111: NI:I IS NO AIIVICE.

WASHING ION, Nov. 4.—It will bo remomberod that soveral days ago Governor Hill, of Now York, addressed a lettor to Sue rotary Noble complaining of tho incomplotonoss of tho official onumorution of tho city of New York during the taking of tho consus and demanding a rocount In tho course ol his letter the Governor said: "Your conviction as to tho completeness of U10 Federal count Is undoubtedly based upon your confidence in the thoroughness of the work dono by the Federal employes, but tho same confidence does not seem to be shared, I regret to say, by any considerable portion of the peoploof Now York. Nor do tho peoplo of that olty appear to share your belief in the unimpeachable character of the Fedoral enumerators. This Is a time for plain words. Every onumerator selected to count tho Inhabitants of that great Demooratio elty was a partisan of tho party now In control of the Natlonul Govornmeut appointed for past political service and upon the rcoommondallon of local party leaders. Many of them wero notoriously Incompetent, Ignorant and careless. It was to tholr political Interest that the party from which they had received patrouaijo should be the bonetlciary of their labors. Under tho9e conditions the suspicion Is hardly unju8tillnble that, directly or indirectly, political motives to a largo dogreo explain the defectiveness of tho Federal oount."

Secretary Noblo has mailed tho following letter to Governor Hill: "HON. DAVID ii. iin.i^ GovEitson OF THE STATE or NKW YORK—Sir: Your communication of the 3lst ult. was duly reefved. There had already been delivered to mo letter from the mayor of the city of New York on the same subjeci—the claim of that city to a rocount of Its population by the United States census authorities. While you linvo added tho weight of the Governor's office to the oomplaint, you have fulled to add to that already presented by the mayor a slnglo suggestion of tho slightest value. It was wholly unnecessary for you to remind mo of the provisions of tho constitution of tliq Unltod States relating to enumeration and apportionment of representatives or the Electoral College or the provision of the census law allowing amendments and recounts. All of this was very familiar law to me and your quotation ..( It might have been copied from my last opinion delivered to tho mayor, and which you say you had read lu the nowspapers. "Neithor did I need any exhortation upon the subject of fair apportionments, as an equal apportionment throughout tho United States and tho perfect freedom and equalttj-of the individual eleotor Is a reform to which 1 have given my earnest support and which is worthy that of every public officer and every lndvldual citizen. Had you read the correspondence with the mayor, yhosejB ediate concern this business has been, you would have "found your topio already exhausted. "It Is muoh to bo rogretted that in a letter to me when acting upon a purely official matter you, as Governor, should speak as a partisan and impute a corrupt purpose to the oensus enumerators to secure party advantage by diminishing the count of the city of New York. Your imputation ngainBt the enumerators and tho census work Is so entirely gratultlous and unfounded as to bo slanderous, as you should know that your abusive course could not tend to promote that fair and judlotal consideration I have bean disposed to give to tho application of tho mayor. Your charge imputing fraudulent motives to others rather suggests that as your party thinks an increased population would lnuro to its advantage, tho oount of the police (taken as It has been since the police board of New York has been mado partisan) needs the very olosest scrutiny and analysis. Tho oharges now being mado In New York against tho city government by Democrats are not of a kind to rellove any work done by it from the gravest suspicion of reckless partisanship. "Your aocusntlons, heretofore oonflned to Interviews and stump speeohes, began even before tho enumeration wns announced. Some of the Democratic nowspnpers In New York and elsewhere mude the census enumerators' work very difficult by exciting tho prejudice of ignorance, and it Is to bo remarked that you as early as the 1st of July last made an addross before the Hendricks Club at Indianapolis, Ind., In which you bitterly assailed tho Census Office and its work, and asserted, without any knewlcdgo whatever, the same ovll purposo you now send to me officially. You then repented tho newspaper criticisms and spolte of tho 'great army of inquisitors sent prying into our house* asking Impertinent questions, making falso records,' cte., and you did not full to notice the possible effeot of all this hi raising popular distrust and disinclination to respond to tho enumerators. You did not .succeed in these efforts to uny considerable degree, but you are largely responsible for any Inaccuracies that may oxlai. You sot tho example by denouncing a law of Congress and the suggestion of Its violation by your less acute political followers. Your early and continuous partisan assaults upon the census bavo had necessarily a motive which is easily discerned. That motive points to an unjust end w'-.lch I certainly shall not promote. It Is but just that tboro should bo no delay in completing the census, that the purposes for which it is intended inny be accomplished. "You further asserted In the speech mentioned that it tho Republican party) will not rcpudln'e that oven more plainly declared policy breaking the power of the solid South in

