” He ia a carpet-hareer,” says
.Senator Tillman, who. because
of his apeech in the Senate on
the subject, has been asked bv
a number of newspaper men if
he would oppose the confir
mation by tbe Senate. "I am
certainly opposed to bis confir
mation because of tbis as well
as because of the Mrs. Morris
incident. ’
Senator Blackburn said when
his attention was directed to
ward thia nomination. nI have
never been consul ted by the
President even in tbe case of tbe
appointment of a postmaster in
»y own town, whose duty it
“■a ®«eu to bundle my own mail
and I have never thought to In
terfere in any auch appoint
ment. Wheu Mr. Cleveland
was President I fought every
nomination he sent to tbe Sen
ate in which the principle of
home rule was violated w the
District of Columbia. I fought
every nomination of that kind
from tbe appointment of tbe re
corder of deeds down, bull have
never so far bothered myself

Andrew Carnegie has found
a place at last iu this State
where he cau employ some of
his means to most excellent
purpose. We ate told by the
Rev. Dr. Boyce, President of
tbe Due West Female College,
that Mr. Carnegie has offered to
give that institution $10,000 for
the erection of a new college or
dormitory building upon the
condition that the friends of the
Institution contribute an equal
amount. The college is one of
most useful institution* in tbe
State. It has .educated several
thousand young women and has
made good its claim to public
favor. We arc very glad, iu
deed, that Mr. Caroegie has
taken notice of it and wish thst
he had placed no conditions up
on his gift, bnt we have no
doubt that the friends of the in
stitution will meet bis subscrip
tion in the proper spirit.
Lights Cigar with $2$ Bills.
A Concord special says: Ou
Sunday Zeb Cox, of Mt. Pleas
aat, who was feeling rich and
good, rolled a twcnty-dollar bill
and three five-dollar bills to
gether and said to his friends
around: "Boys, watch me light
my cigar." He promptly struck
a match to the roll and tbe roll
to his cigar. Some friend
snatched it away from him,
but Dot until $30 of tbe money
was about half consumed. Tl e
good man, who is not feeling
uow auite so "rich" nor quite so
good," was in Concord yester
day consulting the Concord
National Bank as to how to
have the money redeemed. He
was intormed that be could do
this by-sending to tbe govern
ment the remaining pieces of the
money with a statement as to
bow the missing parts were de
stroyed.

New York, March 30.—Argu
ments on the habeas corpus
proceedings in the cose of
George W. Perkins, former vice
president of (be New York Ufe
Insurance Company, who is
charged in a warrant issued by
Magistrate Moss with the larceny
of $40,702 belonging to the
policy-holders of the New York
Lue Insnranc Company, wbidh
he advanced to Cornelius N.
Bliss, treasurer of the Republi
can national committee, were
made to-day before Justice
Greenbaum in the Stale Snpteute
Court. Decision was reserved.
Briefs will be filed Monday by
contending counsel end then
Justice Greenbaum will take the
matter of the legality of Mr.
Perkin’s arrest under advise
meat.
District Attorney Jerome,
arguing for the prosecution said:
"The question here is as to
the right of Mr. Perkins to pay
the money of the policy-holders
to a political organization for
the purpose of influencing the
results of certain political mat
ters at the polls. Shall the
officers of a corporation or a
single officer, say, take the
money of the policy holders an i
give it to a political party?"
DKMOCKATS’ MONEY TO t'OES
He said such an act it in
herently wrong,contrary to public
policy, to public morality, and to
common decency. "Half of the
policy-holders may have been
Democrats, and to take their
money to assist the Republican
party certainly goes to tbc
establishment of felonious in
tent," he said.
Judge Cohen said that Presi
dent John A. McCall, of the
New York Life inaarance Com
pany, had at different times di
rected the payment of large sums
of money tor the relief o( the
Johnstown flood urflerers and in
a yellow (ever epidemic in New
Orleans. He said that Mr. Mc
Call believed sincerely that when
he directed the payment of this
money to Mr. Perkins be was
acting for the best interests of
the policy holders, sod said that

. The appointment by tbe Pres
ident of B. P. Barnes to be
postmaster of tbe city of Wash
ington is causing no inconsid
erable stir. Barnes is tbe assut
ant secretary to the President,
and is responsible for tbe knock
down-and-drsg-out treatment of
Mrs. Minor Morris at the White
House office tome weeks ago.
The appointment is char
acterised by many as an intuit
to the community, which not
only expressed iU sense of out
rage at the treatment of Mrs.
Morris, but censured the Preii
deut for bis failure to reprove
Mr -Barnes and the officer* who
conducted t h e "drag-out "
The President refused to make
an investigation of tbe affair,
declaring Boldly in effect that
f',T: b*Ju£® »nd the policeman
had told him all about it. and
that was all that was necessary:
there was nothing to investigate.
He was severely censured for
that.

ri.KA op mKisi' coox sac.
Jodge Coben argued tbat
none of the Code's definition*
of larceny applied to Mr. Per
kins' case. Justice Green beam
asked, "Do yon mean to claim
tbat a vice presidemt of a cor
poration cannot be said to be
an officer having control of
funds within tbe meaning of
the statute that only the officers
so included are those who ac
tually draw the checks?’’
"I think that is the meaning
of the law," teplied Judge
Coben.
"So narrow as tbat?" com
mented Jasdce Greenbaum,
Replying to an inquiry by
Justice Greenbaum, Justice
Coben maintained that it would
not be larceny under the
Code. Justice Greenbaum later
•aid:
"A man's motive msy be
perfectly good, and yet be may
be guilty of crime."
!*o PucxuBxr, save jcaoxu. t
During Mr. Jerome's reply to
tbe arguments for Mr. Perkins,
Justice Greenbaum asked: "Do
you maintain that it is aulawfsl
to contribute tbc funds of a com
pany lor such a purpose as is
covered by this case?"
"The money of tbe policy
holder*?—yes,” replied tbe dis
trict attorney.
. do too say tbat of con
tributions from any sort of a
comps ay?"
" W.t’i any great corporation or
trust company I say it is im
moral in the highest degree to
divert its foods without the con
sent of every party in interest "
" Have you any authorities to
submit?” asked Justice Green
ban m.
Mr. Jerome replied: “We
have searched diligently, but
this appears to be the first in
stance of such an issue having
arisen. It would appear that
your hotor will have to pass up
on the question as to whether
there was a felonious attempt, _
without tbe assistance of sack *
authorities."
