GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS. A Clergyman Defends the Report of the Ministers in the Cleveland Case. The Recent Outrage at Augusta Considered an Adroit Scheme to Throw Calumny on Mr. Blaine—A Former Libel. TWO INVESTIGATIONS. A Clergyman Defend* the Report of the Buffalo Clerical Association. They can know nothing personally of the immoralities of men who are not members of their congregations. What they learn about them insure to be hearsay, the tattle of the busybodies who are delighted to be able to tell the pastor of the wickedness which is going on among people who make no pretense of being religious, and they are apt to receive it with a credulity which is sometimes very unfortunate.—From the Report of the Sixteen Independents. To the Editor of the New fork Sun: The independents of Buffalo—those which remain even unto this day—appointed a committee of investigation, and upon the report of this committee they base the verdict which they have given to the world. So, weeks ago, the Clerical Association of Buffalo appointed a similar committee, formed a verdict, which, though not embodied in any formal statement, has been sufficiently given to the world. Now, I am very sure that it is not wise in any controversy to call names, as the boyß would say, hut I greatly fear that the two simple facts which I have recited, taken in connection with the quotation from the letter-missal of the Buffalo independents, which I prefix to my eommu nication, go very far to justify the epithet of Pharisee, which in the present day is not unconnected with the name of independent Certainly it is a bit of egotism which this political remnant rolls under its tongue, and with manner so bland as to give the impression that it is their favorite and daily food. I ask leave to justify this inference by two or three plain and simple reasons. First —The Clerical Association of Buffalo are more in number than the Republican admirers of the honorable defendent, who now constitute the independents of the same city. Secondly—They are as well qualified to sit in judgment upon the evidence of the case. Our critics and opponents here are made up of business men ana lawyers; some of them without a liberal education, and some others yet ambitiously waiting for a large professional knowledge of evidence and its use in the court-room? Thirdly—lt is not an overbold claim that we make when we aspire to the credit of equal honesty with the noble remnant But more than this, even. We had special advantages of an incidental character. We had no companion to defend, nor espoused candidate to acquit We have not been "hail fellows” in the office and the club, and our investigation was completed before the fatal meeting of the independents in the city of New York. We also gathered our evidence at a time when its political importance was not suspected, and when the original parties, under no constraint, and with no artificial hopes, were likely, if ever, to tell a true and natural story. These are some of the reasons which make me almost willing to charge our righteous remnant with a slight leaning towards a pharisaic egotism. Bear the conclusion of the whole subject. In a matter of the gravest moral import and of the deepest public concern, without any partisan ambition or motive, we have sat as jurors and made known, in letters written by our own hands, our verdict We have not ‘ •invoked our office” any more than the lawyer and the politician have invoked their offices, but have only exercised the right of our manhood and our citizenship—rights which are not forfeited but emphasized by our calling. While we make no claim of superior wisdom or virtue, it is not in -our mind to concede this superiority to those who differ from us —not even the remnant of independency in our own city. There is neither social, nor moral, nor Intellectual reason why they should go above us. We have said to the public if you vote for the honorable defendant you vote for a man who, if elected, cannot take his family to the White House. They have said. His reputation for morality has always been good, and even we, who are political purists, expect to vote for him. Let clean and conscientious men judge between the two verdicts. A Buffalo Clergyman. Buffalo, Aug. 16. THE OUTRAGE AT AUGUSTA. An Adroit Scheme to Throw Calumny Upon Mr. Blaine. kngnsta Special. The desecration of the memorial which marks ;he grave of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine’s eldest child, n the Stanwood lot in Forest Grove Cemetery, s the great sensation here to-day, and the talk sverywhere throughout the city. As well it night, the affair has aroused the indignation of ill free-minded people, and no epithets are found oo scathing to characterize the meanness of the nfamous perpetrator of this outrage. The nemorial consists of a marble cross resting on a quare base. On each of the four faces of this ase is an inscription. On the first is "Bom anuary, 18—died July 31, 1854” On the second, ‘He shall gather the lambs with His arms and arry them in His bosom.” On the third. ‘Stanwood Blaine.” On the fourth, “Son of ames G. and Harriet S. Blaine." Not only was the figure in the date of the irth removed, but the letters and other porions of the memorial were removed. Around