Arrested for Xjibol-
Yesterday morning a woman named Ada Purdy
Spencer swore out before Justice Spann a warrant
charging Mr. Ed. Jacobs, of the Galveston Printing
ani Publishing company, wjth criminal libel. Cou-
stable Finn arrested Mr. Jacobs, who at once gave
bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance at 3
o'clock this afternoon. The following is a copy of
the affidavit upon which the warrant was issued.
The State of Texas, County of Galveston: Per-
sonally appeared before the undersigned authority
Mrs. Ada Spencer, who. aftkir being by me duly
sworn, deposes and says that Edward Jacobs, in
the county of Galveston and State of Texas, on the
4th day of September, A. D. 1 ■**>', did commit the
offense of writing and publishing in the Daily
Print, a newspaper published in the county of Gai-
veston. State of Texas, a malicious statement af-
fecting the reputation of aftiant, with the intention
of injnring said aftiant. Said malicious statement
is in the following words, viz.:
•• BLACK VS. WHITE."
" Mitchell Bradford, colored, was fined $25 and
costs at the Recorder's Court for assaulting and
striking the notorious Ada Purdy-Speneer. The
woman Purdy made the charges, but
through her attorney, Walter Wilson, refused to
prosecute, and consequently Bradford ordered a
plea of guilty eutered. but expressed a desire to go
before a jury, thinking thereby to escape the ver-
dict of the recorder, who was familiar with the
facts.
•• A jury was impaneled and the recorder simply
stated that Bradford, the prisoner, had been ar-
rested for an assault upon the woman mentioned
above: that he had refused to be tried by him (the
recordert ;ind asked the jury to take the case.JTliey
did so, and it bein^r a jury composed of brains they
easily saw through the net the woman Purdy at-
tempted to weave for them, in the hope of gaining
evidence for the man who had assaulted her, and
promptly fined him (Bradford) $25.
•• The strange feature about this case is that the
man Bradford has been arrested several times for
assaulting this woman, and in each assault she has
failed to prosecute him. This last assault took
place on Saturday, and through the exertions of
officer Nieman. the man was arrested on Sundav.
'• Bradford is the negro who. in open court at the
time of the Spencer divorce case a few years ago,
swore that he was the husband of Ada Purdy
Spencer. Since that time, it is stated, the couple
have been living together as husband aud wife,
and their quarrels have been frequent. It is not
the intention of the Print to comment on this mat-
ter further than to sav that the police, having in
their possession all the disgusting and revolting
facts of this unnatural liaison between the negro
Bradford and the notorious Ada Purdy, should cer-
tainly take the matter in hand and punish the pro-
per parties. If they do not, an outraged commu-
nity may resort to a coat of tar and feathers as a
warning to all such vile oiTenierg."
That said statement above set out conveys the
idea that nrtiant has been guilty of having inter-
married with .Mitchell Bradford, a negro, and, hav-
ing so intermarried with said Mitchell Bradford,
negro, wiih continuing to live with said Mitchell
Bradford as his wife, in the State of Texas, con-
trary to the form of the statute in such cases made
and provided, aud against the peace and dignity of
the State. Mrs. Ada Spencer.
Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 17th day
of Sentember. A. D. 1883. James T. Spann,
Justice of the Peace.

The Rev. S. M. Bird left on the afternoon train
yesterday for St. Louis. During his visit he will

Messrs. Lyon and Park man have kindly consented
to look, after ail the ministrations of Trinity parish.
Mr. A. C. Torbert will assist as lay reader in the
public services of the church.
Died in Flatonia*
Frank Shally, a paiuter. who lived in Galveston a
few years ago, recently died in Flatonia. His death
was very sudden. He was well known in Galveston,
and bore the reputation of being a generous and
honorable man. Mr. Shally was a native or Penn-
sylvania, but resided in Boston, Mass., before com-
ing to Texas. After leaving here, he went to Hous-
ton. where he worked at his trade until about one
year ago.

Mr. A. G.Redwood,of Houston, and Miss Gillette.
A number of friends were present to witness the
ceremony and to congratulate the happy couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Tuftiy left for Houston last night.
Tho Ico Supply.
The scarcity of ice, which was alluded to yester-
day, has grown in proportions. Yesterday one es-
tablishment was closed aud another was selling
only to regular and heavy customers. It is said
that one vessel ice-laden for Galveston has been
sunie, and another is supposed to have been de-
tained by adverse winds. At all events, there is a
scarcity of ice and an abundance of warm water
and lamentations of mild character in the land.
The New Street Railway.
There is somewhat of an error in the statement
that the Ordinance Committee, in submitting a
number of amendments, so changed tilings as
almost to make a new route for the road. This is
not so. It is identical with the original petition
with the mere exception of adding Twenty-fourth
street from Postoffiee to the Strand. Ail of the
Ordinance Committee, Aldermen Ketchum, Allen
and Marlow. reported favorably. Alderman Allen
voted no on first and second readings. Aldermen
Ketchum and Marlow voted aye on first reading,
but no on the second.

DMCcKeever's Statement.
Wit i reference to the statement of the
prisoner R. A. McKee, whose affidavit
was published yesterday morning, MV.
John, of the National Bank of Texas, simply
said McKeever's talk was for effect. Mr. John said
a dispatch was received at his bank, and was called
for by a party who gave liis name—at dark-haired,
^dark-faced man with a dark mustache. Mr. John
further says that all the interest or concern he
had in the case was simply to catch a rascal. If
tho man McKee is a rascal he is glad lie has been
caught: if he is an innocent man he is sorry that
he has been put to so great an amount of worry,
trouble and expense. As Mr. .John said to a News
reporter, this is the whole of it.

To Xc& Consumers!
The ice machiue we are now running is an
experimental machine, and only makes ten
tons per day, and we wish parties who were re-
fused ice by us yesterday to know that we
refused them ice simply because we did not
have it. We have customers who have taken
our ice all summer, aud they take all we can
make, and we are bound to keep them sup-
plied. If we had more, or could make more,
we certainly would not refuse it to any one.
We arc now hard at work putting in three
more and larger machines, and by January 1
expect to turn out forty tons daily, and during
tho cool months we intend to store away 5000
tous for an emergency, and we hope next sea-
sou not to be compelled to refuse ice to any
one, and at a very low price.

