We are exceedingly sorry that any

of the South Carolinians toward the
Chief Justice. 1t gives those guilty ol

that the Charleston aristocracy had
snubbed the highest dignitary-nexi
to the President-in the land aud that
heffeU very sore about it'll TEis they
wuuld construe as an undeniable ad-
mission that their socal position was
sueh that they had in their power to
administer such snub. Nothing can
he farther from the truth. None of the
.saristorracies'' which have effiicted
this land are SO thoroughly pinchback
as that of South Carolina, 1t has never
had either culture, brains, courage or
apeestry-ene of which at least is
eIways considered necessary to found

solely upon their continued self-ssser-

the beginning Of our history a little
knot OF self-sufficjent people in that
section have devoted their whole ener-
gies to blowing up the bubble of their
social importance, and SO completely
havethey been engaged in this that
they could find time for little else.

ONE of the most atrocious crimes ev'
er perpetrated in Ohio was the murder
in Hooking county, on Saturday, near
the village of Gore, and about seven
miles from Logan, of Mr.. John Wei
don, his widowed sister and her grown
daughter. who was brutally outraged
beforehand. The murdered man was
a thrifty farmer, and had just sold his
wool and was supposed to have moEey
about the house. Two men are under
arrest for being engaged in the com
mission of the crimes. The suthori-
ties were compelled to remove the
prisoners to Lancaster TO keep them
out of the hands of lynchers.

Finance i'm Assorted Sizes.

The State of Ohio produces more
finance and of a more diversified quail
ity, one year with another, than any
other territory OF equal area on the
habitable globe. No able bodied citi.
zen of Ohio considers himself equipped
for the ordinary duties of life unless he
possesses fiscal system of his own, So
that fiscal systems are as prevalent in
Ohio as theories of the universe are in
less favored lands. This year the
by an appr aching State election and
the depreciation In value of Alexander
Hamilton's silver dollar, until every
body has little more thsn he can con
sumo, and consequently Ohio finance
in large quantities has been thrown
upon the general market. 1t is, notic-
ed that the article doesn't "ruu even, "
no two lots being found which. can be
graded in the same class; but, they. all
have cheap money and stretchy
measure OF value as central Characters
tics. The more modern of these Ohio
financiers may be at daggers drawn on
other points, but they are sur g to agree
in longing for dollar with fewer than
100 cents in it, which will expand and
contract with the weather.
7 The gutta percha coin movement is
now v ry promising. A gutta percba
dollar would be cheaper and more pli-
able than silver even, would give more
aid and comfort to the debtor class,
would be more effectual in swamEing
credit, and would enable an Ohio gem
tleman to think he was rich when he
owned very little except his fiscal sys-
tenn. But the civilized world is not
educated up to the Ohio level, and the
Government Of the United States can
hardly afford to experiment with any
more or more elastic standards of value.
There are certain obligations OF honesty
and honor and certain laws regulating
exchange which cannot be violated
outside of Ohio without some incon-
venience to the violator. 1t would
not prove wholesome for the Govern
ment even to entertain the question
whether or no il is not proper to vio-
late these laws just little for the sake
of carrying Ohio. 1t would be more
assuring if the Administration would
let Ohio politics and Ohio finance
severely alone, and disavow the inco-
herent opinions which have been cred
tied to 1t for the purpose of bulling
the stock of some candidate for Cover
nor or Senator. Everybody approves
the sound doctrine of the President as
in Mr.. Sherman's letter con-
cerniDg the new 4 per cents, and The
will invariably be sup
ported If it entertains- no thought of
compromise with the silver delirium
but takes an open and positive stand
upon those financial principles which
have been demonstrated to be fixed
and certain.-[N. Y. Tribune.

