policy of the government and demanded its overthrow. Duval and Ribot declared they would be ready to vote any sacrifices when the Ministry was Overthrown. They reproached the Oabinet for tcoceealicg the truth. The result of the vote on Ferry's motion was received with loud applause. Laisant and De la Fosse demanded impeachment of the Ministry, and De la Fosse demanded urgency for a motion to that effect, which was rejected—3o4 to 101. Brisson extolled the bravery of the French Soldiers and sailors in Tonquin, and raid they knew how to repair tho effects of the recent reverses. His remarks were received with general applause. The Chamber then adpmrned. to allow the bureaus to appoint a committee on the new credit®. All the members of the committee, it is understood, favor voting the credits, reserving, however, the right of demanding an explanation from the new Ministry. Several members favor a moderate colonial policy after France has taken revenge upon China. Crowds continue to gather about the Chamber. As the deputies were leaving, cries were raised, “Down with Ferry!” "’Down with Ferry!” The boulevards are crowded with excited throngs, but no acts of violence have been committed. De Freycinet is considered to be likely to be called upon to form a Cabinet, which will include General Camperon as Minister of War. No change is expected in the French policy in regard to Egypt. In the Senate, Lo Royer expressed the Senate’s admiration for, ands ympathy with, the forces in Tonquin. Le Royer added that it was the duty of the House to vote the necessary subsidies for carrying on the war. Leon Say declared it was necessary to know, first, the effects. He therefore proposed an amendment to the'credits bill. The Senate finally adjourned, upon hearing of the resignation of the Ministry. It is generally expected that De Freycinet, at present a senator, or Ribort, the French jurist, and now a member of the Chamber of Deputies, will be called upon to form anew Ministry. It is also behoved that Waddington, the present French embassador to London, will he teridefed the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs in place of Ferry, and that Leon Say, the great political economist, will be asked to accept the post of Minister of Finance in the new Cabinet. A Cabinet Minister’s fall was never more ig ominous than that of Ferry. He was hooted and branded as a liar and traitor. The President made no attempt to stop the use of these epithets. Frequent cries of “Turn him out!" Were directed against tho Prime Minister, and tho greatest uproar prevailed throughout the sitting. After the resignation of the Ferry Ministry, .President Grevy asked Henri Brisson, president of the Chamber of Deputies, to form anew Cabinet but Brisson declined. Tho president then asked De Freycinet to form a Cabinet, and he asked twenty-four hours to reply. GRAHAM’S CAMPAIGN. A--Rumor that Osman Digna Has Been Deserted by Almost His Kntire Force. Suakim, March 30.—Tho convoy which left here at an early hour this. morning has arrived it JUcKeil’s zeraba. It is reported that the whole of Osman Digna’s forco has been withdrawn from the surrounding country, and is now concentrated at Tamanieb, where they propose giving battle to General Graham. El Mahdi has gent large reinforcements to the Arab garrison at Berber. Mount Hamund, to the north of Berber, has been strongly fortified by the enemy. . A special from Tamai reports that Osman Digiia has been deserted by almost his entire force, only about 100 followers remaining with him. A large convoy which arrived at the zeraba On the Tamai road, was not molested en route. It is not expected that there will be any severe fightjn the attack on Tamai. Each man will carry seventy rounds of ammunition, and 140 rounds will be carried for each gun. The force will advance in three brigades. Osman Asks for Peace. Suakim, March 30.—A messenger from Osman Digna, bearing a flag of truce, lias arrived here, asking terms of peace. An answer will be sen} to-morrow. _ CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS. \n Attack Upon San Salvador—Arms Seized 1 at Aspinwall. La March 30. —The invading forces com Guatemala to-day made an attack upon the ■rmy of San Salvador. No particulars received. A Panama dispatch says: “Tho Star and Herald bulletins, published to-day, say the steamer Colon was seized to-day at Aspinwall by the revolutionists, who demanded delivery of the shipments ofnrms on board for the revolutionary troops. The agents refused to deliver tho arms. Mr. Connor, local superintendent of the Pacific Mail Company, was first arrested, and later the captain and purser of the steamer were placed under arrest on board the vessel. Subsequently Captain