Special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, June 22.
An intimate and confidential friend
of one of the carpel-bag Senators, of
whom there are just four left, staled
yesterday in Willard's Hotel that
they would most certainly vote with
the Democrats unless what they con
sider due consideration is accorded
them by the Administration. This
"due consideration" must consist,
according to their ideas, of the privi
lege to control the Federal patron
age in their respective Stales. It is
believed now that the carpet bag
Senators will make overtures to the
Democrats for an alliance which
shall include as one of its provisions
a reorganization of the committees
and a change of the officers of the
Senate. Before the adjournment of
the extra session of the Senate, when
the President's policy was only dim
ly defined, one of the carpet-baggers
went to a prominent Democratic
Senator, and said to him that he
would come over to the Democratic
side whenever bis vote could be of
any benefit to them.
The few carpet-baggers have it in
their power by going together to give
the control of the Senate to the Dem
ocrats. If they see fit to do sojthe De
mocrats are not going to refuse their
aid, but it need not be expected that
they will do more for the carpet-baggers
than give them a few of the of
fices. Tilden' Answer to the Government
Salt.
New Yobk, June 22.
The counsel for ex-Governor Til
den to-day filed, in the United Slates
District Conrt, the answer to the suit
of the Government against Mr. Til
den to recover $156,000 income tax,
alleged to be due the government.
The answer states that the returns
made by Mr. Tilden were all correct,
and that in the years when he neg
lected to make returns the govern
ment collector made an assessment
which, with the penalty atlaehed, he
paid. lite answer concludes with a
general denial of all the allegations
in the complaint, and claims that Mr.
Tilden is indebted nothing te the go
vernment tor income tax or on any
other account. ' j

Arrest of a Colored Man Charged
with Larceny.
David Jackson, for whom a capeas had
been issued by tbe Clerk of the Criminal
Court, on the charge of larceny, was ar
rested on Saturday night last by Special
Deputy C. H. Strode, at a bouse in the 1
neighborhood of Ninth and Harnett streets.
He was discovered squeezed into a very
small compass between tbe ceiling and
roof of the house, from which, after an
hour's exertion, and the employment of
sundry devices,it was found impossible to
dislodge him. As a last resort tbe officer
drew his pistol, asked the fellow if he was
coming out, and upon his leplying in the
negative, said "Well riljkill you," firing
bis pistol at the same time into a flue which
passed oat through the roof near which be
was concealed, scattering dust and frag
ments of brick about pretty lively. This
had the desired effect. Jackson became
frightened, thinking Strode would finish
him tbe next time, and crawled out and
surrendered himself whereupon he was
lodged in tbe county jail.
Jackson was arrested several days ago,
but escaped from the officer who had him
him in charge, and ever since then he has
been concealed where Officer Strode found
him. The case is an old one, having been
returned to the last term of the Superior
Court before the Criminal Court com
menced its sessions.

N. C, TUESDAY. JUNE 26. 1877.
Dangerous I lines of a onus Han,
Caused by Taking an Overdose of
Medicine. -
Considerable excitement was created on
the lower part of Market street, yesterday
afternoon, by the fact that a well known
young man of this city, by the name of
Jones Walker, had been rendered serious
ly ill by taking an overdose of medicine.
It appears that he bad procured a two
ounce phial of diarrhce medicine, contain
ing a mixture of laudamun, rhubarb, cam
phor, &c, all of which he had taken with
in the space of about five minutes. This
was about 2 o'clock. Immediately after
wards he went to Mr. H. Burkhimer's store
and called for a piece of tobacco, which
was given to him, when he sat down in a
chair and commenced singing, but in a very
few minutes became drowsy and finally fell
out of tbe chair. ' An attempt was made by
Mr. Burkhimer and others to arouse him,
but without avail, and finally a physician
and members of the family were sent for.
By the time the physician arrived he had
to all appearances almost ceased to breathe.
The usual remedies in such cases were ap
plied and a vigorous system of rubbing,
&c, was kept up, but with little apparent
success, until about half-past 8 o'clock last
evening, when he was taken to tbe resi
dence of the family on a stretcher. He had
shown some faint signs of life previous to
his removal, and tbe hope is indulged that
he may possibly recover.
After swallowing the last of the medi
cine he broke the phial, which contained
no label, and the only way in which the
character of its contents could be judged
was by the smell. One who saw the phial
before it was emptied said it contained a
very dark fluid, and the smell of laudanum,
rhubarb and camphor could be detected on
the fragments of the phial, which were
picked up on the sidewalk where tbe un
fortunate man had thrown them.
A police officer was kept in front of Mr.
Burkhimer's store during tbe afternoon,
and only tbe relatives and immediate
friends of the young man were allowed to
enter, except those who wished to pur
chase goods from the store. The sidewalk
in the vicinity was also kept clear.
Freak or a Lunatic.
A crazy colored woman was cutting up
some strange antics m Oakdale Cemetery
Sunday afternoon. She had a basket of
wilted flowers, with which she paraded
around the Confederate monument and
chanted a requiem to the departed spirit of
Primus Moore, the colored man who died
at the station-house on Saturday morning
from the effects of drink. She seemed to
imagine that Moore was buried there, and
was going to no alter fioweia on his grave,
but one of the attendants at tbe Cemetery,
happening to observe her actions, conduct
ed her to the gate and put her out She
was subsequently seen On the streets with
her clothing nearly torn from her person.
We did not learn her name.

