POSTAL NOTES.
The Government Underbid by a Private
Firm.
Washington Special, 25th.

washington Special, 25tb.
The officials of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing are said to be exercised at
the fact that private firms have probably
underbid them for the engraving and
printing of the new postal note. The bids
have not yet been officially made public,
but it is pretty well understood that the
Homer Lee Bank Note Company, of New
York, is the lowest bidder, The other
competitors were the Government
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
the American Bank Note Company.
pany of Washington. Private firms hith-
ertO have objected to competition on the
part of any of the government depart
ments, for the reason that the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and the Govern
ment Printing Office, for instance, which
sometimes compete with private citizens
for government work, do not take into
consideration all the elements of
cost, which a private firm is required
to do. For instance, in bidding for
the new postal notes the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing was not obliged to
count as elements of cost rent. insur-
ance, repairs, machinery and fuel. All
these sums come out of general apprO-
priations. The system of government
bidding is to count simply the cost of the
material and the labor. 1t is therefore
such large expenditure as the engrav-
ing and printing of the new postal
notes private firm should have
been able to bid lower than a gov
ernment bureau. The result has given the
officials of the bureau much uneasiness,
and well it may, for if the bid Of the New
York company is bona ffde, which there
can be no reason to doubt, it can hardly
fail to show that the methods of admins
tration in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing are more expensive than they
should be. The bid of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing was not voluntary.
The law required that the bureau should
bid. Some years ago a very considerable
portion of the government engraving and
printing was done outside the Treasury
by private companies in New York. This,
within five or six years, has been discOn-
tinued for two reasons. First, it is claim
ed that the government has better securi-
ty if the work is done in Washington by
its own agents; second, that the govern
ment can do the work cheaper than pri-
vate individuals, inasmuch as it has such
large plant. The result of the bidding
on the postal-notes would seem to indi-
cate that large plant alone is not suffi-
cient to reduce the cost of engraving and
printing. The award of this contract will
probably be made next week. and of
course if the Homer Lee Company is the
lowest bidder it will receive the contract.

Statement from the National Com
mittee.
AtcAtn8on (KIan8as) Special, 24t1.

dickinson (hdRSGs) Special, 24th.
Col. John A. Martin, of this CITY, Sec
retary of the National Republican Com
mlttee, has received a number of letters
making inquiry concerning the next
meeting of the committee, and as to what
action had been taken looking to the Ma
tl0nal Convention of 1874. Replying to
these inquiries, he states that the com
mlttee will meet in Washington the 10Th
OF December next, to fix the date and
place for holding the convention. At the
last meeting of the committee held in
Washington IN January, the following
resolution was adopted:
ReSOtUed, That the call for the next Re-
publican National Convention shall be so
broad and liberal as to invite the cO-opera-
ton, without imposing anV other test of
all citizens who are in favor of elevating
and dignifyIng American labor, protect
ing and extending home industries, giving
free popular education to the masses Of
the people, securing free suffrage and an
honest count of ballots, and effectuallv
protecting all human rights in every sec
ton of our common country, and who are
willing to support the nominees of the
convention,
The committee also fixed the basis of
representation in the next national con-
Yention, and the manner of electing dele
gates by the adoption of the following
order:
The Republican National Convention of
1884 shall consist of four delegates-at-
large from each State, and two delegates
from each Congressional district. The
delegate-at-large shall be chosen by popu-
lar delegate State conventions called on
not less than twenty days published no.
tice, and held not less than thirty days
nor more than sixty days before the meet
ing of the National Convention. The Re-
publicans of the various Congressional
districts shall have the option of electing
their delegates at separate popular dele
gate conventions, called on similar notice
and held in districts at any time within fif-
teen days next prior to the meeting of the
State convention, or by such delegates
as shall be chosen. In the latter method,
if not elected previous to the meeting of
the State conventions, all district dele
gates shall be accredited by the officers of
such district conventions, Two delegates
shall be allowed from each Territory and
from the District of Columbia, similarly
chosen. Notices of contests may be given
to the national convention, accompanied
by full printed statement of the contest.
which shall also be made public. and
preference in the hearing and determin-
ing of contests shall be given contestants
according to the dates of the reception of
such notices and statements by the Ma
tiOnal Committee.