Notwithstanding the ice famine, there has

JL Haunted Sngine.
[Detroit Free Press.]
From time to time hints have been thrown
out concerning the haunted engine of the De-
troit, Lansing and Northern railroad. Of
late so much has beeu said that your corre-
spondent determined to inquire iuto tho mat-
ter. The engine—No. 20—is run at Edmore as
a yard engine by Cal Piatt, from whom I
learned that the ~ locomotive had been the
means of causing the death of several people,
and only last spring ran over and killed a
man near Portland. The side which has run
over the bodies keeps up a constant
groaning, and moans like a human being in dis-
tress. It has since been oiled *an<l everything
done to stop this noise, but it has no effect
whatever. The latest freak in which it has in-
dulged occurred one day last week. The en-
gine was standing on the track and tho engin-
eer standing beside it, but no one was touching
any part of tho machinery, when the bell com-
menced ringiug and continued lor several
seconds. Several persons standing by witness-
ed this, ami say they would swear that it was a
fact. Engineer Piatt says he is not naturally
superstitious, but he doesn't know what to
inuko of it.
The Cherokee Hose.
[To The News.i
A pleasing feature of Florida is the beauti-
ful and fragrant Cherokee rose, that abounds
m the whole peninsula. The Cherokee tribe
of Indians dwelt from 500 to 1000 miles further
north, in what is now North Georgia, and in
adjacent regions now comprised in Tennessee
aud North Carolina. How came this Florida
rose to bear the name of Cherokee?
The legend is, that the Seminoles, living in
the low country, now Florida, went on the
warpath against the Cherokees. entered their
country- and fought a battle. A young Semi-
nole brave was taken prisoner and carried to
the wigwam of a Cherokee chief. He was
doomed to be put to death. But the custom of
the tribe was not to execute captives when
sick. This young warrior, being sick, was
spared tili lie should recover, when death
mid be inflicted on him. The chief had a
daughter that attended him in his illness, and
ti e two fell in love. When convalescent
and able to travel, the young brave
determined, with her connivance, to make his
escape and return to bis own people. She con-
sented to elope with him. One dark night
they started from her father's abode. After
they had gone some distance the young wo-
man stopped and expressed an earnest desire to
go back to her home and bear away some me-
mento of the place. Retracing their steps, she
plucked a small rose-bush that she brought
away. They carried it to the Seminole coun-
try, where, being planted, it grew and flour-
ished. From this root the variety was propa-
gated, and in course of time it spread through
the peninsula, where it thrives aud blooms at
the present day. It is universally styled the
Cherokee rose:
Beautiful rose, how came you here?
Flourishing, bright, throughout the >ear—
Climbing and creeping on fence and tree.
Blooming with splendor and fair to see.
Fragrant and lovely, a pleasing thing.
As northern roses appear in spring.
Fadeless an l charming at every time.
In the open air, in this sunny clime.
" I'm an exotic," the rose replied,
" Brought from a distance. I here abide.
My native home is a colder clime.
Land of the mountain heights sublime.
In midst of which the Cherokees roved—
Beautiful scenes that the Indians loved—
There 1 was planted, and there 1 bloomed.
And with my odor the air perfumed.
Far from a tropical. Southern land.
Cheftains and warriors, a hostile baud,
Seminole braves that were young and old,
Valiant and daring, courageous, bold,
Came to the mountains, engage I in fight.
And when defeated aud put to flight.
Some of the number behind were left,
Of all the captured they were bereft.
One of the captives, a fair young brave,
Feeble and sick, as if near the grave.
Fell to the chief of a mountain clan;
Destined to perish aud end life's span,
When, to his vigor restored again.
He should bo strong to encounter pain.
Then he should die by the laws of war,
Never return to his home afar.
Love is the monarch in every clime,
Reigning in all the ag^s of time.
Ruling alike in the savage wild.
Nature's untutored aud simple child,
And in the bosom of youth and maid
Cultured, refined, by art arrayed,
Woman and man. wherever they dwell.
Yield to its magic aud potent spell.
Captive the Seminole warrior lay.
Fevered and languid from day to day;
Lovely and fair in her womanhood,
Blooming, bewitching, a maiden stood
Beside his couch, and with sweetest grace
Waited on him and breathed iu his face,
While he in turn, with a passion fired.
Revealed the love that her charms inspired.
Brief is the story—they loved and fled.
When he recovered anil rose from his bed,
Amid the darkness they stole away
Through the dense woods that round them lay;
Taking a final and farewell view,
Bidding a sorrowful, last adieu.
To childhood's home that she held so dear.
Fugitive bride—the maid shed a tear,
But in her flight she suddenly turned.
Passionate longing within her burned
For a memento, on distant strand,
Of her belov'd and sweet native land;
Object recalling the days of yore,
Scenes to be viewed by her eyes no more,
Causing the past to revive again.
Raised from the dead by memory's chain.
Backward the warrior and dusky maid
Crept to the wigwam whence they had strayed.
From all the flowering shrubs that bloomed
Near to the house and the air perfumed.
One of the bushes most prized she chose.
The tender sprout of a fragrant rose.
Then from the spot with the stem withdrew,
Planted again in the South it grew.
I am that shrub, the Cherokee Rose,
Fanned by the breeze that in Florida blows,
Thriving and blooming so lovely and fair,
Odors exhaling, perfuming the air.
Love brought me here, t.o this tropical clime,
Far from my home amid grandeur sublime,
But from the place of my birth I am named,
Rose from the mountains, for beauty far famed."

