" hich VIII SHOW Up mr. Artnur anu
Impeaeh Stanley Matthews.
WAsHINGToS, April 2.-These is Q great
deal of talk here oSsr the anticipated arri-
val Of ex-senator Dorsey. He has been
summoned to appear here by the goth Of
this month, and already several who are
interested in his prOpo:ed disclosures have
gone West to head him off, and if possible
anticipate what he is going to say. A gen.
tleman who has had access to Dorsey's let.
teI-5Ook in the past says he has huge
memorandum book ofreceiPts and disburse-
men,s during the last Presidential cam
psign, and letter book containing mum.
Der Of interesting spistles. 1t is understood
that Dorsey has really held back ali of his
thunder until the eve of the campaign with
a definite purpose. He will come 10 Wash
ington cunning for three particular men.
First, il is claimed that he will be able to
show enough about Arthurs part in the
money campaign to entirely bowl him out
as a candidate. Ii IS said that Dorsey can
show that Arthur knew of the agreement
made in the interest of Stanley Matthews
and that he personally received SlOOOOO
of the subscription fund OtC. z. Huntington
and that he transmitted this money to
n
say that the agreement will be so clearly
shown up that the impeachment of Justice
Matthews will be warranted, aud that the
scandal will end the political fortunes o.
ali those connected with it.
Then the Attorney General is another
object of Dorsey's wrath. He has been
working hard for evidence against him ana
thinks be will show his connection with
Bnsler and how Bosler secured immunity
for his Star Route friends. Mr.. Springer
Is very reticsnt, but he was never so we'll
satisfied with his investigation as at the
present time. IL there was not some truth
m all this, such earnest efforts would not
De made to mead of Dorsey. Some or the
Republican politicians now say that Dor.
ssN will never reach Washington, and that
De will he ersuaded TO bury the proofs OF
the ra<calliy of the Republican scoundrels

West But Springer is confident that Dor

RALEIGH, N c., April 2.-The RePuon'
eau Convention OF the Third Congressional
district to appoint delegates to Chicago Is
called to meet in Goldsboro on Thursday,
April "A. The Baptist Standard, the organ
OF the colored Bsptists OF this State, in the
last issue declares for John A. Logan ior
President, as follows:
Judging from our exchanges and other
sources, General John A. Logan Is the
most prominent candidate for the next
President OF the United States. From all
sides we hear that the Generals past po-
litical record makes him worthy OF the
highest honors that can be conferred py
the Nation. AS fo- as, We are tor Logan
every time, so long as he remslns trlen9
and advocate of popular education ana
equal rights for all American CITIZENS
regardless OF race, color or previous conol'
tion of servitude The people, and especially
the colored race, should support no person
for office without II guarantee from MIN
that he will advocate popular educauon
and equal rights before the law. we tnlnK
the time is at hand when the public othces
should be filled with occupants VINO have
IDo lnteItsts VI lne mhoLo PTop4S s
and not with a set of men who seem to be
nothing more than so many pickets TO
guard the Interests of certain party, or,
in other words, filled with politicians who
are mere party tools. Give us men who
love education and justice and who WILL
strive to benefit their constituency, ana
our Government will cease to be farce.
There are more colored people members
of the Baptist Church than OF any other
denomination in this State, and their
papers haye great influence among the
brethren. Every colored man selected as
delegate will be for Gen. Logan. The
President will have votes from this State
on the first ballot, but when the canven.
ton gets down to work the delegation will
be nearly solid for Logan.

Military discipline is in no way relaxed
and the barricades at the Jail are guarded

some of the morning papers are severely

One of the most encouraging outward
sig s of the supremacy Cf order has Just

the streets about the Court House. At
noon the first street cars on the Mt. Au'
burn Line were permitted to pass through,
after having been shut out since half past
o'clock Saturday night, when pistol firing
spd stone throwing in front of the Court
House so intimidated the drivers aud
conductors that they refused to further risk
their lives. Travel of all kinds was at once
resumed about the Court House. One
of the first lots OF freight delivered on
North Court street wwas an immense
uusntity of bacon TO a pork house opposite
the Court House. There is no longer that
mensciDg attitude of presented arms, and
but very few soldiers are pacing the side
walks around the Court House for the pur
pose Of preventing yenturesome persons
from entering the dangerous structure.
The entire military force will be with

orders. The latest revised list of the dead

MUEcIE, IND, April "A destructive
cyclone struck this county about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, wiping village seven
miles south of here on the Ft. Wayne,
Cincinnati and Louisville entirely out OF
existence and doing inestimable damage
to life and property. About Eve O'Clock
heavy black cloud came driving from the
west and another from the north. The two
clouds met at the house of Lewis Cochran,
two miles from 0skville and lifted it bodily
from the foundations, tearing it into
kindling wood and depositing it two and
q half miles away. A minute later II
struck Oakville, carrying death and de-
struction in its track OF thirty.fve houses

large warehouse and sawmill adjoining are
in ruins and the scene is chaos OF rubbish
of whose ownership it is impossible to tell:
Anna Dearborn, an old lady, the sons OF
Colonel johnson and James Sands were
killed and two other persons W hose names
were not ascertained. Christian Twin lost
every thing and had his house blown from
over his head, but like Cochran, escaped
unipjured. ID. Hale had q new house re.
moved entirely from the foundation. The
track of the cyclone was about quarter oil
mile wide and destroyed everything 10
its track.
The following were killed: Mrs. Anna
Dearmond, widow, sged 90 years; Susan
Hiles, aged Is years. When discovered
she was in an almost nude condition, her
clothing having been entirely blown from

The Fiat Goes Out Among Chicago
POstoffice Employees.


