POLITICAL CALDRON. SEETHINGS FROM' BOTH SIDES AN AUTHORITY " ON COMIN EVENTS.

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE OP INDIANA BOMR IUOnTSM VRT GUESSING. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnat Gazette, a living republican office holder of this city and the Intimate friend of Governer Morton gives a careful summing up of the political chance and to those who cam for the gain of political chanc?, it Is mighty interesting reaiinst. Under Gate of February 7, he writes; Although it is tour months before either the "ropobllcan or democratic tat convention will be held, there is a good deal of iuiet talk coins on in political circles, as to wht course will be pursued bv the respective par ties durins the approaching canvass, and mach speculation as to the candidates, both state and congressional. It is too early to predict with any degree of certainty as to what political conventions will do. so far in advance, but I will Drive your readers the benefit of all the gossip now atloat in politi cal circles, and they can take it lor what it Is worth. The republican state ticket will, without a doubt, be composed of the present state officers, except the superintendent of public instruction, who U a democrat. Thev made etlective canvasses aoous two years atro. have proven themselves honest, faith ful. and competent otflcials, and, so far, no opposition whatever has been made, to their re-nomination. In addition to the secretary of state, auditor. treasurerer, attorney eeneral. and superintendent of public in struction, there is a supreme judge elect, to succeed Judze Osborne, who now houis his place tv the appointment of Governor Baker. Judge Osbörur is the only republican upon the bench; and will be nominated bv the republicans, and in all probability will -have no opposition, as. many leading democratic attorneys are for hira. They are free to say that his course on the bench has been such as commands the respect of al parties, and that such a compliment is due him. Thera is no telling who will be nomi nated lor supjnutenuent or public instruc tion. as everv school teacher in this state who has ever attended a state teachers con vention : everv ascent of a new series of school b"Oks: everv agent for school furni ture. and every minister who is a failure in his profession or has ever had the uiost re mote connection with a college, is a candi date for that office. THK PKMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION will be held about the 24th or 25th ol June, that being a week after the republicans have held theirs. What course they will pursue "is one of those things no fellow can find out,' beyond that the call will be for a democratic state convention, and all persons opposed to the present national administration i ill be invited to attend and participate in the convention, but there will, be uo abandonment of the "grand old democratic party' as their orators are so fond of calling it. "This course was indicated by Governor Hendricks ia his address to the democratic members of the Illinois legislature at Springfield, Illinois, a few days since. The convention will be composed of and controlled by the old anti-war element of the party, who will make a ticket composed ot their own peculiar friends. Hendricks, Voorhee, Niblack fc Co. understand that any "new departure" means political oblivion to tueru, and they would preler deteat to that. They will, however, give the liberals, If there are any left by the time their convention meets, a candidate on the State ticket,aud a milk and water resolution.in payment ot suca strength s they can tringthem. Of course John R. Craven i, of Madison, will expect the place assigned to the liberal" on the ticket. He is a chronic office seeker, and being a failure at everything else, is a candidate every year for soma place, on one ticket or the other, and it is immaterial to him which. He is not particular about small matters and when one party kicks him overboard he turns a somersault into the other and becomes a candidate upon their ticket. Julian may attempt to supplant Cravens' bat he will hardly ba able to do so, as the latter.is the.better electioneerer among the Democrats. He can be agreeable wheu he desires to be so, while Julian is as cold as a town pump, in mid winter and his handshaking reminds oneof its iron handle THK A KMT OF CANDIDATES. The following persons have been mentioned In connection with the offices named: Auditor of state Jhn C. Shoemaker, the late incumbent; John B. Stoll. editor of the La Porte Arus; Dr. Pat ton, one of the editoraof the Vlncennes Sun ; Harris i:yno!ds, of Crawfordsvllle, and K. D. Slater, jr.. of Lawrencebunc. Shoemaker has twice defeated 8toll before nominating conventions, and there Is considerable feeling between them tad their friend. Ah the former has a bad rword It i litrly Stoll will ventilate it, and hi least secure his defeat. Secretary of Mate Ttie moot ptomluent candidate is Col. A. T. V hittle ?y. Oovernor Hendricks' private secretary. The others are J uie i. it ltyaeiaati, one of the no torious Ca county ring, aud John Roberts, ol Madison, a reuegade repuMican. The chances are decidedly in favor of ihe former. He is an old, original Dr. Jacob Townsend democrat, and la the anle proprietor ot a voice whose clarion swte would wake "Old Hill Allen" out of a profound slumber, If he wer wuhlu a mile and a half of him, to aay nothing of - the thousands of'-old mos covered and hard shell defaoc.at- he wouJd attract from out ot the woodj. lulls, and brush pi lea of sot. t hern Indiana.

