The investigation of the charges of attempted bribery by the promise of oflices in the Michigan senatorial contest is bringing out a very disgraceful state of allairs. .Senator Ferry's friend Bailey, it will be seen by the report of his evidence, is possessed of those views regarding public oflices that the people recently rejected.
A letter from Mr. Robert P. Porter to the New York Tribune describes the great woolen region of Yorkshire, England, where many thousands of yards of heavy and cheap cloths are turned out of its factories annually. "The employers are rich. The workmen nearly starve. High-priced overseers and foremen receive $7 a week. Toorhouses abound. Fifty thousand persons receive help every year. This picture is not likely to make American workmen yearn very earnestly for the blessings of free trade."
Speaking of Mr. Williams'candidacy for the colleetorship the Evening Gazette says: "While there is danger of the appoiutment of Mr. Williams, of Lafayette, to succeed Mr. Minsliall in the revenue oilice here, it should be borne in mind that such an appointment will probably imply the removal of the office to that city. It will certainly deprive Terre Haute of a valuable oilice to which her immense payment of taxes entitles her.
During the twelve months ended January 31,1SS2, the collections in this district aggregated S1, 5S !,9S1.I7. The estimated amount of taxes paid by the citv of Lafayette, proper, was S'25,000 the estimated amount of taxes paid by the city of Terre llaute, proper, was Sl,.vl0,000. "So far as the Gazette can learn, Republicans here are united in pushing the claims of Captain J. B. Ilager."
A Card I'roin Mr. Minsliall. To the Editor of tin- Express. Sin: I do not complain that no single word of friendly comment appeared in your paper on my resignation, but 1 do most emphatically complain of your publishing contemptibly moan innuendoes upon the subject.
Who are these parties before the weight of whose vast inlluence it is hinted I yielded, and through whom and in what manner was this great intluence exerted'.' 1 would like to know, for the reason that I thought my action was brought about solely by tin- own desire, and forthe further reason that it is not manly to speak in hints.
I was urged to accept this otiice for what was then considered the good of the party. After I had been in it a week, and seen the amount of labor in front of me, 1 would cheerfully have drawn my check for a thousand dollars to have honorably surrendered it. I have, however, gone through it. What was then in front is now behind INC icomplished, and while the energy c:.• ••tided can never be restored to mi, the result has been acknowledged in very complimentary terms by the Hon. Commissioner, which of course

is exceedingly gratifying. But at the end of it all the leading Republican paper which my efforts aided the party to acquire, lends itself to circulate mean innuendoes of parties who without its aid are too feeble to reach me and too contemptible to stoop to.
D. W. MINSIIALL.
Terre Haute, Feb. 14. [The temper in Mr. Minshall's card needs ho comment. As to the Express "lendingitself to circulate innuendoes" and the implication that while his opponents "are too contemptible to stoop" to reach him the paper is not, the Express desires to say a word or two. The" Express is a daily, morning newspaper, Republican in politics. Ii publishes news and is sold to the public. What it has done to which Mr. Minshall objects was purely in that line. If it had not done as it did it would havebeen suppressing news. The Republican party and those members of the party holding office, we do not believe can be injured by the publication of genuine news and we hardly think Mr. Minshall believes that in his own case he must rely upon ignorance of all thingi except thorfe which are to his benefit to stand well in the estimation of the "public. The Express does not lend itself to any faction in the Republican party for or against Mr. Minshall or for or against any other man. It is guided only by the purpose of being a good newspaper, furnishingthe general public with all the news, and at the same time furthering the interests of the Republican party in its entirety.]

What the Country Needs.
Harper's Weekly. '•There is unquestionably a general expectation that the revenue will be reduced, and if it is not reduced the Republicans will be justly held to account. In Hie present condition of the country and in the present, state of public sentiment the Democratic party would not dure to contest the election of I8S1 upon the total overthrow of the tarifl'. It is a wise apd fair administration of that system, without violent changes and with the purpose of reducing taxation and preventing a surplus, which is the reasonable public expectation. And it is by that administration, as shown in the action of congress, that parties will"be judged. While it is true that both sides are very reluctant to do anything, it is obvious that something must bo done. In this position could a Republican congress do better than follow the general recommendations of the Republican president in his annual message, so far as the tariff is concerned?"

