Redpatb, now in Ireland m corre- spondent of the Now Yoik Tribune, writes: "There is an impression in America which I shared that the agitation against the landed proprietor in Ireland is an agrarian movement.

Mr. Dudle E. Jones, ot Little Rock, is the inventor of the araraa that is now filling; the insane asylums of the coun try. A friend of his in New Yirk, writing to him about it, says: "I? has become a per- fect erase. Thousands of reddUrs are selling it in New York on the streets. Oa tue lower part of Broadway you will find a half daeo peddlers of it to every block. One tuanufac turing establishment is making tsvo thousand sets a day. Everybody is playing it on the cars, steamboats, and who ever jougr, tci entifio men are trying to omavel it. Gam' biers are betting on it; the schools atejjst crazy over it. You can't have any conception of the furor it is creating." Thb St. Louis Republican makes a good point Oa the two narrow-minde- d, sectional bigots who represent the old Day State in the senate. It appears that the Massachusetts legislature has passed and sent to Washing- ton resolutions requesting the senators and representative ot that Slate to vote for tbo bill to grant pensions to the soldiers of the Mexican war. The bill if it passes will, of course, include Jefferson Davis, who was a conspicuous soldier in that war; and it is re- marked that this is in curious contrast with the action of the two Massachusetts senators in opposing the bill in tho lat session because it ino'.uded JcflVrson Davis. It would seem that the Massachusetts legislature does not share Messrs. Dawes's and Hoar's hostility to the southern chieftain. The New York Mercury tells the story of a Force, whosa name seems to fit her like a glove. Sne is only thirty-eig- ht years of age, and is tho mother of twenty-tw- o children, the eldest of them, a girl, being now in her twentieth year, and ready to be- gin when her mother "leaves off." Mrs. Force i as she ouht to Us, proud of her achievement She said to tho reporter who interviewed her that she had "the consolation of knowing that if I have labored I have not labored in vain." "I often tell my husband," he also said, "that, thouch I do suffer a sreat deal with the little ones, I am deter mined not to give in until I reach tho q.iarter century, lie laughs at me, but do you know I'm quite young rnouh to bo able to do so'r"' Congress ought to vote Mrs. Force a pensioa and a medal. The Republicans in congress -- the so called statesmen are anxioui not eo much about the legation of tho country as how to briag about a bloody-shi- rt debate that will make capital for their party in tho coming Presidential canvass. They held a caucus the other day and resolved to make the case of General Fits. John Potter a partisan one, and order were issued that members of both houses were to vote Lhe continuance of a gross injustice to an officer whose courage, discre- tion and generalship have been formally at- tested by a military commission. It was also agreed to antagonise, on the bloody-shir- t basis, the bill introduced in the house by Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, repealing the eloctiou laws which the United States supreme court, in infamously party spirit, declared constitu- tional. The Republicans thus coulees that they have neither the ability cor the courage to circus great questions upon their merits. And this is called statesmanship. PRESIDENTIAL PARINGS.

The New York Sun says of Mr. Dorsbeimer that bis declarations ot prinoiple in the pres- ent political contest, announcing as they do his unalterable opposition to any man run-- n np fcra third term, are "timely and patri otic. "Who ought to be the Democratic cat didate," remarks tho Sun again, "we do Lot t.ndtrtake to say; but whoever hernay be, we hooe the sentiment expressed by Mr. Dor- - nhcimer may become the universal sentiment of tbo Democracy, and that Democratic suc- cess may thus be made certain." liOfan la Not a Dark florae.

New Hampshire Patriot: "Stephen D. llillave ia a regular correspondent of the Irish World lrom Uniontown, New Jersey, who writes the strongest kind of paper-mone- y doctrines, and it is he, undoubtedly, who has been nominated by the St. liouis txreen backers lor the Presidency.

Tobacco Leaf: "Un Questionably it ia to the interest of tbe Demo cratic party to nominate Samuel J . Tilden ami tbnrebv vindicate and enthrone the prin ctoles for which they contended in 1876, Tilrl-- n would be our first choice in the eon1 ventioo, and we have never had a doubt that he, if nominated, would carry the banner of the nartv forward to jrictory.

Constitutionalist: Judge II. D. D. Twiggs, who has just been on visit to the north and principally to Wash' ington City, the present center of interest, returned yesterday morning. A Chronicle representative talked with him during the day in reference to what he heard in the canital about the political situation. Reporter "What seemed to be the gen eral impression ia regard to the Republican . . t i :j j wua :.. .ua Candidate ior i rruiuouir n ub ib iuo muui est man in the Republican party?" "Itlaine. unauestionably.

