A BOtiBBACK.
Last evening the Gazette published a lengthy editorial in whieh it assrted that the fall state senate would have to b8 elected this fall. The following summary of the article in question was furnished the Western Associated Press:'
The Evening Gazette to-day prints an editorial article disclosing tbe fact that by the operation »f the constitutional amendment changing the date of the state election from October to November, fifty members of tbe state senate, the whole number, is to be elected this fall, Instead of only twenty-five, as hereto* fore the term of office of twenty-five of them, however, will sot begin to run until the expiration of the terms of their predecessors, which occurs a few days before the November election in 1884. This Is deemed important, as a United States senator to succeed Voorhees is to be electi ed in the winter of 1884 5, and this unexpected catch In the law precipitates that contest in part this fall. The democrats claim it is an advantage for them.
The Indianapolis News, as soon as it received the dispatch, commenced an investigation, with the following result:
A reporter for the New showed the above dispatch to Attorney General Baldwin, and asked him what he thought of it. Senator Kenner, of Huntington county, was present, and with the attorney general, agreed that it amounted to nothing practically. Thera would be a short time, less than thirty days, in October and November, 1882, when there would be no legislature that could be called together, by reason of the expiration of the terms of the rep resentatives and twenty-five senators and for the same length of time in 1884, there would be only twenty-five senators in office for the same reason. The senators elected in November, 1884, would not take their seats until in January following, and it would be ridiculous to elect senators for a term of less than thirty days.
Governor Porter said, whan called upon, he had not given tbe matter much thought, but could not see how it could work any advantage to the democrats. A special session certainly would not be called to assist them in their schemes, and that seemed to be the only feasible plan by which they could take advantage of the "interregnum" by electing short-term senators.
Senator Kenner said he had investigated the question, and was satisfied the situation was not at all alarming. The Fort Wayne Gasette started a similar story some time ago, but the publication fell flat
From all of which it appears that there is to be any advantage to the democrats it must be postponed for two years at least—perhaps indefinitely.
Io the local colnmns this morning will be found a card from the board of health in relation to the smallpox cases at Rosedale and Sand Creek. It should be read with care by all citisens, and the requeets should be complied with. Cur exemption from the scourge last winter was a matter of congratulation, and it would be too bad to have it break out with the approach of warm weather, the time it should not appear.
Where can the workingmen of the fifth ward find a truer representative than Harry Creager? He has lived among them seventeen years and during all that time he has worked in the shops. He has accumulated property through haid work, is honest and industrious and would be an honor to the council. He should be elected by a large majority.
The democrats know they cannot succeed in tbe first, Becond and fourth wards, and are now dividing their energies between the third, fifth and sixth. Tbey should be met by the united efforts of the republicans at all points, and if this is done the next council will be almost unanimous.
As the next council will certainly be republican it stands to reason that a republican will be more successful in obtaining favors than a democrat. This being the case it would be much better for the fifth ward voters (9 elect Harry Creager than his democratic opponent.
Joe Briggs is sailing on to victory in the fourth ward. He has looked out for the interests of his constituents during the past two yean, and they are not forgetting him. His friends are very enthusiastic and are determined to increase his majority.
Lewis £. Martin finds it more profitable and pleasant to pay strict attention to his banking duties than to circulate among first ward voters. He knows he cannot be elected and is saving himself unnecessary trouble.
