The democrats do not believe that the masses 'in the north can be stirred again by sectional appeals. An Ohio democrat said to-day: “If the Ohio canvass is fought ont in accordance with Sena- tor Sherman’s keynote it will so disgust many, members of that party that they will stay away from the polls. Sectionalism was buried in Gen, Grant’s grave. Why, at the recent grand army reunion ex-confederates were pres ent by special invitation. ‘The people of Ohio consider the war over, and if the republicans make their fight on old war issues we will beat them certain.” Other democrats talk in the same strain. “They do not conceal thelr gratifi- cation at what they consider a blunder on the part of the republican leaders of Ohio and iowa, —__+e+____ Special Civil Service Examinations.

CONFINED FOR OVER A YEAR IN A LOATHSOME HAYTIEN DUNGEON. C.A. Van Bokelen, ex-United States consul general at Port-au-Prince, Hayti, arrived in Philadelphia yesterday. While consul general, Van Bokelen married a Haytien woman, and at the end of his term becameg deaterin the money of the native government, Having ac- quired considerable wealth, he wished to buy real estate, but found it illegal for an alien to do so. He evaded the law, however, and bought roperty in Port-au-Prince, When President oman discovered this he had Van Bokelen arrested and thrown into prison with murder- ers and desperadoes of the worst- kind, all of them negroes. The prison was in a swamp, the wall constantly dripped water, and Van Boke- Jen’s cell was of stone, § feet by 4. There the ex-consul was forced to live from March, 1884, until the 27th of June, 1885, the place being infested with rats and loathsome vermin. ‘His health, which was robust when he was first im- riscnéd, is now entirely broken down, and ie Bis becoine a victim to. both consumption and. chronic catarrh. Mr. Van Bokelen says no at- tention was paid by President Soloman to let- ters from Secretary Frelinghuysen, and he was not released until Secretary Bayard wrote the Haytien president demanding his instant re- lease, stating at the same time that if he was not released a United States man-ol-war would be dispatched to Port-au-Prince, with instruc: tions to adopt severe measures if necessary. ““V“V“Vc_V_ Senator Edmunds on the Administra- m. HE FEARS THAT THE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM MOVEMENT WILL GRADUALLY PETER OUT. Senator Femunds talked at unusual length with a reporter of the Boston Record at Camp Pingree, Vt.,on Thursday, mostly in regard to the administration and civil service reform, ‘The Senator declared himself a firm advocate of civil service reform. He thinks the Presi- dent’s intentions are good in the premises, but fears the men about him are not in sympathy with him in this matter. Mr. Edmunds con- tinued: “The majority of his cabinet are un- favorable to it. Now, it is Impossible for one man to investigate the details concerned in each appointment. ‘The President , cannot know himself the circumstances of 1 per cent of the appointments he makes.” Te Senator then alluded to republicans being removed from office on specious ch: ‘and democrats put {n thelr places, and resuméd: “I thinik there is no doubt that gradually these changes will con- tinue until the policy and practice of the ad- ministration have degenerated into simply a Spolls system. ‘There is ng doubt that if the nate had not been ‘republican the ‘change would have come already. It the Senate had been democratic {t would not have adjourned when it did, but would have stayed over u month or mofe, and there would have'been a ‘clean sweep. Quarrel Over the Offices in New Orleans. ‘The squabble over federal offices in New Or- leans: has produced a very ugly. quarrel,in which Senator Gibson and Col.

