THE DRAMA.
MR.. AND MRS. BARNEY WILLIAMS.


At one time, not very long ago, it was init.

II is ten days since Mr.. Tweed walked away from
his ruined" family, and, far as the public has
been able to ascertain the police have not discOv-
cred single intelligent Glow as to his whereabouts
This is pretty poor showing for metropolitan
police Though there is no general disposition to
charge them with unwillingness TO recapture the
Boss there are a good many ways in which the vigOr
of their search might apparently be Increased. III,
for instance they believe Tweed is still in the city,
as many of them are SAID to do why could not every
house in the city have been searched before now I
Every good citizen would gladly have thrown open
his doors to such quest, and i'll cases where
permission was refused, the necessary
authority could easily have been obtained.
There is more ut stake in this matter
than probably the average patrolman appre-
ciates. Tweed is broken in purse and bereft of
power but the fact Of his escape and the manner Of
it are shameful and scandalous, and it is time tho
police found it ont. The fault was not theirs but
they will be compelled to share the odiun if they
10 not remedy it.

by Mr. John Y. Fosters letter Is the man who never
received it, Mr.. Ex-Speaker Blaine.

The scales must be held fairly in this complicated
st. Louis business. Unwise and improper as ex.
Senator Henderson's action seems to have been, he
Ia entitled to have the same suspension OF public
opinion that Gen. Babcock has received. In his
telegram to the Attorney General the other day he
said 81 stand by tho speech as made. l said
nothing beyond what my sworn duty required. and

reasons for his action it might DO well to wait and

The horrible story told by the passenger on
Che Mosel who attempted suicide, in which he
made himself the hero of an attempt to blow
I'D the steamer, will take rank with the
numerous cases where weak minded men have
deluded themselves with the belief that they
were great criminals. There are many we'll
known instances on record where men and
women, excited by reading or hearing about
notable murders, have confessed crimes of
which they were totally innocent; and in a
few cases the victims of delusion have been
executed. 1t is fortunate for this crazy pas
scnger that lynch law WAS not suggested on
the MOscl.

A great effort is proposed to restore the in
fuence of the Republican party in the South.
The first step toward this restoration, it is
said, is to be the admission of Mr.. Pinchback
to the Senate. This looks like rather bad
beginning with such an end in view.

Many people believe that VIM. NJ. Tweed is
in hiding in or near this city. Certain facts
which give color TO this opinion are detailed
in our local columns. 1t is at least to be said
in favor of this theory that it is as well If not
bstter supported than any of the guesses that
include journey abroad, since all OF the latter
have thus far failed to indicate his mode of
departure to foreign country.

The recent marked successes in exploring
the interior Of Africa make the review of them
last night at the meeting of the Geographical
Society matter of timely interest Justice
DAILY and MIR. Bayard Taylor We'd in their ad-
miration of the work done by Mr.. Stanley, and
of the enterprise of the newspaper Press which
had rendered it possible. Mr.. Taylor accepts
to the full all that is claimed as to Mr. Stan
ley's discovery of the sources of the Nile, and
declares that the journeys which have had this
result are unsurpassed for boldness, rapidity,
land success" Praise like this from one who
has had experience in African travel, is praise
indeed.

Nobody believes the stories Of entire harmony in
the Cabinet about the Babcock trial They may
may not be true; but fallen human nature is une-
DUAL to their acceptance If harmony shows on the
surface the knowing still insist that there
several people in the Cabinet too shrewd not to have
seen and deplored the recent mistakes. Ii would be
strange il the Attorney General not of
them. Judge Pierrepont is a successful lawyer with
large reputation and larger practice. He has
chance to be Attorney General yet precisely fourteen
and half months We believe he means to do
right any way but with the length of his term in
his mind he knows well enough that at any rate he
can't afford to do anything else. What the Attorney
General needs Is 10 realize that in "a sense he too is
on trial. The removal of Henderson was such mis-
take that it is as essential for the Attorney Cen
era il is for the President. that the trial of Bah
cock should be transparcntly fair, aud the conduct
Of the prosecution conspicuousy vigorous.
Editor Foster has done what great many people
do--hc has changed his mind after seeing Mr.
Blaine. Before he went down TO Washington he
was quite that he had never written the letter
attributed 10 him in The Maine Standard although
Inc might have written something family resembling

his denials All he has to say is, Suppose Ibid

THE APPRAIsEMENT BILL.

