The New York Graphic shoot® a jHiison
ed arrow at President Arthur. It says
that be i- guilty of introducing imperial
manners at the White House. This is a
serious charge to W made at the begin
ning of the campaign for delegates to the
Chicago Convention. It is admitted that
Mr. Arthur has a little touch of the dude
in his tastes. but it was not Wfore sus
pected that he was assuming imperial
airs. This is what the Graphic says:
A distinguished gentleman recently said
he had dined with seven Presidents—Ar
thur making the seventh—and that the
other six. including the immortal Lincoln
andGrant, received their guests in a plain,
simple, cordial and unostentatious man
ner. and with some pleasant words of
greeting. With Arthur it is different.
Guests invited to dinner now arrive at the
hour named. A gold-laced, hair-powdered
servant shows them to the Blue Room. No
one receives the guests, unless it be the
servant. Tliev get seats the best they can,
but they geiit*il!y stand, wondering what
Important affair of state obliges the Presi
dent to v iotate all the rules of good breed
ing. After wasting halt an hour or
so, the nation’s band, paid for with the
people's money bv order of the President,
strikes up -Ha. if to the Chief.” In a few
moments Arthur, with slow and measured
tread, appears, descending the stairway,
and soon enters the door of the Blue Room.
When in full presence of his guests he
pauses and poses: then, folding his arms
with precision on an exact line between
bis heart and stomach, still to the music
of “llail to the Chief,” he presents him
self before each of his guests, bowing
stately and low, but utteriug not a word.
This part of tbe ceremony being over, he
usually offers his arm to some member of
the Secretary of State's taniily, and, still
to the music of “Hail to the Chief,”
marches into tbe diuittg room.
No Reason for Retaliation.
The minority report submitted by Sena- I
tor Yanee from the Committee on Foreign ]
Relations, relative to Germany’s action
in prohibiting the importation of Ameri
can pork, presents the matter In a some
what different light from what it has been
presented in the newspapers and by
patriotic Congressmen. Two points are
made in the report. The first is that
Germany has a right to exclude our hog
products if she is sincere in asserting
that they are unwholesome, and that it is
our duty to remove all ground of com
plaint by a rigid system of inspection.
The second is that if the alleged fear of
trichinosis is only an excuse to keep
American pork from coming into compe
tition with the pork of German farmers
we have no reason to complain. Ger
many is only doing in one way what we
are doing in another. We impose prohibi
tory duties in order to afford protection to
many of our products, and Germany says
our hog products are unwholesome as an
excuse to keep them out of competition
with her home products of the same char
acter. This brings home to us in a very
forcible way the workings of the protec
tive system. AVe have been thinking all
the time we could shut out European pro
ducts, but that Europe could not shut out
our breadstuff’s. We find that at least one
country can shut out our pork, and if tue
wheat fields of India yield as great har
vests as they promise it may not lie many
years before the demand for our flour will
fall far below what it is at present. When
American farmers can find no market for
their wheat and pork they will begin
to wonder whether a home market is all
that is desired, and whether tbe protec
tive system is not a failure after all. It is
rejKirted that several mills in this State
are overstocked with their products, and
a meeting ot mill owners has been called
to discuss the problem of over-produc
tion. The price of cotton is advancing,
but the price of cotton goods does not ad
vance. The truth is, the market cannot
absorb all the goods that are manufac
tured, and our manufacturers are prohib
ited from competing in foreign markets by
our protective system. Although Senator
Vance’s report has little chance of meet
ing the approval of the Senate, it will aid
in directing the attention of the country
to the iniquities of that system.
Savannah's Interests ill Congress.
