A FATAL BLOW.
A CO1Ored Man Dies from Injuries IN

the Coroner.

A CoIOred Man Dies from Injuries In
fiicted by an Unknown Hand-AetiOn oil
the Coroner.
Coroner Sheftall held an inquest yester-
day at the MOrgue for the purpose OIL as
certaining the facts connected Win the
death of John Mercer, cOlOred, who died
dav or two ago from the effect of injuries
received on the night of the 18th instant
by being struck on the head by a missile
thrown BY some unknown party While
the deceased was in the vicinity
of Chatham Hall. The evidence disclosed
the fact that Mercer was recently from
Charleston and had not been in an alter
cation during the evening when ne was
injured. 1t showed that party named
Charles Williams, while standing near
the hall, was struck by missile and that
Mercer. who about that time was leaving
the front of the hall, returned and appa-
rently satisfied Williams that he mad not
assaulted him. Later, when Mercer was
in the open square not far from the build
ing. he was struck in the head with a
stone or brick, and the injuries finally re-
suited fatally.
The Coroner arrested Edward Martin,
Phillip Quincy, Charles Williams, John
Jones, John StrObart and Peter jackson
as witnesses for the state, but on their
appearance yesterday the testimony they
gave was not sufficient to lead to the
Identification of the party who
committed the assault, and they We're
discharged. The evidence also showed
that Charles Williams and the deceased
had no quarrel but were on good terms.
! The Jury remained in session until about
half-past nine O'Clock last night, when
they returned verdict TO the effect that
the deceased died from the effects of inju-
ries committed by a party unknown TO the
Jury. and that they believe it was murder.
Coroner Sheftall states that he is not in
/ possession of the name of the party who
/ is supposed TO have committed the as
sault. but that he has a description of
him, landscapes to succeed in effecting his
arrest.
The remains of Mercer were inferred

N. 4. ITutn.
Mr.. Merricks closing appeal against Brady,
Dorsey h Co. Is regarded by several Republi.
can journals ae an impartial presentation OF
tho Governments case. On the contrary,
Truth, who has followed 1t through the re-
ports OF the Washington journals, pronounces
Mr.. Merrick's appeal-and he represents the
Attorney -General-one OF the bitterest
speeches ever made outside of evidence, aud
as mainly an appeal to the passions and pre-
judices Of the jury.
Here is an extract proving this allegation:
"When the people learned OF the facts in this
case they were ughast, and the wild shout
went out: Let Justice be done, though the
heavens fall.' II was not poisoned public
opinion, but q long.settled conviction of the
guilt OF these defendants. People listened ut
the end OF the electric wire TO sec whether 1t
was possible TO get Jury in Washington to
convict man who had been great, and was
still rich. They were anxious to learn II this
city was indeed the centre OF iniquity; II the
tribunals OF justice were all poisoned, and IL
inianity might hold high carnival unwhipped
by the lash of the law"
Is not that direct 'lugging" in.of outside
pressure-that talk about "the people," "wild
shout and epublic opinion?" Is there not
here direct intimatfon TO the Jurors that, IL
they did not convict, they would dlsappoint
public expectation?
Brady and Dorsey may bo guilty, but tho
Bliss.ful mallgnancy with which they have
been pursued outside OF evidence is unpar-
alleled in the.hlstory OF public prosecutions
outside OF England In the reign of James, or
Ireland under all administrations.

Henry WattersOn.
The House will be organized with tho elec.
tion OF q revenue reform Speaker, who VIII
appoint revenue reform Ways and Means
Committee. This committee Will bring In a
bill revising the tariff on the idea Of revenue
exclusively. There will be q discussion In the
House and Senate on the bill, which Will prac.
tically go over tho ground on which the next

glst OF the bill and tho kernel of the discus
sion Will be the chief plank In the Democratic
platform. 1t is Just as certain that tho fight
Will be on the question OF tariff for

The hullaballoo about the Kentuckians fall
Ing TO come up to the issue in the recent State
convention IS nonsense. The planks OF 1876
plain tariff for revenue only proposition
and 1SS0-which was the same thing little
differently stated-were readopted. There Is
some objection TO that phrase, and 1t is not
mine. The fundamental doctrine OF tho Dem
ocratic party on economic questions is that all
taxation must bo exclusively for the support
OF the Government. For that principle, put
in whatever mere words you choose, the bat
tie OF 1884 will be fought by the Democracy

The Randall Republicans.

