Now let us have peace. The right for tbe 1 nlted State3 Marshalbipof Northern Illinois waxes hot and iitertsting. It would be some satisfaction to know who conceded that latest lie concsrning a runiura between the Secretary of War and General Sheridan. It was made "out of whole cloth," there not being a shred of truth in it. Hoy. Robert W. Miers, of Bloomingtoa, has besn appointed Judge of tbe Tenth Judicial District to fi'l the vacancy caued by the recent death of Judge Francis "Wilson. This is a first-class appointment. He stands well where he is Known professionally and in all other regards. TiiE Journal refuses to confirm the nomination of Hon. Baylets W. Hanna, Ii is not important. All cf his friends and neighbors at home, without respect of party, have indorsed him unanimously to pay nothing of the gallant Demccrecy of the country. That is more significant than the mouthings of sere htadtd republican oracs The ne?r Minister to I-lngUod. Mr. Phe'.p. made a ljjorors plea m favor ot civil ervice re orm tha other day la boston.

Giinc-Jcinx'r&t. 0:ewonid irr.agin tbat Kepabiicm editors would "s;ce very small" rpgu -ding the "Emma Mice evyindle, when the part borne by Mr. ex Minister Schenck in tbe enterprise is remembered. Mr. S;henck represented the Nation a the Coart of Bt. James with credeatia's from a Republican adminijtratiOQ ia h'.a pocket. The city of Charleston, V. Va , to-day bacomea the capital of the Sate Instead of Wheeling. The State authorities have been located at Wheeling for ten yeara past, occupying, rent free, a handsome baildlng erected by the city expressly for a temporary capitcl. This edifice now becomes Wheeling's City Hill. In 1870, by a popu'ar vote, Charleston was selected as the permanent capitol to which tbe State government should be removed May 1, 1S3. The construction of a canitol building was begun in that year, which is not yet quite completed, but siüjeiently so to receive the cflicjs. Trtz play-going American public will wish unstinted success to Mr. J. II. Ilaverly ia his return to theatrical management. No man ever strove more earnestly to furnish a deserving character of amusements and at reasonable prices. His enterprise lifted him to the control cf more theater and more professional people than any other one man baa ever been accredited with. While riding upon the high title of prosperity he was tempted into epecu'ations which cramped him later and finally resulted ia his financial overthrow. He comes to the front again in the capacity in which the country first knew him, with a large addition of experience but no abatement of energy. Success to him. Along with the march of progre s in the worthy iclences that of thieving is keeping step. In New Ycrfc the other day a thrifty scamp drew his old pint) on over a new pair he ws3 trying on ard then walked out of the store. Another artistic rogue, not quite so recently, fitted on a pair of new boots at a sbcemakers and went to the light of the door to admire their fk. He had not yet paid for them, when aou.e ore outsets strasi him in the face and ran. How natural for biai to start after his as : a"! cut and for ths tbcerr.sker tn onconrjj.e the pursuit, even following to aid his customer it. thrashing tbeglnrger. Bat the thcemaxer could not ieeo up with the chase, and eo finally returned to hli shop to await the return of hia customer. At laut accounts he was still wiitirg. The Chicago Tribune in ai article on political libel eaja:" "Notwithstanding the latitude of fret speech given to tbe press in republican Ameiic, tbe courts bare jealously guaded private character f ram assault. The sympathy cf a jury in such a case is counted upon sa surely that salts are brought against tbe newspapers every dij by spscula tic g attorneys on shares which are devoid of merit, and, contrary to the popular impression, the conductors of responsible newspapers are constantly va the alert to prevent the publication of any new which may do sua Injury or injustice to private character. In this day of active journalism sternal vigilance does not always succeed ia suppressing phatcajb construed into slander, but

newsraper publishers are fuLly advised of tha risk they run and the penalty which attends a trespass on privat individuals."

