his own status in the party, as
affected by his attitude on the
civil service question is concerned, it
NAV be said that he regards himself q
better Democrat then many of his critics.
The President is especially gratified at
the effect of his administration on the
happiness of the Southern people, both
black and while. He believes in making
no distinction between any of the sections,
and he deprecates strongly the revival
of animosities which were supposed to
be dead and buried. He is satisfied that
the race problem can be worked out by
the people of that section without out
side interference. He speaks in terms OF
grateful appreciation of the hearty and
united support accorded him by the
mem bers of his cabinet"
The article concludes as follows: "In
view of the jobbery and scheming that
permeated every department of the pub
lie service under former regimes, and
which seemed to have become perman
ent feature of official life in Washington,
no more honorable epitaph could be ap.
piled to the administration now drawing
to close than the emphatic declaration
of the President to the writer. I'VE

A COLOMED CONFERENCE.
Hint to Harrison ON One Prtnci.
ple of Cabinet.NI Iaking.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 14.-An i'm
portant conference of colored men was
held here to-day. 1t gathered at the in
stance of Professor j. M. Langston.
Seven States were represented by the
delegates present, South Carolina, Vir-
pinia, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Florida and Missouri, and letters were
read from other Southern States. The
conference was held with closed doors,
and an address to General Harrison was
formulated. In substance the address
saws that they are loyal to the Re-
publican party and reside in States which,
upon fair election, would give their
electoral vote to the Republican party
by large majority, but such
are the undue influences and frauds
brought to bear against the voters, that
the desires of the Republican masses are
constantly defeated. ''We cannot
doubt" says the address, "that you agree
with us that the Fifteenth Amendment
should be maintained with fairness and
vigor, and that you desire that such an
object shall be accomplished in the in.
terest of 1000, 900 of American citizens,
who to-day, in the South, are practically
disfranchised, and whose the cause we
represent and plead. In view of our
present and prospective condition under
your administration of the Government,
we are profoundly interested in the con-
stitution of your Cabinet, especially as
concerns the Attorney -Generalship. The
importance and absolute necessity for the
appointment to that position of a
man who, in addition to great learning
in the law, is free from undue feeling and
bias, becomes apparent in single mo-
,nent's reflection. Such being our
opinion, we heve ventured to bring it
formally and earnestly to your con-
sideration." !,
During the afternoon it was presented
to the General. It was supposed that
the conference would also oppose the ap-
pointment of General Malone to the
Cabinet, but nothing of the kind was
done.
The General had number of callers.
Among them were Dan. McCauley, SeiIor
H. F. Gusman, the Nicaraguan Minister
at Washington, and. Milton B. Butler,
who was President of the Electoral
College of Nebraska.
Another distinguished visitor at Gem
eral Harrison's to-day was Hon. Cassius
M. Clay, Minister to Russia, and sec
ond cousin to the famous orator. The
venerable gentleman lunched with Cen
eral Harrison and family, and passed an
hour or more in conversation. He said
to correspondents that his visit was en-
tirely social.
1t is being talked, in well-lnformed
circles here, that Senator Henry M.
Teller, of Colorado, is slated for the In
| terror Department. Information that
General Harrison has had Teller's name
under serious consideration for several
weeks comes from very reliable and
conservative source, and it is asserted
with considerable confidence, that the
tender has actually been made to Mr.
Teller.

THE STATE PRISONS.
Evidence of Jobs and Corruption
In Their Mana cement.


| SACRAMENTO, February 14.-The AS
sembly was occupied almost all to-day in
discussing the proposition as to whether
or not the State Prisons shall be investi-
gated. A resolution was adopted, yester-
day, calling for an investigation, but to-
day Ewing, of San Francisco, moved a
reconsideration of the vote by which the
committee was appointed. This brought
Storke, of Santa Barbara, to his
feet, and he declared that he was sorry
such motion had been made, as it COM
PEELED him to make public certain mat
ters which proved, at least, that the
State prisons have been managed in q
most disgraceful manner. He then took
from his desk, and proceeded to read,
large number Of letters alleged
to have been written by Warden
John McComb to Captain Ben Chambers.
Storke was interrupted frequently on
points of order, but the Speaker ruled he
was in order, and the reading of the let
ters was completed. They created a
have been written by McComb, is as
follows:
May 7, 1888. - Get Scrivner to look
as to prevent any sorehead director from
making any unfriendly inquiries in pres
ence of the reporters. You can say to
him that | have given orders to curtail
the expenditures to the lowest possible
figure, until we see what the bag
market will do for us and for the remain.
ing two years SO as to have our finances
in good shape. Still that should not be
discussed before the newspaper men who
are hungry for material to weave. into
couple of columns. You want to give
Luttrell hint on this also. Sonn-
tag won't ask foolish questions
any more. If Luttrell is not
dead set on introducing that resolution
about prosecuting whisky-sellers, l
would rather not have it talked of at all.
You can show him that the law makes
every person amenable who offers Wis
itor a glass of wine. Even Parson
Hill could be prosecuted for in
viting the Bishop to revive his
strength by taking glass Of
communion wine. Tell him the high
license people may take up the matter,
and we can safely leave it with them,
but think the law is unconstitutional.
Any way, it will be repealed at the next
I6gl6latur6.
