The project of a government telegraph
line seems to lie favorably received in all

long while before definite action is taken.
lion. I*. V. Deuster, M. C. lor the

Secretary Lincoln is being praised for
his firmness in refusing to reinstate the
West Point cadet who was dismissed for

Presidential bee buzzing in his hat. If
Mr. Lincoln's friends wish to do him a

out of the newspapers. He is young yet
and may mistake the meaning ol a few
kind words.
It seems there are grave doubts w hether
the Senators who are investigating the
telegraphers' strike, were appointed by
the Senate to investigate the causes of
labor tronbles. The New York World
says the impression prevails that the Sen
ators who are having such a good time at
Coney Island and other resorts in the
vicinity of Sew York, getting ready
to solve the great problems which an
tagonize labor and capital, are proxies.
This, no doubt, is a shameless libel on the
committee.
There is more money to invest now

Frank M. Smith, of Toledo, Ohio, who is
on his way to AndersonviHe to decorate
the graves of Union soldiers with national
flags, was at Macon yesterday, lie ex
pects to be at Andersonville on Sunday
and hold religious services there on that
day. It will take 13,716 flags to place one
on each of the graves. Fourteen thousand
have been expressed to Andersonville.
Those remaining after decorating the
graves will lie used in decorating a
memorial mound in memory of 24,2*4
other Union soldiers who are buried in
cemeteries near the Southern prisons.
Major Henry Kyd Douglas, who was a
member of the staff of Stonewall Jackson,
has written a letter to the Baltimore Sun
earnestly urging the erection of a monu
ment over the grave of the great soldier.
Through the efforts of the Right Hon. Bc
resford Hope and other English admirers
of the great Southerner, a memorial
statue was ereeted m Richmond some
years ago. Lee and Jackson sleep their
last sleep in the shades of Lexington.
Valentine’s recumbent figure of the for
mer was unveiled in the Lee Mausoleum
in June last. It is eminently proper that
“Stonewall” should be likewise perpet
uated for the contemplation of future gen
erations .
Trouble seems to be brewing between
the stalwarts and half-breeds in New
York. The half-breeds have au Idea that
Arthur is looking towards a second term,
and that his friends are trying to fix the
primaries so as to secure the New York
delegation for him. They are, therefore,
beginning to show signs of dissatisfaction.
The New York Times, for instance, says:
“The effort at reorganization lately made
was a failure from the start, and it will
be a failure to the end. It was in the
hands of the old machine managers, and
the pretense of putting the party organi
zation on a proper basis was a sham, as
the final action of the committee of eigh
teen shows.”
This indicates the temper that is be
ginning to show itself. Everything is not
lovely in the Republican camp by any
means. The old feuds are likely to break
out at any time.
Dorsey’s Charges.
The article published by the New York
Sun a few days ago, giving tne inside
facts of the Republican campaign of 1880,
attracted such wide attention and called
out so many denials, that the Sun sent a
member of its staff to New Mexico to
interview Dorsey, who is living on his
ranch in that territory. The interview
appeared in Thursday’s Sun. Dorsey
not only reiterates and strengthens with
additional facts what had already been
published, but he also makes statements
that have not heretofore appeared in print.
No one who reads the interview can
for a moment doubt that Dorsey speaks
the truth. He gives names, dates and cir
cumstances, and tells a story that har
monizes so well with what is admitted by
the Republican leaders to be true, that it
is impossible to reach any other conclu
sion than that he is worthy of belief. Be
ing Secretary of the National Committee
there was little done with which he was
not acquainted. He knows the secrets of
the party and he is giving them to the
.country with a particularity and cold
bloodedness that shows that he means to
get even with those who put him in a
felon's dock. The fact that he was
prosecuted on grave criminal charges by
those with whom b.e was formerly asso
ciated in the management of his party,
and that he is now bitter and revengeful,
might detract from the credibility of his
statements if he were not so careful to
support what he says by referring to men
who are widely known throughout the
country and who would promptly publish
denials if his assertions lacked truth. It
may be assumed that there will be no de
nials. If thereshould lie, it is about certain
that Dorsey would publish a few of the
many letters that came into his possession
during that remarkable campaign of IH*O.
In his interview, Dorsey says that the
nomination of Garfield was not unpre
meditated. It was carefully planned
months before the convention, Garfield
sold out John Sherman while pretending
to Ikj his friend. Conkling, Dorsey says,
could have been nominated, and it was
proposed to him that he should allow his
name to go lieforc the convention. He de
clined. He was instructed by his State,
he said, to secure the nomination ol Grant
if possible, and he would uot accept the
nomination even if it were tendered to
hint unanimously. How striking was his
conduct in comparison with that of Gar
field ! That Garfield sold out the great offices
of Secretary of the Treasury and an Asso
ciate Justiceship of the Supreme Court to
get money to buy the Presidency Dorsey
most positively asserts. The record is a
shameful one. Every citizen who reads
it canuot fail to ask, is the party which is
guilty of such corruption fit to continue
in the control of the government? The
sum and substance of Dorsey’s state
ments are as follows:
-First. That Sherman was betrayed at
Chicago; that the pretended surprise of
Garfield's nomination was a sham, and
that it was the result of a prearranged
plan.
