Political Assessments.


The minority report Of the Wallace
committee submitted by Senator I.rcr in be-
half of the republican minority, criticioin:= the
bill recommended by the majority of the com
mittee. After quoting its full text they say;
: This is, in short, proposition to prohibit any
employee or person holding Office under the
government OF the United states from contri.
buting money or other things of value for
political purposes, either with reference to
national political questions or those of States.
1t is based on the theory that the use of mo-
ney contributed by certain class of citizen
ofticcholder in a political campaign, is
crime, while money contributed by non n-otflce-
holders, and used for the same purpose is not
crime. If this bill shall pass no man hold
ing public Office can be connected with the
public political press. He cannot contribute
to pay ordinary and perfectly legitimate ex-
penses OF political meetings. This class of
citizens cannot contribute money to form and
support political club Or society for the dis
semination OF the most wholesome political
tencnts concerning The rights of man. The
establishment and support Of reading room
stocked with political works would be crime
and must be treated in the same way as the
contribution of money to corrupt voters and
destroy the purity of the ballot. Why should
this class of citizens be deprived OF the privil-
ege conceded to all others? Is there more
danger in the contributions of men in office
than from those who are trying to get there?
This bill is indefensible on any principle. It
is abhorrent to all ideas of right, is in VIOLA
ton to the rights of the people granted them
by organic laws of the landa

Judge Field at Home.

The FIELD boom has "died aborning."
Although Judge FIELD was recommended
N Virginia and other States as the one man
who could certainly carry the Pacific states,
and a great flourish OF trumpets has been
kept up over his popularity elsewhere, he
has actually been snubbed by his own State.
California refuses to acknowledge him as
her favorite son. Here Is what the tele-
graph tells us:
SAN Francisco, May 21.-The Democratic
Convention delegates to Cincinnati go un.
nledced. A vote was taken on presidential
preference and resulted: Thurman, 1I3;
ridden, rs; Seymour, 70; Field, 2; Han
cock, 2; Hendricks, 2. The platfoi de-
precstes sectioualism; holds the Republi.
cans responsible for the agitation OF DEAD
issues: regards with alarm the doctrine OF
Capitalization embodied In recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court; favors
a continued agitation against the Chinese
influx, and condemns the President Tor BIS
veto OF the fifteen. passenger bill.
Really it begins to look as II the candida
cy Of Judge FIELD was joke, Who dis
covered him? Where Is The man who first
nominated a candidate whose own State
Convention by recorded vote not only re-
fuses to endorse him, but gives him only 2
votes out Of $50? WHAT State will present
the name Of a man whose own State refuses
to perform that service for him?
No explanations will do away with the
facts. Let FIELD rest.

Field in Virginia.

The kilograms to the northern papers as
to the proceedings OF the yirginiadoDven'
ton OF Tharsday last seem all to have been
Intended to try to create a FIELB boom.
We hope, therefore, that General EARLY
will pardon us for saying one word on that
subject. Mr.. GooDE made speech in
which be called the names OF SEYMOUR,
HANCOCK, BAYARD. RANDALL, and FIELD.
There was more or less applause upon the
mention OF each name. As to Judge FIELD
be said:
"Or thsf intreIid statesman, that eali-
nent iuri.i. Stephen j. Field, W no comes

But 1t was caused by the words in itak'c
II be had used those words In speaking Of
any other candidate the applause would
have been no less tremendous" Another
gentleman who spoke afterwards alluded to
the golden Fields OF California. But in vain.
The audience made but feeble response.
Judge FIELD, or any candidate who Is likely
to be nominated, will be cordially support

TIE CLOSING EXERCIsEs-sPEECH OF PhhsI-
DENT BAYEs TO THE INDIANS, NEGROES, AND
WHITE FOLKS.
HAMPTON, VA, May 20.-The closing eX-
ercses OF The Hampton Normal School TOOK
Mace to-day, and attracted a larger attend
ance than on any previous year. President
HAYES. accompanied by Hon. schurZ and
few friends, arrived this morning and were
Joined by Governor Long aud Ex-Governor
Rice of Massachusetts,, and proceeded to the
school, followed by the visitors from
distance. Upon reaching the school TIE eX-
ercises were at once commenced, the entire
morning being devoted to recitations by the
Junior, middle, and Indian classes in the
different branches taught, after when tue
Indiau bows were Inspected at WORK I'D the
sbOps, where different trades are being
taught by competent instructors. ana Inc
Indian girls at their wgwam at their sewing
work. They have made wonderful I'M
provement during their stay here, ana the
work Of ciylizing them looks encouraging.
At O'Clock the visitors repaired to Gen.
eral Armstrong; headquarters, where lunch
was partaken Of; after which they repaired
10 Virginia Hall. where the literary eXer-
! cises were TO take place. These consisted
Of recitations, essays, &C., and were most

denseIy packed with visitors from Norfolk
and vicinity General Armstrong then in
troduced President Hayes, who made a
brief address 10 the class, aud spoke OF the
noble work now being accomplished by the
school. To civilize and christianize the
races was the great problem OF the coun-
try, and the Hampton Institute was demon
stratng i'm a practicable way how IL should
be done. This was great country, and
the inhabitants were made up OF many DIFF
ferent nations, and TO harmonic them was
one OF the nObest objects to which
mans best efforts could be turned, and
this the Hampton School was doing.
He spoke OF the pleasure that had
been afforded him by his last visit, and that
he had enjoyed this one equally well, and
| hoped he could be present next year. The
Presidents remarks were received with
hearty applause, when General Armstrong
introduced Hon. Carl Schurz, who spoke
briefly on the Indian question. He had
since he occupied his present position
worked bard and faithfully to improve the
condition Of the Indian. He thought the
statement that there were no good Indians
but dead ones was brutal that they had
seen enough here to-day TO convince any
| air.minded man that there were other and
better uses to which they could be put, aud
| the time would yet come, and at no distant
| date, when the Indian would be numbered
among American citizens. Several other
| gentlemen made speeches. The exercises
closed at 6 O'Clock, the President and party
returning to Washington tonight.

