The Postmaster of Kew Orleans has forwarded to Washington a statement admitting that his force is inefficient, and pleading that the reason is fonnd in the material he Is compelled to appoint for political purposes. Washington special to Chicago Timet.- "Some of the Democratic politicians about headquarters are saying that, while Butler's candidacy will hurt them in New York very materially. It may also be tho means of carrying Pennsylvania for Cleveland. They say that the Republicans depend upon the labor vote for their large majorities in that State, and that Butler will take this from them. Upon this assumption they hold that if Cleveland Is beaten in New York ho still may be elected. The situation Is looked upon in all quarters as anomalous, and Republicans say they think it is Butler's intention to Injure the Democrats, and that all his efforts will be to this end." A Buffalo Jispatch says: "A local committee composed of John M. Cowio and fifteen other Independent Republicans of this oity have Issued an address to the Independent Republicans of tho nation giving the result of their investigation into tho Cleveland scandal. They say that thoy havo felt it their duty to examine those stones In detail, not to satisfy themselves, but to satisfy others. They cay that the general charges of drunkenness and gross Immorality which were made against Gov. Cleveland are absolutely false. Bis reputation for morality has been good. The charge that ho has recently taken part in a drunken and licentious debauch in Buffalo on the occasion of a visit here is entirely false. The facts of the Halpin case show that the woman was not seduced and that the allegations respecting her abduction and ill-treatment ate entirely false. The circumstances occurred years ago. Tho woman in question

was at that time 30 or 0 years old and had two children."

The Facto Concerning (lie Privations of the Greely Party Conting (o the Surface.

IiUe) Bnatained in Those Rescued at the Coot of Their Comrades' Lives.

rNcw York special. Written documents now in possession ot the Navy Department at Washington add io tho record of inifieniblo human suffering, already pithliKhod in connection with tho finding of the Greely relief expedition, the most shocking stories of inhumanity and cannibaliKin. All the farts have been in tho possession of Secretary Chandler for nearly three weeks, but so closely havo they been gnirded, and so strictly have tho naval officers and sailors maintained the silence imposed on them, that not even on inkling of tho tnie aud horrilile condition of athiirs lias yet reached the public ear. The sufferings and privation of the men in their hut during the long bitter winter of I8M have not half linen told. It has been published that after game gave ont early in February they lived principa l)' on seal skins, lichcus aud shrimps. As a m:ttcr of fnct they wero kept alive on human flesh. When the rescuing party discovered the survivors, the first duty was to look to tho two men who were insensible from cold and privation, even io the point of death. One of ihem, a Gorman, was wild and delirious. "Oh," ho shrieked, as the sailors took hold of him to lift him tenderly, "don't let them shoot me, as they did poor Uonry. Must I bo killed and oaten, as Henrv was? Don't lot them do it. Dou't do it. Tho sailors were horrified, but at onoo reported tho man's words to Commander Sehlev, when iho horrible reality was brought out boforo au investigating committee. Commander Schley instructed two or three gentlemon, among whom was Dr. Amos, tho surgeon of the Bear, to make a careful examination and put their conclusions in writing. This was done, and the reports ore ne w in tho hands of tho Navy Departmont. Lieut. Grcoly was decidedly nvcrso to having the bodies of the buried dead disturbed, but tho bodies were dug from their groves. Most of the blankets contained nothing but heaps of white bones, many of them picked clean. By inquiries Commander Schley discovered many of tho seventeen men, who are said to havo perished from starvation, had been eaten by their famishing comrades. It was the one last resort. It is reported that iho only mon who escaped tho knife were three or four who died of scurvy. Tho amputated limbs of tho men who afterward perished wore eagerly devoured as food. Whether the four bodies that were swept ont to sea and never recovered would have added further evidence to this story of horrible cannibalism cannot be learned now, though tho Vipers in the possession of the Navy Department gutfeall the particulars as told by the survivors. Charles B. Henry's death was particularly tragic Drivon to despair by his frightful hunger, Henry saw an opportunity to steal a little more than his share of rations, and he made the attempt. Ho was found out and shot for his crime. In the pnblishod official report, the death of this man is set down as having occurred on Juno 6. When tho body was fouud hia hands and face, though shrunken, were intact and recognizable, but nearly everywhere elso the skin had been stripped from him, and iho flesh picked from the bones. Even his heart and lungs wero eaten by his comrades. Tho body was in this condition when it was interred last Saturday. The lettor his friend, Mr. ltobert S. Oborfclder. of Sidney, Neb., is daily looking for, will probably never como to hgbt.

