Mr.. CLEVELAND said to friend IN
reference to his crime with Maria
Halpin; "i will never forgive the men
who aided in the circulation of this
scandal about me. do not deny the
allegations and never have, but they
had nothing to do with my utness or
qualifications for the Office to which [
have been elected" So it would seerA
it Mr. Cleveland had been guilty of any
other crime, and if he admitted the truth
by not denying the "allegations," it
would have nothing to do with his
fitness for any Office to which he might
aspire. A queer system of morality
that.

THE Hon. &. G. Vest, Democratic
Senator, and the Hon. William Warner,
Republican Representative, seem to be
in complete harmony in their views
upon The civil service, even if they don't
agree with the true-blne reformers. a
gentleman asked Mr.. V, st for influence
to make him postmaster. The Demo
Gratis were about to come in, and he,
being Democrat, wanted to come in
with them. Mr.. Vest responded that he
was sorry that he couldn't aecommo
date AL his friends, There was not
offices enough to go around, and he
wasn't the man to apply to in this case
He wrote to his friend rs follows
"Custom and courtesy require me as a
Senator to defer largely in local or dis
trlct appointments to your member of
Congress. lie has the right to expect
this on the account of established usage,
and the presumption of his superior
knowledge as to the quail fcations of
anu lHC HSNCoNlliCo VI luC ull-
ferent localities in his district"
Notwithstanding the Representa-
tive in the next Congress for the district
where Lexington is, Major Warner,is Il
Republican, Senator Vest venerates the
established usage" so iervcntly that he
still deferS to 1t. But The courtesics of
the occasion are not disdainsd by Major
Warner any more than by Senator Vest
To the would be postmaster, who wrote
to hlm, enclosing Senator Vests letter,
Mr.. Warner replied as follows:
"The people have the right to EJECT
tn II Representative, aud he has the
right to expect that in j. cal and district
appointments the Senators will d fer
largely to him. This is placing the re
sponslbiliy where it belongs. | eer-
taInly shall not shrink from the dis.
charge OF duties thus thrown upon me
by my own worthy Senator l shall
not urge upon Democratic President
Republicans for Office, as II Is presumed
none will be appointed. At the expira.
ton of Mr.. Turner's term of Office as
postmaster of your place, there is no
doubt but that he will be replaced by II
Democrat, although, us yon state, you
see no reason for the change, as no
fault can be found with HIM If have
the nights in my district indicated by
the Senator, l shall recommend Demo-.
Gratis for the local Offices If it is the
policy of the Administration not to APP
point Republicans. You are at liberty
TO say 20 Senator Vest that il he reconl-
mends You, | shall throw no obstacle IN
the way of your appointment
In tkis time of political revolution and
turmoil it is pleasant TO see such an
example of perfe accord as this in.
stance furnishes. Whatever happens to
tho postoflice, 1t is pretty certain that
Vest and Warner won't quarrel, even if
MIR. Cleveland shouldn't agree with
them.

sAx-FRlscIsco, CAL, April l6.-lt was
vaguely rumored yesterday that Lsnnox
Maxwell, who murdered Arthur Preller at
st. Louis on April8, had arrived in this
city. The fact was confirmed last night by
Chief Detective Of Police ]. w. Lee, who
traced up the whole matter, from the
time Of Eennox's departure from st. Louis
to his arrival here. Lennox purchased a
ticket at st. Louis, signing the name Of
Hugh NJ Brooks. When he reached this
city he registered at the Palace Hotel as
n. @. Danguier, and claimed he was q
French army officer. When spoken to in
French he replied in English. 0nsunday
last hepurchased a steerage ticket on the
steamer City of.sydney for Auckland. New
Zealand, signing the name Of Dlnguier.
Gables have been sent 10 New Zealand,
Australia, for his arrest and letter sent
by the steamer Alameda yesterday to
Honolulu in case Of his stopping there.
The police think the man will change
his course at Honolulu, taking sailing
ship TO China OF. Japan and traces be lost.
After leaving ST. Louis he changed
cars this side Of Lagunta, 1t was noticed he
took large silver open.face watch from
bis pocket and tried TO wind it up by
the end ola broken blade Of a penkniie.
Not succeeding, he asked several passen.
gers in the car II they had q key. Whiie
sojourning at thetPalace Hotel, in this
city, It is learned he was unable to open
the trunks he had with him, and sent for
q locksmith, saying lie had lost his keys.
After the trunks were opened large
quantity OF burned papers were found in
tho CRATE. Its supposed that these may
have been Preller's lettersand papers. The
most important fact discovered Is that the
baggage checks delivered by the man
styled Brooks, and who registered as Dam
gnier, to tho Pacific Transfer Company in
this city, correspond with the numbers is
sued at St. Louis by the ST. Louis & San
Francisco Railway Company to Hugh NJ.

ceased to beat soon afterwards.
So hastily was 1t done that his arms were
not pinioned,, and as the mob heard the.
ringing Of the telephone they ,hastened
their work by pulling up his body, which
hung only couple Of feet from the ground.
The nucleus Of the mpo started in Harold,
