THE BLAIR BILL.

The Democratic caucus held in
Washington on last Thursday
night, decided that the Blair Edu-
cational bill could not be considered
q party measure. We can't see
why not, and we warn Democratic
Congressman that they can't 90
before the people this fall, when
they want to be reelected, and eX-
cuse themselves for not passing
this bill at the pIesent session, by
simply saying that the Democratic
caucus decided that it was not a
party measure.
The people want this bill passed,
Democrats, North and South, want
this bill passed, and we tell you
the people will make it a party
measure when they walk mp to the
polls to put in their votes.
The bill passed the Senate, which
is Republican it fails to pass the
House, which is Democratic, to
whose door will its failure be laid {?
The question answers itself, if the
next House is Republican, the
Democratic members of the present
session will have only themselves
to thank.
But some one Will say the bill is
unconstitutional, and you'll find
that the people will say; "The
constitution has been a dead letter
for more than a quarter of a cen
fury. The South has suffered in
Vulnerable times from the disregard
of the constitution, and now must
they suffer still more for the sake
of a constitution which has, 10,
these many years, been vastly
more hOnored in the breach than IN
the observance ?" You may stuff a
handful of constitutions, printed in
large type, on giltedge paper,
down the throat Of every voter in
the South, and nine out of ten of
them will still demand the passage
of the Blair bill, and still condemn
You for violating the pledges set
out in your platform, in defeating
the passage of the bill. Realize
these facts and save the next House
to Democracy, by passing this bill
before it is too late. Republicans
are rejoicing at your action

A CASE Of POLITICAL ASSASSINATION

A CASE Of POLITICAL ASSASSINATION,
The conspiracy against Mr..
Goode has eliminated at last in his
defeat. When he was first assail-
ed his friends thought him thrice
armed but a Just quarrel has
amounted to very little against the
plot Matched for his political assas-
sinatlOn. The scheme, as is well
known, originated with General
Malone, who, from first to last,
worked with no real capital TO at.
tain his ends. This was so well
known that for a considerable time
the opinion on this subject was that
Republicans in the Senate would
support Mr.. GOOde in sufficient
numbers to secure his confirmation.
Even at a late period Mr.. Eyarts
took a position which, for time,
seemed TO assure Mr.. Goodies
safety; but, with characteristic
sclfshness and Iimidity, he recant.
ed his opinion and crnged before
the whip that Malone brandished.
1t is a keen whip which the "little
General" Yields, for it has a lash
that is labeled "Republlcan vote of
Virginia in the next nominating
Convention Of the party The
Republican leaders, whom Malone
has long dominated, could not
stand up against this, and the re-
suit is before us. The conspiratOrs,
who stand morally guilty Of an at
tempt at political murder, were
long in maturing their plans, and
they were so elaborate and so vindi-
catlve as to show that the agents
were eager to win the approval of
the master spirit of the plot. The
division of labor in the work of
striking down good man was
threefold, and three executiOners
were assigned to the task. Ed
munds, the cold and bitter South
hater, undertook to charge profess
siOnal incompetency; lloar, who is
remarkable for his genius in the
invention of facts, took up the So
called election frauds and ingalls,
discussed the Pan Electric bust
ness. In other words, Gen. Malone
and a great monopoly stood behind
the strangers and drove them on
to their work. But that no foul
blow might be lacking in Mr..
Goodies official taking of, Edmunds
refused to produce the alleged let
tiers to which he referred when max
ing the unwarrantabIe charge that
there had been an attempt at UNI
due influence to confirm the nOmi-
nation of the upright Solicitor Gen
eral. Under these circumstances
Mr.. GOOde has the proud conscious
ness that his character cannot suf.
fer from his defeat. Here at his
home where his daily walk and
conversation have been known
to his fellow citizens for twenty
odd years, there is but one feeling,
that Of honest indignation at his
treatment, but one opinion, that of
his entire innocence Of any unbe-
coming or improper act. He is
stronger to-day than he has ever
before been in the State Of Virgin
ia, and the attempt to put him down
has but exalted him in the eyes of
his countrymen. Mr.. GoOde is in
the meridian Of his powers. lie is
strong, able, and courageous, and
those who have sought his destruc-
ton have but added to his strength
before our people, and increased
his claims upon their respect and
affection.

