Or the sl44, ,5S3, 1886 of Internal
Revenue collected by the government
during the fiscal year just closed,
Kentucky paid sl5, 1881, ,677.63 about
as much as Ohio and three times as
much as Indiana, though those States
greatly outnumber her in population.
The reduction of the revenue this
year by the law enacted by the last
Congress is estimated at s42, 2,638, ,503,
which comes from such articles as per.
fumery, patent medicines and the
like, and reduces the amount of reve.
nue. without benefiting any body.
This swindling piece of business stands
to the credit of republican Con.
gress. The next being strongly dem
ocratic in the lower House, will at.
tempt thorough revision of the tariff
laws and in reducing the revenue will
have an eye to the lifting of the bur
den from an over taxed people and
not merely try 10 hOodwink the coun.
try as the republicans have tried.

KENTUCKY and Ohio present beau
tiful evidences Of the manner of men
that can be elected to the highest Of.
fee in the gift of their people. The
former has n loon, the latter a knave
to preside over them. Both are bad
enough, but we believe we would rath'
er worry along another month with
Blackburn than TO swap him of for
Foster, even for a day. His treache-
ry towards Sherman and his recent at
tempt to retail miserable slander,
stamp him as a man devoid of honor
aud principle. He charged that
Hoadly had obtained his nomination
by paying $4,000 down for it, and
when the latter gentleman character
ICES the statement as maliciously fake,
in whole and in part, and demands
the grounds upon which he makes it,
Foster shows himself a coward as well
as knave by saying "a man told him
go" Hoadly again denied the state
ment and called for the name of the
man, but foster wrote him he was not
at liberty to disclose it. 1t only re-
mains now for Hoadly TO brand Foster
as a dirty liar and base calumniatOr
and turn him to his vomit.

THE result of the trial of Marsh L.
Polk, late Treasurer of Tennessee, il
very gratifying in these times, when
it seems almost impossible to convict
a man of money or position, no mat
ter how clear and how great his guilt.
The jury, although abused for its igno-
rance, showed itself true TO its oaths,
for it found him guilty, fixed his
punishment at twenty years in the
penitentiary and fined him 366,54O.-
10 the full amount of his ascertained
stealings from the Treasury. His
lawyers of course, moved for a new
trial and the strangest part of the bu-
siness is that he is allowed to remain
on bail till this question is decided by
the Court. Perhaps the officers think
he is too good to occupy felon's cell
and it may be the whole thing may yet
turn out farce of the Star-route or
der. In the mean time Polk is play
ing the insanity dodge. Which is to be
used should the judge fail to grant
him a new trial.

Chesapeeke & Ohio Cannl.

The secretary and superintendent Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal returned to An
napolis yesterday from paying of canal
employees. Two months arrearages were
paid, leaving several months dues yet to be
met The arrearagcs to date on this ac-
count are about $4,000. On Monday next
the stockholders of the canal will hold the
annual election for president. 1t is not
known that there is any opposition to
President Lewis G. Smith, who has been in
the Office not quite year. Mr.. Smith
went to Annapolis yesterday evening to
finish his report. He says the canal is in
frst-rate condition and doing a fair share
Of business, considering the rivalries which
exist in the coal trade, and the fact that the
large business anticipated before the season
began has not been realized by any of the
transportation lines. Mr.. Smith says the
demand, whether for Cumberland or Clear
field, is measurably less than was expected.
Tho fact is recognized, also, that this season
Newport News has done considerable
business in coal brought to Hampton Roads
by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad.

