Won't Take Place.


Tho proposed glove contest between Ned
Donnelly and John Collins Will not take place
in Washington, the District Police Commits
sioners having instructed Major Brock, Super
intcndent OF Police, 10 prevent lights with
gloves and without, whether arranged to take
place publicly or privately, and whether a
charge Is made for witnessing such contests or
not. The action taken is the outcome OF an In
terview held by Collins with Judge Smell os-
tensibly TO obtain the views OF the latter re.
garding the illegality OF such affairs, and
Donnelly and his friends arc greatly incensod
in consequence, charging that Collins was
anxious to get rid of a Job which he feared
would result In his defeat,

Well may the Federal employees from
Virginia dread Mahone's power since
the action of the President on Friday
last in the Manassas Post Office case.
Mrs. Adelia Pine has been postmistress
Manassas, Virginia, for ten years. The
patrons of the Office by a majority of
303 to 25 expressed their desire for her
appointment. According to recent re.
ports Of the agents of the Post Office
Department, the Office has been man.
aged with exceptional efficiency; but
some time ago Malone demanded Mrs.
Pines removal because be had some
pique against her brother, lawyer of
Manassas. The citizens of Manassas
and the region round about protested
against her removal. Last Friday the
matter was brought before the Cabinet
and it was decided that Ma
hone should have his way; and the
Of Mrs. Pine has been ordered
and henchman of Malone, living IF !
teen miles from Manassas, is to be ap-
pointed. In this matter President Ar
th ur and hts Cabinet have bowed down
before the Boss of Bosses.

The Department of Justice has an
elephant on it's hands in the shape OF
the report of II. Fl. Wells, who was
some time ago appointed by the Attor-
ney-General to investigate the bribery
charges in the Star Route cases. The
reportis absurdly voluminous. 1t con-
tains about 10000 words. The affida-
Wit makes up fifteen thousand words
and the ambitious Wells uses another
fifteen thousand by way of comment.
No wonder some Of the officers of the
Department criticise Mr.. Wells for
projecting himself into the report to
such an inconvenient extent. The At
torney General and his aids have had
several solemn consultations regarding
the question as to how the document
can best be put before the public.
Some Of them now see that the invss-
tigation has been badly managed and
that the Acknowledgement added an
other to his many blunders when be
appointed Wells as special counsel to
conduct the inquiry.

The Proposed Constitutional
Amendment.

We have received from the Commit
tee upon which was devolved the dut,
of preparing the amendment, o pam
phles explaining its pro visions and ad.
vocating its adoption. The following
is their appeal to the people of the
State:
In view Of the Importance which attaces to
the proposed constitutional amendment re-
lating to the Supreme Court, the general
lack of information concerning it, and the
objections which have been urged against it.
the undersigned, who were members of the
Senate Committee that reported the measure,
have, at the request of some of its most
prominent advocates, concluded to submit
for your consideration the accompanying ar
guments in favor of its adoption and in an
swer to those which have been advanced in
opposition to it.
The leading idea of the proposed amend
ment is a classified division, between two
tribunals, Of the enormous mass Of appellate
litigation now devolved upon one, so as to
relieve the growing pressure which already
ebstxucts or defeats the ends of Justice. The
two divisions of the Supreme Court, with the |
ST. Louis Court of Appeals, will then furnish
hree appellate tribunals, having their re-
'pective fanctions so classified as to reduce
he possibilities Of disagreement to the low
st minimum, and SO subject to revision, un-
Ter certain rare conditions, by q court in
anc, as to render any conflicts of final an.
hority altogether impossible.
This amendment was not, as has been as
erted, the result of hasty action on the part

Malone, the Virginia boss" to
whom has been given the sole control
of the Federal patronage in that State,
wants all the officials to "poney up''
by the LIST of November. AS the cleo
ton comes on just one week later. this
money cannot certainly be wanted "for
the distribution of public documents. !"
Then what is to be done with this
money? Most assurredly it is to be
used on the day of election. Were ev-
er the means resorted to by even the
Republicans to carry an election 30
shamelessly barefaced? If they win at
their game, then indeed must all virtue
have gone from the masses.