CHICAGO, April 2.-Complaints are being
made by the carriers, distributors and
other employees in the postoffice here that
the heads of this branch Of the Federal SER
vice are endeavoring to coerce them into
attending ward meetings in support OF
Logan. They claim threats are being freely
used that unless they do SO they will be re.
moved from their positions. Allegations
are also made that employees are obliged to
"whoop il up" for the Illinois Senator dur
ing hours " hen they should be at work in
the postOflCe; that they are ordered to or
ganize Logan clubs, disrupt opposition
gatherings, establish permanent organiza.
tlons and convert other employees by
threats or promises. In short, it is alleged
that the entire machinery Of the Chicago
postof!ice is used as political engine for
securing in niluenCe and control in the vari-
GUS wards, and in solidifying the phalanx
which will so to the primaries and run
things.
Employees who favor Blaine have re-
ceiyed circulars commanding them to be
present at ward meetings in behalf OF l,o'
gan. The same orders have been verbally
issued by heads OF departments in the
PostCffiCe 10 their subordinates, Who have
been told not only to come themselves but
to bring dozen or so OF their friends with
trem. 1t was plainly intimated that fail
ure in either respect would result in the
delinquents' discharge.

CARRoLroN, ALA. March "A romance,
which had its beginning In this place SIX
teen years ago, has Just been recalled In
singular manner. In 1865 Miss N. 4. Hill
wss the belle OF Picksns county, and count.
ed among her many admirers J. n. Davis,
q young attorney, TO whom she gave her
hand. Shortly aiterward the wonderful
stories OF fortunes to be made In the West
induced the young couple TO remove 70 Al.
kansas, where, for . time, they prospsred,
and two children-s boy and . girl-wsrs
born unto them. The parents became vic.
Tins OF malaria, and, o. invalids, they soon
lost all they had. In 1877 II was decided
that his wife, with her children, should 60
cept the offer OF her parents 70 make her
home with them, while he would get along
by misunderstanding thst death would
overtske him in o short time. The husband
also removed 10 new section and found
himself on the road TO renewed health and
A competency. When be felt assured OF ell
this he wrote back TO this place, but As his
wifss family had left the county he Was
unable to find her. Finally, he concluded
from her silence that she did not want 10
hear from him. 20 he procured . divorce.
About six weeks ago, however, q gentle
man whom he chsnced to meet at hotel
told him OF . DAVIS who was teacher OF
music in the high school OF Hubbard, Tex.
The description OF the lady Was 80 striking
that Davis al once concluded tkat she mast
be his wife, and he decided TO make ono
more effort to reach her. Correspondence
developed the fact that II was bis vile. and
that she was not only willing bat anxious
10 see him. A visit 10 Hubbard resulted
in q remarriage, the children being the wit.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Col. Robert G.
IDgersoll has been counted upon as the
advocate OF Mr.. Blaine al Chicago, and it is
expected he will be elected delegate to
the Chicago Convention from this district.

ly calculated upon his eloquence to advance

although 1t is believed that Ingerso!l will
be elected as delegate from this district, it
is equally certain he will not go there for
Mr.. Blaine. ingersoll is very much op.
posed to Arthur, but favors the candidacy
of General Gresham. He does not intend
to oppose Blaine; he simply is not for him.

Lord LoRNE's HOBBY.
Pr. posing 10 Give Ireland FOur.Bar.
relied Parliament.

LONDON, April 2-The Marquis of Lorue
is treading in his fathers footsteps as a sen.
sational dsetrinaire. He has come out as
an advocate Of Irish Home Rule, with a
brand newspanacea for Irish discomfort.
He has elaborated it in long article just
published IN the April number of the CJn-
temporary Review. Ireland, he says, is
clamoring for Parliament OF her own, but
at the samk time the English statesme7
deem it insolerable that the imperial swsy
of England should be moved from one o
her fairest possessions, or that the vas.
interests Of Englishmen should be left TO
the mercyof an independent and perhaps
hostile legislature. He therefore proposes as
q compromise Whist he calls Provincial
Home Rule in Ireland" He would have
four provincial Diets-that of Lsinster, to
sit at Dublin; of Munster, at Cork; OF Ul-
ster, at Belfast, and of Connaught, at Gal
way. These Diets should consist OF an
upper house or Senate. and q popular
branch or Chamber of Deputies. The term
of service in the upper house he would es-
tablish at six years, one-third OF the MEM
bers being elected every two years, while
I'LL Tue luGfnUcIo vi tuc lO"OE hOuso ohOuiu
be elected biennially; all the members
of botiiss houses to be elected by
popular ballot, subject 10 the same
regulations and the same qualifications for
electors as now prevail for Parliament.
The powers and duties OF these Diets the
Marquis would have confined strictly to
local purposes, such as the imposition and
collection of the poor-rates, school taxes
and assessments for local public improve.
ments and the maintenance of public order
within the provincial limits. He would
leave undisturbed the administrative ma.
chinery of the island, comprising the Lord
Lieutenancy, the county ieutenancies and
all other crown officials, and would leave
to the Imperial Parliament the levying OF
the Queens tax and the enactment of all
general laws for the government OF the
island as at present.
The MARQUIS argues that the 1rishmen's
pride in tseir local assemblies would sup.
plant their desire for a central parliament
at Dublin; that their taste for eleCtioneer-
ing and for enjoying the power of the bal
lot would be amply gralified by the fire.
quent elections provided, and that those
functions OF government OF which they see
and feel the results most directly, teing ex-
ercit ed by their own representatives., they
would have the feeling of governing them
selves; while in regard to all things vital
to Euglish or imperial interests, matters
would remain as they are at present.
