Mr. Bivens, fas oeen sued by
Francis G Marvin for a child’s part

Marvin, the plan.iff in the suit, al¬
leges chat he is the son of Dr. Mar¬
vin by a former wife. He sets out
that, Dr. Marvin was divorced from
his mother in 1872, and that she
had been legally married to him
:no years before that event. He

FONGKKSMONAL NEWS.
/fyflin our rcijuUt* Conwoondent,
Wasjiinoton, April 2d, 1891.
President Cleveland was very
much surprised when he learned,
from a local paper, that there wore
people ignorant enough to suppose
it to he his duty to issue some sort
of a proclamation in connection
with the coming ofCoxey’a so-call¬
ed army. Every person of suffi¬
cient intelligenc e to rend the Con¬
stitution of the United States should
know that the president has no
more authority to issue a pncla
oration concerning the coming of
these men into the District of C >
luoibia than he had to issue a proc
lamotion dealing with their start¬
ing from the state of Ohio, or their
passage through the states of Penn¬
sylvania, West Virginia and Mary¬
land. The District of Columbia
has a legally constituted govern¬
ment, just as those states have, and
until that government shall notify
the president of its inability to deal
with the expected unwelcome visit¬
ors the president has no authority
to take any action, even were he
disposed to think any necessary.
The Coxeyites will find when they
arrive in Washington that they are
neither to lie lionized nor mads
martyrs of. As long as they vio¬
late no law they will be let alone,
just as other visitors are. If they
violate the law they must expect
no mercy for they will get none
They are coming unasked and upon
a fool’s errand. They will find the
standing between them arid their
programme, so far as marching up
to the capitol and holding a meet¬
ing upon the steps of that building
is concerned. They will also find
that Washington and thesmround
mg country is a mighty poor place
lor a lot of men to be stranded
without /noney or a plentiful sup¬
ply of provisions. No trouble is
expected from the Coxeyites prop¬
er, but from information receis’ed
by ihe police it is believed that
they will be joined when near this
city by a large number of criminals
who hope to profit by any trouble
that may arise. The authorities
are fully prepared for them.
Another good republican is in
trouhle with Uncle Sam. Tim over
said republican being “shy” just
$3,841.01, in his accounts. The
party referred to is Theodore Dav¬
enport. of Connecticut, who was
disbursing cleark of the Post Office
department under the last adminis¬
tration. Mr. Davenport was re¬
moved last year and a committee
appointed to go over his accounts.
His stealings were done through
overcharging the amounts he paid
out for supplies or work done for
the department His bondsmen,
who are perfectly solvent, have been
notified to pay the amount men¬
tioned above, so the government
will lose nothing. Mr. Davenport
is also liable to criminal prosecu¬
tion, but his rxact whereabouts is
not at present known. This is the
second republican defalcation in
this office within a comparatively
short period. The first one being
Captain Burnside, who was one of
the swells of Washington for a long
period. He got mote than $40,000
and by shrewd management went
to St. Elizabeth’s hospital for the
insane, where he still is, instead of
to the penitentiary.
Senator Gordon quite unexpected¬
ly sprung the question with which
the house committee on Banking
and Currency has been wrestling
for a long time upon the senate by
the introduction of a resolution in¬
structing the committee on Finance
to report a bill repealing the tax on
state bank currency. The resolu¬
tion was referred to the Finance
committee, a majority of which are
believed to be opposed to tUe repeal
of the tax.
The appointment of ex-governor
Jarvis to fill the unexpired term of
the lata Senator Vance, was very
well received here, where Senator
Jarvis has many personal friends,
among the warmest of whom is
president Cleveland. The North
Carolina delegation in congress
have noibifig but good words for
the new senator.
The democratic party at large
will hear some good news from the
senate in the near future. More
cannot be said without violating
confidence, but it can be stated
that it relates to the harmonious
passage of a tariff bill by the votes
of every democratic senator.
The Pennsylvania manufacturers
who paid out good money to send
seven or eight hundred people, un¬
der the high sounding title of dele¬
gates from the National Workmen’s
Protective Tariff League, to Wash¬
ington to protest against the tariff
bill, made a very poor investment.
The protest was very tame indeed
and did not create even a ripple at
the capitol. If sent by mail it
would have beer* equally effective.
Hali’oitbe ‘‘delegates” showed their
interest in the widely advertised
street patade by not taking part in
it, preferring to spend tbeir time in
sight-seeing, not knowing when
they would again h»ve an upportu
to come to Washington without
cost to the ruse'ves.
Toe new quorum counting rule
having deprived the republicans of
tin house ol their favorite occupa¬
tion—filibustering by refusing to
vote when there was no democratic
quorum present —they have now
started a new way of retarding bus¬
iness, by trying to stir up bitter
political discussion over unimpor¬
tant items in the regular appropri¬
ation bills, 'I'-iov wis! to prevent
ati early adjournment of Congress,

‘‘Woman’s greatest paradise is in
the interior of Sumatra.
The women there own all the
wealth, and it is the constant aim
of men to enrich their wives.
They have a law by which a
man’s property cannot be inheiited
by his children, but must go to his
parents, while that belonging to his
wife descends to the offspring ; and,
of course, they got round that law
by putting ail tn ir wealth i.,to the
hands of the women.
Each man has but one wife, and
each wife one husband.
They are Mohammedans, al¬
though they are monogamous both
in theory and fact.
A mao may divorce his wife if he
chooses, but he must allow her to
retain the property in her possess¬
ion.
Divorces are not frequent—per¬
haps for the reason that a man does
not live in the same house with his
wife.
He has his home apart, and vis¬
its her only in the evening, like a
lover calling on his mistress.
When the children grow up, the
boys are taken away from their
mother’s home as soon as they are
old enough, but the girls stay with
her until they marry.
When that event takes place an
addition is built onto the mother’s
establishment, and the newly mar-
ried daughter makes that her home.
When a man dies, his widow
plants a post in front of her partic¬
ular door in the family mansion
and hangs a flag on it.
Not until the wind has torn the
flag to shreds can she accep^ a sec¬
ond lover’s advances.
What is wanted in Sumatra more
than anything else, is a meterial for
ilags that will be more susceptible
to the action of the elements than
anything they now have.
The women are very beautiful,
good figures, exceedingly fine com¬
plexions and bright eyes.
They dress most elegantly and
extravagantly.
They have both silver and gold
mines on the island, and these peo¬
ple havetsufficient knowledge of the
arts to s j elt aud draw the ingots
into fine wire, which they weave
into cloth for dresses.—Exchange.”
We hear much complaint against
the present mode ot the County
School Commissioner’s of dealing
with the teachers of the county.
The method is going to be inves¬
tigated and we believe the law will
not sustain the commissioner’s in
the seemiiig unfair plan adopted
of paying teachers according to the
grade and not according to the av¬
erage attendance, as has been the
rule heretofore.
The Georgia Southern and Flori
da rail-rood is doing a great work,
not only for the immediate section
through which it passes, but for
the states of Georgia and Florida.
The road is offering very superior
advautages to capitalist and labor
ers who are seeking homes and in
vestments.
