CoRKHuL AND KEoGH.
The Reasons Why They are no Longer
in ONCE.

in Office.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE failure OF
one official of the government to receive
a reappointment and of another who was
nominated to position OF prominence to
be rejected by the Senate are due to causes
of interest. / refer to Col. George b.
Corkhill, late United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia, and to Thomas
B. Keogh, whe has just been rejected as
United States Marshal tor North
Carolina. The names of both of
these men are well known in the country.
The latter was for a number Of years Sec
rotary of the Republican National Com
mittee. COrkhill was not reappolnted be-
cause of the opposition of Attorney Gene
raj Brewster. who held that to again
make him a United States District Attor-
ney would be an insult TO his dignity.
The trouble between COrkhlll ana Brew
ster arose before the former became At
torney General. 1t was, of course, ABOUT
those famous failures, the star route
trials. Brewster was then of the special
counsel for the government to prose
cute the trials. He and Mr. Merrick,
another of the counsel, did not have any
confidence in COrkhill. They thought he
dallied with a purpose to secure fallure
by the application of the statutes OF llml-
tation. The time during which the nrst
indictment could be made was rapidly eX-
piring. Corkhill had the indictment IN
his possession. 1t was necessary that he
should sign it. He hung back suspicl0usly
at least so thought Brewster and Mer-
rick. They told their thoughts to wayne
MacVeagh, then Attorney General. Mac
Veagh sent for COrhiu and asked
Brewster and Merrick to be pres
ent at the interview. when
Corkhill came the four got into a private
room. Then Brewster bluntly, and with
out beating around the bush the least bit,
told Corkhill what was thought about
him. When he was through Mac Neagh
said: ''COl. COrkhill, you must sign that
indictment without delay. You must
sign it before you leave this room, or l
will have to ask for your resignation"
The Indictment was sent for and signed.
COrkhill and Brewster were never on
''terms" again.
Thomas B. Keogh succeeded Robert
NJ. Douglass as United States Mar
shall for North Carolina about
SIX months ago under a recess appoint
ment made by the President. He and
Douglass were two or three years ago
bosom friends. Douglass borrowed $1,000
from KeOgh. He gave as security mort
gage notes upon some property in Chlcd-
90, which he Inherited from his father, the
late Stephen A. Douglass, who ran as the
Democratic candidate against Mr.. Lin
coin. Douglass made payment of $4,000.
Keogh, it is alleged, instead of giving up
notes to that amount gave him receipt
for $4,000. He then sold the whole $1,000
of notes at a discount. Douglass, it is to
be presumed, did not like this way of do
ing business. So he appeared before the
Senate Judiciary Committee when Keogh's
nomination was being considered the
other day and told about it. That's why
KeOgh was not confirmed as Douglass
successor.

Ex-Governor Buffers "soul goes a
marching on in Boston. The board of
health, Iunacy, and charity has been IN
vestigating charges against various par
ties for whipping boys who were inden-
tured by the board to learn trades, and
the fact has been developed that in
many cases the poor apprentices had been
subjected to cruel and brutal treatment.
Butler was severely denounced by the
Republicans Of Massachusetts, for ex-
posing the tanning of human skin at the
Tewksbury Almshouse, but as these boys
who have had their hides tanned are
white and alive. no great sensation will
be likely to be created by the inyestiga-
ton"

The Georgia Farmers.

