SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 15 1885. THE FEDERAL CAPITAL. General Roiecranz and His Thirst for Office—Changes in the Treasury De partment—The Public Purses Wanted in Good Hands' Special Corespondence Savannah Daily Times Washington, May 13-General Rose crans, of California, announces himself as an applicantfor the office of Register of the Treasury, to succeed Bruce, whose resigna tion was recently requested by Secretary Manning. The old General is rapidly de veloping into a chronic office seeker. As soon as his constituents turned him down and refused to send back to C ingress again, he gave it out through certain friends ihat he was wanted in Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet. He on several occasions in this city, de clared that he was made of the right mate rial for a Democratic Cabinet officer. Mr. Cleveland, howevr, did not entertain the same opinien and failed to recognize the General's peculiar ability. After the Cab inet had been made up the General an nounced himself an applicant for the office of Architect of the Capitol building. Mr. Clark, the incumbent, appears to be filling the office satisfactorily, consequently there is very little chance for the General in that direction. His latest ambition is to have his autograph appear in the left -hand corner on the face of all legal tender notes. I am afraid he is doomed again to disappoint ment, as treasury officials who are calcul it ed to know, state that the General has not even been thought of as the successor of Mr. Bruce. A gentleman occupying a position enti tling him to the confidence of the President informed me a few days ago that the Presi dent has decided not to appoint ex-members of Congress to important public positions. He claims that men who failed to secure the support of their constituents for re-election, especially when their party was in the ma jority, should not push themselves to the front as representative men. They do not represent the people of their respective dis tricts and are therefore entitled to especial consideration. Ex-congressmen who call upon the President seldom fail to indicate upon their cards the fact that they were once in Congress, even if their congressional service was years and years ago. The most hungry politician and place hunter cannot cornplain that changes are slow in the Treasury Deparlment. Within the past month nearly every bureau office has been removed to give place to a Demo crat. It is evident that the object of the administration is to get the cash accounts of the government into good hands before re forming the other branches of the service. Day after day the head of some prominent treasury official falls into the basket, until now there are but few left. It is really pit iful to hear some of the remaining bureau chiefs go on over their approaching fate. Many of them are working vigorously to patch up a soldier record, thinking, no doubt, that will save them. They seem to forget that there are hundreds of good Democrats who have spotless records as soldiers, who have been out in the cold for many years, and yet their soldier’s record, could not secure them an appointment under Republican administrations. Some of these very men who are howling | so budly about being removed, spent con siderable time and (perhaps) money to de- j feat the Democratic ticket last fall. I know j of a chief clerk of one of the divisions in ! the Treasury Department who was a most , enthusiastic Republican and Blaine striker. During the months of last summer and fall I he was scarcely in his office two days in any ; week. When he happened to be there his room was usually crowded with negro poli ticians from Maryland, who came in to con sult with him. This man now claims to feel secure behind Mr. Cleveland’s promise that no Union soldier who has performed his officiol duties faithfully shall be dis turbed. Ex Senator Gordon, of Georgia, is now in this city. It is rumored that he is here as an applicant for a foreign mission. He denies the rumor emphatically, and declares there is not a foreign appointment within the gift of the President that he would ac cept. There does not appear to be much pres sure for the Federal offices in Georgia. At ' the Department of Justice I am informed ■ that there is not one application for the United States Marshalship. Treasury De partment officials also assert that there are but few applications for Collector Johnson’s place. A serifs of cheap summer opera has been inaugurated at the leading theatre in this city, and they bid fair to be well pat ronized and pay a handsome profit to the management. All of the well known light operas will be produced for twenty-five and fifty cen's admission. The first two nights the house was crowded with the leading so ciety people of the Capital. The regular spring racing season began here yesteiday, and almost everybody in the city went out to the race track. Notwith standing the stringent rules requiring gov ernment employees to remain at their desks until 4 p. m., several hundred of the latter were recognized on the track as early as 2 o’clock. During Mr. Arthur’s admin istration he and his Cabinet were regular attendants at both the spring and the fall meetings, but President Cleveland and his Cabinet, although specially invited, failed to put in an appearance. L. Escaped From Their Guards. Millican, Tex., May 15.—News reached here last night that a party of convicts from Clay Farm, on Brazos river, escaped from their guards yesterday afternoon, and are now making their way up the river, riding mules taken from plows. A posse of guards and farmers is in pursuit. Arrested|for Embezzlement. Minneapolis, Minn., May 15.