Why lie Voted for Lamar.

Senator Stamford, of California, has
written the following letter to n constituent
who asked his reasons for voting for the
confirmation Of Mr.. Lamar as Justice of
the United States Supreme Court:
Your letter asking my reasons for vot-
ing for Lamar received. / voted for him
because | considered him one of the best
men In the South for the place. He is, in
my judgment. a broad, liberal. minded
man, of a great deal of learning. He was
professor Of law In the University in Mis-.
sissippi. | think he is n thoroughly con.
vcrtcd unionist, and / do not think it wise
to reject any one on he ground alone that
they were engaged in the late rebellion.
think that we want to be one people, poi
cally and socially. Gen. Grant expressed
the idea when he said: Let us have peace. ;
'Lamar's loyalty and integrity to the
Union was passed upon most conclusivcly
when both houses of Congress provided
for the succession TO the Presidency and
made him an heir, only a few removes
from the Presidency. / am reluctant to
find myself not in harmony with all the
Republican Senators, but it was n case, so
far rs my action was concerned, entirely
for my w judgment and conscience, and
l voted accordingly"

was hollow and his left leg solid. He
used to imagine that he could feel his

it had been any other man would have
said that ho was crazy"
'Im the other man." responded Gen.
Belknap, who stood by, ''for / never

ing it run down inside my leg to my

"And l know q man." observed an
other, "who cannot take ever so much
as a glass of beor without feeling a

NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The New York Star gives the following
statement touching the Q Civil Service
rules:
"The new Civil Service rules seem to
meet with general appreciation. Those
who consider themselves the particular
champions of the new system express their
satisfaction with the specific penalties pro-
vidcd for violation of the laws regarding
In Government offices. But the execution
of these provisions will merely enforce
enactments that are already very specific,
and, in fact, the rules consist mainly of a
condensation Of the statutes. AS long as
these statutory provisions exist, their rigid
enforcement can cause no surprise.
practical men will welcome most of
the new matter in the revised rules. The
limitations of age are changed so rs to
abolish the absurd provision that prevented
persons over 40 years old from competing
for positions, while the age of eligibility
is raised to 26 years, in order that mere
s~choolboys may be no longer employed to
the exclusion of citizens of voting age.
The standard Of eligibility is raised from
60 per cent. to 70 for all except veteran
soldiers and sailors, and the veterans are
favored In many other ways in all compc.
titions. A most important and beneficial
change is the one conceding to appointing
officers the absolute right to reject nomi.
nces of the Civil Service Commission. Tho
former practice in this matter was of ques,
tionable constitutionality, and the return
to sound methods will go far to remove
the objections of friends of good govern
ment to Civil Service administration.
I'm the Post Office the age for letter car
riers is raised from 10 to 81 years as {
minimum, aud from 35 to 40 years for tn,
maximum; and for general employees th,
minimum is advanced from 16 to 18 years
and the 45-ycar barrier is abolished, as il
other departments. The list of officers ex
cmpted from Civil Service classification il
made definite, and is increased by the ad
dition of chief clerks and heads of di
visions; and in many other ways the ten
dcncy of the new departure is to rcndc
Civil Service reform more acceptable t
the people"

a Beautiful Girls Sad Fate.

BALTIMORE, February IA pitiful spec.
tacle was presented at the Southern police
station this morning when a patrolman led
in a beautiful girl, apparently not more than
Is years old, and so s~cantily clad that she
had been found nearly frozen to death
huddled in an unused ash cart in an alley.
From the wild stare in her black ewes and
her strange actions 1t was evident that she
was insane, Her black hair hung down her
back and the DRILLING rain on 1t had matted
it and frozen. Her scant calico dress was
covered with slcet and her feet were almost
bare. No one knew her. She did not al
pear to be a vagrant, but was likely a
stranger here.
AT times there was n CLEAN of intelli.
gence In her beautiful face and then she
would talk 10 those about her. Once she
said her name was Maggie and that her
husband was an army officer who had n
pension of $4,000 a year. It's not believed
that she is n married woman. The police
are trying to find her friends. She appears
to be refined. During her insane wander
lngs she frequently exclaimed, ooh, nv
brain, my brain, and putting her hand TO
her head seemed trying to force her mind
to respond to the questions asked as to her
identity.

