Tna deliberation of the administration

“There are a number of Beyard Democrats
in tbit country that haven’t yet been pro

This from tbe Richmond Dispatch
aboold settle tbe eword controversy:
••Bcwalo, LrtHiA Breixos. Va„ March 11,
1681.—General D. 8. Grant, New York: Slr.-
lns friendly discussion between severs] gen
Ueusen of Northern sod Southern proclivities
as to tbs ‘truth of history,’ a question arose
whether General Lee, at the surrender, actual
ly tendered snd you received bis sword.
“U was mntnaliy agreed that yon should be
written to for a decision.
“Ttaero is no idle cariosity or detire for no
toriety in regard to this rtqasaL and a reply
beat yon would be blsbfy appreciated.
"Very respectfully, r. D. Jzrrtrir.
Geo. Great replied u follows, on the bottom
of the same sheet of paper: .
"General Bedeau'a book, now fn the bands
of the printer, will glee the exact truth of tho
matter reftnod to la this letter. Them wae
bo demand made for General Lee’s sa ord, and
no leader of 11 offered. U. A Grant.'
About the Oflfoee.
Mr. Cleveland's position is thus
summed up: “Those who are compe
tent, and have not been offensively
partisan, will be permitted to remain
in office until the term for which they
were appointed shall expire. They
who have made public office a private
perquisite, or political instrument, in
stead of a public trust, will be turned
out ns soon as proof of their miscon
duct is furnished. This course will
also be taken where a public officer is
shown to have been incapable or dis-
I lamest.”
Tho public has not yet been afforded
hi example of what Mr. Cleve
land may term and consider an “offen
sive partisan.’’
It is to be presumed, however, that
this charge and its proof must be given
to Mr. Cleyeland, just as a charge of
dishonesty and incompetency against
an official must be forwarded iu order
to receive attention. It is a well-known
and accepted fact that all of the Federal
officials of the South, of any importance,
were appointed with a view to their
politics and to their partisan influence
and activity. Therefore, if this may
be considered to embody offensive par
tisanship, they Bhould all go, and right
speedily.
It is impossible to hope for good and
honest government here, if these
officers are kept in position.
But Georgia is confronted with a sin
gular and grave difficulty, and it may
embarrass Mr. Cleveland. When the
Presidential elections were not on,
these Federal officials, black and white,
were engaged in the business of crush
ing out the intelligence, the virtue
and worth of the State. They were,
takgn into a coalition witii the worst
element of the Democratic party, and
were used to put down and to hold
down the best element.
Neither of the Senators could have
possibly obtained his seat, save lor the
active exertions and votes of these
Federal officials. Will Mr. Cleveland
consider this offensive partisanship, is
a highly interesting question to the
honest people of the State.
Some of those Federal officials have
assisted the poor kin of coalitionists in
various ways, and for this and other
services expect to be rewarded. They
do not expect to be turned
ont, but if they aro compelled
turn loose tie highest
places, they hope to be kept in some
lower one. Bat for promises and as
surances of this character,the coalition
in Georgia could not have been success
ful. Is it to continue in power? If cit
izens send on proofs of partisanship
or incompetency and dishonesty, and
they are met by counter-statements
from the two Senators and the coali
tion, who is to be believed ? In the case
of tire Rome, N. Y., postmaster Sir.
Cleveland himself has shown how in
dorsements are manufactured.
He says: “The fact that I have be
fore me documents signed by the resi
dents of the city where this postmas
ter is located, and wiio belong to both
political parties, asserting tiicir entire
confidence in his honesty and fidelity,
demonstrates the unfortunate facility
with which such papers may be obtain
ed and gives rise to an unpleasant sus
picion touching a too prevalent stand
ard of political honesty.”
The conduct of the Senate in refusing
to act upon appointments has' given its
party friends new heart, as may be
seen In tho defiance of the Rome post
master and the pension agont at
Chicago.
The Republicans in the Senate aro
under deep obligations to ono of onr
Senators in the Speer matter. The
other Senator is under deep obligations
to the Republicans in Georgia.
So far the Georgia Senators
have seemed to have fall
sway with Mr. Cleveland
and bis cabinet. If this is to continue
the reasonable alarm will he raised
tirat the exodus of one rascal will only
he the signal (or the entree of another.
Really this is quite an interesting
(uestion, and white wo would not be
understood os hurrying Mr. Cleveland
and Ids advisers, Georgia would liko to
enjoy the spectacle of a jest case.
should turn his attention to the widow.
Queen Victoria has been the subject of
much newspaper scribbling of a similar
character.
After a suitable period of menrning,
it has always been in order to joke
widows about remarrying. They al
ways get indignant at first, hut the
most of them generally become recon
ciled to it, and the majority of them
marry if the right man comes along,
irrespective of age and family incum-
I'ances. Bailie Ward, the once great
belle, has just married for tho fourth
time at the romantic age of 58
years. Shakspeare has pictured
.ady Annie being wooed by a
deformed dwarf, and the murderer
of her husband during a halt in the
funeral procession, and some song
writer has caught on to the general
practice by writing about widows
riding from the funeral and winking
the men." The “special correspon
dent” must have his little joke and he
is compelled to write something, even if
lie, or eiee starve. Most people would
prefer to see the “special correspond
ent” Btarve, but he fattens on the feed
hich wonid starve anybody outside of
charity hospital. The widow Gar
field is too touchy. She is rich and
her children are out of the way. This
is a goodly sight to the bereaved and
uxorious shepherd of a rural flock, and
these fellows are very dangerous to the
vows of widows.
It’s nobody’s business if Mrs. Gar
field should get married. It is
naughiy for the “special cor
respondent” to refer to it,
but the public is not interested in it.
They only know her as the true and
devoted wife, and the widow who has
paid due respect to her husband’s
memory. If she desires to break the
loneliness of her life, they will wish
her success and happiness. The sly
old widowers will hardly be diarour-
aged by the indignation of herpub-
lished card. They know that many
women mean yes when they say no.
There are plenty of men as good in all
respects as the late Mr. Garfield.
The elder Mr. Weller but gave ex
pression to his own and human ex
perience, and the misfortune of Mr.
Pickwick, when he counselled his
hopeful son Sammy to “beware of tie
vidders.”
She Won't.
The newspaper reports to the effect
that Mrs. Garfield Was about to marry
again has induced her to publish this
rather tart letter:
This cruel rumor, which irems to have been
afloat tor two or three mouth?, did not reach
:«till three deys ago. Nothing that haa ever
been said shout mi has to hurt and offeudt.1

