AN AMERICAN IN THE WRITI
HOUSE.
American in His Aspirations and Sim
piicity-What It would have Been
with Blaine.
Editorial in the New York Herald.
The indifference shown by the coun
try to Senator Sherman's speech mns
be disheartening to those republicani
who feel that there can be no assu
red prosperity without a return o
the republican party to power. Sen
ator Sherman is believed to be a se
rious person. There is nothing
about him of that corruscating un
certainty which is apt to astonish u,
when we listen to Mr. Blaine. Hi
is supposed to mean what he says, o:
at least to impress mankind with thi
conviction that he does, which in poli
tics is the same thing. To hear i
voice of thunder in the North afte:
these cooing notes of harmony ani
conciliation in the Sonth is wha
might be expected from many Repub
licans-from Hawley or Ingalls, of
even Evarts. To have this fron
Sherman, however, shows the insin
cenity of the cause, and not the weak
ness of his intellect or the poverty o
his resources. No man knows bette:
the folly of what he has been sayinr
than this same cool headed Sherman
Never, even when at its best, rep
resenting the general American sen
timent, the Republican party ha.
come to live upon a policy of plui.dei
and demagogism. Its later measuref
for national development are simpl3
so many chapters in the bisuory o:
corruption, and if our readers care tc
enter upon the details of Republicar
rule, for several years at least, the3
will beefound in reports of Congres
sional committees of investigation
impeachment processes and crimina
proceedings at law for ualfeasanc(
in office. The Treasury was robbec
in the holy name of emancipation
Governments of ignorance and ruf
fianism were imposed upon the Soutt
in the sacred cause of the Union, and
if Mr. Blaine had remained in the
control of our foreign affairs v:
should have had one South Americar
war and perhaps another war witl
So badly: were our finan,
aed that nothing but unpre
nted material;prosperity kept a.
from bankruptcy. The property fell
under the control of the mercenary
claases that follow all parties. It
time these classes came to command
it, under Mr. Blaine, thei,most bril
liant leader known in American poli
iics since Aaron Burr. The wisdom
the prudence, the patriotism, the
*piety of the party gradually left it
and the Jacobins took control-a con
trol that is unquestioned to-day. The
French Revolution passed from Ro
land and Lafayette into the hands o~
Robespierre and Fouquier-Tinville
The Republican party has passed
from Lincoln and Chase to Dorse3
and Jay Gould. In this history re
peated itself, but it likewise repeated
itself by the country, inithe electior
of Mr. Cleveland, overthrowing a
domination of brigands as irretrieva
bly as F'rance overthrew the knaves
and madmen of the mountain.
This is the way in which the Re
publicans were removed from power
When we are asked why they shoult
-be restored, the answer is that every
thing is to be lost, nothing gained
The country is now governed by a
national party. For twenty-fivi
years it was impossible for the Pres
ident to find a gentleman south o:
Mason and Dixon's line to hold of
fice. As a consequeuce, in great de
partmnents of the government-in thi
Supreme Court, diplomacy, the arm'
and the navy-departments wher
personal character even more thai
intellectual eminence is demanded,
large part of the Union has for twenty
five years had no representation
The causes of this were unfortunat'
and not always attributable to thi
-Republican Presidents, who woul<
gladly have had it otherwise. The:
were causes all the same, which hap
pily no longer exist. Our finance
were never on a surer foundatio:
than now. All the meritoriou
arhievements of the war have bee:
gonsecrated by the accptance ofever;
--elass axdd condition of' man. Ther
has been a manmfest advance toward
a self-respectinlg civil service-if no
the whole cherry of civil service re
form, as we could have wished,
large part of the cherry. We hay
no wars, no rumors of war; and w
jare not troubling over, any renewe
war debt, or raising money to pay o:
.gome indemnity to Great Britain, a
might have been the case had Mi
Blaine's audacious intellect governe'
our diplomacy. As a nation it mnigh
-be said of us that we are blessed i
our basket and our store.
The con atry throbs with busines
animation, the hum of varied inda
tre echoe over historical vadley
which not many years ago re echoed
with the clang of contending cannon.
We have, moreover, an American at
the head of the American people, an
American in his aspirations, his sim
plicity, his stubbornness, his want of
pretence; American in what he knows
as well as what he does not know;
who believes absolutely in the Ameri
can nation, and does not care much
about any other; American in his
r weakness as well as his strength,
with the people and of them, no bet
" ter and no worse-the embodiment
of their common sense.
Why should we change? France
had her time of stress and storm-an r
upheaval of classes, civil war, dynas
ties overthrown, the guillotine en
enthroned, invasion, bankruptcy,
chaos. In her agony she swept from e
one faction to another until, in sheer
exhaustion from terror, weakness and
despair, she fell from the blood (
stained hands of the Jacobin into the
blood stained hands of the Bona
partes-from the assassin with the ,
knife to the assassin with .the
sword. She had her opportunity t
when under the beneficent sway of I
the Gironde, her councils ruled by e
the austere wisdom of Roland and
the chaste eloquence of Vergniaud, (
of winning that liberty with peace (
and honor which was not to come for (
generations, even if it has come to
day. France threw her supreme op.
portunity away before the sinister c
temptation of Jacobinism. (
The United States, under the Pres
idency of Cleveland, is in the po
sition France would have maintained
if she had accepted the Girondists. t
The lesson of that refusal is too ter. (
rible for us not to profit by the ex.
ample.
Blackwood Convicted and Sentenced.
AUGUSTA, GA., June 22.-The case
of F. A. Blackwood, the noted Caro
lina forger, has at last been disposed 1
of and he will serve nine years in t
Dade coal mines or at some other (
place where convict labor is worked t
in Georgia. i
The court room was crowded with
spectators when the.case was called
this morning. At the opening of the C
court Judge Roney appointed Mr. F. t
W. Capers to represent the prisoner. t
Solicitor-General Boykin Wright rep- t
reseuted the State. Blackwood, upon t
being arraigned, plead guilty upon
three indictments. The checks weret
forged upon Mr. T, P. Branch, and
cashed by Mrs. Eliza Fogarty, to the
amount of $70. He also procured I
$60 from J. P. McNally. The third
offence was for trying to purchase c
$95 worth of jewelry from Mr. A. J.
Renkl,on a forged check, which was
discovered before Blackwood could C
carry the goods off.
After the plea of guilty was made, ~
Mr. Capers made a short and touch.
ing speech, asking for mercy at the ~
hands of the court, and eliciting much I
sympathy f->r the prisoner.
After Mr. Capers concluded the I
judge commanded Blackwood to '
stand up, and his sentence was de
liver.d. The jud'ge said that theC
punishment for each offense was
from two to ten years in the peniteu- 3
itentiary. He did not give him the
full extent prescribed, but for each
offense he sentenced Blackwood to the t
penitentiary for three years, making
his term at hard labor nine years.
Thus~ended without trial, and in a
few minutes, the celebrated inter
state issue and the cases against the
forger, F. A. Blackwood.

