IT HAS been delimtely settled that Hon. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, will be Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury "'rt it will be the doom ot Isaac Pusev Grny?

THF.Y nre actually talking in Washington of pensioning Jefferson Davis' widow not, however, for his services to the Confederacv, but on account of his imprisonment in the Mexican war.

•.£ JRAT LOAD of bills have been introauced in both houses of the Legislature all amendatory of the fe« and salary law. All have been referred to the committee on Fees and Salaries. A tremendous pressure will be made to in some way modify the present law.

THE monthly statement shows that the net cash balance in the national Treasury, including the amount in national bank depositories, and the subsidiary silver coin is $29,092,588, a decrease oi $1,236,330 during December, and of $5,481,540 during the past vear. During 1892, the debt decreased $11,457,374.

A BILL has been introduced into the House providing for the establishment of the Indiana State Home for destitute soldiers, sailors and marines, and widows of such sold ers, sailors and marines. The bill provides that the home shall be established on lands now owned by the G. A. R. near LaFayette. The managelenjb pWmi

menjb of the home is to be intrusted to a cpWmittee of three trustees, who shall

re

appointed by the Governor. One nber of the board must be a woman ie the widow of a Union soldier. \f officers of the Home are to be a "omn^andant, who is to receive a salary of $l,2tf9,a year, and an adjutant, who is to receivd^ salary of $1,000 a year. The bill provides for the appropriation of $148,000 for the establishment of this home.

THE LaFayette Call in commenting 'on the suit instituted last Saturday in which the editor of THE JOURNAL is made one of the parties, says:

THE CHAWFOKDSVJLLE JOURNAL has been sued for twenty thousand dollars damages. Their offense seems to consist in the publication of the substance of the claims of ths plaintiffs in a suit brought bv them to set aside a conveyance of land by a decedent, on the ground of undue influence. The paper subsequently published the statement that the defendants in the case denied the charges. The case is still pending. The newspaper published the article purely us a matter of news, and without any malice or bias whatever towards either side. That a suit for libel shouh' be brought under such circumstances, and be able to get any standing whatever in court, shows the necessity for some change in oar present libel laws, whereby the absence of mnlice, and the giving of the version of the aggrieved party the same degree of publicity as the original statement, shall relieve th»j paper from liability other than for any nctual, tangible pecuniary damage which may be shown to have resulted. ,,

THE National Tribune says that the friends of President Harrison who see and talk with him every day are becoming very much concerned about his condition, and fears are entertained that his health will give way before the close of his administration, although that is only two months away. The long Beries of heavy misfortunes to which the President and his family have been subjected are Baid to have had a very depressing effect upon him. The death of his wife to whom he was particularly devoted, wnn a blow from which he has not rallied and it left him utterly unable to withstand the other sad happenings which have since followed the inmates of the White HOUBB. He is said to be more ill mentally than physically, and he has only been kept from falling into a state of melancholy by the most unceasing labor. Since the election there has been no labor too constant or confining for him, and he is said to purposely keep his mind employed on all possible occasions on business affaire, in order to escape the recollections of his political and domestic afflictions. While Gen. Harrison cannot as yet be called a sick man,

THE prospects for a "January thaw" are not the most promising.

desk every day, his friends

say he has the appearance of being on the verge of a general breakdown.

THE tendency of the Indianapolis Neivs iB to be cynical, but its article on the death of ex-President Hayes is one of the best pieces of editorial work that ever graced its fourth page. From it we quote:

General Hayes' character and achievements have long belonged to history, and no friend and believer in "whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure and of good report," need be impatient or despairing at the storm of obloquy and reproach that has assailed him these many years. The cause of this storm will be written on the page of history as generating in the simple fact that liutherford B. what his detractors said he us. There has been a great show of virtue in their accusations, but in fact the chief element in them was the bitter disappointment of the spoils mongers of both parties. The Democratic party, out of power for sixteen years, was not so affronted at the "overturning of constitutional government," or "the rnpe of the presidency" —to quote prases applied to the choice of President Hayes in 1876—as it was disappointed in its hungry laid for spoils. This is its own verdict, as history will record—the verdict delivered by it at Cincinnati when it refusad to do the one thing that would make good its charges and test its sincerity, namely, to renominate the man who, it is said, had been robbed of the presidency.

