A young Philadslphian who has been
soiourning in our midst for the past two
weeks, seems to have formed peculiar
attachment for the bed Of an old wagon
on Orange street near Front. Officer
Mccormick testified at Police Court this
morning that he had found the young
chap ssleep in the old wagon bed on
three different occasions. And as he was
under the impression that there was
statute which afforded protection to
wagon beds, he had gathered the
young man in. 30 cents and costs Is
about the extent of the damage suffered
by the wagon bed.

For some time past the residents in

their Sabbath converted into anything
else but what a we'll regulated Sabbath

young men and boys who are in the

Matter.
Secretary Sherman said to CORES
pondent of the '"Tribune' yesterday
"We are still planning to pay out golt
in exchange for legal-teniers wherever
it may be wanted. We have too mucl
Of It on hand, and must get rid Of it
We don't exactly know how it is to b.
done yet, but shall devise some way
dou btless.''
Unexpected obstacles have arisen II
regard to the execution of the Secre
tary project announced two or three
'dats age, to redeem gresnbacks with
gold at any Of the Sub Treasures o.
the United States. Secretary Sherman
asked the other members Of the Cabinet
who are in Washington to meet him in
conference in regard to it this after.
noon. The meeting took place at thu
Attorney Generals office, and was at
tended by Secretaries Evarts and Nc
Crary, Postmaster General Key, At
torney General Devens and Secretary
Sherman. Section 1851 of Revised
Statutes contains the provisions which
have raised the doubts with regard tc
the propriety Of the proposed action. 1,
reads as follows:
'No exchange offunds shall be made
by any d'sbursing officer or agent ol
the Government or any grade ordenonp,
ination whatsoever, or connected WITH
any branch of the public servics. .gethAr
than an exchange for gold, sily{ ~ m,
ted States notes or NatioH7 Snk
notes, and every disbdfsing q l(fSa fSat.
when the means for his disbnrssa IAista
are furnished to him in gold, silver,
United States notes or National bank
notes, shall make his payments in the
moneys 80 furnished, or, when they
are furnished to him in drafts, shall
call those drafts to be presented at
their place Of payment and properly
paid according to law, and shall make
payments in the money 80 received for
the drafts furnished, unless in either
case he can exchange the means in his
hands for gold and silver at par"
1t was held by the Attorney General
that no Affirmative authority is given
to exchange gold or silver for any
other kind of funds. On the other
hand, the section is interpreted to for
bid the exchange of any kind of funds
except for gold and silver. The Ian
guage of the Resumption act expressly
authorizes the exchange of gold for le-
gal.tsnders, but limits the power as to
locality to the sub-Treasury at New
York. 1t is understood that all the
Cabinet officers present, except Secre-
tary Sherman, who is not wholly con-
vineed, agreed in opinion with the At
torney General. This is the condition
in which the matter stands tonight
Arrangements are still in progress,
however, and unless they are soon
countermanded all the sub-Treasuries
will soon be supplied with a large
stock of gold to be exchanged for legal
tenders, if the transactions may be car
ried on without violating the law
Meanwhile, the precious metals are &C
cumulating in the Treasury beyond all
precedent, and some outlet must be
found.