Presidential as well as Congressional elections by deliberately Ignoring tho vast increases of population In that section of the oountry during the last decade. Tho truth is no complaint whatever has been received from any Southern State, as a State, against tho census, aud the only serious claim of an erroneous diminution of population and representation by a State came from tho Republican State of Oregon. Out of tho 2,781 counties iu all tho States aud Territories there has boon no complaint whatever save from Multnomah County In Oregon. There has not been a complaint from any Southern city that has not been promptly and satisfactorily adjusted without a recount save at Columbus. Ga., and thero was found an increase of 1,138 only. "You seem to bo against census to be taken oven by your own State, for you vetoed a bill passod by its Legislature In 1885 and which was required by its constitution. It is reasonable to suppose that the patronage you seem to think so influential In political affairs would not liuvo fa'len into your hands, or, judging you by the standard you apply to others, your

official

action would have been just the opposite of what it win. "As I have demonstrated, the general body of tho people of the United Sta'.os aro content With tho census and nre uninfluenced by partisan assaults such as yours. Sustalnod by their conlldence, I shall proceed with the dlsohnrge of my official duties in this and other business oomlug before me, carefully and justly, correcting what I may lie convinced is wrong and fearlessly adhering to what I believe to bo

OOVEKNOB HILL'S ltKTOHT. ELMIKA, N. Y., NOT. 4.—Governor Hill arrived in this city late Monday night. A reporter was admitted to his room in tho Ilathburn House and showod him a copy of Secretary Noble's letter. He said after looking' it over: "I am suspriscd that Mr. Noble refused to do Justice to New York City. The course hs has adopted Is iu keeping with the whole conduct of tho census business since It was undertaken at Washington, Neither Mr. Noble nor Mr. Porter Intended to give the people a fair count. The result shows that what I predicted In my Indianapolis speech to which he alludes has been verified. 1 saw indications then that Democratic localities were to be defrauded, and-it is now shown that they hnvo been. I rcltoruto tho charge that the ccnsus, so far as New York City Is concerned, is a base swindle that the plot was conceived at Washington to deprive New York Statu of an additional Representative iu Congress and sn additional electoral vote. It could hardly be expected that the officials who have carried out this sohemo would retrace their steps. They have dr.red public sentlmont In tho past and they are probably prepared to continue In the same oourse. Mr. Noblo seems to be very much disturbed bcoauso I attributed wrong motives to his census enumeration. I retract nothing that I have said."

A CLEVER THIEF.

Dow a Workman Iu a Watcli-Case Factory Stole (2o!t Worth Thousand*. NKW YOHK, Oct 4.—An extensive robbery which has boen carried on for over six months, during which time thousands of dollars' worth of gold has boon stolen from the American WatchCase Company of Newark, N. J., was brought to light Monday night by tho arrest of Adolph Newman, of Brooklyn. Newman was employed by the company to do its mixing and alloying. About six months ago Otto Opponheimer, of NewYork, manager of the company, noticed that tho watch cases being turned out by tho company were not up to tho standard that they should be considering the quantity of gold that was supposed to be used in them. A detective was employed, and it was discovered that Nowman in mixing the metal for tho cases used in addition to the sheet of gold another metal similar in appearance to copper. Tho detoctivo also followed Nowman every night after leaving tho shop and found that he wont to a certain place in Newark, the situation of which the police will not at present disclose, whore ho sold the stolen gold in largo quantitios at fortyfive cents a carat, tho market price being $1.35. After securing evidence enough against him Newman was arrested, and when, searched at police headquarters over 850 worth of gold was found in his pockofc A visit was also made to the place whore ho had been selling the gold and nearly SI, 000 worth was found. Newman when confronted with the evidence mado a full confession and told the police where -theyMfonld" flhd'-hn ndreda of dollars' worth of tho gold under a fire-place in his house. The watch-case company is satisfied that Newman's stealings will amount to thousands of dollars.

