SMUGGLING.

It has just been found that there are
many professional smugglers who ply
their business in the guise of steerage
passengers across the Atlantic. A num-
Der of that class were caught Thursday,
on the steamship Herder, of the Ham
burg line. The enigrants were put on
the wharf that morning, and their bag
gage was examined. Inspector Joseph
l.. Chapman set his eyes on fine large
chest, neatly painted, owned by sharp
looking young German named Wilhelm
Wendlans. Mr.. Chapman pushed through
the sOiled linen on top, and his hand
touched some hard substance. Chap
man asked the owner Of the chest
question, and the emigrant Cor as he
proved to be, smuggler), said he spoke
no English. Out on the dock went the
miscellaneous assortment of baggage and
a false bottom was discovered. In the
intervening space was quantity of val
liable silks and laces, tightly packed and
III good condition. 81 viii make you
all right, boss, if you don't go to makes
no troubles said the non-English
speaking German, but his chest went to
the seizure room, and he disappeared.
Among steerage passengers were two
singu'arly plump women. Their faces
were sharp enough, but their waists and
skirts were suspiciously ample. At the
command of Mr.. Chapman they went in
to the Castle Garden tender, where Mrs.
Ferris was inspecting. At her request,
they unwillingly removed their dresses
end petticoats, and the latter were taken
in charge by the officers. Each petit
coat weighed between thirty and fifty
pounds. AT the seizure rooms in the
custom-house they were ripped open,
and enough articles to start ladies'
haberdashery shop were taken from be-
tween the Innings. There were silk
dress patterns, laces, edgings, lace, silk
and Shetland shawls, and a thousand
knickknacks, so per cent. cheaper abroad
than here. The women said they lived
in Memphis, Tenn. They were allowed
to depart, with the loss of their petit
coats. Another smuggler wore Ger
man plush coat, heavy enough for a
Greenland winter. A clutch at the coat
tails was enough to show that it was
lined with goods. The wearer was told
| to put on a summer coat, and his plush
went to the sei&ure-poou, where an as
sortment Of laces, silks, ribbons etc., of
quality to match the petticoat stock,
were taken from it. The wearer, whose
name was not taken, was permitted to
depart. A trunk containing fifteen hun
dred cigars was seized on the steamship
Columbus, from Havana, which arrived
that-day.

Hon. Jos. RANKIN.-A Chicago Times
reporter interviewed the editors OF the
State, in convention, last week, in order
to learn their individual preference for

Harrison Ludlngton, and he found sew
erai OF them who world like to see the
Hon Jos. Rankin, State Senator from
Manitowoc county nominated for that
position by the State Democratic Con-
vention. There are number of good
men ard true in the democratic ranks
who would make splendid governors,
but if the Convention sees fit to honor
Mr.. Rankin With its choice we shall feel
certain Of his success at the November
election. No man in the State is
more conversant with the affairs of the
State than he. He is well known in all
parts Of Wisconsin and is popular
among ali classes. In this county he

THE Detroit Tribune has received, in
answer to notes sent out by the editor,
letters from thirty two prominent Re
publicans of that State. Seventeen of
these indorse the Presidents Southern
policy; eight give qualified indorss-
ment; three are doubtful Of the wisdom
or justice of the policy, and still more
doubtful as to its effects, and four
emphatically condemn it. But while
Republicans are divided on the policy,
there is no sign of party disintegration.

ALEXANDER STEPHENS III q recent let
tel correct an impression as to his posi-
ton on the Presidential question. He
says: ''Mr. Hayes holds the Executive
Office by legal tenure that can never
be successfully assailed, and which
ought not TO be questioned. He holds
it by judicial decision rendered by the
highest judicial tribunal ever constituted
in this country. This is the substance,
though not the exact language, perhaps,
used BY me on the occasion referred TO.

Yesterday q most d~isersesful scene

offence which the old man had given

anes Of his boundsn duty 70 the stock
holders OF . mining company Of which
he IL President. he had prosecuted him
for Incorporating the funds Of the
company. Had he not done 20. under
the peculiar circumstances. he would
have been unworthy to hold the posi-
ton which he occupies he would have
been q traitor to the men who have en-
trusted their property 70 his keeping. He
has acted like a man. throughout, striv-
ing only to do exact justice to his con.
stituents. And for this. he ID assaulted
in a public place by a maj whose physi-
cal power and activity 10 vastly superior

is Colonel &. l.. Weller. the President

I've cot to get even with you. You've

see how Colonel Weller had ''ruined
him for life." The charges were
brought before ths Grand Jury. and that
body declared him innocent. - We BE-
lisvo justly. for the money Of the CON-
pauy which he used % faithfully
charged to him ON the books, and was
t,ksn ON the authority Of Captain Cur

man In virsinia who thought less Of
