Chicago and the empire! Grant is already Duke of America. THK-Keputlican cry is Grant and the empire. Eis; Yau, a pig-tailed, almond-eyed celestial, has been naturalized In Wisconsin, and the other day cast bis first vote. JIkpublican papers talk a great deal about organizing against Grant, but still the Grant boom maintains its po&lUon in advance of other Republicans. It should be remembered that the Republicans violated the law and perpetrated frauds to adopt the amendments. Let the guilty parties be punished. The Madison Star wants to make Colonel Streight governor because he was captured. Why cot take a colonel who, instead of being captured himself, captured eomebody else? Let every voter keep an eye on Cocgrcss, and mark the men who refuse to vote for ilea paper. Every man who refuses to is an enemy to the people at Urge, and should be shelved as soon es possible. It is no surprise to see the New Yoik Methodist' booming for Grant. It would te causa for wonder if any other denomination showed as much interest in politics, and there would be talk about it. The fact is now well settled that we are to have an unprecedented influx of foreign population during the current year. All the natiocs of Europe are contributing to the tidal wave of humanity that is rolling In upon our shorts. It is stated 3Ö.CG0 immigrants have arrived at the port of New York since the 1st of January more than three times the number for a corresponding period in 1879. There id not much dacger that an inscrutable Providence will again altlxt and curse the country with a Republican presidect, but if euch a calamity is to befall it, the Lord will be merciful if it should come under Grant rather than Blaine or Sherman, both of whom are miscreants of unques tioned Infaray, whose CDmbiced honesty, if it were fire, would net suffice to light a cigarette. It is said of Grant that he repents or his former mistakes, but neither Blaine or Sherman would repent of their rascalities, if, aa they deserve, they were lashed to a Delaware whipping past and undergoing the penalties which the law provides in euch cases. The sketch we publish this morning of Hon. Franklin Landers will be read with great interest by the people of Indiana. It is copied from the advance sheets of anew woik now ia press, and toon to be given the public by the Western Biographical Fubliyhing company, entitled, 4,The American Biographical History of Eminent and Silfmads Men." Toe sketch is a pen picture of one who occupies a prominent place in the public eye, and who has made nis mark in the f&rmicg and business interests cf the State, and who has also been, and it, an Important factor in the politics of Indiana. Mr. L inders impresses himself upon everything he touches. Ha is a man of positive parts, and a It-aier in the true cense of the word. The sketch we publish to-day brings out his leading characteristics in bold relief, as those who know him will readily admit. It will be real with interest by the people of the State, and will do much to encourage youce men in their struggle for a foothold ; in life. THZ INDIANA DEMOCRACY HARMONIOUS. The fileodsof Mr. English will probably be m urprlaeU to learn that the entire Democratic eld, so far as this (State Is concerned, is preei n pted by Messrs Hendricks acd McDonald. J .idiaimp i. -jour nai. - The Journal had just as well suspend its efl -rts to get up a quarrel between leading In liana Democrats, lor It is not going to bs sue :essful. It is the proud boast of the India a Democracy that there ia harmony and go 1 feeling between the prominent men of the prty. This is entirely true of Mr. Hen dricks, Mr. English and Mr. McDonald, who are not only gaod Democrats but Jjfelo friends. The extensive publication of the 1 dcgraphtcal saetch of Mr. Eoglish ref bar ad to so much by the Journal, was certainly ot an unusual, auspicious orcensura,le iriiniactioo; if so, most of! our public t men eas in a bad way aboat this time, when b.t?ashtcal sketched ara o abundant. Mr. EtgKbwasa long time prominently connected wjtb great historical event?, and if be f;elptoi of his record it is a natural and prai twoi-ih y feeling. It is an honorable pride in whichtTAT Indianian might justly share. Mr. E-giisn i'M openly proclaimed, a ways and everywhere, that he is not a candidate for preikUnt, arad would cot allow his name to go before the co oventfon io antagonism to Governor Hen :lcks and u that ha will favor the nomination of Governor Hendricks aa lone u it a supported by the

Democracy ol his State. As ta the rice presidency, be is not only not a candidate for it, but It is by no means certain he would accept it even if the nomination were tendered without bis asking. The editor of the Sentinel happens to know that Mr. Knglreh has all the time been of the opinion that if Mr. Tilden is nominated for president, Mr. Hendricks ought to be nominated for vice president. Neither is Senator McDonald aspiriog for the presidency, and he certainly would prefer his present position to tfce vice presidency.- There is, therefore, not the slightest clashing between these gentlemen, and the Journal need not dis tress itself about divisions in the Dasso oratio family. It will have, quite enough of that io look after in its own household. After March 4, lSffi., Hendricks may be in the presidential chair, McDonald in t.ie Senate, and English at the head of the "treasury department, which would be quite satisfactory to the Indiana Democracy. How would the Journal like It?