Died for $500, o

New YoRK, February IA trial that is
attracting considerable attention is the suit
Of Frederick b. Smith against the National
Benefit Society. He claims n policy for
$4,000 on the life Of John Tyler. The
case is On trial in Brooklyn.
Tyler died in a hotel in South Norwalk,
Conn, in November, 1886. The insur
ance companies got their heads together
and discovered that they were stuck to
the amount Of $500, 600. They decided to
fight, and claimed that Tyler had entered
into n conspiracy with persons whom he
had persuaded TO insure his life to a large
amount for their benefit, with the intcn.
ton, In case he found he could not pay his
obligations to them in any other way, To
commit suicide and thus enable them to
realize on the insurance policies.
Tyler was found dead in n chair in his
hotel room, and the insurance companies
are trying to prove that he took poison.

The Negro Minister 80 Liberia.

The Hon. Charles III. j. Taylor, LID,
United States Minister and Consul General
to Liberia, Africa, whose salary Is So, 900
a year, has recently honorcd us with his
views on several points. He says: 81 am
opposed to a black mans being called col
ored. Black is the absence Of color. II
we are anything We are negroes. | am a
negro and don't wish any man to call me
colored. | was born a slave and com.
mcnced as a bootblack. l lived in Savan
nah eighteen years ago, though n native of
Alabama. | am only 81 years of age and
am the youngest diplomat In the service. |
wish to say that the negro has been moved
almost solely by emotion or passion, but
he will gradually learn better. Again, the
negro is naturally happy, and spends his
last i've cents as If he were "a millionaire.
l am afraid that the tendency with nv
race is to initiate the vices of whites and
shun their virtues. Tell the readers Of the
Rehgtous HerdM to treat the negro fairly
and throw him on his own resources. If
he cant hoe his own row and tote his own
skillet, let him go to the wall. Liberia is
the richest country l ever saw, but negroes
raised here cant live there. The failure
OF Liberia does not prove the negro inca.
pa6le OF self government. The best ne.
groes have not been sent there. There are
only 1915 voters in all Liberia, and 1888
of them hold Offices"
That Is what Mr.. Cleveland's minister TO
Liberia tells us, but he may be mistaken on
some points.-Richmond Reltgt0uS Herald.

THE nRUTAL WHITE OAPs.
A Man Who Went Against Their Wishes Is
Whipped Nearly to Death.

EVANSVILLE, IND, Feb. GA report
has reached this city of q dastardly
rage by White Caps, committed on FRIDAY
niSbt near Marengo, Howard county, Ina.
In that locality reside Thomas Williams
and wife, who were subjected last year 10
great indignitics, so it is said, at the hands
of the White Caps. At the time Williams
claimed to have recognized among his u.s.
~sailants a prominent young man, Thomas
Courtney, Jr., the son of one OF the lead
ing physicians of the county. lie lmme-
diatcly sought the arrest OF young Court
ney, who, fearing trouble, left for parts
unknown. Nothing further was heard OF
the young man, though 1t ~transpircs that
he had located with his father at Fort
Scott, Kansas, and a telegram from that
point Yesterday announced that he had
been arrested upon q requisition from the
Governor of Indiana and was back In
Crawford county. This news seemed to
have enragcd the friends of the young
leader and they determined to wrcaktthcir
vengeance on Williams, who was supposed
to have cncompassed the arrest Of Court
ncy.
Reports received state that they went to
his house last night at a late hour and de
manded admittance, which was refused,
when they broke down the door just as
Williams fired three shots into the crowd
from his revolver. 1t is not known If any
one was hurt, but it seemed to infuriato
the masked men, who proceeded to tic
Mrs. Williams to the bedstead and took
Williams into the yard, where he was
bound to a tree. They then told him that
they had come for his written and sworn
| statement generating Courtney from al
| participation in the crime charged against
him and that his refusal would result in
| his being put out of the way. Though
thus intimatcd, he refused to do 1t, and
their leader ordered that he should bt
logged until he agreed to sign the state
ment.
He was therefore stripped and boun(
closely to the tree, with his face turned
inward. The lash was applied vigorously
bringing the blood for some moments
| when the head of the poor man was no
| ticed to fall backward, and 1t was asccr
tanned that he had tainted. At that mo
mcnt the sound of approaching horscmcl
caused the miscrcants to decamp. vii
liams was cut down and the usual RENE
dies applied, but he failed to regain con
seriousness, and at last accounts was re
ported In a dying condition. The White
Caps made good their escape.
The wife states that during the parlc,
with her husband in the yard, and Will
she was fastened to the bed, one of tn,
misCrcants would have subjected her t
grosscr indignitics had he not been pre-
vented by a companion. The outrage j
said to have aroused that section of coun
try, where a very strong feeling has sprun!
up against the repeated crimes of tn
White Caps.
