General Gideon J. PUlow on the Texas Border Balds. THE DEVASTATION" OF THE FRON TIER. A CHAHOK Ilf THI BOUNDARY LISK THS osly xrr rcnvK remedt thk opkbaTIONS OF CORTINA AND HIS BA3D. General Gideon J. Pillow, having his pen In hand to aek congresa to indemnify bim for the losa of his moles, concluded that be would also contribute to the New York Herald bla views of the troubles ou the Texas border. Hear him: I have read the editorial article in the Henld of ths 2J instant, the sogaestioos of General Sheridan and the statements and cp'nlons jf wltresses bei re the congressional comniiitf w tb interest, and, iu view of the in.portt.ic of the autject nndtr corslderation, I trust I will be pardoned for oflerirj? wbst I regard the only eolation of ttuxe Texas border troubles. We have the mcst indUpuUble proofs tbatthose robber Yalds have laid waste and depopulated a belt of about aixty miles on the Texas Btrianf tha Rio Grande, and that this wasted region extends rear'y 500 miles up . . - . . - M1 . 1 -. k-.

That thissvstem of brigandage and of robber war has been going on and is kept op, notwithstanding the loud camplalnta ot the people ot Texas and the remonstrances of our government with that of Mexico. The only known excise or explanation gwvn by the Mexican governmet is that it Ca KOT COHTBOL ITS POPULATION. w. can 8 , a 8late 0f things be allowed to continue? iu uty can be clearer than that our government a.n8t protect its ter ritory and people irom vya. predatory Msxican arm v.

The expense to this government of sucn a lorce, constantly neia on met line, would be an intolerable burden. To place force equal to tbe duty ot following tbese organized bands of robber Into Mexican territory, and there chastise them and thus PUT AN BND TO THESB INVASIONS, would not accomplish the desirtd result?, for tbe reasots: if our cavalry can not overtake and cut up tbe bands of rubbers on our side of the river (which is an admitted fact), bow could they do so on th Mexican aide? These bands of robbf r ar9 familiar witn tbe interior of their own country. When hard pushed they would disband and scatter through the cuapparel mountains of tie interior, where pursuit by a body of our troop? would become im possible, it our forces were to scatter (and weaken the body) they wcu!d ba liable, upon a concentration of theen6my in their front, to surprise and to be cot op. ueMdes, the pursuit of these bauds into Mexican territory would rjue up the whole population of these border Utes, and would snrely oring on a var. Nj government in Mexico couid stand before the people which would consent to these invasions of its territory, 'there are not less than 30,000 to 40,000 of these Mexican robbers in the two states of Tamaulipas and New Leon. They are all expert horsemen. Their horses are as fleet as the deer, and possess great activity and endurance. They are thoroughly trained to the dash of the robbers and will penetrate a chapparel frim which tbe American horse and bis rider would recoil. The Mexican peons are all clothed in dressed leather, and could pass unharmed through a chapparel thicket which would atrip bare and tear the flesh ot tbe American soldier. My conviction is that all auch EXPEDIENTS ARK BUT TEMPOBART PALLIATIVS?. They will net put an end to these troubles. They will but satisfy these organized bands of robbers of the Immunity with which they can pursue 'their robber life. Tbe Mexican peons, who compose this army of robbers, cor 8 ' it u to nine-tenths of the population of these border sta'es They cultivate small crops of corn, brity and wheat, and thoy hvt tLree-fouribs oi the y?ar which tb-y cn devote to plundering the American territory and supplying itemselves with btef. The Rio Grinde river ia nearly dried up for nine months in the year, and is wholly nrsaited lor a national boundary Jlne. There is but one remedy for these troubles that will give permanent peace to tbe border. That remedy is toronr government to take possession of the states of Tamaulipas and New Leon, making tbe Pannco river and the Sierra Madr9 mountains tbe boundary between tbe two governments. This being dose it should organize these states Into territorial governments, arrest and try all the robbers they can catch by a military commission, lor murder, robbery, etc. That will give peace to the country, and will add to it a territory equal in its ability of productiveness and its climats to the Island of Cut a. The state of Ta maulipaa is a gulf state, with about 5C0 miles of coast front, extending from tbeRio Grande to Tamplco on tbe south and to tbe Sierra Madre mountains on the west, and ia equal to any portion of the earth for the production of SUGAR A5D