.... T«FC CITY ELKCTIOK. Next Taeeday occurs the city election, and its importance cannot be overestimated. Every citizen, and especially every taxpayer, should give it earnest and unprejudiced consideration. Two years tgo the democrats were in power, and their stewardship was far from satisfactory. There was every indication that if the republicans would put forward good men they would succeed. In each Ward a representative business man was nominated. Tbe democrats endeavored to follow the example set them, but so unpopular had their rote bccome that- they only elected one of their candic(ptcs, and that by one plurality. They still held eontroi of the council, however, but their actions were so outrageous that one of their number becam# so thoroughly disgusted (hat he resigned his position, and the special election which followed gave the republicans full control of the city. An examination of affairs showed that in order to make a show of economy the democrats had neglected nearly all the departments, and that to put them in order would require the expenditure of large sums of money. The engine and reel houses were in a state of dilapidation, the fire alarm telegraph was in such condition that it had to be replaced, both steam fire engines were broken down, and the streets were no better than ordinary county roads. To make all these improvements has required money, and they have all been made, and that too in the most thorough and substantial manner. It is true the floating debt has been increased temporarily but no intelligent and un* prejudiced citizen will think Or advocate for a moment that this inorease will continue from year to year. Now that the improvements have- been made in a substantial manner the cost of repairs will be light. At the same time the expenditures have increased, it has been to no such figure as is stated by the Qazette.
The floating debt for the year ending April 13, 1882, was $104,075. From this must be deducted the cemetery fund, amounting to $8,000, which dnriog the previous yeans was a part of the general fund and was used for general purposes, bat which cannot now be used for any other purpose than that for which it is set apart. This would reduce the floating debt to $96,075, against $88,793 last year, an increase of $9,282 and not $20,000 as stated by the Qazette. There is another item which escapes the democratic eye in making these calculations. On April 13, 1881, tbe balance reported on hand by the treasurer was $44,778.01. Oa the same date this year there was on hand a balance of $80,347 50, a difference in favor of 1882 of $35,569.58 If the total balance OB hand last year had been applied to the discharge of the floating debt there would still have remained an indebtedness of $42,015. If the balance on hand this year had been applied to the same purpose thore would have remained an indebtedness of $15,728. We fail to see where Che financial mismanagement has come in. On the contrary the income has been wisely managed in the payment of debts, and in the general improvement of the city's condition. If the same policy is pursued during the pres ent fiscal year the financial condition of the city will be such as to render a reduction in the rate of taxation possible. In order to insure this result great care should he exercisud by the voters in the men they select for councilmen. Past experience with democratic management has not proven at all profitable* and they have not been out of power long enough to warrant their returta at present. As a guarantee for future good government the republicans nominated good business men and men of integrity, and ask the people to vote for them. It is all very well to raise a hue and cry about election time, but as Ions as no attempt is made to show where the expenses could have been curtailed with advantage to the best interests of the city, such attacks as are now being made will fall stillborn, and will only benefit where they are intended to injure. To find fault with im provements already made and in almost the same breath condemn the council for net making them more extensively is not at all consistent. The voters will remember that the interests of the city are more worthy -of consideration in the coming election than partisan petty interests.
To day there will be an Odd Fellows' celebration at Clinton. Hon. Schuyler Colfax will deliver his oration on ''Lincoln and Garfield" in the afternoon, and will lecture on Odd Fellowship at night. There should be a large attendance from this city.
Ed. Ellis has been an efficient and faithful councilman. He has always looked after the interests of his constituents, and they should now stand by him.
Ed, Ellis is encountering an unfair opposition in the third ward, and his friends should rally aroand him and give it that rebuke which it deserves.
Two years ago lhe democrats, after the election, said: "By Grace are we saved." This year they will be lost through want of Grace.
Dr. Swafford doesn't want to be beaten too badly in the second ward. About 175 will be the size of Bottman's majority.
John Reynolds is making it lively in the sixth ward, and his friends are sare of his election by a handsome majority.
Jacob Eolsem has been defeated once before which will reconcile him to it again next Tuesday.
Every republican should do his best .work between this and election day.
Erery doubtful republican vote should he made solid before election day.
Leonard Briggs will hold np the usual republican vote in the first ward.
Now is tbe time for work. Next Tuesday will be the time for action.

