Southern Senators Pleased With the Stand
They Made Against Taking Oficial
Notice OF the Correspondence,
Special TO the Sentinel.

Special 10 the Sentinel.
WAsHIEeToS, Jan. 13 Southern Demo
Gratis seem to be well pleased with the stand
they made in the Senate against taking off,
cial notice OF the correspondence between
General William T. Sherman and Jefferson
Davis. The debate was very animated
and showed some feeling, but the
leading Southern Senators. speaking of
the matter today, said they ihou ght the cir
cumstances warranted all they said and
did.
The object of the Republicans in getting
the correspondence before it was, of course,
to have it printed and to circulate it
as document bearing Official imprint
and this it wss that made the
Southerners so angry. They say the
matter has 10 possible place about Congress,
any more than any other correspondence be-
tween two private citizens. 1t is said the
correspondence was transmitted to the Sec
retary OF War by General Sherman, so that
it would become quasi official and be in po
sition to be called for by Congress.
The discussion has aroused some bad
blood. 1t has been in the direction of re-
openings a wound that was almost healed
and the Southern Senators who participated
in the controversy on the floor OF the Sen.
ate say the Republicans will regret that
they brought it about. The personal char
acter OF jefferson Davis is yet sacred to
many distinguished men at the Capital and
they do not like TO hear it assaulted.

No good man, whose motives are pure,
can offer a tenable objection, especial
ly as this plan can be made effective in
bagging the dirty strikers, who are
spending Beck's corruption fund. Any
man who is supporting WOrrell is GER
tainly not ashamed Of it, and il the
Beck fellows are ashamed of hin, they
ought to desert him and come to Wor-
rell.
We state plainly that this plan is
mainly intended to prevent the crime
of bribery, a crime that has grown to
such fearful proportions in the county,
that it cannot and will not, be endured
any longer.
At least one good Democrat in
every neighbOrhood in the county is
requested to act as a committee of one
to make a list of Beck's strikers white
and black, and forward it to the Con-.
MERCIAL HERALD. From such lists
names will be selected for publication.
The names will then be open for
comment, but it is not now thought
that it will be necessary to make any
comment, as the public is able to
judge of the relations and motives of
any, who propose to support Beck.
In the cases of well known white
and black strikers, the Democratic
Executive Committee, will decide what
is to be done so as to effectually vindi-
cate the law.
Corruption and bribery must be de-
stroyed root and branch.

SPOT THEM.

The time has arrived in the conduct
Of the county campaign, when it is ex-
ceedingly important for the Demo-
cratic managers to know who are for
the Democratic ticket, and who are
opposed toit. The easiest way to de-
termine this, is to find out and make a
list of those working for Beck and
Company, whether openly or secretly.
Lists should be made out by good
sound Democrats in every neighbour
hood in the county and every Ward in
the city. The lists should include
both white and colored.
When this work is completed, and it
should be done, without the Beck
strikers knowing by whom it is being
done, the names of all those worth no.
tice should be published. This should
be done so that If any worthy citizens
are making the mistake Of supporting
this thief, those who have influence
with them will thus be informed and
can make every effort to dissuade them
from committing SO fearful a blunder.

THE VOTE AND STRIKER MAR
UHm
KET

AS the day Of the election ap.
prOaches there is a decided stifening
of the market for all kinds and colors
Of strikers. Choice white strikers,
somewhat fair to owners, big CAB and
fully developed in lying are sought
after by Beck & Company, who are
now buying freely. Washington Street
Stifs and Blowhards, who never leave
that street, are avoided, though those
who indulge in loud threats and gun
talk manage to command whisky
money. Real live levee Rats, are
taken at fair prices as fast as offered.
1t is said there is a large demand for
them among the roughs, burglars and
thieves. They are secured with ease
in round numbers at wholesale prices
as Beck and Company are great favor
ties with them.
A few choice very Slick Bucks are
needed by Beck and Company for
shipment to Oak Ridge and Redbone,
but up to the close of the market
yesterday the demand had not been
supplied. If the proper article can be
secured a fancy price will be paid, as
it has always been difficult to secure just
what is needed to tame the Red Necks.
We heard of a sale of Sly Bluffs
made Friday, for shipment North, but
the price was not made public. If they
are sent to the point we heard indi-
Gated, we think it likely there will be
a demand for more.
Votes rule low and are chiefly bar
tered for with mean liquor and large
lies. Early in November it is thought
Beck and Company will take all offer
ed as long as the "barl" and Mr..
Rigby's "bundle" holds out.

Hanged In Etflov

LOUISVILLE OOuFler-JOlr0Al.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 13.-Early risers
were much startled and excited when.
In passing near a trestle crossing on
Cedar street, they espied the APPARENT
~ lifeless forms of a man and woman
hanging by the neck from the cross
ties of the trestle. A crowd soon
gathered, and closer examination
showed that the supposed dead bodies
were merely efigies Of the Rev. DR.,
W. q. Bryant, pastor of St. Johns
church, and his sister and housekeeper.
M, N. Thompson. The crowd remain
ed at the scene Of the hanging until
daylight, when officers on that beat
appeared and Immediately cut down
the eflgies and dispersed the crowd.
The deed was done, it is supposed. as
a condemnation of the doctors course
in the late municipal campaign. when
he took sides against the majority of
his race.

The Female Lobbyist Appears.