JTennie Cramer.
[New York Times.l
The most mysterious character who figured
in the Malley-Cranier mystery, two years ago,
was the individual known as the man with the
black mustache. Many witnesses swore that
they saw such a man with Jennie Cramer, the
murdered girl, the two Malley boys and
Blanche Douglass, iu their trips at the snore,
immediately preceding the murder, and
that he seemed to be on intimate terms
with them. In the early stage of the
investigation into the circumstances atteud-
ing the girl's death every effort was made to
ascertain who the man with the black mus-
tache was, and where he came from. But the
.man disappeared so suddenly and completely
after the investigation was set on foot that
many interested in the case were disposed to
regard him as a myth. Royal M. Bas-
sett, a wealthy manufacturer of Birming-
ham, arrived home from a trip to Europe
a few weeks ago. Unless he is the victim
of a gross aud motiveless deception, he had
the strange fortune to meet the man with
the black mustache on his travels. He is a
warm friend of Edward Malley, father of
Walter Malley, and partly on this account and
partly because he is averse to notoriety, re-
frained from saying anything about his re-
markable adventure. But a few evenings ago
to a small circle of friends he related how he
met a young man at the railway station at
Brussels late one night, and traveled with him
to London. The two became acquainted, and
it resulted in the stranger telling Mr. Bassett
that he was the mysterious man with the
black mustache. The man went on to give
full details of Jennie Cramer's poison-
ing. Ho said that he was in hiding for
the first few days. They were looking for him,
and he took passage for Germany, being liber-
ally supplied with money by parties whose in-
terest it was to keep him out of the way of the
authorities, and being under agreement not to
return to America, he was about to go to Aus-
tralia, as he saw a favorable opening there.
Mr. Bassett parted with him in London. One
of the gentlemen to whom Mr. Bassett told this
story sa}*s: " Mr. Bassett spoke of his adven-
ture in the course of a conversation which we
had about the strange acquaintances people
make when traveling. The man said that the
girl was poisoned at tho Malley house. He
claimed that the killing of the girl was not
intended. She had refused to comply with
their solicitations and Walter fixed up a dose
to drug her so that she would be helpless, or
at least, I think the dose was spoken of simply
as drugs. It had unexpectedly a fatal re-
sult. This occurred, as I understood Mr. Bas-
alt to say, Thursday night instead on the night
following, which was the one of which the
State in its prosecution! of the Malleys
and Blanche Douglass built its theory as to
the time of the murder. It was not until
the next night that the body was taken
to the shore aud thrown into the water. The
black-mustached man told Mr. Bassett that
he assisted in this part of the job. The man
said he was formerly a clerk in New York,
and told in what ollice he worked aud
all about himself. He also described all
the details of the girl's death, aud the way in
which her body was disposed of with a par-
ticularity which evidently made a deep im-
pression on Mr. Bassett's mind. The man is
now in Australia, as he said he was on his
way there at the time of meeting Mr. Bas-
sett." ^
Mary Anderson's Discretion.
A gentleman who returned home from Lon-
don last week says Mary Anderson has had a
more cordial reception there than has been
given to an American actress for many years.
He also tells a story which, if correct, can not
fail to increase the respect of the American
public for Miss Anderson. It seems that upon
her arrival she was invited to some of the best
houses in London, and stories were told of her
beauty and wit that made the Prince of "Wales
very anxious to meet her. Miss An-
derson was informed of this flatter-
ing expression of his royal highness
but, most unaccountably, as it seemed
to her English friends, she showed no desire
for the presentation. Finally, a gentleman
who knew her very weli was asked by the
prince to sayr to Miss Anderson that he would
be pleased if she would indicate a time when
it would be agreeable to her to receive an in-
troduction to his royal highness. She replied
that, while she wished to show no disrespect to
the future ruler of England, she must decline
to receive him. Such a reply had never before
been made to a request for an introduction by a
princa of the blood, and she was asked to ex-
plain. "An introduction to the Prince of
Wales." she pluckily answered, 44 can do me no
good professionally, aud I know very well
how he regards actresses generally. Person-
ally, I have always maintained my dignity
and self-respect, and I do not mean to put
myself in any position voluntarily where I
may be compelled to forget them. There
fore, I must decline to be presented to him.
I have gone this far in life without a breath
of scandal reaching to me, and I do not mean
now to do anything that might change that
condition." This settled the matter. Tho
story got out in London, and was widely re-
peated, aud it was noticeable after that that
the princess of Wales invited Miss Anderson
to her garden party, an honor she has never
before conferred on any actress of the English
stage. It is a pity some of the American
girls, who are getting themselves very much
talked about in connection with the prince of
Wales, could not follow Miss Anderson's ex-
ample.
is a very active and accommodating gentle-
man, and has been a long tim« in the
company's employ, yet iu his varied
duties you will find Jack at his heels,
and he will allow no one to come between him
and his boss. When seated at the desk, he lies
down at Mr. B.'s feet, and will allow no one to
touch him. At night Jack follows Mr. Bellamy
to his bedside, and if he can not manage by
stealth or otherwise to get into the bed, he will
lie down beside tho bed, and there remain
until morning, unless some intruder steps into
the room, when he will dart at him with all
the ferocity of his wild nature. Few who in-
trude on him unwittingly once ever
wish to try their hand a second
time; yet, if not molested, he is per-
fectly gentle. At the ta ble he stands at his
master's side and receives a portion of any-
thing that he eats, and he is not particular
what it is. He is a veritable tippier, and likes
his whisky and beer and any other strong drink.
After drinking whisky he will smack his lips
and give signs for more. Any person who has
ever seen a javelin can imagine what a grace-
ful figure he-cuts with his unshapely body with
the whisky glass in his mouth. "But a short
time ago three cayotes came on the
platform at the station in the mid-
dle of the night. Jack jumped up and
stood between his master and the cayotes and
kept them at bay until one of tho transporta-
tion men woke up and asked what was the
matter. Mr. B. said it was only coyotes, that
Jack would take care of them, and rolled over
and went to sleep again. One day later Jack got
up into the bed beside the baby. He licked its
face and then laid down besi le it and kept the
flies off. Jack has got many tricks, but the
most important thing that strikes the observer
is the strong attachment he has for his master.
A ITew Slemady for drunkenness.
[London Telegraph.1
At last a platform appears to have been
found upon which the Blue-Ribbon army aud
the habitual drunkard can meet and shake
hands. It is the kola nut. Hitherto senators
have legislated, orators harangued and the
church preached and prayed as if drunkenness
were one thing and temperance another; as if
intoxication and teetotalism must remain
antagonistic forces. This has, indeed, been
among the popular errors of civiliza-
tion for many centuries, but the be-
lief is% happilyr past. Science claims
another triumph, and Sir Wilfrid Lawson and
the owners of the gin-palace can now sit down
together in harmony, and consent, over the
mutual glass, to let bygones be bygones. Sena-
tors can withdraw their too-hastv measures for
the restriction of the poor mans drink and the
circumspection of his hours of wilful inebria-
tion; the orator, following the example of high
authority and most illustrious precedent, may
plead that a construction " not obviously inhe-
rent" has beeu placed upon his public utter-
ances; while the pastor may find in this latest
discovery of botanical enterprise an overruling
dispensation which accommodates itself to the
infirmities of a weak-minded aud erring hu-
manity. For here, actually on sale in London,
is a nut, " a harmless, necessary" nut. which
routs all previous impressions on the subject cf
intoxication; which takes the thorn from the
rose, and gives the honey-bag to the scorpion;
which straightens the tortuous latch-key of the
drunkard, aud yet leads innocence byr the hand
through the "dreamlands of inebriation;"
which makes that which was not to be,aud that
which could not to have power; which abolishes
all necessity for social leagues against the fiend
of alcohol; which sweeps away the boundaries
between the sober and the besotted, and smiles,
as if in the fulness of virtuous achievement at
the licensed victualler aud the teetotaller em-
bracing one another with the kiss of peace. It
is, indeed, a wonderful berry, if half be true
that is said of it, and exceeds in its virtues the
amethysts and toadstoues of antiquity. The
former cou d only cure drunkenness, while the
latter could only insure abstinence. But the
kola nut does both at once, for it lets the whole
world get soberly iutoxicated together, and al-
lows them to be drunkeulv temperate. If the
immoderate toper eat it before he gets sodden
with strong drink he can never become " unfit
to join the ladies." Or if he delay eating it
until the worst has overtaken him he is re-
stored at once to a condition of sobriety. So,
at any rate, say those who would have us be-
lieve in it.
What authority, however, have tho propri-.
etors for claiming such advantageous qualities
for their berry? It is claimed for it that, like
man}' other nuts and herbs, it has the property
of staying the appetite for a long period. The
mate, for instance, is a leaf upou which the
Peruvians cau travel for as long as three days
without food, solid or liquid. Moreover, in-
fused in water, it gives to the decoction a bit-
ter taste that resembles tea or coffee in veryr
much the same degree as boiled brown paper
might do. Further, a Mr. Papefio, whose
name is not familiar to us, says that the kola
nut, if eaten at the same time that alcoholic
drinks are beiug imbibed, will absolutely pre-
vent the latter from having any effect at all,
while the negroes are, it appears, in the habit
of using their valuable discovery as a remedy
for drunkenness.
iYZalddoon Blade a Victim.
The San Francisco Post tells a good story- of
Wrestler Muldoon. Charley Duade, Senator
McCarty, Jim Brizel, John Gilbert, the come-
dian, aud other jokers kept talking to Mul-
doon about a blacksmith named McFadden,
who, they claimed, had originated a peculiar
manner of bracing his feet so as to render his
beiug thrown an impossibility. The champion
blandly explained to the boys that any such
foothold was out of the question, and illus-
trated the fact that no matter how big and
heavy a wrestler might be, be was liable to be
lifted clear off his feet.
That's all very well, Mul," said Duane,
shaking his head solemnly, 44 but you haven't
tried this man McFadden yet. I'd like to bet
a basket of champagne for the crowd that you
can't budge him."
The bet w as accepted, and in an hour or two
one of the plotters rushed in and informed the
crowd that McFadden was in the saloon just
opposite, and was w illing to wrestle off-hand.
That's the man, is it?" asked Muldoon,
grimly, as they entered tho saloon and discov-
ered a short, thick-set individual standing in
the middle of the floor, with his feet braced
about two feet apart, and with a do-or-die ex-
pression on his face. 44 Well, I'll make it two
baskets that I flop him in three minutes by the
clock."
"Done!" shouted the crowd, and, catching a
favorite grip on the blacksmith, Muldoon gave
a little preliminary tussle and a tremendous
side wrench that would have uprooted a lamp-
post.
But the other man didn't budge.
There was a roar from all hands, and the
champion backed off from his opponent and
looked at him with an astonished expression
that was as good as a play.
Weli, 1 11 be be blowed!" he muttered,
and taking off his coat and vest he rolled up
his sleeves with an expression that meant a
cold day and a slippery evening for the other
man. Quick as lightning he caught his favor-
ite necklock on the blacksmith, and twisting
his shoulders under tho little man's chin, give
a heave that would have sent an ordinary man
through the celling.
But the other man never budged.
After some frightful efforts, Muldoon
dropped his hold with a scared expression, and
staggering over to a chair, wiped his face.
4 Boys," said the athlete, huskily, 44 this lets
me out. My heart's broke. I'll never wrestle
anymore." And amid tho 44joshing" of his
friends he led the party back to his quarters
and set up the wine.
While the crowd was pouring down the
Reoderer, and grinning at each other like hy-
enas digging up a missionary, the bulldozed
champion stepped out to see what had become
of the blacksmith. As he entered one door of
the saloon he saw his opponent walking out of
the other in his stocking feet. In the middle
of the room stood a huge pair of laced brogans.
They were screwed to the floor.
val.edictory of an Arkansas editor: ""We
do not leave this community with any regret.
We are glad to go. We have not received
due patronage from this town, consequently
we are pleased to throw up the journalistic
sponge. It is the custom for editors to say that
they part with their contemporaries with re-
gret. We do not. We aro devilish glad to
quit. We have been branded as a thief, and
it has been proved that we are a thief, conse-
quently we have no regrets at parting. Those
who owe us are expected to settle at their
earliest convenience. Those whom we owe
must wait."
Sitting Bull is in poor health. He says;
" I have been offered much money to travel
and to be present at the Cincinnati exposition,
but I never traveled on the cars, and fear that
to do so would make me sick, l now have a
lung disease, and fear that in a short while I
shall go to my fathers; therefore the little time
that is spared me I want to spend with my
children, whose sight delights me. I have ten
children and many relatives, who want mo to
stay with them. I also fear if I trusted my-
self from home that the whites would starve
me, or that I would die before returning."
One pawnbroker in New York says that ir