—E. W. Goddard has been arrested here on the charge of embezzling $150,000 from Austin, Corbin & Co., New York bankers. The crime is said to have been committed twelve {'ears ago. “ROUGH ON CORNS.” Ask for Wells’“Rough on Corns.” 15c Quick complete 'cure. Hard or soft corn warts, bunions. SUMMER EPIDEMIC. UNCLE SAM'S $300,000 WITH WHICH TO FIGHT DISEASE. A Fund Which Can be Usefully Expended —An Inspection of Southern Porta— Their Condition Generally Satisfac tory—Not Much Probabilit y of An Epidemic Unless Disease is Imported—The Great Dan ger In Northern Ports. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Times-Star says: Dr. Hamilton, the head of the Marine Hospital service, under whose management the “Epidemic Fund” of the Treasury is disbursed, has just returned from a long and careful tour of the hospitals and quarantine stations of the South. The epi demic fund, wisely granted by Congress, now amounts to about $300,000, and in case of danger from either cholera or yellow fever this season, will prove very timely. Congress has been, for several years, making annual appropria tions for this service, and in no year since Dr. Hamilton took charge of the fund has it been exhausted. On the contrary, it is no unusual thing for him to wind up a season’s fight with yellow fever or other epidemic diseases which struggle annually fora foot i hold in this country, with as much as $30,- 1000 left. The result is that there is now the very handsome fund on hand mentioned I above, a fund which, as Dr. Hamilton puts | it, is larger than ever before had for this I j urpose. “How did you find the condition as affairs ' at the Southern ports?” your correspondent asked of Dr. Hamilton. “Very satisfactory in most cases,” he an swered, “The street cleaning department of New Orleans seemed to be out of town when I was there, but aside from this I ' found nothing of which to complain. The I condition of the hospitals and quarantine ' arrangements is very satisfactory, and such that I think there need be no uneasiness as to the coming season,” | “Do you think there is likely to be much trouble at the Southern ports, or any great i activity required to prevent the entrance of yellow lever?” I “I think not. One danger will be with regard to the arrival of our naval vessels ‘ from Colon, where there is liable to be yel- II w fever at any time. But it seems reas | onable ta suppose thatthe commanders of these vessels will watch this matter so closely that there need be no importation of disease in this manner. As to the other means of its arrival, while there will be need for watchfulness, I do not think it probable that we shall have serious trouble with them.” “Is there likely to be yellow fever at the ports of Cuba and Central America this sea son, do you think?” “There is more or less of it every season. 11 ndeed there is scarcely a time when they ' do not have more or less of it. Yet I think | we need have no apprehension regarding its j appearance here if the cities where it is like ly to make its appearance will clean their streets and alleys and put themselves in readiness to fight it.” “The greater danger this summer seems to be in the Northern ports, where cholera may enter, does it not?” “Yes, entirely. Though I think we shall with the aid of the local officers be equal to whatever emergency may arise there. The matter is receiving careful attention at the ports of Boston, New York, Philaddphia and Baltimore, and will be carefully han dled. There was a meeting of the officers of the various ports the other day at which it was agreed to require the use of super heated steam for the disinfection of rags that may be suspected of conveying dis eases. This indicates a determination to deal promptly, intelligently and thor oughly with the subject, and I am con vinced that the prospects of preventing the introduction of epidemicdiseases this season are very good.” Looking Up Murderers. Mr. L. Savarese, the well known fish and oyster shipper, is satisfied, from the brutality of the murder committed recently in Chicago, that the perpetrators are the same who so fiendishly murdered the man two years ago on State street, near Drayton. The similarity in the disposition of the body to that of the victim here leads him and others to believe that the perpetrators in both murders are the same. He has communicated with Gen. R. H. Anderson to day, with a view of hav ing photographs of the parties arrested in Chicago sent on here with a view to identify ing them. It is supposed that a man who went about Savannah exhibiting a puzzle in a bottle was the murderer of victims in Sa vannah and in Chicago. A Combustible Brick. A Times reporter was permitted to see to-day at the store of Messrs. James Hart & Bro., on Bryan and Jefferson streets, some combustible bricks, of a porous nature, which are soaked in inflammable material, and furnish lights for several hours. Mr. James Walsh, of Bay Branch, Emanuel county, is the inventor, and the lighters are of three sizes tor engines, stores and small business places. In the burning of the bricks there is no perceptibly oflensive odor, and they burn either in rain or storm. Accompanying are lighters which show that Mr. Walsh is a local Josh Billings both in spelling and grammar. The lighters are wooth looking at.

