Our Washington correspondent claims
to have reliable information to the effect
that Mr. Farrow will not succeed Judge

Those who look upon the Mexicans as

The Philadelphia Republicans, not sat

Speaking of the reduction in the coin

A New Jersey Senator has committed
political suicide by proposing te have the

It is now said to be certain that Prince

A Washington item says Gov. Butler
has offered to sell or lease to the govern

use as committee rooms. It is respect
fully suggested that, as the house is fa

better plan would be for him to lease
one or two of the investigating commit

The large vote by which the Mississippi
river million dollar appropriation passed
the House yesterday shows that the Mis
sissippi river improvement is popular,
and that there is a disposition on the part
of Congress to trust to the judgment and
honesty of the Mississippi River Commis
sion. It also indicates that this Congress
is disposed to be liberal in its appropria
tions for rivers and harbors.
Whatever dissensions may exist in the

The Rule for the Protection ol' Con
gressmen.
It is not entirely clear, from the account
in the Washington dispatches respecting
the new rule prohibiting the sale of intoxi
cating liquors in the capitol building,
whether malt liquors are regarded as in
toxicating or not. Senators Bayard and
Five led the discussion when the rule was
under consideration. Frye belongs to a
State which has a prohibitory liquor lan,
and he probably understands that the
new rule excludes malt as well as spiritu
ous liquors. Bayard plead lor malt
liquors, but was satisfied with the word
ing of the rule. If the law is strictly in
terpreted the sale of malt liquors will Ik?
stopped in the capitol restaurants. It is
probable, however, that as little, if any,
drunkenness is liable to result from the
sale of malt liquors, the rule "1
not be construed to exclude tl j eul ’. ‘
members of Congress say that there is not
near as much drunkenness among Con
j gresgmen now as there was ten or fifteen
I years ago. It is a very unusual thing to
; see a Senator or Representative now-a
--i davs under the influence of liquor in the
i capitol building. There was a rule last
session agaiust selling spirituous liquors
in the House or Senate restaurant, but it
was constantly evaded. Whisky was sold
us tea, but the restaurant keepers were
| careful not to sell enough to any person
to cause drunkenness. If reports are eor
| ,-oot there Is a good deal of
! whiskv consumed by the Sena
j urs and Representatives every day
! during the sessions of Congress, but it
I isn’t obtained at the bars of the restau
| rants. It is kept in committee rooms, and
| those who are thirsty have no difficulty in
! finding it. The improvement in the drink
ing habits of Congressmen ought to be,
and no doubt is, a source satisfaction to
the country. Even the fascinating game ot
poker has lost, in a great measure, the
prominent place it once held among the
social pleasures of Congressmen.
Fin-on caging; Immigration.
The State and local authorities of North
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and
Tennessee are combining witg the rail
roads in an effort to secure emigration
from the North to those States. Agents
are being placed at many points in New
England, who will give full information
about the sections they represent, and the
railroads, by an arrangement with the
Boston and Norfolk Steamship Line, "ill
give a series of excursions to prospectors,
the average railroad fare being only about
one cent per mile. It is considered quite
certain that hundreds of thrifty larmers
and mechanics will be induced to settle
in the States named, and that the influx
will add largely to their prosperity.
Would it not be well for the States
further South to follow the example of the
ones above named? While thousands are
going West every year, owing principally
to the inducements ottered by means of
liberal advertising, a comparatively small
number come to South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida from the North. The railroads
and landowners are equally interested in
this matter, and if they would co-operate
iu the work, the tide of emigration could
be largely turned in this direction.
The wholesale importation of foreign
laborers into the South is not demanded
except by a few special interests. What
we want is farmers, mechanics,etc. —men
who are already identified with the coun
try, and who can bring their energies,
their lamilies and some little capital to
help develop and build up this section.
Such men would be warmly welcomed in
