The Plumed Knight Holds the Colonel Responsible for the Publication of the Blaine Marriage Scandal During the Recent Campaign — Morton's Friends Retaliate. By Telegraph to the Post-Disvatch, Wasuineton, D. C., May 19.—The statement is published from here, with some appearance of authority, that Col. Charles Morton, who is being urged for the Postmastership of Augusta, Me., will be refused that appointment, “in deference to the strongly expressed widhes of Mr. Blaine.” It is explained that the ground of Mr.Biaine's strenuous hostility to Mr. Morton is that he holds that gen- tleman responsible for the publication, during the last campaign, of the articles referring to Mr. Blaine’s marriage and the scandals attending it. The particular controversy as to Col, Morton's ap- pointment is thus obviously invited by Mr. Blaine and his friends, and it is both proper and in the in- terest of truth and justice that all the facts as to that episode be now made public. As to Cok. Morton’s business capacity aud fitness for the piace, the President can only decide by the tes- timony of his neighbors in Augusta; but as to the exact basis of Mr. Blaime’s personal objection to him, not only the President, but the people at large, should be fully informed. The facts herewith given are now for the first time made public. The commission of Joseph Manley, Postmaster of Augusta, will expire on Wednesday next. It is reasonably certain thata change willbe made. It is absolutely certain that a change ought to be made, In the whole range of federal office-bolders there is no man who was and is more conspicuously an of- fensive partisan” than Postmaster Manley of Augusta. He has long been the most active politi- cal man in the State—Mr. Blaine's chief lieu- tenant in the Republican machine. The Post Office bas been practically the headquarters of the Re- publican party. Mr. Manley'’s charge of the office has been merely nominal The great portion of ‘his time is GIVEN UP TO POLITICAL WORK. He is chairman of the Republican State Committee. He was absent from his post for six or seven weeks in September and Os r last, managing Mr. Blaine’s tour through Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wis- consin and New York. He is personally an over- bearing, rough avd vulgar politician of the worst type, skillful in all the worst methods of politics. There is not a community in the country where there has reigned a more vigorous political tyranny that in this same city of Augusta, with Mr. Biaine for its head and the Postmaster for his lieutenant. For years Manley has stood at Mr. Blaine's back-door, ready to do his bidding. The Augusta Post Office is the most important in the State. Owing to the fact that several large pub- lishing houses are located there, the force ef clerks employed is out of all proportion to the size of the ay ae has been — these — as much or political purposes as for goverumeut purposes. A many ot them ought to be in the State 82 tor bribery at the polls. A man could not a prominent Democrat in Augusta without bein injured in his business. They even ina against a barber, named Savage, because he would not vote the Repubiican ticket. It has been the custom in Mr. Biaine’s little kingdom of Augusta to 2 —.— man hunted up, located politicauy. —2 a Democrat, haaged 4 speaking. Maney and his horde Fost.

Morton became its The Augusta Democrats, par- were tiy made public at the time. Mr. Cleveland was nominated for the Presidency on July 11. Some intimations of this scandal there arrived at Augusta by the first tram Colonel Zimro A.

By that negative the inscription read as fol- lows ugust isa Stanwood was a descendant in a direct line from the o% the 72 record upon the tomb of thelr eldest child made his birtn in June, 1851. That the! figure chipped from the marble was the figure 1, hundreds of persons in this city who have seen an noted the inscription during the past thirty-one years will testify. Iam not drawing any inference, Lam stating absolute facts, and state them becau-e with amazing audacity the Blaine organs have been charging the mutilation upon Democrats, 1 have been charged with the mfamous act of mu- tiilating. it for political purposes. How utteriy preposterous on the very face. Whether Or not that inscription was the mistake of the stone cutter, left on for thirty-ibree years, it would have been obviously to the interest of apy person wishing to use the facts against Mr. Blaine to leave the inscription as it was, it was as obviously 10 the interest of a person wishing to correct the mis- take or to suppress the record to himseif effect toe mutilation, It is absurd to argue this question, and it is only in keeping with Mr. Blanes despotic ex- periments that ne should instruct the organs to © sensational accusations which must necessar- ily bring out the true facts. “The New York Tribune was,during the campaign, j Mr. Biaine’s metropolitan organ. The K*hnebeo Journal, of Augusta, was practically edited oy his! priyate secreiary, Mr. Sherman. These two news-' papers simultaneously published an account of the! mutilation of the tombstone, charging tnat the work was done by Democrats. The charge was made one of the features of the campaign oy the Republican papers and speakers generally. [ibe Tribune printed SENSATIONAL DISPATCHES. from Augusta, in oue ot which reference was made to Col. Morton, in such terms that the allusion was well understood in Augusta: At is Knewh that two hectograpbic negative places of the defaced tom were taken suortiy after the perpetration of the vandalism, by au artist here, aud that copies were sent away. Bota nega- fives are still nere in the ion of one of the pubiisners of a Democratic newspaper, a mau who is violentiy hostile to Mr. Blame. He has not hesitated to show copies of the negative to numerous authors of tunis vandal outrage statement of two laborers ethyra very bot day in July, aft- Mr. Blaine oP work and then left by tue same gate. remarked at the time that it was very Mr. Blaine should select such a day and such an hour to visit the grave of a child dead thirty-one years, the only other connections of his buried there being his father and mother-in-law. Col. Morton made tne fact of these discoveries knowa about Augusta, and there was no wore taix of Democratic vandalism, and no more talk about prosecuting the perpetrators of the outrage. The whole subject was incoatinentiy dropped by the Kennebec Journal and the New Yor« Tr ibune. But these are the reasons for Mr. Blanes hostility to Col. Morton. MAUD s. — Artist Cross Painting a Pi fre of the Trotter for Mr. Vanderbilt. By Telegraph to the Post-Dtapaton. PHILADELPHIA, May 19.—Trainer Bair, who drives Maud S., sat ia the stable at Belmont Park yester day, near Maud S., while H. H. Cross of New York- had. | attended the discussions at Chicago. Un July 12, a painter of fast horses, sat a short distance off, painting on a piece of canvas, 54x72 inches, a pict- ure of the famous trotier and her driver. The piccure, which Artist Cross has been working at for nearly two weeks, will be finished in a week. It was ordered by W. H. Vanderbilt, Maud 8. former owner, and will be shipped to New York to him next week.