BUTTER. Francis D. Moalton, president of the International Dairy Fair association, has sent oat for signatures blank petitions to Congress, prayiDg againtt the abominable work ef manufacturing butter from iDgredients the mention of which is sufficient to create the most profound disgust The petition reads as follows: To the Honorable tbe Senate and House of Representatives of the Unite! Ktates: Your petitioners, dairymen, farmers, manufacturer) of and dealers In butter end cheese . in the United States, respectfully represent tnat serious injury is oeing lnnrctea upon me dairy industry of this country, aud that gross Imposition Is being perpetrated upon consumers in America and Europe, by the manufacture and sale of a compound kuown as oleomargarine a mixture of fat Mlth butter or milk aDd generally sold under the name ol butler, and nrg3 the passage of a law Prohibiting the admixture of fats with butter mtite, or cream. Prohibiting tbe use of all coloring; matter in tbe fat of animals designed for food purposes, ä Frohlbting the salJ oleomargarine as butter, and tbe use of the word butter in marling, branding or selling any other -article than natural batter.

Prohlbtt'Dg the exportation of oleomarearine, whether invoiced as oleomargarine C3SQ

utter, Dutterine, oleomargarine on, or unuer any other name. Prohibiting the use of ingredients other than the caul fat of healthy betf cattle in the manufacture of any artielt of human food. 1'laclngthe manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, and other admixture of fat or grease offered for sale for food under the supervision of the National board of health, to prevent the use of refuse or diseased fats In their manufacture, and such other enactments as are neceisiry ia the premises for the full protection of all producers sud consumers And your petitioners will ever pray, etc. There are a number of establishments in the country engaged in the manufacture of oleomargarine and butterine.an admixture of animal fat with milk, which is churned and so manipulated as to have the appearance of butter, and as such is sold to the people. It j must of necessity be an offensive compound fat best, and when it is considered that al most anything in the shape of grease can bs used, there are few etomichs that can stand the strain of digesting' the offensive mess. Strange to say, the manufacturers of this nasty commodity, a sort of ointment, which ought to be used exclusively for healing sores, have tbe impudence to ask Congress to sanction their business and give them license to sell their dugusting stuff as batter. Against this proceeding the people of the United States ought to protest with all the emphasis they can command. The demand now is to inorease the mamfacture of good, pure, healthy dairy butter, and not to sanction the manufacture and sale o! a compound that bears about the same relation to butter that the flesh of a pole cat bears to that of the best beef c flared in the market Instead of sanctioning the sale of spurious food commodities, Congress, if it feels called upon to do anything, should Impose tbe severest penalties upon those who would palm off upon the community such stuff as oleomargarine for butter. We are glai to know that the people all over the country are wakirg np to the importance of tha subject, and that6teps will be taken to caution tbe public against the use of soap-grease butter. The form of the petition we print may be ued by those interested in the subject and Indiana should forward such aprotcs' to Congress as will command attention. Wbat is done should be done promptly. The New York Journal of Commerca, in commenting upon tbe oleomargarine bueiut&s, rays: As long ax there are dishonest grocers and stupid buyers and a large profit to b j made by palming off wheel grease for good table butter, the trade will tnri e, Let tbe public be told In their newspapers who does not keep oleomargarine for le, and they will go there for their butter. No man is so pour as to want the loathsome imitation for the real article at any price. Tbe human stomach revolts at the very thought of It. It can only be oUp. ted of to the Ignorant and unsuspecting. As for the laws against oleomargarine, theycaa not bo made too stringent. It la very pleasant to raad occasionally of the arrest, trial, conviction and punishment of those who are robbing the poor acl tampering wl'.h the public health ia tbls insidious way. Eat a still better method of putting down tbe fraud is that adopted unanimously by the butter and cheese dealers of Ht. Louis, and also by the Philadelphia Produce Exchange. They pledge themelves to have no business relations whatever with persons who make, buy or sell the detested coaa pound. The merchants of Indianapolis should adopt the policy of St Louis and Philadelphia merchants, and see to it that this ointment-butter this combination of soapgrease and milk is not sold to the people tor butter. ULlINE I BLOH A EEPrjs-ICAN POINT 07; VIEW. Blaine, of Maine, for whom, it is said, Indiana Republican delgstea to the Chicago convention will cast their votes, ia the same sort of a hairpin now that he was in 1873, erd what he