each county, and the inducements that
are offered to them in cheap lands, de
lightfulness of climate, variety of pro
ducts and nearness to the seabord, which
will one day be of immense importance,
are far superior to any apparent advan
tages that may be claimed by the West.
Our railroads are especially interested
in the development of the country along
their various lines, and instead of giving
our own people cheap emigrant rates to
the West, as has been their custom, it
would be a much wiser policy to ofler ex
traordinary concessions to those who may
be induced to settle in the country and
thus become permanent and growing pa
trons of the roads. The policy of our
railroads in giving those who are inclined
to leave this section to settle in the West,
special encouragement to do so is very
much like killing the goose that lays the
golden egg.
Another Hotel Fire.
Among our telegrams will be found an
account of the destruction by fire on yes
terday of tbe Suwannee Sulphur Springs
Hotel at Suwannee, Fla., one of the best
and prettiest winter resorts in that State.
This makes the fourth large hotel that has
been burned within a short period in this
section of the South. The first was the
Mitchel House at Thomasville, valued at
$150,000: then the Kimball House,Atlanta,
valued at $400,000; then the Ocala House,
at Ocala, Fla., yaluedat $125,000, and now
the Suwannee House, valued at $75,000,
making a total of three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars’ worth of hotel property de
stroyed within a short period of time and
in a limited territory.
There have been many other hotels
burned recently in other sections of the_
Union—indeed, hotel fires are of such
common occurrence that this species of
property is put down as specially hazard
ous by the insurance companies, and spe
cially high rates are charged for carrying
risks ou them.
There are evidently some serious defects
in modern hotel construction which ren
der them peculiarly liable to accidental
ignition, in very few hotels are there
proper facilities for the extinguishment
of fires, or trained servants to use such
facilities as are at hand, or cool, compe
tent men to direct the wild crowds that
usually gather at such fires.
The frequency of loss of life, to say
nothing of the destruction of valuable
property, renders imperative some im
provements in the construction and man
agement of hotels, and those that can
assure the traveler of the greatest safety
can rely on commanding the best patron
age.
Tiie Time (Question.
The standard time question may be re
garded as settled for the present. We are
to have loeal time again. A petition was
presented to the Council last night asking
them to revoke their action of Wednesday
night, ordering a return to local time. The
petition was sent out for signatures late
yesterday afternoon, but it was neverthe
less signed by about as many persons as
the petition against the new standard. If
there had been time, signatures by the
hundred, doubtless, could have been ob
tained. The petition was not acted upon
favorably, and the whole matter was
postponed indefinitely, which means that
the city clocks will be set forward 36 min
utes to-morrow. The action of the Coun
cil is to be regretted.
There is no use arguing the matter lur
ther at present, and there is no use ex
pressing indignation at this backward
step. The trouble and annoyance which
is certain to follow a double standard may
convince the Council that they have made
a mistake. It it does not another Council
may view the time question differently.
We are satisfied that in this matter the
wish of a small minority, rather than the
will of the great majority, has been con
sulted.
Col. J. E. Bryant is one of the veteran
managers of the Southern Republican con
tingent. A Washington special states
that he has buckled on his armor anew
and enlisted for the campaign in favor of
Arthur. He has assumed charge of a new
ly organized political association, which
has its headquarters in the otfice of the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. Its ob
ject is to concentrate the Southern Repub
licans on Arthur and thus insure his nom
ination. If this is true, Bryant has prob
ably struck a political “bonauza,” and
will work the claim for all it is worth. It
may be well imagined that the task of
carrying the Southern vote to Arthur in
the Chicago convention will not be a very
difficult one, and in ease he should be
elected Col, Bryant would be welcomed
as a good aud laithfUl servant, and in due
season would reap his reward.
The Republican papers don’t mind it
