The "Freeman Journal" protests against Irishmen being hastily accused of being the authors of these outrages.

This Is a sort of inverted mllennlum whose great merit consists in being so closo at hand. Mb. Thomas Kobt, formerly a working miner in the north of England, and now member of Parliament, Iisb been making a tour of this country, paying special at tontion to the coal-mining populations in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pencsyl vauia. In many respects he considers that the English miner bas greater cdu cational facilities. Tho preva'acce if the truck system he regards ns a great injustice and he noticed that it flourishes in tho very pUoes where it is probiblted by law. In England I hi employers must pay cash, leaving the employees freo to spend their mousy where they please. As a set-off to the advantages possessed by English miners, Mr. Burt states that iu his travels through this country he did not meet any miners of English birth who wished themselves back In the old country, or any who did not, on the whole, consider tbat they had bettered their condition by coming here. If their position os laborers is not so good as in England their position as individuals is better, as they have .far more opportunities of advancing from the rank of mere laborers to positions of independence. Sr-EAKixa of some conspicuous figures in the lato war, the Boston "Advertiser's'' correspondent in the city of Washington says: "Sherman is 01, and looks older; but the family is hardy, and he is likely to see 1900. Sheridan is only 51; he was a Major-General at 30. McClellan, now a rotund man with bending sbonl ders, bas not changed much of late. Ho is rich, and entertains well in his New York city home. RoSecrats and his wife live, almost unnoticed, on Capitol Hill while he is here as a member cf Congress from California. His complexion is like a youth's and his hair as white as snow, Haw Icy and Logan are tho other two most distinguished Generals in Congress. Both are 57 years old, but neither has gray hair. Rosecrans will be roenforced this winter by an old companion In the Western armies, Gen. Slocum, of Brook lyn. Gen. Sickles is practicing law in New York, and Stoneman is Governor ol California. Fremont Is no longer rich. He and bis wile, Jessie Benton.Fremont, are forgotten In crowded New York, Don unties Jiueii runs an iron furnace in Kentucky; Banks is a United States Marshal. Terry, the youngest of the Brigadiers who won fame in the war, will succeed Sheridan in the command of the army.'1 As Eccentric Clebotman on Suicide One of the delights of the Rev. Thoc K. Beecbcr, of Elmira, is to be different from anybody else. Iu following the dc sire of his heart in this respect.be uttered some remarkable views on suicide. "But to not only confer a good upon one's fel lows, but, which is all the same, to re llevo tbem from trying and unwelcome burdens, a man might rationally die. The Apostle Paul boasts again and again that be wonld nolbe burdensome to any; he rejoices tbat be is able to earn his own living and preach the gospel free. Similarly, when a man or woman has be come hopeless, useless, painful painful a weariness to self and a wearing out of friends it may be an act of supreme considerateness and generosity to step down and out. Wo all recognize and praise the Belf-htlp that prefers to suffer rather than bee. What is the saicide of lonely, helpless, friendless citizen but generous rimoving from among men of i unwelcome nuisancer Autl ye, in spite of the doctrine of this learned min ister of tho gospel, the new penal code of New York State In which he lives pun ishes by fine imprisonment the wretch who has attempted to release himself from wretchedness by snuffling oil las mortal coil. If Bcechcr's dootrino is correct, the now code is rough on the would-be suicide. LAST TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS.

In New York city John Reilly is elect ed Register by a handsome mnjority.and the rest of tho Democratio ticket is also elected. The next Legislature will be Republican in both branches, New Jersey has elected Leon Abbett, Democrat, Governor, by about 7,000 majority. The Legislatnre will have 5 Democratio majority on joint ballot. Iu Massachusetts Ben Butler bas been defeated by Robinson, Republican la Connecticut tbo Republicans bave made some gains, and hare carried tbe lower branch of the Legislature, ai.d a majority of tbe State Seuutcrs elected this year.

Maryland gives a Democratio majority of nbout 12,000; electing Governor and a majority in tbe Legislature of 35. Minnesota goes 25,000 Republican, carrying Governor and Legislature. Nebraska is Republican by from 5000 to C000. Tbe N. Y. Son sums up tbusly: "And now it Is all over, and let everybody be happy.- But tbe Republican party must go."

