THE REVENUE SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Internal
Revenue Collector who is not wheedled or
worried into appointing more stOrekeepers
than are required in his District is an Off
cial rarely found. Probably all such have
been displaced, at any rate halt has been
called in the matter OF appointing these
useless storekeepers, and resolve
has been made in the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau 10 take no fur
ther action on recommendations from col
siectors so long as there are storekeepers
holding appointments who are not agslgned
to duty. Chief Clerk Clark, OF the later
nal Revenue Bureau, stated to-day that a
half crop of corn in Kentucky would re-
duce the necessity for storeheepers in that
State, though the recommendations
keep ON coming. In North Carolina

Special Dispatch to the Sunday Register.
LOUISVILLE, October 2S.-Still the divorces
cfntnue to pour into the Chancery Curt
and almost every day brings from one to q
half dozen complaints of conjugal infeli-
city. 1t is a matter of record that the
number of divorce suits filed during the
past few months is nearly one
tenth of the number of marriage Ii
cense issued, fact on which the youth
who contemplstes matrimony might pom
der. 1t is, however. also noticeable fact
that very large proportion OF these dl.
vorce cases come from the middle and
lower ranks of society. Yesterday brought
three applications for legal severance OF
The Matrimonial Bond;
two from disconsolate husbands and one
from disaffected wife.
The first was that of David Kohn, who
complains that Minnie. the wife to whom
he was married in Cincinnati on July
IL, 1870, was not treating him in
a way calculated to increase his
love. He says that she's been guilty OF cru
ely assaulting and beating him, and that
his life is in danger All the evidences OF
an outrageous temper have been manifest
ed by ner, and he is longer afraid to live in
her company. The couple have three chill
dren, for whose custody he.prays as well as
q divorce.
Clinton Wiugate is another who finds
that the estate of Cplebs is not what 1t was
relrt sented TO be. In May, 1876, he uni
ted his fortunes TO Lizzie Wingate, and
soon lived to repent of his bargain.
Whilst. as he AYERS, he was always
faithful TO his ar'iage VOWS, she
was Just the opposite. He says
that in less than six months after the knot
was tied she began 10 show by her actions
that there was no resemblance between her
and Cnsar's wife, and that afterward her
conduct became so highly improper as TO
leave no room TO doubt her unchastity:
Four years sgo she abandoned him and
left for other fields and pasture green, and
since that time he has heard nothing oil
her.
Mary, the wife of Henry Hotopp, we'll
known saloon keeper on Market and Shell
by streets, westalso complainant yester.
day. She says that she and her husband
linked their lives in June, lS2, and that
Two Children Have Been Born

accuses her husband of having been very
cruel, and says that his ill-treatment has
been increasing SO Of late that she can

quent attempts on her life, and that she fears
some great bodily harm, if not death itself,
should she longer remain with him. H.
topp is the owner of property in the vicin-
i'y OF his saloon amounting to about SlO,-
COO, and this, she alleges, he will fraudu-
lently dispose of unless prevented by the
court. She asks an injunction to prevent
his either making way with his property
or molesring her during the pendency OF
the action, The custody of the children and
suitable alinlony.

WASHINGTON, October 2S.--A dispatch
from Connellsyille. Pa. has the following
interesting information: Roberto. Blaine,
brother of James &. Blaine, vas in town
last night and submitted to an interview
on matters political, and his distinguished
brother in particular.
Your brother will not be able to fulfill
bis engagement with Chairman Cooper for
four spe eches in Pennsylvania this cam
IaiPn?" suggested the reporter.
My brother never made any such en-
gapement. He considered ii in bad taste
for him to interfere in this contest. Don
Cameron and his followers in this State
have never done anything TO advance his
interests or aspirations. II James would
come into Pennsylvania on stamping
tour, let me tell yOn that he would not ad-
vOcate the cause of Beaver. / feel positive
that he would advocate the Indepen-
dent cause; as you doubtless know
Don Cameron was instrumental
in slaughtering the presidential
aspirations Of my brother, both in 1876 and
1870. While there are exceptions taken as
a whole the supporters of Stewart are old
friends of James and the Beaver mems
enemies. Why should he enlist in q strug-
gle against his friendsT'
"Is YOUR brother then not as we'll as re-
ported?'

of malsrial fever. Ii he RECEIVERS sufficiently
he will make one speech in the State OF

HOPEFUL SIGNS FOR PROTECTION.
a sound Protective Policy Growing In
the south which viii Benefit All Our
Industries.
Philadelphia TiEses.


1t is one of the most hopeful signs for the
maintenance of The protective policy, that
all the Democratic candidates for Congress
in Pennsylvania, with a single exception,
have declared distinctly in favor Of protec-
tion, and among them are number of the
ablest and most influential leaders of the
party. And what is true in Pennsylvania is
also true in New Jersey and Ohio, where free
trade Democrats are exception to the rule,
as protection Republicans are exceptions
10 the rule in New York city and the strong
Republican States of the West.
The growth Of sentiment in favor OF iu-
diCiOuS protection 10 all our industries, is
more rapid to-day than ut any time during
the last twenty years. While the Demo-
Gratis of our great manufacturing States OF
the NOrlh are strongly drifting into the
support of protection, the South is deyel-
Cping q healthy change in favor OF diVersl-
fed industry and asOund protective policy.
Under slavery the South cared little for
protection: but the more intelligent and
progressive SOutherners now see that the
manufacture OF their own raw materials In
the South, snd the development of their
boundless iron and coal, would multiply
prosperity on every side; and as soon as
they can be rid of the spectre of solid
North sgainst the South, there will be
revolution in the South on industrial is
sues.
The safety of protection is no longer a
question of party; it is question OF unit
ing the North and South for the develop
ment of their great natural resources, and
as soon aS the North shall break up politi-
Cally, the South will break from her old
party mOorings. The color line in the
South is simply an issue OF safety for
property; and whenever there shall be no
united North to menace the South with the
scourge of carpet .baggers or the worse Md
homes and Chalmerses, there will be gen.
eral political revolution in the South on
the issue of protection, with tie old and
long latent Whig sentiment in the lead.

safety to protection in breaking up Stall
