TiIhen,s Candidate.

Mr.. Pulitzer, the editor Of the New
York World. gives his views respecting
Presidential candidates in Tuesdays New
York Herald. II is rather an interesting
interview, but its value is in a measure
destroyed by the impression conveyed by
the latter part Of it that it is an adyer-
tisement for the World newspaper. Some
very interesting articles appear in the
newspapers containing references to the
wonderful virtues Of certain patent medi-
cines, and this interview with Mr.. Pulit-
ger appears to be modelled on the plan Of
those articles. The Introduction to the
interview states that MI. Pulitzer lives
next Mr.. Tilden in New York. and that
he has frequent opportunities to talk
with the sage OF GreystOne. Mr..
Pulitzer says that Mr.. Tilden told
him not very long ago that he
was not candidate for the Presidency,
and that he would not be. This appears
to satisfy Mr.. Pulitzer that it is all folly
TO speculate about the probability of nomi-
mating Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Pulitzer even
goes so far as to insinuate that Mr.. Dana,
of the Sun, although weighing 200 pounds,
is such a changeable sort Of a person that
it is not worth while for the country to
pay much attention to what he says about
political matters. This insinuation may
be regarded as rather harsh, but it must
be admitted that the SIN has been rather
changeable and sensational respecting
Presidential candidates. Mr.. PulitZer's
idea is that Mr.. Tilden doesn't want the
nomination himself, but wants to say
who shall have it. This is a very laudable
ambition, and it is not improbable
that he Will have some influence
in shaping the work of the nominating
convention. Mr.. Pulitzer thinks that
Mr.. Payne, of Ohio, is Mr.. Tilden's choice.
This is only Mr.. PHlitzer's opinion. 1t is
pretty certain that Mr.. Tilden never
limited anything Of the kind to him. As
Mr.. Payne has announced, through his
son, that his name would not be before
the convention, it may be that Mr.. Tilden
mas some one else in mind. Mr.. Pulitzer
ought to have interviewed Mr.. Tilden on
this point before allowing himself to be
interviewed. His information might have
been fresher and more valuable.

WHEN Queen Victoria, so runs the account

scotch journal When Brown said quite
civlly that the Queen wished him to move
away ne said he had quite as good a right to
remain there as the Queen. To this Brown
answered very strongly. upon which the I'M
pertinent individual asked, ibid he know
who he wasy" and Brown answered he did
and that ''the highest gentleman in England
would not dare do what he did, much less a
repOrter"-and he must move on or he would
give him something more. That is the Queens
report of it. The reporter. who was the
representative Of a Scotch Conservative jour
nal, gives a slightly different account. Ac-
cOrding to him, Brown began the converse
ton by asking, "Do you know who ! ann" to
which the reporter replied, Yes, you are

The Immieration Nreeting.

The immigration meeting last night at
the Exchange was not very large, but
those who were present seemed fully alive
to the importance of the subject which
brought them together. The necessity
Of doing something to make known to
those seeking new homes the advan-
tages of the South, whether they
are our fellow citizens of the North and
West, or the people of the crowded
kingdoms of the Old World, was
fully appreciated. but what should
De done to make these advantages
known. or what kind of an organi-
zation was suitable to accomplish that
object. was not so readily determined.
There are plenty Of good, cheap
lands in the South. especially in GeOr-
gia. capable of supporting hundreds
Of thousands Of people. This is a well
known TACT, and the only question is, how
to manage so as to make these lands
available in an immigration movement.
1t was decided that the best plan was to
appoint delegates to the Southern Immi-
grafton Convention at Nashville, who
should gather what information they
could at that meeting, and on their return
to Savannah report. if possible, some
feasible plan for a State Immigration So
ciety. Anexcellent delegation, composed
Of gentlemen who are able and willing to
20 to Nashville, was selected. If they
learn anything practical from the
convention we may reasonably expect
on their return that an organization in
the interest Of immigration Will be eff
fected.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Mr.. Conkling and the Electoral Com
mission.
PhiLadelphia Recore

ftttLAttyftttt AteCOfWs
Mr.. Conkling, l see, denies much Of the
alleged interview with the Rev. Mr.. Sny-
der, of St. Louis. l do not wonder at his
denial Of the words the amateur reporter
puts IN his mouth, especially that part
which makes COnkling opposed to the
Electoral Commission. MIR. COnkling on
two occasions distinctly told me that he
was the author Of the Electoral Commits
sion scheme Of 1871. | never heard any,
thing more graphic than his account
given to me as l sat smoking with him in
his library, while he chewed the end of an
Unlighted cigar-of his talk with Grant
and Sherman over the perils that would
probably environ the Inauguration of
Hayes. Grant was depressed, terribly
so, and said he only wanted to get
ing to shed blood - anything and
everything for peace. Sherman
was full of fight; he believed in his artil-
lerY, and could end any row IN half an
hour with his regular batteries. COnk-
ling walked up and down the room the
conversation took place in the evening at
the White House J, listening to the two
Generals and saying nothing until they
had finished. Then he stopped in front of
Grant, and, reaching out his fOrefnger
impressiYely Che acted it all out to me J.
unfOlded his plan for an Electoral Com
mission. When be had finished Grant
jumped to his feet, grabbed him by the
hand, and said: Chats it. It's all right,
Sherman. Conkling has saved us"
Conkling got sick of ais electoral scheme
before it finished its work, and lodged the
vote on Louisiana; but he has not only
always claimed to be the father of the
job, but that it was the only way to get
out Of the difficulty and avoid civil war.

MARRY ME OR DIE"
An Insane Girl Tries to Maintain Her
Leap Year Right with a Butcher

An Insane Girl Tries to Maintain Her
Leap Year Right with a Butcher
Knife.
Finley Small is an employe Of the Sugar
Bun Tanhery, at Elkton, Pa, says a spe-
ciaI of the Sd inst. to the New York
World, and boards with a family named
Jordan. Elizabeth Galloway, aged nine
teen, was the servant. Last week Mrs.
Jordan's father died and the family went
to the funeral, leaving Small and the SER
want in charge Of the house. AS the fun
eral was in a distant village the JOrdans
were obliged to remain away over night.
At the supper table Friday night Miss
Galloway suddenly remarked to Small
that she wanted to get married and asked
MIN if he would marry her. He laughed
and said he was not in need of a wife.
She replied that 'sbe wanted a husband
and he must marry her." Small made re-
Spouse that it required two to make bar
gain of that kind and thought the girl was
joking, but when he again positively re-
fused to be her husband she angTily de-
clared that he would never marry any
other woman.
Small retired to bed about 80 O'Clock.
lie soon tell asleep but was awakened
some time in the night by a bright light
shining in his eyes. 1t came from a lamp
held by Miss Galloway, who was standing
by his bedside. In her right hand she
grasped a large butcher knife, which she
held as il about to strike. Small sprang
up and caught the girl by the wrist and
tried to take the knife from her. She de-
clared that she had come to kill him be-
cause he had refused to marry her. In
the struggle the lamp fell to the floor and
went out. Small dragged the girl to the
door of his room and succeeded in getting
her out, but he had not been able to Sc
cure the knife. There was no lock on the
door, and as the girl took up a position on
the outside and declared that she would
wait until he came out and then kill him,
