rested in New York the other day.
upon a charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses. He is COM
pletely broken down, having be-
come common thief and Outcast.
His condition is the logical outcome
of his course of life. BY pandering
TO the negro element of South Caro-
lima, he obtained complete control
of the state. lie emptied its jails
and its treasury; ran riot with wo-
men, conspired with thieves, lived
like II nabOb, and robbed like a
Turk. He was the darling of the
negro vote, and, though native of
Carolina, the northern Republican
party stood by him as if he was the
veriest carpet-bagger. One may
look in vain through the hist Dry of
every..state in the Union to find even
a faint suggestion of an official ca
reer so stepped in crime. and yet so
heartily applauded by the politi-
clans of the north. He now fits
through the police courts of New
York, living upon his wits, the
mere. wreck of his former self.
South Carolina has fallen into better

THE disposition of the porte to
NEEDLE with the affairs of Egypt
is not agreeable to France and Eng
land, who have the upper hand in
that country. The claim of suze-
ranity over Egypt put forward by
the sultan is the sheerest nonsense.
The Khedive, it is true, is still pledg-
ed to furnish a contingent.of $4,000
men when the sultan is engaged in
war, but Egypt is as far removed
from the sultan's control as is Mo-
rocco. Great Britain has her grip
on that country, and Englishmen
I'LL the most important offices, and
the finances are altogether under
the control of Great Britain and

gular laws of royal marriages here
is that the wife becomes the slave,

Because the crown prince, or future

free people of the realm he governs!
This is odd, but it is oriental"

IT IS two years now since James
Gordon Benefits Arctic expedition
on the steamer Jeanette, under
Captain DeLong, sailed out of sight
toward Wrangell Land, the half
doubted Arctic continent. No trace
of the explorers has since been
found, though two relief expeditions
are now searching for them, and a
third, that of the Corwin, has just
returned after landing on Wrangell
Land finding no trace of the jean
nette's party. The search for the

mentalism which sustains these re-
peated and perilous assaults ON the

Mrs. GARFIELD is simply show

reported, that she has suppressed

that she does not want any more
discussion about Mr.. Garfield's last
illness. If the purport ofBoynton's

must be even more deserving to be
sat upon than has been supposed,

self say that he has prepared an elab-
crate description of the wanderings
of MIR. Garfield's mind during his
latter days. 1t is no wonder that
Mrs. Garfield does not want this
published, but why Boynton should
propose to publish it is hard TO I'M
derstand, unless he simply desires TO
keep himself before the public, at
whatever cost.

EMIGRATION agents are being ar
rested in Germany for assisting
young men to leave the country and
avoid military duty. In Germany
every man capable of bearing arms
must serve three years in the line,
three years in the army of reserves,
and i've years in the landwehr-the
support of the standing army. Thus,
for eleven years of tho best part of
his life German is hindered in lay
ing the foundations of comfort for
his old age. No wonder that emf
grafton should be large from coun-
try which is a huge camp, and
whose government is rule by con-
scription; nc wonder that young
men will run the risk OF being
caught and imprisoned in their eff

potism. That agents are found 10
