The South Carolina carpet-baggers
here are elated over the refusal of the

they want. It is believed here that

The Popular Science Monthly asserts
that the Florida cockroach is new to
American science. It says: " It is
somewhat remarkable that in certain
arts of Florida living is made almost
possible from the preseace, in amaz

whom (loneral (iines had not b10oon
mnarrled more than two years. HoSi had
ronatiur for eotno years a widlow, after
the death of her flrst husband, who may
be said to have offered up his lifo in the
defense of her claiH s to recognition ai
the legitimato daughter and heir of ia
notable individual who played so con
spicuous a part in the early history of
our city and State. This personago was
Daniel Clark, a high-spirited, onterpl is
ing, dashing Irishman, who had
achieved a large fortune and great
prominence in the affairs of this terri
tory, previous to the war of 1814. Edu
cated in ignorance of her origin and
parentage, the lady in question never
discovered any trace of her lineage
until she had married Mr. Whitney, her
first husband. He entered zealously
with her on the prosecution of her
claims, and thereby became involved in
many difficulties and vexatious suits.
Finally he died of yellow fever, and
some years afterwards the widow mar
ried that distinguished soldier Gen.
Edmund P. Gaines. In forming this
alliance the gallant veteran assumed, as
one of the most sacred duties of his
life, to devote all his energies and means
to the maintenance of the claims of his
wife and the vindication of the honor
and character of her father, who had
been his intimate friend.
It was in the discharge of this obliga
tion Gen. Gaines now appeared in court
to support his wife in the prosecution
of her case. The lawyers retained for
her had been involved in a quarrel with
the judge and had retired from the
court. Left alone without attorneys,
with some of the most distinguished
members of the bar opposed to her,
Gen. Gaines asked that the court would
allow the lady to conduct her own case,
Some altercation ensued between the
judge and G(en. and Mrs. Gaines.
The judge objected to the tone and
style of the lady, and reminded (Gen.
Gaines that he would be held responsi
ble for Ier acts and language.
TI ereupon the veteran, rlaing to his
fill heilght, Rnvwod hle personal re
sponsibility for overything the lady
might utter, in any manner and
form, In which n gentleman could
rospond to iuih demand. 'lThen

IN. Y. Tribune.
Once more the Mass.achusetts House
of Representatives has re-enacted the
Prohibitory law, pure and simple, fines,
Imp)risonments seizure clauses and all.
It is supposed that the Senato will
agree with the House, and then to veto
or not to veto will be the question with
Gov. Rice, with not to veto in the ascen
dant. Already the Democrats are
eagerly anticipating their opportunity.
No wonder they are sanguine in their
anticipations, considering that they
have already carried the State against
fearful odds half a dozen times on the
same issue. The history of legislation
upon this subject if it could be faith
fully written, would be both entertain
ing and instructive.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-To illustrate
the feeling of those within the party
who propose to make Hayes eat his leek,
those in opposition to the Southern
policy are having prepared some of the
arguments made before the Electoral
Commission for general dissemination.
To-day the walls were plastared with a
flaming poster, giving a quotation from
the argument of Evarts in the Louisiana
case. Turn most any way you will and
the eye is confronted twith a conspic

conspicuous.

The Impression prevails here in rofl

and Ithat now seemrrs inevitable to rmne.
I believe all the great powers will l.b di

in which the fieldl fights will con ,inly

If the war is brought about, Gen. biher

many passengers. The Richmond took
200,000 pounds of fresh beef ; the Cali

and live stock to Europe are increasing

The New York Liquor Dealers in Trouble.
[Cincinnati Commercial, April 14.]
The liquor dealers of the city are in
great distress by reason of a decision of
the Court of Appeals that none but
hotel and inn-keepers can, under the

State's prison. On Monday all the
great brewers and dealers of the State
will visit Albany to secure legislative
relief.