The Patriotic Order Sons of Ameriea are associated together for the purpose of maturing themselves in the knowledge snd encouraging each other in the practice of their rights anddaties an citizens of a country in which they are called upon to exercise among their fellow men the common rights of sovereignty. No foreigners are admitted to membership. The explanatory pamphlet in speaking of foreigners says: "we do not conceive their admission to our drder either necessary or advisable-' Further on this same pamphlet says:. "Seeing how fast our great eea board cities and through theoi, onr legislative bodies, national and state, are becoming factional, sectarian and anti-American, will not all true Americana hasten to join our rank?, and to start campa in sections not now tenanted by the order? To tbis, and with tbia appeal your influence -is asked in tbe cause." It ia said the democratic candidate in the Third ward is, or has been, a member of this order. Ii this is the case can foreigtt born citizens conscientiously cast their votes for him? It trill be much better for the voters of the third ward to cast theijr votes fur Ed.

A Little Church Unpleasantness. MADISON, Indiana, April 26.—To-mor-row tbe Courier will publish an open letter addressed to the NEW Albany presbytery and Presbyterian Church in general bv Rev.

WASHINGTON, April 26.—The Foreign Affairs Committee resumed the examination oi Blaine this morning, who said he had examined the diary of the late President, who had been in the habit ior years oi keepiog a minute acconnt of his daily transactions, and fonned that neither Shipherd nor Hnrlbnt nor the Cochet claims oi the Pernvian Company are mentioned neither does his private secretary remember ever to have heard him mention thenr. None of these Sonth American dispatches were prepared daring the President's sickness.
Blaine mentioned the fact of certain dispitcbes which were blocked oat before the President was shot, bat which reoSiine in stata quo antil after the succession of President Arthur. In explanation of President Garfield's views upon the
Blaine said: President

"Mr. Lincoln directed Secretary Seward to bring all the foreign to him, and not to tbe Cabinet, nnless he so desired." From that time forward I never submitted anything to the Cabinet whieh involved a permanent policy or change of policy, and no step which would involve a change of policy on the part of this Government was ever taken by me without first submitting it to the President and receiving his entire approval and direction.
Blaine alluded lo the efforts which had been made to fix-upon him [Blain«l the responsibility for a certain policy towards the South American States which was calculated to involve this country seriously, and continued: I don't desire to aesnme that President Arthur is responsible for any such effort. I acquit him entirely but I desire at this time to place this matter before the committee correctly. Blaine then produced the original draft of the instructions which were given Trescott, which he read, and pointed out corrections which had been made by the President^ some of them, at his [Blaine's] suggestion, and commented upon the corrections and their effect. Be added: I do not by any means find fsult with the President for changing his mind, but this is tbe orig inal draft oi instructions to which President Arthur gavfe hiB aesent, and which, following precedent, I kept. I desire to state-most solemnly that the assumption that I ever interpolated a line or pylla* ble in a dispatch after it was agreed to by the President is as false as the lie that was circulated over the country that I was, during the President's sickness, blocking out a foreign policy oi my own.
At this point Belmont proceeded to pro pound a series of prepared- questions, mainly directed to an inquiry into the policy oi the department in the Chili-Peru-a a in on

