TiIden and Hancock.

The New York Sun yesterday prints
an interview with ex-senator Barnum,
of Connecticut. Barnum, as is known,
is the Chairman of the National
Democratic Campaign Committee.
Asked if Tilden in any way failed to
support General Hancock as a Presi

A PROFIrARLE CONVICT
Who Melted sIO,746.94 to the
Aessees OF the Tennessee
Penitentiary.
Nashville American, %.

Jim Smith. who was sentenced by
the Criminal Court Of Shelby on July
IL, 1874, to twelve years at hard labor
in the States prison, for highway
robbery, vas released Saturday, after
serving nine years and one month,
being allowed two years and eleven
months good time. The lessees OF the
penitentiary gave Smith S26 suit Of
clothes, and $40 to pay his fare to
Memphis, and say they have the
highest regard for this prisoner, who
proved to be most faithful, efficient
and steady workman. Heis master
mechanic and tool maker. he worked
In the machine shop, and could ad
just break in the most intricate ma
chinery. He never lost an hours
work the whole time he was in prison
by reason of sickness or any other
trouble. He actually worked twenty
eight hundred and thirty>six days,
aud as be is mechanic who is capable
OF earning about four dollars day, on
an average, during all the time he
was in the penitentiary, his services
were worth 1874. Deducting the
cost of supporting convicts, which e
estimated at eighteen cents per day,
for nine years and one month, 1917
days, $591.O6, leaves a net gain OF
$l0,746.94.

thoroughly each time than the time
before. The wheat and chat come in
together, and III tie province of the
clean newspaper to see that as little Of
the latter is used as possible. Prob
ably the average reader would be sur
prised if he could see the quantity of
news that is thrown aside each day
because it is not Of q kind that ought
to come before the eyes Of his girls and
boys.
At the same time the papers must
print the news. The widespread pub
LEGATION of q murder arouses q whole
community, and often brings thou
sand eyes and ears to the help Of JUS
tice. Then, too. there is a natural and
pardonable curiosity with regard TO
some sensational occurrences that must
be satisfied. When men hear of a
friends death, they are eager to know
the details of his sickness, OF the scci-
dent that befell him. or if he las gone
astray, to understand how and why.
This is q human instinct, to which
few of US are superior. 1t is the deli>
cate duty of the newspaper to satisfy
it without going so far as to make its
news demoraliziug.
If the extreme publicity Of. the
present day is an evil-and there are
times when it seems so--what shall be
said of the love of notoriety? This
is the other side of The shield. The
newspapers are accused of prying into
the affairs OF the home, filling their
columns full of offensive personalities,
etc., aud some of them are not with
out sin in the meter. But do the
public ever think Of the striving and
labor on the part OF large class in
the community to get themselves in
the newspapers-yes, aud even their
home affairs? This hunger for no
toriety is seen in all classes-rich aud
poor, learned and ignorant, business
men, professional men, writers, sol
diers and poets. This tendency, too,
has to be held in check IF the growth
of the newspaper has developed the
vice of publicity, it has itself been de
veloped and impelled by kindred
viCe-the love Of publicity.

3 WASHINGTON, August 17.-One of
those cases which are often spoken
about but seldom printed, came to
light to. day at the government print
ing Office, through the prompt and
generous action of Public Printer
Rounds, in restoring young lady to
mis- bureau who had been dismissed
through the false representations and
uuderhand work of her enemies about
year ago. Through the influence of
q clerk in the Treasury Department,
formerly an acquaintance Of her
family in North Carolina, the lady in
question, who is an orphan, was ap
pointed.
AS a reward for his efforts in her
behalf the pretended friend made a
proposition that was as gross an insult
as could be offered. The girl CONS
planned to her brother-in law, with
whom she lived, and the ruffian was
forbidden the house. Nothing was
heard further in the matter until last
July, when the young lady returned
from a brief leave of absence to find
that she had been discharged. Sus
pecting the source of her troubles,
inquiry was instituted by several Of
her friends, who discovered that the
man who secured her appointment
had, actuated by spirit Of revenge
also secured her dismissal through
false statements.
The matter was placed in the plain
est manner before Mr.. Rounds, with
the most convincing proof of the vii
lainy which had been at work to injurt
the young lady and deceive the officer
That officer Immediately made out {
reappointment of the lady, and with al
apology for the injustice which haC
been unwittingly perpetrated, restored
her TO her former position. Mr.
Rounds has taken SO much interest il
the case, and feels so annoyed at hav
ing been deceived that he will call thu
attention Of Secretary Folger to thu
character Of the clerk who has acted
so UNANIMOUSLY, intending to secure hi
discharge. Hearing what was COINS
on, the clerk in question has beer
making the most abject appeals to th,
| young lady not TO expose him, but sh,
is in the hands Of her friends, who viii
see that he is properly punished.

Are the Newspapers to Blame?

This is the view that some people
are taking OF the prevalence Of suicide
and other forms of violent crime
that the newspapers are partly re
sponsible. They give more or less
space, according to their character, TO
news of this kind. Persons of the
lower grades OF intelligence especially
read the criminal records, conceptions
of murder and self-murder become
familiar to them, and when some crisis
comes the mind turns more swiftly to
the thought that ends with blow or
a pistol shot than it would if it we're
not already saturated with such ideas
And this is only part of the general
Indictment which is often made--that
publicity is one of the crying evils Of
the age. These critics say that moth.
ing is sacred against the inquisitive-
ness Of the newspapers. Private life
is invaded, and the fierce light Of the
press beats into every home.
There are newspapers and newspa-
pers, Of course, and some of them have
good deal to answer for. Those that
make trade of sensationalism are not
scrupulous as to either their matte
or their manner Of presenting it. But
a little reflection will show any onI
that these form comparatively small
class among the journals Of thu
country. Charles Dudley Warner, il
speaking on the subject of the pres
two or three years ago, said that thu
moral tone of a newspaper was usually
higher than that OF the oommun'
ftY in which it was printsd. There
was no little truth in this observation
Even the most sensational newspape
hardly furnishes crime and scanda
enough to satisfy Its readers, and tn
respectable newspaper has to make VI
its mind to do without the custom

munity because it will no

which the newspapers are liable to b
