Chaumcey Depew Witadraws.
NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Levi. P. Morton is being
gradually forced away ahead OF the other candi-
dates in the for the senatorship from this
State. There were some developments which have
given new and untirely unlocked for phase to the
situation of affairs, and which TEND materially to
strengthen the chances of the minister to Paris In
the first place Mr.. uhauncey Depew has publicly an
nounced his intention not to be candidate and de-
clsIed his preference for Mr.. Morton. Ex-senator
Thomas Platt, who is sai to have gone to Washing
ton recently to confer with President Arthur abo
the senatorship MED the report IN toto and said
that he is now and always has been supporter Of
Morton. it was asserted at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last night that Ex-Governor Cornell had also de-
clared preference for the same gentleman Mr..
Depew's withdrawal is said to be due to the iniu-
of William HI. Vanderbilt. with whom Mr..
Depew is in close business relations. 1t is even
timated that Vanderbilt has absolutely refused to
cancel certain contracts, which will engage Dep
ew's attention for years to come. and which would
make it impossible for him to accept the senator
ship with them on his hands. james ID. Warren
chairman Of the State central committee, is also
gathering strength, and will perhaps prove to be
Mr. Nor ons principal opponent in the ballotiug
though it is thought by some that he will ste aside
at the last moment and disclose President Arthur
as q candidate.

manded him severely and gave him the full extent
Of the law. Murphy afterwards posted Murphy as
a liar, thief and perlurer. A duel was expected
but Ford caused Murphy to be indicted for Grim

gang ON the Clayborn Canal was seated the
steps of the court house, when three men appeared
the opposite side of the street. They were
pointed ont to Murphy as Fords court officers. just
then three other men turned into st. Phillips
street and advanced on Murphy. One of them was
Police Officer Murphy. brother-in-law of Ford, and
one of his officers. The other two answer the de-
scription of Judge Ford and his brother Patrick.
AS they approached Murphy the two Fords drew
two revolvers, ana opened fire. The mon on the
opposite side of the street also fired. One of Cap

His Suggesti0ns COncsrning Cholera.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Surgeon General Hamil-
ton of the Marine Hospital Service, has submitted
his annual report. Forty-four thousand seven hum
dred and ftyone patients received relief from the
service during the year. Owing to the abolishmeDt
of the hospital tax, upon which the service mainly
relied for support, there will be deficiency of at
least S175, 900 by the end of the present fiscal ye
unless the receipts from tonnage dues increase
greatly during the remaining eight moaths. The
receipts from accrued hospital tax. about 100000,
may, however should Congress direct, be applied
to current expenses and thus diminish the antici-
pa.ed deficiency.
The Surgeon General discusses the measures
necessary to prevent the introduction of cholera
into this country, putting much stress upon the
absolute necessity of municipal cleanliness. The
Canadian health officers. he says, worNiI z in
harmony with our own. He refers to the temporary
embargo on old rags and recommends that the law
be SO amended as to provide that hereafter rags
shall be imported into the United States be
transported from State 10 another until such
rags shall have been boiled otherwise disinfected
under such regulations as the Secretary of the

SCANDALOUS WORK.
A Second Attack on she House of the Rev
DIR Rall ia RmffnIn.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec 2.-The hoodlums Of this
city for the second time in two weeks attacked the
house of the Rev. DIR. George H. Ball at about mid
night last night. The occupants of the house were
reused from slumber by the crashing of glass and
the rattling of missiles against the walls window
in the second story was smashed and others were
struck but being of heavy glass and the assailants
being nervous, they were not broken. Lumps of
coal seem to have been the missiles chiefly used
and they were evidently brought by tile rufisns for
the purpose as there is coal lying round loose in
that neighborhood. The attack was made on the
Hudson street front of the house, and the veranda
was covered with fragments of coal in the morning
A large chunk was hurled through the window of
the bedroom iu which DIR Balls two daughters
were sleeping 1t lett its mark the opposite side
OF the room. The police have been on the lookout
for the ufans hut have not as yet captured any OF

THE SOUTH IN THE CABINET.

