THE BANK CASHIER’S STORY.
A OAKPET BAG FILLED WITH COIN THAT
WAS NEVER CALLED FOR.
Chicago News.
‘ Hardly ever,” answered one of
Chicago’s oldest bulk cashiers to the
query of a Daily News reporter, who
asked if such things as unclaimed
bmk deposits were of frequent oecur
i rence. “ Where he keeps bis money,”
[Continued the binker, ‘‘is about the
i last thing a man ever forgets. But
sometimes a depositor shufflis off
! this mortal coil without remembering
i to leave bis relatives any clew where- j
i bv they can learn who we’ e his bank-1
era. This is to them a truly distress ’
1 ing state of affiirs, and it necessitates ;
I a thorough search of all'he banks
I until the ri’ht one is found. No,
very few people forget where they
keep their money, or neglect to call
for It sooner or later.
’’Hold on a minute,” suddenly ex
claimed the cashier, as the reporter
was taking leave, "I’ve got a little
story about a remarkable dep isit
once made here That was twenty
years ago. It has been advertised
from Maine to California, but has
never been claimed. But the most
extraordinary circumstance connect
ed with the affair is that nobody in
the bank ever saw the depositor or
jisuoii Mm anything to show for his
money.”
‘‘How could that be ?”
‘‘Just this way: That was in early
times when backs here were very in
significant affairs, compared with
witn what they now are, and there
was, comparatively, so little danger
or robbery tr.at I used frequently to
go across the street to luocu, leaving
’he door open and no one in my
place. Well, one day, when 1 came
back from luuch, I saw that some
ou had entered and left lying in
the window-seat an old carpet-bag.
I gave it no notice, thinking the
owner would soon call and take it
away. Bur he didn’t come, and t.he
birr s'ill lay there when the time
came for closing up I threw it into
the vault and went home. Several
days la'er the < fflee boy came across
it and brought it out, asking if he
sb uid throw it in the ash barrel, s
it appeared to be of no value. W<
thought we’d open it first, and see if
it c n' ai .ed any clueto the ownership
r anything of value. I broke the
lock with a paper weight, the bag
tlew open and out fell and rolled all
over the fl > r a shower of gold, most
ly in small coins. That was absolute
y all be bag contained, and there
w * $339 of it.”
“And nobody ever called to claim
it?’’
•‘They hav n’t yer, and I guess
i b-y are not liabi> to at this late date,
It struck us strangely enough that
any one should be so forgetful about
uch a matter, and. when ali our au
verti.-ing was of no avail, we thought
It v. rv strange indeed.”
“W tat was done with ”
“Wnat did w • do with the money ?
Oh, our new oisl.i r employe! It very
advantageously in bringing bis ac-
Cuuots into a nres- ntable shape to
lay before the board of directors.”
Several bom-keepers, who had
It- - n listening in open-mouthed as
tonishment to the old cashier’s story,
mimed audibly at its appropriate
•i.’ling, and th'* r* port-r, who hardly
knew what to say, said nothing and
took bls leave.
Carlisle and the Whisky Bill.
New York Sun,
It is a pity to kick the corpse of the
whisky t ill, but in b-half of history
I ct should be made plain. Dur
ing the debate something was sai l
bout the manner in which the bill
was reported from the ways and
means committee, when Mr. Black
burn, of Kentucky, became indig
naut, and appealed to the republican
members ot the committee to say
whether the bill was not fairly ami
honestly reported by a majority of
the committee. But the facts are
that only four or five or the thirteen
members of the committee favored
the bill. By pleading with the ma
j itity, they secured permission to
r-port it favorably, no yea and nay
vote being taken in committee. Al
most with tears in his eyes Mr.
Black! urn begged permission to take
the measure into the house, as he
said so many Kentucky members
wanted to “make a record on it,”
even if it could not pass. Only four
members of the ways and means
committee voted against striking out
the enacting clause in committee of
ihe whole house. But the iuslde
reason for the eagerness to take the
measure into the hous lay in the fact
that Mr. Carlisle created the com
mittee on ways and means and Ken
tuoky whisky men had filed notice
upon Cirlisie that if he couldn’t make
up a ways and means committee that
would report a whisky bill, he could
no longer represent the blue grass
region In congress. As it is, bis
return is by no means assured.