WUottpgtOt L-etttF+ 20 BOSTON ITUC6(l6P.
A gentleman here tells a story of how
Senator Jones'. of Nevada, made the foun-
dation of his immense fortune. Through
some chance man named Haywood,
who, by the way, was ''VermOnter," !"
became the associate Of Jones in mining
camp. Haywood had claim on the
mountain side which for long time did
not seem to amount to much. One day he
came to Jones and said that he was
''brOke," and wanted to borrow 81, 600,
promising to make both their fortunes.
Jones said that there were thousand
men in the mines who We're in exactly
the same fix, but he said he would
lend it to him upon the condition
that he should ask no more. Said
Jones: 81 will give YOU this money.
have $1,000 buried under the fireplace.
and when the fire goes out and my China
man leaves, | will get it for you" Hay
wood took the money and said, "When
strike 1t ! Will give you a quarter in
terest." Then he returned to his claim,
and Jones thought, of course, that he was
just $1,000 behindhand A month passed
by, when one evening Haywood burst
into Jones' cabin, perfectly wild with eX-
citement, and told him that he had struck
the richest vein that he had ever seen.
Both men ran to the claim, and Sure
enough Haywood had struck an immense
''bOnanza" or pocket of almost pure gold.
They sent for Eugene Kelly, at San Fran
cisco, the greatest mining expert of the
Pacific slope, and he at once pro-
nOunced it the richest mine in Cali
fOrnia. This mine was afterwards named
the New Amadnr, and is called the richest
gold mine in the world. Then Haywood
sold his property to Wells, Fargo and 9th
er capitalists for $4,000, 900, and on the day
of the sale he gave Jones 81, 1,250,O But
this was not all; one would have thought
that Jones would have been satisfied with
that, but he wasn't, and he afterward
quietly intimated to Haywood that he
would like another gift. This time it was
not money, but perhaps you can guess
what when I tell you that pretty Miss
HAYWOOD is now Mrs Senator ,Iones. =

DUBLIN, May 2S.-Michael Pagan. con-

since receiving his sentence has been
very attentive to the instructions of the
priests who have visited him. In
an interview recently with his rela-
tives he declared that he had not
hurt hair of Mr. Burke's head. His
mother, who was confident of the innO-
cence of her son, wrote to the Queen re-
peatlng this declaration, but her letter was
not answered. Canon Kennedy attended
the condemned man this morning. The
black Nag, announcing that the execution
mad taken place, was hOisted over the Jail
at O'Clock. A strong force of police and
military was present. Everything went
of quietly. A small crowd of persons
collected outside the prison, few of
whom knelt in prayer for the repose of
the soul of Pagan. The condemned man
was pale, but appeared to be resigned to

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Further infor-

Drum is disposed to credit the report that

and improbable. In the first place,
said Gen. Drum, "nO one understands In

self in a position where such a thing
would be possible. In the second place,
the Indian scouts left their wives and
children in the custody of the United

mutiny. even if so inclined, knowing that
their families were held as hostages, and
again, had such a thing happened, l

ATLANTA's THREE SENSATIONS
The Gas War-Nall's Attempted Suicide
and "a Penitentiary Scandal.