was then high Republican au tborify ought to be conclusive. On June 8 the Cniogo Tribune, in discussing Blaine's unfitness for president, put forth its views as follows (we copy from the Chicago Inter-Ocean): We will assume that the friends of Blaine shall rapture tbe Cincinnati convention, shall take tbe responsibility lor the In t-grity of tbe operations In the Spencer rifle coutiacu, la the Little Rock and Arkansas raUroal stocks and bonds.. in Jay Cooke's Northern Pacific wildcat operations: Wbat then? At once Mr. Bialoe'a personal and official recotd will be the Is ue. His letters, speculations, and his book of sIes become the Republican platform; his sales or bogus railroad securities become the evidences of the absence of any connection with Jobbery; hJs own boasted decisions as apeaker, whereby he) "saved" tha legislation which was necessary

to give a sufficient seeming value to the bonds to pat them on the market, become the Republican evidences of the reform labors of their candidate, and, when bankrupt and overwhelmed by the demands for tbe return of their money by those who purchased the selees scrip from him, the intervention of the Pacific Rallrpai company, by paying him enough to pay atl his debts, will become 'proof" that there la no bond, or sympathy, or interest between their candidate aud the vast corporations who are now asking from the Government several hundreds of millions of dollars of subsidy. It will be nsetess to try to evafte that iste. In every joint discission the Republicans will have to defend lllaine's railroad votes, Blaine's reports of sales, Blaine's letters, Blaine's appeals for money, and Tom Scott's or somebody's payment of $til.0O0 te enable him to pay kls debts. The Republican speakers and pre will be kept with their noses on tbe grindstone and forever maintaining the preprlety of electing a man to reform abuses whose whole record is mixed up with an active participation in the abuses whksh are to be reformed.

In the same paper is aa editorial a column long attempting to show conclusively: 1. That Blaine, in spite of his explanation, was mixed np with the Spencer ritte contract. It says: A It seems that Mr. Blaine admits in his own letters that he received tbe stock without paying for it, and that ke drew dividends on v hat stock all the time he was in Congress and while aw-lNtlng the company in securing legislator to avoid paying their taxes. 2. That he was mixed up in fictitious stock of the Northern Pacific railroad, and that he tried to dispose of this stock for (5,000 ca-h. 3. That he undertook to "job or dispose of I15J.00U" stock of the Little Rock and Fort Scott railway "for cash," aud that "he received as a commission for selling, $.S2,500 in first mortgage bonds ami 130,030 In land grant boiids, without paylrgany money himself " "The commission or gratuity received by Mr. Blaine," continues the Tribune, "would appear to have come from bis paving, while speaker of the House, the bill which renewed the land grant after it had lapsed." 4. That the Little Rock enterprise having gone wrong, Caldwell relieved him of 75,1)00 of the bonds by getting Tom Scott to put them off on the Union Paciaa company for KH.000 la in its issue of the 9th the Tribune announces that the "prop has been, knocked from ander Mr. Blaine's explanation," and says that the letters read by him in the House "prove more than ever was charged against him." On the loth, the Tribune grows still more malicious, and says that his co-laborers In Congress have exposed his record. "They knew him," says the Tribune, "as the man who had voted for, or failed to oppose, every subsidy." "They knew him as the man who had voted for the audacious robbery by which the Government lien for its 8til,'0'.),t"00 advauce to the Pacific railways was changed from a firat to a second mortgage. "They knew hlra as a lobbyist before he entered Congress, seeking contracts for the supp yof arms. "They knew hlra in Congress, and while as speaker, as the Inside friend of wildcat corporations; concerned In legislation to benefit such corporations; ruling as speaker to save their bills, and as claiming rewards for his official actions: as engaged in selling the worthless bonds of such corporations, receiving large gratuities therefor, as conlessed In his letters; and, fiaally, when pecuniarily involved, gettlLg the Pacific Railroad company, as it seems almost certain , to give him 161,000 cash for wbat was notoriously not worth 61,000 cents. These letters are all Mr. Blaine's his own record of his own operations as a Jobber In contracts, In railroad legislation, and wildcat securities." It may be possible to paint a blacker rec jrd, but it will require labor. The foregoing is the Tribune's estimate of Bliine, and the Inter-03an givas it fresh puV.iclty. While this work is going forward to crush Blaine, other R 'publican papers are equally distinguished in settlnj forth Grant's noto rious iniquities whlla president, and John Sherman In other qiarters fs pronounced equally unfit for office. A beautiful set, indeed! Indiana Republicans are welcome to look upon the Blaine picture, as published by the Tribune and