HAD SO SrECIAL MISSION

They Talked Well, though, on Topics of Past and Current Importance. General Cbv Eecounts Some of the Incidents That llave Harked His ton g CareerA Chat with Gen. Dan Hiacaulej. A YETEKAN IX riTBLIC AFFAIRS. General Cassias Clay Recalls Incidents of His Distinguished Career. General Caxsius M. Clay was in the city yesterday, and called upon General Harrison. General Clay, thoagh considerably wore than three score and ten, is a cheerful, active man, as sound as a winter apple, living in the present, but having a lively Tecollectiou of the past, in which ho was a prominent and aggressive figure. He lives at Whitehall, twenty miles from Lexington. Ivy., in the house in which he was born. lie ii a Rftmnf. mnain nf thn crreat rommnnpr Henry Clay, and comes of old Virginia stock as does Gen. Harrison himself, sir," said le to the reporter. He was asked what had called him to the city. I am here," he said, "to make the acquaintance of the President-elect and his family. I was in the convention of 1840, which nominated his grandfather, and made many speeches during that remarkable canvass. I have leen a friend of Gen. Ben Harrison for many years, and of course I desired to see him. I had a lunch with the family to-day, and politics were never mentioned." V on were, 1 believe, Minister to St. Pelsbgf, "I was appointed to St Petersburg by fr. Lincoln in 1S61. I remained only until July, lStt2, when Seward, who was iny encmv, recalled me. However, through Mr. Lincoln's friendship, I went back in 18C3, and remained until 1S69, nearly nino years in all nearly one year under Grant's administration. In 1562 Mr. Lincoln sent me to Kentucky to get the sentiment of the Mate and see whether Kentucky would go with the South or stand by the Union. The matter of a proclamation freeing the slaves had been talked over in the Cabinet. Blair said it would drive the border States into rebellion. It was opposed by Seward. I Fpoke to the Kentucky Legislature and afterwards in Washington. I took the ground that Mr. Lincoln did, for I was acting in concert with him. lie always was an anti-slavery man. but he waited for public sentiment to give liim opportunity to act. He was very glad I made the speech I did in Washington the speech for which Geo. D. Prentice said I ought to be hanged. Instead of compromising, as I had been accused, I was ahead of our politicians, Jt was with me emancipation or nothing uM the time. "One thing has hurt me with tho Iwepnblican party. I took the ground that, if Kentucky would stand witf the Union, slavery would not be interfered with. I made that pledge. Slavery was not only abolished, out the Republican party refused ta pay a cent. As an honorable man, I had to protest a gainst that action. Had they paid lor the slaves in Kentucky, as it was promised would bo done, Kentucky would be a Republican State to-day. It was an old Whig State, and tho people there went to tho Democratic party because wo failed tokeep faith with them. Bad faith is altrays bad policy. The opposition to me in Kentucky js because I acted with the Democrats for a time. I helped to bring ont Greeley, and spoke through the South for him. That campaign opened the way for Tilden, and the Republican party was overthrown. I went back to the Republican party in 1SS0. where I have since remained. It is tho small poUticians, in Kentucky, the very men I converted and made, who have used this against me." "The Republican party in Kentucky has crown somewhat since 1SS0, has it not, General!" Yes. it appears to have crown consider ably since my return. Iam now about, to complete a second volume of my memoirs. ."When I wrote my first volumo I could not fet my Washington speech,but I havo it now. was the only public man who stood out against compromise. I was for. the. abolition of slavery, and was further ahead than any public man, as that speech will show. If the policy of Seward, who expected to whip the seceding States without the abolition of slavery, had been followed, we would have been whipped. The abolition of slavery was a necessity because of the moral effect. Without it thore would have been two nationalities There were politicians in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Mr. Seward, wanted to be president. My speech was to neutralize the inuueuce of Wed and Seward, and it accomplished it. The result was that Weed and Reward opposed my going back to Russia in 1S63. but I went back conqueror." "Have you now any political aspirations!" "No, sir: I am an old man, without aspirations. I have never been accused of timidity in expressing my views. I never talk in corners nor send confidential letters. I am not averse to reporters. I have little cause to complain of them; they trvat me well. Their esprit da corps is much higher than that of politicians. They have more patriotism, more independence, newspapers no nor, aepeua upon politics. The press is an institution in itself. I do not know who will ko into General Harrison's Cabinet. I am a Harrison man. At my time of life one doesn't cars much about his political future." EXPRESSIONS FROM THE INTERVIEWED General Dun Utacauley Discourses About the Mcaraguan Canal and Other Matters. General Dan Macauley, resident of New York and citizen of the world, made his appearance in this city yesterday. With him was the Dr. Horacio Guzman, who represents the Nicaraguan government as minister at Washington. Tho Minister is a portly gentleman, tall and handsome, who speaks English perfectly, having been educated in this country and in France. Tho Doctor and myself," explained the General, who is slightly handsomer and fully as genial as ever, "are on our way to Chicago and St Louis, and came this way for the reason that my son Bernhardwiil meet me here. Yes, I'vo seen General Harrison; the Doctor and myself have just shaken hands with him. I stated to the Presidentelect, and he no doubt felt duly grateful for my consideration, that I really had not come to advise him about his Cabinet. He looked grateful at any rate. We had a pleasant time with Gen. Lew Wallace and called on Gov. Hovey. As I'm being interviewed I may as well say a word for the Xicaraugua canal with which tho Doctor and myself are connected. Tho action taken by the Senate is satisfactory and the ranal will be constructed and in operation five years from this date, Feb. 11. State it as a statistical fact that this will shorten water communication between New York and San Francisco 10.000 miles. This fact published in your great journal may help some poor devil in his civil-service examination. I am more than delighted with tho way in which I have been received by old friends here. "About tho Cabinet? I don't know anv more about it than a wooden Injun. 