Return Of United States Marines
from the Paris EXPOSITION.


The detachment OF United States marines,
consisting of two officers and thirty men, whose
presence at the Paris exposition was so pleas
ing to Americans and so acceptable to the
French, came home last week upon the q, s.
fI1gate Constitution. Commissioner General
Mccormick has certified to the good service
rendered by them In an Official letter to the Sec
retary Of the Navy, Of which the following is q
copy:

Hon; r. ". Thompson, Secretary of the Nary,
Washington, d. C.
sir:-The detachment Of United States ma
flnes, detailed at my request for duty in con-
ton at Paris, having returned to this country,
l wish to make the following statement for
record In your department:
The marines were second In appearance, in
discipline and In efficiency to none of the guar
dams sent by the various nations represented
at the exposition. Their soldierly bearing and
excellent conduct, both when on and when off
duty, were spoken OF in the most compliment
tary terms by the French authorities, by the
c1t1ZeDS OF Paris and by visitors to the expoSi-
ZION. The Outburst OF enthusiasm with which
they were greeted at the demonstration attend
Ing the distribution Of awards in October, was
ole OF the notable incidents OF an eventful day,
and WILL be memorable one to the Americans
VINO were present. l cannot speak too highly
OF the service rendered by L1eutenantS Russell
and Zeilin, in the excellent care and dIreco In
OF their command, or OF the honor reflected
upon our flag by said command through the ad-
mirable performance OF an important duty In q
foreign land.
Very respectfully, r. G.. MCCORMICK

THE DISTRICT WATER SUPPLY BILL PASSED
BY THE SENATE.-The Senate to-day passed the
bill providing for an advance of $25, 900 by the
Secretary Of ~ the @ Treasury to improve the water
some OF the District debt in five per cent bonds.
Mr. Conkling made very strong speech In be-
half OF the holders OF certificates for overpay-
ments OF assessments, saying that immediate
provision should be made for the payment of
these merttorious creditors, and instanced q
case In which man bought lot represented
to be unincumbered, on which he subsequently
had to pay some ST 800 OF assessments. Finally
the commissioners adjudicated that he ought
to have remitted to him some $500. Hearing
this the original owner and vender claimed the
rebate, and the purchaser had to pay some $500
to establish his right to the certificate, which
was at length given him. 1t has never been
paid, however, and his Is but one OF number of
similar cases. Mr.. Harris promised that bill
for the relief OF these creditors should be intro
duced early next session. The bill under con-

Lambertvilre, N. j., july rs, 1879.

Mn. ANDREW SwATLs.-Ue is colored
gentleman who holds difficult place in life,
lie was a slave, then O member of Congress
from South Carolina, then candidate for re-
election, and in trying to make speech was
arrested and snmmarily chucked out of the
district by the g brethren who need so much
Cancellation. He bad done nothing wrong
except to make a speech. Then one of bis
antagonists in politics sued him for libel and
The Sheriff took his property in about the
same capacity as the receiver of an insurance
company gathers in the assets. Swails took
cut for Washington, and is now competent
clerk in the Treasury but there is rumor in
Kingstree, S. O., that he means TO go back
If he is guilty of anything, one would sup
pose they wanted him back, but they don't.
The Kipgstree Star, of Williamsburg county,
warns him off the premises. 1t says Z: efa
sit is currently reported that Swails con-
templates returning to Williamsburg county
IF this be fact it is incumbent upon the
Executive Committee Of the Democratic par
ty to find ont what is his purpose in return
ing. If it is to take up his residence among
MS it is their duty as good citizens to warn
Swails that he will do so at his personal peril.
The white people, if true to what has been
pledged in their behalf, will not permit Swails
to return here to live. If he proposes to come
here to arrange his private affairs, SO as to
leave permanently the Executive Committee
should have him SO state in writing, giving
the exact time within which he will leave for
good, and beyond which he will not be allow
cd to stay. If he declines to state his purpose
the public should be made aware Of the fact,
and he will be made aware of the fact that
his residence here will be at his personal risk !,
and his permanently remaining here will not
be permitted by the whites of the county. If
after this he makes his appearance be can
take the consequences of his act. From what
we hear be will be likely to have lively time
and be glad enough to retire TO more quiet
and profitable scenes. We do not see what
induces him to return, if, indeed, he intends
doing SO. His property is all In the hands of
Sheriff Jacobs, by whose intervention alone 1t
las been kept from being sold at public auc-
ton long ago" .fsE
And yet there is no interference with the
rights of the colored man in the South. ac-
cording to the Democratic sheets 1t seems
that colored man who has talent enough to
make speeches and influence the colored vote,
must be ostracised and driven from his State.