He has a great many personal friends even among the Democrats of the senate and house." "What did you gather in regard to the Democratic candidate r 'Tne sentiment in reference to the Dem- - ocratic nominee is very unsettled among the leaders. I believe Mr. Bayard is the strong- est man and would win the race. He is very popular at the north, and a large number of Republicans will vote for him. A prominent Repubihan said to me: 'We are going to nominate Grant and we are going to beat you because you will blunder by nominating Tilden, or eome other unpopular man. Now, if you should nominate Bayard, it would b a close race and your chances would be ex- cellent. I believe he could carry New York, Connecticut and other doubtful States.' The same man said New York was to-da- y Demo- cratic by forty thousand majority. Of course the south will vote for whoever ia nominated, but much depends upon the vote of the south in the convention. I do not believe the finan- cial issue will enter at all into the next cam-paing- n. The Republicans will hoist the bloody shirt as their banner and make the most of it they can. I did think that issue was worn threadbare, but it is now certain that they are going to bring it forward stronger than ever and wave it throughout the campaign. They are already sending emissaries throughout the country and thoroughly organizing the party oa that issue." Jewett to be Bapperted by tbe Rail- roads. Ohio letter in the New York Herald: "But this may be or it may not be a recom- mendation for Mr. Jewett as a Presidential candidate. There are many Democrats who will say that it will not do to put up a man who is at the head of immense railway combinations as a candidate for President; that it would identity the party with the great monopolies. To this the an-sw- tir is readily made that tho Republicans have virtual control of tbe national banks of the country, with the addition of -- all the Federal office-holder- s, and that these united make a more powerful monopoly than the railroads could possibly become if they all anted.' A leading Democrat of this fctati said to your correspondent: 'It has got to come to this: We will have to call on the railroads to unite and help us to fight our battles with the bank?, or we wul never win battle. This aggregation ot capital, ready to obey the commands ot. the general government, ia a power we can never cope with unless we get an equally strong power on our side, ana the only thing we can depend npon is the rauroids. It is said that Congressman bpringer, ot Illi- nois, is for Jewett, and will make a deter- mined effort to vive him tbe vote of that State delegation after they have doae their duty by Governor Palmer, of that State, who is in the held, bfrincer was one ot iiiaen's chief advisers four years ago. It is also said Hen Isaac Eaton, ot Kansas, a member ot the National Democratic committee, will give Jewett the vote of their delegation from the outset. Eaton was formerly an Ohio man. and he is related by marriage to Jewett, and a great admirer ot him. A prominent eistern nemosrat said to meto-aay- : -- van- derbilt will give two hundred and htty thou- sand dollars, Colonel Tom Scott will giva one hundred thousand dollars and John W. Garrett another hundred thousand dollars to the Democratic campaign fund if Jewett should be nominated for President. Besides this Jewett himself is rich, and can easily give one hundred thousand dollars for the same purpose. That would make up a fund of five hundred and fifty thousand dollars from four men, fully as much as lilden spsnt in his campaign of four years ago.' This same gentleman said that Mr. Tilden himself looked with more favor on Mr. Jewett than on any other one whose name has been pre- sented, giving as a reason that he wouid never consent to any one having tbe nomina- tion who had anything to do with the electoral commission, and this cut out Thur- - man and Bayard; that he furthermore de spised Hendricks because he bad treated bim shabbily; that uancocK coma never get tne vote of New York, and as for P. rker and Palmes and Judge Davis they had no chance hatever. Ihw gentleman closed by saying: If it comes to a close fight, and Tilden finds he can't make it, he will turn all hu strength over lo Jewett in preference to any oth-- r man.' " sna Sherman Confident. Washington special to the Philadelphia Times: "Somo of the eastern sensational apers have published the statement that rcretarv Sherman contemplates withdraw ing as a candidate for the Presidency in favor of Washburno or Blaine, with a view to de- feat Grant. Careful inquiry of persons in a position to be acquainted with Sherman s plans shows that ho not only does not con- template relinquishing his caadulabara. trat that he is more confident in his prospects than he has been. Within two days ho has made more extensive arrangements for the circulation ot his campaign life, and gentle-me- a from d tfereut parts of the country, who are working in his interest, are now here comparing notes, and apparently have great belief in toe reserve ot their leader, ueneral Curtis, of New York, who is one ot Sher man s most active managers, and is a fed eral official who holds close relations to the secretary, reports the Sherman organiza tions as quite extensive in the state ot Conkiing. Mr. Sherman himself, in b;s in- tercourse wito congressmen and people from different sections of the country who are vis- iting here, talks freely about the Presidential situation, and does not hesitate to discuss the details ot his own f residential canvass, ine rumors, therefore, that Sherman contemplates withdrawing at the present stage ot the cam' paign are unfounded, and if he should con template withdrawing he would have great difficulty in transferring any of his forces to Biaine, if the views expressed by Sherman's lieutenants here in any way rennet tne opm ions of those whom they claim to represent. IndSed, Sherman's managers to-da- y are con- gratulating themselves that they have gained a new point in favor of their candidate, from the tact that the Uaio State convention to e- - lect delegates to Chicago has fixed the early day of March 2oth for meeting. This ecrly date they claim to be a strong point in sner-man- 's favor." Hires la for Sherman. General Sherman to "Gath:" "I hoped the President would talk to you on the Presi- dential question. He has talked to me and others upon it. lie is ior bherman unars-guisedl- y. He says that Sherman has deserv- ed the office by hard work, loyal party re- cord, sound judgment, a reputable life, and the very best class of public services. He says that Sherman's work of resumption was carried out with only such resources as a man of his experience could command, and with a courage possessed by few but Sherman. Mr. Hayes would have the supporters of his policy believe that J hn Sherman is the best man to leave it with. Why Net Bayee. Knoxville Tribune: "About this time four years ago, the republican retormers were booming Bristow as their candidate, now there s none to do bim reverence, iiayes, the great pacificator, after itinerating the country with his lunch-eatin- mutual ad- miration cortege, to his own satisfaction and the disgust of the country, has had but the faintest echo of a very questionable boom, and that came from tbe Knoxville Chronicle. W as ever man treated with such ingratitude as Hayes has been by his partners in crime? Without exception he has rewarded every man who assisted him by fraudulent and corrupt means in stealing the Presidency. Did just such another chapter as that which records the electoral commission infamy ever blackea the record of a civilized people? Were ever scoundrels and perjurers so openly, defiantly and shamelessly rewarded for their dark deeds? And yet that honor that is said to be prevailing among the very lowest order of men does not show itself here. It is as unnecessary for Mr. Hayes to assure his fawning appointees that he would not be a candidate for the nomination, for he has been deserted by even his own partners in the great wrong that was done the American people. The Republican party dare not bring bim before the people as their nominee for the Presidency, and ask for an indorse- ment of the electoral commission. Iiayes is, perhaps, the only prominent man in the Union that Mr. Tilden could beat for the Presidency. As between the two in a race for the Presidency, tbe result would be a foregone conclusion."