A SAD CASE.
A German and His Five children
walk Almost to Missouri and Re-
turn,

A German ana HIS Elv0 Ch1I0FeH
walk Almost to Missouri and Re
turn.
To.day's Philadelphia Times.
Yesterday, about noon, a group
composed of German and his tiv.
sturdy but dust covered children rang
ing from five to twelve years of age,
attracted crowd around one of the en-.
frances to the new Public Buildings.
Somebody who heard part of the man
story thought there was case for the
Society to Protect Children from Cruelty
but when one of the agents went ovel
and saw the party and heard the man;
narrative he perceived that his func
tions would not be exercised.
The poor fellow said that he was re-
sident Of fPoughkeepsie, New York, abou'
three months ago. His house was burn.
ed to the ground, he lost his worldly
all; then his wife died and he deter
mined to seek some new field where he
could forget and recover from his mis-
fortunes. He determined to go to Mis-
souri, and squat on government land,
which he was told was lying around
loose out there, only waiting for the
tickling hoe OF the settlers to make it
laugh with harvest. Ten weeks ago
he and the children started out West
ON foot. The incidental difficulties be-
setting a pedestrian party we're. being
rapidly overcome and the German be-
lieves he was somewhere near the prom
ised land when he was disheartened and
dismayed upon making inquiries, to re-
ceive the response that Missouri was
still l 200 miles away. He gave up the
tramp and determined to retrace his
foot steps to Poughk4epsie.
He said he himself had been terribly
burned at the destruction of his old
home and showed his still blackened
and SCARED legs as corroboration of his
statement. The agent inquired wheth-
er he did not desire to leave some of
the children in comfortable quarters
here until he got on his feet financially
again at Poughkeepsie, but the man
gazing fondly at the youngsters, who
declared that they were not a bit foot
sore aud wanted "to stay with pap"
laid hs did not want to separate his
uortherless brood. Through the kind
ness Of neigh boring hotel keeper the
pedestrians were furnished a good din
ner and money enough was raised to,
paw the car fares of the group to the
outskirts Of the city, whence they
.ould resume their tramp toward New
York on more agreeable, yielding
surface than the city pAvements.

Of drunkenness. Barney had just got
out Of Jail day or 80 ago, and His
Honor told Barney that his actions
would indicate that he wanted to get
back to the fort again. Barney pleaded
hard to get off, and the Mayor gave
him some sound practical advice, and
ended by imposing fine of so cents
and costs, with the warning that If
again found drunk upon the streets he
would have to send him over to the

THE sssOLID SOUTH"
Tho Coming Presidential Election
Its Last Struggle - eagaciOus
Views OF GOyernOr WOolfOrd,

| As5 AIxsst 0tFuB810 - 0uB B0CAOu
Views or fGovernOr WOolford.
The following is from an interviev
with Governor Woolford, published IL
the Washington Republican"
Q.-Have you any objections to ex
planning how you think Northern
opinion and Northern political action il
going to effect the political and socia
condition of Mississippi and the South
A.-The pressing political and socia
need Of the South to-day seems to me
to be such division Of the white vote
between opposingparties as will permit
and secure political federation by each
and all Of the political opinions Of
their neighbors-such q division as will
protect full and free discussion, secure
fair vote and compel an honest count.
This can be practically obtained
only by dividing the white vote. Such
division is only question Of time. 1t
is just as inevitable as the coming Of
tomorrow. 1t is mainly hindered and
prevented to-day by the politicians
hope that united South, aided by a
divided North, can and will secure the
power, patronage and official honors of a
National Democratic administration.
II that hope fails next year, and a uni
ted South is then beaten by a United
North, | believe that the South will
certainly divide after 1880, and before
1884. The political situation is to-day
Just like the military situation in 1855,
when Grant was making lis last move
ments on Richmond. Almost the en-
tire Southern press then said that
though they lost Richmond they would
still fight on, and die, if need be, in
the last ditch.
Grant knew better. He knew that
when Richmond fell most of the Confsd-
crate Army would 90 home on their
own account, and that Lee must sur
render the balance. He was right, and
with The fall of Richmond the war was
practically ended. To day the Democrat
ic leaders and the Southern pre- say,
and doubtless they say honestly, that
even If beaten in 1880 for the Presidsn-
cy, they will remain an unbroken par
ty permanently, holding a United
South on the issues Of race and white
rule. They are so much mistaken now
as then. They may not surrender. But
their party will crumble and new for
nations will come.
As the whites divide, 80 will the
blacks. For every brave white man
who joins the progressive party Of the
future some worthless black will recruit
the Bourbon party Of the past. Men
who believe in the Nation, in free
schools, in liberation and progress, will
be voting together. blacks and whites,
while men who cling to old prejudices,
and had rather live in the graveyards
of the past than in the work-felds of
to-day, will be counselling and voting
together. believe, sir, that Republi-
can victory in 1880 will be followed by
the defeat Of the regular Democratic
State tickets in at least four of the old
slave States before 1884. We are near
or the end of this Solid-South business
than most Republicans expect or most
Democrats will admit. The one thing
needed is one more Republican victory
under wise, brave leader In 1880,
and the Solid South is forever broken.
