Hinte*)? ?nUliipnm> E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. I, 1877. The commission to visit Sitting Bull have concluded their labors, and will re? tire from the diplomatic service without laureis, as their efforts were totally un? successful. The wily Indian is now in Canada, and proposes to remain thfre until he chooses to return, and then he intends selecting his own route. He treated the commission rudely, and de? nounced the white people of the United States for treachery and tyranny. The most that we can hope for is that he will stay beyond the limits of our govern? ment. The case of Senator Patterson who was claimed on a requisition of the Governor of South Carolina, and who sued out a writ of habeas corpus, has been further postponed by agreement of counsel at tho request of the Attorney General of South Carolina, who was unable to be in Washington on the 31st, on account of o fflcial business. The case will not again be heard until sometime after the tenth of November; the exact time to be agreed on hereafter, with the express under? standing and agreement that no other requisition will be made or new charges preferred, during the pending of the present proceedings before Judge Hum? phrey. Judge David Davis is playing the In? dependent in the Senate with the sub? servience of the true politician. He votes with both parties, and seems in? clined to curry the favor of both. We suppose his idea is to lead the new party as its Presidential candidate. He would be a good type of the time-server, and is therefore the man above all others that this party should nominate. It is in tended to take the stragglers from both, and will therefore have the vices of each with the virtues of neither. Judge Davis is leading a forlorn hope, and the down? fall of his ambitions will be the political advancement of the country. We have more patience with Republicans than with time-serving Independents, whose principles consist of the absence of prin? ciples more than anything else. Washington gossip names ex-Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, as the forthcoming nominee of President Hayes for the English mission, made vacant by the resignation of Judge Pierrepont. Rumor says that President Hayes agreed to tender the position to whoever was unanimously recommended by the Penn? sylvania delegation in Congress, and that Simon, with his wonderful influence, se? cured the recommendation. We place very little reliance, however, in this an? nouncement, for President Hayes cannot consistently make such an appointment It is also said by some that Gen. Grant is to be offered the position, and that he will accept it Of the acceptance we have no doubt if the tender is made, but there is probably less foundation for this ru? mor than for the report about Simon Cameron. It is thought by those who have the best information that Wayne McVeigh, the son-in-law of Simon Cam ron, will be the lucky man. He was one of the visiting statesmen at New Orleans last spring, and rendered considerable service in promoting the dissolution of the Packard Legislature, but our readers know him best as the man who bandied words with old Ben Butler, and gave to the world the best pen portrait that has ever been issued of the old man, who dis? played such a weakness for other people's spoons while commanding the federal armies in Louisana duiing the war. Of the three aspirants McVeigh is by far the most suitable for the position, and when that is said the highest compliment that the case will admit of has been pro? nounced. The Republicans in Massachusetts seem to be wearied in the present politi? cal canvass, and the office holding por? tion of the party are paving the way to take the defeat which appears to be im? minent as gracefully as possible by hav? ing nothing to do with the canvass, and excusing their inactivity on the ground that the President's civil service order forbids them to have anything to do with politics. Attorney General Devens, however, realizes the situation, and en? deavors to stir them up in the cause of Republicanism by writing from Wash? ington : I learn with surprise and regret that any of the Republican officials hesitate either to speak or vote, alleging as a rea? son the President's recent civil service order. In distinct terms that order states that the right of officials to vote and ex? press their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. If such gentlemen chose not to vote, or not to express their views in support of the principle of the Republican party, either orauy or otherwise, they at least should not give a reason for snch a course which is not justified by the order re? ferred to, and which is simply a perver? sion of it This shows the danger which is felt by the administration as to the coming elec? tion in that State. The remarks of Gen? eral Devens above quoted may be prop * erly regarded as an intimation from the administration that it would be accepta? ble for the federal office-holders to take off their coats and go to work for the sal? vation of "the party." It is, however, not