Reams* Norton. f > there in a cer tain well founded Washington report that "certain Republican leader* nre contemplating l>avid I'.tvis for the next Republican candidate for President, with a view of uniting the "Stalwart and "Half-breed" (action* upon a man who not only has not been allied to either, but stands quite out-ide the party fold which incloses those irrecon ; cilable antagonisms. A political wise acre at our elbow, who predicted < ten eral Garfield's nomination at Chicago in J I*Bo weeks before the convention met, says all indications point to -Judge I'.tvi* I nomination by the Republican* next year, and claim* to have information ! that the I'*vis boom i* being quietly worked up. Of course such a nomina tion arguea great despond-'ney on the Republican party politician*. "ther wi*e they would never touch a man of .ludge I>avis' independence and free | dom from partisan bia*. The fact i* they *re despondent —never more so— and are reaching the conclusion it may he I'avis or nobody. It i* not an un reasonable view. The',Republican party ha* never been in'such a i.tinority in this country since it* first succession on the national field as it i* to day. More I than that, it is divided into wrangling factions who hate each other with an intensity that no truce is po.-ihle but a hollow and unreal one. The party ha* lost its old aggre*;venes and doe* not represent live idea*. There was a great deal of political force in war ani 1 mosities. but they exi*t no longer. The single principle that vilalizes the orgs nidation is love of power and patronage, and it ha* come to pa* the.e are ele ments of di*cord and weakness. Rut there is no disguising the fact the party managers are keen witted and especial ly fertile at expedient*, bence it is the nomination of .fudge I'svis i* not at all unlikely. In a certain way he fill* the present bill of Republican want* in the matter of a national candidate. To •ucceed next year, the Republican* must make great gains.. For I'emo cratic succesa it is only necessary we ■hould hold our own. The Norfolk Contest. sr tl. l. civil, sxav.rg Rrroau nr. rvAi.ro roa hahonr's bexkutT An election for local offices in Nor folk county, Va., will take place on May 'JO. Mr. I'ezendorf, a member of i the last Congress, is a candidate for treasurer, having been nominated by a regular Republican convention, called in the nsual way, in which every town ship was represented. Thia movement diapleased Mahone, who inaists that the Republican organization shall disband and serve a* a tail to his Readjuster kite. He publicly claims to have the aupportof the National Administration in thia policy. Mr. I'ezendorf recently published a statement, charging that Mahone had come to Norfolk and summoned a con ference of the collector, the postmaster, the foreman of the navy yard, and other officeholders. It was decided at that meeting to levy an assessment of two per cent, on the salaries and pay of all Federal employes, and to use thia fund to defeat the Republican ticket. Mr. I'exendorf ia a native of New York, who haa resided for twenty years in Norfolk, and haa held many reapon sible offices. He ia a Republican in good standing, and has been conspicu ous as an opponent of the bargain and •sale with Mahone, by the terms of -which 85,000 Republicans were to sur render their distinctive political char actcr to 33,000 Kepudiators. It will soon be known if the Admin istration has iCtively or passively sanc tioned tho alleged assessments on the 4/ficebolders at Norfolk. Mr. I'ezen. dorf hns taken care to lay tho facts before the President anil the members of tho Cabinet in away that the in formation cannot be ignored. Tho charge was mado at the very time tho Administration was wrestling 1 with the civil service rules, which have been officially adopted. The first two of them forbid coercion of the political action of any person in Government service by any official. They forbid in terference with elections and contrihu 1 tions to any political fund. I These rules are made to carry out the ' act of the last session relating to the | civil service. It is true that the law > will not take efTect for two months to j come, hut it is morally as obligatory j to-day on the I'rcsulont and hi* Admin i istration, by their action on the new rules, h* it will he on the Ist of July. It Mahone he allowed to find shelter behind the technical fact that the act of Congress has not yet gone into ope ration, and, therefore, his arbitrary a* sessmont* do not violate it. the evasion will not profit those who tolerate it. Public opinion, expressed in the most emphatic form, has condemned thi* j practice, and ha* driven llubhell and ! hi* associates into hopeless exile a* a ; just penalty for their extortions.