GOVERNOR Hawkins has come
down, obviously, to harmonize differ
ences among the Republicans, and to
rule the,low tax ticket off the track.
That he will succeed is highly prob
able. There is discipline ia the
Republican party, and when the lead
ers crack their whips the rank and
file generally come to time. They are
quite independent at times. but it
always happens between elections. At
hsart four fifths of the Republicans
in Shelby county are what might be
called low takers. Yet they have been
cudgeleG into line by the Federal
ring until it looks like a majority
of the votes will be cast the other
way. 1t takes Democrats to tall out
about hair-splitting and remain per-
manently divided until after the elec.
tion. The Boilers Republican Aid
Society is doing all it can to re-elect
Governor Hawkins. He smiles fondly
on them and they gaze lovingly up at
him as their political Bunthorne and
leader. A wonderful mutual conf
dence seems to exist. Not one word
criticizing the sky. blue Democracy is
seen in a Republican paper or
heard from Republican orator. And,
on the other hand, the
sky blues deal with Republicans
as with brethren and members of the
same Ihousehold. 1t more than a
mere flag of truce and cessation Of
hostilities; it is cordial understand
ing not only as to the State debt qucs-
ton, but extending to other issues,
This is the situation which the regu
lar Democracy of the State have to
contemplate, and it is the first time in
the history of parties in this State that
such an alliance was unblushingly

President Arthur now drives out il
the most stylish four-in- hand turn out
ever seen in this city. The horses are
bays, the harness gold plated. He
uses the new landau he purchased
last winter, Albert Hawkins, who
drove President Grant, Hayes and
Garfield, handles the reins. The
turn out attracts very general atten.

ever had in the way of team ap

were recently purchased in New York
and have a record of about three
minutes over an ordinary road.

CAPTAIN Will Ewin died in Nash
vile last Saturday. He had been in
i'll health for some years, yet his death
though long expected, causes profound
sorrow to hosts OF friends. He en-
tered a Nashville company which
became a part of Battles famous
Twentieth Tennessee regiment. After
the battle of Shiloh, when the army
was reorganized he was elected Cap
tain of Company A, and served as itf
commander until he was wounded
losing a leg at the battle of Resaca. He
had been in perhaps every engagement
in which the regiment had partici
pated up to that time. Alter the
war he was Clerk Of the County
Court of Davidson county fol
one term, and afterward was en-
gagged in merchandising in Humphreys
county. For several years it wa;
evident to his friends chat he was on
the decline, and the end came not
sooner than was expected. He was a
Christian gentleman, gallant soldier
and a useful citizen, lie was married
twice, and leaves large family.

BERLIN, August 1.-The refusal of
Italy to co operate with England in
putting down Arab Pasha may be
taken as representing the attitude Of
Germany and Austria. High author

The course Of the vessel was changed
so as to bring her into the most fire..

deck was cut the iron was found to be
red hot. If the fire had continued

In answer to a former article rela-

Captain Hooper Under a Cloud

WASHINGTON, July 30.-A year ago
Captain Hooper, of the U. S. revenue
cutter Thomas COrwin, was the hero
Of the town, on account OF his daring
achievements in search for the Jean
nette north OF Behring Straits. He is
now in Washington trying to explain
away the charges affecting his honor,
to the effect that when he was on the
Arctic seas he speculated in furs, sell
ing to natives from a government
vessel in defiance OF all rules and regu-
latiOns, firearms and frewater for seal
and other skins. 1t is alleged that he
put into various ports wherever there
were Indian villages, and was not in
such haste that he had not time to stop
and carry ON brisk trade with
the natives. 1t appears that he
bought at Ounalaska a large stock OF
hrearms, sugar, tea and other goods.
ard exchanged them for furs, uelts
whalebone and ivory. He bought the
goods, it is alleged, on government
account, although on his way back he
settled the bill, but left the matter in
such q shape that had he been lost the
government would have been held for
the bill, and no knowledge Of his
transaction would eyer have reached
Washington. Hepurchased his stock

The STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
An Interesting EpisOde---A Wit
ness Ruled Out.
Judge Key Will Hardly Testify.

WASHINGTON, August lin the
Star Route trial this morning Senator
Maxey, of Texas, testified that in
1879 he was chairman of the Sen.
ate Postofice Committee.
He was asked if he had not fire.
queutly called upon the Postmaster
General and Second Assistant Post
master General while acting as chair.
man Of that committee with the OBJ
ject of securing an increase and expe-
dition Of the Star Routes in his State.
The question was objected to by the
prosecution, because none of the
routes named in the indictment were
in Texas.
Mr.. Ingersoll said it was proper to
show that Mr.. Brady had not been
influenced by mercenary motives, but
rather by the advice of the
whole administration. Immediately
upon Senator Maxey's leaving,
he intended to call to the
chair Postmaster General Key, 10
show what his policy had been, and
then they were through with this
matter, unless the prosecution could
bring home the bribery to General
Brady.
The Court said this Court was es.
tabliShed to try the questions at law,
and he did not propose to allow
the defendant to screen himself
by producingPost master Generals,
Senators and Representatives to show
the power he had to the establishment
of new routes. The policy of the gov
ernme1t is to be found in
its laws, as the Supreme Court had
declared that in their Interpretation
debates in Congress when they we're
enacted, could not be looked to. 1t
was said that this policy was adopted
by the Second Assistant Postmaster
General under advice, as though it
was a correct policy. Suppose
it was right, what had that to
do with this case. Lord Bacon de-
Tended himself from the charge of
bribery by saying that his decisions
had always been right, yet he
had very properly been convicted
of bribery and stripped Of his gown.
Suppose this policy was correct, and
yet the charges in the indictment were
sustained.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The spree

the climax Of the drinking feature OF

but there has been enough to enforce
the theory that any drinking at all is a
bad thing about the capitol or mixed
up with any important work. In the
face of distinctly understood rules to
the contrary, liquor has been con.
stantly sold in both the Senate and
House restaurants, by means of the
tea cup trick or in milk punches. The
milk punch is the most innocent guise,
and has become very popular this
session. The time honored and time
