duly accredited delegates. To be selected as a candidate by such an assemblage from the list of eminent ' statesmen whose names were presented, fills me with embarrassment. I can only express my gratitude for so signal an honor, and my desire to prove worthy of the great trust reposed in me. In accepting the nomination, as I now do. I am impressed, I am also oppressed, with a sense of the labor and responsibility which attaches to my position. The burden is lightened, however, by the host of earnest men who support my candidacy, many of whom add. as d<*es vour honorable committee, the cheer of personal friendship to the pledge of political fealty. A more formal acceptance will naturally be expected, and will indue season be communicated. It may not, however, be inappropriate at this thne to sav that L have already made a careful study of the principles announced by the national convention, and that in whole and in detail they have my heartiest sympathy, and meet, my unqualified approval. Apart from your official errand, gentlemen. I am extremely happy to welcome you all to my house. With many of you I have already shared the duties of public service, and have enjoyed most cordial friendship. I trust your jonrney from all parts of the great republic has been agreeable, and during your stay in. Maine you will feel that you are not among strangers, but with friends. Invoking the blessings of God upon the great cause which we jointly represent, let us turn to the future without fear, and with manly hearts. At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine’s reply, the members of the committee were introduced to him individually, and an hour was spent in social and informal converse. The members of the committee then repaired to the residence of Colonel Osgood, where they were entertained at lunch, and at 1 o’clock left for Portland. _ LOGAN SERENADED By His Old Comrades in Washington—His Speech. Washington, June 21. —The ex-soldiers and sailors resident in Washington serenaded General Logan this evening. They assembled at City Hall, and, forming in platoons of twelve, marched, headed by the Marine Band, to the General’s residence, on Twelfth street, where a crowd of 2.000 or 3,000 citizens had already assembled. The procession was liberally supplied with banners, rockets, Roman candles and noisemaking devices. The banner of the Army of the Tennesese was displayed from the upper window of General Logan’s house. General Logan's appearance was greeted with a storm of cheers. When the applause subsided he was introduced in a brief speech by General Green B. Raum. General Logan then addressed the assembly as fellows: Comrades and Fellow-citizens: The warm expressions of confidence aud congratulations which you offer me through your chairman, impress me with a deep sense of gratitude. I beg to tender my sincerest thanks to oue and all of my participating friends, for this demonstration of kindness and esteem. Your visit at this time, gentlemen, is interesting to me in a double aspect. Ah citizens of our common country, tendering ,i tribute to me as a public man, I meet you vith genuine pleasure and grateful acknowledgment, inning, however, as vou do, in the character of representatives of the soldiers and sailors of our coun,ry, your visit possesses a feature insensibly leading to a train of most interesting reflection. [Applause.] Your assemblage is composed of men who gave up the pursuits of peace, relinquish the comforts of home, severed the ties of friendship, and yielded the gentle aud loving society of father, mother, sister and . brother, and in many instances wife and little ones, to brave the dangers of the tented field or crested wave, to run the gauntlet of sickness in climates different from your own, and possibly or even probably, to yield up life itself in the service of your country. twenty-three years ago, gentlemen, when tread war raised its wrinkled front throughout the land, many of you were standing with one foot upon the portal of manhood, eager for the conflict with the world. whih promised to bring you honor, riches and friends, and a life of peace aud ease m the society of your own family. But few of you had passed t&o period of young mauhood or advanced to the opening scene of middle life. At the call, however, of your '•ndauget ed country, you did not hesitate to leave everything for which we strive in this world to become one of the defenders of the Union, without the incentive which lias inspired the people of inany other nations to adopt a military career as a permanent, occupation, and as the outlet of ambition and ascent to power. [Cheers.] The safety of our country having been assured. and its territorial integrity preserved, you sheathed the sword, unfixed bayonets, laid away the muskets, housed the cannon, doffed your uniforms, donned 1 lie garments of civil life, buried your hatred, fowartl onr brothers of the South and shook hands in testimony of a mutual resolve to rehabilitate the waste placets and cultivate the arts of peace until our reunited country should be greater, prouder, and grander than ever before. [Great cheers.] Those years have glided into the retreating perspective of the past since you responded to your eountiv’s