From Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-General Walkers plans
excite so little interest in official quarters that
naval vessels have been directed especially to watch
his movements. Every precaution, however, will
be taken to intercept any armed bodies leaving our
shores to join him.
The errand of Minister Dimitry from Costa Rica
to Nicaragua recently, to exercise all the power
vested in him to repe the invader, was, it is
known, more in spirit of diplomatic duty than
with the means of success. Information has reached
here that before Walker captured Truxillo he des-
his friends in anticipation of his invasion Of that
State.
The services in all the Roman Catholic churches

MUST Nor ARREST SUSPECTED Persons 90 HASTILY.
"A correspondent of the New York Herald writes
to hot journal no follows.

to that journal as follows:
| was for many years connected with the London
police on detective service, but am now resident
of New York city. Permit me briefly to say that,
in my judgment, the reason why some of our mys-
terous crimes not terreted out Is that too great
haste is used in arrestiDg supposed offenders and
locking them up when the evidence Is slight. In
stead of this course being pursued, let the police,
the coroner and magistrates exercise for time
surveillance only. Offenders are apt to grow bold
when permissvely unmolested 1t is an old pro
verb "give rogue rope enough and he will hang
himself" Our police and coroners, the moment
they suspect man let him know it, and shut him
up, and he is straightway on his guard. Suppose
Mrs Cunningham had been let out on bail very
early or not arrested at all, but had been watched
night and day, or, as we say, "spOtted." The re-
suit of this kind of man@uvre appeared in the baby
sequel which was successful Take the recent
case of Charles Jefferds. He suspected, and he
gave himself up. Instead of being placed under
surveillance and allowed his rope, he is locked up
and put on his guard. Suppose he had not been
placed in custody, then he would have been forced
to become witness. The corOner's iury could
have pronounced on the mere cause of DEATH And
if Jeferds be the murderer, venture to say that,
by his words his acts his letters, his visits, his in
eomings or outgoings, or in very few weeks rea-
sonable detective surveillance, would have been
found (Which now has been perhaps prevented J
some tangible legal evidence of his guilt. These
illustrations will show my ideas.

The CASE OF CAPT. MEGGs SETTLED rHG PREst,
DENr.-The Meigs case is at an end. The President
as Commander-in- Chief, has ordered Captain Meigs
to obey his superior officer, the Secretary of War,
and has declined to receive any communication
from him except through the War Department.
The army and navy rejoice in this decision, other
wise any lieutenant or midshipman might bring his
personal grievances directly to the President, and
make a correspondence with him, contrary to the
rules of both services.

THE VOTE IN NEW YORK.
The strong probability is that Lincon's vote will
exceed Fremonts." This is what the Albany Jour-
nal said after Weed returned from the Black Re-
publican State Convention, where he had every OPP
portunity of posting himself on the strength of the
party. But it may be asked how that vote is to
give the State to the railsplitter. Fremont poied
27G, 100 votes, against a united Democratic and
Known Nothing vote numbering, 31e,5oo. We are
estimating the strength of Lincoln in this State,
and will concede him 900 on full vote which,
adding the ratio Of increase, ought to be at least
COS OO0 This vote, then, would be divided as fol-
lows:
Union ticket, $4,000
Lincoln, 2S6,000

AssAuLr.-John D. Murphy was arrested yester-
day afternoon by officer Summers, on the charge
of assaulting Charles L. Oudesluys. 1t appears
that the parties met on Pratt street, and that Mr..

NJ, when the latter struck him over the head with
a cane. Justice Showacre held Murphy in $500 to
appear at Court.

graph announces the death, at Pensacola, Florida,
of flag officer James Mcintosh Commandant of the
navy-yard at that place. He had been ill for some
time, so that the intelligence of his decease was not
unexpected. Commander Mcintosh was native of
Georgia, from which State he received appoint
ment in the navy in the year 1911, a few months
preceding the occurrence of some of the most
eventful incidents recorded in our naval annals.
He was, consequently, 40 years an officer of which
90 were spent at sea. The shore duty credited to
him is eleven years and eight months He was
thirteen years and three months idle. The parte-
ulars of the Commanders services embrace remi-
niscences of every vessel in the navy, and of every
squadron. lie has been actively engaged on them

developed that the girl was an orphan and the law
yer whom she did not wish to ee,was her guardian,

ing against the indefinite postponement, when the
mover of the resolution withdrew it.
DR.. Milton n. Taylor asked what the question
was, as he had just came in.
The President stated it to be the postponemen
of the question until Thursday night one week.
DR.. Taylor said that he must express his yiew
on this question. He was in favor of nomination
at any hazard. What, though the candidate wa
defeated the party had met with defeat before. HI

in the face but he did not intend to shrink. Il

to this 1t is cowardice which suggests such poll

If YOU are, am not, and will fight under othe

house. When and how was it made? By few

better than Know Nothing nomination. Betwe

now, l will forsake them.
Mr. Ballard said that this talk of cowardice die
not suit him. He stood at the polls and battled fol
his rights when there was not a Democrat nea

about cowardce now, but he had forgotten th

Mr. Ballard.-I did not say you did, but if yol

in reply to DR.. Taylor
DIR. Taylor rose and asked leave to submit re

Jenny.

On sunny summer morning,
Early as the dew was dry,
Up the hill went berrying-
Need tell you-tell you why?
Farmer Davis had a daughter,
And it happened that l knew
On each Sunday morning, Jenny
Up the hill went berrying, too.
Lovely work is picking berries,
So joined her on the hill;
"Jenny, DEAR" said l, 'your baskets
Quite too large for one to FILL"
So we staid-we two-to fill it,
Jenny talking was still
Leading where the hill was steep,
Picking berries up the hill.
''This is uphill work." said Jenny;
$50 is life,' said ''shall we
Climb it up alone-or, Jenny,
VIII you come and climb with me !"
Redder than the blushing berries
Jenny's cheeks moment grew,
While, without delay, she answered,
Il will come and climb with you"
