THIS administration has already
proven its wonderful capacity to "turn
about and twist about and Jump Jim
Crow" And no effort in this line can
astonish US else it would trouble one to
understand how its members could pos
sibly come up to the support of ex-Collec-
tor Arthur for vice president. That
leathery gymnast, Sherman, will not hes
itate moment to ask the people to vote
for Arthur. for the second place in the ma
tion, although tits but little more than
year since he charged him with "gross
abuses of administration in the New
York collectorship, such as to make him
unfit longer to hold the office; from
whichhe was accordinglyfemoved,by MI.
Hayes, who declared it to be his ''plain
duty to do so, {" in order that the Office
may be honestly administered"
When man is booted out of q collec.
torship with such remarks from presi'
dent and secretary of the treasury, the
interesting question arises rs to what
manner of men they are when in the
succeeding year they demand for him
from the people the vice presidency OF
the United States.

In the cases of Steinman and Hcnsel, the
disbarrcd Lancaster editors, whose Counsel
have been waiting to argue before full
bench, Mr.. Reynolds, for Judge Patterson,
asked the court to assign it to Pittsburgh,
the first case on the list, as there was no
probability of its being argued at this term.
The court said it had very grave doubts of
the constitutionality of the act giving Ger

Ex-senator Clingman, of North Caro-
lima, leading Southern Democrat, when
asked as to his views in regard to the Dem.
ocratic programme at Cincinnati, seemed
very glad to answer the reporters ques-
tions. ''For," said he, Il have been
slightly misrepresented in an evening
paper, though the report of the interview
is substantially right. l expressed no
not say that l thought Field was the
strongest card against Garfield.
" How do you wish TO bc understood %
EITHER would be acceptable to the
South if it was thought they were strong
at the North.''
"Who do you think, General, will be Sc
lected to lead tho Democrats ?''
Seymour, if he will accept, or. in case
he is unavailable, Hancock will be likely to
be nominated
How do YOU regard Mr.. Tilden's
chances ?'
''Ilc may be named, but he is weaker in
the South than any other Democratic
leader"
For what reasons ~
First. he did not show sufficient reso-
luton and manhood four years ago-a very
serious defect in Southern eyes. Then,
again, there Is 4 very general impression
throughout the South that the dissension
in the party ranks in New York detracts
very much from his strength"
"Thcn in case he is nominated you do
not think no can carry the South %
"Oh, yes do ; weak as he is he can
carry it against Garfield"
''Then. in your opinion, Mr.. Garfield is 4
poor nominee if the Republicans hope to
gain in the South ?''
''He won't carry Southern state. lie
has no strength beyond the party vote and
is much weaker than Grant or Blaine would
have becn.'
GLOW do you account for this?''
"IIe is distasteful to a great many Re-
publicans and there seems to be Il growing
feeling that he cannot be elected. They
have no confidence in his success"
GLOW about Payne would he be more
apt to draw Southern votes than Til'len or
Thurman?"
"Any good Democrat will be success
full
"Do you think Paine would be the man
most likely to carry OhiO?"
81 do not regard Payne as being whit
stronger in Ohio than Thurman, as Gar
field will start with II, 600 advantage in
that state. l do not regard it Us probable
that any Democrat in that state will be
taken but one thing l do know, Thur
man would have been selected to oppose
Grant. Should Seymour or Hancock be
the candidate for president and Hendricks
decline the vice presidential nomination,
then some other western man will be put
on the ticket"
Don't the South want that place?'
'No sir, we do not. We don't think a
Southern man should be placed on the
ticket at ALL"
"Then General, you don't think there
is any possible chance of the Republicans
being successful in any Southern state?'
"Not with good man 10 lead us. With
such man we are certain of having a
Democratic president take the chair next
March,"

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, apologize
ing for Secretary Sherman's proposed
discipline of his understrappers who op-
posed his presidential nomination, says
"There can be no doubt that when Com
missioner Raum went to Springfield for
the purpose of engineering the Illinois
convention in the interest of Gen. Grant
he violated the civil service order of the
administration in which he figures in so
important capacity. In that conven-
tion he acted throughout as violent
partisan, and whatever influence he pos
sessed as an officer of the government
must naturally have been used by him to
defeat the opposition" That is
reconsideration with Sherman. A
dd66h of his subordinates were at Chi
cago using all their influence for him.
Not one of them will be dismissed. Sher-
man does not propose to enforce the civil
service order except against his enemies.
II it were strictly enforced his seat in the
cabinet would be vacated forthwith.