ie eross is the design of a climbing morninglory vine in marble. This was also scratched nd defaced. The job was evidently done by a angler. Hundreds of people have visited the jot during three days past, and the grass of the it is completely trodden down. The perpetrator of the deed is undoubtedly a emocrat, and it is the result of an adroit scheme > throw suspicion and calumny upon Mr. Blaine. II the circumstances connected with the case >iut in this direction I have indicated within a fortnight that Mr. laine’s enemies here were making a deterined effort to bring charges against his private laraeter, and this is a portion of their work. Hich operations as this can but react upon them, ■jwever, and their loss will be greater than Heir gain. ■ The fact that the memorial had been defaced Hst leaked out through Democratic channels Hme two weeks ago. A well-known Boston Hti-Blaine daily, in an article expressed a desire Hat the Democratic press would not support He calumnies against Mr. Blaine, and at the Hme time spoke of the Augusta desecration Hiis was before any of Mr. Blaine’s friends had Kowledge of the removal of the date. It has Hcently come to light that there have been sevHal Democratic leeches who have been forwardHg large quantities of matter to Boston and Kw York journals for publication which those Hpers very discreetly refuse to publish. HAnother suspicious fact is that the defaced Himorial has been photographed by the DemoHits. This occurred week before last, and was Hne by a well-known photographer of this place, Hio was employed by one of the leading DemoKts of the city. The operation was performed Han early hour in the morning, before people Hre astir. To-day a negative on glass was seen la reliable gentleman, in the possession of Hs same Democrat ■There was a story afloat this morning that a Hf was missing from the city records, containH; the date of thtchild's birth, but it is without Hindation. H THE BLAINE LIBEL. Hmocratlc Paper* of Maine Taking a Hand Hi —A Former Slander. Special. Mihere was an understanding among the Dem■tic papers in Maine for a time that in conHsting the fight no attacks would be made Hjn Mr. Blaine’s domestic life. But within the two or three days they have begun to take a Hid in the general mud-throwing. The Argus, is one of the most venomous. YesHday it said with much bluster that Blaine’s suit was only a bit of bluff, and that years ago he tried the same game HTh them, and that at that time, the Argus ■toes, it met the bluff, but never could get

Blaine into court. This paragraph has been telegraphed to outside Democratic papers. It is hardly probable that they will publish to-morrow the rejoinder of the Portland Press, in which it shows by the record that the Argus never did more than remotely hint at a scandal against Blaine, when he promptly brought a suit for libel. Then the Argus as promptly apologized in tho most abject manner, as is shown by the following extract from the Argus of Sept, 30, 1857: We hear that an article in the Daily Argus of the 12th inst., headed “Personal,” has been erroneously understood by some as containing an attaok upon the personal and private character of James Gs Blaine, the leading editor of the Advertiser. We deeply regret the misconception, as it is not our intention to charge him by implication or otherwise with the offense we then disclaimed for ourselves. We now, therefore, take great pleasure in disclaiming any design to impute any such delinquencies to Mr. Blaine, and we most cheerfully add that we know nothing of him which would injuriously affect his standing in the personal and social relations of life. NOT FOR CLEVELAND. A Man Whose Name the Independents Are Using Without Authority. South Bend Tribune. It has been reported on the streets that D. S. Marsh, formerly one of the editors of the Tribune, is a Cleveland man, having followed George William Curtis into the Cleveland fold. Though always having been a great admirer of the editor of Harper’s Weekly, the following letter from Mr. Marsh shows how false is the report, and exactly where he stands politically: "Friday, Aug. 15, 1884 “Mr. George Walton Green, secretary. No. 32 Nassau Btreet, New York: “Dear Sir —Your letter of the Bth, with circular No. 2, issued by the ‘national committee of independents and Republicans,’ containing an address by Charles R. Codman, at the New York conference, July 22; also, two forms of blanks for signatures—one setting forth a belief that ‘the paramount issue of the presidential election of this year is moral rather than political,’ and recommending the defeat of Blaine and Logan; the other of like intent, favoring the defeat of Blaine and the election of Grover Cleveland—are all duly to hand. "Your letter states that my name has been mentioned to you as that of one in hearty sympathy with your efforts to secuie clean and honest politics. • That I am in sympathy with any welldirected effort to secure clean and honest politics is tvue. In common with the great body of the people, I have no other interest in politics. But that I am in sympathy with your efforts to this end is a mistake. I believe that you are misguided men. I concede to you entire honesty of purpose, but I estimate your judgment and taste as being execrable. Just look