Another Itald on tbo Surplus.
The last pension bill provides for ovary
man at the North whoever hoard a drum
beat, his widow and his obildren. The
grand army of bonnty jumpers, sntlen, de
serters and franda baa been pensioned.
Attention will now bo devoted to the civil
lilt
The 'Washington Star thus notices tbo
latest proposed raid:
“It ii reported that tho friends of Mr.
Orain’a bill for pensioning civil service em
ployes of long standing have already re-
oeived assurances of its favorable consider,
ation by the committees of both homes;
bat the probability of a vigorous opposi
tion from spoilsmen on the floor make it
not tho loss desirable that popular senti
ment ahonld be roused in support of so ex
cellent a measure. The pay of onr leaser
civil servants is not princely, at best; and
the most scrupulous economy hardly ena
ble! them to support their families in com
fort, educate their children and lay enough
monoy by to make them independent
of aisiatance in their doclinlog years. Yet
upon their fidelity and their efflolenoy their
fellow-citizens lean every day in the calm
aasnranee that (heir trust will not bo be
trayed, It ia not heroism alone, by any
means, that entitles a man to the com (der
ation of his countrymen. The Crain bill
not only deiorrcs support as r lt ia, bnt it
might even be brosdeoed by decreasing tbs
number of year, requisite to obtain a pen'
•ion.”
The civil pension bill ia part and parool
-of the civil service reform which wo have
Imported from England and are attempting
to engraft upon thia government. If tbo
present civil service reform becomes fixed,
the civil pension list will follow.
In the face of theso propositions it looks
like folly to be harraasing the country about
the reduction of tha surplus or taxation.
Tha surplus must go down and taxation

A Revolt Among tho Oonviot*.
Any reforence to eonviota in Georgia at
this time most command immediate atten
tion. For days a romor has been floating
abont as to trouble among the Dade oounty
ooel mines. There was a mutiny there not
long smeo.
Bo far as the publio has been advised,
slowly and by pleoemekl a oonviot haa been
killed, a keeper wonnded, and tha rumors
aro all mutinous.
What ia needed, nay demanded, ia feet,
sold and immediate taels.
The impression has been sought to bo
mads that this Dade county oonviot camp ia
the beat managed one. This may be true.
If true, and the reports as to
thia camp are also true, the discip
line of the other camps must
be in a fearful condition. Tbs pnhlio should
not be startled by troubles and ontbreaka
in any of the convict camps. These are
likely to occur, where bad men are huddled
together to undergo punishment tor orime.
What concerns the public, is the studied
concealment of facta, the disinclination to
let the people know the real causes of the
trouble.
The people are at present looking to
these convict camps, and they are not
going to beqnieted until they secure bot
tom facts, in regard to lessees and convicts,
and it may be well not to forget this

Usee's a fact stronger than an argument
in favor of open seaaiona of the Senate.
The Senate has oonfirmed the nomination
of Samnei D. Leavitt for collector of cus
toms at Paaaamaqnoddy, Mains. While
the nomination was pending before the
oemmittee on commerce, tho chairman,
Senator McMillan, received a letter marked
'Confidential” from a “chief of diriaion 1
in the Treasury Department, attacking
Leavitt'a character. This chief of division,
after stating that tha man whom Leavitt
war appointed to succeed was removed be
cause be edited a Republican paper,charged
that Leavitt had been convicted, between
I860 and 1863, “of the crime of aning'
gling." After assuring Senator McMillan
that tha truth of thia charge conid esally
be proved, the writer concludes with
am in the government employ yon will eee

