The Connecticut republicans were successful on Monday, and the legislature is largely repablic&n.

Mr. Blaine has been put on canvass, and will centinne to haunt the state department in that shape for many years to come.

The new Russian minister, accompanied by a large retinue, is expected to arrive in Washington in a few days via San Francisco.

Bills appropriating $1,175,000 for public buildings at Louisville, Rochester, Columbus and Minneapolis, have passed the house.

Anti-prohibition was generally successful in Kansas on Monday last, which looks as though the people of the state are tired of the measure, and will repeal it upon the first opportunity.

Cincinnati republicans evince a disposition to sit down on Deacon Smith of the Gazette. His Scotch notions of law and order caused a general smash up in the party in Ohio on Monday.

It is a debatable question whether the Utah commission will have jurisdiction in the Mormon counties of Idaho or not. If it has the democratic member of congress for that territory will be succeeded by a republican.

Boston culture received a black eye in Chicago the other day. The county board ordered the substitution of sauerkrout for beans at the poor house. When esthetic taste conflicts with affairs of state it must go to the wall.

Mrs. Mackey, of bonanza fame, denies the story that her daughter is to marry Prince Phillippe de Bourbon, and in the denial shows rare contempt for fortunehunting bachelors. She seems to think that every man should scratch gravel for his own fortune, as her husband did, and she is right.

Senator Miller, of California, has gone off on his political ear. He is going to have his state take the matter in its own hands and keep away the Chinese. A number of southern states contended for a similar principle some years ago, and have been wishing ever since that they had less experience in the matter.

An effort will be made to unite the two branches of the Methodist churoh at the general conference of the church south in Nashville in May next, but it is not thought that it will be successful. The northern bracch has nearly all the wealth, and the more prominent members object to having their money drained to the south.

The judiciary committee of one branch of the Massachusetts legislature have decided that women may vote at Presidential elections. If this view is indorsed by the entire legislature and ratified by the people, there will be a lively time in Massachusetts in 1884, compared with which the stump speaking in other states would be a very dry business.

The star routers again expect to have the indictments against them quashed, and there is a general feeling in Washington that it will be done, on the ground that they should have been returned in accordance with the Maryland act of 1722, which has not been done. If the court makes such a ruling, prosecution in a number of the cases will be outlawed by the statute of limitations.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says: "The presbytery of the Philadelphia central to-night adopted a resolution disapproving of the act of Bev. Dr. A. A. Willitts, a member of the presbytery, in delivering on a Sabbath afternoon, in a Cincinnati opera house, at an engagement of the Unity Club, a lecture for which an admission fee was charged. The resolulutlon at the same time expressed the confidence of the presbytery in the piety and seal of their brother."

BKABI.I GASES.

The Duke of Counaught has a residence in London which was erected for him a short time ago at a cost of $200,000. Every care was taken in its construction, and the instructions about ventilation and drainage were very particular. In spite of all this the duchess was recently removed from it becauFe her physicians discovered unmistakable signs of blood poisoning. In speaking of what happened at the house a London journal says:

Guests had scarcely arrived before unpleasant gmpiia were detected. Every one talked about the ofibntlve exhalations. Complaints were made of headaches, nausea, sore throat, and'all the premonitory symptoms of serious illness but who could conceive it possible that a bouse like this could contain a sanitary fault? Little did any one imagine the pest-place it was. At last the drain demon was not to be stopped, and he seized upon the young another who was everything in that happy household. Providentially, she was removed before it was too late she sickened at Bagshot and recovered at Windsor. When her Koyal Higbntss was safe out of harm's way a sanitary inspection was ordered thoroughly to test the imperfections of Bagshot Park. The public must be astounded at the alarming character of the report made by Mr. Rogers Field. Not even the commonest precautions appear to have been taken. The bath drains were in unbroken connection with soil drains, the unventilated trap forming no security against the passage of foul air. All the pipes in the house and immediately around it were found, without exception, to be leaky, and some of them exceedingly so the bath and sink drain under the honse was so completely stopped up with a slimy deposit that it was some time before any water could pass down It bnt the worst feature of all remains to be described. It was discovered, on examining the basement, that a vertical lead pipe, "intended for a sink that had not been fixed," had been left unsealed, and in immediate connection with the coil drains, so that under the floor of this msgolficent mansion was a poison-hole, bringing up effluvia of the most pestilential kind.