THE POLITICAL FIELD.

EARTHQUAKES. Incidents or the Beeent Shake-up In the East. Now York telegram. On Sunday during the funeral of Lewis Ingler, Jr., tho young man who committed suicide at Amity ville, h. I., an extraordinary scene occurred. As (he minister was about to kneel in prayer the shock of tho eArthqnako shook the houso. A largo mirror, which reachod from tho ceiling to tho floor, was emeked in two from tho top to tho bottom, and tho walls Of the room were cracked in two places. Tho flowers wero shako ii from tho coffin and tho silver handles on iho sides of the casket rattled. The minister and several of tho mourners fainted. When tho shook was first felt nearly every one in the parlors remained motionless. Then there was a stampede to get outside, aud one lady jumped through an open window and spiained her leg so that she had to bo carried to her home. The women who fainted wore carried outsido to the open air. The minister was unable to go on with tho service, and the mourners and others remained outside whilo the paU-bearers re-outercd the house and carried tho coffin out to the hearse. A broom-handle can be laid into the cracks in the wall. Tho carthquako caused the brick chimneys of two houses to fall at East Norwich. Tho Presbyterian Sunday school at Jamaica had its walls serried by cracks, one to two inches in width, extending from Us roof to its foundation. A colored campmeeting in Fleetwood was broken up by tho shock, and all in attendance beiug on their knees at the rime, jumped up shouting, and ran from tho woods to their homes. Mrs. Charles Scheler, of Plainfield, N. J., was so affected by the earthquake that she died in a few hours.

MORMON ELDERS KILLED.

Two Missionaries Slain While Proselyting in the South. rNaahville (Tenn.) special. For some time past a number of Mormon elders have been seeking converts in several of the southern counties in Tennessee, as well as in Northern Georgia and Alabama. Much opposition has been manifested, and the elders wero driven from many counties. Iu Lewis County, Tennessee, yesterday, a Mormon meeting was being held at the house of a man named Condor, three Mormon elders being present, one of whom was named Gibbs, During the meeting ten or twelve disguised men went into the house and ordered a young man named Hudson aud a son of Conder to surrender. They both showed fight, and onu of the masked men struck young Couder and broke his skull. Hudson then fired and killad onb of the masked mon, who proved to be David Hinsou, from tho adjoining county of Hickman. The masked men then began firing, killing two Mormon elders and shooting Mrs. Conder, behind whom one of them had taken rofuge. Tho third elder flod to the woods, but wis pursued, and firing was soon after heard.

Allolilg-an Republicans. Tho Republican State Convention of Michigan convened at Detroit, and chose E. 8. Lacey, of Eaton County, Permanent Chairman. Tho following State ticket was placed in nomination: Governor, Gen. H. A. AlKer; Lieutenant Governor. Archibald Butler, after 0. A. Luce bad declined; Secretary of State, H. A. Conant; Treasurer. E.

