why Dorsey Wa. Terrified.

The Cleveland Pain Dealer hits the point
as to Dorsey's letters TO Garfield. General
Arthur, upon becoming President, did the
very things that Dorsey told Garfield he
should do-the things for not doing which,
the private secretary of Dorsey Is frank
enough TO say, Garfield was assassinaled. The
main matter il, that Garfield denied his
boss, and 30 was killed. Before his death
fine Stsr-route papers gave him fear

the idea of murder into the head OF Guiteau.
Dorsey, after protesting wildly sgsinst Mac
Veagh and james in private letters to Gar
field, which he has been 30 demented as 10
publish, rushed to the Republican Office after
the cabinet was confirmed, and poured out
his deep public confidence in the men he had
con6dentially attacked. This shows that
Dorsey was terrified. What was the matterl

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August 25.-As a
train containing two colored prisoners, Saw
age and james, reached Madison this morn
ing it was met by about 100 persons, twelve
or fifteen OF whom rushed into the train and
riddled the prisoners with bullets. The agent
of the railroad did not suspect any violence
until short time before the arrival OF the
train, when he attempted to telegraph each
way, but found the wires cut. He then ran
up the track and signaled the conductor not
to stop, but some one had boarded the train
and uncoupled the two rear cars. The pris-
oners had been convicted of the murder OF
Frank Patterson in February, 1881, at Mad
isop, in the room where testimony was being
taken in the contested election case of Bisbee
Us. Finley. A new trial had been granted by
the Supreme Court, and the prisoners We're
being conveyed from Tallahassee 10 Jasper
TO undergo that trial when murdered. There
is great excitement in Madison over the
outrage.

NEW SCHEME FOR EXTRACTING VOL
TARY CONTIBUTIONS.


TARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
WASHINGTON, August 25-Tbe Hubbell
Campaign Fund Committee has put into
operation new scheme for extracting "yol-
untary" contributions from the pockets OF
government employees. Agents of the COM
mittee have been detailed TO visit each OF the
several departments and personally solicit the
-rcqutrcd- his 9ozaas- znsuse At
once from every individual and has
brought many to terms who have
heretofore quietly ignored the invitation
contained in the Hubbell circulars. The
most unfortunate of all are those who were
appointed but a week ago in the interior
department. They had not been given a
chance TO draw even half q months pay
before being collared by the committees
agent and asked to subscribe two per cent.
Of their annual pay, although their APP
pointments were made for only ak months.
Some refused in desperation, others ex-
planned that they would have to go
home in October to vote, and this
would take every cent they could earn
up to that time. The majority, how
ever, quietly submitted and subscribed their
voluntary offerings. No arguments are used
by the agents, no appeals made, nor is sur.
prise manifested at refusal. The paper is
simply presented for signature to each one
in turn, but 30 powerful is the force of this
silent, but active presence, that most have
been brought TO terms. This is going on
under the direction of Secretary Henderson,
who, in the absence of Mr.. Hubbell, is push
ing the work in a manner that leaves nothing
for the heart of Mr.. Hubbell to desire.
