WASHINGTON LETTEB. WASHINGTON, D. C., May ll, 1888. Secretary Bayard bas endeared him? self to every patriotic Americao citizen ' by bis manly and courageous instruc? tions to Mr. McLane, oar Minister to France, in the cases of several natural- i ixed American citizens who have been ? arrested and compelled to do military j duty in France. When their relea>e was demanded by our Minister, the j French Minister replied in each case i tha* the question of allegiance was one j over which the administration had no j jurisdiction and must be settled by the j coutts. lt was folly set forth that under j French principles citizenship is confer- j red by parentage and not by the place of ! hirth, and that expatriation of the ! French citizen requires the consent of | the French Government. Upon these j JKMQtS Mr. Bayard has instructed Min i ?ter McLane to inform the French j Government that the Government oft the United States holds that the certifi? cate of naturalization granted by it to a French citizen is not open to impeach? ment by the French Government, either in its executive or its judicial branch. - In plain English we propose to see that Americao citizens are allowed to travel unmolested wherever they desire to go. Bat to return to Mr. Bayard's iostruc- j lions. He says in conclusion : 'You i Will further say that if subjections to j forced military service of the citizens j whose cases you report is based upon an assumption that they are not citizens of I fte United States, this Department asks for their immediate release and for a proper compensation for the losses which they have received from such detention. Iteaanot be admitted that American ^eJ?gijft*not charged with any crime should be.dutained nuder arrest for even ! a single day after their proofs of citizen? ship, have been presented. In cases like this, the United States can never admit the propriety of submitting to the ordinary delays of judicial action.' That's the kind of talk to make the United States flag respected tbe world over. Senators Edmunds and E var ts, the two leading Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to which the nomination of Mr. Fuller for Chief Justice has been referred, are charged with having .conspired together for the purpose of delaying a report upon the nomination until after the presidential election, and should a republican by accident be elected, to delay it until after his inauguration, that he may nominate a republican for Chief Justice. I don't believe this charge, not that the Senators named would object to carry? ing out such a plan were it feasible, but because they are entirely too shrewd to attempt anything which they know it is impossible to accomplish, and this would certainly be impossible. If I were disposed to wager on this subject, I should have no hesitation whatever in laying odds'tbat Mr. Fuller would be confirmed inside of three weeks, and unless something more serious than any? thing yet brought against him should be unearthed, his confirmation is likely to be unanimous. Another good republican office holder has gone wrong. His accounts are short something like $10,000. His name is Gen. Jas. W. Ewing, and he was appointment and disbursing clerk of the Deptrtment of Justice. He was appointed as a republican some six or eight years ago, from West Virginia. lt is said that the defalcations began in 1882 and have continued right along nntil they amount* to the above sum. The Government will lose nothing as he was under bond. He has been dis? missed, and Frank 0. Branigan, of Steubensville, Ohio, a good democrat, appointed ia his place. Had this been done in the early days oT the adminis? tration, Ewing's bondsmen would not have had so much to pay. Th? Senate has passed the bill for? feiting all unearned railroad land grants. The lipase Committee on appropria? tions has reported a bill appropriating $3,500,000 to meet deficiencies in the appropriation for the payment of Army Pensions during the remainder of the present fiscal year. Senator Yoorhees, who was confined to bis room with a carbuncle on bis leg for nearly a week after his recent speech, on Tuesday apologized to the Senate for the language he used in re? plying to Ingall charges. The river and harbor bill has been passed by the House by a more than two-thirds majority. It appropriates $20,000,000. - The caucas of the democratic mem? bers of the House held on Wednesday evening did not discuss the proposed amendments to the Milla tariff bill, as it was generally supposed it would, but passed a resolution that all amendments proposed to be offered by democrats should be first submitted to the com? mittee on Ways and Means, to be con - sidered and reported upon to another caucus to be held next week. This resolution was unanimously agreed to, but Mr. Randall gave notice that he did not propose to be