wDr. Mary Walker has Il HuI

u- DR.. Mary Walker has little
claim against the United States. DR.
Walker, alone of her sex, wears the BIZ
flrcated lower garment usually monop-
olized by the other sex, yet still she is
"yery like woman" in that she gives
the treasury officials no peace day and
night, bui posters them continually with
her little ''claim." Finally, in anguish
of soul, Secretary Morrill, ordered that
she be kept out of the department, I'M
less the under officials were willing to
see him go crazy and tear around and
smash things. So the other day, when
she entered room in the department
and went 10 scribbling at desk, II door
keeper CALAMITY put his arm around her
waist and forcible escorted her to the
door, the little lady all the way belabor-
ing him with an umbrella and epithets.
She has now brought suit against the
doorkeeper for the same, on the ground
that, as an American citizen, she had a
right in the department, The door
keepers defense is, that he did not eject
ber in her capacity of an American citi-
ZeD, but as a nuisance.

IhOse Pledges,

Great noise is made in certain South
crn quarters over pledges said to have
been given by Representative Foster
and MIR. Stanley Matthews of Ohio as
to the policy President Hayes would
pursue when he should be inaugurated
1t does not appear that anybody was, OF
need to have been, deceived in this
matter. The direct authority of Presi-
dent Hayes as to the pledges was not
claimed or even implied. II was known
that his general intentions were that tho
South should have local self-govern-
ment rs completely as the North. As
TO the steps for cflecling this. and the
quickncss of bringing il about. Messrs
Foster and Matthews could only speak
for themselves, and those with whom
they were in communication knew it
Where, then, is the grievance? The
president still adhcres faithfully TO tho
policy iorcshadowcd in his acceptance
letter and outlined in his inaugural
The delay in lis full application is mere.
ly temporary. and is for valid and una
voidablc public reasons.-[ Boston Jour
nal.

To- During the presidential campaign
the rallyimg cry of the Democratic party
was "Tildcn and REFORM" but nobod,
thought il meant anything more than t
pleasant catchword which sounded wei
and would hurt nobody. After election
in fact. the party organs used moro
"cuss words" than "reform'' words
But there were some who didn't forget
their pledges. Tilden forgot his before
election, and was detected in some o
his neiarious schemes to secure the pres
idency by corrupt means. Not so Mr.
Hayes. lie said but little, but when in
augurated il soon became evident thai
he meant all he said. and intended Il
carry oul his pledges, whether thos'
who made the party platform meant i
or not. And so to-day we have a re
form president, who is in earnest in ia,
matter. and the people rejoice.

What Chamberlain Claims.

Chamberlain says that there has been
no change in the condition of affairs in
South Carolina for some time. Every
thing has remained az adfu quo. He
denies that there has been any such re-
cognition of Hampton by the courts of
the state as northern people have been
led 10 suppose. 1t is well known that
pending the decision. which would
have involved the title to the governor
ship. Chief Justice Moses of the sill
prcmc court died, leaving that court
equally divided. Judge Willard did
write an order, the effect of which
would have been to recognize Hamp-
ton: but before it was filed he changed
his mind and gave an opinion adverse
to Hampton. The democrats of South
Carolina now claim that this order,
which was never filed, is valid, and has
taken effect; while Chamberlain and
his friends claim that it has no more va
lidity than any other private paper OF
the judge. OF the eight circuit Judges
in the state, seven have accepted theil
salaries from the 100000 fund which
has been collected by Hampton, and
four of the judges have given opinions
recognizing llampton's title to the gov
crnorShip.

- Considerable of stir exists IN
Washington circles, because il is alleged
that Congressman Foster of Ohio, and
Stanley Matthews pledged themselves
while, the electoral commission bill was
under discussion, that, if the Democrats
would vote for the bill and Gov. Hayes
should in consequence be declared cleo
ted, he would recognize the Democratic
claimants in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana. If they did so pledge themselves
it was evidently without any authority
from Gov. Hayes. But still. it is TO be
hoped that he will recognize those two
worthies-as usurpers and law-break-
ers.

Jesse III. Lewis was convicted last
Monday at Newfane, of murder in the
first degree. The jury was out about
four hours. Judge Barrett's charge,
two hours in length, was very able and
impartial, covering the whole ground.
Much direct rs well rs circumstantial
evidence has been given in the case,
and Lewis guilt proven beyond n rea-
sonable doubt. II is generally conceded
rs just verdict. AT some parts of the
trial the accused exhibited much emo
ton, but on the declaration of the yer-
diet showed but little excitement, though
very pale and trembling slightly. The
exceptions filed by his counsel upon
one part of Judge Barreti's charge are
unimportant.

The FOrty-iiilh Congress.

A Washington dispatch says, Mr..
Adams, clerk of The House Of Repre-
sentativcs, is still laboring on the roll OF
the next House, and devoting himself
with remarkable singlcness of purpose
to make the Democratic majority rs
large ~ possible. The roll has moi yet
been entirely completed, and will not be
so long as the slightest excuse can be
found on which 10 base technical Obcc-
tons TO The certificates of Republican
members elect. In his zeal 10 obtain Il
good Democratic majority, Mr.. Adams
assumes 10 pass upon the election and
qualification of members, right which
can alone be exercised, under the Con-
stitution, by the House itself after il has
been formally and legally organized.
The latest within Of Mr.. Adams is to
omit from the roll the name of James
b. Bcltord, Republican member elect
| from Colorado. Mr.. Belford was elect
ed in October last to the Forth-lourih
Congress, but was prevented from TAX
ing his seat until Jan. 81 last, the pur-
pose Of the Democrats being, by relus-
ing to acknowledge Colorado as a state
in the Union, 10 prevent its electoral
vote being counted for Hayes. This
purpose was abandoned, however, and
aller considerable debate, Mr.. Bedford
was admitted. AT the October election,
under the law of the new state, an cleo
ton was also held for member of the
Forty-fliih Congress. Both parties par
ticipated in this election, Bedford being
the Republican and Thomas NJ. Patter-
son the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Belford holds the properly au-
thenticated certificate of election from
the governor of Colorado, which shows
him to have been regularly elected in
accordance with the laws of Colorado.
and which gives him the prima facie
right to.a scat in Congress. But Mr.
Adams proposes TO brush away the
seal of the new state and place on the
roll the name of n man who was defeat
ed by the people by | 900 majority.