Dow, tho agent of the Pacific Mail Company, Mr. Wright, the United States consul and a lieutenant of the American man-of-war Galena, .were arrested and marched off to tho cuartel. They wer£ released at G o’clock, on consideration that the arms should be delivered aud delivery is now going? on. American and English war ships did nothing to protect foreign interests, because the revolutionary chief declared ho would resist their interference by force. The Americans are indignant at the insult to their flag and the outrage to their persons and property. Troops will go from here to night to attack the revolutionists, who, however, are in steong force, and with the arms from the Colon will probably be able to control events in their own way, and imtheir own interests. The Unpopularity of Barrios. New York Special. Ex-President Marco Aurels Soto, of the republic of Honduras, lives in an elegant home at No. 8 East Eighty-fourth street, this city. He is still young, having been Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gauternala when he was twenty-five, and President of Honduras at twenty-eight years of age. Apparently ho is not over forty now, and his only desire, outside of his own large and interesting family, seems to lie in the advancement of the happiness and civilization of his native country. He received the Commercial Gazette correspondent very cordially this evening, and when shown, iu a Washington dispatch, the allegation that he was engaged in a movement to overthrow the government of Honduras, and to form an alliance of the people of that country with Nicaragua. Costa Rica and San Salvador against General Barrios, Mr. Soto said: “No, it is not true that I am in any way connected with the revolution which General Barrios has instituted in Central America. New York is rather a distant point from which to conduet a movement of that kind in Central America. 1 have received telegrams from my JDrisiuL; however, who, knowing my sympathies

with the people of my native land, have asked me to go there and assist them. It is impossible to say now what I will do. I am waiting for fuller advices by mail, and it will depend upon them whether Igo or stay. There are enough inaccuracies in the dispatch you have shown me to warrant something of a statement of the case from myself. “General Barrios, as you know, has issued a decree declaring himself the head of the united republics, but FJjcaragua, Gosta Rica aud San Salvador have declared against the decree, and drawn up an alliance to oppose him. The only government wbtth has accepted it is Honduras, but the feeling of the people, even there, is against him; their heart is with their sister republics. His strength with the government of that republic rests in his influence over General Lewis Bogran.*’ “Will General Barrios’s revolution he a success?” “No; he will ruin Guatemala in his foolish enterprise. anil probably finish up bi T being overthrown himself. He is said to have an army of fifteen to twenty thousand, but San Salvador, of which Dr. Zaldivar is President, can raise that many men itself. Ultimately the countries of Central America will undoubtedly be united, but it cannot be done by the sword, and General Barrios will discover when it is too late how great a mistake he has made.” “Do you expect to take the field if you go to Central America?” “I cannot say. Os course, it is my own country, and I feel very warmly toward the people who are sufferihg for the sake of the ambition of this one soldier. Barrios was never a popular man, however, even with the army. He aided general Garcia Granados to overthrow the conservative government in Guatemala in 1871, and this lias been remembered against him ever since.” “Is it tmo that you were chosen President of Honduras throucrh the influence of Barrios?” “No; 1 was Minister of Foreign Affairs at the age of twenty-five, before Barrios came to the presidency of Gautemaula,. and when he was elected he confirmed my nomyiation. There was at that time a request from the people of Honduras, where I had been educated, asking me to go back there and assume control of the government. At the joint request of the government and of the other republics, all of whom had confidence in my ability to preserve the general peace among them. 1 accepted this office. That was all Barrios had to do with it. Os course lam anxious to see these young republics assisted. and I believe that the government of the United States has an equal interest in defending her weaker sisters against the ambition of the present usurper.”. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Promising Outlook for a Peaceful Solution of the Russo-Afghan Quarrel. London, March 30.