A STORY.

The story was telegraphed from Peoria
that Grove, the inventor of the internal
machines, was arrested in Peoria yesterday:
The United States marshal says there is no
truth in the report. No arrests have been
made, and neither the marshal nor any of
his deputies have been in Peoria on such
business. One special says the arrest was
practical joke This probably accounts
for the story.
Certainly the United States marshal has
received no orders in the matter. and will
not arrest anybody without specified au-
thority.

Cat With Fly.Pauer Attachment.

Kingston, n. Y, Freeman "An up
town lady is the owner of cat who
loves to jump after flies. This lady,
wishing TO rid herself of some flies, pur-
chased several sheets of sticky hy paper,
and on Saturday morning placed one OF
them on the writing desk in the dining
room and went about her work. Soon
she heard remarkable noise, and the
next instant the cat went through the
room with such speed that it could only
be likened to cat being shot from a
cannon. 1t was nothing but dull, gray
streak. In the rear, attached to one or
its hind feet, followed the sheet OF fly
paper. The animal was perhaps the
widest cat ever seen. She took IN every
room, staircase and hallway in the
house, and went through them all at the
same gait, except increasing it slightly
in going down stairs, owing to the fact
that she didn't stop to count the steps,
and wherever she went the tly-paper fol-
lowed like grim fate, and the cat would
likely still be 'scooting" through the
house like veritable spectre had not its
owner, in attempting to shut one of the
doors, so as to narrow the scene OF op-
eratiors, caught the paper fast. AS 1t
tore loose from the hind-foos of the cat
she gave an awful yowl and disappeared
under the ice-box, not returning to her
usual serenity until several hours after.
Since that time, when she sees bit of
fly-paper, with wonderful sagacity, learn
ed by experience, she makes tracks with
the speed of coyote to some other part
of the house, and if fly audaciously
buzzes in proximity to her nose she
merely looks at the insect with an In
jured air, as much as to say: eyes. you

Editor Morning -hews: In last Sun
days July 24tb) New York Tribune,
page 10, column 3, 1 note this bit of
news:
General Merritt, Commander-in-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, with members of his staff and of the
National Council of Administration,
is visiting the various posts IN the East
ern Departments. Friday night he
visited John A. Rawlins' Post No. so, of
this city, Rankin Post, of Brooklyn,
being guests of Rawlins' Post, at the
same time, ETC., etc.
Now, Mr.. Editor permit me to ask what
is this military organization, "the Grand
Army of the Republic?" Is it one of
the armies authorized by the Constitu-
ton and raised by act of Congress, or is
it part of the militia of New York?
Again, is not this General Merritt, the
Commander-in-C Chief of it, the late Col
lector of New York, transferred by
President Garfield to Europe as Charge
dAfatreS or something of that sort, and
for which change COnkling kicked up
his recent disgraceful rows with the
President and resignedsfrom the Senate;
and the same Merritt, who was repre-
scented by the New York papers to have
been so much agitated when he heard of
Guiteau's firing on the President?
Verify, the shadows seem to dalken.
There may have been more reason for
sending Merritt out of the country to
Europe and putting a staunch Demo
cratic Republican like Robertson in his
place, than the public are aware of. and
is it not time for the people to be little
curious in the matter?

DEMOCRAT OF THE OLD SCHOOL
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-07-28
1 he President Have the People
Been Deceived
st. Louis Republican

An impression has gained ground that
the people have not been dealt with fair.
" in the daily bulletins from the White
House at Washington, relative to the
condition of President Garfield Dr.
Bliss, the surgeon in charge, appears to
have been impressed with the idea that
in case Of recovery he should bear the
exclusive palm of praise. For this rea-
son another physician who is in the
habit of speaking his mind, was summa
rily dismissed at an early stage, and no
one has been permitted to see the Presi-
dent except those predisposed to the
theory that the patient was bound to
get we'll under Bliss treatment. There
are those even who see in the rose
colored dispatches of Secretary Blaine
an intended bearing upon the case
of his ancient enemy, COnkling,
at Albany; and they point to the curious
coincidence of the relapse Of Mr.. Gar
field with the defeat of the "boss" ex-
Senator by the Republican caucus of the
New York Legislature. These say that
the stories of the cOnvalescence of Gui-
teau's victim, his return to stalwart diet,
the preparations for a sea voyage, etc. D.,
Blaine's political schemes, and that it is
very curious just at that time the Presi-
dent was passing the pivotal period of
his most serious and critical confinement.
Certainly there is reason to believe that
if had been thou ght at Albany that Gar
field would die and Arthur succeed him,
Coukling could have still ruled whereas
the Presidents cOnvalescence was politi-
cal death to COnkling, and even that orr
ginal stalwart Conkling organ, the Globe
Democrat, in the changed aspect of the
case was bold enough to propose Gar
field for a second term!
All this gossip may be highly imagina-
tive and, towards the surgeons and Mr..
Blaine, wrongful in the extreme, but it
is unquestiOnably true that there has
been apparent purpose to conceal from
the public certain facts possessing i'm
pOrtant bearings upon the case. On
Saturday, Notwithstanding the mislead-
ing messages of the Presidents Secreta-
ry, the stock brokers had information
indefinitely and largely conjectural, it is
true-that during the previous night,
anterior to the Secretary's kilograms. the
distinguished invalid had suffered an
alarming relapse, ana the news was pri
vately circulated in every city of the
Union before the posting at Washington
of the official bulletin.
1t may be-we fervently trust it is
true-that the President will recover,
but now is as good time as any to say
that if the universal apprehension is UNI
founded, the doctors and the officials
about the White House are largely to
blame for it.

