The InlloomK arc Hie name- ofa«eu<h nlreaib FT? *’ * «?'<’EXE MOR ROW l inn I i rove Secretary Hunt has sent a vessel I in search of the lost Jeannette. Grant is in hard luck. Yesterday ■ he was robbed of his badges and decorations. The Star Route frauds were being carried on for the purpose of enriching | a few officials and buying Indiana for Garfield. _ Recent developments are establishing the fact that the fraudulent administration was the most corrupt in the history ot tne country. —We see it stated that the author of “A Fool’s Errand” spent fifteen years of his life in writing the book. A man that will spend fifteen minuites on such a silly and nonsensical thing as i- A Fool’s Errand ’ ought to be put up at a ten-cent shooting match. ,—Grant, in a recent letter to a New Yorker, calls Conkling and Platt.‘-our Senators.' Can it be that Illinois is to be no longer the home of the tanner President? — Fort ID/yne Gazette, Funny to see such bits of sarcasm in a Republican paper, indeed. By the time another year rolls around the Ga-, srtte will speak of Grant as the whis . key bloat President. —lt is altogether probable that Chas. Foster will be the Republican candidate tor governor of Ohio again this year. If he is and the Democrats put in nomination some good man, who is sound on the important questions of the day. clear iu his knowledge of | finance, and free from any suspicion of corruption, the great state of Ohio will surely fall into the Democratic line. ' Foster is becoming very unpopular with tbe better element of his party, and with the assistance of Garfield s administration he will be reduced to a very small political leader —Senator Voorhees regrets very much that the obligations of secrecy are so binding as to render it dishonorable for him to tell a dissatisfied constituency why he voted for the confirmation of Stanley Matthews as Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Democrat is disposed to believe that the distinguished Senator's constituency are not pressing him very hard for an explanation. The act in itself was sufficiently foolish and inconsistent on the part of the Senator, and shockingly repulsive to the Senator's constituency, therefore let him not further arouse their ire by offering an explanation. Senator Voorhees' vote would have preventedthe chief conspirator of the foulest crime in ancient or modern history from occupying a seat on the Supreme Bench of the United States, but he preferred to vote for the confirmation, therefore rewarding crime and displeasing his constituents. No explanation is required, as it will not right the wrong. The act admits of no palliation whatever, and Senator Voorhees is sadly at fault in his knowledge of the human mind if he thinks the great body of Democrats will except his explanation. Let him keep the secret, endeavor to profit by ■his folly, and never again outrage the people who trusted in him and placed him in the exalted position he occupies. tl.tlvM, A Ballot in Joint Convention With Xo Result. Albany, June I.—The senate and general assembly met in joint convention to ballot for United States senators. The first vote in joint convention was ns follows: IV; the abort tern;, Conkling, 35 ;jWhceler, 22; Rogers, 15 ; Fenton, 3 ; Pomeroy, 2 ; Ediek, I , Wadsworth, 1 : Jacobs, 5 ; Cornell, II ; Crowley, 3 ; White, 2 ; Bradley, 1 . Folger, 2 ; balance scattering. The vote to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of I‘latt resulted as follows: _ Platt. 29; Depew, 25; Kernan, 53; Folger, 4; Cornell. 12; Davis, 2: Lapham 8; Miller. 8; Crowley, 4: Evarts, 3; Dutcher, 2; Morton, 1: Wadsworth. 2; Tremaine, 1; Ward, 3; Rogers, 1. The chair announced no choice had been made to fill either vacancy, and the joint convention adjourned to meet to-morrow at noon. It is rumored that Governor Cornell will not insist on declining to permit his name to be used as a candidate in the senatorial contest, as McCarthy has not received any letter from the governor refusing the use of bis name. - Why don't somo republican from! the inner circle rise wp and explain ' how those double tickets were voted by that party last fall? Conner, of Newton couuty, has brought the subject up again, it would now be a good time —• to discuss tbe thing, as it might throw l'gl:t C»* the method by wlncl: several precincts in this state counter out more balloU than there were name; on the tally-sheets. It might evei lift the veil a little ou some of th precincts in DeKalb county.— \iAur ■ Cfitritr

