ALEXANDRIA, YLSATURDAY EVENING, MAY 30.

ACCORDING TO Mr. Randall, the adminis¬

tration will support, to the extent of its

I .gitimate power, the plank in the national

democratic platform relating to the tariff.

If that be so it is all the revenue tariff men

in the country expect, but no more; for that

plank declares, as plainly as words can ex¬

press, for a revenue tariff, and for only such

incidental protection as such a tariff can

afford. Indeed Mr. Randall, himself, much

a* he fa\ored a high tariff in the last Con-

g ess is on record as expressing the delib¬

erate opinion that a tariff imposed for pro¬

tection only, (as is the case with the exist¬

ing tariff on many of the necessaries of life)is unconstitutional and agaiust the spirit of

froe institutions. The Constitution givesCongress the power to impose duties upon

imports, but it does so upon the plainly ex¬

pressed condition that that power must be

exercised only for the purpose of paying thedebts and providing for the public defence;aud nowhere does it sanction a tariff that

increases the protils of a few rich manufac¬

turers at the expense of all the other peo¬

ple of the country. Alt tariff* are unjust,inasmuch as they mu*t of necessity operateunequally, the burden falling upon those

least able to bear it, but a revenue tariff is

the nearest approach to what should be the

democratic doctrine of free trade lhat is now-

attainable, and the democracy of those who

oppose such a tariff may well be questioned.The statement that the last act of the

caucus of the republican Senators was to

resolve that they would oppose the con¬

firmation of any democratic partisan who,during the Senatorial recess, might be ap¬

pointed because his predecessor was an

"offensive partisan," or who had caused the

removal of a republican, mav be correct,but need not give the democratic appointeesany uneasiness, for the good and sutiicientreason that every republican Senator, ex¬

cept the two from Virginia, expects to have

some of his personal friends either retaiuedin or appointed to office by the administra¬

tion, and as reasonable creatures they couldentertain no such expectation if they reallyintend to aulanoni/.e it in the matter of the

appointment of its own friends.

The course of Messrs. Garland and La¬mar as Cabinet ministers, that is if report*from Washington be true, is inexplicable,as it is at direct variauce with what thosemostlamiliar with their past history had beennaturally led to expect. ludeed some oftheir recent acts and reported words not

unnaturally revive memories of PostmasterGeneral Key, who weut tagging about thecountry with the fraud Hayes apologizingfor having been a Confederate, thereby im¬pugning either his own sense or his sin¬cerity.

TRTAL OF CLUVEBIUS.In the Cluverius trial yesterday three or

four witnesses were recalled and questionedupon points in their evidence. The re¬

mainder of the morning session was occu¬

pied in the examination of correspondencebetween Lillian Madison aud Lulu Dun-stan. At the afternoon session a paper wasread in relation to that correspondence tothe effect that the two had correspondedfrom the spring of 1S84 until December 9 ofthe same year.G. W. Quick, a student at Richmond Col¬

lege, testified that he aitended the Moodymeetings iu January last. He saw the pris¬oner at one of the meetings, about nineo'clock at uiglit, but did not remember thedate of the meeting.At this point the defence stated that they

were through with their testimony, withthe exception of oue or two witnesses whowere not present.The prosecution then recalled Captain

Epps, and questioned him as to the accura¬

cy of some statements made by William B.Cluverius, brother of the prisouer. CaptainEpps contradicted the testimony of theprisoner's brother iu a number of essentialpoints.

Calvert Harris, colored, testified to atransaction he had with the prisoner in con¬nection with getting a watch belonging towitue-M from Herman Joel. The prisonermade him pay $2.50 for a magistrate's en¬dorsement on the order for the watch. Sev¬eral other wiluesses were called, but failedto answer, and the court adjourned uutil to¬day.How they Feel..Representative Skin¬

ner, of South Carolina, says his district"embraces a great part of the Atlantic coastof North Carolina. The people there re¬

member very vividly that twenty-four yearsago the republican party came into powerand at once turned out every democratic in¬cumbent of a light-house and replaced himwith a republican. They are simply mysti¬fied, therefore, that, the democratic regimebeing renewed, republicans should still befonnd trimming the light house lamps. Thewonttofit is that to them it appears as ifChese republicans were to keep on trimmingthem. It would not be disagreeable tothem to be practically disabused of thatidea." And so say many others.

Luminous Base Balls..Charles Sheltonthe leading druggist of Bridgeport, Conn.,baa discovered a compound which, when ap¬plied to a base-ball, renders that object lu¬minous. One of the draw backs of playingbase-ball at night under the electric light isthe inability to see the ball when thrown or^batted into the air with the black nightbackground of sky behind it. By saturat¬ing it with Mr. Sbelton's compound the ballwhile Id motion is luminous. Atreat it doesnot give out any light. The illuminatingball retains its meteoric irritation for forty-five minutes. Two or three, therefore,would be required to play a game of nineinnings and several could be kept ill pickleto that end.

