Men cannot oMaln work, thieves are niultiplyxn, the police are barely able to enforce order, and Socialists are waring the red flag and snouting the "Glorious CommuBe." The mob spirit is abroad and dangers multiply. It is stated that a fall exposure of the frauds in Ohio by which the Democrats were cheated out of a majority In the legislatare and prevented thereby from sendins a Democrat to the United States senate would probably defeat Foraker's election. The indications are that the exposure will be made in dne time. Ths present Government of England is likely to go down because of its Irish policy, which is being denounced by members Of Parliament as t jrann y not government, but a ' Confession of inability to govern Ireland." And now it is boldly asserted, it England can't govern Ireland the only way left is "to let Ireland govern herself." The trouble with Ireland is that it is about half English. Begging in llassia is followed by an ar my of 320,000 professionals, of whom it is said 230,000 live absolutely on casual charity. Formerly, a professional beggar could obtain about 200 rubles a year, but competition has reduced the amount to about forty rubles. This is a pretty severe drain on the charitable people of Russia, as at forty rubles each, the amount swells to $14,500,000. Between despotism, Nihilism and begging, the outlook for Russia is rather gloomy. From 1374 to 1SS5, thirteen years, there were 4 004,418 immigrants landed on our ehorea. Of them 1,304,11." came from the British Islands including Ireland; Germany lent 1.3.) 271, and the British Canadian Provinces, C79.420; China contributed 147,8 . Contributions from China, all the rest of Asia, Africa, and from places not specified, amounting to 177,790; deducting this number and the immigrants from Canada, and we have remaining 4.077,11!) of Europeans: and all pretty fair material. The State officers are not to be blamed because two employes robbed the State stole books valued at $1,200. Bat any attempt to shield the thieves from merited punishment because they vote the Republican ticket will be treated with just indignation. This dirty work has already been engaged in by the two Republican sheets of tha city the Journal and the News and they have published to the wjrld that the indicted thieves had permission to sell the books. It is difficult to conceive of a lower depth of partisan depravity. It is at once a shame and a scandal, bat serves to bring into haggard prominence the lying professions of Republican bosse?, when tbey would have the public believe they are the guardians cf public morality. Tkz Mormon Church has polygamy for a corner-stone and for its central pillar. It believes that old Joe Smith had a revelstion from heaven authorizing polygamy. Thechnch will surrender the dogma when it has to and not before. The duty of the Government is to knock polygamy out of the Mormon church. Bs sides, the Mormon church is a Church and State organization, fundamentally anti-American; that too will have to go, and until sach things are absolutely eliminated from the Mormon church, it would be the extreme of folly to make Utah a State. I'nder any circumstances it would be a Mormon State and an enemy to American institutions. The right thing to do is to let Utah remsin as a territory. It will be dangerous to confer upon it Slate rights and sovereignty. THE RECENT LYNCHING. Amer Green perhaps deserve! death, hut it would have a sitiifaotioi to a great Hiiuiy people to have heard hi3 story of the crime of which he was undoubtedly guilty. LjecU law is io be deprecated. Tnera is too much danger of takins the life of the innocent without giving tne suspected offender an opportunity to establish his innocence Are courts becoming too tardy in the administration of justice? Loganepart Pharos. v If it be granted tbat Green deserved death, it was a penalty for a crime of rarely paralleled atrocity. He betrayed and muidered a young woman, the daughter of a man, eaid to be a "wealthy farmer." It do? J Dot matter whether the father of Oreen's victim was rich or poor the law does not consider euch things though far too much importance in matters of crime is attached to wealth. If the victim is poor, and the wrong is inflicted by a person of wealth, little, far too little, is mad or done. If the victim !s rich, and the wrong is perpetrated by a poor devil, bis doom is settled. It is about time tha -. such distinctions were discarded. But such questions aside, the good people not the bad people of Carroll county had deliberated upon Green's case, and bad rendered their verdict. A iter all, Green may have been innocent. Men are fallible courts and juries are the same mistakes have occurred, and will continue to occur. Green protested his innocence but a man who could commit such a murder as was charged against him, would lie. Men have lied and committed perjury for considerations ar less weghty. Circumstances all pointed to Green as the murderer of the young woman. The people honestly believed him guilty, There was doubtless a hance for his escape. The good people of Carroll County men of families of daughters, regarded it prudent to remove Green; pat him out of the way; end bis caeer. Hi was more dangerous than a mad dog and the home from which the girl was taken and murdered, was infinitely snore desolate than Jt she had died of by drophobia. It is all nonsense to talk about ths disgrace Of the State or of a county whea murderers Jike Amer Green are killed by an indigJiaat people Tha farmers of Carroll Coaa-

ty are not dangerous men, bat when so great a calamity as that which befell their neighbor is announced, with all of its harrowing and horrifying details, then what is termed sometimes the "higher law" takes the lead. Then it were as well to attempt to shackle the tides as to stay the march of revenge. Oa such occasions the great heart of humanity throbs for retribution, and then the guilty must not come within reach. It may be all wrong, but human nature is made that way: and reflecting men know where to place the responsibility.