Mr. Seanlon’s Attempt to Eject Mr. Key. A WHISKER AND EAR PULLING MATCH. This morning, in the Police Court, Mr. ‘Thomas called the attention of Judge Mills to 8 countercharge of assault between Agent Key, of the Humane society and Michael Scanlon, manager of the National base ball grounds, Mr. Key testified that yesterday evening he walked into the grounds to see the boys sitting on the east side with the sun in their faces to talk with them about the unpleasantness of their situation, He showed his badge at the gate, and, after a policeman spoke for him, he ‘was permitted to enter, He met Mr. Scanlon and presented his business card. Mr. Scanlon said he did not want him in the grounds, but told him he could come in if he had on an offl- cer’s uniform, Scanlon said, “You have got to get out,” and witness replied that he would not; that he could go where any officer could go. Scanton went to put witness out and he stepped on Scanlon’s foot, throwing him on the steps, Witness went back, and Seanion made a second attempt to put him out, and caught witness by the whiskers, pulling ‘out a portion of them. Witness found that he had hold of Scanion’s ear. Witness wanted the seats moved to the west side of the grounds, so as to have the boys’ backs to the sun, Sergeant R. B. Boyle testified that he was in- side the gate when Key entered, and he heard him refuse to leave when requested by Mr. Scanlon, who then sald, “I'l put you out,” and Key answered, “You can't” They clinched, and Key drew his blackjack, which witness made him put in his pocket, Witness said that no blows passed, but he saw Key have hold of Scanion’s eur, when the boys left the gallery and cried, “Put him out.” Officer MeDonald testified that when he arri- rived upon the scene Scanlon was hugging Key, who had the former by the ear. Key raised his blackjack, and was about to strike Scanlon when witness caught his arm. Mr. Scanlon testified that Key entered that portion of the grounds reserved for players and he asked him out, but made no effort to put him out until Key caught him by the ear and raised his blackjack, He dented pulling Key's Whiskers out. Mr. Scanlon said that the boys were satisfied with the prite and the place as- signed them, and that Mr. Key had no right there without Wega his fare, punsel for the defendants each argued their ease, and Mr. Thomas said they were both wrong; Mr. Key had a right to go there, but was. wrong in using his blackjack, The judge, in disposing of the case, said that the court lubored with a great many cases which shouid uever have been brought before it. Special policemen are-assigned to a specific duty, and while acting in that specific line of duty they are to be protected. When they make mistakes they are held responsible as much as any private citizen. The law was passed for the protection of children who are cruelly treated. A case of eruelty does not jus- tify an officer in entering without a warrant, unless it is something of public notoriety. The assumption that a special officer may enter such @ place, where. no official complaint is made, is, in the opinion of the court, not war ranted by the putpose of his appointment. In this case the agent entered without complying with the requirements, and refused to leave when requested, Seanfon, had @ right to use reasonable force to eject him, and there was nothing to show that he did ‘otherwise. The agent believed he was there legitimately, and hardly committed an assault, Both cases were cismissed. ——— The Washington Aqueduct Extension.

TWO CENTS. SECRETARY AND GENERAL. The Recent Conflict of Authority. A LETTER FROM SECRETARY LINCOLN To LIEUT. GEN, SHERIDAN JUST PUBLISHED WHICH THROWS SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT, Tre STAR some time ago published the state- Ment that there was a conflict of authority be- tween the Secretary of War and the lieutenant general of the army, the Secretary questioning the right of the Heutenant general toissue orders direct to officers of the army. The publication created quite a sensation and was extensively denied. THE STAR had knowledge of the facts it then presented, the trath of which is shown by the publication in the Army and Navy Journat ofa letter written to Gen. Sheridan by Secretary Lincoln just before his retirement, copies of which letter have recently been sent to the gen- erals commanding the various divisions. for their information and guidance. The Secretary Tefers to a previouscommunication, wherein he agreed with Gen. Sheridan in the'case of the quartermaster general, in which there had been conflicting orders, that there were “not two channels of command to staff officers serving with troops,” and adds: “And I wish to invite your consideration as to whether in making the order of October 29, 1884, to the quarter- master general (Instend of recommending to the Secretary of War action by him) you have not yourself overlooks your remark to the case of the quartermaster Zeneral, who has not been and could not be de- tached from the staff (to use a military phrase) Of the Secretary of War, and authorized to obey the orders of any officer of the army whomso- ever, without an abandonment by tbe Secretary of War of duties specifically im} upon him by law. He and subordinate officers of his de- rtment not detailed toserve under command- Ing officers are necessarily under the sole direc- tion of the Secretary of War.” He goes on to say that not having fheard from him (Sheridan) on the subject, he supposed he acquiesced in his views. “But recent! says, “the commissary general of subsisience having, in a communication to me, taken ex- ception to receiving an order trom the Heuten- ant general, you remarked thereupon as fol- lows: ‘I have no further remark to make on the disrespectful attitude assumed by the com- missary general of subsistence (it does not ad- jait of argument) in regard to the relation he bears tothe commandi: general of the army than that he is @ part of the army of the United States, and ‘that the President placed me in command of the army by an order dated, War department, Washington, October 13th, 1883.’ Tdo not care to make any point upon the fact that the only expression of your View on the subject, made after my letter to you, disposes of my remarks in that letter in so brief a manner, but I deem it my duty to point out to you that in my opinion your claim to command every officer in the army, as the army is described in section 1094, Revised Statutes, under the terms of the assignment to duty under w! now acting, is not tenable; and th: tenable, {t would be an imperative duty on the Part of ‘the Secretary of War to recommend to e President syph @ change in the terms of Your assignmeny to duty as would prevent the Possibility of such a claim.” As to the duty of the commanding general the letter s itis to advise the Secretary of Warn a multitade of matters, in which, how- ever, the final action must be upon the respon- sibtilty ot the Secretary. In conelusion the latter says: “I have no wish to aggrandize my own exclusive functions or todiminish your command.my personal iriend- ship, as well as my high respect for you as an officer, would alike prevent such action, but it is a duty 1 cannot avold, to preserve intact the exclusive authority required by law, regula- tions, and customs, to be exercised by the Sec- retary of War, and to take such measures as Will without fall accomplish thatend.