call, and mighty changes in the eventful march of nations have taken place. This passing time has laid its gentle lines upon the heads of many of you who shouldered your muskets before the first beard waa grown, but however lightly or however heavily it has dealt with you, your soldiers’and sailors’ organizations that have been kept up prove that the heart has been untouched, and that your love for your country has but been intensified with advancing years. /Cheers.] Ycflir arms have been as strong and your voices as clear in the promotion of peace as when lent '■othe science of war. and the interest which you take in national affairs proves that you are patriotically determined to maintain what you fought for and that which our lost comrades gave up their lives to secure for the benefit of those who survived them. [Applause. long continued.] During the last twenty years, in which we have been blessed with peace, the Republican party has been continued in the administration of the government. Whpn the great question of preserving or giving up the Union of States was presented to us it was the Republican party which affirmed its perpetuation. I open no wounds, nor do 1 resurrect any bad memories in stating this as an undeniable fact. When you and [, my friends, aud that vast body of men who, haring leclared in favor of preserving the Union, were compiled to resort to the last dread measure—-the arbi- • rament- of war—we did so under the call of the Remblican party. Many of us had been educated by our fathers in the Democratic school of politics, and many of us were acting with that party at the time the issue of war was presented to us. For years the Democratic party had wielded the destinies of our government and had served its purpose under the narrower views of an ideal republic, which then existed; but the matrix of time has developed anew child of progi-ess, which saw t.he light of day under the name of the Republican party. Its birth announced the conception of a higher, broader principle of human government than had been entertained by our fathers. But few of us. perhaps none, took in the full dimensions of the coming fact at that early day. It broke upon us gradually, like the morning sun, as he rises in the misty dawn above the sleepy mountain top. At length it came in full blaze, and, for the first time in the history of our republic, we began to give genuine vitality to the declaration of 1776 “that all men are created equal.” and entitled to the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. [Cheers.]. The Republican party was the unquestionable agency which bore these rights to the waiting age, and it was the Democratic idea which disputed their value, first upon the field of battle and subsequently, aud tip to this moment, at the polling places of Jjie country. The Republican party then represents tup latest fruition of governmental progress and is destined to survive, upon the theory that “the strong outlives the weak” until the development of principles still more advanced shall compel it to measure its steps with the march of ages, or go to the wall, as an instrument which has fulfilled it destiny. So as long as the l>emocratic party shall cling, either in an open or covert manner, to the traditions belonging to the expired era of our development, just so lon£ will the Republican party be charged with the administration of our government. In making this arraignment of the Democracy, mv friends, I appeal to no passions nor reopen settled questions. I but utter calm, sober words of truth. I say that until every State in this broad and beneficent Union shall give free recognition to the civil and political rights of the humblest of its citizens, whatever his color; until protection to American citizens follows the flag at home and abroad; until the admirable monetary system established by the Republican party shall be placed beyond danger of subversion: until American labor and industry shall lie protected by wise and equitable laws, so as to give full scope to our immense resources, and place every man upon the plane to which he is entitled by reason of bis capacity mid worth [cheers]; until education will lie as general as our civilization; until we shall have established a wise American policy that will not only preserve peace with other nations, but will cause every American citizen to honor his government at home, and every civilized nation to respect our flag [renewed cheering]; until the American people shall permanently establish i thoroughly e<sonomic system upon the American ideal, which will preserve and foster their own interests, uninfluenced by English theories or Cobden Clubs,” and until it is conceded beyond subsequent rovooation that this government exists upon vhe basis a suf-sustaining, self-preserving nation. K..a the fatal doctrine of “independent State sover- j eigritv,” upon which the war was founded, shall be .stamped as political heresy out of which continued revolution is born, and wholly incompatible with that idea of the republic, the Republican party will have much work to do and an unfulfilled mission to perform. [At this point the speaker was Interrupted for some time by cheers and applause.] The standard-bearer of the party in the ensuing campaign Is James G. Blaine. [Great cheering.J Known throughout the land as one of the truest and ablest representatives, he has been called to this nosi tion by the voice of the people, in recognition of his special fitness for the trust, and in admiration of the purpriflinf combination of brilliancy, courage, faith-

