Quitk a historic house wa3 moved at Charlotte, N. C, last Friday. A Raleigh special says that it was the stopping place of Jeff Davis when in Charlotte, and it was from the steps of this house that he made the speech in which he referred to the assassination of President Lincoln as an act deeply to b9 regretted, and proclaiming to the people that it was ft deplorable affair. This speech was greatly distorted by some Northern papers. There are some who may yet believe that Davis spoke exultantly of the killing of Ltncoln. There are those still living who heard the memorable speech, and whose testimony has vindicated Davis from the false charges and statements ruatfe against him. No wonder the organs wail and howl every time a Republican i3 turnedoutof the departments at Washington. It Is claimed that the departments are fall of spies. The Cleveland Plaindealer gives some interesting information on this point. His currently reported from Washington that every night by 12 o'clcck Mr. James O. Blaine is apprised of what has been done daring the day in every department of the Government This information is imparted to him by Republican office holders who aro retained in office. While professing non parthanUrn in order to retain their places, these fellows are acting as spies npon an administration to which they are at hf art bitterly opposed. The soon-' er the official nx is applied to their heads the better for the administration, which should be in the hands at its friends. These Itepab lican spies at Washington frequently boast that they are "quartering on the enemy," and g'eefully jlrgle the dollars they receive from the Treasury 1r payment of their salaries, declaring that they sre pulling the wcol over the evf s of a Democratic administration that was ciostn in ordsr that there might be a radical charge in departments that were known tobs corrupt under Republican rule. Tnic Postmaster of Washington, D. C, if cms to have been an "offensive partisan." His name is Cop ger, a eon cf Senator Conger, of Michigan. He is charged with taking a very active part in the District of Columbia Republican Convention last year. It was a very disgraceful affair, and Conger aeeas to have been about the biggest toad in tho puddle. Affidavits have been made charging him with alleged bribery in connection with getting himsslf sent to the Chicago National Republican Convention as a delegate. He says, in regard to the proposed charges: "I did not expect to remain in my position under a Democratic President. I bava bttn in offite now eeven weeks longer ihzn I expected to ba. No, I have not raeincd, nor do I intend to. If the President TTtnb to fill my plrca with toxnecne eh I tzll not cay a word, unless tha change should ba on the ground that I have not

made a gcod Postmaster. In that case I would ask to be shown in what particular I bare been derelict in my dnty. I am no egotist, but I think the people of the city will say that 1 have handled the office well. I do not expect to ßtay. I am a Republican, and I do not think any Republican should expect to retain his office. Ho might change his politics, it is true, in' order to retain his place, but that I could not do. Iamso thoroughly Republican in all my principles that it would be impossible for me to change."