Tho following platform was adopted: The Republicans of Michigan, in State convention assembled, declare anew their devotion to tho principles and oruanlzation of the National Republican Convention uuon questions of national policy, and pledge their utmost offorts for the success ot Its principles and candidates. (Here followed tho platform adopted by the National Itepnbllcan Convention at Chicago.) The Republican party recognizes tho need of more efficient laws to protect the rights of the lalxirlns men of the State In obtainuui just reward for their labors, and it therefore promises that it will favor tho enactment of such lien laws and other measures as will carefully guard and momoto the interests of the laboring men. The Republican partv pleducs itself to resist the practice of importing into tho State convict and contract laborers of other States, Territories, or countries to bo employed In competition with the laboring men of this State. The Republican party always recognizes that the unrestrained manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors are productive of evils of the greatest magnitude, and that it is the duty of tho law-making power to adopt from time to time such measures as are found most practicable and efficient for tho restraint and removal of such evils; and it now reaffirms that its policy will be in the future to accomplish the same great result by enactments of such laws as cxpertenoe will show to be beet adapted for tho purpose. Wo Invite in this work tho aid and co-operation of all who recognize tho existence of such evils, whatever bo thoir respective views upon the wisdom of particular measures, to tho end that the best moth ods bo found and the greatest good accoi3pliMhed. Tho people are the sovereigns and sources of State power and authority, and whou any considerable portion of them demand an amendment to tho organic law of the State in regard to any general policy thereof, it becomes tho duty of the legislative body to grant tlw people au opportunity for an expression upon such subject m a constitutional manner. For thirty years the Republican party has administered Iho affaire of the State with such wisdom, integrity, economy, and efficiency as to insure prosperity at home and honor and credit abroad. It has fostered and promoted educational and charitable institutions. It has stood for the integrity of the nation and the liberty of tho Individual It has developed all tho groat resources and industries of the State. Tho history of its administration of the State in the past is its best pledge and promise for conduct in tho future. Missouri Democrats. Ex-Gov. Claries H. Hardin presided over the Missouri Democratic Convention, at Jefferson City. Tho following platform was adopted by the convention without discussion: 1. That the Democratic party of Missouri Indorses the declaration of principles made by tho Democratic convention recently held in Chicago, and pledges its earnest support to Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks, the nominees of that convention for 1 "resident and Vice I'reeident ot the United States. a. We indorse the action of our United States Senators and members of the House of Representatives in tho Forty-eighth Congress. s. We indorse tho economical administration of affairs by our present State Government in all its branches, and point with pride to the record of the Democratic party of Missouri in the administration of oar State Government; that in every portion of Missouri the laws have been faithfully administered and all persons are alike protected In person and property ; that the people enjoy peace, order, prosperity, and plenty, while honesty and economy have obtained in every department of the State Government since it passed into the hands of the Democratic party. 4. That the Democracy concratulatcs tho nco-

iile of the State on the reduction of our State dobt about fio.ooo.nou, or nearly one-half; in the enlargement ot the public school fund, and in the material reduction of tho rate of taxation, and pledges itself to the same strict economy in future. 5. The Democratic party, which originated tho public school system in Missouri, stands pledged to maintain popular education in the State. il. That the Democracy is tho especial champion of the people: reiterates its intense hostility to tho monopolistic tendency ot the times, and declares its purpose of battling lor the masses in their st ruggle for supremacy. Candidates for State offices were nominated as follows: Governor, John S. Marmaduko; Lieutenant Governor, A. P. Morehouse; Secretary of State, Michael K. McUrath: Treasurer, James M. Sichert; Auditor, John Walker; Register of Lands, Robert MoCullougli. Georgia IH-mocrals Tho Georgia Democratic Convention met at Atlanta to nominate a St ito ticket. Tho administration of Gov. H. D. McDaniel was indorsed by a renominatiou. Tho ticket was completed as follows: Secretary of State. N. C Barnett: Comptroller, W. A. Wright: Treasurer, R. A. Hardman; Attorney General, Clifford Anderson.

