Ilia physicians and friends have Riven up all Lopes of his recovery. His death may be looked for at any moment. It is remarked of Mr. Cleveland, that "he is a crank on the subject of honesty." A. good point to be "cranky" about. Tiizbe will be no bettiDg this coming summer on hone races at Coney Island. Th:s destroys all interest for some people. It is said that although the gallant General Black, cf Illinois, will not go into the Cabinet, he will hold an important position in the Government. How fervidly the Blaine organs do hope lor a completa failure of the incoming Ad. ministration ! It sticks out like "quills upon He fietfol porcupine." The assistant postmaster at Dallis, Tex., lias been arrested for embezzlement He is an Ohio man. By the way, luck seems to have forsaken the "Ohio man." A Paris cablegram of the 20th gives the information that the Fenians and dynamiters in l'au's were preparing for further attacks on public buildings in London. It ie now stated that Mr. Whltnsy was sot even offered a Cabinet portfolio. Those Albany correspondents eeem to hate a happy and busy time in denying one day what they wired the day before. The correspondents have all the Cabinet positions filled now except the War and Navy Departments. These will remain open until Mr. Cleveland reaches Washington and consults with prominent Democrats. George Alfred Townsesd (Oath) is quoted as saying that Mr. Cleveland is wholly j;lven over to the arristocratic element. This sounds very like the talk of a fool. Mr. Cleveland's movements and conversations suggest the very opposite, and this fellow "Gath" knows it, if he knows anything about Mr. Cleveland, A witness swore in court in Nashville, Tenn., last Saturday, that he had seen convieis at Coal Creelr cook and eat rats in the mine. Convicts worked in six and twelve inches of water eint hours per day, and a'so labored Sunday night?. The mines were filthy, the air bad and the clothing scanty, and the food insufficient They were whipped for failing to complete tasks, and their cries were heard seventy yards distant. There is evidently a new Warden wanted a, the Tennestee Penitentiary. A rumor was afiant In Washington last Saturday that Mr. Lamar had determined not to go into the Cabinet. A Washineton special says: "Toe Senator's appearance tended to give credence to the report. He was very low-spirited, and showed It to everybody. It was evident that something depressed him.' He has not, however, changed his mind in regard to the Cabinet, lis bss determined to take the Secretaryahip of the Interior. To a friend to-day he said he felt oppressed at the new duties he was about to assume. He raid that he did not eel any regret at leaving the Senate, but he feared he might not be equal to his new duties." MS. ARTHUR. President Arthur proposes to seek some recreation at Fortress Monroe. He has become debilitated, due to mental anxiety, and this assertion, eays a New York correspondent, Is made on the word cf Police Commissioner French, who has just returned from a visit to Washington, where his daughter has been speeding a month with the President's family. "At no time in the four years which he has almost served," says Mr. French, "has he been so annoyed and badgered by office-seekers from every part of the Union as within the last month. They importuned him in droves dally to five jobs to them before his euccessor came into power. This constant onslaught at times cf the mcst intfuential character imaginable, has tired him out broken him down completely, and put him into euch a condition that absolute rest is essential." From Fortress Monroe Mr. Arthur will go farther South, on a long cruise in a sailing yacht. After spending a month or two at the wateri Dg places, he will return to New York, and if in good health, resume the law. Mr. French eays, in conclusion, that beyond this he has made no plans for the future. His physicians and intimate friends have advfjed him to live quietly for at least six month, and especially to avoid excitement

or arnoyarce cf any Kind. He h&a saved but little from bis salary as President. Mr. Fierch gives the amount, in his opinion, at 75,0C0. This would be considered quite a comfortable fortune in Hoosierdom nowadays. Mr. French's social and political intimacy with Mr. Arthur makes this statement credible above all the different reports that have gone eut as to his Intentions. Mr. Arthur carries with him wherever he goe3 the best wishes and good will of the entire American reople.

