ffl a i 11) yliin VOL. X. SOME PRESS OPINIONS. COMMENTS ON APPOINTMENTS MADE BY THE PRESIDENT. General Satisfaction Expressed on nil Side* Political Cyclone—No Cause for (Join plat nt —Mission Declined. Political Notes. Nbw York. March Ss.—The Sun says edi torially: “In the nominations sent to the senate Mr Cleveland preserved that element of the unexpected and surprising which he seems always to take pleasure in. Mr. Phelps is a lawyer of much reputation in Vermont, but is not much known outeide. He is very much of a theorist, dogmatic, positive, im patient of contradition. peculiarities that are rather heightened by a neuralgic tempera ment and a delicate physical constitution. He ha« never served in congress, is unknown in democratic national conventions and no body ever dreamed that he would receive the most desirable diplomatic post that is at the disjxeal of the president. No political reason whatever is apparent for giving Rich an office to a citizen of Vermont, a stab* hope lessly republican, and yet it cannot be said that Mr. Phelps is unequal to the public duties to which he is assigned. “Mr. McLane is a gentleman of eminent talent and cultivation His services io the party have been conspicuous and nothing can be said against his iieing minister to France. “Mr. Jackson served as minister to Austria under Pierce and was a con J dental brigadier general. The office to which he is alioted is quite important mid he succeeds a man of extraordinary ability. “The appointment of Mr Pendleton is not the least sensational in this list of surprises The public mind had supposed that Mr. Pen dleton would be sent either to England or France. He is a gettleman of grtwit expe rience and influence and it may be that in •coding him to Germany President Cleveland has felt the necessity of having there a rep resentative of unusal strength.” The Tribune says: “The nominations for diplomatic posts are the most important which have been made outside of cabinet po sitions. On the whole they are excellent. They must be a painful surprise to the Bour bons who doubtless expected to see some of the regular old hack politicians put in these places, but the country at large will approve Mr Cleveland's select ion». The appointment of Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Phelps are partic ularly acceptable*. Gov. Me Line has already had diplomatic experience and is highly re spected for his ability and accomplishments. He will do admirublj for the Paris position. “Mr Jackson comes from one of the most energetic and busy states in the south, and his experience should have fitted him to rep resented its creditably in Mexico. His ser vice in the confederate army will not make his appointment let>s acceptable to his south ern friends.’’ The World regrets that Mr. Thurmaja did not receive one of the foreign missions, but otherwise approve* the nominations. The Times unqualifiedly approves the nominations. The Herald says: “President Cleveland iisplaced four ministrs of the first class, who have been serving President Arthur, and nominated Messrs. Phelps, McLane, Pendle ton ami Jackson in their stead. President ihows in these appointmenss independence □f any clique. The new ministers are all of high character and acknowledged aUlitiee. We therefore welcome the coming diplo matists. But in sjK*eding toe departing ones it would be ungracious were we not to ac know ledge that in many particulars they have displayed merits which will put their successors to a desirable test.” Political Cyclone. Nrw York, March 25. —A Washington •pecial to the World says: “McLane’s nomi nation is credited first to Senator Gorman, who desired to get McLane out of Maryland, so that he would have a walk-over for re election. McLane was the only candidate in the senatorial field against him. Then, in addition to this, Mr Bayard naturally inclined to McLane on account of his belong ing to an old Delaware family which has long been intimate and friendly with the Bayard family. It is hard to describe toe panic among the offico-eeek ing politi cians here. Few of them knew who Phelps and Jackson were. Koine of the men about the hotels were paralyzed by the statement that Phelps was William Walter Phelps. They are in such a state of mind that nothing would have surprised them after toe first knockdown.” No Cause for Complaint. Naw York, March 25 —An Indianapolis dispatch to the World says:, “Ex Senator McDonald has returned from Washington. He was offered the Russian mission but says he had no intention of accepting any por tion. ’I am made aware, however, that the president and vice president and cabinet felt delirious of expressing their confidence in me. I sought to bring to the attention of the president the fact that Indiana has not re ceived as much consideration as she was justly entitled to. I said to him pleasantly that as Indiana bad no representative in his cabinet we would have to look to him to be our representative in it and the president assured me that in the end we should have no cause of complaint.’” Misaion Declined. Blogmington, DE, March 25.-—Rev. C. 8. Smith, the colored orator, of Illinois, a lead ing mugwump, has arrived home from Wash ington. He was offered the Liberian mis sion, but declined, he says that upon advice of Fred Douglass and other eminent colored men he concluded it better to wait until the policy of the' administration towards the col ored people of the south should be well de fined. Going to Liberia wonki be going out of the world as far as real service to the American negro is concerned. Indians’* Bite. Indian apo lis, Ind., March 25.—Represen tative Hanlon, of Floyd county, says that he has been appointed Indian commissioner for Washington territory. John Hanna, son of Bayless Hanna goes to Washington as Gen. Black’s messenger in the pension office. Charles McClellan, of Auburn, has been ay pointed aide-de-camp to Gov.

