"KB. BLAISE AID OTTBFHLTES. Under the above caption the Washington Post eUrtles ia readers with a vety frank editorial, in which it discusses Mr. Blaine's chances for the presidency in 1884, and tbe probability of the democracy supporting him. As the Post is the democratic organ its utterances on this subject at the present time are significant. IU text for the editorial is the South American policy of the ex-secreta-ry, and ita material portion is as follows: "Mr. Blainb's policy had for its scope the commercial annexation of the South Americas republics to the United States, and the result would have been, had he retained tbe direction of the foreign affairs of the government, a speedy building up of our merchant marine, and tbe acquisition of $150,000,000 of trade per annum now transacted by English merchants and English vessels. The silly assertion which we too frequently meet in our contemporaries, that the Post is Mr. Blaine's organ, or that ita ediior is busy in organising a boom for him for the Presidency, haa no broader baaia than the fact that as Amerioan?, as citizens patriotically intereated in the growth and prosperity of tbe.country, we instantly accepted Mr. Blaina's policy as both right and advantageous. We differ with that gentleman on many questions. We have found in hii public career much to condemn but we are sufficiently masters of ourselves and journalism to be aile to aommeed whatever we believe to be commendable. Therefore, we say as frankly as we know how to write it, and yet without so much as the intimation of such a purpose on our part or any belief that it will be acceptable to Mr. Blaine, we shall be much more likely to support Mr. Blaine for the presidency in 1884 on a platform such as he has laid down in hia brief occupancy of the state department than many democrats whom we could n#me on an opposing theory. Mr. Blaine's policy is the democratic policy—the policy of Monroe, of Jackson, of Douglas, and of Buchanan. To sustain him in his efforts to bind, in a friendly and trade reciprocating confederation, the South American powers, to insist with him that the United States, and not Eogland, nor France, nor Germany, shall control any isthmian route that may be constructed to maintain frith him that Great Britain shall not, either by force or diplomacy, obtain possession of the Sandwich Islands, is not an abandonment of the democratic party, but rather its conservation and defense. We welcome Mr. Blaine as a champion of these dootrines. We shall not be sorry to see him the leader of that great army of Americans who firmly believe in them and are willing to contend for them. Laggards must not complain if they are left behind. It is proper and a most fit occasion to say that in giving Mr. Blaine's opinions or utterances publicity we neither suffer nor cause embarrassment. Mr. Blaine is not and can not be responsible for anything that appears in this paper, nor are we by approving a single act thereby committed to the indorsement of any other. We trust our narrow-minded critics may be able to understand our position and state it fairly when they care to state it all."

Of course the appearance of such an article in a leading democratic paper causes much comment, and some go so far as to assert that Mr. Blaine sanctioned its publication, and that it IcokB toward a strong democratic support of him in the south, where the people will rally for tho next campaign on a strong aggressive policy toward Mexico and other states to the south of us. The "aggressive policy toward Mexico" has an old familiar ring, and is a cry which has been resurrected semi-occasionally since the war, as a means of conciliating the south. It was raised during both of Grant's ^administrations. During the time of peaceful Hayes it was proposed to annex five or six Mexican states. Within the last year it has been proposed to open up Mexico through a thorough system of railroads, and thus obtain possession of the country, while now it is to be done through electing Mr. Blaine president and pursuing, an aggressive poliry. It is a grand scheme which can never be put in operation. While it is true the democratic leaders have no hope of electing a presideut in 1884, it is equally true the leadera will never consent to go out of the party for a candidate. Their exgprienee with Greeley ia 1872 was such as to preclude the possibility of a repetition of the experiment beaidis which there are too many favorite sons who are willing to sacrifice themselves by accepting the empty honor. Politics makes strange bedfellows, but we do not believe the political millenium will arrive during the lifetime of Mr. Blaine, or before the democratic party passe* out of existence.

