One Way of Playing Poker

William Petty was arrested yesterday
for creating a disturbance in an uptown
saloon, He was taken to the city Jail, and
upon being searched there was found
upon him, among other things, two United
States coins mutilated in a most peculiar
manner. one was a $40 gold piece and
the other was silver dollar. Upon one
side of each coin was followed out place
nearly equal in size to a So piece, In this
was fitted a couple of springs which con-
nected with a sliding piece of the rim, and
which were intended to hold within this
hollow a small mirror; thus, while lying
undetected on the table at an angle of
fortv-ive degrees, behind stack
of similar coins, in front of
the dealer, the latter could, by little
easily acquired skin, know by means of
the mirror to a certainty every card held
bv any or all of his opponents. A man
who Should chance to play in any game
where this little racket was being
worked by a successful ''greek" would be
absolutely giving his money away, with
ont even having the excitement of posi-
BILE chance for winning. The game is not
unknown to professional gamblers, but
probably is to the general public. The
coins in the possession of Petty had evil
IDENTIFY never been used, and some little
fault about them brought the conclusion
that they had only just been made. The
work was evidently done by jeweler or
some other skilled mechanic, as a novice
could not have prepared them so neatly.

E1itabIe Freight Tariffs.

The question OF discriminating against
Savannah IN the matter of freights from
competitive points, which has been at
tributed to the pooling system, and which
has been the subject of discussion by the
press and the people for months past, is,
we understand, in a fair way OF adjust
ment, so as to give our city the benefit of
the many advantages which she enjoys by
reason Of her short railroad lines through
the cotton belt and her geographical posi-
ton as an outlet to the North and Europe.
The Central Railroad has become fully
aroused to the necessities of the situation,
and the question of equitable freight
tariffs as between the country tributary
to this port and to other ports, has been
referred to board of arbitration, of which
Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Of Boston,
has been chosen umpire. The discussion
of the question and the proper under
standing of it by all parties in interest
has, we understand, already had good
effect upon the future business prospects
Of our city.

Mr.. Paync's Read Bill.


Mr.. Payne. of CatOosa county, has in
troduced a substitute for Mr.. Russelrs
road bill. which we noticed yesterday.
The substitute differs very materially from
the original bill. The substitute author
ICES the grand jury of each county to
elect five Commissioners of Roads, who
shall serve four years. These Commits
siOuers are to constitute board
and have the general management
Of all the roads in the county. They are
to elect a Superintendent and Treasurer
for the county, and three Road Commits
sioners for each militia district. The
Board of Commissioners are to assess the
number of DAYS that each person liable to
road duty is to work. Anyone who doesn't
want to labor on the roads can
escape that duty by paying fifty
cents for each day assessed against him.
The Superintendent has the right to work
on the roads all cOnyicts of the county
sentenced for offenses less than a felony.
The District Commissioners are to eX-
anime the condition of the roads in their
respective districts and see that the work
on them is properly performed. They
are not to be subject TO
assessment while acting as commits
si6ners. No provision is made for any
road tax. This is only brief outline Of
the bill. 1t does not seem to us TO be as
satisfactory as the bill of Mr.. Russell.
There is too much machinery connected
with it, and, besides, there rs too much
opportunity for fayoritism. There can
be no satisfactory Improvement of the
roads without a road tax. The prObabili-
ties are that this important matter of
framing a road law has been left until too
late in the session. Time and discussion
are required to frame a law of this kind
that will meet the needs of the State.
Why so important a measure has been
neglected until the Legislature is about
ready to adjourn, is difficult to under

