The Only Way to Defeat spccr.

The Only Way To Dcicat Spcci.
The dispatches from Washington JUS
tifv the inference that the only Demo
crat in Congress who fayors the contirma-
ton Of the nomination of Emory Speer for
Judge of this district is senator Brown.
Senator Colquitt and the Representatives
from this State. and the Senators and
Democratic Representatives from South
Carolina. are working to defeat Mr.. Speer's
confirmation. 1t would seem as If the
positive and aggressive opposition of so
many influential Congressman to Mr..
Speer ought 10 overcome the influence that
he is able 10 control in his own behalf.
There is no particular reason for suppos-
ing that the Republican Senators are so
favorable To Mr.. SpeCr that all of them
Will refuse To regard the wishes OF sena-
tors Colquitt, Hampton and Butler. II
is assumed, of course. that Senator Brown
is the ONLY Democratic senator who viii
support Mr.. Spcer if a determined fight is
made AGAINST him. Tne three Senators
mentioned ought to be able to get enough
Republican Senators to vote with them,
as Il personal favor, t. render
Mr.. Speer's success impossible. The
question is, will they exert themselves to
the utmost Of their ability: They will
probably. If they are made to understand
how Objectionable Mr. Speer's nomination
is. They know, of course. that his nomi-
nation is not acceptable, but it Is doubt
full il they realize how strong the feeling
against him is. Means ought to be taken
at once 60 emphasize the protest against
Mr.. Speer's nomination SD strongly that
they would be induced To make eXtracr-
binary exertions TO defeat him. Senator
Brown has the reputation of being per
sistent and indetatigdble worker. 1t IS
certain that ne has not been idle in the
Spaer case, aud will not miss chance to
help Mr.. Speer. The only hope OF defeat
ing Mr.. Speer is in persistent, determined
and intelligent work.
The statement has been made that Capt.
Mercer did not agree to accept the Judge
ship until after Mr.. Speer had been nOmi-
mated. There is reason for thinking that
this is mistake. The fact is believed to
be that the President was informed that
Capt. Mercer would accept the office be-
fore Mr.. Speer was nominated, and that
the receipt of that Information caused
Mr.. Speer's nomination to be hurriedly
made and sent to the Senate. The circum-
stances attending the making of the nomi-
nation, however, are not of much conse-
quence now. The thing to be done is TO
secure Mr.. Speer's defeat. That can be
accomplished, if at all, only by unremit-
ting and intelligent work. Are those
most deeply interested IN this and other
cities of the Southern district ready to
take steps to secure the Kind of work
needed?

A Voluntary Exile from the state on the
Government of BarriOs.

Government of BarriOs.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Jose de SepuIveda,
a citizen of Guatemala and member of
leading family of that Central Ameri-
can State, is temporarily sOjOurning in
this city en- route to Washington. The
gentleman's travelling abroad at the
present time is due to the fact that he is
claimed to be a conspiretOr and revolu-
ZIONIST by President BarriCs, whose at
tentOns for that reason bee me Cmbar-
RAISING, II not absolutely dangerous. IN
the light of previous events SepulYeda
came TO the conclusion that foreign
tour was necessary for his health. and
escaped on horseback into Southern
Mexico and continued his journey into
the United States, with Washington as
his ultimate destination.
The gentleman laughs heartily when
Guatemala is referred to as a republic
He says that the Semblance of neither
political, civil nor religious liberty exists
there, BarriOs ruling with an iron nand,
an absolute despOt in his power and its
exercise. Springing from the lower order
himself it has been his policy from the be-
ginning to crush out the old spanish arts
tOcratic families and cater 10 the mob a
line of action that he has pursued with
great success. To accomplish this he has
not hesitated TO commit the most shock
ing barbarities, shooting and aSSasSina-
ting men and logging ana imprlsonlng
delicate aud refined women, lndlctlng
punishment as his caprice dictates or
moves him.
Barrios sees with alarm the possibility
of the United States becoming interested
in Nicaraguan affairs through the ratlt-
cation of the canal treaty, as its adoption
would be a checkmate to his cherished
ambition. For the purpose Of defeating 1t
ne has already secured the services oil
leading Washington lobbyists, who are
we'll supplied with funds to indirectly
raise q cry against the project and infiu-
ence public opinion against the proposed
work.
senior Sepulveda win visit Washington
not in the interest of the canal, which
does not concern him, but 10 enlighten
our statesmen upon the true character Of
Barrios, his far-reaching plots and
schemes, and if possible to counteract tue
influences that ne has employed to hood
wink and deceive our national Legislators.

He has been arraigned before the bar OF

A law appears to be needed in New
York fixing the limit Of a labOrer's saw
ings. A policeman arrested a servant
woman the other day because she had on
her person $50 cash and two bank books
showing deposits to her credit in savings
banks to the amount Of some 5000. She
was arrested on suspicion" because
the officer thought she had too much
wealth for person in her walk of life.
The Police Justice, however, was en-
lIghtened enough to dismiss her when her
mistress appeared and swOre that the
woman was honest and had saved the
money from the wages Of several years.

Discriminating Against Savannah.
In the river and harbor bill reported to
the House appropriations, according to
the dispatches. are provided as follows:
For the improvement of Charleston harbor
$lJO.000 81. Johns rivers lj0, 000 Cumber-
land sound $4,000, and for the Savannah
river only $50, 200. There is mauilestly
either an error in the amount for the
Savannah river or the committee has done
our river great injustice. To continue
the work now in hand fully S33O,0OO Is
required for next years plans Of the
United States Engineer Corps, and with
any smaller amount the work already
done will suffer seriously, and the perma-
nent improvement hoped for vii! be much
retarded. The improvements are at that
critical stage that, unless sufficient funds
are forthcoming, the increased draft OF
water already obtained will be seriously
ieOpardized.
This is a matter which interests every
portion of our community, and affects the
material prosperity of our city. 1t be-
hooves our City Council, tIe Cotton EX-
change and Board Of Trade TO take united
and prompt action in this matter in order
that the true state OF affairs may be prop
erly represented at Washington, and that
our harbor may receive that consideration
which, as the largest cotton port on the
Atlantic, it deserves.

creditors, and made his wife a nre.
Tered creditor--she having just put
into the business some $4,000 or $4,000
recently received from the estate of A
deceased relative.
Such of the property as had not al.
ready been attached was claimed tn
be exempt by Mr.. Braiden, the as.
s'gnee, but the Sheriff, fortified by an
lndemnifying bond, nevertheless sold
1t. Mr.. Braiden afterward declined
to act as assignee, and left the coun.
try. Thereupon L. K. Picotte was
requested to accept the assignment,
which he did.
SUIT was commenced against Sher.
Id Furey, and on the trial. at the last
term of Court,the jury returned a yer.
dict which, with costs, amounts to the

caring to carry on the suit, as the as
s'gnment was perfectly good, the
plaintiffs attorney took out an execu-
ton, whereupon the Sheriff, in default
of the bondsmen, paid the full amount
and commenced suit to recover the
amount from the bondsmen.
