THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the North american.
WASHINGTON, April %. 1912.

Correspondence of the North american.
WASHINGTON, April 90, 1912.
Among the recent arrivals is that of MAR
JOHANNA, Nord John) the HISTORIAN
Bishop from Ooroomiah, Persia, in compa-
ny with his teacher, Rev. JUSTIN PERKINS,
Missionary of the American Board.
On Thursday morning the sun broke
forth with great splendor, creating beau
tiful day--the more so by contrast with
half week Of clouds and storms. The
Bishop with his friend embarked on board
the Alexandria boat, which passed down
the broad Potomac, glittering in the morn
ing sun, and shot by the war steamers at
anchor near Greenleaf's Point. Their OBJ
iect was to visit Mount Vernon, to walk
among the shades, and stand by the tomb
of the illustrious statesman and nero whose
mortal remains there repose. Here, then,
were two pilgrims from distance of six
thousand miles, who had come to stand
near the dust. and admire the fame of our
Washington. That fame has spread its
light to the farther Persia. Mr.. p remar-
ked he had stood on Mount Ararat, where
the ark of the ancient and venerable Noah
the second progenitor of the human
race-had rested after the fierce waters OF
the deluge, but not such emotions possessed
his soul as when his feet stood on Noun,
Vernon, where reposes the dust of him
who, after great moral conflict, in which
military force and martial merit were bu
constituent elements, retired to close &
heroic life with tranquil death.

AN ELOPEMENT.

William P. Terrence, botanic or steam
doctor, eloped with Mrs. Tull, wife Of
Mr.. William B. Tull, a respectable citizen
of Marion Co., about the first of the pres
ent month. 1t appears they started With
the intention of visiting religious meet
ing in an adjoining county, but altered
their minds and made tracks for Illinois,
where they were last seen, on their way to
Canada. Mrs. Tull was well provided
with clothing, having purchased some
twelve or fourteen fine silk and other
dresses which she got on the credit of her
husband few days before she left. Mr..
and Mrs. Tull had lived in the utmost
peace and friendship up to the time of her
elopement with Terrence, and left behind
her two children. Terrence is represented
as being an intelligent and smart man.
He took with him some medical books
and medicines and about twelve hundred
dollars in money. He left behind him an
amiablc wife and two children to take
care Of themselves.

How HE RAvBs.-The editor of the
Paris Sentinel, in speaking of the editor of
this paper, holds forth in the following
beautiful and chaste language: "The ryf-
fan who writes for the Times and whose
deprauity prompts him to disregard all the
restraints of morality, and even common
decency," &c. Now, Major, you are not
likely to improve your character for moral
ity or decency, in using such language in
reference TO US, merely for telling what you
are not often guilty of-the truth. If it
does hurt, why stand it, like man, and
don't do so any more.
We are at a loss 10 know why you want
us to cucumber our columns with that long
rigmarole about "your fair () fame" Our
paper has but a small circulation, and its
readers know all about you, and certainly
"the thousands who read your paper week
ly," will be enough to read about your
earlier" and no doubt "best days."

DP"I knew it," 81 said il would bs
just So" These sayings we hear every
day. Let man fail in business, and YOU
will hear a dozen thick headed boobies
exclaim, "why, l knew it long ago." Let
slanderous report be circulated against
any one, no matter how fair they NAV
stand in the community, or how much
they. deserve the encouragement or sym
pathy of the public, and you will hear the
same cry from these senseless, brainless,
knowing ones. "All are not MEN that bear
the human FORM for no person who lays
any claim to good sense, OF who has
just regard for the feelings of the unfor-
tunate, would utter such sayings-partic-
ularly if they have no other grounds for
so expressing themselves, than from what
their own prejudices or il-feelngs suggest.
The difference between fault and mis-.
fortune, is entirely too nice for half the
people to understand Men of sense are
particular as to how they speak of the rep
utaton Of an individual, even if they have
what they consider indubitable proof on
their side.

SATURDAY, MAY 81, 1912.