made an examination of the merits of the Cochet nor the Landrean claim. He had considered the Lindreau claim as res ajudicata.
Belmont then propounded a series of questions in regard the terms "good offices" and "officially," and a somewhat lively tilt ensued between the examiner and the witness, which was suddenly brought to a climax by Blaine remarking, wi'.h some emphasis: I hope, Mr. Belmont, you will be a gentleman. I shall ba one, and shall treat you as such. I am not in a police court, to be badgered. I must answer the questions in my own way, and you must not undertake to correct me.
Belmont disclaimed any lack of courtesy, or desire to badger. He entertained the highest respect for the witness, both on account of bis age, and the high position he had occupied. The examination for some time pursued the direction of repartee and retort, the examiner persisting in putting bis own constructions upon the tenor of Blaine's dispatches, while the latter as persistently insisted upon their meaning as written. Blaine, addressing the Chairman, said: 1 must cohfess this seems to me a very extraordinary examination.
The witness then explained at some leneth just what instructions were given to Hurlbnt in relation to tbe Landreau claim that he should use his good offices to secure a hearing for Landreau in the courts in Peru.
I was adventuresome enough, added Blaine, to ask a foreign Government to give an Americana hearing in its courts. The case was not fairly arbitrated and the property has gone the way of all the world—England has gobbled up the guano and a million tons of it are now advertised in London, worth probably $60,000,000.
Blaine continued with much earnestness: The English (bondholders put op tbe job of war on Peru and it was for loot and booty. They mike a mistake who speak of this war as the Chilian war. It was the English war on Peru, and I take the responsibility to so put it, and I dared to ask that a hearing be given to an humble citizen oi a Governm^pt that hardly dares to be out over night, and "my foreign policy," to quote an expression, would have driyen this country into war with. Chili, bad it not been thwarted. Why, it ia believed all over Chili that the United States got out just in time to save a eoand thrashing, that her hair-brained &cretary of State was just about to involve her in war, when she was saved by his removal -and we are laughed at and cartooned in their papers. A little gathering of 1,000,000 people on the west coast of Sonth America would have given us a terrible tharehing if we did not let the dismemberment of Peru go on, and allow Eng2 a. rPtainw angina*
land to bag the spoils. [Rising and adding with much empnasis]—History will hold the United States responsible for it.
The examination proceeded for some time, and lapsed into a continuous rattle repartee and counter retort, which of

THE BOSTOJT CUSTOM KOUHX. WASHINGTON, April 26.—Hie Senate Committee cm Commerce will, to-morrow, take np the nomination of Worthington, to be Collector of Customs at Boeton, and they expect to act upon it Senators Hoar and Dawes will appear before the committee and make arguments against Worthington's nomination. Tbe burden oi their argument will he that Worthington would convert the Custom House and its patronage into a political machine, and that this people of Massachusetts are opposed to that. Repreeentalives Bowman, Harris and Norcroes, of Massachusetts, and ex-Senator Boutwell, will make arguments in favor of Worthington. Boar and Dawes mean te carry their fight into the Senate, but nnlera they get very considerable Democratic aid they will be defeated, and Worthington confirmed. Present .indications are that most of the Democrats will vote^foc^ t^e confirmation.
MASON'S CASK.
WASHINOTOS, April 26.—In Sergeant Mason's ease before the United States Supreme Court, to-day, Solicitor General Phillips made an argument oi about half an hour for the respondents. He took much the same ground as. did Gardiner yesterday, holding that the Court Martial had fnll jurisdiction to try Meson under the sixty-second article« of war that its puoiahment was not_ excessive if army discipline is to be maintained.
Libby closed the argument for the defense. He maintained that tbe Supreme Coart had original jurisdiction to review the case, but if this was denied, it certainly had appellate jurisdiction. He bad applied to the District Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus, snd it having been denied, the case came before the Supreme Court, jnst as if the writ hsd been denied by a United States Circuit Court.
The court then took the case, and will, on next Friday, adjourn until the 8th of May- when it will assemble' to deliver opinions before adjourning for the term.

THE BOUSE.
WASHINGTON April 26, 1882. Calkins called np the contested election case of Lynch vs. Chalmers.
Randall raised the question of consideration, and the House decided—yeas, 115 nays, 99 to consider the report, which was then read.
The reading oi the report consumed an honr and a half, and at its conclusion Pettibone, of Tennessee, took the floor in support of tbe oase of the contestant, Lynch.
Atherton, of Ohio, made long argument in tavor of the minority report, declaring Chalmers entitled to tbe seat.
Moore, of Tennessee, in advocating the seating of Lynch, protested against the shilly-shally milk-sop policy of the managers of tbe Republican party in the House—if it had any managers. He insisted on a vigorous policy in regard to the contested election cases, warning his party friends that unless they did simple justice, and that soon, to the Republican contestants who had almost literally fought their way to the doors of this House, the Forty-eighth Congress would be in the hands of the Democrats.
The matter then went over till to-mor* row.
