EDNA HEARD FROM.

The post Office war Is progressing at
Edna. For some time past commu.
nications have appeared in the Quincy
papers concerning different persons
in and around Edna, touching up the
ost Office contest at that place.
These communications have gone to
the press under fictitious names, the
ast one appearing in the Quincy
Herald OF the 4th inst. signed Pike,
and written from Edna. The article
in question was intended as slander
on Pike Moore and said some hard
things about him. Pike Moore, who
is a magnificent specimen of the
genns homo, got aboard the train Mon
day morning and went to Edna and
accused Griffin Frost, Editor of the
Democrat, as being the author of the
the article, Mr.. Frost denisd it and
called Pike a id liar. This caused
Pike to lose his equilibrium and put
out a forcible feeler with his right
when a general fight ensued. The
parties were promptly taken before
Mayor Bryant and fned two dollars
and costs each. There were no bones
broken and the wood pile over which
they fought was not demolished. TAX
ing.it all in all, it was very untra-
glc ending to an affair in which an
editor vas a conspicuous figure.

The letters of Gen. Gordon, which the
English Government has just made pub
lie. show that much that was published
about his ability to defend Khartoum for
almost any length of time was false. They
also show that he criticised unsparingly
the hardness of the government in send
ing MN relief.
He understood the situation in SOudan
much better than the government did, and
if his advice had been acted upon prompt
" there is reason to believe that England
would not be occupying the dangerous
and rather humiliating position in which
she now finds herself. He called earnest
" Tor help, and pointed out the danger
that attended delay.
That the government paid very little
attention to him for long time, and that
when it did cOndescend to notice his ap-
peals it moved with eXasperating slow
ness, cannot be denied.
Mr.. Gladstone says that the government
did all it could to rescue Gen. Gordon,
and probably he is sincere, but unfortu-
natelv for him the English people do not
appear to agree with him. The excuse is
advanced that if Gen. Gordon had not
been betrayed, he would have been able
to hold out until help reached him, and
that if the English army had appeared in
Soudan sooner. khArtOum would have
fallen sooner, because il was arranged be-
tween the Mahdi and the traitors that the
place should be turned over to the enemy
as soon as the English army had advanced
within a certain distance Of it.
This excuse may be accepted by some,
but it does not yet appear that it rests
upon very solid foundation. Even if
the facts are as stated it does not relieve
the government of the charge Of having
neglected Gen. Gordon. The government
knew nothing about the plan to betray
him until after his death.
The facts probably are that the govern
ment hoped in some way TO get rid of
sending an army to SOudan. 1t didn't
want to become entaneled in Egyptian
affairs and didn't want to acquire any
Egyptian territory.
The order sent to Gen. Gordon to aban-
don the garrison at Khartoum and return
home shows this. OF course Gen. Cor
don refused to obey the order. If he had
obeyed it the garrison would have been
massacred and the civilized world would
have condemned both him and England.
But even if the garrison had been aban-
doned. it is not certain that England
would not have been forced to do what
she is attempting to do now, viz: destroy
the MahdPs power. Gen. Gordon said
that that would have to be done, and tie
indications are that he was right. Even
if the motion to censure the government
for its Egyptian policy is defeated a very
large portion Of the English people will
entertain the opinion that the government
is responsible for Gen. GOrdon's death,
and 10 blame for the failure of the cam
,,..i..-, for. tho rnIief of khartOum.

The Swain Sentence.

There will be some surprise expressed
doubtless at the sentence of the court
martial in the case of Judge Advocate
General Swain. He ought TO feel CRATE
full that he was not dealt with more harsh
". The sentence. as stated in our dis
patches, is suspension from rank and
duty for twelve years and a reduction
of pay to one-half.
Doubtless this sentence appears severe
enough to Gen. Swain, and it is pretty
severe sentence, 1t is the disgrace which
attends conviction, and not the loss Of
pay which hurts, although Gen. Swain
has the reputation of always keeping a
good lookout for a chance to make money.
He had two trials on two separate sets
Of charges. He was convicted of the
charge 5 on which he was first tried, and
acquitted of the charges in the second
trial. The charges against him on the
first trial were that he attempted to oh
tain meney from Banker Bateman in an
unlawful manner, and was guilty of con-
duct UnbecOming an officer and gentle
man. In the Bateman matter it was al
legged that he deposited money with Bate
man for which he took a due bill, and
that having checked the money out
or lost it in stock speculations he disposed
of the due bill
The President appears to have been in
favor of a severer sentence than the court.
The soldiers who tried Gen. Swain seemed
rather disposed to be lenient with him.
This was not to have been expected, as
Gen. Swain was appointed to the position
Of Judge Advocate General little over
four years ago over the heads of many
officers, who had much better right and
title to the place. The appointment was
alleged to have been the result of a bar
gain between Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Garfield.