probable that the remedy attempted to be applied is equal to the end desired to be accomplished, for while the office? holders are apathetic the people are an? tagonistic to the party which has so long been guilty of frand, tyranny and cor? ruption. Seeing this is no doubt the real cause of the apathy displayed by the fed? eral officials. They realize the fact that the party is dead, and prefer to risk tak? ing care of their own heads for future chances rather than sacrifice their pros? pects by services for a dying political or? ganization, which has long since deserv? ed the obloquy that is now overwhelm ing it._ _ _ ? Our community was shocked to learn on Sunday morning that Col. Win? chester Graham, chief clerk in the office of Comptroller General Hagood, had met with an unfortunate accident on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road, which resulted in his death in a few hours. It appears that Col. Graham left the city on the accommodation train Saturday morning, for the purpose of visiting his home in the vicinity of Au? gusta, and when near the latter place, he attempted to get off the cars while the train was in motion. Tho train was run? ning at a slow speed, and had passed the usual place for Col. Graham to get oil". He arose from bis seat and went to the rear of the car, on the platform of which a negro was standing, whose statement is that the deceased walked off the platform, as if be was going i c to another car, and this creates the impression that he had been asleep and imagined he was on the regular passenger train. Of conrse, the concussion was sudden as he feil to the gronnd, and the wounds received indi? cate that his head struck the iron mil which produced his death. The accident occurred about 11 o'clock on Saturday night and Col. Graham survived until 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, but we nave not learned that he was at all conscious during the interval. The conductor of the train, Mr. McKenzie, was not ape prised of the intention of Col. Graham to leave the train, and had no intimation of his desire for the train to stop.?Columbia Register. The Northern Republicans, with that philanthropy which makes them want to attend to other people's business before they know how to look after their owhj seem to be taking a Very lively interest in tbe colored congressman Robert Smalls who (b indicted in our State courts for bribery and corruption in office. They allege that he cannot obtain a fair trial in our State courts and therefore desire the case transferred to the Federal Courts. With a view of securing this transfer the subject was referred to President Hayes, who requested the Attorney General to look into the evidence and give his opin? ion about tbe case. General Devons has examined the testimony, and reports that it seems to be conclusive and there? fore advises against any effort being made to transfer the case. This gives Smalls case a black eye before the nation and will take away much of the sympa? thy it was intended to arouse for him. Tbe claim that he cannot get justice in our State courts is as ridiculous and it is malicious for the Judge, Townsend, who is to try the case, has been twice elected to the position he now holds by a Repub? lican Legislature, the Sheriff and Clerk of Court in Richland, are Republicans and tbe juries to try these cases have on them nineteen colored men aud seven? teen white men of whom twenty-one are Republicans ami fifteen Democrats. If there are any odds on tbe case they are certainly in favor of Smalls. There is another view of this matter which is that the talk about transfer is only one of those infamous and contemptible insults and slanders upon our people for which tbe Northern Republicans have such a relish, and by which they have lived so long and prospered so greatly. The ad? vocates of this transfer know that there is no law for it and that it cannot be ef? fected, but they embrace it as another op? portunity to fan the dying embers of sectional hate. The poor creatures have become so accustomed to political slander and lying that it is impossible for them to do tbe South justice, or tell the truth when speaking about us. It is fortunate for the Republic that a political change has been at last effected, and that an era of good feeling is returning. These old political hacks have given tbe country enough trouble for all parties to rejoice at their forced retirement from public positions. Don Piatt on Sawyer's Case. Washington, D. C, Oct 22,1877.? One of tbe most striking illustrations of the loose, irregular and clumsy man? ner of treating claims against the govern? ment of the United States is to be found in the prosecution of Sawyer, Brooks et al. for conspiracy to rob through a fraud? ulent claim. This has resulted in a ver? dict of guilty against three of the defen? dants. The most noted of these is the Hon. Frederick Sawyer, late Senator of the United States from South Carolina, and yet later Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. One knowing Sawyer cannot help but feel sorry for his fall. He