Judging from the report of the debate in the houso yesterday, Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, is laboring under the impression that the people of New England are conceited.

The fire record for a week past has embraced an unusually large number of disastrous conflagrations. Yesterday's list, it would seein, ou^ht to be the climax of what might be called an epidemic of flames.

Bnif-h, whose electric light is in common use, claims to have devised means by which clcct iuiiv ran be Btored, iHitlled up, so to speak, and be kept about the house as one keops baking powder or any other useful article

It is to be hoped the scandal over the alleged instance of the prosecution in the Star route cases being overreached in the selection of Juror Crane is not the forerunner of another disagreeing Jtuy with all the attendant charges of bribery, etc.

Utah officials are in Washington lryin-» to secure additional legislation for the suppression of polygamy. They •ay the Edmunds bill is very good so far as it goes, but that it is not radical enough, and that the problem under tho present law would not be worked out in a hundred yearB.

Senator Brown, of Georgia, yesterday declared, in plain terms, that his opposition to the civil service bill was baaed on the fact that if a Democratic president came into ofin-e he could not turn out all Republicans in tho civil service. Senator George, of MississiD' pi, a fellow .Democrat, reminded him that there was no certainty of a Democratic president in 1884, and observed that the defeat of the Republican party this year was because it had maintained just such views as had baen expressed by the Georgia senator.

We believe it was remarked that the Democrats in congress this winter would ruin whatever chances they might have for future success, and it looks very much as if they were zealously engaged in that direction when opposing civil service reform.

GLADSTONE.

The English premier has completed fifty years of political life. In almost all of it ho has been a prominent fig ore. It seems probable, notwithstanding the assertions of his retirement from public life at an early day, that he must entertain the hope of definitely settling the Irish difficulties as the •rowning achievement of a life marked many political successes which bare advanced the liberties and pros •perity of the people. His struggle for th« reform bill that by extend lng the right of suffrage •hanged Great Britain from a government of the aristocracy to one of democracy and his work in disestablishing the Irish church would alone make his name memorable for ever, but if the perpetual strife and discontent o( the Irish people could be alloyed, or measures put in operation that in course of time could fully establish the harmony of the neighboring leles, Gladstone's name would be more glorious than any of his predecessors mado illustrious by their acquisition of territory and the triumph of British armies.

We regard here the popular minister a model man with the courage of his convictions, the enthusiasm of a reformer and an unfeigned sympathy with the people. So do many of the Bnglish, but still he is believed to be a shrewd politician. We believe his change from Toryism to Liberalism, Mir an age ago, and his recent rerersals of policy, to bo the movements of a man too honest not to aekuowl •dge a change of opinion whilst others •e« in them the actions of an ambitions and unscrupulous schemer for power. The position of party leader la English politics, as here, is an evidence of transcendant ability when held so long, but there as •ot here, the best man retains the leadership while his abilities last. Had we the same system of politics, Webster, Clay, Seward, Douglas and perhaps Hendricks would have been premiers or presidents. It is possible, too, in the same system, that the reforms proposed by the administration, with the concurrence of the majority of the party, would be presented and pushed in congress without it visible division. But we are not advocating its adoption, and despise the affectation that dubbed Mr. Blaine the "premier" of the last administration. There is this much difference fefttwwa England, democratic as it may

be, and this country, that there the few are still too powerful, while here, from the jjreat mass of the people, continually rise men who, fresh from contact of their fellows, are their best and truest spokesmen, close to them in sympathy and easily held to account. Here the will of the people flashes out often enough to make a dozen presidents in one Gladstone's life.

PRANKS OP THE PROFESSOR.

Toni( Olrl at Vincennes Makes Serloas Charges Against Her Teacher. Sepeclal Cincinnati Commerolal.

VINCKNNM, Ind., Dec. 13.—Colored circles in the city have been very much torn up for some time past over the alleged improper conduct of Professor Brown, principal of the colored school, toward one of his pupils, a Miss Frances Carter, a dusky damsel. On Thanksgiving day Miss Carter appeared before Professor Taylor, superintendent of the city schools, and filed formal charges against Professor Brown, alleging that he had made base proposals to her oo sundry occasions,

the first recited .f^belng at a time last summer when he accompanied-her on a berrving expedition.