Bpect ablegram to the Post-Dispatch. 33 in Much interest is felt in the Crotter’s bill introduced in the House of Commons last night,but asthe Lord Advocate did not conclude his speech on the vill until after 8 this morning, time was found for only a_ brief speech in comment upon this by the member for Glasgow. He touched up the point which is sure to be the chief one attacked namely, the Government's refusal to unde r- take any legislation for providing the Crofters with more land. This is, perhaps, the best founded of all the Crofters’ grievances, the land having been fllched from them for years, bit by bit, by every pretext. 80 the Government's failure to attempt a remedy naturally causes opposition by the Radicals and Land Re- formers. Otherwise the bill is practically the same as the Irish Land Act, except, of course, that it does not permit a sale. , THE SPANISH TREATY. The failure to arrange a treaty with Spain be- cause of colonial difficulties isa God-send to the Government. A modification of the budget is now certain. Childers will remove the whole or part of the tax on beer and spirits, and place the tax upon wines, especially sherry, which is much drunk in England at present. THE IRISH MEMBERS. The conduct of the Irish members last night, who spoke at extreme length with- out cause or reason while the House was in committees? the supply bill, was an indication of their intention to oppose the Government in every possible way and extent till the provisions of the act are announced. This may serve much to prolong the session. Trevelyan said privately, yes- terday, that the Government had reached no de- cision on the subject of the Crimes Act. This means that a division of opinion in the Cabinet still exists and that it is serious. ‘HE RUSSO-AFGHAN NEGOTIATIONS. Besides the point relating to Zulfikar and a Rus- sian agent at Cabul, as previously cabled, a third subject of present discussion is the fortification of Herat by the English. The Ameer objects to the first point, England to the second, and Russia to the third. THE CONVICTION OF THE DYNAMITERS. The conviction of the dynamiters was expected by themselvesand the public. The general opinion is that these were not the principals, but tools intended to be captured, if anybody was. Both expressed in public and private their gratitude and satisfaction with the efforts and conduct of their lawyers, These make a total of twenty-four persons convicted of complicity in dynamite outrages. : GLADSTONE'S RETIREMENT. The Tory and Irish rudeness and inter- ruption of Gladstone last night was worse than ever. He was almost y it and silenced tor a moment. He fe. over what and his @ voice was husky. His w ae femeanor added strength to dis eri There is no doubt about his tirement being only a matter of weeks rather than months. In 1881 he declared his intention never to sit again in a Tory parliament. His retirement after the present session is possible, and even probable, as his health and spirits are @vidently growing worse, but he is rather given tocrying wolf about himself, so tha his words must not be taken as meaning anything specially definite on this occasion. ABANDONED THE RESERVED SEAT SYSTEM. Lonpox, May 19.—There was an immense audience at the Lyceum Theater last night to cele- brate the abandonment of the reserved seat system for the pit and gallery. Mr. Irving madea speech admitting that the change had been a mistake. HARCOURT TO BE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR. Sir Wm.

LIEUT. GARDINER UNDER ARREST. Hauwax, N. 8. May 19.—The inquiry of the naval authorities regarding H. M. 8. Garnet's ex- perience in New York Harbor is supposed to be cloged for the present. Vice Admiral Commerall favors sending to the Admiralty in London the papers regarding Lieut. Gardiner's action in releas- ing Boyton and the others captured in New York Harbor without taking them to Capt. Hand on board the Garnet. In the meantime Lieut. Gardi- ner remains under arrest on board his ship. The sentry on board the Garnet that night received forty-five days’ imprisonment, the severest punish- ment the captain oan give without referring the case toa court-martial. No other persons on the Garnet are held responsible in the matter, and no charges were preferred against the captain or any other person on board. The Dominion. 4 CROOKED DEPARTMENT CLERK.

Disnatohs ö SPRINGFIELD, III., May 19.— Nearly all of the morning session of the Illinois House of Represent- atives was spent in the discussion of & motion made by Mr. Linegar that the journal be corrected so as to show that ‘two bills which he introduced were made a special order for next Thursday. The Speaker had ordered the omission of the special order, because there was no quorum in the House on Saturday when it was made. Baker accused Haines of acting arbitrarily, The Republicans, in the main, stood by the Speakerand he was sus- tained by a vote of 80 to 51. The remainder of the morning seas ion, up to the time for the joint as- sembly, was devoted to.a discussion of the question of paying employes and directing the Speaker to sign the pay rolls. THE JOINT SESSION. When the two Houses assembled in joint session, the interest was intense. Political lobbyists and spectators crowded the galleries and the floor of the House to the utmost capacity. Every Senator responded Here“ to the call of the roll. Hilon A, Parker was the only member of the House ab- sent. He respondend on the call for absentees. and enthusiastic applause from both sides greeted the announcement that 204 members were present. The Speaker read a set of rules, of his own prep- aration governing the call of the rolls, which pro- vided that the names of absentees sball be called but once, and that any member who did not re- spond should have the right to vote at any time previous to the announcemeut of the result, and to change his vote at any time before the announce- ment, The rules were accepted by both sides. VOTED SOLIDLY FOR LOGAN. On the first call of the Senate roll every Repub- lican Senator voted for Logan. Ruger's vote caused a terrific outburst of applause from the Republican side. The Democrats did not vote. The Speaker announced that demonstrations would not be per- mitted. SITTIG’S VOTE. The wild yells and cheers which followed Sittig's vote for Logan lasted several minutes. Members mounted their seats and desks and threw books. papers, flowers and hats into the air and howled themselves hoarse. The Democrats had cast no votes before the announcement of the result. THE DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR TREE. The Republicans voluntarily waived the enforce- ment of the rule providing against a second call of the abséntses, and the Democrats began voting solidly for Tree. The Republican managers were exceedingly cautious and fearful that some one of there num- ber would change and defeat Logan's election. SITTIG S$ EXPLANATION. When Sittig's name was called on the House roll there was no response, and the Democratic steer- ing committee with difficulty restrained the ap- plause which started involuntarily. On the call of the absentees, Sittig asked permission to explain his vote, which he said he did with great reluc' ance. He read a lengthy address reviewiug his previous position and the causes which led him to take it. SITTIG VOTES FOR LOGAN. Sittig claimed that the pairing of his vote with the deceased, Shaw, opened the way for progress on both sides, and intimated that if he had not done what he did a Republican would not have been elected to succeed Shaw. He bitterly re- proached those who abused and insulted him and his family for pairing with Shaw, and said he was opposed to the political methods of Logan. He con- cluded by voting for Logan, which elected him. THE CHANGES IN THE VOTING. The suspense in which Sittig kept the Republicans and others, was kept up by che knowledge that the Democrats had prepared to play a smooth game on them by changing to Farwell. They feared thai a full Democratic vote for Farwell would catch more than one Republican. The change began as antici- pated, and a few had been made by the Democrats when Barry created a scene of pandemonium by changing from Tree to Logan, The excitement wag intense. ® GREAT CONFUSION. Amid the confusion it became evident that the two sides were laboring under a terrible strain, and that a very little spark would precipitate trouble. This became evident when the Speaker insisted that members should walk up to the Clerk's desk and vote. This brought forth flerce expressions from the Republicans and proceedings were sus- pended to allow order to be restored. Craft demanded the speaker's attention to Bar- ry’s request to be recognized, and Harry obtained the floor again. He said: I want to see everything done fairly and regularly. and I wish now to change my vote trom Logan to Lambart Tres, but I don't propose to help elect any other Republican. Be- fore 1 do that I will change my vote again to Logan.” The changing proceeded. DEMOCRATS VOTING FOR FARWELL. Dr. Mimam made an explanation of his change from a Democrat to a Republican, saying that it ground him terribly, but he said the fight has al- ready been lost to the Democrats, and he changed to Farwell. Barry then changed to Farwell. THE VOTE IN THE SENATE. In the Senate the announcement was made at 1:35 p. m. for Logan twenty-six, for Farwell twenty-one, Tree three. : : BARRY'S VOTE FOR LOGAN. Before the result in the House was announced, and while the verification of the roll was being read, Barry changed again to, Logan. CHANGES TO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. A few minutes later a change to Morrison began. Merritt explained that the Farwell scheme had failed because some of the other side, Lepublicans had made a bargain and failed to deliver the goods. Tes,“ said several Democrats to Merritt. “You failed to deliver them yourself.“ Merritt was roundly abused for the failure of the attempt to elect Farwell by drawing away some of Logan's strength. Then another change of front was made, and the Cierk was allowed to call the names of the Democrats again, so that they might all be recorded for Tree. Streeter went back to Black agam- Then the result in the Senate was again declared: Logan, 20; Tree, 24; Black, 1. THE ELECTION OF LOGAN. The resultin the House was declared: Logan, 77; Tree. 72; Schofield, 1; Hoxie, 1; Morrison, 1; Black, 1. Total vote: Logan, 103; Tree, 90; Hoxie, 1; Black, 8; Morrison, 1, and Schofield, 1. Total, 204, LOGAN THANKS THE REPUBLICANS. Fuller, Chapman and Duncan were appointed a committee to conduct Logan to the chair, and Logan exp@ssed his thanks to the Republicans for his third election to the Senate. THE SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT. At 2:30 p. m. the Assembly adjourned sine die, after a session of two hours and a half. the State was brought up under a suspension of the rules. After a long discussion the bill was passed by & vote of 8 to 8. It is one of the most mportant bills passed in the Senate this session.

