Jones I!

First Assistant Postmaster General Frank Hat
toms newspaper which is n Jealous supporter OF
swindling lottery companies, star route thieves,
and Virginia repudiators, says that Gen. Malone,
through "readjuster committee" will formally
ask for recognition and friendly counsel of the
republican national committee at its meeting
next month. Friendly counsel is cheap. The re-
publican committee can give Malone all he is
willing to take of that. But recognition is quite
another thing. Besides, what is there to "recog-
nize?" Only Malone and Riddleberger, appar-
emily.
Tho above is from tho New York Times,
which is a jealous liar every day in the week
at two cents per copy, and a Jealous supporter
of free trade for revenue only-to itself-and
also jealous supporter of the unlawful pri-
vate postoifice concerns in Now York city,
which for years have been depriying the
postoffice of that city of from $500 tC
81 900 per day revenue. The editor Mr.
George Jones, contributed $500 in 1881 to the
Malone campaign committee and is now very
much opposed to Malone for tho sole and
friendly toward the republican party. In the
eyes of the New York Times this is a great
crime. AS cheap as friendly counsel may
be, the Virginia senators are much more likely
to accept it from the republican national com
mittee than they arc from tho New Yorh
Times. There is only one thing that will sti
Mr.. Joness ire more than for man to bo
consistent republican, and that is for MAJ
to refuse to be dragged from first class to
second class car on n railroad train for tn
purpose of being introduced to some membe
of the Jones family.

WE print this morning letter from
special correspondent from near Danville,
Va.," which contains graphic account of the
condition of affairs there, We feel il to be Il
getting the bottom facts concerning the in
human massacre of voters there before cleo
ion, whereby nearly 1900 legal votes in
three precincts only were, as was intended, so
terrified that they dared not offer to vote.
Our correspondent shows that all Virginia is
under the restraint of the mob spirit. The
terrible deeds of blood which resulted in a
triumph of lawlessness and force over the
majority are recoiling upon their authors, and
the democratic party managers at the north
are going to hold their perpetrators respon-
sible for destroying their high hopes of sue
cess in 1854. Tho Virginia bourbon man.
ayers arc therefore forced to do all in
their power to suppress testimony. 1t is
certain that when an investigation is ordered
as ordered it should be by tho senate Of the
United States, only those witnesses who have
nerve, and plenty Of it, will deem it safe Il
respond with their evidence, Tho most ap
proved methods Of South Carolina, Missis
eippi, aud Louisiana are at work in Virginil

Session Of the Conrt OF Inquiry Ysster-
day-Testimony OF Lieut. Darlington.

Session OF the Court OF Inquiry Eester-
day-Testlmony OF Lieut.. Darlington.
At the session of tho Proteus court of i'm
quiry yesterday, Mr.. Linden Kent appeared
rs counsel for Lieut. Darlington, and was
introduced by Maj. Goodfellow, judge adyo-
cate, TO the members of the court
The official records Of the navy department
relating to the subject of inquiry were re-
ceived by tho court, and their reading was
entered upon.
The reading of documents having been con-
cluded at 1:30 o'clock, the court took recess,
after which the oral examination of Lieut.
darlington was begun, the examination being
conducted by Judge Advocate Goodfellow.
In reply to inquiries Lieut.. Darlington de-
scribed tho finding of the unsigned memoir
andum, known as inclosuro No. A, substan-
TALLY Us described in his reports to the chief
signal officer. Ho said he first heard of the
paper in conversation with the executive
officer of the signal office. That conversation
and subsequent conversation with Gen.
Hazen left upon his mind the impression that
the memorandum was the volunteer work of
the executive officer, merely to have it
ready in case IL was desired" Gen. Hazon
neither indorsed nor disavowed the memor-
andum, and Lieut. Darlington consequently
did NOT regard it as an official paper in any
respect.
Lieut. harrington described the stores, ftre-
arms, &C., taken by tho Proteus and the
method of storing tho former. He said he
sent an urgent telegram to tho chief signal
officer, asking that he and his party be per-
mitted to accompany tho Alhambra to st.
johns, in order to personally supervise tho
trans-shipment of stores to the Proteus, but
received no reply to his telegram, and fol-
lowed previous instructions in going by the
| Yantic. Lieut.. Darlington said he never saw
the instructions given to Com'dr Wildes
until his return to Washington. Ho knew
merely that vessel was to accompany him
| north subject to circumstances and condi-
tions of the ice but understood from tho
start that the Yantic was not to Interfere
with or delay the Proteus. He expected from
the beginning that when tho ice pack was
reached the Proteus would necessarily pro-
cecd alone while the Yantic would seek a
more circuitous and safer route.
In reply to direct inquiry by tho court,
Liout. Darlington said the Yantic was practi-
cally of no use.
"Why was she sent then P'
swell, as 1 supposed, merely to satisfy pub
lie opinion"
Lieut.. Darlington explained his parting
from tho Yantic at st. Johns as being duo to
the knowledge that he had certain prepare
tions to make at Disco, and thought it better
to proceed and get everything ready there
before tho Yantc arrived. The route from
st. Johns to Disco being open, with no pos
sibility of danger, no necessity for the two
vessels to keep in company occurred to him
At 3 o'clock tho court adjourned until to-
day, the examination of Lieut.. Darlington
not being concluded.

Ncip YORK Truth.


Assistant Postmaster General Hatton is ed
itor of the Washington REPUBLIcAS but not its
business manager. Mr.. Jones is business manager
of the Times but is not its editor. In october,
1881, Mr.. Jones sent Gen. Malone check for $500
toward his election expenses. During the past
campaign the Times editorlaily attacked Mahone-
ism on fanks and center The Washington RE-
PUBLICAN prints advertisements OF the Louisiana
lottery. Whereupon the Times outrageously at
tempted to hold Mr.. Hatton, both in his capacity
of officer and editor, responsible for these adver-
tisements and sought in very underhanded way
to compromise him as Gen. Gresham's deputy de-
fylng his superior's acts against that lottery.
Yesterday in his paper Editor Hatton says in
substance: "As editor am no more responsible
for what the advertising manager does than Ad-
yertisiug Manager Jones is for what the Times ed
itor says"
This places Mr.. Jones in an unenviabe dilemma
and all pressdom will say that he well deserved

An Important Patent Decision.

In deciding an interference patont case,
upon appeal from q decision Of the commits
sioner of patents, the secretary of tho interior
holds that where an interference has been
an unexpired patent granted to joint in
ventors the commissioner of patents, in such
interference, has no authority to question
the validity of the joint patent upon evil
dence that the patentees were not properly
Joined as inventors of tho matter in contro-
versy; and for that reason award priority to
the applicant whose date of invention is sub
sequent to that shown in support of the
patent. He also holds that if the patent
should be declared invalid by competent au-
thority the benefit of the invention would
inure to the public and not to the subsequent
inventor.

If the telegraphic report from Rome con-

there is much difference between him and