A Rambling Contemporary Interviewed.
In what purports to be a reply to a abort
editorial in the Teleouapu onr esteemed
bnt illiberal contemporary, the Cnthbert
Liberal, plainly invites us to diseuts all at
once tbe tariff qnsition, (be internal reve
nue system, (he Republican party, tbe ser
vices of Senator Jca. E, Brown, the posi
tion of Samnei J. Randall, the political
valneof Uncle Rilly Morrison, tbe true
policy of a great and good journal, tbe
iniquity of tbe whisky ring, tbe political
pulchritude of Hon. H. G. Turner and true
Democracy. We shall decline to do this
oven at the risk of earning
soorn of the Libera),
partly because where our yonng oontro-
veraionaiist rushes in we, like the angels,
fear to tread, and partly because of tbe
amount of treading required.
Rat before we go further we beg leave to
state that an early issue of the Teliobai-h
will disease this proposition; is prolapsus
the intellect accompanied by brain vomit.
Instead of bring a rare disease, common to
free trade editors?
The Txuoiura expressed satisfac
tion at tbe defeat of Wm. R. Mor
rison, not at tha election of a Re'
pnblican to ancoeed him He has proved
himself unable to lead, he is incapable
following. The month piece of
wing of the party pronounces
him, as a party leader,
flat failure. He is an extremist of the wont
type, and assuming that Macanlay was not
mistaken when he termed all good legisla
tion (ha result of compromise,Mr. Morrison
would not only have bean useless in Con
gress, save for his mere vote, bnt a danger
ous quantity, for there is not a trace of
compromise in his whole makenp. We
would have preferred to ace him suc
ceeded by a Democrat, bnt the party, and
what is better, the whole oonntry, is safer
with even a Republican in his plaoe.
The Txleohapb did not pretend to quote
the language of the Demoer&tio platform
bnt it will do to cow. “In making a reduc
tion in taxes, it is not proposed to it jure
any domestio industries, bnt rathor to pro
moto their healthy growth. From tho foun
dation of this government the taxes collect
ed at the custom houses have been the chief
sources oi Federal revenue; each thoy rnnst
continue to be. Moreover many industries
have come to rely upon legislation for sue-
oessful continuance, so that every change
of the law must at every step be regardful
of the labor and capital thus involved. Tho
process of reform mast be anbjeot in exe
cution to the plaiu dictates of justice. All
taxation shall be limited to the require
ments of an economical government The
necessary rednotion in taxation
can and must be effected with
ont depriving American labor
of the ability to compete successfully with
foreign labor and without imposing lower
ratos of duty than will be ample to cover
any increased coat of production which may
exist from tbe higher rate of wages paid in
this oonntry."
Onr Cnthbert contemporary is given the
above as onr anthorlty for stating that
'ample" protection to the indnstriei of this
oonntry was promised. We were not so very
far “off tho trick” after all. And upon that
platform Samnei J. Randall had the right to
stand and refuse oven to consider measures
that violated the promises therein contained
measures whioh are now everywhere,
among even Morrison's friends, admitted to
bo unwise and impoliUo. The admission, on
tho part of the Conrier-Jonrnal, then and
now the mouthpiece of the Morriaou wing
of the party, that his measures were mere
makeshifts, ia a oomplete vindication of
HamuelJ. Randall, and despite the expla
nations, arguments, ridicule and toploftical
straggles of that journal tor three weeks
to get away from tha foot, tha admission
atill remains. And if the Conrier-Jonrnal
haa not been able to break down this de
fenae, we fear our Cnthbert contemporary

well knows of. Tariff sentiment at the
South haa grown quite aa rapidly and mnch
more solidly than many of the booms so
mnch talked of. Bnt a few days since, a
prominent politician of Georgia, who haa
filled high positions in the State and national
governments, expressed to the writer Lis
conviction, that with tbo negro ont of the
way, Georgia would sustain the principle of
protection. Mr. Burwell seems to think
that protection at the South must look for
shelter rad support from the old Whigs.
There are too few of them, and the old
Whig party, ss a party, has not been rais
ing young Whigs these many years.
Bnt the yonng men of the Booth, those
now about to take control of pnblio affairs,
will attend to protection, no matter by
what name they may be called.
It is plain that tbe practical disintegra
tion of tbe South will take plaoe in connec
tion with economic issues. We will divide
upon fiscal and revenue measures. Mr.
Burwell seems to have overlooked tha ne
gro m connection with this subject. Tbe

