AN In.eresiing Slory.

An interesting story Of fshipwreck
and adventure acknowledgement
lin the london newspapers. 1t. ap.
pears that the baraue Roseneath
foundered last May in the Straits of
Magellan. The captain, hiswife and
seven of the crew were picked up by
a passing vessel. Another boat con-
tanning five Of the men was supposed
to be lost. The first officer, named
Samson. now turns up with story
of exciting adventure. He recounts
in his deposition that the day after
leaving the ship they sighted the
shore near Cape Horn Here they
were overtaken by sayages who board
cd their boat. Samson tried to con.
= siFtscapIors with biscuits and
tobacco. They seemed friendly at
first but afterward massacred all the
sailors except himself with hatchets.
They then landed on one of the Ter.
ra del Fuego islands (which abounds
with rats about the size of English
cats" Whether the cats on the
island were of psoportionate size is
not stated. They lived on shell.Gsh
and an occasional seal. At night
they all slept in wigwam, "men,
women, children and dogs The
Indians were addicted to smoking,
which produced results similar to
those well,known to small boys who
begin the habit with strong cigars.
Samson suggests that he was saved,
as two other men that he met among
the savages were, in order to get
reward from passing steamers. The
reason given is hardly satisfactory.
In all probability the sayages had at
the time no cold missionary in the
pantry, and thoughtthat with lit
tie fat,ening he would make choice
dish, either roast or corned. Ulti-
mately he escaped with some other
Indians who encamped on the same
shore, and was rescued by the Pacific
liner Aconcagua, which conveyed
him to Valparaiso, whence he reach
ed England. The tribe of Indians
by whom he was rescued belonged TO
the Patagonian shore. Steamers of
the North Pacific line are in the hab-
it of stopping to conciliate the tribe
with food and tobacco, so as to in.
duce them to save the lives Of any
poor fellows vino may be wrecked.
lie thus accounts for being brought
off TO the vessel and adds that the oc-
casional treachery of the Indians re-
suits from the i'll treatment they
have had to putup with at the hands
of the whites.

WASHINGTON June 22.-There is some
interesting gossip in Republican circles,
pretty well vouched for, on the subject OF
the Republican differences in New York
and Pennsylvania. The stories are to the
effect that the President is exerting all his
influence to secure harmony in both States;
that he has failed in Pennsylvania so far
but has measurably succeeded in New
York. The plan adopted in New Iork:is
said to be this:
Governor Cornell, Stalwart, but not of
the Conkling~Arthu stripe, is TO berenom-
mated for Governor and supported by the
whole of the party and administration in
fluence. Senator Lapham is to resign his
place in the United Safes Senate and run
for Lieutenant Governor, while Cornell is
to appoint Hon. Roscoe Conkling United
States Senator in place of Lapham. Collec-
tor Robertson is to be kept in and run the
office for the general behoof and benefit OF
the party.
1t is supposed that this dicker will satisfy
all the factions, and save the administra-
ton from the modification of defeat in No
vember next; but if Mr.. Waldo Hutchins
should be the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, the whole of this card palace will be
apt to tumble down. OF course, if Re-
publican Legislature be secured. Mr.. Conk-
ling would be regularly chosen by'that
body.
In Pennsylvania no compromise seems
probable, owing to the bitterness of the
rival factions, but Mr.. Cameron is said to
be ready to make concessions to the rebels.

ONE MORE CHANCE.
The Last Appeal I'm the Assassin's
Behalf.
Special 10 the Register.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-Guiteau, this
morning, was full of hope, understanding
as he did that Miss Chevaillier and DR.
Beard would make an effort to have his
sentence suspended until ascientific exam
ination could be made.
Rev. Dr. Hicks was the first caller at the
iail, and he had spent but a
few minutes in the cell when Mr.. Reed,
with Dr. Beard and Miss Chevaillier
arrived and they too went to the cell. The
interview was quite short one. The pris-
oner was very much excited, and urged
Miss Chevallier and the others to go to the
President at once. DR.. Godding joined the
party at the door, and they left for the
White House. where they had the inter
view with the President, which lasted until
half.past two o'clock.
The case was presented by Drs. Beard
and Godding. In addition to
the petition, letters to the
effect that o thorough investigation of the
question of Guiteau's sanity should be
made before his execution, were filed from
w. w. III. AhOAaoo AoASAi
DR.. Mcfarland, DR.. w. A. E. Browne, DR..
VIM. J. Mortar, DIR. Hammond, DR.. Spitzka
and Mr. Clarke Bell, of New York. The
latter argued from legal standpoint that
there was no defence of Guiteau's on the
insanity question.
The delegation did not desire to know
the Presidents intentions, but only re-
quested him to give the matter due con-
sideration, which he promised to do. Miss
Chevellier remarked after the interview:
Eve do not want Communication OF SEN
tence, but simply short respite, in order
that the question may be fully settled. If
the President grant it, it will probably be
against his own feelings and the feelings Of
us all; but his action in such case would be
based upon patriotism and sense Of
justice. We hope to be able to say that no
sane man killed our President, and we
think science and justice are back Of u.s.