at it: “You regard the Republican party as having been the great instrumentality for reform for the past twenty years. You bring no charges against it except that now, after a career thickly studded with the most beneficent legislation any country has ever known, it nominates a candidate for the presidency of whom it is asserted that he asked to be let into an investment on the score of having previously favored certain legislation benefiting the enterprise in which he afterwards thought it would he to his pecuniary advantage to be interested. It is not essential to this reply that I discuss the truth or falsity of this charge, but even were it substantiated, the gravity of the offense would be less serious than direct bribery, which the enemies of tho Republican party so industriously and stoutly maintained against President Garfield, but which Mr. Curtis and independent Republicans generally saw fit to disbelieve. "On the other hand, you have been, as Mr. Codman in his address says, ‘Life-long opponents of the Democratic party.’ And he further says, voicing, as it is natural to suppose, the senti ments of yourself and other independent Republicans, that he has ‘no intention of becoming identified with it. ’ So you evidently still distrust that party; indeed, Mr. Curtis said in Chicago only two short months ago that the Democratic party was a party very hungry and very thirsty, and that it was trying to. sneak back into power by assuming virtues which it did not possess —words to this effect. But this party, hungry and thirsty, having failed to secure power openly on its real merits and professions of faith, now that it is attempting, under cover of a ‘reform’ nomination, to sneak into place and power, receives your commendation and support. I notice that you still claim the name, not merely of independents, but ‘Republicans,’ and yet you propose to deliver up the keys of the citadel to the enemy. Knowing the past record of the Democratic party, knowing that it has been the party of obstruction persistently and constantly, and fully realizing its thirst and hunger, you are yet willing to lend it your influence and support. You may reconcile this course to your conscience and judgment, hut in my opinion the cause of ‘clean and honest politics’ will not be advanced by compassing the defeat of the Republican party, in favor of one which, on your own showing, yon distrust and despise. I have the honor to remain, Yours, for Blaine and Logan, "D. S. Marsh.” POLITICAL NOTES. Butler Enters the Race to Draw the*Foreign Vote from Cleveland. Interview with ex-Governor Rice. “What do the people of Massachusetts think of Butler and his candidacy?” "While politically opposed to Butler and all his methods, I must say there is no doubt but that the part which he is going to play in this campaign will be very effective. The trouble with many people is that they do not realize his real power.” "What is Butler’s object in running for President? Has he any hopes of being elected?” “No, Ido not think he has the slightest idea that he will carry one electorial vote.” “Do you think that the disaffection of the foreign vote from Cleveland offsets the independent bolt from Blaine?” “Yes, many times so. There is no doubt but that a large portion of the foreign element, the Irish especially, are opposed to Cleveland’s nomination, and will do anything possible to defeat him by voting for Blaine.” A Division in the Democratic Camp. Kansas City, Aug. 19. —The Democratic convention of this, the Fifth congressional district, in session here late to-night, ended in a division. The regular delegates from this countymet and nominated William H. Wal lace, and the remnant of the original convention adjourned until to-morrow. Unless reunited, the result will be two Democratic candidates, which will be likely to give the district to the Republicans, as in 1880, when Van Horne, Republican, was elected. Wallace recently achieved reputation, while State’s attorney, in the prosecution of the members of the James gang. w Michigan Greenbackers. Detroit, Aug. 19.—The Greenback State convention met this afternoon, and after appointing a committee on credentials, organization and resolutions adjourned till this evening, when a permanent organization was effected. A number of speeches were made, chiefly on the subject of "fusion,” and the convention then adjourned until tomorrow. It is thougiit it will await the action of the Democrats at Grand Rapids to-morrow. The general sentiment favors fusion, Butler’s letter having brought many to that opinion. Prohibition Alliance Nominations. Sep alia, Mo., Aug. 19.—1n the Prohibition Alliance meeting, to-day, the convention nominated Rev. John A. Brooks, president of the Prohibition Alliance, for Governor, and Henry Eshbaugh for Lieutenant-governor. The home protection and prohibition convention at Germania Hall ratified these nominations. A Dead Colored Man. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 19.— Information reached the city this afternoon of the killing of Sam Barton, colored, by a white man, Bob Guinar, out in the country. The two had a quarrel about a colored woman. The negro drew a club to strike Guinar, when the latter drew a pistol and shot, killing him almost instantly. Li ■' ■A'.Ll.'.," IU.