Appointment of magistrates.
We print, by request, tbe following let
ter from Maj. J. A. Engelhard to Capt. C.
D. Myers:
Raleigh, June 20, 1877.
Mt Dear Sib: The report comes to me
so frequently and so well authenticated,
that in many portions of the lower Cape
Fear section I am blamed, either directly
or indirectly, for most of the grievances of
which our friends complain in regard to
tbe appointment of Radical and negro
magistrates, I have reluctantly consented
to notice them. These charges against me,
for such tbey really are, may be summed
up under three heads, viz:
1st That I favored the appointment of
Radical magistrates in certain counties.
2d. That I was responsible for tbe selec
tion of the Radicals, white and black, who
were appointed magistrates in the city of
Wilmington.
3d. That I substituted the names of cer
tain Democrats for those recommended for
magistrates in ward meetings in the city
of Wilmington.
I am sure it is not necessary for me to
deny to you these charges singly or in
whole. You will know that each and all
are false in spirit and in letter.
It may be well to premise what I may
say with tbe statement that tbe General As
sembly had referred tbe selection of magis
trates to a joint select committee, and that
committee had established tbe rule that, in
counties represented by Republicans, one
third of the magistrates should be appointed
from that party, and tbe Republican mem
bers should have tbe privilege to make
such selections.
In reply to the first charge, I will say that
I am the only person, not a member Of tbe
Legislature, who appeared before this com
mittee to oppose the selection of Radical
magistrates, and lam the only person who
secured for any county, represented by Re
publicans in the Legislature, a diminution
of the number of Radical magistrates al
lotted to such county by the committee, and
tbe only one who was permitted to select
those who were appointed in such county.
I did secure for New Hanover both, and
for Pender the latter of these exceptions.
In reply to the second charge, I will say
that, with a single exception, I am not re
sponsible for the selection of the particular
persons appointed as Radical magistrates
for New Hanover. After my earnest fight
in behalfjof my people before the committee,
and having secured for them these excep
tions, I telegraphed Mr. C. H. Robinson, offi
cially, he being Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee for New Hanover, that
I could have the number of Radical magis
trates, reduced and would be allowed to se
lect them, and requested him to name the
five least objectionable Republicans, and in
the order of their choice. 1 took this precau
tion in the hope of still further reducing
tbe number, which I did. The following
is a copy of the telegram:
Raleigh, March 7th, 1877.
C. II. Robinson, Chairman, &c., Wilmington:
After hard light question referred to spe
cial committee, Gen. Roberts, Wilson and .
myself, for final action. We met at three
to-day. Fear few Radicals will be insisted
on. Name five most acceptable in order of
choice. McQuigg, Howe and Joe Hill are
least Objectionable names in present list
Cassidey, Gardner and Van Amringe I will
defeat, and fight all or nearly all the rest
off. Telegraph fully and early. Show to
parties who have telegraphed.
(Signed) J. A. Engelhard.
In early reply to this telegram I received
the following:
Wilmington, March 7th, 1877.
J. A. Engelhard, Raleigh :
Fight till the last gasp. It will hurt us
awfully. Least objectionable five Mc
Quigg, Joe Hill, Howe, B. G. Bates, John
Norwood.
(Signed) C. H. Robinson,
Chairman.
It will be seen that the only exception
made to those named in this dispatch was
tbe substitution of T. M. Smith for B. G.
Bates, and the leaving out the name of Jno.
Norwood, as only four Radicals were finally
appointed. The substitution of Smith for
Bates was done under the firm conviction,
oa my part, that he was as acceptable to
our people as Bates was, and further, be
cause Smith's appointment was endorsed,
as a choice among Radicals, by Mr. Rich
ardson, of Columbus, who had entitled him
self to great consideration by his zealous
and valuable services in behalf of New Han
over; and was requested by Mr. James Wil
son, who bad, in all business matters,
proved himself a faithful and intelligent
representative from our county.
In reply to the third charge, I will state
that when I received your telegram, asking
me to assist Senators Troy and Stanford in
preventing tbe appointment of Radical ma
gistrates, which was the first intimation I
had that the persons recommended by the
wards, townships and counties, would
not be confirmed by tbe Legislature,
I found that these Senators and our
other friends in both Houses, having
endeavored faithfully to secure for New
Hanover what her people desired and
failed, had taken their leave of the com
mittee. Senators Troy and Stanford had
entered their protest against the action of
the committee. The same was true in re
gard to the friends of Craven, Lenoir,
Pender, and probably other counties. All
had failed, and the committee were only
waiting for their clerks to complete the
list as agreed upon.
X soon learned that the list for the city of
Wilmington, which was entitled to twenty
magistrates, contained seven Republican
names, and four of them among the most
offensive partisans within tbe limits of the
city, viz: Cassidey, Gardner, Van Amringe
and W. H. Moore.
Under these disadvantages I undertook,
alone, to change the purpose of the com
mittee. Assisted greatly by the numerous
and emphatic telegrams which were re
ceived by myself and others from the lead
ing citizens of Wilmington, and after a
hard streggle, I had the lists from New
Hanover and Pender reconsidered and re
ferred to special committees. The Pender
appointments, at ray request, were referred
to those better acquainted with their
wishes than myself. I took personal
charge of the New Hanover appoint
ments. Having telegraphed to. ,aad
received a reply from Mr. Robinson, given
above, I was prepared to act Instead of
seven Republican magistrates in Wilming
ton. I bad tbe number reduced to four,
just one fifth of tbe whole number, instead
of more man one-third, as I found it
Looking at the list, as agreed upon by the
committee, I found' that L. H. Bowden
had been stricken from it, and Thoa. C.
Gardner substituted therefor. I restored
his name. The same changes had been
made in the names of J. L. Cantwell, and
J. J. Cassidy, and D. G. Worth, and W.
H. Moore. I restored the names of Messrs.
Cantwell and Worth, and erased the Radi
cals. I struck from the list the name of
S. Van Amringe ami substituted the name
of T. M. Smith, having secured all the
Democrats allowed J me. The names of E.
H. McQuigg, Anthony Howe and J. C.
Hill, who had been named by Mr. Robin
son in his dispatch. Were already on tbe
list and were permitted to remain. Their
terms of service were fixed in duration in
accordance with the order in which they
were named, McQuigg for six years, Hill
for four years, Howe for two years.
WHOLE NO. 3,085
Thus, my friend, you have a succinct and
truthful account of my entire connection
with tbe appointment of magistrates. Un
dertaken at your request, and that of other
gentlemen of Wilmington, I am sure you
and they will not willingly bear me misrep
resented and maligned.
I had devoted myself so long, so earnest
ly and so laboriously to save the people of
Eastern North Carolina from the control
of ignorant officials, and after so stubborn,
and apparently so hopeless a fight, had
witnessed the consummation of many of
my hopes and my labors in the. adoption of
tbe amendments to the Constitution, it was
indeed a labor of love for rae to attempt to
secure the most important of all the ad
vantages which the amended Constitution
bestowed to a long-suffering people. I had
congratulated myself that while my success
was only partial, mine, of many, were the
only efforts in any degree successful. And
surely I did not believe that any person in
Southeastern North Carolina at least nor
in any portion of the State who bad been
a reader of the Wil inington Journal, or who
had heard me on the stump, could believe
that I had favored the appointment of Rad
ical magistrates, and who did not feel well
assured that I would actively oppose any
such movement, come from whatever
source it might. Your friend,
Joa A. Engelhard.