POSINO A3 POLITICAL. SAINTS. The New York Herald is constantly reminding Republicans of their hypocrisy. The Herald saya Republicans claim that their party "has practically given each citizen a free home by securing the public domain from the monopoly of capital. This," says the Herald, "recalls Baron Munchausen who had the same habit of extolling himself for heroic achievements which were all in his eye. The cold, unflinching records of history show that the Republican party has uniformly played into the hands of the 'monopoly of capital,' and deliberately cheated nearly a million and a halt of our citizens out of farms of one hundred and sixty acres each by giving over two hundred million acres of the public domain to bi corporations, cattle syndicates, land speculator and aliens." It is such facts as the Herald sets forth, that place the Republican party before the country In its trne light, in all of its naked deformity the most corrupt, the most lnfamms, tbat ever held power in the Government. Says the New York Times: "In the last two years and a half the General Land OfrW has restored to the publicdomain more acres of land than there are in the State of New York. This is perhaps the most prominent fact set forth in the annual report of Commissioner Sparks, and it accounts in great measure for the abuse which has been poured out upon him from day to day by the organs of land job bers. This land has been restored to the public domain for settlement. It has been reclaimed from those who had procured it by fraud or were holding it without authority of law." This land was stolen under Republican rule. Republican administrations aided and abetted this robbery, and honest Republican papers admit the truth of the charge In all of its height, depth and breadth. The Herald says: "The Republican party has no principles to fight for." It never was a party of principles. It has been a party of plunder. "What tbe country needs and mutthave," says the Herald, "if it is to be prosperous is an administration that represents the whole Republic from Maine to the Pacific and from tbe lakes to the Gnlf. Naw, the Republican party never has done that. It was not born to do it. It is essentially a sectional party, and never has been any thing ehe. It has not only neglected tbe millions of the South, but it neyer in dorses a party platform without expressing a suspicion of them. Its business at the present moment is not to unite North and South, but to keep them asunder." Here we have it, the Republican parly is not only a land ktealiag party, a monopoly party, a party of jobs and rings, of frauds and forgeries, but a sectional party, which would, if it could, inaugurate war, strife and bloodshed. The people will not reinstate such a party. They see in the Democratic party a determination to restore lands to the people stolen under Republican administrations. Already, says the New York Times, a Republican paper, "more acres than there are in the State of New York," and New York has 31.4m.S0O acres! And this vast area stolen under Republican rule the Democratic party is giving back to the people, and the amount, before March 1, 18S9, will swell to 100,000,000 acres. All that is required is to keep the infamous record of the Republican party before the people. THE INDIANAPOLIS DEMOCRACY. The Democrats of Indianapolis are as loyal to Democratic principles, Democratic policy, Democratic traditions, Democratic measure!, as are Democrats in any city, town or county in Indiana, or beyond the boundaries of the State and this fact the Democratic press of the State ought to know r.nd does know. In regard to the recent city election, the facts have been stated time and again, and yet, there are a few Democratic papers in the -State that ignore the facts and con tinaally chime in with Rspublicaa organs to traduce and defame ths Indianapolis Democracy. Just here we ask, by what standard is the Democratic party in Indianapolis or else where to be judged? First (in local elec tions, the reply should be accepted as ans wering the question satisfactorily) by the character of its candiJatij. ' What other test more fully meets the requirement? The Democratic party of Indianapolis, named for its candidate for mayor a cit'zan of stainless, unimpeachable character, la public and in private life his record was without a blemish. No one did, no one dared assail it His hands were clem. Iiis life was exceptionally pure. He had come up from the working men of this city. He badbten industrious; commendably am bit ions. He was self made in the best seme of the term. His reputation waa impregnable. He was a credit to our civilization an honest, industrious, hard wo r ling man oi nonoraoie amoitions; a representative man of all things of good report. This is no eulogy, but simple truth known of all men of all parties In the city of Indianapolis. The Democratic candidate for Mayor was nominated by no tricks of bo3sism, Coyism or any other ism; but honorably, fairly ana in strict accordance with the usages of the party, Dr. Kdenharter was named as the Democratic candidate for Mayor. Now we ask the Democratic press of Indiana, if putting forth such a candidate for Mayor, the Democratic party of Indianapolis could have been more loyal to tbe best interests of the party, the best interests of the city? Buch etherialized sheets las the ßouth Bend Times and the Evansville Courier ought to answer. They ought to state if in the cities where they are published the Democratic party has done bet ter. We have eaid that the character of the

