plOyment OF an armed force to fulfill Its
guarantees under the 45tb article of the
treaty of 1916 in order to keep the transit
across the isthmus of Panama.
DESTROYS of exercising only the powers
expressly reserved to the United States
by the treaty, and mindful of the rights
of Columbia, the forces sent to the 18TH
mus were instructed to confine their
action, so positively preventing the transit
and its accessories from being interrupted
or embarrassed.
The execution of this delicate and re.
sponsible task necessarily involved po-
lice control where the local authority
was temporarily powerless, but always in
aid of the sovereignty of Columbia. The
prompt and successful fulfillment of its
duty by this government was highly
appreciated by the government of CO.
lumbia, and has been followed by the
expression of its satisfaction. High
praise is due to the officers and men
engaged in the service. The restoration
of peace on tie Isthmus by the the re-
establishment of the constituted COVER
lnent, the ends being thus accomp-
lished, the forces of the United States
were withdrawn.
Pending these occurrences, question
OF much importance was presented by
DEGREES of the Columbian government,
proclaiming the closure of certain ports
then in the hands of the insurgents, and
declaring vessels held by the revolution
lists to be piratical and liable to capture
by any power. To neither of these prop
ositions could the United States assent.
An effective closure of ports not in the
possession of the government but held
by hostile partisans could not be recog-
nixed:
Neither could the vessels of the insur-
gents against the legitimate sovereignty
be deemed hosts htlmani generic within
the precepts of international law, what
ever might be the definition and penalty

Cooper wrote that he was about to

A Great Day Tor the Democrats Dsese' and
Oshers Speak.
tCorrespondenceo fthc Richmond Dispatch
BuCKIHoHAh COURTHOUSE,
October IL, 1885.
This has been q grand day for the
Democracy in buckingham, and those
of W. who have been so long oppressed
by Republican rule are beginning to
feel assured that there are brighter
things In store for US.
About IL O'Clock Hon. John W.
Daniel, Captain Samuel Coleman, and
Benjamin James, escorted by Mr.. John
A. Nckenns, our worthy candidate
for the Legislature, accompanied with
. find band Of music, arrived q. the
court house. As soon as il was an
pounced that the distinguished speak
ers had arrived the same boys that fol-
lowed the gallant Fitz Lee on his polit-
ical raid here last court made the welkir
ring. About this timet The RAIDS, fear
ing, unless they commenced their speak
ing At once, that they would not be
able 70 muster corporal's guard, with
double-euick rushed in and took charge
Of the lower room OF the courthouse.
and IS they had spent one month in
beating up recruits, they made a re-
spectacle show, particularly Of the
negroes, many of whom no doubt
were attracted by the belief that
their candidate for Governor car
Sied bis kitchen along with him,
and that he would give q free treat.
But when the band struck up Dixie
Mr.. wise's crowd began 10 break. and
hundreds OF anxious men were stand
irg IN the drsnchiog rain, calling and

calling for Daniel. Mr.. James first
came 10 the front, and in . speech
Astounding in good sense held the large
assembly for nearly On hour. Coleman,
the iloster candidate for Buckingham
and Cumberland, was tho next speaker.
His ticks fell quick and fast. lie con-
tradicted statements which Wise made
in regard to his speeches in the S,ath-
west.
When Coleman was through excite
msnt ran high. and John w. Daniel APP
pesred on the stage, waved his hands
over the grand audience, and all were
calm. eager TO hear those burning words
Of eloqrepce which they knew were
coming. II is useless to attempt q de-
scription Of this finished orators speech.
lie reviewed the corrupt acts OF the
Republican party from its beginning /;
told of all the dark and vile tricks OF
Malone and his cohorts, and especially
of the inconsistent course Of John ,.
Wise. lie did not fail TO deal some
telling blows on John X. Moss,
the mediocral Republican candi-
date for the Legislature from
buckingham. He showed how he
aided in putting the funding bill OF
1871 on the State. Very recently it
was believed that Moss had repented OF
the error Of his ways, and was acting
with the Democratic party but when
the Republican nomination for the
Legislature went begging he came to
the front as Republican and followed
the clan, giving as a reason that he was
doing nothing and wanted something
TO do.
The Democracy are wide awake here,
and the grand ovstions to Fitz Lee,
Daniel, and other distinguished speak
ers who have visited us mean some
thing, and we will show it in Novem-
Der.
The farmers of the county have pretty
well secured their crops Of tobacco
the best made in this section for several
years. They are now busily engaged
in seeding wheat, which, no doubt,
will be much delayed by the
heavy rain which has been falling
all day. Raising and grazing and
feeding cattle and other stock for mar
ket is a new departure in farming in
portion of this county. There is belt
of good grazing-land, resembling some
parts of Fauquier and the Green Spring
of Louisa. In that section men who
formerly raised large crops of tobacco
have entirely abandoned its culture.
and are devotiDg their energies to
raising and shipping fat cattle and other
stock to market. The farmers are in
good spirits, with fine crops of tobacco
and corn, and with John McKenna in
the next Legislature there will be a
boom in old Buckingham.

