rions occupations since he left but never
been in want Of q good position. He

NEW YORK, June 21st, 1881.
EDITORS DAILY REPUBLICAN: Gen
tlemen and kind sirs: / am this morn
ing in receipb Of a clipping of two ar
ticleS written in reference ~ the Perry
freight car coupling. l am highly graft
fed and feel myself under very great
obligations TO you for thus speaking SC
fayorably and at such length, shall
say for my capse? no, no! for the cause
of any man OF set OF men? no, not that
either: but for the reason that you
speak for the great cause of humanity
You dohnot appear to be afraid to use
your pen and paper, because perchance
you may thereby advertise for some
other person.
How very unlike you are to one of
your neighbors, who when asked them
to give tie coupling enterprise a short
and favorable notice, said, Sir: our pa
per never prints any thing which might
be an advertisement unless we put it in
the regular advertising columns and
our regular rates are so much, &c. But
as soon as they began to reckon up regu-
lar advertising rates, l replied, Very
well Nlll hpl tAouplC yOus II lO-
member rightly have seen in the said
paper, whole columns devoted to de-
criptions OF brawls, fights of dogs,
quarrels Of women and men, of mobs,
of political disturbances, of horse races,
of colored races, Of pic-uics, &C., &C.,
and they were not advertisements eth
er, but when a man comes to them, who
has accomplished hundred fold more
good than either them or their fights of
men and dogs, with an invention that
is fraught with untold good to our fel
low men, he must receive at their hands
cold heartless thrust. Oh, well |
shall have TO let them thrust, and | !
guess that we shall get along any way.
That paper is the exception of the
ne wspapers which l have ever seen.
What a contrast this, to the very many
kindly notices which our coupling en-
terprise has received at the hands of
other editors OF newspapers.

NEW YORK, June 23.-Albert Slo
cum, manufacturer of straw goods a,
Milwaukee, one of the largest con-
Germs in the Northwest, whose assign.
ment, with liabilities at $3.50, 600, was
announced on Wednesday, has been
arrested here by the Sheriff under an
order of the court of common pleas on
the application of T. n. Cater, attorney
forJ .IimmermanSCO., straw goods mer-
chants, No. l61 Mercer street, New
York. Slocum is held in default of
$3S, 900 bail. The grounds of arrest are
the alleged disposition of his property
with intent to defraud his creditors and
an erroneous statement to obtain credit.
The case is extraordinary az being pro-
badly the only instance of a person
while under arrest here making an as
signment in another city. Slocum was
arrested on Tuesday, and shortly after
was allowed to telegraph to Milwaukee
to have an assignment made there. 1t
is supposed that deed of assignment
had been prepared with arrangements
to file 1t on short notice. Slocum claims
to have preferred Zimmerman & Co.,
j. S. Plummer and II. Weckher in
this city, to acertain extent. 1t is re
ported that he made two other special
assignments before leaving Milwaukee.
Some creditors have sent representa-
tives TO Milwaukee TO investigate.

STANLEY MATTHEWS q
FIRMED.

The telegraph brings us the unwelcome
news of the confirmation of Stanley
Matthews to the Supreme Bench of the
United States. Worst of all, it appears
that several Democratic Senators sus-
tanned him. Matthews is certainly un-
scrupulous, and caught a number of
Southern Democrats by a promise to
stand by the doctrine of extreme State
rights on all questions affecting the rela-
tive powers and sphere of the General
and State Governments. 1t was this sort
of pledge that captured Lamar, and we
have no doubt that other Southern Sem
ators were similarly influenced. They
seem to have forgotten or condoned the
participation of this corrupt trickster in
the consummation of the greatest politi-
cal crime known to our history, namely,
the fraudulent seating of Rutherford b.
Hayes in an Office which tue American
people had declared by an overwhelming
majority to belong to Samuel J. Tilden.
Every Democrat who voted for the con
firmation Of Stanley Matthews should be
spotted, and pursued relentlessly by the
Democratic press as a traitor to his party
and an enemy of free government and
constitutional liberty.

