WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 3. Y,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 2, VI.
The prompt action of Mr. Evarts rela.
tive to the recent outrage upon the
whaling schooner ELLEN Rizpah," Capt
Dunham, of Provincetown Mass, has di-
rected attention anew to the Admins
tration of our State Department The
facts relative to this vessel as given at the
State Department are about as follows:
While south of Cuba she was overhauled
by Spanish cruiser, boarded, her pa
pers demanded and not proving satislac-
tory her commander was placed in con-
finement and his vessel detained. -Four
days subsequently q Spanish Frigate ar
rived and after another examination OF
the schooner's papers, Dunhamis release
was ordered and he permitted toresume
his voyage On bis arrival at Key West
he reported these facts to the Custom
House officials there, who in turn com
municated them to the State Depart
ment After examination a revenue
steamer was sent TO obtain Capt Dun
hams affidavit, who, III the meantime
had sailed again from Key West. The
search was unsuccessful, and Mr. Eyarts
acting on the information already in
hand, demanded indemnity for the yes
sells detention and an apology and prom
ise of good behavior in the future, all oi
which were promised by the Madrid
Government The course pursued is
generally commended.
While the Presidents late order, pro,
hibiting Federal officers from any but
the most nominal participation in parti'
zan affairs, has attracted only moderate
criticism and very little excitement

TOGETHER.

Babies that on morn Of May,
Laughing in the sunshine play;
Babies to whom the longest day
Seems to fly!
Babies to whom all things are TOYS,
Life a sweet that never clogs,
Home a fount Of simple joys,
Never dry.
Babies so bright, 50 blest, falr'
With dimpled cheeks and golden hair;
Can they be-that happy pair
You and j?
Babies no longer, now they stray,
Girl and boy, beside the hay
On sunshine holiday
Fond, but shy.
Smiles are many, words are few,
Hearts are light when life is new
And ewes are bluer than the blue
OF the sky.
Laughing schoolboy brave and free,
Little maiden fair to see
Gath'ring seaweed-can they he
You and !?
Boy and girl are man and wife;
Hand in hand they walk for life;
Peace and JOY be theirs, and strife
Come not nigh!
Wanderers by the eternal deep
Whose shores are time, SO may they keel
Together, and together sleep
By-and-byl
Sleep in death when day is done,
Wake to life beyond the sun;
One on earth, in Heaven one
You and T.

among Department officials here, the
response from other parts where officials
live more Immediately in contact with
the waters, many Of them Old time lead
ers, indicates a good deal Of dissatisfac-
ton. and there is much curiosity mani
tested to learn the Presidents intentions
towards Mr. Wilson, President Of the
late Republican State Convention a Des
Moines, Iowa. That gentleman Is a
government director Of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad and the prominent part he
took in the Convention will oblige the
President to notice the violation of the
order as any other course would be re-
garded as confession Of defeat without
an effort to enforce his authority. It is
generally understood here that Secretary
McCrary left Washington for the pur-
pose Of quoting any feeling cf resent
ment toward the Administration on ac-
count of the Southern policy, before it
had time to formally express itself
through the convention; and it is urged
that the President is estopped from any
interference with Mr. Wilson until he
shall have disciplined the members Of
his OWN official household who so grossly
disregarded orders. On the whole while
there are very few here sufficiently de-
voted 'tokick against the pricks" thereby
jeopardising their official heads, the tenor
of advices from the country at large
seem to indicate that a goodly number
will embrace the OpOrtunitv to earn a
martyrs crown.
There is a good deal OF anxiety felt
here in army circles and by the public,
regarding General Howard and his little
army. The disparity between the num-
Der of his men and the force it is believ-
edi Chief Joseph can concentrate, jusifes
the apprehensions often expressed. Had
he every man available for the purpose
with him, he would not be overly well
prepared to meet the thoroughly aroused
savages. But he has not. They are
scattered over a wide extent of territory,
so rough that concentration is very diff
cult with his deficient means of trans
por;ation, and can only be accomplished
after the lapse Of considerable time. His
stores must be transported more than
hundred miles On the backs ofhis horses
and mules, both insufficient in number
On the contrary the Indians are thor
oughly acquainted with the country and
will choose their own position. Their
stores are reported as ample and they
are well armed and led by intelligent
fighters. A knowledge of all these and
many other disadvantages which How
ard has to contend against often leads to
the publicly expressed hope that we are
not destined TO be shocked by another
tragedy like that of the Custer massacre.
The President returned from his Dos
ton visit last evening. During his alb
sence preparations were made for the
family to go Immediately to the cottage
at Soldiers Home, on its return, though
the White House will continue to be the
Executive office. \ large accumulation
of Office hunters are here, and they will
have to be disposed of before any other
business of importance can be attended

A NEW AND WONDERFUL FRUIT.

Rev. Henry Loomis, San Francisco
speaks of it as follows: The Diospyroi
Kali, known as the date plum or japa.
nese persimmoD, has been grown in
California, and its successful culture
ftliy established. The tree is highly
ornamental, is a prolific bearer, is as
hardy as the pear, and ripens as early.
The fruit is solid, and can be shipped
across the continent. When dried il
equals figs, and can be kept long
time. 1t is of bright yellow, orange
or vermillion color, and is unsurpassed
for the table, being thought by some to
equal to the peach or strawberry. It's
average weight is from one half pound
to over a pound. The wood is valua-
BILE for manufacturing, being a species
of the ebony order, Ebernace. Guilt.

