MYERS’S INSULT REBUKED. A Stingins Letter from the Secretary of the National Prison Association. New York, Feb. 19, 1884. To lion. W. U. Myers, Secretary, etc.: My Dear Sir—Your letter of the Ist inst. was duly received. I havo delayed replying to it, thinking that iu your soberer moments you might want to recall, or at least apologize for so gratuitous an insult to this society, and so flagrant a disgrace to the office you hold. It seems that instead of sending an apology you have added to the discourtesy of your action by giving your letter to the press, without giving me the customary intimation that you intended to do so. It is not my purpose in this note to attempt to instruct you in your official conduct. 1 have neither the right nor the time to do that. I will merely express an opinion that such letters as the one referred to aro far more hurtful to the writer than to any one else. I am moreover sure that such insolence will receive a hearty rebuke from the press of your State, as well as the emphatic condemnation of that large body of your party that believes in a courteous and dignified, as well as an upright administration. You might have learned, had you taken the trouble to do so, that the National Prison Association of the United States is in no sense a partisan organization. There are both Democrats and Republicans, and all shades of both, iu its membership roll, and in its management. It has chosen Mr. Hayes president, not because of his party relationships, not because of his having been President of the United States, hut because of his intelligent and philanthropic interest In true prisoh reform. Perhaps such action may be beyond your comprehension, but you will understand me when l say that the association chose Mr. Hayes with the same unanimity that it will condemn your extraordinary official let ter. You seemed to forget, sir, that Mr. Hayes was our choice as President, and that, such being the case, your letter was an insult to the association, and not to him, as you intended it to be. I have not had the opportunity of laying your letter before our executive committee as yet, but shall do so next week at the time of our national conference. In the meanwhile, I am far surer that 1 represent the feeling of this association in the appended signature than you do the people of Indiana when you attach your official signature to a gratuitously insulting letter. Awaiting your apology (due far more to the people of your State than to this association), and begging leave to inform you that I shall give thL> letter to the press, I am, sir, yours indignantly. Wm. M. P. Round, Secretary of the National Prison Association of the United States.

Further Expression* of Press Opinion. BUT COL. MAYNARD DENIES THE AUTHORSHIP. Attica Ledger. Tho few friends of Myers, who disgraced the position of Secretary of State and received the denunciation of his own party at his old homo, are glad to accept the statement made by the Ledger last week, that the Hayes letter was written by Col. Maynard. This being a fact, it places Myers in a worse light than if he had really written the letter, for he indorsed it by giving it his signature, and at the same time proved that he hadn’t enough sense to write it himself. Myers is a nass. AN INSULT TO THE STATE. Corydon Republican. Such a letter was an insult to not only those whom he addressed, but to the whole State of Indiana, whom he represents in his official capacity. Whatever opinions he personally and individually entertains for Mr. Hayes he has a perfect right to express, but he lias no right to speak for the whole State of Indiana as “Secretary of State.” When he indited that letter he wrote himself down a stupendous ass, and we are glad to notice that even Democratic papers are found which condemn his course. BIT OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW. C’hiijcgo Newe A large number of respectable newspapers in alt parts of the country nave unsparingly criticised the fellow Myers, Secretary of State of Indiana, for his unprovoked and indecent assault upon R. B. Hayes. Viewing the affair from the most charitable stand point, Myers is a very fresh person, who imagined he was created for ~ njkc. ' no has probably discovered by this time that it is inconsistent with discretion to bite off more than one can chew. A PINAL FAREWELL. Munch* News. Bill Myers was as unfortunate in his late dis graceful letter as General Hancock was four years ago in fomulating bis celebrated letter on the tariff. There was this difference, however, the latter only showed his ignorance, while the former showed his ignorance and his ill-breed-ing. Bill may as well hang his political harp on the willow tree, warble his death song, and perform Japanese hari-kari. Farewell, a ioug farewell. William. POPULAR WITH HIS PARTY. Rochester Republican. No one need be surprised to see the name of Mr. Myers, Indiana's Secretary of State, announced for the presidency by his friends. His popularity has boon wonderfully increased among many of his party friends since his reply to Mr. Wiu. M. F. Round has been made public. Mr. Myers has shown the people just what kind of a fellow he is, and should be rewarded. HIS NEIGHBORS ASHAMED OF HIM. Martinsville Republican. Blackguard Myers, Secretary of State by grace of tho whisky ring, has been snubbed, sat upon and flattened out hv his own neighbors and partisans. At the Madison county Democratic convention, last Saturday, a resolution indorsing Myers failed