—.V. 1". .Vim. IN a letter to Secretary .Teller, Sena tor Van Wyck, of Nebraska, has per formed lor the • iovernment ami people a timely and important service in ex posing the fraudulent processes of a railroad land grant job. Twelve years ago, in the midst of the period when Credit Mobilier Congressmen were | squandering the public domain in every direction, the New iirleans. Raton j Rouge and Yicksburg Railroad Com j pany obtained a large grant, with the i condition that the company "shall com | plete the whole of said road within five I years from the passage of the net.'' j expired and not even a sur | vey was made, and, Senator Van Wyck i | says, "the only act was to i-mo and dis- i tribute bonds among the patriot* who were intent on developing the country. ' Four year* more, and not a mile wa* constructed or even definitely located. In I**o this defunct corporation emerges with an alia* as the New < 'rlean* Pacific Company and lays claim to the immense grants of land long since for feited. 'I he syndicate controlling the company ha* obtained an opinion from the Law I'epartmenk of the Govern nient that the company is entitled to the grant. Rut the wide awake and public spirited Senator from Nebraska j call* the attention of Secretary Teller to the fact that the title to the l.an-l is not valid without tho action of Con gre*. So the syndicate of speculators laying claim to this land under the for feited grant of a dead corporation would : gain nothing by any certification of the i secretary of the Interior beyond de ceiring innocent parties into | urchasing bonds and land warrant* that are worthless. With this warning it is not likely thst Secretary Teller will recog nize any title to the public domain in the New I'r'.eans Racitic Company, and when Congre** meet* the grant will Re declared forfeited. I'hn't 10ml. Sale of Hip New f ork "World." Nrw Yoai, May Mr. William Henry Hurlbert, President of the Pre* Publishing I'ompany, completed today the transfer of the entire property of the World newspaper to Mr. Jooeph Pulitzer, of the St. Louis l'r>it TKtpat ' Hr. Hurlbert will announce this in the World to morrow morning, and th* first number of the World under the edito 1 rialchargaof Mr. Pulitzer will be itied on Friday morning.

Mr. ■fay Gould, in thus disposing of his en tiro interest in the Il'orW, is carrying 1 out the policy before announced of closing out hi holding* generally, ex cept in railroad and telegraph proper ties, preparatory to hi tour around the world. It i* understood to be the pur pose of Mr. Hurlbert to sail for F'urope shortly, and in that case it may be ex pected that he will take tho opportuni' ty afforded by hit leisure to inspect the places in Great Rritain which have re ceived the attention* of Mr. Robert P. Porter, and to review tho account* given by tho latter from tho standpoint of a tariff for revenue only. ♦ A llrothcr's Noble Nacrlflce. Locisvft.Lt, Ky„ May 10.—Governor Rlackhurn today pardoned -lames 8. Hixetnore, who was sent to the peniten Gary from Clay county in IHSO for *ix year*, charged with murder. It i *aid that Sizemoro mado no defense, hi* brother, a man with a largo family, be ing the real criminal. Kiremore volun tarily took tha odium and penalty on himself for tho take of hi* brother and hi* family. The brother, when dying recently, declared bia guilt, and gave •tmh proofs of the truth of the confes sion that tha Governor at once issued a pardon when the fact* were made known to him. The Stale Legislature. An impresnion appears to be extant tli>t tbo lower Home of the General Assembly of tbo state is very tuueb be hind with its business, while the Senate hits made rapid progress with its share, and is ready for adjournment at any time. The fact that the so-called great newspapers of tho state were never more badly represented at llarrisburg than this winter, and that their editors in-chief are almost to a man bent upon misrepresenting tho Democratic party, is mainly responsible for this. The truth is tliut no house of Represent#- lives has ever in the history of the state accomplished so much and such good work in the same length of time. The Senate, it is true, is a dignified body of capable gentlemen, who have been creditably attentive to their duties, and have gotten along admirably with their own measures. It must be remembered, however, that of tho Senators but twenty-five are fresh from the people, so to speak, while of the House, the entire two hundred and one members come within tiiut category, and as a matter in consequence the relative I amounts of new work assigned by the I people to the two Houses respectively is about in that proportion. I'nder these I circumstances it was of cour-e much easier for a small body, more than half of whose members had at least two years experience in legislation, to get through with its smnll share, than for the large body, unwieldy because of its si/\ ami composed almost wholly of men newly come to tho duties of law making, to rid itself of its proportion. Then, the constitution requires that appropriation ami revenue lolls shall originate in the House. These are really tiie most important of HJ the legislation. And the House lias already passed finally all the state nppropria. lions, or appropriations to