CnkRKspoif dknt.1 Wasuikoton, D. C Nov. 5, 1883. General Sheridan and his family have takcu possession of their new house here tho onq recently presented to them by the General's wealthy admirers in Chi cago. Tho toadies ot Washington society who are always talking about President Arthur's courtly manners, elo. that class who follow .high officials with their fulsome talk ore now seeking to make General Sheridan the object of their at tention. Ono of tbo local papers quotes a Cnlcago tailor as Baying tint Sheridan has the finest figure of any man he ever fitted. The Sheridan standard of figuro can hardly becomo a fashionable one. Sheridan Is barely fire feet six iuches in height, while be is nearly as broad os be is long. He bns n round bullet bead set dowu between his shoulders without th slightest sign of n neck. His body is long enough for a man bIx feet in height' This naturally leaves his legs a trifle short. He does not need, however, pby. steal beanty to sustain his reputation. It was a strange chance tbat gave Sheri dan his opportunity. A friendless Ohio boy of Scotch-Irish parentage, he had no lnfluenco nnd secured an appointment to West Point through the cbanco favor of General Rltchey, member of Congress from Ohio. Iu tho early part of tho war Sheridan was a mere quarter-master in Missouri. Early in 1802 ho was in Wis conBifl, buyii g horses for tho United States. But soon after ho got under range of Grant's cyo, and be gave him bis opportunity, and opportunity was all Sheridan wantod. He did not marry until some time after the war. His wife is a . daughter of the recently retired Quartermaster General Rucker. Slnco the decision of tbo Supreme Court declaring tho unconstitutionality of the civil rights law the colored citizens of Washington have held many meetings aud listened to many speeches. Colonel "Bob" Iugersoll is talking to them in a very inflammable style, earning much applause from the rabble. But in all the uproar tho fact is particularly noticeable that the educated portion of their race are disposed to acquiesce iu the judg ment of the court and to map out a plan of action for securing the rights and privileges to which they lay claim, A prominent colored lawyer says: ''The time has come when the negro must make up his mind that ho is no longer the ward of the nation, but is to be judged for what be Is, and expected to come up to all the requirements of manhood nnd citizenship just as white men are. We must make our way hereafter without any special privileges under the law, just as whits mcu do. or we will demonstrate that it was a grave mistake to make citi- zons of us at all." Theso are words full of wisdom, and may. bo commended to those, both white and black, who see in the action of the Supremo Court a reason to inflame the passions of the more lg' norant of the colored race, by picturing to tbem unsubstantial horrors and a rc turn to slavery as tbo logical sequence of that decision. Notwithstanding all the talk about cabinet. quarrets and cabinet changes, the only real event at the White House dur ing the last weeK.was tho presentation to lh President Governor Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, and several other gentlemen, of a fine fishing rod, said to be the finest ever made in the United States. The presentation was a pleasing little affair. Governor Knott conveyed his message in witty aud complimentary terms, and after the President bad re. sponded the Governor tdld some of bis best fishing stories. By the way, Mr. Kuott and Librarian Snofford, of the Congressional library, aro preparing n work on wit and humor, embracing se. lections of the funny things in literature, Tho first volime is said to be nearly ready. The hope bas been expressed that Mr. Knott's famous Dnluth speech will be Included iu the collection. Ex- Senator David Davis was in town a few days ago, and those who saw him report that ho has lost none of bis avordupois, He says Blaine is the most popular man iu the Republican party for President. The zoological society organized here in 18701s showing renewed signs of life und is trying to forward a scheme, favored by officers connected with the Smithson ian Institution, for the establishment of a zoological garden at the capital. The Potomao flats or some portion of tbe public grounds are suggested for the lo cation, and Congress is to be asked to make an appropriation lortue olij.