In England, too, they are more than usually careful in the erection of their buildings to make them secure in a sanitary point of view, but in providing fer royalty the builders eeem.to be very careless. The almost fatal illness of the Prince of Wales some years ago caused an investigation which revealed the fsct that the sewerage of Saiidringham palace was in a most deplorable condition, being enough to bring ruin and death to the most robust constitution. A little over three years ago the Princess Alice died of diphtheria caused in the same manner. The manner in which the building became saturated with poison is thue described by the London Telegraph:

The drainage system in London and its suburbs was supposed to be as good as any in the world, and yet the more luxurious society becomes the greater Is the danger of poison. Underneath our houses, or In Immediate vicinity to them, runs a huge common sewer, to breathe which is deadly. The more bath rooms that are required, the more sinks that are set, the more pipes that are run underneath the floors, obviously the more danger there is of Inhaling this pestilential poison. No bath is possible without an overflow pipe, and in scores of casts that pips communicates with the common drain, and when open admits into the house the death-giving vapor. The sink over which the servant presides is also often a facile tunnel straight Into this terrible sewer, and we have it on the authority of nearly every practical sanitary engineer that the ordinary waste pipe used fer the overflow of water in every domestic cistern Is an exposed vent up which the fatal vapor arises to poison the unwary household.

In the construction of briek or stone buildings too much care cannot be exercised in guarding against disease caused by foul gasen. It has been demonstrated that ordinary coal gas will penetrate stonework, and that the breath can be driven through the brick with sufficient force to deflect (he flame of a candle on the other side. Sewerage gas penetrates with as much, or greater force, and where it is found chlorine gas is strongly recommended as the best disinfectant.'

Slim Sara Bernhardt is married at hst. She has captured a Grecian gentleman named Damata, and the ceremony waa performed in St. Andrew's church, Wells, England, on Tuesday morning. As the statement is made that the couple will perform in London in May it is presumed the groom is an actor. He is described as a fine looking, middle aged man, said to be tolerably ricb. His wife is worth 1,200,000 francs. Bernhardt gave no previous notice of the wedding. At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the gentleman called at the church and said he desired to make arrangements for a marriage. The official informed him a license was necessary. The gentleman left the church to procure a license, and having obtained it returned accompanied by Bernhardt. The latter wore a close fitting sealskin cloak trimmed with fur. A French lady and gentleman and the officials of the church were the only witnesses. The opportunity of marrying an unmarried lady with a ready made family rarely presents itself, and when it does it is seldom taken advantage of.

TLe president need never be at a loss for advice. He receives it in abundance. Scarcely a day is silowed to paes that some new tcheme is not invented and set afloat for him. While he is studying the papers are planning for him, but their advice is rarely accepted. Here is the latest production, originating with the Washington Post: It iB teported and credited by a number cf persons cspable of icliable information, that the president haB determined to recall Minister Lowell and tender the mission to Governor Cornell. This would be a sagacious and adroit movement on the part of the president, and go a good ways toward strengthening faith with a very large and influential class, besides in a large measure pacifying New York republican politics.

In case of the nomination of Judge Folger for the governorship of New York—a circumstance very likely to occur—it would be very gratifying to Indiana if the president would promote Hon. John C. New to the secretaryship of the treasury. He has proven his fitness for this responsible position, and has earned it by devoted and valuable services to the republican party.

A bill has passed the house taxing all kinds of adulterated wines, all of which are required to have affixed to them a government stamp. If the law is rigidly enforced very little wine will be exposed for sale without the stamp, unless manufacturers change their present mode of operations.

LESSONS OF THE ELECTION. The township elections of last Monday, in this county, furnish food for thought, and prove the advantage of well-directed effort and the danger of apa hy and dissensioa. That Vigo county is republican and can b« kept solby WDpermanagemwt is undeniable.

