SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A LADY
Mrs Sarah II. King, wife Of the chief of the
Miscellaneous Division of the Commissary
Generals Office ia Washington, has been
placed under arrest, charged by merchant
named Henderson with the larceny ofgoods
from his store. A day or so ago, Mrs. King
entered store and went up to the counter
and stood alongside OF another lady. The
latter very careiessly laid her pocketbook
down on the counter, and gave heratlention
to the clerk in the examination OF some
goods. Mrs King was detected by an en-
ploye abstracting about ninety dollars from
the pocketbook, and immediately thereafter
a scene took place. Later the detectives
became acquainted with the fact that this
lady had been detected in the act OF taking
goods from several stores, and they felt sure
that she must be the party complained of,
aud officers armed with a search warrant,
went to Mrs Kings residence, which Is in
fashionable section Of the city. and there
they discovered large amount Of valuable
property, which, on being taken to police
headquarters, was identified by several mer.
chants as their property. Two silk hand
kerchiefs, valued at ten dollars apiece. We're
found, also expensive embroidery and lot
of goods for female use were recovered. GA
investigation, it was found that the lady was
"keptomaniac," sad that this fact was
known to some OF the business mon, who
were in the habit of watching her when she
came iotO the store. Whatever she took
they sent bill! for to her husband. She was
released on $500 bail to appear for hearing
next Saturday. She is very intelligent
woman, forty five years OF age, has two very
pretty daughters and hosts of friends, who
regret the exposure OF her acts, and are also
sorry for her husband.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch OIL the subject
of the tariff, says "Lst us remember, first
of all, that ours is the party of the Constiiu-
ton and govern ourselves accordingly"
But even Mr.. Randall is on record as saying
that tariff imposed solely for protection is
unconstitutional II the existing tariff is
not impof cd solely f.r protection, black is
white and night is day. Il must, therefore,
be unconstitutional, even according to the
especial favo,ite of the Dispatch. The
democratic party is the constitutional party
of the coantry. Its members must, there.
fore, be for a low or revenue, ard not for
nigh or protective tariff.

In HIS recent speech in the u. S. Senate
Mr.. Ingalls, aaid tbs large democratic major
ily in Louisiana at the recent election in
that State was in itself proof of the suppress
sion of The negro vote there. Mr.. Eustis in
his reply demonstrated the untrnthfuluess
of that statement, but added, in effect, that
even we're it otherwise, it would be Louisi-
ana's business, and that of nobody else. For
saying this some of the republican press are
denouncng the Louisiana Senator right and
left But, for all that, he is sustained not on
ly by the decision of the in famous electoral
commission in the case of his own State, but
more recently by several decisions of the
U S. Supreme Court, affirming the doctrine
of States lights in its broadcast acceptation.

SOME OF the ADMINISTRATORS NEST pro-
noupced Southern supporters find great
fault with Mr.. Ingalls, for going back to the
time about the beginning of the war for the
charges he brought against Mr.. VOORHEES,
in hi4ste speech in the U. s. Senate. That
speech was uuquestionably one of the most
sectional and malignant ever delivered in
the Seuate, and for the especial reason that
lis author did go back to war times for the
foundation Of most of his statements. But
how Inconsistent arc tho people referred to-,

ALEX NDRIA.'
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 7.

A LARGE portion of the Northern repuol''
can press endorse the viruent attack NIT.
Ipgalls recently made upon Mr.. Voorhees,
because the latter sympathzed with the
South before the war. But nothing Is better
known than the fact that many Northern
democrats who did as Mr.. Voorhees, did be-
fore the war, after the war commenced, and
when Maryland and Kentucky did not Sc,
cede. and when the result of the conflict
could be reasonably anticipated, suddenly
n,pped aud became the most rabid republic
cars in the North. oDuriDg the year pre-
celing the war nothing was more common
than TO hear Northern democrats, who aft
erwards became noted for their republican
ism and hatred for the South, proclaim from
the stump, and in the halls Of Congress, that
Northern soldiers would have to march over
their dead bodies before they could invade
tha South. The real objection the republic
cans have to Mr. Voorhees,, is not that he
was Southern sympathizar before the war,
but that he remains a democrat.

etc, and will tell you why. own TIM
Der land and sell stumpage; besides, 1