To me It reems Juit u much in lnault to be

think me capable of being falae to hu memory
eeema like being regarded crlminaL A digni
fied dental by my friaada, I ruppoae, can do no
barm. BtlU it buna me to feel that any denial
la needed.
As Mrs. Garfield is enjoying the
pleasure of notoriety in various ways,
it hardly looks exactly seemly in her to
fly at the newspaper reporters with so
much vim. She is enjoying a large
fortune. Her husband’s grave
guarded by a detachment of United
Staten troops. Funds are being raised
to build a monument to his memory,
and Congreaa has been opportnned to
aid in the establishment of a Garfield
hospital. Mr. Cleveland lias specially
invited James and Henry Garfield
dine with him. He will hardly take
such liberty with any other American
youths. When these ixryg go to play
baseball or take holiday, it is always
chronicled in the press of the country,
Mrs. Garfield has been sued for running
over a woman with her carriage, and
the world has been informed of it.
These privileges all come from the fact
that Mr. Garfield was Assassinated.
There was nothing else about the man,
his character or career, that could have
produced it. It is not strange, then,
that an iteration of these facts becom
ing stale, the “(pedal correspondent”
Our Diplomats.
The Charleston News and Courier is
disposed to review the list of our diplo
mats. It says:
It Is not generally known, perhaps, that
Georgia Is entitled to tho credit of threo for
eign minions instead of two. The minion to
1'ogote (United Btates of Colombia] bss been
flllod for MTeral years by Mr. William Bcruggi,
Georgia Republican, who has apparently
boon overlooked by tho prewut administra
tion, and by the newipspors, In making up
their record of the honors conferred upon the
Cracker State.
According to the NewB nnd Courier
Georgia cannot bo credited with one.
bolds that General Lawton is labor
ing under political disabilities and can
not go to Russia. If this bo true, Gen
eral Jackson is in a similar predica
ment, and admits it. Tho Memphis
Avalanche publishes this special from
Chattanooga:
In an Interview Ocn. Henry R. Jackson, of
Georgia, the newly appointed minuter to
Mexico, listed that be Is under the same dis
abilities as Gen. Lawton, recently appointed
mlnliter to Ruisls, baying been In the service
the United Btstei previous to the war, snd,
fact, at the time he Joined tbe Confederacy
be was in the diplomatic service.
Oen. Jackson states that In order not to era-
barraii the President he pas notified him that
the appointment U subject to his order. The
Beuate bss confirmed the appointment, but ho
doei not wUh to accept the duties of the office
nntll the question ol hU disabilities has been
passed upon.
Bogota Bill Scruggs is credited to
Georgia. Bill is an .East Tennessean
whom Bragg ran out of his lines and
who lodged in Atlanta. He is a very
tough citizen, but has managed to hold
office for several years under Republi
can rule. IIo was the first man in
Georgia who advocated negro auf-
(rage publicly, and daring the
last campaign, when he thought
the issue doubtful, advocated the dis
franchisement of the negro. There ore
very few negroes that aro not better
men than Bill Scruggs. After Speer
had been poshed through the Senate
by Joe Brown, assisted bj D. W. Voor-
ltees, Arthur in the last days of the
session managed to get Bill Scruggs
through.
Of course Mrs. Bayard wilt net long
permit Bill to disgrace this country
abroad, and so Georgia is not altogeth
er bo rich in active diplomats os she
may seem. Tiro impression prevails
that Bill Scruggs is a favorite with the
Georgia Senators, Bill's party friends
have been of great assistance to these
statesmen, on more than one occasion,
Bats the Galveston News: “ ’No State in
tbe Union bss a stronger Benstoiia! repre
sentation la Washington than Georgia. In
influence, reputation, character and abil
ity they stand in the first rank.’ How
Grsdy must have winked at the wall and
Sipped his esra when be got off that tit
bit." .
President Cleveland has been very
much astonished, if the following special
from Washington to tbe 8t. Louis Globe-
Democrat is to be credited: “Thus far E.
P. Howell, of tbe Atlanta Constitution, Is
the only man publicly nominated for a po