SULLIVAX TALKING Bl'SIXKSS.
lie Wants to Fight Slade Without Six Months' Preliminary Hippodroming New York Sun.
John L. Sullivan, the Boston Hercules, writes to a friend in this city: "I hear a great deal of talk about Slade and myself meeting in the prize ring with bare knuckles. Now, what I want to say is this: "Slade says he has come 15,000 miles to meet me, and it won't be my fault if he isdisappointed. I am prepared to fight him at any time and in any state where we can have it done without the interference of authorities, from one week to three months from the date of signing these articles, for from \000 to S'-'O.OOO a side, ami would much rather l'mht for the latter sum. I d. n't want any six months about it, ns Slade's backer proposes. If he means business live weeks is enough for any man to train and get himself in line trim. "if Slade won't make a match, I will follow him and the combination up

and challenge him at every place he stops to give an exhibition. In the good old days of Tom Hyer, Yankee Sullivan and John Morrissey a match was made and the fight came off without the party going around through all the states in the Union giving exhibitions. I want to call Mace's attention to what he told a Sun reporter on January 27. He remarked: 'We don't want any glove hippodroming. I want Slade to fight a battle with bare knuckles in a 24-foot ring that's what I came here for.' Now, I see the Mace-Slade combination is advertised to travel about the country giving exhibitions. It seems to me Mace has changed his mind very quickly. If Slade's backer will name time and place where a match can be made safely, my backer will be ready to meet him and put up a forfeit of not less than S2,500 a side as a first deposit. "I don't care for the championship of the world, but claim the championship of America, and will let no foreigner take it away from me without a hard fight. I want this to be my last fight, win or lose. After the fight I will retire from the ring. Where there has been so much smoke there ought to be some fire, and it is about time that the fire showed itself. I hope tliat they will now stop all this newspaper talk and come to business, and I will leave it to the public to judge who means fight."
Mace said to a reporter of the Sun: "In matches for the championship the battle is seldom arrange to take place in less than six months from signing the articles. I have fought over a dozen battles for the championship, and have always had from fourtosix months in which to prepare myself. Slade has been only a short time in America, and it would be unfair to ask him to fight in the time specified by Sullivan. If he had his own way he would light now, but his backer and myself will not consent to his arranging a match unless he has reasonable time to prepare himself. Slade, in my opinion, is able to fight any man living, and he will fight Sullivan any time six months after signing the articles. According to the rules ot the London prize ring for the championship a pugilist is allowed six months as the limit, at the end of which, if challenged, he must relinquish the claim or fight."
WHY BL.AINE KICKED.
His Daughter's Marriage to a GrnyIleailecl Lothario. Washington Cor. Chicago Herald.
The Blaine-Coppinger nuptials,which were celebrated yesterday, though attended with gorgeous ceremonies and honored with the presence of the president, cabinet and Supreme court judges, have yet given rise to no end of comment, and to-night the busy tongue of gossip is hung in the middle. There are several incongruities in the match, which alone excite talk. The idea that the accomplished daughter of so great and rich a man as Mr. Blaine should want to marry a penniless and gray-bearded army officer, with but a stained social position at best, a person of obscure birth, of opposite religion, and a man who had been publicly proclaimed as the destroyer of one household, at least, is what puzzles society. It is but justice to Mr. Blaine to say that he opposed the match from the outset. He did it not only on account of disparity in years and social position, but Coppinger's record was not unknown to him. Coppinger is not a West Pointer. He was appointed to the army through the power of an ultra Irish influence in New Y'ork, which was no guarantee or recognition of anything but votes. Twelve or fifteen years ago he was known as a kind of "wild Irishman in the saloons and a gallant Irishman among the ladies. He was ordered to California in 1868, and it was there and then that the dashing colonel (he was a captain in those days) achieved his great feat of storming a household and compelling a surrender of its citadel.