—1n the House of Commons, this afternoon, the Marquis of Hartingtoc, Secretary of State for War. said tho latest advices tho government had received from St. Petersburg were to the effect that a peaceful solution of the RussoAfghan question was more promising that at any time since the difficulty arose. Additional extensive orders have been sent to the Chicago meat packing companies. It was impossible for English firms to compete with Americans. The report that hundreds of tons of American meat had been found putrid is said to be untrue. Atheistic Mockery. London, March 30.—The Anti clerical League, of Paris, has organized a ball which is intended as a mockery of all sorts of religion. It is to be held on the evening of Good Friday, the 3d of April, and is to be accompanied by a supper, from which all fish will be excluded, and at which all sorts of meat, including pork, will be served. The invitations state that at midnight an “authentic miracle” will give the signal for a polka entitled the “Sacred Heart." The church people are greatly scandalized at this proposed parading of blasphemy, and are urging tho police to suppress the performance. • Seventy Lives Lost, Shanghai, March 30. —The British steamer Orestes, from Liverpool for Penang, collided with and sunk a Chinese steamer. Seventy persons were drowned. Cable Notes. Quoen Victoria, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, left Windsor Castle yesterday afternoon on a journey to Aix les Baines, France. Mrs. Weldon, a famous litigant, has been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, without labor, for libeling Mr. Revere, manager of Covent Garden Theater, London. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The Boston Produce and Corn Exchanges have decided to consolidate the two exchanges. A new building will be erected for the new organization. Sylvester J. Osborne, a skating professor, who eloped with Rebecca Kersley sometime ago, was sentenced at Upper Sandusky, yesterday, to three years in the penitentiary for bigamy. He pleaded guilty. The man who was shot and killed while prying about the premises of W. D. Hoyt, at Cleveland, 0., Sunday night, proves to be Stanley, a painter, thirty years old. He always bore a good reputation, and his friends denounce Hoyt's hasty action. At Lebanon, Pa., yesterday, ex-county treasurer Stephen W. Boltz made an assignment. Boltz was short in bis accounts about $9,000, which, it is stated. John Benson, his bondsman, borrowed from Boltz, and then skipped the town. * The Governor of Maine has called a special session of the Council for Wednesday, to consider the question of reprieve, for a short time, of the Italians Dunlore and Capore, who are sentenced to be hanged April 3. This action is taken in deference to the wishes of Bishop Healey and others, who requested the Governor not to allow tho murderers to be hanged on Good Friday. Grant’s Connection With Ward. New York Graphic. W ard used Grant’s name for all it was worth, if not iu influencing the government with respect Yto contracts, in making others believe that he had done so. It is impossible to consider with patience the impudence of this’ man in thus debasing to unworthy purposes a name which the people honored and the possessor of which was the very soul of honor; but what can be said of the men who accepted his villainy, and apparently believed that the influence in question could be dishonestly used at Washington] The faith of Grant was extraordinary, but tho villainy of Ward aud his friends was amazing. Ex-Governor Fletcher Heard From. St. Louis, March 30. —Mrs. Fletcher, of this city, has received a dispatch from ex-Attorney-general Sampson, of Colorado, stating that Governor Fletcher, who has been missing since Saturday week, has been stopping at the Windsor Hotel, at Denver, Col., and left there on Saturday, in response to a business telegram. The family believe they will establish communication with the missing gentleman by to-morrow. Obituary! Louisville. Ky.. March 30.—Ex-Mayor John G. Baxter died at Hot Springs, last night. Baltimore.

Bell, postmaster at Sunset, Wise county. Texas, was brought here this morning, charged with the embezzlement of $5,000 postoffice money. lie waived examination, and was placed in jail in default of bail. Biliousness Is very prevalent at this season, the symptoms being bitter taste, breath offensive, tongue coated, sick headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of appetite. If this condition is allowed to continue, serious consequences may follow. By promptly taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, a fevermay be avoided or premature death prevented. It is a positive cure for biliousness. Sold by all druggists.