to pass. His neighbors are evidently ashamed of him. PROSTITUTED HIS OFFICE. Peru Republican. William R. Myers has a right to his opinion of Rutherford B. Hayes and may express that opinion at any time without being subjected to criticism. But the Secretary of State has no right to prostitute his office by writing as a blackguard in an official communication. FAME AND NOTORIETY. (ireenabuig Standard. As William R. Myers, Secretary of State, has succeeded in widely advertising himself, probably he is satisfied with the result of his disgraceful letter. Mr. Myers should remember that fame and notoriety are two vastly different things. A FITTING SECRETARY. Aluticie News. It was eminently fitting that the party that elected tho late “fool Legislature” should also elect to the position of Secretary of State so foolish a man as W. R. Myers. Gen. Harrison for President. Interview with Wharton Barker, in Philadelphia Record. ‘‘What do von think of the candidates?” “I do not think the nomination of Mr. Arthur, of Mr. Logan, of Mr. Lincoln, or of Mr. Blaine could command the support of a majority of the voters. Mr. Edmunds, Mr. Evarts or Mr. Slier tuan would, I think, bo much better candidates; but I fear it would be imprudent for the party to risk the nomination of any one of these gentle men. Probably the Republicans could do noth ing better than to nominate Senator Harrison, of Indiana, though, of course, no one can foresee what will arise before the holding of the eonven tion. 1 know, at least, that Mr. Harrison would not abandon the protective idea in our tariff du ties or consent to set, whisky free, and I believe he would command the vote of all Republicans, (Regulars and Independents alike. He is a safe, cautious, intelligent man; one not to bo driven or persuaded against his judgment.” It is understood that a number of gentlemen connected with the Industrial League have had the views of Senator Harrison • laid before them, ami that they are in full accord with them. Mr. C. Jay Should Go. Greencasth* Times. All the evidence being brought out at Indian fipolis by the investigation of C. Jay French, the iron-clad mail service superintendent, seems to localize on the unanimous conclusion that C. Jay ihould go. The News Thieves. Torre Huuto Express. In.

So it will be seen that nothing more will he accomplished by the law t han to prevent the prolonging of matter gathered at great expense before the journal which owns it has an opportunity to get it before its readers. KHARTOUM AS IT IS. Description of the Beleaguered City by TJeu-teiiant-Coloncl Stewart. Notes made iu February, JbS3. The town of Khartoum, the capital of the Soudan, and chief trade emporium for the whole country, is built on a barren, stoneless, and wide plain, on the western bank of the Blue Nile, and about a mile above its junction with the White Nile. Its river froutage is about one and a half mile; its depth inward from the river about a mile. As its site is somewhat lower than the point reached by both rivers when in Hood, a dyke fifteen to twenty feet in height has been made along the banks of the Blue Nile, another somewhat lower, immediately at the back of the town, to protect it against the overflow of the White Nile. When at their lowest point both streams aro from 000 to 800 yards in width, and have several islands, which are cultivated. The White Nile is unfordable except iu one or two places far up the river, but the Blue can be forded in many places above the town. When in flood the White Nile increases its width to a very great extent, but not so the Blue Nile, as its banks are much steeper. Around Khartoum are several small villages. Both above and below the town are small plantations of date palms and plantains, also a number of vegetable gardens. According to an old custom or privilege none of these gardens pay any taxes; with the exception of the river banks the country is bare and treeless. During the hot season, which lasts from the beginning of April till the middle of November, the heat is severe, averaging in the shade 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The rains generally begin about the middle of July and last till the middle of September. They are, however, said to he very irregular, and sometimes there is little or no rain fall. In the rainy season the barren ground stretching between the two rivers is covered with grass, affording very good pasture. The rivers begin to rise on June 1. and reach their highest points about the beginning of September. They remain stationary at that point till about the 15th, and then begin to fall. The cold weather begins about the middle of December, and lasts till the middle of February. From November till March high north winds prevail, and during the remainder of the year south. In winter sometimes the thermometer goes down as low as forty-six degrees Fahrenheit; except in the regular rainy season there is no rain. The unhealthy season is during the months of June, July, October. November, when typhoid fevers and dysentery are prevalent. The winter is the healthy season. The resident population is generally estimated at from 50,000 to 55.000 souls, of whom twothirds are slaves. There is also a floating population estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 souls, and consisting of Europeans, Syrians, Copts, Turks, Albanians, and a few Jews. The free resident population are mostly Makhass or aborigines, Dongolawees, from Dongola; Shaghiyes, from a district along