EACH of the seventy-nine bishops of the Homnn Catholic church will send answers to the Pope to fourteen propositions sent to them by Mgr. Sutolli nine of these propositions have already been made public, pnd the other five, which had been withheld, are as follows: All care must be taken to erect Catholic schools, to enlarge and improve those already established, and to make them equal to the public schools in eveiy way. When there are no Catholic schools, or those in existence are not equal to public schools, children may attend the latter the question being left to the judgment and conscience of the ordinaries. No one shall be allowed to teach in a parochial school without previous examination as to fitness. Nor mal schools to be established where they are necessary. Everybody is forbidden, either by act or threat, to exclude from the scraments as unworthy parents who choose to send their children to the public schools.

THE last Democratic Legislature labored and brought forth a use in the shape of what is called i. and Salary law. The object of

1

he law was pure

buncombe. It was ii te ided for consumption among the Farmer's Alliance which was just then springing into existence and which bade fair to deplete the Democratic ranks if some gudgeon catching measure was not enacted. Having accomplished its purpose it has been discovered that the act is unconstitutional. The rural Democrats have been hoodwinked, but they seem to like it and want more of the same kind.

THE opposition of that portion of the State prison which are not in favor of an appropriation by the Legislature for the entertainment of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic seems to bo based on the grounds that it is purely an Indianapolis affair, and it is the duty of that city to bear all the burden. This is certainby a very narrow view to take. It should be regarded as an Indiana affair and every citizen of the State should have sufficient pride to be willing to bear his proportion of the expense in giving the visiting heroes a Hoosiei welcome.

AND now the Cabinet makers have it that Judge Gresham is to be made a member of Mr. Cleveland's official fami ly. The Jndge having landed bag and 'jaK8H8e 'n the harbor of Democracy the fact that he will be chosen will ere ate no surprise. He was in New York the other day and called on the Presi dent,-elect which gives color to the ru mor. No doubt but that he is trimming his sails to become the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The bet is in his bonnet.

THE Indianapolis Journal suggests several methods whereby the Legisla ture could make the receipts and ex penditures meet at both ends, principal among which could be made to ap pear in the item of receipts. By increasing the saloon license from $100 to $500 the sum of $2,500,000 would be added to the revenue. If the Legisla lure was not under the control of the liquor interests the increase would comt at once.

DEATH OF GEN. HAYES.

FREMONT, O., Jan. 18.—Ex-President Rutherford B. Haj'es died at 11 o'clock Tuesday night During1 the dajr the general had passed the long hours with more comfort than he had been able to do at any time previous since the attack on Saturday. Dr. F. S. Ililbish remained with the ex-president during most of the day. The sickness had been watched during1 the day and evening with much couceru by friends. The members of the family passed the day at the family residence quite closely.

Many People Surprised.

Announcement of the death of the ex-president caused surprise to many, as the seriousness of his illness had not been fully appreciated and everything was kept exceedingly quiet in the vicinity of the Hayes mansion. The early report that the ex-president was improving and was resting easily allayed suspicion, so that the announcement that he had died proved a shock to all.

From Mr. Webb Hayes it is learned that the condition of his father took a f-'uilden change early iu the evening

RUTHEHFORD B. HAYES.

*nd rapid dissolution followed. The members of the Hayes family have all along been exceedingly reticent concerning the condition of (Jeri. Hayes and the attending physician has followed the same course.

Taken Sick at Cleveland.

