did you ever see the ingratitude OF

governess of the Garfield children was
a Miss May, who once kept kinder

sent his children to the public schools
of Washington City uutil it seemed
beneficial to let them study at home
under their mothers direction, and
Miss MAY was made the tutor. As
soon as Garfield was elected the item
began to float around tie newspapers
that Miss MAJ woaid receive at she

that decisive little woman at once put
her foot on the suggestion. My infor>

10 the General that he wanted to

Garfield letters asking for cash by re-

Generals mail is terrible comments

THE STAR SERVICE.

THE House sgreed to S970, 600 def
cheney for the S.sr service, which has
been raised by the Senate to 81, 100, 900.
which also struck out the requirement
that the Postmaster General should cut
down all routes expedited over $4,000.
In the meantime, the investigation OF
Assistant Postmaster General Brady
goes on, aud it has been shawn that
the appropriation called for represented
what he expected to increase the SER
vice to; hence discrepancies between
him snd the sixth auditor of the treas-
ury. That official reported that it
would require $1,055, 900 to pay for
existing contracts, while Brady called
for 81, 7aO, 900. The testimony of a
contractor, J. R. Miner, further shows
in what loose manner the routes are
expedited. He had contract for the
route between Bismarck and Fort
Keogb, which was increased from
$3.50 to $40, 900. Some of this was
for expedition under the original con-
tract. He swore he needed twelve
horses and thirteen men TO carry the
mails three times week at the rate of
104 hours; to expedite to e5 hours he
swore it would require $50 horses and
$50 men. When pressed to explain
the apparent discrepancy IN these fig-
ures he said it was "jumpiDg esti-
mate" and not made to govern, al
though he admitted that Brady must
be governed by the sworn statement Of
tbe contractor. Four days after he
made this statement he admitted that
the work could be done with half the
force asked for, and he actually re-
ceived $37, 900 increase.

rndsn'. Nomination improbable.

While many of the. especial psrtisans
OF Mr.. Tilden complain OF the want Of
consideration shown to him by those
who oppose his nomination, they fall
into the very fault In another direc-
ton which excites their frequent and
bitter comment. The presidency -
claimed for Mr.. Tilden as q matter OF
right, and ell advocacy of another man
is voted as ipgrstitude or infidelitY to
him. Now, 1t Is well to look ct this
matter in the light Of truth and fair
ness. There are great numbers cf
Democrats In every state who honor
Mr.. Tilden for his devotion In the can
vass Of 1876, and have unbounded ad-
miration for his abilities and high quail
tiles ss a leader, and until the election
In New York in November last earnest
ly desired his denomination, but who
now believe Il would be equivalent to
defeat to present his name TO the coun-
try. This is the honest conviction Of
their minds, based on facts and argu-
ments familiar 10 all weil-infofmeo
persons. Sincerely and patrioticaily
desirous OF success they would be

TIiden and elevate him TO the preei
dency. But they believe the barren
honor OF Q nomination to be followed
by defeat, while It would not solve
the wound inflicted upon him and
the party in 1871, would be :
great national danger and misfof-
time. Patriotism demands that ali
mere sentiment and personal consider
ations shall give way 10 the stern logic
Of facts and duty. For these reasons
the nomination OF Mr.. Tilden, by the
next national convention, has for sew
eral months been exceedingly lmproba-
BILE. Now It Is morally impossible.
No political event Of the future has
forced itself into clearer view than
this. Mr.. Tilden has hosts oi warm

Mr.. WARNER, Of Ohio. of the House
Coinage Committse. has recently had
. conference with the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the Postmaster General
in relation to the question OF carrying
packages Of silver through the mails
with view TO getting it into general
circulation. It is found in practice
that under the law passed at the extra
session fractional silver coins have q
tendency to accumulate at the various
money ceHters, and then, instead. of
going back through the business chan
nels to the people of the country, they
find their way directly into the treas
ury, where they are constantly accumu-
lating. All this time there Is scare
ity of these silver coins everywhere else.
Mr.. Warner wants the Secretary Of the
Treasury 70 have the authorization of
lsg to return his fractional silver
20 the country banks through the mails
in registered envelopes in sums Of ten
dollars and upwards, not to exceed four
pounds in weight, the applicant for,
such coins to pay the registration fee
and be at ell nsk, the packages to 60
free Of postage. The Secretary Of the
Treasury thinks this can be done now
without sny change in the law, and
the Postmaster General eoncurs in that
opinisn. The Committee on Coinage
also has under confederation the ques-
tion Of repeating the Law providing for
the rsdsmpuon Of frsctiunal silver, IN
which csss Il l. proposed to make Che
half dollar half The weight Of the L.
eai tender doIlsr and then make it full
lagai tender.

