MAX LILIEJiTHAL, D. D.
Tbia dhtinguieed rabbi died st his home in Cincinnati on Wednesday night, from tbe effects of a paralytic stroke re ceived about two weeks ago.
Dr.
Lilien-
tbal was born in 1815, in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and from boyhood W3B educated for the Jewieb ministry. Alter completing a course in the high ecbocU he entered tbe tniverelly of that rity, passed with cm ice nee the sx^minaiion of the philofophical and theological facul• tiea tin! graduated in 1837 as doctor of philosophy. Having contributed several acientifie articles to the Jewish periodicals of that time, he received, in 1839, a call as director of the Hebrew school in Riga, Rusua.
The Kuesian Embassy of Munich recommended him highly to the secretaries of the inteiior and public instructions at St. Petersburg, and he was received by them in the moat encouraging manner. For his inaugural address at the opening of the new school he was rewarded by the Emperor Nicholas with a costly dimond ring. The school under his direction made such rapid progress that the imperial government ordered him to travel through the seventeen western provinces of the empire to encourage his coreligionists in opening schools and to prepare them for the plans inaugurated by the government for their better secular instruction.
He performed this ardous and importact mission in 1842 to the entire satisfaction of. the minister of public instruction, and was summoned to St. Petersburg as councilor in this department. There he remained until 1845, preparing the plans for primary, intermediate and Hebrew high schools, and would have remsined in the service if Nicholas had not issued some orders tending to the conversion of the Jews to the Greek-Russian church. To such an undertaking he would not lend a helping hand, ad he was an uncompromising advocate of civil and religious liberty-
He at once resigned his office, left the empire, and with his wife, sailed for America. He arrived in New York, and was immediately elected Rabbi of three congregations, an office which he resigned for the purpose of opening a Jewish boarding-school. He continued at thin with great success until the health of his wife failed, and he accepted, in 1855, a unanimous call as rabbi of one of the flourishing congregations of Cincinnati. Soon after his arrival in that city, he was elected a member of the board of education, in which poeition he was instrumental in introducing many reforms.
He was widely known as an orator and lecturer, and as such was highly appreciated. Since 1874 he assumed the editorship of the Hebrerv Sabbath School Visitor, the only organ of its kind in this country. He wrote and published saveral volumes on Jewish theology, besides sermons, poems and lessons on morals for the public schools. Though a classical scholar, Rabbi Lilienthal tided with those who advocated the scientific courses of instruction and progress. Liberty, the common fatherhood of God and the common brotherhood of men were the leading principles of his life and writings.
Henry C. Hall, the new minister resident to the Central American states, has been consul general at Havana since 1873. His new appointment ia a promotion in rank and pay. His confirmation will be opposed by ex-Postmaster General Marshall, on the grounds that he is churlish and boorish that he has alienated himself from his country, and that he is unAmerican in his habits, tastes and affections, on account of having married a Cuban lady.
The revenue derived from the liquor traffic in the large cities of the United States last year was as follows: New York, $453,462 Chicago, $168,740 St. Louis, $187,253 San Francisco, $188,960 Providence, $104,975 Detroit, $82,000. In Ciocinnati the dealers and manufacturers have always been exempt from any special tax, and the attempt to put one on them, resulted ia the republican defeat on Monday.
Shipherd must be a venemous reptile. "Whenever the opportunity presents itself he drags the dead minister, Hurlbut, from his grave to vilify him. Ths testimony of such a man should bs given no credence.
Jackson, Tenn., wants a public building at a cost of $50,000, and the co ii mittee has reported the matter favorably to the house.
NO DEMAGOGUE.
