THE DEFAULTING PAYMASTER. — Paymaster General Brown has ordered a thorough tnspec- tion into the matter of Paymaster Nelson’s sup- posed defalcation. This investigation 1s being made in New York. THE BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT IN GEORGIA 13 illustrated by an incident just rurnished at the Department of Justice, Marshal Fitzsimmons, as is well known, is a democrat. THis bondsmen were all democrats. The marshal is a Norwood man, and several of his boudsmen were sup- porters of Colquitt. On account of their alffer- ence in candidates the Colquitt bondsmen requested the Department of Justice that they be relieved from the bond. This was done, sua Marshal Fitzsimmons has had to come to the city and make up another bond of Norwood democrats, The marshal has retaliated by dis- charging one or two Colquitt men under him and reducing the salaries ot several others, REVENUE OFFICERS FIRED ON BY VIRGINIA MoonsHineRS.—The internal revenue bureau has recelved a report from Collector Rives which would indicate that in southwestera Vir- pate the moonshine spirit {s abroad as fully as in western Georgia. A lew days ago Supervl- sing Deputy Collector Latham, of Collector Rives’ district, learned that several parties from Shooting creek and Runnut Bay creek, near the dividing line of Floyd and Franklin counties. were retailing: sas od in the woods near Fioyd Court House. He organized a posse, but Was unable to do anything, owing to the dense overgrowth. The next ‘day, with the same posse, nine in number, armed with pistols only, he started out under the lead of a trusty guide with a view of de- Stroying an illicit distillery which the guide had discover Upon reaching Martin's Mi, seven iniles from Floyd Court House and three miles from the distillery, the party dismounted and traveled afoot, leavin: the horses in charge of one of their number. he illicit distillery was destroyed. Before a } iif inile In return had been passed the party was fired upon at .a dis. Lance of about 30 yards by a number of men Secreted in the woods. This tlre was kept up Whenever the raiders came in sight. The bullets sometimes struck very near, and in one or two instances within a foot of those aimed at. The skirmish was continued until the horses were reached. The posse - Shielded themselves while making to their horses by wading in creeks and keeping behind ledges of rocks. ‘They were compelled to mount hurriedly, while the bullets whizzed around them. They ran the gauntlet of a hot fire, which came from the cliffs on both sides. Al- together there were about fifty men scattered along, who engaged in the fight, and about 179 shots were fired by them. The raiding party fired a single shot. It was aimed at a man who came within seventy-five yards, and fired at the guide from behind a tree. It was only a pistol Shot, aud did no damage. Collector ‘Rives, in forwarding the report, says:—‘*I have to call attention to the armed resistance met with, and to stafe that the illicit distillers of this section are a dangerous set of inen, and have on two previous eceasions made similar demonstra- ons.” PErsoNAL.—Hon.

Silv er for Gold. The following circular was to-day issued by Secretary Sherman :—“ Until further'notice the assistant treasurer at New York will pay out at his counter standard silver dollars or Sliver certificates in sutas of $10, or any mui- Uples thereof, in exchange for like amotnts of gold coin or gold bullion deposited with him. Upon the receipt by the treasurer of the United States, in this city, of an original certificate of deposit Issued by the United States assistant treasurer at New York, statfug that there has ‘been deposited with him gold coin or gold bul- lion in the sum of $10, or any multiple thereof, payment of a like amount in standard silver dollars or silver certificates at the counter of any U.S. assistant treasurer designated by the . rT Will be ordered.” he above Circular Is intended to supply cu. demand for notes, which Is greater now than can be conveniently supplied, owing to the way in which United States and national bank notes are scattered.

