INDEFENsIBLE.- act of President
Garfield against the stalwarts in New
York is pronounced by both parties as
indefensible. He withheld the commits
sion of Robertson. after appointing him
to the New York custom house, for the
purpose, it is alleged, of retaining him
in the Legislature to aid in the defeat Of
Conkling. We are not at all surprised
at aarfeld's course in this matter. 1t
is good and consistent Republican tao
tics, and Republicans, ct least, have no
right to complain. If it is violation of
Estates rights" an intrusion" no mat
ter~it is no more than the Republicans
have been doing foF twenty years.

NEW HAMPsHAE DEADLoeK.-Fhe
reason there is deadlock In the New
Hampshire proposition to elect United
States Senator seems to be that Senator
Rollins, whose tins expires March Alb,
1888, desires to be his own successor,
and has been doing his best to secure
his re-eiestion by the present Legisla-
ture, lest his opposing colleague, BILLY
Chandler" should Gust hin hefoTe the
meeting of another Legislature. Billy,
it is said, now wants to be sole ''boss.
and to handle that $50, 900 patronage by
himself, while Rollins thinks it best to
secure his reelection while he feels sure
of his friends in the Legislature.

It is quite probable, says Washing
ton dispatch, judging from the expires
sions of members OF Congress, that some
of the star route service discontinued by
the Postmaster General will be restored
by order of Congress when that body

that great dissatisfaction is exhibited in
sections of the Southwest over the dis.
continuance of the mail service.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The London
Spectator points out strongly the folly OF
straining the friendly relations of Eng
land and France, just because the latter
has played In Tunis game which Great
Britain is usually playing in three OF
four places. 1t presents a lively view OF
the value of the French alliance, and
speaks thus of the consequences of a
rupture: There is not corner of the
world, not sea, not British posses
sion, in which we should not instantly
find our fleets weighted with new bur
dens, our commerce hampered with
new precautions, our colonies worried
with new fears. And all for what's In
order that we might be safe against a
power from which we want no territory,
which we do not desire to weaken, lest
Germany rule the world, and with
which our permanent interests are near.

The experimental use of the electric
light in street lighting in portion of
New York city has shown such fluctua-
tons in the intensity of the light as ne.
eessitate improvements before it can be
generally adopted. The fluctuations are
ascribed to the use of steam power in the
production Of the electricity, and it is
proposed to employ batteries instead of
the dynamo electric machines. The ex
pectation is that the change will be not
only economical, but insure a perfectly
steady light in both volume and intensity.

Grants Last Deliverance.
Time.

Grant says Conk was insulted by the
President and sighted by the Senate.
He was insulted by the President in
the nomination of Robertson, who was
not an humble servant of Conkling.
He was slighted by the Senate because
that body dec lined 10 tie up or refuse to
confirm nominations in New York simply
because the nominees were distasteful to
Conk and Little Me" Platt
This is Grants political ethics n0D.
Once, when he had power, his ethics
were very different
He appointed Simmons Collector of
the port of Boston against the protest of
the entire Massachusetts delegation in
the House except Ben Butler. Simmons
confirmation was vigorously opposed by
both the Massachusetts Senators. Grant
insisted on the confirmation of Summons,
and Conk helped it through the Senate
with all his eloquence and magnificent
bullying. Grant and Conk are pretty
fellows to be whining about such Gin
suits" ana "slights" as they specify in
their present QUARREL
The rest of the Grant interview, as
given in our dispatches, is simply the
sublimity of impudence. The display of
cheek is enormous; the self-complaisant
style of claiming" things is even be-
yond the usual insolence of the Grant
crowd, and the revelations of personal
communications from General Garfield
socially infamous. None but an essen
TALLY low-lived fellow, or man beside
himself with imperial conceit, could
have been guilty of such brutality and
bad manners.
Grant. anyhow, is a pretty figure to
come criticising anybody for the faults
he lays at Garfeld's door, Not one
blInder or offense he charges to Gar
field, but were heaped mountain-high by
himself in the first year of his Presi-
dency. The man don't seem to know
that he has been overwhelmingly repu-
dated by his party and by the country,
and that modest silence is the proper
role for him to play.
Grant acts and talks as if he were
hardly responsible for his conduct and
language.