OUR COLORED MINISTER TO HAYTI. Dr. Thompson, who was very recsntiy nominated by tüe President to represent this country at Hayti, is most favorably spoken of by all those who have had any opportunity to hear anything about him, The colored people of the country and the Democratic party particularly may rest assured that he is very much of an improvement over Williams, who was appointed by Mr. Arthur and promptly coo firmed by the Republican Senate. Dr. Thompson was recently interviewed, es econ es the appointment was known, in New York, where he live3. He said that the appointment was a pleasure to him, though he only knew cf it through the papers. Oyer his desk in his office hung a picture of the President, and as he looked at it he said he believed, witboit being egotistical, that his appointment manifested the feeling of the Democratic pary towards tho colored race. He would certainly accept the position when his cooirnisslon arrived. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, editor and proprietor of the Freeman, the leading journal for colored people in New York city, said to a World reporter: 'I am not surprised at the appointment, and &ball net bo surprised at any appointment President Cleveland may make of capable colored Democrats or Liberal-Independent colored Republicans. I expect him to pursue this policy towards the colored people. I expect that Mr. Cleveland and his party will pursue this policy towards the colored people, because it is the first opportunity the party ha3 had eince the war to demonstrate to the whole country, and the colored people in particular, that the party is not the rabid hater and implaca ble enemy of the race which the Kepunlican party and its organs and spokesmen have insisted it to be. The Democratic party, I was sure from tho beginning, would not throw away this opportunity to win to its support its just percentage of the intelligent colored vote of the North and West." "I regard the appointment of Dr. Thompson," he continued, "as very significant, because he was taken from the North. The Republican party hai ignored the Northern colored people, the only prominent appointments made lrom this section haviog been that of E. D. Bassett, of Conoecticat, in ltCI), by President Grant, as Minister and Consul General to Hayti, and Rev. Henry Highland, Garuett, by President Arthur, to be Minister Resident at Liberia. I am pleated that President Cleveland has made this appointment, and I trust he will make others of its sort. In this way the colored people will entirely lose their fear of the Democratic party, be reassure d in their rights as citizens, and be freo to pnrsse such court e in an election as they shall determine by the character of themen placed in nomination and the grave issues upon which these men stand. The Democratic party has it in its power to draw large accessions of strength from the ranks of colored voters, and I shall be surprised if it permits the opportunity to pass unimproved." The interests of the colored race are quite as safe bound np with the Democratic party as they were or will be with the Republican party. "WILL ENGLAND PROHIBIT? An anecdote dramatized a few years since represented an American and an Englishmen making a tour cf the world in company. While going through an interior section of India they encountered a funeral ceremony of a Prince, which included the cremation of his wife, a youug English woman, along with the remains of the deceased. The live Wido was bound and dragged by the heathen priests upon the pile of fagots, and amidst her cries and protests they fired the pile. The much ba-whiskered and dignified Engliibman, stepping forward and extending an arm, pompously proclaimed: "In the name of the English Government I protfst against tbJ3 outrage!" The priest, without the fear of the piotest before their eyes, continued fanning the flames Bat the young American after observing the proceedings for a moment, drew his revolver and ejaculated : "In the name of the American Government, I prohib't this outrage!" and so saying, shot down two or three of the priests, when the rest, with their followers, tcoktotbeirheels, while the young American rescued the English girl from the crematory S3 to-day, as of late, the Englishman hss cnlybeen protesting, while the Russian has been sacrificing the possessions of the Amer. England's ally. Very dignified is Sir John Bull in his side whiskers and sol-' emn protests, but the heathen Cossack military priests are Oing on with the funeral business in Afghanistan. Ecgland needs some of the "I prohibit" nerve of the American tourist. She has protested too long. If ehe isnit going to surrender she should slop protesting and draw her revolver, and begin firing as sho shouts: "I prohibit this cutrage!" A WEATHER WAIL. If the Weather Court pleases, we ajk for a change of venue for the trial of the May case. Evidently the court is prejudiced. It Is giving us the cold shoulder. Its justice is untempered with mercy. We call for a change of venue to a court where the pris oner, Hay, can get out on a writ of habeas corpus for the enjoyment of clear skies, warm sunshine and balmy breezes. Her guards are tired of overcoats, waterproofs, gum boots and whisky punches. They are sighing to wear spring suits and low-quarter thee?, and to quaff lager beer.

Teeth are chattering beneath foreheads that should be beading with perepiration. Thisis all unsatisfactory The Weather Court ha3 acted unfairly by up. It is oih indifferent to our needs as is the administration to the Indiana Democracy. Wo trust tho coming week will bring us more sunshine and more Republican removals; more warm days and mora Democratic appointments fo pestofiices.

