BERNARD. . , WILMINGTON If. C. Friday EYEirare, March 13, 1885. EVENING EDITION. STAHLBT M &TTHB WS, THE COM PACT AND VOTE. ' The New - York World contains a " long article written by its Washing ton correspondent giving a clearer in - sight into the circumstances connect- . ed with the , elevation of Stanley Matthews' to the Supreme Court -Bench than we have seen. It has been long known that Matthews is Jay Gould's Judge, and that it was Gould's money that placed the wily Ohidan on the Supreme Bench. For yejrs the country has known some thing of the corrupt methods used but-the whole of the shameful story of political intrigue and corruption has- not been given. According to the correspondent of the'.TFbrW the sum of $300,000 was paid ly Jay Gould and Huntington, to carry In diana in ' 1880, "for Garfield, and the conditions "of " this large gift were tnac uarneia should ap point Matthews: to . the Bench. This .was the disgraceful compact. Matthews morally was wholly unfit for. the place. ' He was known to the country as being a fellow "of easy conscience. He was mixed up with the . rascally rape of 3 Louisiana arid - Florida in 1876,and,he was known to be the special friend and cham pion of railroad kings and lobby lords. - .i ' -- ; - ' Those interested in this shameful compact and who wish to see the evi dence of it must turn to the World. . They will find that .President Arthur and ex-Senator Piatt, of New York, were not ignorant of the .disgraceful i ' scheme. ' ' : There is not the slightest doubt of two things in connection with the . corrut.bargain and sale : first, that' Stanley Matthews by reason of cor - - ' eruption and immoralities- was utterly r-. unfit for the place; and second, that v .here was a regular bafgliin between ,' Garfield .and Gould. This bargain was known when Matthews was ap- - ."pointed to the Supreme 3 Bench and " - confirmed. - - The interesting thing, is to know" bow such a disreputable fellow could have been confirmed. It was a Dro- found: mystery to us when it occur- ' red, and it is a mystery . to this day. The public prints had openly" charged , con uption in the appointment. Why Democratic Senators, and some - of them of the highest standing, 'were found voting for him will be inex-. plicable to the end of : time we sup-. pose. .. We would not have voted for ..such a rascally fellow for any earthly consideration. We would, as . soon - vote for Blaine to-day to be 'Cnief Justice as toTvoto; totput onlthe f - Bench a fellow of - such associations arid antecedents as Matthews.--';T . . The TForV'gWes Jan-'aWybisv-oi' ' . ihe JP&Zti ye8 were 24 andthe' nays were 23. - There were a' num- ber of pairs. We omit the vote and the comments i of the World. It bajb: . ; & S ; . ',iJJa".' ' -f.f ' 'The vote was a most' peculiar one. Of the vote for Matthews, pairs included, 16 were Republicans andl2Q were i Democrata:" "Or tne JJemocrats the roiioww were from the South: Beck, Brown, Butler, Davls7We8tVirginiaFJacksori- Johnston, Jdn Jones, Florida; , Lamar, vRansom, Hampton; Williams.' v . -iS : ., -Of the Tote against, pairs included, 19 TJnrsr.VKrtorio rifJ 1ft TVmnr.rAta "Another most noteworthy fact is that Is only ftoo members of - the Judiciary mitte;Ia&nB and Xamar, were for Mat-; thews,- Edmonds, Logan, 3onklingr Mc MUlan, Garland.Bayard and Dayid Davis, the greatest lawyer oftiie Smote, all voted no. i"It is interesting to know the true histo ry5 of Gen. Garfield's extraordinary interest' in Matthews, ana way ne anouia nave ho persistently forced him. upon the Senate. With the, power, of a new Adminwtration; with the strone nolitical and social influ ences exerted by a Southern family connec tion and with the railroad interests oi , me Senate, this railroad lawyer barely escaped rejection bygone vote. If there-; had been anything like a full Senate present he could, pot have, been confirmed. Anthony, who was , against him, was aosenu oeweu, or. New Jersey, who was present and who has since been active as the friend of -Mc Gould, declined to vote. He said that heu was paired with Mr Teller, and if Mr. Teller had been present he would ave voted no. David Davis arose at this and said that he knew of his own knowledge that Teller was opposed to Matthews. Sew ell still declined to vote." . ; Senator, Vance was paired with Williams, of Kentucky, who was