The excursion to this beautiful spot on
Decoration day was in every respect most
enjoyable occasion, and the simple fact of
its being conducted by the Baltimore &
Potomac Railroad Company was sufficient
guarantee of its being success. Some of
our best citizens composed the party which
left here at 1880 in the morning bound for
this place. The scenery along tho entire
route is grandly picturesque and created
much enthusiasm from the excursionists.
Arriving at Pen Mar the party took
carriages, and ascending the mountains
about two miles, reached the point
called High Rock. A large structure has
been built on this great mass of granite,
and from this point the landscape which
meets the eye, on one hand the majestic
Alleghanies and on the other the Blue
Ridge Mountains, whilst the beautiful
Cumberland Valley rolling in between,
paint picture which pen cannot describe.
About five hours were at the disposal of
the party and were spent very pleasantly
in dancing swinging, riding, target shoot
ing, ETC.. and, contrary to the usual custom
at excursion resorts, the caterer did not de-
mand fabulous prices for poor meals, but
bountiful dinner was served in first-class
style at moderate sum.
Altogether, it was a great success, and it
is hoped that excursions to this place will
be given frequently during this season.

A Church 1870 Years Old.

Persons going to Ocean City by way OF
the Wicomico River have probably had
pointed out to them the quaint and ancient
pile of brick resting on the high ground
just beyond the waters edge, at Green Hill.
On the wall facing the river are the figures
'1733." The old building is st. Bartholo.
news Protestant Episcopal Church. 1t is
exactly $50 years old, and is landmark in
church history. Bishop Lay referred to it
in his address at st. Pauls Church on Tues
day, and highly commended its first rector,
the simple-hearted energetic Alexander
Adams. The walls are of imported brick,
are still strong; but the roof, doors and
windows are giving way. Bishop Lay
thinks that it would be work befitting
this anniversary year of the church in
Maryland to repair the building and to
preserve it for the use of congregation
hereafter to be gathered. With this pur-
pose in view he has appointed as commit
tee to receive contributions the Rev. f. B..
Adkins, Quantico, Wicomico County; the
Rev. Geo. w. Bovine, Salisbury DR.. Robert
Atkinson, No. 277 Linden avenue, and Mr..
Cassius M. Dashiell, No. 10 North street,

A Barge Party.

Among the many delightful events of
Decoration Day was the excursion of eight
members of the East Capitol street Barge
Club to Fort Foote. The party, compris-
ing Messrs. George Siggers, Edward Siggers,
John Gregory and William French, and
Misses Marcy Simpson, Kate Siggers, Aunie
Wilkinson and Cora Siggers, started in their
barge Allen, from Summers boathouse, at
half-past eight. After stopping at Alexan-
dria to replenish their store of provisions,
the party proceeded down the river until
the fort was reached, where the fires were
kindled for lunch, which was participated
in with relish by the entire party. Six
hours of solid enjoyment were passed at the
fort, after which the party proceeded
homeward. The barge was noticeable
feature on the river that day, flags and
streamers contributing to produce that
effect. The party reached home at o'clock
p. M, after passing delightful day, which
will be long treasured in the annals of the
club.

Pedestrians at Fisticuffs,

There was an unexpected display of ply
sical force early last night at Kernan's Sum
mer Garden in Baltimore. Hughes, the
first man in the contest so far, struck Hart.
the colored pedestrian, while both were on
the track, and lively tussle ensued be-
tween them. Mrs. Hughes, who has been
a faithful attendant on her husband, inter-
fered to separate the men. Hart tried to
bite her, but only succeeded in biting the
sleeve of her dress. The combatants were
parted. Hughes continued on his course,
but Hart retired. He came out twice after
ward, but remained on the track but a
short time. The trouble, it is said, was
caused by Hart, who applied insulting
names to Hughes. Hughes pounded him
in the face and then threw him against the
rail Of the track. Some one tampered with
Hughes food yesterday, and he was very
sick for while. At 10 o'clock last night
he had 425 miles, Noremac 400, Panchot

MAY SUCCESS ATTEND HIM.
A Washington Journalist Sets His
Fape Westward.