THE TROPICAL FRUITS. New Leon ia an interior state, consisting of mountaInaand Valley, resembling much West Virginia or Eastern Ohio. The Pannco river is broad and deep, and from aixty miles from its mouth it wonld float a man-of-war. The water oyer the bar at its mouth is from eleven'to thirteen leet deep. This river cuts through the mountain the one branch being the Montezuma, and coming out of the vajlej ot Mexico, and tbe ether is tbe San Louis de Potosi, and comes oct of the state of that name. From the mouth of thla river to tbe cnt through the mountain it wonld constitute a fine national boundary. From tbe point of intersection of tbe river and mountain the boundary should be the great chain of the mountain and ' northwardly. It is on its eastern face a great chain of brown basaltic rock, from 6,000 to 10,000 feet high, witb a perpendicular eastern face, and utterly bare of vegetation of any sort on tbe summit and aide. From tbe Pannco river to Saltillo, a distance of about 600 miles, ttere

are but two small and narrow passes, only capable of allowing a alngle mule to pass.

and these passes are mgn up on tne muuutain. The flrat of these passe, going north, Is known aa tbe 8anta Barbara pus; the second ia at Victoria. Fortify ibese passes and a single company of artillery could protect them against any force which could come against them. At Saltillo, in front of which ia tbe battle field of Bnena Vista, the great road from the capital of Mexico passes to the north. THIS PAPS rORTIPED, A REGIMENT could hold It against any .ordinary force. Victoria, situated at tbe base of the mountain and nearly equally distant from Tamplco and Monterey, Is the capital of Tamaulipas, or was in 1847. Monterey is tbe capital of New Leon. , From Saltillo the line should form tbe main chain of mountains noithwest until it intersects our present boundary line. It would cut tbe states of Cohabuila and Chihuahua. This waathe boundary that President Polk was most anxious to have established when we bad conquered all Mexico, and which he would have established but for embarrass ment a I need not here advert to. To establish this great natural boundary as our national one is the only permanent settlement of the Texas border troubles which ia possible. Tbe writer marched over this country during the Mexican war and has a personal knowledge of what be baa written. Mexico bas given us constant cause of war for the past ten years. I do now favor declaring war against her. But if she is sincere in saying she can net control tbe population I her two cortnern Doraer states u Be comes a necessity for our government to Ukb nofiseasion of the territory to this great natural boundary, and ourselves govern M control this turbulent element which Bhe can not control. This would be "intmnity for .-the past and security for the vunre." If Mexico chose to consider this aa 0f ours a cause of war (as it would be), leter accept it and have it to her heart's content, if 8De wanted a few million of dollars reconcile her to the loss of territory, glvVher f 5,000,000 or even $10,000,000. This don we should have no more border trouble, Tne p4nUco river is impassable at all -mes except in lerrybo- nd for 600 miles ,Q uVjng anl. rod could pass over the mounting except r. tbe two narrow passes already-n(jiCate above. r LOVE AND LUCRE. TOO MCCH OF THE FIRST LEADS TO 8TRYC. NINB AND SUICIDE WHILE AN UNEXPLAINED ABUNBAKCK OF THB LATTER HAKES A MAN A BANK BOBBER. The Sedalla special correspondent'of the St. Louis Times, of Wednesday, says: Saturday evening there arrived in thla city a young woman about sixteen years of age. who stopped at tbe Ilgen House. She remained in her room, having her meals sent up to her, and did not attract any particular attention until about 4 o'clock yesterday, when tb6 guests who roomed near her were attracted by her screaminp: Ob, mamma never will forgive me!" They immediately went to the room and rinding the door locned broke it open and found her laying on the bed insensible. Physicians were summoned, and in a few minutes it was ascertained that she had attempted suicide by taking strychnine. Tbe glass that had contained the deadly drug waiona table empty, and near it were two letters, one to her mother and one to Frank Darwin, and also lour cr five small (ilnna ot pa par wltn DOteS Written on them to her mother; also a nhotosranb of John FrazEr, with a note fastened to it with a breast-pin, and written on the note were these words: "Ibis man is tbe cause of my death. Z e Simms, not Frazer." THIS MAN FBAZBR is said by some persons here to be her father; others eay he is her stepfather. There were also found in her room two notes written In a