Think of the racket they would make over ft President. Victor 'Hugo's obituaries eeem to have been premature. Paris telegrams at this writing say that he still live. It is now thought tnt sixteen or seventeen live! were lest In the fire at Cincinnati yesterday. The details of the horrible affair are published in onr telegraph columns. Toe new Japanese baby that was born the other day at the Legation in "Washington is to be namsd after the President. If there is no objection on the part of the organs it will be taken by consent. The success of Logan mates him conspicuous for the next Republican nomination lor the Presidency. We hope nothing will disturb the present conditions if they will lead to his nomination. It will suit the Democracy t3 a dot. Let U3 have Logan and Blaine the old ticket tail first. T$s Yashington correspondents have glcen so many versions of the alleged rupture between the President and Senator Blackburn that it is difficult to define juit how the affair stands. The Senator cuts the knr.t, however, very deftly by declaring that the'e Is no misunderstanding between himself and the President, and gives a very hard hint that some of the reporters have been lying about the matter. Quite likely. it row that the Persian mission may again be vacant, we trast that some goodish Republican will bs sent there, if the present incj imbent is to be ousted. It is understood ihtjjit is a mere protectorate of Christian missionaries, as the Republican organs say. We corjld place onr hands on several members of fhe "g. o. p." who could fill the bill to a dtt' Dorsey Is cut of a job, so is Bob Ingexüoli ditto Brady. How would Chevalier Hostend do, or the editor of the Chicago KeVa or Tribune? These are all sturdy Republicans. J;itn H. Kinney, formerly Tostniaster at Shellorr. Pa., has been lound guilty of embezzlement. Tae Grand Jury of the Criminal court at Wash Inj on. D. C, b&s returned five new Indictments spAast O. A. Wbittaker and six against John W. Drur and Daniel Carrlg&n for presenting false vol? bers on the .Navy Department. These embezzlements and frauds were all co remitted under Republican administrations. Similar matters are being uncovered froiji day to day, and yet we find Republican pikers publishing statements that nothing wrjng has been discovered by the new administration; every cent has been satisfactorily accounted for, and they demand a clear leclipt setting forth the honesty and integxlt J of Republican officials. "Why," they ex aim, "did you fellows not count the mcjiey in the Treasury, and did you find a peijny missing?" Notwithstanding this, the olfirascallty leaks out every day or two. jiErar.RiNo to Hon. Bayless W. Hanna's aftgirs, a Washington special of the 20th 883$!: "Although official announcement has noj yet been made it was learned that Hon. Bsjlesa W. Hanna, of Indiana, has suoceikied in his efforts, and will go to the Argentine Republic as Minister instead of to Pejriia, He had a long interview with Eecxe'Ary Bayard and the latter eaid that he writ willing to sanction the change, proved the President did not object, Jc-ige Hanna tben laid the matter before the President, and the latter eaid that whatever 21 Bayard desired in tha premises would an; him. Judge Hanna is much pleased ovftr the new arrangement. The salary of ibjj Minister to the Argentine Republic is laier, and the mission the more pleasant of th J two. Besides the journey is a comparatively short and pleasant one." z ft ere is a Jewish opinion on the new version of Ice Old Testament. The Jewish Advocate kA: "A large company of Christian clergyman in this country and another in England hz&z been engaged for fifteen years in the preparation of this book, and we are now to a the result of their joint labors. The

object cl making this revision or new transla&on appears to be to obtain a closer and urp exact rendering of the original, and incidentally to modernize the book by the tujptitution of modern words for 839ia which have become obsolete civ: 3 the version now In usa was pre pred, come 250 years ago. It is stated that th ravfesra have examined carefully every catUnce of the book with the view of corletting erron of translation, and that, in crcr to insure perfect accuracy, they have dijjcntly compared covers! of the meat an cljat copies in existence. Emphasis has Ca circa to tho fret that tea roTkcrsara ccj all cf ens creed, almcct every taction of tii Pretext wing ot ths ChrUUaa Church Pra3 represented. That provision was wise, i