Rome special to the Herald, March 8th: "The Italian political world, no less than the religious and social, is profoundly stirred by the sutject of divorce. Signor Morelli's bill, which seeks to make it law, was y taken into consideration. The ministry ia favorable to tbe measure, but proposes to introduce modifications. It was fioally referred to a committee. This ia the beginning of a move- ment which will transform the whole system of Italian life. The newspapers, are for the greater part, opposed to it. Tha Lega dep- recates the concussions made to tbe civil law by the pope in his encyclical on the subject.

Oan commanded the respect that men feel for a bold acd virile foe; the other, who ascends the throne of the ages to make himself the gendarme of kings is liable to in- spire, not hatred, but contempt. On the other hand, the Pungolo, of Naples, holds . divorce to be an essentially moral expedient. If man were perfect indis- solubility would be the ideal. Man being imperfect, the legislator can no longer close his eyes. The Observatore Romano main- tains that the tendency to divorce is a sign of advanced corruption, and the true remedy is the restoration of the christian marriage and the men t of the family on the basis of ehristian law. the battle is being on all sides waged with energy and warmth. It is the moral ani intel'e tu 1 po- lemic of the hour, and tha voice of teligion has already made itself heard in the discus sion." TSE MUPHK9II2 CO CUT Declsioaa oa the Haryland and Ohio Cases The K fleet They are Likely te Have on Legislation. Washington special to the Baltimore Sun The decisions of the supreme court in the Maryland and Ohio election cases was an counced by Mr. Justice Bradley. As on last Monday, there, was a large attendance ot tbe members ot the bar, senators, repre sentatives and leading politicians, and ex treme interest was shown in listening to the opinion of the court. After the judgment of ot the court in the political cases announced last Monday, it was generally concluded that the court would without doubt in its decision In the Maryland and Ohio election cases up hold the constitutionality of the election laws ot congress, bat it was still thought by some that the court might not indicate a position so radical in all its phases as that assumed by the congress which passed the laws in ques tion. But an such hopes as these were doomed to disappointment. The court planted itself on ground quite as radical as that assumed by the Republicans in either house of congress in claiming the extent of the enlarged powers of that body under its recent constitutional amendments. Governor Whvte. who scanned the opinion closely, re marked that it covered the whole ground and lett no loophole ot escape tor tbe responsibil ity of State office's to the Federal judiciary in elections tor federal omcers. Another dis tinguished member of the bar said tbe court had swallowed tbe whole hogot unadul'erated Rtdicalism, head, leer, tail and bristles. The effect ot the opinion of ti e court is that hereafter at all elections for mem bers of the house of representatives and for Presidential electors the State election officers are not only responsible to the State authori ties tor the proper discharge of their duties under the State laws, but can also be held accountable both under the State and the Fed' eral laws regulating tbe conduct of elections to the t ederal authorities. Another very im- portant point in the decision of the court is that it affirms the full supervisory power of tbe deputy United states marshals at all Federal elections. As in many of the States the most important local elections are held on toe same dav as the i ederal elections. and as the United States officials are declared to have the nuthority to enforce the State as well as the Federal laws, it is not difficult to see what an important influence the United States officials may exert over the result of state elections. Certainly under the shadow of this decision of the su- preme court there is great danger that the arbitrary and highhanded proceedings m va rious parts ot the country ot the Federal elec tion officials may be much aggravated. As iB natural, the decisions of to day. following on those of last Monday, have been received with much rejoicing in Republican political circles, and intimations ate treely thrown out that when that party regains control of con gress additional legislation concerning tho conduct ot elections will be enacted. It also asserted that the Democratic majority in congress cannot, in the face of the decision Ctl tbe supreme court, refuse to make appro priations tor the pay ot the deputy-marshal- s, On this point the Democrats y have been slow to express themselves, preferring to wait ior party consultation." A. Horrible Fight with Rata. Peedeb. N. C. March 9. A remarkab and! perhaps, unprecedented combat took place at Bostick's Mills, near this place; this morning. It seems that General Bostwick and one of bis employes. Anderson Wayles, went into a cornhouse which has been stored with corn tor nearly twelve months, and which has been