A New York journal Talhs About Fight
Jog the South.
New YORK, December 9th-The Hqil
and Express (Rep.), Colonel Shepard's s
paper, had another war editorial last
evening, entitled why the North Will
Fight" In it Colonel Shepard says: with
every disposition for peace, our former ex-
perience has shown us that the Southrons
can be compelled to do justice to all classes
of our fellow-citizens in no other
way than by war If war has got
to come, the quicker the better, and
let the North begin it. The safety of the
republic demands the full and free opera
ton of the fundamental principle on which
our Constitution is based, and that is the
right of the majority to rule"
The basis of the editorial is the statement
that already by the too great magnanimity
OF Northern sentiment the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution, which are all that the North
gained or saved from the wreck of treasure
and life, have been stealthily, persistentlv,
and now are openly. overturned, denounced
and defied. The spirit of Democracy is the
only one tolerated in the upper circles of
the South; and there is to-day Just as bitter,
compact and determined an aristocracy
dominant through the old slave States. and
as unrelenting, 6omineering. vindictive and
bloody an arislocracy as there was in 1861. u
The editorial concludes mo one would
deprecate war more than ourselves. and If
the South would prevent war it must
speedily wheel about, and by course of
justice and equity remove its necessity.''

Some Innocent Citizens Slain-Great

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REcoRD-uNIoS.l

BIRMINGHAM Ala }, December Sth.-New
developments to-day form strong chain
of circumstantial evidence against Hawes,
who is charged with numbering his wife
and daughter. This afternoon the dead
body of his former wife was found at the
bottom of the lake, weighted with stones
and railroad iron. Her head had been
crushed with an ak.
The woman's body was at first taken to
an undertaker's, but the crowd there was
so great that it was removed out of the
city.
When told of the find, Halves persisted
in his innocence. The Sheriff thought il
best TO remove him to Montgomery, and
asked if he would be willing to don a DO
liceman's uniform and go through the
streets. He decided that it was best to re-
main, rather than TO show his face. Thirty
officers heavily armed form q guard at the
jail.
The body of the younger child is missing.
In Hawes house blood stains were found in
almost every room. After they had been
found the house was left unguarded for a
few hours, and some one slipped in and
washed up the stains of blood.
Hawes says he sent his wife and Youngest
daughter 10 Atlanta on Saturday, and left
his other daughter, May Hawes, in charge

Contention For a Portfolio May Throw
California Out EntireIy


WASHINGTON, December 9th.-The men,
bsrs Of the California delegation in Con-
gress are naturally reluctant to express
themselves for or against any one of the
candidates who have been named for ap-
pointment as a member of General Harri-
sons Cabinet. The general impression
here is that Mr.. Swift's chances of receiy-
ing this honor are better than those OF any
of his competitors. Senator Jones. of Ne
vada is very favorably mentioned, but il is
believed that he would not accept posi-
ton if it was offered him. His position in
the Senate, to which it seems probable he
will be reelected two years hence, is con-
genial to his tastes. If there were posi-
bility that the Pacific coast should be given
the Secretaryship of the Treasury, Jones
would fill the position admirably. He is a
student of finance, and is thoroughly IA
miiiar with the problems which daily con-
front the administration of the Govern
ment's finances. 1t is not at all likely.
however, that General Harrison will 60
west of the Mississippi river to choose his
Secretary of the Treasury.
Fears are entertained that California may
lose position in the Cabinet by the bitter
ness of the contest between the rival candi-
dates for appointment, and four years ago
the California Democrats suffered severely
age at Cleveland's hands by reason OF the
inability of the local leaders to harmonic
their differences. A beggarly attorneyship
in the Interior Department a Register of
the Treasury and a Consul General were
given to the party for its vote. Oaly three
offices of importance outside of the State
was all that Cleveland bestowed upon the
Californians. He made Clarence Great
house United States Consul at Karagawa
Japan, but Greathouse was accused by his
enemies of almost every fault save larceny
and murder.
Major Rathbone, who was appointed
Consul at Paris, was said to have voted
for Blaine, ana to have broken his promise
10 appoint lie Breton Vice. Consul, and his
nomination was held up By Senator Nor
gan for long time before ITS confirmation
Zach Montgomery was abused for having
assailed the public school system of the
country, and il was asserted that Rose Grams
was more of an Ohioan than Californian
Cleveland was disgusted with the warfare
displayed on many occasions when Cali
fornla Democrat was named for office, and
it was believed that the important position
of Commissioner of the General Land
| Office was lost to California by the warfare
made upon every coast Democrat named
for the place.
II the Repu0Hcans OF the coast cannot
unite upon some man fit to represent that
section in the Cabinet the chances are that
it will not fare much better at Harrison s
hands than it has at Clevelands.
A Western Republican Representative,
who saw Harrison two weeks ago, informs
| your representative that the President
elect desired to put Californian in the
Cabinet, and that he spoke very favorably
of Mr. Swift.