In Harrison township Iftttia Finkbiner's triumphant election shows the advantage of having a strong and popuT&r candidate, Tb* defeat of Lawrence Burget, a good and popular maa,.sbow8 the. danger of over confidence *and the value oi a few voWs It is common to hear reprafeHcawrf say, "What a pity he was beaten," but a alight additional effort would have easily elected Mr. Burget. The same is true, of Messrs. Lickman and Matthew*. Anything near a full vote would have made fc clean sweep for our ticket.

In Honey Creek township, 8. T. Jones, another live republican and strong worker, is elected trustee over, Albert Sherman, democrat and national by 160 to 151 votes. The republioan constables were also elected.

In Riley tqwnship F. Y. Brill, & popular republican, was elected by 39 majority. The republicans also elected T. 1). Palmer justice of the. peace. This is a gratifying result and very encouraging.

In Pieraon township excellent-work was done, John Harris, republican, being elected trustee over John Ferguson, democrat, and F. M. Pickens, republican, as, road superintendent, over Thomas Had ter, ^democrat. Pretty good for a town' ship heretofore democratic.

In Sugar Creek township Bute, democratic candidate for trustee, was elected over John B, Goodman, republican, and M. T. Goodman, nationalThe" republican candidate is a first rate man, but lives- in the northwest comer of the township and had a sick, son which prevented him from making an active canvass, otherwise his vote would Ifave1 been much- larger., Newton Grier, republican, was elected aeasnor.

In Prairie Creek the republicans were beaten for the trusteeship in consequence of local,dissensiOflf". The/ elected their candidate for assessor,, S. C. Bynearson, by a large majority also Daniel Mater for justice by a small Majority.

We publish to-day a letter written by Hon. Schuyler Colfax, declining in positive terms to make the race for Congress in his district. The letter does hoBdr to his head and heart, but will be read with regret by his numerous friends. Mr. Colfax had had great experienfc# as ^legislator, and would be a very useful representative to his constituents. He has thousands of devoted friends throughout the country who would rejoice to see him again enter public life. Should he consent, to accept the nomination, his election by a large majority would be assured.!

Great credit is due the republican executive committee of HarrisoB^township for the recent victory. The members are as follow: 1st ward, Chauucey. B. Lee 2d ward, Jacob D. Early .3d ward, S. C. Siimson 4th ward, Jacob Steinmehl 5th ward, Harry Creager, sr. 6th ward, Frank Storz Harrison township, outside the city, CharleH L. Feltus. Chaunoey B. Lee, chairman S. C. Stimson, secretary J. D.Early, treasurer,.

See notice of the meeting at the City Hall this evening, called for the purpose of completing the charily organization. It is hoped that there may be a large attendance. This is an important matter and ought to receive the hearty co-opera-tion of the benevolent.

The prospects are good for the passage of the bill through the House authorizing the erection of a public building here. Representative Peirce has the matter in charge and wfll give it close attention.

The Chinese minister will leave Washington for Spain in about a week. After presenting his credentials he will remain about five months and then return to this country..

A County Seat War Ended. DETROIT, April 5.—Wexford county has long had a county seat war on itB hands, and the fight has_ raged along the line between Manton, which held the fort, and Cadillac, that laid siege thereto. Finally all the legal formalities necessary for the transfer have been complied witbj and the present week has witbessed the termination of the. contest. The Sheriff proceeded to Manton with twenty,assistants and removed some' of the records, but was met by a couple of hundred' Mantonians and driven off before all were secured. Returning for reinforcements, he was placed at the head of 300 etuidy Cadillacers, with a band of music, and again visited the enemy's stronghold, where he encountered determined resistance. Knives and clubs' were freely used, many cuts and bruises given and taken, but the invaders finally succeeded in battering in the windows and doors and securing the remainder of the county property, with which they retired from the field in triumph, and the cruel war was over.

Tli© Ht, Louis Gamblers. ST. LOUIS, April 5.—John D. Black has been found guilty of making a corrupt voluntary oath slandering and defaming ex-Governor Chas. P. Johnson, and fined $1,000. The Court of Appeals has affirmed the sentence of the lower court against Morgan Boland, ex-Police Commissioner, whs was fined $500 for a similar offense. These convictions arise oat of a recent fight on the gamblers by Governor Johnson, who procured the paes age of the act making gambling a felony, and insisted on the enforemet oi the law.