N, \. World.
The Republican journals are almost unani
nous in their support OF Randall for Speaker.
AS the Republicans cannot elect Speaker
Inconsistencies, indeed, they should prove
their consistency by supporting Randall
by their votes as they do through their or
gans-they are evidently desirous of doing
tho best they can by getting the Democrats to
elect Speaker who commands Republican
sympathy.
II Is fortunate for Mr.. Randall that he gets
this warm support from Republican papers.
He gets none from single Democratic paper
ofany influence In any part of the country.
II is probable that the Republicans know
very well what they are about when they en-
deavor to aid Mr.. Randalis canvass. 1t might
be supposed that their support was given to
him because of the services he rendered In SO.
curing the success OF the infamy by which the
Presidency was stolen from Mr.. Tllden and
made over to the fraudulent Hayes. But the
Republicans, although they rewarded
the thieves in this instance. are not
distinguished for gratitude for favors past
The secret ofsthe Republican enthusiasm for
Randall may therefore be looked for In his
former course as Speaker, In his position as q
Pennsylvania protectionist and In favors
which he Will be in a condition to renew to
the monopolists II he should again possess the
power.
1t is always wise to take the road directly
opposite TO that the accompllces of highway
men point out. In proportion to the Repub.
lican desire to secure Mr.. Randalps services
as Speaker should be the Democratic determi-
nation to refuse him the position.

Cruel treatment of Brewster.

w
The Attorney General has been scratching
his head and knitting his brows for two days
In much perplexity over the knotty question
referred to him by the Civil Service Commits
sion. He cannot make up his mind as to the
true Interpretation to be placed upon that
clause Of the CivilService bill which provides
that when two persons OF one family are en-
ployed In the civil service of the Government
no other member of that family shall be ellgt-
BILE to appointment. Although, of course, not
so intended by the Commission, the reference
of this question to the Attorney General for
determination puts that worthy functionary
In an awkward and uncomfortable predica-
ment. There is probably no member of the Ad.
ministration whose family branches, direct
and collateral, ''slsters, cousins, aunts," are
better provided for in the matter of Govern
ment appointments, and 1t is cruel to ask him
in cold blood for n decision which may result
in compelling some of these to go out in the
world and earn their living like other people.
on the principle that excuses judges from sit.
ting In cases where they are personally inter-
ested the Attorney General might quite
properly decline to conetrue the clause re-
ferred TO him, and appoint special assistant
United States Attorney for that purpose. No
doubt he could obtain eminent ability for q
much less per diem than he is paying to Mr.

WE HAVE suggested that the time for
the Government to entertain proposition
to compromise the ottman case had not ar
rived when the Government laid down its
arms and acknowledged humiliating de-
feat. The opinion of every person affect.
ing to represent the Government in the
surrender was that 0ttman's custody of the
money was felonious one. The proof ad-
duced at the trials on the Indictment would
almost certainly have determined civil
case in favor OF the Government. If there
was an honest purpose to recover the
money, why were the only means through
which that could have been accomplished
never resorted to? The acquisition of the
difference between the amount Of money
that was stolen from the Government and
the sum returned to the Government may
have constituted the motive for compound
ing felony. This suggestion may not be
charitable, bat it Is logical.
What became Of that difference? The
publication of the official correspondence
concerning this iniquity aggrayates popu'

The Next Presidential Campaign


''The way l Wow the situation for the next
Presidential campaignis is this: The majority
OF the people OF the United States are tired Of
what you might call Republican bossism, but
don't think yet that we can be trusted. We
have majority Of the next Congress, and the
result will depend upon what we do. If we
organize and go honestly to work to legislate
for the good OF the whole country, put down
monopolies without disturbing industry, carry
genuine reform of the civil service into
effect and keep clear Of the idea that
power is to be used only to
reward political friends, we will elect
the next President. The contest Will be one
of ideas Of this character, and Will not be af-
fected by the difference of opinion on tho
tariff. Personally, 1 am liberal trader;
some OF my friends believe In protection;
but these things Will not influence us much.
The vital questions are so great that do not
care TO speak about men. There Isn't any
one man big enough to stand for them-no
one. who towers over the other so greatly
that he can be looked upon as the only lit man
to represent the principles now at issue. In
fact, in the real sense Of the word, there is no
leader Of Democracy to-day"

Not "a Case for Compromise.

n. Y. Herhlu tU'uhy.
The compromise made by the Government
with Ottman is questionable transaction.
The matter is a good deal mixed up, but II is
certain that S47, 900 were stolen from the Gov
erDment, and that Ottman was accused of hav-
Ing received the stolen money, of which &c.,
900 were seized by the Government officers
and $4,000 attached in bank. Ottman has
been tried twice, but without being either con.
victed or acquitted.
1t is claimed that whether he Is innocent or
guilty thereis now no hope of convictlng him
in the criminal case and little chance OF sue
ceeding in the civil suits brought against him.
Therefore a compromise was effected by
which he gives to the Government the $4,000
attached in bank, and the Government restores
TO him the $4,000 1t seized Either the Gov
ernment was right and had just claim to all Of
the money, or 1t was wrong and had no claim
to any of 1t. 1t should have returned all or
none. 1t was not G case for compromise.