Democratic candidate for Mayor was uaassailed and unassailable. What then? This: the Republican sheets charged day after day that Democrats by voting for such a candidate for Mayor voted in the interest of crime and of criminals: voted against law and order; voted against the honest administration of the laws; voted in favor of debauching courts, in favor of drnnkeness, licentiousness, prostitution, and general demoralization, voted in favor of tally-sheet forgeries and every onceivable wickedness, and because Sim Coy had been indicted they applied the epithet of "Coyism" to the Democratic party and succeeded in electing their candidate for Mayor; not by a majority but by a plurality, and this, too, in a city that for thirty years excepting an interregnum of four years, had been Republican. Notwithstanding such facts brought into the boldest prominence by results, we find here and there a paper claiming to be Democratic, lending its space and influence to the Republican party to aid it in black

ening the character of Indianapolis Democrats giving aid and comfort to the enemy indorsing Republican vilification of Democrats, unparalleled in the aauals of calumny. These Democratic sheets in no instance refer to the character of .the gang that defamed Democrats the most blistered of whom carry records covered all over with blemishes, and among whom are defaulters, indicted felons, confessed felons, and men known to be rotten to the core. Democrats of Indianapolis expect to be maligned by Republican by the Republican press but they have a right to expect better treatment from tbe Democratic press of the State. The characters of the men the Democrat psrty named as Candi dates on the city ticket at the late election, were exceptionally good, and tried by any test, would triumphantly pass muster. What more could be asked? Indeed, what more could the Indianapolis Democrats have done? We boldly assert we challenge contradiction that the Democrats of Indianapolis, in naming candidates for their city ticket, were eminently. pre-eminently mindful of all things good and true in character. Is it not enough, in God's name, that the Republican press, aided by an unscrupulous gaDg of Republican scamps, should denounce, malign and vilify Indianapolis Democrats? Why need the South Bend Times and the I'vansville Courier come to tbe aid of the Republican party in such an emergency? If the Democrats of Indianapolis had put forth vile men boodlers, or the advocates of boodlers, defaulters, or the advocates of defaulters they would have deserved defeat and ostracism. But they put forth men of unblemished characters, and, though they did not elect them, there was no dishonor in the defeat; and such facts, as we have stated, the Democratic press of the State might repeat with the most positive assurance that they are telling the truth, and in some measure extracting the fangs from the vilest slan ders and falsehoods that the Republican press ever set afloat. WORD MURDER. In the theory of the law of Illinois and in fact, murder ran le committed with words. St. Louis Republican. If our Missouri contemporary is correct, the murderous words in our vocabulary ought to be pointed out so that men, particularly newspaper men, might avoid them indeed it might be advisable to elim inate them entirely from the language. In a country of free speech and a free press where all men are sovereign, where the government is of. for, and by the peo ple, there is a freedom in the use of words not known, or at least, not tolerated in lands where the people are crushed under the weight of despotism. We have yet to learn when and where a murder was com mitted by any word in the English language. It was the opinion of Judge Gary in sentencing ths Chicago Anarchists, that "opinions, doctrines, ideas and teachings" led to the throwing of the bomb which brought about the havoc but it was the bomb that exploded; not the words of the Anarchists. Treason does not consist in words the overt act must be proven. Words may suggest murder as in the case of Murat Halstuad, when he suggested the murder oi A ore ham Lincoln, it was an dea, a teaching, an opinion, but there was no overt act on the part of Mr. Halstead; and John Brown could have held to his doctrines and opinions about slavery till dooms-day, could have taught them as much as he pleased, but he would never have been hanged for them, It will occur to a good many people that the time has arrived to designate the murderous words in the English langusg9 words for which men may be banged or imprisoned. We know what crimes are designated