NET NI’EECIIEti.
It is now intimated from Washington
that the Hayes Combination Troupe left
the White House with the intention of
delivering certain formal speeches. These
documents hnd been carefully prepared.
All of them conourred that Key should
continue to prate about the “erring South
orn brother.” That phrase appears to
suit Mr. Hayos admirably. He gloats
and chuckles over it and informs the press
agent that ho mast not omit it again, or
ho would incur the disploosuro of a de-
facto President. Mr. Hayes claims tho
credit for inaugurating a cortain policy.
He boasts of it everywhere, and tells
how he happened to think of it. Now all
this is tho merest fudge, and he and his
party know it. Of coarse Senator Bay
ard approves Hayes’ Southern policy, for
it is on tho line ho and tho Democrats
have ever been fighting. It is the
prinoiple of every national man, and all
such are in the Democratic ranks. It is
what a majority of the people voted for
when they cast their ballots for Tilden.
Mr. Ilayos is well aware of the fact, and
we hopo os ho comes Southward he will
bo manly enough to acquaint tho people
with tho fact that though unfairly placed
in power, yet he has had the courage to
Adopt tho policy pointed out by a major-
ity of tho people. Every Democrat cm
approve that portion of his Government,
for he acknowledges the correctness of
their principles by doing so. He ought
to alter his sot orations. They will not
be palAtablo south of the line.
A correspondent of the Ginoinnati
Enquirer at Washington writes that the
Louisiana Returning Board have virtually
tho control of the Now Orleans Custom
house. King, the collector, is a mere
figure-head, while Anderson, the special
deputy with power, is the oolleotor. Wells
commands next the snrveyorship of the
port, and has a couple of sons in his em
ploy drawing Government pay. Bat, al
though it is a violation of civil service re
form orders, Sherman dare not objeot, or
he would havo done so long ago, as the
faet has been reported to him. tfenner
is the real naval officer, while Lewis holds
the commission. That fixes three of tho
four returners, and all Sherman has got to
do now is to fix Cassnave, whose fidelity
to Sherman and Hayes has nearly made
him a bankrupt. He, too, will leave for
Washington in a day or too.
Mrs. Sherman, the General’s wife, has
written a letter in whioh she expressed
herself abont round dancing. She says
her soul revolts against it, that very
soop women of self-rospeot will blosh at
it, and thot public opinion will eventually
drive it out of society. She adds: “The
advocates of this dance have had their
own way long enough—absorbing all
entertainments—sneering upon and ridi
ouling those who quietly decline to par
ticipate—openly and constantly insinua
ting of those who deoliue it that they are
therefore evil-mindod, &o., or quoting
impudently and insinuatingly their
only wenpou, li Honi soil qai mal y
pense," and then throwing themselves in
men's arms to prove their own purity of
mind.”
The report of Justin McCarthy’s death
was probably owing to tbo faot that Tbos.
Francis McCarthy, n well-known London
journalist, diod very suddenly abont three

noino years, but at tho time of his death

but remained at tho office, doing a sick
friond’s work as well as his own. At a
few minutes boforo midnight he gavo in
his Inst nrtiolo. .Inst as thoy were empty
ing tho nrtiolo into the forms, at 2 a. m.,
ho died.
Mu. Smalley, in n letter to the New
York Tribune on tho political outlook in
Pennsylvania, frankly admits tho exist
onoo of a serious revolt in tho Republican
ranks, and intimates that tho breaoh is
likely to widen rather than diminish. He
says, too, that the labor movement is
likoly to injuro the Republicans more
than tho Democrats, who “are tho most
untrustworthy sort of bolters. Thon will
carry torches and hnrrnh for a third par
ty for weeks, and then, on election day,
finally voto tho old regular ticket.”

