Death OF Minister Hunt.

William II. Hunt. our Minister at st.
Petersburg, whose death is announced in
our dispatches this morning, belonged to
the well-known Hunt family, Of New Or
leans. Mr.. Hunt claimed New Orleans as
his home, and his appointment was cred
tied to Louisiana. He was candidate
for Attorney General on the Packard
ticket in 1876. Until that year he had
not been known as a Republican, al
though he did not sympathize strongly
with the Democrats. He was a
fine orator. a good lawyer and, before he
entered politics, enjoyed an excellent
practice. lie lost his law business when
he sought office, and after the settlement
Of the political troubles of 1876 he sought
and secured from HAYES an appointment
as one of the Judges of the Court OF
Claims. He left that position, for which
he was we'll qualified, to accept a place in
Garield's Cabinet, as Secretary Of the
Navy, for which he was not
fitted. When Arthur became President
Mr.. Hunt was offered the place
Of Minister to Russia, not because he was
particularly wanted at st. Petersburg
but because he was not wanted in tho
Cabinet. Mr.. Hunt was pompOus and
rather egOtistical, but generous and kind
hearted. The Hunts of Louisiana are men
of ability, and the dead Minister was not
an exception.

Charse- Again.t Judge Locke

nalLc- a 8aGu~t > uH9c AOcnts
1t looks as if the enemies of United
States District Judge Locke, of Key West,
intend to press the charges which they
made against him last spring as yigor-
ously as possible. 4 petition containing
these charges. supported by afidavits,
was sent to Speaker Carlisle few days
ago by citizens Of Key West. The Speaker
gave it to Mr.. Davidson, Of Florida, who
introduced it in the House. Il was re-
ferred to tine judiciary Committee. i
asks for the Impeachment Of Judge Locke,
and 1t NAV be heard Of again as soon as
the committee has time to give it atten-
ton. The charges are four III number.
The first is that the Judge attempted to
improperly influence voters in Monroe
county IN the interest Of himself and
friends. The second is that he was the
owner Of the schooner Pelican. and de-
creed salvage TO that vessel, which he re-
ceiyed. The schooner, it seems. saved a
lot Of railroad iron from the wrecked ship
st. james. The third is that while
Judge he engaged i'm the occupation
Of pawnJr0ker and Usurer. The fOurthis
that he engaged i'm the business Of dealer
i'm leaf tobacco without first having paid
the tax and taken out the license required
by law. The charges are made with great
minuteness Of detail, and the names of the
witnesses by whom 1t is alleged the
charges can he sustained are given. 1t is
not at all improbable that Judge Locke
can satisfactorily explain away all the
charges. He certainly doesn't look like
the bold, bad man he is represented to be.
lie made a very good impression on the
bar Of this city when he held court here
a few weeks ago. 1t may be that Judge
Locke has not pursued course
entirely satisfactory TO some of the hey
West Federal officials, and that they are
anxious to get rid Of him. Some Of the
alleged offenses are more than ten years
old. having been committed, according to
the affidayits, away back in 1872. II the
purpose of those who make the charges is
to see that justice is done, it looks as
if steps to that end ought to have
been taken good while ago. This long
delay looks suspicious to say the least Of
it. However. if there is anything in the
charges the Judiciary Committee can be
depended on TO see that Judge Locke
answers them.

The Washington Star publishes report
that the Manning-Curtin episode few
AGO. i'm which Gov. Curtin presented Mr.
Manning at the bar OF the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes and demanded that he be sworn
in as member on the certificate Of the
Governor Of the great and loyal State of
Mississippi. was all a ''cut-and-dried'
affair. and that it was done bY collision
with the Speaker so as to make Mr.. Man
ming solid with his constituents at the
next election. While it Is no. improbable
that Gov. Curtin may have had some in
timation as 10 what the ruling Of the
Sneaker in such a case would be, the story
is a most unreasonable one that Mr.. Car
Isle was in the plot. He IS not the man
to become knowingly a party to such
farce. Mr.. Manning had refused to accept
and file the Governors certificate, and II
is seIf-evident that he regretted his course
when he saw that the House vas not DIS
posed to shoulder responsibility that he
himself had shirked. Had Messrs. Cur
tin and Manning not attempted the coup
~ etat and not made such a spectacle Of
themselves. the country at large, as well
as the people Of Mississippi, would have
thought more Of them. While the course
Of the committee in the Manning-Chal-
mers contest and the ruling of the Speaker
in this case does great credit on the
conservatism Of the Democrats in the
House, it is to be regretted that this incl
dent reflects somewhat on the Judgment
and dignity Of the two principal actors
in it.

Hon. J. ;. W Use. a Readjuster Congress
man from Virginia, appears to occupy an
/ anomalous political position. He hasin-
! terested himself very deeply in behalf of
! the blOOdy-shirt apostles Of the Republic
can party. and put himself to a great deal
OF trouble to preserve copies Of the
| speeches, newspapers and campaign
documents Of the Democrats, used in the
recent campaign in his State, which by
I any possible strain or misconstructiOn
could De regarded as tending to infame
the whites, and unite them against the
rule and methods of the MahOneites. The
fight was very bitter, and there were
plenty Of red hot speeches on both sides.
What really united the white people of
Virginia was no doubt the social equality
tendency of the Mahoneites, as well as
their corrupt political intrigues with the
Republicans and negroes.
Wise is a scion Of an honorable Virginia
family. and the iron Of defeat must have
sunk deep into his soul TO cause him to
join in the crusade which Sherman and
Malone are making against the people Of
that state He certainly knows that he
.
it IS rare for a man who once becomes
entaugled in alliances with a corrupt fac
ton TO retain sufficient stamina and lofty
sentiments TO enable him 10 rise above his
surroundings.
But what do the negroes and the adv0-
Gates Of negro equality, think Of the public
avowal Of Mr. Wise before the Sherman
Investigating Committee that '.no negro
had ever presumed TO claim social priv
leges by reason Of political affiliations with
him. The negroes who followed him
down Pennsylvania avenue day or two
ago could not have understood clearly in
what estimation he held them.
1t Is only politically that he is willing
10 recognize them as having a respectable
and definite position, and then that posi-
ti0n must be as supporters Of J. :. Wise.
Had they not been the supporters Of Wise
and his allies he and his compatriots
would have felt no great solicitude in
their behalf.
"Coiored members Of the Legislature
came TO his house to consult him. but
they always came TO his Kitchen" Is
this lust exactly the way for a statesman
Of Mr.. Wise's stamp to treat the colored
man and brother: While it is acknOwl-
edged that a kitchen has peculiar attrac-
tions for the average negro, whether poll
tician or not, has not the Readjuster lieu
tenant treated them as servants and I'M
derlings. and would it have been wisdom
on the part OF Virginians to have permitted
the power and wealth and honor of their
State to continue in the hands of those
with whom the Readjusters themselves
would accord only kitchen acquaint-
ance? The days Of kitchen statesmen,
however, are numbered IN Virginia, and
the end Of their power and influence can
come none too soon.

The local option law Of Florida has been
declared valid by the Chief Justice. The
law was attacked on the ground that it
had never passed the Legislature. There
seems to have been no trouble in showing
that it was regularly adopted by both
branches Of the Legislature and signed BY
the Governor. According TO the Times
Union it is to be attacked on another
ground. The ground is THAT the Collector
Of Revenue cannot issue such licenses as
are authorized by it. The claim to be set
up is that the act for the assessment and
collection Of revenue empowers the Col
lector 10 issue licenses only for state,
counties. incorporated cities, or towns,
and that no provision is made for license
for an election precinct, such as the local
option law calls for" 1t is thought that