O'Neil Secures a Renewal of Steamboat Mail Service. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINO TON, May 19.—Senator Joseph Blackburn ntends to leave for home next Wednesday. Eter since his interview with the President last week, Blackburn bas been in an uncertain mood. He went to the President with the distinct purpose of having a quarrel with him over the withdrawal of bis brother's appointment. The commission had been made and signed by Manning, when the Presi- dent stopped its being given to his brother. Black- burn was angry. If the President had been a hot- tempered or a hasty man there might have been quite a scene between him and the fiery-tempered Senator. The President gas so dignified and so cool that a scene was avoid Blackburn did say, bow- ever, when he went out, that he had no more favors to ask this Administrauon. To-day he emphasizes this declaration by addressing a letter to Secretary Bayard, asking him to strike his name off from every application for a place in the State Depart- ment, that he should not ask for favors there in the future, and, as a necessary consequence, he did not desire to have his name on the record. The fact of this letter being written soon became quite generally koown,, and it was said tnat Biackbur has written letters to other members of the Cabinet withdrawing ali bis applications for positions in their several de- partments. None of the other Cabinet officers knew anything about such letters, and Mr. Bayard refused to talk about his. His letter to-day seems to indicate a formal break with the Administration. This serious step is not indorsed by any of his associates from Kentucky. A weil known Ken- tuckian said: “Mr. Blackburn cannot afford to make an issue with the Presideut upon a question purely of patronage, much less can he aiford to make an issue upon the faiiure to appoint his brother. Ithink tnat the President was perfectly justified in withholding the commission from his brotuer. The people of Kentucky wul éspouse his cause. Mr. Blackburn will find tuat he will not be sustained at home. I regard this step as very foolish, The Senator's reset ment shows that he is lacking in good judgment." John J. O’Neil’s Successful Kiek. By Telegr aph te the Post-Dispatch. Wasuincton, D. C., May 19.—Representative John J. O'Neil had an interview with the Post Master General to-day concerning the packet mai . service between St. Louis and Grand Tower, which has thus far been very unsatisfactory and irregular, mails being delivered thrice, but oftener only twice a week: Last year Mr. O'Neil was promised by the depart- ment-that better facilities would be supplied when the contracts were awarded again, and his inquiries to-day were well timed. It was ascertain that because the packet companies had bid $5,400 for carrying the mails on this route, a distance of one hundred and twenty miles, that the Departinent had rejected this bid as excessive, and the peopie would be deprived of their mail as form- erly. To this Representative O'Neil démurred,and as a result. it was determined by the Postmaster-Gen- eral to commynicate with the packet company, in order to receive a reduction of their bid, and, if a favorable answer was received, then the coutract would be awarded as originally promised.

His play of “Marion de Lorme” was suppressed, and after 1830 was revived and was a success. Le Ro D Amuse,” brought out in 1882, was interdicted by the Government. Hugo was admitted to the Acadeny in 1841, and was created a peer of France by Louis Philippe. He was exiled in 1852 and lived in Jersey, Guernsey and else- where, refusing the general amnesty of August 15, 1859, and oxly returned to Paris at the fall of the Empire. He then took an active part in the Republican movement and was elected to the National Assembly at Bordeaux, He soon resigned. however. with disgust, and with a characteristic expression of contempt for the assembiy. T Belgian Government refused him a resideuce i Brussels ou account of his com- munistic eympathies and he made his residence in the little town of Vianden in Luxemburg, where he wrote ‘‘L’Aimee Terrible.“ He returned to Paris in 1871, and, accepting the mandat im- peratif? in tbe following elections, defeated by N.

A General Assignment in IIIInols is Good in This State. An important opinion was delivered this morning by Judge Thompson of the Court of Appeals in the case of William Zuppann, assignee of Claus Albens, against Louis 8 Bauer. The facts in the case were that Claus Albers, a resident of Illinois, brought suit against Louis C. Bauer in the Circuit Court on Jan- uary 18, 1882, to recover $474, a balance due on ac- count. Pending the trial Albers, on the 2d of October, 1883, made an assignment to Zuppann, who duly made a motion in court to be. substituted as plaintiff in the case. This was done, notwithstanding an objection was made to it at the time. On November 1, 1884, Zu ann as assignee obtained judgment against Bauer or $404 43 Before this judgment was rendered, and on or about December, 1 Morris Leftwich brought a suit by attachmens against Albers on a contract assigned to him by J, G.