L- END OF A DESPERATE CAREER.
The Logan and Tolliver Parties of
Rowan County, Ky., Fight it out on
the Streets-Craig Tolliver Killed.
r LEXINGTON, .KY., June ~22.-In
formation bas been received by the
Transcript of another battle in Row
an County, which occurred this morn
n ing at 9 o'clock. In this fight Craig
Tolliver, the desperado who lorded it
over that section, was killed. It is
t said that a large party of men, osten
e sibly led by Dr. Logan, whose two
sons were murdered in cold blood by
the 'olliver men about two weeks
ago, and who was in jail in this city
at the time of the tragedy, had organ.
ized a band of regulators for the
purpose of ridding the county of the
desperadoes.
The rumors of this band being in
the neighborhood of Morehead have
r been frequent. This morning, a lit
tie Wafter nine o'clock, the regulators
belugconcealed in close proximity to
Morelead, opened fire on Tolliver
e andj dome of his gang who were on
the 'streets. Tolliver was killed in
the - engagement, and the fight as
sumed a bushwhacking character,
t men biding behind houses and trees
and shooting at any one that could
be seen.
t Reports differ as to the number
killed; one placing the number at
five, including Tolliver, and another
stating that Craig Tolliver, two of
his brothers and thirteen others had
been killed. There is great con
fusion in the telegraphic reports
coming, and accurate news is out of
the question.
CRAIG TOLLIVER.
Craig Tolliver was about fifty-five
years old and has been a desperate
character for thirty years. He re
velled in bloodsded. In 1884, at the
August election, the Martin-Tolliver
feud was started, and since that time
more than a dozen men have been
killed in encounters between these
factions. At the first breaking out
of the feud John Martin killed Bill
Tolliver, a brother of Craig, in a fight.
Martin was placed in the Flemings.
burg jail, from which he was taken
by Bill Bowling and others on a
forged writ of habeas corpus, and
shot dead while on the cars en route
to Morehead. The warfare I - been
carried on openly or in the . ,oush
ever since that time. Two years
tago martial law was proclaimed in
Rowan Ce nty, but as soon as the
troops left the old troubles were re
newed. Tolliver pretended that he
e intended to reform, and some people
Lwere foolish enough to believe his pro
fessions. They elected him to a judge