good business band, with no names to them. One ncte con tained the following, "You had better not stay In Sedalla. Your mother will find you. Go to Greenrldge and get on No. 4 rlannibai." The other note was 'Get on my train Monday and go to Hannibal." In tbe letter to her mctber abe stated that she bad taken ten cents worth of strychnine, and tbat she would be dead before her mother recel red the letter. Sbe 83nds her love to old friends in Boonville; tells ber mother where sbe wants to be boned, and also says: "Mother, live with Fraz9r." In the letter to tbe young man she says: "Litlle did you think when came over with you yesterday tbat I wouU be dead to day, and. altnoogh I am dead, you know I loved you, etc." In neither the letter to ber mother nor to the young man, does she give any reasons tor taking the poison. IJotn leiters are signed Zoe Frazer. Three doctors re mained with her all nlgnr. she Is alive up to this hour, but with little prospects of recovery. THB HUNTINGTON BANK BOBBEBT. B. F. Keeny, who resides about six miles from this city, was arrested Saturday night, charged with being connected with tbe Hnntlngton, Virginia, bank robbery, He will be taken to Virginia immediately. It is well known here that Eeeny received $3,000 by express from his brother John B. Keeny, of Sewell Station, W. Va., a short time after the robbery, and it is stated by the officers ot the Huntington Bank tbat John B. Keeney ia a very poor man. Tbe letters from him found at bis brother's the night of tbe arrest all confirm that fact, for in tne very Utter he wrote about what a hard time he had, and he wanted his brother to loan him small amounts. Mr. B. F. Keeny has told several different stories about the money, but does not deny that I be received it. He it sited to your reporter yesterday that they could not make him tell where the money came irom, and be never would tell. The important question wits the officer here is, "Where is the money?" K'teny bas a bank account in our city, but he never deposited tbat f 8,000 here, and the omcers nave not been able to find it. The collection of military costumes In the Artillery Museum, Paris, formed by M. Leclerc, Is complete. It will soon be opened to the public These costumes, thirty-two in all, are mounted on life-size lay figures. Tney comprise the French military dresses from Cnarlemagne to Louis the Thirteenth. M. Leclero proposes to search further back into the history of military costumes, and to unite the dif ferent lorms ot armor which have been successfully in nre in France during re mote times; afterward to take up again tbe history of military costume at tbe reign of Louis the Thirteenth, where he is now left it, and to continue 11 to tne pre S3nt time. Such a museum will be of great service to artists, who will find ma terials tor atudy of a kin

'THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

Spirited Political Address the Sixth Commandment, on SCOBEY'S SERMON. BKLXVXBBD BKFOBB THB HBNDBICKS CLUB LAST EVENING A 8XVERB ARRAIGNMENT OF THB PARTI OF POWBR AND PLUNDER. The meeting of the Hendricks Club last nlzht was well attended, and one of the pleasanteat and moat profitable that it has yet held. Mr. Nlchol took the chair, and Immediately introduced Colonel Scobey, of Greenaburg, who had been invited to address the club. Colonel Scobey Is a very peculiar speaker, and has a style peculiarly his own. He deals with facts and figures, but has auch a happy way of presenting them that a listener never tires. He has a habit of repeating whatever he sys, but each time in a little different way, using new words, so that the flnett shades of meaning are clearly brought out. He will undoubtedly be one of tbe best stump speakers tbe democracy will have to send forth daring tbe coming campaign, and they will ccrtaUny not fail to keep him constantly employed. He said he appeared with some diffidence, because he bad not been making any political speeches aa jet tbia campaign, and be hardly knew what to talk about. He understood tbat the fiaancial question had bren discussed before the club, and be would not tsuch upon that question upon which he was very radical. A gentleman with whom I waa talking this even ing said that when a man pretended to preach be usually selected a tcxt, and be suggested tbat I take tbe sixth commandment, "THOU SHALT SOT STEAL." The republicans held a state convention in thla city February 22, and adopted a platform which la about as long as the first twenty-eight chapters of Genesis, from which I will read. But flrat I will nctice Judge Martlndale's speech after taking ihe chair as president of the convention. He said: " We have among us here today many