Prof. Taylor took the charges under consideration, and investigation of a quiet nature has been'going on ever since.

TJ to the present time Prof. Taylor appears to have found nothing of a serious character against his colored subordinate, who most strenuously dedies the lady's charges in to to, and urgently invites the most searching in vestigation.

Similar charges have at other times been lodged against Prof. Brown, but none of them nas ever stuck, which fact induces Prof. Taylor and the board of trustees to proceed cautiously and rather doubtfully in this case.

Miss Carter lives with her parents a shert distance from the city, and she is described as a maiden of mAre than usual good looks, as colored girls go. Professor Brown has held his pres position for several years with sa taction to all conperned, except the colored patrons of the school, who, for some unexplained cause, have long pursued him with their enmity.

To" Piatt Carried Indiana for the Republicans, and Why I Object" Hoi man

Won't Be Sneaker of the House.

Special Correspondence of the Express. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 13.—The contest for the speakership is progressing quietly, but very earnestly. George Gibson, of Clarke county, is develop ing strength veiy rapidly and much to the surprise of many. He is now in eastern Indiana, and will see the Dem ocratic members of that section this week. It is claimed to-day by one of his outside admirers here that he will have nearly tho entire representation of the southern counties for him when the caucus meets, which with the representatives of scattering counties in other portions of the state, will give him the caucus nomination But it is hardly probable that he has tho southern representatives solidly for him, as Bynum will surely have Daviess county, where he resided un til within the past two years. I think it also safo to claim every Democratic representative from tho second congressional district for him, if we consider Patten and Akin, of Sullivan out of the race. lie will have this congressional dis trict for him, and there is little doubt but that he will have tho representatives from Vanderburgh, Vigo, Allen, Tippecanoe, Cass, LaPorte, Lake, Por ter and Madison counties by the time the canvass is really begun. The leaders of the Democratic party seem to favor Bynum, if we may judge from outward appearances, and the local Democratic machine here can safely manage the country representative when he arrives. Moody, of Dearborn county, is not making himself very prominent in the contest, so far-ana.there-is-no likelihood of him becoming a formidable candidate. As for Bellamy Sutton, ot Shelby county he may be considered as a

BAD FOURTH IN THE BACK. His own county went back on the Democratic ticket this year, and everybody, including the the Democratic members of the legislature, knows this fact. This will be a stone around Bellamy's neck when he once gets in the race. Charley Jewett, of ticott county, has not yet announced that he is no longer a candidate, but such a proclamation from him would not be surprising. He will be put off with the chairmanship of a fourth-rate committee, and that will end his race for the speakership. The contest, therefore, is clearly between Bynum and Gibson, with the odds slightly in favor of the former, but Gibson is a splendid cam paigner, and there is no telling but that he may come out ahead when the balloting occurs. He served, in the last house and made many friends in that body,which gives him an acquaintance all over the state. His elegant disposition and fine appearance tend to favorably impress a person that he meets, ana this has made him a popular politician. He ia a native of Kentucky, where he was something of a politician, before he came across the river to Charleston a few years ago, where he is the foremost lawyer of Clarke county. He is not more than thirty-two years ofage, and is a blonde with blue eyes and ich complexion, which, set o'ff with a flaxen moustache, makes him a good looking fellow in the eyes of the ladies at least.

During tho session last winter he and Cauthorn, of Knox, were the leaders of the Democratic side, and on a number of occasions Gibson was the spokesman for the Democrats upon important measures. He was a little fiery at the beginning of the session, but that soon wore on, and he came to be considered a fine debater in a running debate. 70BME1E SI'BAKEES.