closed for that length of time, Atter getting in they found that the place was literally alive with rats. who. so far from bowing terror, began to attack fiercely the wo men, who in rain attempted to beat them off. They came upon them iu droves, biting tbem about thousands and face and legs, several actually getting under Wayles's shirt. In the struggle W aylee unfortunately turned over a heavy bale of fodder, which blocked up the door and prevented tbeir re- treat. Both men crustf ior halp, ar.d were rescued fiom tbe'r ppii'oui situation. The whole of Boat wick's left ear van eaten off ard his luce horribly grwgrri,. while Wajlcs pre- sented a sickOBiGg Bifihtr'f;!!i..B0se acd lip beiBg literally eaten solbt t ii bct biends could not recogoizi him, vrtile his left eye " was torn from its socket. . Carving- - Affrar- - Gkavbon, C. U., Marcis 9 A terrible af- fair occurred here jt which resulted in tho death of a young man named James Pat ton at the hands of Wiley Hill. The two men had been warm personal friends until four days since. At that tima the two young trothers of Pattern and Hill got into a quarrel over a game of marbles. Hill's orother is said to be the larger of the two, and when they had a fight he whipped young Pattou. A few i days after this they met and had another fight, this time Patton whipping Hill. Yesterday they met again at school, and durir.g recess had another "tight, iii which Hill got his antagonist down and beat him badly about the lace. The boy went home and told his big brother, who at once went to the residence of Wiley Hill to look for young Hill, intending, as he said, to whip him for bruising his little brother so. The elder Hill took op the quarrel, and, af- ter some words, the two began to fight, dur- ing which Patton jerked out a bowie-knif- e and stabbed his adversary in the stomach, literally ripping out his bowels. The nnfor-tunn- to voung man died in two hours. Patton made hvs escape. --- . , . Democratic Pledgee. Atlanta Constitution: The Democratic par- ty stands pledged by its action at the St. Louis convention to this: We denounce the present tariff, levied upon nearly four thousand articles, as a masterpiece of InjusUoe, Inequality and false pretense. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has Impoverished many Industries to subsidize a tew. It prohibits Im- ports that might purchase the products of American labor. It has degraded American commerce from tbe first to an Interior rank upon the high seas. It has cut down tbe sales of American manufactures at home and abroad, and depleted tbe returns of American agriculture, an Industry followed by halt our people. It costs the people five times more than It produces to the treasury, obstructs the processes of production, and wastes tbe fruits of .labor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dishon- est officials, and bankrupts honest merchants. We demand that all customhouse taxation shall be only for revenue. It would be well if three or four Democratic members of the ways and means committee would commit to memory the solemn pledge on tariff retorm that the party made to the people at the last convention.

New York special to the Cincinnati Gazette: Mr. Newcomb said late that he felt authorized to announce that his company had concluded arrangements that gave it control t the Mobile and JMew Orleans road. The details of the arrangement he did not give. but said that the negotiations were concluded, and a decree for the sale of thefoad had been entered. Under the law this will require six weeks advertisement, so that the Louisville and Nashville company will not be put in possession until about the sixth of May. When this occurs through trains of passen ger and baggage cars, as well as shipping cars, will be run from Lioaisville to Mew Or leans, night and day, and a large increase of travel by this route is expecled. The terms are most favoraole to tbe Louisville and Nash- ville company, and will yield it a very large profit, lhe original cost of the road, from first to las'-- , ia twelve mi lion dollars, and the Louisville and Nashville only assumed a fixed obligation of three hundred thousand dollars per annum." Tildea's Former Partner. JTsvr Yoke. March 9. At the meeting of the bar association grave charges were made against a former legal - aa- - .ooiot- - t amurf 3. Tilden. The corpora tion counsel called the attention ot thn asso ciation to the frequently repeated assertions that one of judges ol the marine court had recently been intoxicated on several occasions while on tbe bench. He moved that the matter be referred to the judiciary commit- tee. The president said it was no more than fair to the other judges that the name of the accused judge should be mentioned. The corporation counsel said he had no objection to stating tnat he referred to Judge Sinnott. lbe motion was carried. Judge Sinnott is a young man for his position. He was trained up from a boy in lilden s law office, and was halt clerk and a halt partner when ap pointed by Governor Tilden, in 1875, to this place. draat la Jlexieo. Citt of Mexico. March 9.