Hon. George B. Slecth died at his residence in Rushville on Monday night. He was born in New York city July 4,1838, a few eks after the arrival of bis parents fr©n Ireland. Hia parents died while he was a child. He made his way to Rushville, where he worked aa day laborer on a farm, saying money sufficient to pay for two terms of schooling at Farmers' college, near Cincinnati. He read law with the late Governor Sexton and Geo. C. Clark, and was their law partner for some years. Mr. Sleeth was regarded as a clear-headed lawyer, and was one of the best speakers at the eastern Indiana ttr. He was a member of the state senate in 1872 and 1874, aa well as a member of the lower house in 1879. He was always a leader, and possessed many qualities that endeared him, to his .fellows and secured him a large following. He leavaa a wife and three daughters.

Postmaster James A. Wildman, of Indianapolis, denies that he ia a candidate for the championship of the state republican committee. He says the dnties of his office required all his time %pd attention.

There is a rumor that the pope ia about to create the office of papal delegate to the United States, and that Bishop Fit* gerald, of Little Rock, Ark., will be the [appointee.

In reporting the bill giving Mr?. Garfield a pension the senate committee on pensions gives the follewing reasons for placing ttte widows of President! Tyler and Polk on the list:

In April, 1879, Julia Gardner Tyler, widow ef John Tyler, formerly president cf the United States, appealed to congress to allow her a pension on account of her poverty. In December, 1880 her prayer was granted, and she was allowed tbe sum of SI,2)0 per annum. Your committee has been informed from reliable sources that the sum allowed Mrs. Tyler is her sole means of support. Your committee has also been Informed that Mm Sarah Childress Polk, widow of James K. Polk, president of the United States, la at an advanced ace living in the 8tate of Tennessee, without a sufficient income to support her in the condition that she haa heretofore lived, and not in such condition as a woman who has been the wife cf the chief magistrate of the United States is expected to live.

It Is painful to contemplate the fact that the widows of these illustrious men who have served the country in such high capacity thould be in such straightened circumstances in their old age, and your committee are of opinion that the entire people of the United 8tate will heartily approve a measure that shall put them be* yond want, and your committee therefore report the accompanying bill as a substitute for senate bill No. 876, with a recommendation that It do pass.

The prevailing smallpox epidemic is causing much speculation, as to the bent preventive mefsures. Now that vaccination has become almost universal other means are being talked of freely. The Louisville Courier-Journal recently said

An instance of the efficacy of cream tartar as a prophylactic against the infection of smallpox has been recently demonstrated in a prominent family of Louisville. Several weeks ago a case of smallpox was developed in tbe houre, and was sent to the eruption hospital promptly, aa soon £8 the nature of the disease was established beyond a doubt, but not before all the members oi the family had been exposed to the tontageon for two or three days. By the advice of a friend, the family was induced to drink freely and often of c" earn tart:r water, in the proportion of an ounce to a pint of water. Bvery member ol tbo family has so far escaped, while the coachman, who waited occasionally on the sick man, acd who did not drink the cream tartar water, contractfd the disease and is now a patient at the pest hcu£e. All fear of the reappearance of the dkease in the family has been dissipated, and the use of this simple remedy as a prophylatic and a modifier of smallpox is recommended.

On Monday evening about 8 o'clock, Ella Bowlin, of Brookvllle, about twenty-two years of age, attempted to commit suicide by shooting herself with a twenty-two caliber pistol.

Three youths of Washington, Indiana-Al-bert Kocher, Peter Snyder and Henry Herrtho latter lately porter at the Hyatt House, were out hunting Thursday. While they were marching single file Kocher's gun was accidentally discharged and

its

contents lodged in

young Heri's shoulder, making an ugly and quite dangerous wound, Robert Houston, an old citizen of Monroe county, committed suicide by hanging last Saturday, at hts home in Hiudostan. He had previously made attempts on his life without success. A few days ago he tried to kill himself by ramming his head with great force against tho wall of his house he also swallowed a bottle of ink, thinking that would destroy life. The reason for the act is thought to ba on account of a threatened indictment in the United States Court for selling liquor without government license. He had beea brooding over the matter for several weeks. He waa about sixty-three years of agp, a prominent Democrat of considerable local influence, and at one time a Baptist preacher.