Financial embarrassment and the effects of drink are supposed to have been the cause. He leaves a wife and a large family. WALLACE AND COX. Something About the Present Minister to Turkey and His Successor. “Gath's” New York Letter. So Mr. Cox, after a remarkably long congressional career, goes to Turkey, and this appointment shows that the only portion of his numerous talents fully recognized is the literary part. He has been true to the love of traveling and of learning. He wronged no man pursuing those things. Accompanied with a most excellent wife, who is very cordial to know and who has made him a perfect companion, he has gone to the Mediterranean, to Spain and to other countries, and has not neglected his own. and most of his books are pleasant and readable. He succeeds at Constantinople a man whom the politicians never much liked, nor the military men either, but who, by using the best that he had in the most self-respecting way, has almost made a definite mark on the letters of his native land. General Wallace was, I think, the son of a prominent public man, perhaps a Governor of Indiana, and he married one of a family of iuterestingsisters about Crawfordsville, ladies who had been left by their parents with respectable means, and whose good sense was. generally speaking, equal to their other endowments. Young Wallace went off to the Mexican war. and the family did not think much of him until our own ‘civil war began, when he followed the bent of his principles as well as of his adventure, and at Fort Donelson received reputation and rank. He went to Mexico as minister-, and there wrote a novel, which was considered by politicians of ten and fifteen years ago as rather the testimony to his weakness of mind. The time is to come when all our politicians will aspire to be authors, aud they will overdo things on that side. Wallace’s book, called “The Fair God.” was probably taken from a suggestion in Prescott. After ho went to Turkey as our minister he wrote “Ben Hur,” which seems to have a good sale, although it always seems to ine a very hard book to read, perhaps because the subject of it was so high and human nature so coarse. I took it up once in the West at the request of a Democratic politician, who thought very highly of it, and I had read two or three chapters, when I lost tho book. Those chapters seemed to me to be an attempt to supply imagination to that portion of mankind which has none of it. The three magi who come from somewhere in the West to the cradle of Christ, naturally furnish a subject for anybody’s mind which has the least wonder or fancy. These mysterious strangers, who had come from following a star and stopped right at the spot of the nativity, invited all the painters aud poete to celebrate them. ' Their ideals have been put into a thousand pictures. Different towns in - the world have competed for being their birthplaces. Minister Wallace assembles them on the desert coining like needles to a loadstone at the instinct of Chirst’s birth. But he seemed to me to mingle learning up with this instinct until a large portion of the romance of the wise men was taken away. Indeed, it is not imagination to explain wonders; it is imagination to make wonders out of occurrences, but a considerable number of tho American people have got to know General Wallace more from his book than from his battles. Mr. Cox, replacing him in Turkey, need have nothing whatever to do except to beat Mr. Wallace’s book. We commission him to the Turks as a most agreeable little man. who has had almost countless terms in Congress, has talked always to tho point, never made much impression because he was never earnest enough in any general line, and now if lie fails to produce a great literary work we give him up. JUBAL EARLY BREAKS LOOSE. The Capitulation of Lee and Grant’s Alleged Declination of His Sword. Richmond (Va.) Special. The recent action of Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, of this city, in adopting resolutions of sympathy with General Grant, in which they spoke of his magnanimous treatment of Lee at Appomattox in declining his sword, brings General Jubal