KKAltNEY, THE CBATEN, After Making' an Arsenal of Ills House, and Otherwise Preparing for a Siege, Is Ignomlnonsly Collared and Carried to the Lock-U- p on Two Charges. Ball Being furnished, He Is Kow at Liberty to Begin 1 gain His Yelping at the Heels of the Men IT hose Boots He Is Not Worthy to Black. San Francisco, March 11. Dennis Kear- ney was arrested by the police at his resi- dence this morning on two charges of misde- meanor, based on remarks he made at the meeting Tuesday night. He furnished bail and was released from custody. thb arrest or keabnet was accomplished very quietly, and while It caused a great deal of comment, occasioned no excitement or demonstration. Public opinion seems divided as to the wisdom of the movement, and many express the opinion that it will amount to nothing because of the impossibility of obtaining a conviction. This view is mainly based on the fact that the sheriff, who has the drawing of the jurors, is the . ... personal and political friend of Kearney, and was elected on the Work-ingmen- 's ticket, as also the district attorney. Tbe witness in the case, a member of the po lice, who bad been attending ia disguise the meetings and street demonstrations of the workingmen, and taking notes, says that there are many who think the citizans' protective union will be able to exercise a moral pressure that will result in the conviction of Kearney, and that the policy of making arrests of any person indulging in incendiary language will be vigorously pursued until the agitators are either locked np or cowed into an observance of the letter and spirit of the law. incendiary placards. This morning the police seized a number of placards in the public streets bearing this announcement: "Read! Tbe communists wide awake ! Be freeman ! Thieves in coun cil! Price ten cents, by newsdealers." The authorship of the placard cannot be ascer tained by tbe authorities. Before tbe Sea ate Kxodae Committee Yeeterday Feollahly Apprehen- sive of Danger te Uimaelf. Washington, March 11. The senate ex- odus committee continued the examination of Ruby, of tbe New Orleans Observer. He mentioned several parishes in Louisiana where he slid the negroes, as a general thing, were not allowed to vote unless they voted the Democratic ticket; there were ex- ceptions, however, in some localities, where the conservative planter element was strong enough to see fair play and allow them to vote as they pleased, in lsib, ne said, tne negroes all voted, notwithstanding the fact that the reign of tenor was intense, because they had white Republicans, who worked manfully, to lead in tbe political fight. Sen- ator Windom asked the witness if he would feel apprehensive on account of the evidence he had given here, in visiting the localities where he bad testified that outrages had oc- curred. To this the witness replied that he would, and further remarked that the fact alone of bis publishing a Republican news- - in New Orleans was sufficient to make Easer feel apprehensive for his safety if he vis- ited those localities. He bad no fear, how- - rer, ot molestation in New Orleans. WESTOH AND OLKAB1, Nates af the Walking-Matc- h New de- - lac ea at Saw Francisco Between theae Noted Feet-Pad- s. San Francisco. March 11. During the day Weston and O'Leary have been going steadily, with butlittle difference in their re lative positions. U Leary has been running nearly all day, with brief intervals of walk- ing, and this afternoon he appeared weary from his exertions, though he was in good pirits. Many think that he is injuring his chances by running so much, as he pounds heavily, inducing bleeding at the nose. Weston maintains his usual indescribable mixture of gaits and appears fresher than O'Leary. He has had much more rest, hav- ing been off the track altogether about fif teen hours, while O Leary has taken little more than a third of that time for rest. There has been little betting daring the day and that about even. Both are free from any soreness of feet or joints, and appeir to main- tain an excellent condition generally. At nine o clock ht the score stood O'Leary. 344 miles; Weston, 335 miles. There was a very large attendance. Both men are in good condition and going apparently easily. Indian Outrages oa the Texaa Border, San Antonio. March 9. Advices from Fort Clark report eighteen Indians camped on the prairie, twenty miles trom that place, with a large number of stolen horses. Gen eral Stanley, commanding at Fort Clark, has sent several companies out after them. The Indians are from Mexico, and are part of the band taken by the Mexican government last year to the City of Mexico, which caused a reversal ot the order tor united states troops to cross the Rio Grande, as it was thought their removal obviated the necessity for the order. They returned to the border last month and have committed over thirty mur- ders since and stolen much stock. A fight is expected when General Stanley s troops over take them, and they may possibly be followed into Mexico. A Virginia Scandal. Baltimore, Md March 7. A special telegram from Front Rova'., Virginia, gives brief particulars ot a scandal involving two leading families and which is now being in vestigated. It appears that a few days ago the corpse of a three-week- s old infant was found in the well on the premises of a leading citizen, and rumor associated the crime with a young lady who was known to have been in a delicate condition. Evidence was intro duced showing that this young person visited a friend, and was subsequently pronounced to be ill from the effects of maternity. The child disappeared, and it is now believed to have been murdered in order to conceal the mother's shame. Great interest is manifest ed in the case, and the verdict is anxiously looked forward to.