There is evidently some deep and des-
perate game being played by the Locos.-
The time of the State Convention, for nom-
mating candidates for Congress is fast ap-
preaching, and in this particular region,
where the cards are generally "shuffled,"
and not unfrequently stocked" all is still
as death. "Still water runs Deep" and de-
pend upon il there is some desperate scheme
brooding, which, when it comes to light
will make the democracy in other portions
of the State, who think they have every
thing arranged to their entire satisfaction,
look with wonder and surprise. The wire
workers here are too old to be caught with
their lamps out of order, and from what we
have seen lately, we predict that the great
central power so much preached against
by other portions of the state, will be found,
when the time arrives, to have so far the
start, that those who have been expecting
a nomination, will find that it can only be
had by making peace with them, and
abiding by their decision. The great con-
venton of "the people," will be entirely
managed and controlled by less than a
dozen men-and from among themselves
will be selected at least four of the can
didates.
1t is somewhat astonishing that people
can be so humbugged. Any person, en-
dowed with common sense, who has paid
the least attention to the way matters have
been worked, can easily perceive that this
great convention, the preparations for
which have been going on for six months,
at an immense loss of time and money, is
mere humbug; the very way in which it
has been gotten up shows that there will be
no fair expression of the sentiments or
wishes Of the people Of the State; for
what will the delegates who 60 there
pledged to support the favorite of their
particular section care for, if they can
succeed in having their man nominated; the
delegates from the northern section are
pledged, the south, also--and so the south
west, and the west, and the centralites
must and will have their men nominated
The whole result will be, that the system of
|log-rolling will be adopted, and men will
receive the nominations who are neither
the choice of the people, nor qualified to
represent an intelligent constituency.

General Jackson's health was bad.

DPThe North Eastern Bounda,y.-The
Portland (Me.) Mirror, speaking of the
overtures of Lord Ashburton for the ad.
justment of this dispute, says
Happily, the temper of our community
was never in better state, than at present
to listen to proposals, or to acquesce in
any decision, which will not compromit
the honor of the state and the nation. II
this is the desire of the two countries to
continue in peace with each other, it is
obvious that compromise, or exchange OF
territory, to some extent, in fixing the
boundary, will better favor pacific pol.
icy, than rigidly adhering to the line fixed
in the treaty of 's3. That angle of our
state, which extends almost to the ST.
Lawrence, and comes so near bisccting the
British territory this side the river, would
lent for it on this side Of the ST. Johns
would, at the same time, be of more value
to us-especially if it included the right
to navigate the river to st. Johns city.
The illusions to this matter, in the po-
litical papers in the State, of all parties,
have of late been remarkably conciliatory
There seems to be oneness of views and
feelings, altogether unusual, and pre-emi-
nently suspicious. Patriotism and human
ity have, once more, risen above party
and sectional interests, and long may they
reign in the ascendant. If this dispute
could be fairly and honorably adjusted, g
settlement of the others would more easily
be effected. The belief is gaining strength
that the mission of Lord Ashburton is
made in good faith, and there is sincere
desire on the part of the British ministry
to cultivate peace with our country. If
so, let their overtures be met in a kind
spirit, and with magnanimous regard to
the interests of suffering humanity, to the
claims Of civilation and our common Chris.
tianity.

BY the following from the Baltimore
American of the 4th instant, il will DO seen
how Mr.. Benton obtained the letters pub.
lished some time since in the Missouri Re-
porter in reference to the ST. Louis Post
Office. The Colonel seems TO think as lit.
tie of disregarding an oath now, as he for.
merly did of practicing slight of hand at
Chapel Hill:
"In the Senate, Mr.. Merrick, on leaye.
said he was out of the Senate yesterday
when the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Ben.
tony asked the attention Of the Senate TO
the case of removal Of the post master
at ST. Louis.
"Mr. Merrick referred TO the fact that the
Senator from Missouri had taken Executive
documents, designed for the information Of
the Senate when in closed doors. He
wished 10 know however, to what extent
Senators might go in taking files Of the
documents of an Executive character.
"He referred to one precedent, and ,ba,
in the case of Mr.. Pickering, in 1910, who
in public debate, had read communication
taken from the Executive session. Mr..
Pickering was censured by vote of tho
Senate"

