the Stab has never, advocated the
Blair bill, bat has always, uniformly
and earnestly, opposed it. . ,

The gifted Washington correspon
dent of the Augusta Chronicle thus
graphically and most interestingly
describes Frank Hurd's speech in the
House on his contested election case:
"Hurd, eleeantlv dressed, advanced from
the Democratic cloak room and limped to
ward his old seat where he had, on several
memorable occasions, taken the House bv
storm with his dazzling intellectual gifts
and magnetic eloquence. He never speaks
without nervously twitching at his gold
watch chain, as if to concentrate himself
by this habit, and his left hand eagerly
sought that talisman when he began the
oratorical fight for the seat of a rival, who
is to him as the buzzard to the eagle. His first
few' sentences were very low, almost in
audible. Soon, however, the resonant.
beautiful, full-throated voice beean to
swell like that tenor note which 'soothed
the souls in purgatory.' He never faltered
in logical precision, never hesitated for
word or phrase, and midway the subtle
statement of cold facts or ingenious quota
tion, he dexterously injected thrilling sen
timents that whirled men's minds into tu
mult and their hands into movements of
applause. And so for one hour he played
the enchanter, reviving the glories of the
olden time, when he swayed his hearers to
and fro as the tempest wantons with the
leaves . As he closed, radiant and appa
rently triumphant, there was an uproar of
cneers.
A correspondent of the Clinton
Caucasian writes from Washington
that after being there for two months
he is satisfied that he was wrong in
his advocacy of the Civil Service
law. He says:
"Close observation since that time has
convinced me that the law is not only im
practicable, but an absolute fraud so far as
its operations are concerned. And Why T
Because the President, seeming to fear that
sycophants and fawning hypocrites will
whine that he is not carrying out the Mug
wump idea, a large number of not only in
competent but open and avowed Republi
can partisans are kept in office.
"Many of these, especially those bailing
from the South, are deserters from the
Democratic party for the offices they now
hold. Think of a Democratic President,
whose party is held responsible for the ad
ministration of affairs upon Democratic
principles, attempting to fight the battle oi
Democratic supremacy or Republican mis
rule with an army of enemies and traitors."
The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond State writes of the
Blair bill:
"Business is piling up so rapidly in both
branches of Congress that an education bill.
even if reported next week, would have no
chance. The work is far behma, ana a
bill could not be reached this session under
the present rules. The Education Commit
tee will not report a bill. Verily the Blair
scheme seems to be in a pickle, and some
members of the House are consequently
sad, and others are as happy as claims at
high tide."

The case of W. M. Bruce against W. H.
Bernard was finally brought to a close on
yesterday. The suit was for three thou
sand dollars damages, and based on an al
leged violation of a contract which Mr.
Bruce claimed he had made with the de
fendant. At the January term of the court,
Mr. Chas. M. Stedman, counsel for de
fendant, filed a demurrer to the evidence
which was sustained by Judge Connor, but
on a motion for a new trial the case was by
consent again placed on the docket to be
tried on its merits. It was called on Satur
day and finished yesterday afternoon the
jury finding a verdict for the defendant in
a few minutes after retiring.

strong and interesting. The plaintiff was
