iARY CARLISLE FOR THE BENCH

Washington, D. C., Nov. 13.-(Special Correspondence.)- )-Don Celso Caesar Mo reno, an olve-complexioned progeny of sunny Italy, has been sentenced to ninety days in jail for criminally llbelling Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador. Last No- vember Moreno published in the Colored American, a newspaper published here, an article charging that Baron Fava had been corruptly connected with the infam- ous Pradoni system and had been finan- cially benefited by the continuance of such system of slavery in this country. The article also charged that the baron had conspired with various Italian consuls to this country to perpetuate such system while pretending to be doing all in his power to destroy the system. These charges were utterly false and without a shadow of a foundation. Baron Fava presented the mater to the secretary of state, who immediately instituted pro- ceedings against Moreno, with the result as stated above. This is the first time in the history of our country that person has been charged with criminally libel- ling the diplomatic representative of friendly power, and the lesson will be wholesome one.
 Your correspondent has given the above facts, as the predicament of Moreno has | pIOuBHL u HIS IIiiIlQ iOW uc6l d CcAluih correspondent for 8 leading paper in Ala bama came to allowing himself to be duped by the oily Italian-American dur ing the last session of congress It was about the time that the legislature in Ala bama was preparing to hold caucus to nominate senator to succeedA Gen. John T. Morgan. At that time the newspaper in question was publishing double leaded editorials denouncing Alabama's favor ite son in the vain endeavor to elect some tool of its own in his stead.
 Don Celso sent for the Alabama corre- spondent to lay before him some absurd charges as to Senator Morgan's conneo- ton with Hawaii. It seems that Senator Morgan, by virtue of his position as chair man of the committee on foreign af1alrs of the senate, had been often harassed by visits from the willy Don, and had in some manner given offense to that gen. tleman Whether the correspondent saw Moreno and after listening to his tale or woe failed to use his story or whether wiser heads in the editorial rooms of the paper deemd 1t the part of prudence to blue pencil it or not your correspondent does not know; however, the story never came to light That 1t was fabrication born in the fertile brain of the Italian there is no doubt whatever, and that he has met his just deserts in being com pelled to spend three months in jail Is the verdict of all.
 Carlisle for the Bench.
 The result or the recent eieCtlOu itl ASh- lucky has given rise to the rumor that the president Is to appoint Secretary Car lisle to the vacancy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Justice Jackson. It is argued that Carlisle has nothing to hope for in the way of political prefer- ment from his native state; that had de- mocracy won the programme was to elect him to the senate, but now 1t is stated that he could not get even the delegation from Kentucky to the national democrat ic convention, and MT. Cleveland, for whom all has been sacrificed, Is said to be not unmindful of the obligation. Should the appointment be made Charles S. Fairchild, the mugwump ex-secretary. would refuse the portfolio. Carlisle has not been persona grata to Wall street. with all his change of front, but Fairchild would be very acceptable to the street.
 This talk of Carlisle for the supreme bench coming after the recent election shows conclusively why the legislature of Kentucky will stand on joint ballot tie. with the populists holding the bal ance of power. The word twas saunt" that in every county where free silver candidates had been nominated by the democracy that they were to be knifed and the republican elected. The silver men, loyal always. walked up to the polls and voted for the nominees of democracy in every instance whether the candidate was for silver or gold. The hope of the gold fellows was that enough silver men would be defeated to give them the ma jority in the party caucus but they "builded better than they knew" and enough silver candidates for the legisla- tture were defeated to make the joint bal lot tie, with the populists holding the balance of power. That the republicans will elect the next senator seems uore than probable. They have a good ma- jority in the lower branch of the jegis- lature and with the Fifty first consr ress as an example 1t won't take them long fe unseat two democrats and put two repuh iioans in their placea
