The appointment of Emory Spoor to he United States attorney general hy the president is melting with umjualtied praise from the Kcpublican press. Speer is a young man, a native of ieorgia, who lepresenls the best, elements of the young Southerners. lie is idolized by them and had been several times elected as an independent congressman. The appointment ol such men to the federal ollices in the South will rehabilitate the Republican party South and give it standing and character.

It is about time the English newspapers turn their attention to the dignity of English courts and bestow upon their, some of those scathing comments made upon the court that tried Garfield's assassin. A correspondent says regarding the trial of the assassins of Cavendish and liurke: '"The prisoners move about and interrupt the proceedings at pleasure the gallery applauds outside of the jail and thro'out the city the populace weeps, screams and shouts as if innocent men were persecuted: and the judge seem unable or unwilling to interfere. The criminals in the dock are defiant, insulting, and jocularly perverse, as tl oir fancy dictates."

Tin Logansport Journal says: "It is an open secret that lion. ThomasM. llrowne will be a candidate for the 1'nited States senate to succeed Mr. Voorhees, and that Hon. AV. II. Calkins desires the .Republican nomination for governor in 188-1. .loth of these gentlemen have had large experience in public all'airs, and have earned a national reputation as able and honorable public servants. They have a public right to aspire to the positions named, and each will have a large following. On the probable great issue of the next campaign, the taritl', they have placed themselves on a middle ground which is rapidly gaining favor among the plain people, without distinction of party."

(ienearal lla/.en, chief Signal oliicer, is one of those men in the army who is continually in trouble and who has given more occasion for court martinis, both by reason of charges against himself and by bringingehar^es against his brother officers, than perhaps, any other oliicer in the army. About the time this session of congress convened he set to work to create sentiment, against the transfer of the weather bureau to the interior department and in doing this had his subordinates traveling about the country "setting up" boards of trade and getting newspapers to oppose the transfer. Congressman I'eltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, gave ear to t*he stories that have been prevalent in Washington for some years regarding the management of the signal service ami the weather bureau. Subordinates of llazen disclosed the fact that the bureau was operated by a ring of army oflicers for their own benefit in the way of promotions, etc. Belt/hoover also came into possession of some of the correspondence between Ilazen and the army oflicers who were engaged in

l's"tting

up" things throughout the country. With this data he printed a speech in the Ilecord and assailed Hazen in a vigorous manner. Hazen, as will lie seen by the dispatches from Washington this mm ning. wrote to the secretary of war, asking that official to request the senate to investigate the signal service and weather bureau, a cleatly unparliamentary proceeding on the part of the senate, as the secretary show* in his reply, lla/.en will do well if he ciibsides and takes the advice ictieral Sherman gave him at the time oi hi. last court martial experience, lb if is 11 try its persistently lo keep i.in .if trouble as he does to get into it.

Mr. Minshall's Resignation. To the Editor of the Express. SIR: I regret to notice that Mr. Minshall has resigned his otlice as collector of the revenue at this place. lie has brought the otlice from chaos up to the very highest standing, as is cheerfully attested by Commissioner Ilaum, at Washington city.

When a public oliicer has rendered valuable service, it were well to keep him in the harness, as there seems to be not much probability that any improvement could be had.

In these times when defalcations and embezzlements are occasionally reported from bank ollicers, and others holding high trusts, a good and worthy incumbent is a piece of furniture that ought to be retained in the public service, provided, it is not at too great a sacrifice of other more important personal interests. Iso one has left otlice, or will retire hereafter who will leave a more enviable reputation than follows Mr. M. in his retirement. l-tegrettingthatMr.il. has thought proper to resign, voluntarily, without that outside pressure which some sorehead has sought to ventilate through your columns, 1 take much pleasure in endorsing Captain Jonathan IV I lager, as a gentleman than whom none other is more worthy. Capt.

Kx-Govern or 51 origan.

The following is a brief resume of the life of ex-Governor .Morgan, who died Thursday. [Mr. Morgan was born in the town

citv. Although some years ago he surrenderad the personal supervision of the details of the business, he was still the head of the well known firm of E. 1). Morgan &. Co., which has business relations with all parts of the world. Governor Morgan had been for several years director and member of the executive committee of the Western Union Telegaaph company.

Mr. Morgan's active participation in the politics of New York began in 1849, when he was elected an alderman of tliat city. In the fall of the same year he was chosen state senator, and in the following year he was le-elected to tlie same position. From lSoo to 1S58 he held the office of commissioner of emigration. At the close of the term in the senate Mr. Morgan began to turn his attention to national politics. A delegate from New York to the May conference at Pittsburg in 1S50, he was there appointed chairman of the national committee, and in that capacity he called to order the first convention of the Republican partv at Philadelphia, in June of the same year. Two years later he was elected governor of New York, and his administration was so popular that in ]S(i0 he was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. During his second term the civil war broke out, and to the support of the government he devoted all his energies. His administration takes lank with those of Andrew, Morton, and other distinguished "war governors." During the twenty months of his administration in time of war he sent forward 223,000 men. To facilitate his labors in the gigantic undertaking President Lincoln commissioned him major-general of volunteers, erected New York into a military department, and assigned him the command, lie belt! this rank until the close of his term of office as governor, declining all compensation, either for himself or stall'. During his term he expended in bounties $3,500,000 for every dollar of which he carefully accounted. He made contracts amounting to several millions of dollars for rations, arms, clothing, and put New York harbor in a complete state of defense. For this the legislature had appropriated 81,000,000. Gen. Morgan did the work for $0,000, and returned $994,000 to the treasury.