PARKER'S remorse
the escaped state treasurer of south
CAROLINA MAKES A SORROWFUL CONFES
SION—IMPORTANT DI^pLOSUBEH.
Chicago Times’ New York Telegram, Sept.4.
The World will print to-morrow a long
and detailed statement or confession
made by Niles G. Parker, ex-Stato Treas
urer of South Carolina, but at present
living in Jersey City, ill which lie makes
startling charges of corruption against
ex-Governors Moses, Chamberlain, Scott,
United States Senator Patterson, Finan
cial Agent Kimpton and othor members
of tho ring whioh plundered tbo Palmotto
State of millions. Parker frankly ac*
knowledges his own guilt in all this, sinco
it appears by his statement that most of
the stolen moneys were paid out by him
in his official capacity. He is now under
indictment, and professes his sorrow for
his crimes and readiness to go to Booth
Carolina for trial. His statement, if sub
stantiated, will confirm the former charges
against Patterson, and doubtless lead to
the indictment of Chamberlain. They
are corroborated by a voluminous array
of figures, dates, oiroamstances, etc., in
which the connection of ^ov. Chamber-
lain with the faudnlent issue of bonds
seems made clear. Parker’s motive for
making the confession is given by him*
self in bis refusal to be made the scape
goat for the crimes of his allies.
In the course of this confession and
arraignment of his ring partners, Mr.
Parker says: “I don’t wish to say any
thing whioh may appear like a persoual
attack upon Mr. Chamberlain, though I
acknowledge that I have been offended
by his treatment of me. I do object,
however, to being made the scape-gout of
the ring, and I am by no means williug
that Chamberlaiu and Kimpton should
foist off* any of their load upon my shoul
ders. I am tired of hearing what Parker
did, and how he ooted in this transaction,
and that when I knew that my share in
tho unquestionable doings of the ring,
from 18G8 to 1874, was no greater, to say
the least, than tho othor members with
whom I acted. During these six years
the corruption and peculation increased
yearly, and it is idle to attempt to palliate
or deny it. If the present investigation
in South Carolina is pushed, the extent
of the corruptiou will be laid bare, and
all who were parties to it will be brought
to judgment. I wish it to be understood
that I do not shrink from this investiga^
tiou. I desire, rather, that it be made as
thorough and searching as possible, and
I am ready to hold myself rasponsible for
my share in it.
“For Chamberlain and Kimpton to
deny that they were privy to what was
going on is simply ridiculous. Some
things undoubtedly Chamberlain had no
hand in directly, though they were done
directly under his nose, and he must
have known abont them. In other trans
actions his name did not appear, but
there oan be no question that he was con
cerned in some way. In other oases still
he roaped a direot benefit from his co-op
erations. Take the ease of the Marine
and River Phosphate Mining Company.
The ‘shady’ transactions connected with
the management of this company and the
bills lobbied through the Legislature for
its benefit are quite generally known.
The measures by whioh the interests of
its stockholders were subserved iu the
Legislature have been published in the
Charleston papers; but Chamborlaio’s
connection with it has not heretofore
been stated. The stook of the company
was owned largely by members of the
riog, and Chamberlain held one-
fifth of it. It was $500,000, I believe,
in all; so that Chamberlain's share of the
stook was $82,000. Tim Hnrley, Cham
berlain’s right hand man and the Treasu
rer of Charleston county, lobbied the
bills for its benefit through tho Legisla^
ture. Then there was the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad. The bills in oonneo-
tion with the railroad were notoriously
disreputable. The capital stock was held
in twelve shares. I think, of $25,000 each.
Scott, Neagle, Patterson, Chamberlain,
Cardoza, Kimpton, Hnrley, Crews and
myself were stockholders. I know, also,
that Chamberlain received $2,000 direct
for his connection with the transaction,
which I do not oare yet to make public.
It was the same transaction alluded to in
tho letter whioh Elliott read in the last
nominating convention. Ho roso in his
seat, brandishing this letter, and threat
ening to make its contents public. An
agreement was thereupon patched up be
tween him and Chamborlain,and he mado
tho least of his previous throats against
him.”
A cloud of saud which obscured the