We present in another column a latter
from William M. Burwell, Esq., of Vir>
ginla, addressed to Judge William D. Kel
ley, of Philade'phla.
Mr. Burwell is a native of Virginia,
large experience and study. He has been
really in pnblio life for many yean, several
of which were spent as the editor-in-chief
of DcBows' Review. It ia not at all risky
to say that as a statistician Mr. Bnrwall has
not a euperior in this country. Ha is
singularly independent thinker, talker, and
writer, and has held office under a Repub
lican administration in Louisiana, without
compromising his social position in the
slightest degree. The readers of the Txlx.
oeai-h know who Judge Kelley ia.
It will be seen that Mr. BnrwtU is inter
ested in the spread of information as to tbo
tariff in Ihe South. Not that it will inure
to his individual benefit, but that he belie ns
it to be the rightful policy of the South
under her changed conditions. In this
more people agree with him than Mr. Bor-

ordered my enmmission to inane after r,
ceiving tbe opinion, it was too lata to reach
the Senate.
Gov. Gordon urged Gov, McDaniel to
appoint ms, and advised me to go home and
root easy, that I wonld certainly get tie ap
pointment. After bio inauguration beset
tire following Monday for shearing, when
Mr. E. G. bimmona, Representative from
Snmter oounty, submitted a brief trying to
ehowmy|ineligibility. I believe the brief was
written by Judge Fort, On tbe following
Wednesday Senator W. E. Smith and I
went before Gov. Gordon and he promised
with emphasis that if I were eligible I
should be appointed. He insisted on a re
ply to the brief submitted by the other side
and promised (bat after receiving it bo
wonld consult Attorney-General Anderson,
at the opinion then before bim expressed
grove doubts. This ia acopy of the opinion;
“The question is not entirely free from
difficulty, bnt my opinion is that the qual-
ifieetio!! ?l»ns* in th« special Conntv Conrt
not for Lee county is repealed by the gen-
oral law relating to County Courts. See
title to general aot, on page 132,
acts of 1878-9.” He also had before him
tbe written opinion of Judges D. A. Va&on,
D. II. Pope and 0. B. Wooten, indorsed by
Senator Smith, showing my eligibility. I
then got an elaborate opinion from Jndgo
Bleckley, showing my eligibility, which I
submitted to Governor Gordon. Governor
Gordon promised to get a further or fuller
opinion from Attorney-General Anderson,
if bo did, I oak bim if it expressed a grave
doubt as to my eligibility; if be did
not, where is the gravo doubt expressed ?
My appointment was urged by tbe Sen
ator from onr district, the Representative
being my partner, in courtesy to Judge Wat
son I requested him to be neutral. My pe
tition wss signed unanimously by the bar
of Albany and by letters by a portion of
tbe Amerions bar, and by four county offi
cers and a majority of every district, save
Smithville, and out of eourtesy to Judge
Watson, I declined to have it sent there.
Is it usual forjudges of the Superior Court
and Congressmen to give direction in such
matters ? Governor Gordon intimates that
Judge Watson's influence gave him G2 out
of G3 votes from Choke’s oistrict; but I say
there were not 30 votes cast from that dis
trict Watson's own district gave Genera!
Gordon but a bare majority, and thsre
was not a Gordon mun at tbe
joint discussion from that district, not even
•Iudge Watson, whose position was then
on*ult-rod doubtful. Uy district cast more
Gordon votes tbau Watson's, thongh it has
only abont one one-third ss many voters.
I doubt if Judge Wffisou caused a single
rote to be cast for General Gordon, and
challenge proof to the oontrary. Now in
conclusion. General Gordon urged my ap
pointment npon Governor McDaniel. Gov-
ernor McDaniel wav satisfied as to my elig
ibility after receiving tbo Attornoy-Gener,
si s opinion and ordered my commission-
bnt too late. Yet Governor Gordon, with
ail thia and additional ic-gal opinions, and
dirilngutihcd legal opiniona, refuted it I
asked no favors of General Gordon when he
was here, and bad no promlets to exact
when he would have rather had Lee's vote
than ten counties later on. Can Jndgo
Watson or his friends aay aa mnch? I