Mrs. Isabella Matthews, mother Of
Senator Stanley Matthews, died in
Avondale on Wednesday morning Of
typhoid pneumonia. She was 73 years
old, and has survived her husband 25
years. He was professor of mathemat-
les at the Miami University, where
most of his sons were graduated. She
was charming woman of a strong and
kindly nature, and found plenty of Oc-
cupation for head and hands in bringing
up upon Prof. Matthews's pitifnl salary

Mr.. TILDEN is too confiding. In
1868 he allowed Tweed to send out an
infamous ballot box stuf1ng circular
over his name. In nearly all the years
of the war he allowed the internal rev
enue officers to make his income re-
turn, and in so doing they failed TO re-
turn a sum sufficiently large. Last fai
he allowed Pelton, Patrick and Cronin
TO tangle him up in the Oregon fiasco,
And now he is prominently mentioned
among those who advised MIR. Fairchild
toskeep his promise with Tweed, al
though by so doing he would have
been able to have compelled every
Ring thief to have paid in his last
dollar. Unfortunate for so good

HAMILTON COUNTY will not be in
the field for Governor this year, both
Gov. Young and Judge Taft having
declined. II is no secret, we believe,
that Judge Taft will be candidate for
the Unlted States Senate, to the extanl
that he would not decline the position
IL rendered. This being the case, il
would not be proper, even if there
were no other reason, that he should be
a candidate for Governor. But, how
ever this may be, the Republican party
will have the assistance of Judge Taf
in the approaching campaign. HI

THE following summing up by the
New York Herald will give some im-
preston of the Russian designs in
crossing the river at Gaiatz and Ibrail:
The movement of the Fourteenth
corps of the Russian army across the
Danube from Ibrail and Galatz is the
first important step taken by the Army
of the Danube toward the occupation
of Bulgaria. The object of the crossing
so far to the northwsrdO of the Kustendje
and TchernavOda railroad is clearly the
seizure of the right bank of the river as
far rs Hirsova, after which the concen-
tration of troops for the cutting of the
railway can be easily effected. The
Turkish gunboats now in the vicinity
of Matchin will be forced to retire up
the river, and the navigation of all the
channels will be free to the Russian
gunboats, tugs, transports and pontOOn
boats. These will follow the Russian
advance as it ascends the Danube and
will be Immediately available at any
point for the establishment and protec-
lion of communication between the
banks. The points selected for the
bridges by which the Russians are
within the area protected by the tor
pedo lines established Immediately al
ter the occupation of Ibrail and Galatz,
above the former and below the latter
city. Matchin, on the right bank and
opposite Ibrail, is still held by the
Turks, but must be evacuated as soon
as the Russian army corps is in posses
sion of the territory Immediately
around the bridges on that aside
Otherwise the garrison would be forced
to surrender, as its retreat eastward t.
Tultcha or southwark toward HirsOva
would be cut off. Matehin can offer nc
serious resistance even il the Turks
were mad enough to attempt to hold
| it, because it would have to depend en-.
tirely on its own resources and would
be attacked on all sides. 1t is highly
probable that another Russian column
will be organized to attack Isaktchu
and Tultcha successfully, thus forcing
the Turks to retire toward the coast al
Rabadagh and Sulina. 1.-THE Russians
can effect this movement with success
the SuIina branch of the Danube
which is the only one navigable fol
large vessels, can be easily closed and
the Turkish feet completely cut of
from any part in the defense of the
Danube or interference with the Rus
sian depots along its banks.

SIR-I desire to call your attention to
the following paragraph in a letter ad-
dressed by me to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the conduct to be observed
by officers of the General Government
in relation to elections:
"No officer should be required or
permitted to take part in the manage
ment of political organization, eau
cuses, conventions or election cam
paigns. Their right to vote and to ex-
press their views on public questions,
either orally or through the press, is
not denied, provided it does not inter.
fere with the discharge of their official
duties. No assessment for political
purposes on officers or subordinates
should be allowed" .ie
This rule is applicable to every de-
partment of the civil service. Itshould
be understood by every officer of the
General Government that he is expect.
ed to conform his conduct to its require
ments. Very respectfully,