as murder, in the first, second and third degree; and if in Illinois, certain words can and do commit murder, the people ought to know what words belong to the list. There are certain weapons made to kill, specially designated for that purpose and are of little value for any other rurose. There are other articles of universal utility that may be suddenly transformed into murderotU weapons, bat it occurs to us -that it would bother tbe most erudite philologist to name the murderous words in the language words that kill. If the SU Louis Republican has such a list at hand it ought to publish them for the good of the newspaper fraternity. Familiarity on 8Mtlit Acquaintance. Harper's Bazar Tommy's father's business affairs call him from home early in the morning and keep him until late at night to such an extent that the two are but alighty acquainted. Recently the old gentlemen found it necessaiy to punish Tommy for some offense, and the boy, with tears In his eyes.sought his mother for consolation. "Why, what's the matter, Tommy?'' she asked. "The m-man that e-aleeps here nights i spanked me," he sobbed. JL Danierooa Man. Kebraska Journal. "Do you see that tall man across the street 7" "Yes. What of him?" "Well, he hue record of having killed thirteen jnea in one year." A desperado, is he? He doesn't look like one "He isn't He's one of the most gentlemanly physicians in town."

LAKE WRECKS.

In Intsajs Storm With Driving Saw Ciaeing Great Damijs to Shipping. 1 Schooners Ashore and Missing The Gale at Chicago On Lake Erie A, Severe Storm on the Atlantic Coast MARCjrrrra. Mich , October 21. A storm almoBt the parallel in Intensitr and direc tion of wind and amount of snow fall, of that which caused such havoc on November 17 last year, set in at daylight yesterday. The wind blew from the northwest to the north forty-five miles an hour all day while a blinding snowstorm raged, making the gale doubly dangerous for vessels. The captain and crew of the schooner George Sherman, have reached the city and report the Sherman a total wreck on Short Point about ten mile from Marquette. The Ira Brady struck at about the same place a little before the Sherman. Captain Gilford thinks his crew also escaped. The Sherman left the Saulte at 7 a. m. Saturday and was struck by the Btorm this side ot White Fish fomt, commencing at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. She got along finely in company with the Bradly, until afternoon, when the vessels separated and soon the captain of the Sherman found that in tbe thick snow storm she wa3 close ashore. He attempted to come about to clear South Point, but was driven hard on a rock beecb. Seems; that the schooner was lost, the crew tock the boa. While going ashore the main mast leu across the boat without injuring any one, though when the shore was reached, the captain was dished against the rocks and badlr stunned, bat was pulled ashore by the others. All were saved. They struck tbe beach at 2:30 p. m. and kept wandering around in tbe woo is until s o clock In the blinding snow, almost dead from exhaustion, dragging the woman cook on a litter. When they reach ths railroad track they flagged an ore train bound tor Marquette. The YesalJ doubtless will be a total wreck OTHER WRECK?. The Alva Bradley was coal-laden and was consigned to the railroad company here. She went ashore before the Sherman. Captain Gilford said she is on head first aad apparently easy. He thinks the crew got oir, as it was only a few rods to the shore. He saw nothing of the crew, but could not. stop to hunt for them because of the cr.et dition of bis own men. fiothing was see : of their small boats. It is believed the crew of tbe Bradley are now roaming around in the woods in the terrible storm and the City Marshal with a gang of fifteen men have gene to und them if possible. The Lawrence is probably lost, as she passed the Saulte yesterday for Portage entry. The Wahanpitape carried from here at J a. m., just before tbe storm came on, and will certainly have trouble. The barge Plymouth is ashore on the north west corner ot I're.-oue Isle, hye miles above Marquette. Her crew is still on boaid and cannot tret ashore on account of the high cliffs. A heavy sea prevents res cuers from getting near the wreck, but it is thought a tug wi'l take them ou as soon as the &ea moderates a little. The Plymouth will proye a total loss. The crew of tne Alva Bradley, ashore on Shot Point caanot reach shore owing to the loss ot their small boat. It is thought the vessel will bold together lone enough to enable the life-saving crew to rescne the crew. RIPORTS OF A FEARJTL GALK. Saclt St Maris, October 21. The C. P. R. Bteamship Albert A. arrived here this morning from Port Arthur, being the only vessel attempting to face the gale which raged on Lake Superior yesterday. Cap tain Anderson Stated that the boat never experienced such a trip. The Lake Superior Iran sit company a steamer India, with two other vessels, are uader cover at Iroquois Point. Fourteen other vessels are weather Dound at Whisky liiy and nine at