tied, "Chips from California" Most
of the "chips" apparently had no
connection with that State. What
she did say of California, though,
and 1t was considerable, was more
the TRADE of a scold than in the ma
ture of lecture. She found Moth

Coast--neither its men, women,

She concluded by saving: "The

California Democratic party. and
is now in Washington trying to
talk himself back into the Repub-
lican ranks. He can't do 1t. The
Republicans want him just where

Furth-r Particulars Of ths Back
vine Shooting.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The Times
and Tribune specials furnish addi
tional details of the shooting of the
Blackville Postmaster. They state
that the former incumbent of the
position was removed for incompe-
tency, and the improper perform
ance of the duty was fully estab-
lished by long report to the Post
office Department, made by the
Special Agent. The appointment
of Mr.. Nix, colored man, was
deeply resented by Democrats,
and Senator Butter made u
charge of incompetency against
the man, which his osn lett
Jers, just received at the Depart
ment describ ing the attempt to as
sassinate him, are enough to dis
prove. The shooting WAS done
without u particle of provoc .tion-
coolly, deliberately aud in the
broad day. The aim was bad, or
this would have teen another trag-
edy. The Democratic local Off
oials refuse all redress to the
wounded post master. All that eau
be done, appa emily, IL to close the
pOstuffice and punish the D.mO-
cratic assassins of BIackviile by the
mild process Of decreasing theil
mail facilities, which it is under
stood the Department will do.

the Northern press that II will b'
good policy for him to denounc