On Sunday night an attempt was made W burglarize Myer's saloon at lunnelton, Lawrence county. Mr. Myers had teen BOtffied of the attempt to be made, and secured several of his neighbors to assist him in guarding his property. Armed with revolvers and shot-Runs, they quietly watched until midaight, when tour burglars appeared upon the scene. As aoon as they were fairly at work upon effecting an entiauce the guards opened fire. Two were instantly killed and one mortally wounded. He was alive at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, but his death was hourly expected. Myers had been paid a large sum of money Saturday, and it is supposed the robbers expected to secure it. 1 he plot waa given away by one of their number. Numerous petty larcenies have taken place in the vicinity during the Dast year and the vicin« lty hns borne an unenviable reputation for small thieving.

On Monday afternoon a courier from Brown couGty brought to Columbus the news of anothor murdvr. which occurred Sunday night, th? account being as follows: Two men, named Jake Painter and Tom Robir.son. living in or near Little Salt Creek, became engaged In a [uarrel, tbe cause being a woman, and in the difficulty Bobinson struck Painter twice on the bead with an axe, killing him instantly. On account of the isolate spot where the murder occurred, and the wildntssol the country, the murderer had no difficulty in successfully escaping at the time, and is still at large, although the country is being i-eoured. Great excitement prevail!, as murders are -becoming altogether too common in Prowu county, the law .IJUIUIUU 1U apparently doing but little to avert them. Saould tbis murderer be captured before, the excitement dies out. it is feared he will be lynched.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

WASHINGTON, February 7.—The substitute presented in the House for the Morrill Crapo-Hardenburg bill, extending the charters cf 393 National Banks, provides that the consent in writing of not less than two-thirds of the capital stock of .the association shall be required to an amendment of the articles of association, in applying for extension under the provisions of the act, and such coneent shall be certified by the president or cashier to the Comptroller of the Carrency, and it is made mandatory upon the Comptroller of the Currency, to grant or withhold bia certificate of approval, as the examination provided for by the act .may diecloee that the affairs of the association are in a satisfactory condition or otherwise. Three new sections are added to the substitute bill, providing for the disposition of stock by any shareholders who may refuse consent the extinction or cancellation of the old note* and the issue of new ones to banks which have extended their charters, and that National Banks which do not avail themselves of the provision* of the sclt and whose corporate existence shall expire, shall be required to comply with tbe provisions of the Revised Statutes iu the same manner as if the shareholders had voted to go into liquidation.

The report of the committee accompanying the bill 3»ys: Iu forming a judgment on the wisdom of the proposed legislation extending the corporate existence of the National Bmkp, it is proper to consider what the result of a failure of Congress to act will have upon the paper circulation of the country. In the absence of any authority to continue their buftineas, within the next twelve months, 393 banks must go into liquidation. This will compel the withdrawal of $69,160,980 in lawful money now in active circulation, in order to procure $75,768,700 in United States bonds lodged with the Comptroller, and which the liquidating banks will withdraw for sale and for tbe purpose of closing their affairs and making a division of their assets. Upon one single day—February 25,1883—the charters of 297 banka will expire, involving the return to the Treasury of $54,000,000. It is not difficult to conjecture the influence of such a contraction of the currency upon the business of the country and the values of property. Even if every National Bank should reorganize by making a new association under the existing law, the deposit of legal tender notes or lawful money mast precede the withdrawal of the United States bonds held by tbe Government,which withdrawal becomes necessary in the settlement of the affairs of the bank. Your committee having oarefully considered the important questions involved in|the continuance and discontinuance of the National Banks, recommend the passage of the accompanying substitute bill.

Representative Buckner, who was granted permission by the committee to make a minority report, reported as a substitute a bill which was ordered printed in connection with the majority report.

CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS. WASHINGTON, February 7.—The Senate Finance Committee referred Beck's bill to prevent the unlawful certification of checks by National Banks to th® Secretary of the Treasury for his opinion. Ths sentiment of the committes apparently favored the bill, and if the Secretary of the Treasury approves it, and it is believed thaw be will, the measure will be favorably reported, Beck has information to the tfleet that reputable banks generally desire the passage of this law. The over certification of checks, so it is alleged, is indulged in by a few reckless banks, which are thus enabled to do a business in »xcess of their legitimate means, and thoee banks which make it a rale to comply with the law want to eee all the others required to abide by it. Beck says the importance of the measure is generally conceded, and he has no doubt of its ultimate passage.

Foreign News.

PARLIAMENT RIAS8IMBLED. LONDON, Feb. 7.—Parliament reassembled lo-day. The Queen's Bpeeoli is as follows:

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMAN It is with mucfc satisfaction that I again invite your advice and assistance in the conduct of public affairs.

I have given my approval to a marriage between Prince Leopold and Princcss Helena, of Waldock. I have every reason to believe this will bo a happy union.

I continue in relations of cordial harmony with all foreigp powers. The treaty for the cession of Thessallv to Greese has now been executed in the main provisions. The transfer of the sovereignty and occupation was effected in a manner honorable to all concerned. In concert with the President of the French Republic I have riven careful attention to Che affairs^ of Egypt where existing arrangements imposed on me special obligations. I shall UBC my influence to maintain the rights already established whether by the firmans of tne Sultan or by various international engagements, in a spirit favorable to the good government of the country and tho prudent development of its institutions.

I have pleasure in informing you that the restoration of peace beyond the northwestern frontier, together with continued internal tranquility, plentiful seasons and the increase of revenue, has cnablad my government in India to resume theworks of public utility which has been suspended, and devote its attention to measures for tho further improvement of the condition of the people.

The convention with the Transvaal has been ratified by a representative of the assembly and I have seen no reason to qualify my anticipations to its advantageous working. I have, however, to reeret tlial although hostilities have not been renewed in the Basutoland country they still remain unsettled.

GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS: The estimates for the service of the year are in an advanced stage of preparation, and will be promptly submitted to you. .,

My communications with France on the subject of a new commercial treaty have not been closed. They will be prosecuted by me, as they have already informed you, with a desire to coneludo the treaty favorable to extended intercourse between the two nations to whose close amity I attach so great a value. The trade of the country, both domestic and foreign, has for some time been improving, and tho mildness of the winter has been eminently suited to farming operations. Better prospects are, I trust, thus opened for the classes immediately concerned in agriculture. The public revenue, which is greatly, though not always at once, affected by the state of industry and commerce, has not yet exhibited the upward movement in preparation to their increased activity.

THE IBI3H QUESTION.

The condition of Ireland at this time as compared with that which I described at the beginning of last year shows signs of improvement and encourages the hope that perseverance in the course you have pursued will be rewarded with the happy results which are so much desired. Justice has been administered with greater efficacy, and intimidation, which has been employed to deter the occupiers of the /and from fulfilling their obligations and from availing themselves of the acts of the last session, shows upon the whole a diminished force. My efforts, through the.bounty of Providence, has been favored by an abundant harvest in that portion of the Kingdom. In addition to the vigorous execution of the provisions ot ordinary law I have not hesitated, under tne painful necessity of the case, to employ largely the exceptional powers entrusted tome for the protection of lifej and property by the two acts of the last sesiion.

You will be invited to deal with the proposals for the establishment in English and the Welsh counties of local selfgovernment which has so long been enjoyed by the towns, together with enlarged powers of administration and with financial changes, which will give you the opportunity cf considering, both as to town and county, what way will be the proper extent and most equitable and provident form of contribution from imperial taxes in relief of local charges. These proposals, insofar as they are financial, will apply to the whole of Great Britain. It will be necessary to reserve the case of Ireland for separate consideration in connection with the general subject of load administration.

I have directed a measure to be prepared and submitted to you for a reform of the ancient aad distinguished corporation of London and for the extension of municipal government to the metropolis at large.

