French and Mason had an appointment to
meet Governor Cornell Saturday, but their
interview was postponed until yesterday
evening, when they had long conference
with the Governor in relation to the street
cleaning bureau and the bill now pending in
the Legislature to give.the Mayor charge of
cleaning the streets. Commissioner French
also saw Vice-President Arthur yesterday on
the same subject, but with those exceptions
no conference of any kind was held. The
meeting of SO many prominent Republicans
in the city was purely accidental.
Mahone's Political Prospects In Virginia.
NV YORK. April 4th-A. M.-Congress-
man Jorgensen of Virginia was asked by. a
the Readjusters would elect United States
Senator to succeed Senator Johnston. In
discussing the situation at length Jorgensen,
who is a Republican, said the Readjusters
will not be able to carry the State or the
next Legislature without the united and en-
thusiastic support of the Republican party
In Virginia, for the reason that General Ma
hone, by his course in the Senate, has alien
ated thousands of Democratic Readjusters.
He probably in the next State election will
be able to control $4,000 or 10000 of that
vote, which, with the united support of the
Republicans, would give him the State and
a
Johnston. While the Republicans sympa-
thize with Malone in his liberal sentiments,
as expressed in the Senate, yet their past
experience of him, and the frequency
with which he can change front, leads them
to distrust him unless they have trustworthy
assurances from him that he will act so as
not to disintegrate their organization, and
leave them again where they were in 1879,
when, through bis influence and money, Gil
bert ). Walker was nominated by the boilers
from the Republican Convention. The Adj
ministration and Republican Senators, in
giving General Malone support and counte-
nance, as they have done, have caused such
divisions In the Republican ranks in Vir-
ginia that it will be difficult to hold the rank
and file together for a straight ticket. Ii
Malone is as wise as great political leader
should be, he will take such a course as will
win the united support of the Republicans of
Virginia, without which he is doomed to
failure. The smallness of the vote will prove
how much weakened he has become through
his assaults upon the Bourbon Democrats.
If he should boldly and openly proclaim him
self Republican the result would be new
departure in the South, and the building up
of a new party, of which he would be the ac-
knowledged leader, the only trouble being
the debt question.
The Republican Party.
NEW YORK, April 4th-A, M.-Following
is one of the T5'ibune's editorial squibs: The
Republican party is in the condition of the
boarding. school boys who were asked by the
teacher what they we're willing TO give up
during Lent, when one of the little fellows
promptly answered HASH" If the Re-
publicans are asked what sacrifice they are
willing to make in order that the public
business may 90 on, not one but million
voices will answer, George Gorham."

estate as a State Institution, nor shall any
"grant or donation of property ever he
"made thereto by the State; provided,
"that notwithstanding anything contained
Sin this or any other section of the Consti-
"tution, the Legislature shall have power
to grant aid to institutions conducted for
s'the support and maintenance of minor
orphans, or half orphans, or abandoned
children, or aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances aid to be granted by a
uniform rule, and proportional to the
number of inmates of each respective in
stitution." This provision clearly al
lows the Legislature in its regular session
to provide for the support OF orphans. But
the question is whether under the terms of
the Governors proclamation, which ex-
pressly prohibits appropriations for any in
stitution not "under the exclusive manage
'ment and control of the State, it will be
possible to make such appropriation.
We understand that Governor Perkins
himself regards the language of the procla-
ton as imposing no restraint upon legisla-
tive action in the premises. There can be
no doubt that it would be a serious misfor-
tune if the orphans of the State failed
through any misapprehension to receive
their usual aid from the Treasury. But the
language of the Governors proclamation
appears to be very plain, and though the
constitutional provision is more than or
dinarily confused and entangled, it is diff.
cult to see how the obstacle which has
been Internationally placed in the way of
all assistance to the orphans, can be re-
moved. 1t has been suggested that the
first proviso of Section %, Article (, of the
Constitution, may be so interpreted as to
clear the ground but unfortunately it is
scarcely possible to make it appear that the
orphan asylums are capable of being re-
garded as institutions under the exclu-
"sive control and management of the
'' State. " For though the Legislature
may be empowered to make appropriation
for the orphans by virtue of the constitu-
tional exception, at its regular sessions, it
does not follow that the constitutional
exception will enable it to disregard the
clear and specific terms of the Governor
proclamation. If it could do so in this
case it could do SO in other cases, and
then the constitutional provision giving
the Executive authority to limit the legis-
lation of the extra session, could be multi
fed. In short the difficulty appears to us
to be serious one.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Isan Francisco Examiner, April 3d.