Savannah welcomes to-day as her nom
ored guests the members of the State Az
rieultural Society. A glance at the hst
of officers and delegates, which was pun
lished in the MORNING News OF the ON
inst. shows it to contain many OF oui
best citizens. The influence when lnls
body has exerted on the Industrial lhleI-
ests of the State can not be estimated III
dollars and cents. 1t is eminently pus-
mess body, looking alone to the develop
ment and prosperity of Georgia
The AGRICULTURAL is decidedly the great
industrial interest in Georgia, for on 1t
all other interests depend, and 1t is not
strange that the Agricultural Society
should have embraced many of the most
distinguished and practical minds in the
State in its membership ever since It's or
ganization.
The society was organized in 1916, and
its formation was first suggested by the
late Hon. Mark A. Cooper, OF Barlow
county. Among those who Joined with
him in urging the Importance of its or
ganizatiOn were Geo. W. Crawford,
Charles J. Mcdonald, and Wilson Lump
kin. all three of whom have been Cover
nOrs of the State. 1t was first called the
Southern Central Agricultural Society, and
was intended to include membership from
adjoining States. Under this name 1t
was chartered in 1854. In 1860 the name
was changed to the Georgia state Agri-
cultural Society, and a new charter OBJ
tanned. After the war the society was
reorganized, in 1869, and it has been con-
tinued up to the present time. It's many
fairs have been notable events in the his
tory of the State, and it was through
the earnest recommendation of this So
ciety that the State Department OF Agrl-
culture was organized. Its influence has
had much to do with securing the passage
of the law for the inspection and analysis
of commercial fertilizers, and many other
measures looking to the welfare OF Geor-
gia.
The Presidents of the society have been
men of distinguished ability and intlu-
ence. ana many of them have national
regulations. Since its organization, nearly
forty years ago, it has had only seven
Presidents. They were Hon. Thomas
Stocks, Hon. Mark 4. Cooper, DR.. l.. B..
Mercer. Hon. D. w. Lewis, Col. b. G..
Yancey and Senator A. IL. COlquitt. Its
present President is Hon. Thomas Harde-
man, our Congressman from the State at
large, who has presided over the society
ever since 1876.
The annual meetings of the society have
not only been occasions of pleasant social
reunions, but the proceedings have gen.
orally been of great Importance to the
people, and the essays and addresses have
been almost invariably noted for ability,
learning and practical usefulness.
The subjects Of the essays at the pres
ent meeting are full of interest to the
farmers, not only of this State but of the
entire country. The question of holding
State Fair will also be discussed, and
most probably decided in the affirmative.
eAu interesting programme is laid out
for the entertainment of our guests, and
it is to be hoped every member and visitor
will carry to his home pleasant memories
of this visit to the Forest City.

ARTHUR AND LOGAN.
The Rivalry Between Them for the
Chicago Nomination.

Chicago Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is becoming
a fling pretty generally remarked here
that President Arthur and would-be Presi-
dent Logan, of Illinois, are getting up an
open rivalry for the favor of the Southern
delegates to the next Republican ConYen-
ton. Arthur made the first little fiirta-
ton when he put that clause in his mes
SAGE about civil rights. John A. Logan
has taken his eyes off of the
soldier vote long enough to put in small
bid of his own. This he did with his little
bin TO appoint a commission to visit the
South. and report upon the material and
social progress of the negro since 1865.
He is also loud that the negro shall be
nrotected in all his rights and avenged
when he alleges that those rights have been
invaded. Again, Arthur is holding back
number importantly appointments
in the South until after the convention.
he does not want to antagonize any fac
tion of the Republican party in that sec
ton. There are some who are unkind
enough to say that he is holding those APP
DOintments UP to be given to the Republi-
cans who will do the most to enhance in
the wav of delegates his chances at Chi
caro. 1t remains to be seen which gen.
tleman will capture the coy Southern del
egations to that convention. 1t is almost
merry war.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
tits Threatened with a Damaging Blow

1t is Threatened with damaging BLOW
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Mr. Hoblitzell,
of Maryland, Mr.. Robertson, of Kentucky,
and Mr.. Phelps, of New Jersey, constitute
a subcommittee to whom has been refer
red the bills introduced having for their
object the repeal of the civil service reform
act. These bills are very similar in
character, simply declaring the act re-
pealed. Two of the subcommittee
are in favor of reporting a
repeating bill favorably. They are
Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Hoblitzell. Mr..
Phelps is opposed to such report. Mr..
Robertson told your correspondent to-day
that he did not think there was any doubt
about a bill to repeal being reported to
the full Committee on Civil Service Re-
form. 1t is very doubtful if the full COM
mittee will accept this conclusion. And
it is almost a certainty that the House
will pass no such bill.

An Untrustworthv Guide

In the matter of Arctic navigation Mr..
Chandeliers discretion is an exceedingly un-
trustworthy guide. The failure Of the last
relief expedition was shown to have been
made certain by gross mismanagement and,
though the responsibility for it has not been
fixed precisely, there can be no doubt that,
between Mr.. Chandler and General Ilazen,
the expedition was allowed to depart most
inadeduatelv equipped for its work. 1t is
most desirable that relief be sent to Greedy
and his companions as soon as practicable,
but it will be merely an additional waste OF
human life and money to send another eNpe-
diriOn fitted ont as the last one was.
