EXCUSE OF rHR REGULATORS.
TAMMANY HALLS STAND.

Public Officers Should Not be Tram
meled In Making Appointments.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Tammany
Hall general committee, at Its meeting
tonight, passed resolutions relating TO
civil service reform, demanding from the
State and Federal authorities complete re-
demption of the pledges made by the
Democratic party at the late presidential
election, to secure 10 the people Of the
State and nation an efficient, capable and
honest public service; protesting against
any legislative or administrative meas
ures which may tend to create a govern
ment ofice-holding class in this country;
denouncing all attempts TO grant
life tenure OF Office TO any body of public
servants as the first step toward the sub
version Of those doctrines OF equality
which have been the safeguard Of the re-
public; declaring that appointments TO
office should be made on the untrammeled
and undivided responsibility Of the public
officers chosen by the people for that pur-
pose, and answerable 70 their cOnstitu-
ents for the manner in which they
have discharged their trusts; that
the creation Of irresponsible boards
or commissions vested with author
rity TO control or interfere
with the exercise of the power of appoint
ments by elective officers is an abridge-
ment OF the powers conferred upon the
chosen servants of the people, and con-
demning it as an unwarrantable invasion
OfpublIc right and an undemocratlc and
indefenslble restriction Of the vigor and
effect of suffrage.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor, Bourke Cochran,
Gen. +. b. Spinola, and George IL. Foster
spoke against the civil service system,
and Gen. Pryor closed his remarks by
advocating the nomination or David b.
Hill for Governor.

CAR0LINA'S REGULATORS
INCORPORATION PUNISHED BY
MASKED MEN.

Hickory Switches the Only Remedy 30
Far Used-A Merchant Worth S4S,OOO
Feels the Sting-One Offending Family
Receive a Second VisitatiOn.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. ia full
account is published of the recent doings
Of bands OF white regulators in Fairfield
county, showing that their motive is
determination TO abolish miscegenation.
Last July regulators composed of the best
young men of the county visited farm
near Ridgeway, where lived white
family named Boyles, one Of the daughters
livlng openly with negro men. Two
others kept a disreputable house tor
negroes. The regulators whipped Boyles,
his wife and two daughters, and warned
them to leave the county.
SECOND DOSE.
In ten DAYS Boyles begged to be allowed
to harvest his crop. and on account OF his
poverty he was given leave TO do 30, but,
in the meantime, the original order being
disObeyed, the regulators gave the family
another whipping. Next, the regulators
visited parties between RidgeWay and
Winusboro and whipped them badly.
Lloyd Davis, who has negro mistress,
was next visited, but he got away. His
household furniture was badly broken
up, and his colored family warned TO quit.
RICH MERCHANT WHIPPED.
Thomas DAVIS, the richest merchant in
Ridgeway, reported worth $4,000, was
given ten days to quit because he had
negro mistress and family. He left his
business in the hands Of his clerks aud
put out for Mississippi. Ross Williams.
living on the other side of Ridgewav with
a negro woman, was visited and showed
fight, but was severely whipped, as was
his mistress, and they were ordered TO
leave. Ten families, all mixed, have felt
the power OF the regulators so far. The
excuse the regulators give is that the
grand jury does not take cognizance OF
those living in open adultery, because it
is so hard to prove the existence OF such
fact.
EXCUSE OF THK REGULATORS.
The people could not be reached by the
law, and so it was determined to reach
them outside OF the law. The chief Of
tenders, whether warned or not, are dis
solving their establishments and leaving,
aud fear of exposure ard punishmentpre-
walls. The regulai ors disguise themselves
while visiting by covering their faces with
cloths. No weapons but hickory switches
have been used.

tinuation OF Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l1.-It can be
stated authoritatiYelY that there is absO-
luteiy no foundation for the current report
that the President or the Secretary OF the
Treasury has prepared a compromise
silver measure embodylng the substance
OF the Warner scheme for submission to
Congress when 1t meets. Neither
the President nor the Secretary Of
the Treasury has as yet formu.
lated any recommendations TO Congress
on the subject OF silver coinage. They
are giving much time to It's consideration,
but the-whOle matter is still In an unset
tied condition, Both the President and
secretary Manning have received many
communications from bankers, merchants
and others In the principal cities, but their
suggestions present, when compared
much contradictory advice.
DESIRES or THE ADMINIsrRATIoN.
Only one thing can be stated as certain
at this time, and that is that the admins
tratiOn would Ike 10 see the coinage Of
the silver dollar suspended. it is pre-
sumRble that this desirable end can only
be effected by compromise. but this COM
promise Will be made In Congress.
Inc measure emDOdylng III VIII be framed
at the capitol, not In the White House or
the Treasury Department. II is idle 20
predict now what that compromise will
be. IL Is safe to say that the Warner
scheme finds no favor with the adminis-
tration.