Tni: appointment of Mr. Graves to bs Chief of tho Bareau cf EcgraviDg seems to have been a promotion. Mr. Graves has bsen Assistant Treasurer of the United States. Already some cf the gushing and unreliable Washington correspondents of the Republican organs are endeavoring to make the appointment unpopular among Democrats, because they say that Mr. Graves wa3 a Republican. - This is tree to a certain extent, but as he voted for Mr. Cleveland last November, he should not be a very bitter dose lor Democrats. The correspondent of the St. Louis Republican gives some valuable points as to this appointment, from whicn we take our information, and he pronounces it a most Importaht and commendable appointment. Graves i3 one of the few government officers who, during recsnt Republican administrations, openly and persistently expressed their discontent with methods then in vogue, and frankly advocated ' the introduction cf administrative reform methods. He is one of the bsjt equipped men in the Government Eervice. He entered the Treasury Department in 18;:, when a very young man, and in the lowest grade of clerkship. He has Ti?en through every successive grade; has held in turn every responsible position in the Treasurer's office; has been on investigating and examining boards and commissions of every kind ; has had the confidence and esteem of each successive Secretary of the Treasury, and has instituted or been prorateently identified with every administrative reform in that department. His knowledge of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving is probably more thorough, accurate and practical than tfcat of any other Government officer. He planned and virtually executed the reorganization cf that bureau some years ago, and has accomplished many important reforms athI improvements in that service. For room than twenty years his civil eervice and administrative reform views have bsen well known in department circles, but nearly all that time lack ot sympathy and support on the part of his superior officers has kept his work in the background. Oa account of his knowledge and ability Graves was selected by Secretary Manning a3 a member of the commission to investigate .the several bureaus of the Treasury department. During the last ten years he has been a decidedly dissatisfied Republican, and last November he voted for Mr. Cleveland. He is ia thorough and earnest accord with the administrative reform policy of the administration. He has for years been a pronounced, outspoken revenue reformer. That man is a good Democrat. He will stick to the party in all probability. JSove statistics recsntiy published give the "returns" of tho British army for last year. The total effective strength of all ranks of the British army last year was, on January 1,181,227. For the first six months of the year the number did cot vary greatly. On the 1st of July it was 181 580, and on the first cf every succeeding mcnth it had somewhat increaeed until, on December 1, it had reached 183,210, giving an average lor the twelve months of lSo.004. The principal arms that go to make up this total are: Household cavalry, 1,301; Cavalry of the Line, 15,007; Horse Artillery, 1 27i; Artillery, 'JlAol; Engineers, 5,573; Foot Guard., 5.S52; Infantry of the Line, 115.245; Colonial Corp?, 2,3LS. Of these 183,001 of all rank, 7,097 were corurnusioned officer?, 023 warraut officers, 12,1SG sergeants or farriers, 3,302 were trumpeter?, drummers or buglers, and 151,7h; rank and file. Mois than one-half of the army were in 1 SSI employed abroad. Thus, while on an average (1,105 men of all ranks were stationed in England. 21,-113 in Ireland, and only 3,400 in Scotland, rnakicg a total of 81,294 for the United Kingdom, no fewer than 03,C00 were on service abroad. By the 1st of January, 18S5, the numbers had risen to 168,057, and of these 87,039 were stationed at home, 15,200 in Egypt, 20,013 in the colonics, and 57,!23 in the Eait Iudhs. The rest were on passage from one station to another.