The Savannah delegation had a very
satisfactory hearing before the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors yesterday, in the
interest ot the Savannah river improve
ment, and are hopeful that a liberal ai>-
propriation will lie made. The Georgia
delegation in Congress accompanied them
before the committee and ably seconded
tiieir efforts. Senator Brown made a
strong argument in favor of such an
appropriation as would permit the
work to lie pushed forward
rapidly. He understands thoroughly the
importance of giving Savannah deep
water to tbe sea. He is a man of large
enterprises, and he sees clearly that if this
city is to maintain her Importance as a
seaport vessels of the largest tonnage
must visit her wharves. The plan adopted
for deepening the channel is no longer an
experiment. The part of the improvement
already completed proves that it will be a
success. It is important that the work
should le pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. Vessels that run regularly here
now are frequently forced to wait for the
tide. As the improvement is to la*
finished there is no good reason for delay
ing it by appropriating only a third or
half as much money annually as is
needed. The revenues of the government
are ample, and it will cost no more
to do the work in one or two
years than it will in three or
four. The delegation will be given a hear
ing by the Committee en Public Buildings
t to-morrow. They will doubtless argue as
! strongly there fora public building for
thi' city as they did before the River and
Harbor Committee for the river improve
ment. The efforts ot the delegation pro
mi- to be productive of good results.
Divorce ami the Churches.
Tue great increase in the number of
divorces granted annually is attracting
the attention of all evangelical churches.
In all parts of the Cuited states they are
discussing the divorce evil, and their in
fiuence will be unitedly in favor of its
abatement.
The Catholic Church doos not permit
divorces and Catholic priests invariably
refuse to perforin a marriage ceremony
where either of the parties has been di
vorced. The Episcopalians at their last
general convention. In Philadelphia, il
will be remembered, appointed a large
committee to report on the subject in full
at the next '.convention. The General
Conference of the Northern Methodist
Church is to meet in Philadelphia next
month and it is thought that it will take
some decisive action on the question ot di
vorce. The Presbyterian Synod at its
last session also appointed a committee
on the subject, which will report next
fall. The Baptist Associations all over
the countrv have been discussing the
| matter, and the influence of the denomi
j nation will lie with the others against
| unrestricted divorces, as now allowed by
the laws of many of the States.
; The general sentiment ot all Protestant
churches is that divorces ought only to lie
granted for adultery, and in no other case
will they be recognized by the churches,
| if the present sentiment becomes crystal
lized into the form of enactments.
A united effort will doubtless lie made
to discourage divorces, not only by means
o! church regulations, but by legislative
enactments in tbe different Maws reduc
ing the number of causes for divorce.
The < aucus.
The caucus of the Democratic members
of the House passed off last night with
out any occurrence calculated to cause a
division in the ranks of the party. A res
olution to consider the Morrison bill in
the committee of the whole, allowing a
reasonable time for amendments, and to
pass a tariff bill, was adopted by a
vote ot 110 to 57. The resolution
was modified by an amendment that the
action of tbe caucus should not lie re
garded as binding further thau each
individual member might choose fo re
gard it as binding. If the 57 who voted
against the resolution act with the Re
publicans in making amendments the
bill which will finally pass the House
will not bear much resemblance
to the Morrison bill. It is
to be hoped. however, that
there will be a general acquiescence in
the action of the caucus, and that the
Morrison bill will pass with few, if any,
changes. The resolution ot Mr. Carlisle
in tavor of removing the tax from tobac
co, snuff, cigars and fruit brandy is sig
nificant. I>ecause it shows that it is the
purpose of the party to cut down the
internal revenue as well as the customs
taxes, to reduce the annual surplus of
revenue.
It has just leen decided that a policy
holder In a lite Insurance company has a
right to ask questions resjiecting the
company's condition, and that they must
be answered. In In7l a man by the name
of Tillman took out a jiolicv on the ten
year dividend plan in the New York Life
for $5,000. At the end of ten years the
company notified Uhlman that his policy
was worth so much and that the money
was at his disposal. He refused to accept
the amount and demanded a statement
showing in detail the accumulations on
his policy. This was refused. Uhlman
sued the company,and Judge Vanlloesen
held that the company owed Uhlman a
debt, and that he was not bound to accept
the company's statement as conclusive.
Of course, the company will apiieal from
this decision, and fight it to the bitter
end. There are few life companies that
care to have their affairs inquired into.
An inquiry once in a while, however,
would be a good thing, perhaps for the
policy holders.
