t I i \ 1 l \ M> AM) UKLK.ION. Ornttftetl i?y tlu Prnyers or the Pious, mu Elating Everything Like Hypocrisy. ( Washington Latter to Pittsburg Leader.) "A very lingo per rent, ol' I ho peo ple throughout tho country seem to be bent on evangelizing President Cleve land," observed ono ol tho Chief Ex ecutive's most intimate friends to-day. "Mi. Cleveland was telling me the other day thal he sometimes thought lhere was an impression lu the minds of too many '..omi folks that he pro sent ?da tine opportunity for thc mis sionaries. 1 asked him why he thought so and he laughingly replied: 'Oh, if tho ttdvleo give.e was concen trated on Africa, it would civilize and Christianize that whole wild and wicked and dark country.' I had lu laugh, for lhere was HO much serious, ness and yoi th y humor in it all. Cleveland realizes, as he is reminded so often and so forcibly, that in a cer tain way he sets au example to the world, but it worries him a little, I can sec, to be told by hundreds of peo ple, sometimes in one week, thal he ought to lei bis light so shine, etc. ile beuevo* that these people must tl ink bc is very wicked, or else that bois Hie guardian ?d' tilly million of people. Speaking of this point he said to mc: 'A President or king or other high and national officer should recognize the supreme power in every act committed. A man or woman should never gol RO exalted as to fail lodo this. Now, lew publie men have as little opportunity to disseminate personal views as I have. If I were cv? r so anxious to make people bulievo 1 was thc embodi ment ol' goodness it would bc up-hill work to create that impression, for a President cannot cry his wares from the housetops. If ibis advice about being a Christian and all thal, coming in every form and from every direc tion, is for my own guidance, very well, lt ii is to chango thc general course of my public career, it is ?ll given. One thin,: I am bound shall never bc inaile -the charge that 1 was a hypocrite. I bk?: Christians; (hoy arc the stilt of tho carib. A hypocrite, lo my mind, is the basest ot .?inners.'" "The President must be a little an noyed by these importunities, is he not?" I asked. "Not in thu least. On thc contrary, lie i-, grail lied for thc interest shown in him, if it is respect fully shown. Ho doesn't scotti to com prehend the fad that all Presidents have had to withstand Ibis ordeal. The letters he receives arc not. thc only evidence given him of a desire that ho shall bc a moral until. You would be surprised how many Christian people breathe, tin audible prayer for him, llOWOVOI, when they grasp bis hand, and it. all has ti very perceptible effect upon Mr, Cleveland, for he said bc didn't think any man or woman willi souse and ti heart (amid fail to bo atfectod bj thc prayers of an earnest people, when he or sh?! knew they were so constantly delivered, 'lt is something like ?ove ?ti its physical effect,' said Mr. Cleveland one day. 'Now, if one is very earnestly anti sincerely loved that affection is sure, ?I kept up and demonstrated, to have ?ts way, unless thc suitor is absolutely offensive. Th?! more fact that so much confidence and affection is persistently bestowed will touch a heart of stone. So thc intens?; interest shown by so many in a luau's spiritual welfare must cventii.dly touch him, it bc thinks. And thc man or woman who cannot bc rcachcil by thc prayers of a nation is a strange being Indeed.'" "In his private life do you think the President observes any standard ol' Christian i ty ?" "Yes, ho does. In ?di my inter course with him I ?lo not remember to have heard him say anything im proper. Ile sometimes becomes very much perplexed, but bc doesn't swear about it. dr. Cleveland believes thal honor between man and man is thc foundation of Christianity; thal tildes* one tells the truth ami pays bis thies he can lay no claim lo morality." TIIK SEW VOUK SCANDAL. Wholesale Oribe ry of city Officers- SCiO,* ?too for Hu Alderman's Vote-Twenty Indictments Given out. The arrest of .Incline, a Nev? York alderman, on au indictment charging him with bribery in thc matter of the charter of the Broadway Surface Road, has lindan effect on tho politicians (airly comparable io an earthquake. In spector Byrnes claims to have wormed himself into Jaehne'8 confidence, Hitit he acknowledged having received $20, OOO for his vole on that measure, and told who besides himself were bribed, and who paid (bc money to them.

