From Washington. The Coming Cabinet Change and the Presiden¬ tial Maneuvers—Pennsylvania claimed for Grant—Missives from the "Reigning Monarch” — The Ohio Campaign, [Special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.] SECRETARY M'CRARY’S SUCCESSOR. Washington, July 21.—It seems that the selection of ex-Senator Ram¬ sey to be successor of Mr. McCrary as Secretary of War, when the latter is confirmed as a United States Circuit Judge, is not, in any way, in the inter¬ est of Sherman’s candidacy for the Presidency. The Grant men claim him as a true stalwart among the third-term advocates, and explain that his selec¬ tion was made simply from Mr. a geograph¬ ical standpoint. As McCrary represents one of the strongest Repub¬ lican States in the Northwestern sec¬ tion of the country, the President was ol the opinion that his successor should be a representative ol the same ele¬ ment. Ramsey was a candidate for the mission to Berlin when Bayard Taylor was appointed, having the in¬ dorsements ot the most prominent Re¬ publicans of the Northwest, such as Senators Chandler, Allison, Kirkwood, Howe, Carpenter, Windom, Saunders, and Paddock. Consequently, when the President determined to select a.succes¬ sor tor McCrary from McCrary’s coun¬ try, he came to tlie conclusion that from Ramsey’s indorsements he was the representative man of his party and entitled to the honor. The Grant people say that even should Ramsey desire to aid Sherman’s candidacy, insignificant what aid be can command is too to be of effect. In the first place his State, Minnesota, is small and really in tlie control of Sena¬ tor Windom, a Grant-Conkling man; and in the second place, while Ramsey is a stalwart party man, he is negative in his nature and not tlie man to con¬ trol delegates to a national nominating convention. POLITICAL FLANK MOVEMENT. It is further said by the Grant peo¬ ple that after Sherman found that the President would not make Hartranft Secretary of War, his (Sherman's) f, iends tried to flank the Grant people in Pennsylvania by having Gol. Quay, of that State, named for the place. Quay is Senator Cameron’s chief of staff and the Chairman of the Repub licun State Central Committee ot 1.eun Bylvania. lLis management oi the gubeinatoi ial campaign in liis State, last year, which i©suited in the trous defeat of the Democracy, gave him a prominence in his party next Cameron, and booked him for United States Senate in place of Sena ter Wallace, whose term expires March 4, 1881, contingent, oi course, on the Republicans carrying the Legis Mure, which is more than probrfble irom the Republican gerrymandering ol the legislative districts now existing m Pennsylvania. Col. Quay is a pro liounced Grant man, and so is Senator Cameron, but the Sherman thought that a cabinet ^ position might induce Col. Quay not only to change his mind, but to give Ins inend, Sena tor Cameron, whose wile is Sherman’s mece, a reason or changing with bun. But the Incident said that tne ap~ pomtmeut belonged to the Northwest, and there it must go. Ana the Grant men are happy, and say, “Set th * Pennsylvania Republicans down for Grant.” l,lvA .......... *‘ s T vttkrs 1 “ • turn. Grant, by the way, writes by evi ry man to au intimate friend ol his here. The latest letter he has irom him is dated “on the road to Pekin, May 29.” Iu that letter he mentioned October 1 as the date of his arrival in San Francisco. He said nothing of going to Australia and tbe Sandwich Islands, and of not returning home un- til after the Republican National Con¬ vention had been held. Another mail is expected from him on Thursday, the steamer from Hong Kong, with mails from that place to June 29, having ar¬ rived in San Francisco on Thursday last. GOING TO TALK FOR EWING. Mr. Mason, who polled 82,000 votes as the greenback candidate for Gov¬ ernor of Pennsylvania last fall in a total vote of 700,000, signifies his in¬ tention of taking the stump in Ohio fer Gen. Ewing. Kissed One Too Many. The Paterson Guardian gives the following sketch of the termination ot tlie career of an amorous tooth puller. It may be said of him that he died of “too much lip,” and that he deserved liis fate. Our older citizens will remember Dr. Spencer, the dentist, who was in Pats terson about 20 years ago. He left Paterson somewhat suddenly, under 8 sort of cloud. In those days it was the custom to give ether or chloroform as an anaesthetic in the extraction of teeth. Dr. Soencer had a weakness for k ,; ss ing pretty women. One day lie kiss¬ ed a pretty girl when under the irdlu ence of ether, and as she had come partially to before he did it, she recog¬ nized the nature How of the operation and reported it, many other women the dentist had kissed before is only a matter of conjecture. But this case made such a sensation that he was glad to get out of Paterson to escape the anger of the friends of the young lady. The lesson did not appear to be enough to cure the doctor, however, for we hear that he had to leave several other places for the same reason. A day or so since we noticed the fact that a Dr. Spencer, a dentist in Sedalia, Mo., had been shot by the husband of tbe lady whom he had insulted. Further particulars