The New York World sent let
ters to a number of representative
Southern editors for the purpose of
ascertaining their views on the ques-
ton OF the Souths representation in
President Cleveland's Cabinet Il was
asked how many places in the Cabinet
the South would expect and what
men the South had to take them.
The first reply given is that OF Mr..
A. 9. ColyAr, of the Nashville Ameri-
can. He thinks the South ought to
have two Of the Cabinet members and
said, The most thoroughly represen-
tative man we have is Senator Joseph
e. Brown-representatiye, because he
is conservative in his politics and de-
voted to building up our material in
terestS ]. ID. C. Atkins would make
good Cabinet officer il his health
would enable him to do the work, and
my information ia that his health 10
greatly improved"
Mr.. w. B. Bernard, OF the Whining
ton, N. c., Star, thinks two Southern
ers should have places in the Cabinet
and that Senator Garland, of Arkansas,
stands pre-eminent for the Attorney
Generals place.
Mr.. c. II. Jones, of the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Times-Union, thinks that an
the recent campaign the South was
not actuated by desire for spoils."
He nevertheless says that either
Carlisle, Lamar, German, Garland,
Hampton, Blackburn or Jones, of
Florida, would add strength and dig
nifty to Cleveland's Cabinet"
Mr.. d. A. Brewer, of the Little Rock
Gazette, thinks Senator Garland is one
man whose presence in the coming
Cabinet would give representation to
the class "best fitted" | do not care
to mention any others, but speak of
him as conspicuous representative
of the new South" that lives in the
PAG5CAENy pCAAOsC1 III SACab AubuEc AOL
the whole country and is willing to
let the past take care OF itself. / be-
lieve the selection OF any one from the
South tinctured, even in the slightest
degree, with reactionary tendencies
would be grave mistake"
Mr.. G. E. Wright, of the Vicksburg
Herald, thinks the cotton States ought
10 have one representative, and the
border States one. He knows that the
Hon. H. d, Money, of Mississippi,
would make one OF the best Post
master Generals we have had since the
war"
Mr. J. NJ. Heating, of the Memphis
Appeal, discusses the matter at length.
His conclusions are that Harris, Of
Tennessee, and Lamar of Mississippi,
tower above all other possible sspi-
rants, but that neither Of them will &C
cept Cabinet position. Leaving them
ont, he thinks that Garland, Gordon,
Money and WhitthOrne will do.

THEY WANT THE SALARIES.

MessrE. Savage, Gordon and Turley
have fled n bill in the Chancery
Court at Nashville TO compel the
Comptroller to pay them the salaries
that have been withheld since they
were enjoined from discharging the
duties of their Office. =
The law creating the Office OF rail-
road commissioner provides that the
salaries shall not be paid in the event
that the commissioner be restrained
from acting, but this cheeky trio,
whom it WAS hoped we had heard the
last Of, claim that it ia only the great
trunk lines that have enjOined them
and that they have been very actively
engaged in regulating a few branch
roads and narrow gauges, hid about in
the hills and hollows, and they de-
mand pay for this valuable service.
1t was well known that Savage and
his confreres were running for sala-
ries and the fact was frequently as
serted during the campaign, but just
this height of sublimated gall was not
looked for.
The commissioners have already
received several thousand dollars of
the peoples money for doing absolute
" nothing, and this further demand
on the State Treasury for no services
rendered is simply outrageous.
John Savage, with all the magnify
ing power that he places upon the
importance of his personal performan-
ces, cannot point out q single result
that has come from the action OF the
commissioners, except that the State
has been involved in two law suits
which will cost it a considerable
amount in addition to the money al
ready paid the commissioners
The most rampant regulator can
scarcely approve of this last gymnastic
of the commissioner. 1t will increase
the bad odor in which they and their
kind are already held in Tennessee
and add, if possible, few more clods
10 old John Savages political grave.
For that much we are devoutly thank