Political Assessments.

The subject Of political assessment.
was referred to in the Cabinet meeting
in Washington last Friday. After the
matter was discussed for awhile Presi.
dent Arthur remarked to his Official
family: II suppose It'll understood that
force is not to be used, but I take it fol-
granted that none of you object to col
lectors going round the departments
and taking up contributions.n
This is only a diplomatic way of ex-
pressing approval of Jay Hubbelism,
and the blOod-money process will be
continued.
While the President and Cabinet
were talking over this question of as
sessments, Virginia clerks were re-
ceiving and reading the following cir
cular:
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS, 1882.
DEAR SIR-By the Executive Committee
you are requested to contribute - dollars
for the purpose of the pending canvass of the
Readjuster party. You will please remit this
sum by check or money postal order to C. C.
NA''A n, AAS"SoA ci IsiCHIuOuu, va, anu you are
requested so to do on or before the first dan
Of November nert, and at the time of making
this remittance you will notify the under
signed en- the back Of this sheet.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM MALONE, Chairman.
In the blank of each circular there is |
Inserted a sum fixed at the rate of sos |
or every $500 Of salary.
The command that "at the time of
making this remittance you will notify
he undersigned on the back Of this
hset," Is something new in the pirat-
cal methods of the managers. Malone
lives his clerks to understand that he
will make up black list of those who
o not respond promptly.
Most Of the Virginia clerks have al
eady paid their two per cent. to Hub
ell. and many OF them are actually
orrowing money in order to escape
,ahone's vengeance. !

In his Kansas City interview ex-
Senator Dorsey let drop some words
indicating that he was not pleased
with the action of the A ttorney-G ener-
al in employing the two Democratic
lawyers, Merrick and Ker. Mr.. Mer-
rick is easily at the head of the bar in
the District of Columbia. He has sup
piled nearly all the brains and the Wig
or which have appeared in the Star
Route prosecution. The defendants
have reason to be thankful that the
ruling spirits in the Department of
Justice have sighted Mr.. Merrick. In
matters connected with the conduct of
the prosecution they employed the dis
reputable Fall Il Nelson without Mer-
rick's knowledge, and they engaged
the voluminous Wells without his ap-
proval. It has been suspected for some
time that the Administration has been
trying to "freeze out" Merrick and Ker,
and it is said by persons who ought to
know whereof they speak that the
word has gone forth from headquarters
to the effect that no Democratic law
yers shall be employed in the Star
Route cases. The Department of JUS
tice and Administration have secrets
which must not be made known even
IN confidence to, or be suspected by, a
Democratic lawyer. The President
md the Department Of Justice appear
% be just as much annoyed as is Dor
ey by the Inconvenience Of paying
awyers who think that the best way
o prosecute is to prosecute.

OF your Legislature. The subject of the re-
organization of the Supreme Court, in such
way as would give relief to its greatly ov
erburdened docket and thus secure a more
prompt administration of Justice, was
brought to the attention of the thirty-first
General Assembly shortly after it convened
In regular session, and no matter before it re-
celved more deliberate and careful consider
ation. Both the House and Senate Commit
tee on CONSTITUTIONAL worked as
slduously to perfect some plan which would
De at once both effective and economical. A
number were submitted and considered,
each having its merits and its advocates, but
all involving heavy expense to the people,
except the one now before you. This met
with such prompt and general acceptance
that 1t passed the Senate with but two dis
senting votes, and the House by vote of
lob to 20, and in neither body did it meet
with any active or outspoken opposition.
1t thus comes to you with the endorse
mont Of an almost unanimous vote of both |
houses OF your Legislature. Under no cir |
cumstances can it entail upon the State, an |
additional expense of more than $500 per
annum, which is the salary Of the one addi-
tional Judge provided for.
1t now remains for you to decide by your
votes whether it shall become part of the
organic law Of the State, and receive that
practical test which alone can fully deter.
mine the merits of any plan of judicial orga-
nization, or whether, by. rejecting it, YOU
VIII permit continuance of that virtual de-
NAL OF 1astice which ne cessarily results from
he now hopelessly embarrassed condition of
bur Supreme Court docket.