taloons, of which number he sold o0,0u0 and
40,000 were redeemed.

A correspondent of the San Antonio Light
writes: Jack was found in the woods near
Lytle station on the International, south of
San Antonio, by Mr. T. M. McDauiel, some
time last summer, and preseuted by that gen-
tleman to Mr. E. S. Bellamy, agent for the
International at that station. He was supposed
to be about three weeks old when caught.
Jack is neither more nor less than a javelim-
or young wild hog. Mr. Bellamy had thej^vivi-
osity and patience to try his training sldll on
him. and on application he found hit^ an apt
scholar. Mr. Bellamy commenced/^his first
lessons by giving him a name. It inquired but
few lessons to learn Jack his name,And he gave
the strongest pro hi that he wasjfaell pleased
with his high-flown title. Ofteifhe would be-
come stubborn in his lessons, vfnen Mr, Bel-

Horrible Suffering-.
St. Johns. N. F., September 19.—'The French fish
ing schooner Mercury, which arrived at St. Pierre,
last night, from the Grand bauks, picked up on the
10th two Newfoundland fishermen— Walsh and Mat-
thews—in a dory, having been six days adrift with-
out food or water. They became delirious aud
opened their veins and sucked the blood to quench
the terrible thirst. They were so helpless that they
had to 08 hoisted aboard the vessel with a rope.
The Mercury also brought Captain Hiscock and
three of the crew of the wrecked Newfoundland
banker Mediana. They knew nothing of the bal-
ance of the cavy.