old enemies. His first official act re
Ssuited in the death of the tw< Logan

Peculiar Customs of Johanna.
From the Boston Journal.
The Island of Johanns, Comoro
Islands, has some very peculiar cus
toms. The natives are jet-black, but
neat and clean. The girls after mar
riage are not allowed out on the
streets at all and can see no one but
their husbands. Rich men are allowed
four wives, poor men one. When a
poor man gets poorer he can sell a
half-share in his wife for so much
money. regulated by law. A native
belle, before her marriage, makes a
fine display on the fashionable streets
of Johanna in this rig-a red-calico
Mother HIbbard gown, printed with
a pattern of banana leaves, reaching
to her knees-no shoes or stockings
-and for headgear, a wide-rimmed,
blue china teacup, worn with the
handle on one si<e for convenience of
taking off. Friends of the temperance
cause might find a realization of their
fondest hopes and dreams in Johanna,
one of the Comoro Islands. The
vice of drunkenness is wholly un
known there. In all Johanna no one
but the consul is allowed to have.
any alcoholic liquors. Any one else,
no matter who, found with any in his
possession, is immediately, with all
his family and all his relatives,
thrown into jail and his house burnt,
to the ground. And this is an island
where there is not a single mission
ary, and the inhabitants are all
Mohammedans.
Two Pictures of the War.

While the politicians were raisingI
a sulphurousracket over the Confed
erate battle flags, the boys who did
the fighting on both sides were hay-1
ing a good time in Boston. As the
Richmond veterans were marching

"Hello, Johnny, got any tobacco you
want to swap for coffee ?" and every
time the answer came back: "All
right, yank, pass over the coffee !"
And then. everybody laughed and

A Gallant Man.
From the Manchester Times.
An old war veteran, who had been
through half a dozen campaigns and
was not very particular about what
he ate, was invited out to a swell
dinner party. He sat almost oppo
site the hostess and was painfully
conscious that every move lie made
could be observed by her. Sudden
ly, at the height of the festivities,
the veteran came across a catterpil
lar in his salad. A furtive iglance at
the hostess disclosed the fact that
she, too, had discovered the embar
rassing circumstance. It was a crit
ical moment, but the old soldier was
equal ~to the occasion. Without
changing a muscle he gathered up
the catterpillar with a forkful of
salad and swallowed both. The look
of gratitude which he received from
rhi ' hostess a few minutes later
armed the very cockies of his heart.
In due time the story leaked out,
-and when somebody asked the
-old campaigner how he liked
catterpilar salad, the reply came

