THE following suggestive incident hap
pened at ono of the hotel news stands in
this city last evening.
A gentleman walked up and inquired
for CRITIC.
CRITICS all sold, but I've got plenty Of
Stars" said the newsdealer.
~ don't want the Ereaing Yesterday"
said the would-bc purchaser, ~ want the
EVENING TO-DAY"
A truer and apter comparison of the two
evening papers of this city could not bo
made. The star gets left SO often on import
ant news, and publishes so much of the
news going on tho day after its occurrence,
that 1t has gained the unenviablo title ofthe
Erening Yesterday, that title indicating the
kind of "news" mostly found in its siclSly
and sleepy columns. THE CRITIC, on the
other hand, by its energy in gathering
news and its piquant way of serving it up,
has gained the proud and enviable distinc-
tion of being commonly spoken of, in con.
tradistinction to the star (Erening Yestcr
day, as THE EVENING TODAY.
We will doubtless be pardoned for recall
ing some few, out of many, instances
where We have published important local
news full day ahead of our alleged rival:
The capture of Bigelow.
The Pelz.Meem scandal.
The condition Of Senator Hill during the
past two days.
Comptroller Lawrence's decision in regard
to administrators in the District.
The report of tie Blank Agency.
The brutal fight between dog and cat,
conducted by alleged men, at Giesboro on
last Sunday.
The fight between Heath, of the Republic,
and Hackman, Of the Chronicle.
The proposed glovefght between Collins
and Donnelly.
The appointments of James G.. Winter.
smith and Charles Dietrich to positions
under the Sergeant alarms of the Senate.
The trouble on the Tallapoosa.
We might go on indefinitely with these
instances of where we scooped our dull and
vicious rival.
Hardly less important than publishing
the news on the day Of its occurrence is
publishing it correctly. The Evening Ycs,er-
day is so stupid that when it gets hold of
piece of news requiring some intelligence
to print properly and intelligibly,
it invariably botches it. An in
stance in point is its copying
from Sunday paper a list of promotions
in the Ordnance Bureau. The stupid
Erening Yesterday didn't have sense enough
to verify the list but reprinted it with all
its errors. At the request of the clerks
of the bureau, THE EVENING TODAY pub
lished the list as it should be.
AS Crosby Noise will probably have an
other fit of cholera infdntum after reading
this, we will let up on him little and
stop right here.

A Card from Nat Mckay.
N fbs EliifO1 0f me EreD,nu Irific.
sreRtnq Critic:

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.
read in your Issue OF Saturday an article
giving in substance as the language OF Ker,
the attorney in the Star. Route cases: "In re-
gard TO my case and that of Mcclure, OF tho
Philadelphia Times, that had been openly
charged with stealing navy-yard, and had sat
In court advising the (Star.Route) defendants,
circulating stories about him, that he, Ker,
was a bad man, and denounced me at some
length"
beg leave to say that never had anything
TO do with tho "purchase" or sale OF tho Phila-
delphia Navy-Yard; that before jury OF my
countrymen In Philadelphia the question OF
whether had anything to do with the pur-
chase OF tho navy.yard or had attempted to
swindle or had swindled the Government or
any individual was tried, and Mr.. Mcclure
tried to make the charge good, but failed.
Mr.. Mcclure employed the present Attorney
General OF tho United States on hiSside, but
that honorable counsel, Reverdy Johnson, ia
the KuKlux cases, when no found the true
character OF the attack that was being made
upon me by Mr.. Mcclure Co., abandoned tho
case. This fact was known to Mr.. Ker at tho
time 1t occurred. He knew had eleven OF the
twelve 1urymen, although he assisted the
other side and disregarded his oath Of Office.
Mr.. Ker was assistant district attorney In
Philadelphia at the time OF this trial, and 1t
was tho Official duty OF that onlcer to take
charge of my side OF the case, but had to en-.
ploy special counsel, and because neither my
counsel nor myself had any confidence IN his
ability or integrity, we treated him as tho eur
he now shows himself to be-unworthy OF be.
lief.
went into the courtroom twice while was
in Washington to hear Colonel Ingersoll
speak; have only slight acquaintance with
one OF the defendants; upon tho accident OF
these two visits, and without any other foun-
dation in fact, this her goes out OF the record
TO slur me. There is no law to punish an at.
torney for such cowardly assaults, however
smalicious. You will therefore give notice to
Mr.. Ker that will feel myself called upon to
take other means OF redress In his case, and
deal with him as q cur.
Mr.. ker kno,us u Is not true that went up be.
hind Mcclure and pulled his nose, and then
drew cowhide and whipped him with II.
But Mr.. Ker is n liar-and q malicious, cow
ardly liar-when he takes this occasion to say
about me, under cover OF his privilege, what
he knows TO be false and what he could not bo
hired TO say TO me In the street.
What l have already stated TO his friend /
will say to him In print that the United States
is employing cheap counsel when they employ
him. He could not earn ten dollars per day In
Philadelphia. Mr.. Ker must remember that
he is In q court OF the United States aud not
the Criminal Court OF Philadelphia, whero he
he has been accustomed TO yllify tho criminals,
murderers, etc., from the slums OF the city.

A Mem Discrimination.

TO the Editor OF The EpeRtnQ Critic:
THE CRITIC is the friend of the poor ana the
oppressed, hence this communication upon
Colonel Webster's recent,order prohibiting the
colored messengers from riding on the eleva-
tors in the Treasury Department and COM
polling them TO carry heavy bundles Of books,
papers, etc., from the basement TO the top OF
the building during this extreme hot weather.
How would Colonel Webster like to be placed
in the position which either his prejudice or
desire 10 exercise his little brief authority has
placed these colored messengers? He would
not dare TO Issue such an order against tho
clerks IN the Treasury Department, and he
knows II. The clerks in tho Treasury Depart
ment arc hard.worked set, with few eXcep
tions. They hardly have time to step across
their respective rooms TO get drink OF water
and they tap tho boil for the messenger TO per-
form that service for them. Mr.. Editor, can
not see the necessity OF this order, can your
thing" and, like bravo and patriotic Repub.
lican reformer OF the Gawgewllliamcurtls
stamp, he begins his operations on a class OF
Government employees who are too poor and
have too much at stake TO oppose his methods.
The negro has been, and is, TO large extent,
the butt OF tho Republican party he Is It's play
thing, its property, and has no rights which 1t
Is bound 70 respect. Colonel Webster ought TO,
by all means, revoke that order, because It's an
advantage over the hardest worked and poor
est paid OF Government employees, and because
It's small thing for a big man 10 do. .am
quite sure that Colonel Webster Will readily
SEQ the necessity Of reversing his dcta 10 the
plehs, and 1t romans for us ali 10 see whether
1t Will be done. Selah.

Reed started to go, when Guiteau

bold hand, wrote the following
and handed it to Reed, who came
from the cell deeply affected by the
interview:

minutes longer with the prisoner,
but was unable to turn his thoughts
away from the consideration of his

retired from the cell.
Mrs. Scoville and her little
daughter and John W. Guiteau were
then admitted. Their interview
with the prisoner lasted fifteen min
ltes, the warden and deputy being
present. Guiteau was at first much |
excited, and roundly abused the |
President and "those wretches," as
ne termed them, who had |
bounded him to the scaffold; and |

niger at General Croker and his
ieputy, "yOu will be both sent to