Interstate Educational Convention.
Louisville. September 19.—The Interstate Edu-
cational convention met thi3 morning in Walnut
Street Baptist church. 14U delegates being present,
representing twenty-three States, from Massachu-
setts on the east to California on the west, aud
Louisiana on the South. Gentlemen present are
representative men and warmly enlisted in the
educational advancement of the entire country.
The convention was called to order by Professor
William Chenault, dean of the law department of
the University of Louisville.
Judge Wm. M. Becknor. of Kentucky, through
whose energy the convention was assembled, was
unanimously chosen temporary chairman.
Mavor Charles D. Jacob, of Louisville, delivered
an address of welcome, to which Hon. John Eaton,
United States commissioner of educa-
tion, responded. It; was a happy coinci-
dence, he said, to come to Kentucky at
this time when the State can be congratulated on
its recent great step forward in the cause of educa-
tioh. An additional tax has been voted and
race distinction disregarded. It is also for-
tunate that they met at a time when the city is hav-
ing: so remarkable an exhibition of art, industry and
agriculture. It is well that the managers of the
exposition have not forgotten the cause of educa-
tion. but have provided for an exhibit of an educa-
tional character, so as to show the rela-
tion of education to art and industry.
Then, too. this is an especially favorable
time for the convention, because there is such
great and general interest throughout the country
in the cause of education. All over the United
States people are interested deeply in the care of
children, as a means of carina: for the future. Our
citizens everywhere are realizing the truth of Vic-
tor Hugo's sentiment, that Providence says to
each parent and each teacher; "To you I
intrust the cares and future of this child."
Problems of labor, of capital, and problems
of localities which must lie solved in the near fu-
ture, must be solved by education. Education
must elevate labor; education must prevent law-
less nes by the elevation of intellect and soul. Ed-
ucation is the only thing which will prove a key to
the mighty problems of state which are now arous-
ing the apprehensions of philosophers. Education
makes more competent citizens and better men.
The speaker returned thanks to the people of
Louisville, and expressed a hone that there would
be no disappointment as to the result of the con-
vention.
After discussion, it was decided that all persons
present interested in the objects of the convention
be declared delegates, but the votes will be taken
bj- States.
Judsre W. M. Becknor, of Kentucky, was unani-
mously chosen permanent chairman, and Major
William J. Davis secretary of the Board of School
Trustees of Louisville, secretary.
After completing the organization, the conven-
tion adjourned after adopting the following sched-
ule reported by the Committee on Programme:
1. The educational lessons of the census.
2. The education of the colored race.
3. Federal aid to education.
4. The best system of common schools under
State control.
5. The best means of awakening popular interest
in common schools.
AFTERNOON SESSION*.
Dr. Waite delivered an axhaustive address on
the educational lesson?; of the ceusus, which occu-
pied the greater part of the time of the convention.
It was received with the highest expressions of ap-
proval. the chairman of the convention character-
izing it as a splendid paper, one of the best ever
read before a like body.
At its conclusion the convention adjourned until
10 a. m. to-morrow.
Among the delegates are fifteen colored men,
one of whom, Professor W. J. Simmons, of Ken-
tucky, is appointed to open the discussion of the
subject relating to the education of his race.
Chips from Chicago.
Chicago. September 19.—The Board of the Pres-
byterian General Assembly, for the aid of educa-
tion, were in annual convention here to-day. Most
of the session was occupied in the consideration of
application for aid from Western colleges, notably
those at Salt Lake, Utah; Hastings, Neb.; and
Pierre, Dak.
A reunion of the society of the United States
Military Telegraph corps began here to-day. The
morning was devoted to the routine business of the
meeting. Iu the afternoon the members took a
carriage ride about the citj-. In the even-
ing a banquet was held at the Grand Pa-
cific hotel, in coniuuctiou with the Veteran Civilian
Telegraphists. To-morrow forenoon 'another such
business meeting will be held, at which it is under-
stood action will be taken looking to securing: the
recognition of this branch of the service from Con-
gress. The annual convention of general passen-
ger and ticket agents was concluded this afternoon.
The business was chiefly of a routine nature. It
was decided to place Florida tourists tickets, good
for six months, on sale October 15 at the rate of
4Uj cents per mile for the round trip, and cents
per mile one way. via the Short line.
A committee of fifteen was appointed to con-
sider and report at the next semi annual meeting
on the practicability of establishing a rate bureau,
having such jurisdiction as may be agreed to make
all through rates for the entire country, the ex-
penses to be divided among the lines on a basis of
revenue. The question of restoring all rates to the
schedule on the first act was again brought
up and put to an aye and no vote. Of sixty eight
lines represented fifty-three voted aye. The re-
mainder declined to vote. Of this number oil were
Western roads, except one. The names of those
declining to vote were not obtained. No new cut
has been made in the passenger-rate war. Between
Chicago and Louisville the rate remains $4 50.
During the session a committee was sent out to
invite General Grant and Senator Logan to address
the body. The former was not found. General
Loaran was brought in, however. He said:
In his experiences as an officer he had never
known telegraphers neglect or otherwise fail to do
their duty, and closed by assuring his hearers if he
could, at any time, be of service to them, he would.

mittee of the unti-machine Republicans adopted
resolutions denouncing the proclamation of the
machine organization that its doors were open to
all Republicans as a sham, and declaring the late
primaries were conducted according to the usual
machine methods, and that only live out of the
eighty delegates elected are independents. They
conclude by stating that, while they are loyal Re-
publicans, they do not hold themselves bound to
obey the orders of this "gang of political frauds."
A copy of the resolutions will be forwarded to the
State convention.

stockholders of the Florida Ship Canal aud Transit
company it was resolved that the board of direc-
tors be authorized to make a contract for the con-
struction of the canal, and issue stock and first

directors also appointed a committee to invite pro-
posals for the construction of the canal and tele-
graph line of the company. Proposals were sub-
mitted to the executive committee. It is under-
stood that a number of such proposals for the work
of the canal are ready to be submitted by respon-
sible parties.

the railway mail service covention was called to
order. A number of substitutes were offered for