Interesting Echoes From the Diamond. The Augusta Pheenix among other things says: “Why don’t the Augustas sign Smith and Graves, of Savannah?” The query is exceedingly febrile. The Augus tas could not secure this incomparable team for all the money the club could raise. They signed with the Savannahs when other clubs offered greater inducements, and they could not be released even if they wanted to for any sum of money the Augustas could offer them. They have here the best inducements, appreciative following, gentlemanly associations and a manage ment superb and unexceptional. This is meant with no disrespect to the Augustas,but while they may not “love Ceeesar less, the love Rome more.” It further says, “the Atlantas have taken the lead again by bad umpiring. They are the most overrated club in the league.” The Savannahs believe the latter portion of the paragraph. They have sev eral times endeavored to induce the Allan tas to visit this city, promising big gate ! money, but the club refrains from coming I here. The Savannahs are terribly anxious io tackle them. The Columbus club have signed Ike Baiters of Philadelphia. He is a good bat ter and fielder. Luff, of the Augustas, a good general player has joined the Chatta noogas. The Phenix says the umpire system in the Southern league is simply abominable, and if it is not changed the Southern league will be a thing of the past. The Savannahs practice every afternoon, weather permitting; in their new park and are in fine trim. They have four good bat teries, Smith and Graves, Nicollsand Gillan, Ingraham and Burke, Murray and Mullally. They are all fine individual players. Mul lally, the latest acquisition to the club, is a good catcher and batter, having won a record with the Houston club last year. Smith and Graves sport their gold headed canes with great grace and composure. These tributes were presented to them by admiring friends a few days ago. Other members of the club will be similarly honored, because the men are good players, and each man has an appreciative following. Murray, the incomparable third baseman, and Burke, the unexcelled fielder, are the smallest men on the nine; they are slight, slim and stiff; are almost verging on dude ism, yet are unapproachable players in the field and at the bat; both have made one grievous error each, but that is forgotten in their graceful playing. The Savannahs are acknowledged to be good ball players and their management superb from the fact that daily the latter receives letters or telegrams from some of the best players in the Southern league ask ing for engagements. The management be lieves that it has secured a good club, and judging from the general playing, knowing their weaknesses, etc., is perfect to cross bats with and face any club in the Southern League without any apprehension as to the result. Savannah is agog wi'h military and base ball excitement. It liberally supports the j gun and the bat, and when it takes any in- : terest it goes headlong. The Cadets and the Savannahswill be supported while there is any money or any business men in the city. The new Base Ball Park is considered the best in the Southern States. It is acces sible by street cars, is convenient to the city, being in the torporate limits, has fine seating capacity, is cool and sheltered, has telegraphic facilities and bulletin boards, and all the conveniences that could be de sired. The Davis Bros, nine challenged the Athletics, of Augusta, to play a series of games of ball this week, but the latter de clined, preferring to play with the Way nesboro club. The Davis Bros, wanted to go to Augusta, but the word Savannah is a sort of a bug bear, apparently, to the clubs —professional and amateur —in Georgia. The uniform of the Davis Bros, is an at tractive one, and the members are good players. There is good material for pro fessionals among the members. The Captain is a little man, but it takes a better club than is in the Southern League to shut him out of a run or keep him from making base hits in any game. Choosing a Catholic Bishop. The Atlanta Telegram, commenting on the proceedings of the Catholic priests, who met last week at Pio Nono College for the purpose of declaring themselves in favor of a successor to Bishop Gross, who was trans ferred to the Archepiscopal see of Portland, Oregon,says : “It was somewhat revolutionary. The way bishops are nominated to Rome from this county is by selection by the bishops of the diocese in which the vacancy is. Priests are allowed no voice in the matter. The in novation by thepeorgia priests in nominat ing a candidate to Rome for the high < ffice of Bishop, seems to have justice and liberty as endorsers; yet for aP, it is revolutionary, and smacks of insubordination, which is rare under the excellent disci pline maintained in that wonderfully well organized church. The outcome will be watched with interest, for its im portance is great. The principle under lying the move, is democratic home rule dcctrine. The priests want a home bishop, one who understands them as well as the people. One great drawback to greater success of the church has been foreign and strange bishops, who knew neither people, priests nor country. How Leo XII will regard this sensible move of the Georgia priesthood, who are thoroughly embue d with republican ideas of self government, is awaited by all with bated breath. Grant’s Condition. New Y'ork, May 15.