Tup REGENT decision of the q. S. Supreme

the plans aud prospects of General Mahone.
But short while ago it was the Generais
,ntentiop TO run Mr.. John Wise as his can
d;date for Governor. 80 definitely arrang
ed was this that Mr.. Wise not only salu ne
would be the candidate, but that ne hao
earned the candidacy and was entitled TO IT,.
But. according TO the latest accounts from
Mr. Wise. that programme has been chang
ed by reason of the decision referreu TO-
and General Malone himself Will no"
be the candidate, aud lead his forces IN the
next campaign upon platform of opposi'
ton to the enforcement of the decision OF
the U. S. Supreme Court in the Virginia
debit cases. The Generals reputation
schemes were only successful before oy rea-
son of the solid colored vote OF the state.
An immense majority of the white people
of virginia were in favor OF making some
compromise of the debt that would be hon.
orable to the State and satisfactory to her
creditors, and they are so now; aud as the
General will never again have either the
solid colored vote, nor the whole weight OF
the administration thrown in his favor, his
new plan is doomed TO failure; for but few
Virginians have SO little State pride as TO de-
sire her to repudiate her debt, and fewer
still are silly enough TO believe that the
State ofVirginia, even with General Malone
at her head, can set the laws of the United
States at successful d. tisuce. Of course, If
the General be elected Governor he will re-
sign that position and return to the Senate;
but the fates are against him, and the flick
ering of his star only. presagcs its speedy
and final extnguisbment.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-Fifty barbed
wire manufacturers, licensed under the
washburn 4 Moen patents, met at the
Grand Pacific this morning. They claim
that their trade is seriously injured by
outsiders, who cut and demoralize rates
and flood the markets, Yesterday COM
mittee waited upon the firm Of Washburi
& Moen and solicited o concession in the
way OF an abatement Of the license fee to
o more moderate point. Thirty cents per
hundred pounds Of wire manufactured is
the present royalty demanded, and the
committee was instructed to ask for re-
iluctlon 10 10 cents. The firm said 1t was
willing 70 settle upon 80 percent or 10
cents per hundred pounds. Thisis not
satisfactory, and the manufacturers will
strive to influence the firm TO come down
10 10 cents. II Is thought q compromise
will be etfacted and the royalty be fixed at

A SHOCKING AcclDEyr.

Rolla Evans, colored, who was sent to
the State prison from Wood county in the
saminer,soi 1883 TO serve fifteen and o
half year sentence for rape, met with a
severe and very painful accident in the
broom shop yesterday, which may result
in the loss OF his right arm. In passing
the "scraper" he picked up small bunch
OF loose broom corn and showed 1t into the
machine, which is something similar to
the cylinder OF athreshing machine, only
having two rapidly revolving cylinders
provided with long teeth, and used for
cleaning the seed from the corn before be-
ing worked into brooms. The unfortunate
mans arm was instantly drawn into the
machine, where 1t was held until the
entire limb, from the elbow TO the end OF
the fingers, was completely stripped OF
flesh, sinews and leaders. Before ASSIST
ance could reach him, the belt, which is
operated by steam power, was thrown of
the pully and the machine stopped. In
the absence OF DR.. Bruce, the prison phys
ician, DR.. Rodgers, was hastily telephoned
for and gave the injured man such atten-
ton as was necessary until DR.. Bruce
could be found. After copious injection
Of morphine in the uninjurcd portion Of
the arm the wound was properly dressed
and everything possible done 10 alleviate
the pain. No blame can be attached to
any one for the accident exceptto Evans
himself, as 1t was no part OF his duty to
attend or operate the machine, and the
men employed in the shop have been
warned repeatedly Of the danger attend-
ing the operation. f-e

