fired more than one shot. He was after

John Samuels was one of the younger

of conveying information to the bandit.
He has been known as determined

SULLIVAN'S MARCH.

"A Scranton Crowd

aided for some time, and many of the
miners and iron workers who pride them
selves on their hitting accomplishments
actually expected to be able to put on
the gloves with the BOsGOnIan or the
Maori. Great was the disappointment
when it was announced that the armo-
ry of the Thirteenth Regiment, which had
been secured for the fistic show, would not
be opened for the exhibition, the proprie-
tors of the building having reconsidered
their action in letting the place as soon as
they ascertained the nature of the enter
tainment. The Scranton Driving Park
was then secured for an afternoon eXhi-
bitiOn at B O'Clock, and although it rained
heavily thousands were there at the ap-
pointed hour. the track upon which the
sparring was to take place was muddy,
and when the Sullivan party arrived in
their carriage they were much disgusted,
and cOntented themselves by driving
around the course. There was great i'm
patience to see them pummel each other,
but they did not respond to the loud and
not over-pOlite invitation which they re-
ceived from the crowd to show themselves.
Fearing an attack, the Sullivan party
started off to the city on a sharp trot, and
the mob made a rush for the men who
were collecting the money at the gates.
Then q furious scuffle ensued, during
which several persons were trampled un-
der foot and badly bruised. The money
boxes were tossed about and snatched by
one or another of the crowd, until they
finally got into the possession of a man on
horseback, who set spurs to his steed and
rode away with the proceeds, amid a
shower of stones and sticks. A large and
noisy crowd surrounded the hotel as soon
as Sullivan and his friends returned to
Scranton, and there was great disappOint-
ment and disgust among the mob. Sui
liYan was followed about everywhere,
and finally made his way into a barber's
shop. As soon as his whereabouts was
ascertained there was jam on the street
in front of the place, and two policemen
who attempted to clear the sidewalk were
set upon and beaten savagely by the MOP.
officer Lewis was knocked down and
kicked in the face, and his companion
was forced to run tor his life. 1t looked
as if there would be a riot, and the loud
and angry demand for the half-dollars
maid at the park increased as the disap-
nointed ones returned. Threats against
Sullivan were freely INDUCED in, and he
was compelled to escape through a rear
door of the barber's shop and hide him.

becoming alarmed, locked up his place,
but the crowd surged about it and cursed

Wis Body Servant.

James IL. Jones, n cOlored man, who
was during the war the body servant Of
President Jefferson Davis, yesterday
interesting relics of the last hours of the
Confederate States. These are Il gold
mounted Colts revolver, gold and silver
coins, a Derringer and two brass camp
candlesticks.
The latter were carried by Mr.. Davis
all through the Mexican war when he
was Colonel of the famous Mississippi
Rifles. He was very fond of them. On
the night before the eventful morning of
his capture these candlesticks held can
dies. In the early morning one was
lighted. When the Federal cavalry made
the rush Jones took the candlestIcks, the
one with the bit of half-consumed candle,
and put all in his pocket. So now the
identical bit of candle is again in the
stick. Jones was never searched by the
troopers.
Mr.. Davis has always had warm per-
sOnal regard for so faithful servant, and
has written him several letters. Jones
is politician, Republican of the
straightest sect; has repeatedly been an
Alderman of this city, and has for thir-
teen years been foreman of one of the
best cOlOred volunteer fire companies
in any State. The relics in question are
priced by him above all earthly things.
Recently he went to the place where
General Joseph e. Johnston surrendered,
and cut thereon walking cane. On this
he had placed a silver head, and sent it to
Mr.. Davis, who acknowledged It in a
pleasant letter. He has been offered
quite a fancy sum for the candlestick,
etc, but says only at his death shall they
leave his possession.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Problems for the Commission to Con-
slider.