—Dr. Douglass says that Grant’s increasing pain is due more to neuralgia induced by bad weather than to disease. Shortly after 11 o’clock last night General Grant was asleep. Dr Douglas remained all night, and when he left the house at 8:30 o’clock this morning he said General Grant had had a good average night’s lest. He had suffered little or no pain during the night, and the swelling at the angle of the jaw had tubsided. The Doctor and the General will drive out together at noon. S6OO A YE AR A REMARKABLE FLAG Presented to the Hibernian Society. In 1860 Capt. L. J. Guilmartin organized the Montgomery Guards, a local military organization of wide reputation. He was the first commander, and the Sisters of Mercy, in order to give the gal I ant company a standard to lead them on, to encourage and stimulate them, made them a present of a handsome flag, which was presented to at Kort Pulaski, March 17th, 1862. Ibe corps wasthen garrirened at the fort, and the late Major John Foley made the presentation speech. The month fol lowing, the Federate captured the fort and garrison, but this flag was concealed on the persons of the Montgomery’s, and passed through the rigid and various searches made by the captors at Fort Pulaski, Hilton Head, Governor’s Island and at other points through which the Montgomery Guards passed as prisoners. Through the skill and fidelity of the men the flag was saved, and when the general exchange of prisoners took place the standard was brought back in secret tri umph to Savannah. The company on its return was reorganized, and the flag was again floated by the men throughout the trying period of the war until the battle of Bentonville, N. C., the lest one of the inter-States’ strife. When Johnston surrendered, the flag was again concealed as in April 1862 and turned over to Captain Christopher Murphy, the last commander of the guards in whose possession it has remained for almost a quarter of a century. To-day the flag was transmitted by its last custodian through Mr. Charles F. Prender gast the Secretary of the Hibernian Society to Capt. L. J. Guilmartin the first comman der of the company, for and to which it was originally made and presented. It was pres nted to Caut. Guilmartin to be cispos ed of as he thought proper and he has given it to the Hibernian Society to be ite perpetual custodian. The flag is a handsome one. It is 44x54 inches. One side is made of green silk with cress in centre, wrought in chenille, sur mounted by the motto: “In Hoc Signo X incef,” while underneath is the sentiment, ‘ Gcd and Our Rights.” The other side is made of while watered i silk, bearing in the centre a harp and sham rock and surmounted by twelve stars typi fying the Confederate States. Underneath is the name “Montgomery Guards.” The flag is surmounted by heavy green fringe and gold tassels. It is in ad mirable condition, the only stains on it ber ing from the rough handling incident to its usage in battle, and concealment during the captivity of the company. It will be highly prized by the Historical Society, to which association it will be pre sented at the next quarterly meeting, on the 17th day of June next. The society will doubtless take appropriate action on its re ception. The standard has a varied and in teresting history, as it was saved through two surrenders. It future will be as dear to the society as it was to the company in the uncertain and trying past. RETURN OF THE CADETS. An Ovation Extended Them by Their Brother Soldiers. Tne Savannah Cadets reached the city last night about 11:15 o'clock, having been delayed beyond Chattahoochee. As pre viouily stated the First Regiment had been ordered out and were at the depot, on schedule time, it not being generally known that tbe Cadets had missed connection, and that a special train had been sent for them. When the train arrived, and the Ca dets disembarked they were received with trumultuous cheers. The column was quick ly formed, and under escort of the regi ment, Along the route, large crowds fol -1 wed and gave vent to their feelings in prolonged cheers. On reach ing the armory, on Bryan street the regiment halted and the Cadets filed by and entered the haP, where a tempting c.-l lation had been prepared under the direc tion of Major John Schwarz. When the military and citizens filled the hall, Capt. George A. Mercer addressing the Cadets, extended them a cordial welcome home in the name of the regiment, the military gen erally and the citizens, and paid a high tribute to the record they had made. Lieut, Brooks, of the Cadets, responded, expressing appreciation of their demonstration. After Lieut. Brooks’ remarks the company were ordered to be seated, and the collation was discussed, and the adventures and expe riences of Mobile and New Orleans related. In conversation with Lieutenant Brooks, he gave the true reason why the company refused to contest for the prize in New Or leans. He says that the camp regulations were such that the Cadets could not ob serve them. They were required to be in camp by 6 o’clock Tuesday morning, and to detail six men for guard duty, who had to be steadily on guard for twenty-four hours. This, of course, prevented the detail from participating in the drill. Dr. Nichols had left, and the right guide, Mr. Ccllins, was sick. This left the ccmpany with a smaller number of effective men in ranks than the regulations required, and as the authorities refused to make any allowance or to abate their rules, the company was effectually barred out. As they saw no hope for a rem edy, and were at heavy expense so long as tLey remained, they concluded to abandon the effort to drill, and came home. A Physician’s Picnic. Mr. Alfred Speer, who was the first to in troduce the cultivation of Oporto Grape in this country, had a number of New York physicians to inspect his vineyards and ware houses at Passaic, N. J. About 60 doctors took the Erie train. The vineyards are over 50 acres in extent. Here the visitors found the small dark Portuguese and the native Concord grape in abundance. Among those present were Dr. E. H. Janes, of the N. Y. Board of Health. The wines were pronounced as eqnal to any produced in the world. —N. Y! Tribune.