ARCTIC SECRETS. Private Henry Shot by Order of Lieut. Greely for Stealing Food,

(Boston special. Notwithstanding Secretary Chandler's express ordors and the vigilance of tho Portsmonth Navy Yard officials, Lieut. Greely has boon interviewed concerning the charges made by the Now York Times. Ho frankly admitted that Henry had a military execution tho Cth of Juno. As early as March it was suspected that Henry was stealing the limited food which was apportioned out to the survivors for their sustenance, and this faot being finally nud positively ascertained, Lieut Greely had thereafter hard work to protect the man's life. It became necessary, in order to keep up tho discipline, to inform Henry that he would be shot if the practice continued, and that a similar fato would be meted out to any other member of the party who should be detected in a liko crime. After and in spite of these warnings Henry was again detected stalling tho provisions, among the food tiken being two pounds of bacon, the eating of so much of which made him sick. A feirch was thon instituted, when it was found that Henry had, among other articles, stolon and secreted a pair of sealskin boots, which had belonged to tho hunter of the party. Lieut. Greely was therefore forced, in order to maintain military discipline and to protect the lives of his other comrades, to issue a written order that Henry be shot, which order was carried into effect June 6. Lieut. Greely stated with considerable emphasis that if it had not been for his own physical condition he should havo himself killed him rather than have delegated the duty to others. As to tho alleged cannibalism, Lient. Greely says of his personal knowledge thero was no act of cannibalism by the party, and if anything of that kind occurred it was an individual act aud entirely unauthorized and deprecated. This statement is confirmed by Sergt. Bntinard and all the other surviving members of the expedition, who arc still at the Navy Yard Hospital.

Hanged by His Heels. A dispatch from Cotulla, Texas, reports that "one hundred armed men surrounded the jail and invited tho Sheriff to surrender Green McCullough, held on the chorgo of murder. After going through this little formality tho vigilantes proceeded to take the man, and, escorting him to a neighboring tree, loft him dangling, heels down, at the end of a rope, Tho occasion of tho visiting of summary justice upon McCullough was the murder yesterday evening of Charles Bragg, with whom McCullough had had a previous altercation, which at the time wa-s thought to be finally settled. McCulloutfh, however, only wont away to arm himself. Subsequently returning, ho sought out his victim in a gambling-room and shot him through and through with a riflo, killing him instantly."

ITEMS. Senator Hale, of Maines, does not like newspapers, and rarely reads thorn. SOUTHERN women are earnestly nt work for their departments tit the New Orleans Exhibition. John Kelly, tho Tammany leader, pays taxes on $lo5,000 worth of property hi New York City. Daniel Tilhen, who has been Probate Judge at Cleveland for tweuty-ono years, bus been renominated for another term. Robert Laihd Collier says that an American is distinguished in London by the fact that his trousers bag at the knew.