Early out in a card, in which he says: “The fact is that General Lee's sword was never tendered to General Grant, and the latter, therefore, had no opportunity to decline to receive it or return it after it had been surrendered, but by the express terms of the capitulation, all the officers of General Lee's army were to be allowed horses and other private property, and all couriers and mounted men of the artillery and cavalry whose horses were their private property were to bo allowed to retain them. In Dr. Jones’s ‘Personal Reminiscences of General R. E. Lee’ will be found in the correspondence between General Grant and General Lee immediately preceding the surrender. and the same correspondence is to be found in appendix M to General Humphrey’s ‘Virginia Campaign of 1864-1865.’ That correspondence fully refutes the idea that General Lee ever contemplated making an unconditional surrender of his army, or that he was indebted to the magnanimity of Grant for the terms of the surrender. Dr. Jones, whose book was written with the sanction of Mrs. Lee and other members of the family, who gave him access to General Lee’s correspondence of a private as well as official character, saj’s on pages 302 and 303 that in a conversation with a number of frieuds, of whom lie was one, General Lee said that before going to meet General Grant, he left orders with Longstreet and Gordon to hold their commands in readiness, as he was determined to cut his way through or perish in the attempt if such terms were not granted as he thought his array entitled to demand. “In the last and only interview I had with General Lee the war, which was in the spriug of 1869, -when he talked Very freely to me in regard to the circumstances attending his surrender, he reiterated in the most emphatic manner the statement which Doctor Jones gives. It was not. therefore, to Grant's magnanimity that General Lee was indebted for the privilege of retaining his sword or for the terms granted to his army, but to his own resolute will aud the anxiety of Grant to obtain tho surrender of an adversary who had thwarted him so long. There is, then, as little truth in this story about General Lee’s sword as there is in the famous apple tree fiction. It would seem that the time for Grant to display his magnanimity toward the defeated confederates was when he occupied the presidency of the United States for eight years. How he then displayed it let impartial history tell.” A Denial from Mr. Phelps. New Haven, Conn.. March 30. — Professor Phelps, the recently appointed minister to the court of St. James, said to-night, in reference to the article first printed in the New York Times in 1880 and reproduced in to-day’s (Sunday) New York Tribune, purporting to be a report of a speech delivered by him in 1864, in which he is qnoted as calling Lincoln “a twentieth-rate, back-county attorney, without a single qualification for a statesman,” and as characterizing the Abolitionists as “long-haired, miserable, dirty creatures, who went about the country to stick up their dirty hand bills and have a meeting,” I deny, altogether, having used in any speech in my life any such gross, offensive and undignified language as is contained in the article mentioned. General Hazen’s Frigidity. Oldham (Ky.) Era. Thoso who know General Bill Hazen are not astonished at the mercury standing within six degrees of zero to-day. Hazen is a huffish sort of a fellow, and on slight provocation can make it extremely frigid in his neighborhood. We witnessed a little game of draw poker at Readyville, Tenn., in 1863. in which Hazen and Dr. E. T. Long, of Henry county, were playing. The Doctor gathered in SIOO of the General’s salary on trays and nines, Hazen bulling the market on a bobtailed flush. Although it was July, the temperature fell as though a Manitoba blizzard hud settled on the camp. The Size of It. Washington Critic. Mr. Hendricks can at least say that ho is a bigger man than old Bynum. Our druggists told us that it beats all other liniments—Salvation Oil, price 25 cents a bottle. The acme of medicine, Salvation Oil, all druggi&te sell it at twenty-live cents a bottle.

REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER His Views Concerning Past and Present Relations of the Colored People. An Inferential Justification of the Conduct of the Southern Bulldozers During the Reconstruction Era. Louisville, Ky., March 30.— Henry Ward Beecher lectured before a large audience here to night. In the Courier-Journal to-morrow, Mr. Beecher will say: “Allow me to state explieity my views of the past and present relations of the colored people. “First—The state of slavery in the South before the war, with all its sophistry, was evil, and only evil both in its effects upon blacks and whites alike, and was, on the whole both in morals and political economy exceedingly bad. A terrible price was paid for the destruction of the slave system, but it was worth to posterity a hundred times what it cost. “Second—The putting of the vote into the hands of an ignorant race was an astounding event in political history. It came not from the belief of their fitness for suffrage, but from a conviction that it was necessary for their defense. The tentative legislation of of the Southwestern States, which, under a form of vagrancy law, seems intended to subject colored people to essential slavery, again alarmed the North and led to defensoiy'letrislation. But, audacious as was that, the faith in liberty and suffrage which led the West and North to give full citizenship and political power to the emancipated, the result has shown that the colored people have not misused power. I must sav that colored voting?since the war has been fully as wise as white voting was before the war. The colored people of the South, after becoming citizens, did not seek revenge nor mischief. They intended well; it was not their fault that many results were evil. It was bad enough for white citizens to see their late slaves led by foreign influence. It might be political necessity; it was not any the less a thing grievous to bo borne by their white fellow - eitizfns. But where the emancipated were largely in excess of the white voters it amounted in fact to the subjection of the white people to the legislation of the colored, and in those States where legislatures were in the power of the late slaves, and where Northern men, not always wisest, led them on to foolish and wasteful legislation, increasing taxation and squandering the results of it, plunging the State deeply into debt by an unmerciful issue of bonds, it is not to be wondered at that something like revolutionary methods were adopted and self-de-fense led men to violent resistance. “Third —When, at a little later period, history, no longer under the influence of violent and heated passions, shall sit in impartial judgment upon this whole movement of the past quarter of a century, two results will stand out prominently—first, the admirable conduct of the slave population during the war; industrious, orderly, humane and peaceful; their great bravery when the North made them part of the army; their general good conduct after peace was established, and their thirst for education as an indispensable condition of good citizenship. Their future may not be what theorists predict, but it will be auspicious. Second, the remarkable conduct of the white population of the South —hurled from political power, defeated in war, wasted in all resources, wounded in every household, in the loss of husband, son or father; all industries subverted and to be resounded on anew basis; And worse than all. to see their late slaves changing places with their masters and holding the reins of legislation under foreign leadership. Is it wonderful that at a time of revolution and convulsion, Southern citizenß. often in the way of duty, practiced some rude remedies of violence; that some methods of violence were attempted? These tilings are not to be justified. But is it not a matter of transcendent wonder that the evils were so few, that the patience and self-control ot the Southern people soon readjusted the whole situation of civil economy? I glory in the history which, with all its infirmities and blemishes, yet presents to the world the most notable instance of self-government that has ever occurred. “On one or two points allow me to be explicit. I do not think it wise that the whites and blacks should ‘mix bloods,’ yet it is theirright and liberty to do so if they choose; but it is to be discouraged on grounds of humanity. The slaves are free. They must come uuder universal law. As to their social position, no legislation can put ignorance and knowledge on a level, indolence and industry, virtue and vice, rudeness and refinement. The household is to be free to choose or refuse its company. No obstruction should be put in the path of education. All opportunities for development should be sacredly kept open to every class, every encouragement should be given to industry, wealth, refinement and good citizenship. After that, society must be free, so far as legislation is concerned, to choose its own partnerships. “And now that anew era and readjustment of all national questions has been reached, I am for the welfare of an undivided nation, and I belong, in detail, to that party which shall best serve the interests of the whole land. I am not the slave of either. Party is my servant. I am not its slave. The administration, with that strong and just inau, Cleveland, at its head, has my hearty support and my full confidence; not because it is Democratic, but because it is national, patriotic, and adapted to the exigencies of the hour. Should it fail in its national duty, I shall still seek the honor and welfare of this great Nation, but by another road.”

