EVENING EDITION. s - " DOUGIiAS.THE RIAUSHAL. i j I Our; contemporary, the Charlotte Observer, is doing real service in de- voting so mucb space to the career of Robert M. Douglas, United States Marshal for, the- Western District of North Carolina. Its issue of Sept. 1 contains a long and carefully prepared statement, dated Ashevijle, August 27tb, sustained by certificates, of the utter and hopeless inefficiency of the son of the illustrious Douglas. We cannot doubt that this incompetent official would have long ago suffered' decapitation if he had been the son of, some obscure man. Every Amer ican citizen, and specially, every Uni ted States official, should be made to stand upon his own individual merits, and not to be tolerated when found incapable or corrupt because his fa ther was great and had rendered the State some service. -, ' The evidence as to Douglas s inef ficiency is too voluminous for our columns, as we prefer always to se cure in each issue our usual variety, unless the occasion for a change is local or "imperative. The Observer remarks editoriallv: "The facts set forth bear the seal of au thenticity, and clinch the charges which have been frequently made of gross frauds and mismanagement in the affairs of this district. The proofs are convincing, and leave no room to doubt that Marshal Doug las, if not corrupt, is thoroughly incompe tent to operate the important office which he holds. The writer of this communica tion has ;had access, as is evident, to all the papers bearing upon the case, ana the accuracy of the statements made, fortified as they are by affidavits, cannot be suc cessfully questioned. ' The evidence offered is identical with that which has been in the hands of the present Administration for some time. -It appears to be suffi ciently ample to have required Mr. Hayes, long ago, to summarily dis miss, Marshal Douglas. But this he has not done. More than a year ago the Grant Administration was -ap . prised of his shortcomings. No de fence was made by the Republican press, so clear and flagrant "were the oppressions; misconduct and frauds." The correspondent of the Observer says : . - - . "The mass, of testimony, consisting of affidavits taken in the locality, and of ex tracts irom ine records or the courts of the aiatrict, reported by Special Agent Hester, are said to disclose frauds upon the Trea sury which will probably aggregate more than $100,000. These frauds were perpe t trated, not only by deputy marshals, but are-traced into the Marshal's office. Up- - sides these frauds, the grossest misconduct oi deputies is alleged - Ihe mam points established by evidence in the hands of the Depart ment of J ustice, appear to be these: 1. That the deputy marshals and drunken U. S. Commissioners, hold fictitious courts,' arrest or pretend to arrest fictitious persons, and summon imaginary witnesses, and in fact makeu?asesori:paper, imake out pay rolls for mythical witnesses, and keep, the vouchers for their own use. lbat a great number of arrests TV mnnrol hv the crand iurv. Several 5 thousand persons were bound over against whom no true bills have been found. --' ' : s 3. That a fellow operating under two names', and acting both as deputy marshal and secret service agent, charged 5,244 miles in executing one' subpoena.' lie was also paid .for the same service as secret service agent.' The Asheville correspondent says: f ' "This same man occupied a desk in the marshal's office at Greensboro, and was known there as Anchisi, and yet was per-i mitted to prove an account under another name which was included by the marshal in his account current for the term of the court." ' This same man was permitted to' go from court to court which followed each other in close succession twice a year, and; prove witness attendance and mileage from New York to Greensboro and back to New' York, and then from New York to Stales-; ville and back to New York, and' from 'New Yrk to Asheville and return. Alto gether he appears to have received "pay! from the marshal of the western district of. North Carolina for attendance at fifteen different terms of the court for one hun dred and four days, and ten thousand five hundred and seventy two miles travel." All this is a matter of evidence, and the Attorney General is in pos session of the same. , 4. That a Deputy Marshal, one F. C. Clark, swore to a false account be fore the U. S. Commissioner at Greensboro, in that he charged for false mileage, for fajsej arrests that were never made, and for attendance upon the U. S. Commissioner's Court at Greensboro in five cases, and at S.alem before the U; S. Commission-, er's Court, at the same time and on the same days. . "Thus, in his ubiquitous character, he arrested eight persons, and makes up live hundred and sixty-five miles in four days, and attends court before one commissioner, and arrests live others on the same day, and tries them before another commission er, at f another town thirty or forty, miles distant, and makes up seven hundred and twenty-eight miles, and then makes out a bill against the Government for $387.64, and swears that it is correct and true; that the miles charged were actually traveled, and all the services mentioned were ren dered'. . . ,. 1 . But this is enough.-. What, must we conclude when wo arc assured that all this is sustained by the most ample evidence, which for months has been in possession of the Attor ney General of the United States? Must we conclude, that it is the pur pose of the Administration in the face of established corruption and repeated delinquencies, to shield the guilty ones? Can it be possible that a Marshal shall be retained when it is patent to a whole State that he is absolutely and unqualifiedly incom petent and grossly negligent, if not particeps criminis? Where is the civil service order? Where is the reform promised in such well-sounding words that electrified the whole country? Is the promised reform to end in nothing but empty and idle wdVds? Mr. Hayes has done well in many things. But he will do himself great, discredit, and visit a heavy affliction ujon the people of North Carolina, if he retains in office men -of question able characters and of manifest in competency. Let Marshal , Douglas be invited to retire. No man has a right to rest his case upon the record of his father, but upon his own per sonal merits. No official has any right to seek safety by "being propped by ancestry," and being "allied to em inent assistants." He should be a man every inch of him, and, "Spider like, ' Out of his self drawing web he should give us note, That by force of his own merit he makes his way." . , ' Partisanship is almost certain to degenerate into rancor, and section alism is the hot-bed of injustice, op pression and vulgar abuse. The New York Times, the ablest of Republi can papers, is one of the most vicious. The chief element in its nature is bit terness, as the main feature of its character is hatred of the South. It cannot do justice to any marborn in the South, and when "God's hand touches" a poor child, of Adam, and he dies, even then With a hyena-like proclivity it hunts him in tb;e grave. If you doubt the correctness of this 'charge, read the following nauseating wors: ' "Raphael Semmes is dead at the age of 68. Had he followed the trade of piracy against a less generous' people he would have died twelve years, ago.; The foreign power which gave him the means to sink, burn and destroy the merchant vessels of the United States has paid for its disregard of the law of nations; the domestic rebel lion which furnished him an excuse for taking up the trade of murder and robbery has been forgiven." i s' ; y .u r:-; r ' A poor ass kicking up its heels at a dead lion.

