The confederate brigadiers of the
House have taken it upon themselves to
look into the Presidents private affairs,
and have asked him to tell how long he
has been absent from Washington, dur
ing his term of Office, and also what he
has been about during his absences He
very politely but substantially tells them
that it is ''none of their business" He
proposes to run his branch of govern
ment either on the banks of the Potomac,
or for a short season during the summer
months on the shores of the Atlantic. il
he chooses so to do. The President cites
instances as to the custom of other Presi

The political scandal-mongers are I'M
usually busy now before the meeting OF
Presidential Conventions, Blaine and
Bristow having satisfactorily cleared up
the first charges, have been sPattered
again, and now Morton and Conkling
are set up for targets. There seems to
be determination on the part of rival
candidates and partizaus to so bedaub ev-
cry prominent man with scandal that he
shall be killed before the people. Mud
doesn't stick to Blaine, Bristow or Nor
ton worth a cent. There is such a thing
as overriding q business, and creating so
great disgust for a thing that sympa-
thy rises on the other side if these mud
throwers do not look out, the parties they
are trying to traduce will become all the
more respected on account of this unfair
and miserable attempt to abuse them.

The New York Democratic Conven-

Tilden as the candidate for President,
put it in the form of a promise and a
threat combined, by declaring that his
nomination would insure the vote of

nate our man and you will get the vote
of our great State; nominate somebody
else and as likely as not you WON'T

The English government refuse to
surrender Winslow, the Boston forger,
and he was to have been set tree the Sd
inst. OF course this is an abrogation
of the treaty and a new one will have

The Centennial Commission have de-
cided by vote of 26 to 8 to close the
exhibition buildings and grounds on
Sundays during the season. 1t was
urged that as some of the nations who
will visit us take no note of the Sabbath
it would be uncivil to close the doors
against them on that day, but we doubt
not they will have the politeness to
respect our laws and customs while here,
and besides we do not see how in self
respect the commission could do other
wise than they have done.

of twenty seven years. His skin is to

Hon. Jacob Estey of Brattleboro, a
sensible, practical and successful bust

mentioned as probable Republican can

Mr.. Estey is largely and favorably
known throughout the State and country
as the senior member of the firm of j.

The WEALTH OF THE LEADING
CANDIDATFs.-Speaking of Mr.. Biaine's
great wealth, am reminded that though
he be stricken out of the list of candi-
dates because of his railroad specula-
tions, we shall hardly have poor man
for our next President. On the Demo
cratic side, if the nomination be of one
Of the FIVE principal candidates, poor
man will not be taken. Tilden is proba-
bly, the wealthiest of the five. He is
put down at the 100000 or S., 0OO,-
O0O Judge Davis is the possessor of
more than 100000, and Thurman is
very rich. Bayard is well-to-do, al
though not millionaire. Hancock
has some property, it is said. Of the
Republicans who are prominent candi.
dates, Morton is said to be the poorest
and Blaine is undoubtedly the richest
of all. Conkling is possessed of some
thing over 100000, part of which he
like Blaine, has made in railroad specula
lions, He is also largely paid by sever
al wealthy corporations. Bristow ant
Hayes are both '.well off" The forme
has probably 100000, and his wifi
has received a legacy of s250,000 with

1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Wheeler o

FerOcity of the Turks.
IFrom the Troy Times.]

The real nature Of the TUX is be
ginning to fully display itself, as his
various successes over the insurgents
give him the opportunity. The recent
massacre iu Bosnia was heartiess and
brutal enough to disgrace band -oi
South Sea savages. About 300 'hris-
tains were tortured and drowned IN
the villages of Perraue and TlmOr, IL
women we're cut TO pieces at Paries, 6O
children were stoned to death at Rath-
loro, $50 girls we're murdered at L"ko-
loro, after suffering fate far worse
than death, aud 5000 Christians were
massacred at Pryedor. Such is mere
glimpse of the scenes we are getting Of
the fendish manner in which Turkey
is carrying on the war against the insur
gents. 1t is no more than what the
the world might have expected.
The nature of the Turk has never
changed froil the hour when he first
attacked the outposts Of civilization.
His career has been one of fire, piunder,
and massacre. To inciie his soldiers
to greater deeds of valor MahoWet
PROMISED the need of paradise to all
who should fall in battle, which was TO
be waged without quarter TO their
Christian foes. The Turks have been
apt pupils in this sapgulnary school,
and the civilized world is now to be
treated to the spectacle of gigantic
butchery aud arson on European soil,
and almost at the beginning Of the
twentieth century. From England We
cannot expect much besides message
of congratulation to the Sultan for bis
victories over the insurgents, but We
have a right to hope that the leading
nations Of the Continent vii! step be-
tween Turkey and its victims and
stop, if nothing else. this burning
shame to humanity. This is dury
that for the present practically anni-
h,lates all the claims of the "Eastern
question" ever dreamed of. A uation
that makes war upon women and chill
dren with all the re6nemenis of torture
is fully entitled to basty and uncer-
emonlous expulsion frou the soil it des-
ecrates.

slIlle. Mercus, the young lady who
is playing the part of military gen
eral, as did Joan of Arc, in Herze-

age, of diminutive stature, dark, and
not handsome She has squandered
the greater portion of a large for
tune in the realization of her roman
tic dreams nevertheless, she is still
in possession of more than $3.50, 900.
Her first fancy was to erect Prot
estant temple at Jerusalem, in front
of the monument supposed to be
Christ's tomb. The temple, which
cost $4,000, still exists. Her pres
ent ambition is to command bat
terry of artillery, and she recently
gave $4,000 for the purchase of guns,
but the gentleman intrusted with the
money disappeared This extraor-
binary lady is not admired, having
supported the Paris Commune.
