Marion Moore for Postmaster at P.eisanton, Ktnsas, was rejected by the Senate ycderday. What is the matter with G.Marion? Peraaps he does not write his name to sait the Senate. It suggests the "denationalized snob" of the State Department of the la'e administration. It was rumored m Wasnington yesterday that the nomination of Alexander R.

The President said that he had been faying eloee attention to the developments in the case of tne accused men. and that he would continue to do so until the tr'a' shall be ended.

Mr. Meany was farther assure! that Mr. Phelpe. our new Minister to England, would protect the rights of the accused. The interview with Mr. Bsjard was long and satisfactory.

POSTMASTER PEARSON d APPOINTMENT. There is a general feeling of satisfaction ex ji eased by tbe New York papers over the reappointment of Postmaster Pearson. The Tribune says: ' It satisfies the public bectuse it is a good thine in itself. The President is well aware that the Republicans will not find fault if he recognizes the eminent fitness or worth of one or a great many of the capable men who now make the public service efficient and fa thful. At present this is to be said in his favor, that he has reappointed one out of the many Republican officials whose unquestioned and superior fitness renders their retention in office the clear duty of a President who means o impiove and not degrade tbe public service. For so much, thaaks " The Time.', which, with the Evening Poet, had for ten days previously been keeping up a sharp fire upon the I'iesident lest he "were about to prove recreant to ail his past record and pnl!ic professions,' ' thus comments: "The reappointment of Mr. Pearson to be Postmaster of New York is a good act done in tbe best possible manner. It fixes the tone and declares the standard of President Cleveland s administration in a way and to a degree that no otiter act has done and hardly auy other could do. It has been done deliberately and leaves no doubt of the firmness of the principles by which the President was guided, and It is of a nature to give an unmistakable impression of what those principles are.'' The Herald eavs the President "calmly did his duty. That duty was, before deciding to reappoint Mr. I varson or to name his successor, to ascertain how the poetefhee had been managed. Those who cried out for Mr. Pearson's reappointment did so on the ground that he had been conspicuously faithful to the civil service reform law. But it was plainly the duty of the President and the Postmaster General to ascertain also that he had managed the postofiie efficiently, economically and honestiy. If it had been proved that he bad not done this, his devotion to the civil service law could not and ought not to have secured his reappointment We congratulate Mr. Pearson not enly on his reappointment but much more on the manner of it. The President and Postmaster General have, after a scrutiny of the New York Postoffice mansgement, concluded that they are ready to trust Mr. Pearson in this vsry important place; thst they find he has doae well and is do ng well so well that, having regard to the efficiency of tbe public eervlce and the large and varied interests involved, acd also to their awn responsibility to the pnblic for those interests, they do not thin a change advisable. That decision is one of which Mr. Pearson may be justly proud. "We congratulate, also, tbe President on tnis act, which will show the country that neither the clamors cf hungry politicans nor tbe outcries and bluster of some narrowminded friends of civil service reform can move him from his plain duty to the country." Such reflections of the press of ths metropolis show the full drift of public opinion at his own home of the reappointment of Mr. Pearson as Postmaster. The country a large, except a law dwappoin ed efficeorckeis, co dially indorse this appointment, ai d ui ite with the Herald in congratulating Mr. ( leveland upon the wisdom and justice of this step. The conservative Republicans of New York and Brooklyn were an imrr.ee se factor in tbe e'ection of Mr. Clevelau4. Without them New York State would have been overwhelmingly Republican. That the "mugwump" saved this Nation from a four years siege of Blaine administration is a 'act that should not re lost sight of, and that this new wing of the Democratic party are entitled to recognition by the administration in the selecting of officers for public plsces is equally evident. In no place could such recognition be shown so justly as in those cities where the mugwump element was mod numerous, and in no person more fittingly than the appointment of Mr. Pearson a conservative Republican, an efficient and faithful officer, an acceptable man to the basiness men and .citizens gei erally of New York. THE WHITE CROSS ABMT. This new brotherhood held their inang i ral meeting in New York last Monday evening, and organized a new crusade in the interest of virtue and purity. Young men crowded the hall to its fullest capacity. Rev. Dr. De Costa, the first prominent clergyman who has taken np the White Cross movement in this country, explained its object in an opening address. He said that the platform of this society consisted of five planks. Firstly, to treat all women with respect, and endeavor to protect them from wrong and degradation. Secondly, to strive to pat down all indecent language and coarse jests. Tjirdiy, to maintain the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women. Fourth, to endeavor to spread these principles among those around as, oar associates and ' younger brothers." Fifth, to use every possible means to fulfill the command "keep thyself pure." The speaker dwelt at some length upon each plank, and was followed by others who made short addresses. The interest manifested by those present was intense, and resalted in tbe signing of the purity pledge by over 400 persons. This is a revival of chivalry on a new and improved plan, as in it bloodshed will not be required for oarrying oat the purpose intended. Chivalry Of this kind should be

