Alabama appears to lead in the magnitude, but not the number of enterprises. Ir Jeff Dayis wants to get up a reputation lor patriotism he must vote the Republican ticket. That covers a multitude of sins. No one ever sees a disparaging line in a Republican newspaper regarding Longslreer, Key, Moseby or Chalmers. Why? Because they vote the straight Republican ticket.

WniLE the Salvation Army captains &ra drumming to keep souls out of trouble hereafter, they are dramming bodies into a good deal of it at the present. They defy and fight the police almost everywhere they SO. A Captain, Miss Snith, smashed hr tambourinfl over the head of a police captain, in Wilkesbarre, Pa., the other day, and as the courts appeared afraid to fackle the "pious rioters," the citizens took the law into their own hands and made them skediddle.

The fight for the New York Seaatorshlp waxes warm between that ancient political gerymander, William Mi Evarts. and the millionaire corruption ist, Levi P. Morton. The New York Times says that there are in Merlon's employ, working for his nomination, "a pang of bankrupt politicians, men whese very touch is poison to honest politics, men of each ill-repute that their active connection with any sort of political enterprise is a challenge to all good citizens to be on their guard." If the Times draws a few more photographs like this of tha master Morton, it will assure his nomination. A man as corrupt as that will "catch on" with the Republicans." Hoy. Jon C. New, interviewed in Washington, on Monday, said: "From what I have seen and heard, and after reasoning with the situation, I ahould think there is little doubt that ex-Senator McDonald will he included in the make-up of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. He is indorsed by the enlire party in his Slate, and hi friends everywhere confidently expect to see him in the Cabinet, and if he is not given a place there will be not a little disappointment. Senator McDonald is one of the brainiest men in the Democratic party, and with his thorough honor and integrity he would itrecgthen the counsels of any President. He is held in very high esteem by all classes

at his home. With Senator McDonald in he Cabinet the ranks of the Democracy in Indiana would be closed up. The leading men would be in prominent positions, and, I ehculd think, the Democrats universally cattrfied."