1 haven't proposed to servo in any official capacity at all, but if drafted will endeavor to cl? my full duty. I havo "been nominated by the newspapers for several good positions, among which are Pension Commissioner, Marshal of the District of Columbia and Public Printer. So far I haven't drawn a cent. It is glory enouxh for mo to bo a memher of the Loyal Legion, and interested in tho Nicaragua. canaL General Harrison was invited by Gen. Lew Wallace to appear at tho t-oyal Legion meeting to-night. Ho declined unless he would be permitted to mako a speech. So ho will not be allowed to come iu. Then are those who believe I have rnme all this distance to talk to General Harrison, it would b difficult to convince them that I have not, but have been drawn here solely by my interests in his delightful grandaon. little Benjamin Harrison, McKcc. ISeitnerdidGenerai Harrison send for me. I came on my own responsibility, and hopo to be able to get out ot town this evening alive. No. there need be uo heartburnings or 'jealousy on my account. By the way. a ew lork man ha just told mo another cn Senator Wm. Kvarts. A man heard the Senator making a speech. Ho listened four or live hours arid went out. What was ho talking about! inquired an acquaintance) who met him at tho door.

'I I I don't know; he didn't say,' was the answer. Bat of course you won't mako any application of the anecdote to this exceedingly interesting talk I've been giving you," "What They Did In the Campaign. CoL K. D. Woodruff, of Auburn, N. Y.. is stopping at the Denison House for a few days. '0f coarse I shall call upon General Harrison," said the Colonel, "but not at all iu a political way. I am here on my own private business. I still have large interests in Woodruff Place, east of your beautiful city, and am here looking after them. I feel that there is encouragement in the real estate market, and will put some lots on sale this epring in such a way that peoule will bo interested. I live in the central rartof tho State of New York, where we have full faith in General Harrison. I am a silk manufacturer, employing about four hundred hands, but they are not all voters, as a good many areyoung women. "As an illustration of the earnestness of manufacturers in New York during the presidential campaign, I will say that only one man in iny employ voted the Democratic ticket. Tho manufacturers in my State distributed campaign documents very effectively. I think the girls, who have fathers, urothers and lovers did as much in the campaign as the men. They knew that without a protective tariff silk mills could not run. 44There are 50,000 people engaged in various silk manufacturing industries in the United States in one form or another. We sold or gave away 100,000 of our woven silk flag badges, the names of Harrison and Morton woven in with the stripes. We seut 10,000 of them to Indianapolis, selling 5,000 to one of your Meridian-street houses. In New York it was a campaign of literature, and ignorance fled before us. A longer campaign would have been better for us. We gained every day." , CULUNGS PROM THE COURTS. The County Grand Jury Makes Its Final Report and Adjourns. The grand jury yesterday returned indictments against Mollie Rhodes, Florence Reisner, Anna Merrill, Charles Steebaug, Charles Jones, Abe McPcak, Thomas Murphy, William Maxwell and James O'Brien, petit larceny, and Charles IL West, Kate Housley and Aleck Ross, grand larceny. This closed tho work of the juiy for tho February term, during which seventy-two indictments were found. Among them wcro two each against Joseph A. Moore and John E. Sullivan. One of those against Moore is understood to be for forgery. Tho jury released George Wilson, arrested on the charge of robbery, there being no evidence against him. Harry Gray, indicted on the charge of taking $150 from his wife, was arrested, and gave $500 bond for his appearance for trial. In addition to the release of Geo. Wilson, Win. Lowe, Fred Martsburg, Gerard Drako and Lee Hanlon were discharged from custody, no indictments having been found against them. Tho jury examined the county poor-house ana report that it was found in good condition and the inmates well provided for. The work-house was also shown to be in good condition, but tho inmates are at present unemployed. They have broken two car-loads of stone since the last report. The jail has been whitewashed and painted, and is in better condition than it was last month, being less crowded. A Judgment Against Sullivan. During the campaign of 1SSG Wm. C. Jones, an old soldier, went to John E. Sullivan's poultry house on business, and while there a aifference of opinion between him and Sullivan arose. The ex-county clerk was in high wrath, and when Jones loft, O'Neal, who is now with his employer in Canada, and is accused of making false warehouse statements, followed hinf. The warehouse man was reinforced by Sullivan and three of his henchmen, when the gang fell upon Jones and beat him severely. lie lay for weeks suffering from his wounds. A suit for damages was brought, and the trial in the hrst instance going against Sullivan he secured a new trial. The jury on the

second trial returned a verdict for Jones, allowing him 150 damages. Sullivan took tho matter to tho Supreme Court, and yesterday the verdict in tho lower court was amrmed. Some of the 31 cn Indicted. The United States marshal continues to gather in people from various parts of the State, charged with violating tho election law.