equired by all young men in Christend m, whether members of the White Cross Army r not, and if that or sny other movement can elevate tha young manhood and joung womanhood of America to a higher plane of purity in thought and in action, and impel them to work mutually to this end, then will we bs nearer the millennium than ever before in the world's history. "Keep thysslf pure" Ii religion crystalized. If that is followed salvation la accomplished. We should be glai to see such a movement assume the proportions of a tidal wave, provided there is real good intended. Bat if it is another Salvation Army scheme at the bottom, there is no rco:u for a second enterprise of that kind in this country. We shall wa cb the progress of the Wh.te Cross Army wiili an interest excited by hope, doubt and curiotity.

THE ANGLO-RUSSIAN DIFFICULTY Appearances decidedly indicate that tha British i.ion and Russian Bear will lie down again in peace, after having had a little scene of rear and growl for a few days that seemed for tbe time to indicate fight. England is rot ready for the fray nor dies Kassie quite feel like contending with the power which has maintained a supremacy for so many years tbe wor.d over, on land and sea. The day ha one by when nations feel like taking up arms with the baste of former year?. It is or.e of the signs of civlliition's true advancement when the eftairs of state and diplomacy are settled by amicable methods Tbe progress rf joiitical economy has been rapid, and each year its teachings make more manifest the trnth that the tongue and pen are "mightUr than tbe iword," while they bsve the edvantage of being vastly cheaper. While tee disappearance of the war cloud in Europe is a wet blanket to many Americans who had expected to profit by the struggle there, vet do the majority of us rejoice over the prospect of a speedy solution of the Afghan question without resort to arms. The shedding ot blood is always to be deplored, and were Eogland and Bonis to become involved in war, all Europe woald certainly be gradually drawn into it, and the whole Continent wonld be shaken up ai it perhaps never was, even in Bonaparte's tima Any question of European policy can be settled by a friendly council of tbe several powers, and such a resort to arbitration should be always earnestly attempted ere ;he clash of srma be resorted to. We acknowledge the receipt of a note from Postmaster Wilder an thanking the Sentinel for the kindy treatment exteEded him by this paper dnricg his term, now about to clcse. Aside from a high personal regard that we bear the Postmaster, we wish to give witness to the admirable management of the office under his administration. A daily paper can be frequently seriously embarrassed by loose and careless handling of its mail matter. A few hours' delay of a letter or paper may not interfere seriously with the average business man's affairs, while it frequently produces quite a commotion, and sometimes an irreparable injury, in a newspaper sanctum. In the matter of its exchanges, a newspaper demands them promptly upon their arrival. Midnight or 1 or 2 o'clock In the morning is an important hour with the editor. Delays and carelessness at the Postoffice are particularly prolific of bad results at the hours named. To the importance of these matters referred to and many others, the Sentinel has always found Mr. Wildman keenly alive, our relations and intercourse have been kind and pleasant, and we take pleasure in placing on record a favorable opinion of Mr. W . Jinan s management of the Postoffice. Ix referring to the re appointment of Postmaster Pearson, of New York, the Times, of that citv, says: "Tbe only serious obstacle to the admirable act of Mr. Cleveland has been the existence of wholly unfounded charges against Mr Pearson in ths records of the department at Washington. It is hu miliating to know that it was under a Repnbl'csn administration that an able and faithful officer was exposed, witn no adequate opportunity for defense, to malicious attacks upon his character; but it is a matter of no small congratulation that this gross wrong, inspired by the spoil-men, is wiped out by the loyal representative of reform. The President, without regard to any narrow interests and with singleness of devotion to sound principles, has in every way, by this appointment, strengthened the confidence of all reasonable citizens in him and in the cause he represents " Thk Washington correspondent of tha Chicago Tribune sends that paper an interview with General Beale. The latter sa I saw aim once while at a white-beat of vexation in the library at the White Houe put personal prejudices and wishes aside and do n; du;y without Question. He had been abused and slandered by a certain per con to such an extent t&at ne could only recognize blm as a personal and hitter enemy. The question arose whether that person should be nominated to the Benae or not for a i eel t ion. 1 knew alt the circumstance? and said ro General Grant: "What are you goine to do about U7" "Do about it ."' be replied "I will send bis name to the Senate. He has deserved his P! ointment by bis services to hts country, and n personal ill-feeling on my part shall prevent bis obtaining what be deserves." He sat down aid signed tbe nomination and it was sen' .o the at nu at oLce. He was eenerons In the extreme. We find the following in yesterday's Jou nal: To the Editor of tbe Indianapolis Journal: What was President Cleveland's plurality over Hon. I G B.aiue A Constant Readkr.