The particulars of the escape of Billy
the Kid from Fort Stanton, Colorado,
prove him as bold as he is bad. He is
only twenty-one, slight and boyish in
looks, but hardened in villany. being
guilty of numerous murders. He was
under sentence of death for one OF these
crimes. His casual remark. II shan't
be there at the hanging" led to the pre-.
caution of Stacking him heavily and
placing two armed guards over him.
While alone with one of these Billy
felled him with blow of the manacles
and then killed him with his own pistol.
The other guard was easily shot on his
approach to the house. The desperate

THE PRESIDENT UNHAPPY. "A lawyer
friend of Gath's says that Garfield is in a
most unhappy state of mind, afraid that
his precipitation has at last opened the
breach in the party through which the
Democratic enemy is TO enter into long
possession. His wife, who is a woman
of good sense and perception, was
brought to her bed by discerning that he
had split on this rock in the early weeks
of his power. The same authority says
that two or three persons in the Cabinet
are by no means satisfied with the out
look for the party, and expect that the
loss of New York this fall will give them
the whole labor of the past five years to
do over again, even if they ever succeed
in recovering the State after the heart
burnings which have been sown.

Malone not only has the Federal patron

EDUCATION AND THE BALLoT.-In its
progress towards free constitutional gov
eminent Italy is about to try an expert
ment which will be watched with in
terest by the enlightened statesmen of
both continents. The government has
formally announced to the Chamber of
Deputies that no scheme would be pro-
posed for the extension of suffrage ex-
cept to such persons as have received "a
sound, standard elementary education. :"
BY setting up an educational test for
suffrage Italy may again become a
teacher of the science of government to
the nations, who have long looked upon
her only as the somewhat impoverished
inheritor of the best traditions of art.

A Highwayman Fooled by a Pas

SeDSef.
A dispatch from San Antonio, Texas,
to the New Orleans Democrat says the
south bound stage on the Ell Paso stage
line was stepped within five miles of
Fredericksburg at about $50 o'clock
Tuesday night by one masked man.
The passengers were ordered to hold up
their hands and the driver told to go
through the mail. There were on board
four passengers besides Brown, the stage
driver, Jennie Mitchell, John Mcneil, a
Californian, Carl Hartman, discharged
soldier, and H. T. Thurmond, of
Kickapoo Springs. The passen-
gers were then made to
get out of the stage. The Californian
was observed by the robber to be holding
up only his left hand, and was asked
why he did not hold up his right hand
also? The Californian replied: Come
closer and find out" having his right
hand on his pistol The robber then
fired at him, and, grabbing the mail bag,
made for the bushes. Mcneil, the Cali.
fornian, had with him $500 in money
and $1S, 900 in checks from San Fran
cisco banks, and was determined not to
give up without fight. The only booty
the robber got was the through mail
pouch, containing the registered pack
ages. 1t is not yet known what amount
the mail contained.

An Extraordinary Escape.
San Francisco Post


Readers of the Post will probably re-
member that about one year ago man
was reported drowned by jumping into
the water off the San Rafael steamer
while about to start on her trip at the
foot of Cay street. The mans name
was Albert Madison, and he was in
charge of the Sheriff of Mendocino
county, en- route for San Quentin, to
serve out long sentence for robbery
The entire police force of this city made
diligent search for Madison under the
wharves and along the city front, but
without success. He had on one foot
an Oregon boot, made of iron,
weighing twenty-five pounds, and it
was supposed for a long time that
he was drowned, as it seemed impossible
that he could escape from the weight
attached to him. 1t has been ascertain
ed that when he jumped overheard the
tide was ebbing, and that he crept along
under the water short distance until
under the wharf, when, safe from obser-
vation, he waded close in shore. He
found small boy with boat who was
gathering driftwood, whom he took
prisoner. Madison got into the boat and
kept the boy quiet all day. At night he
landed on Broadway wharf, had the boy
show him blacksmith shop, gave him
So 30 and dismissed him. At the shop
he procured tools, cut loose the heavy
iron letters and got away, and has re-
Gently been heard from in Arizona.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has ad-
journed after session of one hundred
and fifty days. The constitution limits
the sessions to one hundred days, but
permits their extension to one hundred
and fifty days if the public interests de-
mand it, The legislators thought this
year the public interests required it.,
especially as an act of 1874 allows the
members $40 day when the session is
prolonged. The Attorney General of
the State announced a few weeks ago
that this extra compensation act was I'M
constitutional, and the State Treasurer
has declined to pay any more than the
regular salary of $1,000 for the session.
