Hard ON the Preacher.

A colored preacher came from Social Circle
to Conyers, en-, to preach the other day. Az
ter he finished his sermon, he asked for con-
tribution from the brethren to carry him
required to pay his fare on the cars, and he
asked for another nickel. A colored brother
promptly responded, and handed him 81
bill and took hls ninety-five cents In niekeis.
Imagine the preachers surprise and mortif-
cation when he presented the ST to the ticket
agent and was told that it was counterfeit.

suit of quarters in the war department, with
fuel and gas, that can not be duplicated in

II. II. 7. Leopold, husband of John Sher-
mans niece, appointed out of the treasury
as commissioner to close up the Freedman's
bank, $4,000.
+ Roger Sherman Barley, Sherman's
nephew, clerk in the New York post Office,
$500.
Frank Bernard, who married young Bart.
ley's sister, is 81 900 clerk in the auditors
Office of the treasury, and was detailed from
the treasury to take United States bonds to
the syndicate. He has been travelling with
his wife several months, and is paid out of
the appropriation to place the loan. -
higgins, married to John Sherman's niece,
81 800; was in the treasury department; now
in the public service in California.
Dan w. Wilson, nephew of Mrs. John
Sherman, assistant chief of the engraving
and printing bnresu of the treasury, was
taken from the position of messenger to the
finance committee of the Senate when Sher-
man was chairman, and put in charge of
800 skilled artisans and mechanics without q
days experience e-$3, 600.
0. L. Pitney, superintendent of United
States treasury building, $2,400. Pitney
was confidential clerk of John Sherman,
Jr., and was assigned to this important
Office, in which he is the purchaser of the
furniture and supplies for all the national
buildings in the country. The Office proper
having been abolished by an act of Con-
gress, the law is evaded by keeping
PitneY on the rolls of the treasury
in'another capacity, while he is continued
on this duty. It is said that Pitney is the
proper person to consult by the tenants in
the forty three-story pressed brick houses
owned by Sherman, three sqares north OF
the capitol building. 3 is further said that
a residence in one of these houses insures an
employe of any of the departments his place
indefinitely.
I have refrained from mentioning the
cousins and the nieces and the aunts of the
female persuasion who are aiding their dis
tinguished relative in his race for the Pres
denoy by drawing government salaries, be-

HEAVY DAMAGES WANTED.
Officer Nugent Brings Suit Against Joh1
Wann for $500.

Officer Nugent Brings Suit Against John
Wann for $500.
An action for $500 damages was COM
menced in the district court yesterday after
noon, by Officer James Nugent, against
John Wann, for injuries received by falling
into an excavation in the rear of Wann's
block, corner of Fourth and Sibley streets,
on the 22d day of last July. The circum-
stances of the accident will be readily re-
called by most readers, but for the benefit
of those not conversant with tho affair, the
case may be summarized as follows:
About l o'clock in the morning of the day
named, Officer Nugent was called to arrest
q dangerous character who had fourished
a revolver and made murderous threats in
front of the Sherman house on Sibley
street.
Observing the approach of the officer the
sc0undrel attempted his escape by running
up Sibley street and turning into an alley
that divides Wann's block, and terminates
in the rear of the building.
Officer Nugent followed his man, who
evidently knew the ms and outs of the loca
tion, otherwise he would have fallen into the
excavation, instead of which he kept to the
edge of the building and made his escape,
while Officer Nugent took the middle of the
alley. and before knowing it was precipitated
into the man hole. The excavation occupied
space equal to two-thirds of the alley, and
the fall was from twelve to fifteen feet.
The fall resulted in serious injuries to OFF,
Cor Nugent who sustained q broken arm and
shoulder, which incapacitated him frcm duty
and incurred heavy expense.
The complaint calls attention to an agree
ment with the authorities whereby the par
ties interested were to provide covering
for the excavation of durable and sufficient
strength, and tho $500 damages is claimed
for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in the
faithful discharge of his duties

MILLER PEACHES.

AnG acknowledges the Rape of Louisiana
Titdes, Carried the State or Eight or Ten
Thousand
Justice Samuel F. Miller, who voted with
the Republicans every time in the eight to
seven commission. made strange admission,
for him, to .S,tn reporter, in an interview
which that journal prints. Speaking of
Mr.. Tilden and the events of 1S76and 1877.
he remarked:
"On the other hand, it may be said of him
that he honestly thought himself elected and
entitled to the votes of the two Southern
States which tie tribunal decided agains t
him. He was elected in Louisiana-that is,he
got esght or ten thsus0,ad more uotes there
next year, think he will make good Pres
ident. He is q man of great
ability, unwearied pertinacity, and
extraordinary courage. He can not
be hnlldozed by the politicians or Office
seekers. He has mad an excellent Governor
of New York, and has shown administrative
and executive powers of a high order. He
is old and rich, and has no temptation to
abuse the powers of his office, while he has
every induoement to give the country q good
administration-one which will inure to his
fame and Obliterate in measure the stau-
dals which have attached to his name.''
Concerning Secretary Sherman's canvass
and the extraordinary efforts he is said to be
making to capture the Republican nomina-
tion, the judge said:
"It does not follow because man ia sec,
retary of the treasury, and makes use of the
great power and patronage of his Office, that
he is necessarily going to succeed in the race
for the nomination. Two former secretar-
ies-James Guthrie and Salmon p. Chase
did what Mr.. Sherman is now charged with
doing, and yet they signally failed when the
time came,'

The fear manifested in the British parlia-
ment of the organization of militia compan-
les in Ireland is very foolish. It has often
been demonstrated that the BEST way to dis
arm foe is to show him that you do not
fear him. We venture to say that if the
Irish were permitted to bear arms with as
few restrictions as are imposed upon the
Scotch and English, they would, within q
few years, be as loyal to the crown as either
of the other peoples.
