THE NEW SOUTH AS IT IS.
A Pennsylvania Editor’s Diagnosis oi
Southern Sentiment.
Philadelphia, Jan. 17.—Following is an
extract from a letter of Mr. McClure written
to his paper from Charleston, S C.:
“Th .ro are few even among the more in
telligent pe >ple of the north who can justly
appreciate the new south of 1885. Only those
wh*» have freely mingle 1 with the southern
people during the hu t fifteen years, and care
fully noted their condition and the restraint!
anti obstacles which confronted them in every
effort at manly pi ugress. can understand the
full meaning of the words# the new south, ai
they are unde sto.. I to-day. They have n
practical meaning that only the south can
undei’stand, and yet th y inspire no‘single
b< !»v or wish to undo tb it which has been
done. Th.. southern eye brightens and
the southern face beams with hope ns the
future of the south is discussed, but there i«
no turning with wistful eyes
theories of the past. The old south is deal.
It has passed a a ay; it is buriad; it is so : ,t
--ten, save as old memories and old pride cast
their flitting sha lows over the better pr nt
and brighter future. I have heard no south
ern man talk of the past as a guide for the
future. A new genera - ion has come fr« m
the cradle to manhood since Sumter was fired
upon, and they, with the surviving southern |
soldiery, uujerstaud the irrevocable c.r-
I a tramcut of the sword. Aud they undrr
rand. ako. that it Would ba midsummer mad
turn "Back to th.* old th»*ori<*s of the
i south, if it were within the limits of pos- i
■iuiiity to do so. Even Sou h Ca• • ■ln < would
iot now return to slavery if it coaid. A '
large majority of her white leaders and an !
overwhelming majority of the whhe pcop’e '
would vote and battle against the restoration ’
us black bondage. They would be glad 1c
limit their prerogatives of citizenship aa
would the people of Pennsylvania under like
circumstances; but their inherent pride of
state forbids it, although fully powessing the
power, because it would dwarf the common-
in the councils of th.- nation an I rank
her with the states of the union.
In the free mingling with the r-pieseritHtix e
men of the Carolinas, including white and '
black, I have Uehrd no hop., or wish or* fear
vxpr -ssed as to reactionary movements in
' those states In this state, where secession
wag part of school education more than half
1 a century ago, and where the stem patriotism
1 of a Jackson was ne* <ied U> prevent nulliliea
tion from breeding sectional war bef< -e
many of the actors of the late war wore born,
there is no shade of a shadow of reactionary
movement; and the man who attempted it
would be hopelessly overthrown.'’