The veto of tbe anti-Chinese bill is received in a different manner in various localities. In the far west it denounced in unmeasured term?, while in the extreme east it has encountered nothing bnt unbounded praise. It made its appearance simultaneously with Tilden'e notification (hat he is still alive and in the ring, acd the two documents and men aze thm commented upon by the New York Herald, a paper which leans toward the democracy whenever it is possible to do sr-:
Two noteworthy documents were given to the public yesterday. First was a letter from an ambitious gentleman recently honored with the democratic nomination for tbe presidency, complaining at great length, in the querulous tone of disappointed old age, of a decsy of irolity and course in tbe management of the federal government, and winding up with the libelous averment against his country that "the light of official virtue and public honor" in its seivice hss faded till only "a glimmering spark" remains. The second was a veto by the president of the United Sta'es, displaying perfect probity and courage in his country's service, and vindicating its "offlciil virtue and public honor" with an emphasis which isacoa. elusive reply to Mr. Tilden's pessimism. Not only does President Arthur show his own possession of these qualities in vetoing the Chinese immigration bill, but he shows also a calm confidence in the 6obricty of the people to sustain him in bridling and curbing demagoglsm. In this he is a truer "democrat" in the broad and non-partisan ft use of the term than Mr. Tilden is, whose pessimistic lamentations from his villa on tho Hudson are in their essence just as demagogical as Denis Kearney's iavings among the San FrancUco ESnd lots, or as the shouts of "dynamite," and "send Ben Butler for Minister to London," in the Cooper Uilion on Monday night, where a great many re sectable citizens contaminated themselves by tolerating the presence of O'Donavan Boesaupon their platform.
The veto is a d-'spftstiouate public paper, pointing out to congress in studiously respcctful language that the immigatlou bill exceeds the limit of "reasonableness" to which theemperor of China possesses a treaty light to expect ue to conform in any suspension of the privilege of immigration of his subjects into the United States. The veto is sound, prudent and patriotic. We value and honor it just as we value and honor the president's quiet and steady demeanor in the current negotiations with Great Biiiain concerning the imprisonnunt of American citizens in Ireland, as a sigral proof of his independence of demagogism. President Arthur has faith that congress will not hesitate to confess and correct mistakes when they are clcarly and temperately indicated by the executive in the orderly performance of bis relation to the enactmtnt of laws. Ho does not agree \vi!h Mr. Tilden that "official virtue and public honor" in the federal government have faded down to a mere ••glimmering spark." fiut if, unfortunately, ademagosic spirit possesses temporary control of congress he has faith in the intelligence and sobriety of the American people to sustain him, even then in his independence of that spirit. We believe that they heartily respond to this confidence, and we hope to wit ncs a kindred response from congress. We believe that the country is es thoroughly tired of the lamentations of a certain class of politicians, among whom .the late democratic candidate for the presidency is the chic', that everything has nearly, If not quite, "gone to the bad," as it is thoroughly disgusted with the more obtrusive, though not less obnoxious forms of demogegismof which the ignorant and irrational assaults upon the federal administration in the Cocper Union on Monday evening were an example.
The New York Tribune, though not very friendly to the administration,says: The president's veto of the anti-Chinese bill proceeds upon the view that the prohibition of Chinese immigration for twenty years is an unreasonable use of the clause in the treaty authorizing a temporary suspension. Tho president finds other and strong objections to the bill, and transmits with apparent approval the compact and eflectivc criticism by the Chinese minister, but it is upon the time the prohibition extends that the veto really rests. It does not seem to the president a fair use of power to regulate or suspend the immigration granted in the recent negotiations, and he, therefore, feels constrcined to withhold his approval from what he regards as the violation of a treaty. There is reason to believe that the general sentiment of the republicans will approve the president's course. The aiarm at the Chinese immigration felt on the Pacific slope has undoubtedly made an impression upon the party, as was clearly shown in the platform adopted at ChicagoPerhaps a majority of republicans may have come to think that the immigration ought to be regulated, restricted, or even suspended. But there is no adequate reason to think that they have yet reached the belief that it ought to be prohibited outright for almost a generation. Tho president's message is moderate in tone andscope, and does him Credit.
Whatever his political opponents may say of him, Mr. Arthur cannot be called a demagogue. His presidential career thus far clearly demonstrates that he intends to do that which is right, believing that the sober second thought oi the country will sustain him in it. He does nothing rashly. His every action ia carefully considered, and his ear is always open to hear what any person has to Bay upou any question which he has under consideration. His administration haB been a very pleasing surprise to the republican party, and thus far has been acceptable to the whole country, irrespective of party. He is a cool, clear-headed business man whose transactions are all carried out in a business like manner, and whose administration bids fair to lead his party to as great a victory in 1884 as it has ever achieved since it sprung into existence,
The new secretary of the interior, Henry M. Teller, was born in Alleghany county, New York, May 23,1830. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in New Yoik. In 1858 he removed to Illinois, and from that state to Colorado in 1361. On the admission of Colorado as a stale the republican legislature elected him to the United States senate, that being the first office he ever held. He took his seat December 4,1876, and was re-elected December 11,1865, for a term of six yeais.