[San Francisco Examiner April 3d.
That the results of one hundred years
experimenting with air-ships have culmi-
mated in the correct theory for the con.
struction of vessel which can overcome
the attraction of gravitation and float in
the air, is certainly the belief of the incor-
porators of the Aerial Steam Navigation
Company. Upon Wednesday next they
hold business meeting at the Office of the
Ne,cs Letter, the senior proprietor of which
is the inventor of the machine which has
inspired this confidence. The details of its
construction are not yet made known, but
it is known that it will be cylindrical in
form, with long, sharp prov and an i'm.
mense fan wheel, one whirl of which will
turn the vessel completely around, the pro-
pelling power to be manual labor. As the
same shaped vessel has been tried number
less times and found perfect in everything,
except that it would not float, something
new is expected in the mechanism of this
air-ship. It is proposed to name the first
vessel Leland Stanford, that gentleman be-
ing reported as believing in the scheme.
Edward Jackson is the Secretary of the
company, and Augustus LAYER is the con-
sulting engineer. The owners of the
shares are pledged not to sell at less than
500 per share for six months.

mAHoNR AND VOORHEES,.

The discreditablc Senate situation con-
tinues to bring forth fruits after its kind.
From day TO day the Generalization has
proceeded steadily, until the country is
disguised by bear;garden scenes, resur-
rections of all the foulest political jobs,
episodes of abuse and Observation-Disclosures
ton, and in short anything and every
thing but decent and statesmanlike con-
duct. The last quarrel, between Senators
Malone and voorhees,, was of a piece
with the rest. 1t is not az all necessary to
discuss it in detail for it was in no par
ticular above the plane Of pot-bouse row.
There WAS indeed an almost grotesque
flavor Of the old time of "chivalry ="
about its conclusion, and some excitable
people even predicted that the Senators
would fight duel Bat there appears
to be no danger Of that consum-
nation being reached Ia these days
politicians viii stand a good deal of
vituperation with comparative philosophy,
and it is certainly better so than that they
should resort to murder as means of vim
dication. The whole Malone business
however is productive of nothing but mis-
chief II has long been apparent that the
Republican Senators had made fatal
blunder in trafiicking with the Virginia
Repudiator and turncoat. Had their pur-
pose been IN any way respectable one the
country might not have viewed the pro-
ceeding so severely, but when it is consid.
cred that all this humiliation and degrade
ton has been incurred for the sake of
fixing an indelible insult upon the Repub.
loan party of California, not to speak of
the result upon the national party Of
putting such man as Gorham in 4 post Of
honor and responsibility, the whole incl
dent seems fatuous and perverse in the
extreme. No caucus win reconcile Cali
fornia 20 any such proceeding, and this the
Washington politicians will be made TO
realize hereafter.

The sagacity of the persons who are try
ing to get the Drainage Act declared I'M
constitutional does not keep pace with
their activity. Thus far they have done
nothing but blunder in their legal pro.
ceedings On Saturday the Supreme
Court, evidently with very great re-
luctance, RETAINED from dismissing their
petition on the spot but did not hesitate
to make it apparent that the mind of the
Court was made up on the improperly of
the recourse sought. The Judges in fact
intimated their desire to dismiss the pro.
ceedings then and there. and one of them
administered a sharp rebuke to the coun-
sci for the petitioners for asking the Court
to allow them license which they had no
right whatever to demand or expect. The
absurdlty and impotence of their procedure
indeed fitly match the blind irrationality
of this whole assault upon the Drainage
Act. They have actually asked the Su.
preme Court to issue mandsmus COM
pellipg the State treasurer to do what no
law in existence empowers him to do f.; in
effect commanding him to violate the law
he is under heavy bonds to administer
faithfully. This is the second blunder of
the petitioners. They began b. approach
ing the Court after so fantastic fashion
that the moment the bearing OF the case
came on they found themselves without
any standing grongd, and they were obliged
to beg for more time. and then to change
the whole plan of their attack. The sec.
ond plan, however. is even more prepos-
ferrous than the frat, and we are not sur
prised that the Supreme Court should have
become impatient at such triaing,

of the members named Dianons, with a sub
sistence officer named Polequin and 81 men,
escaped but were subsequently overtaken by
another tribe, who declared they had no
share in the massacre. The tribe offered the
fugitives some dates, but the fruit was poi
soned and Dianons and % men died after
partaking of it. Polequin, with 30 men,
continued the retreat, but were surrounded
by hostile tribes. Polequin then dispatched
the aforementioned four natives to Onargla.
On their arrival succor was Immediately dis

Little hope, however, is entertained of their
relief, aud when the messengers left they were
closely beset and lily supplied with food and
ammunition.
