The North Carolina Legislature is con

The Connecticut Legislature carried the

An Italian padrone has been convicted

of Cruelty to Children of New York is
endeavoring to assist in rigidly enforcing
the -‘Padrone law.”
It is gratifying to note that the ship anil
boat building and repairing
business of Charleston is on
a boom, and that the yards have more
work than they can do. It is to be hoped
the other interests of that city will soon

The new protection organ which is to be
established at Nashville in March in lieu

called the Daily Union. It takes the
name of a popular paper, which was long
published in that city before the war. and
which was united with the old American
under the name of the i. moil and, Ameri
can. Col. A. S. Colyar will be the editor
in chiel of the new paper. The American
has great prestige in Tennessee, and now
that it is to take the popular side of the
great question of the day will, no doubt,
be more prosperous than ever.
Of two reports about Gen. Grant s
health circulated on the same day, one
stated that the supposed cancer on his
tongue was more painful than ever, and
the other that it was rapidly going away.
The latter report was from his physician.
It is true, nevertheless, that the General
has had to postpone his visit to his lriend,
Geo. W. Childs, A. M.. of Philadelphia.
Gen. Grant wrote to Mr. Childs. Tuesday:
“I am feeling quite well except a sore
ness at the root of the tongue and the ton
sil over it, which causes me great pain
in talking, and especially when I attempt
to swallow water. I have not smoked a
Cigar since Nov. 20."'
The Cullom and Reagan Bills.
The prospect for the passage of an in
ter-State commerce bill by this Congress
is not very promising. The Senate re
fused to pass the House bill, known as
the Reagan bill and substituted for it, and
passcl a bill of its own, known as the
Cullom bill. The Cullom bill is so differ
ent from the Reagan bill, although aim
ing to accomplish ‘be same object, that
the House will hardly agree to the substi
tute. The main difference between the
Reagan and the Cullom bills is that the
R agan bill does not provide for a com
mission and tbe Cullom bill does. The
Reagan bill provides that it the railroads
do not satisfy the claims of shippers
made in accordance with the law the ship
pers may have their claims passed upon
by tbe United States courts of the dis
tricts in which the claims arise. Tbe
Cullom bill places tbe settlement of dif
ferences between shipi>ers and railroads
in the hands of a commission, and tbe
findings of the commission, if not volun
tarily complied with, are to be enforced
by the commission in the courts.
The inter-State commerce bill that was
reported to the House by the Committee
on Commerce provided for a commission.
When the bill came before the House for
consideration the Reagan bill was substi
tuted for it. There have therefore been
two substitutions in this Congress in in
ter-state com me rce legislat ion.
In the Senate it was contended by the
friends of the Cullom bill that the Reagan
bill would accomplish nothing if it were
to become a law. It was argued that
it would be better to have no inter-State
commerce law than to have such a law.
The Reagan bill certainly affords shippers
every opportunity to have their complaints
passed upon by the courts. It leaves it
optional with them whether or not they
will seek redress.
The regulation of inter-State railroads
by tbe government is regarded as an ex
periment, and there are grave doubts that
it will be successful. If the Cullom bill
should become a law very many of the
great trunk lines would be saddled with
two or more commissions—the Federal
commission and the commissions of the
States through which they pass. They
seem to regard it a great hardship to be
harassed by State commissions. They
will think probably that their burden of
commissions is too great to be In rne if
they are also forced to contend with a
Federal commission.
Commissions would not be so burden
some, ierhaps, if they were composed of
practical railroad men who have a knowl
edge of the difficulties with which rail
roads have to contend. Commissions,
however, as a rule, are made up of broken
down politicians or men who have politi
cal influence. Their aim, in many in
stances, appears to fe to do what they
believe will be popular rather than
what is just, even when they are deal
ing with matters with which they
are acquainted. The Cullom bill pro
vides for nine commissioners, anil if Mr.