republished by the Inter-Ooean. (JENEHAL OXES. Longkkii-ow la said to be worth tl5U,0(XI. A hoy 10 years old tramped all the way lrom Iowa to San Francisco. General Lew Wallace is writing a novel, the scene ol which is laid in Damascus. It Is now said that both Mr3. Grant and her son Ulysses droy the report that the latter Is ergsged to b3 married to Miss Flood, the daughter of the California millionaire. The late Martha Somervllle, danghterof the famous Mary Somervllle, has bequeathed 512,5( 0 to the British Lifeboat institution, for the purpose of forming and maintaining on the coast a lifeboat station in memory of her mother. Joiksk Black Is quoted assaying that bis articles on Buchanan's administration and the early days of 1 he war are not drawn from a diary. "1 never kept a scratch of a pen," he declares. "Idiaw upon in y memory exclusively for facts In regard to those days." Ex-Misistkr Wasiibcbke's personal appearance Is matter of comment in diveis newspapers. It Is solemnly stated that he wears "a stylish Prince Albert coat buttoned closely about his fine figure," that he Indulges In "loose morocco boots," and that he "twirls a little gold-headed rattan cane." The Louisville Sunday Argus says: Hon. W. II. English, of Indiana, Is attracting general notice everywhere as a man whim the next National Democratic convention may perhaps favor as one of its candidates, whether for firit or second place. Mr. English's record Is auch that he wculd no doubt bring great strength to the party. The "English" people will probably be heard from at the Jane convention. General Beauregard writes to Captain Eads in regard to De Lesseps' project tlist "H Is next to impossible to make a reliable estl mate of .such a work. If this estimate be 1168,000,000, exclusive or Interest daring the construction, It is reasonable to suppose that tbe total cost, including Interest, will reach double that amount, on which no dividend could be declared to the stockholders for several generations to come." The New York Trlbuae'a staff correspondent writes from Wilmington, Del.: "Mr. Bayard Is not accounted a wealthy man. Ills townsfolk think he la worth, psrhapi, 1100,000. He hss aa Income they say, from his Investments, his salary as senator, his attorneyship of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, and his law practice In vacation, of about t2J,000. He lives la a large, plain, old-fashioned mansion, which he bought a few years ago. It stand ou tho crest of a ridge aboat a mile from the principal business street, is surrounded with spacious g round, and commands a superb view of tbe city, tbe Dataware river, and the fertile country to the southward as far as Newcastle. : He has had 12 children, of whom nine are living. He is very much of a home man, Is attached

to his family, fond ol books and a quiet methodical way of living, and Is rather cold, though always courteous, to people outside of his immediate circle of friends. His political influence in tbe State la strongest in his own county of Newcastle. The other two counties are dominated by the Baulsburys, who are not particularly friendly to him." , A United States senator says that he would not give a fig for a girl who could not answer these que'ion: '-How long must a hen set before chickens are hatched? How lyng does a turkey set before hatching a brood? How old must chickens be before they are fit to broil T At wbat age m.y young pigs be roasted ?" He has trained bis daughter on these points, and is proud to say that she can pass tbe examination successfully. St. Patrick's hall, which closed the Dublin castle season, was a great success. The lord lieutenant with the lady mayoress, the Duchess of Marlborough wearing a bunch of shamrocks presented to her by her Limerick sab-committee with tbe chamberlain, Mr. Lambart, and Lady Randolph Churchill with the lord mayor, opened the ball by tripping a country dance together down St. Patrick's, to

the strains of the Irish national air. Charles C. Frost, a learned shoemaker, has just died at Brattleborough, Vt.. at the age of 71 years. He began to take morning walks through tbe fields on account of his ill health, and so became Interested ia botany. He sent to London for a standard work on botany, and when he found that the work was in Latin he bought a Latin grammar and began the study of that ancient tongue. He mastered Latin French and German, and received the degree of A. M. from Dartmouth and Mlddlebury Colleges. In botany he was a leadlug authority. The nineteenth annual meeting in connection with the Home for Lost and Starving Djgs was held recently in London, Colonel Burdette in the chair. The report stated that during the past year the Institution bad found homes for upward of 5,20 dogs, being &3 moie than In the previous year. New compartments had recently been made at the home for additional accommodation, at a cost altogether of about S00, all of which had been paid for by the balance from last year, except 2U0. Joseph K. Emmett, the former negro minstrel, and now the prosperous actor of German American character, has accumulated a laige fortune within a few years. He has bonght a place on the