for Matthews, whilst Vanoe was against the dangerous and unscrupulous fel low. THB FORESTS AND THB TEN TO ' I The destruction of American f or ests is so great as to attract more and more the attention of writers. Most people have not 'the slightest sonception of the magnitude of the slaughtering or the value of the for- esw. .,ine reporc oi ine census ot ma . v 1880, (ninth volume) throws a great I deal of - light upon an interesting and important subject. The report is accompaniea witn cnarts in at. to pen tte f .Thev show what proportion of ore. They show what proportion of the has been denuded : of. its forests, and how misleading is the idea that in this vast' country there will be always a great supply ; of trees. If the waste continues ? for fifty years upon the scale that baa marked the last hundred years the climatic changes will be so great and the areas of drought will be so extensive that tree planting will be come an imperative necessity, unless the people shall be content to have I sterility and poverty. It is true there -are vast forests,but it is equally true that vast forests "t have been .swept away by the remorseless slay .er. The census of .1880 is a correct tive of fallacious calculations. In telligent congressmen should study it, and governors and legislators shouljl give due attention to its les sons. r Let it be borne in mind that there are sections that have no trees and can never have any. The census gives this area at 300,000 square miles. This great district must re main uncultivated or its supply of timber must come from other sec tions." How much lumber is now required think you to supply the demands ot I the country? The figures are placed f at eighteen billions of feet (board measure) and this destroys at least three millions , of acres of forests every year, ritti an upward tendency. ; In an article - in the Current we find some statistics that illuminate ! the subject. It says: H "The test report of the Chicago Board of Trade made the estimate that an. the past thirty years over thirty, billions of feet, of lumber had passed through the Chicago markets; a sum. quite beyond human com prehension. Oyer ten millions of acres of land were devastated by forest Area during the census year. ' About one hundred and fifty million cords of wood are each year consumed for fuel in the United States, 5 Tequiring the denudation of over three mil lions of acres of : the average forest' area. I Thus from these three sources of consump tiuu aioue, nearly sixieen muuons or acres of forest lands, or about twenty-five thous- ana square miles, are annually required to be destroyed. Estimating the resources of tne -lorests of Calilorma. Washington Territory and Oregon at four billions of feet, a liberal ' figure, and comparing this estimate with, the figures given by the Tenth Census, as representing - the annual con sumption of wood for the lumber interests of the two Slates and Territory-which are BavoYerwxnunarea ana niiy millions .4.. . i m a :i n . rtrZ"n? are accustomed to look with uch security -and satisfaction would, in the absence of renewal, from this source : of j consumption alone, disappear In sixty-five ycais." . I ? It is also' initructive'to know'wrrat is the income, from this stripping the earth of its natural protectors. Ac- cording to the census reports the an- nual income from: tree ' destruction is $700,000,000 a vast sum truly. The pine forests in the North have from year to year contributed very largely to this great income. But, says the rvriter.in the Current? ' , ; "The census. warns ihat the great pine forests of (he North have been already sub ject to terrific drains. - New England and New York,once actually cbvored with: pine, are now bare-of it.-:-Pennsylvania, not many-years ego actually embarrassed "by. the aprourentlyntenninable character of its pine forests, is now nearly- stripped of every pine tree. JEven the dreat Northwest, where great forests producing: over two hundred cords of wood to the average acre lie, is threatened with speedy exhaustion. The disappearance of the pine forests of Michl- can, Alinnesoia ana v isconsia a now uu question of a comparatively abort time, CThereia one jfeature of the iabjeot that our readers can appreciate fully and becauieunderttbeir oye8 the haveseen the -destruction goin on frm hnvhnnd until . now.