Meeting Cyrus T. Nixon, who lias been clerk of the house at least a dozen times, not long since, I asked him who he remembered as being of the best speakers of the Indiana house of representatives "Well I thing Judge Petitt of Lafayette, was the most polite speaker I ever knew," he said, "and that is what bothers a great many men when they get in the chair. It is a pretty hard matter for a speaker to keep cool when a half dozen members are on the floor intriguing against him and ho knows and if he don't watch himself he it, wi himself,

Judjje Petitt could always be he

was one of the very best speakers I ever knew. David C. Branham, of Jefferson county, was a bold, courageous speaker, but too harsh, and too apt to get into a wrangle with a member on the floor. This often caused scenes of excitement in the house and retarded business a great deal. He was speaker during the war, and you may be sure the Democrats gave him a deal of annoyance, but I believe they were all afraid of him. W. K. Edwards, of Terre Haute, was among the best speakers Indiana ever had, and it is hard to say he was not the best. He was a highly educated gentleman, and bad been the presiding officer in the grand lodge of Odd Fellows for so many years that the parliamentary law was a mere song to him. He knew it thoroughly and it was a seldom occurrence for him to be caught in a trap. He could foil the schemers almost every ftme. Cauthorn, of Knox cuiinty, I knew but little of as a speaker, but was clerk of tb» laat bouae

THE HAN THAT CAITBIID INDIANA for the Republicans in 18S0?" I tnined pale and said I didn't. "Well sir, he did that very thing. Along toward the last of the campaign that year he told the committee that the thing to save/ Indiana was the tariff question. They all laughed at him at first,but he successfully insisted that that issue be sprung, and yon Hoosiers know the working men came over to the Republicans after that."

This was exhileruting news and three cheers were given for Piatt by all about the table and the Virginian continued "I expect to see Riddleberger make a show of himself when ho gets in the senate by calling some member a "li-ah, sah." That is Riddleberger's weapon at home, and he uses it frequently down there. So you know I was a little surprised at lum not fighting Pago McCorthy last week because he usually is quick to go into anaffray, or a duel." "To .which party will the electoral vote be given in 18S4?" I inquired.

"That is a question for Billy Mahone to decide, as he will carry that voto in his pocket as sure as he is alive. I thins an administration Republican could get with thanks for the asking, but Mr. Blaine and Mahone are not on good terms with each other, so that the plumed knight could hardlv exect the vote. Mahone's friencle are ound about the camp of the present administration."

HOLMAN'S AUDITION.

The report that Congressman Holman is a candidate for speaker against Carlislo and Randall, is one of tho funny things just before the holidays. The idea of Buch a man as Holman being a candidate for the position is just to funuy to .think about, and those who'know him are greatly amused at this spurt of his ambition. Nothing serious can be made of it, and I don't think he is serious upon the subject himself. No person ever thought of Holman being a man of any real ability. and the only excuse for him remaining in public life so long is that he has a hold upon his moss back constituents by reason of his never failing objection being made whenever an appropriation bill catne before congress.

while he: was a member, but! should think he was a splendid presiding officer, as he was always cool and not easily excited, besides knowing the rules very well.

SOMFC VIRGINIA GENTLEMEN. I met Col. Tom Richardson, of Lawrenceburg, Virginia, who is stopping in the city for a few days, at a supper, one evening recently, and he told me a great many things about Virginia politics. "What about Mahone?" I asked. "Well, he's a fighting gentleman, to begin ,with, and a firet rate fellow to be

out on a lark with. I've known jjinj for twenty-five years and was iiflfie confederals army with him, where I saw his fearless, intrepid nature displayed on more occasions than one. The boys used to call him Billy Mahone, and I expect some call him that yet, which shows how popular he was in the service. He isn't bigger than a yearling colt', and you ought toner him standing up beside his wife, who weighs more than two hundred pounds. It's a regular side show for nothing. But he loves her for all that and she thinks him greater than old Goliath. Mahone is a pretty shrewd fellow sure enough, and is the man to be a popular boss. The 'niggers! of Virginia were a little afraid of his Read juster movement at first as they suspected it was a Ku Klux affair or something else that meant a'nigger' killing, but when he appointed a few prominent darkies to an office the whole drove came over to the Beadjusters and snowed under the Democratic ticket by 15,000 majority. Oh, my 1 but this made old Jubal Early maa, and for weeks after the election he swore a string of bronze oaths forty rods long. Early is a bad old sinner and to hear him talk you would think he had not heard of Lee's surrender at Appomattox or that the war was over. An old blue army overcoat gives the old man the lumbago, ana the story goes that he once sold an old blue roan mare because he feared she was not thoroughly secesh. This is one of the many ridiculous stories told on him by reason of his peculiar ideas about the late war. He is a great talker about the war, but never mentions anything about the licking Kil patrick gave nim. if you should say anything on this subject in his presence, he might thrust his cane at your girt before he would think what he was doing." "Why don't we hear more about Joe Johnston, now that he lias been in congress?" 1 asked. "Well, sir, Joe Johnston is a brokenhearted man, and the fire of his nature of war-times has gone out. He does not 6eem to be popular with his peo pie for some reason or other and he will quietly die some of these day. I saw him last winter and his hair and whiskers were as white as a swan's neck, and his large black eyes gave his face a peculiar sad expression. I can remember when Joe Johnston was the most idolized man of Virginia, and why he is not so now is one of the strange things of this life. I always liked Johnston.