DFThe Locos Of Franklin township
are still resolved on supporting DR.. Red
man for Representative, notwithstanding
there are charges enough against him of
such a disgraceful nature, as to damn him
in the estimation of the honest people
of any community. They say Redman,
with all thy faults" we Glove thee STILL"
They say too, it was their fault that he
became a defaulter to the Government bv
trusting them with their postage for letters
and papers which they never paid over
to him, and that an honest man like Red
man q ought not to be assailed for an
act over which he had no control. They
reaped the benefits from his being a
defaulter, and they feel bound to stand by
him, now. that they have it in their power
to reciprocate past favors, and that all
good and honest Democrats must support
him, noIens roiens at their peril

THE MARYLAND BANKS.

says-"On Monday last, the banks of our
city and State entered upon a general re.
sumption of all their liabilities. Virtually
specie payments took place here some -four
or five weeks ago, when the banks began
the issue of small notes of one and two
dollars. The effects of these issues have
been and continue to be most salutary

THE RESULT.

The result of Mr.. Van Buren's tour TO
the south and west seems to be generally
understood. The Nashville Wing thinks
that the bargain has been struck" and that
the banner of Van Buren, and Polk will
soon be "Aung to the breeze" as the can
didates for President and Vice President
in 1874. We are satisfied with the ticket,
and think it just about as easily beaten as
any that can be produced
At the last accounts Mr.. Van Buren, was
in Nashville and vicinity. The citizens of
Nashville rendered him a public dinner,
which he declined. In his reply he pays
hattering compliment to Gen. Jackson,
and says in his administration he only fol-
lowed the footsteps of his predecessor, and
the thanks Of the country are only due to
him as an agent in carrying out the great
works left unfinished. These are not ex-
actly the words, but the substance of his
reply.

DPThe Rev. LEANDER KERR, has been
entertaining our citizens with series Of
Lectures, in the Christian Church of this
place, the past week. He handles the
creeds Of all sects without gloves" and
assumes middle ground, which we believe
to be about as near the mark as can be
attained. He appears to fully understand
what he processes TO preach and has amply
sustained the reputation he so justly ac-
CURED at other places he has visited. He
will address our citizens again this even
ing, tomorrow morning and night.

WMUsIc.-By "a Card" in to-dsy's
paper. it will be seen that Mr.. KRAMER,
our deservcdly popular teacher of this
useful branch of education and refinement,
intends remaining in this section Of the

tact in imparting knowledge of his pro-
fession, are too well known 70 need any

"RHODE ISLAND UNDER A CON
STITUTION-THENEW GOVERN
MENT.

Rhode Island has at length organized a
government under a constitution, and is
now governed by the people themselves,
as their wish is expressed in that written in
strument, instead of being under the con-
troll of King Charles Royal charter. On
Tuesday, agreeably to the determination
of the people, the newly elected State
officers were installed"
The foregoing we get from the Bal,i.
more Sun Of the 9th inst. The sun gives
very lengthy account of the doings of
the suffrage party on the occasion, for
which we have not room. A procession
of some 800 or 1900 persons were form
ed, together with several military compa-
mics, and proceeded to an unfinished build
ing, to make arrangements for the organi-
cation of the new government.
AT IL o'clock, the Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Secretary of State,
followed by the two Houses, entered the
building, and proceeded to organize, by
electing speakers, clerks, &c. A commit
tee waited upon Governor Dorr, and in
formed him Of the organization of the
two Houses. The Governor Immediately
waited on the Assembly and delivered his
Inaugural Address.
Every thing as yet, appears quiet The
Constitutional Government meets on the
day after the suffrage party, SO that if there
is to be bloodshcd or any thing of that
sort, we shall probably bear tomorrow

This apportionment adds 81 to the pre-
sent number Of representatives, 242-and
should be followed up, if finally adopted,
by a reduction of the per diem of members
or limitation of the sessions of Congress

yond what they now are.
