Ex-senator Kellogg and his friends are
attempting to break the force of James B..
Prices testimony before the grand jury.
They ale making the absurd assertion
that Merriek and Ker of the government
counsel, who are democrats, are persecut-
ing Kellogg for political reasons, and they
charge that Price, who is also democrat,
has become a mere tool of Merrick and
Ker. Kellogg thinks that by the TACTICS
adopted he can stir up republican
sympathy in his favor. The fact is that
John A. Walsh, who is straightout re-
publican, is the man who brought Kel-
logg into trouble. Nearly a year ago
Walsh charged Kellogg with completely
with the star route cOnspirators, and last
year he laid before two grand juries
nearly all the evidence which was put be-
fore the existing jury last week, but for
some remarkable and still unexplained
reason those two grand juries, while max
ing presentments against Brady and
Price. permitted Kellogg to escape. 1t is
said that some of the grand jurors were
reluctant to believe Walsh, and that they
were encouraged by George Bliss to dis
credit Walsh's testimony. But every inn
portant statement made by Walsh having
been confirmed under oath by Price. the
grand jury could not possibly do other
wise than to bring in a presentment
against Kellogg The case against Kel
loggis regarded by government counsel
as exceedingly strong. He asks the pub
lie to suspend judgment until after he has
made statement wherein, he says, he
proposes to set forth the motives of
the persecution to which he has been sub
jected.

THE sENAroR FROM LOUISIANA
From the St. Louis Republican.

The indictment of Senator Kellogg OF
Louisiana by the district grand jury at
Washington city adds another to the scan
dalously long list of dishonored repubIi-
can statesmen, and also to the long list OF
carpet baggers who have been brought to
Disgrace. Kellogg Is a Republican favor
ite and prOtege. He halls from Illinoi S,
and, Ikea good many other characterless
adventures, went TO Louisiana during the
reconstruction period to assist in placing
the state in the traces of loyalty, and to
make his fortune He had the good luck
to secure the favor of the Grant admins
tration in this precious enterprise-and
for a time it went on .swimmiugly Under
this distinguished protectorate. Presi-
dent Grant used the army in Louisiana TO
impose him as governor upon an unwill-
ing people; and. subsequently, he pre-
tended to be elected senator by the self
same process that elected Packard
governor and gave the electoral
vote of the state to Mr.. Hayes in 1876
1t was the queerest transaction that
ever occurred in American politics. N1r.
Hayes, Kellogg and Packard all stood to-
gether on precisely the same footing. The
claim of each was just as good, and just
as bad as that of the others. The three
q
This fraud made Hayes President of the
United States. and, by the ruling of a
republican senator, made Kellogg United
States senator from Louisiana; but, curl
ously enough, it failed to make Packard
governor, and that by the action of Mr..
Hayes himself Fer, as soon as Mr. Hayes
became President he removed the troops
which had been used to protect the plot,
and. within twenty four hours thereafter
the fraudulent legislature that had chosen
Kellogg senator dispersed forever, and
Packard abandoned his claims on the
governorship, to be subsequently awarded
by the $40, 600 Liverpool consulship by
Mr. Hayes. Kellogg, therefore, derives
his sole authority to be United States
senator from a pretended legislature which
i.self had no right of existence.
1t is not surprising that man shaving
such a record of fraud behind him as this
should come to bad end, for it is the
nature of crime sooner or latter, to en-
tangle the criminal in his own devices.
But Kellogg has been, from the first to
last, representative carpet bagger
championed and supported by the repub-
lican party and republican administra-
tions, and to that party we owe the shame
of United States senator indicted by the
grand jury of Washington city for bribery
and conspiracy to rob >the treasury. All
that is left US is the poor comfort or hop
ing that he is the last of the dishonorable
and disgraeed brotherhood-that the
country will no longer be dishonored by
carpet baggers, because there are no
more carpet baggers to dishonor it, that
the list which begins with Scott, Moses,
Whittemore and Bowen of South Caro-
lima, and includes Dorsey of Arkansas,
and several eminent examplars in Georgia,
comes to its end in Kellogg of Louisiana.