ARBITRATION IN EUROPE. CHRISTIAN IX , KING OF DENMARK, WHO WILL I ROB ABLY ARBITRATE T'PON TUE CESTI9N IN DISPUTE RFnVEEN RÜSSIA AND ENGLAND. The statement is made on good authority that the King of Denmark will be accepted by Rns3ia and England to arbitrate upon the question of thealleqed violation by Russia, in attacking the Afghans on March CO, of the agreement msde between EDgland and that power on March 17. That agreement, as the rfaderwill remember, provided for the non advance of either the Russian or Afghan trcops from the positions they occupied at the time, until something further should be done by the European governments interested toward the settlement of the frontier question, and in pursuance of which the moementof either Afghan or Russian forces would be proper. From tr evenly balanced relations of Christian IX., King of Denmark, with the royal families of Russia and Euglaud, his selection to arbitrate on the question stat?d, seeroa to be natural and wise. He ia the father of the Princess of Wa'es, who, in the conrte of nature, will he the aeen Consort cf Kcgl&nd when her husb&nd shall ascend tfce throne, and of the Empres3 of Risaia, wife of Alexander III. The King of Denmark is the first sov ereign of the House of Scblea wig-Hols! einSnderburg Glucksburg. When Frederick VII. died, on November 15. lSKi, th3 direct male line cf Oldenburg, which had been the reigning family of Denmark eince 1118, A. D., bacime ex tinct. Anticipating "this event, the great Powers of Europe, "taking into consideration that the maintenance of the integrity of the Danish monarchy, as connected with the general interests of the balance of pawer in Kurot e, is of high importance to the preservation cf teacf ," signed a treaty in Loadon on May 8, LS52. by the terms ot which the succession to tbe crowu of Danmark was rrnda over to Prince Christian, of Scale wlgHolsteiu Sanderburg-Glocksburg, and to tja direct descendants of his union with the Princffa Louite. of Hes.se-Cassel, niecs of King Christian. V1IL ot Denmark. In accordance with this treaty, a law concerning the succession to tire Danish crjwn was adopted by tbe Diet, or Parliament, of tiie country moot interested, and obtained the roTl sanction Jnly :;t, 18T)3. Under the i rovisiops stated,, CbrViau IX. ascended the throne, November 15, 18'J1. in March of the same year his daughter, Alexsr dra, h8d been married ta tne Prince of Wales, and his ton. Prince Wilhelm, had been eltctd King of tho Hellenes, under the title of Georgois I., by th Greek National Assembly. Subsequently, November 5, 18GS, the King's daughter, Maria Dagmar, was married to the heir apparent of Russia, now the Emperor Alexander III. The next year, October "7, 18G7, the King of Greece, son of Christian IX of Denmork, was married to Olga Coostantinowna, Grand Duchess of Russia. The history cf the present royal family of Denmark is one of the most interesting pages in contpmpo ary European chronicles. When, May 2d. 1812, Prince Christian was married to Lonne, daughter of Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Cassel, it could not have been foreseen that tbeso comparatively obscure persons would become reigning King and Queen of a country to which neither of them was native?, matrimonially re!at?d to England and Russia and. parents of the King of Greece. Their children, not mentioned elsewhere in thia article, are Prince Frederick, heir-apparent, who was married, in 1S)0. to the Princees Lowisa, danghter of King Crl XV, of Sweden and Norway, the Princess Thyr, married to the Prince Ernest August, Dne of Cumberland, and tho Prince Wäldern air, who was born in 1S5.S. The most important domestic event during the reign of Christian IX, has bsen the less by Denmark of the Duchies of Holstein end Schleswig, in 1SGI, which was ceded to Austria and Prussia, after a war disastrous to the Danish arms. By the treaty of 1SG7, after the war between Austria and Prussia, Schleswig-Holstein was made a province of Prussia. Denmark has a population of about two million. The inhabitants are a well educated and thriving people, and are a natiua blessed with the constituents of raal nrosperity ard happines, though little anions: the proad powers of Earope. Senator Vet ana the President. B ooklyn Kigle. The wa7 in whicn two brigh men like President Cleveland and Seo&tor Vest counter on cue another H worth record. "Mr. President.

"Certainly," rejoined the impetuous and incisive M)ounri. 'You can btrdly nominate Mr. Pearson without sending a letter to the Senate that New York Suite has rnu out of capable Democrat. You ca-i't write such a letter, f jr it wouldn't be true. If jou do writs sunh a letter. I'll try tn blive it and vote for IVarson, but if you don't, I'll have to vote agaiEst him.'1 'Now, Senator," put in Mr Cleveland, in his quiet way, but with a twinkle in his eye. let's look at this a minute. If I hai a Missouri appointment to mate. I'd consult you. Mr. Cockrell, and other Democrats of your State.