-:v .gHJUQ .:,f Senator Miller, of California, has lntroauced another. Chinese bill. It is the same as the vetoed bill except that it provides for the suspension of immigration for ten years* He says he expects other modifications to be made in committee with a view of making the bill conform as nearly, as practicable to the President's views as outlined in liis veto.

There is no good authority which assumes to have heard the President say so, a,nd some members of Coogtess Who supported the vetoed bill express doubt as to the President's approval ol a ten year bill.

SHIPHERD AGAIN.

Shipheid took his seat a,tth© wituess table.. Before any Questions liad b^en put to him he stated that he had btfylght. with him the ppsjtscript to the letter of May. 20th, which hu sou had failed or omitted to send with the other papas, but which1 he deemed necessary to supplement that letter. He then read the following letter, which, although it bore a separate date,.wag (SMpherd stated) the postscript to the letter before mentioned"1:'

£*V—Sincenny letter of yesterday was closed the' remarkable letter" of General Grant to Senator.,Jones has appeared in print here- and^har already .determined my clients to reconsider their intentiou to offer General Grant the presidency of this company, aud I am instructed to reopen tnis parcel and add this intimation of their eoi!rse. My" clients read General Graft's lqyir through business eyes only, but none the less it disturbs them. Am further -instructed to say my clients will be glad to consider any nominations to the Peruvian company which the President may be so good as to suggest., Among the many capable men, other conditions being equal, we shall ofcotirac prefer some one enjoyihg the President's -entire .confidence*

Very respectfully, J: R. SHTPHEIU),

To the President. After the letter had been read Shipherd desired to make an explanation which he deemed to be due to himself ana to the committee. He then stated that the Republican of this city printed what purported to be a statement of his (ah'ipherd's) to the Republican reporter to the effect that he proposed to create a sensation in the committee room, and asserted that he had never made any statement for publication outside of the committee room. On being questioned he admitted having had a conversation in ihe course of which he made statements something similar to those described in the newspaper article, but the person to whom lie talked was a private gentleman, having, so far as he knew, no connection with any newspaper and one who should have, known better than to repeat the conversation. He (Shipherd) had never authorized anything of the kind for publication. Shipherd was asked to state the name of the person with whom he had the conversation, but demurred. He said however, if he might be permitted to read the statement he had prepared he felt assured the committee would be satisfied that it covered all, the ground of the recebt Questions.' Shipherd then read from'a written statement' in which alluding to the sudden death of M}niBter Hurlbtit, he stated that he was confronted by the most unexpected embarrassm^bt inasmuch as the dead man had stood in the position of chief accuser, and'to go on would seem like attacking the character of one who had gone to meet his God and was estopped froth making any reply but in justice to himself and the great interests which had been confided to his keeping and discretiou he deemed it his duty to proceed just as if Hurlbut was living. The statement was a long and carefully prepared one, and Shipherd had already occupied spme fifteen minutes in reading when he was interrupted by Rice, who said "Speaking for myself, Sir. Shipherd, I desire to euggest to yoii that while you may state-your o*n impressions, of the character of the transactions in which you were interested, and your own motives in dealing with another, you should not fetata yoar impressions as to the character of another, or as to his motives."

Witness—The question right here—as I understand it-r-is: was there a corrupt proposition, intended to corrupt a public office^? When I was asked by the committee if I considered Minister Hurlbut purchasable, and I replied "most unquestionably," I did not mean that I had considered him merely purchasable, bnt 1 .meant that he would insist on being purchased, and on being so placed that he could in future help himself, and .that until he was so fixed, he would play dog in the manger, and in every way in his power thwart our purposes. I do not assert that he was not a pure and honorable man, but I do protest before that God whom he. has gone to meet, that my motive was simply and t, tha ely to pi choice iij, the matter now but to add that all my subsequent dealings with him justified my belief. He never was purchased, and all his subsequent acts were calculated to obstruct md fmstr^te OUr purposes, and in this be was fully seconded by his chief, the late Secretary of State, with modifications that I shall at the proper time offer.