Judge Staples at HiiisvlIle A Splendid
Speech.

Judge Staples at Hiiisvllle A Splendid
Speech.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dlspatch.l
HILLsvILLE, Oct. l3, 1885.
Judge Waller r.. Staples made his
first speech to the people of Carroll
here on yesterday. Owing to the in
cessant rain, which poured down in
torrents from before day Wight until after
dark, the crowd in attendance was much
smaller than usual, the whole audience
consisting of about $50 or 800 Demo
Gratis and Republicans. The Judge, in
his opening remarks, paid quite tri-
butte to President Cleveland's admins
tration, showing how perfectly the Pre-
sident is carrying into effect all the
promises of the Democratic party. lie
pointed out number of frauds which
the Republicans had practiced in the
different departments Of the Gov
eminent, among which those of
the Pension Office in particular
loom up conspicuously. He referred
briefly to the internal-revenue system
and its abuses by the Republicans using
it as an electioneeriug machine. lie
showed how, under a democratic adj
ministration Of tie Government, the
whole country is being united in reality
and in fact. and that all sections are
permitted to enjoy full share of public
honors. His reference to General Lee
as the next Governor Of Virginia, when
comparing him with Wise, was greeted
with shouts of applause. His arraign-
ment of Malone and his ticket was terri
BILE. He reasoned logically upon all the
issues Of the present campaign, but
when he came TO speak of the Danville
riot he grew eloquent to a degree at
tanned by but few orators. The Re-
publican hard-times" bugaboo van
ished before him like chat before a
hurricane. His entire speech, about
two hours in length, was splendid
specimen Of oratory, and one that car
hardly fail Of being productive Of great
good to the cause of Democracy.
After the close of Judge Staples
speech Major RisoD, Of Danville, was
introduced, and made short but splen
did speech, which proved him mastel
of the situation. Nj.

In n Chicago Divorce Court.
A Chicago special says |" l taught
the little ones to love him. felt that
if | kept his little children pure and
sweet and if kept his home neat and
bright | must win him back some
day."
Thus spoke Mrs. Minnie McGill on
the witness-stand in Judge Moran's
court this afternoon. Seburg c. Nc
Gill, the husband, handsome fellow
of about thirty, with big moustache,
sat by while her testimony was being
given. Itisa contested-diyorce suit, and
will last several days.
Mrs. McGill, who wore a navy-blue
cloth dress. is quite good-looking. The
parties were married on February 4,
1875, and lived together until May 81,
1888. How Mrs. McGill came to leave
her husbands home and take refuge
with her mother, Mrs. Catherine leu
fel. at No. 2G9 Walnut street, she ex-
planned to the Court in this manner:
1.-The first year Of our married life
he told me repeatedly that he had made
q mistake in marrying me, that he was
of blue blood and nothing but Dutch.
| was patient under all his taunts and
jeers, and hoped that he would yet be
happy. We had four children. We'll,
he was very cruel to US. and did not
provide for us. We were often with
out any food at home, and our clothes
were of the poorest. lie would not
even allow me to keep little canary
bird, saying it was extra expense, and
that it cost penny day to feed him.
The bird was a gift from my sister. lie
told me he was earning from SIS to s22
a week as a patti rn-Inaker.
81 asked him for s. a week to keep
us all-food, clothing, and everything
but he refused, and when | needed five
cents for some little thing he would not
even give it to me. The morning ! left
him saw him take Clay, one of my
boys. into the next room and lock it.
in little while the boy came out and
said to me, Female, give me some
bread / said to him, Clay, you
must not speak to mamma like that {;
you must say, Please, mamma. give me
some bread At that moment my hns-
band sprang out Of the next room and
screamed, the boy is right you are
nothing but female, anyhow, and he
has got a right to call you that and
then he began to call me vile names.
Then ! left the house, taking my two
smallest children with me-
From further testimony it appeared
that Mr.. McGill had taken his two boys,
Clay and Tyndale, along with him and
left the city. Early last year the wife
ascertained that he was at No. 275 south
Fourth street, Brooklyn. She went
there, found her two children in the
street, and took them. Her husband
had her arrested, but the judge dis
charged her. She took her children
home to Chicago and has kept them
ever since.