have been re* ceived by some of his Paterson friends which show that it is the same Dr. Spencer, and that lie was up to the same old tricks. While under the in lluence of ether, one of his lady pa¬ tients was kissed by the amorous den¬ tist, and she, being conscious enough to know what was going on, reported the tact to her husband. He was very mad about it, and, taking his revolver, he repaired to the dentist’s office, and shot him dead. This is the last of Dr. Spencer. He will kiss the good looking girls no more. It is said that the lady whom he kissed in this city, and for which he had to escape from Paterson, is still a resident of Paterson, and this if so, will be an item of interest to her. The only comment which seems to be required, in addition to the fore¬ going, is a word of advice to ladies who have any apprehensions on the subject, and that is to take with them a female companion or a child when they visit a dentist, and propose to take an anaesthetic. Murder and Cruelly. A shooting affray took place here this afternoon between two negroes, Griffin Priester and Ishmael Ellis, in which the latter was mortally wounded. The facts seem about as follows : Priester had taken up and was living with Susan Daniels, who left her hus¬ band about a week ago. Priester was away last night, and on returning to¬ day learned that Ellis had spent the night at liis house. They met here this afternoon and some words followed which resulted in their deciding to go cut of the incorporation and . light it , out. They went aloue. Soon alter a pistol and then a pun shot was heard j Priester returned and stated that Ellis had laid his gun against the fence to j and it had fallen and shot him. He Legged that some one would go at once w ith him and hear Ellis say his accident, thinking he of 1 was own oourr?e W0U ld be dead when they got ’ there. Ellis was, however rational Am \ sta ted that he had laid hi i gun |a own an j offered Priester a fair fight p riester took advantage of hisbeiug ] unarmed, ran up and shot him in the s j<j e w ith a p ls tol, then taking the gun tired it off. The wound was ,j in q found to be a pistol shot. ! as Priester saw that Ellis was alive and a M e to make a statement he bolted the woods and made good his escape, (]i ie parties concerned seem to be G f bad character.

The Augusta Regatta. Augusta, July 22.—Both crews took water on the Canal yesterday morning, the Palmetto and Augusta boats each rowing seven miles, morning and even¬ ing, yesterday and to-day. The Charles¬ ton crew find no difficulty in rowing through the fresli water, although the boat sits deeper than m salt water. The Palmetto boys are in fine condition, Tupper having a slight cut on one of his fingers, which is bandaged, but does not worry him much. Their prac ticing is witnessed with great pleasure by our people, who expect much from their long stroke and quick recover. The Augusta stroke is long, strong and sweeping, with a slow recover, which, it is feared, will place them at a dis¬ advantage, Their stroke averages thirty-two to the minute, running up to thirty-eight, while the Palmettoes run from forty to forty-four. The latter splash water more than last year, owing doubtless to the low rig¬ ging of the boat, being about the same as our shell. The Augusta crew consists of R. E. Allen, stroke, age 19, weight 100; No. 3, Wm. Boyce, age 21, weight 125; No. 2, Asbury Hull, age 19, weight 145; bow, J. 0. Crane, age 19, weight 125. Crane steers a little wild, but the muscle and wind of the crew are remarkably flue. The course over Lake 01 instead on tile Canal, three miles from the city, is one of the smoothest and prettiest in the South, and the shores will be lined with thousands of spectators to-morrow to witness the regatta. The betting is three to one in favor of the Palmettoes on training and skill. C. V. Ludekins, of Augusta, enters for the single scull, and is said to stand an excellent chance. Tire rules of the Charleston Regatta Association govern both races. Death of a Theatrical Manager. New York, July 22.—A private dispatch from London gives the intel¬ ligence of the death of Henry Palmer, of the firm of Jarrett & Palmer, died Saturday afternoon, of chronic inflammation of the bladder. He was born at Pottsville, Pa , September 28, 1832. When a small boy he sold librettos at operatic performances in Philadelphia. Afterwards he was bell boy in the office of a Philadelphia paper, and as he became older, did light reporting. From reporting he dnited into the theatre business and made a large fortune in it. Palmer leaves a widow and two boys, 12 and 16 years of age. It is said that Jarrett, who is ex¬ pected in New York to-day, will pro¬ bably go to Europe by the first steamer, to carry out the plans of his dead partner. In 18G8 Mr. Palmer gave the first variety show in New Fork. He opened in Tammany Hall. The hall was nightly crowded. Before the close of the season three additional variety theatres were opened, and now tiiere are a dozen or more. In 1875 Mr Palmer brought Von Bulow, the pianist, to this country, and gave concerts in all the large cities. The venture was successful. Mr. Palmer made from $10,000 to $20,000.