A HUSBANDS REVENGE.
A FaithIess Wife Takes the Poison She
had Prepared for Him.

A FaithIess Wife Takes the Poison She
had Prepared for Him.
PARIS, Feb. pa most sensational
drama has just occurred here in the fam
ily of wealthy well known Americans,
residing near the Avenue Bots de Bou-
logne. The married couple lived most
happily together for several years, but
last week the husband discovered that his
wife was guilty Of clandestlne relations
with his gardener. Ten days later he
found in one of his wife's dresses a love
letter from the gardener, in which the
latter spoke of her poisoning her husband
and clipping with her lover to New York,
where they might live in enjoyment.
The husband said nothing. In silence
he awaited the moment for a terrible re-
venge. Last night as the husband and
wife were going to bed, the wife placed.
according to her usual custom, two
glasses of sugar and water-One for her
self and one for her husband-on the
dressing table near the bed, the wife, as
she had always done, putting the sugar in
the water. The husband watched the
operation without betraying any unusual
expression.
Just as his wife was about to drink, the
husband asked her to hand him a silk
handkerchief that was hanging on the
back of the chair. AS his wife turned
around to take the handkerchief, the hus-
band quickly and adrOitly reversed the
trav, upon which were the two glasses, so
that the one intended for him stood in the
place of that intended for his wife. The
husband and wife then drank at the
same moment. AS the husband, after
emptying the glass, calmly replaced it on
the dressing table, his wife fell to the floor
shrieking in agony. She had swallowed
the dose of strychnine that she had with
her own hands prepared for her husband.
The affair causes a great sensation.
The wife is not dead yet, but is suffering
terribly. An official inquiry is being in
stituted, and the husband and gardener
were arrested.
No information of the affair could be
gained at the prefecture of police,

Looking After the Appropriations

EAANCl
Representative Blount appears to be a
member who looks after the interests Of
his constituents very carefully. Augusta
Macon and Savannah have all been trying
for years to get appropriations for puollc
buildings, but Macon alone Is successful
thus far. 1t is not probable that either Of
the other cities will get an appropriation
this Congress. Mr.. BlOunt, who repre-
septs the Macon district, is always at his
post OF duty ready TO take advantage Of
every opportunity to do good work for his
district He understands how difficult it
is TO get an appropriation for public
building, or, in fact, to get any measure
through Congress which is of a local char
acter. 1t is no wonder that his constit-
uents keep him at Washington.
The Representative for this district has
not been idle this session. He has shown
tact and skill in securing benefits for this
section. He is entitled to the credit for
securing an appropriation for fast mail
service and for a dredge to be used at
Charleston and on the bars OF the Sayan-
nan and st. Johns rivers.
He could greatly increase the esteem in
which he is held, however, by securing
an increase in the appropriation Tor the
improvement of the Savannah river. We
do not know how he could accomplish
what is desired: that is the problem for
him to solve.
1t seems that Representative Guenther,
of Wisconsin, solved problem of this
! kind. so far as his section is concerned.
He wanted an appropriation for Fox
river. The River and HarbOr Committee
/ refused to give it to him. In fact, it re-
! fused 10 even give him a hearing. Mr..
! Guenther did not intend to be defeated so
easily. He filed with the Clerk of the
! House 80 amendments, each OF which
| called for an appropriation for Fox river.
The first called for 100000, the next $685.
600, and so on to the last, which called
for $4,000.
When Mr.. Willis learned what Mr..
| Guenther had done, he said to him that if
he insisted on his amendments he would
defeat the river and harbOr bill. The
! rules entitled him to three minutes on
! each amendment, and it would be impos-
sible to keep others from speaking. Mr..
| Guenther said that it was his business to
look out for the interest of his constitu-
ents and Mr.. Willis business to take care
| of the bill. Mr.. Willis, in order to save
his bill, called the committee together and
agreed to an appropriation of $4,000 for
the Fox river. That is the way Mr.. Guen-
Their got what he wanted for his district.
We do not suggest to our Representative
to pursue the same plan to get the Savan-

he should hit upon some plan to accom-
plish what we want he would certainly
get all the credit to which he would be en-
| titled.