fulness, persistency and research that has made him one of the most remarkable figures which bus appeared upon the forum of statecraft ill any period of this country. That such a man should have enemies aud detract ors is as natural os that our best fruits should bo infested with parasites, or that there should exist small and envious minds which seek to belittle that which they can never hope to imitate or equal: aud that he shall triumph over UMMtnd lead t.he Republican hosts to another victory in November is as corn twin as the succession of the seasons or the rolling of the spheres in their courses. Gentlemen, again 1 thank you for this visit of congratulation and extend to you. one and all, my grateful acknowledgements. [Cheers.] The speech-making continued to a late hour Among the orators, who-were all ex-soldiers, were Senators Plumb .and Harrison, General Cutclieon, of Michigan: General Nathan Goff, of West Virginia: lion. A. H. Pettibone, of Tennessee, and General T. M. Bayne, of Pennsylvania. THE PARTY’S LEADER. Candidate Calkins Tells How He Came to Enter Upon a Political Life. Chicago Tribune, Saturday. Congressman W. H. Calkins, of LaPorte, Tnd., who has just been nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor of his State, arrived last evening with Mi’s. Calkins, at the Grand Pacific. “1 am returning to Washington,” he said, “for no other reason than to look after the naval appropriation bill. I am the only Republican from the Honse on the conference committee, and I want to see that tho estimates are not cut down too much, and that mone$ r enough is voted to continue the work on the cruisers now in course of construction. It is a shame that a country like ours cannot have a navy, and that our enormous coast line should be at the mercy of any third-rate power that might seek a quarrel with us. ” In regard to his nomination 3b*. Calkins said: “I do not care to discuss politics just yett I feel confident that we will carry the State. The nomination of Blaine and Logan takes splendidly in Indiana, and Republicans are everywhere united. Still, the State is close at best, and it is going to be a rough-and-tumble fight. Since 1850 the Democrats have not carried the State for President, except in 1870, and then they had only a plurality of 5,000 votes. The Republican and Greenback vote combined left them about 8,000 votes in the minority. The situation was reversed in 1880. and we had a plurality, but were in the minority as against the combined opposition. So you seo that the Democrats have no grounds upon which to claim Indiana among the Democratic States. It is anybody’s fight, but I have no fear of the result. ” I think we will come out on top. My opponent will probably he Gov. Gray, an active ■worker and a first-rate talker. I see there is some talk of running Gov. Hendricks against me, but I hardly think that he will consent to it. If he should be the man it might prove to be a case of David and Goliath—at least I should rely upon the justice of my cause.” Congressman Calkins, though still a y oung man, made his first race for Congress in 1874. He tells a funny story about how he came to enter public life. “At that time,” he said, “I had a fine law business and was making money pretty fast. Two corporations alone paid mo $6,000 a year each. I knew there was no money in politics, and had no idea of running for Congress. One day. siting in my office, I picked up a country paper and read a flattering notice of myself, in which my nomination was urged upon the ground that I could carry the district. I read the notiee over carefully and thought to myself this is about the correct thing,’ and then I picked up my pen and addressed a letter to the editor, a personal friend of mine, thanking him, but assuring him that under no cir cumstances could I consent to give up my practices and enter public life. I sealed the envelope and then picked up another paper, in which a very different kind of a notice met my eye. This one stated that it was generally understood that I was being groomed for Congress; that I was a pretty bright young man, who, with a little patience, might be taken up in time, but that my present display of freshness was totally out of order, and that anyhow I could not be elected. It wound up by saying that it was really unnecessary to consider the matter, as I could not possibly be nominated. Well, as I had not given the subject a thought and was innocent of the charge, it put me in a white heat, so I tore up the letter I had just written to my friend and wrote him another asking him to announce in his paper that I was a candidate for Congress: and further, that I would surely be nominated. I was nominated and defeated, and in 1876, naturally, I sought a second nomination to get a vindication and keep from being snuffed out, so that is how I loft a fine law business to enter upon the uncertain sea of politics.”