The Indianapolis republican papers, in the midst of their discomfiture, should not forget that Vigo county republicans came out of the rccent election with their colors flying and the band a-playing. Tbe latter are not so cood on dress parade as the Capital fellows, but in action they are more successful. They know no euch word as fail.
Taere are courts which are courts of justice in reality, and there are so-called courts which are nothing bnt political machines, and arenas in which audacious and reckless lawjers seek successfully to shield crime and make all the money they C&D out of it, regardless of right and justice.
The evidences of prosperity and growth manifested ofi every hand in this city, are very gratifying. No city in the west has brighter prcepccts than Terre Haute. The papulation is increasing rapidly, and business is prospering exceedingly.
WILLIAM E. C1IAXDLEB.
The president yesterday sent to tbe senate the name oi William E. Chandler to be secretary of the navy. Mr. Chandler was born in Concord, N. H., December 28,1835, wes educated in the public schools of Concord, and in academies at Thetford, Vt., snd Pembroke, N. H. studied law in 1852 with George & Foster, and at Harvard Law School in 1853 and 1855, and waa librarian of tbe school, graduated as LL. B. iO 1855 with prize honors for an essay on the introduction cf the principles of equity' jurisprudence into the administration of ths common law began practicing law in Concord, January 1,1856, with Francis B. Peafcody, now cf Chicago. In June, 1859, he appointed law reporter of the New Hampshire supreme court and published five volumes of reports. He was a member of the New Hampshire Legislature in 1862 1863, and 1864, and was Speaker of the HoHBe duriDg the last two jests, including the eventful conflict and riotous disturbances over the veto by Gov. Gilmoie of tbe eoldiere' voting bill. Iu November, 1864, he waa employed by the Navy
Department as special counsel to prosecute the Pbiledtlphia Navy Yard fraud', and cn March 9, 1865, was appcinted by President Lincoln the first solicitor and advocate-general cf that dcpaitinent, June 17, 1865, he was appointed First Assistant Secretary cf the Ireaeuty with Secretary McCulloch, end held the office a little over two years, resigning November 30, -1866. Since that time Mr. Chandler ha3 practiced Jaw in New Hampshire aud Washington has been solicitor cf the Natron*! Life Insurance Company at Washington, couossl and one of the proprietors of tbe Washington Market Company, and has engaged in some minit-g an! railroad enterprise?, and has also been the principal owner of the Monitor and Statesman, the leading daily and weekly Republican newspapers of New Hampshire, at* Concord. Mr. Chandler became active aa a Republican in 1836 was Beveral time3 Secretary oljhe state committee, and wai chairman during the extraordinary campaign in New Hampshire in the spring elections of 1863, 1864, and 1865, and also in tho Presidential elec tion of 1SG4. He was a delegate at large to the national cooveution of 1868, and became secretary of the national committee, aad so remained during the campaings of 1868 and 1872. Id November, 1876, he was elected from Concord a member of the New Hampshire constitutional convention, but was in attendance only two days at its ressioD, being then in Florida as counsel for tbe Hayes electors before (he canvassing board of that state. He vigorously opposed the surrender by the Hayes administration of the state governments of Louisiana and South Carolina to the democratic claimants, and published vigorous letters in December, 1877., attacking such surrender and the Southern policy of the administration. In 1880 he waa elected at the bead of the ticket of Blaine delegates from New Hampshire to the Chicago convention, and was especially active in the contests in the national committee prior to the convention, and as a member of Ibecommiitee of credentials, of which Sinator Conger was chairman, and which made the successful report in favor of district representation. With the delegation from his state he followed Maine on tbe last ballot in going over to and nominating Garfield. He remained a member of the national committee and acted upon its executive committee during the campaign.