bound by any caucus action. A large number of amendments have already been sub? mitted to thc Ways and Means commit? tee. "NEWSPAPER LAW. A Postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning a paper does not answer the law) when a subcriber does not take bi3 pape: from the office, and state the reason for its not being taken, and a neglect to do so makes tbe postmaster responsible to The publisher for the payment. Any persoa who takes a paper from the postoffice, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not is responsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper dicontinued, he mast pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it nntil the payment is made? and collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the office or not. Titre eau be no legal discontinuance until the payment is made. If the subscriber orders his paper to be stop? ped at a certain time, and the publisher con? tinues to send it, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out o? the office. Tbe law proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what be uses. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the postoffice is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. Spring Hill Items. 77*e Crops- Whit the Repirfdica?s are dc^.ng School Commissioner Wilder culled to account -Measles- Candidates- New Pi O. j PISGAH, S. C., May 10, 1888. J/r. Editor: Cotton chopping is now the order of the day and cufle is in demand. The dry spell we have had is now broken with some gentle showers which will bring up all the cotton. Corn is small fur time of year. Oats stunted from dry weather. Our people seem to oe fu??j- alive to the demands made on them by their crops for attention, and "pro? tection f:om their common enemy "grass." Weare ':free traders" and I don't see bow we can be free traders and give protection at the same time. However, I ?jope President Cleveland will not issue an order against us for "perniciousactivity," in farra work. The Republicans are wide awake in this section. Their leaders are distributing to them by the wholesale.^circulars, urging them to register a:>d to lie low, in order to foo! the . whites, like Logan did in electing a member of the Illinois Legislature in a strong Demo? cratic country;, which secured his election, j it seems that our people should be more con- I cerned a>out the momentous issues that hang j over their liberties and turn out occasionally, ' once in two jesrs, to their club meetings. From what I can pi?k out of the R ids, the j fight ia this State will be to carry it fur the Republican Presidential nominee and a few j Congressional districts. The repeal of the law in t'tis State to net i help the poor, except at the poor house, was^t ; most unwise measure. Hundreds o* p?.t)r but ? worthy people in the State stand ia t.sed of a j little aid which would euable them io live . without suffering among their friends, und j those who can best nurse ihtm. To causo them to go to the poor bouse would entail j greater expense to the State than io aid them j at home. No doubt the State has been im- . posed upon by unworthy people lo some ex- \ tent, but this could very easily be avoided, j by the County Commissioners requiring all j applicants to bring certificates from tax-pay- ? ers where they live that they are worthy of '. aid, before granting any. The State's money had better be spent upon i its deserving poor than some of the objects it I is wasted upon, lt ii a pity we can not gee a legislature in keeping with the 19th century, j Tbe public school system in this Stale is in j a very unsatisfactory condition. At the ex-j aminations a great many people of good prac- ! tical education, amply sufficient to leash 1 in the public schools, fail to "pass," simply because they can't answer certain words, &c, that are gotten Bp as "catches," and are not worth the paper they are written on, so far as practical knowledge is concerned. Then the teachers are not paid all alike. For in? stance, 1 am reliably informed that the teacher of the Pisgah school bas not received a dollar in cash from Spring Hill Township, while other teachers in the same Township have been paid. How is this? Can School Cora? urissioner Wilder explain this curious working of the school law in Spring Hill Township, where some teachers * are paid and others are not? Especially when the patrons of the Pisgah school are taxpayers, and pay their taxes without due process of law, and have had no school for two years until last winter. As Mr. Wilder is a servant of the people, and responsible to them for his official acts, we hope he will explain this matter fully which bas been commented upon and like Batiquo's ghost will not down, and may rise up in the campaign io huge proportions. A good deal of measles about in the neigh? borhood . The candidate is abroad in the land. He is so pleasant to talk to. A new P. 0. has been established near Pis? gah Church named "Pisgah." Mr. J. A. McLeod, Postmaster. Qui VIVE -*-gtf?