The bottle containing the remainder olthe pVisr.ned water which was primarily thecause of ex Secretary Frelinghuysen's deathwas sent to a chemist for analysis, and be¬sides a large quauiity of aconite, alcohol was

found iu it. The theory is that the bottlehad bjen filled without washing and hadbeen used for acouite liniment at some sta

ble. Driukers of all sorts of bottled liquidsrun great risks Careless persons purchasethe same and after drinking the contentsnse the bottles for every purpose before re^

turning them, iu many instances, doubtless,making them the receptacle for bed bugpoison..William Sussack, a cabinot-raakoi, re-

aiding in Brooklyn, secured a patent for a

merry-go-round and for some weeks pasthas been ongaged iu building one at ConeyIsland. Sasiack's wife lias frequently triedto induce htm to forego what she termodhis foolishness aud stick to his trade.About teu days ago, while Sassack was iubed, ehe went to his box where he kept hispapers, contracts, &c., and, taking out itscontents, threw them into the stove andthen told him what she had done. She was

much mortified, however, when her husband informed her that he had had $100 in

greenbacks iu the bundle she had destroyed.That theie is much reason for the com¬

plaints agaiust the modern jury system isevinced by the following : George Steinson,principal of the public school at Outtenberg, N. J., was receutly sued by JohnDwyer in the Second District Court, JerseyCity. Judge McDermott. rendered judgment against Steinson. The pedagoguefiled an appeal boud. A few days later hecalled at the court and asked to be per¬mitted to see this bond. It was shown him,and he left ostensibly to show it to hiscounsel and promised to return it imme¬diately. Wheu the clerk of the court metSteinson and inquired about the boud thepedagogue, in an insulting manner, replied,"I burned it." He was indicted and triedfor larceny, aud, although the fact was ad¬mitted that the bond had been taken, thejury, to the surprise of the court and prose¬cutor, gave a verdict of not guilty.

NEWS OF THE DAY.The May exports from Baltimore were

valued at $2,403,770.The town council of Plymouth has been

indicted by the grand jury for criminalneglect of their official duties in not keepingthe town in good sanitary condition.

Charles Denby, of Indiana, has been ap¬pointed minister to China, aud James W.Whelpley, of New York, assistant treasurerof the Uuited States. Secretary Manningyesterday dismissed four chiefs of divisions.The Protestant Episcopal Con\eotionof

rested in Baltimore yesterday on a warrantsworn out by Henrietta Andeison, colored,!charging him with outraging her nine-year-1old daughter. The outrage was perpetrateda week ago, but has been kept quiet untilNaylor was captured. The details are par-ticularly revolting, and the girl, who isvery small for her age, is seriously ill fromthe injuries she sustained.

FROM WASHINGTON.18peel*] Correspondence of the Alexandria Gacette. 1

Washington. D. Cm May 30,1886.Mr. Gray, the collector of customs at

Alexandria, is in the city to-day. He saysthe reason he informed the Treasury De¬partment that the inspectorship at that portcould he done away with was the fact thatunder the new shipping law, which onlywent into effect this spring, the duties ofthat position were practically abolished. Hesays, however, that under that law, when¬ever there may be need for an iuspectorthe collector is authorized to employ one

temporarily. Mr. Gray also says that, owingto the reductions in the fees made by thelaw referred to. the collectorship at Alex¬andria is only worth about three hundreddollars a year, but that as the collector isalso the custodian of the public building,under another law it is discretionary withthe Secretary of the Treasury to allow hima sum not exceeding four huodred dollars a

year for performing the duties of the latterposition, and that if his successor will takethe proper steps he will accept the office withthat understanding aud Will consequentlybe entitled to that amount. Sir. Gray also

says the administration seems to be movingvery slowly, for though his term expired a

week ago his successor has not yet been appointed, and that if pleasure or businesscalled him away he would either shut upbis office, or else, as the more respectfulproceeding, turn it over to his deputy andask for leave of absence, as his bond holdshim until relieved by his successor.

Congressman Mills, of Texas, who in a

speech delivered ia the House of Represent¬atives just before the adjournment of thelast session of Congress, spoke of Mr. Cleve¬land as "the republican democratic Presi¬dent," went to the White House and Post-office Department yesterday to see abouthis home postoffice, but cot such short com¬

mons at both that he came away no betterdisposed toward the administration thanwhen lie went.A gentleman from liberty, Bedford coun¬

ty, Virginia, here to day, says that severalpeople in that towu are suspected of coin

plicity iu the recent lynching of young Terry, and that he understands some in the ad¬

joining country don't attempt to concealtheirs, but that it would be daugerous forthe law officers to attempt to arrest them.