the Nile, north of Khartoum, and Rubatat. a district north of Berber. The slaves belong mostly to the Nuba Dinka, Shulook, Berta and other negro tribes. Both the free population and the slaves are all Mohammedans of the Maliki school of divinity, aud are also followers of either the Rufai, Kadri. Hamdi or Sadii sect of dervishes. They are very superstitious. Their political creed is to side with whichever side is the strongest. The free inhabitants arc mostly engaged in trades or commerce, and the slaves in agriculture. or else hired out as daily laborers by their masters. But few are employed a.s domestic servants. It is said that a master always makes a point of marrying his slave as soon as possible, partly to attach him to the place and partly for the profits lie will derive from the children. It is also reported that slaves bom in the coun try improve greatly in appearance as compared with the parent stock. Os the floating population the C( pt.s are mostly employed in government service or trade. The Turks, Albanians, etc., are generally irregular soldiers or loafers. The European element is represented by about 100 individuals, mostly Greeks. There aro also some Italians, French, Austrians, and Germans. Except the manufacture of mats, cotton clotiio. a rope made from palm leaves, and some liligree silver work, there is no manufacture worth speaking of. The bazaar is of considerable size, and tolerably well supplied with Manchester goods, cheap cutlery, etc. The export and import trade is considerable, and, besides numerous caravans, is said to employ over 300 boats of various sizes. In shape the town is very irregular. Its appearance is also poor and miserable. Except the government house and one or two other buildings, there is hardly a house worthy of the name. The houses are mostly built of sundried brick, generally without an upper story. and nearly all surrounded by court-yards with mini walls. To prevent these houses crumbling away during the rains they are every year plastered over with dung before the rainy season commences. This plastering process is doubtless the cause of a good deal of the illness. As the town is so low there is no drainage, and the consequence is that during the rains the whole place is deep in water, and it is almost impossible to move abput. As there is no stone throughout the whole district the streets are full of dust during the summer and mud during the rains. The chief buildings are: Government house and offices, largo brick building on the banks of the Blue Nile: arsenal, with smithy, carpenter’s shop, smelting furnaces, stoves, etc.: attached to this arsenal are some fourteen steamers for the navigation of the rivers, and also boats of various kinds; a large, commodious hospital. built by Colonel Gordon; a mosque or jami, built by KUurshid Pasha; a sibi or small mosque, provided with a well and some rooms for the convenience of travelers and poor people; a large barracks of mud, without an upper story, and "a large barrack square; powder magazine and workshop for the refilling of cartridges; a large Roman Catholic missionary building, es tarnished in 1848; stone building; with garden, church, etc:* a small Coptic church. As to the attitude of the population, Lieuten-ant-colonel Stewart wrote on Jan. 1(>, 1HH0: •'Of the 50,000 or 55.000 inhabitants (including 30.000 slaves) of Khartoum, if 1 am to believe what I hear, I must consider the majority as unfriendly to the government. I have been assured that many government employes, and nearly all the native traders, are secret partisans of the Malidi, in the hope that he will reestablish the slave trade. It is questionable how far those statements are justified, but perhaps l shall not be far from the truth in saying that the majority will take whichever side they see is the strongest.”

Wliy Mr. Hasson Did Not Attend a Wedding. Correspondence Cleveland Leader. In 1861, when John A. Kasson came to Washington to be Lincoln's First Assistant Postmaster general, he had a right to hope that he might some day ho President, and this hope may have kept up during his long years of congressional and diplomatic service, but it must be dead now. The preference of Keifor over iiim as Speaker of the last Congress was a bitter pill, and it was one of the many private and public ones ho has taken. His private tronbles have been especially hard. He separated from bis wife many years ago. and now goes about in society a lone old bachelor of sixty-two. A few years ago, while calling in St. Louis. lam told, his friend invited him to go home and dine with him. 3lr. Kasson consented to do so, when the man continued: "By the way, there is to be a marriage at our church to night, and we expect to attend." Kasson inquired the name of the bride, and found that it was his wife about to marry again. He concluded to remain in town. Protection to the News Gatherer. Lafayette Journal. The man who invents a printing press or any other valuable machine wishes to secure to himself the fruits of his skill, enterprise and outlay. The news he collects requires skill, labor and outlay of money. He is therefore as much en titled to protection as the inventor of a machine of any kind. Advertising by the Square Foot* The Soisaore. Indianapolis has a daily which sets itself above its more able contemporaries as an advertising medium. It is patent, both to the fraternity Hiid the advertising public that space is had in this same daily at stcon cents per square (foot.)