I fcr a creed very stubbornly held is liable to

effect the Impartiality of judges In a matter vitally affecting the basis of creed. Bat it Is etrrnge that it accuracy was the object principally desired, no Roman Catholic Church was invited to assist, and still more remarkable that in translating a book, the original of which was written in Hobrew. by Jewish poets and seers, no invitation was extended to a Jewish scholar, who surely might have been expected to have superior qualifications for the work.' GRANT'S CIVIL HISTORY, It is announced that General Grant, on the completion of his war history, will write a history of the men with whom he was associated during his civil administration. The people of this country have taken much interest In Ora it'e military history and have lcoked forward with pleasure to the result of bis labors in writing it. His participation in the great war of the Nation's history'as the central figure ot it has made his remin. iecencts thereof a matter of deep interest. Rut as to tho history ot his civil regime and the men connected therewith, it is hoped that may never bs written. The people of the United States desire that the chronicles of that period be, as nearly as may be, left altogether out of the history of the country. Walking up Pennsylvania avenue in Washington City one tees the bread street covered with a costly pivement which extends in great profusion up the alleys and side streets. This paving was done by Boss SheppaTd, and is a constant reminder of the extravagance of that era. It was to be hoped that by the time these pavements had disappeared the memory of Boss Sheppard and the rings connected with himandtbe administration had perished. There never has been in this country, and probably in no other, such utter demoralization in the public service as then prevailed. There was among the public servants a contagion of peculation, bribery, extravagance, and all other kinds of corruption. The Wall street sharks moved around the the portals of the National Treasury concocting and executing schemes to defraud the people. The spirits who governed the Nation's finances were hand in glove with these vampires. The whisky ring grasped hands all around the country, and extended their circle up to the very doors of the White House. Babcock not only, farmed out and fold post traderships to the highest bidder, but united with the swindlers in cheating the poor shiftless Indians. Robeson was busy unlawfully disposing otour piece of a navy. These are but a few of the acts of official perfidy which were developed and laid bare. The amount of roguery which then flourished, which was never exposed, may well be supposed to have been exceedingly great, for there were syndicates, corporations, partnerships and individuals, all devising rascally schemes to defraud the Government. They grew by what they fed on, waxed fat with success, through the assistance and connivance of those in high places. However, great the much-complained of malaria arising from the Potomac fiats, it wai by no means as great as the malaria of dishonesty which then hung around the Executive Mansion, and which has continued to infect that locality until the people planted that Democratic Eucalyptus tree there, Grover Cleveland, who has dispelled it and cleared up the atmosphere. The silent General was a great success as a military leader, and the people are proud of that record; but as a civil leader he was a failure, and those around him made his administration a reproach. It was a period when the official stench that arose was so great that it was eaid the man in the moon held his nose as he sailed over Washington, General Grant may write his military history, and the people will honor it as they honor him for there achievements. But for his own sake they want none of his civil history. A veracious history of it will cast a shadow over an otherwise glorious name. "Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back wherein he puts alms for oblivion' The history of the men who were associated with him in his civil administration should be cast into that wallet. BLAINE AND LOOA.N A3 CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERS. It is common among the Bourbon Republican organs to trace the origin of every appointment madeby the administration, and, in many cases if any prominent Democrat has influenced it, to hold him up either for scorn or ridicule. One would imagine that the appointments made by the