-ot. JAM I'KDBO. Oun Reoulab Letter.J Washington. D. O., Nov. ,3, '83 Tho formal transfer of tho command of tbe Army from Gen. Win. T, Sherman to Lieut. Gen. P. II. Sheridan, took place at noon yesteiday nt the headquar ters of tbe Army'iu tbe War Department building. Gtn. Sheridan spent the forenoon in making himself acquainted with the business of tbe office. Gen. Sherman and the members of bis staff rendered him every assistance. Shortly before 12 o'clock the two highest officers df tho nrmy called on the Secretary of War, Gen. Sherman to take official leave and Gen. Sheridan to report for duty. The transfer was accomplished quietly and without any ceremony whatever, be yond the Issuance of general orders, noti fying the army of the change of Cpm- manders. Tbe State Department bas been rather bard up for something to do of late, and if some distinguished foreigner does not come to Washington soon for Secretary Frtlinghuyseu to present to the President tbo Secretary will go off Into a gentle melancholy. Oue clerk, with the occas. ional assistanse of a small boy, oonld at' tend to all the diplomatic business of this department, and get off Saturday at 12 o'clock. There Is very little else ex cept diplomacy to employ tbe time of Seoretary Frelinghuysen and his trnsty clerks. But Secretary Chandler is as busy as an ant all tbe time. He Las just written a letter to Commodore Mayo of the Norfolk Navy Yark, in regard to the Mabone-Mayo-McQIensey affair, which he declines to give to the public. It is supposed to be a stern admonition to civil service reform. The difference be tween assessing the navy yard employes now aud before the law prohibiting as sessments was passed is like tbe diflVr ence in the conduct of tbe man who be fore be was converted, went into the woods on Sunday with bis axe over bis ahnnlrlrr, but after he bad joined tbe oburch carrlod hi axe nndrr hit coat, List year 'assessments were collected in- side tbe navy yard; now the colleotoi stand outside the Rate. The heads of the different departments nro now figuring on their estimates for tho next fiscal year. Not enough ' is known to slate positively whether tbey will urgo nn incrcaso or not. It .is be lieved however, tbalthcro will bo a small total increase, but very little over previ ous years. Secretary Teller yesterday forwarded bis estimates to tbe Secrctnry of tho Treasury. He would not state what tbo figures were, but added tbat they were far less than the estimates for previous ycrs. The Postmaster General and bis subordinate division heads mot yesterday afternoon and considered tho same question, but could not agree. It Is stated that tbe disagreement hinged upon a proposed increase of tho appro priation for the railway mail servics, but this is not positively known. Tbe est! mates from tbe Interior department are the first yet forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury, but other members of tbe Cabinet are said to bo figuring on tbo same matter. The Commissioner of tbe General Land Office, Hon. N. C. Mo Farland, in bis annual report to tbe Seo retary of the Interior, states that the dis posals of publlo lands during the year embraced 19,030,709, acres, aud of In dian lands 399,235 acres. This amount was an increase over 1882 of about five million of acres, and over 1881 of about eight million acres. The receipts from all rcsourees in connection with the dis posals of publlo lands were $11,083,179,' 43 and from sales of Indian lands $025,- 401.27; a total of $11,713,853.70. Tbe extent to which building opera- lions have been' carried on in this city during tbo past season has been unpre. eedented. The books show that from Ian. 1st to Sept. there were 1,318 permits issued for erection of buildings, which represent a total value of ?3;133,'0C1 This aditition to tho material wealth ol Washington is n substantial evidence ol tbe growth oi tbe nation's capital August. Our New York Letter. Regular eorreiponaence of Advooatk. New York, Nov. C. 1883. It is curious to know what an election costs in this city. In conversation with a life long managing politician the other evening, I was told that both tho Republican nnd Democratio parties this year would require each but little less than $200,000. It costs ten dollars iu each of the 050 odd election districts to handle the tickets. Besides there are the costs of booths, posters, etc.&Tbece are only the strictly legitimate expenses. This yiar Tammany assessed tbe can dldates for Supreme Court Judgeships $15,000 each. The other organizations assessed theirs $10,000 each. Tho can didate for Register Is assessed $15,000 by Tammany. Then for others tbe as sessment is lower, as low as $500 for a candidate fur Assembly in some districts. The number of bal lots printed for the different parties falls little short of a hundred millions; Itt Presidential yoars the cost is' 6f course much higher. i , This is the season of the year when' the. Adventurer comes back to town am! pre-' pares for tho winter's campaign. Some of the devices resorted to by these. worth ies that live by their wits ure really re markable, and if exercised by these ad venturers, if directed into legitimate channels would make tbem itch and prosperous in almost any undertaking. I came across a queer case the other day. A lady whose husband bad recentl)dled, leaving her in not exactly affluent cir cumstances, was looking for something to do to increase her income. Ono day she noticed an advertisement in a certain paper, in which tbe advertiser desired a lady as partner in a dressmaking busi ness, she to manage the borne ilij nrt menl, while be proposed to travel about and drum up trade. Tbe lady answered it, requesting