THE VKNUKT 1\V llKNEWKI). ELKIIOJIX, \V. VH., Nov. 4.— \Uu\ MoCoy, tho leader of tho notorious McCoy gang, was killed near Tennis Camp, Logan County, Friday ovoning, by a man named Dempsoy, of the Hatfield gang. Other parties aro supposed to havo assisted in tho killing. Tho country is wild with oxciteim*nt and it is believed that Dempsoy and his associates will bo found and tho death of McCoy avenged. Thero were eighteen bullets found in McCoy's body. McCoy is known to havo killod eight men, but ho has always cscapod punishment, [Bud McCoy was a member of tlie Kentucky family of Unit nntno which won more than National iiotority in the celebrated Hut field-Mo* Coy vendetta which 1m* rnged for many years in the mountain* along tho bnuu«ury between Kentucky and West Virginia. The war hetweon the Hattlolds and MoCoys bc^an in war times and has never ended. Murder and the abduction and milling of worn* en havo been frcquunt incidents in its progress. In 1862 Union men led by the McCoys killed two Confederates under tho Jlatflelds. Ono

McCoy who was wounded was hunted down and killed by tho other party: thus tho feud began. Nine years ago Johnson Hatttold stolo Randolph McCoy's daughter, ruined and desorted her. Arrested by West Virginia authorities, be was rescued by a raiding party of his kinsfolk. Six years ago Ellison BatfloUL ,was klllQd_hy. three McCoys, the murderers wero arrested, hut a raiding party of Hatflelds took thorn from the ofllcers. carried them into West Virginia, tied them to trees, and ridd!od tfccm with bullets. Two years ago ainnn named Tom Wallace stolo tho nleco of Jlerinnn Mr Coy. who was murdered in tho war time. The girl cscapcd from him after a time, but. he led a party of IJatlielda into Kentucky after her. Failing to find her, the raiders dragged her iuvalid mother, Mrs. Daniels, from bcr bed and beat her almost to death. Soon after this Jeff McCoy was caught by this sumo Wallaeo and ono Hatfield and was shot dead whilo swimming a river to escape.

The feud scion spread to outlying branches of tho two families. A nephew of X'erry A. Clino, a member of the Kentucky Legis lature, was munhrcd by the Ilutfleld gang. About the same time somo of tho men who had killed the three sons of Hundolph McCoy were arrested charged with tho murder. Tl»o maglstrato beforo whom they were arraigned was a member of tho gang that murdered Herman McCoy in 18W. He promptly discharged the prisoners. In tho early port of the year IW .lefl McCoy was shot in tho back by Captain Hatiicld and killed the night beforo New Y-^ur's day, 1868, a party of HatMeld partisan* "JnhQSO." Bob, Elliott and 'Cap" Hatlleld, Ellison Mounts, Jim and Dob Vance, Dick Whitt, Tom Mitchell. French KHis, Charles Gillespie and TOM Wallace—went over into Kentucky Keeking blood. In tho McCoy cabin were sleeping Mr. and Mrs. McCoy and thoir daughters Aliaphone, Addle and Fann'e. and their son Calvin. The iiiidars, all marked, knocked at the door, and belug rc»u«cd admittance tired the hou.se. As the llames caught ono of tho girls, AUaphene, ran from the house only to bo shot doad. Calvin, driven from tho cabin by the tiro, eamo ont and met tho same fate. Mrs. McCoy was struck down with a rock and crippled for life. Tho others esenped. In retaliation for this outrage a party of men. among whom was

McCoy, followed tho raiders to

tholr homes and killed Jim Vance. Kiltson Mounts for his T.hare in tho tragedy was hanged February last. Frank Phillips, who helped *o arrest Mounts, was murdered laA April. Jerry Hatfield, another member of the gang, was shot during tho samo month, and so the feud goes on, breaking out Into murderous frays and shooting affrays every few months.]