A TRULY REPRESENTATIVE TICKET. Prof. Langston’s Kntliiisiaam lor tlie Head of the Ticket. New York Tribune, Saturday. Prof. John M. Langston, United States minister to Hayti, who sailed on the Alvo on Wednesday, on his return voyage to Port au Prince, said to a Tribune reporter just before his departure: “Next to Garfield, I regard James G. Blaine as the finest specimen of the American bred gentleman to be found in the laud. AH the fruits of American civilization—scholarship, culture and statesmanship—have been combined in him. All that our schools and colleges and practice in government can do for two men was done for Garfield and Blaine. The letter of Mr. Blaine accepting a portfolio in Garfield's Cabinet is one of the finest specimens of writing to bo found iu the world. It indicated that not only his head, but his heart was in the production—showing absoluto loyalty to his accepted chief." “You have been studying his chances of election?” •Ho will be elected by Republican votes. But there are to be some great changes. I believe he will get the largest Irish vote ever given to any Republican. He will get it because the Irish believe in a home government for the home people, and because they like his intensely American policy. I believe he will get the largest negro vote, "in the Northern States especially —where it will do the most good—of all Republicans who have yet made the race. Probably no public man is so widely known or has such influence, where his policy is understood, among colored men, as Mr. Blaine. I once saw seven of the most influential, prominent colored men of the land sitting about Mr. Blaine’s table, at which James A. Garfield was also a guest, with oue or two other prominent white statesmen, and with the ladies of his household present. These gentlemen were the bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of America. As they left Mr. Blaine’s mansion, it was interesting to listen to the eloquent words with which they celebrated his praise for the consideration and courtesy shown to them. Only a day or two ago, one of them, visiting at my home in Washington, alluded to this incident, and avowed liis intention of doing liis utmost for Mr. Blaine's election. He added: ’lf I recollect the history of that great event, it was Mr. Blaine who introduced iu Congress the resolution that constituted the basis in that body ou which the Fourteenth Amendment was finally submitted to the people and passed into constitutional law.’” “Can Mr. Blaine carry any of the Southern States?” “I believe that it is possible, with reasonable effort and no groat outlay, to carry West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and possibly Maryland. The Louisiana Cotton Exposition, open to all the world, will have i large moral influence in giving assurance of a fair veto and a fair count in tliat State this year. There is no question hut that Louisiana is Republican in a fair count, and the question of tariff can be presented with great effect, both to the sugar plantersand to the laborers. The name of General Logan on the ticket will be of great service in the Southern States in encouraging the colored voters to stand for their rights." m MU. BLAINE WILL WIN. HU Nomination the Result of the Popular Will—Slanders Will Not Snccoccl. Geo. U. lairing, of Massachusetts. “Mr. Blaine will surely bo elected. Ido not say so as a mere jiarty boast, or because I am wrought up and overwhelmed with enthusiasm for the ticket, but because it is my honest end candid judgment. Noboity can say, or will attempt to say, that the nomination was not fairly