Mr. Dolph appealed to the senate to consid er his resolution authorizing the committee of coast defenses to set any where they may deep proper during the recess, but the senate was apparently in no mo«xl to further the consideration of such resolutions fmring per haps that if the question of employing clerks for the committees during the recess should be reopened at this time: Mr. Sherman's pending relation rescinding all such orders made since March 4 might lx passed. Mr Dolph's endeavors wen* frustrated by Mr Miller (N. Y.), who moved that the sen ate proceed to the consideration of executive business, which was carried The gnllerio were cleared and the doors cltwed.

No nove ha* yet been made to disinter the girl’s xxly and to discover if there was any human nitide under her finger nails—corresponding x> wounds on Cluverius’ hands. This would je very important evidence. But there teems now no likelibtxxl that what happened n the interval before death will ever be mown. Doubt must make in Cluverius’ favor. It probably can never be sufficiently estab, ished that ho struck the blow, or that she lid not herself throw herself into the water. DASTARDLY INHUMANITY.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 26. 1885. RESTLESS CAMPERS. OKLAHOMA TRIBES ARE NOT YET IN THE PROMISED LAND. Stockmen Demand That Their I’asture-land Shall Not Be Invaded for Settlement The Advance Guard—How Mat ten* Look in WaMhlngton. Arkansas City, Kan., March 25—Gen. Hatch in command of the United State? troops here, went to Caldwell, where the stockmen who hold cases in the Cherokee strip are in << ■<■>ll, and it is und ‘rst.o>xl that resolutions will be passed demanding that congress shall not throw open Oklahoma tc •ettlemunt. The news that the advance guard of the colony of Oklahoma settlers had passed the Sac an i Fox agency is confirmed hero, but the strengtli of the main body could not lie ascertained. Major Benton does not think it can l>e very large, and he feels certain that the Deweese column will get between it and the Canadian river before Oklahoma is reached. It has become kiidwn here that besides the eleven companies of the Ninth cavalry now in the field against the Oklahoma forces, there are two companies of infantry stationed near Well’s store which have been quietly held there by orders from Gen. Hatch, and in case a general move is made they will I>e used in connection with the cavalry to eject all person’s in the < Oklahoma country. While Gen. Hatch has power to art irrespective of higher authority, he is at present waiting for the return to Fort Leavenworth of Gen. Augur, in order that he may more fully acquainted nitb the wishes and the intention of the war department relative to the presi dent’s ]U<> da 1 nation. The men who have been in camp here for so many weeks are becoming restless and un easy ano h<» k vvledi.r that 01 its are going 'Jito the 1.-.nd •■ n which they arc lc’».irred is makin c h<”)i very much djsrpnienl.od. Capt. Coqch say the LAyt. that his men hr 'letcrminr Ito maiio a move within a w u . < mi I the governm . Low its hand, and circulars have iieeu sent abroad to colonies outside telling all persons wishing to go to Oklahoma to meat here by Sa t unlay next. A train from Wichita brought about a dozen additional boomers from Fort Scott and the western portion of the state. While three or four persons leave the camp daily more than as many arrive, and since the day President Cleveland's proclamation came the camp has increased in size very materially. At Washington. Washington, March 25.—Ex-Gov. Glick, of Kansas; Col. N. S. Wood, of the Kansas State Journal: J. G. Maybury. of the o age Democrat: W. F. Toler, of Wichita, ivui., and ex-Representatives Clark and Weaver an* here in the interest of the Oklahoma boomers, and will have an interview with the secretary of the interior. Col. Clark, the spokesman of the delegation, makes very se rious charge's against Senators Ingalls, Plumb and Teller, and declares that these gentlemen are pecuniarily interested in the Oklahoma question; that apiece of land l>e longing to the Cheyennes and Araphues has been leased for grazing purpo< ‘s to a Mr. Malaly, who represents Senator Teller, 564,- 4>m> acres being involved. H. B. Denham, with 175,(MX! aeres, is only another name for Senator Ingalls, while A. G. Evans and L» M Briggs, with 450,660 and 31H,720 acres respectively, are the agents of Senator PI um b. The charges they propose to lav before the president, who they say has been imposed upon by lawyers representing the ea’t: rais ers and induced to raise* the proclainat ion of several days ago. It will be shown that the declaration that there are no wire fe.m- v-t in Oklahoma is utterly at variance wi ll the facte, and a map has tx'en prepared by the Kansas State Journal which give- al! tii ■ n formation obtainable as to the m m who have rattle and Jami in tin's part of the United States. According to Col. Clark, Oklohoma is cov ered with fire (»ncing and there is not an In dian in