The English special war correspondents
are making great capital out of their al
leged "hair breadth 'scajies’’ in the Sou
dan. They are as gallant and talented
a set of prevaricators as those who are
engaged in doing the “bloody shirt’’ bus
iness for the stalwart journals.
The alarming rumor is now being circu
lated that even Boss Quay, of Philadel
phia, is winking at the Blaine ground
swell. Has the President another case of
misplaced confidence on hand?
The Fee System.
The Morrison bill and the Danville and
Copiah county investigations have over
shadowed the work of Mr. Springer's
committee during the last few weeks.
Mr. Springer's committee, however, have
not been idle. Little by little they are
uncovering a good many rotten spots in
the administration of the government
since the Republicans came into power.
Not long ago, through the efforts of the
committee, a resolution was passed by
the House calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury for a statement of the gross
earnings of United States Marshals and
United States District Attorneys from
1573 to 1533 inclusive. A reply has been
received with respect to the Marshals,
but none, as yet. with respect to District
Attorneys. The reply shows that in the
ten years mentioned the fees collected by
the Marshals amounted to $7,000,000. Of
this vast sum only $120,000 reached the
Treasury. All the rest went into the
pockets ot the Marshals. Strange as it
may appear, it seems that in nearly all
cases the fees collected just about
reached tbe maximum allowed by law to
i the Marshals. Of course few believe that
1 this happened naturally. This condition
of affairs was doubtless brought
about by a system of figuring that
; robbed the Treasury while it tilled the
' pockets of the Marshals. It would be in-
I teresting to know how much more the
| Marshals got during the last ten years
| than they were legally entitled to. The
I probabilities are that the AVashington
; authorities winked at the crookedness lie
| cause the greater part of the money that
I was illegally retained was used to aid the
• party. The fee system, however, has run
! its course. This Congress doubtless will
j wipe it out and adopt the salary system.
It ought to have been wiped out long ago.
It has been the occasion of nearly all the
outrages perpetrated on the people of the
South by United States Marshals.
Jute.
A few Jays ago we received a circular
asking us to advise planters to engage ex
tensively this year in planting jute. AVe
have no doubt that the author of the cir
cular believes that it will be to the advan
tage of planters to follow advice of this
kind. AVe are satisfied, however, that if
planters were to plant jute, their time,
lalior and money would lie wasted. It is
useless to begin the cultivation of jute
until a machine has been perfected to ex
tract the fibre and prepare it for market.
There was a good deal of jute raised in
Mississippi last year, but not a single
bale of jute was sent to market. It was
found that the machine, which had been
heralded as solving the jute problem,could
not accomplish the work expected of it. It
is true that it prepared fibre that compar
ed favorably with India jute, but it could
not do it at a cost that permitted the Am
erican grown jute to compete with the
India jute. It is said that this machine
has been greatly improved. That is not
improbable. The public will believe in
it, however, when jute is found in the
market which has been prepared by it.
It is au injury to the jute industry to ad
vise the planting of jute before it is settled
whether it can lie utilized. Planters will
lieeoine disgusted, ai.d will he slow to be
lieve the truth when a machine is invent
ed that will make the production of jute
profitable. No doubt, in time, a machine
will lie invented that will do the work
that is necessary to make the cultivation
of jute in this country profitable, but un
til it is invented planters had better let
jute alone.

By the way. the Democrats have been lieaten

For forty vears the Democratic parlv has
tioen tending towards free trade. It lias
shown a disposition to strike down protective
duties whenever it had the opportunity. If
it lias any principle at all, it is opposition to
Protection. If it has any square issue with
the Republican party, it is ou this question. It
must either accept the responsibility which
it assumed in organizing the Bouse and pre

policy, or it must skulk away and earn the
contempt of the odhntry bv attempting to play
a double game and showing itself afraid to
avow its real purpose.

FLORIDA’S WINTER SEASON.
Hotels Prosperous—Jacksonville Poli
tics—Strawberries Going Northward.