Thb St. Louis Republican makes a goodpoint Oa the two narrow-minde- d, sectionalbigots who represent the old Day State in thesenate. It appears that the Massachusettslegislature has passed and sent to Washing-

ton resolutions requesting the senators andrepresentative ot that Slate to vote for tbobill to grant pensions to the soldiers of theMexican war. The bill if it passes will, ofcourse, include Jefferson Davis, who was aconspicuous soldier in that war; and it is re-

marked that this is in curious contrast withthe action of the two Massachusetts senatorsin opposing the bill in tho lat session becauseit ino'.uded JcflVrson Davis. It would seemthat the Massachusetts legislature does notshare Messrs. Dawes's and Hoar's hostility tothe southern chieftain.

The New York Mercury tells the story of

a Force, whosa name seems to fit herlike a glove. Sne is only thirty-eig- ht yearsof age, and is tho mother of twenty-tw- o

gin when her mother "leaves off." Mrs.

Force i as she ouht to Us, proud of herachievement She said to tho reporter who

interviewed her that she had "the consolation

of knowing that if I have labored I have notlabored in vain." "I often tell my husband,"he also said, "that, thouch I do suffer a

sreat deal with the little ones, I am determined not to give in until I reach tho q.iartercentury, lie laughs at me, but do you knowI'm quite young rnouh to bo able to do so'r"'Congress ought to vote Mrs. Force a pensioaand a medal.

The Republicans in congress --the so calledstatesmen are anxioui not eo much about

the legation of tho country as how tobriag about a bloody-shi- rt debate that will

make capital for their party in tho comingPresidential canvass. They held a caucusthe other day and resolved to make the case

of General Fits. John Potter a partisan one,and order were issued that members of bothhouses were to vote Lhe continuance of a grossinjustice to an officer whose courage, discre-tion and generalship have been formally at-

tested by a military commission. It wasalso agreed to antagonise, on the bloody-shir- t

basis, the bill introduced in the house by Mr.Tucker, of Virginia, repealing the eloctioulaws which the United States supreme court,in infamously party spirit, declared constitu-tional. The Republicans thus coulees thatthey have neither the ability cor the courageto circus great questions upon their merits.And this is called statesmanship.

'Tne sentiment in reference to the Dem- -

ocratic nominee is very unsettled among theleaders. I believe Mr. Bayard is the strong-est man and would win the race. He is verypopular at the north, and a large number ofRepublicans will vote for him. A prominentRepubihan said to me: 'We are going tonominate Grant and we are going to beatyou because you will blunder by nominatingTilden, or eome other unpopular man. Now,if you should nominate Bayard, it would ba close race and your chances would be ex-

cellent. I believe he could carry New York,Connecticut and other doubtful States.' Thesame man said New York was to-da- y Demo-

cratic by forty thousand majority. Of coursethe south will vote for whoever ia nominated,but much depends upon the vote of the southin the convention. I do not believe the finan-cial issue will enter at all into the next cam-paing- n.

The Republicans will hoist thebloody shirt as their banner and make themost of it they can. I did think that issuewas worn threadbare, but it is now certainthat they are going to bring it forwardstronger than ever and wave it throughoutthe campaign. They are already sendingemissaries throughout the country andthoroughly organizing the party oa thatissue."

Jewett to be Bapperted by tbe Rail-roads.

Ohio letter in the New York Herald:"But this may be or it may not be a recom-mendation for Mr. Jewett as a Presidentialcandidate. There are manyDemocrats who will say that it will not do toput up a man who is at the head of immenserailway combinations as a candidate forPresident; that it would identity the partywith the great monopolies. To this the an-sw- tir

is readily made that tho Republicanshave virtual control of tbe national banks ofthe country, with the addition of -- all theFederal office-holder- s, and that these unitedmake a more powerful monopoly than therailroads could possibly become if they allanted.' A leading Democrat of this fctatisaid to your correspondent: 'It has got tocome to this: We will have to call on therailroads to unite and help us to fight ourbattles with the bank?, or we wul never win

battle. This aggregation ot capital, readyto obey the commands ot. the generalgovernment, ia a power we can nevercope with unless we get an equally strongpower on our side, ana the onlything we can depend npon is the rauroids.It is said that Congressman bpringer, ot Illi-nois, is for Jewett, and will make a deter-mined effort to vive him tbe vote of thatState delegation after they have doae theirduty by Governor Palmer, of that State, whois in the held, bfrincer was one ot iiiaen'schief advisers four years ago. It is also saidHen Isaac Eaton, ot Kansas, a member otthe National Democratic committee, will giveJewett the vote of their delegation from theoutset. Eaton was formerly an Ohio man.and he is related by marriage to Jewett, and