OPEN THE BOOKS. The B'ame organs have made, a concerted attack on Mr. Manning. They evidently drew their inspiration from one eource. We do not know where that is and do not care to know. Perhaps the organs prefer a different sort ot a man for the Treasury Department, as there have been some very naughty stories circulating about the management of that branch of the Government. It was ascertained nearly ten years ago that the books were being kept a pood deal like a one-horse corner grocery. Erasures, scratched fi gures and blunders were reported, and ia eome cases entire padres were missiDg. Siace then there has been an abundance of time for the recreation of an entire new series of books, and the oM ones burned up or put out cf Eight somewhere. Yet it would be gratifying to the country to know that the new Secretary of the Treasury, now understood to be Mr. Manning, would give the Treasury books and vaults an entire overhauling. The New York San seems to know something about Mr. Manning, and it says that he has the reputation cf being "a tboroughgou g business man, who will stand no nonsense, and who, if he should be called to the Treasury, would make short work of the dishonesty, incapacity, and slnecurism which have so long ruled there, and which are not to be driven out by halfway measures. No wonder the Treasury officials regard him with apprehension. He is a man of common sense, and it will be impossible to humbug him. lie is not the victim of any delusion in regard to the kind of reform needed in the Treasury, and should he become the heal of that important and mismanaged department, it iasafe to predict that tbere would be summary changes there, in men as well as in methods." Whether Mr. Manning is finally nettled upon or not as the chief of the Treasury, we hope that there ill be a thorough overhauling and that "the books will he opened." If those kept during the administration of Hayes and Grant erenot destroyed we Imagine that they will : fiord eome very interesting information to the American people. THE INAUGURATION EVENT. On the Ith inst., amongst the utmost good order, without a guardsman about his p ertön, with a feeling of as perfect safety as any civilian in his rural home, the Presidentelect of tha American Republic will, in the presenca of many thousand, have administered to him the oath of office of Chief Executive, for four years, of a Nation of 05,000,000 people. This entirely peaceable installation of the new Chief Magistrate is the more striking eince it celebrates, also, the retirement from powpr of a party which has dominated public afialrs for twenty four years and the ascendency of its rival through all these years. What an admirable system government, &nd what a well-poised people ours, that a political revolution auch as this hould have been accomplished without the jostling of a cog or the stoppage of a wheel in the vast machinery of government. It is a scene for Nations to look upon. Another country ban oars, with forty feeling running sc high and party vote so nearly equal, might have had turmoil and bloodshed. There were evil-minded men in the defeated party who. with their motto of "claim everything," would have precipitated the country into trouble could they thereby have carried their ends. But bekind these was the sturdy citizenry of thirty-eight States shaking its honest head and sayinc, "Claim what is the right claim no more!"' The press of the land, Republican (f ave a few unprincipled a.d rabid sheet) as well as Democratic, echoed in no uncertain tones the voice of its yeoman clientage: "Claim what is the right claim no more !" The filibusters, seaiDg they cculd not dupe the honest masses ot even their own party, retired shooting popguns as tbey fell back. Gradually the country has been warming up to .the inauguration day. Thousands of Republicans have passed from tiler. t acquiescence into cheerful acceptance of the result And Wednesday will witness a xrultitude gathered withia the capital city from every section of the Union, Republican and Democrats, inspired by a national pride, wishing for the new occupant of the White House four years of healthful and successful administration. Verily, we Americans are a great people. We have our family quarrels, but we make them up and find ourselves still admiring each other. We are all Americans, as the English press correspondent discovered when he tackled the New York reporter, a Republican, In a jeerlrg way, with the question: "I say, Mr. Brag, if the United States Government is so powerful as it could whip all other nations combined, attacking you on your shores; I eay, Mr. Brag, what made it, then, take you four years to whip out those few little Southern States? I say, eh?" "I'll answer that," responded the New Yorker; "'tis because those Southerners, even if they were rebels, are Americans. Had they been Englishmen, we would have whipped them out in six months." THE THOMPSON CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. The Senate bill, now in the House, specifying and guaranteeing equal civil rights to all citizens of Indiana will, we trust, receive the unqualified indorsement of the Representatives. The bill is right, just and proper, and we are pleased that it was the offering of a Democratic Senator. We shall be glad to see the Democratic majority In tha Legislature demonstrate to oar colored f el-

low-citizens the truth that the Dsmocrat'c party of Indiana desire them possessed of every right and privilege equally, under tie laws, with the white citizens, and the poor equally with the rich. The Republican party hai been blistering its tongue with the statement that the Democracy la the enemy of the colored people. There Is no better time than now to give the falsehood to the slander than by proving by legislative action its untruth. In reality, there is no need to appeal to the House in this matter as far as the sentiment goes, but the end of the session is nearing, and we would not have this among the bit's that may fail of attention and passage.