He was nominated on March 23,1881, at the request of Secretary Blaine, by President Garfield as solicitor general in the department of justice, but his confirmation was opposed by Attorney-General MacVeagh and also by all of the democratic senators, on account of his extreme radicalism on the Southern question. The republicans, with the Vice President's vote, would have hid the majority, but the whol9 democratic vote, the absence of New York senators, the abstention of Senator Mitchell, and ths adverse vote of Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, caused his rejection on May 20, by five majority.
Mr. Chandler was a leading member of the New Hampshire legislature in June, 1881, and made himeelf prominent by opposition to any election cf the United States Eenalor at that eession, by advocating stringent laws Against bribery in elections and free passes, and in favor of controlling by law the rates of fares and freight on railroads. He is now actively ecgacd personally and in the Monitor and Statesman in opposing the illegal consolidation of the principal railroads of the State with the Massachusetts railroads, Mr. Chandler has been twice married, in 1859 to a daughter of Governor James A. Gilmcre, and 1874 to a daughter of Hon. John P. Hale. He has three eons.
The scenes enacted in the Criminal Court yesterday, in which the mest shameful abuse was heaped oh a respectable citizen who was a witness for tbe prosecution in the Bill Hirks burglary caa«, were a reproach to the cause of jastice. It is only one of a number of performances which make the abolishment of the court a matter of rejoicing. The law providing for its mergement into the circuit court was not passed a moment too soon. Speed the day when it will cease to exist.

AT LAST!
WASHINGTON, April 6.-i-Tbt President nominated Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, for Secretary of the Interior Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, for Secre* tary of tbe Navy Wm. H. Hunt, of Louisiana, for Eovey Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia.
Roland Worthington,.Collector of Customs at Boston Adin B. Underwood, Surveyor of Cuetoms at Boston Daniel Hall, Naval Officer at Boston John K. Knox, of Minnesota, Comptroller of the Currency.
CONJIKMED.
WASHINGTON, April 6.—Tbe Senate unanimously confirmed 8enator Teller's nomination and referred the others.
WASHINGTON, April 6.—The Senate held two executive aeeeions to-day, the first solely to confifm Teller, 88 Secretary of the Interior, which was done unanimously. At the second session the confirmations were William J. Wallace, of New York, for United States Circuit Judge for the second judicial circuit W. S. O B, Robinson, United States Attorney for the eastern district of Nrrth Carolina A. J. Auxier, United States Marohal for Kentucky Z. L. Wise, Receiver of PobMonies at Dardanelle, Arkansas John K. Faulkne*, Surveyer of Customs at Franklin, Kentucky Melvin A. Cushing, Postmaster at Minonk, Illinois.
TVIIAT IS THOUGHT ABOUT IT. WASHINGTON, April 6.—The nominations of Teller and Chandler were eenerally expected, and therefore created no surprise. Teller will no doubt be confirmed without reference to a committee, but there will bs some strong opposition to Chandler from the Democratic side. Several Democratic Senators have already openly declared that they will oppose Chandler, but it ia thought the Republicans will all vote for him Don Cameron voted againBt him when he was nominated for Solicitor General but, in view of Chandler's close relations with the Administration, it ia believed that he^ will now vote to confirm him. The opinion of leading Democrats is that Davis, of Illinois, will also vote for Chandler, so that if all the Democrats oppose him he ia likely to be confirmed.
LATER.
Ihe confirmation of W. E. Chandler appears to be in doubt, and several Democratic Senators, among them Beck, assert that he wilt not receive the Democratic vote. They also claim that several Republican Senators will vote against the confirmation. Those opposed to Chandler Bay that no Senator who opposed him when sent in by Garfield for Solicitor General can now consistently vote for him for the higher office. At that time aeven or more Republicanawere against him, among them Hoar and Hawley, because they thought hia nomination contrary to civil service reform principles. Chandler's friends say he will be promptly confirmed by a large majority, and that no Republicans will vote against him.