Correspondence of the Morning Xews.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 24.—The tide
of travel has commenced to turn northward,
and the trains and steamers bound in that
direction will have all they can do during tbe
next month to accommodate the pressing
throng of passengers. Now the curiosity
dealers are invaded by purchasers selecting
old and rare articles from their col
lections. as mementoes for home friends,
and carved sticks, jewelry of fish scales
and alligator tusks, stuffed birds and saurian?,
feather fans ami the thousand and one unique
productions of this State will be taken else
where to keep alive the interest that already
attaches to Florida. It would astonish you to
know the quantity of orange blo.soms
sent through the malls daily. They are
carefully packed in great tin boxes
prepared for the pun>ose and the .business
is quire lucrative to those engaged in it.
It is a very mistaken practice that too many
of the visitors adopt in leaving at so early a
jienoil. A few warm days in the spring im
press them wilh the belief that they will find
similar weather at their Northern homes, and
the change in the temperature is often at
tended with unfortunate effects, especially to
those suffering from pulmonary complaints.
It is unsafe for this class to return before the
first of May. A premature departure aud ex
liosurc to the colder atmosphere frequently
•undoes all the benefit derived from the win
ter's sojourn in Florida.
THE HOTELS H AVE DONE WELL,
so well that two at least, the t arleton ami
Duval, will increase their accommodations
during the summer. The proprietors of the
Everett are also contemplating ilie enlarge
ment of their present capacity. Nearly all of
those who manage hotels here iu the winter
have similar establishments at the North dur
ing the summer, and transfer their attaches
from one point to the other wilh the change
of seasons. This business is conducted on
very different principles from tbe mode in
vogue twenty years ago.
It i- now settled tiiat there will be no extra
session of the Legislature. The object tie
signed. the passage of an appropriation bill
for enabling Hie Mate to make an appropriate
display at New Orleans, can. it is believed, be
accomplished through means raised by pri
vate subscription. Commissioner Sebring
himself approves of the latter method. He
has receutlv returned from New Orleans,
where lie obtained all the space he required
for Florida in the main Exposition Hall, and
two acres in the grounds attache* 1. There is
a very good feeling throughout the state with
regard to the Cotton Centennial, and a gene
ral desire is manifested that Florida shall
surpass all of her previous efforts in this direc
tion. The di-plays made by this Mate at At
lanta and Louisville were attended with such
beneficial results that the people at large will
enter heartily into the project, and every sec
tion will be handsomely represented.
THE BEPI BLICANS WILL HOLD THEIR CONVEN
TION
on Wednesday night for the purpose of nom
inating a municipal ticket. It is also pro
posed to place a “Citizens' Ticket" in the field,
and a call to that effect lias received a number
of resjiectalde signatures. As matters now
stand a lively ami exciting election is fore
shadowed.
cm a square issnebetween the parties, when
the lines are closely drawn, this city is Re
publican by a decided majority. In municipal
contests, however, the better elements of Hie
Republicans frequently reject an improper or
inefficient candidate and combine witli the
Democrats. Many of both parties are opposed
to a strict party ticket, and hence there is
always considerable scratching. This prom
ises to l*e largely employed at the coming
alection. At afl events’ matters are badly
muddled now. and the result is doubtful.
Recent heavy and general rains have been
of great service to early vegetables, and main
varieties are now lieing marketed iu rapidly
increasing quantities. Irish potatoes, snap
lieans. green i*e.i', turnips and tomatoes are
found on the tallies of the hotels. A large
crop is anticipated, and the rolling stock *>f
tlie railroads will soon bo heavily taxed.
These products bring good prices, and the re
ceipts arc sufficient to make monev easy in
many jsirtions. Vegetables are licginning to
make serious inroads upon the domains of
King Button, ami are withdrawing many of
liis subjects from their allegiance.
TEN THOI'SANIEQrARTS OF STRAWBERRIES

largely to rendering Florida independent.