- -.I""""?-"" {From the Manning Times "J Dr. John Isaac Ingram. Dr. John I. Ingram died suddenly of heart disease, at the residence of his son, S. E. Ingram, in the fork of Black River, on Mon? day last. Dr. Ingram was present at the county convention last Saturday, and pre? sided over its deliberations, yet he was some? what indisposed throughout the day. He grew worse that night, bnt was better Sun? day. He believed that death was near at band, and spoke of it to some persons, but said nothing about it to his family for fear of alarming them. He went out Sunday morn? ing to the poor house, and also made another professional call, but on account of his fears of dea1 h from heart disease or from apoplexy, he got a gentleman to accompany him on both trip3. Hearing in the afternoon that one of Mr. S. E. Ingram's children was sick he repaired immediately to its bedside, and soon relieved tbe child, but grew worse him? self; not so much, however, as to arouse serious apprehension. He was a little restless through the night, but better the following morning. About midday he began to realize that death was approaching, and expressed a desire to return home, saying be felt certain the end was near. His horse and boggy was ready for him to come to Manning, but before starting he went out in the yard for some purpose, and was walking around the house, when tbe stroke of death came on. It is thought he quietly lay down, and died in? stantly. . John Isaac Ingrats W?s b?fn lo Darlington County July ?, 1820, graduated* at the Phila? delphia Medical College ju 1841; and soon after located in that part cf Sumter District which is now Clarendon County, with bia office at Brewington. Fot forty years he has been'one of the most prominent men in bis section, and has represented his county in both branches of the Legislature, besides fill? ing other important positions. At the time of bis death be was a member of the Board of Regents of the Stale Asylum. He married Miss Eiizebeth J. Conyers of Clarendon in 1841, who, with nine of eleven children survives him. Dr. Ingram was a man of . decided character and of wonderful power and influence, being probably, all things considered, the greatest man Clarendon has ever produced. He participated as a leader in the hottest political contests the county has ever had, and even among his bitterest enemies there is not one who can point to a dark spot in his record. As a mortal he had bis faults, yet by his force of character be commanded the high respect of ; his foes, and won the deep-rooted love of his friends. Dr. Ingram's death wes a shock to the entire community, and a deep gloom pervades every heart. He will be greatly missed not only in his family and the town, but.through? out the county aod in'the State. Dr. Ingram had for maDy years beena con? sistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and at the last communion participated in the service. Rev. James McDowell assisted by Rev. H. M. Mood conducted the funeral ser? vice yesterday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church. Never before in the history of Man? ning was such a large crowd at a funeral. The eulogies pronounced by both Mr. Mood and Mr. McDowell were touching, ?beautiful, and meritorious. His body was interred io the Manning cemetery. During the funeral service every business house in the place was closed. - f ??--??? To do good-permanent good, advertising should be kept up day after day ; month after month ; year in, jear out.

How Old Boats Are blended. In making a vessel water tight a great deal is left to oakum, but cracks such as would be left by using too small a piece of lumber, never. The oakum must be forced in tightly to be of service. Tho old timbers replaced by new ones, the caulking process then begins. This is where the oakum is used. First opening the seams between the planks and beams with a heavy steel tool, tho workman next takes a long string of oakum, and with a similar tool moves along, driving in the oakum with a heavy live oak mallet until he has reached the end. Then he starts over again, and putting on a little more strength drives the oakum in until it is completely hidden. Where apparently there was not room for a thread there is a sixteenth of an inch of packed oakum, a guarantee against leaking. This is covered with white lead on the outside. Calking old boats, the steel instruments drive out the old packing in long strings, and by tho time the new oakum has been pushed in fully the inside of the hold resembles the under side of a lathed floor spread above with hair plaster, just thin enough tc drive through and thick enough to hang, -Globe Democrat.
