The appointment of W. W. Holden
as Postmaster at Raleigh, N. C., has
a semblance of malignity that does
not well comport with Hayes’ con

most objectionable man to the white

been selected, and as he once left
Raleigh in disgrace and abused the
people of their treatment of him,
this appointment will be chuckled

TOE THOUBLKM OP INIIfI IT*.
From the tenor of the latest reports
It would appear that President Ilayes
has yet in his
own party whom he dreads to
that time enough Is
ua||gif*ti him to develop hie South
ern popey. This, must signify that
t here (ire aome infpractlcables whom
he has nof brought to terms, for
surely the question whether he will
continue the policy of Oen. Qrant,
or return to the methods or peace
and the limits of the Constitution, is
not one that would require sixteen
days loF*lts determination If there
were no personal hindrance*. Mr.
Hayes bad presented to him the sim
ple question whether he would con
tinue the state of quasi- war upon the
white people of.the South, which
Oen. Grant so relentlessly carried on
for eight years, while uttering the
delusive cry, "lot us have peace," or
whether ho would restore a Union of
equal States by treating all sections
alike. It is still to be hoped that he
has in his own mind determined up
on the latter course, and that his
dilly-dallying in Its formal announce
ment is only intended to ease the full
of the extremists who always influ
enced Qraut, but will fail with him.
There is no other courso by which he
can gain any renown for his adminis
tration or save his party from over
whelming defeat.
The probability is that Puckard
and Chamberlain are the chief mar
plots of the Administration scheme.
They—Packard especially—ars con
scious of the awkward predicament
in which Hayes would be placed by
his admission that they were fairly
beaten, while himself profiting by
the frauds perpetrated for their joint
benefit. If he can, by the use of the
patronage of the government, bring
about a voluntary relinquishment of
their claims, this will boa great re
lief to him, and this is doubtless the
solution which he hopes to bring
about in time—the object for whose
attainment ho wants "at least sixteen
days.”
We are cheered by the conviction
that, whether in this way or by a
more compulsory process, Packard
and Chamberlain will soon bo com
pelled to abandon their pretensions,
for it is becoming every day more
apparent that the people of Louisi
ana and South Carolina will not
submit to their authority, and Hayes
holds his position by too flimsy a
tenure to allow his playing the role
of Grant.
There is no proposition upon
which the Democrats of the whole
country have taken their stand so
unanimously and firmly as upon the
lifting of the hand of the military
despot from ■ the Southern States.
Hayes can make no inroads upon the
Democratic party anywhere—he
con placate no Democrat in any part
of the country—while he continues
the policy of Grant in this respect.
As the New York World says: That
we have been defrauded of a Dem
ocratic President is a thing which
may naturally move Democrats to
indignation ; but the Preseident of
the United States is not the Govern
mentof the United States; and thero
is nothing whatever to excuse the
Democrats, who went into this con
test with wide national |objects in
view, for forgetting that tho people
of the whole country have indorsed
the position of the Democratic party
by a decisive majority, and that the
Democratic members in the two
Houses of Congress have to-day the
power in their hands to enforce re
spect for the Constitution and the
laws throughout all parts of the
Union upon all the servants, high
and low, of the American people.
This is a saored trust, and it cannot
be trifled with, on. any pretext what
ever, without imperilling all that we
have already won for American Law,
and all that wo hope to win for Amer
ican Liberty.
THE KILLING OF LIEUT. llrlM'VlUi.
Lieut. Charles Haskins, of the
United States army, oommunicates
to the Atlanta Constitution an ac
count of the killing of Lieut. Mcln
tyre, at Prog Mountain, Fannin
county, Ga., several weeks since.
This may be regarded as an authori
tative statement on the part of the
officers, and we think that it fails to
throw tho blame entirely on the men
accused of Illicit distillation. Lieut.
Haskins states thut the party who
killed Mclntyre were “the Joneses
aud another to whom they are re
lated by the name of Green.’’ He
says that they are men feared and
hated by the people of Fannin coun
ty, and are refugees from justice In
North Carolina. We are glad of this
admission that the people of Georgia