THE PBESIDENTIAL COUNT BILL. WASHINGTON, April 6.—The Presidential count bill, which passed the Senate to day, provides that the Presidential Electors of each State shall meet and give their votes on the second Monday in January next following their appointment, at such places as the Legislatures cf the States may direct that each State, pursuant to its laws existing on the day fixed for the appointment of Electors, may determine prior to the meeting of the Electors, any controversy concerning the appointment cf all or any of them that such det ination shall be conclusive of their lawful title and shall govern in the count by Congress that no electoral vote or votes from any State from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, except by the affirmative votes of the two Houres that if more than one return is received from a State, the votes of those Electors appointed by the lawful tribunal of the State shall be counted, and, in the event of a question aa to- which of the two or more such State tribunals ia the lawful tribunal, the votes of the Electors appointed by that tribunal which the two Houses, acting separately, shall decide to be the authorized one, shall be counted that in the case of an undetermined contest between two or more sets of Electors oi a State, those votes shall be counted which the two houses, acting separately, Bhall decide to be the lawful electoral votes. The bill also provides that if the counting'of votes shall not have been completed before the filth calendar day next after the first joint meeting of ths two houses, no recesaehall be taken by either house until the counting is finished.
SOAP STICK JAKE.-
WASHINGTON, April 6.—The Shipherd examination was resumed thia morning. The witness, after explaining that the Peruvian company held the claim through the natural son of Cnchet, stated that corrreepondence with Hurlbut was begun by letter-writing by him [Shipherd] on May 28. The witness was questioned in regaid to his interview with Hurlbat on May 39, as detailed by him [Shipherd] at a former hearing, and said: I think I can give Hurlbut'a exact language. In speaking of our claim he slapped hia handa upon hia knees with some emphasis and said "Mr. Shipherd, I need not have come all the way down here from Washington to aa8ure you how infinitely onr Government would prefer to Bettle all this matter through the opportunity your company offers." The witness waa closely pressed with questions with_ a view to extracting something definite relative to the encouragement, if any, he had received from the Executive. He stated that Hurlbut did not speak of the President or Secretary of State, but, in an "embassadorial wsy,'' used the expression "the Government," which led him [Shipherd] to believe that he [Hurlbut] spoke by authority. The only evidence the witness had that the President ever saw any of the paper? or knew anything about the business of tbe Peruvian Company waa the letter ha [Shipherd] received from J. Stanley Brown, the President's secretary,
stating: "Your letter received and referred to the State Department" Witness admitted that be wonld not have approacbcd Huilbut had he believed bim to have been a man of probity and above taking a bribe, and yet insisted that he [Shipherd] waa not guilty of any wrong intentions In making the offer. Hurlbut never ecknowledgedthe receipt of the letter in which the offer of etcck was made to him, and never again called to Eee Shipherd. Hurlbut was on hia way to hia home in Illinois when he had the interview in New York, and told witness he would call upon him again upon his return, but he aid not. "I supposed that Hurlbut did not call upon me because he waa in the pay o(. the Credit Industrial, and was aid not to call that was my supposition ^e never got him to do anything for us, and for the reason have given. So far as his being corrnptly influenced in our favor it would be ju!t *s well to drop the subject right here. He never was inter ested in our favor, to my knowledge."

Rice—Then we will paaa Blaine. Your correspondence or negotiations with him were opened by yourself, were they not?
Answer—My first interview with Secretary Blaine waa suggested by Senator Blair, my counsel, and took place on July 25th.
Rice—Your interview with Hurlbut in which he told you tbe Government thought your claim a perfectly good one, and led you to expect aid of the Government, took place in May 30th, and your ioterview with the Secretary occurred in July, two months afterwards. Was there no correspondence between yourself and tbe Executive in the meantime?
Answer—No sir. Rice—Then, so far aa the Government was concerned, this important matter had slumbered during all this time.
AnBwer—(hesitatingly)—So far as the government was concerned, yes air, Rice—lo that interview with the Secre tary waa any auggeation made that he or his friends should become interested pecuniarily in your company or their claim.
Answer—No sir for the reason that it never occurred to me to approach Blaine or any other official with the exception of Hurlbut, and then only to atop him from working against us.
Rice—Did ycu not know that if you made euch a proposition to the Secretary that you would be at once shown to the door
Shipherd—[turning very red in the face]—I see no reason why any member of the committee should put sflch a question to me. I think the implication conveyed hss gone too far.
