HB STANDS BY UNCLE SAM.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Last spring Spru-
lille Braden, an Indianapolis boy, graduated
with the highest honors of any of his class
on board of Her Majesty's school ship Woos.
ter. He received the royal prize, the pres
entation of which was grand occasion,
and especially so because an American boy
had come out ahead. His commission as a
Midshipman in the English navy was with
held from him because he would not re-
nounce his allegiance to the United States.
He has arrived in Washington, and Secre-
tary Thompson has determined to use all
his influence to get special act through
Congress allowing him to appoint Braden
as an Ensign, or at least Midshipman, in
the United States navy, it being law that
all our naval officers must graduate from
Annapolis. In the meantime, Secretary
Thompson will give Braden q clerkship in
the Navy Department.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
There was enough said in the House yes
terday, and vote taken, to indicate that a
bill giving Territorial form of government
to the Indian Territory would have very
fair chance of passing it if it could be
brought up. The Indian appropriation bill
was under discussion, and an amendment
was offered that no wild tribes should be
taken into the Territory to perpetuate its
interference with the advance of civiliza-
ton in the Southwest. Several short
speeches were made on the amendment,
and it was carried by good majority.
THE BLAINE COMMITTEE.
The Republican Senators were unable to
get Senators to serve on the Blaine commit
tee, until the caucus held yesterday morn
ing appointed committee to select Sena-
tors and force them to serve by the power
of caucus order. Even..then Senators de-
clined, and not until late in the afternoon
was the committee formed and announced
as follows: Teller Kirkwood, Cameron
wis. y Mitchell and Plumb, Republicans;
and Bayard, Wallace, Garland and Bailey,
Democrats. Then Mitchell and Plumb
got up and positively declined to
serve. Hoar and Mcmillan have
consented to serve. 1t is the weakest COM
mittee, so far as the Republicans are con-
cerned, ever made up; and when it was
announced, smile went round the cham
ber. 1t is considered the severest setback
Blaine ever received from his party
friends.
LEAVING FOR HOME.
A large number of members are leaving
the city, and it is doubtful whether there
will be quorum in the House to-day.
Members of the House Appropriation Com
mittee will remain in the city during the
recess to prepare the appropriation bills,
which are yet before the committee.

WORKING ON THE BLAINE MEN.
New York, Dec. 20.-A Herald special
says the friends Of General Grant are de-
lighted over their last success in paving the
way to the Generals denomination in
1880.
Having secured Senator Conkling's with
drawal as Presidential candidate, and his
cooperation in the Grant movement, they
had still Senator Blaine to deal with.
Blaine's Pennsylvania friends were ap-
preached and sounded and the Club gossip
is that Mcpherson, who is known as one of
the most Jealous as we'll as one of the most
astute of the Pennsylvania Blaine men, is
convinced that his chief would do we'll to
follow Senator Conklings $ example.
A confidential agent was sent down to
Washington last week and he returned with
message from Blaine that he will not
stand in Grants way in the Convention,
but will stand aside and let the General
have his run.

Sensation and Scandal i'm High Life
National Associated Press to the Star.
New York, Dec. 20.-Another develop
ment of the Thorp divorce case was made
public in the Jefferson Market Court yes
terday. Gould H, Thorp prominent mem.
Der of the Produce Exchange, sues his wife
for an absolute divorce on the ground oil
adultery with Lloyd PhGnix, prominent
yachtman and Vice President of the New
York Yacht Club. The defense to the ac-
ton is that Mr.. Thorp can not bring such
all action, as he was divorced from former
wife by the Superior Court four years ago,
and ordered not to marry again. Mr.. Phoe-
nix was arrested yesterday morning on a
warrant charging him with having attempt
ed to shoot Mrs. Thorp. On his being ar
raigned in Court Mrs. Thorp testified that
on Tuesday afternoon Mr. Phoenix entered
her apartments in the Jex House, corner of
Broadway and Thirtieth streets, drew re-
volver and threatened to shoot her She
fled to the street, and he followed her and
struck her with cane.
Mr.. Phoenix, on being sworn, stated that
he called on Mrs. Thorp to demand an ex-
planation from her in reference to the pub
iication of his name in connection with her
marital scandal. He positively denied
having used any violence or threats what
ever towards her. Justice Atterberg held
Mr.. Phoenix in $1,000 bail to keep the
peace He gave bail at once, and left the
Court. Mrs. Thorp, who is an accom-
plished and beautiful English blonde, de-
clined to furnish the representatives of the
press with any information regarding the
divorce suit now pending, but said that in
all probability the differences existing be.

them. They carried the place at the late
election by 225 majority, and they had an

very popular, and disSensions among the

This loyalty does not in any manner question

Courts Martial and Courts of Inquiry. But
these are legitimate when within our ranks,

cries or missives, drum beatings or brazen

desertion meets with the summary terms of

THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.

As illustrative of the exhilerating effects
of a generous and conciliatory policy upon
our Deluded Southern Brethren we repro
duce the following:
A Journal Washington special says: The
full vote cast at the last election in South
Carolina last Tuesday, one county alone ex-
cepted, received here is conclusive evidence
as to the charges made by the Republicans
who were not permitted to vote without en-
dangering their lives. The Democratic ma
jority in the State, which is honestly Repub-
lican by 10000, is 1914. This does not in
clude the vote in Georgetown County, which
is reported Democratic by several hundred
majority. In Edgeheld County, where the
entire white population does not exceed $500,
a Democratic ma ority of 700 is returned.
In AbbevllIe County but two Republican votes
were cast.
The fierce black sheep are no loager fatten-
ing themselves upon the flesh and blood of the
tender white wolves of that remarkable State.
The foot of the Yankee invader has been
amputsted sufficiently high above the ankle
joint to let him know how troublesome it will
be for him to carry thither his ''lecherous
carpet bag, much less to ''sow salt in the
streets of Charleston. Doubtless if Presi-
dent Hayes should again be candidate for
the Presidential office the State of South
Carolina, out of sense of gratitude toward
him, would give him her electoral vote But
no hated Radical, like Conkling or Howe or
Conger need apply much less any corrupt
Caesar like General Grant. None but good
men, full of the milk of forgiveness, may
seek for recognition under the severely char
table and moral regime of that incarnation of
gentleness and amiability, Governor Wade
Hampton. Seventy thousand Demo
cratic majority in the State Only two Re
publican votes in Senator Buffers baliwick
How assuring it is to the peace loving heart

gladstone flight Let us shake hands again