secured. It was a most astonishing uprising of the party. The gentlemen who threaten to bolt cannot but admit this. Would they not have bolted Arthur if he had been nominated? There was at no time any wide sentiment throughout the party except for one or the other of these two candidates. I think before the canvass is over the objectors will all be back in the party, giving warm support to its platform and ticket. Gentlemen from Massachusetts tell me that the masses of Republicans in that State, who for a long time have been in revolt, are returning to the party by the hundreds, and that they will offtfet thrice over the opposition now displayed in Boston. “It has been the fate of all public men who have reached eminence in the republic to be assailed by tho malicious or envious. Lincoln, Seward and General Arthur have been attacked alike with Blaine. There has been almost cruelty in tho things said about President Arthur, whose administration has been one of tho best in the country's history’. But when you remember that such men as Dr. Storrs, and Horace Davis, who is as pure a man as lives, believe in and sustain Mr. Blaine, there is no need for any man to stand back and withdraw his support because of these attacks on him. The President’s friends, lam glad to see, are responding to the party spirit most heartily aud cordially. I have never heard the slightest intimation from the President of an unkindly character toward Mr. Blaine, and his dispatch after the nomination was made was just the proper thing. “The struggle this fall is to he between American industries, interests and development as opposed to foreign interests. In such a contest I believe the American people will always rally for their own. A people as intelligent, as active, as ready as ours will never subscribe to the doctrine that we are not fully competent as a nation to take care of ourselves against the world.” POLITICAL NOTES. Missouri Democratic Editors* Presidential Choice. Sedalia. Mo., June 21. —The Democrat, of this city, will to-morrow publish letters from seventy-five leading Democratic editors of Missouri, called forth by a request for their preference for President. The opinions thus expressed probably represent the sentiments of the Democrats of this Mate better than anything yet published. A compilation of the preferences gives nearly three-fourths in favor of the nomination of Cleveland. Ten want Bayard, while the others are scattering in their choice. All but two or three believe Tilden’s letter is a positive declination, and that he is out of the race. Ono editor, however, declares himself for Tildeu forever, dead or alive. For Vice-president, over half favor McDonald, while Hoadly, Palmer. Cleveland, Morrison, Slocum, Butler and Rosecrans are all mentioned favorably. lowa Prohibitionists at Work. Des Moines, la., June 21. —1 tis no longer possible to disguise the fact that another assault upon the Supreme Court is to made by the lowa Prohibitionists. Judge Rothrack's term expires next January, and the order has gone forth to displace him with a Prohibitionist who will join with Judges Reed and Beck in the reversal of the court’s decision overthrowing the late prohibitory amendment. This scheme was very fully developed to-day by the springing of the name of Judge Nourse before the PoTk county primaries. No announcement of his candidacy was made until the appearance of the morning papers, and the primaries were held this afternoon. There was no time for organized resistance so he went through a-whooping. Nourse’s candidacy is sprung for the single purpose of retiring J udge Rothrock in order that the court may restore to life the dead amendment. There is the livelist kind of a fight ahead over the question of the judgeship.