On Monday, January 9, (ien. Hayes went to Columbus on state university business connected with manual training as president ol' the board of trustees, stopping there with his niece, Mrs. Gen. Mitchell. Thursday morning he left Columbus for Cleveland, where he visited the university with reference to securing an instructor to take charge of the manual training department in the state university. lie remained in Cleveland with his son Webb Friday and Saturday, and left there Saturday afternoon for Fremont lie was driven in a close carriage to the union depot, where his son joined him, and immediately after entering the car complained of cold. He finally consented to leave the car and went into a waiting-room, where stimulants were given him. These so revived him that he insisted on returning to the train, sr. .'ing he must go home. "I would rather die in Spiegle drove," he said, "tiiau live anywhere else." ltecently at Ills Wile's ir svi».

After his return to the car he was seized with violent pains in the chest which lasted until after his return home. He was treated for angina pectoris, but while relieved of distress his heart never recovered its vigor and life was suddenly terminated Ly paralysis of the heart. While lying in his own room he frequently referred to a visit made to his wife's grave made on the preceding Sunday, and spoke of the quiet beauty of the snow-covered seenc. He said that he almost wished he was lying there by the side of his wife, it was all so peaceful. "And yet," he said. "1 am not unhappy. My life is an unexceH innally happy one." His last words, "I know that I am going where Lucy i-," were spoken to his family physician with the utmost earnestness

The funeral services will lie held Friday, and Gen. Haves will he placed beside his beloved wife iu La lie wood.

Karly Iife of (inn. Hayes.

The early yours of liutlierford 15. lhiyes" lire were spent in Delaware, O., wiser he born October 4, If Here lie received :i i-omniou-scliool education and bewail the surly of tlreek and Latin. Afterward he al tended an uuuleiny at Xorwulk. O., and prepared himself for college at a school in Allddleum, nin. In August., 1812, he was graduated from Kenyon college at Gambier, O., and immediately he-ran the study of law in the olllce of Thomas Sparrow at Columbus, O. Subsequently ho entered the law school of Harvard, completing his studies there in 18*3.

Lower Sandusky, now Fremont, O., was the first place in which he pructiced his profession. Opportunities there were limited and he sought a broader Held in Cincinnati. There he made the acquaintance and gained the respect, of many eminent men, and gave proofs of his ability as a lawyer, which soon caused his name to become well known and his practice to increase largely.

In 1852 ho married Miss Lucy W. Webb, daughter of a prominent physician in Chillicothe, O., and two years later entered into a law partnership with H. W. Corwine and William K. Rogers. From 1858 to April, 18(51, he was city solicitor of Cincinnati and as such gave entire satisfaction to the public. Jn politics Mr. Hayes was llrst a whig and then a republican, joining the latter party as soon as it was organized. He was opposed to slavery, and when the war broke out immediately enlisted and was made captain of a company formed chiefly out of a literary club to which he belonged.

Ills Military Career,

The governor of Ohio shortly afterward appointed him major and then Cien. liosecrans persuaded him to act as judge advocate of the department of Ohio. Jn October, 1861, he was promoted to lieutenant coloneL At the batt'.of South Mountain he led a charge and was So severely wounded in the arm that he had be carriedfrom the Held. His regiment lost aearly half its effective force in this combat. He also distinguished himself in the llrst battle of Winchester, at Fisher's hill and at Cedar creek, in the last-named engagement his conduct attracted the attention of his commander,

Gen. Crook, who said to him on the field of battle: "Colonel, from this day you will bo a brigadier general." The promise was fulfilled a few days later by the arrival of his commis* sion.

In March. 1865, he was made brevet m&jor general. Gen. Grant had a high opinion of Gen. Hayes' military abilities, cons'dering him not only a conspicuously brave soldier, but a man possessing qualities of a higher order than mere personal daring.