A Curious Mild interesting Incident lu tho 1'iuuUy History ot tho Hayards, Tho BUbjcot of proscnthuont concern ing death and fatality in families spoken of in Hancock's case recalls sonic sad points in thc Bayard history. Kew families have been more depleted by Budden death tliuii tho Hayards, und in many instances there have bocu lorowaruings and presentiments. It is said (hut Miss Bayard wrote a letter indicating her approaching death. There ure now in Washington many old naval officers who remember thc interesting circumstance attending tho death of Miss Bayard's cousin, (.Miarles C. Bayard, at Mount Vesuvius, ile was the favorite son of lliollHt'd Bay ard, of Philadelphia, whose father and Secretary Bayard's father were broth ers, lu 18t:>, while on board tho United Stales ship Congress, ill com pany with .several young friends, ho made thc ascent of Mount Vesuvius. lt was tho .same Congress that went down in Hampton Hoads before ibo Merrimac, and in lbw party was thc 6ame Joseph .Smith, who as command* er of the Congress had his head taken oil" by a cannon ball and of whom bis flt lld' said, when he heard that the Congress was taken: "Then doc is dead.*' In thc party also was Lehman lt. Ashmcad, of Philadelphia, with whom yennil Bavard afterwards went to Jerusalem to visit tho Holy Sepul chre. While there they both hail tat tooed on their amis hy an old draco nian thc heraldic anns of Jerusalem, with the dale of their visit. In Ibo case of young Bayard tho tattooed cross developed virulent features, fos tored ami fluidly he became sick and the arm became greatly .swollen, ile continually declared that he would die, and even alter it appeared to grow en tirely well he was io tia; Illicit of say ing to Mr. Ashmcad and other friends: "This arm w ill bc Ibo death of me yet.'' Ten years afterwards young I la ya I'd lett for a cruise in the Colum bia as flag licntoiiani of Commander Morns. Before leaving bc took a sad farewell of all bis friends here and and declared to one and all that ''they Would never sec bini again." Ile was very rejected and despondent. Ten years to a day from bis previous visit, in company with youngCarrollTuckor, of Marv hind, and a few friends, tho Columbia being then at Naples, he made the ascent ol* Vesuvius during an eruption. With him were Bear Admiral Simpson and Bear Admiral Calhoun, who were then lieutenants, ile had tho arm ot a Prussian army officer. Ho was quito gay. .lust near the Hermitage, where bc had halted len years before, thc party slopped, linding it would bo dangerous lo go nearer tho crater. As they were turn ing a mass of lava and rock strack young Bayard on thc arm whore lie had bren tattooed, cutting it fearfully and obliterating the cross, and before thc part}' could reach thc foot of thc volcano bodied. His mother is still living, upwards of ninety years of agc. His body is buried near tho foot of Vesuvius. A WHOLESALE LYNCHING. Thirteen .N'ojjro.'s Shot Down in a Missis sippi Courthouse. A special to thc Now Orleans Picay une* dated March 17 says: News ot a terrible tragedy enacted at Carrollton, an interior town twenty-four miles southwest of t'renada, was received there this evening. Fifty men rode into town and repaired io tho Court house, where thirteen negroes were awaiting their (rial. Thc whitcftnen walked into I he Courthouse and shot ten UOgrocs dead and and mortally wounded tho other three, Tho shooting grew out of the attempted assassina tion of .lames Liddell, a prominent citi/.eil, w iio was shot and seriously won niled by these negroes several weeks ago. CA 1M K l I.A KS OK THK SI.ALOHTKK. NEW OKI.KANS, March 18.-A special from Winona, Mississippi, to thc 'l illies- Democrat gives the particulars of tho circumstances leading to the tra yod y at Carrollton, Mississippi, yes terday and of tho tragedy itself. The trouble begun some months ugo in a slight altercation between a white mau named Moori! and a colored man named Brown. J. M. Liddell,a friend of Moore's, afterwards got Into a dif ficulty with Brown through reference to Brown's treatment of Mooro in W ll leo Liddell struck Brown with his (Lt, and was shot in thc elbow by Brown, and was fired al by several Other colored men. In the further course of this difficulty Liddell was shot a second^limo and two colored men were shot slightly. Following tins the negroes made affidavits agni list Liddell and others, charging them willi asaault with intent lo murder. These cases caine up yesterday for trial, ami were called at noon, when thc Courthouse was immediately lilied with negroes who stationed themselves ai onad and about the Brown brothers. Thc attorneys were proceeding with the case, when there suddenly appeared about one hundred while men nil well armed. Perceiving their entrance, Edward Brown drew bin pistol and fired in the direc tion of Liddell, who was between his attorneys. Thereupon the tiring be came general. Ten negroes were In stantly killed and two others have since died. Many escaped by jumping through widows a distance of at least, twenty feet fi om the ground. On most of thc dead bodies arms were found. The room was completely till ed with smoko. Tho .Midge's bench is on thc north side of Ibo room and thc bouches facing it aro towards the south. lt is a very large court room with win dows all around. On tho south side were counted 18/3 shot holes, in the wall ot the passage leading down stairs ten holes, and in the benches thirty shot boles. One shot struck tho northeast window sasli and glanced into tho wall. Five others show on tho north