Whiskey Point. All the ves sels dare not go out in such a sea. A ter rible northwest gale started Saturday morning and changed Sunday morning to a northeast gale, accompanied by a blind ing snow storm. Messrs. Hickler A Green's dredge, which started from Saginaw in tow of tug Anna Mailes, has not been heard from. She was to leave Falls Presnue Isle two hours behind the propeller Egvptian, which arrived here vesterday, and tear are exnresjed for their safety. No other diasrs are reported as yet. The storm still ra es. Thn wind calmed a little th'.s niornintr. but about roon a Northwest gale started with a heavy snow. The first mate of the Bcboomer J. E. Potts arrived here to-day, and reports the Propeller Sherman and Schooner Alva Bradley abore near Marquette. Tbe propeller Georg Spencer, with consorts Ironton and tremble, letr. here this morning, bound down, and are hard aground on the flits at the lower end of Lake George. This will block navigation np and down Lake George. The steamers Alberta and United Empire left here this morning and were obliged to return to Garden river. Seventeen vessels are weatherbound here. The passenger steamer India, which has been anchored at Wbiteiish Point since Sanday, left for Duluth this afternoon. The passage at Lake George will probably be cleared tomorrow afternoon. The storm is still raging. . Grand IIa v kit, October 21 Nothing has been heard from the barge Argonaut sines she steamed westward last evening. As her steering gear was somewhat damaged. fears are entertained for her safety, She blew signals of distress yesterday, aad tbe tug Batcheller and tbe life-saving crew went to her assistance, but could do noth ing for her. as she was too heavily laden to get over the outer bar. There were fifteen men on board. Sandy Bxacu, Mich , October 21 The propeller Oswegatchie came in early this morning and reported that while eight utiles above the harbor, at 11 o'clock last nizht with the bsrges Dolphin aad Morri3 in tow, tbe line parted and the birges went adriit. ine uoipnin was waterlo?ced. Tbe Morris seemed all risht. bat neither boat could hSVÖ lived tbe night out, Th? ataaj barge, Bichard Martine, went ashorA at Point Anx liarques öatur dST night. She threw over part of her deck load and worked hersalf off yesterday, and is now at Grindstone City with t adder gone and is leaking badly. THE STRM AT CHICAGO. Chicago, October 24 There was heavy wind all of yesterday and last night, blow ine with almost tbe velocity of a storm, and much damage to exposed vessels may be expected. It extended over the entire lake region, and at midnight had a veloci ty of about forty miles. Beyond one or two trivial accidents, no injury to shipping was reported in the local harbor, and tbe few vessels which arrived from outside suffered nothing worth mentioning. OK LAKE ERIE. Clevki.akd, October 21. The three masted schooner Zack Chandler, of Cleve land left Ashtabula with coal for EacaaabaatG o'clock Sunday morning. Last night she was driven on a bar off Nobles station on the Lake Shore railroad. All night long the waves broke over the decks and the officers and crew ten in number were compelled to lash themselves to the rigging. At 1 o'clock this morning the disaster was reported at this port and captain Goodwin, of the life saving ser ice, went to the rescue on a special train, The crew was rescued after considerable difficulty. The Chandler is evidently oroken in two. She was owned here and was loaded with 1 207 tons of coaL AsHTAHri.A O., October 21. The achoon r I V In at liiAn for Frl and laklag badly, attempted (9 ftuctw o&jsil (he

harbor, broke away and drifted onto rocks outside of the piers and sank in twenty feet of water. The crew was saved by small boats. GU THE ATXAKTIC COAST, 00. Newport, Pw I., October 24. A telegram fram the life saving station at Point Judith says a large ship is anchored nine milee west of the station, and th.it a gale from the southwest is blowing. The vessel is believed to be the training ship Portsmouth, which sailed from New York yesterday. She shows no signals, but the life saving crews are preparing to render her assistance should she need it. The Portsmouth has four anchors out, but unless the gale moderates she can hardly escape going ashore oft the dangerous rocks OÜ Point Judith. All the life saving crews within reach tre being hurried to the scene. The ship has several hundred souls on board, and should her anchors, drag a large loss of life is feared. At the request of Capt. Yates, of the New Hampshire. Admiral Luce has sent the Dolphin to render all possible assistance to the training shin Portsmouth. A despatch received from Point Judith about 4 o'clock by Captain Waters says; "The Portsmouth is sending up signals, but they cannot be read." t New Yor.K, October 24. A great gale swept over this city this morning, the wind attaining a maximum velocity of sixty-six miles per hour. One house was blown down, shade trees, signs and windows suffered terribly. No serious damage is reported. FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.