Republican administrations were altogether free from everything objectionable, and were the results of inspirations from a high breed of statesmen. The Washington correspondent of the CourierJournal has gone to the trouble of hunting up the record made by Blaine and Logan in the matter of appointments, and here h what he found. The record dates back to 1SSI. This is a list a partial list cf the Blaine connection, showing how they were placed by the frngal hand of their patriarch, James G. Blaine, Secretary of State: John E. B!aine, Paymaster, brother; Robert G. Blaine, Agricultural Department, brother; Walker J. Blaine, Assistant Secretary of State, son; John E. Blaine, Revenue Collector, Tennessee, cousin; Rev. LI. C. Blaine, Chaplain in the Army, cousin ; John J. Coppinger, U. S. A., son-in-la ; Jame3 A. E&kin, Quartermaster General's Ofäce, cousin; Augustus Stan wood, New York Cistom House, nephew; Ieaac Stanwood, New York Custom House, nephew; James A. Dodge, Inspector of Customs, cousin; Wm. M. Eakin, Treasury Agent, cousin. Several assorted hangers-on of the family were scattered about. The document is not yet complete. Then cosaes "Black Jack" and it will "be observed that it is a cold day when Jack gets left In a thing of this sort. The Logan list runs about as follows: John A. Logan, United States Senator; O. A. Logan, Minister to Calle, couein W. F. Tucker, Paymaster Army, eon In law; John 11. Canning-

ham, Yellowstone Park, brother-in-law; Cjrus Thomas, Smithsonian Institution, brother-in-law; Susie Cunningham, Clerk in Treasury, sister-in-law; Enoch Blanchard, rostal Railway Service, nephew; Nellie E. Jenkins, Marine Hospital, niece; James Cunningham, Chicago Custom-house, brother-in-law; James M. Locan, Postmaster, Illinois, brother; Ed. Hill, I'nlted States Marshal, Illinois, nephew; Mary H. Brady, Treasury, servant; Louis Norrls, messenger Interior, servant; Daniel Shephard, Assistant Postmaster, Chicago, relative; Taylor Beach, Clerk at Senate, relative. Besides others in precincts yet to hear from.

INSULTING THE PRESIDENT. Some members of the Republican party made Logan's election the oc:aiion to intuit the President twice. An Iowa gang had the braz?n impudence to wire him the following dispatch: Dts Moines Iwa, May 19. To P. (J rover Cleveland, Washington: The Republicans of Iowa lend compliments to your excellency, aul congratulate yoa on the beneficent resuls of your dispatcn to Illinois: 'iend any one but Losan." Thank (Jod the publicans of our sister titate delight to honor tiu mau who will beat you iu lSS, The organs generally copy this with indorsing headlines, and do not seem to realize the indecency of thesa Iowa hoodlums. It is denied that the President sent any dispatch whatever in regard to Logan or anybody eke in connection with the Illinois Senatorial contest. While the Iüwa blackguards were insulting the President in the West, another gang described as "a lot cf drunken Republican hoodlums," procured a cannon in Washington, with qnns, pistols, etc., and about 2 o'clock in the morning when the city was unusually qiiet and nearly everybody in bed, this hand of drunken ruffians gathered near the Presidential mansion and made the night hideous with cannon and pistol firing in honor of Logan's election. As the Presi dent was very much disturbed and annoyed, we suppesö the blackguards will feel that they have not lived in vain. Maiame Nilsson doubtless is ha7ing he? share of trouble. She seems to have a law suit on her hands in the city of Paris. She is the plaintiti and the defendants are relatives of her late husband, M. Rouzeaud. She brings the action to recover about ;?15,0 Which she claims to have loaned her husband. The Paris correspondent of a London paper gives the details of the affair which will be found of interest by our readers. Miss Nilsson and M. Rouzeaud were married in Westminister Abbey in 1872. By a settlement made under the provisions of the English law the fortune of the lady, then amounting to 120,000, and her future professional earnings were excluded from the use or control of her husband, who, accord ing to the plain titTs counsel, was, although of a respectable family, potsesred of no property, and had previously held a situation in a bank. They lived together until two years ago when he died. Out of her private funds she claims to have loaned him 15,0C0 to buy an estate in which his family were interested, and at another time 20,000, which he used in the business of