St. Louis is not a dead-beat city. Se Grn. Jon A. LOGAN was to-day re-elected to the United States Senate, This a Senator- ship which the Democrats i on throwing away. That was no great feat, perhaps, but to throw it to LOGAN required systematic and persistent blundering of a brilliancy that has rarely been excelled. JUDGE CULLEN of New York has decided that he has no right to punish a man for swearing in a railroad depot. A beautiful test case could be furnished in St. Louis by attempting to pun- ish a man for swearing in the office of the St. Louis Gas Company after he had paid his bill. We do not believe the Judge could do it. THE contempt of court for which Judge Van Brunt fined Juror MUNSELL was not a cir- cumstance to the contempt which the press at large is heaping upon the court for its ignoble attempt to make a scapegoat of the jury and divert attention from the responsibility of the court itself for the miscarriage of justice in the Short case. 2 7 —— ae ee ee — THERE seems to be a half -smothered protest against the appointment of Dr. FULKERSON as Postmaster at Lexington, Mo., and the ground of the protest seems to be that Dr. FULKERSON gets the office and is to be permitted to farm it out because he belongs to the highly favored inner circle of the COCKRELL and EWING con- nection. They keep popping up in every direction. u - COLONEL SWITZLER denies that there was a string to his appointment as Chief Clerk of a Treasury bureau, and says confidently that he is to enter upon the duties of the position on the 24th inst. If Colonel 8. is connected with the right family by blood or marriage, there may be good ground for his confidence. Other- wise he may find that there is a string to his prize, and that there is a Ewixd hid out some- where in Khe brush with a good grip on the other end of the string. LAST year the Bartholdi Committee of New York sent out an agent who traveled in fine style through the country establishing local committees, his expenses being paid out of the money contributed for the pedestal. He or- ganized a committee in St. Louis of leading citizens,” who met, organized and adjourned. If they have collected any money for the pedestal we have not heard of it. They should at least raise enough to reimbursethe fund: for the somewhat lavish expenditures ot the glib gentleman whom they permitted to use their names. , — Mr. Pollock, the Republican postmaster of Coleridge, Nebraska, is having a lively time dodging the bullets which Mr. Joun BRIDEN- BAUGH and his friends occasionally send through the windows and walls of the post- office. Having the promise of that particular snuggery himself, and weary of waiting for the Administration to turn the rascals out, Mr. BRIDENBAUGH has undertaken to set the slow coaches at Washington an edifying example of executive energy. If the United States courts will only let him alone, Mr. BDR AUG will at least win the championship for zeal in creat- ing vacancies. | : SS Tux extradition and return of MAXWELL are matters under the control of the State and police authorities, and now that they have chosen their agénts there are obvious reasons for not having any outside interference in the case. Any third party, any conflict of author- ity, or even any question of a conflict can only help to thwart the ends of justice, de- feating the very purpose of sending out the agents of the law. We appreciate the motives which have moved a great many people to in- terest themselves in sending out Mr. McDon- ALD, but, inasmuch ashe cannot go with any official authority, the reason for adyocating his application has disappeared. — —— — Ir is sweet to know that Gen. Law WII LACE consented to stay another day and to take one more meal with the weeping Sultan, 8 after refusing all his enticing offers. The pnd the tails, or even the position of Grand Viaier, but could not utterly crush the heart that doted on him, nor incur the awful re- sponsibility of throwing the Caliph of Islam into an apopletic fit. According to the press dispatches of the last three years from Con- stantinople, the successor of the Prophet would rather have parted with all the Georgian and beauties of his harem than with this bright vision of Hoosier loveliness. Mn. Frank .O’Ner of the Post-DIsPATcH staff has been appointed a special agent of the State of Missouri to bring MAXWEIL back to stand his trial for the murder of PRELLER, and he leaves this evening for Washington to attend to the necessary arrangements with the rep- resentative of Great Britain. The selection of Mr. ONxII is an excellent one in every way, and he may be relied on to execute his mission with success. ‘Detective Tracy, who goes to Auck- land ag the representative of the Police De- partment, could not get a better man to stand by him, and there is every prospect that the loud demands of outraged justice in the great murder case will be fully satisfied. 1 — CAN it be that vulgar and illicit gambling is the corner stone of Trade's proud empire The prominent merchants and bankers of Louisville admit as much when they unite in a petition to the Mayor, imploring him to sus- pend the execution of the laws, invite the exiled gamblers back and permit them to re- open their keno and faro establishments. The petition avers that Louisville’s trade languishes from the suppression of these games; that the profuse expenditures of 200 professional gam- blers cannot well be spared, and that country merchants visit a city to have a frolic as well to buy goods. It seems to us that a city must be hard up when she has to depend upon her gambling hells and other unlawful resorts as her principal trade attractions, But it may be that Louisville’s customers are peculiar. In addition to conveying the weight of his horizontal tariff bill, Col. MoRRISON was heavily handicaped in his Senatorial race by the support of his venerable cousin, Don Mor- Rison. Cousin Don had long maintained a precarious standing on the outskirts of politics by telling the people of Missouri that he was considered a great statesman ‘‘over in Illinoy,” and by giving the people of Illinois to under- stand that he wielded a vast influence in Miz- zourah.” But last summer he was knocked out at the Uhrig’s Cave primary, the Democrats of the Eighteenth Ward wisely electing one of Maxon’s bob-tail car drivers to represent them in the nominating convention, and since then the alleged influence has been a minus quantity. One of BILL Morrison’s first measures in the next session will be a bill to organize a political retiring board, to retire all politicians who have outlived their usefulness. Mr. Jacop S. Greene of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, a well-known writer upon life insurance topics, returns · to the discussion of the tontine system in an article which will be found in another column. The question of the relative merits of the different systems of life insurance is not at all an abstract question. It is a question which comes home to the interests of widows and orphans in the most forcible manner and at a most critical time. The in- vestment in insurance policies now runs up into the hundreds of millions of do lars; it is one of the vast and valuable interests of modern society, and no one can afford to remain ig- norant of the principles which underlie life in- surance and of the requirements which give it soundness and value. We commend Mr. GREEN#’s article to the perusal of our readers, as worthy of their careful attention. Ir a young man has a brother-in-law in the United States Senate, not even the seclusion of a deputy clerkship in the dullest of villages can obscure his pre-eminent qualifications for choice positions in the service of the Govern- ment. When Brother-in-law WALKER was made State Auditor, and Brother-in-law HENRY EWING was made Clerk of the State Supreme Court, and Brother-in-law CHARLEY’ EWING was made a surgeon in the United States army, it was generally assumed that an exacting country had about exhausted its claims on Senator CocKRELL’s family, if, indeed, it had not utterly exhausted the office-holding capacity and qualifications of that gifted con- nection. But it seems that there was still an- other brother-in-law, another EWING rejoic- ing in the namie of Er, who had mastered the Spanish language and acquired other rare ac- complishments and special qualifications from contact with the cultured and cosmo- politan society of Jefferson City, and that his superior fitness for the position of Consul-General to Mexico had shone so luminously in his work as a deputy clerk that the commercial circles and boards of trade