Just before leaving Boston for Europe,
Prof. Graham Bell, of telephone fame,
married the daughter of Gardiner G. Hub

father, at the time of the visit of the Pos-
tal Commission and made many warm
friends here.
Mbs. Cady Stanton is said to have re
marked to some one who asked her if she
thought that girls possessed, as a gonoral
thing, the physical strength neoessary for
the wear and toar of a college course of

1,300 young men and lace them up, and

HAYES TRYING TO SHOW THAT HIS SOUTH*
EBN POLICY ORIGINATED WITH GRANT.
Washington, September 10.—Secretary
McCrary sent to-day to Judge Wost, of
Ohio, a letter written by Major Sniffon,
late secretary to Gen. Grant, addressed
to Packard, bearing date of March 1,
1877. This letter declares that Grant
would not furnish troops to support eith
er claimant, feeling that popular opin
ion would no longor sustain snch action.
This letter is published for tho purpose
of showing that this now polioy did not
originate with nayes. That an attempt
should be made to show this is
surprising,Jas Mr. Hayes is supposed
to pride himself upon his Southern
polioy, and has hoped to gain
enongh strength from it in the South
to resist any Republican intimidation.
It is a well known fact, however, that at
the time tho solution of tbo Presidential
muddle was being subjected to every sort
of trading intrigne, great pressure was
brought to bear npon Grant to get him to
take tho responsibility of withdrawing the
troops from the South. It was an essen
tial part of the bargain, and Grant eon
sented to moke the order. How this
order was suppressed in the offioe of the
Secretary of War is a matter of history
so that this letter of Major Sniffen con
veys no new knowledge of the actual sit
uation. The production of this letter as
a justification of what Mr. Hayes was
forced to do as part of the price he had
to pay to enter the White House, is ab
surd. It was given out by Secretary Mc
Crary, who is opposed to Hayes’ Southern
policy. It could hardly have been sent,
however, to Ohio without Hayes request
ing it. _
imnlNter Fowler * Stormy Interview
with President Dias of Mexico.
From tbo Boston Post.]
Washington, September 9.—The State
Department is in receipt of a letter from
Minister Foster at Mexico, giving infor
mation that makes our relations with
Mexico look even more unfriendly than
ever. This letter sets forth that Diaz is
exceedingly displeased with the instruc
tions sent to Gen. Ord with reference to
pursuing Mexioan marauders across the
Rio Grande, and donbly so since he has
been advised by military officers that
several suoh incursions have already
been made. Minister Foster recites
a stormy interview he had with
Diaz concerning the relations between
the United States and his Government,
wherein he, the Minister,
given broadly to understand that
the reciprocal relations between
the two Governments had been vi
olated by the United States, and that if
some modification in existing military or
ders to the commanding officer on the
Rio Grande were not soon forthcoming.
Foster could paok his baggage aud return
home, and that Mexico was willing to
break off diplomatic intercourse with this
Government. There is reason to believe
that Seoretary Evarts will endeavor to
bridge over the misunderstanding which
now evidently exists, not in a way, how
ever, to temporize with Diaz,but to main
tain that if he is nnable to restrain the
thieving propensities of his subjects, this
Government, in taking the matter in its
own hands, is doing a service to Mexioo,
by removing from it an inonbns whioh
sooner or later, must be put down by the
United States or Mexico.