The bills will again be laid before you with which, during the last session, notwithstanding the length of its duration and your unwearied labors, it waa found impossible to proceed. I refer particularly to those conoerning bankruptcy, ths repression of corrupt practices at elections and conservancy of rivers and prevention of floods. Measures will also be proposed to you with respect to the criminal code and to the consolidation and amendment of the laws affecting patents The interests of some portion of the Kingdom have suffered pecuniarily of lata years from the extreme pressure ol public business on your time and strength, but I trust that during the session yon may be able to consider the bills which will be presented to you in relation to law of entail and of educational endowments in Scotland, and to improve the means of education in Wales.

I commend these and other subjects with confidence to your care, and it is my earnest prayer that your wisdom and energy may, under the blessing of God, prove equal to the varied and Increasing needs of this extended empire.

The speech was read by Lord Selborne. BRADLA.UGH After the new members had been sworn in, Bradlaugh advanced to take the oath, Sir Stafford Northcote moved that he not be allowed to swear. Bradlaugh, at the request of the Speaker, withdrew, asking that he be allowed a hearing before the question is decided.

Harcourt, in the absence of Gladstone, moved the previous question. He advised the Honse that as Bradlaugh had been admitted to affirm, subject to the decision of a court of law, he be now allowed to swear similarly. The proposition received ironical cheers.

Bradlaugh, addressing the House from the back, declared most solemnly that the Parliamentary oath would be binding upon his honor and conscience.

Gladstone maintained that the House could only see the formalities of the oath observed, and could not inquire into Bradlaugh's opinions.

Northcote's motion was then adopted 286 to 227. The Speaker ordered Bradlaush to withdraw. Bradlaugh at first refused, but withdrew upon a motion being agreed to ordering him to withdraw, and which Gladstone said be would npt oppose.

Sexton gave notice of a bill to repeal the coercion act. In the House of Lords, in the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech, the Marquis of Salisbury, Conservative, made a violent attack on the Government.

Earl

Granville,Foreign Secretary,

repled. The Marquis cf Salisbury said Gladstone's utterances in 1880 and the recent conduct of the Government with regard to Turkish affairs, tended to separate England from Germany. He hoped the Government would co-operate with the Sultan and with France, so long as their lines of policy were parallel, but would reserve the liberty to diverge when interests in the East prompted them to act differently. He deprecated tha policy of neutralization. Referring to Ireland, he declared the unexampled state of affairs there would not have been allowed to exiet in Francs or America for six months. He considered the royal speech an exhortation to persevere in the course previously pursued, which ia, he said, let anarchy have its way, and offer a sop to those whom we hope to conciliate because we are unable to conquer them. He concluded his speech with these words: "The eountry expects the Government to meet the calamity of which the doctrines they have preached have been the cause."

SYMPATHY WITH TUB JBW3. At a great meeting at Birmingham yesterday letters were read from John Bright and Joseph Chamberlain,expressing sympathy with the persecuted Jews in Russia. THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROTECT THBM.

GAMBITTA'S LAST RESORT.

PARIS, Feb. 7.—A hundred and five members of the Chamber of Deputies promised to join the Republican Union, which is about to be revived.

AYOOB KAHN.

LONDON, Feb. 7.—Letters from Meshed, January 21st, state that Ayoob Kahn intends to remain there, contrary to the wish of the Persian government.

Hancock in Arkansas* LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 7.—General W. S. Hancock arrived in this city this morning at five o'clock. After a brief rest he visited the United States arsenal where he was received with a salute of thirteen guns. Later was held an informal reception at the residence of Major John D. Adams, where he was received by a number of citizens. He leaves this afternoon for FriaraJPoint, Miss., where he goes to visit his son Russell who is largely engaged in planting near that town. During the firing of the salute a premature discharge took place, blowing off the right arm of a man named Mets, a member of the Fourth artillery.

Dakota Crook,

CHICASO, Feb. 7.—The Sheriff of Bonhomme cosnty, Yankton, has arrested Chas. T. McCoy en a charge of removing the county bond register, which shows a bonded indebtedness of $40,000 bearing 10 percent, interest, though there is little to show for such expenditure, nor for what or to whom the bonds have bees isaued.

In the rear and on the left are the judges and scoffers, surrounding Pontius Filate, wbo are looking with fierce complacency on their work.
