We notice In the New Orleans papers
w. W. King, of that city, senior
member of the widely known Legal
firm of King & Gilmore established so
long ago as 1885. Mr.. King was, we
believe, a native of Alabama, and the
senior of several brothers who have
been in public life in Louisiana. Hon.
Peyton g. King was at one time Re-
ceiver of Public Moneys in Monroe
and member of the constitutional
convention Of this State in 1852. He
Is now a citizen of Birmingham, Ala.
F. A. King, Esq, another brother, is
pEacticIng law in New Orleans. Judge
Shortridge, who ran on the Know
Nothing ticket for Governor of Alaha-
ma in 1866, married sister of Mr..
King. Judge Shortrfdge died during
the war, we think, but his widow, a
most accomplished lady at whose hos-
pitable home the writer was passing
guest during the war, still lives.
w. w. King was for short term
Senator from New Orleans in the 1egis-
lature of this State; assisted the late
Hon Miles Taylor in compiling the
statutes of the State, and was at one
time Reporter of the Supreme Court.
He held no other public positions, but
was until quite recently an active and

belief and actions. He at his death

THE uncertainty of human events
is now having a very practical reali-
zation with our Republican friends.
A few months ago the press of that
party, claiming great political vic
tory, were jubilant in anticipation of
successful and harmonious admins
tration. These hopes were founded
upon the settlement of the party bick-
erings and the personal animosities Of
rival aspirants in the treaty of Men
tor, by which the new administration
would come into power divested of
all disturbing elements that had pro-
duced discord in the past. But little
over two months have elapsed since
the Inauguration of the Garfield adj
ministration, and how is it? The
party is rent asunder, confusion and
discord reign supreme in its counsels,
an open and exterminating war is de-
clared between its great champions
each proclaiming the others liars and
hypocrites and tyrants And why I?
Simply because they were before the
election what they are now-political
hypocrites and frauds, and the present
confusion of their councils is the le-
gitimate fruits of ill-gotten power,
gained by fraud and unlawful and
dishonorable means, in which each of
the prominent actors, discarding fair
ness and integrity one to the other,
intended to apply the results of tri-
umph to his own personal advantage.
To sum up in short, the present con-
test is Ia determine which of the
rogues, the man in the Executive
chair, or the man whose power of COM
bining rascally methods to place him
there, is the great mogul of the party.
How the fight may terminate can be
of little interest 10 the Democracy, or
honest men of any party. They can
afford to look on with much the same
indifference displayed by the woman
who witnessed the contest between her
husband and the bear, not caring
which obtains the victory.

Postmaster GENERAL JAMES was
one of the speakers at the banquet,
of the New York chamber of com
merce last week. lie stated that the
"Star route investigation" now pro-
crossing in the Post.office Department
was aimed at a system, not at men, but
that if the inquiry should disclose the
fact that persons have been guilty of
corruption and fraud, the guilty par
ties would be handed over to the At
torney General for treatment. He
also stated that the investigation would
be pursued until there are no more
facts connected with it to be ascertain
ed. There is now little, if any, doubt
of the existence of shameful and ex-
tensive fraud connected with this Star
route service and that officers and
other men who have figured promi-
nently in Republican partizan strug-
giles are deeply implicated. From the
evidence already disclosed the guilt of
Dorsey, Of the Republican National
Committee, and Brady, in charge Of

ment, seem to be established by un-
doubted facts, and the brave words

merited punishment