slider.
WAsHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 13.-DOrman
B. Eaton has returned to the city, and it
is now expected that the subject of pro-
motions in the departments will soon be
taken up and disposed of. Mr.. Eaton
says, however, that there are very many
problems to be yet considered in connec-
tion with the subject. 1t is now believed
that both Mr.. Eaton and DIR. Gregory are
convinced that competitive examination
alone is not the best system for promo
tiOns, and that other elements, such as
executive capacity, control over men and
long experience in the particular office
are to be considered. There is no longer
any question that the law does not require
competitive examinations for promotions.
Another question has recently arisen with
respect to promotion. 1t is whether the
general statute that preference should be
given to wounded and disabled soldiers IN
the matter of appointments refers to orig
inal appointments only, or is to be con-
sidered as applicable to promotion.
1t is understood the Civil Service Gem
mission has asked the President to direct
further classification OF employees in the
government service, so as to bring within
the operation of the civil service rules the
class of employees now receiving less than
5000 per annum. The President is be-
lieved to favor the proposition, and it is
thought he will soon direct a reclassifica-
tiOn of employees receiving less than 81 200,
which Will include a number of those re-
ceiving less than 5000, and who are not

Service Commission. 1t is not thought.

SENATOR BAYARD AND BUTLER
{ 4 Scathfng DenunciatiOn of the Gov
ernOr of Massachusetts.

Wheeling ". Id.) Special 10 v. y. Times, Oct Is.
In an interview last night at Martins
burg, Berkely county, Senator Bayard, Of
Delaware. spoke of the recent Democratic
success in Ohio and of the political out
look generally. He expressed himself as
being greatly pleased with the cheering
prospects for Democratic victory next
year. Asked as to the bearing the Ohio
election would have upon the Ohio fight
he remarked that he did not think it
would have at all jeOpardiZed the Demo-
cratic chances for 1881 had Foraker been
elected. That event would have given
the Republicans some ground for hope,
but nothing more. The unexpected and
decisive defeat of the Republican ticket
he regarded as taking Ohio permanently
ont of the Republican column and render
ing a Republican President an impOssi-
bility Referring to the canvass in Mas
sachusetts Mr.. Bayard denounced Gov
eruor Butler in the most earnest and
scathing manner, saying:
.sButler is not a man To be trusted. He
was one of the most bitter and violent of
Republican partisans after his desertiOn
from the Democratic party, and now,
when the tide is turning and Democratic
success is in sight, he seeks to crawl back
into the ranks of the party, and, apOstate
as he is. gather the emOluments of office.
The local interests of Massachusetts may
demand such a leader, but the national
Democratic party does not. That party
dare not trust a man who applied the
knife of treachery in 1860. He wOlld do
the same thing again If opportunity Of
fered. The Democratic party has TOO
many tried and true leaders who are
available to seek such dOuble-tOngued
standard bearer as Ben Butler.N

WAR LEGISLATION INVOLVED.
The Florida Election Case of Gale and
Gibson Decided.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-AnOther inter-
esting case involving war legislation Was
also decided by the United States Su-
preme Court tO-day-the case of the
United States against Edward T. Gale
and William 5. Gibson, which was brought
here on certificate of division from the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
District of Florida. This was suit
against the supervisor and clerk of elec-
tiOn district No. s in Marion county,
Florida, on the occasion of the election
of the Congressional Representative in
1873. The indictment charged the defend
ants with misconduct, as election officers,
in stufiing the ballot box with fraudulent
tickets and abstracting tickets which had
been voted. The defense was that sec
tiOns 55l2 and 5515 of the Revised Stat
utes, upon which the indictment was
based, and section $50, under which was
chosen the grand jury by which the in
dictment was found, were unconstitu-
tiOnal and void.
The court dispoSes of the first part of
the defense very briefly by saying that the
questions of the validity of the sections
55l2 and 55l5 has already been decided by
this court in the case of SubOld and Clark
600 u. s., 3l7-3g9), and was determined
i'm favor of their validity. Section $40,
upon which the second part of the de-
tense was based, contains statements of
causes for disqualification and the chal-
lenge of the grand and petit jurors in the
courts of the United States as follows
ssWithOut dureSs and coercion. TO

ants four persons otherwise competent

causes mentioned in this section. The
court, after review of the circumstances
as shown by the record. declines TO decide
whether section $40 is valid or not. for the
reasons that the objection to the constitu-
ton OIL the grand jury under that section
was not raised in due time. The court,
however, gives a brief history of this law
excluding from juries persons who took
part in the late insurrectiOn. and comments
on II as f0llOWs: 1T may be proper to call
attention TO the singular position of that
section-sectiOn $40. 1t was ORIGINALLY
enacted as a section of the act passed June
l., 1862, entitled "An act defining the diff
ierent causes OF challenge, and prescrib-
ing an additl0nal oath for grand and petit
jurors in the United States courts. u

doubt, very proper and necessary law.