7be Vice President. fWashlnston Special. 1 Vice President Hendricks left this afterternoon for a few days' recreation at Atlantic City. He has been under a constant strain of physical and mental exertion since the 4th of March, and begins to look forward to a season ot rest with pleasurable anticipations. Mr. Hendricks is one cf the most approachable and genial men ever in public life. Ha neer claias any tiuje his own as long as tnie are people who want to see him on business; never turns any bed 7 away with ron h word!, and he can siy "No" in a manner that breaks the force ol a denial; and he can say "No" when he means it. You never near him complein of being overrun with office-hon teis cr hounded by politicians. He accepts the tark of deaiiDg with then as one whose duty It is to do it, who is paid for it, and who is debarred from any such com plaint. So every man, big and little, who comes hero for anything from the Statd of Indiana Knows bun personally, and approaches him as a friend. This will explatu tbe constant crush at his rooms at Wi Hani's, and tbe continual tax npon his energies. Last year Mr. Hendricks accepted the invitation to deliver the June address at Yal. The pressure here has so monopolized his tine that he wrot, begging to be excussd. Yale has refused to !o eo. and cordiallr ia-s-s!8 on his lecture. In consequence of this, Mr. Hendricks will have to get a few days oü in eome more quiet place, where be can have time lor preparation. He will fallow Mrs. Hendricks to Indiana in the coarse of a couple of weeks. Stimulants in Arctic Uezlonn. (Iledlcal Record. Lieutenant Urcely remarked that breathing air cf such intense coolness had something of the effect produced by breathing pure oxygen. As for pulmonary troubles he beard no complaint of them while the Darty was at Fort Ctirigvr, in Lady Franklin Bay, at a latitude of 82 s, where tne rim two years weie epent.

Canned meatf, of which they nad an abundance during the first two years, and a steak or ragout from the walrus, seal, or polar b3ar, were prized as the essential conditions ot well-beirg. As for spirituous liquors, they were need with exeat moderation and doled out to the members of the expedition as occafion seemed to demand, and only when eoiue unusual exertion or exposure brought fcxuo extraordinary futigue or prostration.

I Washington Post. An official of the Postmaster General's cilice said the other day: "General Grant whs entitled to his first month's pay on the retired list on April 3, but he did not draw it for a week after that time. Thouch the House concurred on March 4 in the Senate bill, placing him on the retired list, the approval of the act wa? dated March as that legislative day ran until Congress expired legally. His appointment to the army oa the retired list, though made only a few minnies before neon on March 1, is dated Msrch .". Everything that would ba dated March 4 would have 10 ba done by President Cleveland. General Grant's ea'ary wilt be as lcrg as he Hvf s $13.500 per annum. He will be paid monthly, and every month a check for $1 4o3 ."3 will be sent him by the Army Paymaster at New Y'ork City. He hai no duties whatever to perform in return. But in this respect he i only like General Sherman. All the army oHicers exrept these two, when placed on the retired list, recejve but two-thirds of their salary. By snec'tl act cf Congress. Sherman, Grant and Sheridan leceive full pay as long as they live." Training a Trotting florae by Swimming. I Turf, Field and Farm.) While Mr. ltotert Bonner was impacting John Turner's horses yesterday in Philadelphia the General told a curious story of horsa training. "When I was a boy, and $2jQ looked as big as a million, I had a horso matched against a pacer to go a single mile fcr $50a side. In training bim I discovered that through excess of action he hit his arms. I was in aespair, when I was advised to try sDd put him into condition by swimming. Like a drowning man, I grasped at a straw. The river ran near my doo-. I hired a man to row me in a beat, while I sat ia the stern Bed held tbe halter. We started un Ftreatn, and the horse swam beautifully. On tbe return he struck cut eagerly, and actually towed the beet I kept this up for ten days, and I never brought a horse to the post in better condition. The violent action in tbe water had ?iven pl ancy and firmne?s to his nicscie s and made his wind as clear 3 the ring of a bell. I won the race easily, bat it is lucky that it was a sjngla dsb, because through bis faulty astioa ha cat his arms into litbsEB." Urs. IXen!rlca Wa Utlit. Chicco Tlmes.J The evening betöre Mra Hendrick3 wnt West from Washington sbo and the Vice President diced with a gentleman with a short name and a long record in Congress, who has been appointed to a foreign mission. During the evening the latter tola Mrs. Hen diicks that he wes going to take with him as Secretary of Legation a RepuhlicAU. Mre. Hendricks retorted: 4Oavernor Hendricxa is rot lespcnsible for my opinions in general, anQ particularly for qt opinion in thin imtance, but I think you owei your aat in Congress to Democratic votes, and I think you owe your present appointment ta l)sm cratic votes. If you are nnder obligations to jour lie publican Irland I think you oucht to tettle the matter with him personally and five the office of Secretary to a Dsmocrat." The Minister afterward told the etory, and eald he guessed Mrs. Hendricks was right, and he had better take a Democratic Secretary with him.