in all our aities were eager for his appointment. For prudential reasons, perhaps, they kept their desire a secret from the general public, but made it known to the appointing power in an occult way, so as to have the appointment made without Senator COCKRELL’s connivance, Weare told, therefore, that the appointment was made altogether on the represeritations and by the influence of Col. Gir? Prater and Col. Jonx Knapp, By a singular coincidence, while they were having the brilliant and accomplished Ern appointed as Consul-General to Mexico “‘unbeknownst” to Senator COCKRELL, he was having Col. Joux Kxwarr's son, Col. Lon O. Kwapp, placed in a good fat land office in New Mexico “unbeknownst” to them. It is by such harmonious and heaven - directed coincidences that patriotism is exalted and kindreds mightily strengthened. Mute From Malice. From the Pali Mali Gusette. Prisoners in the present day when arraigued for felony rarely decline to plead. A case of this kind, however, occurred recently at the Middlesex Sessions, where a man named Cousins, who was in- dicted for obtainiag sums of money from various persons by false pretense with intent to defraud, would make no answer to the usual questions as to whether he was guilty or not guilty. This neces- sitated the swearing in of a jury to ascertain whether Cousins was or shamming; 2 —— : . | maliee.” Cousins will not be subjected in the “eine forte el dure” formerly applied by the law of England to persons who d this form of contempt for legal authority. The last man “pressed” in Newgate was Nathaniel Hawes, who, being indioted for a highway robbery on Finchley Common in 1721, refused to plead, declaring that he would die as he had lived—like a gentleman. “The people,” he said, “who apprehended me, seized a suit of nne clothes which I intended to have gone to the gallows m, and unless they are returned I will not plead, for no one shall say that I was hanged in a dirty shirt and ragged, coat Hawes, remaining obstinate, was taken from the court, and, “being laid on his back, sustained a load of 250 pounds weight about seven minutes; but, unable any longer to bear the pain, he entreated he might be conduct- ed back to court, which being complied with, he pleaded Not guilty.’ ” England's Gifts to the Ameer. From the Pall Mall Gaztte. The ground was soon covered with trays heaped with costly gifts for the Ameer personally, There w ong them a diamond chronometer with a — — Albert chain; sets of cups, tankards, pitchers, and tea equipages in sil ver; timekeepers of every kind, from carriage clocks toa musical wateh and perpetual calendar; a magnificent land- scape: agate salver, exquisitely hand-painted; a jewel cabinet, and a number of silver-mounted rifles, guus and revolvers. Gold and jeweled lockets and necklets were provided for the ladies of bis household, with quantities of beautiful fabrics. Among the large presents were a state chair and a table of pure crystal, the former with ‘cushions of crimson velvet; an international music- box, and a splendid orchestrion, which plays alternately English and Indian airs, Outside in the Viceroy’s ground a dozen elephants for the Ameer were swinging their handsome howdahs; half a dozen splendid gift-horses stood near, and his siege trains and battery of mountain guns had just been paraded past. Gladstone in Mining Stocks. From the London Truth. Mr. Giadstone will, I fancy, be surprised to find that his name is indirectly used for the purpose of puffing a gold mine. Messrs. Watson & Co., No. 79 Bishopsgate street, E. C., in letters addressed to various private gentlemen, recommend the Victoria Gold Mining Company as an excellent investment, the announcement 200.000 worth sterling of gold in sight“ heading the prospectus which they in- close. In order to make the bait more palatable, a report from a Mr. Walter Nessis also forwarded, who, Messrs Watson & Co. state, is a gentleman of the highest repute and Standing as an engineer. and who, among his testimonials, has the privilege. of holding one from Mr. Gladstone, the Premier of England.” It is not on record that a Premier of England is connected with mining operations, and it would therefore be interesting to know what is the nature of the certificate referred to, and whether it is in the form of a post-card, Morrison’s Withdrawal. From the New York Graphic. Congressman William R. Morrison has at last withdrawn from the Senatorial contest in Illinois. Had this retirement taken place when tbe Graphic weeks ago counseled and advised it, a Democratic Senator-elect would doubtless now hold hia cre- dentials as United States Senator from Illinois. But prior to the withdrawal of Morrison from the contest a Democratic State Senator died, and a Re- publican was chosen in a Democratic district in his place. After this brilliant management, by which not only Morrison, but every other Democrat will probably be kept out of the Senate, it is not singu- lar that even the horizontal s’atesman should deem it time for him to retire. The outcome of the IIIi- nois struggie cannot be foretoid; but if the new Republican member of the Legislature is seated, as seems probable, the chances are against the elec- tion of Judge Tree. Nor are the prospects much better for Legan. Morrison as a Work-Steer. Prom the St. Joseph Gazette. If Mr. Morrison could have seen his way clear two or three months ago to the adoption of the course pursued by his friends at Springfield yesterday, there might have been a possibility of the election of a Democrat or an Independent Republican to the United States Senate from Illinois. As the case now stands, or as it stood yesterday, the chances seemed largely in favor of the gifted linguist who once made the race for the Vice-Presidency against the gentleman from Indiana who now occupies that position. But Mr. Morrison has one consola- tion. If he has cost his party a Senator, he has never vie ded a single point to anybody on the tariff question. He is still a free trader, and still uncompromisingly opposed to Mr. Randall. He has probably done the best he could, When this can be truthfully said of a pitient and tireless work-steer all his other short-comings are forgiven. A Business-Like Governor. Washington Special to Indianapolis Journal. Everybody is surprised that the President should have appointed Mr. A. P. Swineford as Governor of Alaska. Swineford comes from the northern peuinsula of Michigan, which is good for 10,000 Re- publican majority on all occasions. Swineford him- self isa man who has no particular qualifications for a Gubernatorial office, and has not been known as a very stalwart Democrat throughout his career. But Swineford has an idea that there is money in the Alaska mineral resources, and has been trying for several years to interest capital in that region. It is said that he had organized a company, and that his time while in Alaska will be devoted to the interests of thiscompany. The salary of the Gov- ernor’s Office will belp him out materially. Will Astonish the Swiss. From the New York Sun. Mr. Winchester is not only an American citizen of eminence and merit, but he is also a representa- tive Kentuckian, perfectly familiar with the topog- raphy of Bourbon County and with the jurisprn- dence of the national game of draw poker, besides being a close personal friend of Mr. Watterson and the Star Eyed Goddess of Reform. We do not believe that there is anything in Switz- erland, fullas that land is of natural wonders, which will astonish Mr. Winchester, who is able from long practice to contemplate four aves on the other side of the table, or gaze steadily into the face of an adverse royal flush, without the slightest ac- celeration of the pulse; while there is much in Mr. Boyd Winchester which will be calculated to as- tonish Switzerland. Feminine Privileges in the South. From the New Orleans Times-Demecrat. Ho rapid a progress the women of the South are making in the matter of education is well shown in the University of Mississippi. It was but a few years ago that this university was thrown open to girls, but in that time they nave forced themselves to the front and this year they won all the prizes. A yeung lady has won the first honors and will con- sequently be the valedictorian. The senior class will be represented by a young lady among the speakers, as will also the juniors, while among the competitors for the sophomore prize declamation ig stijl another of the “fair sex.“ The experiment tried at Oxford for admitting girls to the university with the same privileges as the male students can therefore be pronounced a success.