Gen. Slocum Adverse to the Bill aa It

Cost of Our Diplomatic Ser
vice Abroad —Salaries.
'I K
Washington, Jan. 17.— Although the
Grant bill in its modified shape as prepared
by Senator Edmunds, passed the senate with
little if any objaction, it is by no means cer
tain that it 'vi j me. 4. with equal coiwidera
tioii in t;u i< use. When the bill gets there
it will be re t-rred to the house military com
mittee. Although there has been yet no
meeting of that committee .uid no consulta
tion amor > Its members it is probable that
the views of Gen. Slocum, its chairmau, will
pievail Ha Rdd this afternoon, speaking as
an individual: “I am against the Grant bill
in its preterit shape. I think taat it concedes
the a'-surd position assumed by the president
last winter in vetoing the Fitz John Porter
bill. To pass the senate bill now would
be to conce Io that the proskleut was right in
his v'etok It would be upon the part of con- :
gress a surrender of an important part of its
power to the executive branch of the govern
ment. lam against passing a bill which
woubi give the pr-si ent the authority com
prised in the senate measure. I ary m favor
of passing a bill, however, placing Gen.
’ Grant u" o the r< tire I list. It is probable
, that such a bill will be reported and passed
by the h< use. I want to put Gen. Grant’s
name in the bill and send it up to the presi
dent just that way, and see if he will have
any doub; s about the authority of congress
with the. narco of Grant instead of Fitz John
Porter boforu him.”
It would lie almost impossible to get the
senate- bill before the house without favor
able acti m from the house military commit
tee uid ss it i ibuld come up under a suspen
sion of the ru es. There is a very strong feel
ing among th » southern democrats in favor
iof putting Gen. Grant on the retired list.
They mieht vote with the republicans under
a suspension of the ruica Os the nine sena
tors who vote I against the measure in the
senate only three are from the ex
trime south, two from the north ajid
the others from border States. It
is a noticeable fact that the very men
who have been held up in the senate for the
last two or throe days charged with the dis
loyal friendship of Jefferson Davis, wen
warm in the sunport of the Grant measure
If he d —s not fail between ’he - stools of the
two propositions ant is finally placed upon
the retired list ho will owe it t< the ex-con
federate element, which is anxious to pay him
back for his kind treatnwut of the south
when the war closed.
By a vote of eight to two the house com
mittih- on military affairs directed that the
origir i» b'l! containing the name of Grant for
r.-urcin f I ion Id be called up in the house
at the first opportunity and be pressed to its
passage Those voting in the affirmative
were j Rosecranz, Slocum, Morgan,
W'oodP r I, Murray, Connolly Banc and Ly
man; tn -sc in the negative Messrs Hteel
and Cutclujon. The negatives were in favor
of th i E Iniunds’ bill, which has passed the
senate.
The most interesting document that has
come be'orc the bouse at this session is the

Murder Will Out —A Brutal Outrage in
New Jersey- Hanging of a Man Who
Says it is Murder—A Mysteri-
I
ous Death.
Greensburg, Pa , J an. 17.—A terrible and
brutal robbery and burglary occurred Wed
nesday night at Everson. Two brothers,
Adam and Christopher Keck, are the pro
prietors ol the Vance hoUse in Everson, and
ft store roc ni adjoining the hotel where Adam
Keck sleejrs. After he had retired to his bed
I phis brothdr heard a noise and started for the
store Arriving at the door, which was open,
he was knocked to the floor and two men
dressed in regular Indian costume, with their
faces pni ited red, feathers on their heads,
and blaukets thrown around,them, jumped
1 on him and beat him cruelly. Had
it not been for his wife, who
heard h'? cries and rushed out into
the street and cried, “Murder!” they would
undoubtedly have killed him. When Mr. Keck
gave the alarm the burglars*fled. Chris
Keck was carried into the house. Then in
quiry was ma<Je about Adam. A party went
to the store and in the back part of the room
found him lying on the floor, gagged and
bound. The gag was removed and he was
asked what happened. His r ply was, “I
don’t know.” After that, he did not speak
ngnin and he has since b<»en unconscious.
The bur Jars secured considerable property
and some money, but the extent of the loss is
not exactly known. The condition of Adam
' is very serious, end he will probably die.
The back of his head was crus’ ed in and sev
eral ribs were broken. A man who gave his
1 name as A. Coffmaun was arrested between
Latrobe and Derry, charged with complicity
1 In the robbery, and he is now in jail. He
will be taken to Emerson to be identified.
Popular indignation is at fever heat.
Murder Will Out,
Toronto, Jan 17.—Ln Elgin county no
New Year’s day Lewis Stilwell, a farmer,
Albert Thomas, his hired man, and Ransom
Forbes, a neighbor, went hunting. Forbes
and Thomas returned, saying Stilwell had
left them and gone another way. On the
following day Stilwell’s body was found in
the woods with a bußet hole through his
head. Forbes carried a repeating rifle, and
there was evidence that two shots had been
fired. At the inquest Thomas aud Forbes
’ made contradictory statements, and were
committed for trial. Detective Murray, who
has been working up the case, has discovered
1 that Forbes had been intimate with
Mrs. Stilwell, an 1 that Jennie Forbes,
his sister, and the betrothed of
Thomas, is about to become a
mother, the father of her unborn babe being
the murdered man. Thomas discovered the
relations between Stilwell aud his a!!lanc<»d,
and broke off the match. The murdered
mkn had his life insured for $2,0U0. The day
< after the murder Ransom and Jennie Forties
> aud Mrs. Stilwell mot in the woods in which
. the body of Stilwell was then lying, and had
h long confab. Since then Mrs. Stitwoll has
kept her bed through illness. The detective
proposes to prove that the murder was delib
erately planned by Forbes, his sister, Mrs.
Stilwell und the hired man.