sition who has declined, and the President
is mid to feel very much astonished at the
refusal, having been zaked to make thla
nomination by the Georgians, notably
among thmi, it is said, Mr. Grady, the pro
prietor of the Constitution.”
A Texas journal is disposed to think
that the pigeon shooting match in that
State was fixed up. It says: “The U00 a
aide match between Dr. Carver, the cham
pion rifle ahot of the world, and A. H. Pen
rose, the Ban Angelo (Tex.) cowboy, came
ofl this afternoon at Baseball Park. The
shoot was IOO live birds each at thirty
yards. Domesticated pigeons were used.
Penrose carried off the stake by a score of
90 to 81. The largest run was 2f straight
birds by Penrose. Dr. Carver attributes
his defeat to recent sickness. The general
impression is that the match was prear
ranged, Penrose’s advantage being In the
defective powder used by Dr. Carver.
Every bird of the IOO was hit nnd 171
killed. The pools were five to one on Pen
rose at the opening. Penrose is confident
of his ability to beat Dr. Carver at bit
shooting, and bta friends will back him to
any amount. Penrose is a native of Mich
igan and is 25 years old. He has been a
resident of this State for years.”
The Washington Star of Friday says:
During yesterday’s aevere storm the
Washington monument was struck by
lightning three times wlthont the least ap
preciable effect. As soon as the flashes
reached the aluminium tip, wbich is the
terminus of the lightning rod, the electric
ity was harmlessly conveyed to the ground.
A clerk in the second auditor’s office hap
pened to turn his eyes towards the monu
ment as a dense black cloud hung over the
city, and saw a Hash extending down in a
perpendicular direction and strike the tip.
His exclamation at the beantiful sight
caused four other clerks to look, and al
most immediately three other bolts were
seen to atriko the tip almultaneous-
ly. One came perpendicularly and the
other two at angles of about forty-five de
grees on either side. Shortly afterwards
the monument was struck again, the bolt
coining diagonally from the northeast.
None of the officials or employes connect
ed with the monument were aware that it
had been struck until this morning when
Colonel Casey was informed by tho eye
witnesses. He at once examined the
aluminum tip through a powerful tele
scope and found it aa sharp and bright aa
ever. He is, consequently, greatly pleased
that the apparatus to prevent injury to the
monument should have withstood the ae
vere teat so satisfactorily.
latter is simply indescribable. Its great
arnrlet blooms are larger than a aaucer
and cover tbe bushes with a profusion
that la tropical indeed. From every side
comes the perfume of orange blossoms.
Tbe air is heavy with this strange, snbtle
influence, and well may it be lor within
the compass of the gentlest breeze that
creeps upon the lake, ten are thousand
trees, each upholding a thousand blooms.
Tbe orange blossoms were utilize! Tues
day night to some purpose. I was pulled
across the lake four miles to witness a
marriage. Before me, as I glided on, rose
and fell the lights of Fort Mason. The
hotel was a blaze ofllght, ends crowd of
young lids and lassies moved in the halls
and verandas of the grand hotel. Pre
cisely at 8 o’clock, to tbe
sound of the wedding march,
played (ipon the piano, the weddiugpro-
Cfeslon moved Into the crowded parlor.
First came Mr. George Marquis and Miss
Julia Hoge (of Macon); next, Mr. L. J.
Marquis and Mias Carre Freeman (of Ma
con); next, Mr. Redo Marquis and Miss
Annie Turner, and last of all came the
bride and groom prospective—Mr. Robert
Marquis, of Milton, Florida, and Miss Jim
mie Harris, of Macon, daughter of Mrs.
Georgia Harris. Barely, a bride
never looked lovelier than this
one in white dress and her
garniture of real orange blossoms.
Late In the night were the festivities of the
evening extended. The beauty and gal
lantry of the country were gathered there;
"soft eyes looked love to eyes that spake
again, and nil went merry as a marriage
bell.” Not the least attraction of the
evening was the wedding anpper as ar-
rnrged by the bride’s mother, and by her
sister, Mrs. W. J. Jervis. It was be
yond doubt a revelation to Bouth Florida,