Shipherd then went into an explanation of the facts that led him to make a charge of corruption against Minister Hurlbut. that he had been in the pay of

-b: flfvi bvy i-5K'"n ule-tfj .. '.d io id^la

I the Credit Industrial, Ac., and he stated the time of his arrest.

that be did not know that any such official charges were on record at the War De partment, but he had often he^rd it aa peried, and bad never seen kOentradicted. He then offered as part of his statement a copy pf the Aurora News, ia which the ehaixea he had alluded to were printed.

Rice objected to anything of tha kind, and suggested to the witaesa the PfR|ri ety of observing the proper distinction between legitimate evideaoe ar tb the facts, aod mere hearsay.

Chairman Williams here interposed aa explanation to the effect that when he put the question to witness which had been referred to^ it was not his object to an expression of opinion by way of 'prejudicing Minister Hurlbnt, bat simnl 4*4r*« from witaesahia [ShipherdV} ids l) of the character of the transacaion is which he [Shipherd] was engaged—to obtain his judgment as to what kind of transaction it was but by no means to elicit something to prejudice the case or ood name of Minister Hurlbut.

Rice remarked—Mr. Shipherd, yon have read a very long statement, covering a good deal of ground. As a lawyer jou should know what range the committee is entitled to take. Upon the cross examination of the witness I would like to inquire if. you expect to with held any facts touched opmT-or suggested in your statement?

Witness—I don't conceive of ear fact# in connection with this case that I could wish to withhold front ihe oonuaittee.

Rice—As yon will be examined by the committee fully upon the subject matter of your statement, I wish to suggest that yoa prepare yourself to answer the questions that will be submitted.

Witness—If Mr. Rice will pat me to the test I think he will be satis^e^. Adjourned.

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

THE IMPRISONED SUSPECTS, WASIKGTON, April 5.—The report of Secretary Frelinghuysen to the President in regard to the action taken by the State Department with reference to the American citizens imprisoned in Ireland under the English coercion act, shows that negotiations were commenced as early as the 22nd of June last, and have bcea kept up ever since, with the result that all but three of the prisoners have been released. On the above date the then Secretary wrote Lowell as follows "If American citizens, while within British jurisdiction, ofiend against British laws, this government will not seek to shield them: from the consequences of their acts, but it must insist uporf the application to their cases of those common principles of criminal jurisprudence which in the United States secure to every man who offends against ita laws, that the'accused person shall, immediately upon arrest, be informed of the specific crime or. offebse upon which he is held, and that he shall be offered antt£fportunity for a speedy trial" before an impartial court and jory, as essential tO every criminal prosecution—necessary alike to the protection of innocenee and the aecertainirient of'Snilt.""

Lowell replied to this: "It will give ine" great pleasure to communicate to Lord Granville the views you have so clearly and eloquently expressed aa to the injustice of Eome^of the features of the socalled protection aet, and especially to its retroactive character. But I would respectfully suggest whether aay steps would ba gained toward a speedy trial or release of Walsh by an argument againet the law itself under which he was apprehended, »o long as Lord Granville expressly declines to make distinctions between British subjects and American citizens, in the application of the law, a position which I presume may be justified by precedent under our diplomatic historf."

It appears that the following arreets and imprisonments of persons claiming to he American citizens were made after January, 1881, namely: M. B. Fog arty, Michael Boy ton, Daniel McSweeney, Henry O'Mahoney, James F. Dailey,

SAN FBANCEKXV April 5.—Tha Call publishes an interview with John ft Swift, ex-Treaty Comminsiocer to Chin% who says regarding the twenty years provi§ion tf the Chinese bill, that the Commissioners of both countries contemplated a considerably longer period when discussing the terms of the treaty. "The Chinese Commissioners understood even better than we did the problem of over competitioa in labor, and were willing to agree to a means of relief. The time of suspension was thoroughly discussed, and it was agreed that a suspension of thirty-three yiearsj or one generation, would be naccessary to remedy the evils complained of. 1 fully hoped the suspension oould have been proposed for thirty years, and the "Chinese Government would not have considered the faith of ihe treaty trespassed on if it had been made for fifty years, or even more."