In 18(12 Governor Morgan declined a renomination and was elected to the United States senate to succeed Preston King for the term ending March 1, 18i9. Since the expiration of his term as senator Mr. Morgan has held no office, although he was the Republican candidate for governor in 187(1, being defeated by Lucius Robinson, and in 1870, before the meeting of the Cincinnati convention, his name was mentioned in connection with the presidency. On the retirement of Mr. Fessenden from the ollice of secretary in 18C5, the position was offered to Mr. Morgan, who declined it, and on October 21, 1.SSI, President Arthur sent his name to the senate for confirmation as secretrry of the treasuay, and again he declined it.

Richard Wagner.

In a sketch of the eminent composer who died Wednesday it is said: [The subjects of his greatest productions are founded exclusively upon myths ami popular legends. Consequently while almost, wanting in human interest they are consummate feasts to such gifted, imaginative souls as sit at. the feet of the magical poet and musician. "Rienzi," a composition of his early manhood, proved a failure in Paris, where Wagner spent four miserable years of his life. The management, of the Grand Opera refused it point blank. The same fate befell "Faust," presented for performance at the same temple. "The Flying Dutchman" proved a failure in Wagner's native Germany. "Tannhauser" was another failure. "Lohengrin" was refused in Paris in spite of theanxity of the Emperor Napoleon 1II. for its production. After forty-seven roll ears' lis, the artists of the" Vienna Opera decided against "Tristram and lseulfe." Int the glorious success of "NibI'lungen in 1870, and of "Parsifal' in lss .', compensated for past failures.^

Wagner was paid $5,000 by the United States government for the "Centennial March," with which the Philadelphia exposition was opened in 1S7(. Beside his musical predclictions, Wagner had a hobby of believing himself a great politician. In 1849 lie placed himself at the head of the insurgents of Dresden and threatened to htirn and pillage all within his reach. This conduct cost him an inglorious exile in Switzerland. While residing in Zurich he distinguished himself by publishing in rapid succession fiery pamphlets against the German "despots" who had driven him thither.]

MICHIGAN SKXAXORSHIP.

Senator Kerry's Supporters Deserting: Hi in. TH:TI:OIT, Mich., Feb. 15.—Only one ballot was taken to-day with the following result: Ferry, 47 Newton, 29 with thirteen other Democratic votes scattering Burrows, 11 Cutchcon, 7 Willets, 9: with nine Republican'votes scattering. The five Fusion members voted for Ferry, and three of his previous supporters deserted him. A prolonged caucus of Ferry members was held last night, lasting till midnight, at which the formal withdrawal of Ferry was urged by many. His brother Edward made a' strong appeal tothememjers to adhere unflinchingly to him, but this aroused considerable opposition and some feeling. The proposed withdrawal was lost, by a bare majority, when some of the minority announced that they should no longer feel bound to support the senator. 'I he result was apparent in the vote to-day that a break up and a new deal is thought to be inevitable.

Tilt Investigation.

DKTKOIT, Mich., Feb. 15.—In the legislature bribery investigation this morning the witnesses Bailey and' Church were further examined. Nothing new was elicited, but yesterday's testimony was further confirmed. W. G. Thompson, mayor of Detroit, was then put on the stand, and testified to being in Washington last spring. He was called upon by Ferry, who requested bis co-operation in securing the delegation from Detroit to the legislature, who should favor Ferry's re-election. The witness demurred, giving among other reasons his opposition to Digby Y. Bell for collector of customs at Detroit. Ferry then said he bad taken pretty good care of Bell, and paid him about all he owed him, and therefore if Thompson would support him Ferry ihe could have the Detroit custom lions.-"'. Thompson accepted and came back to Detroit and proiceded to fix tilings for Ferry.

The house has referred the bill for the issuing of $150,000 bonds for the improvement of the Kankakee region to a special committee headed hy Mr. Frazier, to report to-morrow afternoon.

Mr. Stevenson's bill fixing court terms in the Second judicial circuit has passed the house.

The appellate court bill has passed the house, amended so that one of the judges shall be a Greenbacker. This was done by the vote of 63 to 20, on motion of Mr. Robinson, the solitary reenbackev.

The house has indefinitely postponed the bill to define the offense of attempting to compel a person to many.

A legislative excursion to Logansport will be made Saturday to consider the claims of that city for one of the asylums for the incurable insane.

The Yancey bill to prevent stock from running at large has failed in the senate for want of a constitutional majority.