Tli Anarclilnt Case to be Heartl Prohibition Caaes National Banks. Washington, October 21 In the I'nited States Supreme Court to-day Chief Justice Waite read the formal order in the Anarchist case, of which notice was given Saturday, and. which provides for a hearing on Thursday next of the argument upon tbe Anarchist for ; writ of error. AttorneyGeneral Hant, f Illinois, who wa9 present in tbe court m, asked whether the Court desired t -9ar argument in behalf of the State. '1 io Chief Justice replied tbat the Cour merely wished to noti.'y him that the L .string would bs given on that day in order that he might take such action in behalf of the State as he should think nest "If I wish to make oral argument in behalf of the State," asked Attorney-General Hunt, 'Shall I be permitted to do so?" "You will," replied the Chief Justice. The following is the text of the order made by the Court: The Supreme Court of tlie State of Illinois following the precedent in Twitclieil vs tbe Commonwealth, 7 Wall 321, we have permitted this motion to be made in open court, at the suggestion of Mr. Justice Harlan, to whom the application was firt presented, on account of the urgency of the case and its importance. But, as was said in that case, "Writ of error to the State courts have never been allowed as of right, that is to say as of course and it is the duty of him to whom application for such a writ is made, to ascertain from an examination of the record ot the State court "whether any question, cognizable here on appeal, was made and decided in the proper court ot toe State, and whether the case on the face of the record will justify tbe allowance of tbe writ." Deeming that the proper practica, we will bear counsel on Thursday next, in support of this motion, not only upon the point whether any lederal queetious were actually made and decided in ihe upreme court ot the State, but alo upon the character of those questions, so that we may determine whether they are such as to make it proper for us to bring the case here for review. We have wised the Attomsy-ieaerai of Illinois to be informed that the motion will be heard at the time stated. The Court to-day denied the motion to advance made by Mr. Packard, of Chicago, in four prohibition liquor cases from Iowa and one from Georgia, standing on the docket as numbers 1.01S and 1,001 to 10: inclusive. They involve the same questions which were presented by the case of Siebold A Hagelan, already argued. The Attorney General ot Kansas, who by reason of a misapprehension, did not appaar to argue the latter case orally, was in the court room this morning, and file! a petition for leave to make oral argument now, notwithstanding the fact that the court has already taken the case under advisement. The question presented by this case is regarded 83 a very important one since it in volves the constitutionality of all the prohibition legislation since the adoption of the Fourteenth amendment, which does not provide for compensation to brewers and distillers for the value of the property destroyed by the forcible closing oi their establishments. Attorney-Gdneral Garland submitted to the Court to-day a motion to have advanced for early hearin tbe case of tha Receiver of the First National Bank of DaiTalo, N. Y against Elbridee pauldiog aud otheis, which involves the question o!rthe respon sibility of the directors of tbe rational bancs for ne2t:gence in the- performance of their duties. The motion to advaocs is made at the Trauest of the Comptroller of the Currency. A decision was rendered or tue uprenae Court of the United States to-day in the three eases of the United States appellant, Bgain3t;tne fetaus ot Louisiana, Aiaoaoia and Mississippi. These were suits brought in the court of claims by the btates named to recover from the United Suites fi7e per cent of the net proceeds ot the sales of public lands within their limits and also to recover indemnity for swamp lauds purchased by individuals, the proceeds of which were by statute directed to be applied as far as necessary to the rsclamatiou of such lands by means of leeves and draining. The United States maintained thtt tbeCourt of Claims hadjno jurisdiction to determine a cause in which a State su?d the I'nited States; tbat a part of the claims were barred by the statue of limitstioos, and tbat the United States were entitled to make a set off or counter claim on account of the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi ander the act of August 