Tna New Orleans Expoai'lon does not
seem to be properly guarded. A dispatch
from that city says: “Colorado's exhibit
at the Exposition was completely destroyed
before daylight this morning by an em-
p oye of State Oommieaioner D. G. Griggs.
That gentleman, with money advanced by
tbe ExpoiUloo managers and sntscribed
by private individuals, had put together
one of the finest displays in tbe building,
a portion ot which was a large painting
representing the Mount of Mrs Holy Cross.
Mr. Griggs has been expecting that the

Animal Trainers Transferring a Menas
erlato Summer punters.
Philadelphia Times.
One of tte moat ticklish epochs in the
life of the showman was observed at Adam
Forepaugh'a winter quarters in Richmond
yesterday. It was the removal of tho ani
mals forming the menagerie from their
comfortable stalls under cover to the nar
row limits of the iron-barred cages on
wheels. This dangerous work was done
under the direction of Superintendent
Jack” Forepnugh, a brother of the veteran
showman, noted as a wild 'beast trainer,
and about twenty keepers. The work of
removing began about nine o'clock nnd
occupied the entire day. As fast as the
snlmsii.were got into their cages of gilt
and colors they were taken to the' great
show tents that have already been put np
at Broad and Dauphin atreets.
The first beast of note to be etlrred from
hia den was George, the hippopotamus,who
lay in a doze on a bed of bay. Uls "hotel’'
tor the next six mouths, as the keepers
named the carved and illuminated wagons,
bad been backed np to the atable door and
opened and a stout platform was built by
which he could walk easily in. George’s
•tall was at the further end ot the stable
and from thla to the platform at the door
was thrown no a temporary barricade,
formed of loots plank, aevaral iron-bound
boxes that reaembltd dry-goods cases and
a skirmish line ot keepers, all armed with
heavy whips ot thong.

Peto, who was a medium-sized lad ol
about twenty yeara, with a smooth, blonde
face, snd an accent that betokened hl>
Scandinavian birth, walked to the itall.
took down die hetvy bars and touching
tha behemoth lightly under the chin with
his heavy training whip said: "Coma ou-et
George.”
An enormoos deep red cavity formed
and from it came a roar that shook the
building and aroused the lions on the
door above. Then George walked straight
out along the narrow avenue, lined with
keeper.', to the platform leading to hia
cage, looked at the vehicle for a moment
and deliberately turned around and at
tempted to go back to his old quarters.
"Hold tbe plaukt up to him” shouted
Superintendent Jack; don’t let him turn
around,”
The keepers held a heavy plank behind
the retreating beset, against which he rub
bed for a moment and then opening bis
mouth gave n terrifflo roar and—lay down.
Prevented from going to his box-itall,
Georgs thought to foil his disturbers by
doing nothing.
“Pshaw!” said tha superintendent in
tone ol oleguit. “T.ckle him with the
whip, Pete.”
By thla flmo George bad dated his svi
and to all appearances was utterly oblivi
ons of the commotion tn prog rest around
him. Pale, the fiaxen-halred Swede,

George warily opened one eye, took in
the situation and relaxed into apparent
slumber.

"Go In, Belle,” coaxed Pete. “Now.

pearls. The neck was 1 iw and
the sleeves were short. Cinderella
slippera of lavender satin adorned her feel
which loosely fit a No. 6 infant shoe. The
slippers were buttoned over handsome lace
stockings. A comb that bi.zcd with dia
monda held her jet black hair coiled at tbe
back of her head. A diamond necklace
with a pendant glittered arouud her throat.
Diamond bracelets sparkled at her wrists,
and lavender kid slovea, that nearly reach

white hands and arms. The gloves war
of tbe site known aa “four and half In
