DEAR STR,-Itake the liberty of writing fe lines
to inform you of this, my late voyage OF discovery
or, rather, humbug. had very comfortable voy-
age to NeuvItas, which made in III days; and on
arriving at the mouth of The river received orders
from my conslgnee TO turn right about, and beat
up to Ragged Island, and obtain clearance and a
bill If health, as he had been advised to do SO by
the authorities of Neuvltas, which, they said +,
would enable them to let me enter, otherwise
Iwoud have TO go to Havana and ride quarantine
forty days. During the time was beating up, it
blew gale from the eastward, msst OF the time
under single SAILS and carrying hard at that.
In days arrived at Ragged Island; and got the
documt mes required, and returned TO Neuvtas
alter 10 days absence went up to town, sup
posing all was right but the ne xt day / was
ordered away TO 60 to Havana to quaran.

not allow me to fill cask OF water, or get any
stores, or let my cOnsignee come OIL to the brig

ming here during the time have had two north
ers, and arrived here yesterday, making days
from Neuytas, and to my great surprise found the
quarantine had been taken of from vessels from
New York for upwards OF two weeks, and was at
liberty TO 60 where pleased. So have entered
and cleared, paid the charges, and now have to
undergo the pleasure OF beating up to Neuvltas
again. This is what | call great humbug.
shall leave early IN the morning Tor Neuvtas. All
WELL Yours, very truly.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A WIFE ON ACCOUNT OF
DOMESTIC DIFFICULTIES morning, the
nel9p6orhood OF Bradford street, between Suffolk
and Washington, was thrown into considerable ex-
cltement by the report that the wife of William A.
Smith, residingin Bradford street, had committed
suicide. 1t appears that there has, for some time
past, been some difficulty between Smith and his
wife, and they have had repeated quarres, the last
OF which terminated In temporary separation
On saturday morning, Smith, In a fit Of jealousy

LANCASTER, ONO, March Is. 1919


Mr.. Eving's Transfer to the Cabinet-H,s Latin,a-
ey,c'th Mr.. Clas-Appotntmemts &c.
In the absence OF the leading member of legal
bar, much inconvenience is often encountered in
the proceedings of the courts embracing his prac-
tice. Such is the case at the present term OF the
court tor this county, which commenced on Mon
day OF this week, on account OF the absence of
MI. Ewing, who has been transferred from his own
home to the "Home Department of the Union
Happily for the clients, the Lancaster bar embraces
q choice of eminent lawyers, from whom to choose
an alternative. Still, the new counsel need time
to "examine papers," and, perhaps, talk over the
little matter OF fees, so that many causes have to
be "contlnued," for the sole reason alluded to.
Speaking OF Mr.. Ewing, may say that the cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia North -An,ericam
confirms the statement made II my last, that
In the first instance 1t was intended to exclude all
the old active party wings from the cabinet, and
especially those composing the Harrison cabinet
but, as the winter stated, and as 1t is now under
stood here, an exception was made In favor Of Mr..
Ewing, for special reasons. What those reasons
may be, is not clearly known One thing Is not
disguised by the friends of Mr.. Ewing here, viz:
that they regard 1t as an arrangement made at the
request of Mr.. Clay. Certain it is that Mr. Ewing
is the most devoted friend OF Mr.. Clay's In the
wing party; and there ls no doubt that whatever
MIR. Clay desired should be made subject of cabl-
net action and discusaon either for the ear, or the
guide of action OF the President, will be made
known through Mr.. Ewing. The probability Is,
that the only anxious request made by Mr.. Clay,
during his visit to the South, was the appointment
Of MIR. Ewing as member of the cabinet.
Hitherto the new administration has been re-
garded with favor by all parties. A new cabinet
was looked tor, as matter OF course. A general
removal Of incumbents is regarded as doubtful !;
and, II commenced, will at once break the ch arm
OF the noparty professions, and array an active
opposition.
The principal point of discussion among both
wings and democrats, Is the potential declaration
OF the inaugural
~ fhall make honesty, capacity, and fidelity indis.
pentsbe requisites to the bestowsl OF office an the
absence CT either OF these shall be deemed sum ,!snt
cauee for removal"
The wings generally regard this as an unfortunate
assertion. In every town in the West, one or
more are aspiring TO the postmastcrshIp OF the
place; but their petitions, recommendations and
private letters have all been prepared only IN re-
ference to their standing in the great Taylor whig
party, and without intending or, wishing to ar
raien the "honesty, capacity and fidelity of the
incumbent to be removed. All feel that an indus
crimate removal now will place President Taylor
IN position no way calculated to make his ad.
ministraticn popular.