THEIR POSITION THIS YBAR IN RELATION TO THE DIFFERENT PARTIES—WHAT ONE OF THEIR LEADERS SAYS—THE WAY THEY WERE TREATED BY THE DIFFERENT CONVENTIONS—THE GREEN- BACK LABOR CONVENTION GAVE THEM THE MOST CONSIDERATION. The advocates and friends of woman suffraze having apparently arrived at widely different conclusions concerning the present status of that question in the various political parties, and the most effective method of advancing the rights of women during the present presiden- tial campaign, THE Star recently toterviewed Mrs. Sara Andrews Spencer, of Washington, for maby years a member and an officer of th National Woman Suffrage Association, to as certain her views on these points. This lady attended the republican, greenback-labor and democratic presidential conventions, for the express purpose cf learning how each of these parties regarded the enfranchisement of women. Star:—“Mrs, Spencer, what 18 your opinion regarding the treatment the republican preai- dential convention extended to woman suffrage er and guests and to that question gen- eral eral “The republican convention Ars. Spencer. collectively and individually treated our dele- gates with Kindness and courtesy. During the séven days of that convention I did not hear one sneer or unkind word concerning the rights of women, but on every hand expressions of approval and also of regret at, what, seemed to them the danger of introducing a question that might divide the party. can party has passed the day when it dares to make an issue befor the American people. And So It bas gone before the country entirely upon its bistorv. ‘The convention meant to give us a general kindly impression of their good will toward us, They gave us ten seats as “dls- tinguished guests,” forty balcony seats, and no end of promises for the future, but entreated us Not to press our question upon the convention at this critical time, reminding us that all that had been done for the rights of women in the past had been done by the republican party, and we ought to trust no other.” Star-—“How does their candidate, Garfield, stand on that question?” airs, Spencer:—“In what he considers an at- Utude of respectful inquiry. He has never been upon any committee in the House where it has been under consideration until the last sesston of Congress, and he then voted for a committee on the rights of women citizens, saying that it Was a huge question of human rights, and we had a right to demand its consideration.” Star:—“Are woman suffragists working for the election of Gartieid?” Mrs. Spencer. ; I do not know of one Who feels it her duty to work fora party that has bee thoroughly educated on our question; Knows we have the right to self goverment, ard dares not make the issue in its platforin in behalf of one half of the nation. If it dares not stand by us now, 1U has no right to expect us to heip it into power agatp, as we did In isi2, 1 recommend silence toward that party.” fav:—“Hiow did the other presidential con- Yentions treat woman suffrage?” Airs, Spencer:—“The greenback labor con- vention and the prohibition convention elected and received women as delegates on equal terms with men; piaced them on committees; allowed full, fair opportunity for the discussion cf the question, avd adopted square woman suffrage resolutions, The greenback labor con- vention gave ilve of our woman suffrage dele- gates all the time they wanted to address the convention, and after hours of debate adopted by a vote of 525 to 124 a resolution declaring that ‘every citizen of sound mind, proper age. abd nota felon, should be fully enfrauchised,’ and at daylight next morning another pledging res to ‘secure the right of suffrage to women by constitutional amendment.’ ” ‘ar:—“But that party is small, and needs your help.” rs. Spencer So does the republican par- ty and the democratic need our help, as large as they are, and they dare not say so, and fight for our rights. All honor to a new party that dares to demand equal rights for women at the very beginning. But it was not a sinall con- vention. It had more delegates than elther the republican or democratic, and each man dared do nisduty. If it dares to vote In the same manner 1t will be strong enough to defeat both the other parties,” Star:—*But did the democratic party ignore your question? We hear that several of your leading woman suffrage advocates have taken the fieid for Hancock?” Airs, Spencer:— The ladies themselves deny {ttotally. The democratic convention treated us handsomely, and quite impressed some of our delegates with apparent frieudiiness to our rights, but they quite left the subject, out of their platform, and the whole r: ‘dand ali the principles of that party are against ax. ‘Tuey will give Us any amount of chivalry to the end of time and not an atom of justice.” Siar:—“ Do the officers and members of the National Woman Suffrage Association agree with your conch nS?”” Mrs. Spencer:—" The leading officers do not. They ignore the greenback and prohibition en- dorsement of woman suffrage, and proclaim a aw defeat. I declare a victory, and would have our ten million of women ctiizens rouse themselves, and with voice and pen. songs and banners stir the masses to sweep into power the party of equal rights to men aud won: Thave. therefore, resigned my position as co responding secretary of National Womai trage Assoclation and corresponding editor of its ohtef organ, The National Ciizen, Cat T may work Independently, and state the truth to the country as I see It.” You see the repubil- No Fusion in Virginia, FAILURE OF THE COMPROMISE NEGOTIATION. ‘The letter of the Virginia conservative com- Infttee to that of the readjusters, accepting t latter's plan for a primary elec‘fon, and subm! Ung certain amendments to said plan, has been made public, In it the committee s: “We regret that your committee did not accept the pas of compromise which we submitted to you in deference to the decree of many of. our peo- ple of all shades of opinion on local issues, but We share in the disposition which you deciare, Lot to ‘perpetuate strife between the supporters of Hancock and English,’ and stand ready to meet you in any fair, honorable and just terms of reconciijation aud concession, which shall clearly end unequivocally maintain the prin- ciples enumerated and the nominees presented by the Cincinnatt convention of the national democrecy. We propose to amend the third sec- fon of the plan of conciliation subinitied by your committee, so as to require that none bat legal voters, who are national democrats, shall participate in the election. Gen. Hancock ahd Mr. English were nominated by a regular demo- cratic Convention. The delegates who shared in their nomination were all democrats. N democrat can fittingly object to en J the Selection of those who are to be entrusted with Casting the popular vote for the democratic nomirées to their brother democrats alone. We by no means wish to exclude any person, of Whatever political profession, from voting for Hancock and English. On ‘the contrary, we Welcome all who wish, in good faith, to support them. But party fealty, prudence and uuvary- ing custom alike, require that representatives oF the party be chosen Le members of the party. Some of the members of the party which your committee represents have publicly declared that, in their opinion, a majority of the Virginia democrats are in sympathy with them. We cannot see that they can object to the test of a democratic primary election, which would only result, if they be correct, in vindicating their Judgment. We invoke the test.” The readjusters committee was in session un- il 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when they sent their reply to the foregoing: The reply Sets forth that the readjusters’ committee can- not consistently submit to any arbitration less potent than that of the people of Virginia, Sig- Lal failure had attended every effort to secure the popular endorsement of the first proposition pee id ce poneeesative committee (the n ectoral ticket plan.)

The chier marshal, Dr. P. H. Helskell, was fully altve to the occasion, and his aides and heralds were not found wanting. Tne following prizes to be contested for aud awarded to the successful knights by the lady judges: Sliver plicher, gob- lets, saddle and bridle aud whip. The tliting Was most creditable, and the whole scene pic- turesque and charmitig. On the Judzes stand I noticed the following ladies: New Orleans; Mrs. Ives, of 3 Dr. and Mrs. L.