much when a Southern Congressman dis
courses eloquently in favor of the old flag,
but when his patriotism rises to the point
of asking for au appropriation, then the
editors lay down and howl. ■
Gen. Gordon and the Huntington
Letters.
In the Huntington-Coulton letters,
which have been widely circulated and
commented on within the last month, the
name of Gen. John B. Gordon is mentioned.
This fact has been pointed out bv certai
journals in a way that Gen. Gordon and
his friends regard as unfriendly. > •
Gordon has written a letter to
Mai. John C. Vbitner, of At
anta, stating why he was r.endlv
to Huntington rather than to bcott when
Scott was trying to get from Congress a
charter for his Texas Pacific road and
bonds to build tbe road indorsed by the
government to the amount ot $50,000,000,
and Huntington, who was building the
southern Pacific, was trying to prevent
Scott from getting a charter. Gen. Gor
don says;
I opposed Mr. Scott’s bill with such In
fluence as 1 could exert, ou two distinct
and well considered grounds. First, as a
United States Senator, I opposed it on the
ground that the Government of the l mted
States ought not ou principle, nor as a
public policy, to place its indorsement on
the paper of a private corporation. Espe
cially was this true In view of the fact that
another corporation was proclaiming its
readiness to do the work without any su >-
sidv of anv description, and was actually
accomplishing the work with great vigor
and rapidity. Georgia’s experience in in
dorsing the'bonds of railroad companies,
as well as the experience ot other Mates,
did not justify me, 1 thought, in favoring
so gigantic a scheme of government aid
when there seemed to be no necessity what
ever for such extraordinary legislation.
Secondly, as a Southern Senator, T was
profoundly anxious that, if we were to
have a road across the continent claiming
to be a Southern road,it should in fact, and
not merely in name, be such.
was at the head of great lines of road
leading from New York to St. Louis. He
was seeking to extend from St. Louts j
through Northern Texas to the 1 acme ,
Ocean. I believed then, and 1 believe j
now, that if this great Southern line had
been built and owned by Mr. Scott and
his associates and successors, their inter
est would have compelled them to induce
the transcontinental freights to pass over
their own lines bv way of St. Louis to
Northern ports. If any one doubts this
he doubts that men are influenced by their
own interests. It is true that the Scott hill
provided for a branch to the Mississippi
liver at Vicksburg, I think. But who can
i believe that Mr. fleott and his associates
would have directed the great traffic be
tween the Pacific and Atlantic ports over
this short branch, instead of oyer the one
thousand miles of his line leading by way
of St. Louis to New York. On the other
hand Mr. Huntington not only tie
dared lit* purpose to carry* the
road to southern ports and Southern
ports only, but he had no interest In car
rying It anywhere else. On these two dis
tinct grounds, as to the propriety and
wisdom of which I challenge the scrutiny
of friend and foe, I opposed, the Scott bill
and favored the plan of Air. Huntington.
Tiie latter declared that he could and
would l.uild the road without a dollar
of government aid or subsidy* He
did it. lie declared that he would
make the eastern termini of his
lines at Southern ports, and only South
ern ports. He has done so. At Galveston,
at New Orleans, at Memphis are his lines
and our own Atlantic cities, Brunswick,
Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, are
destined to reap the benefits of the vast
influx of California wheat, and of the
enormous traffic between the Pacific and
Atlantic ports, while the most Northern
point at which his lines terminate is at
Newport News, in the State of Y irgiuia.
Tbe system wjtli which the Payne Presi
dential campaign is said to be organising
is thought in some quarters to indicate
that Tilden is the moving spirit in the
matter. It is a very popular and conve
nient thing just now to charge everything
that can’t be understood to Tilden. The
old gentleman, however, contrary to his
unsual custom, has denied the soft im
peachment to a confidential friend, who
has let the secret out to a newspaper re
porter, with the intimatiou, all other ru
mors to the contrary notwithstanding,
that Tilden’s first choice for the Presiden
cy is Samuel J. Tilden. It is suspected
that both Gath and Eh Perkins are work
ing countermines tor the purpose of ob
taining misinformation, in the political
soil of Greystone.