wall from the direction of thc benches. Large pools of blood wore on'tho floor of tho court room. The mob left as quickly and quietly as they came in. Two nrotiiiftr?. Murdered, A special from Salem, Boanokc county, Virginia, says: A horrible double murder was committed on Back ('reek, this county, Wednesday night. A man named Griffey, who has a wife living on Back ('reek, had just returned from Texas, where, it is alleged, ho served a term in tho peni tentiary. His wife refused to recog ni/.o Iiiin, and loaming that John and Pickett Metz, sons of William Metz, had been visiting Ids wife la his ab sonco, Oriffoy went to their home, called one of the young men out and shot him through thc heart. Ile then ontored tho house and shot the other young man through ibo right breast. The murdered young men were aged respectively about seventeen and Bighted) years. Griffey is at largo. WBODBO VNDEH DIFVIOVI*TUC8< A Texii? Ceremony Enlivened l>y tho Kle UlOUt of Danger. (Columbia, Tt.v. Dispatch to Chicago Timex.) Ait exciting and dramatic incident occurred here last. week. Sunday nun uing two men rode into town. Their i cimii kable appearance at once attracted thu attention ot' every one. Tbey were covered with mud and carried u perfect arsenal ol' rifles, pis tols and knives w Ith thom. One was a mau over IK', with long gray bair, and blood in bis eye; thc other was a man Ol'30 years, built like a giant and wearing a terrible scowl on his lace. They were lather and son, William Wo flo rd and Sam Wollert], from the backwoods ol' Matagorda county. The old man said bc was looking tor his .Marter Kate," who bad "lit out"' willi ber cousin, Hill Welford. The lather and son localed the runaway couple, who were occupying a small Usher? man's tent half a mile outside of the town. When old Welford found out the location of his erring "darter" a large crowd ol curious men and boys followed Uno tcrrib'e-looking pair to thc vicinity of thc tent, as the old man kept continually examining Iiis gun and saying: "Sam, I'm go'on to kill lum, suab !" AH they neared the tent the crowd fell hack, while the old man and his giant soi approached with rides in hand. Suddenly thc lian of thc tent was violently thrown open from thc inside ami there stood Hill and Kate, each holding a terrible Win chester rifle-one covering Ibu old mun, ami thc other thc son. Old gray head and Sam glared like two wild beasts on the brave lovers and Hill called out: "Do you s'poso I'm gone to give her up arter wc done tramped il together all the way from the Colorado to the Rrazes y Not much; she's minc, and you stan' thine now and ??ce us married." The old man and Sam, under cover of thc SUggCStlvo Winchesters, slowly moved back, all the lime lacing the boy Hill and his Kate, who had thc drop on them. Meantime a courier bad gone to town for a license and a preacher, and aller nearly two hours, during which time Hill and Kate never look their eyes oil' the old man anil Sam and threatening lo kill either should h.? raise a hand, the preacher and thc license arrived. During thc eeremonoy the bride groom kept bis rifle at a half-cock pointing toward his tathcr-iu-law. Thc preacher was so afraid they would opotl hostilities while bc was thoi'0 ho could scarcely finish the ceremony. After thc marriage thc old man deliv ered a terrible otll'SO Oil both said ho would sparc their lives now, provided they never sot foot in Matagorda county. "If you do," said bc, as ho shook his long, dirty yellow locks ami and violently struck his rifle with one band, "if you do, you're both on you dead soon as you cross the line, for when P, ni gone Sam ho's there. You've got tho world before you 'cent Mata gorda county. Now go!" With this philippic thc old man and son departed forlorn, while Hill pulled down tho flap of the tent. MI K UtSAltl.KD SOLDIERS.

(Cablegram tn tin Sew York I If reid.) The change in thc temper of parlies in the House toward home rule is due to a profound change in thc constitu ent (dement ol thc House of Couinions itself. The new Parliament is essen tially an assembly of working men, in thc souse that ?ts members attend seri ously lo their business. Thc Scotch, Welsh and English Democratic mein bcrs emulate by their constant and unremitting attention thc Irish mem bers, ?iud except for the hours neces sary for sleep they seem always pres ent. Hours before the House meets they aro in the library attending to correspondence. A tier 4, when tho business begins, they seem to be always on band until 2, ?l and even 1 o'clock in thc morning, when thu House ad journs. The old lime aristocratic dill' nor hours hare been abolished. "Counts out" aro things of the past. There ?6 no moro talking to empty honchos. At nil hours there is an audience for any one having nnything to suv worth listening to, and what is equally Im portant, au audience ready promptly to suppress bores. The Government hus lost its grip over mouthers. The word "ministers" ls no lowror a law. Ancient ctiquelte and precedent arc at a discount. Thc new men arc the masters, and they will not stand any nonsense. Tliey vote against thc min istry with refreshing independence. Already they have established a Par liamentary reign ol terror in a mild way. Ministers ure compelled tb he. consistent. They no longer dare lo follow the old tillie custom ot siieaking in office ugafiiHt tho reform? they ad vocated hi opoosltioii. The slightest indication of a di?|>osi(iou to do so immediately provokes ominous howls of dissent and dissatisfaction. Old time politicians aro in dismay.