ATLANTA, May 2S.-Judge Hammond
to-day granted an injunction preventing
the City Council from interfering with
the new Gate City Gas Company in the
matter of laying pipes through the streets.
The City Council had refused this privi-
lege to the company because the city
owned large share of stock i'm the old
gas company. 1t is thought, however.
that the fight is not yet ended but will be
renewed in some other way.
Nothing new has transpired in the most
Office case that the public can get hold of.
The deficiency Will probably be made good
by Mr.. Nalls friends. RumOr saws that
he took poison with suicidal intent this
morning, but his family deny it and saw
that he simply took an Opiate to quiet his
nerves, which quieting process alarmed
them. Out of this they say grew the ru-
NOR that it was an attempted suicide.
1t Is bad case viewed in any aspect.
The Board Of Health deny that there is
any case Of smallpox in the city.
Governor Mcdaniel spent Sunday at
home, but arrifed. here this afternoon.
His attention was called to the drunken
ness and arrest of DIR. J. a. Nelms. son Of
Capt. Nelms, the principal keeper of the
penitentiary, in charge Of convict at
Macon, and the matter will no doubt be
fully invested, as several similar cases
have occurred.

COIUtHcNL.
There is evidently too much truth in
the oft-repeated assertion Of the Land
Leaguers that the present land act is a
farce, 4et it must be confessed that IT
was great way for the British Govern
ment to go. 1t is a very radical measure.
and by its interference with vested rights
Overturns, perhaps, more of the traditions
of the common law than any Legislative
measure ever before enacted, The simple
admission that the government can and
viii. under proper circumstances, inter-
fere between landlord and tenant, remit a
portion of the rent and compel the accent
ance of a price not the result of
contract, is one that may well
startle the student of English
law. But that this doctrine
should be affirmed by a British
Parliament, representing the governing
classes Of nation in which only little
better than one in thousand owns land
in fee-a country in which the farmer.
properly so styled, has become almost eX,
tinct by the absorption of the land bv large
estates-.seems altogether Incredible, So
far as the system of land tenure is a cause
of evil in Ireland, it is the source of like
evil in England. Indeed, it is probable
that the middle and lower classes of the
English land workers have been more en-
damaged in pounds and shillings by the
eXactiOns of the land-hOlding class than
Ireland herself. The evil has not hen
so acute, and the oppressed classes have
been better able to secure temporary
reliec by emigration. NevertbeIess
the evil is the same in character and the
ultimate danger the same. Already il is
asserted by careful. statisticians that one
in every sixteen 81 the inhabitants of
Great Britain is a pauper-at least re-
clplent OF some form Of public charity
The interference with the prescrintiye
right of the land lord in Ireland is only the
entering wedge. What is done, no matter
how languidly and indifferently in Ireland
to-day, must ere long be done thoroughly
and etfectually in England. That this
princlpie, lying at thevery root of all Eng.
lish Jurisprudence, should have been over
thrown and discarded in the attempt to
relieve Ireland should, at least, teach the
Irish people that brains are more effectuaI
for their cause than bombs or bludgeons.

RAILROADS AT WAR.
tracks and Rolling Stock Torn Up and
Ditched Repeatedly.


BUFFALO, May 2S.-A few days ago the
delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company obtained an injunc-
tIon restraining the Rochester and Pitts
burg Railroad Company from laying its
tracks over the Humphrey farm, a strip
OF land which the farmer had once intend
ed to utilize, but subsequently abandoned.
The main track and several switches
which had been laid by the latter were
then torn up and replaced with Lacka-
wanna rails. Yesterday afternoon 800
employees OF the Rochester and Pittsburg
Railroad were collected together, and with
the aid of five engines and cables they
dltched the cars Of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Company and relaid
their track, which was again torn up by
the Lackawanna Company.
Officer McAuliffe, who is emploved by
the Lackawanna Company, arrested JAS.
Martin, Road Master of the Rochester
and Pittsburg Road, and his brother
Thomas, as they were passing through
the engine house in order to direct the
men IN relaying the track outside. The
officer said that he had warrant, but
refused to show it. The Superintendent
OF Police ordered the men released, as no
charge had been preferred against them.
Ihey returned to the scene of action. and
once more relaid their track. large
Iorce OF men is now on guard to resist
an attack. The damage done is estimated
at $4,000