Republican Congratulations.
Stic York Times , lir]).) .
Republicans and friends of civil service re
form have cause for hearty satisfaction in the
introduction of bills to repeal the reform act
bv Congressmen Shaw, of Illinois, and ( lay,
of Kentucky. IVc look upon this move very
much a* our esteemed Republican Democratic
contemporary, the Sun, looks upon what it

Something Badly Needed.
Hartford (Conn.) Times (Vein .).
The Boston Advertiser, no longer caring to
defend either Robeson or the administration
which he was the blossomed lily, is now anxi
ously discussing what it calls "‘the need of a
naval policy.” Well, we really ought to have
something;'if we can't have a navy, after
Kolieson's waste of a hundred millions iu de
stroying what we had, we ought af least to
have a naval policy. It could be inscribed on

Protection Promotes Extravagance.
Galveston Xeics (Dem.).
It is worse than triviality to go on heaping
up gold ami greenbacks in the Treasury, and
then keep up a show of objecting in the Hol
man style to large expenditures. A great
and fundamental tariff reform that would
about empty the Treasury and keep it nearly
empty, would be an Immense stride iu states
manship as compared with the maintenance
of a protective system; but auy half-way
measures will leave the country under the
present affliction of surplus revenues pro
moting or compelling waste and extrava
gance.
Edmunds’ Animosities.
Connecticut Farmer (Don.).
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, is classes! by
Republican journals as their party s most
conservative leader, ami yet. iu a recent in
terview. he spoke of “tho animosities of a con
quered rebellion" as still existent and as poli
tical elements. For several years it has been
the constant endeavor of the best business
men of both parties, in the interest of the
whole country, to banish sectionalism, and
their efforts would have been ere this a com
plete success if the Republican politicians had
not persisted in attempts to "fire the Northern
heart" for purely political purposes.

Au ex-tnember of Congress from Ohio,
who has long been prominent in polities,
to-day spoke of the relations existing be
tween Tilden and Payne. He scouts the
idea of Tilden being at work to help along
a Payne boom, and says: “He wants the
nomination himself, and will get it if he
has one foot out of the grave. He has
never forgiven the treachery of William
C. Whitney, Payne's son-in-law, in 1880,
when Whitney’ induced New York dele
gates at Cincinnati to vote for Payne.
Whitnev had been his confidential friend.
When Tilden found out that the Ohio Sen
atorial fight lav between Payne and Thur
man be decided to take no hand in the
contest, as there was no one whom he
could use as a compromise to crush them
both. He believed strongly in Hoadly.”
The Speaker, when asked whom Tilden
favors for President, replied: “Himself
unquestionably. Next to himself Iload:
lv.” "Why Hoadly?” he was asked.
“Well,” be’ replied, “the Judge has the
same personal restlessness, nervous ac
tivity and general organization that Til
den possessed in his younger days. He
admires HoadlVs brightness, and is at
tracted to him in many ways. Hoadly is
carrying himself pretty well since elec

Touching Jay Gould’s Heart.
Xetc York Times.
\ little, black-bearded man was walk

noon, when a shivering tramp, who had
been loitering in front of Trinity Church,
stepped in front of him and said some

no reply, but stepped to one side and con
tinued bis journey up town. The beggar
slouched after him. and said in a louder
tone than before, “Please, Cap, gi’ me a
few cents for a bowl of soup.” Even to
this appeal the little man paid r.o atten
tion. and would doubtless have succeeded
■ in escaping from the importunate tramp
had he not been stopped by a friend who
engaged him in conversation. The beggar
crowded up as closely as possible to the
two men aud began a pitiful tale of dis
tress. He was heard to say, "And everv
thin<r I possessed went in Wall street.
Jay Gould and those fellows got it.” The
little black-bearded mau’s hand went
quickly down in his pocket and brought
cut a coin, which was placed on the dirty
palm of the mendicant, with the words,
“There, now go away, please.” The fel
low shuttled away, evidently without
knowing that the little man who gave him
the tuouey was Jay Gould himself. The
other gentleman was Cyrus W. Field.