Inc FSnaie Appears
Louisville ourier-Journa
Two ladies, said to be from the
South, have been for some time past
among the most frequent visitors at
the White House. They dress ele-
gantly and wear handsome diamonds,
and are apparently mother and daugh-
ter. The persistency with which they
sought and secured audiences with the
President during business hours
stamped them as lobbyists. 1t was
said that they were working hard to
secure the removal of a Southern ofic-
ial and the appointment of a successor
whom it was rumored was the hus-
band of one of the ladies and the
father of the other. Why they
did so is not known. Per
haps they couldn't receive time
enough to present their claims, but the
visits to the President during the
morning hours, when he receives bust
ness calls, were discontinued, and at
tention was turned to thepublic recep-
lions in the East room, which the Pres
ldent holds three times a week. More
than once these ladies have fingered
behind the Misunderstanding crowd and
then surrounded the President. He
was obliged to listen. They didn't
appear to carry their point; however,
but still persevered. The other day,
when they captured the President in
the East room, he said: "Mrs. -,
that case is settled. l have decided
not to make any removal in that Office"
This was considered a settler, but the
ladies have proved fighters and can
still be seen at the White House on the
look out for Senatorial influence to
help their case,

The news comes from Washington
that President Clevelandis angry with
the Mugwumps of New York, for 60
ing against the Democratic nominee
for Governor. All the MugWump pa
pers, from the New York Herald down,
are supporting the Republican ticket,
and it is said some of the Presidents
most influential appointees r doing
the same thing.
We did not know that the Mug
wumps belonged to Ieither party, and
we don't see that the President has
any right to be offended at them.
They are only carrying out consistent
their Mugwump views.

The National Museum,

washington ulSpaCcn,
Although the National museum
building covers two acres and a half
and affords 100000 square feet of ex-
hibltion space, the exhibits have al
ready outgroWn the available room,
and Prof. Spencer Baird will be asked
for an appropriation to build a dupli-
cate Of the present building. This one
cost $25O,OO0, which is $3.50 a square
foot of space. while the Smithsonian,
OF which it is a sort of annex, cost 500
a square foot. Prof. Baird thinks this
is a proof positive that the design of
the existing building is about the
best that could be selected for
economical construction, and his
scheme is to have two duplicates of
the present building erected in the
course Of time SO as to give three
museum buildings in a line in the real
OF the Smithsonian, connected with it
by covered cause ways, sffording an
aggregate exhibition space of 100000
square feet. "By the time Congress
meets" said Prof. Baird when spoken
to about tbs matter. "the crowded
condition of the present building will
convince the most skeprical or econom-
ical what is necessary in order to ac-
commodate what will soon be the
grandest collection in che world. By

If bribery and corruption are rooted
out in this county a poor man will
have just as good a show, and prob
ably a little better, to secure Office as a
rich man. But SO long as money is more
potent in elections than honest qualifi-
cations and well earned merit, official
positions will be closed to the rightful
ambitions of all poor men.
Before this campaign opened
a man as deserving as any
one in the county said he
would be a candidate for
Sheriff but for the fact that he was
poor. We remarked to him that that
should be no objection or weight to
him, but he said it had got to the pass
that no poor man dare aspire to any
office in this county.
That state of affairs cannot be en-
dured. Beck and his gang must be
overwhelmingly defeated.

The whites to select white candi-

leave it for the blacks to select candi-

just and safe to concede them, and
then for both races to join in electing
the whole ticket. If you think it
would work, turn in and help snow

that a Republican President will be
elected in 1888. Why Blaine carried

even cotton growers are declar-

than ever existed in ante bellum
days. OF course, slave property is
not counted, as it represented no saw
ings of labor, no accumulated products
Of former industry, and nc capacity
for production not inherent in the
freedman. The accumulation of wealth
will proceed, the advance and lateral
extension Of industry will continue,
the unused resources of soil and sun,
Of trimming waters and hidden ores will
be developed for the employment of

fort of the laborer. At the same time
skill, enterprise and executive ability,
as well as capital, will share in full

and Germany recognized the new

fresh pr:"f that they have no wish to
obstIuct The legitimate aspirations OF
The ServIan people. Official Russia
could not openly refuse recognition
OF the new kingdom, but at The same
tine it was understood that the lead
ers Of the P%ansIavonic movement
decided to work by all means in their
power for the fall Of King Milan. He
was now considered as absolutely lost
to Russia, and even dangerous MS long
as he remained at the head of the
ScrVian people. Therefore his re.
moyaI was resolved upon. The first

well known nstutcncss and unscrupu-
lousnrss Of Russian politicians,
Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, who
has been, and is still, drawing 4 large
yearly subsidy from Russia, was invit1
ed to the festivities at the coronation
of the Car, and f6Ccd and loaded with

arranged that the pretendcr Peter
Karage"rgevich should marry the

and Ilat The Gar should be his best
man and give the M%ontenegrin Prin.

of becoming Governor General of

The marriage of Peter Karage0rga.
vich with a Montenegrm Princess
certainly made Il deep impression up
on the Seryians. Even those who
are personally not %favourably diSpos-
ed TO King Milan regretted that Rus
sin had succeeded in making such II
breach between Servia and Montene-
gro. The partisans of Karageorge-
vich in Servia, who had given up all
hope, were now reused to new activi-
~, accepting unreserved'y the Rus
sian guidance, while the pa'tisans Of
King Milan were inclined to look for
a Still closer leaning towards Austria
and Germany. In fact, the Russian
and Ser1iau politicians have been
these last five years moving in a vici-
Gus circle; themorethe Russians endea-
your to make repriSaIs against King
Milan and his Government for their
friendship with Austria, the more
King Milan and his Government nre
forced to look for Austrian support,
and tie more they do so the more the
Russians become enraged against
them.
The next P%anslavonic move against
Servia was the attempt at revolution
in the autumn Of 1888. The Servian
