DIBBLE'S LAST AND DESPERATE RESORT
iBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRrBUNE.l


WASHINGTON, April 1,-Samuc Dibble Of South
Carolina, who occupies the seat in the House of
Representatives which rightly belongs to Colonel
Mackey, has, it is understood, devised a new
scheme by which he hopes 70 prevent the rghtful
owner from obtaining it. By one lame excuse
after another Mr.. Dibblc succeeded for weeks
in pOstponng the arguments and preventing
action in the case of Mackcy against OConnor, a
decision Of which in Mackey's favor would Ou't
Mr. Dibbe. The Committee on Elections finally be-
came weary of Dibbles pretexts to gain delay and
pcremptorly required that the case should be
argued and submitted on its merits.
No sooner had this been done than Dibble OBJ
tanned leave Of absence for ten days and started
for South Carolina. The purpose Of Mr. Dibble's
journey has been disclosed by of his friends IN
Washington. Il may he remembered that about
six weeks ego Dibble fled with the Com
mttce on Elections motion to strike
from the record all the testimony in the
Mackey- Connor case, on the ground that Mackey
had surrcpttiousiy altered the same, adding to some
portions and suppressing other parts after it left
the custody of the officer by whom it was taken.
In short, the allegation was that Mackey had dclib-
erately falsied the recoid. In support of his mo-
ton Dibbe filed certain pdrte aidayIts. The
committee was inclined to lock upon the motion as
only another of the subteruges to gain delay in
which they had found Dlbblc so prolific, but
Mackey was. nevertheless. required to show cause
why the motion should not be granted.
He did 50 by filing overwhelming
mass OF proof to show the iasiy Of Dibbles alega-
tions and the motion dismissed.
But MI Dibblc hopes TO he more successful before
a South Carolina Court, and it is said upon trust
worthy authority that he has gone to South Caro-
lima to attempt to the Indictment of Mackey
for subornation of perjury or some other crime on
testimony similar to that which lie submitted to the
Elections Committee. If he shall succeed in this he
poets to have warrant issued for Mackey's arrest,
and then TO secure a rcqniSiton from Governor Ear-
good TO compel his return to South Carolina. On ac-
count of the heated condition OF affairs in South
Carolina usod h. the pubccticE Cf Attorney Cen
era Brrwsters letter. and the beginning OF the elec-
ti0n trials in Charlie son next week, Dibbe probably
feels tOlerabv certain Of success. II is account
of frauds perpctraed in the Charleston district at
the election of $50 that some of the persons who
are to be tried next week were indicted, and some
of the record evidence to be used by the United
States District-Attcmey in prosecuting those per-
sons has also been uscd by Mackey in prosecuting
his contest here. This fact will not make it any
more difficult for Dihble to warrant for the
arrest and extradtion of Colonel Macey, II he shall
make the attempt.

lpY CABLE TO TIE TRIBUNE.l

LovDoN. April 1.-The public treat with inditier-
ence the demands affecting Dr. Lamson and
Sweeney. The best and general legal opinion is
that few cases Of circuns!antial evidence have ever
been known where guilt has been more conclusively
established than in the Lamson trial. The action
taken in America has created surprise because tie
points now urged seemed to be little justified dur
ing the trial. Whether Dr. Lanson Is drunkard
or an opiumclter. or whether the administration Of
poisous in practice his craze ii was clearly es-
tablishcd that the crime was carefully premedi-
tated and deliberately carried ont. There is always
large amount Of sympathy for persons under sem
tence Of death. DR.. Lamson has aroused compara-
tiYelY little.

siR. L0wELL's COURSE.

Az 10 the Irish-American suspects, it is con-
sidered here that Mr.. Lowell has already
made every effort consistent with diplo-
matte usage, and it is much more
delicate subject than the Irish party in America can
possibly know. Dublin Castle has been more exact
ing as to the evidence against suspects OF American
birth than in any other cases. Mr.. Forster is the
last man to move finger TO disturb the good rela-
tions between the United States and England The
testimony against Sweeney is SO strong that if he
be released nearly every other suspect must be re-
leased also Sovereign States usually careful to
avoid questioning another's criminal jurisdiction
in its territory. Whenever that policy IS adopted
influence is exercised privately. That has been al
ready done with great tact. The public diplomatic
rcrnonstrances are obviously meant to favor the
Irish party in the United States. from whom come
the sinews of the Socialist campaign. They will do
more harm than good, and perhaps will lead tc dip
lomatc retaliation.

A NEW PENSION BILL.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-Senator Platt recently re-
ported a bill from the Committee Pensions to In
crease the rate of pension for total disability from
$50 10 So amonth. Thisis commented uponin some
quarters rs another sweeping pension law, similar
in the feature of reckless extravaganza to the Ar
rcars BILL though involving a smaller amount of
public expenditure. An examination of existing
pension laws shows that the bill is just and neces-
sary one In 1874 Congress passed an act provid-
ing that all persons who had been so much disabled
as to require the regular personal aid of an at
tendant by the loss of both eyes or both hands, or
both feet, by any injury resulting in total per-
manent helplessness, should be entitled to n pen
sion of 900 month.
In 1878 an act passed increasing the rate of
pension for the loss of both hands, both feet both
eyes to $72. By an act passed i'll June of 1850 all
persons who by tho act of 1874 received $50 a
month were entitled to S72 tn, but this act
was not retrospective; that is persons who were
then receiving pensions at the rate of $50 were en-
titled to receive $72 thereafter, but pensioners
whose claims not passed upon before that time
receive only 500. Ii thus became necessary to re-
peal the law cutting down the old pensioners to $50
or pass bill increasing the RI on all claims for
the same kind of disability TO the same rate. II Is
probable that the great majority of totally disabled
claimants secured their pensions long ago. and the
number OF beneciaries OF the present law must be
cOInDaratiyely small
