when II becomes apparent that the Democrats have
not yielded TO his Establishments, hIs caquers shOat
that the Administration Is treating with thcI1.
The Democrats are jubIant over what they think
Is a split in the Republican party They were never
more mistaken. The Republican party is solid.
BoSssm Is the institution that is about to be split
The hardest worked man in Washington Is our
assistant Senator. Mr.. Plat. As soon as this con-
test is over Mr.. Conklng should grant him q yaca-
ton.
a. might have been expected, the Deputy Demo
cratic editors and the NncompOop wing Of the Civil
Service refomers are profoundly grieyed by tho
Presidents action. They say no Is acting like
mere politician and is compromising the dignity Of
his office. Yet these same journals have clamored
necessarily for years for the overthrow Of Bossisn
and the publication of the Civil Service. They must
admit that there can be no Civil Service reform SO
long as Senatorial courtesy" is maintained The
theory that the Senators have the right to distribute
all the patronage is the worst obstacle to Civil Ser
vice reform. The Senate caucus has served notice
on the President that that theory must be main
tanned He must either surrender fight. Yet tho
minute he begins TO fight the Civil Service nncomS

the Bosses take the same view. They are also
shocked. Perhaps If Bossism were abolished tho
nincompoops would have nothing to wall about, and
this may be the reason they are opposing ito abolI

Judge Robertson says he fears the President las

The letter we print to-day upon Southern
manufactures is q careful summary of the con-
illusions made by special correspondent
whose careful and judicial habits of observa-
ton attracted the attention of readers OF The
TRIBUNE at the very beginning of his CORE
spondence The opinions expressed are derived
from tour through every Southern state but
Florida, and have been stated only after
thorough examination of the whole ground.
The fact that they have been formed by means
of painstaking inquiry makes the hopeful view
they take of the future of Southern manufac-
lures highly encouraging.

The Democratic Senators must feel greatly

telligence by certain Republican Senators who
are opposing the President. The most con-
spicuous of this latter class has carefully re-
Trained, in a long political debate of six weeks
from saying anything that might wound the
feelings of the most sensitive Democrat lhe
Senators of that party are, apparently, ex-
pected to be so overcome by this kindness that
they will vote Yes or No upon any subject as
Mr.. Conkling desires. The man who enjoys
being told to his face that he is fool has not
vet been discovered, and if the Democratic
Senators enjoy this silent but equally emphatic
intimation to that effect they constitute an
extraordinary species among mankind. If So
they must also have been pleased to hear SEN
ators remark, as they have been doing, that
the Vice-Prcsidcnt has been inviting Demo
Gratis of late to take his place in the CHAIR,

of winning Democratic votes. The ostrich Is
dull bird, but it does usually manage to
get more than the tip of It's beak into the
sand.

The intimation Of Mr.. Carlyles niece that
Mr.. Froude violated the instructions which ac-
cOmpanied the manuscript of the Reminis-
cences and prescribed the strictest editing
before printing, has brought out a card from
Mr.. Froude in which he easily rcfutes the
charges. He admits receiving the instructions,
but states that he gave it as his opinion to Mr..
Carlyle that the greater part Of the book
should be published To this the response
was that discretion in the matter wac CON
ferred upon him in Mr. Carlyle's will, and this
authority was subsequently confrmed-never
revoked Permission to publish was the con
ditiOn upon which the trust was accepted, and
an offer to surrender it two years ago was de-
clined. This proves Mr.. Froude innocent OF
bad faith, if indeed any one ever seriously
suspected him of il, and leaves the question
simply one of judgment. Probably few per
sons think that his duty was performed with
unfailing good taste. There are details in this
little work, which has made such storm in
the world of letters, that might well have been
silenced. But to have altered or omitted any
of its essential features would have been to
falsify it. Carlyle drew his own portrait and
Mr. FrOude had no moro right to modify II
than he had to utter any other literary lie.
The angry censure TO which he has been sub
jected is strangely unphilosophical, considering
that mankind profess always to be earnest
So, kcrs after the facts. History being full Of
lies, this instance of downright tuih-tellng is
clear gain, and Mr. FrOudc deserves no
blame