THR CHOICE OF BLAINE BY A
| SPOKESMAN OF THE NEGROES,
Whittaker’s Counsel Gives Some Po
litical Opinions.
New York, April 7. —John F.
Quarles is the colored lawyer who was
tne counsel of Cadet Whittaker, in
the famous trial at West Point. He
spent ten years as foreign consul uu
der Grant and Hayes, and speaks the
continental languages fluently. He
is licensed to practice '»w in the su
Sreme court of the United States.
’e is married to a beautiful white
wife. He is as much as anybody en
titled to speak fur hie race in the
United States.
"Who has the best chance of get
ting the republican nomination?” be
was asked to-day.
"Blaine, of course,” he replied,
"because he is strongest among rhe’
people, and, I think, will be the
strongest among the delegates. Sher
man stands a first-rate chance as a
compromise candidate ”
“Huw about Arthur?”
“Arthur is out of the question, ex
cept as the recipient of a compli
mentary vote ”
“And as to Grant ?”
“No chance for him.”
“And Conkling ?”
“There have been stranger things
than that happen' d in politics.”
“How about platform ?”
“Tne republican platform will be
mainly a platform of protection to
American industry, beyond question.
The pronounced tree trade republi
cans, like Beecher and Sherman, will
come over and stand by the party
I do not believe there is a very large
manufacturing interest in favor of
free trade ?”
“How do the colored people stand
with relation to the republican
party ?”
“There is a large element of dis
satisfaction among the colored men
all over the country. They are to
hold a convention at Pittsburg on
April 29th. How far that dissatis
faction will go lam notable to say.
Ir the democra'ic party can present
any claim to ability to carry on the
government it can, by a res pactable
show of statesmanship, capture a
large part of this vote.”
"What has made them dissatis
fied ?”
“That is difficult to explain. They
came into the tepublican party as a
necessity. They are mainly dissatis
fled at the condpion of the o lured
men in the south; of the failure or
the republican party to improve that
condition s it was expected to do.
We hold the republicans risponsible
for the eeriuus blow to theriglosof
the colored up.u in the decision o' 1
the supteme court in the matter of
the civil rights bill. They consider
that as the republicans had a major
1y of the court, the hollowness of
the pretensions of equal rights was
apparent.”
"What is the practical effect of
that decisi* u ?”
"To countenance discrimination
’’gainst the colored man ali over the
United States.”
"Have you discovered any discrimi
nation against yourself?”
"I have traveled a good deal io the
world, and I am nowhere reminded
of my color as at my own home. Yet
I must say I have attended all the
New York theatres except Wallack’s
in the best seats, without moiesta
tion.”
"What do you think of the attitude
of the demGcraiie oiirtj?”
"There is reallv but one party —
which ii the republican. Thu <i- mo
crats are professedly split up. If Til
den should be nominated it, would re
sult in his being the worst beaten man
who ever got defeated.”
“What do you think of republican
chances?”
“They have to contend with the ob
jection that they have held power
twenty four years in succession. Dur
ing that time there have been five
changes in the English government,
tW"* or three in Germany, eight or ten
in France and five or six in Spain.
The people here naturally wan' a
change. I believe the result in 1882
was the product of that desire for a
change. The democratic party bad
then such an opportunity ti control
the goverunuint as it will never have
again. It failed to show its ability.
It demonstrated its utter incapacity
to manage the government. Look at
congress now—lour months gone and
no work done. Tne people do not
like that sort of thing,”
"What makes you think the
chances of Tildes are so pool?”
"The cipher dispatches killed him
politically.”
"Would not the democracy stand a
good chance on a free trade plat
form?”
"They can’t agree ou one. The
party will not hold together. There
are too many kickers. It Morrison
gets his bill through they may be
able to agree on a tariff for revenue
platform. The tariff is the great
question, and the democratic party
is not ready to grapple with it. Ido
not consider the democratic party
patriotic; it is simply incompetent;
it lacks brains; it is not bud, but in
capabl -; it has no good leadership.”
Mr. Quarles i« also deeply impress
ed with the ability of Mr. Blaine to
benefit the country by improving our
foreign relations. He is, in short,
quite a boomer for Blaine, and be
lieves a large part of rhe colored peo
ple think the same way.
[This John F. Quarles, who, in rhe
above remarkable interview with the
Enquirer correspondent, has given '
his political opinions an airing, will
be remembered by many of Atlanta’s
citizens as the sou of the R v
Quarles, deceased, for many years the
pastor of a colored Baptist church in
this city, and much esteemed by all
who knew him. His son was promi

