POSTMASTER GENERAL HOWE.
The New Cabinet OfleeT Defines His
Political Status.

Chicago Special to the N Y. Herald, 81.
Postmaster General Howe was interviewed
In this city to day as he passed through on
his way to Washington, as follows:
"Have you determined upon any policy by
which you will be guided in the administra-
tion Of the Post Officer" the reporter asked.
81 have not yet thought about details at
all. | have determined as a fundamental
principle to make the postal service as
efficient as possible. 1t shall be my aim not
to spend more money than is appropriated
for the use OF my department. With the
minuti@ of my v ork Ihave no acquaintance.
While was in the Senate the Postal Depart
ment Committee was one of the few impor-
tant committees on which did not serve"
Are you familiar with the history of the
star route prosecutions"
"Not at all. l have paid no attention to
the reports of the cases a3 they have run
through the papers,"
Glow is your appointment regarded IN
Wisconsin-as that of a stalwart?"
81 am disposed to think It is regarded as
that Of a Republican. The stalwart and
anti-stalwart lines were not drawn in Wis
consin as they seem to have been In other
States. II to be a stalwsrt means to be a
steady and consistent Republican, then l
am stalwart. If # means, further,
that | was Grant man, then l
am stalwart still; for l was for Grant; but
| am q Republican because l believe that
party will give the country the best govern
ment In all departments. When l find a
party that l think will do better then /
will join it. | have not asked for this ap-
pointment, and while the negotiations were
going on | was in the far West Yet |
know that Representatives in Wisconsin
who were as good friends as Blaine and
Garfield had there or elsewhere asked
President Arthur to give me place in the
Cabinet. Now that l have been appointed,
all that remains to be said is that l have my
lesson to learn, and all l ask is that the peo-
pie will, before passing Judgment upon me,
wait until they see whether / am disposed
to learn it,"
ITO what extent will the heads of bureaus
appointed under Hayes and Garfield be dis
turbed? VIII II be your policy to have none
but stalwsrts on guard?'
81 don't calculate upon interfering with
any OF the employees Of my department ex-
cept in the public interest. In Republican
ism do not recognize any such distinction
as stalwart and anti-stalWart. The question
with me will be, Is the head Of bureau
resolutely and efficiently dischsrglng the
duties Of his office? If he is then he ts the
man for my money. II be should not be
stalwartism will not save him."
when will you enter upon your duies9"
"Early next week"
"Will you maintain q private establish
ment during the season in WashingtonS"
"My family consists solely of two mar
ried daughters. While in the Senate l
made my home with one of them-Mrs.

venient to establish myself with her while l

A BALLOON AT SEA.
Graphic Description OF the Flight
of the Saladin With a Member of
Parli0ment.
PdH MnH Gnnerte


The government balloon salaIip. which
ascended from Bath on Saturday, has been
carried out to sea and serious apprehen-
sions are entertained for the safety of Mr.
Walter Powell, member of Parliament. who
was with 1t. The balloon was in charge
of Captain Tampiar, R. E., who was
accompanied by Mr.. Powell and Mr.
Gardner, son Of the late member for Chel-
tenham. 1t ascended at Bath about MID
day, aud, crossing over Somerset to Exc
ter, proceeded to the neighborhood of
B idpOrt, Dorset. The @ronauts continued
their course till near Eype, about a mile
west OF Bridport and within half mile Of
the sea, when, about five O'Clock, finding
they were rapidly drifting seaward, tne7 at,
tempted to descend. The balloon came
down with great rapidity, and struck the
ground with much violence, Mr.. Gardner
and Captain Templar were both thrown out
Of the car, the former sustaining fracture
OF the leg and the latter being cut and
bruised. Mr.. Powell was left In
the car. Captain Templar retained
his hoid OF the valve line,
which he found was being pulled through
his hands. He called to Mr.. Powell. who
was standing in the car, to come down the
line, but in a few seconds It was torn
through his hands and the balloon rose
rapidly and drifted out to sea. A spectator
VINO witnessed the occurrence saws that
during the few minutes that he remained
visible Mr.. Powell with his arms above his
head, appeared to be working the ropes.
Darkness speedily came on, and the balloon
was lost to view; but some witnesses affirm
that they saw 1t strike the water about two
miles from the shore.
Boats Immediately put off from Bridport
and steamer was promptly dispatched
from Weymouth, but no trace of the bal
loon or of Mr.. Powell was found. The
search has been actively continued each
day, with no more successful result, The
Admiralty and the Meteorological Depart
ment have also instituted inquiries, but no
tidiDgs Of the missing eronaut have been
received. 1t was at first thought that the
balloon might have descended in the
Channel Islands or on the French
coast, but such has not proved TO
be the case, and almost the only
hope now remaining is that Mr.. Powell
may have been rescued by an outward
bound vessel. His relatives have offered a
reward of e200 for the recovery of the hon
orable member or bis body, 9l00 to the first
finder of the missing balloon or any portion
of it, and ESQ for any trustworthy informa-
tion respecting the balloon or its occupant.
Mr.. Pow ell, who sits In the Conservative In
terest for Malmesbury, has for years past
been an enthusiastic @ronaut, and has made
numerous sscents, sometimes crossing St.
Georges Channel to Ireland, and, again 90
ing over to France.

