A Boy Put on Trial for Murder.

PHILDELPHIA, May 26-George Caldwell
was put on trial in the Oyer and Terminer
Court to-day, for the murder of Water S,ott
Brown. Caldwell is about eleven years old,
and Brown was eight years OF age. 1t ap-
peared from the testimony, that on April II,
Caldwell, with two little companions, Mi
chael Logue and Martin Carroll was passing
along the street with little wagon, when
they were set upon by Brown and two COM
panions, who beat Logle and Carroll aud
drove them away. Other boys then came
up, and threatened Caldwell. who, to defend
himself, picked up piece of coal and threw

A MOBILE, Ala, special to the Chicago

Washington for the purpose of furthering by
Congressional legislation the restoration to
Southsrn planters the cotton seized by the
Government in 1865. After the Issue of ths am.

is claim ed that the Secretary OF the Treasury
sent agents South, ar d, under the plea of seiz-
ing all cotton belonging to the Confedsracy,
took lot belonging to private parties and
had it sold ia New York the net proceeds
being turned into the Treasury. The Su-

FREQUENTLY the Republican scitor or q
disgrunt tied, disappointed Democrat, works
c Fl the old chestnut" that the Vice Presi-
dent has no influence and that the Indian
apolis Postmaster is the only appointment
that can be traced to him. We have no pri-
vate information, but If this is true some of
the Washington correspondents of the Re-
publican organs must have been guilty of a
deal OF lying since the 4th of March. We all
remem Der what IA excitement and rivalry
arose concerning the appointment of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and after
that matter was settled how it was tele-
graphed over the country that the Kentucky
Senators and Congressional delegates were
swearing vengeance against the Vice Presi-
dent, because Just as it vas agreed that Phil
Thompson was 10 receive the appointment
the Vice President championed Mr.. Miller's
candidacy so enthusiastically az to settle the
case in his favor. Miler's appointment
ranked next In Importance to a Cabinet
position. It wa also telegraphed at the time
that the Hon. B. w. Hanna had brought all
the il iuence he could command upon the
State Department to bring about his appoint
ment, and had failed. He only succeeded
after Mr.. Hendricks had gone with him to
the President and made personal appeal in
his behalf, and We do not believe
that Mr.. Hendricks was under any
SOFT of an Obligation to do this
for MIR. Hanna. 1t was simply done
as a matter of duty, although the average
Bourbon Republican is not expected to see
it in any other light than as successful
hunt for the ''spoils."
Washington correspondents also attributed
Tom Ryan's Alaska appointment to Mr..
Hendricks. and we might name others, but
the matter is not very important. and these
are enough TO demonstrate that Republican
orgsrs and disgruatled Democrats must turn
their mud spsitsring machines in other di.
rections than the one indicated.