Thx Republicans were, as far back as two weeks ago, going to produce, instanter, in black cn whit, proof positive that Mr. Sr. John had tried to "sore-throat" their National Committee cut of thirty odd thousand dollars. In two weeks more, and tbat procf still unfurled, somebody say the Republicans have lied. THE SHEP.MAN-DAVI3 DEBATE. Twenty yean subsequent to his famous march through Georgia, General Sberoiau, rem the retiracy cf private citizenship, a few months elnce was Eeized with a recolleclion that Jefferson Davis had been President of the Southern Confederacy, and that he (te tViieved) had once captured a letter written by Davis, whereupon he went into print to denounce Davis as a conspirator and a tiaiior. As Dayis had already been so denounced eeveral million times, more or les9, the lateness of General Sherman's discovery and promulgation of the fact was not devoid cf a ludicrous aspect It was calculated to remind cf the anecdote of the Hibernian who, meeting on the street a Jew vrkom he had Incwn for years, jumped upon atid began pounding him. "You helped kill CirisV charged Tat. "Why, that happ sr. ed ovf r eighteen hnndred vears ago," protested Läse. "Well, I never heard of it until ya -terdhy," Pat answered in astonishment. It was the very height of tally to precipitate upon the country in thjs day a public discussion cf JeflTcr3on Davis. When the interest of the people of the Union demand harmony and fraternal feeling between the two secticr8 that were twenty years ao at war, it is not patriotic to cast a firebrand at the past. Whether JeiTerron Davii waa a conspirator and traitor does not enter into the affairs of thi3 era. Adaait him to hare been and etiil to be both, but he is no factor in politics at this time to be worth bringing into notice. He wields no more influence in the South, and has not for years, than in the Noitb. But to assail him after the msnner of General Sherman and Senators Haw ley, Ingalls, Sherman and others is Imply to open the war question aaib. Nece warily the charges involve others in tie South, who were the advisers and sip porters of the Dayi3 administration, men who are accredited to-day with unqualified loyalty and patriotism. That these men should be restive under the c!:ar3 may not indicate the humility General Sherman and ethers deem proper. But it is hardly to be expected, though they may adn it error of judgment, that they will plead guilty to having besn "coo 5pirtors end traitors." To ask that of them, or that they sit silent under such accusation, is to atk them to convict themselves of infamy, of being forever unworthy the confidence or respect of the country. We Eay that the country is in no sense benefited by General Sherman's letter nor the brining up cf the matter in the United States Senate. The public sentiment of the Nation long since set the seal of its condemnation upon Jefferson Davi?. There is not, cor has there been since ths surrender of the confederate armies, any second secession movement. Then why stir the corpse of the cne that died so long ago? Jefferson. Davis has been for twenty year3 in his political coffin why raise the lid and erhibit the remains? It would have been an evidence of continued or recewed disloyalty on the part of his followers to have dene so; it wa3 unpatriotic and in tad taste for the man who did so much to put him into the coHiin as Greral Sherman did, to opn it. We heartily wish he and his partisan friends in the United States Ssnate had ehowa themglvei blfger mep. SCHUYLER COLFAX. A telegram published ehevhere in ta'a morning's Sentinel announces the very sudden end unexpected death of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of South Bend. Among men of all partie3 the intelligence was received here yesterday with expressions of genuine regret and sorrow. Although the deceased wa3 well and favorably known throueh the State, yet the occasion demands mere than a mere announcement of the sad and eudden demise. Mr. Colfax wa3 bora in the city ot New York, March 23, 1S23, and consequently was approaching his sixty fifth birthday when death ended his career. In 1836 the Colfax family came to Indiana, settling in St. Joseph County. The earlier years of his life were spent as a clerk in a country store, but when eighteen years of ace he was appointed Deputy County Auditor, at South Bend, by his stepfather, who was Auditor. In connection with his duties he found time to prepare himself for the bar, and soon afterward he begat a taste for journalism by reporting for the Journal cf this city tha proceedings of the Upper House of the State Legislature. In 1815 he established a weekly Whig newspaper at Sörth Bend, called the St. Joseph Valley Register. He was both editor and proprietor of this paper, and made for himself quite a reputation as a vigorous political writer. In IS 13 he was sent as a delegate to the National Whig Convention at Philadelphia, which nominated General Taylor to the Presidency. Mr. Colfax was elected Secretary of the conventian. In 1350, when the Indiana Constitutional Convention was called, he was elected one of tha delegates and took quite a prominent part in the deliberations and discusdons cf the convention. He opposed by voice and vote the clause prohibiting free colored persons from coming into the State. He made his first race for Congress in 1351, but was defeated by 216 votes. In 1352 he again represented the Whigs of Indiana in the National Convention at Baltimore, which nominated Gen-