are not responsible for the deed.
The following is Haskins’ account, of
the killing:
On the tenth of lost month Lieut.
Mclntyre, with five soldiers and a
number of deputy marshals and
guides, were lookiug for illicit distil
leries in the vicinity of Frog Moun
tain. The party halted about dark
and formed a camp, leaving Deputy
Marshal Goodwin with one soldier in
charge of the wagon. The party
went toward Jones’ settlement* where
they arrived about 2 o’clock, seeing a
light at some distance which they
supposed to be an illicit distillery.
They dismounted, leaving the horses
in charge of a soldier and a guide
They went towards the light. When
they arrived there they found the
light was produced by a iarge tire of
pine logs 10 the private dwelling of
Ayers Jones, and although it was 2
o’clock in the morning, Mrs Jones
and some of her children were sitting
up. After asking Mrs. Jones some
questions, three of the party left the
house for the purpose of finding au
illicit distillery, which was supposed
to be near tho house. Leaving Lieut.
Mclntyre, Deputy Marshal Blacker,
one soldier and two guides in the
house to await their return. About
twenty minutes after the party
left, footsteps were heard approach
ing the door. Lieut. Mclntyre said :
“Come, let us get away from here,
they are coming back.”
Deputy Marshal Blacker went to
the door and opened it, and found
Ayer Jones with a number of men
standing in front of it.
Jones said, "Stand, God damn you;
stand, you are in the wrong plaoe
to-night ” He repeated this several
timet, and then fired bis revolver at
Deputy Marshal Blacker. The Are
wus returned by Blacker, the soldier
and one of the guides, after which
the parties on the outside ran behind
the house to screen themselves, and
the guides ran out of the back door,
drawing It after them, leaving Lieut.
Mclntyre, the soldier and Blacker in
the hou*e.
Jones and bis friends returned to
the door four times, firing a volley
into the bouse each time. At the
fourth flro Lieut. Mclntyre was kill*
•id. 1 ? r qt
It does not appear from this afc
eount-tbat Melntyre or Blacker had
any warrant for the arrest of Jones
or searching his bouse. They were
upon what is termed a “raid”—an
indiscriminate raid and search for
illicit stills. It docs not appear that
they found any in Jones’ house.
But it does appear that they en
tered and took possession of it be
cause they found a fire burning and
a woman and her children sitting up;
also that Mclntyre and his party
were Inside of Jones’ house, aud
Jones and his party outside, when
the fight commenced and wus carried
on with pistols on both sides.
This statement of facts does
not prove that Jones was guilty of
illicit distilling, or that Mclntyre or
Blacker, with their soldiers, had any
business in bis house. It was au un
reasonable hour to disturb a family,
even if they had a warrant for the
arrest of Jones, and an utter disre
gard of the rights and safety of in
nocent persons for them to make or
await an attack there. If such pro
ceedings are in accordance with the
revenue laws, the laws ought to be
modified. It is even better that a few
distillers should escape than that the
sanctity of a family’s “castle” should
be thus invaded.
WHOM TO NIC Ml TO THE CONVEN
TION.
Editor Times: Your editorial of
last Saturday in regard to the Con
vention appears to be most generally
endorsed. The people think with
you that it is no party question, but
ono that concerns the vital interests
of the whole people of Georgia. It is
not a time for rings and clique to
show their iieads, but for them to
take a back seat, that the voice of
the people will bo heard in making
an organic law, to oporate upon all
alike.
After consultation with a number
of the best people in the county, we
suggest that our district be repre
sented in the convention by such
wise and able men as are named be
low. The district composed of Mus
cogee, Chattahoochee and Marion
oouuties, is entitled to live repre
sentatives. The people of Chatta
hoochee seem to have centered upon
Judge Jas. Johnson. In this county
Col. W. B. Butt is almost unani
mously named ; while from your own
couuty, the people from this part of
the district would be delighted to
vote for Col. Porter Ingram, Mark
Blandford and Hon. A. H. Chappell.
Five such men would carefully and
fully represent every interest, and
reflect great credit upon the entire
district. They are all above “ring
influence,” and we know will give
general satisfaction, and work solely
to the best interest of the people.
Think of the suggestion, and let the
people determine to send them, or
some equally as upright nnd credi
table.