The prominent denoeratie candidate are J. U. Williams od Tboa. It. Cobb, of ituox, the irrepressible Dobbins, f Martin. The former ia a -granger, n o!d member of the senate. He oear a strong personal rearablance to the late President Lincoln, ,and la the most formidable candidate. Jobb Isalrnoat consumed with anxiety, and Dobbin don't raesn any harm by hla candidacy, Offlce seeking is become chronic witai him, and he can't help It. Col. C. W. Allen, of Knox, a reuegade and dreadfully core, headed Republican is also reported to be In training for the nomination. He has had congress on the brain fr a long time, and has beert lefeated twice,but he will be mollified with belne made president of the convention, or something ofth-tteort. Democrats don't throw away nominations in districts whore their.majoritles are so large, on recent converts who bring but one vote with them. In the third district the republicans are talking of running Hon. Ralph Hill, a former renreaeutatlveof the district, but as the district Is 4f) democratic, there Is no hope of carrying It. The democracy would have undoubtedly nom-

Inated Hon. M. C. Kerr, of Floyd, but for

This utterly rained him with his party ES they are in favor of unlimited Inflation 94 etvlng every man, woman and child a joetetf al of greenback.

If there Is a mora unscrupulous politician In the State than Davis, he has escaped my knowledge; indeed, he is a little strong for the average democratic stomacn, aud that is admitting a gooa oeai. s-ome new name will doubtless present Itself before the convention meets, as ncne of these men come up to the average requirements of even a democratic candldats. POSSIBILITIES. In the fourth district the only name men tioned by the republicans Is that of Judge Berk shire, of Ripley. It Is possible, however, that the Hon. W. A. Cullen, ef Rash, and the Hon. F. J. Bellemay, of Ohio, may be candidates. The district 1 reliably republican by over SW ma jority. The Democracy are catlng about for a candidate, ana n cravens snonia iau to get a place on the democratic Mate ticket, he will be after it red hot. Col. Keoby, of Decatur, would not object to the thankless race on account of the notoriety it will give him. Scoby does not belong: to that class of politicians who believe in modesty or hiding their nirht under a bushel measure. The Fifth District is represented by Hon. J. M. Wilson, and no men ever represented a district with Kreater crdlt to himself or the country thanjhas Judge Wilson ; but in an unguarded mo ment ne voteu ror ine increased sainry uiu iu order to secure nn amendment of his own to en able the govern menl to proceed against the cen tral Pacific road in a matter of vital interest. and almost destroyed his influence with his party. Since his return to congress, however. he has made amends for that vote by promptly votlnz to repeal the bill, and has become t he most consulcuous member on the floor In all matters of economy and reform, and he has more than reinstated himself iti the affections of his constituents. Iiis aoillty Is unquestioned, and his Integrity was never doubted, but he will not be a candidate for renominatlon unless there is a general desire on the part of the republicans that he should be. The only other names mentioned are those of Gen. Thomas M. Browne, of Randolph, and Hon. B. F. laynool, of Fayette. The former was tha late republican candidate for governor. His name Is a household wor eth to e people of eastern Indiana. He Is not sed kin the nomination, but will make tne race ifg It is edrable that he should do so. Mr. t'lnypool Isan attorney and banker at t'onnersville, and has served one or more terms in the state senate. He is a good sneaker and a ström; man. The democrats will without much doubt nominate Hon. W. s. Holman. the present representative from the old third district, who is the most adroit politician in the Hrate. He keeps his popularity in view all of the time, and is believed by his opponents to be the most arrant demagogue in Consrress. fo man was ever more thoroughly hated by his opponents. He has no great amount of ability but is remarkably cunning and manages to keep himself before the public by various device. He is no match for Judge Wilson, however, on the floor or stump. The republican majority In this district 1 1,V. In the sixth district, the names of Jndge Buckles, of Delaware: Col. Asbtiry Hteele, of Grant : Col. Milton Robinson, of Madison, and Hon. John T. Klllott. Judge Joshua Mellett, and col. Wm. Gro-e, of Henry, are announced. The republicans