‘•Second. That jealousies|aml ambitions
api>eared at the very beginning of the
canvass, and showed themselves in the
organixatioa of the National Committee.
“Third. That it was at the earnest re
quest of Garfield, Governor Foster and
General Arthur that he accepted the place
of Secretary of the National Committee.
••Fourth. That the rich bankers of New
Y'ork were so distrustful that they re
fused to contl ibute a cent until a peculiar
organization, known as a Finance Com
mittee, composed of these bankers, was
formed.
••fifth. He intimates that Garfield, Ar
thur and all of the Republican leaders re
lied upon money to win the battle, and
admits that a very large sum was raised
and disbursed by'these bankers. It was
purely a money campaign.
“Sixth. He asserts positively that Gar
field bought the New York stalwarts’ sup
port by a positive promise to appoint Levi
I’. Morton Secretary ot the Treasury.
“Seventh. He reiterates the charge that
the pockets of the New York bankers
were reached through a promise of Gar
field's to allow a syndicate of them to re
fund the government bonds.
“Eighth. He asserts with great positive
ness that a bargain was made between
Garfield's representatives and Jay Gould
and C. P. Huntington, by which Garfield
promised to secure the' appointment of
Stanley Matthews as Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, and the two capital
ists promised one hundred thousand
dollars to the Republican campaign fund.
He asserts, that this money was paid,
was brought to him In Indiana by Mr. T.
C. Platt, and that he casuetl more than
half of it to be sent to Ohio to be used by
Gov. Foster in the campaign there.
“Ninth. He asserts that more than $400,-
o<io was taken to Indiana by a prominent
New Y’ork banker w hom he names. That
this was used there to carry the day.
“Tenth. He asserts that Garfield was
most eager to have as much money raised
as possible, so eager that he made the
blunder of writing the Hubliell letter
against his ( Dorsey’s) advice.
“Eleventh. He asserts that the vast fund
raised, between one and two million dol
lars, was a corruption fund.
“Twelfth. He tells the story of the curi
ous intrigues that led to the putting of
James and MaeY’eagh in Garfield’s Cabi
net, and asserts that it was Garfield's in
tention to remove them.
“Thirteenth. He asserts that Garfield was
bulldozed by Blaine and a prominent New
Y'ork editor into violating his promises to
Conkling, and into appointing Robertson
Collector of the Port of New Y ork, w ith
out having first notified the New York
Senators that such was his intention.
But this bulldozing took the shape of a
threat to publish the details of the Stanley
Matthews scandal unless Robertson’s ap
pointment was made.”
Our Forests.
Dr. Loring. Commissioner of Agricul
ture, is alarmed at the rapid disappear
ance of American forests. He says that
the present wholesale rate of cutting tim
ber will soon leave the entire country
bare of trees. The Forestry Congress is
doing something towards encouraging the
growth of timber on the plains and prai
ries of the West, but what this congress
accomplishes in the way of renewing the
forests is very little in comparison to
what the lumbermen are accomplishing
towards destroying them. Whenever an
effort is made to draw public attention to
the evils that follow the destruction of
the forests for the purpose of securing
the enactment of laws for the preserva
tion of timber, as in Switzerland
and France, the newspapers are at once
filled with statements and figures to show
that the forests of this country cannot be
destroyed in centuries. The truth is the
timber area of the country is growing
rapidly less and the demand for lumber is
every year growing greater. Not raanv
years ago there was no demand for the
timlier lands of the Southern States. The
forests of the North and Northwest fur
nished all the lumlier that was needed.
The supply in that section is now about
exhausted. The great pine forests of the
South have been invaded. Timlier land
that couldn’t be given away fifteen years
ago now brings a good price. Thou
sands of saw mills are at work in
the Uarolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas. The area of the pine region is im
mense, but great as it is it will not take
the lumbermen of the Northwest, who
have invaded this region in numbers
almost equal to an army, many years to
strip it naked. They are assisted in their
work by the turpentine farmers, who,
with a recklessness that cannot be con
demned too strongly, cut the trees so
deeply as to destroy them in two or three
years. It is a remarkable fact that while
we are bemoaning the loss of our forests
we are offering a bounty for their destruc
tion. Last winter a determined effort
was made by the Democrats of the
Senate to put lumlier on the free list, but
the effort failed because the lumbermen
in the Northwest said they would lie
ruined if the lumber of Canada were per
mitted to enter free of duty. If the de
struction of our forests are to Vie fol
lowed by such dire consequences
as droughts and famines, would it not
be wise to protect them to a certain ex
tent by getting a part of our lumlier sup
ply from Canada? If the duty is removed
Canada lumlier will find its way into our
market in very considerable quantities.