As Congressman anil Governor. While slill in the army (ien. Hayes was elected to congress from the Second Ohio district, but he did not take his seat until the close of the war. In 18G5 he was reelected ami served until the following year, when he was hosen governor of his state over Judge Thurman, the democratic nominee. In 1869 he was renominated, his opponent this tiino being George H. Pendleton, whom he defeated by a majority of 7,500. His administration was clean and honest

Though wishing to retire from public life Mr. Hayes was induced to accept a nomination for congress from the republicans of Cincinnati. The election resulted in his defeat by a majority of 1,500. It was at this time that he made his permanent home in Fremont, a small town in the norther.1 part of Ohio. In 1875 lie was, much against his will, again nominated for governor, and after a memorable campaign in which a sound currency was the principal issue involved he was elected by a majority of 5

s,10.

This canvass attracted national attention and its result placed Mr Hayes among the possibilities in the impending contest for the republican presidential nomination.

The Campaign of 1870.

The Ohio delegation to the Cincinnati convention which opened ,I line N, 18?!', supported him solidly. Blaine was the leading candidate, but when the seventh ballot was reached his opponents concentrated on Mr. Ilayes and gave him the nomination. The democrats named Samuel ,T. Tilden, ot Xew York. In the campaign which followed Hie leading issues were civil-service reform, the resumption of specie payments and the pacification of the south. i:iccto'-:»l Commission of 1870.

As is well known, the election resulted in a serious dispute between the parties as to which candidate was the real victor. Both claimed to have carried the slates of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina. Charges of fraud were freely made and much violent langw.ge was indulged in. On the face of the returns as made by the canvassing boards of the states in question and by those of the states in which there were no disputes Mr. Ilayes had a majority of 1 in the electoral college. To avoid a deadlock in congress the parties agreed to let a commission consisting of five senators, five representatives and live judges of the supreme court decide the whole matter. This commission, by a vote of 8 to 7,-decided not to go behind the certilicates of the governors, and Mr. Hayes was Anally, on the L'd of March, 1877, declared duly elected and on tha 5th of tho same month was inaugurated.

The commission was composed of Justices of the Supreme Court Clifford, of Maine Strong, of Pennsylvania: Miller, of Iowa Field, of California: Bradley, of New Jersey Senators Fdmunds, of Vermont Morton, of Indiana Frelingliuysen, of New Jersey: Uayard, of Delaware: Thurman, of Ohio: Representatives Hoar, of Massachusetts: Garfield, of Ohio Payne, of Ohio: Hunter, of Virginia, and Abbott, of Massachusetts. Politically the court stood: Republicans—Justices, 4: senator.-, 3: representatives, total, 9. Democrats—Justice, 1 senators, 2 representatives, 3 total, 8.

As rresUlent of the l.'uited .Stated. Mr. Hayes' administration was efficient and safe if not brilliant. As soon as his cabinet had been formed he began the work of removing the causes of dissatisfaction in the south. This was attended with many difficulties, and he was subject to much criticism. His efforts to reform the civil service also made for him many enemies, especially among the politicians, who felt that their prerogatives were being interfered with. The resumption of specie payments was successfully effected, and President Hayes, in his annual message in 1879, congratulated the country upon this fact and upon the consequent revival of business. The public debt was materially reduced, and at the eloso of his term the' country was in a more prosperous and peaceful condition than when he went into office.

II is l.ll'e of l.iite Years.

Mireli 4, lssi, he was succeeded in the presidency by Mr. tiarlield and had since resided at his home at Fremont, O. Since his retirement from political life he had been actively engaged iu educational, philanthropic and other work of general interest.

CAUSE OK BUTLER'S DEATH.

BOSTON, .Jan. 18.—It is stated that an autopsy on t.he body of (Jen. Butler previous to interment showed that the cause of death was the bursting of a small blood vessel on the brain, caused by violent fit of couching. All the internal organs were found to be in excellent condition, and but for the accidental cause of his death he would probably have lived many years. His brain weighed four ounces more than that of Daniel Webster, which was one of the largest on reeoiV,