Hudson, near Albany, and begun the erection of a magnificent residence. There is a large music room, famished with an Immense orchestrion; the parlor is modeled after that of an English manor, with timbered roof; every room In the main story Is an octagm, with a bay window and balcony. A feature of the grounds will be a big windmill of tbe Dutch sort, which will pump water for a picturesque cascade. The widow of a once prominent tobacconist of Petersburg, Va has Just received a check for between l-'M and 1130, under circumstances somewhat remarkable. About 15 years ago, while her husband was ia business, he so:d some tobacco to a merchant in Bremen, who subsequently failed and died without settling his indebtedness. A son of that itercbaut, Mr. II. Laiuotte, recently advertised that he would pay all claim) against his father's estate, and through Messrs. Bonner, Osterloot & Co., of Richmond, sent the full amount of his father's Indebtedness to the Petersburg merchant. The Empress Eugenie's famous pearl necklace Is now the property of one of the richest women In Europe, Countess Henckel. The empress had the pearls sold In London. One of her ladies, accompanied by two friends of the imperial widow, car rieu them to an English Jeweler, who bought them and disposed of tbem to the Countess Henckel for 2J,000 francs This lady had some ol the pearls less beautiful than the others removed, and added two other rows; one, which came from the Jewels sold by the queen of Naples, the other from the necklace of the virgin of Atocha, sold by a great Spanish personage. At present the suit of pearls belonging to the countess, earrings and brooch Included, Is worth 800,000 or 900,000 francs. It is said to be the finest set of pearls in the world. The English newspapers refer humorously to "au alliance of beer and Bib'es, bricks and mortar." There 1 a great brewer at Warrington, Sir Glibert Grtenali, who, on one side of one of his public houses, has built a school, aod on the other side a church. Somebody quotes as apropos of this queer cbntiguity the old couplet: "Wherever God erects a house of prayer, the devil builds a chspel there." This Tory brewer, they say, has taken a contract lor both. But this Is not so good as the ancient quatrain wiitten upon a church, the vaults of which were let for the 6loragd of strong drink Upon the door of this miscellaneous edifice some wag wrote: "There's a spirit above and a spirit below, A spirit of Joy and a spirit of woe; The spirit above Is the spirit divine And the spirit below is the spirit of wine.'Thi improvement of noses has become an art in this city, if a correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Enquirer is to be believe J. "A lady of my acquaintance," the writer cays, "was given by nature a nose that was II at a sort of pug, with wile nostrils. Meetiug her a few days ago, I did not at first recognize her. Ehe was immensely improved. I asked the cause. Can't you see?' she asaed. I scrutinized her face. 'Yes,' I exclaimed; 'it's your nose, cai It has grown out. Well, I never! Wha .:d It?' liar nose stool out to a proper leniti, and was as shapely as could have been desired. 'I've got aa extensor In it,' she said, 'but you musn't tell. 'What's an extensor!' 'A metal lining, or form, which I wear In my nose to give It a gool shape. I'll show It to you when we get home.' She did ahow it to me. It was simply two forms of silver, colored red on the Inner surface, to be pressed up into the nostrils. They effectually lifted the end of the nose out from the face, and were not uncomfortable or discoverable." These a: tides are further declared to be an article of common manufacture by fashionable dentists. The Georgia Republicans seem to have had quite a rumpo-i in a llltle convention held at Atlanta on Thursday. A special from Atlanta of that date says: - In the RepublUan convention, held here to-day, to select six delegates to the State convention on the 2lst, a row occurred, la which John Conley, ex-revenue collector, and son ot ex-Governor Conley, now postmaster, struck John E. Bryant, chairman of the State Executive committee, a heavy blow under the left ear with his fist. Bryant and George Conley had been calling each other liars. Bryant, who Is Blalne'ststrongest and best supporter, was defeated for delegate to the State convention. Three of tbe delegates are known to be for Sherman and one lor B'alne. The majority of the convention was composed of colored men, and they all seemed to regard Grant as being out of the race for president. They say they know that he Is not a candidate and will not bs. It seems that they have received tbls Information through some circulars of some kind. Many of them also think that Sherman, the candidate, is General Sheiman. tbe one that was here during the war. That's the way they talk. They are all for Grant, but have got Blaine or Sherman as their second choice. The idea that it bad been better for a sick man to die than to bs saved by taking the brandy prescribed for him was advocated at recent meeting in Newburyport, at which the mn who took tha brandy was pnsent That fellow mutt be awf nl unpopular with hia neighbors.