LONDON, May 13.-It is stated that owing
to Forster's declaration at Bradford against
amending the land bill, several Irish
members, who voted against Parnell at the
recent Home Rule meeting, have informed
him that they now consider themselves
bound by the decision of the meeting, and
will abstain from voting on the second
reading Of the bill.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-The mobs in
South Russia are attacking the students as
well as the Jews.
The Slavophile papers highly approve
the Cars manifesto. The other papers
receive it somewhat coldly.
1t is stated from Sofia that Prince Alex
ander will shortly proclaim Bulgaria in a
state of siege. The newspapers are forbid
den to say anything against the Prince Of
Bulgaria.

rived at Manorba, near Tunis, to-day.
General Breard sent word to the French
Consul-General here that he held himself

PARIS, May 13.-All the journals here
approve the ministerial statement relative
to the Tunis affair.

SCHOOL sTATIsTIcs

The latest statistics show al, 67S, 900
school children in the world, so far as the
censu takers were enabled to ascertain.
They have about 1000, 900 teachers.
First in proportion to population comes
the United States. with 1878, 1876 pupils
and 27l, la teachers. Both here and in
France the school children form one-fifth
of the population. Prussia, with 1907
776 pupils and 81, 1886 teachers, takes the
third place. Next come England and
Wales, where, as in Prussia, school
children are one-sixth of the population.
Austria then files into line. In Japan
there are 2, 1872, 962 school children, but
the total population is not known.

PATSY MARLEY.


Reformed and Rogenerated He
Goes to Wood River.
All old Coasters have known or heard Of
Patsy Marley. The Idaho Democrat has
this to say Of him: This renowned mid
dle-weight fighter has held up in no less
than t~wenty-four hard fought battles, and
in bat four or Ave Of these did be lower
his fins in defeat. A history Of his arenic
life would prove quite interesting. Twelve
or fifteen years ago he became convinced
Of the degrading influence Of the life be
was leading and completely reformed. 1t
required more nerve to do this than that
displayed in any Of his fights, and his
reformation was the greatest victory he
every won. Patsy hasn't had a turn-up in
. 24-foot ring since, but has followed the
nobler calling Of an honest miner. He
not only vowed to SHE his castor no more,
but also quit drinking, and has been
strictly temperate for many years. He is
perhaps W. and forty years OF age is the
picture of robust health, and good habits
have almost entirely obliterated the seams
and scars Of battle that once disigured
his face. He has many q tiff left In him
yet, and could make hot work for an OPP
ponent were he disposed to again enter the
prize ring. But those brutal exhibitions
no longer possess any charms for him.
The Patsy Marley of to-day is not the
Patsy Marley Of twenty years %. He is
. sober, quiet. Woodworking citizen, and
attends wholly to his own business. He
was last employed by the Elmira Company
at Banner, and is now here getting ready
for . big prospect in the Wood River coun-
try.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Sophie Perowskaia, the young woman
who was executed for completely in the
murder of the Gar, was lear being the
daughter-in-la law of Mouraiwieff, the man
of the Polish atrocities of nineteen years
ago. Her family intended her to be the
wife of Constantine, the Generals son.
She had a Polish g%overness who set her
against him, and prepared her mind for
the reception Of Socialistic doctrines by
d~enunciations of Russian officialism and
the Court. She lost her beauty in her
peregrinations and stormy adventures.
The law officer who Intercepted her and
prepared the indictment was Constantine
Mouraiweif, her first lover.

INTIMIDATION IN MASsACHU.
TT

General Butler holds that while the in
timidation of voters is decreasing in the
South, it is ON the increase in Massachu-
sets. He does not mean, he says, that
shotgun intimidation is on the increase,
but something more disastrous to a free
vote than thousands of shotguns. A man
who firmly believes in his principles is
not afraid Of a shotgun, but he is afraid
of his wife and family starving. The
manufacturers, says General Butler, in
iuence thousands of votes by the mean
est kind OF intimidation. They do not
say to their thousands of workmen that
if they vote the Democratic ticket they
will be discharged, but the facts SHOW
that such is the case. Every workman
knows that if he votes the Democratic
ticket he will lose his place, and hence
thousands do not vote at all. Although
there are railroads running through al
most every town in the State, and it is as
easy to get to the polls as in New York
city, yet only $50, 900 votes are cast out
Of more than 400, 900. In Boston, for
instance, there are only about IS, 900
VOTES cast, although there are 10000
voters in that city. The scant vote is
also attributable to the fact that Massa-
chusetts has, besides a poll tax, a very
rigid registration law. The voter, before
registration, must every time submit to a
searching cross-examination, ever though
he has exercised the privilege for twenty
years, and this often involves the loss of
a day, which is a serious inconvenience
to the working classes.