stockbroking. The balance of the sum claimed was employed by M. Rouzeaud in the purchase of Russian stock and Panama bonds. M. Rouzeaud died intestate and in a lunatic asylum, and the defendants, as heirs at law, then took possession of the property. On their behalf it is contended that some of the sums claimed were really never received by M. Rouzeaud, and that what he did receive from his wife was given and not lent. Great etre?3 was laid by the counsel for the defendants on the circumstance that Mme. Nilsson, though an excellent woman of business, can produce no documentary evidence in support of her plea. Judgment was deferred for a fortnigut. We do not tee why Mr. Register Bruce should be retained in office any longer. A Treasary clerk told the correspondent of the New York Herald the other day that the clerks of the Register's office were exceedingly anxious that a new Register should be ppointed. They were also anxions that the man who shall be appointed will be one who will attend to the duties of the office. He says Mr. Bruce, the present Register, has not spent on an average one hour in his office for each day that he had held the position, that he has taken numerous trips, remaining away sometimes as much ss two months. This wa3 the case last fall, when Mr. Bruce was engaged in making speeches in the Ohio campaign, and later on in the Presidential campaign. There is a theory that the Register has personally to sign all bonds and certificates of stock, but he said it was on a theory, as the Deputy Register, as well as a couple of clerks detailed for that purpose, have signed Mr. Brace's name thousands of times. Ho Complains that there is -a combination of the older oierks in the office against the more recent appointments, which makes work very annoying to the latter clerks. What the clerks want Is a Register who will give eome attectson to the office, reform some of its practices and break up the combinations. The position pays ?4,0C0 per year. General Rose crans can have it, it is said, if he wants it, but he wants something that will pay better, if he can secure it. Nsal Dow lectured in Baltimore the other night. He said among other things that "It was under the Republicans the navy has run down to a few old leaky tubs, afraid to go outside of Sandy Hook." And yet Maine, Dow's own State, and largely interested in shipbuilding, continues to vote the Republican ticket, and countenance Blaine, one of the leaders of the concern. Old Neal gave the party another jolt, as follows: " You recollect we carried the constitutional amendment, laying the Legislature shall pass a prohibitory law that there shall be no license in Maine, by 7,000 majority. We went to the Legislature to have this amendment enforced, and the Republican bosses in the Legislature spit in our faces and kicked

us out. They won't spit in our faces again. The Republican party is strong in Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois and other Western States, and they threaten to defeat prohibition in those States if they do not elect the four Republican members of Congrers from Maine next year, and the Legislature which elects a United States Senator. We'll seo about that. We know the value of our votes now."

The Journal after indorsing a special dispatch from a Bourbon Republican organ asserting that Senator Blackburn had a terrible falling out with the President; that he had "xead the riot act" to him, and cursed and sworn in his presencs, etc., copies the following from the Now York World to strengthen the position: It is probably a newspaper exaggeration to fay that Senator Joseph lilackourn called upon the President the other day and read the riot act to him. Mr. Blackburn is not in a happy frame of mind, fe believe, and wnen he talks, people in the neighborhood manaije to catch tho drift of his mind, but we can not balieve thst he has beeu cuilty of the impropriety of culHiu upon the President to lay down his areas aud disperse. This Is what, the boys would call ua dead give away." Why not confess that the statement was a lie, concocted by one of the many unscrupulous Washington scribblers for Bourbon Republican organs? PERSONALS. Lesteu Wallacic pronounces the statement that his gou was secretly married a i absurd fabrication. The marrisgo was private, but both families knswlt was to eccur. Ex Congressman f hank Huri has been heard from to the effect that it s?eni3 to be difficult to find the right sort of Democrat to fill tho offices.