'" ? fy - 17te London Quarterly for July contains"a very interesting ! table " of contents. ' We have not found' time to read all the' ar ticles, but can commend as exceedingly en joyable and edifying the following papers: "The First Lord Abmger and the Bar," a somewhat depreciating notice of the most successful of all English advocates, better known as Sir James Scarlett. The article is nevertheless full of interest, and abounds in reminiscences of distinguished lawyers! "Recent Discoveries in Art and Archmology at Romej" "Oxford Gossip in the Seven teenth Century," a paper of remarkable inter est, based upod the letters of the celebrated Dean Prideaux, who is exhibited in a' not very enviable light; "The Science of Elec tricity es applied In Peace and War," ' and "The Ridsdale Judgment and the Priest in Absolution," a vigorous and formidable at tack upon the Ritualists Of England.

Stephens contributes "The Letters of Ju nius," repudiating every claim to their au thorship. "The President's Southern Pol icy" is the title of a contribution which clearly and ably defines and defends it. This article tends toward peace and quiet, and the permanent stability of business. Dr. Francis Wharton contributes "Judicial Partisanship: Queen ; Caroline's Case," showing that, like the Colorado beetle and potato bug, the mistake of depending on the impartiality of Judges, in extreme par tisan cases, is not exclusively "American.

On the other; band tbe Turks are mucb too strong to lie, inactive in tbe face of an inferior Russian' force, and the chances are great that the valley of Kara Lorn will soon 4e tbe thea tre of a decisive battle of large proportions. A subsequent telegram shows -that the Russians have evacuated . Gagova and ; re-, tired to Polomarka. The limei Bucharest! correspondent says the Turks a'nd Egyptians pursued them thither.' ' " ' The limes' Bucharest dispatch, Septem ber?, says "the autumnal rains have' be gun ; it bas been raining here continually since last night." V The limes1' leader uiges very strongly that England should offer mediation with the concurrence of the other neutral powers. ' The offers of mediation could be based on. tlio rniAmmanrlal!nn im uHo lur tlio i 'nnutun'. U I- ,Tlt"-IIl'Tl ..... 'Jm KM - J V VVUHUU' j tinopie conterence. In the same connection the Daily News' Bucharest correspondent says "peace; is impossible until the Turks are' completely crushed. The war has become a dynastic; one for the Itomanolis, as much as the Franco-Prussian war was for the Napoleons. If the Czar entered Moscow after concluding an unsatisfactory peace, it would "have to be at the point of the bayonet. This should be as well known abrqad as it is in Russia." , London. Sept. 6. , The Russian success at '. Lovatz. places Osinan Pasha in the awkward position of having a hostile force on both of his flanks. ; An attempted withdrawal might result in the destruction of bis army, unless the Rus sians are compelled to weaken their forces on that side, in order to meet Mehemit All's advance from Rasgrad. The latter seems to place the Czarwitch's army in a position very similar to Osman Pasha's. If the Turkish accounts may be trusted, and they seem to be confirmed in these par ticulars by Russian admissions, a' Turkish force bas crossed the Lom and reached the neighborhood of Obirterni, while another force has crossed Kara Lom to Polomarka. These corps are understood lobe operating against Biela, but they jeopardize the whole Russian campaign east of Ynntra, as well as the communications with Tirnova. . A Times- special , from Rome says the health of the Pope is improving.' Washington, September 1 : A Constantinople dispatch, not through regular channels, says the Russian batteries at ochinka 1 ass have been silenced, a Turkish shell having exploded ihe Russian powder magazine.