The Secretary of the Treasury. as an
nOunced in our dispatches yesterday, has
issued a call for Sl5.O00,000 OF , per
cent. bonds. This is the first call for
bonds of this class. The 80 per
cents. were exhausted by the last call.
Ii is evident that we are paying off the
national debt at pretty rapid rate.
When the bonds of this last call shall
have been cancelled $47, 600, 900 of the debt
will have been paid in six months. At
this rate. $94. O0O.O0 a year, all the bonds
subject to call before 1891 Will be cancelled
i'm little more than three years. The
government can, of course, go into the
market and buy its bonds at the ruling
rate That it will hardly do, because of
the high premium. Unless there are very
great reductions in the tariff and internal
revenue taxes. however. we shall have Il
surplus Of 800 100000 or more a
year. What is to be done with il?
No party will take the responsibility of
applying it to building navy or to i'm
proving the rivers and harbOrs OF the
country In fact, it could not be well eX-
pended on either or both of these objects.
1t would not do to store it in the Treasury
because. being drawn from the capital of
the country, it must get back into circu-
Iation, otherwise there would be such a
stringencV i'm the money market as
would prove disastrous to business
interests. 1t is clear that the tariff
and Internal Revenue taxes must be
greatly reduced. There is no great occa-
sion for any further reduction of the
debt. 1t is not now felt as Il burden. 1t
is the basis of our national bank
system which, Notwithstanding all
its enemies say against it,
is the best the country ever had. With
the national debt the national banks must
20. 1t will be urged that party interests
are against any disturbance of the tariff
this winter, but those who use this argu-
ment do not rightly understand what the
best interests of the Democratic party re-
quire That which is best for the people
and the country is best for the interests OF
the Democratic party.

What Mr.. Blaine is Doing.

II. H. RdmsdeU IN the PhitddeLphtG Press
What has Mr.. Blaine been dong? When
he left Mr.. Arthur's Cabinet he kept as
quiet as "a mouse, and he has not once
since that time Obtruded himself on the
public. He has made no speech, he has
had no interviews, he has posed at no re-
ceptions, he has declined all public inyi-
tations, he has kept away from big dim
ners, and he has in every way most indus
triously minded his own business. On
two or three occasions, as | happen to
know, he could have made a sensation
had he chosen to speak. He has built his
big house and furnished it most exquisite
w, he has worked four or five or six hours
a day on his book and correspond
ence, he has taken his long walk in the
morning and his long drive in the after
noon, he has gone to bed early and had his
eight hours sleep, and been in splendid
health and spirits the whole time. AS to
the question of his own candidacy for the
Presidency, he was absolutely impatient
at the suggestion. He has always said
that he was never so happy and contented
in his life; that he had not care in the
world, and that he never wanted to enter
pnblic life again. In the face of the fact,
which cannot be denied, namely, that Mr.,
Blaine has more friends than any public
man in the country, he will not allow
delegate to be elected in his name, nor
will he discuss the question of his candi-

If the New York Sun doesn't stop fool
ing with William Steele Holman as a
Presidential candidate it may be caught
again as it was in 1872. In 1872 it ran
Philosopher Greeley, Farmer Greeley and
DIR. Greeley for President as matter OF
amusement for some months, and finally
it found Greeley a nominated candidate
and the SIN compelled to support him for
want of some other place to 90. It's

The New York Herald seems to recOg-
nize that Editor Dana, Of the San, is
troubled by the buzzing of the Presiden-
tiaI bee in his bonnet. 1t takes occasion
TO give him a word of advice. I'm some
quarters says the Herald, 1--WE observe
a certain disposition to call well known
Northern journalist to the second place
on the Democratic ticket. \ number of
our contemporaries discuss more or less
pleasantly the nomination Of Charles 4.
Dana, of the Sun, to the Vice Presidency,
and the Sun itself seems to daily with this
suggestion in occasional articles assert
ing the right of journalists to accept pub
lie office. We entirely agree with the Sun
about this, but respect for the profession
leads us to the belief that Mr.. Dana ought
10 have the Presidential nOminatiOn-the
first and not the second place on the
ticket. Whether he would accept it is
another question; but if he is thinking of
entering political life we are persuaded
he should in any case refuse the second
place."

Now if is S25. Efforts have been made
for several years to secure reduction IN
the fees of our Patent Office, but without
success. The patent attorneys were
more influential with Congress than the
inventors. There is no occasion for such
enormous fees as are now collected. Last
wear the receipts Of the Patent Office
above expenses were over half a million
Of dollars. and there is, besides, to the
credit ofthe Patent Office in the Treasury
the sum of s.. 800 900.
