Az Atlanta dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, giving IN account Of the fight OF
tlle revenue officers with the North Caro-
lim mountaineers, says: "There is be-
liei among the moonshiners that the cleo
lion OF Cleveland means an end OF the
revenue system, and they look upon fur
ther visits Of revenue raiders as acts Of
usurpalion. Tho feeling against revenue
men isvery bitter" This is one bad effect

enue system may be abolished, but while

Of any man to the Presidency should

A Little Girl Pound Under q Seighbor's
= House, Nearly Frozen to Denth.
WlhLIANsroRT, Pa, Dec. 1s.- Mary
Brew, the nine-year-old daughter Of
Thomas Brew, living at 81 Filbert street,
was found this morning by family named
Miller under their house, between the
ground and the floor, where she had crept
out Of the cold. She had on thin dress
and no other covering. She was stiff and
nearly frozen and revived with difficulty.
Brew sewiie died in October Of last year
and left six little children, the Oldest ten
years OF age.t Since the death OF their
mother the father has acted like brute
to tho: child. Mary, though only nine
years old, has been compelled to do the
washing, prepare the meals, keep the
house in order-in fact, TO take the place
Of the mother. Through constant dissipa-
tion the father abuses and neglects the
children and but for the sympathy of the
neighbors they would all be dead. T..
AS, 1t is, they'a are half starved, with scant
raiment. The father, it is said. unmerci.
fully beats and clubs the little ones with.
out provocation. Michael and Mary, the
oldest, arc often afraid to sleep in the
house and most OF the time sleep in the
shed in the back yard and have often been
found sleeping in tho street. The father
is stone-mason. Last night he came
homedrunk, beat all the children, knocked
them down, kicked them and drove Mary
out OF the house with club. She wen,
into shed and he drove her out OF there.
The poor girl had no place to go, rs it was
late at night. She crawled under house
for shelter. She had no covering and no
underclothing. Mr.. Miller found Mary
under his house this morning. Her limbs
were stiff and her body and limbs covered
with black and blue marks. 1t was some
time before she could speak. Mr.. Miller
applied restoratives and after Mary could
explain tho circumstances the neighbors
oil through the locality became very in
dignant and went in a body in search Of
Brew, but he had left. The people would
have handled him without gloves II he
had been caught. Mary said she was
afraid her father would kill her. She did
not have anything to eat all day -ycster-
day and was working in the house, tired
out, when her father came homer

Mr.. IlEwITTTACKLEsA 4 nEponrEl,
And tho ho"sPaRer aIaH, as Usual, Comes
Out Ahead,

WA'lIlSoToS, Dec. ls,-A lively scene
is reported to have taken place between
Mr.. A. s. Hewitt, Of New York, and Mr.
Dunnell, correspondent Of the New York
Times. They met In the iilc clerks room
at the Capitol. Mr.. Hewitt had complain
cd to Mr.. Dunnell on another occasion of
u statement purporting 10 quote the for
mers language upon certain subject,
and renewed the matter. Mr.. Dunnell re-
tortcd that he had correctly reported the
other, nntdid not propose to have his re-
putation for veracity assailed by one whose
reputation was principally for unvcracity.
Ar: Hewitt asked whether he intended 10
make the application personal, but re-
ceived an answer which hc could consirue
70 suit himself. He claimed that Mr..

locked horns before, when Mr.. Dunnell
was reporter on the New York Ereninq
Poa and came out ahead by being retain
ed on the staff for two years after Mr..
Hewitt had endeavorcd to have him re-
moved, only leaving when he saw an on
porunity OF lettering himscliby a change.
1t is thought that the end OF The present
encounter is not yet.

ALBANY, N. y, Dec. 1S.-Wm. NJ. Evarts
wasin Albany today, and appeared in the
Court Of Appeals in connection with the
law passed last winter to prohibit the
making Of cigars in tenement houses.
Els presence here gave fresh energy to
his canvass for the senatorship, which is
daily growing stronger. He reiterated
distinctly, that he. is a candidate for the
position, and that he expected presently
to publish letter not only declaring his
candidacy, hut also setting forth his views
Of what the Republican party policy in
Congress should be for the next four years.
He will, it is ascertained, occupy decided
protection ground, and will place himself,
so far as any declaration may be deemed
desirable, squarely on the Republican Na-
tional platform Of 1884.
There is an unmistakable drift OF pub.
lie sentiment throughout the State in favor
Of electing Mr.. Evarts. The call is for m
able man, and for one whose election will
allay rather anfurther excite the factional
feeling in tho party. Many OF the most
pronounced friends of Arthur are en-
phatic in the preference at this time for
Eyarts. The proposed conference Of mem
bers Of the Assembly elected from the
northeastern part of the State tomorrow
night at Canajoharie, will be held and
some decided action with reference to the
Senatorship will be taken. The confer
ence will include dozen or fifteen mem
bers,, including the candidates for the AS.

Erwin. Il 4 4

Tho Treaty In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Nicaraguan
treaty is exciting considerable interest
among the members Of the House. The
general impression seems to be that there
will bobut little opposition to the treaty
in the Senate, or in the House, SO far as
my action on their part is required to rem
der it effective, should the Senate ap-
prove it. Members, however, arc timid
about allowing their expressions with re-
Iation 10 the matter to be quoted, as there
arc several questions to be considered
which may change the, iace Of it. Mr..
Eaton, OF Connecticut, says tho treaty
makes some very valuable concessionsto
the United States, but whether there Is
anything in 1t 10 offset this he has not
looked into the matter carefully enough
yet to determine. Mr.. Murray, who
| is thinking the matter over seriously,
says that he thinks it likely that tho
treaty will DO approved unless it Is found

II that should he tho case he thinks the
control Of the connecting waterway be-
tween the two great oceans should be had

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE

being Investigated by tho Sennts-Ths
II. Action Of tho body.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-In the executive
session OF The Senate today niicr the con.
llrmation of Secretary McCulloch, u. rcso.
luton was introduced by tho Committee
on Foreign Relations, rcciting in its pre-.
amble that tho Dominican treaty had
been published in the New York Herald,
tho Nicaraguan treaty in the NewaYork
Tribune, and proposing that special com.
mittec be raised 10 investigate the methods
by which copies has been secured by tho
press. A suggestion was made that mas.
much as the COMMITTEE on Foreign
Relations had the treaties III its
custody, the investigation should be un.
dertaken by that committee. To this the
members objected on the ground that the
committee would be then called upon
to sit In judgment upon caclt other,
and suggested that tho Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections be charged
with the duty.
The members Of the latter committee
objected on general principles, and called
attention the fact that on q former occa-
sion OF the kind such m investigation had
been undertaken and resulted only in
bringing ridicule and contempt on the
committee and the Senate.
An assertion was made on the Demo-
cratic side that special friends OF the State
Department were first supplied with
copies Of all treaties, and the opinion ex-
pressed by this Senator WIS that the nd
ministration was probably at fault in the
matter. This gave rise to short bat
rather acrimonious partzan debate. Sey-
eral Senators lamented the inability Of the
Senate to enforce its rules, in reply to
which the point was made that tho rule
would better be amended TO meet what
seemed TO be popular want.
Some one suggested that the Nicarag-
uan Government or the Nicaruglan Min
lister had given out the Nicarauguan treaty,
and the Senators generally accepted this
as the probability until it was remembered
that the preBident's message Of the trans
mittalhad been published with this treaty,
the new theory WIS aband-
oned.
An amendment was next offered that
the text Of treaties be published in the
Congressional Record tomorrow. This be-
ing objected to, n motion was made to lay
the original resolution on the table, and
this was carried almost unanimously.