Profane and Obscene dang uage on the
Streets.
It is to be hoped that stringent measures
will be adopted towards breaking up the
use of obscene and profane language on
our streets, so that ladies and others, while
walking the same, or quietly sitting in
their piazzas or porches at home, may not
be so constantly liable to have their ears
assailed with expressions both shocking
and offensive, or children be constrained,
to acquire, by the frequent use of such lan
guage within their bearing, the habit
which is so deleterious to refinement and
good taste. An instance in point occurred
in front of the Court House a few days
ago, where two men, one while and the
other colored, in the course of some diffi
culty between them, indulged in the most
filthy and obscene language, and that al
most in the presence of a lady, who hap
pened accidentally to be passing at tbe
time. We hope our police will be instruct
ed to take cognizance of all such cases as
this, as one of the necessary protections to
the community.
A successful Excursion,
We learn that the late excursion under
the auspices of the teachers of the Luthe
ran Sunday school cleared $108.54. Too
much credit cannot be bestowed upon the
efforts of the ladies, on this occasion, and
we are glad to know their success pecunia
rily was so great. We believe this is tbe
largest amount cleared by any excursion so
far this season. We learn that it will pro
bably be repeated'.

Insurance upon houses and property is
demanded by every consideration of econ
omy. But health is allowed to insure itself
and by a waste, unpardonable in all other
matters, the constitution is bankrupted
through the agency of impoverished blood.

Dft. SOHBNQIf'S jpVJMmOO SYRUP, SEA
WEED TONIC, ad MANDRAKE PILLS. These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy kaown to
the American public They are compounded of ve
getable ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the' human, constitution. Other re
mediegladvertised as cures for Consumption, prob
ably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consump
tive patients it must do great injury ; for its tenden
cy is to confine the morbid matter in the system ,
which, of course, must make a cure impossible.
1 Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted to contain
not a particle of opium: it is composed of powerful
bat harmless herbs, which act on the longs, liver,
stomach and blood, and thus coirect all morbid se
cretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the
body. They are the only means by which Consump
tion can be curea.and as Schemck's Pulmonic Syrup,
Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Puis are the only
medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious
they are the only genuine core for Pulmonary Con-.
sumption. Bach bottle of this invaluable medicine
la accompanied by foil directions. Dr. Schenck ia