A SOLDIER’S RELIGION. Chinese Gordon’s Modest Estimate of His Own Powers. Pi,II Mall Gazette. Slightly built, somewhat below the average height. General Gordon's most remarkable characteristic at first sight is a childlike simplicity of speech and manners. Notwithstanding his fifty years, his face is almost boyish in its youthfulness, his step is as light and his movements as lithe, as the leopard. Although he is still excitable and vehement’, those who know him best say that he has under much firmer control those volcanic fires which blazed out with fiercest fury in his younger days, as, for instance, when he hunted Li Ilung Chang, revolver iu hand, from house to house day after day, in order to slay the man who had dishonored and massacred the prisoners whom he had pledged his word to save. But there is that in his toco at times, even now. that contrasts strangely with the sweetness of his smile, or the radiance which lights up his face when discounting on his favorite author and the choice texts of the “Imitation v (Thomas a-Kempis), which for the present seems to have superseded his old favorite, “Watson on Contentment.” “This,” said ho, holding a gma.ll of tho “Imitation” in his hand, “is my oddk. And. though I never shall be able to attain to a hundredth part of the perfection of that saint. I shall strive toward it —the ideal is here." General Gordon carries with him the saintly ideal of the cloister into the rough realities of the camp. His selfish humility and absolute abnegation was broken only now and then by a morbid horror of publicity*or praise. “No gilt,” he would exclaim imperiously, rubbing a brightly-polished fireiron as he spoke. “No gilt, mind; no gilt. Say what is to be said, but no praise. Remember,” ho added, with a smile, “it is the superior who praises his inferior,” an observation which, taken by itself, conveys a curiously false impression of the motive of his distaste of laudation. “In all my career,” he once wrote, “I can lay no claim to cleverness, discretion or wisdom. My success has been due to a series of (called by the world) liukes. When one knows the little one does of one’s self, and anyone praises you. I, at any rate, have a rising in the gorge which is a suppressed ‘You lie.’” To him “a true perception of the gospel is entire emptiness of self, an utter absence of any pretensions, a complete and entire refusal to accept the world’s praise or judgment. Who is he, or who is any man, that he should he praised? I do nothing. I am a chisel which cuts the wood. The carpenter di rects it. If I lose my edge, he must sharpen me; if he puts mo aside and takes up another, it is his own good will. None are indispensable to him. He will do his work with a straw equally as well.”

The Newspaper Copyright. -Lafayette Journal. The law will work no injury to papers that get their news in a legitimate way. It will put a stop to pirating news, and to using the fruits of the labor, enterprise and money of publishers who get original news. It is a measure that will prevent them from being robbed by the concurrent publication of that to which they should have the exclusive right, according to all the rules of business honor. The Best Work for the Party. Indianapolis News. As usual, when abuse or extravagance is pointed out, the cry goes up from those interested in keeping them up. that the party is being attacked. If the good work the Journal has begun is an attack on the Republican party, all we have to say is that it is high time the party was attacked. But the truth is the Journal is doing its party the best service it can in censuring abuses in public trust. No l>oubt of French’s Tyranny. Plainfield Progress. The grievances against Mr. French are many and of long standing, and enough has been elicited already to place the accused on the list of Tyrants. We hope, for the sake of the overworked and underpaid postal clerks, that the investigation will be most searching and thorough, and Mr. French discharged if guilty, of which we are led to believe there is not a shadow of doubt. The Cry of Despair. Washington Post. (Dom.) Wanted very, very badly: A Democratic leader in the House of Representatives. Serviceable housekeepers’ aprons are made by taking two long breadths of fine white cotton cloth. Cut one breadth in two parts, and put one of these on at each side, so that there will not be a seam in the front of the apron; make with a deep hem and a broad insertion of rickrack. or of Hamburg, or of darned net.
