4 Wise Man and q Fool,

Dr. Hammond is Il very foOlisl, man
indeed. lie answers the letter of Gui-
teau'S counsel with declaration that
under no circumstances will he be wit
ness for the accused since his opinion of
MIR. Garfield's surgical treatment in no
way lessons his sense of Guiteau's guilt.
DIR. Hammond is very fond of notoriety,
and no doubt thinks he is sacrificing a
great deal in refusing to exhibit himself
on the stand in this conspicuous trial ::
but what an elementary knowledge he has
OF his dutieSas citizen! One would think
that every man knew that it was not a
matter of volition with him whether he
should or should not lie il witness. Ham,
mond being off in New Y York may not be
readily brought to Washington by sub
ptpna, but that docs not make his duty
TO SO any the less if he is demanded by
the law. He appears to consider that
this thing of being witness is busi-
ness or profession and so in truth it is
with experts of his kind and rroii:a-
ble business. too.
General Butler, on the ether hand,
exhibits his excellent sense in the re-
sponse he makes to the application for
his services as Guiteau's attorney. He
declares that an attorney ought not,
without good cause, to refuse to stand
for man whose life is in danger in a
court in which he practices his profes-
sion and he bases his refusal to act for
Guiteau upon The sufficient reason that
his time is engaged by other clients at
the period fixed for the trial.

MISTAKES IN MONEY ORDERS.

Nealiy Two Millions of Dollars for Which,
No Owners can be Found.
4" Is it true," inquired q reporter OF
Postmaster Pearson, of New York, ycster-
day, that there are nearly $4,000, 600 in
the United States sub treasury, represent.
ing accumulations from unpaid money
orders for several years back:''
"Ies. replied the postmaster, Il sup
pose that in round numbers they hold
about that amount belonging to careless
persons whom it is impossible for us to
find."
"What do you propose to do with this
money MIR. PearsOn?"
Congress will probably be asked at
its next session to make some disposition
of it,
"Why was this not done heretofore :''
well, there was no legal limitation to
the time when funds of this character NAV
DO accounted for. The postmaster cannot
tell when the parties to money order
may correct fatal mistakes in the order
and demand their money. You knew we
must always be prepared to pay on legal
demand"
'Can you give me a general idea of the
way in which such large, unclaimed &C
cumulation of money comes about "'
"Primarily it is due to lack of knowl-
edge concerning the operations of the law
under which the money order system is or
ganized. Then great many people who
understand the provisions of this law arc
habitually careless in making out the
order. For instance, they may get the
name of the payee wrong, or they may ne
glect to notify him by mail. Then, again,
the person to whom the money is sent
may be travelling man, who has left the
town where the order is payable and
who may never return there again. No
legal provision has been made for advcr-
tising for these people. The individual
amounts which 60 to make up the large
sums of unpaid money orders in this Of
flee are, generally speaking, small, and no
doubt have long been forgotten b. tho
persons who were to receive them. All
post offices which do reasonably fair
share of money-order business have the
same trouble to contend with, but some
day or other Congress may definitely settle
postal responsibility in the matter.''

AN FRESHMAN SIEAkS.

| What he thinks Of the Present Troubles and
Of the IRISH Question Generally.
10 tie Editors Of tile HteNigencer:
DEAR SIR-Believing that the article in
the INTELL1eENCEK last evening was cal
culated to mislead many Of your readers
regarding Ireland's troubles | wish to in
form you that neither the people of Ireland
nor tho 1rishmen of this country entertain
the idea of An agrarian distribution of
the land to the tenants, and the election
of the landlords neck ard heels from the
country" On the contrary the people are
ready now, and ever have been to
pay a fair and just rent. But they
are not willing any longer to pay, as they
have so long been, more money yearly
as rent than the land they held was val
ued at. 1t was this system that has kept
the people in perpetual poverty and caused
the famines to carry of its natives so
often. Such system finds but few de-
tenders. Irishmcn would be less than
men to submit to such a condition. In
attempting to change it they have not
only the sympathy and aid of their
cOuntrymen in this country, but of
fair-minded Americans everywhere.
The Land League was tho only
power that could grapple with
the power that upheld the unjust land
system. To crush it now means to keep
the people where they were, but tho pco-
pie of Ireland and tho Irish in America
understand their dealings with landlords
and English statesmen. We have had
some experience with both, and you know
very we'll that experience teaches every
one who can be taught.
The Irish believe, like the Americans,
that they have the right to govern them
selves. They do not nor never did and
never will acknowledge the right of Eng
land to rule them. Might does not make
Irish arc incapable of believing that it
does.
When the Irishmcn of America send
their money and their sympathies to such
a cause they do not send it " to destroy
the rights of property the world over as
you think they do. We send it to destroy
the most unjust system in existence and
to assist cur fellow countrymen in regain
ing their lost rights-to govern themselves.
The true Irishmen of America will con-
tinue on sending their cash " and every
thing that may be necessary to free them
selves forever from the brutal power that
has ever treated them unfairly. Tho Irish
men of American who can hold on to their
" CASH. when their kindred are being shot
down for meeting in the streets, and their
leaders cast into prison at the arbitrary
rule of an Englishmau are in my humble
opinion, very poor specimens of men.
Ireland poor and bleeding as she is dis
owns such characters.
Yours Respectfully,
NEAL F. DUNLEyY.