Sat3 tbe Paris Figaro of April 15: "We must confess and we do so with pleasure that the relations between the United States and France tend to grow better, on this side of the Atlantic, since the adveat of the Demcritic psrtyto power." IT 13 BRAVERY. To the I ditor of the ? eatice1. : 8ir Why do the Repub.len paper keop ca harping over slavery, rebellion and war tntns Kttled over twenty years acoT Is there aay moaey ia It to then, or Co they dal: !or !ua ? JndiAnapo'L, April GO. Peihars 'Ex-Baldier" has hear! an old saw that "every man mnat eat a peck of dirt during life." Perhaps, too, every man must do a certain amount of fighting during life. "Ex-Soldier" haviegcose his share in tbe period of 1S01 5, dcej not need to do mora. But he should remember that the Republican papers, having avoided the front in those days, muat fight now or fall short of!thetr quota. It Is safe to say that S3 a rule the red-hot Republicm papers are cocdacted or edited by me a who, like Job's war horse, smelled the battle afar cfl. The men who bora the brunt of the fight for the Union are now the conservative men. It is only the invisibles in the war wha are the invlncibles now in peace. These loud-mouthed Rspublican hew gsgj did eo fighting, and would not had the fate of the Union depended upon their fighting. "Barking dogs never bite" is a true adage, and 30 proven by the blowhards referred to. Givenaixan whose pea or tongue is continuously righting uroa the lines of the war, and whether he b9 ot the North or South, he is apt to have a record of hatiDg avoided battle. And ths greater the valor cf his words now, the more timid wa3 his arm then. If this country were involved in war to morrow these spouting agitationista over the war cf the rebellion would now, as then, leave the lighting to the quiet, sturdy, unpretentious men who spcai more by actions than word. The brave men, both of the North and the South m?n of the stripe of IT. 8. Grant and R.E. Le when the war ws over ceased fighting; it was the "bomb proofs'' of bath slde3 that "ot their dander up" after the conflict was ended. The Northern soldier and tb.9 Southern soldier cf twenty years ago can meet and talk, or can speak and write, without raking up, sententiously, the itsues and even's in which they were pitted against one another. No; it is not for fun, nor altogether for money, that the Jimb!aineitic papers now fight. It is out of pur and unadulterated bravery but a bravpry which sheds iuk a ore copiou?lv thau it ever shed blood. SPIRITUALISM OS TRIAL. Over in St. Louis a co?l trial is on ia the Court of Criminal Correction, in which Din't take a conrpicnous part. The defendants are one George Miller and his wifa. Now sue1) statement of a trial In an Indianapolis court at present would presuppose that Georg9 Miller and wife were running a dram shop and bad b?en detected by trie Metropolitan po'.ics tellicg pirituoas drinks sub.tquent to the striking of tbe elsvonth hour, at night, by the Court-house clock. But the S . Louis defendants are not arraigned for that class of spirituous ofTenae. Tbe charge against them J3 "fraud," and consists of havicg obtained from the two prosecutors $l.C-0 entracc9 fee to witness a ance, at which Miller and wife professed that as mediums th?y would produce to the prosecutors materialized spirits of friends of the latter. It appears that the Millers had been in the eeance bonne's for some time, and had succeeded in raising the hair and the dollars of a considerable number of persona possessed cf a desire to communicate iwith departed spirit?. It may be said that most aea prefer comoiunication with ypirits red with lif?; but, then, tas'es difler. Amoug th st. Louisnas desiring to meet ?pooks were two, named respectively Jobrfon and Madden, ad these attended a gbctt show given by the Millers It anpe rs that Johnson and Maddan wer not po33e3sed cf that depth of faith some men appear to have in spirits even bibulous spirit?. At any rale, they left th3 seance questioning the supernatural chai acter of what they had s?en, felt and heard. So joining two others with taem, and fillirg their pockets with parlor matches, they purchased tickets to another cd the Millers' benefits. Mrs. Miller went into tbe cabloet, and, ot course, into a trance. Before turning out the lights, Mr. Miller announced that tbe spirits that would come forth would bs real flesh and blood aid boner, like unto the auditors, bjit that it would b dangerous to capture cr hold them, as in eeyeral cases under these circumstances tbe mediums had died or been badly hurt. When a soirir, said to be that ot Mr. Madden'a dead brother, came forth from tbe cabiret, Mr. Madden seized it. At a signal from him his friendj struck ma'chea. Mr. Madden tcod reTealc j, witk an arm gnagly clasping the waist, not of hi3 deceassd broth er, but of ths live Mr3 Miller the e&roe who, accoidirjg to tha prcäramme, should bave been in the cabinet aid in a trance. Her treses, which were loosed, wore parted at tbe back and drawn on either side of her ne:k and chin, in imitation of whiskers. The protending epirit of tbe deceastd brother, when ihe light was made, cried out, "What will I do? Oh, please let go of me! ' Bat the ami of tbe live brother still clung firmly about the taper waist. The natura! thing for the male Miller, under tbe circumstances, won d appear to be to bav gone to the rescue of hia wife's waist, but instesi or this ha rah.8l toward the cabinet. Bat a strong arm overturned him on the way, while another of th? party picked op from the floor of the cabioet a long, white linen rooe, a piece of musouito netting and a blue polonaise. The ceanca was ended, but Johnson and MadJea opened another in tha Criminal Court room, in which they testified, a!oue with other?, to the facts resiled, and ihd Millers may hive

