Dorsey as Garfleld's Mentor.
[American Register.l

The published correspoD ience of Cen
eral Garfield with Stephen W. Dorsey,
during the presidential campaign OF 1880.
reveals very remarkable intimacy be-
tween the two, shows that Gartields
election was attributal to Dorsey more
than any other single person, and that
money was remitted to Dorsey in large
amounts to be used in the election. and
that Garfield relied upon him as his
friendly adviser and guide during the
campaign-Pdr mobile frdtrun,
In Fenelon's epic entitled Telemachus.
the tabled Minerva assumed the form of
a friendly adviser and guide called Mem
tor, and accompanied the hero OF the ro-
nance in his eventful search over the
world for his father, Ulysses. In Gener-
al Garfeld's wonderfully romantic ad-
y venture for the presidency. it seems that
ex- Senator Dorsey was truly his Mentor,
and guided him successfully through
After the great object was achieved,
Garfield could not abandon Dorsey with
out the basest treachery. And TO keep
faith with Dorsey, Garfield's friends
should build monument to Dorsey, to
be placed beside that of Garfield, as an
ornament to the public grounds of Wash
ington!
The genial Garfield. that one whom
General Butler knew-he disclaims any
knowledge of the man assassinated by
Guiteau, and apotheoazed by the news
papers-the genial, rolicking Mr.. Garfield,
lust before the State election of 1880 in
Indiana, wrote to MIR. Dorsey: From
twenty. five thousand to thirty thousand
voters of Indian are members of the de-
nomination of Disciples, and at least half
of them are Democrats. A quiet but
yery earnest movement wholly outside
the State Committee has been organized,
and is being vigorously and judiciously
pushed, with the strongest probability
that at least two thousand five hundred
changes of votes in our favor will result. "
What an uproar would have ensued If q
Romanist candidate had written such a
letter, referring to members of his flock.
These innocent Disciples" however,
were expected by Garfield to be cleverly
wheedled into his support, simply be-
cause he and they were OF the same
communion. NH. ts Ai4tA
One of Levi P. Morton's letters un-
earthed by MIR. Dorsey shows how much
o good man having many shekels il
willing to shell out for Cabinet; posi-
ton. How sweetly and pathetically he
writes Of his sacrifices for the party {?
Sending Mr.. Dorsey q check for $4,000,
Mr.. Morton says: "This makes my per.
sonal advances $50, 1000, without having
collected dollar from any one." Thirty
thousand dollars offered for q place In
the Cabinet and taken by the auctioneer
but the principal wouldn't deliver the
goods! ..

More Than BE Wanted.

Some mean people get more than
they want. A man Of this kind met a
physician in company, and after de-
scribing all his ailments said, "Now,
then, what shall ] takep" The M. D.,
who knew the fellow, looked at him and
blandly replied, my dear sir, You tell
me of very dangerous symptoms, and
ask what you shall take. I'll tell you:
Take the advice of good doctor, and
pay him for it."

If Il is necessary to send lawyers to the
House OF Delegates from Richmond, that
fact need not prevent the nomination Of n
fair proportion OF negroes upon the Coali-
ton ticket, there being several negro law
yers in this city. The Democrats have not
claimed that the constitutional provision
recognizing the "civil and political
equality" OF the negroes required
them TO divide the offices with the
negroes. On the contrary, the Demo
Gratis nominated none hut white men as
candidates. But Coalition writers and
speakers have attempted to justify the APP
pointment OF negroes upon the School
Board of Richmond by saying that the
Constitution contains such provision.
II that provision compelled the Governor
to give the negroes some Of the trustees
OF the public schools, surely it will com.
pei the Coalitionists to nominate some ne.
groes for the Legislature, since these con.
stitutc at least five-slxths Of the Coalition
party In Richmond.

The paragraph in yesterdays Dispatch
telling how certain smugglers had utilized
homing pigeons in Transporting diamonds
across the line between Canada and the
United States reminds us that an article IN
one OF our exchanges argues that aerial
navigation will never be a success. because
as that mode OF traversing the earth would
open every house to aerial burglars, de-
bauchees, and murderers, it may be as
sumed that Providence will not al
low It ever TO become possible. Won
der II this same argument wasn't once
used against railroads and steamboats,
1t Is, we think, not a sound one. The in
vention OF gunpowder no doubt excited
the fears of many. So also gun-cotton,
nitro-glyccrine, chloral, and other such
things might have been set down at first
MS threatening the peace and security OF
every household. The careers OF the
JAMES brothers and Of other "road.
agents" prove that every community in
the land is to-day as much at the mercy OF
gangs Of outlaws as it would be or could
be under any other state Of things. What
could be more deieneeless and assailable
than the occupants OF house extra-mural
TO any large city? And yet how few are
the outrages committed near any such city.
Power aud the desire to plumber or de-
oauch do not always 70 together. There
Is a restraining force somewhere and o.,
some sort always. We do not fear aerial
navigation.

OCTOBER Q, 1883.
The steamer Carrie, OF whose sale NJ
auction mention was made In my last iel-
ter, was capsized and sunk in James river,
near Fort Powhatan, yesterday afternoon
during violent storm. The steamer leit
Petersburg about | o'clock with an as
sorted cargo, valued at about Sl,500, ana
was struck by the gale about o O'Clock.
She was thrown upon her side, and IN q
few minutes filed and sank In three fathoms
water out in the ship channel some distance
from the shore.
The officers and crew, consisting OF seven
men, were all saved with the exception OF
Alexander Pete, the colored fireman, who
was drowned in the attempt 10 SWIM
ashore. They saved themselves by cling.
ing TO pieces OF plank and timber unit
they could reach the bank or were picked
up by n passing tug. Among the passen-
gers was Major Mann Page, OF Brandon,
the Democratic candidate for the Senate in
this district. He was barely rescued from
death. Though aided by a life-preseryer.
he became so exhausted in the rough wa
ter that but for the assistance rendered
him by some OF the officers and crew he
would inevitably have been drowned. He
was picked up in very weak condition by
a tug, and under proper attention revived
sufficiently to be taken to his home. To-
day he is rapidly improving.
The Carrie was sold at auction on Mon
day by the Petersburg Steamboat Company
TO Messrs. Morris Levy & co. for $1,000.
She went down the James yesterday on
her regular trip, and was to have returned
to tie city to-day. This week she was to
have been sent TO Norfolk to be repaired
and enlarged, to be run n a freight-boat
between Petersburg and the lower coun-
ties. There Is no insurance on the vessel
or cargo. This is the second time the Car
rie has been sunk in the James river.
Some few months ago. while coming mp
the river with full freight, she suddenly
went to the bottom without any apparent
cause. She was raised and repaired with
the money from which she was insured and
again placed on the line.
The storm OF Yesterday afternoon, which
was quite violent here, is said to have been
the seyercst along the lower James river
for many years. II is feared that good
deal OF damage was done. ROBIN ADAIR.