MED of course, as the authorities would
not permit such 4 tampering with life
but what a sensation L would create
were ii to be attempted. 4 mere can
ter Up to the flies Of theatre would for
the future be looked upon as a very
tame performance.
Our ears are after all to be deafened
By the sound Of firearms and crackers
on the glorious Fourth. Unfortunate
ly the glory yanishes as crows feet ap
pear, and We forget We were once boys
to whom pinch, crackers and torpedoes
were bliss, and pistol paradise, albeit
savoring more of the opposite region.
L Is generally understood matter that
when people 90 abroad they take empty
trunks, and that they return with full
ones. Indeed many gentlemen consid-
er that what they save by purchasing
their clothing in England pays the ex-
pense Of the trip, besides giving them
the pleasure Of the trip. If that is the
case with mems goods it is far more de-
cisively the case with women's, and yet
it was an awkard thing for Mr. Turnure
when his wife and his sister returned
with such a surplus of finery that to
shirll all the duties was farce. Mr.
Turnure had just been one Of the Inves-
tigating Committee on Custom House
frauds, and had expressed himself very
plainly in regard to this species. The
duties we're finally levied, there being
no intention 10 defraud, as it was all
personal wearing apparel, but fishiona
bic women require such quantities. The
duties last week on passengers baggage
amounted to$12000.
Statements are once more in order.
There is to be a Tweed statement yanoth-
er Townsend statement, and a Bryant
statement, and after all the names have
been called the mixture will be thick
and slab as that stirred up by Macbeth's
witches.
Wagner it is said is coming to Ameri-
ca, and Thomas is TO be his right hand
man.
Bryant's new Library of Poetry and
Song" is a charming collection. The
first part Of ten numbers is ready, and
there is scarcely a familiar poem that
one does not find in its pages. 1t is one
of the finest co!lectians in the English
language, and invaluable to the student.

Suicide in Charlotte.

The Charlotte Observer contains
the particulars Of the suicide of DR..
Thos. G. Caldwell, near that place
on Saturday, the End inst. the
body was found lying in u dense
thicket, with the throat cut from
ear to ear. The evidence before the
coroners jury was, in substance, rs
follows &: The deceased had been in
low spirits for over q year, caused
by uneasiness concerning the saliva
ton OF his soul. His conduct led
the family to fear that he had sever
al times contemplated suicide On
Friday night a chain was found sus-
pended from a joist in the corn crib
in manner which led them to fear
that he hadarranged it for destroy
ing himself During tho following
day, he was watched very closely,
but about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
managed to slip away from tho
house. A few hours after his de-
parture a search was instituted and
kept up till 8 o'clock that night,
when tho searching party were
attracted by the bark of q dog
which was Immediately recognized
as that Of tho dog which invariably
accompanied DR.. Caldwell whenever
no left home. On going in the
direction from which the sound pro-
coedod, they were mot by the dog,
which Immediately turned and led
them to the spot where the body
was found. About foot from his
right hand lay, covered with blood,
an open razor, which Mrs. Caldwell
subsequently recognized as the
property of her husband
Dir. Caldwell was far advanced in
life-probably about seventy years
old. In his younger days, he lived
in Morning Star township, and did
lucrative business Later, he led
a very dissipated life, gave up his
practice, and at the time of his death
lived on q little plaa tation owned by
Sheriff E. g. Grler. About q year
ago he reformed and connected him
self with the church since then 20
has led an upright life, spending
much of his time in praying and
in reading and studying tho Bib'e.
There seems to be no room for
doubling that tho act was q result
of arrangement, induced by NOR
bid dwelling on the su 'ject of reli-
gion.

Messrs. Editors :.

That the stockholders Of the Char
lotte Columbiaa and Augusta Railroad,
the community and the Legislature
may understand one Of the methods
adopted by the managers of this
road to drive away from it business
for the benefit of the Wilmington
Road, contrary to fair dealing and
contrary to law, I will state an inci-
dent of recent occurrence:
Cummings & Co., of this town,
made contract for the delivery of
bacon from Baltimore to Charlotte,
for twenty five cents per one hundred
pounds, intending to pay the local
rate from Charlotte to Winnsboro,
being twenty-five cents thus making
freight from Baltimore to Winns
boro fifty cents per one hundred
pounds, the freight Uia the Whining
ton and Columbia Road being seven
ty-five cents per one hundred poundss
When the bacon reached Charlotte,
tho agent there, mtlor orders from
Mr. Pope, superintendent of trans4
portation, refused to receive it in
the depot, and persisted in this for
several days. Being threatened. with
prosecution, he finally received and
forwarded it, but required prepay.
ment of freight, not twenty-five
cents, which is their established rate,
but forty centa per ono hundred
pounds. This was paid under pro-.
test, and suit brought by Cummings
u Go. to recover tho ovcrcharge.
On yesterday tho railroad COM
pany refunded the overcharge, and
paid costs Of the suit, rather than
have their unjust conduct ventilated
IN a court Of justice.
1t may be well for Mr.. Pope and
bis employers to awake to the fact
that South Carolina, after eight
years subjugation to government
foul and loathsomo, has again
emerged into light, and once more
has a Legislature and q judiciary
who cannot be appcascd by favors
nor bought with money. I hope
this knowledge will induce them to
give up the hope Of building up the
Wilmington Road on the ruins of
tho Charlotte, Columbia, and Angus.