man could endure"
" Did you think that they would get
you ?"
Yes, felt sure they would"

Where the Pope IIay Locate, Should He
Leave Rome.

LoNDoN, December 9th-The papers here
are giving good deal of space to the rumor
about the Pope's intention of leaving Rome
ior more congenial asylum. Originally
these reports dealt only with the contin-
gency of war between France and Italy. in
which case the departure of the Pope
would be political necessity. There is a
lot OF descriptive literature about the tinv
Alpine principality OF Lichtenstein. of
which Prince John is sovereign. This little
pocket State, with a population of 10000
and an army of fifty soldiers, is ruled by
middle-aged devotee. His recent offer of
the principality to the Pope as a refuge in
the event of war is believed to be favorably
regarded at the Vatican. But the Pope has
Just enjoined the Catholics of Italy to vote
at the coming election for Deputies instead

National Legislature.
WASHINGTON, December 9th.-The Sen
ate will be engaged this week in the dis
cussion of tariff. Il is hoped that sufficient
progress will be made on the bill to insure
its adoption before the holiday recess. The
pending question is the reduction of the
duties on structural iron and steel from /
cents per pound 10 $40 cents per pound.
1t was proposed by Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas, and Senator Harris has proposed a still
further reduction to 610 cents per pound
Senator Plumb's action Che being a Repub-
lican) has created some anxiety among the
iron manufacturers. Plumb is not the only
Republican from an agricultural State who
thinks there should be a substantial reduc-
ton in tariff duties all along the line, but
Senator Payne, of Ohio, Democrat, SAYS
he will oppose any reduction of duty on
structural iron or steel.
In the House tomorrow the roll Of
States will be called for the introduction of
bills and resolutions. This will be followed
by the committees. Business affecting the
interests of the District of Columbia will
then be IN order, unless otherwise agreed
upon by unanimous consent. The direct
tax bill will be in order for Tuesday and
Wednesday, on the latter day a vote being
taken, and the time of the House will be
consumed for the remainder of the week

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Reed Thinks the Republicans Will Have
Five Majority,

WAsHIYeToN December 9th.-Represent-
ative Reed, of Maine, is OF the opinion
that there will not be an extra session of
the Fifty-first Congress. He bases his opin-
ion upon the belief that the Republicans
will have a majority Of five in the next
House, and that immediate organization
will not be necessary to obtain control of
the machinery of legislation. If the ma
jority should be put down to one, or even
to three, and any slip should occur to de-
prive the Republicans of a full attendance
of their members when the Fifty first Con-
gress assemblies it would provoke serious
situation. If one of their men should die,
and the Democrats should elect the
Speaker, it is question whether the
Speaker could be unseated again if the Re-
publicans regained their majority. Fill
clustering would probably have to be re-
sorted to to prevent this happening until
the vacancy that might occur would be
filled.