to a consulship at one of the Spanish
ports in the Mediterranean, His wife

“Talking to-day with an ex-mem
ber of the house of representatives,”
says a Washington correspondent,
"an old experienced observer of men
and measures, he said he had never
seen in his political experience the
time when a judicious nomination
was so necessary to success. He said
in his section (southwest) they only
iisKsd of the convention a winner.
They c ired little for men; thia devo
tion to names was a thing of tne past;
indeed, he said, a new man would be
preferable to one of the old-time pol
iticians who had be< n presented to
democratic conventions time and
time again. They would enter tne
canvass hampered bv a record that
would outweigh nieir name,
and supported by henchmen
whose personal interest lay in
the mortgages held by them for ser
vice rendered in the past. A new
departure is needed ; give us, he said,
a m«n who has the confidence of the
whole party, and whose record is a
blameless life, and with it. the health
and vigor enabling him to undertake
the herculian task of reforming a
government coated, saturated and
honeyc mbed with corruption. Buoh
a man can lead us to success. Bucb
a man is Samuel J. Randall, the best
speaker the house oi representatives
ev r rad. An hodest, capable man,
a statesman, a tiue ana faithful
democrat, a man who has always
to i true to pilnciple and who
w ul i bring to the exercise of the
presidential office the loftiest patriot
ism, and the will to administer the
duties of the chief magistracy of the
United States for the best interests
of the whole people.”
There is a good deal of feeling in

MEETING OF WHITE REPUBLI
CANS YESTERDAY.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION AND
THE PLATFOBM ADOPTED—COLON HL
MARCELLUS E. THORNTON ADDRESSES
THE ASSEMBLY -NOTES.
Macon Telegraph.
Atlanta. April B.—The white re
publicans met in the senate chamber
at 12 noon, and were called to order
by Mr. Jonathan Norcross, as chair
man, pursuant to th calllately made
by Messrs. Norcross, L mgstreet and
others. W, L. Clark was elected sec
retary of the meeting.
The chairman extended an invita
tion to those present, not members of
the association, to enroll their names
if desired.
Chairman Norcross then said that
as chairman of this meeting be felt it
proper and right to make a few re
marks, setting forth his views of the
motives and principles of the asso
ciation.
Mr. Norcross referred to lhe politi
cal features of the year, the election
of a president and vice president,gov
ernor and state house officers, as well
as other important electioss.
Mr. T. 8. King moved the appoint
ment of a committee of three on per
manent orgaoiz ition.
The chair appointed on this com
mit see T. 8. King, Gen. Longstreet
and Dr. Smith.
The committee retired, and during
their absence Mr.Norcross addr.-ssed
the body as to i he necestity of a form
al separation of the white and black
republican orgrnizaiions. He charg
ed that hardly a convention could be
held that there were nut discord and
dissension forced upon it by colored
men,' He traced inis directly io the
prejudice between the races, which
he hoped would soon die out.
It a white man is chairman of the
convention and calls acolored man to
order there is a row. It a colored
man is chairman and calls a white
man to order there is a row.
In such a s ate of things there is
always trouble and heateddiscussion.
Mr. Norcross illustrated by de
scribing a recent meeting of colored
people he had attended, which came
near breaking up in confusion, and if
a white man had been in the chair,
that would have been the result.
If all are black, or all white, these
troubles are rare, and that is the only
wav out of them.
Here the committee on permanent
organization reported.
T e report suggested for perma
nent chairman, Hon. Wm. Markham;
for secretary, W. L. Clark, and a vice
president from each congressional
district to be elected after the per
manent organization.
The report was adopted and a com
mittee of two, consisting of Col. J. O.
Freeman and General Longstreet
appointed to conduct Col. Markham
to the chair. The committee found
Col. Markham in the lobby and con
ducted him with due ceremony to the
chair.
Chairman Markham, in taking the
gavel, said the honor was so unex
pected that he would say nothing,
except that he would hear any prop
ositions looking 11 business.
On motion ot Mr. Norcross, a com
mittee of three was appointed to pre
pare business anti resuiufloris for the
meeting. The chair appointed Messrs.
Norcross, Longstreet and Smith.
During the absence of this committee,
Colonel M. E. Thornton was called
on to make a speech.
Colonel Thornton responded
promptly and mounted the elevated
dais occupied by the chair, and, pro
ducing a toil of manuscript, proceed
ed to address tne meeting. He stated
nt the outset tnat he desired no of
fice ; neither the emoluments thereof,
and would not nave it. He was, there
fore, prepared ro discuss the great
question embodied in the call I tidy
and without anv selfish motives.
Colonel Thornton then read an able
and exhaustive address, somewhat
lengthy, which was listened to atten
tively by the members ot the associ
ation, but which cams near ele ring
the galleries. Toward the conclusion
of his address he madeash <rp dive
at Buck and Bryant, and made an
eloquent defense against charges
made by enemies against himself.
Mr. Norcross appealed to the chair to
stop Colonel Thornton in his person
al attacks on men. Colonel Thorn
ton replied that he wouid not be
gagged by Mt. Nor<-ross—that Nor
cross had already published his his
tory, and that now tie (ftiorutoi;) pro
posed to be heard.
After some little exchange ot re
marks of this interesting character,
in whicn Colonel Thornton remained
on the field, that gentlemen finally
concluded his address.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following report;
That as tne ballot box has become
corrupt, it shall be one aim of tnia
association to purify it, and guard it
from all assaults.
Tnat the association approve the
civil service reform.
That we approve a judicious pro
tective tariff.
That we approve the educational
bill now before congress.
That we invite northern and western