to materialize inside a lock-up. At this St, Louiaans will be g!sd. They will favor a limit to the embodiment of spirits. Even tha "head" which many of them find In their spirits ii often troublesome of mornintra; they will object to a waist biing added.

INOCULATED FOR CÜOLERA. Ths correspondent of theNew York Herald, cow in Spain investigating the reports of the cholera, hal hicsalf inoculated with tbe germs of the disease bafore leaving Valencia hut Tuesday. He gives the result of the ex. periment by cable to the Hera!d of Wednesday. He ays: "The injection was given me in both arrii3, on the back part, between the elbow and tbe upper muscle. A small syringe with a point like a needle was used, penetrating subentaneously about hall an inch. After an hour I began to feel considerable pain about the ptral region, the injection causing mucular agitation, the pain exterdin to the palms of the hands. In two hours my temperature rose to fever heat. This was followed by clammy hands, Isssituda and pains in the legs. In four henrs my arms became very painful, witn a Sensation as though they had been eaverely bruised. After this tbe activity of the vaccise subsided, but the arms grew very stiff, so that I could ecarcsiy lift them. Later on I began to experience nausea, accompanied by a dull headache, while the pam in the arms spread lo the muscles ot the back I went to btd and slept well. Many who have submitted to the test, however, are troubled with sleeplessness. I awoke with a severe headache, which remains. Th's dispatch is sent off twenty-eight hours after my inoculation. The pericd during which symptoms continue i?, I am informed, forty-eight hours." Before inoculation, tbe physician, Dr. Ferran, gave a lecture to 150 Spanish doctor?, illustrating hlslecture with mlcrojcopic ilinttrations. Eighteen of the physicians and others. Including the Herald correspondent, were then inoculated with the germs which he cultivated in a broth of mutton or beef. This he claims will develop in tha system symptoms of cholera. A single incculaticn gives immunity from cholera contagion for a per oJ of three months, but a second inoculation is lequired within the week in order to make sure of the efficacy of the tystem for logger periods. As the correspondent sent nis dispatch twenty-eight hours after the experiment and give3 the symptoms up to that period, it would be interesting to know tbe state of his body at the end of forty eiht hours, the time whoa th symptoms eid. He will probably zeni another cable mes&sfoon. TRE .NEW YOUK DEMOCRACY Nothing is so caatic to the opposition and itsor;:sLs as to give out the idea that the New York Democracy are all orn np into shnda and patches. To know that Tammany :s dhsat'.fied, and that Mr. John Kelly has the dumps, ;s snllicieut to iive them tremors of the most dlUhlful 9ort, Mr. John Tre&nor. of Nw York, who was a?cti:ed with the National Democratic Committee during he last campaign, was in Washington a day cr two ago and sums up all this talk about the New York Democracy a3 follows: "I have mingled with the leading men of the several factions of New York, and there is almost unanimity of expression in favor of the administration. I have talked with the most prominent Tammany men. I have had numerous conversations with SherilF Davidson, who represents Irving Hall, and I have heard the county Democracy leaders express themselves. All of them are delighted with the condact of the administration so far. There is more harmony, more cordial party feeling, within the Democratic party of New Ycrk now than ever, and it is all owing to the gco l tense of the President and his Cabinet. Why, Vhe administration ia but eight weeks old, and our folks have not expected that within that short time everything could be done. I give you my word there Is no dissalisfao: on among New York Democrat's. I have heard more criticism of the administration the few hours I have been in Waihingtoa from men who are disappointed about otlice than bas been uttered by all the Democrats of New York. Our folks think the administration is doiog just right." Tbia opinion should be satisfactory oa the point. No one appreciates the vane of harmony among tbe New York Democracy oo highly as Mr. Cleveland, and wa may be. sure that he will doallin tis power to preserve the utmost good feelingin that direction. A more important matter for t'ie Republicans to consider is how to persuade cr drive back into their ranks the thousands of theso who ttrayed from tbe Republican party bccusa cf the nomination of Mr. B'iioe. Tn referring to Mr. Tendleton and the re cant banquet tendered him in New York the Hrald,of that city, 537s: "Exactly vihy a most hearty dinDer should be given to these about to cros tha ocean is not known, bat Mr. Pendleton shculd have rause for remembering the reception accoided to him laetnuht. It is as the scilve advocate cf the civil tervica law that be js bestTcnown, but in Garmay his sphere of activity will ba very different. Some of his predecessors have not found their positions cgreeable, but Mr. Pendleton has an opportunity to prove bis diplomatic capacity by avoiding that unfortunate difference of opinion which, when recognized, unfits a Minister for his plice. May Mr. Pendleton on hU return ba deemed worthy of another dinner!" Referring to Senator Vooihees the eminent correspoidenl, Ben Parley Poore, eays: Dan Voorhees, 'tha tall nyctnore of tie Wabfub." as t w&g tailed by In-Main ooUtlclmi, wa the ab!ot Democrat on the dor ot tne Uou te of Rerrc?f ntatlres during th war an object of admiration stuon bin political frieads nd of aversion atuonz bi political opponents. Personally te was a fivcrtte on both side of the House. Ween Ntne of tho prominent representatives would rte to ppeat. their hearer would hava to lis'eu tttentively all the war threuta to find out which aide tbey were on. aud even then It might not bars been ev to have told. Bat wbea Vaorboea got up, the first sentence he uttered was a key to aa that followed. Lie never took middle ground