eral Scott to the Presidency, and was again elected Secretary of the convention. In 1354, with the formation of the Republican party, he again stood for Congress and was elected. For the next twelve years he was re-elected to the ss.me position, which, with his term cf Vice President from 1SG- to 172, gave him the opportunity of being an interested participant and spectator of the most exciting and critical public events of the century. He supported General Fremont far the Pre9ideEcy, and it was during th'13 canvass (1SG0) that a speech of his made previously in Cossre?3 reached a circulation of 5CO.CO0 copies. It referred to the slavery question then the leading and exciting topic cf the pcrioX He was elected Speaker of the Home of Representatives i.i 1S 3. and again in 18C5, and once more in ls(J7. During h's ls.it term ai Speaker hs was nominated to the Vic Presidency, with General Grant a3 President. At the convention, which met in Chicago, May, lSii, he received Ö22 of the 503 voies cast. The ticket was succ33sfal, and on March 4, 1S09, he as Vice President lock his !eat as the Presiding Officer of the Senate. Daring this term o! office he wrote a letter declaring that he would withdraw from public life at the end cf his term, but his friends pieiaüed upon him to consent to the use of his cams for a eecond time in connection with General Graut as in 13'. Hon. Henry Wilson, however, at the convention which met in Philadelphia in 1372 received the nomination for the Vice Presidency. The vite stocd 314 for Colfax against 33 V, for Wilson. The ticket stood Grant and Wiison, and was successful in the following Presidential election of that jear. Mr Colfax vra implicated in the charges ot corruption brought agaiast several members of Congress who had received eberesof "the Credit Mobilierof Americi," ar:d was repeatedly examined before tie Congressional Committee appointed to investigate the matter. A resolution directing the Judiciary Committee of the House cf Representatives to inquire if the evidenco taken by the committee called for the impeachment of any officer of tho Government, brought forth a report on February 21, 1S73, declaring that there was no ground for the impeachment of Mr. CoUax, inasmuch as the alleged cftente of tribetakicg, if committed at all, had been committed before ho became Vice President. This report was accepted, and nothing more was done with the matter. Thus the public career of Mr. Colfax ended with tha Vice r, eaidency o! the United States. He lacked only one more round of the ladder to take him to the highest office within the gift of the people. Since 1873 Mr. C jlfax has been very successful es a public lecturer. The lecture on Lincoln would have won for him a National reputation without any reference to his political career. His life ended yesterday, as detailed elsewhere. Peace to his 3he?.

THE INAUGUSATION OCCASION. On Wednesday, the 25th of Jane las, a Democratic Convention was held in English's Opera House to nominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and for the State offices. When the convention had been called to order Rev. O. H. P. Abbett invoked Divine blessings upon its deliberations, and among other good things petitioned for was this, that the Almighty would "bieea the Democratic party both State and National." It is remembered that that passage in the prayer was greeted with applause. When Dr. Abbett stepped forward yeäterday in the same capacity as in the Jnne convention there were many present who recalled his former petition to Heaven and how f ally it had baan grantsd "both State and National." O: e evening shortly preceding the June J convention, Colonel Gray visited the Sen tinel editorial rooms, and the Gubernatorial raco being under diicussion, he said: "I pledge that if I recaive the nomination of the convention, I will ba the next Governor of Indiana." Those who heard the pledge sat on the etefe of English's Opera Houte a few feet from him on Monday and saw it redeemed. On this iDanguratiou OCcAaloa there was that to make erf ry thoughtful peieen present brtathe reapostivaly to the clergyman's expreesiocsof thanks for the bletiings of "a free ballot" Within a radius of a few feet were the ontgoisg and incoaiag Governors and Lieutenant Governors. Peacefully, gracefully, the reins of ofliee were surrendered by the fermar to latter. It has not been many generations since such a scene was unknown to human government. Bloodshed and overthrew by armed force wss tha price of the transfer of power. But sete the contest wagad In 1S31 for the Governorship of Inelame. Nevar did Norman or Saxon chiefs have more gallant or numerous following than had W. H. Calkins and Isaac P. Gray. The flare of torches sad blare of drums were seen and heard throughout a vast territory, as the respective hosts marched and countermarched in procession. No sanguinary sovereign ever rallied his followers more spiritedly to battle than did thee? our leaders. But ours was a battle of ballots, and the result being declared, the victor is crowned in the vary presence and eren with tha congratulations of his predecessor, though the latter belengs to the opposing political faction. It was an intelligent aad decorous auemblaga that witnessed tha inaugural ceremonies ; a representative assemblage of people who however strong may be their partisan preferences, yet love peace and tha observance of law much aaore. It was an assemblage devoid of barbarian hate and vengenlress to whose ears there was melody in words that savored ci reconciliation and fellowship betwean the erstwhile warriig sections ef the Union. Yankee Doodle" aad "Dixie," played in succession by tie baud, were both applauded. When Governor Gray called attention to the proposition of the World's Exposition at New Orleans to have a reunion cf Union and ex-Confederate soldiers under

its auspices, there was a brightening of attentive faces, and tumultuous applause greeted tha sentiment that "whan the soldiers of a Nation who have borne arms against each other can come together as brothers, strife can saver again come between ns as a people." Tue hold Lieutenant Governor Manson has upon tha ifTectieas of tha people was apparent in tne demonstration that greeted Hist his entrance upon the stage and asiin when he stepped forward to deliver his modest address. The exercises were well planned, ar.d under ex-Lieutenant Governor Henna's direction were cone through without an incident to mar their pleasantness Lft us hope that the admirable going oH of the c cession is an augury of a successful administration of t'se newly inaugurated, replete In tranquility and abounding prosperity for Indians.