$50 you are going to Oregon ?" said THE
CRITIC to Hewlett, of the Republican.
YES" said he, ~ went into the West
twelve years ago, and can never be salts
fled until get back; though my opportu-
nifty leads me much farther this time than
i went before"
"And what will you do?"
"Well, have some business that takes
me out there anyhow, and once there l
will be pretty sure to go into newspaper
writing"
II understand that you have already
made arrangements?"
well, so have, but too much has been
said about that. l go to take writer's
place on well-established, first.class daily
NOT to take charge of it, or anything Of
that sort, as has been said. 1t is already in
capable hands, but its publishers want more
writing, and it occurs that they want the
sort l can furnish-so they buy mine.
That is ALL"
Hewlett is of the class of men who will
get on well anywhere. He came to Wash
ington a year and a-half ago from Ken
lucky. When about twenty years of age
he went there from Massachusetts, and
spent dozen years or more on the CONNER
cidl The trouble was it was Republican
daily in hopclessly Democratic city and
State, and he fought it uphill until
majority of the stockholders decided to
mako an independent paper of it. Mr..
Hewlett in some way got out and fell back
upon Washington as correspondent of the
Courier.Jompal. He served that paper
through the first session of the Forty-Se
enth Congress. Then he fell into plenty of
work on Republican papers, and the
ConIier-Journdl sent Democrat
from the home Office. Last ses-
sion he had the general work
of the New York Associated Press for the
House end Of the Capitol, and was regular
writer for the Republican, with which he
has been connected ever since, doing much
good work outside for New York, Chicago
and Boston papers, as there was demand.
He is man to 60 to the front,
full Of political information and intimate
with political leaders a writer who goes to
the centre with pleasing directness, and an
easy. speaker. The newspaper men in
Washington will be sorry to lose him. He
has been favorite with them since he came
here, and was made president of the first
successful press club the boys have ever
had.

A suspected Duel Ayerted.

Warrants were issued in Richmond last
night for the arrest of Charles E. Potts,
Louis d. Minnegerode and J. d. Potts, a
brother of the first.named. They were
charged with being about to fight duel.
Mr.. Charles L. Potts was defendant in a
slander suit in the Richmond Circuit Court
brought by Mr.. Minnegerode. The case had
been pending for some months, but was dis
missed yesterday by the consent of both
parties. Mr.. Potts and his brother, ]. d.
Potts, were arrested last night and gave
bail. Mr.. Minnegerode has not been found.
1t is supposed that hostile correspond
ence has taken place between Charles Z.
Potts and Mr.. Minnegerode, and that O
meeting was fixed for this morning.

Mrs. Phil Thompson has made state
ment in relation to the causes which led to
the shooting of Walter Davis by her hus-
band. She recites the circumstances of her
joining Miss Jessie Buckner at the st. Clair
Hotel, Cincinnati, and of Mr.. Davis call
upon them there. Mrs. Thompson says
that Davis had theatre tickets, but Miss
Buckner said that she had an appointment
that would prevent her going with them.
She denies pointedly that she was drunk,
and says that the story Of champagne bot
ties is an infamous lie. Mrs. Thompson
says she was taken ill at the theatre, and
when they returned she could not get into
Miss Buckner's room. She says she knows
who was in there, but dare not tell. Davis
then invited her to his room, and she sat
before the fire for an hour and then tried
Miss Buckners door again and was ad-
mitted, "As God is my judge, she says,
Walter Davis was not guilty of any
wrong" OF her husband she would say
nothing but that he had killed Davis upon
the urging of bad advisers.

KENNEDY DEFEATED.
Hanlan Heats Him by Foar or Five
Ieuufbs.

The match race, single sculls, between
Edward Hanlan and John A. Kennedy for
$4,000 side was rowed yesterday at Point
of Pines, near Boston, distancs three miles
with turn. A start was made at 6:3i,
and Kennedy took slight lead, which he
kept during the first mile Hanlan, how
ever keeping Kennedy well up to his
work. At a turn in the course Hsnlan
headed Kennedy, and he turned the stake
boat four or five lengths in advance. Az
ter the first mile Hanlan evidently had the
race in his own hands, and after turning
stroke TO the minimum and r0wed at ease,
while Kennedy kept nearly the same
stroke throughout the race. The official
time was Hanlan, 10 minutes seconds:
Kennedy, 10 minutes SO seconds.