CONVENTIONS.
Maryland State Democratic Conven-
tion—Proceeding's and Incidents-
Baltimore, September 19.—The Democratic
State convention met at noon to day.
Ex-Governor Philip Francis Thomas was chosen
temporary chairman.
Governor Thomas addressed the convention,
counseling forbearance, wisdom and a sole retrard
for the public interest in its deliberations. Com-
mittees on credentials, permanent organization
and resolutions were appointed, and the conven-
tion took a recess for liali an hour.
The convention reassembling, the following ti?ket
was nominated: Robert M McLane. for governor;
Charles B. Roberts, for attomej--general; I. Frank
Turner, for comptroller.
The platform being adopted, the Democratic
party of Maryland, in State convention as-
sembled,-resolves as follows:
The election for executive officers of the State to
be held in November this year is of momentous
importance, because it will determiue the policy
and control of the legislature of the State until
1884, and will exert a decisive influence upon the
vote of the State at the presidential election in
1884. The declaration of the election of Hayes
and Wheeler in 1870 to the office of presi-
dent and vlce-presidect of the United States has
brought about frauds consummated itnder forms
of law.and methods used in the election of Garfield
and Arthur in 1880 have been apt »ved by crea-
tures who aid ovil works, if possible, more dis-
creditable than those adopted by their fel-
lows in 1*7(1. The national Republican par-
ty of the country lias, during its tenure
of power, made a public land spoil
of favored corporations. It has squandered the
money of the country by maintaining hordes of
idle, profligate and incapable placemen. It has not
during its tenure of power in its tariff legislation
given that just and equal protection to the indus-
tries of the country which it ought to have afforded,
but Las, on the contrary, made the masses of
the people pay from their earnings enormous
bounties of favored monopolies. It has broken up
commerce in the United States in vessels carrying
the national flag. It has appointed unworthy men
who planned and executed frauds perpetrated In
the presidential election- of !8?d and 188i>, to deal
with the patronage of the government and with
public money in the treasury if these
great trusts were spoils of the enemy's camp.
REPTJBLICAIT CONVENTION.
A Fclitical Chapter from Massa-
chusetts.
Boston, September 19.—The Republican State
convention was called to order at 11 o'clock. Chair-
man L-dge, of the State Central <. ommittee, was
chosen temporary chairman, and after prayer by
Rev. Orvia P. Gittor addressed the convention.
At the conclusion cf l odge's address, the usual
committee and permanent officers were appointed.
Charles R. Codmar. was chosen president" aud on
taking the chair, addressed the contention at con-
siderable length, his remarks being chiefly in re-
ference to the present governor. He reviewed the
Tewksbnry affair, and said: "One man has led
this crusade against the fair fame of Massachu-
setts — a man conspicuous always, of
great audacity, of ready wit, of volu-
ble and copious speech, and of restless
personal ambition: a man < f national notoriety.
Surely if not of national reputation, who has often
solicited and sometimes attained the votes of the
people, but who has never been able to retain them
long—a legislator identified with congressional
raids upon the treasury: a politician who has pro-
posed to the people of the United States to repu-
diate their honest debts, and so to make their great
and solvent couutry a byword among the nations
of the earth; a major-gen ral whose most valuable
services were as provost marshal, and never a
leader of men; and whose successes were those of
a sutler and not a strategist.
His references to Butler's political and military
record and national notoriety were loudly ap-
plauded by the delegates. He was given three
cheers when he concluded.
After the transaction of some routine business
the convention took a recess until 2 o'clock.
Kobinson ITominatea.
Boston, September 19.—Robinson was nominated
for governor on the first ballot, having 996 votes
out of 11GS.
On ballot for lieutenant governor, Oliver Ames
had 775 out of 1097.
To-day at 2 o'clock the convention reassembed.
President Codman stated that of 1309 delegates
elected all but twelve are present to-day and every
city aud town in the commonwealth represented.
Senator Dawes submitted a platform recom-
mended by the Committee on Resolut.ons as fol-
lows:
PLATFORM.
In presenting to the people of Massachusetts its
candidates for State offices, the Republican party
do not deem it necessary this year to offer any for-
mal statement of political "principles. Its prin-
ciples have often been declared.
iu national affairs we believe in equal rights and
a fairly counted vote; a thoroughly pure and re-
formed civil service, beyond the reach of
party conflicts; a sound currency, based on
an honest specie dollar; a liberal, but in
nowise extravagant or wasteful expenditure: a
largely reduced taxation and wise and well ma-
tured laws to protect aud develop American indus
try ami enterprise, both at home and on the ocean.
We indorse the administration of President Ar-
thur as wise, conservative and patriotic.
As respects State affairs, we continue to be
lieve in widely diffused education, even
the higher standard, temperance legisla-
tion and extended suffrage, equal taxa-
tion, au intelligent recognition of the rights
of labor as well as capital, and we can take uo
step backward in regard to those philanthropic,
charitable aud educational institutions in constant
development in which our beloved commonwealth
has been foremost.
All these things we have manj* times asserted
and we appeal to the gradual and steady progress
unmistakably apparent through the records of the
last quarter of a century, both in the State and na-
tion. Asa proof that we have not asserted this in
vain, we stand ready to assert them now and main-
tain them also.
Meanwhile we do not believe in that political
charlatancy which makes a business of sham re-
form. indiscrimately treating great moral and
humanitarian questions, public offices and public
issues as counters in a game, the sole end of which
is one man's political preferment. Neither can we
patiently see the methods of political corruption,
unknown here before.introduced into our State and
municipal governments. Unless checked here
and now, these methods will surely
bring the politics of Massachusetts to a level
which we have seen elsewhere and have not been
slow to vigorously denonounce. This j'ear, there-
fore, the work of reform for us begins at home.
The issue is well understood.
We propose to blot out, in so far as we may, the
record of the most discreditable year in the history
of the State. It is a time not for many words, but
for decisive actiQu. We present, therefore, our
candidates as men, simply pledged, if elect-
ed, to carry the administration of affairs
back to those better days when our public
men were not the first to traduce the
State, but if the State were traduced by others
they were ready t j stand up, as did Webster, say-
ing. with honest pride: *4 Massachusetts, there
she is! Behold her! Judge for yourselves."
The platform was unanimously adopted.
A committee on counting the ballots reported
the whole number of ballots 1108. Necessary for a
choice 585: Henry B. Pierce, 1; A. W. Beard, 1;
A. H. Rice, 1: Rufus S. Frost, 1; B. W. Harris, 2;
Charles R. Codman, 3; Henry C. Lodge, 5: Thomas
Talbot, t>: George R. Bruce, 35: Charles F. Adams,
Jr.. 117; George D. Robinson, 9J3.
The result was received with vociferous ap-
plause.
New "STork Republicans.
Richfield Springs, September 19.—Mr. Tro-
maine, of New York, nominated Ethan Allen for
state treasurer as the choice of the united New
York delegation.
Pliny T. Sexton, of Wayne, was named by Henry
R. Durfee.
Luther Caldwell, of Chemung, named Wm. J.
Larmore, of Elmira.
The weather is beautiful. The large morning in-
flux of delegates and visitors filled the hotels to
overflow ing and gave the village a very lively ap-
pearance. Caucusing with reference to a new
state committee has been very active during the
morning, aud most of the congressional delegations
have held preliminary meetings.
The place of meeting is a temporary frame struc-
ture or wigwgm in the spacious and pretty grounds
of the Spring hotel, which was erected at the cost
of the villagers.
E. A. Lapham was unanimously chosen tempo-
rary chairman. He was receeived with applause
and addressed the convention.
Upon taking the chair Mr. Lapham said:
We have met at a moment of great interest in
the history of Republicans, and if we are faithful
to our trust, we shall organize victory here to-day.
Politically, host year was our Bull-run (laughter);
but if we are faithful this year will prove our Gettys-
burg and Appomattox. I Applause.] What Charles
S. Benton once characterized as the tumultuary
democracy of the ."Mississippi valley is now
the seat of our Republican stronghold and a
tumultuary democracy are found iu the State of
New-York. How could it be otherwise with dis-
tihet rival bodies in our commercial-^reat city,
each refusing to surrender its organization aud
each determined to send a full delegation to the
convention at Buffalo? The result is that the idol
of a year ago has been cast down, and is almost
literally trodden under foot in his own home.
[Laughter.]
He referred at some leugth to national affairs,
and closed by stating that by wise and harmonious
action the success of the Republican party would
be complete.
After the appointment of the usual committees
and transaction of routine business, the convention
took a recess until 3 o'clock.
THE PLATFORM.
Following is the platform adopted hy the Repub-
lican Sc4te convention:
The Republicans of New York in State conven
tion hold that the record of the Republican party
in the past affords tho best guarantee of the pur-
pose and acts in the future. The preservation of
the nation's life, extension of freedom, and equal
r.ghts to embrace all the keeping of
the national faith: promotion of national
credit, payment of public debt, reduction of taxa-
tion, protection of home industries, the elevation
of labor, purification of the civil service, aud in
fine an administration policy based on wise legisla-
tion that has given unexampled prosperity to the
country and promoted the happiness and progress
of the people, are achievements that commend the
Republican party to continued popular favor"
We rejoice in the wis lorn and success of President
Arthur's administration of the affairs of the gov-
ernment, which command universal respect
throughout the country , and he has the confidence
and support of the Republicans of the State of New
York.
Our senators and representatives in Congress
have our thanks for their part in the reduction of
internal taxation to the extent of $40,000,000, while
the national credit is k^pt unsullied. The public
debt is being steadily reduced and the defenders of
the national iii'e are justly the recipients of a grate
ful republic's bounty.
We approve honesty and fidelity in government
expenditures; the reduction of interest on the pub-
lic debt, and th* payment of the debt as rapidly as
may be without unduly burdening the people; the
bringing of taxation within the lowest practicable
limits: the reduction of the force of public officials
to the lowest number consistent wit'a the require-
ments of the service, and the adaption of every
practicable means that will diminish tho burdens
of taxation.
We rejoice in the successful inauguration of civil
service reform —a result of Republican agitation—

