THE Chicago Times has the follow

THE Chicago Times has the following
in its Washington special:
There is new deal among the Grip
pied ex-federal soldier door-keepers of
the house. The law authorizes the EN-
ployment of fourteen of this class. The
present number are all Republicans.
They were all discharged to-day and
will be replaced by soldier cripples who
voted the Democratic ticket.
Whereupon the Times has the fol-
lowing in the way of editorial COM
ment:
The soldier cripples who voted the
Democratic ticket lived, we presume,
considerably south of Mason and
Dixon's line. They are now about to
reap their reward. BY the way, the
President has gone to some lengths not
considered orthodox to conciliate a
number of ex-rebels with fat offices,
and when the Senate begins to show
its grave and reverend incisors, old
died-ln-the-wool Democrats are shocked
at this exhibition. of intense, unreason-
ing partisansbip. What Offices in its gift
has the Democratic House conferred
on RepublicansP A little tit for tat, or
so melting less talk.

PLAIN TALK.

Sensible Suggestion to Senator Sharon.
Chicago, Nov. PA gentleman in
the confidence of Mr.. Sharon telegraphs
the Inter-0cean from San Francisco
that the Senator declares his business
will not permit him to leave the Pacific
coast, and that he shall so reply to the
telegram calling him to Washington. If
his presence is insisted upon lie will re-
sign. We submit that this is what he
should have done at once upon finding
it inconvenient to attend. Mr.. Sharon
owes much to his private affairs, per-
haps, bnt he certainly owes more, hold
lug the position he does, to the country.
We do not see how he can reconcile it
with his duty or his honor to disregard
the call made upon him; but, rs we
said before, if he chooses this course,
then let him make way for man with
less engrossing private cares. There
are doubtless many excellent men in
Nevada who can be induced to accept
the position and attend to the duties
that belong to it.

An Early AdiournmeD, pesirab,e.


Washington, Nov. 24.-It is report
ed tonight that the Republican Sena-
tors have arranged to make united
effort for the immediate passage of the
remaining appropriation bills and a
speedy adjournment of the session, with
a view to postponing action in the con-
tested senatorial election cases until
full force can be mustered at the regu-
lar session. This course would evil
IDENTIFY be desirable from a Republican
standpoint, but there is no probability
that a sufficient number of votes can be
secured for its adoption by the Senate.
The success of such a movement would
depend upon Patterson's being prompt
ly sent back to South Carolina upon the
requisition Of Gov. Hampton, now held
under advisement by the court of this
district, and upon Conover's being in
duced to vote for the postponement.
The former is not improbable, but the
latter is not at all likely.
The Democratic Senators had an in
formal meeting this afternoon, to dis
cuss the subject of adjournment. Vari-
GUS opinions were expressed, some favor
ing adjournment on Tuesday, to pre-
clude long debate on the Butler case.
No decision was reached.

SENATOR DAVIS, of West Virgin

SENATOR DAVIS, of West Virginia,
has become something of bore, with
his perpetual arraignment of the Book
keeping of the Treasury Department
under former administrations, but if
there is anything in the world that the
West Virginia Senator is master of it is
the science of arithmetic as applied to
large business transactions, and he has
after years of consideration of this SUBJ
ject, made such formidable showing
of irregularities that it is well enough
for the Senate to give the matter the
careful investigation now ordered.

About Blaine.

Washington, Nov. 24.-There is a
curious story afioat about Blaine's case.
He appears on record paired with
Grover. 1t is stated that when he went
away he arranged to pair with Lamar.
Grover has gone home and has not
been in the Senate for several days.
Lamar, it is said, had his pair with
Blaine transferred to Grover, who
could not be present under any circum-
stances, and thus secured an additional
Democratic vote. The conditions of the
pair are such that the arrival of Blaine
will give another Republican vote, and
will reduce the Democratic majority to
one, and if Sharon was present the Re-
publicans would have control of Thur
mans resolution by tie vote.