Mr. Thomas M. Cash was then representative in San Francisco of the New Y'ork Herald. He had a young, pretty and fascinating wife. Cash and his wife and Coppinger lived in the same house. Cash's newspaper duties kept him out nights. Captain Coppinger's military duties were such that he could stay in nights. The result was that the gallant captain and the lady were thrown together much, and it soon got so that while Cash was sending oft' Herald specials his wife and the captain were doing special work at the theatres and restaurants. There is no need to indicate the result. One day Cash found some letters,put a watch on liisspouse, wenthimself home suddenly one evening and found the gallant captain in unmilitary attireand his wife unfitted forappearance on the street. Instead of making cold meat of Coppinger, or starting a lead mine with him, Cash pocketed his wrong. Once discovered, the lady and the captain fled east, and Cash perpetrated a diabolical revenge by publishing a pamphlet giving full particulars of the escladnaire, and copios of letters that had passed between the guilty pair. Mr. Cash, with a true news instinct, made several columns of the matter, and wound up with a pathetic appeal for the public's sympathy.
Coppinger and the lady went to St. Louis. Cash reported his wife's lover to the war department, and the captain would, no doubt, have been tried for "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" if Cash had not made such an ass of himself. The war department could hardly afford to redress the wrongs of a man who advertised himself broadcast as a cuckold. The only thing the army people did was to give Coppinger a hint to drop the lady and assign him to other duty. Poor Cash, broken hearted and ruined, not to say jeered at, and losing his place on the Herald because of it, got into the employ of the Central Pacific rail rood company, and when last heard of was a ticket agent down in Arizona. The facts are all known, and in spite of the brilliant wedding yesterday there are many who believe that the" gallant Coppinger Iiardlv dared lift his eyes yesterday, lest the vision of the" ruined Mrs. Cash should present itself. It is no wonder that Mr. Blaine kicked at the match he ought to have kicked hard enough to break it.
Alter Too Much Quail.
New York Sun. A genteel-looking, middle-aged man, with gold eyeglasses, cold gray eyes, and an impassive face, was taken before Justice White at the Tombs yesterday by Policeman Condon of the Oak street station. The prisoner was attired in along gray ulster, which, as it fell aside, revealed a spare form. His face was one likely to be remembered—a dark skin, brown moustache, and iron gray hair parted in the middle. "W. S. Walcott, Forty-second street and Second avenue," Justice White read from the policeman's affidavit. "You are not Walcott, the quail eater?"
The man nodded his head, and Po

liceman Condon said "yes" very confidently. "Was he very much intoxicated?" "Yes, sir. I arrested +iim at 3:45 yesterday afternoon. He was quite 5runk."
Justice White looked at the prisoner cautiously for a moment. He stood carelessly, apparently unconscious of the inspection. "Well," said the justice thoughtfully, "you are discharged."
GEN. TOOMBS' WHIM.
The Story of Wliy He Disinherited His Granddaughter—An Anecdote. Atlanta Constitution.
Yesterday a Constitution reporter met an old friend of Gen. Toombs, and remaiked: "I understand that a few days ago Gen. Toombs disinherited his granddaughter, Miss Du Bose, because-she married against his will. Don't you think he will reconsider?" "I do not," was the emphatic reply. "Gen. Toombs is very bitter on that point, and when I think of all the circumstances, I am sure that he means all that he has done, and that he will remain immovable." "Tell me of the circumstances," said the reporter. "It is along story,"" replied the narrator. "It would read like a romance if properly pictured, but I don't mind telling you if you will be content with the facts minus the coloring. It is a sad story to me, because I always felt an interest in the lordly Georgian and the different members of his family. His life, his wealth, his princely manner of living, his bright and towering intellect would make him an object of interest among thousandsof his fellowmen, while the dashing brilliancy of his early exploits and the career of his maturer years throws around him a sort of romance that fascinates me. Nearly his whole life is before us now, for Bob Toombs has about retired from the scene of action where he has been such a giant figure. I am sorry that Gen. Toombs has done this act. He can afford to forgive his granddaughter and bestow all his hate on the Yankees if he chooses to do so. He can afford to hate the Yankees, for it is a matter of little concern what one man does, so long as the balance of the south has accepted the situation and has almost forgotten that there ever was a war. But to do^ as one pleases is the blessed privilege of the 21-year-old American, so I guess it is not for me to say that Gen. Toombs has done wrong in disinheriting his grandchild because she married the man of her own choosing. But to the story. Miss