MORRISON, meRAW--NEWs NOTES.
Special Correspond.noe Of ise Reailter.

Mr.. Kelley that whatever he did would be
of his own motion; and after he himself
urged the acceptance ofhis resignation both
the President and the Secretery of State
gave him his choice Of three missions: 10
Russia, to Spain or to Vienna.
Minister Ksiley's Marriage.
There has been good deal of bosh about
his family, his marriage his standing in the
Catholic church and such. Said one news
paper fend: HE married Jewess, and,
therefore, isn't in good standing Said
another: He was married by Bishop McGill,
of Kentucky, and his wife goes to the
Episcopal Church"
Mr. Kelley married Jewess, Miss Davis,
of Petersburg, Va, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rt. Rev. John McGill, Catholic
Bishop Of Richmond.
Bishop McGin.
In 1870, Bishop McGill, showing me the
city of Richmand, pointed out Mr.. Keiley's
house, saying, There lives good Chris
tian, and a model citizen"
Bishop McGill was a Kentuckian by birth,
had been lawyer before taking orders, was
a grave, digniGed man, OF commanding ap-
pearance, loved honor, and had his heart
and soul in his church.
Said he: Mr. Kelley, sir, is a very bright
nan; he has the respect of his fellow citi- .
zens for the upright life he leads, and the
good example he gives ? do not regard
him as man of learning, with all that be-
ing learned implies, but | do hold him to
be brilliant man
Yet these fellows who lie like gas meters
we're giving it out that Kelley was sort Of
publican and sat among the sinners.
Some of the newspapers these times are
conducted ike gas companies-on the
theory that there is no hereafter.
The Administration.
"How are you faring in the way of ap-
pointmentsY said l to Judge Holman, OF
Indiana.
81 have no reason to be dissatisfied at all
no ressoD whatever. You know, Selby,
as well as do that the welfare of the gov
,rnment, the proper adjustment of depart
mental affairs, in word great public in.
terests, demand cautious, very careful
sitting of the numberless applications. The
President cannot subordinate such great in
terests TO the wishes of those on the hunt
for spoils. Not at all, not at all. A gen.
eral turning out of individuals now in the
employ of the government would result in
something disastrous. No human power
could avoid serious mistakes. An entirely
new force would not work to advantage.
How could it be otherwise? The President
ard the distinguished gentlemen around
him are moving on in the right direction
wisely, very wisely"
Said Bradley B. Smslley, of Vermont
"Who has any fault to find? Soreheads,
yes. | don't hear any noise except from
those who fail to get what they want in the
way of places. take the judgment Of the
President and his Cabinet against this class
every time.
An Albany man told me last night that
Mr.. Manning had the proper notion Of civil
service reform. He believes in putting in
the best men he can find. Manning has
always gone in for good material. He is a
business man, has made his own road, works
hard, observes keenly, never talks much,
never did, is a frst-rate listener, despises
humbugs and theoretical fellows who are
giving him good advice in the public prints,
acts independently, and put his foot down to
stay.
Gratuitous Advice.
Advice gratis wears a remarkably uIscr
pulous aspect. 1t has long tongue always
hanging halt out at its mouth, a long sight
which detects the approach Of victim be,
fore he has turned the corner long finger
TO twine round the button OF hapless
listener, and short memory which causes
it to recommend two opposite remedies to
the same patient, both wrong ones. Advice
gratis has no sex. 1t is sort OF monstrosl-
tv. Ii has a great weakness for taking
away character and thrives generally on
the havoc it can make in the moral world.
Assassination.
One of the frat things it aims at is
the assassination of a mans reputation.
And have never heard that it spared even
a womans.
1t surveys in an hour what it has taken
us a ear to explore; unravels in day the
threads of our long life; masters our secrets,
and plucks out the heart Of our mystery.
1t takes the shape Of anonymous altars
very often.
Of all monsters created or uncreated, Of
all the inventions that the ingenuity o.
tends ever framed, of all foul
murders, the vilest, the lowest, the
blacklist, the most brutal and
diabolical is the anonymous or non n'anouy-
nous letter that aims to destroy character
and blast reputation. 1t spares neither the
living nor the dead It goes into coffins and
opens sepulchres just as readily as it crawls
through key-holes.
Lately have had occasion to know that
this business-this assassinstion-wss be.
ing attempted, here and there, in official
quarters. This administration has no ear for
the whisperings and the hissings of sssas
sins!
Morrison.
Col. Morrison was here some days back
helping his constituents aud consulting with
tha President about appointments Mean
time the Thirty.fourth Senatorial District OF
Illinois went by default The district had
such large Democratic majority that the
farmers went to blowing, each one thinking
his vote not necessary. HIS neigh6or rea-
soned lust the same way. Jake Wheeler
and Jones went after the vote and walked 1t
out on the other side. Now the boys are
wishing that they could do it over again.
In politics there is no prudence which IS
not bold. Ii must live and work in the dark
a, luckily as in the light II must distrust
itself. Morrison has made q manly tight
and kept all mud,fipging on. Of the con-
test No purer or brsyer man lives than
William Morrison.
McGraW.
McGraw's case has been trial ofpahenee.
The President, take it. has been brushing
away the cobRebs before coming to JGdg.
ment Justice is often enVironed in the
difficulties. and works slowly. Bat the YER
dict is thus rendered All the sveeter.
Ten years ago, really saw this young
man working hard at bis Law books to
make his way at the bar, kind to his father
and his mother, devoted to bis brothers ana
I;t,Ie sisters. Going to Yale be passed
the law school bringing with him
raco-d o4 merit and distinction. be