that many OF those who had bolted from the

ton or not is the only question left for them
to decide. We await events in Illinois with

AN EXTRAORDINARY BOGUS DISPATCH THAT 1T!
AUTHOR NEVER SENT.

AN EXTRAORDINARY BOGUS DiSPATCH THAT lis
AUTHOR NEVER SENT.
Recently q telegraph operator named
Thomas Holster was arrested in San Fran
cisco by Chicago detective. HOLSTER had
formed a plot to cut the telegrapb-wlres
uniting New York and San Francisco. and
then to send East dispatch. dated at some
station in the Sierras, saying that tidal
wave, followed by an earthquake, had de-
stroyed San Francisco and Virginia City.
The object OF the plot was TO cause panic
in Pacific Mail stock and Comstock securi-
ties in the New York market, the panic 10
be taken advantage OF by cOnfederates.
The New York Sun says:
"F0r several months the Western Union
knew that wires were being tempered with,
and they sent for the Chicago detective. He
travelled along the line for several weeks,
and finally came upon clue at spot few
miles east of Battle Mountain. At this spot
the wire had been cut, and piece that
could readily be disconnected had been let
| in. The detective further found an insula-
ted wire concealed in the grass and sage
brush near by. An end OF II long enough
to reach the main line was cOiled up. The
wire ran north, and the detective, following
| it for mile, came upon an excavation In
the ground, which was rooted In with
| branches and turf. and which contained,
buried in one corner, several Leyden Jars,
| strips OF copper, and bottles Of acid. The
detective concealed himself near by and
watched the place Tor several days, but
| without result
lone day at Battle Mountain he saw in
newspaper an account OF the arrest for a
| breach Of the peace OF telegraph operator
| whom he had known in Chicago. The de-
| tective, from what he knew Of the man, was
prompted 10 go to San Francisco and look
after him. He visited HOLSTERS loom, and
| there found what confirmed bis suspicious
| that 1t was HOLSTER who had tempered with
| the Western Union wires. Holster was ar
| rested, and made confession. In his room
was found the following, written upon
| piece of foolseap paper:
&C. At 10 O'Clock this morning a tidal wave
| from the Pacific ocean swept over San
francisco, wiping out the entire city in ten
! MINUTES. 1t advanced inland and rose I'M
til the waters were ten feet deep la Sacra-
meDt0 and Stockton. Accompanying this
oceanic disturbance was tremendous
shock OF earthquake, which was felt most
severely at Virginia City. The mixes on
the Comstock are a mass OF ruins. No fur
ther particulars can be gained at present.
"This, HOLSTER said, be had Intended to
send as dispatch TO the Associated Press.
The decline in Comstock security had de-
laYed the carrying out OF bis design. He
ma de bis headquarters in San francisco.
and was only waiting for rising market.
The apparatus found near Battle Mountain
had been placed there by him, and he in
tended to cut tue wires and send bis dis
patch ut that point"

Patton IN many things he said. He favored
the adopti0n OF the majority report In the
interest of peace. The Church has been
distracted on this subject too much al
iNady.
Rev. DR.. Peterkln stated that our people
are not debarred from division oil the do
cese by the election of an assistant. lie dc.
clared his intention TO vote for the majority
report.
DIR. Peterkin discussed very ably and
with great interest TO the Council the ques-
ton q the powers and Independence OF the
diocese.
Rev. n. NJ. Jackson, Of Richmond, de.
liyered very earnest speech In behalf OF
the minority report. He announced him
self an ardent divisionist, but opposed to an
assistant bishop.
AT the conclusion OF Mr.. Jaekson's
speech, which was listened to with very
close attention by a crowded assembage,
RI. Rev. G.. Penick, Bishop OF North Africa,
was introduced to the Council and invted
TO seat by the Bishop. He was received
by the Council standing.
The Council then took recess until
O'Clock.
Afternoon and Night Sessions.
PETERSBURG, May 21.-The Council dis
cussed the reports Of committee In reference
TO assistant bishop from hali-past TO I

which the question OF division OF the
diocese was brought in. Among the
sneakers were Rev. DR.. Pendletop, DR..
Gibson, Rev. Mr.. Ward, Colonel William
Nelson, DR.. Peterkin, and others.
The Council met again at g O'Clock, and
after an address by Bishop Penick on bis
work In Africa, resumed the discussion IN
regard TO an assistant bishop.
DIR. Minngerode was selected to close the
debate on behalf of the friends Of the mi
norty report, and Judge Shcfley on behalf
OF the majority.
DR.. Minnigerode declared his opposition
to division. He opposed the election OF an
assistant bishop on principle, and because
il is contrary to the very essence OF episco'
pacy.
Judge Sheffcy's speech embraced reply
to the arguments OF the opponents OF an as
sistant bishop.
