10th inst, Miss MARY ANN EAGAN, was very
agreeaby surprised by a party of pleasure
seekers, who assembled in her spacious par
lor for a social reunion. The surprise was
genuine, Miss EAGAN having surmised moth
ing of the entertainment, and the generosity
and hospitality with which she entertained
the guests was truly admirable. After all
had arrived, the sofas, chairs etc., were re-
moved to the sitting room, Mr.. KEELER's
Orchestra was ushered in, and the parti-
cipants proceed to "trip the light fantastic
toe'' with grace and pleasure. During the
process of the quadril, various games and
other stimulants of enjoyment and sociabilty
contributed to the pleasure of the occupants
of the sitting. room. In proper time supper
with sumptuous banquet, embracing all the
deicacies Of the season, served with eXquis-
lite taste. After the paates had been satiated
the entertainment continued with evident
pleasure and enjoyment to all. The guests all
expressed themselves highly pleased and re-
turned to their homes.with the satisfaction of
having passed an evening more sociably and
a long time. Too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon those ladies who assisted so ma
terially in arranging the supper. GLBMN.
The Baptist picnic at Weston yesterday

Mr.. HAFER, who was injured in FROST'S
factory the other day will be compelled to re-

vide for the current expenses of his family.
A little practical sympathy from such of our
people as have been blessed in basket and
store," would we are sure be appreciated. 1t
is more blessed to give than receive.
There is no occasion for a conflict in regard
to the excursion to be run to Watkins Glen
on Tuesday next under the auspices of the
Wyalusing association, and the one proposed
by Germania Band. The fare is so low that
there will be more anxious to 90 than both
trains can accommodate. The Band is Justly
popular all through this section, and should
they decide to have an excursion will be well
patronzed. We know that those who go on
Tuesday will have pleasant day, as the com
mttee are leaving nothing undone to make it
a success. Quite a number have already pur-
chased their tickets for the excursion on the
10th.

Special to the Cincinnati CONNER cial.l
WASHINGTON, May 81 he dis
covery has been made that there is no
soldier element in the cabinet, and for
that reason it is urged that a soldier,
or rather an e~x-soldier, should be
appointed commissioner of p, %nsions,
in placed of Bently, who is NO t a SOL
der. 1t is alleged in support of this
proposition that the present cabinet is
the only one since the war which has
not contained ex.soldiers. In the
Garfield cabinet only one mar saw
service in the field, and he only for a
brief time as aid on Grants staff.
This was Lincoln.
The matter has been broug ht to the
presidents attention with a request
that an e~x-soldier, Brown, of Ohio, be
made commissioner of pension ms,
The president hesitates to make a
change in the pension Office, aud prob
ably will not. The present commits
%sioner, Bently, is an except iOnally
good officer, but unpopular in certain
high quarters.

The Position of one President.

Special to the Courier-Journal.I
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Tbe report
that the president had written a letter
to Dawes urging republican senators
to break the deadlock and act on bis
nominations. and also complaining Of
the action of the republicans in sup
porting Gorham for the secretaryship
of the senate, caused much comment
in political and official circles to-day.
Strenuous efforts were made to-day
and tonight to ascertain the truth or
falsity Of the report. Dawes was true
to his character Of the artful dodger,
and while not denying the letter from
the president, contents himself with
saying he had received no letter con-
tanning such statements, but at the
White House end Of the line it was
ascertained tonight that the presi.
dent had written a letter to Dawes,
which contained, at least in substance,
what is mentioned above. Futher-
more, the president has said repeated
ly, and he reiterated to-day in sub
stance, all that he was represented to
have said in Dawes letter. He talks
boldly and with frmness regarding
the folly of the republicans in the
senate how he will act hereafter is
another thing.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-There are
many rumors afoat as to the alleged
connection Of two newspaper men at
the national capitol with the star
route ring. 1t is said that an interest
in a Sunday paper here was lately
purchased with the proceeds from a
bargain with the ring. Brady's 9b-
serYations about newspaper brigands
may not be so far out OF the way.
There will shortly be revelations in
this line serving to throw light on a
dark subject. If the silence Of men
hanging on the ragged edge Ofjournal-
ism has been purchased or their praise
had for a price the facts should come
out. 1t is now believed that Brady
could an exceedingly interesting tale
unfold as to the connection Of the
press with the star route robberics
He is no doubt sure that money was
placed where it would do the most
good. There is a growing belief here
that attempts were made by so called
newspaper men to black mail Brady,
which did not succeed. The impress
sion is that others met with better
success. and that he and his star route
contractors came down handsomely.
Brady has been stung m~ereilessly BY
the press, and here is a chance to, in
part, get ever. He should disclose all
the circumstances Of the alleged black.
mail, and also give to the public the
names Of the fellows who got money
out Of him, ifany there be. The le-
climate newspaper profession, the
country over, would thank him fol
this.

