THAT BABY OF NIBLOS.

The Mother Denies That 1t Is . Wait.
The deeper the investigation into the
case of the baby taken from the almshOusa
on the I'd of March last by Ida NiblO, Of
No. LOG Van HOra street, Philadelphia,
the moro mysterious does the affair be-
come. Mrs. Niblo was seen by . reporter
at the residence Of her mother, Mrs. D. s.
Whealey, of the st. Clair house, at Attain
tic City. At tho time she was nursing q
fragile piece Of humanity, which she said
was her child. The mother said: ''The
infant now hold in my arms is my own,
and no one dares say that it came from the
almshOuso. 1t was born ON the I'd Of
March, at halt. past 3 o'clock in the after
noon, after had returned home from \

Mrs. NiblO was very determined in her
reiteratiOn of tho statement that the baby
was born on March 3, and her mother
bore her out to the effect that upon the
day in question she had received q tele-
gram from tho daug her stating that tho
little stranger had arrived. The wife de-
clared that she would not give up the in
FAINT for the world, and the only explanation
she could offer of a woman of her name
and address having obtained baby from
the almshouse upon that same day was
that some one who desired to trick hus-
band had used her name and misrepre-
sented her. As she had no enemies whom
she could call to mind it vas impossible
for her to point with suspicion to any one.
She also said that the story had gained
currency in the neighborhood few days
after her illness that tho baby was not
hers, and that an undertaken named Buell.

Ina published biography Of Beaver,
which is to be circulated by the Repub-

when the proposition was made ut Chi
cago to nominate him for vice president
he " lerenptorily declined" So he did,
but it. was not until after Don Cameron
had turned to him and said " Jim, you
don't wan: this" and had turned to the
delegates and said to them /: Boys,
we'll 20 hack u Pennsylvania and make
Jim governor. This is history. In
1873 /" Jim I" had wanted to be governor.
Cameron was not fur him." He had
not been fur " Cameron. After he
had stood up and gone down with the

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY az. lse2.
The LHdependents.

The Independent Republicans show
very glad to get away from the
propositions for reunion with the regu-
lar branch. They were great embar-
to them, because they do not
want union on any terms with Mr..
Cameron's party, which will leave a
particle of political life in Mr.. Cameron.
They are cunning for his scalp and moth
ing else. The proposition to them for q
new convention, selected in the way they
desired, was one which was certainly so
fair that, if their prime object had been
Republican unity, they would have
gladly accepted it. When they decline
it they make it transparently plain that
they do not want to support a party
which is led by those who control the
Republican organization of Pennsylva-
mia today. They would better have
said so in 80 many words, instead of Of
fering union on condition OF the with
drawal of the present candidates. II
that offer had been accepted by Mr..
CamerOn's friends, the Independents
would have been in a very tight place.
They counted on Cameron's obstinate
stupidity and counted Alright. But it is
doubtful whether it was good policy to
take the risk. The gain they have made
is a pretence of desire for a union with
the Cameron faction which they
do not really have, but on the
other hand they give the regular Or
ganization the opportunity of showing
that the rival contestants have refused
a fair offer for union upon no better pre-
text than an objection to candidates
who are individually unobjectionable.
To refuse these candidates chance of
being renominated by the Republican
voters through convention called in a
way approved and patented by the Inde-
pendents themselves is no very gracious
thing to do and the regular Republi-
cans upon this attitude of the Independ-
ents will gather in the votes of all the
members of their party whose devotion
to it is greater than their hostility to its
leaders. The Independent bolt is a
revolt against the Republican leader
ship and it might as well have been SO
distinctly presented ut all times and all
Overtures for union have been promptly
rejected as soon rs made.
We understand the Independent posi-.
tiOn now to be that there can be no re.
union in this campaign unless the regu'
lars choose to vote their ticket. They
do not renew their offer for. q new con
ventiOn and the withdrawal of all can
didates. The Philadelphia Presspretends
to consider that proposition still open
but. it does not appear in the Language
of the Independent manifesto. They
seem very glad to be rid Of it and an
not likely to let it again come up t.
trouble them in their work, which will
be successfully accomplished when tn
ClmerOn ticket is defeated at the polls

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Conimfssfon in session az New York
Various Plans Adopted,