New Mod* of Identifying Prisoners.
Tbe latest method of identifying prisoners
wbieh has been introduced into France by
M. Alphonse Bertillon, and which is now
successfully practiced, not only in the chief
French prisons, but in Bosnia and Japan aa
well, ia tha exact measurement of the pris
oner on his arrival at tha jail. HU waist,
the length and width of the head, the left
middle finger, the left foot, the onthstretched
arms, the three other fingers of the left hand,
tha left arm from tha elbow to tbo wrist,
rad the length and width of tha ears are
measured, and the color of the eyes, and
any peculiarities are noted down. A
photograph ia also immediately taken,
and by these meant the many mis
takes wbieh have been made by trusting
to a photographer only are avoided. The
fact that daring tbe two yean tinea thU
mods has been in operation 82G habitual
criminals, who presented themselves under
an asinmed name, have been identified in
Francs, shows that M. Bertillon'a method U
superior to any other. It U listed that ha
bitual criminals, particularly English pick
pockets, an so convinced of the infallibili
ty of the method, that they will on no ao-

Colonel Shelley (Mexiotn Jot) was one of
the earliest American settlers in old Chi
huahua, locating a large ranoh in tha Hauov
valley. He imported the first Jerseya and
Durham cattle Into the oonntry, and had n
nourishing ranch when the moat terriblo
trial of bis life took place. “One day I was
ont on a solitary prowl among the Sierra
Madre mountains,” said Colonel Shelley,
the other day, “and met two white men
and a Mexican, and was invited to their
qnsrtem. 1 was just making an interest

eqttaT to the volume of blood I wasted, and
at tha end of that time I waa assigned to
crayon and oil work of tho estal lisbment,
for some time arrived, and on going into the
reoeption room took a seat by tbe fire and
began to rend tbe morning Tklsokaph.
Soon afterwaid A lim came in end tbe
Professor asked if Mr. Pagh was np. Adam
replied that be did not think he was, and
went to the adjoining room to wake bim.
When Adam saw tbe color of Mr. Pugh's
hands he sppreebed the bed and tnen
quickly rotnrned to tbe Professor and said
that Air. Pngh was looking very strangely.
The Professor then arose and on going into
tbe room saw tnnt Adam had cause for aucb
a remark. It was then discovered that Mr.
Pugh waa dead. It did not take long for
the news of the death to fly over the city.
Coroner Hodnett at once empannelod s
jury, with Mr. T. B. Blackeheur foreman.
Professor Bairongbs end Adam testified to
tbo facts above given. Mr. Sol Hoge, the
drnggist, testified to filling for Air. Pngh a
prescription given Mr. Hcge some time ago
for indigestion. Tbs bottle containing this
medicine, with one or two doees gone, was
fonnd on the -mantelpiece in the room.
Adam said further that Air. Pugb bad taken
some ether and sugar, tbe first
taken from tbe chemicals up stairs,
and the latter purchased from Mrs.
Machold. Dr. J. A. Etheridge was
called in and gave it as bis opinion that Mr.
l’ngh died of congestion of both brain and
lungs. The jury was satisfied that he came
to his death from natural causes and so
rendered a verdict.
It seems that Air. Pagh had been com
plaining for throe or fonr days of a severe
cold. All during Friday be said be said ho
was coffering with a burning sensation in
hi? ehest, and eeverai times during tbe day
he went into his room and laid down npon
his hod, groaning with tho pain. Ho was
in Manger’s music room* in the early put
of the night, and abont 9 o'clock was
in the publio library. While looking over