RESUME OF THE WEEK'S NEWS.

COKQKESSIOSAL AND WASH1KGTOS NOTES. The Senate on Tuesday further debated the biu to authorize a retired list for non-com missioned, officers, and the proposed agreement with tbe Utes. In the House the naval appropriation bill was reported, and the army biii was explained and discussed. Tbe Senate, in executive session, after a long discussion, rejected the nominations of exCongressman John R. Lynch and John K. Burton as Supervisors of the Census in Mississippi. In the Election Committee of the House, Mr. Manning nrged in vain that all the proceedings In the Donnelly-Washburn case shou.d be made pub:ic, and the Committee finally decided to remove the injunction of secrecy only as regarded the past. Mr Finley pub lishes a statement denying trie cnarge ihti ne wrote the anvmous letter to Mr. Springer. The Ways and Means Committee listened to argument in behalt of the bill recently Intro duced by Mr. Wood, at the request of the New York Cuamberof Commerce, providing for a change in the system of collecting customs duties. A sub-committee of the Ways and Means Committee has agreed upon a bill on the sugar rann question similar to mat proposed Dy Mr, Tucker last week. It Is claimed by those opposed to Secretary Schnrz's agreement with the Utes that tbe bill ratifying It has been so loaded down with amendments In the House CommitU e on In dian Atta Irs that it can not pass. Mr. Tburmanwason Wednesday elected to preside over the Senate la the absence of Vice president heeler. Ihe chief subjects dls cu&std were tfc proposed removal of the Sautees from Nebraska to the l'oncas' old reservation and the bill unifying the agreement with the Utes. 'Ihe latter was so amended as to make the payment ot the money to the Utes con-ingenl upon the sur render of the guilty Indians. In the House Mr. McCook offered a resolu tion calling on the Secretary of War fcr In formation regarding tbe alleged outrage at West r-oiut, but Mr. Aiken objected. The pro posed amendment to trie array bin regarding ine employment or contract surgeons was rejected and the result, was a "scene" between Messrs. Sparks and Clymtr. the former using language lor which the Republicans proposea to censure him. He ultimately, however, withdrew tne unparliamentary words. A Washington dispatch reports an Interview with Mr. Gorham, formerly Secretary of the Senate, in wich be gives his estimate of the strecgili ot tne dillcrent Republican candi dates lor the presidency, and scoffs at tbe claims of tbe friends of Messrs. Blaine and Sherman. The Senate on Thursday further discussed the bill to ratlty the agreement with the Utes. Tbe House spent neariy is entire session in Committee of the Whole in consideration of whether the amendment to the army biii forbidding the presence of soldiers at the polls was iu order. The Chairman decided the quet-tlon in the aflirmative, and was sustained by the Committee. The Sub Committee of the House Committee on fact tie Railroads voted unanimously against extending tbe time for t he com pie! i n of the Northern Pacific Road, but suspended action on tbe matter at this point, to allow further consideration of tbe subject. A caucus of the Democratic Senators was held to consider the Spofford-Kellngg contest, among other questions. A conclusion was not reached, but it is said that a majority of the iSeuators are opposed to pressing the matter to a vote at the present ses-iou. Mr. Donnelly has written a letter to tbe House Elections Committee askir g frran investigation of Mr. Springer's chaige that the ltter'8 famous anonymous letter was written with his knowledge and consent. Mr. Flnlry tel!s a correspondent that he has nothing to do with Mr. Tilden, does not want to have anything to do with him, and does not think he can be nominated. In tbe Senate, on Friday, an anima'ed debate took place on bszing arid the treatment of colored cadets at Ve6t Point, in which Messrs. Voorhees. Bruce and Hoar took the chief part. The Ute agreement was further di-cussed, and the amendment of Mr. Dawes regarding the education ot the Ute youth, and several other amendments, were adopted. The House spent the entire session in the consideration ol private bills. The nominations of Mr. An cell and of the two gentlemen associated with hiui lor the negotiation of a treaty with China have been confirmed. meeting of