The senate yesterday afternoon, by a vote of 39 to 7, passed the bill appropriating $40,000 for the relief of sufferers by the floods along the White, Wabash and Ohio rivers, amending the bill so as to include the lieutenantgovernor on the commission, which therefore consists of the governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary of state and auditor of state. The house this morning concurred inthe amendment, and the bill was promptly signed by the governor. In response to continued demands for relief from soutnorn part of the state, Mr. Jewett this morning introduced another bill appropriating $100,000 additional to the $40,000 to the sufferers, and after being read the first time, went over until to-morrow for action under the rule, two-thirds not voting for immediate action.

At the session of the house prison committee last night, it was agreed to recommend a change in the system of keeping the account of receipts and purchases at the southern prison the adoption of the same plan of keepin the boarding house at the southern prison as has been adopted at the northernjvesting the directors with sole power to make purchases of supplies, and instructing them to buy in the lowest market the appointment of a steward who shall be an expert caterer. Mr. Ilueston, of the committee, moved that Warden Howard slionld be severely censured for neglect of duly and that the directors be urged to remove him at once. The motion was not acted upon, but. Howard's friends were sufficiently alarmed to telegraph him to come here at once.

The house fee and salary committee last night voted to recommend the Moodv bill to the house, with slight amendments that do not disturb the main features. Mr. .Moody states that the bill will wipe out constructive fees. It will affect the larger counties particularly.

The house this morning passed a resolution urging congress to come to the relief of the (food sufferers.

Speaker Byiitim announced, this morning, that" it was customary t'orthe speaker' to have a private secretary, but that he had none because he believed he could get along without one.

Senator Bell, in his remarks this morning relative to (he asylum for the incurable insane, read a compilation of some statistics prepared by Dr. Rogers, of the insane asylum, which, while only covering a few counties of the state,"showed that in those counties there were thirty-two patients confined in jails without clothing 103 kept in cells twenty-two fed out of pans fourteen wearingballsand chains twenty-sevOn fed through a wicket three wearing handcuffs seven sleeping in straw, and two controlled by the rod. 'There were altogether about 1,000 incurable insane in the state.

In the senate this morning, Senator Bell called tip Ihe special order, being Senator Rabm's bill for the locating of additional insane asylums—one at Evansville and one at Fort Wayne. Senator Magee moved to postpone the further consideration thereof till Tuesday next at 10 o'clock, in view of the fact that the general assembly is invited to visit Logansport next Saturday, to return Sunday. It is is "but just, to that locality that this motion should prevail. Mr. Yoyles favored the motion, but doubted the propriety of building two additional asylums at this time. He incidentally referred to a location in bis district. Mr. Rabin introduced this bill over a month ago, and io postpone action now is simply to kill the bill. It. is due to his interests that this hill should be acted on without further delav. Evansville moved in the matter last November, and now for Cither cities to arrange excursions looks like an effort to kill the bill, and it is unfair to postpone it further from lime to time. There is a crying necessity for greater provision for the unfortunate insane now behind prison bars in the county poor houses all over the state. Mr. Spann moved a substitute motion, which was agreed to, that the bill be read the second time, now with the committee report thereon, and the further consideration thereof be postponed, and made the special order for Tuesday next- at 10 o'clock a. m.

The Mutual 1'iuou Stock.

The Express says a rumor was circulated that the Mutual Cnion company intended to reduce its stock from $10,000,000 to $200,000. Mr. Baker said that the matter had been under consideration, but no definite action had been taken. The suggestion of the reduction in stock immediately aroused interest in the terms of the Western Cnion lease, which had been announced as a guarantee of per cent on the stock. Inquiry disclosed the fact that the Western Cnion agrees to pay $350,000 per annum on account of the Mutual Union slock, $50,000 for

lid all he could, made speeches at Ihe the Mutual l*nion sinking fund, and

the annual interest on the Mutual Tnion bonds. The 000 to be paid on the stock is a fixed sum, entirely independent of the amount of the stock schedule.

KANSAS CITV, Mo., Sept. LI), IS.S2.

I think It a duty I owe to humanity to say what your remedy has done for me. One .vi'.*i n^o I con I nu-ted :i hail e:ise of blood disease, anil not knowi11 tc the ifsult of such troubles. I allowed it to run on for some time, biit tinally applied to the best physicians in this city, who trcatod me for six months. In that time 1 look over COO pills of protoiodide of merrury, }4 grain each, and had run down in weight from 210 to ir7 pounds, ami wns confined to my bed with Mercurial Rheumatism, scarcely able to turn myself in lied. Heing a traveling man, some of the fraternity found me in this deplorable condition, and recommended me to I ry your sne-^JE '!M 'T-*aa''l eases cific, a sBL^JLJLSHill»at had they ki»-wM J£ jgg "-e of sever-"" '"*ed by Us use. I commenced the use of it with very little faith, and in less than three weeks was able to take my place on the roan. The sores and copper-eoloreil spots gradually disappeared, and to-day I have mil a sore or spot on my person, and iny weight is 217 pounds, being more than il ewr was. /do not wish you to publish my name, but you may show this letter lo any who doubt tin? merit of S.