GOING TO BE GOVERNOR.

The Republicans authorized their
exec utive committee 10 call conven-
ton TO mske nominations, IL in the
judgment Of the committeeman it
should be deemed prudent to do so. A
Netes special says that it has been con-
cluded to nominate Mr. Jones, if the
convention should be called, and there
msy be some truth in this statement,
since Mr.. Davis would then take Mr..
Jones' place ss q candidate for Con-
gress. But both Greenbsckers and Re-
publicans Of this CITY declare they will
not permit Mr.. Jones to quit the race
for Congress. and they pronounce in

THE Whitney Express condemns the
plan of papers trotting out and airing
their candidates before the public, and
In the same article assumes the very
position which it denounces IS 8 seri-
ous error of newspapers. It Is for J.
d. sayers for Governor, and it says Of
him:
eff we may judge from what trans
pired at the last state convention,
we are forced to conclude that he is
the only candidate who can unite aud
harmonize the entire party in the State,
In proof of this We have only to recall
the fact that he was nominated for his
present Office, without opposition, by
one of the most excited and inhsrmo-
NOUS conventions We have ever had,
and at the subsequent election his pop
ulsrity was such, that in different por-
tions of the State be ran far ahead OF
the balance Of the ticket. Though
young in years he Is old in experienca.
No one can doubt his integrity or qnss-
ton his sterling Democracy. BE would
be the exponent Of progressive ideas"

The Tso0 Ldredos Is not at sll pleased
with the attempt Mr.. Lot msde st
Washington to interfere with the bill
authorizing the construction of q mill
tAry railwsy from San Antonio to La
redo. II says, that If he and others
should succeed in defeating the bill,
they will not soon he forgotten 10y the
section about Liredo. The psper says:
As We now stand, We are cut eff
from all commercial intercourse with
the outside world, exc pr by the slow
and cumbersome process Of ox-cart
freights for over hundred and fifty
miles. Mr.. LDtrs narrow esuse road
would indeed send US whlrling down
II Corpus probably within fifteen
hours, but should uorther be blow
ing, or the bar he flied up, there we
would remsin for q week or longer
waiting for the tide to carry us out /;
but railroad to San Antonio would
land us In NSw York within hve dsys,
where we could purchase our goods,
have them shipped and landed in La
redo before We could leave Corpus
Christi for Galveston or New O-lesns
on our way north. Merchants in LII
redo can see that this will give them
quick sales and good profits.
The advantages OF this new road
would certainly be very great to the
business interests of people on the
border, but the advantages to the state
would be almost incslculable. The
construction of this road would save
millions, esch year, IN expenditures,
that are now imperative, and after a
few years it would bring about con-
dition of affairs that would even make
the maintenance of troops on the
border snything but Il necessity. The
public interest lies in the route from
San Antonio, while Mr.. Lofts interests
almost alone are presented in the Cor
pus Christi narrow gauge.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SAVERS has
a long interview in the Galveston Neaos,
IN which he takes issue, on many ques-
tIons, with Governor Roberts. He de.
clares that he has entertained no prop
osition for combinations as a candidate
for governor, and presents the proposi.
ton that there are "vitsl issues" be-
tween himself and Governor Roberts
regarding state policies. He is opposed
to the Governors plan Of selling school
lands in large bodiea, and would pre-
fer to see them leased for q term of
years, say at twenty-five dollars per
section for pasture lands. He takes is
sue with the Governor, as he under
stands him in proposition to attach
frontier counties needing the assistance
of state troops for any length Of time,
to counties not needing such aid. He
thinks that one-fourth instead of one
sixth of the revenue should have been
gwen to public free schools, and that
the minority in the Sixteenth LegisIa-
ture, with whom he acted, was right
in opposing the Governors prop
osition to curtail expenditures. He
thinks the bell punch law 'a
perfect failure" and asserts 1t
should be repeslad. He is opposed to
a proposition of the Governor, made
in message to the Legislature as he
says,'o have the Executive empowered
with authority to remove district at
torneys, on the same plan as was pro-
posed some years ago by Governor
Coke. He thinks the state should en-
courage immigration by investing in
printed matter 'tsimilar to the late
eclectic edition OF the Neaos." He be-
lieves the prominent questions present.
ed in tn last Legislature should be
made positive issues in the State Dem
ocratic ConYention. We will give az