NEW YoRr, June 19.-Prof. E. M.
7 orth, nephew of General Worth,
iys that the head of Charles J.
uiteau, the assassin of President
arfield, which was always supposed
> have been buried under the floor
f his prison in Washington, is in
is city. There is nothing repulsive
i the sight. Guiteau's face bears
o marks of suffering, and simply
loks as though he were asleep. The
ead will probably be exhibited soon
[ther in this city or at Coney Island.
'he manner in which it came into the
ands of the present possessor is re
iarkable, and will probably prove a
relation to the government offieials
t Washington.
Before Guiteau's execution the
ids for ownership of the coming ca
aver were occasionally flattering to
ue assassin's vanity; but after his
relings changed to one of horror that
is body was to be hawked around
r dissected, and he made every pro
ision to defeat any such plans. He
nally ordered his remnains to be
laced at the disposition of Rev. Dr.
[icks, as he feared to trust even his
wn relatives. Dr. Hicks did all that
e possibly could, but in spite of his
Torts the body was dissected and
ruiteau's bones are now on exhibi
on in the Army Medical Museum
t Washington, while his head is in
ossession of Professor Worth.

ound the head floating in alcohol,
ontained in a glass jar, in the cellar
f one of the finest residences of
Vashington. It was in a perfect
tate, except that the nose was slight
y flattened. The circular jar also
nagnified the head and distorted the
etures. An effort was therefore
nade to have a square jar made, large
nough to hold the head. Molds

nanufacturers attempted to make the
ar, but without success. In every

Greenville's New Cotton lm
Special to Atlanta Conatitudion.;
GREEN LE, S. C., June 22.-For
several days there has been consid-'
erable interest here over the prospect
of a new cotton mill. Capitalists in
Boston, deeming this the best location
in the Piedmont belt for a mill, have
been negotiating with Colonel H. P
Eammett, the president of the Pied
mont mills at Piedmont .and the
Camperdown cotton mills here, with
the view of obtaining his consent to
manage the new mill. Colonel Ham- =
mett, after consulting with severatin
fluential friends here, has given
consent to act as desired, and the"'
mill is now an assured fact. It witl
be built just outside the city limits,;
near the fair grounds, alongside the
track of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company. A half million
dollars will be invested, one hundred
thousand of which will be contributed
by local stockholders, and the balance'
will come from Boston and other
Northern cities. The mill will oper
ate about twenty-five thousaud spin
dles and about six hundred looms
It will manufacture plain cloth, and
is expected to give employment to
about six hundred hands. Coloni
Hammett thinks that in a short ,,"'
after beginning operations he
have a town of some fifteen hundred
inhabitants. It is the purpose of the
company to retain all its land for the"
convenience of its operatives, giving;Y
to each tenement a good garden plot
No store will be erected on the la
of the company, and most of
trade, therefore, from the mill peop1es
will come to the city merchants.

The Greenville Cotton Fire.
Special to News and Courier.
GREENVILLE, June 22-In the hurry
and excitement: prevailing at mid
night when the dispatch to the News
and Courier was forwarded the mill
offcials made an error in estimating
700 bales as the contents of the ware- :z
house. The building really contained
1,084 bales, on which there was
$45000 insurance, all in New En
gland factory mutual companies. The
house was insured for $10,000, which -
fully covers the loss. In spite of
the complete sweeping away of the
season's supply Col. Hammuett says
e will be ready to start up again in
two or three days, having secured by
telegraph to-day a lot of 450 balesk
Atlanta. The purchase was made at.a
aivantageons price, and isispecially
fortunate as itiremoves the necessity
for a long shut-down. A very small
part of the damaged cotton willb