Mr. Blaine and tlie Jewish Persecution. Special to the Chicago Tribune. The Hebrews of the country will not be likely to forget that Mr. Blaine, while Secretaryjof State, succeeded in forcing the Russian government to abandon its policy of persecutiou of the Jews. His course was a very vigorous one. and doubtless well illustrates the manner in which he would protect American citizens abroad if elected President. The persecution of the Jews having been called to his attention, Mr. Blaine gave the Russian government to understand that the United States would not tolerate any interference with American citizens, and at tho same time he submitted to the British goverment a proposition that the two governments unite in the cause of civilization to Drovent Jewish proscription in Russia. This fact was also brought to the attention of the Russian government, and the result was that a great many persecuted Hebrews went free. It is a curious fact that Mr. Blaine’s correspondence upon this subject while Secretary of State did not appear in the volume of diplomatic correspondence of the State Department issued by his successor. Miscellaneous Politics, Tho Tammany committee on organization have decided to seud 600 members to the Chicago convention. The committee appointed by the Republican county committee of New York to make arrangements for a monster Blaine and Logan ratification mass-meeting, have decided to hold the meeting two weeks hence. The speakers will he Senator Hawley. Secretary Lincoln, Governor Oglesby, Secretary Frelinghuysen and Secretary Teller. The notification committee arrived in Portland at 3 o’clock on Saturday, and at 7:30 a committee of citizens escorted the committee to the City Building, where they were introduced to the mayor, and distinguished citizens were present. At 8 the guests and their hosts filed into tho hall and the members of the committee and others indulged in speech-making to a late hour. WASHINGTON NOTES. [Concluded from First Page. partment, will, it is said, resign his position and take charge of Calkins's headquarters in the coming campaign in Indiana. Ellsworth is about thirty years old. is Calkins’s confidential friend, was his clerk of committee on elections in the last Congress, and is trustworthy. He is is well acquainted with Indiana politics, and will, according to rumor, be Calkins's private secretary when the latter is Governor. Dr. G. W. Fleming, of Shelbyville, and his wife are visiting the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Gorgas, at No. 111 G, New York avenue. Mrs. Fleming, who is a fine artist, has made copies of pronounced merit from the paintings “Fun and Fright” and “Charlotte Corday’ ’ in the Corcoran art gallery. Representative Converse, of the Columbus (O.) district, left for his home to night to attend the Ohio Democratic convention. To-morrow Messrs. Geddes, Wilkins, Campbell and several other Democratic members, and Colonel Ike Hill will start for Columbus. Much regret is expressed at the refusal of Mr. Converse to ask for a re-election. He is popular in both parties here, his course generally being fair and consistent as a Democrat. Messrs. John C. Now and Woodard arrived here to-night, and will go to New York to-mor-row night, the former to attend the meeting of the national Republican committee, which meets on Thursday. Missouri River Boat Sunk. St. Louis, June 22.—The steamer Montana which left here at 8 o’clock last evening, with five hundred tons of assorted freight, for Kansas City and other Missouri river points, struck the Wabash railroad bridge at St. Charles, about It o'clock this morning and sunk. She will probablv be a total loss. Tho boat was owned by Oapt Btieseu, of Alton. Til., Capt. 11. A. Phillips, of Kansas City, and Mrs. Emmati. Jenkins, of St. Lous. She was rated at $22,000; insured for $15,000 Her freight list and charges were also insured. Part of the cargo will be recovered.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. [Concluded from First Page.] scandal which lias for several days past been whispered about in the elubs, is expected to raise a commotion in Belgravia. The story is told in much greater detail by a well-known detective, who is engaged exclusively upon what are known as “society cases.' 1 According to this authority the lady’s maid was a modest appearing and demure j-oung person, who seetnea to give great satisfaction to the lady, but who never mixed witli the other servants, and was regarded as supercilious and disagreeable. An upper housemaid of the lady’s household, who especially disliked the lady's maid, had for her beau a very intelligent member of the police force, and she told him of her dislike for her fellow-servant. This led the constable to take particular notice of the privileged maid. He soon observed little peculiarities in her manner and bearing that led him to believe that a masquerade was in progress, and that, in fact, tho maid was a man. The policeman at once jumped to the conclusion that the young man had gained access to tho lady's household for the purpose of robberry, and was biding his time to leave with the jewel-ease. The officer reported his suspicion and theory to his superiors, and was