who started with the republi can parly but who, irom tome cause or other, saw proper to look to other quar ters for their allegiance and have in the last few months not been sympathizing with the success of tbe party. We hail tnelr return nere to-asy." i was pre and I wondered who he meant. Diu,enjean the liberal republlcats? I thougt OI Mr. Harrison, and Morgan, of Col. Alleutiad Knox and many others, of Col. Gray, oi Rudolph, but I did not find tbat they bad turned to the fold of the faithful. They hre operating with yoo and me. The first thing in the resolutions I will call your attention to I find In the seventh resolution: 14 Wo believe that in conducting the civil service men should be selected for office on account oi their qnalificatlons. integrity, etc., and not for mere pattlsan purposes." The platform is lull of such declarations. They fay: "We demand that the government of tbe United Ststes and of this state,, shall be administered with tne strictest economy consistent with tbe public safety." In the fifteenth resolutien they eay that when the republican par:y obtained possession of the government in 1S61 the annual expenditures were greater than the re ceipts and a large amount ot treasury note were issued to make up tbe deficiency. The credit of bo party w below par. yet tbo lepublicaa parly has so conducted rioanciai maueis mat in aaauion 10 ordinary expenses over ?500,O0d,O0O of the public debt has been paid. He referred to Van Baren' administration, which was Lurlod trom power because of its corruption. Then a certain Swertzkcpf was a defaulter for fJ0,000. Now the republicans wouldn't pay any attention to that at all. Bat what about tbe defalcations under this deliehtful administration of Mr. Grant. You remember Hodge, who stole $400,000, who W3S IMMEDIATELY PABDONED BT GEN. GRANT; a sub-treasurer of New York stole $165,000 and a republican congress paid bia principal the whole amount out of tbe public treasury. They say Buchanan's adminls tration was fearfully extravagant and corrupt. I have here a political bible pre pared by one of their men, your own townsman, John C. New. lwill take from this report, and compare a demo cratic administration with the last year of tfce republican administration of Gen. Grant. I told you of van Burn and ct Buchanan. I will take the last year of tbe administration of each of these: First. Civil service expenses, 1839, 82,116,000; in I860, 56,000,000; in 1874, 517,340,000. 11 ere is a great stretch ot republican economy. Second. Foreign Intercourse.in 1839 cost f987.000; in 1860, 51,146,000; in 1874, $3,195,000. Third. Miscellaneous in 1839 cost $2,621,000; in 1850, $20,708,000; in 1874, $66,024,000. That is a specimen of tbe economy of the republican party. The cost of tbe military establishment I will take next. At these periods the country was in a state of profound peace: In 1839 it cost $3,916,000; in 1860, $16,472,000; in 1874, $42,459,985 79. Now in 1839 the frontiers needed ten times tbe protection they did in 1S74. I thought the Increase from nine to sixteen millions pretty large in twenty years, from 1839 to 1860, but tbe area of tbe country had also greatly increased, but what is the explanation oi the increase in fourteen years, from $16,000,000 to $42,000.000? The navy in 1839 cost $6,182,000 ; in 1860, $11,574,000; In 1874, ?30,933,120 02. It cost three times as much to float tbe navy under Mr. Grant tbat it cost under tbe most extravagant democratic administration. Now, what were the net expenditures at these periods? In 1839, $37,614,936 15; in 1860, $60,010,062 58; in 1874, $194,217.210 27. Tfaess figures do not include one single cent of expenditures on account of the publio debt, interest paid on pensions to the soldiers. But they charged Buchanan with collecting a large revenue and still LEAVING TUE COUNTRY IS DEBT. Now I will just refer to Mr. New 'a re port again. The largest amount ever collected by a democratic administration was in 1870. The amount $76,844,000,. Mr. Grant la bleeding the people out of $288,000,000. Mr. New's report also shows tbat when tbe democrats went out of power. there were $32,979,580 78 in the treasury of tbe United States. This decent party, moral partv, civil service, reform party, enters upon this campaign with tbese absolute falsehoods. These figures may be dry, but I have referred to them because we ought to have them at our tongues. and so tbat when they come before os making auch false charges we may be able to deny and relute them. Tbey say they want honest men appointed to office, and that when they find & thief tbey punish nlm. I will give you a few nota ble examples to show you how they practice what, tbey proless.