DuBose and Mr. Colley were engaged and the general objected. Now Mr. Collej' is a worthy young man against whose moral character no charge can be brought. He was a clerk in one of the stores in Washington, and was not wealthy, but to that fact Gen. Toombs did not object. The general did not like the Colley family, and lie urged his grandchild to give up the idea of marrying Mr. Colley. She pleaded and he remonstrated. He threatened and she became determined. Finally he told her that in his will he had bequeathed her §60,000, and spoke of that to show the interest lie felt in her. She would not promise to give up Mr. Colley, and finally Gen. Toombs got out the will and showed her the paragraph where the fortune was left to her. She was not to be mo-ved. He offered to make it §90,000. She said she would promise not to marry Colley during Toombs' lifetime. The General, in his accustomed way, said he would pay nobody to postpone an act until his death. He threatened to disinherit her, but she never moved from her position. Finally Gen. Toombs told her that unless she would promise not to marry Colley he would have his will changed and would not leave her a cent. She replied that if she must choose between the two she would be disinherited. Miss DuBose proceeded to show her grandfather that if she was driven out she would have to be married at once. The General tore around, and Miss DuBose communicated with her friends, and the result was that the marriage was arranged for and took place that day. Gen. Toombs took his will out, had it changed disinheriting Miss DuBose, and added a paragraph providing that none of his property should go to her, directly or indirectly."
There is no telling what the general will do about the matter. Nobody yet ever knew Bob Toombs. Governor Stephens tells a good story illustrative of Toombs' character. In slavery times Toombs and Stephens both had a negro apiece. Of course they bail several negroes apiece and more, and in fact Toombs had a horse-lot full. But they had these particular negroes, and one day the two negroes ran away. Toombs was in a towering passion, and offered $500 reward for liis negro. Stephens offered §50 if his negro would never come back any more. In a few days Stephens' negro was back, but days and days passed and Toombs' negro never was heard from. One duy Toombs and Stephens were, in their quarters in the old United States hotel when the country was in a ferment. A company of men had come in to ask the advice of the giants on some question or other. Toombs' advice was characteristic. Stephens urged order and conservatism. Toombs got mad and swore like fury. The men withdrew and Toombs walked the floor, fuming and swearing and tearing around, while Little Aleck came in for a share of his condemnation for the contrary advice he had given. There was a raj) at the door, and Toombs answered it. It was a man who had Toomb's runaway negro. Toombs took the negro into the room. While the negro was endeavoring to evade the police he had been shot in the hand and the wound had never been dressed. He presented a pitiable plight with his soiled clothes and bloody hand. As soon as Toombs saw him his manner changed. A moment before he was as furious as a. lion then he was as gentle as a woman. lie sent off in great haste for surgeon and had the negro's hand dressed. He got him a new suit of good clothes and had abed fixed for him in the room, and the runaway slave slept in the same room with Toombs and Stephens during the remainder of their stay in the city. Toombs seemed to forget how mad he was."

Australia is awakening to the value of her public lands, and complaint is made of the rapid decrease of the acreage under the control of the government. From statements made in parliament it appears that 20,000,000 acres have been given away to secure the cultivation of less than 2,000,000 acres and while land has been given to more than 100,000 selectors or settlers, only 30,000 of them remain upon the land.
In Indiana-the keeping of sheep for wool and mutton is" steadily increasing. According to the United States census of 1880 there were in this state 1,020,570. In 18S2 the Indiana bureau of statistics reported 1,092,701. In 1879 the wool clip of the state was 3,894,125 pounds in 1880 it was 4,886,648 pounds, and in 1882 it rose to 5,085,150 but for some reason the average fleece seems to have been lighter last year than it was in 1880, for the clip should have been 101,130 pounds more last year than was reported.
A. B. Hostetter, secretary of the Illinois Short-Horn Breeders' association, requests all who are interested in that noble beed of cattle to send to him any information which would be of general interest, or suggestions as to subjects which might be interesting or valuable for discussion, or plans by which the short-horn interest may be promoted. He also requests all breeders of sliort-horns to send to him the number of those cattle they own, the address of short-horn breeder in their respective neighborhoods, and the number of farmers in their counties using thoroughbred short-horn bulls. Full and accurate answers on these points will furnish information of great value.