a great admirer ot him. A prominenteistern nemosrat said to meto-aay- : -- van-derbilt will give two hundred and htty thou-sand dollars, Colonel Tom Scott will givaone hundred thousand dollars and John W.Garrett another hundred thousand dollars tothe Democratic campaign fund if Jewettshould be nominated for President. Besidesthis Jewett himself is rich, and can easilygive one hundred thousand dollars for thesame purpose. That would make up a fundof five hundred and fifty thousand dollarsfrom four men, fully as much as lilden spsntin his campaign of four years ago.' Thissame gentleman said that Mr. Tilden himselflooked with more favor on Mr. Jewett thanon any other one whose name has been pre-sented, giving as a reason that he wouidnever consent to any one having tbe nomina-tion who had anything to do with theelectoral commission, and this cut out Thur- -man and Bayard; that he furthermore despised Hendricks because he bad treated bimshabbily; that uancocK coma never get tnevote of New York, and as for P. rker andPalmes and Judge Davis they had no chance

hatever. Ihw gentleman closed by saying:If it comes to a close fight, and Tilden finds

he can't make it, he will turn all hu strengthover lo Jewett in preference to any oth-- r

man.' "

sna Sherman Confident.Washington special to the Philadelphia

Times: "Somo of the eastern sensationalapers have published the statement thatrcretarv Sherman contemplates withdraw

ing as a candidate for the Presidency in favorof Washburno or Blaine, with a view to de-

feat Grant. Careful inquiry of persons in aposition to be acquainted with Sherman splans shows that ho not only does not con-template relinquishing his caadulabara. tratthat he is more confident in his prospectsthan he has been. Within two days ho hasmade more extensive arrangements for thecirculation ot his campaign life, and gentle-me- a

from d tfereut parts of the country, whoare working in his interest, are now herecomparing notes, and apparently have greatbelief in toe reserve ot their leader, ueneralCurtis, of New York, who is one ot Sherman s most active managers, and is a federal official who holds close relations tothe secretary, reports the Sherman organizations as quite extensive in the state otConkiing. Mr. Sherman himself, in b;s in-

tercourse wito congressmen and people fromdifferent sections of the country who are vis-

iting here, talks freely about the Presidentialsituation, and does not hesitate to discuss thedetails ot his own fresidential canvass, inerumors, therefore, that Sherman contemplateswithdrawing at the present stage ot the cam'paign are unfounded, and if he should contemplate withdrawing he would have greatdifficulty in transferring any of his forces toBiaine, if the views expressed by Sherman'slieutenants here in any way rennet tne opmions of those whom they claim to represent.IndSed, Sherman's managers to-da- y are con-gratulating themselves that they have gaineda new point in favor of their candidate, fromthe tact that the Uaio State convention to e- -

lect delegates to Chicago has fixed the earlyday of March 2oth for meeting. This ecrlydate they claim to be a strong point in sner-man- 's

favor."

cord, sound judgment, a reputable life, andthe very best class of public services. Hesays that Sherman's work of resumption wascarried out with only such resources as a manof his experience could command, and witha courage possessed by few but Sherman.Mr. Hayes would have the supporters of hispolicy believe that J hn Sherman is the bestman to leave it with.

Why Net Bayee.Knoxville Tribune: "About this time four

years ago, the republican retormers werebooming Bristow as their candidate, nowthere s none to do bim reverence, iiayes,the great pacificator, after itinerating thecountry with his lunch-eatin- mutual ad-miration cortege, to his own satisfaction andthe disgust of the country, has had but thefaintest echo of a very questionable boom,and that came from tbe Knoxville Chronicle.W as ever man treated with such ingratitudeas Hayes has been by his partners in crime?Without exception he has rewarded everyman who assisted him by fraudulent andcorrupt means in stealing the Presidency.Did just such another chapter as that whichrecords the electoral commission infamy everblackea the record of a civilized people?Were ever scoundrels and perjurers so openly,defiantly and shamelessly rewarded for theirdark deeds? And yet that honor that is saidto be prevailing among the very lowest orderof men does not show itself here. It is asunnecessary for Mr. Hayes to assure hisfawning appointees that he would not be acandidate for the nomination, for he has beendeserted by even his own partners in thegreat wrong that was done the Americanpeople. The Republican party dare notbring bim before the people as their nomineefor the Presidency, and ask for an indorse-ment of the electoral commission. Iiayes is,perhaps, the only prominent man in theUnion that Mr. Tilden could beat for thePresidency. As between the two in a racefor the Presidency, tbe result would be aforegone conclusion."

Declsioaa oa the Haryland and OhioCases The K fleet They are Likely

te Have on Legislation.