SWINDLING A FRIEND.
Another Son Of Admiral Cooper Stoops Z,

Another Son OF Admiral Cooper stoops to
Crime.
For swindlipg friend cut OF sl2, 900
another son Of Admiral Cooper is now
being anxiously looked for. The story
Of the swindlo came up yesterday in
the Kings County Supreme Court. AZ
iidavits submitted by Mr.. A. Ii. Van
Sinderen, young lawyer, who liyOs at
No. l7S Columbia Heights, Brooklyn,
tell this story Of the swindle Mr.. Van
Sinderen has for years been intimately
acquainted with William ii. Cooper, an
engineer, machinist, and metallurgist,
who had an Office at No. 62 William
street, New York. Last July Cooper
sent for his friend and told him that he
had just been awarded a contract by
the United States Fish Commission to
furnish eight pumping-engines for $780,
600, and that he had made sub-con-
tract with the Davidson Pump Com
pany, Of Brooklyn, to do the work for
$4,000, leaving him a clear profit Of
$4,000. In order to obtain the con-
tract, however, Cooper said that it was
necessary for him to deposit with the
Commission certified check for a24,-
0o0. Cooper said that he only had
$4,000, and if Van Sinderen would
lend him the other $4,000 he would
give him 1880 of the profit as his
share Of the principal, and bonus to be
paid about October LIST.
Cooper showed bis friend the con-
tract, dated in Washington, June 90,
1855, and signed by "W. L. Bailey,
Engineer in Chief, Fish Commission,
United States Government" and an
other contract with the Davidson COM
pany TO substantiats his statements.
Van Sinderen became convinced that
everything was oil right and that he
had stumbled upon an easy way Of
making money, and loaned the sl2, 900,
receiving Cooper's promissory note
for slS,S0o, payable at the Gallatin
National Bank. Between this time and

TO the Editor of the Dispatch !:

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Is the sentence :" would like to sur
viye as long as you" correct and ele-
CANT English? If so, please give the
reasons of your decision, and cite a few
passages from English literature where
the verb "survive is similarly used.
Yours very truly, j. l..
No. "Survive is primarily
transitive verb, and as such should have
an objective case after it, as, 81 would
like to survive you" But as the
meaning here is, 81 would like to Ire
as long as you," the sentence is incor-
rect on its face. The meaning of " to
survive" is very different from the
meaning of "to live.' The former is a
synonyme Of "to outliye." Make the
sentence read, 81 would like to outlire
as long as you," and its inaccuracy is
offensive to the ear.
But it will be said that survive :"
is sometimes an intransitiye verb.
True; but this intransitive verb can
not be used as "survive " is used in
j. LIS sentence. 1t can be correctly
used only in some such sentence as the
following 81 would like to survive
rith you that is, both survive some
event or some person of whom or
which previous mention had been made.
"Outlive " is never used as q transit
tive verb and "survive" ought not
to be, unless used as We have said.
Worcester quotes: =" He Outlired his
children, and though dead his fame
swrires him." That sentence might
be made to read, {" lie surrires his
children, and though dead his fame out
lires him." but the sentence itself
contains an instance Of false apposi-
tion.)
Again. "Survives as an intransi-
tive verb means " still lives" Mr.,
| Garfield said when Lincoln was
assassinated, "God reigns and the
Government at Washington still
lires." lie might have said survives 81
instead Of A" Still lires that is, though
Mr.. LINCOLN is dead.