A DETECTIVE'S STORY.
His Interesting Experience With the
Lovely and Accomplished Daughter of
a New York Merchant.
JSaltimore American.
Detective A1 Gault, of the city detec
tive force, yesterday told of an interesting
incident that occurred some time ago in
connection with his services as a detec
tive. A rich merchant of New York num
tiered among the memtiers of his family a
lovely and accomplished daughter, who
was the pride and delight of his home. She
was beautiful and highly educated, and
had but one fault—she was self-willed and
had a terrible temper. One morning at
breakfast table she quarreled with
her mother, and that night left
home. No word was left by her
to indicate where she had gone.
The father communicated with Pinkerton
and others, but nothing could be learned.
Seven months passed away, and in the
course of business the father had occasion
to visit Baltimore. In the course of con
versation with a prominent merchant of
this city he told the story of the loss of his
daughter. The Baltimore merchant sug
gested calling in the services of the Balti
more detectives, and the idea was adopted.
Detectives A1 Gault and Tod Hall were
given the ease, and at once went to work.
They were told by the father that money
was no object in prosecuting the search,
which, if successful, would be amply re
warded. The detectives visiflM boarding
bouses and other places in the city, but
were unsuccessful. At last they de
termined to insert a personal in the pa
pers, which read as follows;
I>ERSONAL.— If I.snra —, who left her
home in N'ew Y ork on June 25, will call at
the Baltimore post office she will reoeive a
letter from her loving father.
Detective Gault stationed himself at the
post office for twe days, but no one called
for the letter, Re was more successful
on the third day. "While at the post office
he saw a lady closely veiled approach the
delivery window, and heard her ask for
the decoy letter. Slipping outside he
waited until she had turned the corner at
Gay street, and then, joining her, he
said:
“Excuse me, Miss Laura, but I have a
message from your father. He wants to
see you.”
Slie stopped suddenly, and without lift
ing her veil replied:
“You scoundrel ’. If you do not instantly
leave me I will call the first passing gen
tleman and have you thrashed.”
The detective said: “Inin a detective,
and have been detailed to arrest you and
take vou to police headquarters', and if
you do not go quietly, 1 will be obliged to
take you by force.”
She wilted and went as far as Baltimore
street, and there made another stand.
She stamped her foot and positively re
fused to go a step farther. The detective
coaxed, but without effect, and was
obliged to threaten to take hold of her be
fore she agreed to accompany him. At
last he got her as far as the Marshal’s of
fice, where she pitched into Marshal Gray,
and refused to have anything to do with
hint or with her father. Gault went up
after her father, and told him of the recov
ery of his daughter. He was very deeply
affected at the expected realization of his
fondest hopes, lie recovered sufficiently
to accompany the detective to the Mar
shal's office, where the meeting between
the lathi r and daughter was most affect
ing. The daughter upon the sight of her
father softened and yielded to the influ
ence of paternal love. The daughter then
explaiued that when leaving her home,
seven months before, she had considerable
pocket money, which lasted her some
time. Coming to Baltimore, she had
joined a Catholic mission and applied to
the Sisters in charge for something to do.
One day a banker’s wife came to the mis
sion, and being in need of a governess for
her children, asked the Sisters to recom
mend someone to fill the position. The
Sisters spoke of her as being accomplished
and having a secret history. The banker’s
wife took her home and in a few days
found her protege was of superior educa
tion and most ladylike in demeanor. The
banker’s wife happened to read the per
sonal. and thinking it might be connected
with her governess, showed it to her. It
was two days before she made up her miud
to call for the letter, and at last did so,
only to be caught by Detective Gault.
The young lady at once agreed to return
to her home with her father, and they left
the same afternoon. The detectives re
ceived a long letter from the overjoyed
father several days afterwards, thanking
them very much for having been the means
of bringing sunshine and happiness Into a
desolate home. There was only one thing
the father forgot, and that was a substan
tial reward to the detectives.
JURY ROOM REVELATIONS.
Actions of the Jurors In the South Caro
lina Political Triais.
Charleston, S. C., Special
During the recent political trials in Co