fense in the Vance case was continued to-
day. Anne johnson, colored, testified that
she was at Vance's on the evening Of the
shooting. Two men Of the posse captured
her as she attempted to escape. They told
her they intended killing old Ed. Vance.

ing around with q stick. He pushed
the stick between the witness
body and arm. The witness only
laughed. Barnett was making Julius Jack
son curse other negroes. He made Julius
curse one of the crowd of negroes so hard
that the negroes all turned white as ashes.
He saw Barnett get the stick. Did not
know why Barnett hit Gillespie. Didn't
see Gillespie do anything.
Allen Moffet colOred, testified that he
was at Marion. He was not registered and
could not vote. Alexander Harvey told
witness he could vote, II he want
ed to. Witness told him his name
was not on the book. Harvey said
"God - you, you had better be getting
away from here, then.' at the same time
showing q pistol in his pocket. Witness

HIS FoNDEsT HoPE.-Not few Dem
ocratic Congressman, representing con-
stituencies at the West and South, are
Just now in town, and the report is that
a consultation of some kind is on the
tapis, with view to concert of action
at Washington, with reference to the
tariff and other questions upon which
the party is just now at rather loose
ends. The reasoning of outsiders is,
that it must be business of unusual i'm
portance which brings them on here dur
ing the holidays, when most people pre-
fer being at their own homes. For the
moment, however, what excites them
most is a published letter from Cassius
NJ. Clay, urging the denomination of
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden as the Democratic
candidate for the next Presidency He
says: Montgomery Blair is right when
he says that Tilden should have been
our candidate in 1880, and again should
be in 1884" There is something back
of this, depend upon it. which will be
developed before long.-N. + Cores

Only plants and flowers were used, and
these in moderation. Even Guiteau had a

GARFIELD'S TOMB
Still Guarded by Troops ana Daily
Covered with Fresh Flowers.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


The following extract from letter
written by lady of this city in Cleve-
land, in reference to the resting place of
our martYred President, will Ee read
with interest:
$50 long time has elapsed since the
obsequies that many strangers visiting
Cleveland are surprised to learn that 8
detachment of United States infantry are
still detailed to watch the vault wherein
lie the remains of our honored Presi-
dent. Night and day can be heard the
measured tramp, tramp of the sentry on
duty, and it is intended to continue this
watchfulness until the body is deposited
in the ground. Through the grated
door of the vault can be seen the ele.
CANT casket given by the Masonic breth.
rem. Covered with beautiful flowers,
kept fresh by loving hands, it is still
visited daily by hundreds of people,
many of whom eagerly seek the cast-off
blossoms as mementoes. Near the vault
is the shelter-house, and on the other
side OF the lake the white tents of the
soldiers are pitched. At the base of the
hill upon which the monument is to be
placed, glass house is erected, inelos-
ing the funeral car, still trimmed with
immortelles, and the tTappings of woe
An aged couple, who had been gazing
with tear-dimmed eyes upon the casket,
approached the guard and asked If they
might not be permitted to have
few flowers from of the
coffin. He told them that
he could not open the vault. They
were much disappointed, and said that
they were from the distant South, had
always been rebels. but that the death OF
Garfield had changed their feelings, and
that they had journeyed far for the privi-
lege of standing by his tomb. Just then
the ladies who were to change the flowers
arrived, and noticing the disappointed
look upon the faces of the aged couple,
asked if they could dc anything for
them. They replied: we crave but q
few blossoms to carry away with US
The ladies picked out a few of the choic
est of the flowers. twined topathef
prettily, and presented them to the plead
ing pair, who departed sadly but pleased
with the memento."
