the people af the United states will
trust with the Presidency ?
How much longer is the test of South
ern loyalty to be continued? If a Demo
cratic House of Representatives, made up
largely of Representatives of this section,
can lie trusted with the control of legisla
tion, why cannot a Brown, a Lamar, a
Tucker or a Carlisle lie trusted with the
approval of Federal legisla
tion? Wo do not claim the Dem
ocratic nomination (or the Pres
idency for a Southern Democrat, but we
maintain that the time has come when
such a Democrat may aspire to the Chief
Magistracy and have his claims passed
upon by the great council of the Demo
cratic party. Jf statesmanship were to
decide the choice of tho party, that choice
might fall on one of the many able repre
sentative* of the South, but if “availabil
ity” should tie made the test, the lot
might fall to another,
“Evans and his man Horton’-' is the
way good Republican papers speak of the
successor of General ttaurn. Mr. Evans,
when he accepted the office of Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue, and got fairly
fixed in his place, intimated that he
intended to run his office to suit himself,
and ir the President didn't like it he
might call for his resignation. lie also
declared that he didn’t care what the
newspapers said. It would he interest
ing to know if Mr. Evans is in the samu
frame of mind be was a month
or so ago. The newspapers have given
him a pretty tnorough shaking up, and
have, perhaps, taken some of the conceit
out of him. lie certainly Isn't so rash in
this talk as he was when he first took
'office. It wouldn’t be pleasant for him to
go back to Kentucky as a private citizen
after going to Washington with such a
flourish of trumpets, and yet it is hinted
pretty broadly that, instead ot the Horton
ease, Mr. Evans himself is the embarrass
ment of the administration. The situation
is that Mr. Evans must change his tactics
or resign.
Judge Freedman’s decision that money
left in trust tor the procuring of masses
for the soul of a Mrs. Gilman could not
bo used for such a purpo’se, is provoking
much discussion. The basis for the
court’s decision is that tuß beneficiary of
the trust is dead and therefore no trust
could lawfully be created. The Supremo
Court of Pennsylvania has ruled to the
contrary, and an appeal from Judge
Freedman’s decision will probably be
taken, the issue of which will be awaited
with interest.
The people of Effingham county, it is re

nothing like faith in such matters. If the
people have sufficient faith they will get
the rain. Those who have the kind ot
faith required will take their umbrellas

The surplus is a irreat fact, and so far
as it exceeds the requirements of the sink

and the distiller, Is the cohesive power of
public plunder. This is the key note of
their harmony, and it is well that it should
be so. because here a real issue is raised,
and on this platform the Republican party
finds itsell antagonized and opposed by a
united Democracy, determined to put an
end to public plunder, fixed in the pur
pose of putting the plunderers out and
putting honest men in.