Can it be possible that the picturesque Chevalier Habtcad has found his way back to Cincinnati again. We thought he was announced among recent arrivals at Washington; but the fearful information in yesterday's C. G. makes us hesitate. These headlines are not the work of a 'prentice hand. They suggest in outline the wonderful possibilities of that recent Halsteadian screed, "The Revival of Sectionalism." Herr Sonnenthal, the celebrated actor, has just bid adieu to Vienna and the Vienmese for America. He had an immense Ovation in the Burg Theater Saturday nigh. A cable epecial says that when the curtain rung down there were cries of "Come back stain soon!" "Gluck auf!" "A happy journey to you!" The Emperor, the Crown Pricc9, the Crown Trincess, the Archduke Ludwig Victor and the Grand Duke of Weimar were in the theater. The farewells to Sonnenttal at the station were equally hearty. The whole art world of Vienna had assembled. Frau Kaeckel, deeply affected, wept bitterly, crying out: "Oh, that I could go with you to America it was so lovely there." The artists brought with them a number of amulet charms for the departing actor, to strengthen and keep him from harm on the ocean voyage. In answer to a question as to where he would play be replied: "I play only in New York. I shall enly have sixteen days' time to give America altogether. Unfortunately I shall be able to 6ee very little of tr"? American continent, about which I am very curious." The Washington correspondent of the Commercial Gazette (good authority on some points, bat in the matter referred ta in the following extract we suggest a broad niarln to the reader) says: To an old school-boy friend of his la New York, Mr. Cleveland said taat be had no objection to legitimate awault upon him In a political way, but that he is almost abnormally sensitive upou any attack upon him personally, and particularly in the IlalDin matter. Krety paper that mentioned that matter he has the name down in his pocket-book, and his black list contains the name or every man who was instrumental in circulating that 6tory. He eaid to Mr. bprague, formerly of trie Emery Hotel, ia Cincinnati, and an old personal friend: I win never forgive the men who aided In the circulation of this scandal about me. I do not deny the allegations and never have, but they had notclne to do with my titneas or q aalltiratlous for the oiiice to which 1 have been elected," He said lurther, when speaking about the great preparations for the inauguration, "I am utterly otoosed to all thw flummery. 1 wanted to do the old Jeffeonian business, but the boys are determined to make a bis time ot It, and of course I can not iatcrlere. however, I will endeavor to make an opposite course conspicuous during my terra of oface." Tbere is no doubt about the bitterness of Mr. Cleveland toward John McLean. He (.aid to my informant- "Had the Enquirer taken a loyal course and gone on in a Democratic wav, without regard to the friendship between Watfa McLean nd Grant and Blaine. I could have easily carried Ohio." It has pone out here, and is a fact well understood, that uo man need apply for an o3i?e or fcr any consideration with the backing of the Knquirer. PERSONAL.

The important and conspicuous part the proprietors of the Sentinel took in the late campaign for President has excited the most exalted opinion of tLo Sentinel among all Democrats here. Indiana being my birth State, and having been reared to manhood in that State, I feel more proud than ever of that learned old statesman, Uncle Tom Hendricks. Like old Samson, he carried off the gates. A great many "Hoosier" Democrats live in this county. We meat and sm iie at each other in mutual crood feeling, at d say we knew eld Uncle Tom would g;t there. The glorious good work of the Sentinel has been so much on my mind that I feel that I must have the weekly edition to get the unalloyed Democracy from week to week in this county during Cleveland's admirietration.