the Canal Committee of the House is called for to take the evidence of several gentlemen experienced In Central American matters, and it is also said that a resolution is speedily to be reported from the Foreign Affairs Committee for tbe absolute abrogation of the Bui wer C'ayton treaty. The Exodus Committee listened to testimony regarding the feeling in Kansas towaid heemlgraats. the general debate on the army bill amendment lor blading the use of soldiers as a police force at the pol.s was begun on Saturday In the House. The Democrats refused to take part In the debute, and the Republicans soon found it very dull, but nevertheless refused to consent to a vote until they had had further op "ort rnitles for discu&sicg it. The Canal Committee heard argument in behalf principally of tbe 8a n Bias route. The Exodus Coin mil tee listened to tbe testimony ot severs 1 Industrious and well-to-do colored men, wbo bad no complaints to make of their tr-. tment by the whites. Tbecauumof Democratic Senators decided as a compromise measure to postpone tbe Spoffrd-Kellogg case until the Geneva award bill bad been disposed of which, it I generally believed, will have the effect of postponing th matter until the next session. MISCELLANEOUS 5EWS ITEMS. There was a snow-storm in Northern Georgia Friday. Mrs. Taylor, of Evnnsvllle, charged with complicity in the A'lce Bruce abortion, has givtn bonds in fl.ouo to answer any indictment Ihe grand Jury may find against ner. Mrs. Emily Doug ass Forrest, widow of tbe late Commodore -rench Forrest, of the United Stsfes and Confederate States Navies, died uddenly In Washington on Friday night, aged seventy. The fallnres In New York for the first three months of this year number I.4C0, with llablliM -a aggregating Si'i.nuo.oOO.

An Kditor In Lurk. St JacobsOIl cures rheumatism; of this I am convinced. For two years I suffered with rbeumatfrm in my left shoulder and right arm, and last fall I was incapable of attending to my duties, and lay many a night unable to sleep on account of terrible pains. A few weeks ago a severe attack of this trouble struck me, and this time I concluded to try St. Jacobs Oil, I must acknowledge, with but little confidence In its merits. I fretly confess that the result has comDletelpestoniehed me. The first application relieved the pain very materially, and the continued use of only two bot'les has completely cured me of this chronic evil, and that after the meat eminent physicians and their prevrictior s bad been of no avail. I therefore consider It a du'y to publish the above for the bent fit of all sufferers with rheumatism and kindred ciraplalnts. G. A. Heilmax, Pditor Republican, Pitfcburg, Penn.

SALT RHEUM ON BODY Aud Limbs. Obliged to Go About on 1'rnicltes. A Wonderful ore Messrs. Weeks fc Potter, Uentlemen In justice to those wbo may suffer as 1 have suf fered, and as a grateful acknowledgment of the cure I have received from tbe use of the Cuticura Remedies, X voluntarily make tbe loilowiug statement : I have nad Salt llbeura on my body and on my leg in a very aggravated lorra tor eight years. No kind of treatment-or medicine, or doctors, during this time, did me any perma nent good. My menus iu Maiden aud else where know that I have been a great sufferer. and that my condition at times Las been such, as to make me despair of ever being able to find a cure or even a relief. In fact, when I besan the use of Cutlcura, my Jimowasso rw and tender that I could not bear my wtigDt ou it without tne sain bleeding, and was obliged to cracking and go about on the Cuticr.ra crutches, icomniencea to use in April, and at once realised Its beneficial effects. It gradually drew the inflammation and bnmor to the surface and. as iat as It appeared, healed it. At times large quantities would come to the surface, causing burning beat, inflammation, swelling, and Itching, which, under the constmt use of Cuticura, would rapidly subside and beat. Each time these outbreaks grew less and less severe and finally disappeared, leaving me perfectly cured. I used the Cuticura and soap five months and took the resolvent most of the time, whlca were the only remedies I used. 1 think the resolvent a very strengthening and purifying medicine to take in such ex treme cates as mine, because the disease is so weakening to the system. ery gratefully yours, M RS ASA R.
