OF THE JIKAI. BBTATK SCVNDALS.
New ontc, July 38 The Sun to
day says editorially: Is the President
nwnro of the line of defense adopted by
lits friends with regard to the Whlto
House scandals, the real estate trans
actions at Capo May Point, nt Olon
Echo and who knows whoro besides?
Tlio last word that has been said or
that can be said In General Harrison's
behalf Is that ho, a truly honorablo
man with n keen eenso of olllclal pro
priety and personal dignity, Is tho Inno
cent victim of wicked partners In tho
Whlto House.
This plea for General Harrison would
be comical In tho extreme if tho busi
ness wcro less serious for the nation that
Is humiliated before tho world by any
exhibition of greed and moral obtuse
iicss on the part of Its Chief Magistrate.
It is said. In substance, that the Presi
dent saw clearly from tho first tho Im
propriety of tho Cape May Point trans
actions, and always intended to pay for
the sift cottage, and that. In fact, he
has 'finally paid $10,000 to extricate
himself from tho fatso position Into
which ho was forced by the mercenary
cn-'crncss t f n less scrupulous person, a
member of lib own family.
It Is MM. also, In substance, that
General Harrison Is not personally con
cerned In the Glen Echo business; that
the affair was arranged without hU
knowledge and approval; that his keen
scree of olllclal propriety would have
Impelled 1)1 in to put n stop to this In
direct tale of olllclal Influence, If he had
suspected what was on foot.
In other words, both of the While
IIouso real estate speculations that have
already como to public knowledge were
tho enterprises, not of Benjamin Har
rison, who Is the soul of honor and the
Incarnation of delicate sentiments, but
of his wlckod partners In the White
House
At whose expense Is It that this
theory of the Mandrils seeks to uciult
tho President? Who are the wicked
partners that havo brought upon Mm
unmerited discredit anil undeserved
rebukes v Ills private recretary, hi
typewriter, his venerable father-In law,
his sister la law, his daughter and his
own wife.
Surely Benjamin Harrison is not re
sponsible for the III judged line of de
fense and explanation adopted by some
of his super-serviceable friends. He Is
not such a moral coward and crawler as

Senator to rewl the menettre carefully
and to give the committee the benefit ot
his beet judgement tn to any changes
which ought to be rrmde in Its language
or provisions Messrs. Hour ami
Spooner expect to receive replies to-day,
and the measure will be submitted to a
cartcus very wo, perhaps to night.
It turns out that the majority of the
Elections Committee have done some
thing more than smooth down the
phraseology of the House bill. One of
the most Important provisions of the
Lodge bill was that bringing Into life
the old law authoring the employment
ol troops at the mils. This has been
cut out, and It Is not likely that the
caucus will Instruct Mr. Hoar to put It
back. The opposition to the "bayonet
clause" has proved too slrong for the
committee. It U understood that the
House bill has been so changed as to
allow Ctrcutt Court Judges to use their
own discretion about ncceptlng super
vltors of election named by the chief
supervisors, so that the Judges may ap
point others If they think It advisable.
The Senate committee alo provides that
no person who has jot' in petitioning
for the proposed su" islon of nn elec
tion shall be appol .ed n supervisor.
Another Important change, It Is said,
Is an amendment by which an appeal
may be taken from the decision of a
Roaul of Supervisors to a Circuit Court
Judge. The latter s decision Is to be
final, and if any person presents a cer
tificate of election signed by n Circuit
Court Judgo his name must go upon
tho roll of tho House of Representatives
and stay there until tho Houso Itself
take It off. Messrs. Spoon er and Hoar
navo applied ine smoothing down pro
cess to tho provisions relatlvo to tho
verification of registry lists In small
cltlos so as to make them apparently less
objectionable. They have doDe" tho
same to the various penalty clauses, the
penalties In some cases being scaled
down and made less sevore than In the
House bill.
That the bill will be accopted by the
caucus in just Its present shape Is not at
nil cettaln. It Is not satisfactory In all
Its parts to all of the Republican mem
bers of the Elections Committee. Some
of them havo reserved the right to offer
amendments horeaftcr, although they
join In submitting the measure to their
party colleagues. It remains to bo seen
how far their work will commend Itself
to the caucus. It will be much easier
to satisfy tho caucui as to tho terms of
the bill thau to find forty three Kepub
Means who will bind themselves to force
through the Benatu any bill the caucus
may indorse. That is the (tumbling
block In the way of the Force bill.