5, lSil. The Court of Claims decided tbat it had jurisdiction; that the disputed items were not barred by tbe statute of limitation, and that set-oft or counter claim could not be allowed. This court affirms the judgment. Opinion by Justice l-'ield. The Best Security. Townsend Percy's London Letter. The Brs8sejs have left Sydney in their yacht Sunbeam. A good story is told to the credit of Lord Tommy's papa, which runs just like this. In tbe dawn of life Lord Brassey's papa was a young man with lots of energy, a good character, and (it follows) no cath. He was in the employ of a Chester banker, Mr. Wardell. Being, l'ke sis eon's wife, of a pushing turn of mind, he saw bis way to enter on snail contracts, At last he was offered a yery Urge railway contract far beyond his means. In his extremity be waited on his old msster, laid the facts of the case befcre bim, and asked him for a large advance. 'But,' he continued, "I have no security to ofier you." "Yes, you have the best a good character. You sball have the money." (Mr. Wardell lived before the day s of dt faulting clergymen. Now come tbe poetry of the aflair. Years after, when Brastey was a second Cra'sus, a rumor got about that Warden's bank was shaky. Brtssey heard of it and sped to Chester. I have just heard the bad news, What sum do you require?'' "Several hundreds of thousands," wss the hopeless reply. "You shall have it." "Bat I have no security at all?" "Yes, yon hare tbe bes . a good character." A Yery Small Itlemish. New York Sun. .

Eighteen months after tbe death of the first she married the second, who refuses to support her. and she desired the Magistrate's advice on the legality of the marriage.

The Extensive Criminal Trade of James H, McGindUy. Washington Special. James H, McGmdley was arrested by Special Examiner Jacobs, of the Pension Bureau, on Beptember U0, on a charge of forgery and other frauds in connection with pension claims. On the same day he was brought before Commissioner A. J. Williams at Cleveland, Ohio, where he waived a hearing, and was sent to jail in default of $10,000 bail. Subsequently the grand jury of the I'nited States Court lor the Is orthern District of Ohio, found against bim ten indictments embodying forty-two independent counts, and he is cow imprisoned awaiting trial. James H. McGindley was born in the North of Ireland April 21, 1S?G, and came to America with his- father, Mannesseh McGindley, when very young. McGindley settled in Martin County. Ind. James received a collegiate education and was graduated with honors in the fall of 1S35. and in December in tbe same year was admitted to the Bar of Martin County, Ind. In April he was commissioned Justice of the Peace by Asbel P. Wi:ird, then Governor of Indiana. He remained in Martin County until the breaking out of the war, when he removed to Qnincy. Ill, and continued to practice his profession. In 1 he began to proeecute claims against the Government, making pensions a specialty. He was very successful, and did a large and lacrative business, but be soon began a career of crookedness unnaralleled in the history of the Tension Bureau. He provided himself with the records of soldiers whi were killed or died in the service during the war, and, after ascertaining mat they left no one surviving entitled to a pension, be would manufacture a bogus widow and file a claim in her natne. He would ala j continue to draw the pensioa of genuine widow pensioners long after their deatQ. Many years ago it was discovered that McGindley was engaged in swindling the government, and United States olhcers were put upon his (rack, but he managed to elude them and left Wuiacy for parts unknown. Soon after leaving uincy McGindley 's friends circulated a report that he had died at New Orleans of yellow fever, and for a time the report was credited by the government oiliciala. But subsequently it was discovered that McGindley was in St. Louis practicing his old schemes nnder the name of L. Carpenter & Co. This was in 1SS0, and steps were taken to secure bis arrest, but before the officers arrived in St. Louis he ha 1 a -in disappeared without leaving, the slightest clue behind him. For several months Commissioner BiacK has been engaged in verifying the pension roll, with a view of purging it of all pensioners not entitled to pensions, and also of ascertaining whether pensions were being Illegally drawn In the names of dead persons, as had been alleged. During the investigation it was discovered that a number of widow pensioners were credited with a residence in Toronto, Canada, who drew their pensions through the Chicago Pension Agency. This fact caused him to look more closely into the matter, when it wss learned that the supposed Canada widows bad atone time been enrolled on the (juincy. 