Prom our Regular Correspondent. 'If the president desires a thorough investigation of the Pontoliice scandals and the exposure of the rascals rath or than n whitewashing, he had better manage to infuse a little of his strenuousness into his Postmaster Gener al," said a prominent official of the Government 16 your correspondent today a n d that is the general impress 6ion nrnong all who have closely watched the course of events since Postmnstr Geo eral Payne returned from his southern cruise. It is evident thatthe Postmaster General has no heart in the invest iga tions which are being condne ted by the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and that, ns a result of po litical influence, or for other reasons he would like to pro long ihe affair until the pub lie is weary of it. nnd then drop it with as little publici ty as possible. With an evi dent desire to curtail the pub licity which the affair has lieen receiving in the newspa pers, the Postmaster Gener al has twbe taken occasion to say to the newspaper cor respondents whom he re ceives each day at 4. p. m., that he would expect them to prove the allegations which they send to their pa pers and that it was more than possible that General Bristow would attempt to drag them into the investi gation and make them testi- tv as to the sources of their information. Chnrgps of the grayest impott are being fil ed almost dail but no word regaiding them is given to the public and it is doubtful if they will ever be made pub lie unless on an unoqnivieal order from the President or on the imperative request of Congress. The appearance of ' Cons, tin" Abner M.'Kinleyin Wash ington this week vns not al together surprising but it is taken to conform the rumor that Mr. McKinley is trying to protect his old friend, Su perintendent Machen, of the Postoffiee Department from him went immediately to the Postmaster General with whom he was closeted f o r some time. I was generally believed that when Perry Heath was First Assistant Postmaster General, it was Mr. McKinley that effected the withdrawal of tne re quest for Mr. Mn chen's resig nation which had been made at that time. A proceeding which reflects grave discredit on certain of McialHofthe Admitistration has just come to light in con nection with the smuggling cases in Porto Rico. Officers of the Army and Navy and some civillians were recently arrested for smuguling wines silks and tobacco into Porto Rico, and the case was taken up at the instance of the U nited States Atttorney for theisland. When Secretary of the Navy, Moody, Post master General Payn, Rep- restntative Cannon and oth ers were in Porto Rico they were appealed to iu the mat ter and immediately on their return to Washington the United States Attorney was instructed to "nol pros" the cases. The Porto Rican judge refused to entertain the plea however, and the grar.d jury has indicted the officers and civilians. The Department of J nstice. on being notified that the local judge refused to dis miss the cases cabled the at torney in part, "Considera tions of moment not confin ed to Porto Rieo or individu als involved have moved Ad ministration, after full inves tigation and deliberation, to course directed which will fie adhered to." What will be the further course of the Ad ministration, now that the culprits have been indicted, remains to be seen, but it is difficult to ee reason or jus tice in the apparent exempt. tion granted to smugglers, apparently on the ground that they are unny and na vy officers who should be first to uphold the law. A news item has reached Washington from Ohio which has excited the keenest inter est. It is to the effect that Senator Hnnnna is to no Ion ger enjoy the position of su preme dictator of republican affairs in his state but must, s a result of his defeat in Cleveland by Major Johnson, share his dictatorship with Senator Foraker a nil George B. Cox, of CinHnnatti. The information is of special in terest because of the far that the Ohio republicans hold their state convention in June to select a candidate for Governor nnd Mr. Han na has already selected his candidate, Mr. Myron T. Her nek. In selecting Mr. Ilerrrk Senator Hanna turned down Genera Dick, of Akron, now a membpr of Congress. Gem-r al Dick has long had guber rational aspirations nn there are those who believe he will land the plum this year despite Mr. H.mna. Meanwhile the mere sugges tion of a factional fight in re publican ranks strikes terror to the Republican politician because of the strength o Tom Johnson. Rumors of the necessity o an investigation in the Navy Department, especially on that would go very thorough ly into the question of ammu nition and contractu let for naval vessels, continue to cir culate despite the efforts o the Secretary to discredit them. The bceident on thp Iowa, the damage to the Maine, the prompt disavow al of any reponsabilit,vor. the part of the contractors, by officers of the Navy almost before there had been time to ascertain the full extent of the damage to the latter ves sel are all cited as indicating the necessity for a full and thorough investigation, and it is said that some very for cible truths will be presented to the President on hit re turn to U'ashington. A scheme put into opera tion, hy which beeietary Shaw has just afforded the National City Bank of New York an opportunity to make some very handsorr profits in connection with bis bond refunding scheme has just come to light and has occa sioned the greatest indigna tion on the part of the New York bankers. The Secretary a used to beaddreessed from Ihe lit of registered bond holders in the possession of the Tieasury Department, cir Hilars to the hank named, of feeing to purchase the 4 per cent bondsund exchange them for the new issuo lof 2 per cents. As there is a very handsome profit in the trans action for the bank making this, exchange add the Seere iary waspirty tothest-heme numerous protests are being received.

Bmti th a I'M Kind You Haw Always BoiuM Slgaatu r Sooth Dakota rs. North Cirolii Christian Advocate, The suit which lion hd-n pending in theSupremuCou 1 of the United States vvmh ar gued last week. Hon. Wheel er H. Perkutn, ex-Governor Rjscell ana ex Senator Hur ler represented South Dako ta and the second mortgage bond-h elders, while ex-Judge shepherd, ex-Judge Merris mon and Hon. Geo. E. Hound tree represent e I North Caro lina. In 18C0 North Carolina is sued about 2.500.000 worth of bonds to aid in the c o n struction 1 the North Caro'i na railroad. In.1879 North Carolina, being hopelessly in debt, compromised thene bonds for '2o cents on the do! lar, not counting interest Parties in New York having $250,000 worth of bonds re. fused to compromise. Not be ing able to bring H'.iit a gainst a soverign State, they gave the educational fund of Smth Dakota $10,000, so that she might instittitetjuit. nnd they might make them selves parties. North Carolina urges that this attempt to sue her by donating a part of the bonds to another State nnd get ting that state to institute suit is a fraud upon jiirisdic tion; that Schnffer'Bros., the owners, of the bonds, are tr y ing to do indirectly w h n t they cannot do directly; and that the owners of the bonds got them for only a small part of their lace value, well knowing that the bond? were almost worthless; and that in 1879, these owners were of fered a faireomprotnise which they refused. It would be useless to pre dict the outcome ol tho suit. Eminent lawyer-s are divided in their opinions. As North Carolinians, we are all inter ested in the matter, nnd want justice done. But we feel that the charge of turpi tude made iiguinst the State by her citizens, .ex-Governor Russell and ex Senator But ler, are without foundation and comes with poor g;rnee from these men who h n v e been so highly honored by her. rointed.Pa: agrnphs.
