M. Smith. Always calm and thoughtlul,
he does not run wild with enthusiasm ami
yield to the wishes of an oxcitod populace,
as witness his coui se during the torn ies
with the negro* s in the lower counties.
Whenever he believes a man or woman
is justly cuudemued to execution the
united Voice of huudreds of people canuol
move him from his lirm determination to
allow the law to take its ix-u se. And
when he thinks injustice might be doiiu
by h too hasty execution ot a sentence ol

with a news palter to sustain them, cry mg

THK ANTI-CATHOLIC LKAUI7R.
We copy from the New York
i Time#, u leading lb 1 publican paja-r,
; a re|>ort of an interview with John Y.
j Fosier, tlie writer of the letter to
| Bluinu Informing him that Gen.
j Grant wus a member of “a secret
! utili-Cat hollo order,” and “relied
| upon It to promote bis uiins.” Mr.
! Foster admits that he did write the
letter, butektlms that It never reach
ed the hands of Mr. Blaine. It may
be that bis uvowed friendship and
preference for Mr. Bluiue may have
induced him thus to deny his receipt
of the letter, because Mr. Blaine
would otherwise be placed in a rath
er awkward position. The inference
would be unavoidable that he con
ceived and pro|>osed Ills uuti-secta
rlnn amendment us a plan for “head
ing off” Grant-us un offset to his
membership and standing in the
aiitl-CuthoUu league -uud not be
cause be really felt that there
was any need for such au ameudtneut.
The whole scheme of these two as
pirutits would thus be clearly ex
posed to the couiitry. They would
be shown up us selfish intriguers;
i li rowing a line-brand into the politics
of tliecountry for the promotion of
i heir own personal emls.
So fur as Geu. Grunt's course is con
cerned, we think that the evidence or
such a purpose Is already conclusive,
tils membership in the league is
proof sufficient. He wus not alto
gether iJle or indifferent to politics
while sporting at Long Branch uud
leaving public matters ut Washing
ion to tuko care of themselves. He
had his “club” to attend, and that
club wus a political oue, in which
preparations were nmkiugfora “new
departure” by the Kepublican party,
with him as the leader and beneficia
ry. He was “promoting his own
cuds,” and it will not puzzle the peo
ple of the country greatly to uuder
stuud wlmt those cuds were.
Mr. Foster’s statements shed light
upon the startling political revolu
tion shown by the result of tho mu
nicipal eloetiou in Newark, N. J., in
October last. It was the “secret uuti-
Outbullc order” that did it.. Such se
cret organizations, when they take
part in politics, are ulways most
effective before their existence is
generally known. They can then
operate successfully without arous
ing Ihe opposition which a knowl
edge of their action uud pur
poses would arouse. It was so with
ihe Know Nothings, who swept the
country until a purty could be
rallied upon the distinct issue of op
position to Know Nolliiugism, uud
when tliis open and square fight was
made, “Sum” found tliut he hud un
dertaken u job too big for liis re
sources. The organization brought
disaster upon the party which it was
intended to aid, instead of giving it
strength and success. So will it be
with any secret sectarian (or uriti
sectariuu if they choose to cull it so
party which may be found to help
Grant or Blaine. It will arouse op
position in unexpected quarters.
With such an organization exposure
is ultimate defeat, and the sooner the
exposure the sooner tho defeat. Mr.
Fosier lias unwittingly done the
country valuable service iu his efforts
secretly and confidentially to help
ids l'rieud Mr. Bluiue.
A llinnrr lur ri, I rnnliuiriit.
Our new city government has com
menced its work by eutliug down
salaries uud by other arrangements
for reducing expenses. Tills is com
mendable, for luxes are high and
hard to meet, and the finances of the
city would bo greatly improved by
the exhibit of a larger buluuce in its
favor at the eud of the year. But the
Uouucil has not yet readied and act
ed upon tlie item of excuse iu which
it cun probably make tlie greatest
saving. Wo allude to the cost ol
lighting the city. The reports sub
mitted lust week show that the city
had to puy $4,348 for its light for
tlie year just closed. This wus tlie
amount of its gas bill. There is no
dotilit whatever that half this amount
call lie saved by tho substitution of
kerosene oil for gas, and the light
would be equally good. There is uo
other business which requires a bet
ter light than priutiug offices, and
both tlie uowsiuiper offices in this
city have tried kerosene loug enough
to prove that it is about equal to gas
and far cheaper. Wo do not think
that the cost exceeds oue-fourth that
of gas. Here is a chance for a saving
of more in oue item of expense than
will be effected by all the reductions
yet luudo.
There are also objections to the
present system of lighiiug tlie city
because of its incompleteness. The
gus mains do uot extend all over the
city, nor over one-half of it. Couse
! queutly nil the eilizeus are not alike
: oeneUtted by tlie existing arrange
ments for lighting. Partial benefits,
the expense of which is shared by
all, should be procured ut the least
cost, uud where it is possible to ex
tern! tite benefit and ut the same time
to reduce largely the expense, the op
portunity ought uot to be neglected.
Cannot a saviug of at least two
thousand dollars a year be effected
by burning oil iustead of gas iu the
city lumps ? Aud if it can be done,
wfuj should it not be doue ?
We imagine that the statements
made iu Ex-Collector Murdoch's af
fidavits 7 m tieed in our dispatches of
yesterday j must have stirred up the
feelings of President Graut and Pri
vate Secretary Babcock to a greater
degree than did Henderson’s sjieech.
Tbo “true inwardness” of their
strange tolerance of the whiskey
iruu Is is chopping ou , and every in
dication points to the weaving
aroutid them of au uncomfortable
net-work of evidence. “Let uo guil
ty mau escaiie.”

The following decision was made

Court for the benefit of liimseii and
family, under the provisions of tin
bankrupt act. and the laws of this
State. The register allowed this
claim. The creditors of the firm ob
jected, and the question was certified
to this Court by Register Murray.
On more than oiieoeeaSioti tlie pre
cise question has been before tins
court, uud has always been answered
in the negative. And notwithstand
ing District Courts have entertained
opposite views on this question, 1
am still of the opinion that neither
the leiler or spirit of the la v or tlie
Constitution or laws of Georgia, war
rants the aliowunee of such u claim,
to the exelusion of the joint creditors
of the buukrupt firtu-Code 2002 to

In re Handlin vs. Vennv. 12 N. B.
R. 49; 8. G. 2 Cent. L. J. 204, Dillon,
Circuit Judge, said: "WuUethe ad

a careful examination of all of them
justifies me in sayiug tlmt they are
quite decisively against Hie proposi
tion that individual exemptions cun
be allowed out of the partnership es
tate at the expeuse of tlie joint cred

The case was carefully considered
by that learned and eminent ju Ige,
and nothing that I could add would
strengthen its authority.

special aptitudes and qualifications
lie is. of course, tlnaequ iiuled, makes
this duty peculiarly onercuiß and del

dissatisfaction when tin* enininittees

It has been sai l of Mr. Kerr that

nominate I him for President as soon
as he left the room. The applD-aut
had concluded a very good argument
for a clerkship wi h the words; "I'lds
is my case and my tlength,” when
Mr. Kerr replied : “And my strength
is my weakness; if I could, within
the bounds of propriety, recommend
you to the chairman of any of the

but to show how little patronage I