that section of the country. It has been represented at Washington that the boomers are a mob of desperadoes whose sole aim is pillage. “Pillage!” cried Col. Clark, “when the fact is that they arc colonists who want to go into this country and settle it up the same as Kansas was colonized. But to this the cattlemen demur, for as soon as the question is rais«*d to the title of these lands it will be demonstrated that they possess them illegally and in violation of section 2,116 of the revised statutes, which prohibits the In dians from granting or leasing any land or lands owned by them.” Two plans are to tie submitted to the proper authorities with a view to a permanent set tlement of t his dispute, one to have a judicial decision and the other to have the president appoint a commission to investigate the rights of tha cattlemen, if they exist. Mili tary, the delegation say, are not necessary, and the only question at issue is whether the lands are public or not By the action of Secretary Toller the cattle-raisers were al lowed to pick up without a shadow of right about 1,6(X),000 acres of tiie finest grazing land in the west Senator Plumb, so the delegation say, is interested in several stock raisi.’ig associar tions, but Senator Ingalls is more cautious, and only has one association, while Senator | Teller is continually adding to his stock i Thus far the agents of the boomers have been ! hampered in their efforts on account of many ■ officials involved, and othei’s s»-nab>rshave been offered blocks of sto'-k in cattle to ob tain their support A lobby has been organ teed, and upward of sl(X),OOOhas alrtiany been raised from the stockholders, $40,000 of which went, it was said, to the Creek Indians, and the remainder was sent to this city to be judiciously applied under the direction of Senator Plumb. BATTLE WITH NEGROES. Kight Burglars Make a Desperate Fight With a Sheriff’s Powe. OcoNA, 8. C., March 25.-—Sunday Wil born’s store was entered and robbed of $6,000. Eight negroes, two of them women, were found to have suddenly left the town A re ward of SI,OOO was offered for the burglars, and a sheriff’s posse started in pursuit of the fugitives. Ned Mclntyre, an ex-convict, led the negroes. They crossed into this state and were surprised the next day while sleeping in an old house. The house wassurrounde 1 and the sheriff callefl on the negroes to surrender, 'tli y replied they would fight. When the besieg ers tried to break in the doors and windows, the negrfxss fired and severely wounded thr • of the posse. The sheriff batter -d the doo, in, but was instantly killed by on axe used by one of the negro women as he fired. Three negroes were killed, four captured, aud Mclntyre and one other escaped with most of the money stolen. The captured negroes say they had hoped to reach New York and go to Liberia. The dead ah er iff and piisoners were brought here. THE GRANT FAMILY. Explanation ax to Why Mrs. s»rt<»rl»’ Hut band Did Not Accompany Her. New York, March 25 —Surprise was ex pressed that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris should have been to make the tem pestuous ocean voyage to rejoin her father, accompanied only by her maid.

A visit to the house partly fonfirimvl the re port. He decided to g-» over to England and bring his wde. In the meantime, Col. Fred Grant and his brother, fearing their sister, Mrs. Sartoris, woo was then in England, might lie alarmed at the report which had been cabled over, s<'nt a message calculated to allay her fears. Mr. Sartoris engaged passage on the next outgoing steamer. Just after he embarked and too 'ate to communicate with him, word was received from the General’s daughter that she would sail from home by the next steamer. About the same time th t she land ed iu New York her busband reached En gland. The family were very anxious to have a likeness taken of the General before his appearance should be changed by exhaus tion from his disease. The soreness in bis throat and jaw has made it imposssble for his beard to be j trimmed. It has, therefore, attained a : greater length than he has been in the habit of wearing it. His hair has also grown much longer. This gives him a much more vener able appearance. When the sub jvt of ad mitting an artist to take his bust was ; broached to him be did not take kindly to it.. Noticing that his refusal occasioned disap- I pointmenb to his family, he finally consented I “It will represent me as a prett y old man,” remarked the general. “Well, it might as well be taken aud it will save the trouble years from now.” Work on the bust was begun and several sittings were made last week. It is under stood that a copy of it will be included among the general’s trophies that have been presented to the nation, and of which ho is the custodian while ho lives. NORTHWEST TROUBLES. Louis Rei) and His Band of Outlaws in Carnival. Ottowa. Out., March 2 . —ln the bouse of summons Mr. Blake cal loti attention to the reports of the half breed troubles at Prince Albert, N. W.