instructed to follow up the case and obtain conclusive evidence as to the suspected person's sex. He soon found abund ant proof that his suspicions were correct and made haste to inform the lady that the person whom she had harbored as a confidential maid was in fact a young man. It is stated that the zealous policeman uever felt so cheap and ill rewarded in his life as when he saw that his startling intelligence was received with neither hor ror nor surprise, nor even with thanks. The lady's manner crashed him witli the conviction that he told her no news, and that he had gone at an exceedingly imprudent thing in presuming to enlighten her concerning tlio affaire of her own household. If the detective’s belief is well founded, the motive of the lady in conniving at the masquerade is an inexplicable mystery to all but herself and perhaps “the maid.” It is stated that the young man will be pensioned off by the lady's family'on condition that he will leave England and never return. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. A Movement for Federating German Colonizing Societies, London. June 21.—A movement is in progress for federating the various colonizing societies which have recently become numerous in Germany, with a view of securing greater efficiency by unity of action. Late dispatches from the German colony in Syria show that it is increasing in number" and prosperity. A syndicate is now trying to arrange for the construction of a railroad to market the colonists’ produce, at a coat of 30,000,000 marks. Reforms in Cnba ReAtsecl. Madrid, June 22.—1n Congress, yesterday, the West India members advocated the suppression of export duties, a reduction of the import duties, a reduction of expenses from $34,000,000 to $24,000,000, and the early conclusion of a treaty of commerce with America as the only means of extricating Cuba from the economical depression now existing. The government declared that it was impossible for Spain to assume the Cuban debt aud annual deficit, and it was impossible to satisfy Cuban aspirations for better commercial relations with America, which would damage the Peninsular treaty with the colonies. A slight reform was promised to facilitate trade between Spain and Cuba. The depression, it was declared, had been aggravated by the too rapid abolition of slavery. The reply of the government caused much discontent among the members.

German Bank Scheme. Berlin, June 21.—The Tageblatt reports a meeting of German merchants here with Herr Declaude, president of the Imperial Bank, to discuss tlie proposed formation of a bank of translantic commerce.

Cincinnati, June 21.—There was a crowded room in Judge Maxwell’s court this morning, when E. W. Kittridge and Wm. Ramsey, representing the Hamilton County Bar Association, handed to Judge Avery, presiding judge, the list of the charges against T. C. Campbell, the leading criminal lawyer of the city, in the proceeding to disbar him. Campbell was present and was handed the list, being the only one who has yet seen them outside the committee preparing them. He waved service and all technical delays, and asked an immediate trial. The committee said they could not be ready with their testimouey for tnree weeks yet, and the trial was finally set down for July 21. Although kept very close, it is understood the charges embrace about a dozen specifications, about four of which relate to the Berner trial, one to making a witness drank and getting him to swear falsely; compounding a felony when prosecuting-attorney; causing anew note to be made and sworn to where a date was in question; trying to set aside a judgment by false evidence; procuring perjury; his conduct in an embezzlement ease, and another, recalling the famous Dickey-Titus bastarday case in 1878, a case which involved people of the highest social standing in Cincinnati and vicinity, aud the most famous case of the kind on record in Ohio. Campbell expresses the utmost willingness to meet all the charges. THE FIKE RECORD.

The Soldiers ou the Republican Ticket. “Jayhawker,” In Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho soldiers got the good offices, and, in proportion to their number among tho voters of tho State, got considerably more than their share, but they got them more upon merit than as a reward for military services. There is an element of tho highest manhood in Major Calkins, which I said yesterday. After ho was nominated a party of liis friends wanted him to go with them and receive congratulations. “Just wait till I send a telegram to my best friend, my mother, and I will go with you,” was his reply. The friends bowed, and waited in silence while the big-hearted boy sent over the wires the word that would bring back to him tho most earnest congratulation that could come to him on earth. Somehow thoso friends seemed to look up to him with a feeling of reverence after that. A Word to Anonymous Suicides. Now York Commercial Advertiser. It is a duty which every man owes to his country, if not to his creditors, to have his name and address plainly written inside of the lining of his hat. A little more consideration upon the part of suicides for tho feelings of others would certainly be advisable.