If Judge Hoadly had not assisted in
starting a Democratic paper—the Xeics-
Joumal —in Cincinnati he would not now,
perhaps, have the Enquirer to tight In his
contest for the Governorship of Ohio. A
Democratic paper was no doubt needed in
Cincinnati, but Hoadly having political
aspirations ought not to have put his
money in it, and allowed the impression
to get abroad that the new paper was to
be his personal organ. He should have
known that the Enquirer would not
quietly submit to the establishment of a
rival.
Our Cotton Crop Reports.
YY'e present this morning the second of
our series of weekly cotton crop reports.
The replies are from forty-five counties
in Georgia aud Florida. The drought in
Georgia has been generally broken, and
the prospects of the staple are corres
pondingly improved, though fears of rust
are entertained in some quarters.
In Florida worms and caterpillars have
appeared, and are doing considerable
damage, but the condition of the crop is
upon the whole better than in Georgia
Picking has begun to a limited extent, but
will be pretty general after the 15th inst.
The supply of labor is from fair to good,
though scarce in some sections. The yield
will largely depend upon the character of
the residue of the season.
The New York Sun sings the praises ol
William S. Holman, of Indiana, in a half
column double-leaded editorial. Holmau
is the Sun’s candidate for the Presidency.
He is, perhaps, ali things considered,
about as strong a man as the Democratic
party could nominate. He may uot lie in
tellectually as great as others whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with the Presidency, but he has
a reputation for integrity that would
make him a popular candidate. It
is true that in the minds
of some of his associates in Congress
there is a suspicion that his course in ob
jecting to all claims against the govern
ment is inspired more by a desire for no
toriety and popularity than for the pur
pose of protecticg the government, but it
may lie that this suspicion is due to jeal
ousy or to defeated schemes. Mr. Hol
man would not make a handsome Presi
dent. He is about as great a contrast to
Mr. Arthur in looks, dress, habits and, in
fact, in every respect as is possible.
Stranger things have happened than that
Mr. Holman should be ehosen President.
The New York Court of Appeals has just
decided that druggists are liable in dam
ages for all mistakes they or their clerks
make in compounding and putting up pre
scriptions. In the ease in which the
above decision was rendered, a druggist’s
clerk, by mistake, gave a customer
“black drops” instead of “black draught.”
The mistake resulted in death and the
relatives of the victim sought to recover
damages. It is a wonder that more dam
age suits have not lieen begun against
druggists. Too many of them employ in
competent clerks.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury has
practically given notice that he has the

OUR FIRST MINISTER TO PERSIA.
Mr. Benjamin'# Journey in State to Te
heran—An Audience with the Shah.
Washington Special to Bew York Sun.
In a dispatch of June 13 last to the
Department of State, Mr. S. G. W. Ben
jamin, recently appointed Minister Resi
dent and Consul General of the United
States to Persia, gives an extended ac
count of his journey to Teheran and the
ceremony attending his official presenta
tion to the Shah, Mr. Benjamin lieing the
first diplomatic representative of this gov
ernment accredited to Persia. Mr. Ben
jamin was sixty-five days reaching
Teheran from New 'Y’ork, by way of Bor
deaux, Marseilles, Constantinople, and
Poti, by water, and from the latter place
by rail’to Baker, on the Caspian Sea. At
Baker he received from the Persian Con
sul a telegram from the Shall inviting him
to proceed at once to Teheran. A two
days’ journey in a small boat brought Mr.
Benjamin to Enseli, where the Shah’s
steam yacht, which is the only vessel per
mitted to fly the Persian flag on the Cas
pian Sea, crossed over the bar and took
Mr. Benjamin ashore. They were met on
landing by Mehemet Tagby Kahn, the
mehmaudar or officer delegated to receive
Ambassadors and conduct them to the cap
ital. They were escorted with considera
ble pomp to a summer residence ot His
Majesty, situated in a garden overlooking
the surf-beaten shore of the Cas
pian Sea. After breakfast they were taken
on the steam yacht across a shallow lake
or arm of the sea to the mouth ot a nar
row stream. There they entered lioats
and were towed ui the winding
river to the villiage of l’iri Bazaar, which
forms the portof-Resht. There they were
met by the Governor General
of the" province of Gilan and a
number of notables. Mr. Ben
jamin was requested to mount a line
horse, and some fifty gentlemen accom
panied him to Resht, six miles distant.