In anything. Iiis forU was denunciation of his opponents, aud he always used Webster'a heaviest artillery to tear down the enemy's fortification. Others defended Democratic principles by eulojizice Andrew Jackson and palliating tns faults and folblea of James Buchanan, but Voorhees did It by anathematizing: Wendell Phillips and exaostns the sins and thortcominssof the Republican party. The Philadelphia Tress says: Colcnel Marat LTaUiead.of the esteemed Cincinnati Commercial Uaze;te. aav ba never was in a party eaucus ia hii life. The Colonel doesa't anow the fun he has rnLssed.

PERSONALS. Päesiuest Cleveland is said to be a model listener while at church, never troubling himself about the appearance of late comera. Des. Yon HAr.nr.GGnn and Taulitschke, the American explorers of Africa, have been heard from under date of March 21. They were then at Z?ila, on their homeward route. Dos Cameron is now luxuriating in his Arizona ranch, waere he proposes to pa?s a few weeks in hunting, aid will then go to Los Ange!e3 for the rest of the summer and the summer's rest. Mrs. Livermore eays in a recent letter that Wendell Phillips burned a number of promissory notes the night before he died, given by people whom he did not want his executors to proaecuie. R. H. Newell, better known as Orpheus C. Kerr, who as a wiiter was once very popular, is now broken down, old and despondent. His family has cant hioi off and he is obliged to see his manuscript, once so esgerly eought for, either coldly rejected or mutilated beyond recognition. The letter written by John G. Whittier a man of peace in praise of Chinese Gorion a man of war called forth some few criticisms of tbe Friend's consistency. Mr. Whittier now says regarding it: "It was written hastily, and it expresses my enthusiastic admiration without the qualifying expression of my peaco principles; and I do not wonder that it I3 regarded as a little Inconsistent oa my part. Gordon was no Quaker, but he was a ncble, generous, selfsacrificing man. I would not give any approval of war, wbich to me is nioat abhorrent; but Gordon was greater than a soldier. He never lifted his hand for fame; be despised the glory and pomp of the world; he loved humanity regardless of sect, race or olcr; and hia errand to Khartoum was one of peace to save lite rather than destroy it." sp 1 Kir or thk irA.Tt3 ritnss. It don't seem to be any trouble 1st General Logan to get 100 votes in tbe Illinois Legislature, but a great deal of troubla to get 101. Intbiscaso one man is greater than 100. Hocser S:ate. Wk would like to know what the Republicans expect of Mr. Cleveland? Da they rclly expect to bo retained in otfice by the hand of one thy n alinced aud abased in the most fehaniefal uinuner possible? Do they have the idea for ona moment that the heart of PiOjideot Cloveiar.d is a forgiving heart when it would resnit to the expense cf hi3 politic! and warmett friends?