Mr. Jon Bors ORA cannot go to Canada to lecture, but he spoke last week at Calais, Maine, and a host of his admirers flocked over the border to hear him. Mr. Cameron, the special correspondent of the London Standard, was, wken killed in Egypt, re- ceiving a salary of $10,000 a year, and the Standard has provided for his mother. Mr. Henry Irvine's mania for new readings is about to be rewarded by Oxford University, which will confer upon him the honorary degree of D, D., newly rendered as Doctor of the Drama. Joun Ruskin now publiciy announces that bis reason for resigning the Slade Professorship was because the Convocation of Oxford authorized vivisection in the physiological laboratory of the university, THe Emperor William's health has failed very much during the last few weeks, and it is consid- ered doubtful whether he will be able to go either to Ems or to Gastein.

Tux inner circle of the party of caste in England has formeda “Primrose League.” The primrose, as is com only known, was the favorite flower of Lord Beaconsfield, and he affected that flower so persistently and ostentatiously, Whether as a type or not, that it has been chosen as an emblematic badge of that select circle of true believers, who worship D'Israeli as the Joss of Jingoes, 2 WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

Qugxn Vriororia has evinced a surprising and in- convenient amount of regard for Archbishop Tait's son-in-law, the new Dean of Windsor, sending for him in hot haste at all times and seasons.

It is astonishing what a hold the old St. Louis Gas Company, which has bled the people of that town for years, has upon their affections. They do not want a sale made to Philadelphians, and the re- cently-reported trade is off. Neither do they want a new company given achance iu the place. Per- haps, though, the popular wish when expressed through the St. Louis morning newspapers gets in- verted like the figure in the camera. —— THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals are Saying To- Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Digpatoh. New Tonk. May 19.—The Womo says: “The esteemed Mugwumps are no doubt ¢incere in their detestation of the active politician who does service for his party, and it is their belief that such a man is not fitto hold a public office.

He advised them to ask ‘some other man.’ Higgins also suggested that they should ask some other man. Mr. Manning referred them to some other man.

LOUIS A WIDOWER'S WILES. — age They Wrought. _ —— Thirty-Year-Old Hired Girl How the Defendant's Children Prevented Hie Marriage and Precipitated a Lawsuit—Amusing Testimony Given in Court This Morning. The trial of the suit for $5,000 for breach of promise to marry, breught by Miss Mary Korti against Sebastian Hoffman of 1721 N. Tenth street, a partner in the wealthy manufacturing firm of Heller & Hoffman, which was begun at a late hour yesterday afternoon, war resumed in Court Room No, 3, before Judge Barclay, this morning. The plaintiff, a lady of about 30 years of age, gave her tes- timony yesterday, showing that she was engaged as cook at Mr. Hoffman's house last fall, and that the defendant made love to her, told ber she was very — and promised to marry her. In October, owever, Mr. Hoffman married another lady. Previous to the time that Hoffman proposed 4nd she accepfed he aitempted tender familiarities with her, which she would not rmit. A letter was also introduced in which the defendant evinced a determination to back out of the 4 al- leasing as his reason the opposition of his children to the ma . An unsuccessful attempt was made by defendant's counsel, Thomrson, to shake plaintiffs’ testimony in the cross-examina- tion. At the ning of the case this morning Judge Gottschal®, counsel for the plaintiff, read a de- position made by plaintiff some months ago which tailied very ciosely with the evidence she had given on the stand. This proceeding proved = tame to the large audience which had gathered In anti- cipation of racy developments, but they retained their seats throughout tue infliction in the hope that more interesting evidence was ahead. The plaint.ff, an honest-faced and modest-looking German girl, sat all alone in one of the back seats in the space with-_ in the rail, her deserted appearance bei in strange contrast to that 8 by the defend- aut, who was backed up by his sisters, his cousins and his aunts, who all took a deep interest in the disclosure of the entauglements which their mid- dle- aged yet love-stricken relative had gotten him- selfinto. The children of the defendant were in ing to have their father marry piainiiff, the de- feuse being that the promise to marry was conditional upon their consent being obtained. Alter the deposition bad been read vudge Gotis- =— an no that plamtifk's case was com- MR. THOMPSON then outlined the nature of the defense, holding that the defendant had engaged plaintiff to ta« care of his house and family, consisting of a i daughter, three unmarried daughters and two sons. She was a giri of good reputation and worthy to be tue companion of the young ladies in the family, which she was made when she entered his service. It would be shown as far as the defendant knew, that these relations continued harmoniously from August, 1888, to May 24, 1884, and that he had serious intentions of mar- rying plaintiff during this time. It would be shown t he supposed the children were satisfied witu the plaintul at the time he proposed marriage to her, and it was agreed the marriage was not to take place unless they were willing to accept her as their mother. Defendant bad treated the plaintiff very kindly, while she, on the otber hand, was engaged in stirring up a hornet’s nest in the family. It would be shown that the piaintiff asked the defend- ant’s daughter, Lena, to agree to her marriage with the defendant, but that Lena refused and declined to take a bribe in the shape of a Jer- sey jacket. She was more successful with the other daughter, Miss Frauces, whom piaintiff coaxed to advance her matrimonial desixus upon the de- fendant, ur ing on@er behaif that she had been jilted already three times and hoped to be success- ful on the fourth. Miss Lillie, another daughter, also expressed her opposition to the marriage, but all this. opposition was concealed from the de- fendant by plaintiff. Finally the defendant man- aged to hear of this disagreement in the family, and the result was the defendant decided that the conditional marriage couid not be consummated. Finally, it will be shown that plaintiff denied that she was engagea to defendant, but that she wished to pursue him. Tue tirst witness calied for the defense was MRS. FRANCES WOELFLE, the defendant's daughter, who said that, at the death of her mother, sue took charge of the home. When plaintiff entered her father's service she took charge of the kitchen under witness’ direction. She ate with the family and slept with tke daughters of the defendant. Plaintiff was often sick, when witness used to do her work. She used to get sick on Saturdays and wasn days—tae days when there was a deal of work to do. — She would always get well again, nowever, by Sunday afternoon. [Loud and con- tinued laughter}. Witness never had any confi- dential relations with plaintiff up to May 24, but ber sister Lena had. Judge Gottschalk insisted that, if the defense were allowed to go into ali sorts of petty details connect- ed with the family bickerings which existed in the Hoifmann household. the case would last a month, and the court took this view of the case aud ordered defendants’ counsel to confine his examination to events transpiring at about the time the engage- ment occurred—the early part of May, 1884. Witness, continuing, said that she and the plain- tiff began to have confidential relations shortly before June, 184. Piaintiff bad invited Miss Lena to go to Muscatine with her, but she changed ber plan afterward and extended the invitation to witness. Plaintiff told witness that she had told Lena about her engagement with her father, and that Lena had said she could not consent to such an arrangement, as she couid not look upon piain- tiffasamotuer, Piaintiſf said she could not get along with witness’ sisters. Sue said she had of- fered to buy Lena a Jersey if sue would be wi to accept her as a mother, but that Lena said had a father to buy Jerseys for ber if she wanted one. Piaintiff told witness that if she was married to her father she would be very kind to him and to the children, and witness said that if she really would do so and her father wanted to marry witness would consent. Plainuff told witness that she had had several ljovers—three, certainly. Ou one occasion while witness, her father, and plaintiff were on the Charles Morgan going to Mon- tesano prings plaintiff asked her to put in a good word for her to the old man. Sue did so but her father did not seem to be deeply interested, and when witness allowed the conversation to iag plaintiff nudged her and pulled her dress so as to make her go on. are Witness then made a sugges tion that as she was going to get married it would be a good idea if her-marriage with Mr. Woelfle and her father 8 marriage with plaimitf were celebrated at the same time, but her father. did not take to the double wedding idea as be held that somebody would have to be at home too loek after the children.

