DEFEATING THE LAW,

The revelations recently made by the
San Francisco Call of the mslpractices by
which official sanction is given to viola
lions of the Chinese Restriction Act, have
led TO an investigation by the United
States Grand Jury. At this time it is not
possible to say with legal certainty who is
guilty of foisting disqualified Chinese upon
the State, but there is moral conviction
that no legal verdict will remove, that
large numbers of Chinese passengers have
been illegally landed at San Francisco by
official roguery and connivance, who would
else have been returned to China So, too,
there is every reason to believe that a
traffic has been maintained in certificates
of return, and that this practice has also
had official aid. There should be such a
going to the bottom " of the whole mat
ter as will result in a complete exposition
OF all the facts and a disclosure of all the
guilty parties. 4 Federal law has been
contemptuously treated, and violated by
men who were intrusted with its enforce
ment. Gross frauds have been perpetrated
in the procuring of certificates, and from
what is now known it is impossible for the
Federal departments at San Francisco to
escape the conclusion that these outrages
have been accomplished by the rascality of
Federal employees. There is reason to be-
lleve that direct brides have been taken to
smuggle Chinese ashore; that over and
again one Chinaman has been measured
ami described, in disguise, in order to Sc
cure the issuance of several certificates to
one person for the purposes of disposal {;
that perjury has been freely INDUCED in,
and that the methods of the Courts to Sc
cure the enforcement of the law have been
defeated by some of the very men who are
salaried to carry out the judgments of the
tribunals. The facts should be made so
clear that no possible doubt concerning
them will remain, and when the perpetra-
tors of the infamy are positively known,
there should be melted out such punish
ment as will deter any others from like
undertakings, and render evasion of the
Restriction Act extremely perilous.

make the noble text of Shakespeare do

the house of refuge for all those whose fame
is notoriety. Actresses who have worked
their way from the bottom round of the

Report on the Cholera in France.

WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-The final
report. dated October 1st, describing the
gradual subsistence of cholera at MarseilIes
and Toulon, and its disappearance from
Cette, has been received by the Secretary of
State from United States Consul Frank II.
Mason. The most fatal day at Marseilles
was tie 21st of August with a death record
OF 50; that of Toulon was the 9th of Au-
gust, on which date A deaths were record
ed. The subsistence of the scourge has been
gradual. and the deaths now occurring are
nearly all among the fugitives, who
have returned to their homes with
out due precaution with respect 10
ventilation and disinfection, or who
have been imprudent in their diet
or habits. The epidemic of 1885 had
claimed in Marseilles, from its outbreak
down to the date of the report, go vic.

mortality of these secondary outbreaks
having been uniformally less than half of

The lovers of tobacco have at last a slight
argument with which to meet the enemies
of " the weed" in the fact announced that
not one of 400 employees in a tobacco factory
at Valencia, Spain, has been attacked by
cholera, which has proved so destructive in
that city. To person, however, that does
not use the article, there would be little to
choose between being compelled to use
tobacco or have the cholera.
A scientific exchange says: "a French
chemist proposes coating the bodies of the
dead with skin of copper, which is readi-
ly effected by the weil-known process of
electro-plating. A second plating of gold
or silver could be added if desired. The
treatment permanently preserves the
corpses from chemical change, and has
already been applied to several human
subjects and to many animals" 1t should
not detract from the scientific fact here
stated, to remark that it is suspected the
discovery is not entirely new, but has been
in successful operation some time. This
furnishes basis for the entirely plausible
belief that the modern book agent is a
resurrected highwayman, fortified with
about fifteen electro platings of brass.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The
President has issued the following spe-
cial rule for the regulation and improve
ment Of the civil service:
Especial Rule No. 2, approved July
IL, 1884, is hereby revoked. All ap-
plicants On any register for postal or
customs service who on the lst day Of
November next shall have been thereon
one year or more. shall, in conformity
with Rule l6, he no longer eligible for
appointment from such register"
The special rule which is now re-
yoked provided that the names of those
persons on the registers of the CON-
mission eligible for appointment prior
TO July 10, 1884. should not be taken
off at the end of the year from the date
of being entered thereon. but should
remain on the registers as eligible for
appointment for two years from that
date without further examination or
notice. A reporter Of the Associated
Press called upon Commissioner Eaton
in regard to the foregoing new special
rule made by the President to-day.