MR. BI tBXE'S DEXIALSHow They are Regarded In Washington. Washington. March 29.—Mr. Maci Vcagh and Mr. James deny more tm- ' phatieally than at first that they have I found anything iu their investigations i into the Star Route frauds implicat- ■ I ing Mr. Blaine, and Mr. Blaine recites ; ' sundry things he went to New York for, ; i without including anything relating to ; ' this subject. ; i Now, it never having been charged, I so far as I know, that Mr. Blaine has j been implicated by anything these gentlemen have either said or done as investigators, these denials are quite superfluous. They do not touch the case. ■ Nor does Mr. Blaine's explanation of I the objects of his visit do much better. j He is not expected to explain everything. The country is familiar with Mr. Blaine’s methods in such things. He is an expert at it. People rememI her the Little Rock Railroad matter ! and the Muligan letters. In those and other similar matters which it has been Mr. Blaine's luck to get mixed up with, his explanations were as simple , and explicit as the present one, and ; just as satisfactory. As to this matter, them in no necessity for haste. The truth travels slowly. If the investigated turn investigators and make a success, the fact ought to to be known. No one is disposed to believe that Mr. Mid eigh or Mr. James intended to mislead the I public mind The fact is. I presume, ! they know nothing of the truth of the | i reports concerning Mr. Blaine. The i ’ denial of a charge never made rather ' I lends credibility to the one really made. ; It locks like throwing dust-a sham. It would appear, however, to be the best that can be said or done in the present instance. I will say this: if the report is i false, it is remarkable it should come from so many different quarters, too varied to admit of the f <i pint to damase Mr. Blaine, or to get even with him. Certainly not all are anti-Blaine men who give cur-; renev to it, nor do they hesitate to repeat it since the pretended denial. And I yet a sufficient explanation to exculj pate Mr. Blaine is certainly possible. | That will be in order when the facts i are given to the public. Emigrants arrived at New York yesterday, 4,363. The New York brewers arc to. strike for shorter hours. A German university is proposed, to be established in Milwaukee, Wis., to cost $1,000,000. The mortality report of the city of Chicago for last week shows that there were 266 deaths. The old board of directors of the New York Central and Hudson river railroads have been re-elected. The Garman reichstag has indorsed the proposal of the government fixing the duty on flour at 3 marks per 100 kilogrammes. At North Brookfield, Massachusetts, Miss Nellie Murphy had her head cut off in an elevator in Bachelor’s boat shop. John Sargent, the well known American artist, has been given one of twelve medals awarded by the Salon jury for painting. A woman who keeps a lager-beer saloon in New York was arrested in the very act of firing the house for the sake , of the insurance money. The managers of mail steamship companies have been requested to protect the mails from the ravages of rats during their transit across the Atlantic. Sequin, of the Paris Telegraph, who was murdered by a Tunisian fanatic, was an accomplished author. His book entitled ‘-The Next War” attracted much attention on the continent. The United States news company has began business in New York- The President and general manager is M. M. Chapman, nearly eighteen years with the American news company. Dillon's letter to the British erovernI ment, in which he protests against his incarceration, has been called for in the house of commons. Mr. Gladstone is willing that it shall be made public. The Irish executive has strongly represented to the home government that unless the land league is suppressed there will be a conflict between armed masses of the people and the troops. Slosson’s challenge to Vignaux, the great French billiardist, is to play a game for 5,000 francs a side, 3.000 points up ; the game to be played within twenty-five days at the Grand Hotel, Paris. A bill which has passed the New York legislature provides for the payment of a tax of $1 for each immigrant brought to New York by steamship, to be applied te emigration inspection.