A New Jersey Outrage.
Camden, N. J., Jan. 17. -Thursday night
the attention of the police was attracted by
cries of murder coming from a frame build
Ing occupied by Mrs. Woodward, an eccen
tric and middle-aged woman, who has re
lided in Camden tor several years, during
which time, owing to her connection with
one of the oldest and best families in Pbiia
ib-l|)hi, and the fart that she is the wife of an
ex-judge of the Pennsylvania courts, she has
become well known. Her dissipated aud dis
solute habits wei o such that her relatives aud
frirn'ls discarded her years ago, since
which time she has lived iu Camden.
Mra Woodward was found lying
on the floor bound, gagged aud bleeding
from numerous ugly Wounds about the face
and head. She was ii mediately released and
when able to apeak said that two men had en
t-red the house and beat her. A physician de
clared the woman in a pr* carious condition.
The affair is shrouded in mystery and the only
solution that can be arrived at is that she bad
just received the quarterly allowance of an
annuity which the Lehigh Valley railroad
pays her, and the parties who assaulted her
were a ware of the fact and robbery was the
object.

THE .LEVEES THREATENED.
A Rise iu the Mississippi Finds (he Levees
Not Finished.
New Orleans, Jan. 17. Earlier than
usual this year the Mississippi river has begun
to rise, and a.n usual the responsible officials
an* unprepared with their levee work to re
sist the invasion of the floods. A week ago
the riv rin par.s of this city stood six feet
four ii -lies b low the high water murk of
last year, ami it has risen since, so that it is
only three fe. t six inches below high water
mark. It is already out of the river banks
and menacing the levees, the most
import nut of which are beginning to
slough off There has lieen an unusual amount
of caving batture on the right bank from
Gouldsborongh up to Bonnett Carre. The
levees thence to the mouth of the R * I river
are not up, an 1 the levee comriiissioner of
that district forwarded to congress -in appeal
for govornm nt a.d. A short distance above
Buckhorn, t wenty-flve miles above Vicks
burg on the Louisiana side, the bank has
caved within thirty feet of the levee, and is
caving rapidly. At Milikin’s Bnd the water
was even with the bank. Mr. McGinty, who
with his partner S. L. James, the prison con
tractor, has L act of the legislature the
monopoly contract for putting up the levee
i The most dangerous point, however, is
at Carrollt gi, the upper suburb of New
J Orleans, where a eave occurred some mouths
! ago and an* w levee was ordere 1 built. The
lower portion of the levee is not finished. In
I the upper part of the levee there are gaps
, ba lly fixed an I the work will not be accepted
unjtil altc-K' 1 for the butter. There were
twenty-eight men at work on the levee. This
force iasufficient at present, as little earth
can be had. The water has filled the barrow
pi tn between the levees, and earth will have
to be taken from the levee. The contrac
tor for the revetment is much behind und is
' not doing as good work as he should do.
j Many of the outer braces or ribbon and rail
pieces . in spout of the upper levee
are not iu yet, and some of the work Is
1 hurried and must be done over before it is ac
ceptable. It will be some’time before the
levtie is finished, anil about 1,200 feet of it re
mains to be UQ»)»ed. This levee is. really the
citadel of New Orleans. If it should give
1 way with a slight freshet rise the exposition
buildings would lie wiped out in twenty four
hours and in twepty-four hours more the rear
of New Orleans would be inundated.- Still
the city ( slicers appear to be almost uncon
-1 scious of the peril