of Henry, will, however, present only one name to the convention, aud that will doubtlesi be that of Judge Elliott, late or the supreme bench, a gentleman of unblemished reputation, an able lawyer, and one of the most popular men in eastern Indiana. The probabilities ate that thecontest lefore the convention will be narroweJ down to Klllott and Col. Robin son, of Anderson. The latter is young, enereetic, has the ad van tage of a good war record, has also served two term In the legislature, a tine eaker,a!id if noratna'ed wilt make a creditable representative. The Republican majority in the district la l,au. , A TROCill.ED SEA. The democracy are all at sea in this district, and are attempting to form an alliance with the ' grangers." as there is no possible chance for a democrat. " Davegoodlng" of Hancock, one of the most Ignorant and irrepressible blatherskites In the union, and who will be remembered as Andy Johnson's United States Marshall for the district of Columbia, feels as If the race belongs to hlra, aud er," ha b?come a"grangbut It hardly possible that the sensible members of that order will consent to allow the order to be hell rfioonsible for hlscandldacynuch lesshls utterances. In the seventh district, no republican seems to be seriously anxious to run aaat nst General Cobnrn. the present lncumlent, whose record has proved satisfactory to his party. The name of I vlany 1. Williamson, of Gre"ncastle, and formerly attorney-iceneral ot the state, has been mentioned as a candidate, but. not author!tatlvidy. lie 1 a nne speaker, and would make an effective canvass. The republican majority in this district is 2.W, ao there is no possible chance for the democracy, and they will be conpeiiea to put up a candidate as a matter of form. Who it will be no one haa any idea. The chances are that it will be some young attorney anxious for notoriety possibly "Jim" Mitchell. In the eighteenth district the republicans will, in all probability, renominate Hon. Morton C. Hunter, the present Incumbent. The republican majority in the district Is 1,5J. The democracv will probbably nominate John C. Kohinson.of'oweu, who is a nephew of the late John I- Robinson, of old No democrat is mentioned. X matter waom they put up. he will be completely "snowed under." The twelfth district is one of the new districts, and, Isaf present represented by Major II. It. styler, of Huntington, but it is hopelessly deniocratlc, their majority being over 4,iw. The contest for the democratic nomination will be hitter between Judee Iowry and John E. JetT. The former was defeated bv Hilly Williams in IHiiS, and the latter by J. P.C. Xbank in lsvj. it is charged that tfleft the old ninth and moved into the new district for the express pi;rpose or running tor coDgress, and that he is a "car. pet-bagstr." In tne new thirteenth district the chancer seem to be In favor of J. H. Baker, of Kikhart. although there is some talk of J.W.Frar.ier. late of the supreme court, and more recentnnis on. for the settlement ottheclaims erowinz out of the Alabama case. He will, however, hajdly tea candidate, as he Is one of the attorneys of the I'm ted Htatcs treaanry department, and ha specla! charge of the cot'on cases. The democracy will nominate, as usual, some pet son merely to keep their partv together, but wi'h no hope of electing him. The republican majority in thedistrlct ia 1,HW. Billy Williams, coimressman at lrze, and a former member from t h old tenth district, has permanently settled in Washington, where tie Is perm an entlv engaged In the real estate pecuiatl-ns, and does not Intend to return to Indiana again. He was a "salary grabber," and glories in it. in districts where the democracy have a reliable majority the' do not ever think of going outside ot their organization for a Candidate, but in districts where tjiy aie ia a mtnorlty they are coquetting with the grangers. That - is a fact that it will be well for the grangers to note. LOCKING I0R A "tiKASGkR," and Anson Walcott, of White, a vain and disappointed republican who Greeleylzed last year, is working like a beaver for the race, but his chances are doubtful, and the race Mill . be a hopeless one at the best. Mn the eleventh district the result it covered - In doubt. .. Mr. Tyner, tne present representa- . i nve. na maae anemcieni meinuer, and waa very popular with all parties. He voted twice agHint the salary bill but upon its final passage wa absent from the floor with his committee, bnt before leaving th ball he told ther'erk if the bill came trvot t send for him, which