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Mississippi
River Commission, consisting of General
Gilmore, president; General c. B. Comstoek,
Major Suter, Judge Taylor, Prof. Mitchell,
Major Herrod and Captain james B. Eads,
have been in session since Monday. The
whole sum at the disposal of the commission
for the Mississippi river is s., 150, 900. The
commission has determined to recommend
an approximate allotment of 81, 125000,
which is for the improvement of the river
below Cairo, in the following man
ner: For continuation of work at
Plum Point, sixty miles above Memphis,
$500 600; for continuation OF work IN pro-
gress sixty miles above Vicksburg at Lake
Prosidenee, $700.0 900; for work at New Mad
rid, seventy miles below Cairo, $500, 600;
for work near Memphis and for continuation
of work in the harbor of Memphis, $500, 900;
for various harbor works in addition to
balances now available, S123O00; for the
repair of levees by the stoppage of
existing gaps, 81 100000. The sum of
100000 was left unalloted for con-
tingencies. The commission decided that
the work shonld begin on the east bank of
the river, some miles above the mouth of the
Yszoo, and should continue upward. The
commissioners recommend that the $4,000
raised by local authorities be applied in
such way as TO secure in connection with
the work done by the government a
continuity of the lines of levees
from below upward. With this end
in view, the commission, in making the
allotment took into consideration the amount
of work likely to be done by the local au-
thorities. The work at Plum Point and
Lake Providence consists principally of mar
rowing the stream so as 10 increase the ra-
pidity of the current and prevent the forma-
ton of sandbars, which have a tendency to
shift the channel. One of the proposed pro-
jects is to prevent by embankmenls the flow
Of waters of the Mississippi through Atcha-
falaYa river.

LABORERS' WAR
Between the White and CoIered Men
ON the Memphis and Kansas
City Roads


LITTLE Rock, August 17.-Trouble for
some time has existed between the white
and colored laborers on the line of the Mem
phis and Kansas City railroad in Craighesd
county. Yesterday the following dispatch
was received BY Newman Erb, the company's
attorney, from Bethune, Smith & Co., con-
tractors, dated Nettleton Station: "To-day
parties under the guise of kuklux forced our
negro help to leave, under penalty of death.
We can't do our work unless protected. Can
you induce the governor to and US and the
men?" Mr.. Erb Immediately called upon
Governor Churchill, and while holding an
interview with him received the following
telegram from the president of the company:
"Bethune & Smith telegraph that armed
men have made their negro laborers quit
work under threat of killing them. Will
you see at once if protection cannot be given
so that the negro force may be kept at work
sc. II. NETTLETON, President"
The governor Immediately wired the sheriff
of Craighead county at Jonesboro, three
miles from Nettleton, as follows:
LITTLE ROCK, August II, 1882
To VIM. T. Love, Sheriff of Craighead County:
The negro workmen near the town OF Net
Teton, employed by Bethune & Smith, con-
tractors OF the Springfield and Memphis
railroad, have been driven off by parties of
armed men. Investigate the matter and pro-
tect the workmen. T. ]. CHURCHILL,
Governor of Arkansas.

THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.
First Day of the Convention at III un-
ffngdon-No Nomination.

HUNTINGDON, August 16.-The convention
met this morning and adopted the two-thirds
rule; also adopted the rule of the last Ten
nessee Legislature to regulate its delibera-
lions. The majority and minority report oil
the Committee on Resolutions were the
same, with the exception of the clause in
the majority report indorsing General w. B.
Bate and the J une convention. The minority
report said nothing in regard to the guberna-
toriaI candidates. Mr.. Cunningham, OF Har.
din; Colonel Buford, of Madison, and
General Tharps, of Henry, made ringing
speeches in favor of the majority report,
which was adopted almost unanimously
amid great enthusiasm, showing that the
correspondent of the Banner was wrong in
supposing that one-fourth of the delegates
were RUSSELL men. 1 understand that there
are not twenty-five RUSSELL men in the con-
yention. General A. A. Campbell was nom
mated by Colonel Buford, of Madison;
Major Taylor, by George E. Dawes, of Hen
derson, and B. A. Enloe, by George w. Har-
ris, of Carroll. The Hon. S. A. Champion hav-
ing Withdrawn he was not put in nomination.
The result of the first ballot was as follows:
Taylor, 57a; Campbell, SAT: Enloe, $50.
Necessary for choice, S6s. The. last ballot,
which was the 116lh, resulted as follows:

ENGLAND.
In THE COMMONS

LONDON, August l7.-Iu the Commons
this afternoon the Speaker read a letter from
Judge Lawson announcing the committal OF
Grey.
Gladstone states that precedents in cases
similar to that of Grey show that the
appointment of a committee is the proper
course. ut the present period of the session,
however, it is too late to secure the appoint
ment of a representative committee. He did
not. moreover, know any way in which a
committee could release Grey if they wished
TO do so. He therefore made a purely for
m al motion that the letter Of Judge Lawson
be placed on the table.
a passing reference of Gladstone to an
address to the committee for the removal of
Judge Lawson SIS one of The possible alterna-
tive causes was received by loud cheers from
the Irish members.
Sexton attacked Judge lawson for pre-
venting Grey from msking a defense.
The proposal of Gladstone is simply a
means to defer the matter until Grey's term
expires. Grey has telegraphed the Speaker
and Gladstone, informing them of his COM
initial and the refusal of Judge LAWSON 10
grant him an adjournment of his case.
Sexton read the kilograms reciting the ath
dayits sworn 10 to-day, declaring that some of
the iurymen who convicted Hynes were drunk
and repeated the accusations of jury-pack-
ing in Ireland. Sexton said that as long
as the lives of the Irish people were at the
mercy OF legal chicane no minor reform
woulds atisfy them. Grey's imprisonment,
he said, was a scandal and disgrace TO justice.

The Louisville Courier Journal says in
reference 10 the strikes this summer and
their failure: "rhe New York Tribune
argues that wages cannot be advanced ar
bitrarily, that wages are regulated by the
laws of supply aud demand, and that the
only remedy for low wages is to grin and
bear them, but The Tribune does not think OF
applying the same law nor preach the same
gospel to capital employed in manufactures;
it would have the government interfere and
protect the capitalist againet the evil effects
of the operation of this law of supply and
demand" 1t is objected that theilme was
not opportune for astrike, yet the capitalists
were doing well, as the national exchanges
show, but the capitalist never recognizes any
time as propitious for a strike; he wants TO
increase his own profits, not the workmen's
wages. The Courier-JoHTndi believes the
failure of the strikes 10 be owing to the free,
unobstIucted importation of labor. Laborers
came in at the rate of 1000 day, and new
men we're at hand 10 take the place of the
strikers. "'rhe lAboreTs must ask themselves
why, when they wish 10 buy cheap WOODEN
shirts in England, the law forbids and
forces them to pay two prices 10 the Ameri-
can manufacturer. yet when the American
manufacturer wishes 10 buy cheap labor he
hss the world TO choose from, and can i'm
port it Tree Of charge"

pORsEYs CHEEK.
HIS GARFIELD LETTER STILL THE SUBJECT
OF MUCH COMMENT.

HIS GARFIELD LETTER STILL THE SUBJECT
OF MUCH COMMENT.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Dorsey
letter to Garfield is still the subject of many
comments here. 1t is generally believed that
it was put forward at this time simply for
the purpose of showing how good Slalwart
Dorsey was and is, and how deserving of the
support of the Stalwarts of his party 1t is
thought that he was, when he made the let
ter public, laboring under the impression
that it might induce President Arthur 10 step
in and save him from the consequences of his
acts. The impudent way in which this
frozen impertinence was thrust before the
public at the moment when the coun-
sci of the government was showing up
Dorsey's misdeeds in the Criminal Court, was
characteristic of the man. IT is perhaps
needless to say that the President will not
step in between Mr., Dorsey and conviction
so readily, as Mr.. Dorsey seems to have ex-
pected. In fact the letter may have an
effect exactly opposite to that desired and
expected by Dorsey. Il is most probable
that the trial will be allowed to take its
course, and that Dorsey will have to take its
results on the same footing as Brady. The
trouble with Dorsey's letter seems to be that
he did not publish it soon enough if it was
ever to have any effect at all. Meanwhile
doubts have arisen whether Dorsey ever sent
such letter to Garfield. In this
connection gentlemen who were at Mem
TOR during the winter of 1SS0-SI, and
who conversed with General Garfield daily,
say that they do not believe that any such
letter was ever received by him. They say
that he would have been certain to have
talked about it, and that as he did not, and as
no one of them ever saw or heard of it in
any other way until it appeared in print a
day or two ago, it could not have been re-
ceived. Ex-senator Dorsey says that he sent
the letter TO Garfield at the time of its date,
and he proffers his letter-book in proof of his
statement. He says nothing, however, about
a reply, and he leaves the whole matter
about as vague as it can we'll be.