Arthur has a chance to appoint them five
will be Republicans and tour will be
Democrats, anil if Mr. Cleveland appoints
them five will be Democrats and four will
be Republicans. These commissioner
ships will be remarkably nice places and
there will i.e a scramble for them. The
pay is within s3oo of that of a Cabinet
officer anil $2,500 more than that of a
Senator. The work and the responsibility
will be light.
The probability that any man who is
qualified to be a commissioner under the
Culloiu bill will get an appointment is so
reuiot-- as to lie hardly worth considering.
The Reagan bill declares that the roaiis
shall make no discrimination on account
of color, but they may provide separate
accommodations for colored people with
out being liable to the charge of discrimi
nation if the accommodations are in every
respect equal to those lor the w'hite pim
ple. The Cullom bill appears to leave the
color question severely alone.
While there are reasons for complaints
against the railroads, it is a question
whether competition, auil improvements
in railroads anil their management will
not do more to remove these reasons than
legislation will. The railroads are so
harassed by legislation that they are pre
vented from doing as well lor themselves
and for the people as they might.
G<*n. fiuwton ami tiie Cablnec*
A committee wiil recommend Gen.
Lawton to Mr. Cleveland for a Cab
inet position during the latter's visit to
New York city. Several days ago we sug
gested that Mr. Cleveland might find good
Cabinet material in this city. It is not
improbable that it s'ill bethought advisa
ble not to weaken the party in the Senate
by appointing two of the strongest Sena
tors to Cabinet positions, and there are
reasons lor thinking that the Cabinet will
not Ik? made up ol men who have little to
recommend them except their ability to
keep themselves before the public. Mr_
Cleveland is a great worker, and it is
probable that he admires men who not
only have a liking for work, but w ho have
the’ capacity to accomplish a great deal
of it. Gen. Lawton is a gentleman in vig
orous health and of line ability. He would
represent the South in the Cabinet as well
as any man that could lie selected. He
knows the South thoroughly, and there
are few Southern men of prominence
with whom he has not a personal ac
quaintance. Gen. Lawton’s friends are
not confined to the South. Tiu'y are to be
found ia all parts of the country.
Of course it will not be necessary to in
form Mr. Cleveland who Gen. Lawton is,
as has been the case no doubt with re
spect to some others who have been
thought worthy of a Cabinet position.
Not only are Mr. Cleveland and Gen.
Lawton well acquainted, but they have
had a very pleasant talk together since
Mr. Cleveland’s election. It would be
gratifying to Savannahians, and to Geor
gians generally, if Gen. Lawton were
asked to become a member of Mr. Cleve
land's administration.
A Remarkable Murder Trial.
There is a remarkable murder trial in
progress at New Orleans. It is remarka
ble because by many it is regarded as
testing the question whether a man who
has money and friends can be convicted
of murder in that city when the evidence
shows his guilt beyond a doubt.
The defendants in this trial are well
known ward politicians. One of tueni is
a Police Justice, and the others are
officers ol bis court. It is charged that
they assassinated, at midday, in one of
the principal streets of the city, Capt.
Murphy, a prominent fireman and local
politician.
Many people saw the shooting, and a
crowd gathered about the man who was
assassinated almost as soon as he fell to
the pavement. How there can be any
doubt about the identity of the assassins
is a mystery. Until the trial began,
however, there was no one who was
willing to say that he recognized the as
sassins. Witnesses were obtained at the
trial, however, who identified all of the
alleged murderers. Why then, it is
asked, should there be any doubt about
the result of the trial ? The doubt arises
from the fact that it is believed the de
fendants have friends on the jury who
will never agree to a verdict ol guilty.
In order to give these friendly jurors, it
is said, some reason for relusing to
agree to a verdict of guilty
quite a number of witnesses have
testified that the defendants were else
where than at the scene of the assassina
tion on the day of the murder. A half
dozen of these witnesses have been ar
rested on ehargesof perjury. This action
apparently shows that the prosecution is