From our LEGISLATIVE proceedings IL
will be seen that tho House bill relating
to the appraisement of property sold
under judicial process, and requiring 1t
to bring two-thirds Of the appraised
value, was laid on the table in the House.
Just such law has been in operation in
Ohio for the last twenty years, and must
have proven satisfactory or 1t would
have been repealed before this
time. We cannot SEQ that the
law would be of any great
benefit to the people OF our State, nor do
we sec that 1t could have worked anyhsrm.
Owing to the great and general impression
of all business, and more especially IN
the farming districts, there seem to be
an uneasy, restless disposition on the part
Of the people. They want something
exactly what it ia they don't seem to
know. to relieve them from embar-
rassment. 1t seems to be expected
that the Legislature will do some
thing for their relief. That body
seems to be AT rs much loss to know
what to do as the people are as to
what they want. Numerous petitions
are flooding the Legislature, praying tor
a Stay law, the passage of the usury bill,
or Of measures similar to those contem-
plated bv the bill above referred to.
There is no question but what there is
general expectation Throughout the
rural districts, that something must be
done, and we know of no measure OF that
character, from which rs little
damage to the commercial and
manufacturing centres will result,
and ms much good to the
complaining class as the appraisemsnt
bill. 1t i. a protection to the debtor
class and is not unfair to the creditor.
Tie true standard of assessment will be
the actual cash value which in hard
times would be low, and the creditor
ought not demand a greater sacrifice
than this

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS

The entire session of Judge Gresham's
Court, yesterday, in Indianapolis, was
occupied in hearing the argument in the
Hill case.
The Indianapolis Brass and Supply
Company, doing business on South Della
waro street made an assignment yestor.
day for the benefit of their creditors.
Assets, $4,000; liabilities $4,000. The
failure was occasioned by their inability
to make collections. About 100 men are
thrown out of employment.
The inquest over the bodies of those
lost by the Deutschland has been "on-
cluded. The jury, after celebrating
three hours, rendered verdict "that
the victims came to their death by ex-
posure or drowning; that the primary
cause of the wreck was that the captain,
in consequence of the state OF weather,
lost his reckoning, but no criminal act Is
attributed to him

when he listened to BABCoCK's dictates.
He should either have insisted that his
orders as they existed be carried out, or
should have resigned his Office"
This is the first alluslon to the Presi-
dent, which, little further on, Is vir-
tually repeated in these words.
A couple of days later Douglass tele'
grsphed Brooks: "The order telling you
to report to Tuition is suspended 'NoO,
why did Douglass bend the supple hinges
of the knee, and permit any interference
by the PRESIDENT This was Douglass
own business, and he stood responsible
for it under his official oath. He cos
bound 10 listen TO no dictatton from me
President, Babcock, or any Other officer,
and il wds has duty to see that that orde''
was carried out, or 10 resign"
That is all he said; the only "refec-
ton" on the sacred person of His Excel
lency that he made. What can any
man see so terrible in that? He was
simply telling what he knew to be unde-
niable truths, and he was sufilciehtly
fearless to have told them, even had they
been still more hurtful. There was clear
~ nothing in these remarks to justify
sucb uItrs action as was adopted, and
tho only conclusion which can reasona-
blv be reached, is that the President
merely used them as a preteXt for getting
rid of an obnoxious prosecutor, whom he
regarded as an obstacle in the way of his
plans.
But whether the President caused Mr.
HENDERSON to be removed for alleged
dlsrespect to him and his high office. or
whether he had it done in the interests of
his bosom friend or not, makes really
very little difference. 1t was, and is so
regarded, An unjustifable and high
handed casting aside OF one
who had proven himself to be most eff
Gent in performing the work he had in
hand at the very moment his services
were especially needed. His arbitrary