lumbia it was charged that the Green
backers and Republicans who were mem
bers or the jury had held meetings and
entered into an agreement to convict the
defendants, all of whom were Democrats,
with or without evidence, for political
reasons. These charges were based
upon affidavits made by certain ju
rors who were present at the caucuses,
but who would not consent to enter
into the conspiracy. These affidavits
were held by the counsel for the defense,
and would have been submitted to the
court if Judge Bond had not wisely de
termined to put an end to the shameful
prosecutions. C. C. Turner, one of the
jurors, recently published a card saying
that the charges of conspiracy on’the
part of the jury were false, and that no
caucuses for conviction were held. Now
comes J. Gideon Long, of Union county,
S. C., also a member of the jury,
giving a full account of the whole
business. He states that in one of the
cases, after the jury had retired to their
room, a debating club was organized with
a negro as chairman, and that the ques
tion discussed was “Whether or not there
was a juror on the pane' with the inten
tion of defeating ttie government in con
victing the defendants, and it so what
would be the result, as there were the
eyes of 50,000,000 people watching and
waiting the verdict of this jury?” Juror
Turner led off in the debate and mad-* a
long speech, in which he stated that in
order to establish a precedent they should
necessarily find a verdict of guilty. Three
of the jurors,,one a negro, and t\vo white
men, refused to find a verdict of guilty,
when Turner proposed that nine
of the defendants should be released if the
jury would find a verdict of guilty against
Bet’ha and Moody, as they seemed to be
leading Democrats of Marion county, and
he wanted to punish them whether they
were guilty or uot, to establish a prece
dent in the" Eastern portion of the State,
as it would help them during the cam
paign of 1884. Long states that it was the
inteulionof the government officials to se
cure a verdict of guilty, and intimates
that the were privy to the caucuses that
were held in the jury-room.
There is a great deal of indignation
here at the disclosures that have been
made, and a strong demand will be made
that, while investigating the expenditures
by the Deparment ot Justice, Congress
will also direct an investigation into the
abuses tiiat have crept into the adminis
tration of justice down this way.
Rice in South Carolina.
Dr. Eggleston, in his illustrated paper
in t he January Century on “Husbandry
in Colony Times,” 6ays of rice culture:
“The destiny of South Carolina was
changed by a single lucky experiment. In
1G96, when the colony was more than 30
years old, the pioneers were still engaged
in buying furs from the Indians, extract
ing rosin, tar and turpentine from the
pines, cutting timber for shipment, and
growing slender harvests of grain on the
light soli along the coast. Attempts had
already been made to grow indigo, ginger
and cotton; but these had not answered
expectation. A small and unprofita
ble kind of rice had also been
tried in 1688. But one Thomas Smith
thought a patch of wet land at the back
of his garden in Charleston resembled the
soil he had seen bearing rice in Madagas
car. It chanced in 1131*? that a brigantine
from that island anchored in distress near
Sullivan's Island, and the Captain, an old
friend of this enterprising Thomas Smith,
was able to furnish bim a bag of Mada
gascar rice suitable for seed. It grew
luxuriantly in the wet corner of the
garden, anil the seed from this little har
vest was widely distributed. In three or
four years the art of husking the
rice was learned. African slaves were
easily procured in the West Indies, and
the face of society iu the young State was
presently engaged; South Carolina became
a land of great planters and of a multi
tude of toiling negroes. Smith was raised
to the rank of Landgrave and made Gov
ernor of the colony three years after the
success of his rice patch. The new grain
was at first grown on uplands; but the
planters afterward discovered that the
neglected swamps were more con
genial and less exhaustible. The
cruelly hard labor of separating
the grains from the adhering husks
crippled the strength and even checked !
the increase of the negroes; but in the j
years just preceding the revolution this
task came to be performed with mills
driven by the tore© of the incoming and j
outgoing tides, or turned by horses or j
oxeu. A hundred and forty thousand !
barrels .of Carolina rice, ot 400 or 500 j
weight apiece, were annually exportA'd j
before the war of independence. Through !
the example of the Governor of Georgia j
the culture of rice spread into that colo- j
ny aud completed the ruin of the silk
business.”