in the States lately in rebellion would be

fifth section of the act commonly called
the enforcement act, passed April 2S.
1871, 9th Statutes. 18th Congress 5.
After providing that in prosections un-
der that act no person should be a grand
or petit juror who should, in the iudg-
ment of the court be in completely with
any combination or conspiracy. punisha-
bic by the provisions thereof, repealed
said first section of the act of 1862,
and the law remained in this state un-
til the adoption of the Revised Statute
For some unexplained reasons the
reYisers imported the section back again
into the Revised Statutes as section $40.
although it had not been in force for
more than two years. 1t is probable
overlooked by Congress when the revision
was adopted, and it is to be hoped that
their attention will be called to it. The
questions certified by the court below are
answered by this court as follows: alt
is the opinion of this court and it so de-
cldes. that the question whether sections
55l2 and 55lj of the Revised Statues of
the United States are repugnant to
and in violation of the Constitution
of the United States should be
answered in the negative. That the ques-
ton as to the validity of section $40 Of
said Revised Statutes is unnecessary to
be decided, lnasmuch as objection to the
constitution of the grand jury under that
section was not reached in due time, and
that the remaining questions, namely:
whether the judgment of this court could
be rendered against the defendants, or an
Indictment found by the grand jury en-
paneled and sworn under the sections
aforesaid, and whether the Indictment
aforesaid charges any offences for which
Judgment could be rendered against the
defendants i'll this court under the COnsti-
tuition or the laws of the United States,
should be answered in the affirmative
The opinion is by Justice Bradley.

GOV. BUTLER NOT WANTED
HIS PRESIDENTIAL ExPECTA.
TIONS VAIN.

Leading Democrats All of One Mind on
His Candidacy-Dishearte Repub-
Hcans Hatching Plots to Steal the
Presidency-The Democrats Not to be
Easily Cheated
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA good deal Of
comment has been INDUCED in in political
circles here about the announcement
officially made by Governor Butler
of Massachusetts, that he will be can.
didate tor the next Democratic nomina.
tion. Those who watch political
maneuvres with care have been con.
vinced for months that such an idea was
working in Buffers brain. The general
verdict is that such an idea is puerile and
useless. The Democratic party does not
want Butler. The Democratic party will
not have Butler. He is prominent, it is
true, but he is impracticable. This an
nOuncement is made on the strength of
talks with good and solid Democrats
who have been recently visiting
the city. There is no more
possibility of Buffers getting the next
Democratic nomination than there is of
an imaginary Sancho Panza being eX-
humed and run as Democratic standard
bearer.
An announcement made in paper here
which is said to be the organ of the ad-
mlnistratiOn that the old method of con-
ducting elections in the South, which
meant Federal supervision and intimida-
tion, is TO be revived, is direct menace
that in the next Presidential election tac-
tics similar to those that were in vogue
several years ago may be resOrted to.
This announcement is made boldly and
insinuatingly. 1t is backed up by
arguments that show to what
strait the Republican mind has been
reduced on account of the recent Ohio
elections. 1t is simply foretaste of
what the Republicans intend to adopt as
the programme, if possible to again steal
the Presidency. 1t was announced too
soon. 1t places the Democratic party on
guard. Under the existing legislation it
is impossible that return should be
made to the old Republican method of
stealing the Presidency. AS the next
House is Democratic there Is no possi-
bility of old legislation being revived, but
there is no doubt that the attempt will be
made, and that the efforts of Republicans
to guarantee a steal of the next Presi-
dency will be one of the leading features
OF Republican attempted legislation be-
fore the next session of Congress.