A VICTIM OF STARTING MEN. Exhumation and Examination of the Body of Private Whistler. Undoubted Evidence that the Famishing Survivors of Greely’s Party Used His Dead Body for Food. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Delphi, Aug. 19.—The accounts of the exhumation of other Greely victims within the past few days led the relatives of_private Whistler to have his remains quietly examined here this morning. Accordingly, to avoid a crowd, at 7 o’clock, in the little country church yard, were secretly assembled about forty relatives, reporters and others. Strong hands soon raised the casket from the grave in which it was placed one week ago to-day. It was carried into the shade of the little church, and within five minutes Charles H. Kilgore, machinist, had the lid, with its fifty-two bolts, removed. The only perceptible ordor which escaped was of an alcoholic character and very inoffensive. Drs. Beck, Angell, jr., Sharrer and Smith then proceeded to examine the remains with great care. A large quantity of cotton waste was first taken out, and underneath was seen a form tightly wrapped about with muslin sheeting. Under this were two thicknesses of a heavy woolen blanket Quickly, quietly all this yielded to the surgeons’.knife, as the eager crowd stood breathlessly by. Soon was revealed the appalling spectacle—the remains of a cannibal feast in the frozen zone. The entire flesh was skillfully cut from legs arms, back, and all the fleshy parts of the body, the face, chest, hands and soles of the feet remaining untouched. What was left was in a good state of preservation, and showed no marks of violence or traces of disease, thus warranting the conclusion that starvation was the cause of death. The remaining flesh on the hands and feet was whitish and swollen as from frost bite. About the ankles and wrists wore bandages and remnants of clothing, and on the head was a close-fitting cap, probably made from knit underwear; over this was a seal-skin cap with ears, which were tied under the chin. He likely died with these on, as found this morning. His eyes had sunken out of sight, and his face and head were covered with a heavy coat of reddish whiskers and hair. There was gravel and sand about the remains, and the body lay upon the left side. The vital organs seemed intact The alimentary organs were about empty, and the unremoved cuticle clung tightly to the bones. Some of the fecal matter was brought back to the city by Dr. Angell, and examined under a powerful microscope, which revealed the presence of hair and other fibrous substance. The father, grandparents, relatives and neighbors fully identified the remains by two crippled fingers, a peculiar tooth, and the remarkably well preserved features.- The seal-skin cap and a lock of hair wore retained by loving friends. After a last long look by the grief-stricken relatives, the lid was replaced and the casket was again lowered to its final resting-place. The little group soon scattered, and many of the nearest neighbors knew not what had happened. The work was commenced and over in an hour. SPORTING MATTERS. Several Closely Contested Races at the Chicago Driving Park. Chicago, Aug. .19. —The attendance at the Chicago Driving Park was good, the weather very warm and the track fast.

Time 1:561. In the second heat Australian was never headed and won by a neck, with a hot finish; Thady second, Kioba third. Time, 1:57. In the third heat Australian and Kioba ran the full distance to a false start. When sent off properly Kioba took the lead, was never headed, and won easily by three lengths. Time, 2:081. In the fourth race, selling purse, for all ages, one and one-sixteenth mile, the starters were Little Joker, Aristocrat, Bill Bird, Chantilly, Centreville, Wellington, Dick Brown, Sunrise and King Troubler.

Pittsburg, Aug. 19, —Leesdale, a little town ten miles from this city, on the line of the Chartiers railroad, was the scene, this afternoon, of a singular,, double tradegy. Two beggars, one a blind man named John Donley, and the other a one-legged cripple named John Gartley quarreled, and Donley choked Gartley till he was unconscious, after which he beat his brains out with a club and threw the body into CKartiers creek. The blind murderer then took a seat on the Chartiers by track, and a train coming along in a few minutes, struck him, fracturing his skull and otherwise fatally injuring him. He was picked up while yet conscious, and after admitting the killing of his friend, said he wanted to die. He is still living, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Both men were inmates of the Allegheny County Home until last week, when they ran away. The Virginia Election Law. Richmond, Va., Ang. 19. —The special joint committee of the General Assembly, appointed to consider the election law of the State, reported to-day that it was a matter of grave doubt whether any election law was now in force in Virginia, notwithstanding the declaration of the Court of Appeals that the old law was restored, and for that reason, lengthily set forth in their report, recommend the re-enactment of the election law; that is, the law which has existed since 1870. The committee criticise the opinion of the court, and say the responsibility for failure to take effect of the new law passed at the last session must rest with the executive, since both houses passed a bill striking out the objectionable words in the bill vetoed, and he saw fit to withheld his approval. The Austrian Flag Insulted. Pittsburg, Aug. 19.—The difference between the Austrian consul, Max Schamberg and Chief of Police Braun was not adjusted, and there is every prospect of the affair assuming proportions which will necesitate the intervention of Secretary Frelinghuysen and ,Barori Ignatz Von Schaeffer, the Austro-Hungarian Minister to the United States. Schamberg refused to recognize the authority of Braun in ordering the Austrian flag taken down, and says if the latter forces suit he will appeal to the Secretary of State. He considers it an insult to the flag, and is very indignant Heavy Rains In Minnesota. St. Paul, Aug. 19.—Reports from the general offices of the various railroads centering here show that the heavy rains for the past two or three days caused some damage to crops, especially along the line of the Omaha road south, and on the St Paul division of the Manitoba.

H., Ang. 10.—Lieutenant Greely and party, with a number of guests, made an oxcursion to the Isles of Shoals to-day, on the government tug Heyden.