THE EAST AND THE WEST. President Cleveland Breaking Up the Democratic Party—An Old Prophecy by Seward. Washington Special to New York Mail and Express. William H. Seward predicted that a great struggle between the East and the West would be the next conflict of the country. He did not mean an armed conflict, but one scarcely less intense, nevertheless. President Cleveland has thrown his influence in the scale of the East—and the singular gravitation of Republicans toward him is thus somewhat explained. It is not to be forgotten that Cleveland owes his election to Republicans. Hejwas elected mayor on anonpartisan basis; and on the same ground; and again President by men who wanted a non partisan administration—and Cleveland knows it. This is displeasing to the Democrats, especially those who have borne the heat and burden of the day, and, as Cleveland is undoubtedly an astute politician, it is not enough to call his course that of a sensible but pigheaded man. He sees the great division impending in the Democratic ranks on the tariff, the formation of a third party and the probability that this party will choose Grover Cleveland for its standard bearer. To turn for a moment to Mr. Blaine. He, too, seems to indicate that a fusion is imminent. He cannot coalesce with the stalwarts. He knows that he can never again command tho support of more than a section of the Republican party, lie is a man so bold, so fertile in resources, that it would be strange if some device did not occur to him by which he could force the fighting and make his adversaries show their hand. Mr. Blaine is the most powerful disorganizer in the country when he cnooses to be. There will not be for years a presidential election in which Mr. Blaine's hand will not be felt. In marked contrast to his hostility to Mr. Arthur is his friendship for Mi\ Cleveland. Not only has Mr. Blaine expressed publicly bis wish that the administration may be a success—a conventional civility—but he has said pointedly that he believed it would be—a belief never shared, and certainly never expressed by any other presidential candidate upon tho defeat of his party. Mr. Blaine sees that there is to be a Cleveland and an antiCleveland party in the Democratic ranks shortly, just as among the Republicans there is a Blaino and anti-Blaine section. lie sees that drifting will end in the East being divided agamst the West, and he inevitably belongs to the East. Mr. Cleveland will, within a year, directly antagonize what is known as the Carlisle wing of the Democracy, and he will offend both parties in the tar West by his action on the silver question. All Kentucky is for free trade, and all the far West is for silver coinage; while all the East is for protection in some form and for stopping the coinage of silver. It is remarkable that Mr. Cleveland’s chief adviser and closest /ally since lm butuiac President id Mr. JU*iud;ui£*tUtt

strongest champion of the East—the man who wields more individual power than any other Democrat in the country, and from a State that gave Blaine 80,000 majority. All of Mr. Cleveland’s opponents embody in some way Randall’s ideas, or at all events are not antagonistic to him. The invisible line has been drawn sharply between the East and West. The two Southern men oF the Cabinet are neutral. Os the other five, four are Eastern men. Cleveland seems determined to please the East without especially regarding the States that elected him. He overlooks Connecticut, and goes to Massachusetts and Vermojat to make appointments. Mr. Phelps and Secretary Endfcott are good men, Imt just as good can be found in Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana. When he wants a Western man he goes to Wisconsin or Michigan. Mr. Cleveland is picking ep men here and there to suit his purpose. Ho has a design which will appear presently. He is doing nothing without a motive. How would it be if, in the next election, or eight years hence—Cleveland is comparatively a young man—there should be a split ar.d a reorganization in both parties in Massachusetts aud Vermont? Endioott and Phelps and their followers would be a nucleus to which Republicans would rally. This time next year the Democrats in Congress will be wholly divided. Mr. Randall and the anti-silver men will be strongly supporting Mr. Cleveland. The rest, under the leadership of Carlisle, will be furiously opposing him. Car-* lisle will again be elected Speaker. The freetraders are stronger in Congress than they are among the people of the whole country. In order to hold his own Cleveland will have to get| some support beyond his own party. The doors having been opened to the mugwumps, others in the course of time will follow. As Senator Sherman expresses the hope, parties will divide on commercial and financial questions instead of sectional issues. The South will be held steady by the increase of manufactures, which will wed her to the Pennsylvania idea as represented by Mr. Randall. Mr. Reward’s prophecy will be fulfilled; the East and the West will each be represented by a great party, which will take the place of those which separated the North and the south. An Embarrassed Clothing Merchant. Petersburg, Va., March 30.—Mark E. Hull, one of the oldest and largest wholesale and retail clothing merchants of the city, has become embarrassed, and his store was closed this morning. His creditors are mostly Northern merchants.