BAD FOR PROHIBITION. A Leavenworth letter to the St. Louis Republican gives BOine fects from the Warden of the penitentiary, which go to show that prohibition doe3 not loom into a very wise or effective factor in the great problem cf preventing crime. The letter says: As it is claimed that there have been fewer commitments to the penitentiary since the Prohibition law was passed and partially enforced, W. C. Jones, Warden of the penitentiary, furnishes the folio winz card for publication: "On April Ü, 1SS3, when I took charge of the institution, there were 611 canvirtu confined in the prison; on Julv 1, 1864, there were 751, making an increase in about riltecn mouths of 107. Tüi, the greateit ii.creai-e that has occurred during the suae number of months in the last five vnrs. terms at a tima when Kanus has been blessed with great pro parity and labor in grat demind, which is alwavs given rs a reason for diminution of crime by ail writers on the subject. There ba3 been do period during th3 existence of the prohibitionary law when it was eo rigidly enforced as during ths time above mfntioned. In Atchison, Leavenworth, Shawnee and Wyandotte Counties the open sale of intoxicating liquors has never been interrupted, and these counties have furnished a smaller proportion of convicts in proportion to their population than the counties where the enforcement of the law ha3 been considered cf the first importance. The total population of the four counties named is estimated at 117,533, and they have furnished an aggregate number of 95 convicts during the last two years, while the counties "of Lyon, Wilson, Harvey, Miami, Montgomery ana Bourbon, with a population ot 115,Sti3, and being counties where the law has been expensive, if not successful, have furnished 111 convicts during the same period of ttms. In other words, from a prohibition population of 115 65 came sixteen more convicts thai from an anti-prohibition population of 117,Wnzx the Supreme Court invalidated the civil rights law the Republicans wept over the sufferings that were to be imposed on the colored people of the South by their being denied equal privileges. The Sipreme Court, as it was right to do, declared the matter one for State regulation. And now comes a Democratic Tennessee Judge who, hearirg the complaint of a colored woman that the had been denied the first-class accommodations her rst-cl&?s railroad ticket called for, holds the plaintiff entitled to recover damages under the common law, even in the absence of a statute providing for the recovery. Bat it was under a statute that the enit was brought and a verdict of $500 agaicst the road awarded her. And now the co'ortd people in Tennessee see that the. civil rights law was not needed to assure them legal protection.

To the Editor of the Sentinel : Sir With the incoming administration there will be a new Commissioner of Patent?, and as the Patent Office has been most fearfully mismanaged, I wish most earnestly to call your attention and the attention of all to the fact that the new administration would make hosts of friends by placing in the office of Commissioner of Patents a man of quiet perceptions, indomitable courage for reform, incorruptible integrity and ability of a high order, as an organizer and judge ot patent law. Allow me to aaggeat the name of a man that combines in a mo it

eminent degree ail those qualities, and others which qualify him to fill the position, besides being a consistent, prominent, oldtime Democrat. That man is Charles A.