the clerk foiled to do. If he had been present he would have voted against it a third time. The mistake he made, however, wa in takln the back pay after it wa voted . He advocated and voted for the repeal, and It Is difficult to tell what will be the course pursued toward blm. All believe him to be honest and competent. His position upon the committee on appropriations has enabled him to exercise apowerful Influence in favor of retluclng appropriations, and has atoned for his course in the salary matter. The names of Col. Thos. H. Brlnghurst, of jogansport, and special a neat of the postofflce department. Theo. PhilHj, of the Kokomo Tribune, and Janaea L. Kwa, of Noble vilie, are canvassed, wltb the chances in favor of Brlnghurst, If Tyner Is out of the way. The Republican majority of the distrtct is 2,800. democratic memory, and was the democratic candidate for reporter of the supreme court last year. The name of Dr. Rice, of Pnike, is also mentioned, as well as that of liajless W. lianna. The former ia not known, and the latter is about the most played out politician in the state, and is wlti'out the re-pect or confidence of the better class of asy party. Voorbeea is completely sueivevi by bis vacillating course In the last presidential election, and his cha mplonshlp of the "sala." grab." No one ever mentions Iiis name in connection with office now. In the

ninth district but little ia yet said. Mr. Orth,

one of the congressmen at large, aa well as Judge Casson, are both residents ot this district, and it Is believed that, in case the lormer detires the nomination, he will recMve it without much dfhulty, although Jcdga Caason and Oen. Lw. Wallace wilt each have considerable strength In the convention. The democracy will probably renominate Gen. M. D. Sanson, the late representative of the district. The names of Arch. Johnson, of Crawfordsvllle. a "granger," and J. B. Williams, of Lafayette, will also be presented to the convention. The rt pub lican majority in the district la aou. In the tenth district the prospect Is that Gen. Packard s name win not De presented to the convention. Cause: record on the "salary sTab." The names mentioned so far are: Major V. H. LaiKins, or Importe: cant, w. j. Uenze, col. Humphries, and Hon. W. W. Butterworth, of St. Joseph ; Lansing, of Porter; Turner, of Lake, and Hammond, of Jasper. There Is some quiet talk about Colfax, but it la not believed he will le a candidate. The republican majority in the district is over i.euu. OLIVER P. HOW HE SITS IN THK SEXATE AXD WHAT FOR A rO PICTURK BY ONE OP THOME "WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS." The Chicago Times Washington correspondent sends this to his paper: When the United States senator breaks out in unexpected places, and does things which start the goose-flesh of surprise all over the bodies of his closest friends, lay it to the presidency. About this time Morton is more liable to erupt in unaccountable ways than most of his associates, although erratic outbreaks are in order from Boutwell and Carpenter. When Conkling returns from Utica, with becoming crape on his hat and a carefully adjusted tear in each eye in honor of bis poor doad father, be. too, may be liable to burst into un looked for antics at a second's notice, desarism is played out. It is not the third term which is fretting seaators; it is the Xirst. Nobody wonders if Grant is to serve twelve years; everybody conjures as to who will next serve four. Morton and the rest are already tallying off the months which intervene be tween the fidgety present and the time of opening another campaign. When any of them cut some particularly grotesque caper. it is pennies to pounds that they do it in the beim they are helping themselves acquile correct steps ror the presidential dance. Morton's amazing pigeon wine in the Lou isiana cotilon is attributable to just this same cause, and nothing, else. After a protracted codding of Kellogg and Pinch back, he dambuunded the country one morning by kicking straight back at the latter's claims to congressional greatness. He still professes adhesion to the Kellogg cause, but is actually preparing to repudiate him also. His excuse for so suddenly refusing to longer countenance Pinchback's pretentions to a seat in the senate were cooked for the occasion; and he lied when be presented them. He said that he had come into the possession of additional facts damaging to I'incnoact's personal character. This was n out an out ne. lie Knows no more re garding the private history of Pinchback than he