and with all tbe thievinzs, ateaEngs around Washington, and when acquitted of the indictment for complicity in the iwhlaky frauds he was returned to bia high and trusted position at tbe waite bouse. Richardeon was picked np and made secretary ot the treasury, and when he had to be kicked out, instead of being disgraced he waa appointed to a judgship, tbat he might enjoy the good things of this 11 e forever more. Belknap! You have beard ot him. He is GOING THROUGH THB CRUCIBLE .

All I want is that the con vention will nominate a ticket and adept a platform on which we can all stand and we will be successful. Don't let us com promise anything; give us the platfoim we bad two years ago. l would even go further. Repaal tbe resumption law. blot out the national banka and make the greenbacka receivable for every dne paysole out of tbe public money. After CcL Scobey had finished his speech, Mr. Ben. Smith, being in tbe audience, was called out and made a few remarks which were welcomed. STRONG- SENTIMENTS. "BAB" AND LUCKEY LET LOOSE THEIR FEELINGS. THEY DAMN THE NEWSPAPERS AS THE CAUSE OF THEIR BEING BOUNCED FROM THB WHITE HOUSB. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald writes: It appeara that Babcock acd Luckey, late private secretaries to th? president, are not so much the victims of tbe whisky ring as of the Independent press and tbe good ot the reEublican party. When Babcock and uciey returned victorious from St. Louis they naturally expected a cordial and warm reception at the White House. They arrived here Sunday morning. Babcock was very much wearied and be repaired at once to bis residence. Locke y, who lived near the executive mansion, after greeting his family and ec joying the luxury of a bath, proceeded at once to the White Uoue, so that he misht Bee the president before the latter weLt to church. He entered tbe office of the executive and wont about his usual work of opening the mail. Very soon the president came in, and the enthusiastic Luckey became eloquent in relating the news ol tbe trial, the defeat of Briatow, Wilson and Dyer, and tbe triumph ot Babcock, Storrs and Attorney General Pierrepont. Every now and then Luckey would pause in tbe narration nd look up at tbe president as if he was WAITING FOR THE AMENS APPROVAL. The face of the executive, however, mm not "a book wherein meu may read stringe thoughts." It was, on the contrary, as Imperturbable as a piece of marble, and his eyes appeared to have found something immensely Interesting in the appearance of his boots. He thrust bis bands deep down in his pocket and stood like a statue. The loyal Luckey, nothing daunted, proceeded with what he supposed was an interesting and welcome ttory, thinking that after awhile bis auditor would become enthused, and would shout, " Well done, my boy," or some such encouraging phrase. The' president, however, listened for about ten minute?, and after yawning once or twice acd pulling out bis watch, walked off without Baying a word. Luckey was somewkat amazsd, but he attributed the singular conduct of Grant to everything except lack ot Interest in tbe Bibcock case. On Sunday evening Babcock called upon the president, and not baying seen Luckey In tbe meantime, btgan to tell the executive about the trial. Babcock noticed that his meeting with tbe president was not as warm as he expected. He did not embrace cr fall upon his reck and kiss him, but the victorious secretary attributed tbe president's coolness to THE EFFECT OF REV. DR. NEWMAN'S SERMON. He had observed that on Sunday evenings, after attending upon Newman's sermons, the president was always more or less depressed. The story of the trial proceeded, but the president failed to manliest any interest in it or to make any reply. He smoked one cigar and then lighted another, without even offering Babcock bis cigar case. It sDon dawned upon tbe powerful mind of Babcock that he possibly was boring the president, but he thought the administration was to some extent interested in tbe trial at St. Louis, and he kept on. Still there was no sign or indication from tbe president. Babcock was now certain he was boring him, and, cutting his story short, put on his hat and lelt. Monday morning Luckey and Babcock