ter the government are demonstrated in the con-
duct of the latter in legislation, where a two-thirds
Democratic.majority was false to its pledge and to
♦he public interests by reckless partisanship and
insatiate greed for office.
The Democratic party brought it into public con-
tempt. Its special legislature to make places for
partisans and its increase of the salaried list to re-
ward favorites, brought upou it public execration.
The utter disregard of important public interests
and its increase of State taxation are offenses not
to be condoned. The course pursued is
its cowardly attempt to evade the
responsibility of affirmative action on
the contract labor question, and Co shirk the
isaue directly present. In their platform the De-
mocratic State Convention has a distrust of the
people and a contempt of workingmen. It is the
duty of the people to rescue the legislature
from the control of an incompetent ana
faithless party and from being the sport
of place hunters and to secure the continuance of
an economical efficient and satisfactory adminis-
tration of the state departments b\' the election of
a ticket for State officers, this day placed in nomi-
nation.
The ticket nominated is as follows: Secretary of
state. General .loseph B. Carr: comptroller, Ira
Davenport: State treasurer, Pliny T. Sexton; state
engineer and survevor. Silas Seymour; attorney-
general, Leslie W. Russell.

THE VILLAHD PARTY.
A Section Dined and "Wined—An
Extraodinary Speech.
Chicago, September 19.—A special from Vic-
toria, B. C., says the uewspaper section of the
Villard party arrived there on tne steamer North
Pacific." On their arrival the principal resident
members of the provincial government of British
Columbia were invited to lunch on board the
vessel, including Hon. Wm. Smith, prime minister
Hon. John Robeson, provincial secretary and
minister of finance; Mr. Redfern, mayor of Yic
toria: and Mr. Fraucis, American consul.
In responding ^to a toast, The Queen, his host
felt that Premier Smith transcended the bounds of
international politeness aud abused their hospital
ity. He said the annexation of any part of the
British Columbia to the United States was impossi-
ble, but that time would reverse the order and cer-
tainly cause the annexation of part of the
Pacific coast of the United States to
British Columbia, with its vast deposits
of coal, exhaustless timber, unparalelled
harbors, illimitable wheat fields and a new type of
men and women, of unapproachable physique. Of
the latter, he pointed to it as a place where the
star of the empire would reach its zenith. Throu["
British Columbia lay a pathway of the Asiatic
trade, 1000 miles shorter than by way of San Fran
cisco, which had about reached its limit, and Port
land could carry across tho bars of Columbia river
Asia's magnificent commerce.
Continuing, he said: It is a matter of deep con
viction with me and of many others who * have
attentively considered the drift of affairs In the
United States that that country can notcontinue un-
divided. Its elements of population are of too varied
interests, its different sections are too diverse. The
day will come when it must go to pieces, and when
that day comes British Columbia will-be glad to
take into her arms that fragment of it which is her
natural neighbor.
Chicago, September 19.—A small section of the
Yillard excursion party reached this city this
morning, including General Graut, Hon. Wm. M
Evarts, Frederick Billings, ex-president of the
Northern Pacific road, General Newton, General
McFeely and Jesse Grant.
ROACH'S STATEMENT.
doubtless arose from hasty copying in some distant
office, as the letter was correctly transmitted from
here.
There is the best authority for stating that both
the war department and the interior department
have the highest confidence in General Crook, and
are in complete harmony in wishing and furthering
the ends of his earnest endeavors to pet a stop to
Apache ouirages in Arizona.

and national progress, aud insist that the work thus
auspiciously begu#sl
success
rshall be prosecuted to complete
We favor a system of tariff laws under which
while a revenue for government is provided,
American producers are justly protected, Ameri-
can labor elevated, arid home markets
are secured to home products for the
advantage alik3 of producer and laborer.
We favor the removal of all unjust burdeus upon
American shipping aud the awarding of ocean mail
contracts to the lowest bidders among owners of
American vessels after open competition.
We favor the establishment by Congress of a na-
tional bureau of labor statistics with the object of
promoting the industrial, social and sanitary cou-
ditions of the people.
We favor the surrounding of primary meetings,
as well as popular elections, with the security of
honesty and purity as indispensable Requisites
to correct political action. The tendency to create
monopolies requires checking by adequate legisla-
tion. Unjust discrimination in transportation should
be prohibited and violation of chartered privileges
justices the interruption of the State to correct
evils thus engendered. Taxation should be equal-
ized and its burdens bo borne proportionately by
real and personal property, and the policy of tax-
ation of corporations is approved on the text of its
practical operation.
The free-canal policy of this State has, in prac-
tice, justified its adoption by restoring the canals
to their usefulness; by bringing to the State in-
creased commerce; by assuring to it the continu-
ance of commercial supremacy.
We approve the plan of party reorganization In
the city of New York, and recommend that it be
persisted in to the end that it shall embrace all Re-
publicans in the city on equal terms and footing.
We believe in the wisdom of the people in de-
ciding all questions pertaining to the public welfare,
and wouid accede to the desire of a large body of
our citizens to submit to the voters of the State a
constitutional amendment in regard to the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors.