INDIGNANT GARDENERS. The Union Market Dealers Express Them. selves on the City Hall Project. John Bentsen and Henry Sprenger visited the Post-Dispatou office this morning as a delegation from the stall-owners of Union Market, to protest against and deny the statements made concerning that institution in an interview published in th, Post-Dispatcu afew days ago. Their views wer, very fully set out in a document which they brougn: with them, and could be pretty well summarize n a statement that any man who says Union Mari is not what it ought to be is a rank folsifier or a great huckster and junk-shop is specially resented, as is the statement that some of the sup. posed of Union Market don't know whether lettuce grows on trees or only on bushes The gentlemen declare that among the vegetabie vendors of the market are some of the most ex. perienced gardeners in the vicinity of St. Louis, and that the assortment of vegetables there pre. sented is far superior to anything else that can be found in the city, and instead of there being a pool. ing of interests; every man sells on the merits of hie goods, and the sharpest competition prevails. The same rule, say the delegates mentioned, applies to the butchers, and to every tradesmen in the market, many of the best known men in their lines of business in the city being in the list. In short, the delegates state that for seventeen years Union Market bas sup. plied from 100,000 to 200,000 e with the best class of marketing to be found in the West. As to the argument that Union Market is an eye-sore, a nuisance. an obstruction to business northward, which the proposed new City Hall would not be, these gentlemen state that best answer to t is to merely point to D. Crawford's, Famous, Nugent's and ny & Gentles, which are among the busiest and most prosperous houses in the eity, and which are surrounded by smaller establishments, equaliy as thrifty.

Prxx., May 19.—A cow and a horse belonging to Samuel Foutz, a farmer living near this place, have been kept in adjoining stalls for some time past. during the night. The partition between the stalls is built of boards which are sev- eral inches apart. It was discovered one day re- cently that whenever the horse got near enough to the boards the cow would thrust her tongue through an opening and touch him with it, ert dently much to his annoyance, as he would lay back his ears and kick and THROW H1S HEAD VICIOUSLY ABOUT. Saturday morning when Mr. Foutz went into the barn to feed his stock, he was amazed to find nearly six inches of a cow's tongue in the horse's manger. Foutz entered the cow's stall and found the cow lying on tie floor apparently in great agony. The floor was covered with blood. Half of the cow's tongue was gone, and shehad to be killed. It is supposed that some time during the night she had annoyed the horse in the usual way, and that he had managed to catch ber tongue be tween his teeth and had bitten it off. Alton Atoms.

FACTS ABOUT TONTINE. 1 fhe Alleged Enormity of Its Wick- | edness. Another Letter From en Greene—$17,000,000 Insurance Said to be Lost to Families of Tontine Policy-Holders in Ten Years—A Scathing Denunciation of the Sys tem. 2 0 2 go the Editor of the Tribune: : Sin -In your issue of Marcli 22 ult., in answering the statements and criticisms of Messrs. Beers, Alexander and McCurdy, I showed that the Tontine principle in life insurance is absolute, un- gambling, because it makes a man stand to lose by lapse that which need not be lost by ; that which lapse ought not to cause the loss of at all: it therefore makes him needlessly and of get purpose expose to the risk of loss that which peed not and would not be at the risk of loss but for his act. This is gambling pure and simple. And, aside from this aspect of Tontine, which dt rectly involves public morality, I have shown this peculiar vice about this particular form of gamb- ling, namely: that there is lost, not merely what one has paid to a company over and above the cost of his insurance up to the time bis policy lapses, but the paid-up insurance which that owr-pay ment ought to secure for his family at once if he cannot carry on the original insurance, and which such over-payment would secure, had he taken a policy framed upon the true principles of life insurance, THE THING GAMBLED FOR. He is not only gambling. but he is gambling with his family’s protection; ana the purpose of his gambiing is to win from other families the value of the protection they may be made to forfeit by lapse during the Tontine or semi-Tontine period, The profits of Tontine are forfeited reserves and surplus; the profits of semi-Tontine are partly for, feited reserves and wholly forfeited surplus; and both reserves and surpius ought, in ease of lapse, to give paid-up insurance tothe family or other de pendents for whose protection the insurance was originally taken. The profits of either form of Tontine are, therefore, the price of paid-up insur ance which ought to have gone to the families of those who had to lapse their policjes. And instant and constant protection of families is the one function, the one public utility of life insur ance, the only thing that cannot be done better and more cheaply some other way. The only reply to this analysis that I have ia by way of renewed attack upon the Connecticu Mutual and myself. The phase of Tontine which I have hitherto dis- cussed has been its effect upon the ſndit dual fam- ily, which loses its needed protection to fatten Tontine pool. 25 I wish now to call attention to the aggre effect of Tontine on the com munity, upon the mr titude of families whose protection is put at 1b ard to make up its winnings; and to indicate thing of the tremendous scope and magnitude o its present, and still more of its prospective, scal of o on. N SIGNIFICANT FIGURES. Let us trace the progress of Tontine for thé | ten years in the two companies which have p moted it longest and with pecullar energy, and se just what it means. We will take first the Ne York Life Insurance Company.

But it is a “blind pool; “ its real sources and ec position have never been disclosed, and so far legal attempt to compel such disclosure has successful. The main point for the moment is this: iu years the company has lost by lapses $69, 180. insurance, and has added $2,490,448 to its Tonti pool, which now aggregates $2,633,796 70.

The main point for the moment 18 this: in ten years the company has lost by lapses $69,159,620 of insurance, and has added $2,480,848 to its Tontine pool, which now aggregates $2,633,796 70. Take now the Equitable: I can find no separate statement of its Tontine fund prior to December 81, 1875, when it estimated it at exactly $1,000,000. Its figures for the ten years are as follows: Addions to Total Tonti | Tontine Pool.

If they could add but $253.695 in 1882, how could they add $1,281,968 in 1884? and vice versa. How are matters apportioned? In ten years the Equitable has lost by lapses —- of insurance and added $5.408 861 to its ontine pools, which now aggregate $6,408,861. The New-York Life ad quale foget e New-Yor e and Equitable together have lost by lapse in ten years 1 888 135 the greater part of which was Tontine insurance, and have added $7.889,709*to their Tontine pools, which aggregate $9,042,658.