It. is learned at the PostoHice Departmentto day that C'ol. L. W. Reid is not an appli¬cant for the postoffice at Alexandria, an was

ireuerally reported both here and in Alex¬andria, and that the only applicants forthat position are Major Herbert, Air. Catonaud Mr. Van Auken, with chances considerably in favor of the former.

It said here by tbo3e who know that a

gieat deal of the blame thai is cast uponthe President for the distribution of thefederal ptronage belongs to certain demo¬cratic members of Congress who, whilereally opposed to the President's conservalive policy in that, respept, and so expressthemselves to their friends, go to the WhiteHouse and llatter him by telling him thHttlint policy is the wisest he can puisuo aridis giving general satisfaction, aud that heneed give himself no concern about t he ad¬verse criticism of certain newspapers, andihat, too, though these papers are tho bestand truest democratic papers in the country.Having given him all the tally he will take,they then a«k either for the retention of a

republican officeholder or the appointmentof an unlit or undeserving democrat, leav¬ing the applications of the working, ellec-tive aud deserving members of their partyto the fatal pigeon-hole.

Col. Robert Bulling, of Petersburg, an old-limeVirginia republican,who is in the city to-

lay, says that he and twenty thousand otheigood and true iepublicans of his State are

grossly insulted by the prevailing impressionthat they believe iu Mahoue's repudiationschemes and accept him as their leader, andthat they will make that fact patent at thenext election. He says that while thestraighout republicans of Virginia have re¬

publican principles, Mahoue is a republicanwith democratic principles. He also saysthat Governor Cameron will support Ma-hone next fall, ami that he only opposeshim now because Mahone is doing what he,Cameron, wants to do.

It is currently reported here that the rea¬

son Mr. Lock wood, chief clerk of the Inte¬rior Department, is retained, is because bisretention is asked by many democraticmembers of Congress. It is also said thatMr. Lockwood knows all about every landgrabbing scheme that has passed throughthat department since it fell into the handsof the republicans.Mr. Stoll, an old and well-known news¬

paper man of Indiana, will, it is said to-day,be made Public Priuter, provided Mr.Rounds, who has strong democratic back¬ing, be removed.The order of the Secretary of War to re-

ase Riel's murderers and incendiaries whocrossed the border and were arrested bythe IT. S. troops, is tho subject of much ad¬verse criticism here.Decoration Day was less observed herean on any previous occasion. Usually

the holiday is general, aud business of allsorts entirely suspended, and there is a

general exodus to soldiers' grave yards or

country resorts. But it was not so to¬day, for most of tho stores, many of thebanks, and even some of the District officeswere open, the streets presented their everyday appearance,and but few people went tothe country and fewer still to the cemeteries.Among t ho employees in the Interior Depart

ment claiming to be from Virginia are fourteenfrom the 4th Congressional district.Mahone's:

the Secretary's office, one messenger. $400; inLaud (>tlico, two clerks, $000 ench ; in the

Pension Office. seven clerks, $900 to $l,800each :the Patent Office, three clerks. $600 to $1,200

ach ; in the Survey Otlice, one clerk, $900. Inthe 2d Congressional district (Libby's) there arethirteen. In the Land Office, one copyist, Ht$000;Pension Office, eight clerks. £000 to $1,000;Patent Office, two clerks, $1,200 to $1,400; Edu¬cation, one clerk, $000; Geological Survey, oneclerk, $1,600.Mr. Deuby, of Indiana, recently appointed

minister to China, is a native of Virginia. Hisfather was of the old business firm of Lancaster,Denby & Co., who in their day were the largestimporting merchants at Richmond.

It is said that two of tho Department clerkshete from Alexandria county, Virginia, Trimbleaud Whalau. tho former, chairman of the Mahonecub of this city, and the latter of the Mahone com¬mittee of his county, have not only been offensivepArtisans in the past, but were so oven iu the.lection just held in their county, but that theyretain their offices all the same.

The Cluverius Trial.Richmond, VTa., May 30..Counsel of both

sides iu the Cluverius murder trial thismorning spent more than one hour iu con¬

ferring over tbe letters found in LillianMadison's trunk, which have not alreadybeen disposed of. An agreement was reach¬ed that instead of putting tbe letters in evi¬dence it should be put on tbe recordthat the deceased and Emmett Will¬iams, of Bath county, wrote to eachother letters of a loving character hetw«en December 1st, 1S84, and March 5,1SS5; that there was no engagement of mar¬riage between them nor any intention ofsuch au engagement; that Williams, who isbut 1!) years of age, thought the correspon¬dence was all in fun, and believed that MissMadison meant it in the same way, and thathe was led to believe so from what she hadsaid.The prosecution then introduced testi¬
