The Postmaster Generals Trip to New York.
: The object of the visit of the Postmaster Gen.
erai to New York on Saturday is still unknown.
He left here on the 2:3O afternoon train Satur-
day, which was due in New York about 1890 at
night, and returned on the train leaving Jersey
City at IL midnight. He was met in New York
by his son-in-law, Postmaster Pearson. 1t is not
supposed that he made the flying trip solely to
see Postmaster Pearson. One theory is that
Saturday morning previous to the departure of
the train at 2:30 the Cabinet had given up all
hope of the Presidents recovery; that consul
tatiOn was held, and Gen. James was selected as
the agent of the Cabinet to communicate with
Vice President Arthur, it being deemed inexpe-
dient to use the telegraph. In New York it was
arranged that Col. Pearson, the postmaster,
should be the medium of communication be-
tween the Vice President and Gen. James, the
agent of the Cabinet. Just what cOmmunica-
tions may have there passed is, of course not
precisely known, but it is believed cipher was
arranged whereby the Vice President should be
summoned without undue publicity if the worst
should come.

SPECULATION ACTIVE.


NEW YORK, August 29.-The Posts financial
article Gao pm. edition. says: The Stock Ex-
change was opened at IL o'clock, and since then
the share speculation has been fairly active with
the net result an advance Of 4 az per cent, and
including some of the new outside stocks. like
Memphis and Charleston, 3% per cent. The
stOngest stocks, exclusive of the newest fancies
have been the Southwestern, Western Union
Telegraph. Denver and Rio Grande, the coal
shares, and the grangers. The Elevated rail-
road stocks are barely steady, with New York
Elevated rather weak. The trunk line shares
are dull but firm. United States bonds are strong
and higher, the As and 41Ss having advanced
1a each, and the extended SIS Is. The rise in
the two former is due to belief whether well
grounded or not it is impossible to say. that
when the Treasury resumes bond purchases it
will be of these long bonds rather than of those
which bear less interest. State bonds are neg
lected. Railroad bonds are quiet, but generally
higher; the advance being led by the speculative
issues, as was the recent decline. In the loan
market the quotation for call and time loans and
prime mercantile paper is sac per cent, and not
withstanding the favorable character in i'm
portant respects of Saturdays bank statement
an improvement in the condition of the banks is
generally looked for this week. 1t is estimated
that not far from 60 000 600 Of foreign gold are
on the way here. The market for foreign ex-
change is rather inactive, but the working rates
show clear profit In importing gold.

AN ITALIAN GIRL AND A ZULU MARRIED IN

her hard-earned savings u see the dusky object
of her affection. Charley did not repel her at
tentions and they swore to be true To each
other. Mr.. Corsini. however. did not regard
with favor the prospect of marriage between
his daughter and negro. and did everything
i'm his power to dissuade her from carrying
out her intentions Last Wednesday how
ever, the couple eloped. but while on their
way to minister's house they were arrested at
the instance of Anita's father. When the case
came up the following morning i'm the jefferson
market court. the father wanted to have the
girl sent to Blackwels island, but upon her
promises to obey him and leave the Zulu. he
changed his mind and took her home. But she

Rev. r. o. Page No. 31S Union street. Brooklyn,
and asked to be married. The minister con-
sented, but he seems to have made a mistake,
for he addressed all the questions TO Usikali in
stead of to Charley. and then pronounced him
and Anita man and wife. On learning his mis-
take. however he performed another ceremony
between the right parties. The newly married
couple then went to the museum, where the
bridegroom took part in the usual Zulu war

VIEWS.

Ole Simon Cameron is credited with pos
sessing a clear, level head in everything
touching political matters, if he does occa-
sionally get off wrong on the widow ques-
ton. In a recent interview with a press re-
porter at Philadelphia, he gave utterance to
the following opinions, which in view Of his
great political experience, are entitled to con-
sideration
The differences in the party are very Sc
rious. They are really dangerous and l can
not see how they are to be settled. There
has been a lack of cordiality all around, and
a disposition on the part Of the executive to
listen to bad advisers. l believe General
Garfield's best friends felt that he made a
mistake in nominating Robertson. Such be-
ing the case, if he had withdrawn all of the
New York appointments and began anew no
person could have found fault. Other grave
mistakes have been made, and if not correct
ed will destroy the party, for no organization
can live while divided INTO factions, each
having the other by the throat. Mr.. Conk-
ling and the force be represents, l might al
most say commands, cannot be crushed and
the party live" He says there was no neces-
sity in the world for the present trouble; that
the stalwarts have been misunderstood and
misrepresented. "The reformers are clam
oring for patronage, and l don't know a
greedier element than they are. 1t is herald
ed as a fight for purity in politics, and a con.
test against the machine. The stalwarts be-
lieve the offices should be distributed so as to
strengthen the Republican party and not
destroy it, but which is to get the offices is
not now important" He regrets Conkling's
resignation. He does not think Garfield can
neglect harmonizing the party by administer.
ing his trust so as to strengthen the organiza.
ton whose creature and servant he is, and
succeed. Of Grants candidacy in 1884, hi
says "There is no possibility of it. He ii
out of politics and in business, and is, l be
lieve without aspirations or political ambi
tions, except for the continued success of the
Republican party. The talk about his bein!
a candidate in 1884 and the stalwarts havin:
him in training is simply claptrap which ha
been used to drive the President into antago
nism to him and his friends. No! Grant will
not be a candidate in 1884, nor will it max
much difference who is unless there is SOM
way out of the present difficulties. Conklin'
will probably be reelected"

the danger is, or what democrat is in danger,
is not precisely pointed out. As far as any
connection its captien may have with what
follows, the article in question may as we'll

made against Major Maginnis by those inves-

never understood that the Major is or has
been a mail contractor, or that he lis, or
ever had, an interest in mail contracts. I'm
til definite charges are preferred against our
Delegate, we submit the question to our
usually fair-minded contemporary, if it would
not better subserve the ends of justice, and
at the same time preserve the fair name of a
faithful delegate, by withholding its insinua-
tions until such time as it can make them

The New York Truth of a recent date, in
a long article on the Morey letter, thus refers
to the action of the district attorney of New
York, in entering a nolle pros. in the matter
of the Indictment resting against Kenward
Philip and the editor of the above-named
journal In abandoning the libel indict-
ments yesterday District Attorney Rollins
acted simply as a fair prosecuting officer. We
were ready to meet them. We were and are
ready to have every act we did, every word
we wrote, all that we ever said in this matter,
laid bare before the community. The in
dictments, h ,wever, were only for libel, and
a verdict fol libel was all lat could have
been obtained. We serious y doubt if that
would have been possible. But even if it
had been, a verdict convicting us of libel for
having called James A. Garfield a liar would
have been supre nelly ridiculous. The Times
and the Tribune, that called him thief and
perjurer over and over again, would have
laughed at it.