Internal Reyenus Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, D. g., Feb. 4.-A spirited
interview isreported to have occurred the
other day between Secretary McCulloch
and Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Evans. The Committee on Appropriations
summoned Commissioner Evans to the
Capitol to explain certain recommends
tions in connection with the Internal
Revenue Bureau. Commissioner Evans
astonished the Committee by remarking
that the estimates for that Bureau were
too large by half q million dollars. He
also said that tho clerical force
might be considerably reduced without
injury to the public business When Sec
retary MCCulloch learned OF the state.
ments of the Commissioner he sent for
Mr.. Evans and questioned him concern
ing his remarks 10 the Committee. The
Secretary said the estimates for the Inter:
nal Revenue Bureau had been prepared
under the direction OF the Commissioner,
and it seemed strange that he should go
before Congressional Committee and
say they were excessive by at least $780,
00O. The Commissioner endeayored to
justify his action by alleging that he had
reasons to change his opinion since the
estimates were prepared. The Secretary,
however, was not satisfied, and insisted
that it was u gross improprfety in placing
the head of the Treasury Department in
such an awkward position before Congress.
Considerable feeling is said to have been
engendered at the Treasury in conse-
quencc Of this episode.

about 4 o'clock John A. smyth, Joel ].
Wilson and Cicero D. Jellerson, murderers
| Of Hiram Jefferson in April, 1884, were
killed in or near the Jail at Audubon, this
State. About 9 o'clock Sheriff Herberta

The Comfort of colored Passengers Must

be Secured.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 4.-Judge Morris, Of
the United States District Court, has de-
livcred a valuable opinion regarding the
rights OF colored people on passenger
steamers. There were four cases in all.
a party Of colored people in August last
bought first class passenger tickets on the
steamer Sue, from Baltimore to kinsdale,
a point on the Potomac river. They paid
Sapiece for the tickets. When they went
aboard they were refused admission to the
after cabin, (which there were number
OF white persons, and were offered the for.
ward cabin. This, they claimed, was dirty,
and they refused To use 1t. They sat UP
all night. They then brought suit
against the steamer, and Judge Morris
to-day decided in their favor, allowing
them each 500 damages. III his opinion
Judge Morris says: "The ship officers
admit that there was different system in
respect to the forward cabin in giving out
the bed coverings. The reasons given by
the oihcers'for this different system they
Justify Ly showing that the much greater
humber OF second class oolored passengers
who used this cabin. compared with the
smaller and more self.respecting second
class white persons who used the after
cabin made q different system necessary,
and also made 1t much more expensive
and difficult to keep the forward cabin
clean. Thisis no legal justification for
not giving as clean and convenient sleep
ing place to first class colored passenger
as is given on the same ship to first
GLASS white passenger. II a differ.
ent system was necessary for any
reason tho first class oolored passen.
ger should not be made to experience any
difference in comfort on. account OF that
system. The separation Of the colored
from the white passengers, solely on the
ground OF race and color, goes to the verge
Of the carriers legal right, and such reg.
ulation cannot be upheld unless bona tide
and dilligent officers Of the ship see
TO It TINT the separation Is free from any
actual discrimination in comfort, atten-
ton, &c. The rights OF the first class coll
ored passengers were 10 have first class &C:

OF the claim, on the same boat, and this
no matter what may be the difficulties
arising from the greater number OF coloretl
second class passengers. lit Is bayond
the power Of the owners OF tho boat to af.
ford this, then they have no right to make
the separation. On many vessels for pas

steamboat owner to make 1t depends on
ability 10 make it without discrimination

"A KNorrY QUESTION


Nonwlcu, CoxN., Feb. "A new COM
plication has arisen with regard to the
recent entertainments in the Merchants
Bank. Webb, the assistant cashier Of the
bank, was also City Treasurer. Among
the charges against him Is one to the
effect that he falsified tho books Of the
bank by persistently undertaking the
city deposit. Tho bank officials have now
refused tho drafts Of tho city on his &C.
count, alleging that the city has already
oyerdrawn It's account. The deposit books
OF City Collector Dillaby show that the
city has deposited SS00O0 with the bank
up TO January 10. The books OF the bank
show that the city's account Is oyerdrawn
sci 900, though 1t is said that only about
$4,000 was really drawn by the city. The
bank officials claim that the differences
amounting 10 $4,000, were embeEzled by
Webb from the city's funds, and that the
bank Is not responsible. The city holds
that II Ia not responsible for the falsifjca-
ton OF the books OF the bank by Its dis
honest officers. II Is believed that the
question will be DECIDED by the courts.