Washington special to the Baltimore SunThe decisions of the supreme court in the

Maryland and Ohio election cases was ancounced by Mr. Justice Bradley. Ason last Monday, there, was a large attendanceot tbe members ot the bar, senators, representatives and leading politicians, and extreme interest was shown in listening to theopinion of the court. After the judgment ofot the court in the political cases announcedlast Monday, it was generally concluded thatthe court would without doubt in its decisionIn the Maryland and Ohio election cases uphold the constitutionality of the election lawsot congress, bat it was still thought by somethat the court might not indicate a positionso radical in all its phases as that assumed bythe congress which passed the laws in question. But an such hopes as these weredoomed to disappointment. The courtplanted itself on ground quite as radical asthat assumed by the Republicans in eitherhouse of congress in claiming the extent ofthe enlarged powers of that body under itsrecent constitutional amendments. GovernorWhvte. who scanned the opinion closely, remarked that it covered the whole ground andlett no loophole ot escape tor tbe responsibility of State office's to the Federal judiciary inelections tor federal omcers. Another distinguished member of the bar said tbe courthad swallowed tbe whole hogot unadul'eratedRtdicalism, head, leer, tail and bristles.The effect ot the opinion of ti e court isthat hereafter at all elections for members of the house of representatives and forPresidential electors the State election officersare not only responsible to the State authorities tor the proper discharge of their dutiesunder the State laws, but can also be heldaccountable both under the State and the Fed'eral laws regulating tbe conduct of electionsto the t ederal authorities. Another very im-portant point in the decision of the court isthat it affirms the full supervisory power oftbe deputy United states marshals at allFederal elections. As in many of the Statesthe most important local elections are heldon toe same dav as the i ederal elections.and as the United States officials are declaredto have the nuthority to enforce the State aswell as the Federal laws, it is not difficultto see what an important influencethe United States officials may exertover the result of state elections. Certainlyunder the shadow of this decision of the su-

preme court there is great danger that thearbitrary and highhanded proceedings m various parts ot the country ot the Federal election officials may be much aggravated. AsiB natural, the decisions of to day. followingon those of last Monday, have been receivedwith much rejoicing in Republican politicalcircles, and intimations ate treely thrown outthat when that party regains control of congress additional legislation concerning thoconduct ot elections will be enacted. Italso asserted that the Democratic majority incongress cannot, in the face of the decisionCtl tbe supreme court, refuse to make appropriations tor the pay ot the deputy-marshal- s,

On this point the Democrats y have beenslow to express themselves, preferring towait ior party consultation."

We denounce the present tariff, levied upon nearlyfour thousand articles, as a masterpiece of InjusUoe,Inequality and false pretense. It yields a dwindling,not a yearly rising revenue. It has Impoverishedmany Industries to subsidize a tew. It prohibits Im-ports that might purchase the products of Americanlabor. It has degraded American commerce fromtbe first to an Interior rank upon the high seas.

Newetah's Last U tab.New York special to the Cincinnati Gazette:

Mr. Newcomb said late that he feltauthorized to announce that his company hadconcluded arrangements that gave it control

t the Mobile and JMew Orleans road. Thedetails of the arrangement he did not give.but said that the negotiations were concluded,and a decree for the sale of thefoad had beenentered. Under the law this will require sixweeks advertisement, so that the Louisvilleand Nashville company will not be put inpossession until about the sixth of May.When this occurs through trains of passenger and baggage cars, as well as shippingcars, will be run from Lioaisville to Mew Orleans, night and day, and a large increase oftravel by this route is expecled. The termsare most favoraole to tbe Louisville and Nash-ville company, and will yield it a very largeprofit, lhe original cost of the road, fromfirst to las'-- , ia twelve mi lion dollars, and theLouisville and Nashville only assumed a fixedobligation of three hundred thousand dollarsper annum."

thb arrest or keabnetwas accomplished very quietly, and while Itcaused a great deal of comment, occasionedno excitement or demonstration. Publicopinion seems divided as to the wisdom ofthe movement, and many express the opinionthat it will amount to nothing because of theimpossibility of obtaining a conviction. Thisview is mainly based on the fact that thesheriff, who has the drawing of the jurors, isthe . ...

personal and political friendof Kearney, and was elected on the Work-ingmen- 's

ticket, as also the district attorney.Tbe witness in the case, a member of the police, who bad been attending ia disguise themeetings and street demonstrations of theworkingmen, and taking notes, says that thereare many who think the citizans' protectiveunion will be able to

exercise a moral pressurethat will result in the conviction of Kearney,and that the policy of making arrests of anyperson indulging in incendiary language willbe vigorously pursued until the agitators areeither locked np or cowed into an observanceof the letter and spirit of the law.

incendiary placards.This morning the police seized a number

of placards in the public streets bearing thisannouncement: "Read! Tbe communistswide awake ! Be freeman ! Thieves in council! Price ten cents, by newsdealers." Theauthorship of the placard cannot be ascertained by tbe authorities.

Sen-ator Windom asked the witness if he wouldfeel apprehensive on account of the evidencehe had given here, in visiting the localitieswhere he bad testified that outrages had oc-