111., agency, before the latter was consolidated with tbe Chicago agency, some years ago. It was also learned that the attorney in all the Toronto cases were none other than the long lost McGindley. Gen. Black held a consultation with his Chief of Special Examiners, and as a result bpeciai examiner Jacobs waa provided with extradition papers und dispatched to Toronto to effect McGindley's capture and transportation to tbe United States. From Toronto McGindley was traced to Cincinnati, and from theuce to Cleveland, where all tracs of him was loit for a time. On th22nl of last month tbie Pension Agent at Chicago receive.! two Touchers for the payment of pe isions in the cases of Elizabeth M. Geldes and Catharine O'Haran. In the case ot G idles the Pension Agent was directed to send the check to the Post Office at Nawbure, Ohio, and in the OaHaran case the check was ordered sent to Brooklyn Ylllage, O. Tbe day after these checks had beet mailed, Examiner Jacobj arrived in Chicago, and upon learning the fact, departei at once for Cewburg.Ohio, whore he found the letter containing the Klizubeth M. Gd 1des chsck at the Post Office. Ths O" tl na letter was found at the Brooklyn Villa: Post Office, and, after placing that Past Office under surveillance, the Special iltemicer took np hi9 residence ia t!;s NewbuTg Post Office, awaiting tSe arrival of Mrs. Geddes, the alleged widow pensi oner. After waiting live dys an old mm topeareJ and prf pented an order to the postmaster, if juesting that the mail addressed to Elizabeth Geddes be delivered to the bearer, H. B. Mason. In compliance with the order tbe postmaster banded ths letter from the Chicago Pecsion Agent to H, B. Mason, who, placing it in his pocket, strolled leisurely away. Ju3t as Mr. Ma3on reached the street he was confronted by Examiner Jacobs, who addressed him as Mr. McGindley (for such he really proved to be), aud being taken off hisgaard he unwittingly responded to his name. He was was put under arrest and acknowledged bis identity, and ally confessed his long c&rer of crime. Documents found on bis person disclosed his place ef residence to be ."13 Broadway, Cleveland. The place was found to bs a hotel and saloon, of which McGindley, under the name of H. B. Mason, was the proprietor. The place was ssarched, and among tbe proprietor's effects was found a bogus notary public seal, which had bean used in executing pension vouchers, and a mcis of papers which clearly established the fa:t ot McGindley's wholesaleswindles.

.THE LATE JUDGE ELLET. Something About the Man Who Fell De J at Memphis. Memphis Avalanche. Into this life Judge Eilet, a hale yoia; lawyer went, like Prentiss and Quitman, a Northern man. From the first tne nobility of his character, the sincerity of his virtue, the force of his mind, the dignity of his bearing was recognized. McClung, the bold, mad duelist, who wantonly and bratally insulted, and when in his enps was fond of provoking ouarrels with men of quiet bearing, passed him by without a taunt and with expressions ot deepest respect. Prentiss, who damned all Democrats in Mississippi as rascals, always excepted "that young fellow Eilet at Port Gibson." All loved and admired him ia private life, all feared him at the bar and on the stump. He won his way over ths hearts of those who wished to gainsay him. Everybody who knew him selected bim as the type of the Southern gentleman. It is curious that so many of ths typical leaders of the South before the war. and who were an embodiment of its fire, its eloquence and its audacity, should have come from the North. In Arkansas were Albert Pike and C. W. Adams; ia Mississippi were Prentiss, Quitman, Robert J. Walker and Eilet

With a cry of pain the innocent victim fell faintiDg to the pavement and her as3ailaat turned to rlee. The mob of hoodlums reized him, however, and after beating him with sticks and stones, were only prevented from lynching him by the intervention of a number of determined citizens who rescued the bleeding and helpless man and i:ave him np to the police. Mrs. Adams was carried to her home. Sas is in a critical condition and will probably die. Bosso is now in jail. He is badly, but not seriously hurt.