The otner was mado to secure a note given to Many by Sullivan for $53,000. The instruments cover about all the personal property held by Sullivan at the time of his departure, and are dated on the same day, Jan. 28, 1SS0. A Witness Punished.

Training and Teaching the Blind. To the Members of the Legislature of the State ot Indiana: Gentlemen A desire to benefit the pupils in the institution at Indianapolis for the education of the blind prompts me to call your attention to a few facts relating to this subject. This establishment should rank high as an institution of learning. Tho method of studies and modo of training should aim at being thorough in all grades and departments. Superficial effects should not be the sufficient acquisition of such a school. I have been acquainted with blind persons, graduates of the various schools for the blind, and am competent to form judgement of what such schools should accomplish, and the manner of dealing with blind scholars. I am also acquainted with some of the pupils of tho Indiana Institution for the Blind, and from what I know of the methods and results of this institution it does not compare favorably with most otherinstitutionsof its kind. The Indiana institution needs to be improved. The peculiar professions and arts in which blind people inay succeed (for they cannot enter all professions) should be as thoroughly taught as to give them confidence in their ability to comnete with all others in these peculiar acquirements. In this way a large percentage of the blind might be self-supporting and capable members of society. To accomplish this result xne trustees suouia not do content witn seeing only to the proper housing and board, together with the conveniences for teaching supplied to the institution, but they 6hould note, particularly; whether the pupils in their charge have teachers trained to instruct according to the best methods for teaching tho - blind. 1 he onlv wav to test this is bv real nro cress achieved by the scholars, as shown in the examination. These examinations, fairly -con ducted, ought to show results to tomparo well with what is attained elsewhere. The position of superintendent should bo awarded to a thoroughly efficient tuUiinir suiieuionis pecuuartasK oi training xne blind. It ought not to bo a mere reward ior services to a politician, no regaru uciug paid to real fitness for the place. The samo remark applies to the teachers employed. A rigid examination should test their ac quirements and provo their fitness. Not all persons are fitted alike for the samo professions, and pains should be taken to develop the particular talent of each pupil. The blind are very often able to arrive at great success in musical skill, and where a pupil .posseases such ability, great attention should be paid to bringing out his talent. The training of these deserves special attention. As a means of general information, frequent lectures and readings shoud be given, lor the faculty of memory is strong witn tno signness. I have myself been blind from childhood. I havo been teaching music for fifteenyears. I have alwavs enioved the fullest confi dence of my many .hundred patrons, and oencve tnat what 1 have done many other blind have done. and. with richt teach in cr. hundreds more may do. And to show that I have no partisan object, I may add that I am a democrat, as to me inuiana institution for the Blind, mv observations havo led me to believe that it is not thorough, but 1 1 il. 1 ii m. - ouin-iiiuiai, ux iuo result it gives, ino teachers havo not won tho confidence of their pupils. The history of tho school does not record anv triumnhs. Its work has not been nroven eood bv the success of its graduates, and this, notwithstanding a good teacher of music, who is not allowed to control his department. I he professorships have been accepted and used more for private gain than for the pupils' good. Tho musical training is particularly de fective. Tho system of point, for reading music, is not taught. E. m. p. Terre Haute, Feb. 10. The Quail. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: At each of the last three sessions of the Indiana Legislature a bill has been introduced forbidding the killing of quail for a certain number of years. No Stato has a better law than ours, and none more universally observed. There are before the House now two bills forbidding the killing of quail for lengthy periods. Tho object of these bills is, no doubt, to make quail more abundant; but a greater niistako could not be made. It is not he gun tnat aestroys so many birds, but tho cold waves tnat sweep down suddenly from tho North that freezes them to death as thev sit, huddled together in the field. Whenever tno temperature falls 18 or 20 degrees below zero, the quails are frozen to death in whole covies. They rarely seek a sheltered place to roost; but arc usually found in the open field, oftentimes in the most exposed posi tions. . During the seasons of 1S.1 and 1855 the quail were more abundant than ever known before or since in this State. The three preceding winters had been mild and tho summers dry and favorable to their nesting: but the winter of 1856 almost destroved the entire crop. When spring camo and summer, the whittle of the male bird was rarely heard. When the season arrived for shooting it was a rare thing to find acovey. Prom 1850 a gradual increase took place until Jan. 1. 