The National COTTON Excnange.

The fifth annual Convention of the
National Cotton Exchange of America,
which has just closed its session in New
Orleans, marks an era in the history of
the cotton trade. The organization OF
exchanges in the various cotton centres
Of the South led to splendid results in
the way of regulating the trade in the
great staple, but there were questions
which could not be adjusted by local
associations, and the National Exchange
grew out of the necessities of the situa
ton. That it has done much to advance
the interests of the cotton trade since its
Inauguration in 1874 is universally ad
mitted. A uniform standard OF classiti-
cation has been established through its
influence. A system of information and
statistics relative to the growing crops,
and the movement of the staple, has
been carried out and is being perfected
each year.
The principal questions considered at
the recent meeting were of much inter
est to the entire trade, viz
/ The matter of renewing ard preparing
national standards of classification.

ton of Mr.. Louis Bush as President was
a fortunate one, and insures a vigorous
administration. Mr. Thos. L. Airey as
Treasurer could not be improved upon.
In the choice of Secretary the Executive
Council fulfilled the wishes of the cotton
trade in re-electing Mr.. Henry G. Hes
ter, who has so ably filled the position
for several years past. Mr.. Hester was
last week elected member of the New

The Gnrernmenf Tea Farms.

Commissioner LOring has caused in
spectiOn to be made of the government
tea farm, located by Commissioner lie
Due in South Carolina, and indications
are that it will be abandoned, and per
haps another located further south. Mr.
Saunders, the inspector, found the Caro-
lima tea farm in rather poor condition,
with a soil of poor, hungry sand, ."
which would need long course of agri
cultural dOctoring before it would be
sufficiently fertile. He also thinks the
tea farm situated too far north, inasmuch
as the warmest climate produces the
strongest tea, and recommends that the
Carolina experiment be given
up and the expense curlailed.
This will be unwelcome news
to many, who, in spite of the gibes
Of the Northern press against Commits
sioner lie Dues experiment, and fully
satisfied that tea can and will be success
fully grown, not only in the semi-tropical
climate of Florida, but throughout the
CarOlinas, Georgia aud the Gulf States.
1t has already proved successful in
Southern Georgia, and, however "poor
and hungry" Mr.. Saunders may think
the land of the sea coast region, it is
within the scope of probability that the
finest and most valuable Southern tea
farms of the future will be found on
soils OF that charac ter.

The Sunreme Court,

At the time of Judge CliffOrd's death
the Supreme Court was thus constituted:
Morrison r. Waite, of Ohio, Fourth
district, Chief Justice.
Nathan Clifford, Maine, First district.
Ward Hunt, New York, Second dis
trict.
VIM. B. Woods, Alabama. Third dis
trict.
Joseph P. Bradley, New Jersey, Fifth
district.
Stanley Matthews, Ohio, Sixth district
John N. Harlan, Kentucky, Seventh
district.
Samuel F. Miller, Iowa, Eighth dis
trict
Stephen J. Field, California, Ninth
district.
In politics the Supreme Court is sup
posed to be non partisan, but the theory
does not hold good in practice, as in
questions involving party issues the
court has frequently shown political
bias. Out of the eight living judges,
but one, Judge Field, can be classed as
a Democrat in politics. In casting about
for a successor to Judge Clifford, there
fore, it is important, suggests the Wash
ington Post, that the President keep in
view the fact that there should be main
tanned some sort of political equilibrium
in that dignifed body. 1t would be
very graceful thing for him to do to be-
stow the vacant robe Of Office upon some
learned and upright Democratic lawyer.