’ THE WHIG PARTY OF 1884.”
Mr. Norcross, at some length, elab
orated the propriety of such a deeig
nation of the association, lauding the
old whig party of England and
America, claiming that the great po
litical questions had been solved by
political parties under the name of
whig, and tnat the association could
march forth to battle for the great
principles it had espoused under no
batter name than whig.
There was some opposition to this
title for the party, and a motion
made to defer action on that matter
until some subsequent meeting. Tne
matter upon a vote was deferred to
the night session.

The following were appointed vice
presidents of the association: First,
T. J. Fuller; second, Diniel Luke;

THE CUBAN FILIBUSTERS.
RETURN OF THE SUSPECTED SCHOONER —
ALLEGED BURNING OF A CUBAN
PLANTATION.
Key We*t, Fla,, April 6.—The
sehuoner Bhoters arrived here last
night. Bhe pissed two revenue cut
ters and the flag ship Tennessee, and
proceeded to tne upper harbor, where
she was seized by Collector Wicker,
who placed inepec ors on board, and
this morning hoisted the revenue
flag at the masthead. There were
three p rsons on board the schooner,
two colored mtn and one Cuban.
The negro in chargeeaid that he was
engaged to pilot the Shoters to Cape
Florida, and that on rounding Fort
Taylor, Aguero, with drawn pistol,
told him he must take the party to
the Cuban coast. On approaching
tear Cardenas Aguero directed the
pilot to land abreast of a plantation
then in sight, where horses could be
procured. This was done and the party
reached the beach. Tne pilot then put
to sea, but before get ting clear of the
land he saw an extensive tire, and he
thinks that the plantation buildings
were burned. The negro’s story is
doubted. Tne captain of the revenue
cutter George 8. B utwell took three
men from the schooner this morning.
It is evident that the Spanish consul
has discovered, through his detect
ive, and transmitted to Washington
more information than is possessed
by federal officials here, and it is re
gretted here that rhe treasury de
partment communicated with the
revenue cutter at Cedar Keys, instead
of instructing rhe collector of this
port. Baoorts vary regarding the
number of filibusters, it being stated
at from twelve to twenty. The Skat
ers is said to have a small number of
cm bines on board.
Washington, April6—Theofficials
at the Spanish legadm in this city
have no official information respect
ing the lauding of tne Key West fili
busters in Cuba. They say that inas
much as a landing has been made
and the party is on Cuban soil, they
have no interest in the matter, it be
ing now a matter of concern to the
local authorities. They say that, they
are satisfied that the United States
authorities here did their whole duty,
in the m-tier, but that the custom
house officials at Key West were
exceedingly negligent, and are re
sponsible for their failure to prevent
the expedition getting away.

J. M. Floyd, cashier in the sub
treasury in New York city, said, on
Wednesday last: "If congress re
fuses to grant the appropriation of
$150,000 asked by Secretary Folger
for the printing of bills of small de
nominations, brokers and merchants
will be obliged to use the silver dol
lar in making change. There is to
day a growing demand for such bills,
and to meet it we have been obliged
to send out a large amount of cur
rency which had been sent here tor
redemption. We have been obliged
to refuse countless requests for bills
of small denominations because we
have none. On March 1 the treasury
held $126,822,399 in silver coin. We
have been paying it out daily to the
amount of $20,000 to $30,000 to meet
the increase in the demand which the
scarcity of bills has created. The
government could make more money
by issuing paper than coin, for the
reason that the loss of the former in
circulation is much larger. This
effort to force the silver dollar Into
general circulation will undoubtedly
be successful.