Year after year a larger ami larger area is

steps have lieen taken for the establishment
of an fndnstirial School near the city, and
several gentlemen of prominence are engaged
in the movement. It is intended for the bmi
eflt of the negroes, and it is hoped that it will
prove a most valuable adjunct iu improving
tiieir condition. A reformatory school in
connection with this enterprise would lie of
immediate and decided benefit. Then our
hundreiUof negro gamins here, who are ap
parently without friends and homes, saucy

little chaps could be rescued from the streets,
and placed under wholesome restraint, where
they could acquire a useful trade and be
taught the necessity of honesty and lalsir.
much crime could be averted, and a great
public good be accomplished. We have

work in abundance at home as well as abroad.
THE FIRE THIS MORNING
made an ugly blot in a central portion of Ray
street. The firemen had two hours of steady,
hard work before they succeeded in master
irg the flames, ft was the moot destructive
fire wo'have had for several years, causing
the loss of property to the amount of $40,000,
of which about one-half was covered by in
surance. The value of our water system wa?
conspicuously stiown on this occasion: and,
although the water is not used for drinking
purposes, it has already repaid the citv more
than it- cost in reducin'- the loss by fire.
The Jacksonville Board of Trade has taken
active steps to have the fast mail route from
New York continued, and will endeavor to
press its necessity and importance upon Con
gress. To take a step backward now would
lie a serious misfortune and a blow that would
lie severely felt. Committees from this city
will act with similar bodies from other Atlan
tic cities in preventing the threatened disas
ter.

WORKING FOR ARTHUR.
The Way in Which the Great Army of
Federal Officials is Being Used.
Scores of persons in Washington, 6ays a
special from that city to the Philadelphia
Times, are able on their own jiersonal
knowledge to dispute the assertion that
General Arthur is not employing office
holders to secure delegates to the Chicago
Convention. Tbe Internal Revenue
Bureau has ever lieen au effective ma
chine. Commissioner Evans has just re
turned from Kentucky, whither he went
to regulate the Arthur machine with the
view to a solid delegation. The develop
ment of activity lor Blaine in many parts
of the Mate was causing alarm in the Ar
thurcamp. It became necessary to paci
fy Uas9ius Goodloe, a leader in the Sev
enth Revenue District, to do which the
resignation of Swojh?, the Collector, was
procured to put Goodloe in. Swojie is to
have another place Solicitor of the
Treasury, perhaps. Other changes and
appointments are to lie made in the inter
est pf a solid delegation.
Revenue Officer Clark, Raum's chief
clerk, reached Washington last week on
an extended tour in the interest of Arthur
delegates. He is operating in the lobby
of Congress for the whisky ring. As ah
ex-memlier he has the run of. the floor of
the House. Arthurlsm and whisky have
a near relation. If the ring’s scheme for
getting rid of the tax fails it will not be
on account of lack of help from the ad
ministration.
Department officials have left for differ
ent quarters in the last two weeks to look
after delegates. It is the strangest thing
yet that there should be any attempt at a
denial of the part officeholders are play
ing for Arthur. Postmaster Conger, in
Washington, is not only active for Arthur
delegates, but proposes to be one himself.
It is'the open zeal of officeholders in be
coming delegates themselxes that Arthur
may well complain of. Tbe ability of the
administration to secure delegates from
the seat of government is to be tested in
Postmasser Conger's case. “The ass
knoweth his crib and the ox his stall.”
Blaine's sudden looming up all over the
country has put ceremony out of tbe
question. The word has been passed:
“Go in, boys, and do your best.”

WOMEN' AND FINANCES.
The Efficiency of the Sex as Money
Handlers.
Albany Journal .
Although hundreds of women hold posi
tions of linaucial trust in the country. we
have yet to hear of one of them being
guilty of embezzlement or defalcation.
The evidence clearly sustains the position
of those who believe that women are
qualified, morally.physically and intellec
tually, for the handling of money in stores
or in banks. Gen. Spinner, who first in
troduced women into the U. S. Treasury,
left on record a striking testimonial to the
efficiency and integrity of the sex, and no
one ever had a better opportunity to study
the question than he, who at one" time had
l.Ow women under his direction, engaged
chiefly in handling money. He testifies
that they count more accurately and
rapidly than men: that their ability to de
tect counterfeits proved to be superior in
almost every test: that they were, with
out an exception, honest, and were in
variably more careful and painstaking in
their work.