The political leaders; do not much relish the push of certain ex-mem-bers of r Congress for. office. The Washington 1 correspondent - of the Phiiadelphia"7?i I writes; that one sr -. of these leaders said a ' f e w nights since: : ? ; - i' - : .'

Lewis, 15th district; James Holeman, 20th district; (by authority, A W. Graham) 15th. district; Joshua Perry, 7th district." It is pleasant to know that the South is not overdoing the business of seeking office. Thus far the North leads. The New York Times says of the comparative modesty of bur sec tion: "The -'clamorous SoutlT thus far exists in the imagination of the Northern editor. The South, taken as a whole, does not now seem to have sent as many office seekers to Washington as New York and Illinois alone. The reason is clear enough. The Democratic party in the South has not been based as much upon the spoils as the same party in the North." We have taken the trouble to go over a long and interesting letter in the Augusta Chronicle from its staff correspondent, and to cut out here and there paragraphs to which we have given headings of our own. We think the reader will find the extracts enjoyable -perhaps suggestive. I&TERE8T1NG WASHING TON ITEMS. Watt an Intelllcent correspondent IfOte. From J. R. Randall's Letter in Augusta (Ga.)

Not a few Democrats who. endorse his.financial ideas say that they.hope he will smash; both parties. "It is al so surmised that a wonderful change of front is about to take place;s that the Democrats are about to become allies with the corporations, with the citadel of operation in "New York; and that the Republicans, ; having used the corporations for all they are worth, will assume the .cause' of the people and rally ' the disaffected everywhere to their standard.

A BICH AND CHILDLESS SENATOR.' ; i Switched off on one of the side tracks of the Baltimore & Potomac Railway is the palace car of Senator Leland Stanford, who has $40,000, 000, but'no child to inherit it. The loss of his only son ' has ''made this enormous pile of money almost value- less to him, except as it allows ambi- tion to be the poor substitute of affec tion. 1 PAINTED TOO RED. I Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, thinks, the Southern situation has been painted with too much rose color. He says our people cannot and do not. get rich on old lines of agriculture, and that the negro and the plough mule are no longer j the increments of wealth. Manufactur ing and mining are the real sources of f ruitf nl production, and poor in deed will we be if neglectful of them. In this connection somewhat, Col. R. B. Rhettsays: "I am con fident that the South is poorer to-day than she was just after the war. Much of the superficial prosperity is that of Northern men who control all or nearly all the avenues and instru ments of wealth." A GAME OF "FREEZE OUT. W : It is said that an Alabama delega tion, largely composed of Colonels and Judges, brevet and genuine, marshalled by Gen. Joseph' Wheeler, met with scant satisfaction when trying to haye some assurance from the President about turning out car- fet-bag office-holders in that State, f this be true, it does not necessari ly mean that there will be no clean sweep in Alabama and the South, but rather portends that the Presi dent will not be hurried by fussy Generals and importunate, not to say hungry delegations. I would not be surprised if he played a game of "freeze-out" with the swarm of office-seekers . now here : or on the way. Ip such a contest he will, in the main, prove victorious. i AX ORGAN NOT NEEDED. Some curiosity is expressed, as to a newspaper organ. The Post is on the ground, but Mr. Cleveland may not care to make it an authoritative medium. Surprise is felt at the re port that an organ has been started in ' New York,, and that George Gould son of Jay is one of the principal stockholders!

Wktumfka, Ala,, Sept. 28, 1884. Abont six years ago I became afflicted with a very disagree able fkln diseaae, with large, dry sores and many crusted pimples on my face, hands and sbonldt-r. The sore on my shoulder eat out a hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous appearance of one of the sores near my eye alarmed me very much. I tried all kinds of treatment, but found nothing that seemed to affect the disease. I Anally de ckled to try S. 8. 8. on advice of a physician.and in a short time the scabs dropped from the sores and left my skin smooth and well. I consider 8. 8. 8. the greatest blood medicine made, and the only thing that will cure the disease with which I was afflicted. I think my trouble was the re salt of a terrible attack of malarial fever, con tracted while farming in the Tallapoosa river swamp. I can be found at my office in the court house at Wetumpka.