ter, "made on the recommendation of

Mr.. Eaton: at was"
How long had this subject been
under consideration ?"
Mr.. Eaton 81 cannot answer def
nitely. have drafts of the rule on the
subject made in August before left
Washington for my summer vacation.
The matter was much discussed by the
Commission"
"What object will the rule serve?"
alt will take off the registers for
certification those Of a lower grade
than applicants who have received ap-
pointments. 1t can hardly be said that
it will give those to be hereafter cx-
amined any better chances for getting
appointments, because every one ister-
tilted for appointment on the basis of
his grade and regardless Of the time of
his examination. In other words, the
best of those on any new examination
are sure to be marked higher than those
left from former examination after SUI
pcrior ones have been appointed and
in more recent examinations. Those
competing are decidedly superior to
those who competed at earlier examina-
tons. The change now made will pre-
vent the ill-informed from thinking that
persons examined more than year ago
are retained on the registers in order to
give them places. Until this last spe-
cial rule was made all persons examin-
ed from TIE beginning Of the werk of
the Commission had been retained on
the registers, but all those left on the
registers from early examinations are
marked so low that they would have
had no chance for an appointment even
had not the special rule been made.

ward Brain was convicted Of unlawful
cohabitation to-day. His latest wife, a
Danish girl, testified freely as TO their
marital relations. Brain made q long
statement to the Court, maintaining the
truth Of his belief, of which, he said,
he was assured by the direct revelation
of God to himself. His covenants, he
said, were made for all eternity, and he
wonld stand by them at all hazards.
Judge Zane reminded Brain that two
Of his wives in this "eternal cove
nant" of which he spoke were already
divorced from him. His first wife was
dishonored in her old age. TIE talk Of
this being an eternal covenant under
Divine command was blasphemy, and
he was tired of hearing such hypocriti-
cal cant. The Court sentenced Brain
to six months in Jail and to pay fine
of $500.

FITZ IN ROANOKE CITY.
A Magnificent Reception and Splendid
Speeches.

A Magnificent Reception and Splendid
Speeches.
\ correspondent writing from Ro-
anoke City thus describes Fitz Lees
reception
Salem avenue was thronged with an
anxious crowd-the ladies predomi-
natine--to witness the arrival Of gal
liant Fitz and the long line Of horse
men. About o'clock the cava,cade
hove in sight, and soon Fitz Lee,
on his magnificent charger, with
General Jubal A. Early riding
beside him, passed down the avenue.
He was followed by at least two
regiments Of horsemen, the dust on the
men so thick you could scarcely recog-
nize your most intimate friends. Lee
was bowling to the right and left as he
rode along. At s o'clock the crowd
assembled on the baseball grounds,
where stand had been erected for the
speakers and seats had been arranged
for the large crowd. The grand-stand
on the baseball grounds was filled
with ladies, and many were seated else
where in the audience.
The first speaker, the Hon. A. A.
Phlegar, of Montgomery, was intro
duced and spoke about an hour, and
his speech was one of his best efforts.
Then sod Jubal" came forward
amidst deafening applause, and in a
few remarks introduced our gallant
standard-bearer, Fitzhugh Lee. For
some moments after Fitz arose one con-
tinuous round Of applause went up
from the immense audience. Lee then
proceeded 20 business, and although
very hoarse when he first be-
gan, he soon regained his voice,
and for one and half hours
held his audience. He was followed
by Ayers, who spoke about half an
hour in very forcible and effective
manner. Giles G. Huffman, our candi-
date for the Legislature, followed Ayers
with one of the best speeches have
heard for long while. He says he i,
going to beat Brand, and don't you for
get it. The speaking all through wa,
splendid, and the fireworks and music
between the speeches were very fine.
General Lee was the recipient Of nume-
rcus bouquets--one from an old lady Of