18G4. On the inorninir of that day tho mercury fell from 20 to 23 degrees below zero. Thousands and tens of thousands of birds were frozen to death before noon. From 1801 to 1SS1 tho increase was slow. It more thnn once occurred, where the winter was mild, that tho summer was wet and unfavorable for nesting, and so no increase took place. The winter of 1SS1 (like those of 1856 and 18t4).wa also very destructive to the quail. In many portions of the State one-half or more of tho crop perished from cold, and in other portions nine ont of ten died from starvation, tho ground heing covered with snow for a long time. The excessive cold of winter and a wet summer both retard the increase of quail The summer of 1SS3 was a fair illustration of the injurious effect of a wet season. Tho first nestings of qnail and the prairio hen were both drowned out by the excessive rains of May, June and Jul v. Many of tho quail had a second brood. The prairie hens never have but one. Hero is a simplo and true history of tho increase and decrease of quail in our State and the causes therefor, for the past twentynine years. If there is any portion of it where prohibition has cfiected any good I cannot see it. It has been tried in Ohio and signally failed. If it were enforced by law, the trap and the hawk wonld take tho place of tho gun.

Disappointed Democrats Denounce the Course Pursued by the President. S. E. Jn in Cincinnati Enquirer. Iu brief, it was Mr. Cleveland who took general charge of things and took advant age of the Democratic party to acknowledge the failure of its first administration since the war. I he spectacle on the 4th of March not being for Mr. Cleveland's enter tainment, perhaps tho retiring President can occupy hi mind, while the cheering goes on for Harrison, with reflections on what might have been. Suppose, for instance, Mr. Cleveland had stood firmly by his letter of acceptance; suppose he had been as severe in his construction of his paragraph about only one term for the chief executive as ho has been in his construction of the civil-servico law, or his obligation to tho mugwumps, buppose he had adnered to the one-term idea, left the Democracy free to choose the strongest man for 1888. and then legitimately exerted his own influence and the power of his administration for the election of the Democratic nominee. Could his personal position have been any more humiliating than it is nowt Would ho not rather be enjoying the consciousness of having done all he could for his party? Would it not nave oeen a greater Honor to havo launched the Democratic party on a quarter of a century of authority in this country than to have spent four years in narrow personal administration and tben to deliver the government to the party which it could have destroyed! Had Mr. Cleveland yielded the office at the end of one term, as his letter of acceptance said he would, and then pursued a strictly Democratic course toward the campaign of 1888, in all probability there would have been a Democratic President to inaugurate on the 4th of March next. Think of Mr. Cleveland standing by the side of a new chief and enjoying at least half of the applause showered by the assembled hosts. The Democratic party would not be done with snch a man. They would have future use for him, and after his mortal career he would live in tho admiring recollection of the never-dying party of the people, with Thomas Jeflersou, Andrew Jackson and Samuel J. Tilden. That would be greater than tho seclusion of a New York law office for ten. fifteen or twenty years, then a quiet farewell, and then oblivion. Mr. Cleveland was renominated on his own platform and by his own machinery, and if the hammering on the grand stands grates on his ears harshly, and if the captive exhibition on the 4th of March hurts his pride he should "brace up" and bear tho burden himself, and not draw heavily on Democratic sympathv, which is now running pretty low. Tho Democrats of the country are exclaiming, "Let the galled jade wince, our withers areunwmng." Guardians Needed for Cigarette Smokers, New York TeJegTam. m Two victims of the insidious and deadly cigarette are noted in last night's press desIatches. The business manager of the iarribsurg Morning Call, a young man of twenty-three, is dead of blood poisoning; a boy of eleven has been taken to tho asylum at Orange Farm, N. Y., a raving and hopeless maniac. Excessive cigarette smoking was the cause in each case. Had Jamea l forseen the modern cigarette ho "would have put more venom into his "couuterblast." What is needed now-a-days is the appointment of guardians for and the commitment to asylums of those who contract the habit in early ,Uf e. It is a vice never formed by the mature man.
