political sHAMELEssNEss

The campaign in Indiana in 1880 has
become celebrated as emphatically fight
of money against all the better elements
which can enter into political struggle.
Ex-sESAroR DORSEY went there with a
quarter of million dollars, and won; but it
was victory for the which DORSEY and the
Republican party have not had any great
room for glorying-so confessedly and noto-
riously was it the result Of gross political
corruption. Since that time the ex-senator
who carried the heavy purse in that cam
paign has fallen under the grayest
charges Of robbery, in immense amounts
Of the national treasury. Not only is it
1aid to be an indisputable fact that this re-
publican leader is a veritable criminal in
the matter Of the star routes, but 1t is
charged that not all the money was ex-
pended in Indiana which had been sent nor
was any Of thesurplus returned 10 the ma
tional committee, by which it was raised.
And vet, in the face Of these disgraceful
charges. this notorious record, DORSEY rC-
mains the secretary Of the republican nn-
tional committee, continues 20 figure

Special Officers from Washington Exam
lining into the Affairs of Marshal A. Is.
Norton, 1t is Alleged.
1t has been known for four or five days
that there were couple of special officers
from the department of justice at Wash
ington, seeking information pertaining to
said department. Yesterday it became the
talk on the streets that these specials,
Mcssrs. Titcomb and Bowen, were in Dali
las to inquire into the affairs of United
States Marshal Norton's office.
Our reporter heard the sidewalk whisper
perings, and went Immediately on
an Investigating tour. He heard
divers and sundry rumors and allegations,
and not few positive assertions. It was
alleged that quite q number OF citizens
were sent for and examined by these spe-
Gals, being questioned as to. what they
knew concerning the management of the
marshal's office, the standing and charac-
ter of the deputies, and such things.
Among the charges made and in
quired into, as alleged, was one that jurors
and witnesses in the federal court had been
compelled to take scrip for their services.
which they had to sell at discount. The
HERALD could repeat innumerable rumors,
but declines to do so, preferring to await
future Developments if there should be any.

sgd Shelton resides in East Dallas, and
he can trace his lineage back to Ham, the
brunette son of Noah. Sgd has wife, a
comfy daughter of Senegambia, of whom
he is very fond and very proud. He is
chief bottle washer and tumbler rinser at
Mr.. James Skeletons saloon, and the wages
he receives, while liberal enough for the
class of work he does, are not of those pro-
portions to enable him to live ike ma,
tional banker. Yesterday his wife wanted
him to bring her new dress, for Easter
Sunday perhaps but as Sydney had not
the ready rhino, he was compelled
to deny her that pleasure. This
proved upor. her mind to such an extent
that she was exceedingly unhappy..quite
as much so, inded, as some OF the fellows
who are writing long letters to the HERALD
about the Frank Jackson April fool joke.
She thought if she could not persuade her
liege lord to buy that dress she would get it
from him by strategy, so she concocted a
plan to pretend suicide. She told him that
without that dress life had ceased to be in
teresting, and was entirely .valueless, there
fore she had procured poison and would
proceed to take it. She trusted that he
might be happy, and that he might lind
another heart to love and bless him when
she was gone, and that all she asked
of him was to keep her grave green
for little while and TO sometimes visit the
SPOT where her Wondering form was taking
its last rest and she would try and have her
spirit there If she could get brief leave of
absence from that unknown cline where
she expected shortly to bang her hair and
wrestle with her ethereal hash. She then
opened O paper and emptied into her hand
a white powder, which she said was poison,
but before she could take it Sgd made for
her, and to evade him she broke and run,
and he after her. They went at break
n ,ck pace by the Union depot, she forcing
the running and Sgd striving manfully to
collar her. In running by the depot they
attracted the attention of Officers Hodges
and Waller, and thinking the woman was
running to save herself from injury, they
Joined in the race. Sgd was running for
dear life to catch his wife, think ng she
meant selfdestruction she was running
with might and main to elude him, for the
sake of fooling him, and the officers, regard
less of their official dignity, and needless of
the inadeauacy of their salaries for such Ia
borious efforts, were straining every nerve
to catch Sgd to prevent a murder per-
haps, they thoght, as, putting and
blowing they hold gravel with their deli
cate feet. On they rushed until the fair
grounds were nearly reached, when the
woman exhausted, fell down on the grass
and gave up. Explanations followed, and
examination showed that the white powder
she had was nothing bgt bicarbonate OF
soda.
The officers were mad and made few
impromptu remarks; Sydney was out of
breath and humor both, and the woman
was mistress of the situatian, but she didn't
get her new dress.

common by for to SEQ men utterly devoid
Of personal standing, grossly sensual and

grace TO the country. When such
characters as DoRsEY and HuDbELL,
oRTn and RoBEoS, and WILLIAM
L. CHANDLER, who has just been made
secretary of the navy are continued in high
position, public standards politically, and
political ethics generally have degcnerated
alarmingly from former time-no
TO mention the fact that none o.
them are recommended by any in
tellectual superiority. CHANDLER, in
deed, who is now one of the presidents
constitutional advisers, is distinguished by
nothing so much as his partisan rascality
IN connection with the shameless theft o
the presidency in 1876. His full reward
has been long in reaching him, but it has
come at last. 1t is not at all remarkable
that Europe, as she reads the American
press, daily freighted with scandal, sensa
ton, crime, official misconduct, should re
gard us as the worst sort Of people. 1t is tC
be hoped something will transpire which
will arouse determination on the part o
the voting masses to raise the standards
for qualification for office, and a state like
Texas, with personally honest and capable
officials and representatives should daily
congratulate itself. Nothing can more Sc
riously affect legislation or the great inter
ests of nation, than the personal charac
ter of its representatives, the men Wit
make the laws. Distinguished ability ever
does not exert half the influence, and it is t.
be regretted that so little of either qualifi
cation exists at present in this country. l
is disgracefully true that the only question
ever investigated with reference to. can
didates for official position is their fidelity
