POLITICAL. A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says that; Alexander H. Stephens' majority for Governor Is 60,000. Stephens has sent the Governor his resignation of tt oluce of Congressman of the Eighth Georgia district An election to nil the vacancy is ordered for Nov. 7. Gartrell, the defeated candidate for Governor, will contest the eleotlou, not with the hope of getting in, but to show alleged frauds and intimidation. Very few employes of the departments at Washington are going home to Ohio to vote. This practice was stopped in the Treasury Department by nn order from Secretary Folger. Vacations nre not given to the employes in the Public Printing Oilloo, but Mr. Bounds says any Republican or Democrat can get leave of absence to vote, and make np the loss of pay by working extra hours on his return. Stewart L. "Woodford, of New Tork, addressing a Republican meeting in Tremont Temple, Boston, created a deep sensation by asserting that within four months of his occupancy of the Presidential chair Garfield found the pressure of party Influence so tremendous that he used the highest office in the gift of the country in payment- of political cervices. A J-iiTTiiK Rock dispitoh says that returns of the vote in Arkansas at the September election on the liquor question have been received by the Secretary of State from all but one small county, as follows: For license, 7S,SS0; against license, 45.041.

Suddenly ho reappoared on : the scene, however, and tills week sent i fritten'lcn a letter from St. Louis, stating in i suhstan.'c i hat he is anxious to be restored to citizenship; that he wants to put the past I behind him; that he is heartily sick of tho i life of an outlaw; and that he has a wife nnd 1 child to plead for him a d make him human, ' even though he were as bad as he has been i de eribi; 1," and throws himself on the clem- , enoy of th.

The Brave Drummer-Roy. In the war with Franc, previous to the Revolution an English drummerboy, not more than fifteen years of age, having wandered from his camp too nt-ar the enemy's lines, was seized and brought before the French Commander. On lieing asked who he was by the General, lie answered: "A drummer in the English service." This not gaining credit, a drum was sent for and he was desired to beat a conple of marches, which he accordingly did. The Frenchman's suspicions lieing, however, not quite removed, he desired the drummer to beat a retreat. "A retreat, sir," said the youthful Briton, "I don't know what that is." This answer so pleased the French officer that he dismissed the drummer and wrote to his General commending his spirited beb1" Trior.

A Great Legal Victory of Interest to Farmers and Manufacturers. (Prom '.he Chicago Tribune. 1 An important decision to holders of patents for barbed wire was given by Judge Gardner in tho ease ot the Chicago Galvanized Wiro Fen: Company against tho Washburn Moen Manufacturing Company. After the final decision by Judges Drummond and

Wodgett in tho famous barbed-wire cases ; settlements, as is well known, wore made j with all those who held any pateuts i for barbed wire or barbel-wire midlines, under which tin patents were to be sii rendered to the company, and the patentees I allowed to manufacture on paying ceitain I royalty. The oomplainant's agreement pro- ! vided that the royalty to be paid under their license was not to he greater than that

charged to any other party licensed after die 1st ot Jaimjuy, 188f, under die several letters t stent mention d in the licence, and if the Washburn t Moen Company should license other parties to manufacture under such patents at a le s sum than three-quarte s of a cent a pound th n tho royalty tu be pa'd by crap ninint should be ebrr.fspor.dln ly reduced. Jacab Ibtish, hiwcver, after a" vigorous fight, finally settled on far more favoru'lle lei ins, an I the ciaiman. insisted that he was entlt'ed to as good conditions a H-iish. The latter was allowed to make 4,000 tons of wire a year without paying any royalty, and 4,000 tons more at a royalty of only liilf a cent a pouud. The Judge held that the chief object of the settlement with Ilaish was the termination of the litigation with him; tbnt the purchase of his patents and the Htevcns claim was a secondaiy matter, and was used to give the nppear'ance of a consideration to what was in rcalitj- a license free of royalty for the manufacture of 4,000 tons yearly of borlied-wlre and of 4,(100 tons more at a' less rate by ii cents a hundred pounds than to the other UcenBCes.andso a reduction to Haish to that extent, of which the complainants had a right to avail themselves under their lease, In so for as the complainant sought to secure any benefit on account uf.tho damages for infringement agreed to be paid by them, the Judge was not incline.l to grant any relief, as it was doubtful whether It could be given under the bill, and the s ;ttlement with Haish in that regard was not a violation of any agreement or understanding with the complainant

State Dinners. In this democi-a'ie age few people are aware of the grandeur to lie seen in tho honse of the .-hief ruler of tho nation. The state dining-room is the room in which the President entertains at table the distinguished guests. No matter whom it may be he is entertaining, the President is always served -first. He aits at the center of one side of tho long table, his wife, if he lie married, directly opposite him. It sometimes happens that the Secretary of State will be seated in the chair usually assigned to the President's wife. After the President has been seived, White Honse etiquette reqnires that the lady sitting next to the President on his right, and then the lady on his left, bo served before any others. Then the President's wife is waited upon, aud afterward the

