who First Exposed 1T.

Our thlrd-term neighbor, the Times,
has repeatedly claimed the credit of hav-
ing been the first to expose this vilIainy
of its party leaders. 1t has rebuked the
"modesty" of The CLARION in having
incidently mentioned that the scheme had
'long since" been exposed and denounced
in these columns, and in a later issue it
takes the Vicksburg Herald to task for
its ignorance of the (assumed) fact that
the Times was the fret to expose and
GO condemn the fraudulent corporation.
We are free to admit that the Times has
displayed commendable zeal in ventila
ting the rascally concern, but it is, never |
theless true that it did not make the dis
covery and publish its knowledge of the
fact until after it fell out with the regular
organization of its party, under whose
auspices the scheme was concocted and
carried out But for that quarrel
over the spoils, it is likely that to this
hour the public, so far as the editor of
the Times is concerned, would have been
in blissful ignorance Of the villainy. We
notice that he worked with admirable '
discipline in the traces of Warner, who
was the manager-in-chief of the Radical :
party in the late canvass ;-out-H eroded
Herod in shouting the bloody shirt slogan |
OF. the Executive Committee of which he :
was the head, and of which French was =
an active agent, but was az mute as a 7
mouse on the subject of the fraudulent Il
corporation" although he knew that Y
Radical victory would mean victory for ST

THE MONUMENT TO GENERAL CUSTER.

from the Cleveland Lender, July 17.s
The Custer Monument Fund in New York amounts
already nearly $4,000. Small associations to pro-
mote the monument enterprise sprlnging up In
quarters, and doubt the required sum
will be raised. Mr.. Clark Mills the sculptor oheVa
for $4,000 to model AID cast in bronze an
equestrian of General Custer the dress and
long hair which he used to wear in 1866 he used
TO look coming down upon enemy with his horse al
a run and his sabre poised for a blow Here at last is
subject for real equestrian portrait, one which,
without dstorting the TRUTH be invested with tho
spirit and sentiment which are such essential acccE
sores OF art
At the time there appears in various ncwspa.
pcrs the usual thrifty suggestions by frugal correspond
enis, that instead of wasting money monument
TO General Custer. Congress and tho friends
OF tho dead General had better give it ia
Mrs. Custer to live upon Ordinarily there
happily it is needless in he present instance Con-
gress has gwen her pension, as we'll as one to Gen.
eral Cusers father and mother. The lie of the
dead officer was insured for $4,000, which,
means received from her father. Will make
her comfortable. She has children, and
she is tender, devoted vile, who would deem any
money spent to perpctuac and honor the memory oi
her dead husband far more precious than II gwen To
herself. There all but universal sentiment
throughout the country that the character OF General
Custer and the manner OF his death de-
mand that his memory be honored by some
thing that will convey meaning to posterlty.
This ought to end all questions OF the propriety
OF the monument enterprise Whether Mr. Clark Mills
is tho best American sculptor to undertake the work
point to be discussed after the fond has been cd
These points. however may bo considered settled, by
common consent and illness: General Custer should
have monument; ii should bo equestrian statue.
and it should be cast from the bronze captured
from Lees army by Custer's division at Five Forks
and Appomattox.

SLANDERING AN ARTIST.

In Marine Court, Chambers, yesterday, before Judge
Goepp, motion was made TO vacate order OF arrest
against Mrs Hattie T. McLane the ground that she

made was brought by young artist named Clara
Hopkins. 1t appeared that the defendant only
married woman, but the mother of iour children. 1t
conended on her behalf by her counsel Mr. Henry
L. Dennison, that order Of arrest would not ho
against married woman in an action for tort under
law that Tor the tort OF wife the husband
cable TO action joining both husband and
wife deendants that the section OF the code pro-
ccGure authorizing the arrest OF married women for
wiu injury TO character did not abrogato the old rule
of law In opposition it contcndcd that the code
had changed the old rule and authorized the arrest
rhe Court held that under the code both husband
vile might be Joined IN such action, and
order OF arrest will lie AGAINST both. Counsel
or the defendant then moved to reauco ball. which
lad been fixed at 81 600 the ground that the papers
contained allegation that tho defendant non
resident or intended to remove from the State. Tho
tourt granted this motion to the extent OF allowing
Mrs McLane to go at large on her own recognizance
