That Have Serious Designs Against the
South.
COLUMBIA, s. c., November 26. - An
agent of the Southeastern Tariff association
is visiting the counties Of this State and
rating property for fire insurance. From
the headquarters of the association it is
learned that South Carolina tops the list
of all the Southern States in excess of losses
over receipts of premiums during the past
eight years. The amount Of net loss is 81
4SS,255, and taking into consideration the
fact that FIVE Southern States show losses for
the same period from 100000 to Sl,OOO,-
600, many of the leading companies are
seriously thinking of entirely Withdrawing
from the south. The chief causes assumed
for the heavy losses have been incendiarism
and in a measure the construction Of so
many frame stories in ranges, causing whole
towns to be destroyed at one fire. Another
serious item is the burning of cotton-g gin
houses, both through accident and incen-
disrism. For instance, nineteen of them
have been burned within the last ten days in
this State fifteen OF them by incendiaries.

BILLINGS, Mont, November pa. }.
Gravile, trader and stockman, who arriv-
ed here yesterday from the Crow agency
says that certain Indian agents and army
officers are parties to a conspiracy to get
control of the Indian lands for very
wealthy syndicate. An interpreter admits
having received $1,000 fer his services in
furthering the scheme by talking it up
among the Indians GRANVILLE says the 9; gu Ii.
dicate has proposed to take 100000
acres of the land for ten years.

cent an acre. The lands they are after lie
in the Yellowstone valley and are very fer
tile They ara accessible to the railroads
and are great value to farmers, being capa
BILE of sustaining a, least 100000 people.
The company wants the lands only for spec
ulative purposes, and it is thought to be its
purpose to get title to the territory through
the medium of lease. The people are very
indignant at the exposures and will make
an effort to have the scheme defeated in
Congress if the lease is consummated.

Although this year shows q smaller
amount of counterfeit money out than any
year since this currency system was estao-
Gshed. we know that there is in the hands
OF eounterfe,ters not less than 100000 OF
new notes in denominations OF $40 and $40
which have been made since July, 1881.
The holders are carefully watching a chance
to pass it. Coin counterfeiters are the
shrewdest and meanest we have to contend
with. This year but little bogus coin has
been made, though arrests for passing 1t
have increased, Some Of the worst OF the
showers class have been caught during the
past twelve months, among. them Rance
Abram, Of New York. Tom Carver and bis
wife, and the Hauchin brothers in Indiana.
Brockway was not an offender against the
United States. We had detectives shadowing
him and Luther Martin and n. B. Foster.
We found out they were making counter
felt railroad bonds and other papers IN no
wise affecting the United States, and put the
New York authorities in possession OF what
we knew. We were glad to see Broekway
and Martin CO. It. probably saved US future
trouble. Foster is awaiting trial.
Chief Brooks rooms contain one OF the
finest criminal museums in the world. Near

laws Of the United States is represented in

arranged where the public can see them:
A veteran attache of the Office is on hand
to show them, and strangely enough his en-
tire time is taken up in explaining the pro-
cesses of the counterfeiting to women who
come in scores daily, consumed with curios'
ity to study this branch of crime.

mean that the ''mugwumpsp or any other
political species, not Democratic, were going
to absorb the Offices. Mr.. CAMDEN thought
there would be no doubt in the least about
the President observing the "Civil Service
Law to the letter, but it must be born 10
mind that the effect Of the law was very cir
eumscribed, and did not probably effect
over five to six thousand of the government
clerical force. In addition to this it had been
put in operation only in the Postofices and
custom houses Of the larger cities such as
New York, Boston, Baltimore and few
others. In cities ike Wheeling and
especially where the law has never been
put in force, it would not operate at all
And in any event it referred only to sp-
Pointments ard not to removals.
The -REIsTER, in asking about the Cab
inet Of the President was informed by the
Senator that Mr.. CLEVELAND enjoyed the
Cabinet making and the matrimonial ar
rangements that the COOL people of the
country were laboring over, more than any
thing that came to hand to relieve the
monotony of his routine work, which is
quite excessive. The President wanted
the people to continue the pleasure
theJ evidently took in the work on
hand. he enjoyed it. they enjoyed it and it
did no harm whatever. He only wanted
one privilege however, which from his force
of character, he is bound to assert, and that
is, after the pubic had come to thorough
understanding about who should compose
his Cabinet and be his domestic partner for
the rest Of his life, and he wanted to have
finger in the pie and decide it for him
self
Funning aside, Mr. CAMDEN says there
is really but one name, so far, cons dered
for the Cabinet and that is the premiership.
This position Senator BAYARD can have 1.-THE

will accept.
On the first of January the Governor will
resign and repair to his old home, Buffalo,
and there remain until he is called to Wash

in relation to the patronage at his disposal,