."Excess of Itepubllcan appropriations. $32,4(4,133 In 1881 the Democr itic Congraw appropriate.1 $5,124,04(5 for deficiencies of the preceding year, and we have not charged it to that Congress because it be'onged to the previous Congress. In tho like manner the late Bepabl:caii Congress appropriated 13,248,193 for other than pension deficiencies in the appropriations made by the last Democratic Congress, and we have not charged it to the Republican Congress. All that deficiency was for work, services or material of some character furnished under existing laws and fo-: which the Democratic Congress of 1883. ought to have made appropriations. It was rendered necessary by the insufficient appropriations which the Deaio-cra-s made for last year's public service. The United States courts cost $253, 056 for witness' fees and mileage, Marshals' fees and the like, moro than wati appropriated for them, a sum ove:: wit eh Congress has no discretion, or control whatever. And the Bepnbl'cati Congress was bonnd to pay the bill bo-can-c the Democratic Congress failed, to provide for it. There was anorhei' deficiency of $865,000 in Government, printing. The last Congress only appropriated $1,700,000 for this pnrpoie, tho igh the previous Congress had appropriated 2,100,000. And all tho work done through which the deficiency was created was by .dh action of the loan Congress. Another deficiency of $H),000 wiw caused by the failure of the Demoeratio Congress to carry out treaty stipulations with the Cheyenne, Arapahoe and other Indians. The total of thoso deficiencies, a? already stated, exclnsiv.:! of pensions amounted to $13,248,103, and they wore all equally binding on tho Government, aud equally necessary witt. these items mentioned. The following are the principal deficiencies which the Democratic i. 'engross were bound to provide for, bm which they left to be paid by their Republican successors. Evidently they hoped by this action to secure a cheap li'p.ttation and unmerited for economy : EJtOCBATIC PEFICIBNCIEH. A it OKI! I Oljfd. tlrflvimt. Pay nd mileage ot Comrress $ i ,r.o !

The River and Harbor bill was in no sense ft party measure. We ha.re already explained that it was vetoed by a Republican President and was afterward passed by Democratic votes. And whether people agree that it was all entirely wise dr not tha Republicans Are no more responsible for it than Democrats are; The appropriation should therefore be dedndted from the general excess: Deducting this the adcount will stand thus :

Itetiublican naving $sox,507 The items for which the Republican appropriations for 1833 are in excess of the Democratic expenses for 1882 are every one of them made necessary by the growth and development of the country or to carry out the laws now in force. ' Of the $1,644,536 excess for legislative, executive and judicial expenses, ,$l,U(i4 6'20 goes to pay tho extra force of cleriis which are necossary to clear off the applications for pensions in the pension office. Another item is $34,000 added to the patent appropriation. This wan necessary to pay for additional clerks in tho office required by press of business. But this addition of lw )p benefits the treasury, because the latent Office is self-sustaining, and the more work it does the more money fie Government receives from it. Thin addition is, therefore, a gain to the treasury instead of a le ss. The Department of Jus tice takes about $130,000 of this excess, and the Treasury Department $lo8,i)00. Both of these items are made ne cessary by the increased business of ti e Government. The Adjutant General's office rttceives $140,000 of this excels ':o employ additional clerks to hunt up the records of pensioners and expedite pension business through that office. Tne Surgeon General's office receives J253.000 for the same purpose. Thus it is seen that a very large part ot the excess found in this appropriation goes to pay the clerical force necessary to clear off the immense number of pension applications, and so remove the complaints of delay that many who are entitled under previous legislation to pensions or pensions arrears have justly made. In the sundry civil list the Kepublican Congress made great savings over the Democratic Congress in many items.