The Equitable and New York Life wrote together over $ ’ ear; it issafeto say that a good deal more than $100, 000,000 was Tontine, or semi-Tontine: and the “esti- mated” results on semi-Tontine are only about 10 per cent less than those on full Tontine. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE GAME. Just imggine this business carried forward on this scale year after year, until the results of the old and the — AY the nw travel side by side in full view; over $100.000.000 new business each vear, and over $70,000,000 of lapses; and over $17,000,000 yearly of paid-up iusurance that ought to come therefrom, taken from the families that need it, to make up the more than $7,500,000 of profits to be tnen yearly divided to the members of the pools! Where in human history has so enormous a game been at- tempted or conceived? And the one thing played for isthe paid-up insurance that ry ty to protect unfortunate families! At least $17,000,000 a year, when the game is at its full on its present scale, taken from these families and its price given to the players who can stay in! And now comes the Mutual Life with its semi- Tontine flve year distribution policy,“ on which it has advanced its premiums 23 per cent to meet the increased risk“ (of which risk,“ by the way, there has 1 evens as yet, no explauation whatever); and ‘the Northwestern with higher estimates“ than any others; and several others with their own forms of the same thing; all inviting men to come in and ut at hazard all or tof that protection which sacredly due to their families, and to give which in its most simple, just and absolute form ought to be the sole ambition, as it is the sole reason of its being, of a life insurance company. What colossal gambling it will be! For whata peculiar stake— the protection, the living of widows and chiidren! AN INSINUATING PARAGRAPH ANSWERED. As I was writing the last paragraph the followin paid notice of the Equitabie, from Taz Wonrn April 28, was handed me: Tontine Again. “One day’s new business of the Equitable Life Assurance Society for April 28 was nearly a million and a quarter of dellars. Has dent Greene of the Connecticut Company been hired to advertise Tontine?” At that rate they would write over $350,000,000 In & year. And just translate that tact into the of their estimates, and repeat it year after year for twenty years, and what would it mean in just thatcompany alone? It would mean that on 3 — such business there would be over $241, of sapere, whereby would be lost to families full 360, 000 of paid-up insurance, in or- der that they might give 000,000 additional profits to the Tontine pool. tis precisely what it would come in time to mean every year in that company alone; at least $60,000,000 a year of what ought to be paid-up insurance for families, who have to lapse at least $241,000,000, taken from them to furnish at least $26,000,000 a year to the Tontine pools! That is what the new business of April 28 would mean to the world in the light of their au- thorized estimates; or call it all semi-Tontine, and throw off 11 per cent. What an astounding scale of speculation! AN APPEAL FOR THE FAMILY. Do not misunderstand the President of the Con- necticut Company. He weil kaows that he is advertising Tontine: that to certain men the very figures he has here given will prove an irresistibie attraction—men who are entirely confident of their own ability to pay through, and who care little or nothing where money comes from, so it comes legally. He is not speaking to them. He is spea k- Ing only tothe men who have families to protect, and who mean to really protect them, and to men who may not have seen the true character of Ton- tine. He is speaking in behalf of families that need rotection, to those to whom alone they can ook or that protection, that it may not be put at need- less hazard of loss; that the unfortunate, the poor and the weak be not made the prey of the fertu- nate, the rich and the strong. He is speaking for the pure beneficence of simple life insurance; so administered that every family may get every dol- lar’s worth of protection—the premiums paid by its own head can be made to buy. He does not think that the ultimate judgment ofa clear under- standing and conscience will turn upon a million and a quarter of new business iu a day. True success is something else than assuming obii- gations. The results by which life insurance is to stand at the last will be the amount of protection iven to families, not the amount of which they ave been robbed, not the profits it has been made to yield to a game of chance, nor the magnitude of the game which has been set going in its name.

Mempuis, May 19.—About 10 o'clock yesterday morning, just after the organization of the Crimi- nal Court for the May term, and when the Grand Jury was in the act of retiring, Walker Kennedy, editor of the Sunday Times, walked in and stepped behind the railing, and approached G. P. M. Tur- ner, attorney-general, who sat near the jury box. Turner was looking toward the bench, and did not see Kennedy, who held a cane in one hand and threw the other back on the hip, spitting at Turner and missing his mark. The latter turned, and as he did so, Kennedy SPAT SQUARE IN HIS FACE Turner sprang up, yelling like a wild man, and instantly drew a pistol. Kennedy, not expecting to find him armed in the court room, became as white as a sheet, and before Turner could lever the pistol at him, he sprang behind a big fellow named John Maaogue, stooping down so as to be compietely hid- den, and crying out: “Don't let him kill me; Iam unarmed.” A policeman and several deputy sheriffs seized and disarmed Turner, white Kennedy was searched and found to be unar He left the court room while Turner was still Taving, and will be tried on Friday for contempt of court, while the attorney- general will go before the Grand Jury for carrying conceaied weapons. Turner is also editor of the the Daily Sciihetar, and the last few issues of that paper and of the Times have been filled with viig | attacks. Turner is of a powerful physique, while Kennedy is far below the average size. TEXAS TOPICS. Surrendered—Jail-Bird Caught—New Rail- road—Tornado—Murder.

Nevertheless, the total amount has increased to $1,164 35, which has been contributed by 3,501 individual subscrib- ers, There is no cause for discouragement in this result, but rather other- wise, and those who bave any interest in the fate of the great memorial ot two nations to Liberty. can find in it only an inspiration to push on to renewed efforts and still greater suc- cess. The returns from the schools continue te come in with admirable promptness, and with a liberality indicating a deep and admirable interest in the cause on the part of both teachers and scholars. It would vastlp increase the interest of outsiders in the work of the schools, and would also bea valugble aid in computing the actual number of subScribers, if the number of individ- uals giving to each school contribution should be stated, with the amount of subscripuon. One of the most interesting features of this national subscription is the number of people tak- ing part in it, and it is impossible to arrive at this number with any degree of accuracy unless this necessary assistance is given by those collecting the subscriptions. The latest contribution from the schools is that of the Branch High School, which is stated in the following letter: Sr. Louis, May 18, 1885. To the Editor of the Post Dispatch.

The Court of Appeals Fails to Appoiat His Successor To-Day. In the Court of Appeals this morning the follow- ing order was made respecting the resignaticn of Mr. Wm. Baggott, Marshal of the Court and the newly appointed Coal Oil Inspector: Now comes William Baggott, Marshal of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, and tenders his resigna- tion in words following: “Sr, Louis, May 16, 1885. „To the Hon. Edward A. Lewis, Hon. Roderick Rombauer, and Seymour D. Thompson, Judges of the St. Louis Court of Appeals: * ‘GenrTLeEMgen—I hereby tender m Marshal of the St. Louis to take effect June 1. You your redecessors have shown me such unvarying kindness and consideration during the nine years and a quarter you have retained me in this Hand have been so indulgent to me, that I cannot sever my official connection with the court without saying how grateful I am to you, and how it pains me to leave you. I shall always con- tinue my pride in the court, and my warm and grateful attachment to each of its members. spectfully and sincerely, Wu. Baddgorr.“ “Which resignation is by the court accepted, to take effect as therein expressed. The faithful and efficient service of Marshal Baggot, from the organ- ization of the court to the present time, demands something more than a formal entry of this official nge. Nothing can better encourage a patriotic fidelity in all puble servants, than the prompt recognition of duty well performed. The Court therefore directs t testimonial of the meritorious record made by ‘the retiring Mar- shal, throughout his longterm of devotion to its service. In whatever la in his fleld of duty, he has permitted nothing to escape his watchfulness and zealous promptitude in action, that might facilitate the labors of the Judges, or contribute to the dignity and usefulness ofithe Court.“ No appointment was made to flil the vacancy which occurs on Jone 1, but it is expected it will be made next Thursday. resignation as ourt,.of Ap- Bedding Plauts, 50ca Dozen.
