the country. One of the most persistent
md active advocates of Stanley Matthews
is Judge Field OF California. Field has
it his busihess to go among the
Democratic Senators and urge the con-
tirmation of Matthews, offering his own
and assurances that Matthews
would be conservative on the bench, and
that he would be in full sympathy with his
(Field's) views on the Southern question,
and questions Of the Government generally.
This interference has become indecent.
Field himself is a most prominent partl-
san of the corporations in the Court, and
has gone SO far in that direction as to pro-
woke comment, and more than comment
from public men, who are worthy Of the
highest consideration. 1t has been we'll
understood, and indeed Field himself has
declared that if he had been nominated
support of the great Pacific railroads and
all their combinations.
A Battle with the MOOnshiners.
CHICAGO, March 25.-At Bristol, Tenn,
Major Kirby and a posse of twenty citizens
had a battle with the Middleton brothers.
the moonshiners, and their employees, at
an illicit still on the borders of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. Joe, Bill and Tom
Middleton were killed, and five Of their
men injured. The revenue officers will
500 renew the fight.
The Republican President.
NEW YoaK, March 25.-Local Republi-
can politics are still the theme Of all the
journals. The Tribune is jubilant at the
change affairs have taken, and says in its
editorial squibs 1t is a great thing, after
all, to have a President who knows some
thing about politics. There is less skepti-
cism about the rigidity Of Garfield's back
bone than there was. The whole Republi-
can party in New York has been recognized
except the chronic grum Dlers-and they
don't count. General Garfield plainly rec
ognizes the fact that he was selected Presi-
dent by the Republican party. The far
Their it gets the more it looks like q Gar
field Administration.
The Difference between COnkling
and Robertson.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-The Ledger's
New York correspondent says An intimate
friend Of Conkling assures me that the diff
ferences between Conkling and Robertson
are personal as well as political, and of a
kind not to be ~reconciled by any consider
alton Of party expediency. They do not
even speak to each other. One thing is
certain, if the President does not beat a
retreat from the nomination there will be
serious trouble in the Republican camp.
1t will not be long coming either.
Explosion of More Petards.n
New YORK, March 25.-The Herald's
Madrid special says: Every evening for
six consecutive days Madrid has been kept
in a state of alarm by the explosion of
petards. Some were fred in the busiest
streets, others in three of the churches
and theaters, causing the breaking of glass
and some burns. None of the offenders
have as yet been caught, though the police
and detectives are trebled after dark. 1t
is supposed that keepers Of gambling
houses have created this scare as a mark
against the Civil Governor, who continues
his active expression Of gambling. seizing
a house or two every day. Ladies hardly
dare go out on foot in the evening. Last
night five petards were fred.
Politicians Surprised.
WASHINGTON. March 25.-The politicians
here were surprised at the action Of the
New York Senate yesterday. As the State
Senate ia controlled by Conkling's friends,
this action is surmised by some persons to
been inspired by him, with a view of
relieving him from the embarrassment of
engaging in q contest in which he could not
hope for final success, but as he is not in
the habit of shrinking from a conflict, for
prudential reasons, there is probably no
truth in this surmise, and the explanation
is doubtless to be found in a spontaneous
desire of his New York friends to prevent
his taking a position on the subject, which,
in their Judgment, will be impolitic and
~prejudicial to his and their common in
terest.
Want AN Equal Division OF the
Federal Patronage.
BALTIMORE, March 25.-A State Conven-
ton Of colored voters wa held here yes
terday to take action with regard to a more
equal division of Federal patronage in
Maryland among the colored Repu blicans.
The resolutions adopted declare that the
Of Federal patronage is not in
with the principles of the Re-
publican party, and that the colored voters
are entitled to q fair division. A commit
tee was appointed to represent the condi-
ton Of thec olored voters in Maryland to
President, and request him to appoint
no gentleman to a leading position who
does not pledge himself to give a fairer
than heretofore to the colored
race.