The Admlnlxlration'll Taritr Policy.
[Wuhlugton Special to Cincinnati Commercial. I
In view of the prominence of Gen.
Garfield in the next House of Repre
sentatives as an exponent of the
views of the President, particularly
on tariff and finance, in stating his
position to-day he said: We have
seen that one extreme school of econ
omy would place the price of all
manufactured articles iu the hands
of foreign producers by rendering it
impossible for our manufacturers to
compete with them, while the other
extreme school, by making it impos
sible for the foreigner to sell bis
competing wares in our market,
would give the people no immediate
check upon the prices which our
manufactures might charge for their
products. I disagaee with both ex
tremes. I hold that a properly ad
justed competition between home
and foreign products is the best
gauge by which to regulate inter
national trade. Duties should be so
high that our manufacturers can fair
ly compote with the foreign product,
but not so high as to enable them to
drive out th* foreign article, enjoy
a monopoly of trade, and fix prices
as they please; that the industry of
the country has always suffered by
an extreme policy. What is needed
is a stable policy. It was not so
stated by Gen. Garfield, but from an
equally authoritative source it has
been ascertained that these views ap
proximate to those of the President
on this subject.

Under the ordinance recently
passed by the Board of Aldermen au

fix the conditions upon which gas
mains may be laid through the streets
of the city, tho Mayor. Comptroller
and Commissioner of Public Works
yesterday required the Municipal
Gas-Light Company to agree to fun
is h sixteen-candle gas to supply the
city buildings, if required, at not
more than $2 per 1,000 feet, and the
street lamps at not more than S2O per
year each, aud not to charge private
consumers more than $2.40 per 1,000
fefit; to expend not less than SIO,OOO
a year in laying mains and to restore
the strees, after the laying of mains,
to a condition satisfactory to the
Commissioner of Public Works. If
the Commissioner, at anytime during
the continuance of the company’s
franchise, decides that gas should be
supplied to the city at less than the
above rates, he may submit the
question to a committee of arbitra
tion, whose decision shall be final.
President Fraoklyn accepted
those conditions, and a franchise for