Stephen Bülmer, the well-known English atheist, recently deceased, left 5,000 to his co-worker, Bradlaugh; and to his own wife, ho had supported him for years, he left the princely allowance of 3 a week. Misses Manning, Endicott, Lamar, Garland and the two younger daughters of Secretary Bay aid are not yet in society, but will be debutantes next winter, and pending that time the veteran Ben Parley Poore ventures to call them "Cabinet ro3ebnds." Lieutenant Greely, of Arctic experience, complains that he has not recovered his mental vigor since he returned home, and army officers who have seen him say that he is unfit for eervice. His articulation is very feeble and his eye-sight is very defective. Major Burke, of the New Orleans TimesDemocrat, retires from the Directorship of the Exposition broken in health, from overwork, and, worse yet, ho is said to have incurred personal obligations to the amount of $150,000 in his efTjrts to keep the Exposition running. The historian, George Bancroft, is in auch gocd health that he is seen in the saddle almost daily, generally riding oat with his friend Librarian Spofford. Mrs. Bancroft, too, is much better than usual, and the venerable pair will leave Washington for their Newport cottage early In June. Joseph Flannep., well known as an Amf rlcan resident of Paris, and an habitue of the Anglo-American resorts in the quarter cf the Grand Hotel, died suddenly there lately. Mr. Flannsr first went to Paris some twentythree or twenty-four years aqo as one of the agents of the Southern Confederacy, charged with the mission of negotiating the rebel government's bonds, and never returned to this country. Captain Howard, whose bravery saved the day to the Dominion troop3 in their recent fight with the Riel insurgents, is a nativo of Connecticut. Ae served in the war of the Rebellionand also five years in the regular army, where he had considerable experience in Indian warfare. He is a brave, coolheaded soldier, thoronphly familiar with army life, and he is also a very ekillful machinist, possessing a complete knowledge of tho mechanism of a Gatling gun. Some colored people at Pittsburg with substantial fortunes are John Galther, with an e täte worth 35,000, who fled from Louisiana forty years aso; Robert and Emanuel Jackson, prosperous business men, who inherited $10,000 from their father, an ex-slave; "Uncle" John Turfley, whose wealth is put at $30,000; Mrs. Williamson, a widow, of Allegheny, with a fortune of G3(000, and Geo. Knox aud his wife, who own property value 1 at $75,000. Some surprise has been expressed that young Barrios, a subject of Guatemala, should be allowed to receive his military education at West Point. The explanation of his presence there will be found in a joint resolution of Congress, approved February 2, 1834, by which the Eecretary of War was authorized to permit Antonio Barrios, of Guatemala, and Joeo Victor Savala, of Nicaragua, to receive instruction at the Military Academy at West Point, provided no expense should be cans 3d to the United States thereby. A Valuable Ring Stolen. Representative M. L. McClellan, of Valparaiso, and T. W. Gardner, a jeweler of this city called at the Postoffice yesterday to make inquiries regarding a ring sent in a letter by the jeweler to Mr. McClellan. The latter produced the envelope which he had received through the mail, but which, when opened by .him, contained nothing. The envelope was post-marked "Indianapolis, May 8." The ring was a family relic, left in the possession of the jeweler to be re ret, and was prized very highly by the owner. The Jeweler eaid that it was inclosed with ft letter in the envelope, and must have been opened iter it left his hands. The envelope bore no evidence of bsisg tampered with, and the extraction o( th.e ring must have been ac

Lawyer' Fees. INew ork Herald. General Butler and Mr. F. J. Duplnac spent many hous yesterday in Mr. Ashbil Green's office trying to get explanations from Mr. Aaron Kahn as to the promiscuous entries and erasures in his cash book in the accounts against Mrs. and Miss HoyL Mr. Kahn could not furnish any information as to the income he derived from his profession; was uncertain as to what casss he bad tried, and pleided ignorance about the fees he had received. One charge appeared in the book which almost decided General Butler to clofehis office in Boston and open one in New York. It was a charge of 1000 for drawing up Mrs. Hoyt's last will and testament. Here is a young man," said