was, it is true, a carpet-bagger, but unlike that class generally, he is a man of education, of fair ability and singularly amiable and refined in his manner. I knew him quite Ultimately, and cannot now bring myself to believe that he is guilty as charged. Tbe only testimony, and it is not evidence, proves only that he was in bad company. But so were Grant, Rich? ardson and fifty other eminent officials in the same crowd. It was proven that as Assistant Secretary he took the claim while being investigated from an officer known to be hostile and gave it to an? other known to favor it. And this is done every day. It is the duty of each Auditor, Comptroller and Solicitor to pronounce every claim a fraud, or with? out legal foundation, and find facts and law to sustain the assertion. When the Secretary believes, or has reason to be? lieve, that the claim bas some foundation or equity, he selects a subordinate who at least will make an effort to consider both sides. It was not proven beyond this that Sawyer had any hand in the conspiracy. Nor could it be proven that one cent of the money found its way to Sawyer's pocket. What bothers me is to know how an official engaged in the discharge of his official duty can be indicted and convict? ed without the slightest approach to proof of a corrupt motive. I am moved to write this from a kind? ly remembrance of tbe fallen man in his better day. He was in the Senate, so far as appearances went, a peer of the list. Tall, erect, he had a handsome face, ex? pressing not only a genial, amiable na? ture, but some thought had much force j of character. He passed from the Sen? ate, when bis term ended, to the Treasu? ry, where he held, as I have said, the position of Assistant Secretary. I saw from time to time his decline. The wild life of Washington proved too much for him. He became addicted to wine, women and the card table, and as his means disappeared his appearance kept tally with his degradation. It is a sad study, and one too often afforded here to grieve us by a man who, under the influence of vice and vicious habits, sinks from position before the world to be below the world's contempt. "Get drunk among gentlemen," said tbe late Tom Corwin, "and you are safe." We live to know that refinement so enamels vice that it appears all respectable and half virtue. The trouble about Corwin's advice is that to get drunk among gen? tlemen one must have a good income. Gentlemen put up with a wealthy inebri? ate, but they scorn a poor, beggarly one. Poor Sawyer lost bis money?lost his Senatorial appearance, and, with these, all character. Before being put on trial for this offense he was found in a low gambling hell that was raided by the police, and people who were proud once to secure his recognition passed to the other side, or with averted looks, wben they met. His clothes got shabby, aud h is countenance that shone out of a rud? dy face grew to be downcast, as if be felt that he was moving about a protested note?a dishonored check on life. And so he is. The man who was the favored guest at the first tables?a distinguished Senator and a social pet?now looks at the world be abandoned through the bars of a prison, through which no sun? light comes to him, unless his accom? plished and affectionate daughter, who clings to her father in that pitiful sort of way that makes his criminal career so painful.?Cincinnati Etiquirer. Stanley Matthews in Tribulation. ?Stanley Matthews is in much tribula? tion over a publication in the New York Graphic charging that Stanley did vio? lence to the spirit of reform very sadly in his connection with the electoral com? mission. The charge, in brief, is that Matthews was invited to come on by Zacb. Chandler, under the express un? derstanding that the exchequer of the National Republican Committee was ex? hausted, ana would ba unable to pay the fee, although his own expenses would bo paid; that nevertheless Matthews came on with a family of four, put up at Wormley's, stayed until after the inaug? uration, rode, ate, drank, and was merry, and told Wormly to send his little bill of a trifle over $900 to Zach. Chandler, who swore a round oath and paid it out of his private purse. Matthews was too mad to do anything but call the correspondent who publish? ed the story a rascal and a liar. Finding that the correspondent is backed by a cloud of witnesses?including Zach. Chandler himself, bis son-in-law Hale. Biaine and others?Matthews has sobered off sufficiently to explain, and give his version of the affair. He says he didn't know who paid the bill, whether Chan? dler did privately or out of the party funds. Next, he asked Wormley for his bill, and Wormley told him that Gov? ernor McCormick, Secretary of the Na? tional Republican Committee, had left express orders that the bill should not be presented to Matthews. Again, after he reached home Wormley sent him a bill of $200 for the time Matthews was at the hotel, subsequent to the decision of the commission, stating that Chandler 'eclir.ed to pay that, and he (Matthews) arew a check lor it. Lastly, that Mc? Cormick