did before. - . THE ALLEGATIONS . against the tawny humbug's personal life are insignificant, and have no bearing what ever on the great issue at stake. It is charged that Pinchback has been in jail. This is true, but what has that fact to do with the question of his late election as a United States senator? He became engaged in a broil, some years ago, in Louisiana with an other embyrotic congressman done in char coal, stabbed him, and was justly jailed therefor. If Morton's eyes were not blinded by the beam of a possible white house, thev i i a. i i a . a i a . r wouiu see tuat mis mote in me i lncnoacK character amounts to exactly nothing I'inchbacK nas no pusiness to demand son a torial honors and salary. But the reason is that his election was brought about by one oi ine most continuous ana neinous aggregations of chousing known to history; not because he once ate mush and molasses be hind bars. Mori on, however, needed an excuse for turning crab. He took the first at hand. Had this not been ready he would have objected to Pinchback because the latter blows his nose with a bandker chief, whereas Morton picks his with his fingers. The real reason for his pitching 1'incniaiCK to ine nsnos a at en from the ar rival in Washington of Warmoth and Mc Knery. It took but two seances of these gentlemen with Morton to convince him that Louisiana particularly desires him for tne next president. If the gentle reader believe8 it lmpossioie ior a presumaDiy clever poll ucian to ce so easny guiieu oy A PAIR OP ADVENTURBRS, let him, the gentle reader I mean, imagine tor a few minutes that he is to be boss ma gist rat of the United States the coming term. As the fantasy of toady adulation, bull pups, J")0.000 a year, Seneca sandstone steals, and unlimited free rum swims, before him. he will find himself in a frame of mind ready to believe that the sun rises in the west, and the earth is a ti tangle. It was shown to Morton's satisfaction that Ixmisi ana is certain, at another and a legal election, to s'amp the Keilogg-l'inchback monströs ity into everlasting pulp. The cunning pleaders naa armed themselves with documentary proof by the car-load, and pre vailed upon their greedy listener to hear cock and bull stories at which girl babies ordinarily grow incredulous. He was made to see that the senators who should lead olf in bouncing Pinchback would inevitably become the special jewel in the girdle of Louisiana 3 good opinion. Nay, more, he would be a diamond Biar in the diadem of the entlre.Soutbern love. Who so nttine as Morton? He was secured in the graces ot republicans everywhere; this act would clench him as the idol of a great share of the opposition, llckied with the straw, Mor ton consented to go dead back on his record. stipulating only that he should eat his bumble pie by degrees. He would first repudiate rincbbacK, and, eventually, give a cold shoulder to the whole Kellogg gang. He kept his word, and was scared back to his senaea at finding the very men ia the senate whom he most fears as possiblo competitors iu the presidential race, eager to indorse hia sommersaalt. Carpenter, Kdmunds, Conk jiiig ana uoutwen were reaay to chew as much dirt aa Morton, and now nothing can persuade him that Warmoth and McKnerv did not hold out t he same promises to every otner avauaDie repuoncan in tne senate. . . , , WANING GREATNKSM. 1 r a a a a a J-ater a nouae who two momera-m-iHw is in hot no deeper than that in which Morton has paddled this session. He has had comfort from nobody. Schurz has cuffed his financial bantlings, and Sherman has spanked them. McCreary teok Morton's many v colored Louisiana : jacket, and in hair an bout made it the laughing dock ot every senatorial tailor in the chamber. Conklln iibes him, and Carpenter teases him with the red rag of parliamentary rule. There is not a promiuent man in the country who shows gangrene to frequently as Morton. He Is susceptible to torment from the newest of members, and turn eight different tints when hectored by even the gawky delegates from Texas or Oregon. A glimmer of suspicion is beginning to brighten the many nooks of the public mini. That Oliver P. Morton is neither a Machiavelli in political knowledge and intrigue, nor an Edmund Burke La natural oratorical gifts is com mendng to be understood. A year or two longer and his rating will be precise. 'He will then be known as an apt Indiana lawyer acrid in gab, and a fair ha .d at manipulating second-class men. J but with - no more self-control than a three-year old bull. I understand that he bewails his physical Infirmity unceasingly, believing