the General, 4,who never drew up a will before, bad never neen in the Surrogate's Court till employed in this esse, and he charges $3.000 for drawing cp a will for one of his clients." "Hue and experience have nothing tD do with it," replied Mr. Robert Sewell. "William Pitt supplied England with some of the most glorious pages of her history when he was still in the twenties." "Pardon me." replied the Geneial, "ase and experience have a definite value in the legal market, though I own youth sometimes gets away with the 'boodle.' The lait will a man signs is of the worst, as In the case wo are trying; bat the first will a lawyer draws up is never his be3t, unless It is his only one." Lawyer Kahn moved uneafdlyin his chair, and a large collection of diamonds scintillated nn his person as General Butler commenced to criticise bis English. "What be d036" asd "jvhat he sean," eipres3ed in writing and speech, took the referee's breath away, while the "hull of tho matter' ' almost prostrated tho General, who cave the learned lawyer a brief lecture on- LIndley Marray. When asked a question as to ceriatn entries Mr. Kahn said ho preferred to wait till Mr. Seweil. his counsel, returned. General Butler, who had not noticed that Mr. S well had left the room and that Mr. A. M. Alexander had taken his seat, turned to the referee and asked: "To whom shall I apologize, your Honor, to Mr. Alexander or to Mr. Sewell? That reminds me," he continued, "of a case that happened in Washington many years ago. There was a Congressman from Ohio called Sawyer, and nicknamed 'Ssusage Sawyer,' because he was always eating sausages behind nis chair in the Hons9. One day a clrcus arrived in Wa'hington. David Crockett went to it, and for the first time saw a baboon. He turned to a friend on one side of him and eaid. 'How like Sausage Sawyer.1 and turning to the other side there ha found Sawyer. Sawyer demanded an apologv. All right,1 replied Crockett, I apologiza to the monkey.' " "Well, as I am prf sent and Sewell is not, I think yen had better apologize tome," said Mr. Alexander. "Very well," repl'ed the General; "but don't tell Sewell 1 did so." . Grows Respectable. Boston Record.

Marshal Henry Avesof New Straitsville, O., while in a quarrel with Albert Guest on the streets of that place to-day, was shot by the latter several times in different parts of the body, and there are reports to night that he can not recover. One shot misted Aver and hit a boy eleven years of ago, fifty yards away, passing throagh his body and injuring his spine eo that he could not recover. Guest leaded hisrevolyer and endeavored to escape, firing on two Pinkerton men who followed him, but they compelledd him to s irrender, and he was lrcielin jail. Strong threats of lynching were indulged in, and trouble is feared before morning. Reports as to the trouble between the men are conflicting, one being tliat Avir was about to serve a warrant for tte arrest of Guest, and another that they were talking over some trouble had in the conntrv the evening previous. Tho State Journal's New Straitsville special says: "Two hundred masked men broke into the prison at 10 o'clock and compelled the constable at the point of revolvers to give up the keys. They secured Guest and took him out near Plember Hill Mine, where they hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets' Efavor Grace on Ueer and Whisky. New York, May 21. At the closing eession of the Brewers1 National Convention, Mayor Grace said : "There is an intimate connection between good beer aud good government, as there is between too much whisky, good and bad, and all the crimes against society contained in the calendar. I have nevor doubted the efficiency and desirability of high license laws as applied to the regulation of the liquor traffic. On the other hand I have not hesitated to avow my sympathy with all legislation which discriminates in favor of the brewer and consumer of malt liquors. I believe sue a discrimination to be in the interest of temperance and good cider in the community ai much as I believo those of onr inhabitants for whom beer is almost a natural beverage, are among the' bett and nisst public spirited of citizens." Hanlott'a Ketdrn What He Saja About Beach. San Francisco, May 21 The Zelandla arrived at noon, with Edward Hanlon, the arsman, among her passengers. Hanlon. being questioned on his defeat by Beach, replied: "I eimply met a better man than I was at the time. I was beaten fairly and tquaiely.