"One of the most dengeroui pro
visions of the Federal Election law Is
the possibility of tho appearance once
m ore of the United States troops at the
polls, which may be put under the
marching orders of any United States
tnarsball or official," said Representa
tive Mutchier of Pennsvlvanlt to a re
porter yesterday. "It is a curious thing
that the very law which was enacted by
a Republican Congress In the beat of
war limes to put a stop to the outrages
against the elective franchise com
mitted by United Slates troops In the
border States should furnish the first
pretext for the exercise of that power.
Rut so ll Is.
"The act In question was designed to
restrict the use of troops. It has, how
ever, been prostituted to partisan pur
poses so as to destroy the very object
tor which It was enacted, awl the little
clause, 'to keep the peace at the polls,'
has served as a pretext for numerous In
fluences with btate and Federal elec
tions which were so frequent until the
change of policy Inaugurated by the
Hayes administration."
"The use of United States troorn at
the polls on election day has not been
confined to the South, as some people
suppose to be the case. They were
used in Pennsv Ivanla at a State election
la 1870. without the request of the
State or municipal authorities
"An armed body of United Stales
marines was brought to the poll In the
Fifth ward of Philadelphia, took pos
session of them, kept thew closed for
an hour, and exeieised the right of
challenging voters. General John W.
Geary, a distinguished Republican, who
was Governor at the time, protected
against this high hauled outrage, and,
in a message to the State Legbuature,
denounced it in vigorous language.
"The oceurrance cited in Pennsyl
vania was at an election for Stale of
ficials. A more dangerous attempt was
made in November, 1670, in New York
under the provisions of an act which it
is now proposed to revive, only in a
more dangerous form, to overawe voters
and Stale odkials, and but for the firm
ness ul Governor Hoffman and the
yielding of the President to milder
counsels on the evening before the elec
tion, scenes of riot ami of bloodshed
and conflict between State and Federal
troops might have occurred that would
have startled the country."

Camp Washington, FonT Wasiiiso
toX, July 23. This old fort, the pres
ent encampment of the National Guard
of the District, nevor had so many peo
ple within lis confines as It had nearly
nil day yraterday. The camp was fairly
besieged by visitors from early In the
morning when tho first boat came down
until the last boat in the aftornoon
crowded and picked, and which had
left hundreds of persons In Washington
on account of Inci; of accommodations
discharged Its cargo. The visitors took
the camp by storm, those who dtd not

easily and speedily made them, more
especially If they belonged to

Nearly 1,000 persons visited the camp
and not a soldier there but what was
made to feel that his relatives and

It was a great duy for Fort Washing

better expressed by the song one of them
Hitunpted to sing as the last boatload
of iNcursIonlsls was leaving to the ef
fect that "Every Dsy'll be Sunday Ily
and 11. "
The visitors spent the time In conver
sation and wandering about the camp
until the call sounded for
HKMIUOUS KXRHCISKS
at 1 o'clock. Tho tent which the Prea
ldeut occupied last Wednesday was put
up over the band stand In front of head
quarters, and from this Rev. Dr. W. II.
Piatt conducted the services. Grouped
around In a hollow square stood suohof
the soldiers as cared to attend the
service, and beyond them were many of
the visitors. Several hymns were sung
in concert, and an eloquent sermon from
the text "God is Love1' followed
The cavalry troops wont Into com
petition with the minister, however,
and had b far the largest congregation.
They went through a skirmish drill
and charged, recharged, and the volleys
of carbine and Hashing of sabre proved
a greater attraction than the trite and
oft heard words of the Goeel.
Hut the dress parade was what every
one bad come down to see. ami the

the call sounded and the men were soon
on their way to the parade gronds, look
ing neat and clean ami with their
musket barrels glistening In the sun
light aud banners waving. While the
men tiled onto the grounds the band
played Its most Inspiring selections and
the hundreds of visitors were burning
for points of advantage from which to
view tbe drill. The men went through
the evolutions like machines, while
every command that was given sounded
clear ami could be heard easily on every
part of the grounds. Tbe cavalry acted
as an escort to tbe men.
Finally the closing act of the dress
parsde came saluting the colors ami
as each of tne color-sergeants, carrying
the battalion flags, marched by threes
to the front of the brigade, and as they
wheeled Into rosliloa and unfurled the
colors, tbe evolution was

from tbe admiring spectators Then
the rvcall sounded, and as each eom

inarching salute the new movement in
tiMiuctd by General Ordway was pre
sented in all lis beauty. Platoon after
platoon passed at a present, each mov
ing like a well regulated piece of ma
chinery, and as the color bearers loined
in tbe ranks at the last with saga dying
stut and fuU in the summer hreese, it
was a sight to thrill tbe ordinary ob
server, and the applause was loud and
long continued.
After dress parade supper was served,
and as there was such a large number
of visitors in camp extra rations were
served so the soldier boys could gener
ously divide with their fair friends.