until the meeting of the committee next
Tuesday.
A good deal of dissatisfaction Is being
expressed over the lack Of activity mani
tested by the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee. So far, with the ex-
ception OF few anti Chinese speeches, they
have not sent out document although
people from distance are writing here
constantly. asking for speeches, not one has
been sent them except by individual mem
bers of Congress who have been personally
addressed. Local Democratic COM
mittees have written here, saying that their
districts are being flooded with
speeches and documents, and asking for
something with which to stem the tide,
but they have met with no response from
the committee. Not single dollar has
been raised to pay for print ting and dis
tributing documents, and no effort has been
made to raise any money. The committee
has not even obtained the list OF names that
the last committee had.
On the other hand, the Republican ma
chine is running toits full capacity. Large
force of men and boys is at work in the
basement of the Capitol, folding and mail
ing speeches and documents. They are
flooding the South and every district in the
country where there is chance for their
success with campaign literature. They
have been thoroughly alarmed ever their
prospects for the next House, but they are
gaining courage every day by reason OF their
own activity and the inactivity OF their
opponents. They have raised large sum
already, partly by assessment Of government
officers and clerks. Every Republican mem
Der of Congress has contributed except one.
More than that, outsiders have been assessed
and have paid their assessments. The
members of the American Iron and Steel
Association have been assessed 81, 900 each,
and all but one have paid. The Democratic
members of Congress are becoming indig-
nsnt at the apathy of their own committee,
and are strongly urging that some action
be taken to meet the energy of the other

The War Of the Furious Factions
Continues.

Z tioa at St. yctairsyiiie-.Scenes . /.
and Incidents Of the
Struggle.
A FEW WORDS OF SOUND ADVICE.

To The Members or the Convention:
1t is plain to all cool observers that your
body is riven by the spirit of faction. For
three days,-in the preliminary arrange
ments, in diplomacy, and in the ballot, each
faction has tried hard to beat all the others.
You have each been as obstinate as mules
and about as eloquent as, kickers. You
have sweat by day, sweltered by night, and
some of you have sworn, sweltered and
sweat, only to get wider apart. Some OF
you have lost your tempers and, in the
heat and turmoil, will not find them again
until you go home.
II either faction should now triumph
over the others, the fruits OF the victory
would turn to ashes on your lips. You can
not reasonably hope to elect candidate
born of such struggle.
As "a convention, you have outlived your
usefulness-unless you take our advice
and drop all the candidates, now before
YOU. nominate a new one, and adjourn.
And the sooner you do this the better.
You are now crucifying your party, and
even the magnificent majority Of nearly
5000 in your district will disappear as the
snowflake before the score, ng sun.
Nominate new man wrose hands are
clean, whose character is b int, who Sc in
tegrity is without blemi' one who does
not seek the office; one W. ''e friends have
not intrigued for him; en- tho has no ene-
mics within the party to r. ish or personal
friends to reward; one Wa will come 10
the.position with but one ,.5ject, and that
object the service OF his country.
Such a man is Judge WILLIAM. II.
FRAZIER, of Noble county. There may be
other men in your party whom you can
elect, but there is none purer, none more
unselfish, none who would prove more
faithful to the whole people of the district
and of the country.
We pray you, do not fatter yourselves
with the idea that you can elect whomso-
ever you may nominate! The spirit OF
independence is abroad in this good year of
1882. Nominations secured by intrigues,
by bargains, by the lash of Bosses, will
stand poor show with the people at the
polls. Do you doubt this? Try and see.
If you do not give the people a clean
candidate, they will find clean-handed
Congressman in the Democratic ranks.
We give you fair notice.