THE GREELY EXPEDITION.
Maurice Councils Statements De
CIared 20 BE False.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 26.-Tbe
statements made in the Associated
Press dispatches yesterday of Maurice
Council, q member of the Greedy ex-
petition, were today shown to julius
r. FrederiCks, a member of the expe-
dition, who is now engaged in business
in this city. The statements of Con-
nell were to the effect that it was
doubtful if the American flag was re.
ally placed further north than the
English flag; that Greedy himself was
suspected of stealing the food; that
Henry and DR.. Pavsy were falsely &C
cussd OF doing so, and that Greedy
caused Henry TO be shot for an offense
which he condoned in others. To a
reporter of the Journal Sergeant Fred
ericks said, with some warmth: "These
statements are almost entirely false. l
myself cav Henry stealing food on
three different occasions, and the party
demanded bis life on three different oc-
Casions before Greedy would allow 1t TO
be taken. Henry was prisoner during
the greater part OF the winter because
OF his thefts, and the guard was taken
away from him only when 30 many
men had died that it was impossible
to guard him longer. | am satisfied
that DR.. Pavey stole some OF the food,
and Whistler acknowledged that he
had done 30. Some of the men sus-
pected that Greedy also stole food, but
nobody had any direct evidence that
such was the case. Whistler was
reprimanded for his theft and warned
against its repetition. There is some
truth in the statement that Greedy
condoned the theft of food by others,
as he condoned Henry's ofense. AS
TO the statement that there is doubt
OF the pNty having reached the
furthest point North, it is false. !
was one one OF the seven who reached
Cape May. There we found the
records OF the English that it was the
futthest point reached. / know that
Lockwood and Brsinerd went further.
Their observations at the highest
point reached by them we're
reduced by Edward Israel,
astronomer OF the party,
and who was educated at Harvard and
Berlin, and l don't see how there
would be any mistake about it. As to
the mutilated bodies, he knows Just as
much as any OF us. He says he was
unconscious and didn't know anything
about it. 1 know that he was uncon-
scious for only about three hours be-
fore the rescue. l don't believe that
any of the survivors knew who made
the mutilations, unless 1t was one who
used the flesh for shrimp bait"
"What do you consider the motive
Of Councils statementW
~ suppose il Is jealousy. He had
uniLiendly words with Greelyson one
or two occasions. 10 1882 Connell was
promoted to the rank Of sergeant. On
the way back to Cape Sabine he made
some threats against Greedy, and for
doing 10 WAS reduced to the rank Of
private. This, OF course, made him
mad. He was always a sort OF OBJ
structionist."

Joseph Uhl Speaks His

The apathy which naturally followed
the adjournment of the great Demo-
cratic Convention, the crisis as it was
of long sustained political excitement,
is rapidly wearing away, and the
ominous rumblings of the rapidly APP
proaching battle can already be heard.
Underneath the apparently smooth
surface Of the polit cal stream there is
a deep and powerful determination to
conquer, and the dam which will burst
on the morning of the 9Th of August
will release a torrent none the less
powerful because of its long constraint.
Disafections exist, but they are
trifiDg, the great body OF the
party being more determined
than ever before. The inherent
strength Of the ticket, the number of
the offices TO be filed and the length
of time for which men are to be chosen
to administer public affairs, coupled
with realization on the part OF every
man that upon him rests portion Of
the responsibility and above all the fear
that through Indifference, weak or bad
men will be lifted iuto public places
all these reasons combine to make the
coming contest one Of grave import
ance to every citizen.

Guilty Of EmbezzIemcnt.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Col. w. II. Boil
ton, chief OF the division for handling
second class matter at the Chicago
postoflice, was arrested shortly after
noon today, charged with embezzle-
ment OF public funds by means of
false returns. The postoflice nspec-
tor claims TO have traced a shortage Of
$4,000 from November, 1884, TO No
vember, 1885, and intimstes that the
total shortage will be from $4,000 TO
100000.
John I. Stewart, the weieher, was
also arrested. The inspectors say they
have found that the Chicago Daily
MelOS company paid him nearly $1,000
more from November, 1884, to Novem-
Der, 1885, than was turned over to the
government. They also allege that
during the same period the Western
NelOs company paid him about $4,000
more than he returned TO Washing
ton. They have still to inspect the
accounts OF all the other newspapers
which had papers mailed there during
Col. Bottoms incumbency. Col. Bolton
was appointed by Postmaster Palmer
in 1877. The arrest OF these two 10
very likely to be followed by more, as
the inspectors have discovered a pri-
vate memoranda belonging to Col,
Bolton, which they claim duplicates q
number OF Federal officials, and even
private citizens. The inspectors cay
that the facts which will quickly be
brought to light will produce a sensa-
ton which will astonish the country
as we'll as the city.