QUEER SCANDAL CASE.
A Family iu Fort Gaiues Receive Over
1,000 Anonymous Letters.
Macon, Get., Special tnX. Y. Timet, lith.
Fort Gaines is in the midst of a social
sensation. Mrs. E. Hill, her daughter,
Miss Benlay, and an old maid sister. Miss
Indler Brooks, compose one family, mov
ing in the best circles. Mr. W. M. Speight,
one of the best known business men of
Southwest Georgia, is an intimate
friend of the family, and has a
latch-key. One night" six years ago
the ladies saw a man peeping through
a window at them, but he disappeared
too quickly for recognition. His tracks
corresponded with Speight’s. The second
night afterward a missile struck
the door. On picking it up a
letter was found attached warn
ing Mrs. Hill that her daughter, Miss
Benlay, was in the habit of meeting young
men. From that day to this these letters
have continued, over 1,000 having been
written, all ot the most obscene character
and always coupling Speight’s name with
that of Miss Benlay.
Mrs. Hill appealed to Speight for direc
tions what to do. He always insisted on
her keeping the matter secret. Its publi
cation, he said, would ruin her, and her
daughter should not marry nor keep com
pany with other young men. From time
to time he would, in conversation with
Mrs. Hill, throw suspicion upon leading
young men of the city, until at last there
was scarcely one who was not brought
under suspicion. Whenever Speight visited
the house a letter followed the next day
detailing the conversation, which Speight
would clear away by saying young
men must have listened under the house
to his talk. Thus the women were gradu
ally shut out from all other society, and
confined to that of Speight alone. Miss
Benlay made several visits to distant
parts of the State, and wherever she went
letters followed her. She once visited Co
lumbia, at the house of J. T. Walker, and
was no sooner there than an anonymous
letter was received by Dick Walker, con
taining aspersions on her character.
At last the young men of Fort Gaines
came to the conclusion that something
had to lie done to set this scandal at rest,
and a committee, consi-ting of L. L.
Sutlive, N. 11. McLendon, W. A. McAllis
ter, J. B. L. Allen, J. It. McLendon, A.
W. Heuer, G. S. Sutlive and J. W. Sut
live, began an investigation. They soon
spotted Speight as the guilty party, and
summoned him before them. Their re
port was that Speight was the guilty
person. He then called for a legal investi
gation, when arbitration was agreed upon,
the arbitrators to he parties outside of
the city. The arbitrators chosen
were James N. Bigbee, R. M. Brown, J.
E. Paulin, C. It. Narremore, and W. M.
Tumlin, who heard evidence under oath.
As Speight’s connection with tiie affair
could only ho proved circumstantially,
the arbitrators found him not guilty, ex
cept in one instance, which lie acknowl
edged, and for which they censured him.
The arbitrators also found that the Hill
family was of the highest character and
worthy of the deepest sympathy. The
Fort Gaines Tribune is hot against Speight,
as are most of the people. Speight is Su
perintendent of a Sunday school. The
end is not yet.
GEN. CROOK’S CAMPAIGN.
What State Senator Gibbs, of Texas, Saw
and Heard Concerning It.
Dallas (Texas) Special Xew York Sun, 14/A.
State Senator Barnett Gibbs, of Dallas,
returned last night from an extended trijv
to Mexico. In an interview in the Daily
Times he says that he was surprised at
what he saw and heard concerning the
late Indian campaign in the Southwest.
He went into the valleys and country
which were lately overrun by the
Apaches, and visited the scenes of Gen.
Crook’s late exploits. He says that the
residents of those valleys laugh at the
newspaper accounts of the captures made
by General Crooiw The say that instead
of Crook captuiVg the fighting Indians
they captured him. He did take in a few
old Indians and squaws, and started out
of the mountains. The bucks,, about
eighty in number, followed and overtook
him, and sent in a messenger who asked
for a powwow. This was granted, and
the warriors came in, and in the boldest
manner told General Crook that he
would be allowed to leave on condi
tion that he. would promise to get
the government to permit them to
return to the reservation without
punishment. This he promised because
he could not help himself. The residents
of the valleys say that the White Moun
tain Apaches, who were guides with Gen.
Crook, during the powwow divided am
munition with hostiles. The latter told
Gen. Crook that some of their men were
without horses, and that as soon as they
could go down into the Mexican settle
ments and get their horses they would
follow him into the reservation. They did
this,killingseveral Mexicans on their way.
The valley folks say that the White Moun
tain Apaches were openly in communica
tion with the hostiles and would never
fight them. As an illustration of the
friendliness between the two, one of the
White Mountain Apaches appeared
among the soldiers with the watch of
Judge MeConias, who had been killed by
the hostiles. Being interrogated as to
where he obtained the watch, he said he
got it from a squaw. The son of the Judge
had to pay SSO for the watch. Crook, not
daring to’ disturb the friendly relations
with the White Mountain Apaches by
making him give it up. Senator Gibb’s
says this is only a sample of volumes of
unwritten history of the late campaign
that could be furnished, and that the pub
lic have been imposed upon.

The editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
Col. E. P. Howell, recently made a very
happy speech in Des Moines, in which he
said’ that during his trip through the
Hawkeye State he had met some’of the
cleverest men and handsomest women he
had ever seen. The Colonel observed that
there is a large number of Republicans iu
lowa and a large number of Democrats
jn Georgia. If the Republicans of lowa
would swap their corn for the cotton of
the Democrats, and the Georgia boys
would raqrry with the lowa girls, the
result would ho such a cementing to
gether of the two sections that no power
on earth could ever again make a suc
cessful effort to separate the two States.
The Colonel spoke more wisely than he
knew. lowa has corn to spare, though
about making an even exchange of lowa
girls for Georgia boys there might he
some difference of opinion ill view of the
fact that this State now has 71,657 more
boys than girls. Georgia has 16,218 more
girls than boys. It is a fact worth noting
that at the time the last national census
was taken the two States of the Union
nearest alike in papulation were lowa
and Georgia, the former with a popula
tion of 1,624,615 and the latter with 1,542,*

His Shirt-Studs Wrong.
Philadelphia Record.
It is a good thing when “the first gen
tleman in the land” is a gentleman.
There is no doubt about President Ar
thur’s right to this title. He satisfies the
most exacting. 1 was particularly struck
with his charming manner and perfect
courtesy at the wedding of General
Drum’s daughter Wednesday night. In
the first place, the fiowers he sent were
exquisite and evidenced a careful se
lection, Then he himself wore a daisy,
the flower of the bride, whose name was
Margaret, in Uis buttonhole. What he
did throughout the evening was the proper
thing to do, and he said nothing but what
was appropriate—all this without being
conventional, And his patient, polite,
gentle, mauly way under tho trying cir
cumstances always surrounding a lion
was very graceful and restful amid so
much fussiness. By the way, I observed
that the President still wore the three flat
gold studs in his shirt front, although the
fashionable society men are wearing
either one or four studs. But the old
fashioned courtesy covered his old-fash
ioned studs,
LINCOLN ON M'CLELLAN.
A Reminiscence Related toy Ex-Gov -
ernor Austin Blair of Michigan.
Detroit (Jfi'cA.) Dree Press.
In a recent address at Bellevue, Michi
gan, ex-Governor Austin Blair gave an
account of the convention of Governors
* of Northern States that met at Altoona,
; Pennsylvania, at the time of the issuing
]of the’ emancipation proclamation by
, President Lincoln, in 1862. The conven
tion was called to bring an influence to
!>ear upon President Lincoln to induce
j him to issue a proclamation or do
some act that should set at liberty
the 4.000.000 slaves: but the President
i outwitted the 22 Governors by issuing
; the proclamation the same day their con
vention met. The Governors then de
! cided to go on to Washington and present
I to the President, not the urgent resolu-
I tions they had intended, but an address
I complimenting him upon the step he had
j taken. This address was prepared in an
able manner by Governor Andrew, of
. Massachusetts, who read it to President
Lincoln as he sat at his desk, while the
Governors were seated around the room.
After that an incident happened that Gov.
Blair said he had never related to any one.
Gov. Kirkwood, of lowa, since a L nited
States Senator and Secretary of the In
terior, rose and said:
“Mr. President—l should be delighted
could I return to my home and say to the
people of lowa that the President of the
United States believes General George B.
McClellan is a loyal man.” He branched
off upon other subjects connected with
the war, and then closed by repeating
with more emphasis: “I shouldibe glad,
Mr. President, to be able to tell the people
of lowa that you believe in the loyalty
and patriotism of George B. McClellan.’'
Taking his feet down from the desk
uj>on which they had been resting, Mr.
Lincoln sprang to his feet and straight
ened up apparently two inches taller than
usual, and said, with much force and ap
parent excitability: “Loyal! George B.
McClellan is as loyal as any one of you.”
Then stopping a moment the President’s
face assumed its naturally pleasant look,
and he continued in a natural and pleasing
tone: “I’ll tell you, gentlemen, General
McClellan is an exceedingly well informed
General, and is very careful— m fact, too
careful —and the great trouble with him
is that when he wins a victory he doesn’t
know what to do with it.”
