The Richmond Wing publishes the fol-
lowing special dispatch from Washington,

entirely reliable, and that cannot be i'm
peached:'
I'm view OF the public declaration from
Congressman Dezendorf to the effect that
President Arthur was not giving his cor
dial support to Gen Malone and the liberal
movement in Virginia, we are authorized
to state from an unimpeachable source
President Arthur stated to Mr.. Dezendort
on Friday last that he heartily sustained
Gen. Malone, and that he intended to
fully support the liberal movement in
Virginia to the extent of his power, and
that Mr.. Dezendorf need not expect any
support or encouragement from his admin
istration in his war against coalition. The
Secretary of the Navy also stated to Con-
gresham Dezendorf that he need not ek-
pect any consideration from his depart
ment."

charge of vagrancy into slavery for one
year He brought only 81, and the Brooks

excitement caused by the horrible
crime of Reteck, the uxoricide, has

strange controversies precipitated by
the deed. 1t seems that half Of the

claiming the 5000 offered for his ar

over the body Of the murdered wife.
There were two hearses and two coffins
at the funeral. At one time a row
was imminent, which promised to re-
suit in cutting the poor woman's body
in two, in order that the remains
might occupy two coffins and be car
ried by both hearses to the two graves
that had been prepared. Beteck was
arrested and rearrested on several
warrants issued by the two justices,

that two rival lynching parties are
being organized to make sure that the

On Monday evening of this week,

man was lying asleep in the public
park on fourth avenue and immedi-
ately started for the spot to arrest
him. On his way thither, he happen

Of 4 few moments was called upon to
assist in making the arrest, as the
drunk made & formidable resistance.
In tie first onslaught however, he felt
a large foot, propelled by a powerful
limb and drew himselftogether nearly
ten feet from the scene Of battle. He
returned to the conflict, excited and
'blood in his eye, seized what he sup
posed within the intense darkness, to
be the man who kicked him, and at
tempted to get in blow with his
cane. Then followed lively scuffie
which only ended when the excited
editor found himself in the strong
arms of the officer with whom he had
been wrestling. Meanwhile the (pris-
oner?) drunk as he was, made a hasty
exit and has not since been heard
from.

The Chicago News says: The
last week has been an important
vne in the Guiteau case for two
reasons. The prisoner was at
length brought TO a realization of
the fact that in the eye OF the law
and the people he is nothing more
or lesA than a common criminal,
aud as such deserves no better
treatment than is generally accord
cd to prisoners Of his class. Aud
Judge Cox, who has been greatly
mlsrepresented because Of the sup.
posed lenieRcy with which he treat
ed the prisoner, had an opportunity
ofvindicating his course, which Op
portunity he took advantage of in
a pointed and dignified speech from
the bench. He showed that it was
entirely in accordance with the
wishes Of the prosecuting counse!
that he had given so much rope to
the prisoner, and that the purpose
was to give experts summoned to
Washington 10 give testimony in
the case an opportunity witness
ing the daily antics ofthe prisoner,
that they might come TO intelligent
conclusions regarding the cOndi-
tion of the assassin's mind.

willing to accord Bayard leader
ship and prominence. His strong,
est friends and supporters are from
the East and South. His speech
was candid and straightforward.
He denounced the protective sys-
tenn now in force as unjust, oppress-
i've and out of place. He did not
indicate that he was willing to sac
rifice principle to expediency. He
said the protective system was born
of war, perhaps good enough in
time of war, but now, in time of
peace, it is as much out of place as
an arsenal would be where it was
proposed to manufacture WOODEN
goods. He severely denounced the
doctrine of a tariff for protection,
with Incidental revenue, and de-
olared that the tariff should be a
just and equitable tax laid to meet
the expenses of the government.
The present tariff, he SAID, was sim
ply prohibitiys. In rearranging and
readjusting it and its burdens he
wanted to haar from all classes of
people to have all interests consult
ed. He wanted the poor mans in
terests and reeds consulted, and,
though the Morrill, bill was not Just
what he believed to be necessary
in the way Of legislation, he was
willing to give it a trial as making
progress in the right direction. He
wanted a commission that would
listen to all classes and interests,
and that would hear poor people
aud laboring people and heed their
voices. Mr. Bayard was not hope
ful, however, of the final passage of
the Morrill, bill. He apprehended
that the House of Representatives
would resent the Senate's action
on this subject as an interference
with its privileges, and that the
bill would never see daylight in
that end Of the capitol.

A Washington dispatch Of the
10th says: Senator Bayard's speech
te-day upon the tariff question is
quite generally complimented as an
able presentation Of the aubject
from his standpoint. One COM
ment, especially among the Demo
Gratis, is that this speech brings
Bsyard forward for the Presidential
noLniEation ia 1854. Tie idea is
that Bsyard has planted himself
upon middle or compromise
ground with regard to the tariff,
and that he has thus worked out q
new line Of policy for his party;
that, after its experience Of last
year, the Democratic party will
not enter another national canvass
