The "Statesman's" Advice.
Let Every Pepper Repeat It,"

Mr.. J. w. St. Clair, the gallant
young Trojan of West Virginia De-
mocracy, left here, yesterday, on a
voyage to the far-tamed scenes Of
Monroe. He is the most fit and
suitable man that we have in this
district to represent us in the Sen
ate.-Fayette Democrat.
The temperance people of the 9Th
District will hardly agree that the
man who boosted of receiving $1,000
to lobby against the submission of
the Amendment, is the most fit and
suitable person to represent an hon
est people in the Senate.-W. VA.
FREEMAN.
We would once more urge upon
the Democratic party the necessity
of selecting their very best men to
fill offices of honor and trust. A
large part of our people are Chris
tians, and they want Christian
men to rule over them; and to Sc
cure them votes we must offer them
candidates who have some claims
to morality at least. If Mr.. St:
Clair made the boast above alluded
to, he cannot be elected if nomi ma
ted.-AIderSo1. Statesman.
Would that the leaders Of all po-
litical parties could appreciate the
worth of the StateSn,an's sound ad-
vice. If every newspaper in the
State would insist that clean and
honest men be nominated, Chris
tian voters would not have to
blush for their party tickets as
they do.

Court of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
and COntempts.

The Supreme Court of Appeals
had two novel and important mat
tiers up for hearing last Saturday.
In the matter of Auditor Miller,
VS.. Buchanan, of Brooke county,
for a mandamus to compel Buchan-
an, as assessor, to list property un-
der what is known as the supple
mental assessment order, the Court
rendered unanimous opinion sus-
tanning the Governor and Auditor
and directing the writ to issue.
The other matter that is causing
much stir throughout the State,
was the contempt case" against the
Wheeling Imselligemcer folks, for al
legged improper publications con-
corning the Courts action touch
ing the assessment" case men
toned, while the same was pend
ing.
In this matter, Messrs. w. P.
Hubbard, of Wheeling, and John
A. Hutchinson, of this city, ap-
peared for Mr.. Hart of the Intelt5-
gencer, and plead, denying the
Courts Jurisdiction in the premls-
es, and asking time. Yesterday,
July 1, was set for the argu ment.
These proceedings are being
watched with great interest.

Gordon Pdshd's Religious Yiears.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Naturally enough there is a strong sympa-
thy in Gen. Gordon's character with Moham-
mechanism. Replying to correspondent
who had spoken OF Mohammedansm, as be-
ing imperilled, he said Not so. / find
the MuSsulman quite as good q Christian, as
many Christian, and Go not believe he is
in any peril. All of US are more or less pa
gans. like the Mussulman; he is not
ashamed of his God; his life is fairly pure
one. Certainly, he gives himself good
margin in the wife line, but, at any rate, he
never peaches on others. Can our Christian
people say the same thing"
There is a story to the effect that when the
King OF Abyssinia said to him, You are an
Englishman and a Christian" Gordon re
piled; Il am an Egyptian and Mussul-
man" But whatever truth there may be in
this story, he certainly views all religious
questions in a very broad and Catholic spirit.
The heather are Gods inheritance, and he
hears their prayers The incantations of
the native magicians, when employed in
good faith, are TO him prayers which the
highest does not disdain to hear. When d
NOOgi Balaam cursed him from the river
bank he noted that it was odd a disaster
soon afterwards followed, ~ believe" he
writes, that God may listen to the cries for
help from the heather who know Him not.
These prayers were earnest prayers for ce-
lestial aid in which the prayer knew he
would need help from some unknown power
10 avert q danger. That the native knows
not the true God is true, but God knows him,
and moved him to prayer, and answered his
prayer"
Gen. Gordon is absolutely free from all
fear Of desth. The story of his conversation
with the King Of Abssynia is well known, in
which he informed the King that, so FAR
from dreadng him because his life was in
his hands, he would be obliged to any one
who would relieve him of the burden of life.
That expression, however, conveys a very
erroneous impression of Gordon's habitual
mode Of thought. No one is more cheerful
and few people have less patience with what
ne calls the ''cruet stand" expression of
countenance.
why are people like hearses, and look
like pictures Of misery! 1t must be from
discomfort with the government of God, for
all things are directed by Him. If, by being
doleful in appearance it did good, l would
say be very doleful; but it does not do any,
So strongly, indeed, does he follow this
out, that on one occasion he maintained
that cheerful man of the world was much
more acceptable in Gods sight than a
gloomy Christign.
English farmers are employing quick-lime
to prepare heavy clay soils for the produc-

law against socialists. The electors will find
themselves between these alternatives, to
support either the law or the partizans of the

among the German people a conservative
movement, analogous to that of 1878, after
the attacks on the emperor's life.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.