In earnest.
One of the most remarkable things in
connection with the trial is the address
ol the Mayor of the city to the City Coun
cil, an account of which appeared in our
dispatches yesterday, in which It is in
sisted that the Council shall begin pro
ceedings for the removal of the alleged
assassins from office belore their trial is
concluded. The Mayor thinks that the
citv government will fail in its duty
if it does not announce its belief in
their guilt at once by impeaching*'
them. If the city government should
follow the advice of the Mayor
a juror who would refuse to find a verdict
in accordance with the law and the facts
would have more than ordinary de
termination and courage. The present
temper of the people of New Orleans is
such that unless there is evidence tend
ing to create a doubt as to the guilt of
the accused parties the- jurors who fail to
do their duty in the case will fare badly.
It is time that New Orleans proves that.
hanging is not “played out” within her
limits.
The Exposition Finances.
The managers of the New Orleans Ex
position have been forced to acknowledge
finally th3t their load of debt is greater
than they can carry. It is over $300,000.
The State Commissioners and exhibitors
nave therefore determined to apply to
Congress for another appropriation. What
are their prospects kir success ? Appa
rently not encouraging. The appropriation
of a million dollars was made with the
understanding that it would be returned.
There is no reason for expecting that it
will be, or that any part of it will be. The
gate receipts will not much more than
tntet expenses, and they certainly will
uot meet the present indebtedness. The
point will be raised that while Congress
may loan money to help along an ex|<osi
tion. there is no precedent for giving it
outright. N'o one will pretend probably
that if $500,000 is loaned to help the ex
position out of its difficulties, any part
of it will be returned.
The tbiDg to be done is to say to Con
gress frankly that the exposition is a
much bigger and grander affair than its
promoters aid managers had any idea it
would be, and that in order to keep the
promises made to foreign governments by
our government when an invitation was
extended to them to participate in the ex
position, more money is needed. The
! nonor of the whole country is involved in
this matter to a certain extent, and it
is the duty of the government to carry
to a successful issue an enterprise which
is national in its character. It will be
wiser to ask for au additional appropria
tion on the broad ground that the enter
prise is a national one, and the govern
ment must support it. than to ask for a
loan with a promise that it will be re
turned.
Tlie Fall of Khartoum.
There is no reason to doubt the an
nouncement that Khartoum has fallen.
The brave Gen. Gordon, who defended it
so herc'cally for so many months, is either
dead or a prisoner in the hands of tbe
enemy. The English Government is
alarmed, and with good reason. El Mahdi,
tiie False Prophet, who not very long ago
was regarded with a feeling akin to con
tempt, has displayed unexpected re
sources. With Khartoum in his possession
and a great army of 60,000 or more men
at his command the position of the Eng
lish in Egypt is extremely critical. Brave
and disciplined as the English army is it
mar have to succumb to numbers. The
English government has something to oc
cupy it at present of more absorbing in
terest than the prosecution of the dyna
miters.
Gordon, it seems, was not defeated in
a tair tight. He was beaten by treachery.
He relied too much on the loyalty of his
Egyptian troops, and they were not
worthy of the confidence he placed in
them. The next news Irom thq Soudan
will be waited for with deep interest.
The report of the Adjutant General of
the army shows that the number of com
missioned officers in the organized militia
service of the different States is 7,311. and
the number of non-commissioned officers
and privates 83,979. Of unorganized
militia men available for military duty
the number is 6,580,506. New York has
the most organized militia men, 11,086;
Pennsylvania next, with 8,380; Florida
third, with 7,283; Ohio fourth, with 5,843.
Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennes
see and Oregon, he says, have no organ
ized militia service.
Mahone appears to t>e too busy at draw
poker, or something, to either fill his seat
in the Senate or keep the peace among
his supporters in Virginia. There came