Jvdoe Wilson, the aew Senator from Maryland, a dry humorist, ha9 bought two doorbells to send to his colleague, Mr. Gorman. It is said that constant tugging at the Gorman bell knob has destroyed the tone of that bell and that when Higgins cs'li the bell refuses t do duty at all. As for Jndge Wilson, he is the man around tbe corner whom the whole Eastern Shore, from Cecil to Worcester, wants to see. Ben Perlky Poolk, the veteran Washington correspondent, says: "Never during the fifty odd years that I have personally known Washington and the successive administrations have I seen a new President take the helm so promptly und ao efficiently as the 'man of destiny' from Buffalo has. General Jacksoa had to reconstruct his Cabinet before he was msstfr of tbe situation as Presioi nt Cleveland alien Jy is." American heires-sa stetn to have a penchant for Italian ncbiemeu.

The Prince shook bis head. "Of Joseph, then?" Again the Prince expressed a negative. "Oh! I remember now," said Lincoln, "of Jerome, of course." He turned to Seward: "This Bjnapirte family history is eo mixed that it's Impossible to say with certainty which is the father of any one of them." The Chicago Tribune says: The strongest point made by tbe Democrats in the late Presidential campaign was tbe outcry fur a "cbauge." The Republican pry, they said, had been in power too Ions. The mouey should be counted. Tbe departments should be overhauled. New blood should be injected into tue sruries of the Government .

Doctor Doug In says There ttaa Been m Decided Improvement All Day. New York April Du ring the day, from early morning, scores of persons kept walking to and fro on Sixty sixth street, between Fifth and Malison avenuts. Occasionally lix or seven wonld congregate just opp ite General Grant's residence and trsze upon tha ecand-story windows, where the Geaeral's room is located. Two policemen disponed ail such githeii in short order, and the drivers of wagons and carriages, while on that block, were called upon to walk their horses. General Badeau came from the sickr-oom shortly after noon, and wlked toward Madison avenue. He said in reply to an inquiry, "General G a it is very low, and is gradually sinking. He will probably die to-morrow morning.' At 12 o clock two gentlemen drove up to the houe in a light carriage; one of them entered ihe boote and remained for about five mir utes. He said tbat tbe General had expectorated quite freely and felt relieved. Kev. Dr. Newman visited tbe General at 1 o'clock and reu ttned with the patient for over an hour. Wnen h left the sick room he stid to a reporter "The Generale condition is about lbs stine. He U resting easy. He ccn verses nee y. and enunciates distinctly. Hia mind a clear and uuciouded.

The (:30 p.m. bulletin of Dr. Douglas said "The General has just had his throat attended to at his own request, which gave an opportunity to examine it closely. Taere is no il crease of ulceration, and the parts are Dot so angry in color as a week ago. He hes the appearance of one refreshed by good s'eep. There has been a decided imi,rcvenient all day to day. At one time he laid, I am not suffering now.' In other respect tbe report is the same." At :'0 General Grant took his own temLeralure and timed bis pulse b-?ats by nis stop watcb. He has pargled his throat and feels comfortable and cheerful. He has aked for tbe presence of tne members of his axily fiat he may enjoy their conversation. His general improvement continue. Hh pulse is 80 and of fair volume. He is not suffering any pain. About 8:30 p m. General Grant intimated to Dr. thrady that he thought he would like to take his own temperature and also see how bis pulse was. Dr. 8nrady gave him the thermometer. The General put it in bis mouth and kept it there about live minutes. The General a!so set his stop-watch and placed it in bis lap and put his scond finger on his puise. At one time the watch seemed about to slip to tbe Moor, but thri Geuerai retained the thermometer in his month Nevertbe e s the General was alls to tut e bis own temperature and record nis pulte nd Jthh feat was regarded by Dr. eShrady a- indicating that his intel:ctil perceptions were clear.

Mrs. Grant, &j a eartorie aud teverai other members of the family were about the sick man's bdsioe. Dr. Newman and ox-Senator CoatTee were also present. Dr. Shrady regarded the ability of General Grant to exercise his mental faculty at tne same time as very hopWnl, and was quite sanguine at that hour that General Grant would pass a comparatively easy night. Cyrus W. Field called about 9:Vk Mr. Field said: "He (Grant) is a man of wonderful vitality. Despite his low condition he is able to walk across tbe room." Colonel Fred Grant made a visit to the drug store in Dr. Shrady's carrisge. Bulletin 10 30 p. m.

He visited tbe General's rcom, where he remained until nearly 10 o'clock. Ha told a reporter that General Grant was inclined to be talkative, but was discouraged by Dr. Shrady. Mr. Klkmb' opinion is tbat the Geueral's mind is perfectly clear, and his appefe rar re about tbe same as a week h o. filkina informed the General he had received dispatches from prominent men all over the country asking for news of his condition. General Grant, who was sitting iu a .'.r. e arm chair, answered, "Yes, I understood so." Just before Elkins left tbe Ger eral asked for something to eat.
