C zararz j WE WANT TO CATCH YOUR AND EYE i V? j that there were still quite a number of paying offices in the hands of the o’d incumbents. It is a rcrnarklmle fact that many fourth class postoffices which used to nay the postmasters from $50 to $100 a quarter do not pay the present incumbent more than one tenth of that revenue. The reason is that the new Democratic postmasters charge apparently just what their bus iness entitles them to, whereas their Republican predecessors charged just, as much ns they thought they could get from the profligate Republican Ad- t illustration. - 1 T'.'kti •% i^ A—t-<t»»A-~J Ray, “has very frequently to send out an inspector to see what is the reason for the serious falling off in postal bus iness, as indicated by reduced salaries earned by the new post maters. A postmaster now at the end of the quarter claims only $5 or $6 as the amount due him on the business of his office for the three months. The hooks show that his predecessor was in the habit of making $70 or $80 every quarter. The inspector investi gates and finds that there has been no apparant falling oft in business. The office is not boycotted; fully as many people patronize it as formerely and they send as much mail mstter as i they had been accumtomed to j send. “The explanation is that while the Republican postmaster had only done j $5 or $6 worth of business,he represen- ; ted that he had done ten times as much and claimed accordingly.

How He Cheated Garrett Out ol the ■ B & O. Baltimoke, Md., Oct 25.—the news this evening publishes a statement which it says Robert Garrett made to an intimate friend last week, giving | the history of the negotiations that were made tor the sale of the Balti more and Ohio Telegraph, It is as fol lows: “Some time previous to the depar ture of Mr. Garrett for Europe,a party composed of Mr. Garrett, Jay Gouid, Vice President King and Generel Counsel John K. Cowen, of the Balti more and Ohio, and a number of other railroad and telegraph men, took a trip up the Hudson River on board a yacht. Before returning, Air. Gould offered Mr. Garrett $8,00').000 for the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph. Garret positively refused, and said lie would not sell for less than $10,000,000. Mr. Gould declined to pay that figure and the subject was dropped, and that was the last that Garrett had to say to Gould ebout the telegraph. Liter Garret went to Europe, and while there organized a s> ndicate of bankers in Amsterdam,who agreed to buy the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph for $10, 000,000. Jay Gould was kept constant- posted through his repr *sentatives and correspondents of every move ment made l>y Gaivett. Meanwhile Jay Gouid was in constant communi cation with two prominent officials of the Baltimore and Ohio, with whom he is well acquainted, and secured their influence and assistance. Pres ident pro turn. Burns, having implicit confidence in these gentlemen, g ive his consent to the sale. The time of Garrett’s departure from Europe was cabled to Gould, and ho urged that the deal bo consummated at once, which was done while Garrett was on the ocean and in ignorance of what wasgoingon. Among those who em barked with him on his return trip was an Amsterdam hanker a member of the syndicate, who had in his possession a certified cheek for $3,000,000, with h was to have been handed to Garrett when the legal papers were drawn for the transfer of the telegraph. The plan embraced a powerful telegrapbio combination, ami comprised all exist ing cable and land lines outside of those controled by Gould.”1 FAKMF.lt TILLMAN And Colonel A. P. Hut lee Likely to Come to Blows. . Augusta Gazette. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 2.—Captain B. It. Tillman, the leader of the polit ical movement in tblsritate known as “The Farmers’ Movement,” deliveml an address to his constituents in Barnwell on Monday, which is more than likely to lead to bloodshed. Till man has been firing hot shot into the present State administration for the past two years, claiming that the far mers of the State are allowed no voice in public affairs, that they are the slaves of an oligarchy, etc. He has a large following, composed principally of the more ignorant class of whites. In this Barnwell speech he charged Colonel A. P. Butler, the Commis sioner of Agriculture, with collecting large amounts of public moneys and not accounting for the disposition thereof, and with general extrava gance, mismanagement and incom petency. Butler is a native of Edge- field, a man of firey temper and un doubted courage. Last winter he publicly gave the lie to Tillman, who for good reasons, did not resent the insult. Butler has left, the city. His friends declare that he will not brook the charge of dishonesty made by Tillman and saj there is sure to he trouble. Butler, being a State ollieer, cannot send a challenge, and it is therefore probable that the affair will culminate in a street duel. Captain Tillman is also an Edgefield man and a brother of Congressman George 13. Tillman. Legal Pnietice in Mots tuna. prom the Chicago Tribune. THE U S. SUPKEMK COUUT DENIES THE WHIT OF EUtiOK.