HOW A DOG RESCUED A BABY.

Dog stories are without number and
are always interesting; and in the great
family of dogs the race that came origi-
nslly from Newfoundland boasts more
real heroes than any other. There are
pathetic stories of dogs told in cOnnec-
ton with every breed, they have been
duly immortalized by Sir Edwin Land
seer and his emotional successor Mr.
Briton RivIere. The dogs of St. Bernard
find travellers who are lost in the snow;
collie dogs are the most affectionate of
creatures in life as we'll as in death; and
even the ordinary mongrel or lurcher has
heart of compassion for the baby girl
who is sent out of the room in disgrace
and sits disconsolately on the top step of
the stairs But the Newfoundland dogs
are the true heroes; they win the medals
and Victora Crosses of dog life. Hither-
to they have confined their attention,
however, to seas and rivers. If child
tumbles off pier at seaside or escapes
| from its nurses arms into the river some
great hearted Newfoundland dog is sure
| to be at hand to offer his valuable ser
vices. 1t seems that they are as handy,
also, in case of fire. An impTudent
mother in Paris left her infant alone in a
room with an unprotected fire whilst she
.
while she was away. slipped up on the
marble hearthstone, falling head first un-
der the CRATE. The natural thing for q
child to do under such circumstances was
to howl. which it promptly did. Its
screams attracted the attention of Medor,
| who was doing down stairs in the kit
chen. The dog who was greatly attach
ed to the child. sagaciously thought that
something was wrong. so he bounded up
stairs, luckily found the door open. and,
seeing the situation of the infant, unable
| to extricate itself from its perilous pos
ition, dragged the baby away from the
fireplace, conveyed it into the center of
the room, and was found by the neighbors
licking the face and little arms of its
friend, who had luckily been only slight.
| ly burned during the interval. The de-
| light of the mother, when she heard what
had happened was naturally intense; but
how could she reward such heroic pre-
server? The dog certainly deserves a
Humane Society medal. or should be
promptly attached to the nearest division
of Sapeura Pompiers. London Iete

A STORY OF A wEDD1ne CAKE.

About twenty years ago occurred a
wedding in this city upon grand scale.
In the course of the evening guest sug
gested that one of the wedding cakes be
sealed in a tin box until the marriage of
the bride and groom's first born One of
the most delicious cakes was selected
and sent to tin shop, with the proper
instructions. AS may be supposed, the
timers yearned for that cake, and soon
it was divided The tin box which had
been prepared for its reception was then
filed with water soaked ashes. carefully
sealed, and sent to. the biushing young
couple. who. remembering what was ex-
pected of them and their prospective off
spring, took it tenderly in charge, and
have since guarded 1t we'll. In course OF
time son was born to them, who is now
10 years old, and, it is said, will ere long
be married. 1t will be an amusing sight
when that box is solemnly brought before
the guests, its little romance related and
the seal of years broken in the presence
of the company.

its success is freely conceded. The utmost
satisfaction is expressed with the head of
the ticket, and Mr.. Motifs popularity will
give all the candidates considerable of a

to secure success, but they are somewhat

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Regular Correspondent. ]