Tbe foot soldiers were more lucky,
for they were to return to Washington

breakfast served. Until 9 o'clock the
men busied themselves In pocking their

to strike tents was given and the city of

and everything was In readiness before

The men received dinner, the last

chief and property clerk at Police Head
quarters. When he first went In the

thing of a chaotic state. He had, how
ever, found soma records relating to the
case on trial. He had no report of tho
turning In of a watch. Other records,
ho said, could be found nt the First Pre

he could get his records.

was recalled by District Attorney Ilarel
ton. "While In the service did you re
ceive a watch ?" asked Mr. Harelton.
"I did not receive It," replied wit
ness. "It was left at my house. It was
a Swiss gold watch. I reported the
matter to Major llrock and Commis
sioner Morgan, who advised me to ad
verllte the watch, requesting the party
who left It to call and get It at my
house at 138 Eighth street southeast.
No one ever called to claim the watch,
and It was returned to me by Property
Clerk Donovan. I had received,
added tbe witness, "besides tho watch,
$100 for selling a house for John T.
Mitchell for 15.500 to the Night lodg
ing House, cigars, an umbrella ami two
bottles of champagne. I turned tho
watch, cigars and umbrella over to the
Property Clerk. I received the watch
some time between the years 1881 and
1S83."
On cross-examination by Mr. Claugh

to a party named Simmons, he had
heard that the watch came from a Mr.
Woodyard. but he heel never conversed
with Mr. Woodyard on the subject, he
did not know where Mr. Woodyard is
at tbe present time. Ills relations with
Lacy were pleasant; he was a first rate
man and had rendered him (witness)
some service.
Mr. Sylvester returned from Police
Headquarters with the projwrty record.
The first item read was 5 returned by

of silk hankercblefs that Major Dye
ordeied to be returned.
"Do you know anything about tbe
habits and character of Lieutenant Ar

This was objected to and witness re
tired. William J. Donovan, tbe predecessor
of Property Clerk Sylvester, was called.
He testified that be had been property
clerk at Police Headquarters from ItiTU
to 163. He corroborated Lieutenant
Arnold's statement of having turned In
tbe watch, but said he could not find
any record of it. The watch, he said,
must have been turned In between tbe

in whkh tbe watch had come, witness
said, was generally spoken of at Police
Headquarters. The matter was talked
of about one menth ago .
To Mr. Claughton witness said he had
been asked about the wateh by Lieu
tenant Arnold. He looked over the
books because his recollection was that
the return of the watch was on the see

A NEW STORY ABOUT 6RANT.
Slrn. l'tnilfj'Ur Arunt or lloir
Italy Wilier Snveil lll l.lfo.
Nkw Yohk, July 28 That Is a very
curious slory about General U. S. Grant
during his last lllnrss, which it told,
on the authority of Mm Grant, by Mra,
Klrhatd Crowley In her just pulHhhetl
book, "Kchnet from Niagara." Mm.
Crowley la the wife of the ex-Congreos-man
of that hnme, who was a candidate
for the l'nlted Slates Senate and a po
litical power In New York State In the
early v cars of the last decade. To day
he ami his wife livo In retirement at
Lock poll.
51r, Crowley, who Is a ltomin
Catholic, thus tells the story. "The
wife of General Grant once told mo
just lufore her husband's death that
she, though a I'rolcstant. could not re
slat carrj leg away with her a bottle of
the wattrs of Our lady's Spring, nt
Ltuidi. and when iheGcnrral had ono
of his most death like spells of weak
nera, and they feared ho might never
breathe again, she poured the sierr.-l
contents -f this vUl upon his head and
Invoked Heaven's n.crry on thl great
ard good man that he might be spired
a little longer to his country. She says
she did not claim the boon for her bus
band , as that might be too scl fish and per
sonal. but that his country might a llltlo
longer keep the leader who had saved
It. The prayer waa granted, and hi
lived to finish the story of hit life, so
dear to the people of America and such
a blessing to his fondly loved wife and
children."