Washington, November 2.—The decision of the United States Supreme Court upon the petition fora writ of error in the ease of the Chicago An- afehists was announced this afternoon by Chief Justice Waite in a long and carefully prepared opinion which occupied thirty-five minutes iu read ing. The Court holds in brief: First. That the first ten amend ments to the Constitution are limita tions upon Federal and not upon State action. Second. That the jury law of Illi nois is upon its face valid and consti tutional and that it is similar in its provisions to the statute of- Utah which was sustained in this Court in the case of Hopt vs the Territory of Utah. Third. That it does not appear on the record that upon the evidence at the trial the Court should have deelared the jurors, Sanford,incompe tent. Fourth. That the admission of Jo hann Most’s letter and the cross ex amination of Spies, which counsel for prisoners maintained virtualy com pelled them to testify asainst them selves, were n«t objected to in the trial Court, and that therefore no foun dation was laid for the exercise of this C ourts jurisdiction. Fifth. That the questions raised by Gen. Butler in the cases of Spies and Fielden upon the basis of their foreign n itionalitv were neither raised nor de cided in the State Court,and therefore cannot be considered here. The writ of error prayed for must consequently be denied. How alt the Officers of the Southern Army Have Dwindled Away. The extent to which the leaders In the Confederacy have passed away is only appreciated when the roll is called, as has been done by Col. C. C. Jones, Jr., of Augusta Ga., in a feceiit address before the Confederate Survi vors Association. The Constitution of the Confederate States was signed by forty-nine delegates, thirty-seven of whom are dead. The President survives, but Vice Resident Stephens died four years ago. Of Ihe throe who held the port-folio of State in the Cabinet, all are dead; of five secreta- taries of war all: of two secretaries of the treasury one, of four attorney gen erals, two; and the one secretary of the navy: while the sole posmaster gen eral, Mr. Reagan is still very much alive as he proved bv taking the stump for Prohibition in the recent Texas canvass,and arguing against the decla ration on the other side of his old chief. Of thirteen commissioners ac credited to represent the Confederacy abroad,ton are dead. There were five men who bore rank as full generals In the army, of whom Johnston and Beauregard alone survive; twenty- one lieutenant generals, of whom eleven arc dead ; 100 major generals,of whom fifty-five are dead: 480 briga dier-generals of whom Colonel Jones thinks that half are dead. Each year makes serious inroads upon the survivors. Tillman in Barnwell. Reason ami Patriotism Bringingr the Two Sections Closer To gether. Columbia Record.

The soldiers of the North as well as the soldiers of the South know h«w to value t lie stoutest champion of a lost cause.” This is indeed a pleasing evidence of what lias been accomplished by the lapse of time since the surrender at Appomattox, with the opportunities thereby given for a calmer view of tilings in general. To go back no far ther than t wenty, or even but fifteen years, we should find a state of feel ing at the North—and nowhere more pronounced than in the City of Broth erly Love—which would have made it impossible, and perhaps unsafe if possible, for any paper in that section to write words in praise of Robert PL Lee, and in commendation of those who might seek, in whatever form, to perpetuate his memory. Surely there can ho no better assurance of the better times In which we live than is to be seen in the acknowledgment, by a Norl lien paper which manifestly represents much of Northern sen timent, of the moral right of the Southern people to honor one whom Northern sentiment—at least North ern fanaticism—once denounced as a rebel and a traitor.