the advertiser to call at bcr bouse. It might be added that tbe huly in question Is a flue stately woman, of superb figure and as clever as she is good looking. The same day a hatchet faced Individual with a strangely foxey look called. After a few minutes conversation the lady noticed that tbe 'business be pro posed was not entirely tbat of making dresses. At least she judged so from the guarded and at the same time signifi cant manner in whloh be spoke. Her curiosity being aroused she encouraged him, and then be unfolded his plan. It was no less than a scheme to inn a ladies gambling bouse, tbo dressmaking busi ness to be a cloak for it. He grew quite entbusinstlo as he unfolded his project, "Why," said he, "every great European capital like Paris, St. Petereburp. Lon don and Berlin, bave establishments of this kind. New York is unprovided. The income of such a place Is enormous, You are just the woman for this business. I see by your looks tbat you have execu tive ability, and it will be your business to get such men as Vanderbilt, Jay Gould and others under your control so that you can call on tbem for a check of $1,000 or $5,000 at any time." Tbe lady is a Southern wrman, and therefore hot tempered. When he was through she opened tbe duor and ex claimed "get, and tbank your stars that I do not throttle you, you villian, to in suit me in this manner." Sbe afterwards regretted that she bad not quietly sent for a policeman and bad blm arrested, to prevent him from earring out bis nefarl ous plan. A yery amusing incident is going the rounds In literary circles, though strange to say it has not yet found its way into print. -There is an Authors Club in this city, of which Ricbard Grant White is the President and Mr. DeKay Secretary. Now as everybody knows Riohard Gran White has an idea there is nobody like Mr. White, and in fact is convinced that the literary solar system revolves about blm. Last week it was resolved by the club to give a reception to Matbew Am old at Mr. White's honse. Mr. White thought this a fine opportuulty to mak capital and sent out written notes of iu vltation to Mr. Arnold and others.slgned by himself, not as President of the club, and so worded as to give the impression that bo was giving the reception. few days afterwards Mr. DeKay tbe Sec retary, sent out regular printed Invila lion. Tbls must bave offended Mr. White, for when on tbe evening tn ques tion tbe Authors marched up to tbe bouse in Seventeenth Street tbey were politely informed by the servant that Mr. While wis not iu, and lhal to far ns a roccpll n j was concerned, she knew nothing of t. Then the Authors moved homeward In a very melancholy majner. It Is not. known whether Mr. Arnold cure. If bs did bo must have been vety favorably impressed with American hospitality, and particularly with tho manners of tho ereat authority on American mnnncrs. It is uuderatood that Mr. Bennett is shortly expected back from Europe, be cause the UsnALD's war ngalnst the news dealers is progressing in anything but n satisfactory manner. I was talking with nn old Herald man abgut the affair the other day, and conversation turned upon tho extraordinary manner in which "the young man" is puffing Mr. Williams, who is conducting tbe war for the paper. Said be "if Williams has a level head he will resign from the paper the moment he hears that 'the young man" is at San dy Hook, for otbeiwise he will bo de capitated or sent to report fires at space rates. That is Bennott's habit bo raises n man so high and makes so much of him ns to almost make bis hend turn, then he knocks theooncelt out of him by degrading him to the ranks of ordinary reporters. Ho has always dono this. Look ut poor Sam Glenn, ono of Ihe brightest men on tbo staff, and who worked with the elder Bennett. When ho was racked with consumption and scarcely able to walk tbey put him to ro porting. It was a pitilnl sight to see tbo old man walking about. It was relief to one's sensibilities when tbo old man died. Mnpltson expects to give Abbey the 'coup de araee' when Patti arrives. She will reach this port to-morrow and will niake her debut on Friday night iu L GazzaLadra. It is now generally ,uu derstood that the new Metropolitan Opera House is a gigantlo failure. It is now a question to shvo what can bo saved by a reduction of prices ofndmisslon, but with the expenses at $12,500 a night 11 is bard to see. bow any money enn be made. Of course this will necessitate Mr. Vanderbilt's going down into bis pockets, and making good tho deficits, Hence nobody will weep over tho affair, Henry Irving nnd Miss Terry were the cynosure of ull eyes on Fifth Av enne last Sunday. Tho lady however dresses Iu very bad taste. She Is tbin as a rail, and is evidently trying to conceal this sparsencss of natures gifts by au nbund nnce of clothes which leaves her without any figure nt all. Tbe proposed walking match between Rowell nnd Fitzgerald will not take place until December. Rowell is no: very well, nnd bis training in conse quent is very light. Hue tie Spiral Stairs.