Not long ago Garland hit Butler pretty hard. That is to iy, be got a very good one on him, and Butler laid fcr the Senator from Arkansas. Knowing Garland's fondness for candy, he procure! some caramels and also some cubes of brown soap, which, when wrapped in their tissue paper, precisely resembled to the eye the caramels. Butler knew that if he tried to put the cubes of soap off on Garland ha would fail, as the latter was. of coarse, oi the alert so far as he was concerned. So Veorhees, of Indiana, who cite next to Garland, was chosen for the confederate. Said Butler to Voorheea: "Here are two genuine caramels. These others are cub33 of soap. Go to your seat, lay the so3p cubes on your desk, eat the genuine caramels, put your trust in Providence, and say nothing." Yoorhecs did as he was told. Garland observed the cubes on the dek, and saw that Voorhees was eating something with an evident relish. 'Hellow," said Garland. "What are you eatirg?" "I've got a cold and I'm eating some candy,'' replied Voorhees, very much aosorbed in some papera in his hand. Garland looked at the counterfeits wistfully for a moment. "Ham." he said finally, as he picked one up, "I've gat something of a cold myrelf," and he popped the piece of soap into his mouth. There wa3 a crunching of his jaw3, and he saw he was caught. Vocrhees watched him oat of the ball of his eye, as did a dozen others of tha old boys sitting around. Garland knew he was under fire, but Le was determined not to flicch. After chewing his soap for a mo ment he looked up at Voorhee3 with tho inimitable air of innocent earnestness thit is char&eteristic of him, and softly asked: "Do jou eat many of these things when you have a cold?" As Garland kept cn chewing an aim cat imperceptible strip of lather form 3d on bis lips. Voorhees became alarraei aid went to Butler. "Tha fcllow 13 actually eatirg that stuff. Why, it will kill him, wob'tit?'' "No-oo-o." drawled Butler, "I don't reckon anythiag will kill that man." Garland was gime, He finished his soap, and so man could eay that he looked as if he didn't txjoy it. Doing It Deftly. IBoston Herald. J It takes a woman, after all, to do difficult things deftk. Brick Pomeroy eat in an orchestra chair in the Fourteenth Street Theater. On the etaga was his former wife, Louise Pomeroy. There was a flash of bright color quite visible through the powder and rouge on Mrs. Pomeroy's cheeks, but she controlled her nerves and did not let the sheck affect her acting. Then she had to be hugged by the mimic lover, a lusty young fellow, who did it thoroughly; but I could not ee9 that Brick was at all affected by that feature of the performance. The important situation came when Arthur Elliott, tha husband whom she has brought from Australia, appeared upon the stage. Bricc's opera-gls8s went to his eyes like a wink, and were held there while he made a ions and critical inspection of his successor. Under this ordeal the actress betrayed far more disturbance than before. Elliott had the role of a shaky, enervated, half-paralyzed old man, with his face painted to suit the character, and altogether looking more like the corpse cf a forthcoming funeral than the bridegroom of a recent wedding. A fine object was he, truly, for a proud woman to exhibit as her second husband to her first husband. Brick smiled sardonically, and seemed to enjoy the spectacle. Recent Dael. Jtew York Times. A new variety of duel, which will commend itself to humane men, has been recently tried in Pennsylvania, Two young men eay Brown and Smith had a difficulty. There was a lady in the case. In fact, the dispute was entirely about a lady whom each of the young men wished to marry. Instead of fighting the usual style of duel, in the expectation that Brown woula fill Smith, or Smith Brown, and thus make things smooth once more, the two young men agreed to shoot at a mark, with the understanding that tha victor should marry the girl. The duel was fought, and Brown beat his opponent on the twenty-first shot, and promptly proceeded to propcee to the girl, while Smith gave up all thoughts of her, and probably sought consolation in beer. As it happened, however,

the eirl refused to marry Brown, who ther3 upon left the country, and 8mlth, eeeing the field clear once more, persaadea the girl to elote with him. While this duel bad the obvious ad van-' tage of avoiding effusion cf blooJ, it mus: be confessed hat it was not successful ao far as its main object was concerned. The victer had to content himself with his victorr ia the duei, and the defeated man rnarried'ths girl. This unfortunate result will not recommend the rew style of duel to public favor. Urder the old tyetem at least one of tha duelists wculd have been effec;ual!y prevented from marrying, and his opponent would bave hal as a claim to favor the enviablo reputtir-n of havirg faced death aad a man in behalf cf the object ot his affection?.