HOW IT WORKS. Woman Suffrage in Washington Territory— A Crusade Against Saloons Correspondence Sail I'i,mcisci, Chronicle. “Well, how does it work?” “What?” “This new lymph your Legislature has injected into the body-politic.” “Oh, woman suffrage! Well, the suffrago does well enough. So few women vote wo hardly notice it. But how would you like to be a wifeless man, say forty-eight hours, while your wife was hung oil jury duty? So it was here last term. There were two or three, I don't remember the exact number, ladies. It was an ill-fame case. Jurv stood ten for and two against conviction. One of the two finally was convened. But tho survivor, a hardened old fellow, stayed out against the eleven. The ladies stood the confinement, as well as he did and better. They wouldn't give up; kept talking to him about ‘principle, principle!' (what did he care about principle?); kept it up all night. Finally, in tha morning, when he tried to get a little sleep, they stuffed sand in his mouth to keep him awake for more talk, and so wore him out. This conversation I had at Tacoma yesterday. At Seattle my informant said: “We come to the first voting experiment with our new citizens in about three weeks—the occasion of our city election. We have a mayor, chief of police, assessor and five councilmen to elect. An entire change in the complexion of our city government is possible. The last Legislature increased the number of our councilmen, as the city now covers twice as much ground as it used to, and contains one-half more population. Well, already the new electioneering tactics of the candidates have begun. They go to all the church fairs, patronize the grab-hags, buy chances for rings in the religious lotterycakes, and are seen pretty constantly at prayermeeting. They are now always to be found at churcli on Sundays, and give the loudest ameus, but they don't whoop it up among the hoys as they used to." Indeed, the “boys” must have received a hackset. 1 talked with one of them, a venerabl. saloon-keeper on Front street, an old citizen and property owner. Quoth he: “Yes, they’ve raided us pretty heavily here, and hurt the saloon and cigar business a good deal. You see, just as soon as the women got on the grand jury they went to work and indicted every saloon in the city where women were kept, found bills against five in aIL Mind you, they didn't molest the girls kept in the saloons. Not at all. Nor did tney pester the houses kept by women. Not one of them was hauled up or fined. But the men-bosses, they had to take it. And the judge, when the cases were proven, just crowded it on —ssoo fine—just the fullest extent of the law, and a lecture with it. We fought our cases every way we could. In Tacoma we claimed that no * acts were proved, but, blamed if the judge didn’t claim that this wasn’t necessary; and the jury—they went in a body, women and all, and inspected one of our places. They even had diagrams prepared and made a thorough inspection, too. Oh, they found out all about our rooms and the way the business is conducted. The gamblers were made to suffer even worse. Why, there isn’t a public gambling place open in this city to-day. You can't find the chips anywhere. Just think of it! All the dealers were fined SI,OOO apiece, jailed fifteen days and put under bonds. In a week there wasn't one on the street. Court adjourned two weeks ago, and now they're coming back. There are four places where faro is dealt, just opened, but with closed doors and keepers, you bet! But there are only a few games left.” I departed smelling the sigh with which tins was said. In Walla Walla, from what competent authorities there assured me some days ago, it is plain that the changes are quite as radical. One of their influential citizens discoursed to me thus: “It is evident to any one who listens to the street talk here that all our more conservative oitizens. including our hard-working men, day laborers and the like, are pleased with this infusion of the sexual element into our suffrages and courts of justice. It is anew question, of course, and we come to it slowly. It came to us almost simultaneously with another reform very much needed, viz., the registration act. By that act in the three largest towns in the Territory, all voters must be registered—no more ‘running in’ of riff-raff from anywhere and voting it merely ‘on oath.’ What surprises us all not a little is that very few women seem to want to vote, and as for performing jury duty, they dodge it in every way they can.”

Peculiarity of Church Debts. Chicago News. That man must have hail a lucky experience in “lifting" upon corporate debts if he has not found that they have as many lives as a cat. A church debt has to be “paid .up in full” about three times before the patient benefactors finally master what is commonly called “the shrinkage'' of the subscription; but which perhaps is really “the swellage’’ of the debt. Fateut Medicines, Asa rule, have the reputation of imposing on the credulity of the public in the shape of adroitly concocted advertisements, and other devices to catch the eye of those who are suffering.
