bishop Tache has written to the Pope to use any

GENERAL ROsECRANS.

The Register of the Treasury Troubled by
the Buzzing of the Presidential Bee.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. Cit is we'll understood
here by all who have been observant of his con-
duct during the past two or three years, that
General Rosecrans. Register of the Treasury,
has presidential bee in his bonnet in the very
liveliest way. 1t will be remembered that just
before the nomination last summer number of
men, here and elsewhere, who claimed to be
members of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and who also claimed to be members of both the
great parties, met in this city and nominated the
old man for the presidency. The idea captured
him at once, and he believed that he was on the
broad and short road to the White House, and
that he would get there without any trouble.
But the movement fell fiat and dead, and enlist
ed no response from the people. Then Old Rosy
got mad at the soldiers and everybody else, and
he has been going for the q. A. r. boys ever
since. He has discharged moro veterans, in pro-
portion to the force employed under him. than
any officer under the administration. In conse-
quence, he and the army boys are at swords
points, and the latter are waiting to get even
with him. General Rosecrans may succeed in
running all the boys out of his Office and he
may fill their places with ex confederates, in de-
fance Of the civilservice law, but the Union
veterans will undoubtedly get his scalp in the
end The childish and impotent rage which he
has manifested over his failure to secure the
nomination last year renders him pitable in the
eyes Of manly men of all parties, and has low
cred him in the public esteem here.

such stuff, which consumes.a a great deal Of time,
and finally they demand that some well-known
citizen must identify them. In half the in
stances suitable man is not found to identify
the colored voter. His employer is nearly al
ways Democrat, and he will, of course, refuse
to identify him. If however, he is identified
by man who is unable to exercise the proper in
fuence, the voter is told to stand aside for n
while, when the matter will be settled. During
all these controversies, in which colored men ara
turned away from the polls great crowd Of
negroes are hanging about, waiting to vote.
Many Of them are frightened by the gathering
of white men, who are known to oppose
them, and go away without voting through
fear or turn away in disgust. and at every
election where there are, say, 500 votes in the
negro precinct, 400 of them will, by this scheme,
not vote.
THE reports of the machinery now in the
hands of North Carolina Bourbons were so favor
able to the Bourbons of Virginia that they
amended their Constitution very recently and
have exactly the same machinery. You can
very readily see how impossible it is to get out
anything like a full Republican vote The Dem.
ocrats who cluster about the balot.boxes on
election days, and those who are in charge of
the ballot boxes and are on the boards Of elec-
ton, are in the most desperate frame of mind,
and are ready to execute almost any act of des-
peration, because they feel that the whole judi
cial machinery, clear up to the Supreme Court of
the State, is in the hands of their own party.
This is the reason why say that only Repub-
lican should be admitted to the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Malone Virginia is
Republican by very many thousands majority.
1t is my opinion that the Senate will take some
steps in this matter which will eventuatc in
change of affairs in the South. The condition
of the ballot-box in Virginia and North Carolina
is more deplorable, and calls for more radical
treatment, if possible, than did slavery score
and half years ago."

LIFTING UP THE FALLEN.
An Incident Illustrating Secretary Lamar's
Kindness of Heart

An incident illustrating secretary Lamar's
Kindness of Heart.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Nov G-Secretary Lamar did a
very kind act a few days ago to an old friend
who had fallen in the dregs of dissipation. The
unfortunate man was Mssssippian, and the
Secretary had known him for many years as
very learned, conscientious and honest man,
but with an appetite almost uncomfortable for
strong drink The Secretary's friend came here
several months ago. it is stated and applied for
some position within the Interior Department
Knowing his weakness for drink the Secretary
would not intrust him with anything of a re-
sponsible nature, and rebufed him for a
while. Finally the Mississippi applicant became
discouraged and fell to drinking deeply. He was
drunk the streets for several days and land
ed in the station house one night in a beastly
state of intoxication. He was without money,
ragged and filthy. After he had staid there
awhile, he sent word to the Secretary, and he
was taken out. Then Secretary Lamar had q
talk with him, and the recreant individual prom
sed to reform if he was assisted. Secretar La
mar knew him to be a man who want
ed to do right, and he appointed
him to a position as teacher in an In
dian school in the Indian Territory-a place
where there is total inhibition from the sale of
all kinds of intoxicants, and where he could not
possibly be within the influence of temptation.
Then he Installed the wife of the unfortunate
man in a position worth 5000 year at the same
place, and after giving him good talk, and as
sstng him in a substantial way, bid him God
speed, and started him off on his journey. The
reports received from the man since his intro
duction into his position have been very good,
and it is believed that he will now reclaim him
self. Secretary Lamar has almost unlimited
faith in man whom he believes to be honest
and this is one of them.

No Change in the Situation at Galveston-In-
dications that Crisis Is Approaching.
GALVESTON. Nov. 6-The situation tonight
in the strike Of the knights of Labor against
the Mallory Steamship Company remains
unchanged. In their evening paper,
the Executive Board, the knights ex-
hort their brethren to frmness and
silence, and after defense of the causes alleged
for the strike. conclude with the threatening an
nouncement: ''You cannot starve us into sub
mission The whole city is stored with grocer
les, and the first law OF nature is self-preserva-
tion Be warned in time"
In the same issue the knights invite all colored
workmen to join the order and be protected from
the pauper labor of other countries. Perfect
stagnation exists in the trade of the
city Eight hundred bales of cotton
were loaded this afternoon by
colored men. The knights have taken steps to
stop further work of this character by withdraw "
ing the engineers and fremen from the barges
Many thousand bales of cotton await shipment
at Houston.
The indications point to an early crisis in the
situation. TIE strikers are getting very rest
who have forty idle ships on their
hands. President Sealy, of the Santa Fe
railroad has asked the national committee of
the Knights of Labor to meet him and others in
conference to morrow. kilograms have been
sent throughout the State summoning every
member of the committee to be present at ali
hazards.
In an interview at New York Mr.. Mallory said
that he had not the slightest intention of yield
ing, AS the demands of the strikers wholly
unreasonable, and one concession would only
open the way for more demands.
The history of this strike extends back to the
18th day of October, when $50 white longshore-
men on the Mallory wharf struck for higher
wages. They were getting 40 cents an hour
for day work, and 60 cents for nights
and Sundays They demanded so cents
an hour for day and night labor. The NAL
lory company, through Captain Sawyer. the
agent here resisted this demand, and put col
ored men to work under police protection. The
striking white 1ongshoremen were admitted to
mem bership in the Knights of Labor organiza-
ton, which sought to arbitrate matters, and sue
ceeded in obtaining the consent of the coored
1ongshoremen to equally divide their time with
the white strikers on the Mallory wharves This
proposition, however, did not meet with the
favor of the Mallory officers, who were de-
termined to retain the colored men.
