BOtkln's Blundef.

The following notice was served on
Marshal Botkin Saturday.
Aler. C Botkin:
SIR:-In January last I received notice
from you that you would contest my
election. The charges were vague and
general, the notice in that respect illegal,
and it might have been passed without
farther attention. Desiring that the
allegations made by you might be judic-
tally investigated, I accepted service.
Subsequently at your request I agreed
to extend the time for taking testimony
so that the forty days allowed you might
begin on June 18th. In the interval
courts were held in all the counties en-
braced in your complaint. The Judges
were especially specific in their charges
to the grand juries in regard to illegal
voting and alleged fraudulent election
practices, the United States and Ter. Dis
trict Attorneys were active in the prose-
cution Of their duties, your deputy mar:
shals and special agents of the DEPART
ment of justice. were certainly endeavor-
ing to work up some case in your inter-
est, and the result of it all was that not
one single voter out of the 1888 who
voted for illegal voting, and no election
officer impeached. On the contrary,
the only indictment for illegal voting
was found against Riell, who managed
the British half-breeds in your interest.
After so signal failure on the part of
yourself and associate officials, to find
even the shadow of a justification for
the charges with which you sought to
cover the modification of defeat, sup
posed that common manliness would
prevent me from furthar annoyance.
But you chose to avail yourself Of your
time to take testimony. Busted with
duties of importance to the Territory
have had no time to give personal atten-
ton to the matter, but / am informed
by the attorneys who attended and cross
cAdIuluCu yOuT WlSuCcSCo O0iIfAe yoei Aou
completely failed to impeach even one
single vote Of all the majority against
you; that you have made no case or
shadow of case for me to meet. There
fore this is to notify you that l waive
my privilege of taking testimony, and
the time allotted h. law for my side
of the case. l submit it on the Erpate
testimony that you have taken, and on
your own showing leave it to the decis-
ion of the House, confident that among
the honorable Republican and Democra-
tic gentlemen who will compose the
House of Representatives and its election
committee there will be no divided
opinion as to the right or the decency
of the sQ-called contest that you have
chosen to enter for my seat in the Con-
press of the United States.

Delegate in Congress.

satisfied with the result of the Republican
convention in that State. The Times says:
1.-THE Republican State convention did a very

own courageously and nominated ticket
that is not only negatively respectable, but
positively creditable and in all respects de-
serving the confidence of the party and the

and of all sizes, seem to be doing very well
this year. This is a Republican year.

Mr. BERGH, of New York city, has noticed
that the horses which are used by the govern
ment contractor in carrying the mails to and
from trains are driven at speed which. he
regards as highly reprehensible. Not wish
ing to interfere rashly with the United States
mails, Mr.. Bergh wrote letter to the Post
office Department calling attention TO the
matter. He has received reply, in which
he is very respectfully informed that the
Postmaster-general has no power to correct
the matter, with the further information
added that ''if a failure to perform the service
results from abuse of animals, or any other
cause, such action will then be taken as the
facts may warrant" The average mind
would gather from this that if the horses do
not travel fast enough they must be made to
go faster, even if they should trample the
feelings of the S. P. c. A. to dust Mr..
Bergh has the letter under advisement.

CONFLICTING decisions have been rendered
as to what constitutes obscene matter relat-
ing to its transmission through the mails.
A fortnight ago Commissioner Bright dis
charged from custody John P. Doyle, of
Oneida, N. Y, who was charged with send
ing obscene letters to a married woman. The
Commissioner held that while there could be
no doubt that Doyle wrote the letters, the
mailing OF them sealed was not an offense
within the statute. Judge Deady's decision
in the case of the United States against
Looms was quoted as authority. In direct
conflict with this, on Thursday last, at Utica,
N. Y, Commissioner Dennison, in the case of
the Rev. John P. Lichtenberg, charged with
a similar offense, the obscene writing being
addressed to a man, held Lichtenberg for
trial. While there may be some technical
question as to the guilt of such offenders in
violating the postal laws, there can be none
as to their offense against the law of moral
ity and against the decency which the stat
ute was passed to protect. 1t would be very
unfortunate should it be decided that any
wretch who so desired could write obscene
matter to another, and especially woman,
bringing him to justice.

prominence and persistency with which his
name has been mentioned of late in the
papers Pictured by his advised friends, he
is hale and hearty, but as free from
the presidential fever as though
it had never been mentioned
in connection with his name.
Other friends, not of the inner circle OF Mr..
Tilden's circumspect confidence, taking as
sincere his alleged refusal to run, have
pictured him as decrepit, disappointed
and soured old man. But Tilden still lives,
and will be on hands from now until after
the Democratic convention meets in 1884.
A week will not be allowed to pass without
some mention of him in connection with the
nomination. In event that he is named, the

and that of fraud" taken up. 1t would be
a great relief to Democrats like Watterson.

GENERAL STEEDMAN, new chief of police
of Toledo, O., has set his face against ball
playing on Sunday within the city limits"
Current Item.
General Steedman is not the 'new' chief
of police OF Toledo. He has been the chief
for some time and has honored the Office.
He has very different ideas of his duty from
those entertained by the chief of police in
indianapolis, though both have been soldiers
and both are Democrats. General Steedman
was chief of police when the Smith Sunday
closing law was passed, and one Saturday he
was waited upon by delegation Of the To-
'ledo saloon-keepers, who blandly informed
him that they had determined to disregard
the law the next day, and had called simply
to let him know so that he might not trouble
The General listened to his visitors patiently,
and when they were through briefly re-
marked that the law said the saloons should
close on Sunday; he had nothing to do but to
see that the law was enforced, and by the
Eternal Tor words to that effect, but some
what more commonly it would be enforced
Jail before the next night if they disobeyed
it, if it took every militiaman in the State
of Ohio to do it. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that no Toledo saloons were opened the
next day. That is the kind of chief OF
police General Steedman u.s.

THE substantial benefits of the Scott law
are already apparent. Money is coming
into the treasury in a manner very crafty
ing to all taxpayers. In Hamilton county
alone the amount realized from the saloons
through the operation of that law will
amount to $4,000 more than enough to sup
port the poor of the city (Cincinnat) and
county. Here is practical way of dealing
with the liquor traffic. 1t seems next to inn
possible in enforce prohibition; so that after
the lapse of certain length of
time, necessary for the novelty of such law
to wear off, there is almost or quite as much
liquor sold under prohibitory laws as
under license. The injustice wrought by
such condition of affairs is quite apparent.

causes so much of the public expense
escapes its just proportion. The advantage
of statute like the Scott law has been APP
parent from the day it was pronounced con-
stitutional and began its work The revenue
derived from the saloons has filled the public
the public poor, and will relieve other
branches of business from just that much
expense, which never properly belonged to
it. 1t will be dangerous experiment for
any party to attack that law. The Scott law
will remain unrepealed.