Rice—Never mind the committee are judges of that. If you expected to derive benefit from securirg Hurlbut'* aid or non interference, did you not know that Blaine was bis superior, and could be of far greater assistance to you
Answer—It never occurred to me to make any proposition to Blaine.^ I did state to him what I had written to Hurlbut. At the opening of our interview I recapitulated everything I hid done in my negotiations with any officer of the Siate Department, and no exceptions were taken by the Secretary. He simply nodded bi3 head affirmatively, and told me to go on.
Rice—You say that you approached Hurlburt because you deemed him purchasable that you would not have approached any man you thought to be of probity and above being bribed, and yet you say you did not hesitate to mention before Secretary Blaine and Senator Blair that yon had made such a proposition to Hurlburt.
Shipherd—[evasively As I said before, 1 recapitulated all that had occurred. Some remark was made jokingly to the effect that that would not catch him.
Rice—Did you state lo Blaine what Hurlbut had eaid to you in New York, two months previous, that the Government was perfectly satisfied of the validity of your clsiim?
Answer—No, sir, I did not. Rice—And yet you say that Blaine raised several objections to the legality of your claim doubted the validity of the transfer of a chose in action as between two nationalities, and remarked to you "you Americans have purchased the claim of a Frenchman, and now come here to ask the United State8 to enforce it." Did it not occur to you that there was conaid:rable discrepancy between the position of the Secretary and what Hurlbut had said to you, and did it not occur to yoH to ask him why Hurlbut had made such a statement?
Answer—My mind rarely works in that way. I was prepared to meet the question affirmatively, on the merits of the claim.
Rica—Did the Secretary ever do anything more than to give the notice which you requeeted him to give to Chili and Peru, of tbe fact of the assertion of an American title to the guano?
An3wer—Yep, he did. Rice—Well, we will reserve that for future icquiry.
Shiphead then gave a long statement relative to what the Secretary said to him about the French company which claimed the title to the guano, and added: He said to me laughingly, "Now, I will give you a suggestion for nothing. This French company has plenty of caab, and you have what they want, an American title. Why don't you join interests?"
After a few more incidents touching this interview, which, however elicited nothing of importance, the committee adjourned.

Ex-Commissioner Aogell Talks. DETBOIT, April 6.—The Post and Tribune of this city will contain to-mor-row morning a report of an interview with President Angell, of the University, who was the United States Minister who negotiated tbe recent treaties with China in regard to tha bill just vetoed by the President. Mr. Angell said he had neither tbe time nor the inclination to become involved in any controversy on the matter, but waa williog to talk on the subject. "I see," said he, "that Commissioner Swift says there'Vas an understanding that even aa much aa thirty years' prohibition would not be considered unreasonable. 1 have no recollection of any limit of time being agreed to. When we first conferred with the Chinese they spoke of limitations of time and nambers, but afterward eaid they only intended to nae that as an expression by way of illustration, as, for instance, asking what wonld be the result if the Chinese were permitted to come in alternate years, or were prohibited from coming for one, two or three years. They asked us, too, what legislation Congress would enact. We say we could not tell, bnt wished to make a treaty which should impose reasonable restrictions. Now, that is the central point in the whole matter, whether the twenty year limit, as in the vetoed bill, waa a reasonable one or not, and that is finely a matter of opinion, on which th*rtf can be no hope of unanimity of action. When euch a question is to be considered, tbeonlv way, after discussing it, ia to call the roll and see who has the most votes. Personally, I think the twenty year limit, too long, and should have voted against it if I had .had the apportunity, probably. I should not like to tavor a longer limit than five years myself—though when I say that I do not express my final judgement I have not thought it over sufficiently to do so. The purposes for which we were sent to China were, in brief, these: Nearly every nation in the world htB imposed more or less atriogent resolutions on the immigration of the Chiuem we had surrendered our right to impose restrictions to a great extent the question of Chinese immigration has been growing more snd more serious, an tbe Pacific States particularly, and it was thought wiae to frame a new treaty by which the right to limit ahould be regained.
President Angell said this was no question that it was the general sentiment in Calafornia that farther Chinese immigration is undesirable. Such opinions were not confined the Second Lots. The Chinese Government was willing to consent to Buch treaty stipulations aa should beat aerve the interests of their citizens.