A LEGEND OF POPE GREGORY.

TRADITION asserts that there once exist
ed at Rome has relief representing Ira
Jan on horseback in all his glory, and in
front of him woman sadly kneel!ng.
Nothing can be more probable, and if such
was really the case the suppliant female
would, no doubt, represent conquered
province, just as Daoia is represented on
one of Trajan's medals as a woman on her
knees. However this may be. ont OF the
tradition sprang story Illustrative OF Ira
JAMS Justice. On the point of starting on
a campaign, it is said, the Emperor was sud"
denly stopped by a poor widow, who flung
herself on her knees before him and be-
sought him to right her wrongs. He exc
postulated. but finally yielded, and did her
,ustice BEIGE he resumed his march. This
was the first half of the story's growth.
The second seems to have followed at
later period. According to the completes
legend, as Pope Gregory the Great passed
through the Forum of Trajan one day, he
bethought himself of that Emperor's many
merits, and especially of his admirable con.
duct in righting the widows wrongs. And
q great sorrow came over him at tie bought
that SO excellent a pagan should be lost
eternally. Whereupon he prayed earnestly
and constantly for Trajan's salvation, until
at last a voice from on high informed him
that his prayer was granted, but that IN
future he was to pray only for Christian
souls. A later addition OF the legend told
how Gregory learned from an angel that,
by way of punishment or his indiscreet
though successful Intervention, he WOULD
.u..O. nfaiaules Tor
the rest of his life. The question as to
.hoti.cr Gregory was justified in his pro.
- ture greatly exercised the minds Of many
~.cdimval casuists, one of whom solved the
problem. and escaped from the doctrinL
difficulties which it presented, by the FOL.
lowing ingenious explanation. No one, he
said, cen be saved unless he be baptized.
But baptism is precisely what Gregory OBJ.
tanned for Trajan. At the Pope's prayer
the Emperor's soul returned to his body,
Gregory baptized it. "and the soul, again
quitting its earthly casa, went straight up
lnao he..e."

New ORLEANS, La, Apr. so 1885
Among the impressive paintings in the
Art Gallery-"Wating for Monteznma"
by Tavsemier. 1t derives Its interest from
the pathetic tradition of the simple AZ
tee PEG pie, who are here represented as
looking forward to the coming of him
who was to be their Messiah, dream
rudely broken and dispellcd by the con-
querlng and uercenary Spanyard. 1t is
somewhat remarkable thst artists in all
ages have drawn their most interesting
subjects from the religious traditions OF
the people, and as in 1.-THE Last Supper"
the work before us illustrate one OF the
most affecting incidents or traditions of
people who, until disturbed by the
incursions of a more religious race" are
believed to have lived in the devoted
practice of the best principles of all re.
ligion, observing the Golden Rule, and
even repaying the vindctive and mon-
strous cruelties of the bigoted and blood
thirsty invaders with Offices of kindness
and mercy. At least this picture i'm

mate of the character of the Aztecs.

Mignots Niagara" the large canvas
painting of 40 American wonder bv an
American artist. Here power, majesty
and beauty are blended; mountains of
seething waters, whose irresistible plunge
over the lofty ledge to the awful depth
below, startle the beholder, treasured and
composed when he sees the foaming BILE
lows changing into gentle waves, flowing
peacefully away, crowned and encircled
by thousand mingled rainbow hues.
Louis Remy Mignot, the artist, although
an American, spent most of his life
abroad, and died in London fifteen wears
ago, leaving this immortal image of the
eternal Niagara as rich legency to his
countrymen and to the world. In the
contemplation of what is really beautiful
and instructive here, the regret that tie
whole people are unable to see and study

respondents mind; about as profitable an
Investment as the government could have
made would have been an appropriation
to have leased the railroads three months