that his crutches are the only barrier between his huge genius and immutable renown. Yet men with bad leers have linmed

overthe rocky road to faiein the past. Tamerlane was a hobbler, Ignatius Loyola, crippie, isyrou naa a nait in his gait. Sir Walter Scott was lame, Talleyrand walked crooked and many another master of men has found the wings of genios, sinewy enough to carry crooked shanks to imper ishable glory. I had almost forgotten that one of Senator Wright's legs is shorter than its fellow. PUTTING IN THE KNIFE, WITH MB, DAWES AT THE HANDLE HOW THE GREAT PARTY SQUIRMED AND WRITHED UNDER THK SCALPEL THE SPEECH IN THE HOUSE. A Washington dispatch to the Chicago Times of the 13th gives this account of Mr. Dawes speech In the house on Thursday. The sensation in congress to-day has been the severe arraign mentoi the republican party by the leader of the house. The verdict, therefore, of the republican members of congress on Mr. Dawes' finan cial speech, made this afternoon, Is generally unfavorable to the chairman of the committee of ways and means. Although the financial speeches of the Massachusetts member have often been very unpalatable to his associates. it is probable that none of them ever caused so much dhmav on his own side of the house. Judging by the remarks of repuollcan members on It to-night, Mr. Da we' speech haa been fatal to him aa a leader. He is charged witn a morbid desire to create a sensation and astonish the country. As the leader of the partv in tne house for some time back, they allege that he Is more responsi ble man anybody eue lor the very state oi things which is protested against. "lie does this every year, say hia fellow republicans, aud it is always the hardest thing we have to answer on the stump. We shall nave to meet and aujwer this speech next fall." A few mem bers seem to be disposed to tatte up Mr. Dawes and slick by him ia his assaults on the policy of the government, nut tne memDers wno are not so sure of their districts are intensely stirred up by his sweeping statements, aad lament the making of them. It was noticed that, at the close oi his remai ks, to which the entire house had pa.d strict attention, no member advanced to coneratuiate him, to signify approbation to what he had said. The tepiesentatlves from Connecticut and .New Hamp shire was especially dismayed by the drift of Mr. Dawea argument, anu tne manner in wmcn ne exposed the rottenness of his party. Cn one or two lormer occasions air. iMwes nas come to eiiff on the stump, on account of L.s freedom of criticism of the administration on the floor of conzress. To-day it was lnslznincaut that he said little or nothing about the responsibility of the executive for the squandering of the money of the people, but seemed to lay the whole re sponaiblllty upon the shoulders of a republican conzress. where, indeed, most of it belongs. An arrangement was made on the republican side to lay aside the special order, which was the tree transmission of printed matter through the mails, and take up the bill for repealing the duty on matches, which had been reported from lb. ways aud means committee without recommendation. Mr. Dawes spoke for two hours and proceeded to make THK MOST SEVERE AUKAUJSMKNT of the republican party which has ever been ut tered by any public man. He went at once in the eeneral question of the condition of the government, and showed, first, that the last congress had appropriated S3J,000,ixA) more than the treasury department can have the means at lis command to pay. lie vie wing the acts of the last congress, he showed that the reductions of internal revenue and custom dues made by it, will cause a reduction in the receipts ox the itovernmentof U,:it7.:Ji:i 51 during the present hscal year. He asserted that the goods upon which the reduction had been made had been imported tins year to the amount of more than a hundred millions in excess or any previous year. upon which lie claims there would have been a corresponding tint v. lie gave (secretary uoutweii a pun ror navmg warned the house, In 18 J, thai it was reducing too freely. In regard to the present state of aüairs, he argued that tne internal revenue rcctipts were likely to be quite up to the average durlcg the remainder of the fiscal year, bathe held that it would never do to ine ease the Internal taxes to meet the current expenses of the gov ernment. To do so would be to acknowledge that their hold on power was weakening. This was, a terrible blow to ;ms republican