TIE NEW ADMINISTRATION
Tho Probable Composition of tho New Cabl-

\ special despatch from Washington
says: lit seems to be a generally accepted
fact that President Arthur has selected
several gentlemen for cabinet offices, and
that nominations will be made to the Sem
ate within 4 few days after his return
from Yorktown. 1t is believed that the
president would have preferred not to have
made any changes in the cabinet until the
December session, but the urgent requests
OF Messrs. Window and MacV Veagh to be re-
licvcd at the earliest practicable day makes
it necessary for him to select their sue.
cessors before the adjournment of the pres
ent session of the Senate. AS tile president
is thus forced to make an immediate move
ment in the direction of reOrganizing the
cabinet, it is understood that he intends to
make at one time all the changes
that arc contemplated in the heads
of departments. The president has
thus far managed to keep his hands from
exposure. and while many names are freely
spoken of in connection with cabinet posi-.
tions, no one can state positively the name
of q single individual who has been Sc.
lccted by tho president. From converse
tions with those who are known to bear
close relations with the president and to
enjoy his confidence, it is believed that ex-
Senators Freylinghausen, of New Jersey,
and Howe of Wisconsin, and Judge Fol-
ger OF, New York, are now on the cabinet
slate, and that ex-senator Sargent, of Cali
fornia, and Gen. Longstreet, of Georgia,
are likely to be added to the list. MIR.
Frelinghuysen is named for the State De-
partment, Mr.. Howe for the Depart
ment of Justice, Mr.. Sargent for the
Interior, Judge Folger for the Treasury,
and Gen. Longstreet for the Navy. The
same authority retains Mr.. Lincoln in the
War Department and Mr.. James tempo
rarily in the Postofficc Department. Judge
Folger, it is said, has received from the
president the tender of tho treasury de-
partmcnt and is now holding it under ad-
visement, the understanding being that he
will make known his decision before
Saturday next. General Lonsstreet is
strongly urged as the representative
for the south, there being no division
among prominent southern Southern Re-
pu5licans as to his appointment. If Gen.
Longstreet should not be selected, it is
likely that Ex-Governor Davis, of Texas,
will be the Southern representative in the
cabinet. Gov. Davis was Union man
during the wax. Earnest efforts are be-
ing made to have Secretary Hunt retained
but these efforts will not succeed. Mr..
Lincoln is regarded as the only member
of the present cabinet selected for reten.
ton by President Arthur. Mr.. James
will remain, at the solicitation of the pres
ident, until the reforms that he began in
the post office department are carried out
when he will retire.

Democratic Senators to oppose Dudley.

A Washington special dispatch says
Ex-senator Macdonald, of Indiana. is
here working against the confirmation of
ex Marshal Dudley, Of Indiana, as COM
missioner of pensions. The charges re-
late to Dudley's official management of
tho presidential campaign, in which it is
said he filled the state with political
workers bearing commissions as deputy
marshals. Over 500 of these creatures
wereet the polls in indianapolis alone, and
if reports are to be believed they earned
their money. The general charge under
which are gathered all the corroborative
Incidents is that Dudley prostituted his
Office for partisan purposes. The nomina-
tion has been tabled and will not bc cor
sidered until the return of Senator Noor-
hees, who is expected on Saturday.