of Mahone’s lieutenants, and late Se
cond Auditor, was knocked on the bead
with a two-pound weight by an irate ne
gro, and a big tree light was only averted
by the intermeddling of some Democratic
constables.

Brutus was a crank. There is no doubt
about that. lIU ancestor, Lucius Junius Bru
tus, cither was an idiot or feigned idiocy, and
that gave him the surname of “Brutus,”
which means stupid or brutish. Marcus
Junius, his descendant, was a patriot, of
course, but hi* /.cat for republican liberty
was carried to the |>olut of craziness, and the
influence which Cassius obtained over him
was an evidence of weakness of mind. Asa

1 1 remains to be determined what was ac

aud, while we cultivate a spirit of hope rattier
than of anxiety, we wait with some uncer
tainty to see how it will turn out. We trust
that we were mistaken in our former fears,
as we certainly were mistaken in the opinion
that Mr. Cleveland could not be elected; ami
if he should make a wise, reformatory and

ELOPED WITH A FARM HAND.
An Krrlnf? Wife Sent Away with Her
Husband’s Blessing.
Indianapolis, Feb. 2.—A somewhat
new thing in the elopement line is re
ported from Darlington, Montgomery
county. On last Wednesday a fellow
from Virginia, known as Maj. Tomlinson,
left with tbe wife ot Harvey Shauver, a
young farmer, living five miles
north of that place. Mr. Shauver and
wife were thought to be living happily,
with three beautiful little children. Mr.
Shauver's suspicions were aroused by
one of the little fellows telling him
that the Major, who was a farm hand,
“kissed ma and ma kissed Major.”
Mr. Shauver took his wife to task
lor such action. Stie did not deny
it, and also stated that she would kiss
him just when she pleased. Mr. Shauver
chastised her for her conduct, and paid
the Major off, telling him that he would
give him until Wednesday to leave. This
seemed to raise the ire of Mrs. Shauver,
and she quickly gave her husband to un
derstand that she would go with the dis
charged man. Mr. Shauver knelt in
prayer, and prayed long and fervently
that such thoughts should not be enter
tained by his wife, but his prayers would
not soften or change her heart. Mr.
Shauver gave her all her belongings, and
the baby, a beautilul boy 2 years old; he
helped her into the sleigh, tucked the
wraps close around her, and, with tears
almost streaming from his eyes, kissed
her and the child good-bye, telling her
that he hoped and prayed she would be
satisfied with her ill-judged undertaking.
The couple stated that they were going to
Oregon.
A Gallant Southern Soldier.
Way’s Station, S., F. and W. Rail
way, Feb. 2.— Allow me, Mr. Editor, to
correct your correspondent as regards the
biographical sketch of Senator Call, of
Florida. He did not serve as Major of any
Florida regiment. He teas Acting As
sistant Adjutant General on the staff of
Gen. Joseph Finegan up to the time of
the fight at Ocean Pond, after which Gen.
Fineean, with his brigade and staff, was
ordered to Virginia. Senator Call (then
Captain) returned in a short time, and
was doing duty on the staff of one of the
Generals in Florida at the time of the
surrender.
It was Maj. George W. Call, brother to
the Senator, who served with the Second
Florida Regiment (infantry), and left
Florida early in the war for Virginia as
Captain of a company which he raised,
armed and equipped, at his own expense.
He was elected Major at the reorganiza
tion of the regiment, and was killed while
leading it in one of the seven days’ battles
around Richmond. A more noble and gal
lant spirit was not offered for the Southern
cause than his, and l doubt if any man
did more for the cause than he. He was
an able lawyer, and the most gifted
speaker it was ever my tortune to listen
to, and a devoted friend.
1 make this statement not to detract
anything from Senator Call, lor 1 with
all other old Florida soldiers are proud of
his record, hut that justice may be done
one whose name should stand high in the
niche of Fame. Floridian.
WHEN EVA RTS UNBENDS.
The Wit and Humor of the Senator-
Kleet.
The election of William M. Evarts to
the United States Senate, says the New
York Tribune , has been followed by many
tributes to him based upon different
phases of his long and distinguished
caieer. His leadership of tbe American
bar has been dwelt u\>°n. The number
of celebrated cases in which he has
figured has been recounted. Attention
has been called to his services to the
country as Attorney General and Secre
tary of State. The full measure of his de
votion in the Republican party has been
portrayed. But there remains another
and most agreeable point of view from
which to observe tbe new Senator. The
biographer ot Thaddeus Stevens tells us
that his hero possessed in a remarkable
degree that fond gaitlnrd —that basis of
gayety—which Carlyle attributed to
Mirabeau. The remark is singularly ap
plicable to Mr. Evarts. Tbe gleaming
tnread of gayety runs through the warp
and woof of his life. No one enjoys a
good story more than he. even as no one
tells a better one.
One of his professional brothers ot the
metropolis who thoroughly appreciates
Mr. Evart's gifts of wit and humor, says:
“1 am not sure but his choicest mot was
uttered at a dinner which was given
several years ago in this city to Thomas
Bayley Potter, a member ot the English
House of Commons. The Rev. Henry
Potter was the host, while among the
guest* were a number of other well known
members of the Potter family. _ When it
came Sir. Evarts' turn formally to speak
be began aliost in this way: ‘When I re
member that we are being entertained by
the Rev. Henry—Potter; that we were
invited to meet Sir Thomas Bayley—Pot
ter; when I observed at my right Clark
son N.—Potter aud at my lelt the Rev.
Elipbalet Nott—Potter, I am reminded of