When half way there they were met by
six Governors of neighboring provinces
with their attendants, all mounted, who
joined the escort. At the entrance to the
town he was met by a delegation ol two
hundred citizens, who, after saluting
him, formed a procession, and conducting
him to the residence of the Governor Gen
eral, where he was received by a company
of soldiers and awarded comfortable
apartments. Here, also, many officials
and prominent citizens called and paid
their respects to Mr. Benjamin.
From Resht*h journey of two hundred
and twenty miles on horseback was un
dertaken in company with the mehman
dar.
At Aga Balia Mr. Benjamin was met by
the Calantar or Mayor of Casbin, with at
tendants, who received him with the usual
Persian ceremonv, and assured him that
the Governor of Casbin. who is a brother
of the Shah, was desirous of welcoming
linn with distinction. This attention Mr.
Benjamin was forced to decline, owing to
his fatigued condition having ridden about
one hundred and thirty miles, aud his de
sire to reach Teheran before the Shah’s
departure for the summer. At Casbin,
the broad avenue leading to the hotel, the
hotel and the neighboring buildings were
galv decorated with streamers lor the oc
casion. From Casbjn the party proceeded
to Teheran in carriages over a fine car
riage road recently completed. A brilliant
pageant had been prepared outside of the
walls of Teheran at one of the royal pa
valions. At the stairway of the pavilion
Mr. Benjamin was met by the Nasr el
Mulk, or General-in-Chief of the armies of
Persia, and a glittering crow'd of officers
blazing with blue, scarlet, silver and gold.
He was escorted to an audience hall by the
General-in-Chief, where an exchange of
courtesies was ottered and accepted.
Next Mr. Benjamin was taken to the
court below, and mounted upon a fine
horse to continue his travels. This was
the signal for every one to mount, and the
cortege of nearly 1,000 royal guards was
put in motion. They were elaborately cos
tumed.
As tlie procession moved across the
plain toward the beautiful turreted gate of
the city, which is decorated with parti
colored glazed tiles, the Cossacks dashed
hither aud thither between the lines, tiring
muskets in the air and exhibiting the
most brilliant feats ot horsemanship.
The streets were lined with spectators,
and at intervals were stationed the police
or squads of military. Passing through
the grand square of the Department of
AVar, the cortege turned into the new or
European quarter of the city. On ap
proaching liis quarters, Mr. Benjamin w as
told by an aid that three hundred soldiers
were marshalled at the entrance to re
ceive him. Mr. Benjamin dismounted,
returned their salute, and, accompanied
by the General-in-Chief aud his staff, was
escorted to the reception room, where
further courtesies were shown and re
freshments enjoyed. Mr. Benjamin next
made an informal call on the Minister for
Foreign Affairs at his residence, accord
ing to the custom of the country.
On June 10 Mr. Benjamin received a
call from the Grand Chamberlin, who is
the son-in-law of the Shah, and who in
formed Mr. Benjamin that His Majesty
wanted to receive him at 1 o’clock p. tn.
on the 11th. Mr. Benjamin was taken to
the palace in a landau furnished by His
Majestv and drawn by six horses,
each mounted by a liveried postillion.
Twenty royal feraushes, on foot runners,
clad in scarlet and wearing plumed
tiaras, preceded the carriage, with a
score of horsemen. Accompanied by the
mehmandar and the second master of sere
monies, Mr. Benjamin arrived at the gar
dens of the palace. All were ushered into
a spacious and handsome hall, where the
first master of ceremonies and other gen
tlemen and dignitaries, gorgeously ar
rayed, were in waiting. Here Mr. Benja
min was invited to a seat of honor and
treated to “tea and the kalionu, or water
pipe.” Soon afterward Mr. Benjamin was
told that His Majesty was in readiness to
receive him, and thereupon lie was con
ducted by the first master of ceremonies
to the palace itself. At this moment a
salute fired in honor of the United
States thundered over the city. “On en
tering,” says Mr. Benjamin, “we as
cended a magnificent staircase. The
walls were decorated in part with paint
ings of European masters. From the
staircase we entered an audience hall (if
vast proportion. His Majesty stood at
the upper end. Leaving iny outer shoes
at the door, as prescribed by the treaty of
Kounnautchia, 1 made a low bow and
walked up to where the King was
standing.” Mr. Benjamin then addressed
the King in French and presented his let
ter of credence. His Majesty replied that
it gave him great satisfaction to see an
American legation at Teheran, and con
sidered that" both governments could be
further benefited by increasing the Inter
course and diplomatic relations of the two
peoples. After this ceremony IDs Majes
ty expressed strong hopes that the United
States, having established a legation in
l’ersia, should maintain one permanently
at Teheran.
At the conclusion of the audience with
His Majesty, Mr, Benjamen made a for
mal call upon the Secretary of Foreign
Affairs and paid his respects: also to bis
Royal Highness, the Naib Sultan, who is
the Minister of AVar and oue of the sons
of the King, and thanked him for the mil
itary escort.