FEARFUL FLOOD.
Virginia Visited by Heavy Rains, Which
5. are Doing Great Damage.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 24.-The in
cessant rains of the past forty-eight
hours have resulted i'm heavy floods in
the western portions of Virginia. All
trains have been stopped on the west
ern division of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. Jackson and Rivanna
rivers are higher than than at any time
since 1870, and one hundred and fifty
feet of the trestling of the Rivanna
railroad bridge has been swept away
this morning, and the water is up to
the bottom. chord of the iron bridge.
Several washes are reported. South
river is also very high. Telegraphic
communication with Lynchburg and
other places is interrupted. James riv-
er has risen over the canal at Lynch
burg. Trains have all stopped ON the
Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio railroad.
1t is feared the flood will reach the di-
mensions of 1870, when so many lives
were lost and millions of property
destroyed.
Richmond, Nov. 24.-On the Chesa-
peake u Ohio road the trains have been
running as usual. The Danville rail-
way has been considerably damaged by
the Roanoke river. The South Side i
Atlantic and Mississippi roads are bad
ly washed. The Danville river at Dam
vile is very high, and houses along the
banks are being washed out. The
James river at this point at p. IN. was
eight feet above high water mark and
still rising at the rate of foot an hour.
Wharyes in the lower part of the city
are submerged and arriving steamers
are unable. to discharge their cargoes.
Merchants along the river are moving
merchandise to high points in antici-
patton of a great increase in the flood
when the waters from above Lynch
burg reach Richmond, which will be
tomorrow morning. a tug boat was
sunk by being dashed against a pier.
One hundred and fifty cars and extra
locomotives are busy at the wharves ON
the Chesapeake II Ohio road, loading
freight.

THERE is calmer and more hopeful
tone in the French dispatches this week.
The Marshal has apparently decided
neither to fight nor to resign, but to
accept Gambetta's alternative and sub
mit-to certain extent. He is now
engaged in getting up Cabinet which
is expected to be somewhat conciliatory,
or at least not altogether belligerent,
and Paris already breathes more freely
than for some weeks past. But Mar
shals are uncertain people to tie to.

KENTUCKY.
Rafaed by Mooushiners.

Louisville, Nov. 24.-The deputy U.
s. Marshall who has been engaged in
arresting violators of the revenue law
in Wayne county, has been baked at
every turn by masked men, who take
his prisoners from Jail by force, who
capture and whip those who help him
make arrests, threatening them with
death if they again help the marshal.
They abuse the marshal and the U. s.
commissioner, and attempt to drive
them from the State. Many of the
the mob are moonshiners.

LOTTERY swINDLEs.
The Way 1t is Done.

New York, Nov. 24.-General Jubal
Early, in a published letter, describes
the method of cheating in lotteries. He
says the usual method of cheating in
single number lotteries is to issue tick
cts containing only one or two hund-
red Of the numbers in each thousand
from the highest to the lowest, say
from one to one hundred thousand, and
to leave. those numbers out of those
placed in the wheel, so that however
fairly the actual drawing is made the
ticket holder has no earthly chance, be-
cause the number representing his
ticket has never gone into the wheel.

DIVORCE.

Actors Playing Their Parts off the Stage.
Emma Chamness, known to the the
atrical world rs Ethel Thornton and
formerly as Rose Allayne, has sued for
a divorce from her alleged husband,
Edward Arnott, both engaged at Wal
lacks. She also puts in a plea for ali
mony and counsel fees. Plaintiff adj
mits that she was never married to Ar
mott by clergyman. lie placed ring
on her finger and told her that the cere-
mony was just as binding rs any cther.
She was satisfied, and they lived to-
gether as man and wife. She accom-
panied him to San Francisco and was
there introduced to everybody rs his
wife. He had previously promised to
have the ceremony performed by cler-
>gyman, and while in San Francisco she
reminded him of that promise, when he
replied that he would not make her any
more his wife than she was then. AL
most Immediately after that he began
to i'll treat her and beat her, so that
she still bears the marks. His treat
ment becoming unbearable, she left
him and came here by steamer. He
followed by rail and met her when she
landed. He professed the most sincere
repentance, and promised if she would
return to him he would treat her kind
ly. She returned and they lived togeth-
er again, he always engaging board for
''self and wife," and introduced her as
his wife. After the birth of their child,
which is now dead, he again began ill
treating her, when she again left him.
She now asks for absolute divorce, on
the grounds of adultery with Miss Rose
Lyle, an actress, and with one Imogene
Van Dyke, and others. Mrs. Emily
Stambach, with whom they boarded,
swears that Arnott took board for him
self and wife at her house, and always
spoke to and of her as his wife. Ar
mott denies all, and says he was never
married to her. He admits taking her
to San Francisco, but says she knew he
had wife and two children in Eng
land. Thei clerk who served the copy
of the summons and complaint upon
Arnott says lie was very much surpris-
ed when informed that it was suit for
divorce, and repeatedly remarked,
'tYes, but I'm not married mama
declaration which will be used as evil
dence in the suit to prove that he has
no wife in Europe.