I came to this place from Indiana in the year 1S71, and find it to be a good farming country. Can recommend it to people of Indiana who are thinking of coming West. This is a first-class grass country, equal o the famous blae grass regioa of Kentucky. We grow fine crops of corn, wheat, oats, vines and ve re table; in fart, everything of the crop kind pecaliar to this latitude. Tobacco does remarkably well here. We have taken some cf the premiums awarded at 8t. Louis. This is the meet desirable latitude for farmers in the Unittd States above the long parching suiuroersof the8outh. where fever3 and ague arefo annoying, and below the long winters of I Minnesota, Dakota and the other moTe northern latitudes, where the long winters are so severe on man and beast, and involve from six tojeight months' heavy feeding and housing. Here we have slight snows and short winters, and our stock are fed for a comparatively short time. We have a sufficiency of timber, water, prairie, rock, and not too much; good mills, churches, echools and colleges' in this county. Knox is the best county In Northea-t Missouri. Wool growing is also a good business here. No swamps or marshes make3 it very healthy for sheep. This is ose of the best, if not the very best, fruit growing countries in the United States. They ship thousands of brshels of apple? from this county to Europe. While this is all true, people from the East seeking homes on the chmp lands of the West have been skipping over this country and passiüg on to the "Great American Dfsert" of western Kansas, where they tave nothing but fiat alkali land. This will soon change. Now that the prejudice of party Tolitica, and that the purposes of the Republican party can no longer be served by the Glcbs-Demociat of St Louis, writing np its elanderous articles about this State a vast immigration will flow in to cs.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Acilon of the Senate Regarding Some of Its Eiuplojes, Tho Congressional and Legislative Apportionment Bills la the Senate. The Mrs. Edwin Mar Claim la tha Hands cf tho House Committee Communication From the Governor. The Congressional ar d Legislative apportionment bills were introduced in the Senon Saturday and made the special order for today. Senator Foulke moved that their consideration be postponed till Friday, evidently hopinz to defeat .their passage, but in this he signally, failed, i It having appeared that eome two or three employes who have cow been dischaei had drawn pay to the end cl tha session," a resolution waa introduced authorizing the Attorney General to take the necessary steps for the recovery of rll money illegally drawn by 8enate employes. From the present prcspect the bill prohibiting base-ball playing c-n Sunday will hardly be passed this Eessjon. It passed the Home eome time agol but has never been cauea up in me o?naxe. , wnetherit is intended for it to sleep the sleep that knows no making is not, of course, known, but it strikes the casual observer as looking very strongly that way. Mr. Eng'e'a bill with reference to persons who are acquitted of 'any crime on the sole ground of insanity t-as read a third Urns and passed the House. It'provides that when anv person is po acquired that fact should be set forth in tb.6 vc rlict of the jury, and tte court should, upon this finding, order him to be sent to the Insane Hospitai and kept there until further trier, without any formal insanity proceadibgs, also providicp punishment for persons who are accessory to crimes after the facL Senator Thompson's 'bill appropriating SIC.OOO to Mrs. Edwin May was read a first tirre in the House on Saturday. Representativa Gordon znaae a speech in opposition to the measure, and moved that the bill be Indefinitely postponed. ; The motion waa ili-n rererrcd to the Committee on Ways atd Means, with instructions to eiamise the State House Commi?5fioners under oath es t- the justice of the claim, and get from tr em, if possible, authorized statements of the mount of monev, if anv, due to Mrs. il8y, and report to day. In appointing a euccessor to Mr. Hullatetter on Saturday, General Manson took occasion to say that he regretted exceeding1 that he had signed the warranta for pay in advance of some of the clerks, and officers whose conduct had beenjthe subject of Inquiry. He had instructed the Secretary, Mr. Kelly, to present no pay warrant?, either for Senators or clerks for his signature, nntil the money waa absolutely dne. And Mr. Kelly had assured him that his bocks were posted every day, and that no advance warrants were made. At the opening of the Senate Saturday the Preiident ordered the clerk to read a comnunlcition from Assistant Secretary Huffstetter, in which that official tendered his resignation. It is probably unnecessary to add that the same was accepted without bebale. General Manson then announced that, lu accordance with instructions from the Democratic caucus, he would nominate Mr. Hutfstetter's successor in the person of John D. Carter, a soldier of the late war, who received a severe round in the battle at Richmond, Ky. The nomination was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. The new appointee has been a railroad and telegraph agent for a number cf years, and served one term as Auditor of Orange County. The Senate bill to regulate the public printing of the Stte came np on Saturday, and with it was read the following communication from the Governor, the bill and communication both being referred to the Committee on Printing: Gentlemen of the House: Your atteoiion Is called to the 6Ubject of pablic printing, in pajre 66 of the report of the Auditar of State lor lbsl. in relation to tte increattn cost of the State printing.

I can see no reason for printing every year the report of the 8iat Geyogist and the reports of the State Institutions for the year in which the Leialuture does not meet. They might very properly and without anv detriment be very considerably curtailed, and 1 wouil suggest the advieabillty of a law giving the Hotrd of Commissioners of Public Printing and Kinilng some discretion in determining what part of the annual report should be printed in the Interests of economy.