The new road law will create eight

by illicit distillers and their friends in

lied the colored citizens to such an
extent that they are afraid even to
speak Of the ~outrages, much less CON
denim them. There is no such thing
in Franklin county, on the part Of re-

Coming events cast their shadows
before them. A little over ten years
ago the Memphis and Vicksburg rail
road was chartered. Failure after
failure to do anything with this road,
except on paper, has almost driven
out the last spark of hope froIo the
breast of the average VicksbuTger.
To-day came unheralded to our city,
three active, intelligent and working
railroad men, G. ". Huntington, 4.
y. Redfeld, of Boston, Mass, and
Hugh L. Brinkley, of Memphis, Tenn.
Messrs. Huntington and Red6eld are
experienced railroad men, OF ability,
financially and Intellectually, to ac-
conplish whatever they undertake.
Mr.. Hugh l.. Brinkley, grandson Of
Judge Overton, and son of the distin-
guished inancier of Memphis, the
late Robert G, Brinkley, is also a mar
of means and ability.
These gentlemen are said to be in

one hundred dollars reward to the

They are determined to have a roaL to

The meeting was a full one of men in

There was no red tape about it, and

The Mississippi democratic execu.
tive committee, comprised of sixteen
members, will meet at Jackson, next
Monday, the 9th inst, for the purpose
ofcalling a state convention. Colonel
Alexander Yerger, Of Bolivar county,
a member Of the committee for the
state at large, was in the city yester-
day, and also MI. Mr.. Lee Balch. Of
Sardis, another member. These gem
tlemen, we understand, favor an early
day for the convention, say in June
or about the first of July, for the
reason that where much time is given
men take a frmer stand for their
friends, and a~ntagonisms are liable to
be created which are hard to recon-
Gle in a convention. The cleo
ton for governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, secretary Of state, treasurer,
auditor, encouragement and super
intendent of public education will be
held on the 8th Of next month. 1t is
believed that the nomination ola good
ticket will ensure its election. The
chairman of the committee is the Hon.
W. L. Hemingway, the present state
treasurer. 1t is understood that the
present state officers are, or probably
will be, candidates for reelection. The
next legislature will elect a United
States senator to succeed Senator La
mar, whose term Of Office expires
March 4, 1893. Everything points to
his reelection, though there may be
others who aspire to the position. 1t
is surmised that there will be a strong
move to tender the nomination for
governor to Gen. L. c. Walthall,
a distinguished gentleman who has
declined Office with more
persisteney than any man in the south
tor several years past. He seeks no
office and wishes none, but the nomi-
nation might be put in such a shape
that he could not decline to accept.
There are numerous aspirants for all
the other state Offices, many of them
prominent men, all doubtless worthy
and competent. If the democrats stand
together and exercise their usual en-.
ergy and discretion they will carry the
state easy enough. AT the election
OF 1880 the popular vote cast was a,

Tilden's 67, which shows that til.