the young country clergyman who was
unexpectedly summoned to supply a city
pulpit. The church was so imposing ami
the congregation so fashionable that when
he rose to make tbe opening invocation he
found himself a good deal flustrated. The
result was that to the consternation of
his hearers he lead off with the petition:
“O Lord, help us never to forget that Thou
art tbe clay and that we are the potters.”
One morning the elevator which carried
him up to his office in tbe State Depart
ment contained an unusual number of
strangers, presumably applicants tor Min
isterships or Consulships. Turning to a
friend who accompanied him. Mr. Evarts
•whispered: “This is the largest collec
tion for foregn missions that I’ve seen
taken up for some time.”
A gentleman who listened to Mr. Evarts
argue a case before the Court of Appeals
a few years ago, in recalling the circum
stance,'observed: “It takes a good deal
to make that dignified court of la9t te
sort indulge in a smile, but Mr. Evarts
did it. He was pitted against some great
corporation, and in order to illustrate tbe
quality of its magnanimity, he said:
•Whv.'if the court please, when I think
of the attitude taken by this road 1 am re
minded of the anecdote of the Irish bailiff
who wrote to the proprietor of the estate
who was traveling on the continent, ‘tThe
tenantry are behaving very badly and
have gone so far as to threaten to shoot
me in case the rents are not reduced.”
And in answer to tbe bailiff the landlord
promptly wrote: “Tell the tenants that
■ the rents will not be reduced, and impress
it upon them that no threats which they
may make to shoot </ou will have the
slightest influence upon me.” 1 believe the
story is an old one, but it became new in
Mr. Evarts’ hands. He told it with irre
sistible effect.”
Another story illustrating the great
lawyer’s quickness is a favorite in circles
of “applied finance.” Not long since he
stood with a party of friends on the soil
of Virginia near the famous Natural
Bridge. There is a legend that once on a
time George Washington threw a silver
dollar from the stream to the surface of
the bridge. It is a big throw, so big in
tact that some of the tourists were in
clined to disbelieve the legend. Mr.
Evarts being appealed to for his opinion,
instantly replied as he measured tbe dis
tance with a twinkling eye: “Well, we
must not forget that a dollar went a good
deal further in Washington’s day than it
does now.”
In 1882 Mr. Evarts was a guest of Brook
lyn’s sons of New England at their an
nual dinner, and made a brilliant speech.
In the course of his remarks he slyly
complimented the Mayor of that city by
commending the Mayor’s fellow citizens
for their obedience'to Milton’s admoni
tion :
What is low raise and support.
At another New England dinner, re
ferring to the assertion that in the cabin
of the Mayflower was composed the first
written constitution of a political State,
Mr. Evarts set the table in a roar by this
comment: “Now it is my duty to say in
the truth of history that that first meet
ing had something at least of the notion
of a packed convention, for nobody was
allowed to go ashore until he had signed
the constitution.”
The election ot Mr. Evarts to the Sen
ate recalls his residence in Washington
while Secretary of State. At that time
he occupied the large double house on K
street, afterward the home of Senator
Hill, of Colorado, and now owned by Rep
resentative Robert R. Hitt, of Illinois
It was a furnished house, and like all
furnished houses in Washington, had the
air of upholstered loneliness which all
the small belongings of the lamily could
not dispel. But it was in this house that
the “Evarts chocolate,” as served by
Miss Evarts at the regular Wednesday re
ceptions, got its hold on the public palate.
I deubt if any one of the thousands mak
ing “Cabinet'calls” remembers any par
ticular thing about the house, but every
one remembers the “delicious chocolate
of Miss Evarts.” When Mr. Frelinghuy
sen became Secretary of State the first
question was not whether he would fill
Mr. Evarts’ place as Secretary, hut
whether the “Frelinghuysen chocolate”
would be equal to the “Evarts chocolate.”
It is needless to add that the “Freling
huysen chocolate” has given such entire
satisfaction as to place the “Evarts choco
late” on the retired list, so to speak, and
now society is asking: “Whom can Mr.
Cleveland get to make chocolate like Miss
Frelinghuysen ?”
YOUNGEST OF POLITICIANS.
Sani ISamlaH, Jr., as a Warwick Among
the Lads of Waahington.
Sam Randall, Jr., is a political leader
among the boys of Capitol Hill, says the
Washington Capital. He is 10 or 12 years
of age and wears spectacles, which makes
him look even more like his father than
nature intended. During the late cam
paign his faith in Cleveland never
wavered, although his school-fellows were
nearly all for Blaine. Among his com
rades he had one, Joe Duddington, who
emulated him in the steadfastness of his
Democracy and Sam determined to re
ward him "with an office. As soon as Con
gress assembled Sam called upon Col.
Jint Wmtersmitb, Doorkeeper of the
House, and demanded a place as page for
his friend Joe. The Colonel told him to
bring Joe down some day and he would
see what could be done.
Last week the two boys appeared at the
capitol, and Sam told the Colonel that Joe
was now ready to be sworn in, nor would
he he pacified until the oath was ad
ministered. “Now, you’re a page, Joe, 1
told you I’d get you something good when
Cleveland got in,” said Sam, and the two
boys went away in full faith that Joe was
on the roll. He reported for duty prompt
ly tbe next morning, and the Colonel con
cluded that the best way out of it was to
keep him. The parents of the two boys
knew nothing of the scheme until It had
been successfully carried out.