TUB BIRTHPLACE OF CHOLERA. Tim Terrible Disease Distribute! by PilctIiiih from llurifwar ami Mecca. Hurdwar, in tho Punjab, at Iho foot of the Himalaya Mountains, is the gioat nursery of cholera. It never originates there, but has annually been dovolopod thero during the great Hindu festivals. Of those festivals Hurdwar is cursed with two, and thoy draw together a great concourso of jiooplo from every portion of tho Indian empire At some of these festivals as many as :1,IWO,000 doroteos have assembled, but of lato. years tho numliois havo fallen off, Hurd war having lost its saot'ed prcsttgo from the faot that some of tho holy waters of tho Ganges havo boon profanely diverted into a canal constructed by English authorilioa. There inimen.so numbers of human beings gather upon a bare, sandy plain, on the banks of the (iangis, innsstHl liko herds of swiuo, without means of sanitary prote.-tion. The earth and air, as well as the water, are pollu'cd, nud tlio o lor from the camps is perceptible for many milos. Day and night tho devotocs pour through the groat thoronghfa: p-i of tho country to and from tho festival in parties of from ton to five hundred, following so closely as to make an almost continuous prooosnion. Ninety-five out of every one hundred arc on foot, but occasionally somo great nabob sweeps past with an enormous retinue, or a rajah with his caravan of elephants, camels, horsemen, and swordsmen passes in all the grandeur and confusion of Indian royalty. They ride over tho poor wretches who line the roads, trample them down, and hurl imprecations upon thorn for blocking tho way. Homo march hundreds and somo thousands of miles to engage in tho festivals and to bathe in the sacred river. Many die on tho way, and all arrive lame and gaunt from hunger and fatigue, with their feet bound up in rags and their scanty clothing covered with blood and du3t. They rnalt into tho river as soon as they arrive, and drink the water as fast as thoy can scoop it up in their hands. They are fed from the totnple kitchen whore as many as 110,000 cooks are at work, and the food is distributed among them in a rudo way. When fresh it is not unwholesome, but too much of it produces indigestion and great sufferings. Tho half-starved pilgrims eat it like gluttons, rush into the water again to bathe and drink, and tho result is derangoment of the digestive organs. When they have eaten their fill, whatever food is left is preserved. It is sacred, and cannot be thrown away. Under the hot sun it soon bocomes poisonous to the pilgrims who eat it. In these hot-beds of disease, under conditions that would breed a plague anywhere, these pilgrims live. The heat is almost unendurable. The living, the sick, and tho dying are huddled together, with only just as much space as they can cover lying down. As fast as they die they aro buried in the sand. But on tho return journey the misery of the pilgrims reaches its height. They aro sick and lame, but stagger along until tho weak fall by the roadside to die. Their bodies lie thickly along the journey uncovered. Some drag their weary limbs until they reach a village, where they drop and L in. masses, blocking up the streets, until they get strong enough to move forward, or die of starvation and disease. It is impossible to calculate the number that perish. Tho Bishop of Calcutta estimates it at about one in Ave, and thoso who do not die on the journey, carry the germs of disease home with thorn, scattering pestilence along their path. Thus the cholera is started on its periodical march around the world. No great Asiastic pestilence has ever scourged the East and allowed the cities of Arabia to escape. The pilgrims to Mecca and the commercial caravaua to Damascus carry death in their train under any quarantine that can be devised, but tho attempts to establish quarantine are weak, ineffectual, and spasmodic. The holy city of Mecca is another great distributing point for oholera; in fact, it is a sort of cloaring-house for all sorts of infectious diseases. In 1865, it is said, 20,000 pilgrims died there from cholera in six days, and tho city for centuries has been tho focus of plagues, which havo been brought from all directions, and thence distributed by returning pilgrims over three continents. For many centuries thero has been an incessant stroam of pilgrims to and from Mecca. To bo present at the Kourban Bairatu is the great aim and end of Mohammedan life, and to reach there hundreds of thousands abandon homes and property, and undertake perilous and exhausting journeys. From the North Atlantio and Mediterranean shoves of Africa, from Timbuctoo and Western Africa, from Siberia, from the Danube and the Sea of Azof, from tho western provinces of China, from the cities of Europe, and from the most remote Mohammedan settlements, constant processions of pilgrims are passing to and from Mecca; for this pHgrimago, at least once in a life-time, is binding on all true Mohammedans, and he who dies without having made it, might as well have been a Jew, a Christian, or a dog. The return of one pilgrimage is never accomplished from any of the larger settlements before another is on the move. They arrive in great caravans, and the misery and hardships thoy endure aro equal to those suffered by the Hindu devotees. Home come by sea to Jedda upon native vessels, which are saturated with infectious poisons. Each passenger only receives sufficient space to squat upon. The intense heat of the day, the miasmas of tho night, privations of all sorts, the want of sleep and food and exeroise induce a physical condition but little short of death. Many die on board the vessels, but the most havo strength enough left to drag themselves to the holy oity. Those who go by land and on foot suffer even worse. In Mecca, all the essentials for an epidemic are constantly gathered, as well as the means for distributing the germs of disease broadcast. The pilgrimaiies in India and Arabia have received the attention of sanitarians for several years, but no means has yet been found, so strong is the religious sense, to prevent the dissemination of disease by them.

What a Boy Won't Do. A boy won't smoko his father's cigars when the box is kept in a burglar-proof safo and nonoof the stumps aro left lying around looe. He won't pour a nest of red ants down his little sister's back if the latter wears a high-neck dress and thore is suow on tho ground. Ho won't eat pie, if the pantry door is locked. He won't tie a tin can to a oat's tail if there is a dog handy. He won't go in swimming when his mother tells him not to, if skating is good. He won't play marbles for keops when he is busted, suck eggs when tho nest is empty, nor play hooky when school is out. In fact, a boy that is a boy won't do anything ho ought not to do, unless he gets a good chance and "nobody's looktn'." CincinHa.i Commercial Gazette.
