play of South Carolina and the Ku klux

greater interest in Washington and

southern side of the question OF white

the medium of Mr.. DixOn's work, In
which the operations of the Ku klux to
save the South from negro and carpet

with young leader of the Khan ard a

GRAFT but fnr all that he hes been for
MANY wears striving to become post
master in his home town. -Four years ago
he was a candidate, and it was thought
that ne would land the job. But he was
unsuccessful. This time he entered the
race again, the term of the present post
master at Alexandra expiring next
month. For the past two months Mr..
Washington has been using his influence
with the President in the hope OF land
ing tie appointment, and it was be-
lieyed that he had the placs cinched,
especially in view of the fact that he was
the father of Is children, and directly
in sympathy with the Presidents anti
race-suicide doctrine. Besides this he
had other backing. But IN "Wednesday

Arrest of q Suspect.

f.. f.. Graham. q resident OF Fairfax
county was taken into custody last night
by Officers Belts and Beach at the direc-
ton of Chief Webster, Ostenslbly
as suspicious character, but under the
supposition that he could throw light
upon the Curtin murder mystery. IL
was learned that he had disposed OF
lamp which showed evidence of blood
having fallen upon it, and it was alleged
that Graham while talking on north Lee
street had said that the authorities had
arrested innocent persons on suspicion
of being parties to the murder and that
ne was close by when Curtin was killed.
Officer Roberts later procured the
lamp, and there was reason 10
suppose developments would follow.
When the case was examined, however,
il was shown that the lamp belonged TO
another Fairfaxan named Dodson and
that while opening barrel OF cabbage one
night recently he had cut his hand and
blood had fallen upon the lamp. Ora
ham did not deny having said that he was
close by when Curtin was killed. but that
he was testing. Justice Cation this
morning committed him to Jail for ~
days as suspicious character. The
suspect wa,, it is said, in Alexandria at
the time the murder was comnitted.
Yesterday William Ward, an en-
ployee in the street cleaning department
of the city, while removing the contents
of a barrel of ashes at the Tontine
Hotel. on Cameron street, found
pair of pantaloous. A clasp knife was
in one of the pockets. Officer Knight,
upon learning of the find, sought Ward
and took pc, session of the trousers and
knife. No one has so far been able to
tell who discarded the psntaloons or who
owned the knife.
The above incidents were retailed IRON
mouth to mouth in an enlarged form las
night and today, but it is generally sup
posed that they will prove to be 'wster
hauls."

A Disgusting Scene.

A gentleman of this city while walk
ing along the northern shore OF Hunting
creek yesterday witnessed a scene akin
to some said to be common around the
river front at Caution, China. Two
women, in an almost helpless state OF
iptoxication, staggered from an ark in
which they had been entertained by some
men, and were unable to proceed to their
homes. The gentleman whose attention
was called to the above approached one
of the men and demonstrated against
the women being sent away in such a
condition, aud they were allowed to re-
enter the ark and sleep off their debauch.