'■’lie Truth of History.
Some days since wo copiod a lettor
writtou by Mr. Henry W. Grady from
Atlanta to tho Oinoinnatti Enquirer, in
whioh alluding to Goueral Toombs’ can
didacy for the Senate he said, among
othor things, ‘lie will make a lino race.
He has uover beeu beaten.’ We statod
that in this assertion Mr. Grady war mis
taken; that ex-Gov. H. V. Johnson, des
feated General Toombs for the Confeder
ates State Senate in 18G3. A very old aud
equally honored citizen of Augusta called
upon us to say that wo were iu error—
that Gonoral Toombs was never dofoated
for tho Senate,but once declined to serve
after being eleotod. Tho Atlanta Consti
tution of Tuesday Bays:
Wo presume that Mr. Grady intended
to Ray that Gen. Toombs had never been
beaten before the people. Such appears
to be the faot. Geu. Toombs has been in
politics forty years, ahd during all that
time has never been defeated boforo the
people. That, at least, is our recollection;
but if the editor of the Chronicle has facts
whioh go to prove the contrary, of course
wo stand corrected.
As Mr. Grady wrote of Gen. Toombs’
candidacy for the Senate, and said ho had
never been defeated, of course the natural
presumption was that he had never been
defeated for the Senate or for any other
position. By referring to the files of the
Chronicle for 18G3 we fiud that onr state
ment was correct. The Senatorial election
took place November 24th, 18(53, and the
balloting was as follows:
First Ballot—H. V. Johnson, 79; Rob
ert Toombs, 43; John P. King, 29; L. J.
Gartroll, 31; Howell Cobb, 5; Chas. J.
Jenkins, 4; Henry It. Jackson, 1; total,
192; neoessary to a choice, 97.
Second Ballot—John Ron, 92; Toombs,
47; King, 24; Gartroll, 19; Cobb, 4; H. V.
M. Miller, 4; Jackson, 1; Jenkins, 1; total,
192; neoessary to a ohoioe, 97. Judge
King’s name was withdrawn.
Third Ballot—Johnson, 115; Toombs,
51; Gartroll, 15; Cobb, 3; Miller, 3; Jen
kins, 4. Jaokson, 1; total, 192; necessary
to a ohoioe, 97. On this ballot Johnson
was nominated.
It will thus be seen that we were in the
right as to our statement. At the same
time the defeat detracts nothing from the
fame of General Toombs. There are few
men who have spent forty years iu active
political life, and during that time en
countered but one reverse of fortune.—

The Mexican Nltnntlon.
Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial.]
Washington, September 10.—Peoplo
with Mexioan sohemes, who want to see
that country preoipitated into a war with
the United States, are prophesying to
night that the rooent movement of 1,500
troops from Vera Cruz to the Rio Grande
border has beeu made by Diaz with the
intention of satisfying the revolutionary
spirit at the Mexican Capital, who feel
incensed at the instructions given to
Gon. Ord. They assert that with suoh a
general indignation at his Capital, he
would not havo dared to send troops to
tho border with the open and avowed
purpose of helping tho Americans carry
those obnoxious ordors into effoot. Thcso
notions are generally discredited by Stato
Department officials and army mon
hero. It is thought Diaz fully
rooognizing tho nooossity of diplo
matic relations with thiB Government,
has taken tho reins in his hand, and in
tends to force tho issue on tho revolu
tionists and have tho question settlod
ono way or tho other. This present
movomeut toward tho Rio Grande is sig
nificant. No President of Mexioo has
ventured to draw troops from his Capi
tol and send them direct to the border
since Santa Anna dispatched his regi
ment to moot Geu. Taylor on the Rio
Grnndo, and it argues that Diaz has
plonty of nerve aud independence.
While Diaz, Lerdo and Iglesias were in
the field together the Mexioan army
numbered fifty thousand men, now |it
is down to a peace footing of sixteen
thousand, only two thousand of this num
ber being perfectly armed and equipped.
It is plain, therefore, that in detailing
fifteen hundred men to the distant bor
der, Diaz is presuming on the popularity of
his Government with the people at large.

Bell, who figured as a witness in the in
vestigation of the 8t. Louis Whiskey
King, was employed by Grunt to go to
St. Louis to steal documents from Dis
trict Attorney Dyer, in the interest of
Gen. Babcock. He was placed by Zaoh
Chandler npon the rolls of the Interior
Department, as odo of its agents, so that
his expenses could be secured. It was
Bell, also, who was intrusted with the