afterwards returned that identi? cal check with a letter stating that it was all a mistake; that no part of the bill should have been sent to him. Governor McCormick bears oiit Matthews' state? ment. Washington News and (ios.sljh . WAsttiJibTOw, October 2(1. A grJJat d?al of Useless matter has been printed within the last few days concern? ing the action of the Pennsylvania dele? gation in connection with the English mission. Of the fact that tho delegation had tho best reason to believe their re? commendation on the subject was de? sired by the Secretary of State there is not the least doubt, despite the efforts to create a contrary impression. Neither is there any doubt that the Secretary of State was very much surprised to hear that Gen. Cameron had been agreed upon as a tit man. But this furnishes no rea? son for the assertion that the Pennsyl? vania Congressmen took too much upon themselves. An Intimate friend of Sen? ator Don Cameron states most positively that there is no warrant for the intima? tion that the Senator set the thing up. The best opinion, of course, is that it would be an improper appointment to send Simon Cameron to the Court of St. James, although he could not disgrace the country more than Schenck or make it more ridiculous than Pierrepont. If his nomination should be sent to the Senate, which is not likely, he would un? questionably be confirmed, on account of the very friendly personal feelings held toward him by the whole body of the Senate. Governor Hartranft, who was here yes? terday, made no attempt in his conversa? tion with the President and with others to conceal his opposition to Gen. Cam? eron's receiving the nomination. Gov? ernor Hartranft was one of the pets of the Cameron dynasty, but the bond of union between them has of late been much loosened. Hartranft is considered now as a representative of the military element in Republican politics in Penn? sylvania. He is young and ambitious, and has an idea that he is now big enough to work out his own political fortune without being patronized by the Came rons. It won Id not displease him should the English mission be placed at bis dis? posal, although he might not consider it to his interest at this time to accept. In consequence of the tangle into which this matter of the English mission has got, the question of who shall be appointed may not be settled until after the No? vember elections. In regard to the case of Mr. Eustis, one of the Louisiana contestants for a seat in the Senate, the defects in his cre? dentials which are relied upon by Re? publicans to defeat his claim for admis? sion are two. It is alleged, and on this point there is no denial, that his creden cials are not signed by the Governor who at the time was in undisputed possession. The second allegation is that in the joint convention which elected Mr. Eustis a minority of the Senate of Louisiana only was represented, the majority of the Senate continuing in session and trans? acting legislative business during the Eerioa the joint convention sat. It is eld that under the laws of Congress the joint convention to elect a United States Senator cannot be complete unless a ma? jority of each of the two Houses of the Legislature is in attendance. It is said that a former Democratic member of the Committee on Privileges and Elections expressed the opinion that this would be the fatal defect in Mr. Eustis' title whon his case came up before the Senate for ac? tion. It is understood also that several Democratic Senators havo within two or three days expressed similar views.

Cutting Out a Nekve to Cuke Neu? ralgia.?For several years Judge Bay, of St. Louis, has been a great sauerer from facial neuralgia, and to. avail him? self of any benefit that might possibly result from a change of climato spent most of 1873 in California and tho last part of 1874 in Colorado without any ma? terial benefit, and, on his return from Colorado, Dr. Hodgen cut out a little over one-half inch of the fifth facial nerve, and for seven or eight -i.onths the Judge experienced entire relit f from the disease, but at the expiration of that time it gradually returned upon him with in? creased severity, until life was almost unbearable. Dr. Hodgen became satis? fied that the separate parts of the nerve had united, and he determined to per? form a second operation, and, on the 7th instant, cut out two inches of the nerve and removed several collateral branches. The operation lasted fifteen minutes, was exceedingly painful, and though the Judge declined to take chlo? roform or any opiate he stood the knife without flinching. The Judge has had no return of the neuralgic pains, and all the indications are that the operation will prove eminently successful. ? The Treasury Department presents a bill of $f),000 to the people of the United States for expenses Incurred by the Lou? isiana Commission. This, remarks the New York Sitn, is tantamount in asking them to pay a premium of ?9,000 for the compounding of a felony by which they were deliberately robbed for the benefit of a lot of political rogues^ TAKE WARNING.