LORD FITZMAURICE ON THE QUES- TION OF PEACE OR WAR. Peace In Paris -“Miss America” —Indigna- tion in Ireland Over a Missing Flag. Leader Killed—lnformer Dead. General Foreign News. London, March 25.—Lord Edmund Fitz maurice, u.ider secretary of foreign affairs, in the course of an interview, during which much was said of the Russian problem, the under secretary answered a question whether the inquiries so frequently addressed to the government in parliament about Afghan di plomaey complicated the affair. Hu said: ‘These inquiries are intended, of course, to injure Mr. Gladstone, but they have the effect, as well, of discrediting England in »he eyes of Europe. It is not the Irish party alone that keeps up this form of Par liamentary teasing, but the men on the op position benches, whose patriotism should carry them above this partisan method.” “There is a strong feeling abroad that the government is w ithholding important infor mation on the Afghan matter. Is that true. ?” “Yes, in the sense that we do not proppee to publish any of the correspondence on the matter until we can publish it as a whole. It woul 1 bo manifestly against public interest tc publish what we have at present when the next mail bag may reverse our relations with Russia. But the fact is, that so far as the movements on either side of the frontier are concerned, the foreign office knows only a little more than what has been already pub lished. I have no desire to underrate the gravity of the present crisis, but 1 am not without hope that diplomatic efforts may prove successful in warding off (pausing), well, well, a collision that can prove of small value to either country.” During the conversation a messenger from t h foreign ' >fllee brought a dispatch announc ing the deuih of the British minister at Pekin, whose loss Lord Edmund Fitzinauriee la inented wit h feeling, as that of the most val u<ml representative <»f England in the far east and of one who had huld important trusts since the earliest days of European di plomatic relations with China or Japan. The under secretary of foreign affairs was per haps pardonably reticent, but from his man ner he implied that he did not apprehend im mediate military complications; nor would sjieak of the pending skirmish near Suakim, the first afternoon dispatch about which was incomplete ami looked serious for the British troops. Paris Affairs. Parts, March 25.—Financial circlestake a brighter view of the situation than they did. Peace is regarded as certain; princes are trav elling ami paying each other visits, and sel dom go out of their way to say disagreeable things of each other; diplomacy has settled the financial part of the Egyptian question, and is busy now with smoothing away the Franco-Chinese difficulties. People are re covering from the alarm about Afghanistan. Doubtless the timely speech of the old Ger man Kaiser will complete the pacific work already begun. “.Miss America” is the title of a now novel which is too much talked of just now. The author is M. Feli< ien Champsaur, a bohe mian of letters, who made some stir two years ago with a lx)ok called “Dinah Sam uel,” suppowvl to be a study of Sarah Bern hnrdi. In “Miss America” he gives us what he imagines to i>e a serious picture of the high spirited, pure, but indejiendent American girl, the daughter of a disreputable millionaire, who, after queen ing it over all of her rivals in Paris salons, falls in love with a wretched French Don Juan, Comte de Vrran, and in the last chap ter marries him. Incidentally the author sketches several leaders of fashion, eccentric dukes, professional beauties and piquant l>al let dancers, and introduces us in turn to the Coneours 1 lippique, to the liallet of the Eden theater, to a costume ball at the Comte d« Veran’s and other episodes of fast Parisian life. The b<K>k has no literary merit what ever, but lik-‘ the memoirs of M. Andrieux, will be widely read. Faris loves scandal “Miss America” is full of it Stole the I'Tag. Dublin, March 25.—Great excitement and indignation prevails throughout the city among the sympathizers of the lord mayor over the discovery of t he flag which is usually displayed over the Mansion house on the oce& sions of fetesorevents of state. Some students belonging to a medical college, after learn ing of the threat of the lord mayor to lowei the flag during the visits of the prince and princess of Wales, banded together a.id con cocted a scheme by which they would foil th< lord mayor in carrying out his threat. They decided to obtain possession of the flag. A number of students succeeded in obtaining admission to the building on some pretext, an<l stole the national ensign. The royalisti are jubilant over the nationalist’s misfortune and are hugely enjoying the joke, as they term it. Dead and Insane. Dublin, March 25.—J<x* Smith, the max who pointed out Burke to Carey, on the day when the former was assassinated in Phcenb I’ark, has just died. Smith has been in bad health for months before death and suffered greatly from fear of being assassinated by invincibles, because of certain informatior given by him to the authorities concerning their movements.

Montreal, March 25 —A sensation hai been caused in financial circles here by th< announcement made in parliament by Sil John McDonald to the effect tiiat the govern ment refused the proposition made by th< Canadian Pacific for financial aid; that ii all probability the second proposition will l>e received. In well informed circles here, it is known the company asked for $5,000,000 cash, which is irnmedl ately required to meet the floating liabilities. The refusal of the government to grant thia is considered of serious import to the coin pany, as large amounts of its paper will soon fall due. The ‘second proposition referred tc by the premier is for the removal of a liei on the last year’s loan and the issue of mort gage bonds. The directors here refuse to say anything about it. Chilly in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., March 25.—The mer cury fell to twenty-six above zero here and ii was colder than any March day since March, 1872.