UK IS STILL NON-COMMITTAL,
Washington, March 15.—Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, at the Invitation
of Presideut Hayes, held a long con
ference with him at the White House
to-night in reference to the Southern
question. Senator Lamar and
Messrs. Levy and Ellis, of Louisiana,
were also prepent. Senator Gordon
President, if you will with
draw tlie troojm from the State
Houses in South Carolina and Louisi
ana I will give you any sort of guar
antee that not only shall the peace
not be disturbed, but that Packard
and Chamberlain may remain in the
State Houses, with all the territory
they can command and with all the
offices they can induce parties to ac
cept. I will further guarantee, if it
be required, that neither Chamber
lain nor Packard shall be proceeded
against, even by civil processes
through the courts, to eject them
from their positions ; but they shall
be left to muintain themselves un
disturbed so long as they can raise
money to pay their expenses. Taxa
tion would in my opinion settle the
question very soon.’’
To this the President made no spe
cific response. He said there had
been suggested various plans for u
settlement of these difficulties, such
as a commission, a now election, the
withdrawal of the troops and the do
nothing policy.
The Senator replied that lie was
satisfied that the easiest, shortest
and least embarrassing course to the
Administration would be the consti
tutional coarse which ho understood
to be marked out in the inaugural,
which was non-intervention or the
withdrawal of the troops; but even
the do-nothing policy, the leaving of
the troops where they are, would be
better than a wrong solution, or a
commission, ora new election.
The President then expressed in
earnest terms his desire and purpose
to tiring about some satisfactory so
lution as soon as possible. He said
that the difficulty hud been at white
heat for sixteen years, aud it ought
not to be considered any great delay
if it required sixteen days to get
through with it in a satisfactory way.
He expressed his belief that the
problem was'not so hard to solve as a
great many persons supposed. The
number of offices now vacant in the
United States (some six hundred.)
which must be immediately tilled by
appointments, was now occupying
almost the entire attention of him
self and i he Cabinet, but just us soon
as these appointments were made
and the Seuate had adjourned, he
would at once take up this Southern
question and solve it.
Senator Lamar in his remarks
showed the utter inability of Pack
ard to sustain himself as Governorof
Louisiana without direct, constant
and continued support from
Washington. Ho said that all
the elements in the State which com
posed its intelligence, property and
civilization were united in the sup
port of the Nicholls government.
Messrs. Ellis and Levy gave va
rious instances of forbearance on the
part of the people of Louisiana un
der the severest trial, evidencing
their ability to command themselves
in case the troops should be with
drawn. They demonstrated that
Packard had" neither the power to
create a difficulty nor to keep the
peace. Senators Gordon and Lamar
have no hesitation in saying that
they are satisfied of the good will aud
intentions of the President.
The interview lasted nearly two
hours and was altogether agreeable.
A Urmncritlr Caucus
A COURSE OS ACTION ON THE SOUTHERN
qUESTION ADORED.
Hpeeial Deepe/ch to the World.]
Washington, March 14—An informal
conference of Southern Senators and
oliiera from that section was held at
Willard’s Hotel to-night at the rooms of
General Gordon. The general situation
as concerns the South was very fully dis
cussed. It was the seutiment of those
present that, as a section the South should
übstain from any active attempt to influ
ence the course of the Administration,
and that it was the best policy lor the
Southern Senators to take no part in
that direction, but leavo events to shape
themselves as Anally determined by the
Administration alter concuilation with
those who are politically allied with it.
This, of course, is not to preclude the-
Southern Senators from giving such m
formation as may be necessary, or to use
their good offices in an unebsirue way to
secure such action as is fair and just to
the South and to the people of South Car
olina and Louisiana more particularly.
This determination was arrived at be
cause it was thought the best policy to
avoid any alliances which may prove en
tangling in the future. The Southern
Senators will also favor the earliest pos
sible adjournment of the Senate and will
go home, every thing in the hands of the
President.

Where Honey Falls from Heaven.
gacritnu'Bto liecord-Unlou.)
In conversation with A. J. Dufur, not
long since, he informed me that he had
come across a strip of country three miles
wide, stretching southeast from the Will
iamette river, near Oregon City to the
Cascade mountains, which is a natural
honey producing district. In the foot
hills of the mountains the honey dew
which is peculiar to this district, within
the boundaries it covers, falls so heavily
as to incrust the foliage. Throughout
this belt of country bees are better off
lhau bees in clover,for they literally sciape
up the ready-made honey, and, after fill
ing their hives, build and fill comb
on the outside. Mr. Dufur says that he
Baw eighty pounds of honey taken from
the underside of a pole stretched across a
fence. It would be a very interesting re
gion for naturalists to investigate, espec
ially as no satiataetory solution of the
phenomenon has ever yet been reached,
and this especial locality seems to devel
op the socalled honey dew,year afteryear,
in remarkable quantity.
Troubles in tbe Indian Territory.
St. Louis, March 16.r-Advioes from
ludiau Territory say that a condition
of anarchy exists in and around
Caddo, that part of tbe country being
under tne control of a band of des
peradoes. Day before yesterday a
party of half-breed Indians from the
country went, into Caddo, and being
joined by half a dozen men of thp
town, attacked a freight train on the
track of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad, under the impression that
several detectives Were aboard of it,
who were sent there to arrest them.
A fight ensued between tho rufflau6
and the train men, in which an ex-
Marshal named Dounellv was shot
four times and killed. Subsequently
the outlaws raided through the towD,
firing their revolvers, drove all the
citizens into their Bouses, and kept
the whole place in a state of terror
for ten or twelve hours.
