THE NEW ENGLAND MYSTERY.

On the first page of this issue we print a
portrait of Rose Amber, the victim of the
recent mysterious murder in Connecticut.
At this writing no arrests have been made,
and the perpetrators of the murder seem to
be involved in as much mystery and doubt
as on the first day of the investigation. On
Saturday several witnesses were examined
before the coroner's jury, relative to events
the Sunday night the unfortunate woman
met her death. The latest phase of the in
vestigation points to her lover, William
Lewis. as the the author of her murder.

The sTMAsTER-GENERAL AND THE
LoTTERIEs.-L4astW Wednesday, the follow
ing letter, which explains itself, was sent
from Washington by Postmaster-General
Gresham to the postmaster at New Orleans:
"Since you were instructed to deliver no
registered letters reaching your office adj
dressed to NJ. A. Dauphin, and to redeem no
money orders payable to him, he has direct
newspapers that all registered letters in
tended for him and concerning the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company be addressed
to the New Orleans, National Bank, at New
Orleans, and that all money orders sent to
your office for his benefit and concerning
the business of said lottery company be
made payable to said bank. am in pos
session of trustworthy information that
this bank has been and still is receiving
through your Office registered letters and
money orders for the benefit of NJ. A. Dau-
phin, in pursuance Of his published direc-
tions. This is defiant scheme on the part
of NJ. a. Dauphin and the New Orleans
National Bank to evade the orders which
have been addressed to you by the Post
master General in pursuance of the U. S.
statutes intended to protect the mails
and the public against business which Is
vicious and immoral, and which, in the
main, preys upon the ignorant and credu-
lous. This bank cannot be permitted to
stand in the shoes of NJ. A. Dauphin and
thus enable him to accomplish indirectly
what he is not allowed to do directly
Hereafter, therefore, you will deliver to the
New Orleans National Bank no registered
letters and redeem no money orders paya.
BILE to it, but deal with the same as directed
by the order of this Department of Novem.
Der 13, 1879. This order will be revoked
whenever the bank gives satisfactory evil
dence that it has abandoned the above
scheme"
In addition to the above, the Postmaster
General has issued supplementary lottery
order directing postmasters to Inform par
ties who remit postal money orders to NJ
a. Dauphin, of the Louisiana Lottery Com;
pany that the payment of such orders will
be returned to the senders. Postmasters
are also directed to return all registered
letters addressed to NJ. A: Dauphin to the
office in which they originated with the
word fraudulent" plainly written orstamp-
ed on the envelope.

SPARKLING CATAwBA SPRINGS.

Mr.. f. H. Abel, of Chester county, has
purchased the Sparkling Catawba Springs
in Catawba county, N. c., and will open
them the next season on a novel plan, which
he fully sets forth in an advertisement in this
weeks issue of the ENQUIRER. He pro-
poses to issue "Board Certificates" which
will be negotiable, and entitle the holder to
board at the Springs for four months each
year for six years at $15 per month. He
proposes to sell these certificates in advance
of the season and the money derived from
their sale will be used in the improvement
of the property. Mr.. Abel is very san
guine of the success of the scheme, fully
set forth in his advertisement, and to which
we would call the attention Of the public.

CHAMBERLAIN AND MALONE.

Ex-Governor Chamberlain, of South Car
olina, now in New York, has written long
letter to ex-Representative Dezendorf, OF
Norfolk, in regard to the situation in Nlr-
ginia. AS an explanation for discussing
the subject Chamberlain says he has, as a
Republican, earned the right to express his
views freely upon matters concerning the
welfare of the party at the South. lie then
charges that the issue of the Readjuster or
Malone party is an avowed and shameless
reputation and political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
its leaders, one of whom is the embodiment
of bossism. Malone, he says, is the prince
of hucksters in public office. ut is not"
Mr.. Chamberlain says, "to the advantage
e the colore6 people to ally themselves
with the Repudiationists and political pros
titutes. The men who court their votes
for such ends will surely abandon them
when their own selfish purpose requires it,"
This, however, is not the whole of the
situation in Virginia. The Democrats. ne
says, present a hardly more reputable front
on the question of public honor and good
faith towards public creditors. The only
course left to pursue is the one Dezendorf is
understood to be pursuing, a steady, un-
compromising opposition to both Mahone-
ties and Democrats. "If," concludes Cham
berlain, 'the Administration at Washing
ton is supporting or aiding Malone it is an
intolerable humiliation and wrong, and a
special offence against civil service reform" It"

AMERICAN BANKERS, ASSOCIATION.


The next session of the American Bank
ers' Association, will be held in Louisville,
KY, on the 10th and 1lth of October. Eve
ry bank and banker in the United States
will be invited to attend the convention,
and 5000 invitations have already been sent
out. The chairman of the convention will
be Mr.. George S. Coe, of New York, who IS
president of the association. The Secretary
of the Treasury, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, Comptroller of Currency, and Sec
retaries of State Of the various States, have
been invited, and favorable replies have
been received from large proportion of
them. Mr.. E. G. Spaulding, Of Buffalo;
General Echols, of Virginia; General Butts,
of Mississippi; Hon. w. G. Deshler, of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, and several members of Con-
gress are expected to take part in the pro-
ceedings. The programme has been ar
ranged by committees of arrangements that
have been meeting during the last two
weeks in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Louisville and other cities of the South and
West, as we'll as in New York and Boston.
The time for sending in papers on financial
questions has been extended, and several
reports have been received by Secretary
NIarshland upon the progress of banking du-
ring the last year in various sections OF the
country, upon the best method Of prevent
ing losses to banking and commercial indus
tries from the raising of checks, also upon
the growing tendency Of our banking sys-
tenn to increase its basis of capital since the
repeal of the tax on capital and deposits,
and upon the power of banks to prevent
panics. An important feature of the con-
vention will be the discussion Of these ques-
tions by extempore brief addresses, instead
of by long, elaborately written papers The
Masonic Temple will be used for the ses-
sions of the convention, and owing to the
exposition at Louisville, it is expected that
a large number of merchants will attend
the omen sessions

