Senator vToorhees

has considered

it ex

pedient to make a statement regarding thV'f&feral appointments In this state, to show that he has not neglected the soldiers or teen too-lavish in the bestowal of favors on the democracy of this city. The Indianapolis Journal very pointedly meets the poldier issue as follows:

In yesterday's -Sentinel Senator Yooriiflee mntrflfl a begging and pitiful plea to the well* proven charge against him, that he has retaored numerous Union soldiers from office and -has appointed none to office. The facts are dead against the senator. He very disingenuously cites the appointments of Colonels Dauby to China, MrtTiftjjtn- to. the pension department, and Williams to an auditorship. This won't do. He had little to do with these appointments! He oontrols the patronage in Indiana. To offices in Indiana, which eepe-' cially as senator he controls her has not appointed a single soldier. Every^ officer in In diana he has removed was a soldier. These in elude, among others, three collectors of internal revenue, the United States district attorney, 'and others. In every case he has recommended' to fill these places men who were, not soldiers. And his appointees have discharged all their soldier subordinates and supplanted them with men who were not soldiers. He has recommended in place of the gallant sdldier, Gen. B. S. Foster, United Stated marshal, a man named Hawkins, whose record is 'ttiat he never was a soldier, and never thought of being one. The record is against the senator. He has had filed charges of offensive-partisanship against every Union soldier who held an inportant federal officain Indiana. He had them all removed, be has filled every vacancy he so made with men who were not soldiers. Under Senator Voorhees' policy every Union soldier has got to go.

It seems that when au "old-master" had nothing else to do he set to work and painted a picture of the "Holy Family"—and he evidently had nothihg else to ddrabont'sixteen hours out of the twen-ty-four, That he should have concealed the* picture so that it eeuld not be found for a couple of hundred years after his death, shows that he had a very poor* opinion of his art merits.

America's Foreign Trade.

New York Tribune. For ten years the American mails have been carried to the South Saas under the Amerisan flag. and a valuable export trade with* Australia has been developed. The democratic administratis has only been in office a few months, bnt that flag is to be hauled down and that commerce broken up. The mails to Australia are to be carried nnder the British flag, and the postmaster general does not consider it o! the slightest importance whether the American steamers are taken "off the line Or not. As for the mails for Japan and China, he hopes to send them under. Qie British flag by way of the Suez canal without serious delay. It will not £ake long at this rate to drive the American flag from the seas and to complete the work begun by the English-built confederate cruisers.

NO CUSTOM HOUSE DELAYS,

Tourists May Go Home Without Losing a Day at the Barge Office. New York San.

The Ignited States treasury department has authorized the Ameiican Express company to receive the baggage of passengers from Europe upon arrival in New York to be forwarded immediately in bond, without examination,-to the principal ports of entry in the United States and Canada, where the duties, if any, will be assessed. This will relieve travelers from the delay and annoyance attending the present system of examination at the port of New York."

While passengers* were grumbling over the delays of the barge office system at this port, and steamship companies were urging the treasury department to permit them-to hasten patters by landing passengers on the piers, there was a movement on foot to further hasten the journev of those bound to the interior of the United States. Ever since this country has had laws to regulate the passenger traffic with foreign coun tries and the landing of baggage the laws have been construed to demand that every trunk, parcel, or hand-bag should bie opened as soon as it was landed from the vessel and. the contents then and there examined by the proper customs officer

many ye&rs afterward, no unnecessary inconvenience was experienced by travel' ers because there were no great interior cities, and the foreign travel Was confined chiefly to the seaport cities. But within a few years the growth of the west and the urgent desire of people from foreign countries to reach the interior at the earliest moment possible after landing here has_ set the transportation companies to devising'means for expediting travelers through this city,

The greatest delay which most interior lassengers experienced was the long, teious wait on the pier while the customs officers examined the baggage.. Fre quently the delay amounted to three

There was a hope in 1880 that something might be done, for an act was passed and approved which provided

fdt

the

immediate transportation of certain kinds of freight to the place of destination without examination, provided the destination was a port of entry, where the proper eustoms officers could examine it. Just when.it was attempted to forward baggage nnder this aet the treasury department, under the influence of the custom house at New York, decided that the act did not include passengers' baggage.

The American Express company had been urgently mo ring in the matter, and when the new administration came in last March, application was made to Secretary Manning for a decision in the .matter which would expedite business at this port. In due time this order was issued tt the collector of this port:

To avoid delay, entries of baggage for immediate transportation under these instructions will be completes at the Barge office or other landing place for paseengens within your district, and the baggage delivered at such places to die express compan es for transportation.

To take advantage of this ruling the ican Express company filed bonds

A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.

A Cancerous Patient's Larynx Cot Away—Replaced by Pipes and Raeda. BUFFALO, August 19.—One of the moet difficult operations, known to the profession was lately performed -«t the general hospital by Dr. Boswell Park, it being nothing less than the removal of the larynx of a patient in order to destroy a cancer that was taBt eating the parts away. The patient is Dr. J. H, Pierre, or Phillipsburg, Center copn Pennsylvania, who contracted the difficulty which lead to the disease while in the army in 1862. Dr. Park performed what is known as trachiotomy, cutting through die trachea from the front side of the throat and inserting a breathing tube. When the diseased parts were all cut away and the innumerable veins and the part thoroughly cleaned, silver tubes prepared in this city from models brought by Dr. Parks from Europe were inserted in the throat to replace the parts removed. A set of reeds are also in process of construction and are to replace the vocal organs. They trill be put in place this week. The patient is rapicUy recovering. This operation has been undertaken only twice before—once in-New York and once in St. Louis. In New York the patient lived, the other died.