were at tbeir posts, as usual, in the White House. Tbey found Col. rred. Grant and Ulysses S. Grant, fr., who is familiarly known as "Buck," opaning the mall. Babcock and Luckey received the congratulations of their lrlends aa they called, and cave out tbat they were to remain on deck. There was some aurrjrhe and a good deal of murmuring among the republican politicians, but nobody sunposed it would amount to anything if Babcock and Luckey AND MADE UP THEIR MINDS TO "STICK." Presently there was a message to goto the Senate. The president said when it was ready he would like "Buck" to take it. This rather surprisad the St. Louis heroes. Atjer a time the president called Luckey into his room, and while looking at his boots said. "I think I will have 'Back open the mail hereafter." Luckey made no reply. Grant then said, "I think I will have 'Buck' act as my private secretary hereafter." Luckey now realized what was the matter, and inquired whether he had done anything to " offend the . president. No," said Grant, "nothing, but tbe newspapers will keep pitching into you and me about the St. LouIb trial it you remain here, and it wont be pleasant for either ot us." Luckey Intimated that his leaving tbe White House at this particular time would be taken by tbe people as a reflection upon him lor his part in the St. Louis business. "No it wont," said the president, "lor to show that I have "nfidenoe in you I will give you a place in the lnteiior department." LUCKEY BOWED HIMSELF OUT. It was now Babcock's turn, and as tbe president called him in, Luckey winked at him knowingly, aa much aa to say: "Now for your bead." "general," said the president, "these newspapers are making a great howl about your return to duty at the white house, and there are some of our friends who think your presence here will Injure the party and may do us great immediate harm in New Hampshire and Connecticut. 1 think, under the circum

stances, you had better move np to the office of commissioner of pnblio buildings and groanda at Twenty-first atreet and Pennsylvania avenue." The general made no reply, bot returned to bis room and gatbered up bis papers. "Well, Bab," said Luckey, as soon as he discovered the nature of tbe president's interview with his friend, "our St. Louis business ain't much of a victory alter all, eh, old boy?" "No," said Babcock. "damn these newspapers; they have played the devil with us." MISS CROCKER'3 CLAIM. A JURY ALLOWED HXR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR AFFLICTED AFFECTIONS. The New York Sun says: Miss Gertrude F. Crocket's suit for breach ol promise against Southwlck Hibbard was before a sheriff's Jury last evening for the purpose of fixing the amount-ot damages to be awarded. Miss Crocker, in the spring of 1874, was emplojed in Madame Demorett's dressmaking establishment. On her way to and from her mother's reel dence she passed tbe real estate establishment of young Hibbard's father,, where tbe young man was employed. "Iusedtobserve," said Miss Crocker, "tbat ss I passed he was always at the door or on the sidewalk in front of the c flics, and ttat be noticed me particularly. At first I did net take any notice of him. Then he sent me theater tickets, and I sent them back, telling hlna I couldn't use them. From that time we recognized each other, and sjon alter ward he spoke to me ss 1 was getting into a car, and every night he waa ready to accompany me to the car, and in tbe morning he would walk up with me to tbe store. He proposed on November 3, 1874. He asked me if I thought enough of him to become bia wife. IT WAS BATHER UNEXPECTED, but I consented. We wore to have been married in April last, but it was concluded to wait until J une, and then we were to go )o the Shenandoah valley, he eaid. He opposed my going out at all, and I never did go except when I went witb him. In May young Hibbard's ardcr began to cool, and Mrs. Crocker, calling him from the parlor into the basement one evening, took bim to task. He told her he could cot marry Gertrude because his father would disown him if be did, and he could not support her. Then there was an exciting scene, in the midst of which the young man hurriedly took bis leave. This suit was instituted