Facts aud Figures iVbout Naval Af-
fairs and Ship-building'.
New York, September 19.—The American Pro-
tectionist will publish to-morrow the statement of
John Roach relative to the recent history of the
American navy and merchant marine, in response
to questions put^to him by the Senate Committee
on Education aud Labor. It shows in detail the
na* al expenditures since 1800, and gives a summary
of all naval contracts with American ship-builders.
Mr. Roach claims that his figures are ail newly col
lected from official European and Ameri
can records, never before published, and that
they establish the responsibility of England for the
falsification of Secretary Seward's prophecy of
speedy suppression of the rebellion. He gives
list of twenty-three English blockade runners cap
tured iu the early part of the war, which were
loaded with munitions of war to the value of
$0,000,000.
The navy, improved during the war, cost $84,000,
000, and the materials and vessels were sold for
$3o.000,000, leaving net cost of the war navy about
S47.000,000. In the eighteen years since the war
the United States spent for new naval vessels only
$3,000,000, while England spent $150,000,000; France,
S88,000,003; Russia. $35,000,000; Italy, $32,000,000
Germany, $3?,OOC.OCO; Turkey, $17,000,0o0; Brazil.
$10,000,000, aud Chili. $7,000,000. All for iron-clads
in all over $400,0ou,utX) expended by naval and com
mercial rivals.
Mr. Roach gives a list of all American naval con
tracts, aud says the new cruisers will be finished
promptly and cheaply.

from some who are more distant. These consulta-
tions lead to the conviction that little can be ac-
complished after October 20, when there are but
few hours daylight In that region. The danger of
wrecking a new relief party in its attempt to
reach Upernavik is estimated to be far greater than
should be incurred for the chance of rendering
any aid to Lieutenant Greeley. From Upernavik
no aid could be given, except by sledg-
ing, and this is regarded as totally
impracticable. Lieutenant Greeley's case fs
regarded as by no means hopeless. ~ He has tho
ad van'age of daylight in which to move if he left
bis station as ordered no later than September 1.
The day, it is said, which would be lost iu outfitting
vessel and in a voyage to Greenlaud will
be utilized by him. Arriving at Cape
Sahine not far from September 15. per-
haps earlier, he will learn of Garlington s
disaster and determine on his plans for the inter.
If he attempts to move south upon the Danish set-
tlements he has 740 rations at Cape Sabine. 710
more oil an island in its vicinity west of Brevourt
island, and 240 at Littleton island, sufficient with-
out retrenchments, for forty-eight days for his
command.
But it is said he may choose to regain Lady Frank-
lin bay, over a distance of about 250 miles. There
he had more than a year's supply of the best as-
sorted food, including breadstuffs, canned
meats, fruits, vegetables, chocolate, coffee,
milk, preserves. sauces, and also light
fuel and shelter. For his journey northward he
would have at Cape Sabine and west of Breevourt
some thirty days food at starting, and on his road
depots at reasonable distances, which he will not
have emptied on his way down to Cape Sabine.
Of these depots, there were at Cape Hawks over
a two months supply: ten days at Cape Collinson;
and ten at Core Bitter bay. From one to another
of these he can travel comparatively light and sure
to find plenty on his return to Lady Franklin bay.
He can not fail to know that the most earnest
efforts would be made to release him next year,
and plans will at once be prepared to put on foot
au expedition, which, it is said, will meet all the
wishes of the most anxious friends of the party
from the Naval academy for hazing.

Washington. September 19.—The following let-
which is self-explanatory, was scut from the
postoQiee department to-day:
Department. Washington. September
H)- lo Washington !». Merchant. Postmaster, New
Orleans. La.—Sir: Since y<m were instructed
to deliver no reffisterrd letit-rs reach in? your office
addressed lo M. A !>aupbin and to redeem no mo-
ney orders payable to him, he lias directed an ad-
vertisement inserted in certain newspapers that all
registered letters intended f«>r tiini aud concerning
ice Louisiana Slate Lottery addressed to the
New Orleans Nation4*! bank,' at New Orleans. an>l
that all moneys sent to your orders for Ids benefit
and coucerniu? the business of the same lottery be
mad*1 payable to tne said bank.
I am in possession of trustworthy information
that Uifs bank has and is still receiving through
your office registered letters and money orders for
the purposes of 31. A. Dauphin in pursuance of his
published directions.
This ts a defiant scheme on the part of M. A.
Dauphin and the New Orleans National bank to
evade the orders which have been addressed to you
by the postmaster-general in pursuance of the
statutes of the United States, intended to protect
the mails and the public against a business which
is vicious and immoral, and which in the main
preys upon the ignorant and credulous. This bank
can not be permitted t "> stand in the shoes of M.
A. Dauphin and thus enable him to accomplish by
indirection what he is not allowed to do directir.
Hereafter, therefore, you will deliver to the New
Orleans National bank no registered letters, nor
redeem anv money orders payable to it. but deal
with the same as directed by the department on
November 13, 1ST9.
This order will be revoked whenever the bank
jrives sat:sfactory evidence it has abandoned the
above scheme. Very respectfully,
W. Q. Oresham,
Postmaster-General.

An Srror in I3is Letter of August*
Washington, September 19.—The secretary of
war has received a letter from General Crook, ask-
ing that inquiry be made as to omissions in the
published copy of his letter of August 17th last.
Some of the telegrams made General Crook say,
in referring to the Chiricahua prisoners, that they
surrendered with the understanding that their past
misdeeds would not be punished, provided they
behaved themselves in future: whereas he
wrote that it was with this understand-
ing on their part. He was thus made
to contradict his repeated statements that he had
refused the Indians to guarantee their safety from
punishment. General Crook's account of the mat-
ter was clear to the secretary of war and the secre-
tary of the interior. When here he stated that
while he had ,.vade this refusal it was difficult, if
not impossible, io make the Indians understand
that he could not Control matters. His statement,
as written is entirely consistent with what he said
here.
This omission, with other charges less important.