The prospects, tbertfore, are good fcr an abundant crop of cats and corn. Tba fruit crop will in all probability be an abundant one, and we ran fee no reason why this thould not ba prosperous year for the farmers. North Vernoa Sun. It is amusing to notice the great and endearing love which the Republicans have for civil service reform. They Insist that Republicans must all be retained in odice until they sUal something or prove highly inefficient. Under a Republican administration no Democrat was allowed to hold crlice, but now, under a Democratic administration, tbe Republicans all want to remain. Beautiful consistency ! Frankfort Crecent. The Journal's telegraphic page yesterday contained a notable sign of the time?. One column detailed tha miseries and perplexities Of tbe European powers and the other contained a report cf tbe celebration of General Grant's birthday by ex Confederate soldiers in Georgia. The one was the story ot a gnat nation brotherly and mild, the other that cf a hemisphere divided and distraught. Happy are we who liv-s on this side of tbe Occident in this jear of grace 15S3. Lafajette Journal. Farmers are generally much encouragsd over the prospects of the wheat crop since the rain a few days ago. The roots have pressed down into the foil, and entire fields, which looked to bo dead, show wonderful signs of life. Farmers who were talking of plowing up tbeir wheat fields bave mostiy abandoned that idea, and are now confident, unlets accidents shculd befall it, that we will have an average harvest. The prediction is based on the opinion of prominent farmers thronghiui tbe county. Michigan City Dispatch.

Guef.scastle, Ind , April 30. The Indianapolis Times of to day contains ths following: "Ihe Postmaster at Greencastle is a di&ciple of Bob Ingersoil, and yet he refussa to take a Sunday mail. As ths mails ara carried directly through that city on Sanday, and a Iarga class cf citizens desire their mal on Sunday, his conduct needs aa' explanation." In reply to the above MrNeff, the present Postmaster, siya that he has ao

orders from the PostofHce Department to keep tbe office open on Sunday, but has done so for one hour each Eabbata since he bas been in office; that aa regards a large class of citizeas desiring their mail on the Sabbath he has heard no such expression, but, on the contrary, most of the business men and the better class of citizens oppose the idea of keeping the olhcs open on Sanday; and no one has yet spDken to him In favor of keeping the ollioe open on the Sabbath. In reply to the first part of the article he pronounces that a "base falsehood," and will refer that matter to his neighbors.

MURDEB AND BOBBERY. A Terrible Tragedy Enacted on a L , IX. A. and C. Train. Kew3 reached the city yesterday morning of a terrible crime committed on an L., N. A. and C. train, near Harrodsburg, this State, shortly after 11 o'clock of tha night before. The train was a through express from Louisville to Chicsg?, and wsj in charge of Conductor Chamber, with Peter Weber, of New Albany, baggage master, and George Davi?, cf Louisville, express messenger. It appears that Weber and Davi9 were lying upon their train chests asleep, when the former was awakensd by a heavy blow npon the head, and he saw a man struggling with Davis, whose faca was covered with blood. Weber was toa badly injured to afford his companion aay assistance. While they were struggling Divis loosened one arm and succeeded in drawing his revolver, but only to have it wrejted from him by the robber, who shot him, and he fell to the floor. Under threat of instant death Weber was made to take the keys from the messenger's pocket and open tbe safe, and the man took from it everything whica he supposed to be of value. He then tamed upon Weber, pointed tbe pistol directly at his head and rirtd. tbe bullet striking near the temple and making a severe wound. As the man left the car Weber pniled the bell-cord, aud es the speed ot the train slackened he walked back and informed the passengers ef what had occurred. The passengers entered tho baggage car and found Davis unconscious and apparently mortally wounded. From the result of his injuries Davis died yesterday rooming at Bloomington, where he and Weber were left when the train reached that place. Weber's wounds are not thought to be fatal, though seriocs enough to require the most careful attention. Trie murderer is described as a tall, muscular man, aooat thirty five years of age, Illy dre-esd, with a light, bristliug mustache. II is supnos?d to hava secured between 1 0o0 and r$üÜU.

Et. Loris, April 30. Notwithstanding tbe most unfavorable weather, fully 7,000 people witnessed the opening of the League a Jason here to-day. It raluad last night and today until about an hour before the tms of calling the game, and the grounds wen heavy and slippery, and very unfavorable to good playing. Sweeney's pitching and tha bitting of Lewia won toe day fcr the horns team. In the first inning, a base on balls givea Dunlap, a steal, hits by Shaferand Lewis, and a sacrifice by Sreeney, yiel3ed two runs for St. Louis.