Complaints.of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part of men were made fre
quently during Gen. Spinner's adminis
tration of the United States Treasury, but
such complaints against lady clerks’ were
few. The shrewdest and quickest detect
ors of counterfeit currency were women,
and in case of dispute as to the genuine
ness of money Gen. Spinner invariably
took the judgment of Miss Grandin, who
was for a long time employed in his
bureau. In speaking of her ability in this
particular one day Gen. Spinner said: ‘“lf
I were a believer in clairvoyance I should
say that she possessed thatpower; but I
am not, so I call it instinct.” Although
there are several thousand women em
ployed by the government ns clerks, ac
countants, postmistresses and in other
capacities not one has ever proved un
faithful to her trust. Many have been
discharged for incapacity and other rea
sons, but never one for dishonesty.
OSCAU \V I I.PK’S I AX'T l KE.
The Wild Stories He Tells About Amer
ica.
-Vine York Sun.
A large audience assembled at the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham, a few davs
ago, to bear Mr. Oscar Wilde’s lecture
on his impressions of America. Mr.
Wilde ( who has discarded knee breeches
and reassumed the prosaic trousers) said
that the Americans are the noisiest peo
ple in the world, whose national occupa
tion is catching trains. Pennsylvania,
with its rocky gorges and woodland
scenery, reminded him of Switzerland;
the prairie of a piece of brown blotting
paper. Everything is twice as large as
it should be, every where is twice as far
as it should be. He visited Leadville,
the chief characteristic of whose inhabi
tants is the constant use of the revolver.
He lectured to them upon “Benvenuto
Cellini, his Life and Works,” and was
reproved by his hearers for
not having brought that artist with
him. The explanation that he had been
dead for some little time elicited the in
quiry. “Who shot him?” Among the more
elderly inhabitants of the South he found
a melancholy tendency to date every
event of importance by the late war.
“How beautiful the moon is to-night’." he
once remarked to a gentleman who was
standing next to him. "Yes,” was the re
ply, “but you should have seen it before
the war.” So infinitesimal did he find the
knowledge and appreciation of art west of
the Kooky Mountains, that an art patron
—one who in his day had been a miner—
actually sued the railroad company for
damages because the plaster east of
Venus of Milo, which be had imported
trorn Paris, bad been delivered minus the
arms! And, what was more surprising
still, he gained his case and the damages.
Another Materialized Spirit Captured.
Morion Correrpoiuient Hartford C our ant.
There has been rather an exciting epi
sode in connection with spiritual mani
festations in Boston. At a house at the
south end of the city there have been
many exhibitions of materialized spirits
of late. >ome of those who knew of these
exhibitions were convinced that they
were fraudulent, and laid a plan for their
exposure. The storv, as it is told to me,
is to the effect that fifteen of our citizens
agreed to go together to the house and in
vestigate the matter to the bottom. They
arranged a plan ol o|>cration in advance.
The seances arc held in a darkened room.
The materialized spirits issue from a cab
inet and move about the circle con
versing with those who compose
It. fcl'lie arrangeement was that oue
of the party should seize upon the
spirit, while another, who took a seat
near the gas burner, should strike a match
and turn on the gas at the signal, when
the investigation should proceed. This
was strictly carried out. The spirit a|e
]*ared in the form of a sailor. The ac
tive party in the circle w atched his op
portunity, aud threw his arms with a
muscular grip about the sailor, when the
room was suddenly illumined, and he
found himself clasping a woman. She
fought vigorously to lie free, and dealt her
captor a blow which left a mark on bis
face. The sailor costume came off in the
struggle, and though the woman retreat
ed, the parties got possession of the cabi
net and carried away the paraphernalia
bv which the imposition had been carried
on. it is a singular affair, and the men
who are concerned in the expousure,
1 am told, are of the highest respecta
bility.