Freaks of the Most Sanguinary Soverign of Modern Times. Instead of getting crowned in the begining of the Burmese war, as had been expected, Thee Ban, being prim¬ ed for something, resolved to have some fun out of the Burmese water festival. It is customary for the young men and maidens to douce one another with much water, a performance accomplished with good humor and laughter and not a little immorality, Thee Bau dressed up his let-thou-dau (his pages of honor) in fancy costumes, as lions and tigers and bellews, or monsters of all sorts, and having furnisbe! them with plentiful chatties of water, sent them off to souee the princesses in the palace prison. What might have been a joke, had tlie ladies been free, proved ft most dismal business. At first they thought the end had come, but when it was discovered to be only a piece of coarse Plalf pleasantry there was a s one. of the young women fainted way and cowered shrieking in a coii.vr. while the elder ones stormed and scolded as only Burmese women can 6C0id. Tbe King’s little pastime, therefore, proved a failure, and lie was thrown in a murder corresponding bad temper. The of a few children since then it is said to be the result. Certain it is that two innocents not more than ten years old have been done to death, and possibly more may have shared their late. Thee Bau has obliterated the one sign of humau feeling lie displayed in the February butchery. A little fel¬ low’, the son of the Tshbin prince—the mad prince as he was called—was brought before the king to shakho to him before being handed over to tbe executioners. The poor boy was half dead with fear, but when he raised his eyes to the throne and saw who was there, he clapped his hands with de¬ light and cried, “Oh, that’s Thee Bau! Thee Bau won’t let them do me any harm.” A murmur of pity went round the ring of courtiers, and Thee Bau said after a little pause, “What has be* come of the pony I gave you once?" “Oh!” said the child, sadly enough, “we are very poor now—we had to sell that.” So the King motioned with his hand, and the boy was taken back to jail. Ten days ago, by order of Thee Bau, a blow irom a club on the throat ended the poor thing's misery.— Lon s don News. Imitation in the Sinccrest Flat¬ tery. At about half-past eleven the father took down his hat, brushed his coat, and settling himself into steady Boston merchant shape, said to the book¬ keeper : “Mr. Doublentry, 1 am going to the Custom House, from there 1 shall go to the Medimval Bank, then to the Dry¬ asdust Insurance Company, from there to the Merchants’ Exchange, and after that you may find me in any insurance office on State street. The young man listened to this in silence, but as tbe paternal footsteps died away on the stairs he dropped off his stool, and in his turn addressed the bookkeeper: “Doublentry, Barton’s old boy, I am going to to get a drink and some lunch, from there I shall go up to the club and play a game of billiards, then I shall come down to the Tremont and get another drink, from there I shall go to Barker’s for something to take and a smoke, after that you can find me in any hotel or restaurant about town.” And he “severed his connection” with business for that day .—Boston Commercial Bulletin. A Factory Owner’s Crime. Samuel W.

The fight started when a policeman attempted to remove a drunken man from the plank walk leading from the railroad crossing to Ruland’s The policeman drew his club to force the drunken man to accompany him, when he was immediately assaulted by the man’s friends. An alarm was sent along the beach, and six or seven offi¬ cers responded. The others had gone home. The policemen arrayed them¬ selves in a line, and with their clubs tried to drive the crowd back from their prisoner, but in this they were unsuccessful, and a general fight fol¬ lowed. One man drew a knife and stabbed Officer Pinkham in the arm and hand, but the man was unable to stand the clubbing that he was receiving from the officers, and he retreated to the railroad station. Mr. Austin, a civilian, while assisting the officers, was cut in the arm. Policeman Reese, known as “Snatch ’em,” an ex-prize fighter, mob. was completely tooth surrounded knocked by the and He had a out, re¬ ceived severe wounds on the head and face. Fortunately Deputy Sheriff Hamer, of Jamaica, arrived in time to render Reese assistance, otherwise he might have been beaten to death. Although Hamer was not on duty at the beach, he fought bravely, and was instrumental in quelling the distur¬ bance. When the crowd dispersed, secured it was found that the officers had only four prisoners. before Justice These were arraigned Johnson, at po’ice headquarters They on the beach, yesterday morning. said they were Edward O’Brien, John O’Brien, James Mackin, and Charles J.

Several of the proprietors on the beach complain of the inefficiency of the police force, claiming that many of the policemen loiter around the bar l’ootus, and afford little protection. Gardner One officer said that Captain had instructed them not to say any¬ thing about the fight to reporters. Fully 20,000 people were on the beach on Sunday. Yesterday a drunken man, while sitting on the stops of Datz’s saloon, near the railroad track, was seized by two waiters and carried to the track, where he was left in an unconscious state until removed by Deputy Sheriff Wilkinson.— New York Tomes.