HOBEIiT E. LEE

came nearer being the Savior of men in Virginia than anybody else and he will bo remembered with love by ev«ry Virginian to his dying day. Then there was Stonewall Jackson the bravest man in the Confederate army, and who, if he had lived, would have been the commanding general of the Southern forces. He was a typical man in every way a Christian, a soldier, a statesman, and a patriot. His dying words have rung in my ears for years, and have convinced me in a great measure that there is a God and a heaven hereafter. You know he had been Bhot while on his horse and the animal broke down the road with its wounded rider at a fearful speed. Just as the woods were reached Jackson fell off with a heavy thud and rolled in the dust in a dying condition. He was taken to a house near by and every attention paid him. But it was no use ho was dying wben the surgeons came, and in a feble, dreamy way he said 'Let us cross over the river to the green shade on the other side.' Was it not a look into futurity? There are no Stonewall Jacksons left, in the south, if really there ever was a man in that section like the hero of the Peninsula." "Do you know the new senator, Riddlebarger?" "Not very well, but enough to say that he ia not much of a man and will fall below the top notch as a statesman. He lives in the Shenandoah Valley and is a lawyer by profession, but he never would have been senator if he had not stuck to Mahone. When he gets in the senate he will never vote without consulting the man that made him politically. He is a sort of a "Me, Too," after the fashion ot Tom Piatt, of New York, who is an abler man than Riddleberger. "Did you ever know that Tom Piatt was really

his afisumed candidacy is. that he "Eas cbncluded to be a candidate for United States senator against Voorhees two years hence. He will make the issue against the Wabash senator rpon the quality of his Democracy, as be imagines that th: vaulting of voorhees upon the tariff and soldier questions has made him disliked by many

Democrats. I think it safe to say that tho Democratic delegation in congress from this state will vote for Carlisle or some other candidate holding his views upon current public questions. Holman mav vote for himself, but that is all bo will get from Indiana.

POINTS PUGILISTIC,

Tom Allen's Failure to Come to Time at Chicago—Talk About the Mill Between Elliott nnd SalUran.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Tom Allen, who was to have been at "Parson" Davies' place, on Randolph street, between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, had not made his appearance at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the place designated. It is rumored that Allen was somewhat intoxicated last evening, and bis failure to appear this morning may perhaps be attributable to that cause. In conversation with Jim Elliott this morning, he said that Allen did not look nearly as healthy now as he did the last time he saw hiin, about fourteen years ago, at which time Allen seconded Elliott in the Gallagher fight Allen said last night that he had been twenty-one hours upon the road between Pitteburs and Chicaeo.

Elliott this morning took his customary run to Union Park before breakfast, after which he went out to Hyde Park and back. If his fight with .Sullivan takes place at Pittsburg, as it is now thought probable, Elliott, Davis and Plaisted, Elliott's trainer, will leave for that point upon Monday next, returning here Christmas day.

The definite location of this fight will not be known until to-morrow. However, "Parson" Davies, Elliott's business manager, will give Richard K. Fox until Sunday next to- cover his money. Should Fox not do so, Davies will then take hiB moncv down.

Professor Eugeno McCarthy will meet Win. Hawley or Abe Williams' backers at Ed. Dorney's saloon, 133 Harrison street, at 7:30 to-morrow evening, to made arrangements for a fight between a colored unknown and any colored fighter in the city, the contest to be with hard glovas. Marquis of Queensbury roles, stakes to suit parties. Tho unknown, it is said, will be ready in two weeks.