“Why not try somebody else?” mildly
suggested Governor Blair.
“We might do that and might lose an
army by it,” was the quick response of
the President, which Governor Blair ad
mitted “completely unhorsed him.”
Journalistic Blackmailing.
Rochester Union .
An extraordinary development has re
cently been made in Berlin. A trial in
that city disclosed the fact that a pleas
ing assortment of soi disant journalism,
including a college man, a Socialist, a
doctor of laws, an aristocrat, and others,
had endeavored to build up the falling
fortunes of their journal by the most in
famous system of ’ blackmail
ing ever invented by human in
genuity or rascality. Having in
stituted a regular code of espionage
into private and business affairs, the
modus operandi was to demand money or
reputation. Large sums rewarded this
infamous traffic, and had it not been hap
pily discovered in time they would un
doubtedly have become rich. Blackmail
is an extremely old crime. It was an im
post formerly" submitted to in parts
of Scotland and the north of
England as a compromise with rob
bers. A class of men, often belonging
to families in good standing, levied a tax
upon their neighbors on the pretext of j
protecting them from cattle thieves, j
The celebrated Rob Roy was one of i
these blackmailers. In modern usage. :
blackmail signifies money extorting
from a person by threats of" accusation
or exposure in the public prints, j
Those who practice this extortion are said i
to “levy blackmail,” Referring to |
the Berlin blackmailers, the New York j
Commercial Advertiser justly remarks
that “it is somewhat comforting to think
that however common such a crime may
be in this and other large cities in the
United States the profession of journal
ism is comparatively if not wholly free
from its degrading and demoralizing in
fluence.” In ingenuity also the German
blackmailers above described would ap
pear to bo able to give the American
specimen many points and then beat him
at the game.
First Indian Graduate of Roanoke (Va.)
College.
Collegian for July.
“That, the Christian faith may be propa
gated amongst the Western Indians to the
glory of Almighty God,” was one of the
reasons assigned in the royal charter for
founding William and Mary College.
There is no record; however, to show that
an Indian ever received a degree from that
famous institution. Although Roanoke
College has been attended by Choctaw s
for thirteen years, Mr. William Harrison
McKinney is the first one to complete the
course and receive a degree, Bachelor
of Arts, He has the distinction of being
tfio first Indian, of full blood, to gradu
ate at a Virginia college. Mr. Mc-
Kinney's < hoetaw speech, so well deliv
ered in his native tongue and then in En
glish, on commencement day, was a fea
ture of special interest. It was received
with so much applause that Mr. Charles ;
Dudley Warner in presenting the English ;
Prize Scholarship, remarked that “Choc- j
taw must be the favorite language in Sa- i
lem.” This demonstration of approval
showed the good-will and sympathy of the j
many friends made by Mr. McKinney j
during bis stay of five years at tbe 00l- j
lege. His standing in scholarship here
leads us to expect that he will succeed j
well in his theological studies prepara- :
toryto entering the Presbyterian Minis
try. Now only twenty-three, he has the \
promise of a long and useful life among j
his people in the Indian Territory.”
Editors In Japan.
The press regulations recently issued j
by the Japanese Government are causing i
much dissatisfaction. The proprietor, di
rector, editor, printer, writer and trans
lator of a newspaper are all to be consid- j
ered equally culpable in respect of an j
offense. Again, if one of several papers j
published by the same company or indi- j
vidual be suppressed or suspended, all |
the others are similarly treated. All per- I
sons connected in‘a responsible position j
with a prohibited journal are debarred
for two years from having anything I
to do with the public press! Ed- j
itors are compelled, under heavy !
lines, to keep original manuscripts, (or
three weeks for the inspection of the po
lice, and are required to state tbe source
from which an item of news is obtained.
The Ministers of War, the Navy, and For
eign Affairs may, at their discretion, issue i
a general order directing editors to ab- j
stain from discussing, under any cireum- J
stances, the affairs of the departments. I
Subsidizing journals and other insidious
methods of tampering with the press j
having failed, this measure has been de- 1
vised to stamp out the free expression of j
public opinion,

There is more strength in a bottle of
