Mr.. Justice of the Peace Meagher.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
In the Cincinnati Enquirer of to-day is ar
tlcie relating. among other things, to the Meagh-
er case, in which it said that at consultation
of prominent Democrats at the Grand Hotel yes
terday the 'real facts" in the case were given out
that Mr.. Meagher was elected a magistrate and
duly qualified as SUCH but that afterward the
County Commissioners Of Vigo county, who
created the Office, abolished it," and that as there
was no office for him ''his judicial functions
ceased with the abolition of the Office" and that
in the opinion of leading Democrats, this would
settle the matter"
Section 14l9 of the Revised Statutes of 1881
reads as follows
The reduction of such number shall not operate to
remove any justice from Office
If, according to the real facts of the case" as
above stated, Meagher was elected and after
ward filed his bond ard took the oath of Office,
as above stated he was as much judicial off
Ger AS though he had discharged the duties of the
Office for any definite part of his official term,
since it is the election and qualification which
fixes and determines his status as SUCH and in
view OF the section above quoted, no subsequent
action of the Commissioners could in the least de-
gree affect him. 1t is here respectfully submitted
that this position is not moro tenable than the
many others from which the party has been
driven in this matter Mr.. Voorhees, and the
Denocracy's most prominent leaders to the con
tIary notwithstanding.
The position reminds me of the Indiana JUS
tice who divorced a couple and defended his
action on the ground that he had married them
and that whatever he did he certainly had the
right to undo W. j. s.

A Nobleman in the Chorus.


In the ''Erminie" chorus there is a handsome
young German with high tenor voice. lie Is
the son Of Prussian nobleman Of high rank, a
graduate of two universities and an exofficer of
conspicuous Brandenburg regiment. He got
into trouble; there was lady, rival and pistol
bullet. and the young soldier fed He LANDED IN
New York without penny, and worth only the
speak word OF English and did Tot know soul.
and fell into the hands OF the German Chari-
table Society They sent him to Philadelphia,
telling him he would at once receive employ
ment He did The nobly born, dashing officer
of a few weeks previously was sent out with
tin sausage boiler to peddle on the streets. 1t
toss-up with him each night for three
weeks whether he should drown himself or con-
tinue his occupation as sausage vender. and long
hours of bitter reflection were passed in the
wretched court where he was forced to sleep,
and then slight improvement of his circum-
stances arrived. He was engaged waiter at
concert garden. By degrees he picked up a
little English and at times mounted the garden
stage and sung some of his student songs. One
evening comic opera manager strolled in and
heard the roilicking tenor song sung by the
seedy waiter, and offered him position in his
chorus For year or two he has wandered
from chorus to chorus, making friends every
where. and proving himself to be what he is, an
impulsive, warm hearted, thoroughly generous
fellow. Now hear that family influence has
been at work. so that the prodigai may soon be
able to return to his fatherland.

Trying to Steal Senator Shroyer's Seat.
Special to tue Indianapolis journal.
LoGANsPoRT, Nov. 4-Late on Friday night
there was placed on file in the clerks ofies g
notice of contest to A. r. Shroyer's right 20 q
seat in the State Senate Mr.. Shroyer is Re-
publican, and was elected by 364 majority. The
contest articles were signed by politician
named Surface, who willingly made himself a
tool for the Democratic managers. Surface is
an irresponsible Democrat. and probably the
only man in the county who could be persuaded
to file the papers. The notice of contest was
filed in response to positive instructions from
the Democratic committee at Indianapolis, who
sent out blank forms of affidavit Surface al
leges that illegal votes were cast, and that Shroy
er's name was printed on ticket headed
Democratic ticket" The notice was fled
over the protest of every leading Democrat in
the county. A large number of leaders of the
party signed an open protest against it.
In response to a telegram from Senator Voor-
| annapolis last night and returned this morning.
He stated that he would let the contest remain,
and should the Republicans declare Democrats
| in the House ineligible he would be given his
seat, would vote for United States Senator, and
then resign.
The feeling here in both parties is so high that
should Daniels be given Shroyers seat. and ac-
cept it. he could not live in the city. The con-
testing affidavit was smuggled out of the clerks
Office by Daniels, who refused to give it up until
| compelled to do so by the clerk to-day.

Miss Winnie Davis's Accomplishments.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
In the cheerful reading room of the New York
Hotel, Gen. Joseph r. Anderson conversed this
morning about Miss Winifred Davis, the daugh-
ter of jefferson Davis. when the young lady
came to Richmond" said the General, 'she was
received and entertained by Governor Lee For
some days prior to her departure from Rich
mond, and until Yesterday morning, she was my
guest, coming to this city with Mrs. Anderson,
Mr.. Thomas Emory and myself. Dur
ing her brief visit to my home I
found that her mental gifts had
not been exaggerated by the press of the coun.
try. She is, without doubt, an unusually intel
ligent and wellnformed young lady. Her edu-
cation is thorough and broad have never met
q man who, in point of general and exact knowl-
edge, equaled Jefferson Davis, and in this fact l
see the greatest resemblance between father and
daughter. Mr.. Davis sent his daughter to Ger
many, where she studied for five years, and ac-
quired the French and German languages. After
her return he instructed her at home, and it
seems to me not at all improbable that in conse-
quence of these advantages she was we'll equipped
to aid her father in his historical work"

While the Democratic State leaders are wor-
rying over the Legislature, Sim Coy has head
quarters in the Grand Hotel, not for from their
rooms, where the United States grand jury in
vestigation of fraudulent taly-sheets is dis
cussed. 1t is not an uncommon thing to meet a
ward worker in the lobby of that hotel who is
is either going to or coming from the room of the
little boss. The investigation begins on Wednes-
day, and as the day approaches the anxiety Of
those who possibly know more about

last night from mysterious mission to Chicago

points of defense in the Mackn case Mr. By

no reply Fifteen minutes afterwards when

the two were in consultation. 1t is the talked of
plan on the part of the Democrats that they TOO
will supply evidence of election frauds to the
grand jury. Coy refers to his abundant sources
of information on which he proposes to draw.
Il know of who voted twice in
the Twenty first ward he said. II have got
the facts and they are going before the grand
jury. That fellow voted once and short time
afterwards voted at the same poll under the same

no doubt that any or all Of the appIi cants, and

the office, would have nade- good post masters
il they could have had the chance to have made
public service. There was great deal Of disatis-
faction when MI. CoOta was appointed through
the instfunen salty of Mr. Malone, but he be-
came very populaa as public officer. He was
most agreeable courteous and cbliging and won
the good opinion OF most of his opponents and
we have no doubt that Mr.. McFall's natural
love OF style will! induce him to furnish every
learned yesterday that he had alIe ady ordered
one of those beautifully arranged set of boxes
for the yse OF his office. The office will be kept
