claim to superior virtue and their
right to preach to us what they do
not practice themselves
We have heard of no scramb lie
over any Southern post-office, for in
stance, in which their were more
participants, more strife and more
loud talk before the country than
has been going on over the Cincinnati
post office. The number of candidates
seems to be legion, and each one is
on hand with his bundle of recon-
mendations signed by any number OF
influential citizens, and each has his
jealous friends in Washington to press
his claims in person. The two mem
bers of Congress from that city do
not agree in their Judgment as to
who is the man for the place. and the
newspapers all over the country are
full of the fight that has been going
on. And what is said of the post
Office applies also to other positions
to be filed.
And Chicago is no better. A col
lector was appointed there few
days ago, after "a big fight which is
still going on, Notwithstanding the
appointment has been made. The
same sort of music comes from
Pennsylvania, where Don Cameron
holds sway and rules with rod of
iron. His opponents are driven to
the wall, so far as Federal patronage
is concerned, but his victims do not go
down without screech and a howl
and kick. The great fight in New
York, which threatened the unity of
the party, and which was conducted
with so much bitterness, is still fresh
in the minds of our readers, and there
is scarcely a Northern State in which
the Republicans have not had their
scrambles.
This is greatly to be regretted.
From the lectures sometimes given
gratuitously to Southern Republic
cans by Northern Congressman and
Northern newspapers, we had been
led to believe that their constituents
and patrons were not addicted to the
vice of office-seeking, but we fear
that we have been misled. In fact,
we have about come to the conclusion
that this smalady is very general,
confined to no section nor no party.
The Democrats want Office, the South
ern Republicans want Office and the
Northern Republicans banker after
the flesh pots. Human nature is about
the same, we find, the world over,
and if there are any Republicans or
any Democrats in any section of the
Union who are exempt from Office
seeking they are in large minority

TUESDAY, JANUARY II, 1882.

IT is not discreditable to Mr.. Louis
B. McWhirter that he desires to fur
Their explain his testimony before the
investigating committee, touching
. his effort to poison Senator Barrett.
It shows that he is not entirely de-
void of conscience, and in meditating
over the dark transaction, he feels
that it will not bear scrutinizing. We
are glad that he is thinking over it
glad for his own sake. But his ex-
PLANTATION, as printed in the Memphis
Ledger, is one of the curiosities of
the curious revelations of this
curious investigation. He says he
got the dose of poison for Barrett
because Barrett wanted him to. We
have never before heard that Barrett
was bent upon suicide. That has not
been proven. And if he had been, it
was notan act of humanity toad him
in his dire design by getting up the
poison. We do not remember to
have ever before heard, at least not
in modern times, of q man with
suicidal intent having friends so
ready to assist him in shutting off
his mortal coil
Mr.. McWhirter was doubtless great
ly disappointed in not being able to
find Barrett that night. He was lock
ed up, he says, in John Freeman s
room, and poor fellow he lay there
all right, languishing for the ''cup of
cold pizen," SO kindly and consider
ately prepared for him by his friend
McWhirter. And instead of being
carried out as cold corpse the next
morning, he took hearty breakfast
of beefsteak, ham and eggs, and other
like substantial refreshments, and
wkat is worse, went up to the cap
itol and voted for the 1908 bill, thus
adding great sin to his record, for
which he shall account at the last
day.
But McWhirter's skirts are clear.
When Barrett is called to account
for this sin, he will plead his previous
intention to remove himself, and
will urge that he left the details
to his friend McWhirter, who failed
him in the crisis. But McWhirter
will point to John Freeman and say
to the Judge: II was faithful to my
promises, 1 procured the belladona,
I had carefully prepared the deadly
night-shade, I had all things ready,
but that man defeated my plans and
made it impossible for their execu-
ton This will be sumner.
McWhirter will stand aside, fully
indicated, for no one can be held
responsible for a failure to poison
when it was physically impossible
for him to do so. But Freeman,
what will become of him. He will
be cast into outer darkness, where
Democratic majorities never fail.

The Drunkard is burden to himself
as well as his friends; but, since intoxica-

taken Simmons Liver Regulator declare
that it sets the liver in action and invigor-

the craving for strong drinks. The shaky,

casion was a missionary picnic held by
the members of the Toxic Band, a girls
missionary society connected with
Mount Salem M. e. Church, under the
care of Mrs. j. F. Mclaughlin. A
booth was erected, made beautiful with
bunting and drapery and Japanese dec
orations in which were ice cream ta-
bies, and the children and their invited
guests regaled themselves with the del
icacies of the season. At the appoinu-
ed time all were seated on the grassy
bank and the youthful President, Miss
Amy Littell Clark, presided with dig.

and an interesting and instructive ad
dress by Mrs. E. B. Stevens, treating
of the children's part in the missionary
work and giving full accounts of the
work in Japan, especially Toxic, after
which this Band is named. She also
presented the claims of mite boxes and
one little girls box was opened and
yielded So A number of mite-boxes
were sold and after another season q

rays warned them that this delightful
day must come to an end.

A Ryutal PrtZe-EiKht.

The Maloney eeden prize-fght took
place yesterday morning near Smith g
Ferry, Pa. A steamer carried the crowd,
which numbered about 200, to the scene
of the fight The boat touched shore
about 800 yards on the Ohio side of the
State line. After considerable discus
sion a spot was chosen in large mea-
dow on the property of J W. Cunning
ham, on the State line. At the end of
the forty first round Maloney's hackers
or some of them-claimed "fonl.'
The referee would not allow it, and the
ring was taken possession of by an ex.
cited mob, and two or three impromptu
fights were in progress inside of the
ropes, amid which the principals and
seconds Joined hands in the centre and
Weeden said in low tone to Maloney:
"Owney, are you willing to call this a
draw? l don't want to kill a man. -
Maloney accepted the situation, and
the fight was so decided. The time of
the fight, which was one of the hottest
that has taken place in some years, was
seventy minutes. At the conclusion of
the fight several pistols were discharged
but no one was killed.