WASHINGTON, d. c., March %, 1883.
If the president possesses one accom-
plishment more than another it is the
faculty of ''holding his tongue, or keep
ing his plans and purposes to himself.
This is very desirable trait in public
man, though it is sometimes mvstifying to
people with highly developed curiosity,
and also very inconvenient to those whose
business it is to supply the news and who
often sigh and wish that Mr.. Arthur was
as leaky as Hayes, for instance. For
some time all the correspondents have
had the president nearly down sick and
about to leave town, though last Monday
night when they were sending off dis
patches concerning his low state OF
health, he was attending a reception at
Mr.. Blane's as late as one o'clock. Last
week everybody was sure he was going to
Fortress Monroe; the week before he was
going to Florida; now he is going out to
the Soldiers Home. This last really has
shadow of probability about it, 1t is a
little out of the way without being too
much out of the way Those who think
that the presidents troubles are all over
when congress leaves off ought first to
come here and take stroll down town
towards the white house about eleven
O'Clock in the morning. They will see the
same crowd hanging around, with this
differences that when congress was in ses.
sion . part of their importantly was be-
slowed on senators and representatives
but now, as they are comparatively scarce.
it Is all bottled up for the present Presi-
dent Arthur does not seem to he over
fond of the white house. He hung on
at Senator Jones house sop CapitoI
Hill as long as he could at the be
ginning of his term. Then after a three
months holiday during the summer he
went out to the Soldiers Home cottage
and only got back in time for New Years.
when the sudden death of Minister Allen
throw gloom over the house, Now.
after all the champagne and terrapin and
pate de fore grds of the winter, the Presi-
dent needs to be side tracked for repairs
---and the Soldiers Home is about the
best place for him. He has a little cot.
tage there little cottage and he
has no facilitiesfor big dinners and re-
ceptions, and people are really obliged to
let him alone to degree
General Sherman gave us the other day
some details concerning his summer triI
to the Pacific coast, the last one he viii
make as general of the army. His party
will be small one, and will consist OF
General Tidball and Colonel Bacon, of his
staff. Chief Justice Waite and Justice
Gray, of the supreme court. He win g
out by the northern route, and return by
what is known as the middle or thirty
fifth parallel route. He will start about
June 90, and does not expect to return
until the 1st of October. The party will
go to Fort Ellis, Montana. the present
terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad
and there fit out with train and cscori
for an overland journey to Puget Sound
They will visit Fort Missoula, but goot
many of the army posts will not be visit
ed. During the latter part of the north
ern journey the party will travel on
British territory. They will go to Van

on the eastern trip will again have train
and guard of soldiers as they come*over
the line of the unfinished Atlantic and
Pacific railroad. General Sherman will
attend the closing exercises at West
Point this year.
Women in and out of the departments
have been studying the civil service law
and have decided that under it no dis
tinction can be made between the sexes
must be subjected to the same tests, and
if the women excel they must be selected
for appointment One would think that
this was self evident proposition. but it
is arather startling one to the male clerks
and to the head of the departments, who,
as general thing. are opposed to any in
crease in the force of female clerks
Heretofore women have been obliged to
enter the servicea at much lower salaries
than men, and have never been advanced
to the higher grades. Two thirds of the
male clerks have been appointed origin
ally to first class vacancies at salaries of
81 200 per year. On the other hand there
are few, if any, Instances of females be-
ing appointed TO first class clerkships
when first entering the service They
are almost universally placed at $40 or
$40 per month, no matter what their
qualifications. Further than this, some
inquiry has failed to hear of any instance
of female clerk being advanced to a
| salary of 81 800. There are few 81 600
not above dozen in the whole service.
The limit fOrsthem seems by, general con
sent to be 81 200. This is entirely with
out reference to capacity. There in
stances of iinguists and translators
at $1,000 per year sitting in the
same rooms with men who do
vastly inferior work, but who receive
| for it third more salary Under the
| new law merit alone is supposed to win,
| and the argument of the ladies that the
best places are TO be opened to them
seems to be unanswerable
The sudden death of Postmaster Gen
eral Howe recalls the fact that while sew
eral presidents have died in office COM
paratively few members of the cabinet
| have ever passed away during their official
term. Before the demise of Mr.. Howe
| the latest instance of death in the cabinet
| was in 1859, when Postmaster General
| Brown died of malarial chills during the
| presidency of Mr.. Buchanan. Mr.. Howe
was well advanced in years. and his recall
from private life, after long service in
| the senate. was a surprise to most men
| His health had been infirm for years, and
his physique was slight, and under the
pressure of age and infirmity, was un-
equal to the tasks imposed upon the head
| of one of the busiest and most important
departments of the government What
ever may be said of the deceased official,
| as a public man, it will be always held
true of him that he was honest, pains
| taking, and conscientious in the .dischage
| of the duties that were intrusted to him as
| a jurist, legislator, and executive officer
In the department over which he lately
presided he was highly regarded and loved
by all the employees, his intercourse with
them having been characterized by kind
ness and consideration akin to fatherly
interest. Dom PEDRO.