NEW YORK, March Eft has been rather
a field day for the bears in Wall street. The
Erie securities unsettled the market early,
the second mortgage bonds falling from 90I
to SO, and the stock from % g to 20Y. The
coalers were raided, and on big business
Delaware 81 Lackawanna dropped to 124H,
and Reading from 55 to 5315. The West
Shore bonds were sold in large amounts also
Lake Shore, on the prospect of
another 2 per cent. dividend,
rallied to 102 but gave away later.
st. Paul was pretty well held until near the
close when it also became feeble.
Northern Pacific preferred held its own and
San Francisco preferred advanced to 47%
TIE trade OF the San Francisco line comes
from a country that is full Of grain and it is
enjoying lucrative business. The course
of stocks to-day has been quite discouraging.
Many believed that the sharp decline in the
grain markets would stimulate
the price Of shares. 1t failed
to do so. There was no rally worth men
tioning in the late dealings. The market
closed quiet, with no indications of any i'm
ties appear to be left to take care Of them
selves. On his return he may see fit to
brace them up.
Henry Clews & Co. wired Schwartz s.
Dupee, as follows: "Soon after the opening
of the board the traders felt the sting of
disappointment, that Mr.. Could
did not signalize his arrival by
becoming at once pronounced buyer OF
stocks. Many traders for several days past
have been busy loading themselves up ex-
pecting to sell out on him as soon as bit
reached Wall street. 1t soon became eyidene
to such holders that it was necessary to look
elsewhere for buyers, than to Mr.. Gould, to
shift their burden upon. The market in
consequence has inclined to lower prices ON
the apparent sad reality that Gould is not in
clined to climb for stocks at the present time.
Many uncharitable people indulge
in the suspicion that Gould may
be induced 10 be a buyer after

HOLIDAYS FOR THE LETTER CARRIERS.
The house committee on postottice and

recommend the passage of bill, providing
that all letter carriers at free delivery offices,
be entitled to leave of absence for fourteen
DAYS each year without the loss of pay, upon
the same conditions as now granted employees
in the postofice department.,
THE EXTENSION BILL DEFEATED.
The house, in committee, struck out the
enacting clause of the bonded extension bill
by 131 to 81. The house vote, yeas 1S5,
navs SO, confirmed the action of the COM
mit.ee in striking out the enacting clause
of the whisky bill.
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The river and harbor committee has nearly
| completed the consideration of the proposed
river and harbor bill. 1t is understood the
aggregate of the bill will not exceed 81 ,000,-
| 900. The principal items will be appropria-
tions for the Mississippi river, Missouri river
and the Ohio river, and great harbors on the
Atlantic Pacific, lake and gulf coasts, to the
Mississippi and its tributaries. About
S5,000000 will probably be appropriated
The committee has not yet decided what part
of that amount shall be expended upon the
Mississippi itself. Members of the house are
being invited before the house, to make
such statements as they see proper con-
corning Improvements in their respective
districts and states. The bill will be report
ed to the house not later than April Goth.
PATENTING LANDS.
The house committee on public lands,
agreed to report bill authorizing the pat
enting of lands, to the contesting settlers
within the limits of Maquesamos ranch, on
the Western Pacific railway. The land is in
| California and embraces $4,000 acres.

etedunder the cloak of his absence but that his
time is not yet. There were ruinous rumors
calculated to produce favorable change, such
as the coalers would resume full work after
April first and that the trunk hne raotes were
to be restored at once, which conceded with
the out spoken and sanguine utterances pub
lished in an interview with Vanderbilt in the
papers but they failed to advance prices ex-
cept momentarily. The grain market race

latter sometimes dressed elegantly and ap-
peared well. Fisher was quiet and of pleas
ant address. An old admirer said of him
one day that mo man was ever wrapped
up in a tougher hide than Fisher" He was
run out of Mexico for robbery. He lived on
the border generally. He had killed many
men, his choice being Nexicans. He had a
deadly antipathy to the ''greasers," and en-
| joyed killing them. When Fisher left Mexi-
| co the last time he had several stolen horses
in his possession. His party was pursued.
| When they reached the river he told his
men:
''Wait here till go back to the top of the
hill. If they are so close that We won't have
time to get the horses across, will fire my
gun and you will shoot the horses"
He rode back, and soon the report of his
gun was heard. The Mexicans cameup soon
| after only to find lot of dead and dying
horses.
Fisher was the man who was presented to
Horace Greeley in 1870 or 1871, when the
venerable editor was in Brennan for the pur-
pose of delivering an address before the agri-
cultural society. Mr. Greeley had expressed
desire TO see typical Texas desperate,
| and Fisher good humoredly posed before him
in this character. Mr. Greeley looked at
him searehingly, and said he did not like to
ask an improper question, but he would
really like to know how many men Fisher
had killed
''Only one was the prompt reply.
'Why," said Mr. Greeley, with look of
surprise. II was told that you had killed
five Mexicans at a fandango ON one occa-
sion, to say nothing about many other like
crimes"
'Mexicans!'' calculated Fisher, with a
string Of oaths which startled his inQuisitor;
Il don t call Mexicans men,"
| Among other stories of this mans muir
derous exploits in Mexico is one to the effect
that he charged through a town on the other
side of the Rio Grande with nine pairs of
Mexican ears strung on his bride rein.
