Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WASHINGTON, Nov H. There was an
interesting conference held this morning
at Chambcrlain's IL was very secret and
great precautions were made against in
tcruptions. There were only three par
Elephants, but these three have Won for
themselves wide notorcty as political
schemors of the first order. They werc
Senator Quay, ex-senator Malone and
Col, Dudley, and the object OF their con-
spiracy was the gaining Of tho
electoral votes OF two States These
three gentlemen propose 10 show, IL political
schcming, wirc-pulling or money can do
it, that Virginia and West Virginia went
Republican in the recent election. Ex-
Senator Malone was the means OF bring
ing about the conference. lie IL PLAYING
for high stakes, aud Il he can have the Re-
publican electors in Virginia declared
elected, he will once more be in position
of power and enabled To crafty his per-
sonal ambitions In the statement which
he made this morning 30 his two not over
scrupulous auditors Mr.. Malone declared
that II could bc shown that not only
had tho Republicans carried Virginia
and West Virginia, but had also secured
more Congressman than they were credited
with lie had n good deal TO say about tho
Democrats stealing the States from them,
Whcrcat Il is reasonable To suppose that
Col. Dudley and Senator Quay smiled and

The President Not Sick.

WASHINGTON, Now l2.-Dr. OReilly,
the Presidents physician, called at the
White House this morning on matter OF
business with Col. Lamont. As he en-.
tered the building he was recognized by n
number Of clerks, and a rumor that the
President was sick obtained wide circula.
ton in short time. That there WIS no
truth whatever in the report il shown by
the fact that the President WIS at his desk
as usual all the forenoon and that he held
his usual public reception in the after
noon. Col. Lamont, in speaking OF the
report, said DIR. O'Rcilly came merely to
see him and that there WIS no one in the
house at all in need Of the services Of n
physician.

which today, through Justice Miller, re-
ycrsed the decision Of the lower court in a
long and elaborate opinion. Justice Miller
first took up the plea of multiiariousncss
urged by the Bell Company, and said that
il could not hold good, that the suit
brought by the United States, although it
sought 10 cancel two patents issued a year
| apart, really related TO the same subject.
Asto the liell Company scontcntions that
the United States could not bring, and that
no Circuit Court could entertain suit TO
| cancel patent brought in the name of
the government no matter whether fraud
had been committed or not, Justice Miller
said there was no question that an inll-
vidu0l had a right TO judicially seek re-
dress Tor wrong committed against him,
and yet il was conteudcd that the United
States, the representative OF sixty million
OF people, could do nothing in their be-
half. Justice Miller said further that such
4 state of things would bo q great anomaly
in system of government like ours. The
patent system, hc said, was derived from
the same clause in the Constitution ~
that relating TO public lands. The Gov
eminent, although no express statute had
been enacted, II had repeatedly been held
had that right 20 set aside land patents
obtained by fraud, and the same thing WIS
true Of patents for inventions. The con-
tention that the Government should not
take action because u remedy existed with
private parties, he said did not hold good.
One person might bring suit against the
holder of a patent and obtain Judgment in
that peculiar casc, and yet other parties
who subsequently brought suit would be
unable TO bring proof, The Government
alone had the power 10 bring suit which
would finally settle the whole matter.

GRRESvILLE, Miss, Nov. l2.-Sam
Jones's revival, commenced Sunday, is
drawing large crowds from the country

In his service this afternoon Sam Jones
took the opportunity OF personally attack
ing the Jewish rabbi, DIR. Joseph Bogen.
The insult was couched in the course and
vulgar language in which Mr.. Jones is
wont 10 indulge. The APFEAL correspond

when the latter, who had only Just heard
Of the matter, said: "I laughed heartily

The Legend of the Water Lily.

To whom the water lily is dear the little
legend that belongs to it will prove interest
ing. Long years ago, before any Of US were
living, lonely star glowed brightly in the
sky. Her face was shining with strange,
brilliant beauty, but in her breast her heart
was cold and desolate, with its constant sigh
ing for love and the conpanionship of some
warm heart. In the great dark forests the
dusky red mems children were at play every
evening, and watching their happy moods the
star would sigh more deeply and become pos
sessed of a greater yearning tor love. So one
night she dropped from the sky and rested
upon a tree to be more near the little child
rem. They did not notice her, however, but
continued rowing on the river, little guess
ing the misery of the lonely watcher. II
will go right to them" the star said, piteous-
ly, and so she fell to the boat AS she did
so the boat shot out into tue stream and the
star fell with a crash upon the waves, broken
into thousand pieces. Every wave caught
upon its crest scintillating beam and each
became water lilly. At last the star had
affection, for who does not love this perfect
flower?