IL the Whitaker trial has accomplished any
thing thus far, it is to embroil aud confuse
and set by the ears the whole fraternity of
penmanship experts. Yesterday one of these
gentlemen insisted that a loop which the
Judge Advocate described as "full and flowing"
was really "sharp and angular y and when
the Judge-AdyOcate said certain passage was
awkward and scTawlng" he vowed that it
was particularly graceful" The effect of
this upon the minds of the Court can be
more easily imagined than described.
The travelling salesman, whose modeSty sell
dom eclipses his merit, has inaugunted a
new and expeditions system of doing business
with courts. One of this class having been
summoned as juror in Judge Lawrence's
Court, sat down and wrote him friendly note,
In which with perfect amisbility he informed
the Judge that his business, which was that of
q travelling agent, would require him to leave
the city on the day for which he was sum
moned, and that il would DO serious incon-
yenience for him to attend. He went on to say

The death Of Nine. Blance, the
widow of the famous proprietor Of

will place her son-in-law, M. Ro-
laud Bonaparte--it is questioned
whether he is CT titled to the prin-
ce!y style-in possession OF a very
large fortnne-one that can be
measured only by the million. AS
the young man at the time Of his
marriage had nothing but his
scanty pay as a suL-.ieutenantand
his fathers life closed in absolute
want, this is net the least curious
vicissitude Of fortune in the histo-
ry Of a family notable for its ups
and downs. 1t is quite among the
possibilities, it may be added,
that this marriage may have its
effect upon the map of Europe,
or rather upon such maps Of Eu-
rope as show the little principality
Of Monaco. What with the oppo-
sition ofreligiou5 people who trav-
ell through that beautiful part Of
Europe, the growing prejudice on
the Continent against licensing
gaming-tables and the ABDOMINAL
scandals reported almost daily
from Monaco, there Is already
strong feeling both in France and
Italy against the further tolera-
ton of gambling on the territory
of Tia ir little neighbor, and the

II was about an hour before sun
sat, when chief engineer McCarty,
returning from the ascent of the
mountain, entered the glade in
which is Lee. The other members
Of the party followed at some dis
lance, being heavily laden with
the carcass of boar which Nc
Carly had shot. Stealing quietly
from the jungle to take his friend
by surprise, he saw him sitting
upright beneath the tree under
which he had left him; but wrap
ped closely up in the folds of some
thick, heavy fabric of the most
beautiful colors. McCarty stop
ped, puzzled. Where had Lee
got such lovely mantle,and why,
above all, was he wearing it upon
this sultry evening? Just then
he noticed an object sWaying TO
and and fro, now and then rub
bling itself against his cheek and
lips. With cry McCarty sprang
forward, and saw Lees form
wrapped in the folds Of beauti-
full serpent whose velvet skin
cleaned with gold, and crimson,
and soft spots Of green and blue,
while its small beautiful head lay
close to that Of the lieutenant.
McCarty uttered a scream of ter
ror. Starting at the sound. the
serpent cast it. diamond eyes up

1t was the evening of day some
four or five days later than the
one upon which happened the
incident we have related. In a
s lrt of glade surrounded on three
sides by jungles, and on the other
by a high cliff, far beneath which
moaned the ocean, De Grey Lee
was reclining very much at his
ease upon a tarpaulin spread at
the foot of large tree. He was
awaiting the return of the chief
engineer, who with the other sail
ors and members of his party had
attempted the ascent of steep
volcanic shaft which rose from
near the center of the island, and
which Lee felt no inclination to
climb. Huge plants of luxurious
growth fiourished in the glade.
Slender vines and twining creep
ers hung from the boughs of the
trees, in which disported gaudy
birds with harsh, dissonant voices.
While lying in an easy position
watching the numerous varieties
of animal life which fourished in
the glade, and feeling somewhat
oppressed by the heat, Lee became
conscious of low humming sound
close to his ear. AS he noticed it,
it was with the peculiar feeling
that he had heard it for some time
before II had attracted his atten-