Tha Re.mblicans made another increase of $76,iKK) to build new lighthouses and repair old ones, and another increase of $35,000 to keep up lighthouses and provide them with improved lighting apparatus; and there was another increase of $17,000 for coast surveying, every doll r of which helps to cheapen tr ansportation of Western products to the markets of the world and so directly benefits every farmer in Michigan. An examination of these items shows that the Republicans sared where it was possible to save, and only extended appropriations where patriotism, humanity and pnblic interest required it. The postal service excess of $1,293,117 is reitlly a measure of economy as well as being necessary to meet the growing wonts of the country. Growing cities and towns and new villages arising all over the land require extension of tire postal iieryice. This the appropriation meets. La -it year tho postal department came within a little over $2,000,000 of paying expenses. And, though $44,000,000 is appropriated for the present year, the service will turn that much money into the treasury, at least such is the present estimate, and that service will cost the Government nothing. In each of the last three years of Democratic administration the expenses of the Postofllce Deportment exceeded the revenue as follows : In 1S58 the excess of expendlti ires over recoil tswas t 6,531,678 In is. the excess of expenditures over receipts wis 3,489,590 III lsrtn tin; excess of expenditures over receipts was 10,852,543 During the last year of administration the Democrats ran the department $10,000,000 in debt. During tho present year, under Republican administration the receipts will equal expenditures. There is where the economy of vrise expenditure under Republican administration conies in. Among the approbations of the present year is one of $1,485,279 to the District of Columbia. One-half of this is a loan to tho District at 3 per cent, and is for the purpose of enlarging the water works tif the city, which is absolutely ueeessaiy both for the protection of tho property of the United Htatos and for the preservation of its inhabitants. Of the excess in the River and Harbor bill over $6,090,000 goes to the Mississippi river and its tributaries. This the President recommended. And more Democrats than Republicans voted ft)r it. The increase of expenses in the miscellaneous and reliefs includes the following items : Tho public buildings in Detroit and

I elsewhere for which now appropriations

wero made. The expenses of President Garfield's sickness and funeral. Relief to President Garfield's widow. Relief to the widow of Abraham Lincoln. Compensation to soldiers for private property destroyed by fire. One year's salary to widow of Gon. Kilpatrick. A large number of drawbacks to importers who were compelled to pay dntion which the courts afterward held

they were not bound to pay. Itefn-tding internal-revenue taxes illegally collected from Detroit Home of Correction. Another item is for the relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers, amount'ng to $400,000. Pi inting report of Commissioner of Agriculture for tho benefit of farmers. t also includes all the private claims and relief bills passed by Congress. In addition to other appropriations the last Democratic.C ingress appropriated $50,000,000 for pensions. And the Republicans fouud a deficiency in the Democratic impropriation of $ 6,000,000. This wits the amount of pensions and pension arrears due to applicants under existing laws, which had been awarded by the P. nsion Bureau and for which the Democrats failed to mako an appropriation. The Republican Congress also appropriated $100,000,000 for pensions, whioh.

was $50,000,000 more than the Democrats apmopriated, and $38,000,000 over tho Democratic appropriation and deficiency. They took the law 'aaility found it.

TUE MOREY LUTTER.

The Author Said to Its H. H. Hadtoy, mm Employs of the National Democrat! Committee. The Chicago Inter Ocean prints special dispatch from N.JW Tork pan porting to give the inside history of the celebrated Morey letter on the Chinese question, whose publication carried California against Garfield in the lest Presidential election. The dispatch is to the effect that John I. Davenport has been nt work for twenty-three mouths in an endeavor to ferret out the authorship of the forgery, and that he finally got tho whole story from its conception to its execution, together with . a confession of the forger, and that he is about to publish the facts in pamphlet form. The man who forged the ' document U named H. H. Hadley, a reneg.sde Republican in the ' employ of the Democratic National Ckmunittee, and some leading spirits in (bat body were cognizant of and approved the forgery. The story told is to the e ffect that Hadley, as the professed leader of certain body of voters in New York, wrote Gen. Garfield, asking an explanation of and answer to the- Credit Mobilicr charges. The letter was answered by Private Secretary Brown, inclosing the manuscript of Gen. Garfield's speech on the subject to his const itu- ' eats in 1873. He thus got Gen. Gar-'' field's autograph. The dispatch continues : "Hadley was an expert; penmtn, aad he spent several days studying and' practicing the handwriting and autograph of Gen. Garfield. Stationery stores were ransacked a find paper similar to that need at Mentor, and then Hadley wrote the ft moos forgery. An envelope was preparer, similar to that which Hadtey received tr im Mentor,aad was put through a process ta make it look sealed and worn. When it was finished, Randall, Hewitt and several other reputttblo Democrats were shown it, and they had had n.) denbt of its genuineness.'' The dispatch concludes with the statement that an electrotype fac simile was offered the Stw, wliieh refused to : publish it. It was the:i taken to Tuth, and therein published. A special train was ch artered to convey copies of the paper to California, ft is said Davenport not only has Hudley's confession, but a number of liis practice-sheets and the final copy from which tho fuc simile was made

The local reportof what occurred rnns.thns: "When the train arrived on which McLane was expected there were 400 bulldozers in red shirts await'ng the airrival of the train. They had a large supply of rotten eggs, with which they intended to pelt McLaiie until he le't the town. McLane did rot happen to be on the train, but came on by the next one, and, being ini'oruiedof the reception in sjoro for him., he went, through to Charlotte and did not stop or speak at Winmboro.