friends but no one undertook to answer him. He said they must abandon the idea of increased taxation, and intimated the duties on teas and coffees must be restored, and the duties en other goods ral-ed to enable the treasury to meet the denen or next year. Having proceeded thus far, Mr. Dawea began an analysis of the expenditures of the government to show the extravagance which nas character ized congress and the executive for the past four years. He anew, he said, that nothing was ao unpopular as specified retrenchment, nothing so popular as general etonomy. ills ta.sK was a thankless one. Nevertheless, he approached it boldly. The rottenness of the civil servloe, the wasting of millions annually on the employment ol useless oliicers, the wastefulness of the pension officers, the avenues of extravagance left open year after year, in t he permanent appropriations, the spending of such immense sums on public buildings, the magnifying of the duties of he postomce so that It does a general express business, were thoroughly exposed as thoroughly as they could be in a speecn covering so much ground, lie was frequently Interrupted bv questions from restive members, wno could not near to cave tne uciinq tencies, to which they had consented, exposed. 'Ibis was particular. y evident when be read a letter from a person who had had the office ot appraiser at the inland port ot Evansville, Indiana, staling that he drew a salary of f-i,00t) a year for three years, doing uo woik at a J. SPEAKER BLAINE occupied a seat betide Mr. Dawea throughout his sM3ech, and seenied to be anxious to prevent Mr. Dawea from going too far, aa he took occa sion to remind him occasionally of facts in favor of the government. The western and southern members, especially the new ones, are very angry at Mr. Dawes, fcr they know that hia speech will prove an unanswerable argument in the hands of the opposition next auiumn. rrouaoiy iour score oi ine republican members recognize their political death warrant in this speech. Mr. Dawes' gen eral statement cf the expenditures of the gov ernment during the past four years was very strlklne. In is.O, he mid, we expended fw,ouo,1 00 and paid off a hundred million debt: In 171 we expended two hundred millions of dollars; in 1S72 we expended two uunureil ana seventy aeven millions, aud paid ninety-nine millions of debt: in 1K73 the expenses rose to two bunrfnul mtihnn mil nnlv fnrtv.thrw millions of . l . i-. " . " - y - - - - " - . public d?b. was paid, while for the present year J three huudreu ana nineteen minions were appropriated and we have paid none of the debt. At the clone of his speech, Mr. Dawea waa corrected by Mr. Jartleld. who seemed to feel that Mr. Dawea bad done Iniury to hla committee in this statement. He showed pretty clearly that Mr. Dawes had included the sinking fund in hia statement for 1873 and the present year, while he had left It out ol his statements for the previous years. He staled that twenty-seven millions of the present year's figures were a part of the permanent appropriation for the sinking fund, and eleven millions for deficiencies, ao'I figured that the proper statement of the case would show that only about $72,000,no0 were appropriated for the regular expenses ef the fiscal year J but this does not detract in the end, from the general effectiveness of Mr. Dawea arraignment of the government, aa he started out oy showing the monstrous deficit which remains to be provided. m r- - The First I X-x ient of, a Home. 1 nev I aw a garment too. fine for man or tnald there never waa a chair too good for a cobbler or cooper to sit in; never a house too fine to shelter the human head..' These elements about us, the gorgeous sky, the imperial Sun, are not too good for the human race. Eloquence fits man. Bat do we not value these tools ot housekeeping a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgags home for the mahogany we would bting into It? I had rather eat my dinner off the head of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Uantist in the wilderness, or ait on a block all my life, than consume all myself Derore l get a home, ana taue so much pains with the outsido that the inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a groat thing, but beauty of garments, house and furniture is a very tawdry ornament comfared with domestic love. All the elegance n the world will not make a homel and I would give- more for a spoonful of hearty love than lor whole ship-loads of furniture, and all the upholsterers of the world could gather together.
