Tnz Baltimore dun says of tho Confed erate Bazar: “ The Oeorgia table received yesterday and has for raffle a solid Eng lish silver tea-kettle, which cost 1500 iu England. It will be raffled (or $300 at $1 per chance.” Tns number of male* attached to the hearse denotea the respectability of a fu neral at Kto Janeiro. In this country many people measnrethe resptctablllty oi a funeral by the number ot carriages, or the length of the procession. Tns Philadelphia Press observes: Phil Thompson and W. 8. Rosecrans are still pounding on tha kitchen-door ot the White House, begging tho cook to come ont and give them something. The cook will have -toast'cha dogs ou these fellows unless they cease their clatter. Tna deliberation of the administration snggests this from the Oalvuton News: “There are a number of Beyard Democrats in tbit country that haven’t yet been pro vided with foreign missions, and some un- easiness is felt lest they should not go -round. Wonder if Cleveland Democrats will stand any show at any time ot loiter ing abroad at their country's expense lor a period? Tub New Orleans Btates publishes a double-leaded editorial beaded, “Impor- tat t Not ce,” to inform tha people of that city of wbst, it says,“seems to have escaped their attention, that for many weeks past there has teen in our midst a world’s ex -.position.” It Is moved to do this from the fact that on the dey previous tbe gsie receipts were “only *3,807, a moat pltlfo|l showing." In Central America it a man wiahes to make* hlrStelf President ha gate a band of mnsle and a number of eoldlen and marches from one street e rner to tnstber, proclaiming himself President. If he suc ceeds in securing a tnflicient force ha runs ont the man whole fil ing that position ■nd pats himself Into office, and remains there until another and stronger insurgent comes along and gently boosts him out. Tbe New York Times compliments Col. Frank Hatton, late of the Arthur admia- tratlon, as follows: “Mr. Frank Hatton, who has been for lonre years tha as sociate tf some of the most prominent American thieves snd s hearty sympa thiser with their purposes, ought, also, to be a smart and witty man. Ha has been with thieves long enough to pick np their pletumqoe jargon and to cstch some thing of their lively spirit. We are dla- appointed in Hatton. His letter In tbe Tnbnne ebows him to be just an ordina ry liar and blackguard.” Woman stiffrags has been detested In the New York Legislators, and the New York World thus extends tie congratulations, In which all good people will join: “We con gralulate the interea’ing ladies who reject both paatalooos snd politics on the effect of their protest against tbe anfirage bill. As a recognition ot tbs it good aenee, their husbands, fathers or brolhsrs, as the ease may be, ought to present etch and every one ot them with a love ot a spring bonnet. They deserve the commendation of the community. May.tha babies of the mar ried portion of tha proteitsnta have an easy time teething, and may the unman ried portion ell get good and handsome husbands.” 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 me a> this, end the deepert humUietton of It li that so many are ready to believe It To me It reems Juit u much in lnault to be uked whether It U true as it would he were the doer General itUI here. That any one can 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, and conld not have been equalled in Ma con. H. 8. E. IN THE TIGER'S CAGE. Accoisino to a society correspondent “Chet” has been immortalized by his ul ster, Before his final leave-taking Presi dent Arthur sent as souvenirs to many of those whom society’s phrase designated as composing the adminUtrst'on sat, very large photographlo portraits of himself. He was then taken standing beside his desk in tbe library at the White House nnd wearing a closely buttoned Prince Albert cost under hie long overcoat with Its frogged snd braided front and lacing otfine astrakhan fnr. His hat rests on the desk betide him, and he holds bis gloves in one hand. Tbs pose and tbe likencii are perfect, and, with tbe sor- roundlngs and all, it la President Arthur to the life and at bis best. Any fine-look ing, well-built man looks beat in his over- cost, and the astrakhan-lined coat which the President wore In bla afternoon rides and over bti drees salt in the evenings, was a most becoming as well as a luxu- rioua’ garment. Bueccptlbla young ladles uredtorave over it and the President when they eaw his footman adjust tbe big overcoat to bis broad shoulders in some host's hall or ante-room, and on* woman on receiving one of theae Presi dential portraits ended her little chant with rejoicings that “that stunning gnat coat is now immortalized.” Tnr.

Then ba conld bs appointed minister to Runts, and no one could object to it 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 Colorado Lry'slatnre wonid come to bis assistance with an appropriation to reim burse him for bis trouble end expense.

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. ■ Now Pete” said Superintendent “Jack” bring George out. 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, tickled him, coaxed him and finally chang ing bit tactics brongbt tbe tough lain smartly across hie bide. George warily opened one eye, took in the situation and relaxed into apparent slumber. “Look ont for yourselves, boye.” de terminedly said Superintendent “Jack " whip In hand. * t’ii roue* Seine up."
