fidelity to the principles Of the Republican
party, In declaring our Independence
from this caucus nomination, we do not
forget our allegiance to the party whose

result Of our policy is the transfer Of the

SWindling by Mail.

Henry NJ. Rich was committed to Jail
by Commissioner Rogers yesterday in
default of 81 500 bail, on the charge of
using the mails for unlawful purposes.
VIM. T. Henderson, post office special
agent, testified that District Attorney
Stirling called his attention to an adver-
tisement In several newspapers and jour
mails published in New York headed
''For Ladies Ouly," naming several arti-
cles, among them IAN exterminator,
and others with names less decent, to be
sent for ten cents each to the address of
III, Baltimore post office" The wit
ness Henderson sent thirty cents to the
address, and received some printed bal
lads of odd and comical rhymes and a
recipe for exterminatiDg reaches, all
costing about two cents. Mr.. Stirling
received recently q letter from Odessa,
Delaware, complaining Of the matter,
and Rich was arrested. Rich stated
before the commissioner that he was an
advertising agent. He exhibited num-
Der of pamphlets entitled, THE Little
Fascinator," Loves Telegraph" 1.-The
Flirt on the Floral Language of Love, +"
''WoOing and Winning, or the Success
ful Lover" He claimed that the cost
of advertising and postage increased his
expenses beyond the original cost Of the
articles, but admitted that hehad made
a profit in the business, and had carried
it on successfully for four or five years.
Commissioner Rogers said the fictitious
name used in disposing of the trash in
dicated the business was not legitimate
Can the mails be used for purposes of
fraud ogiye nothing for somethiDgi
He was satisfied the act of Congress was
intended for just such cases, and he
would hold the defendant in 81, 500 bail

Washington Special to the Cincinnati Com.
nercidl.
Yesterday and to-day the friends of
Matthews have been looking very blue.
An intimate friend of Senator Pendleton
was asked to-day how he stood. His re-
ply was: "The Senator will vote for
confirmation If the case is brought
squarely before the Senate, but he
will not lose any perspiration in
trying to get others to vote the
same way" 1t is not believed that Pen.
dleton is exerting himself in the least in
favor of Matthews, while Thurman, who
is Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
will exert himself to keep the nomina-
ton from being favorably reported. In
this matter it cannot be learned that any
Senator is taking as active steps in be-
half of this nomination as others are
against it.
An Ohio Republican member Of Con-
gress said to-day that the prospect of
the confirmation Of Stanley Matthews
looked very dubious. II the case could
be gotten squarely before the Senate he
would be confirmed, but to get it out of
the Judiciary Committee with a favor
able report seems now q difficult task.
With Thurman, Davis, Conkling and
Garland against him, favorable report
seems almost improbable.
A prominent Democratic Senator is
reported as saying that 1t is time we
made stand against filing all the high
high Federal offices from Ohio, and we
had as we'll draw the line on Matthews
as anybody" The nomination of Major
Swain. of Ohio, to be Judge Advocate
General, is involved to some extent.
Had the name of Matthews been sent in
when that of Judge Woods was, he
would undoubtedly have been confirmed.
There could be no worse time for it in
the last four years than now.

turned the fire, and 3 perfect fusilade was

The Traflc In GIrIs at castle Garden.

Examination was had on Friday IN
New York before Justice Flammer of
Miss r. Johnson, charged with the alb.
duction Of young Swedish girls from
Castle Garden for immoral purposes.
The testimony was to the effect that the
woman had made a contract with an
agent at Copenhagen to receive by every
steamer two or three girls, for whom she
was to pay certain sum. The arrest
was made on complaint of Sophia and
Helga Wilson, whom she herself
brought over on the steamer,
having received from each a docu-
ment promising to serve her for six
months in consideration Of having their
passage paid and sum of ten kroner
Danish money. This document was
produced in court. Justice Flammer,
after hearing evidence, decided that he
had no jurisdiction, and advised that the
prisoner should be taken before the
United States Commissioner. Miss John
son was taken before Commissioner
Shields in the United States Court,
where, on the United States statute
which forbids the importation of girls
for immoral purposes, she was held in
81, 500 bail for examination.