purely stale institutions. And it will have all the others disposed of, so tar as it is con rerned, s well as all the revenue bills' inside, probably, of the coming week. Besides all this, the great I ulk of tin legislation ranking next in importance originated this yenr in House tolls. '1 lie three apportionment bills, the labor legislation, the .Jenkins license bill, the < Amendment, the Sweeney uniform ballot bill, the Philadelphia Recorder repeal bill, and a score o( others we cannot just now call to mind are among this number. These ate either in the hands of the senate, or finally disposed of by the House. The -•••nate still has most of those which have gone to it under consideration cither in committees or on the calen dars none of them in a very advance i stage. The Recorder bill is the only one of thern all that has finally passed the Senate. There are very many bills in the House calendars that have not been reached, and probably will not he. A number of these are important to Ibis seciion or that, or this interest or that. N evertlftb •, the stale could far better afford an adjournment without the passage of the Senate billa still in the House, than without that of the House hills now in the senate or to go there this week. from now on the House will be engaged mostly with local or special legislation. The Senate, on the other hand, will have all it ran do to dispose of the grsvely important matters that have been sent in from the House. Both bodies have done good work, the House the better, if anything of the two, and this is the moat re markable, we repeat, Because of its un wieldiness as to the si/e and the inex perience of most of its memlw-rs. ' si on I.taitr. Co-Operating wlfli (rook. tiir sums moors i nitino with hi* in' tits sbsrcii roa a rami*. Ai.Ht ntiayi a, X. M.. May ll.—Colo nel I'nda, chief of staff of (ieneral | Kuero, of the Chihuahua army, who is in HI Paso, states that the movement of (leneral Crook acrosa the Meximn liorder is not only approved by his gov ernment, but that (ieneral Kuero has instructions to take the field in charge of the troops stationed in Chihuahua to cooperate with (ieneral Crook in the grand Apache round up. A line of the combined forces is lieing drawn around the savages that it will he impossible for them to break through. Coloeel I'nda believes that the blow struck this time will end in the utter snnihilation of the raiding Apaches. The soldiers of the sister republic are anxious to t>e led against the enemy, and under (ien eral Kuero, who has the name of being an Indian fighter, they hope to do good work. The fact of General Crook being in ((Id Mexico is not regarded by the Mexican Government as in violation of the treaty between the two countries, his movements having previously been arranged by the authorities of both countries. Upon General Crook's arri val at the .Sierra Madres the Mexican troops will move in connection with him. Information just received from Haokberry, Arixona states that the llu alapei Indians have been undergoing the rno>-1 horrible sufferings lately fro in hunger and disease, tho small pox httv ing killed soiiio fifiy of their tribe. The others are fleeing to tiie mountains, in tho hope of escaping. San Kkask isco, May II. —A dispatch from Hertnosillo, Mexico, elated l()tb, says : Colonel Torre*returned last night from the Sierra Madres. He pursued the Apache* twenty day* anil finally found tliom entrenched in the strong , holds of the mountains, lie attacked j the Indian* with three hundred troops, j and flanking theui charged them in the rear at tho point of tiie bayonet arid succeeded in dislodging them. The In dians fled, leaving eleven killed. five soldiers were killed and eight slightly {wounded. Colonel Torres says the Apaches were armed with repeating ! rifles and fought savagely. He think* the Indinn troubles in Sonora are ended. 'The troops returned to 'iuayina* with : the wounded and to obtain fresh rations. ' The Colored Voter Becoming I test less. The call for a great convention of colored men to bo held in this city next September is an indication of the rest 1 essness of the race under tiie condi tions surrounding him. The represeti lative men who sign the call say that it ! { is "an undeniable and lamentable fact j ! tlint the present condition of the ra> • | is insecure, ami the future -till more alarming." The distinct charge is made I that six and a half million of people at* without representation in Congress, i snd do not g.-l their share of executive j patronage and encouragement. ' >th.r ■ and even more serious charges are | made, and finally the callers say that "According to the signs of the times, tiie country IS on tiie - ve of a great po liticsl revolution, arid it behooves u-, a a race, to ni ike our interests paramount to those of any party or sect ; that it is our duty to unite and trike out some bold policy and line of action which will brmg us nearer to the estate i f full citizenship and power when this great revolution is over.