WVAsfltiTOo, Aiprl I13. An animated

rmonth.s regardIrig the proposed rert.oval
or the n',,na Indrians from their reser
vation on the Miss.ouri river, in North
western Nobraska, to the Indian Terrl
tory. The last Congress aIppropriat~ed
$40,tX)0 for the purpose of effecting this
removal and establlshing the Poncas
about seven hundred and fifty in num
her- upon a new reservation In the In
dian Territory, provided they should
consent to the removal.
The Nebraska settlers and several
missionaries at the neighboring Santee
agency have strenuously opposed the
removal of the Poncas, apprehending
that their departure from the reserva
tion will result in Its speedy occupancy
by the Sioux, who are not regarded as
desirable neighbors. It has also been
alleged that the consent of the Poncas
was given under a misunderstanding,
etc., but after full investigation of the
subject the Department has finally de
cided to press the removal, and at last
advices nearly all the Indians were ex
pected to start southward in a few days.

SALT LAKE, April 15.-A mass meeting
of non-Mormons was held at the Liberal
Institute in this city to-day. A resolu
tion was offered by Gen. Nathan Kim
ball to amend the organic act of the
Territory to read as follows:
That all male inhabitants, twenty-one
years of age citizens of the United
States, shall be entitled to vote and be
eligible for office; provided, however,
that no person living in the practice of
bigamy or polygamy shall be per
mitted to hold 'any office, or to vote at
any election, or to act as juror, and that
all votes shall be by secret ballot; that
all laws in conflict herewith be repealed.
The resolution was unanimonesly
adopted by the meeting, and referred to
the Committee on Resolutions and Me
morial to Congress.
Resolutions were adopted, among
others, at the non-Mormon mass meet
ing in this city to-night, that bigamy

C, :nIINATI, April 12.--What Is known
wa' the Murphy terlperanrt movement
is passing over Central Ohio and In
dianlltr like a t.idai.wstve. It, i notloedalI
3n rur1ou1 faet that in i,hosn towns and
villages where the famous woman's e-ra
sidtel of three years ago hal the great et
sufc:ess the number of saloons has li
,reased. and drunkenness has been more
cvomtnon than before. The plan of opelr
ti.tlon awoiptpdl by Murphy's followers
is simple. Nightly meetings are begun
in eacah town, generally by one of two
t persons from Plttsburg, or some point
where the revival has already gained
headway. A thorough movement to so
cure pledges ls then Inaugurated, the
" signers wearing badges of blue or red
rlbbons. In several cities of the size of
Mansfield, Troy, Xenia, Urbana, etc.,
nearly the entire romae population have
become Interested In the movement and
hundreds of signatures to the pledge
are added daily. The reformers in
ny cases visit the saloons, but at
,t no direct interference with the
nor seller's business.

The pror,poted am'endrrent to the8tate

l,,egi.,ltur , by the Munliip.l Reform
(rn.rrialon, p,rrvlrllng that the Board
of Finanerr, uggeted for every~oity
shall, in clties of more than 100,000 In
habitants, be chosen by electors who
for two years preceding the election
have paid an annual tax on property
owned by them of an assessed value of
not less than $500, or have actually paid
during the same period a yearly rent of
not less than $250 for premises ocupled
by them for a residence or a lawful btl
ness, is exciting adeal of lnterestnamong
people of all elasses in this city.
The registry made last fall showed
that there were 183,000 quallfled voters
In this city. It la safe to put the uam
ber of electors at the time this ameul
ment becomes a part of the constitution
at 190,000. Now, the books in th Tax
Department show that the nubm of
taxpayers on real estate is about ,. ,.
As 12,000 of these are non-residents ad
women, the taxpaying voters number
about 38,000. It is, of course, tmpio r
sible to tell the number of men in t ts
city who pay an annual rent of $250. It
is safe to put it at 60,000. That added
to the number of taxpayers makes the
number of persons who would under
this amendment be eligible to vote for ,
financial oficers 98,000. On this basei
of computation 92,000 otherwise qua.Il
fled electors would be prevented from
voting for the proposed Board of Ia
ance. Other gentlemen, well qualted :
to judge, agree with me as to the .m
ber of persons who will be dlsfran.n
chised under the amendment."