There is much righteous indignation
in several unorganized counties of Da-
kota because their rights under the laws
are denied them by the executive, who
refuses to appoint for them boards of
county commissioners, this being the
first step towards governmental organi-
zation. The general law provides that
when county contains fifty le.
gal voters they may petition the govern
or for tile appointment of three commits.
sioners and he is required to comply
with the petition. In numerous in-
stances the governor has violated
his PLAN duty and in the case of Faux
comfy, and other counties, he is still vic.
lating that duty. The county of Faulk
contains now as many as five hundred
voters. II possesses numerous growing
villages and has within Its boundaries q
large amount OF valuable personal prop.
erty. Yet 1t has no local government
and its affairs are becoming much com.
plicated in consequence. The answer of
the governor to all appeals for organiza-
ton is that he is waiting for the railroad
officials to decide about the propriety of
such a step. The people thus
inconvenienced, because of the unlawful
delay of the executive. are highly indig.
nant, but this does not improve their
condition. They must await the pleasure
of the authority which creates.
Roberts county, Sanborn county and
Jerauld county are all in like predica.
ment. Roberts county was created by
the last legislature from portions OF
Grant and Day counties and
the Sisseton reservation. The act
creating the county was approved
March 8, 1888. It empowered the
governor to appoint three commits.
sioners without delay, but he has not yet
complied with its provisions. Sanborn
county was established by the legisla-
ture and the vote of the people, it being
the west half of Miner county and, like
Roberts, contained sufficient number
of people the day it became county TO
entitle it to organization. The election
was held on the 1st of May and yet the
county remains unorganized. Jerauld
county was created by similar process
Its election for the ratification ol
the legislative enactment was
held on the 17th of Anr;l
It still remains without local govern.
ment.
There is some cause fo- this culpable
procrastination. The theory is that per.
sonal interests and private speculation
in town sites has much to do with long
deferred action. It is possible that the
courts might expedite matters. The
experiment is worth trying.

There is writer upon the Chicago
Times who deals exclusively in cold
blooded conclusions regarding Dakota
and Dakota's affairs. These conclusions
are based, not upon cold facts. but upon
the most sulphurous Interpretations
tbs not many weeks ago that this writer
assumed that all the region between the
james and the Missouri river which
grows thirty bushels of wheat and eighty
bushels of corn to the acre was an un-
productive desert. Having ruthlessly
disposed of Dakota's agricultural pros
poets he now assai.s its political future,
and in his treatment of this division of
his subject he exhibits fully as much
knowledge land not a particle more] as
was shown in his other dissertation upon
soil, climate, humidity, etc. The Huron
convention is his text and he opens his
alleged argument with the statement
that
The decision that the town of Bismarck shall
ne the seat oil provincial government in Dakota
has Occasioned an effort among the office hunt
ers and town-lot specula:ors in the southern
haif ot that province to resurrect the division
scheme. No osooner was the decision announc-
ed than amovement was begun by the disap-
pointed asp:rants to capitoline honors TO hold a
constitutional convention" to frame a new
charter. and petition congress to authorize a
state organization of the southern half of
Dakota Hereunder. The gathering for that
purpose is now sitting Mt Huron. an ambitious
village in the James river valley.
Had the Times writer been true to his
tory he would have stated that the
movement which brought about the HUI
ron convention began long before the
capital commission decided in favor o
Bismarck-that it began Immediately
after the governor refused to sign thu
bill passed hy the legislature authoriz
ing the calling of constitutional con
vention. He would have further statec
that Office hunters and town lot specu
lators we're all arrayed against the con
vention movement and ths
it was the anti.office hunt
ers and the anti town lot speculation
who made mp the Huron convention
The chief of the Office hunters and O
town lot speculators-N. G. Ordway-
was refused admission into that bod,
and all the gang who move at his in
stance we're given the cold shoulder.
The article which the Times puts fortl
covers Q column and all it's statement
are as untruthful and as fully unrel,abl
IS the ones quoted. 1t is au aggregatio,
of large words and conveys an intent t
belittle the efforts of 100000 people t
obtain the rights which would alread
be theirs but for the pernicious intiuenc
of such piratical publications as th
Chicago Times.

Governor Ordway. failing to secure an
audience at Huron, has addressed him
self to the people through the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. and that paper with its
usual avidity, takes in all the lying ut
terances Of Dakota's disgraced executive
and puts them forth as truths. The peo-
pie OF south Dakota have fight before
them-a fight against unprincipled car
pet bag officials and subsidized press.
The victory against such odds can be
secured by individual votes. The silent,
but convincing ballot, is the power which
asserts the rights Of man and maintains
the assertion. If the people go to the
polls Ordway and newspaper hunkyism
will be overcome.
