The ottmnn comnrnmIse.

At last the story Of tho Ottman case is told.
minute in statement, and very persuasive in
its argument that testimony could not bo had
on which to convict Ottman. It appears that
Benjamin B. Halleck stole $4,000 from the
Treasury department, and that Ottman was
tho receiver of the stolen money Instead
Of securing Ottman's testimony against
Hallcck, tho department of Justice,
under former administration, agreed to let
tho thief go free If he would turn states evil
dence against the receiver! The jury would
not believe Halleck's story, in which he ex.
culpated himself and put the theft on an
imaginary person, and tho receiving of the
money upon Ottman. Mr.. Bliss reotes in de-
tail all the testimony, and says that nobody
connected with the court believes q convic-
tion possible. His statement that tho moral
atmosphere of the court and Jury room
is believed to be more favorable to
justice than it WIS at tho time of
the former trials" suggests the only
hope entertained by him; but that is offset by
the assurance that among others who think
no conviction can be had, "Mr Merrick who
defended Ottman, is confident that such a
result could not be obtained, and his judg-
ment is entitled to some weight, because ho
is careful not to say that the money is not in
fact the governments" The government ap-
pears to have considered it best to avoid o
lawsuit with Ottman for $4,000 of the money
stolen, he rolnquishing $1,000 and all claim
for damages, interest on the money, &c.
Special Attorney Bliss says, in brief, that the
government had seized its stolen property,
but could not prove ownership. Upon his
advice it gave up $4,000 to Ottman to avoid
lawsuit for the whole thus getting back
$l2,70O out Of tho $4,000 stolen. The only
alternative to this would have been Tor
Ottman to have been allowed to go on claim
ing all the money and to have tho Treasury
department sit down on him, as it has way
of doing when its ponderous and marble jaws
close upon money which other people errone-
ously think belongs to them. There is nc
evidence that Mr.. Bliss or any one else acting
for the department of justice was animated
by any other motive than to do the best hC
| could for the government

side will receive the hearty Endorsement Of
the Catholic laity irrespective Of nationality.
In this affair, where astuto diplomacy and
conservatism should be the guiding rules
Finerty pursues the same dovil-may. .caro
course that characterized his journalistic
crusade against the Indians undor Gen. Crook
in 1876. He is moro of Dennis Kearney
than a leader. When such man filings his
banner to the breeze with the motto of
Boycott, the Pope It can be seen at glance
that IL will not be long before he Is
hoisted on his own petard, Consequently,
when just and noble cause, such as the
liberation of the people in Ireland from their
bondage cannot receive the sanction of what
even Beecher terms the most conservative
force known TO man (the Catholic church),
then Il must be clear to tho dullest thinker
what course to pursue, In o word, Finerty
and his supporters have made a mistake, and
before the year has passed thoy will SEQ it."
"Do you think the cause will suffer If the
course outlined in tho circular is faithfully
carried out2"
"No; IL will be benefited. There is moth
ing in the circular TO which any man who
believes that proper and just course only
should be pursued in righting wrongs can
take exception. There is nothing disapproved
of by the pope in connection with the land
league movement excepting the dynamite
policy and refusal on the part of the Irish
members of parliament to condemn such q
proceeding He does not even approve or
disapprove of that in the circular; but says
no priest or bishop can belong to or counten-
ance an organization which does not condemn
agrarian outrages, and to this we all say,
amen.
"This fight between the pope and the Ma
tional Land league is an old one, but in new
and enlarged sphere. Tho Fonian movement,
which had for its objects the same aims a.
the league, sought to lberate Ireland outside
Of the sanction of the church and the CO.
operation of the clergy, but you know its
failure. Then tho Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans sought to have n combination of all
Irishmen in this country outside the
pale of the church for a like purpose
but after protracted .aud bitter
struggle the Hibernians consented to conform
to the regulations required of every Catholic
organization, and to-day they are in full ac-
cord with Catholic communion. So you can
readily SEQ that when tho thoughtful, just
and wise procamations of the pope to his
ecclesiastical household are placed beside the
incorporate edicts of Finorty and his lieuten,
ants, it is clear that the pope has the best o.
the argument. At least, that is my opinion

oLn sIlnEs.

How much n man is like old shoesl
For instance Both soul may lose
Both have been tanned both are made tight
BY cobbers; both got left and right;
Both need n mate TO be complete,
And both are made 10 20 on feet.
They both need heellng, Oft are solsd,
And both ia time turn all to mould.
With shoes the last is first with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended news
When men wear out they're mon dead too.
They both are trod upon, and both
win tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties and both incline
When polished in the world to shine;
And both peg out-and would you choose
To be man or be his shoes?

National Republican., 1883-06-08

IN an interview published in Tuesdays
Washington Post Gen. Ransom, the great boss
of North Carolina politics, delivered himself
in the following manner:
The people outside the state overlook the fact
that there are greater discussions in the repubi-
can ranks than in ours, for hundreds of republi-
cans last year refused TO vote the coalition ticket
But there can be no solid and conservative char
acter to the republican party in tho south Its
elements are bad and 1t makes discreditabe uses
of its opportunities. 1t seeks to disturb the nat
ural relations between labor and capital and In
stitutes the rulo Of tho discontented and turbu-
lent This is al false to the spirit of American busi
ness and progress, and 1t may be stated as q fact
that rep ublcans of character in the north, who
are not interested in the absolute partisan poll :
tics would not consent to see the south turned
over again TO their own party.
As the republicans who distrusted the Goa
lition are now substantially united with all
other anti-bourbons, the 343 bourbon majority
of last fall in North Carolina will not stand
much chance in 1884. fN'
The natural relations between labor and
capital were, in bourbon estimation, sadly
disturbed by tho abolition of slavery, but
"the rule of tho discontented and turbulent u
is that which calls itself democratic, and
governs by force and fraud against the ma
jority
The republicans of character in the
north" to whom Senator Ransom alludes as
being in such happy harmony with bourbon
despotism in the south, are well known and
well watched, and will not be allowed to do
the dirty work of the bourbon democracy
inside of the republican party.