for $10,000 damages. No deferss was Interposed, and default being taken, it only remained for a jury to assess the damages. Mrs. Crocker test. tied tbat young Ilibbard intimated tbat he bad properly. He called constantly after tbe engagemett. She couldn't begin to count tbe number of times be called, as he neery boarded there. He always made it a point to be there and stay over night at every snow fctorm. The wedding was to be at tbe house, as he thought it was beat to marry Wflia the COURTING WAS DONE. ' The marriage was mt off so thet they might take a tr'p to the mountains, but the mountains were a long time coming. Laughter. She bad laid out $300 for the marriage, not including his board bill and

coffee bill. In May he absented himself for two weeks, and when be returned be was very cool to Gertrude. She called him down stairs and gave him to understand ebe would not see ber daughter made a lool of. She raised such a storm about his ears that he was glad to retreat into a pouring rain storm outside. Then she followed and compslled him to come back. Gertrude was weeping and heait-brcken. He sat down beside ber trembling in every limb and white as a sheet. Be said be would be there the following week. "And that's the last I ever set eyes on him till now," added Mrs. Crocker, Impressively. Tbe jury gave Miss Croker $2,000 damages. THE FATE OF A FRAUD. BIBLICAL HISTORY AS APPLIED TO THE - JOURNAL AND ITS PARTY, , The Louisville Courier-Journal says that tbe Indianapolis Journal is trying to re store confidence in tbe ranks ot ita party in Indiana, and makes tbe following extraordinary assertion: "No political party of this or any other country ever sprung irom nocuer motives or was based on higher principles than the republican party. To these who have acted witb it irom its crigin, the verv name has an inspiring sound and is full of grand memories. It was bom, not made. It had its origin In . the insolvence and aggressiveness of the old slave power, the corruption and incompetence of . the democracy, and tbe necessity of giving a higher life to tbe nation. It was tbe embodiment of the mcst advanced and progressive ideas of tbe time. What republican ot the middle age can forget tbe enthusiasm which prevaded its ranks in 1856, and what a gallant thougti unsuccessful fight ii made iu tbat year. Still more memorable is the popular uprising ot 1860, when the conscience of the country a serted lteelf, and tbe people in their power declared tbe voice of God through the republican party." There la an OLD 8CRIPTUBE NARRATIVE WHICH tells us that Herod Agrippa went to Caesarea to attend the games given in honor of Claudius. While there he aroee npon his gilded throne and delivered an oration to the Tyreans and Sidoniacs, who exclaimed, "It is the voice of God and not ot man." The narrative further tells us tbat en angel of God smote Herod and he perished a few years afterward, bis body being literally eaten np by worms. The same fate la oveitakiog the republican paity, which the Journal says bas "given a higher life to the nation," and lathe "voice of God. It bas been smitten with corruption to the core for its presumption. It haa debauched tha nation and elevated robbery into a virtue. It bas become a ynonym for hypocrisy and fraud. It appears to-day naked and shameful, and there are yet newspapers, like the Journal, which respond to ita maudlin utterances, "it is the voice of God." t 1 English language and literature, says the London Athenaeum, are exercising, at the present time, a marked Influence on the intellectual Iceland. Not only ia English studied by the generality of the people more than any other Earcpean language, when we except the classical languages and Danish, but Shakespeare and Byron seem to be tbe chief attraction. M. Jochumson has published a translation of "Macbeth," and another of Byron'a "Manfred," both of considerable merit; the same writer tas ready for press a version of "Hamlet" and of "Ro:teo and Juliet," and M. Steingrimr ThorbteinspD, Iceland's greatest living poet. haa prepared a masterly one of "KiDg Lear," and of several ol Sbelley'a lyrical poems, of halt a dozen of which he baa already published translations, the "Skylark" among the rest.
