The Ohio Sherman delegates will vote for Grant as their second choice. Chinamen are demanding the rights of citizanship. They axe said to be as intelligent as the negro. The whole military power of the country is still being exerted to find ont who put the slits in Whittaker's ears. Oleomargarine, or batter ointment, is not popular in Indianapolis. It is better for old sores than to be spread on hot rolls or hot cakes. Senator Logas has returned to Illinois, in order to bolster up the Grant movement, which seems to suffer in his absence. Uloody attacks on the English language will be less frequent during the next fortnight than usual. Kepuflicas inventions will be held on Wednesday in Tennetsee, Wisconsin and Mississippi, and on Thursday in New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maryland and Delaware. It is expected that at least four of them will declare in favor of General Grant. It is said that Senator Cameron has letters from each delegate from Pennsylvania to the Chicago Convention pledging himself to obey instructions and vote for Grant on the first ballot This will be quite enough, as he will secure the nomination on the first ballot. Young Stephen A. Douglas, in a recent speech, said: "Indiana is one of those States thatia always just going to be a Republican State, and just ain't." It will be a very good conundrum for the Journal to wrestle with and explain why this is so remarkably and indisputably true. Postmaster General Key was yesterday tendered the position of District Judge of the Eistern and Middle District of Tennessee. Our Washington special says that he accepted the appointment, and that Assistant Postmaster General Tyner will take Mr. Key's placa in the Cabinet. It is said that every Republican State in the country, in addition to New York, Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey, Damocratio States, will send delegates to the AntiThird Term Convention at St. Louis, this week, and that it will provide for meeting at a later date, in caec of General Grant's nomination. Hox. Richard VV. Thompson, the bold sailor of the Wabash, is mentioned as a probable dark horse for the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana. It is understood, however, that he has stipulated that the Journal shall not mention his name favorably, as he has no desire to experience the overwhelming defeat which follows every candidate whose advocacy it assumes. DatfccnAttc" CongilstJeüii' Conventions have been called in Indiana as follows: Fourth District, May 27, at Lawrenceburg; Fifth District, June 2, at Martinsville; Second District, June 3, at Washington; Eighth District, June 4, at South Bend; First Dictrict, July 15, at Evansville. Two Conventions, those of the Eleventh and Twelfth Districts, have already been held, Judge Slack being tha nominee in the former, and Mr. Colerick, the present incumbent, In the latter. The Conventions la the remaining Districts have not yet been called. We are sorry to learn that Senator Reeves continues in ill health at llot Springs, Ark. In a brief letter to the Bantinel, he sayi: 'I am bed fast, and write this lying on my back. You editors will be glad to hear it, and hope it may continue." The Senator does Tis great injustice. We have occasionally differed from him on publio questions, but there are few faces more gladly welcomed to our sanctum than that of Senator Reeves. Our hope is that be miy speedily recover and return home to take an active part in the warm political contest that is surely and steadily approaching. Thk condition of the Republican party Is really deplorable. The largest faction Is for Grant, and the small factions do not hesitate to denounce the large faction as being guilty of a purpose to destroy the Republic. Grant is openly denounced as an enemy of his country. His candidacy, it is eald, endanger the liberties of the people. As for Blaine, the Grant Republicans refer to him as rotton, corrupt and dangerous the man who has bartered his votes and h's position m mm a j t.1. ..IL lor pen; vioiaiea ma nonor ana ms oam, and if placed in the White House would urrouna mmseu wiui sei ui uusexupuioua .rascals who would debauch every department or the Government. as xor jonn Sherman, it is only necessary to brine forward hie Infamous connection with the Louisiana Hart their frauds and perjuries; Ida offers of Federal offices for perjury, and

MZTEODI1 TS IN COUNCIL. The Methodist Episcopal Church North meets in General (quadrennial) Conference to day, in Cincinnati. In the year 1870 the church had a membership of 1,343,0S9 per sons. Its Sunday-schools had 1 3S3 227 . pupils, and its church property was valued at $30,000,000. The census of 18S0 will show a large increase upon these figures. The Methodist Church In the United States, North and South, with other organizations that arc the followers of Wesley, outnum bers all other denominations of Christians in this country, and is in many regards the most powerful of all the church organize tions. As a matter of course, such a church in council, must attract attention. The Methodist Church has outgrown many of its ancient methods of conducting business, and reforms are now demanded, and will be urged dunog the present session of the General Conference. The woman preacher question will have to be ssttled. Women want to be ordained. They claim that they have "calls" to preach, and it is held that they can preach as well as the masculines, and at a vastly reduced cost. It la thought there will be very decided changes xnaüe in the Presiding Elder feature of tha discipline. As at present constituted, the Presiding Elders are held to be more ornamental than useful, and while the office may be retained the Presiding Elders will be required to perform useful work, and thus relieve the churches of an unnecessary financial burden. It is alao said that the time will be extended for preachers to remain at stations. According to the pres ent rule three years is the limit It msy be extended to six or ten. No one knows. The question of lay delegates to annual Conferences will also be urged, as also fraternization with the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Several Bishops are to be elected, and the matters named, with others that might be referred to, will give great importance to the quadrennial gathering. There will be 450 delegates present, and the Conference will be in session several weeks. A REPUBLICAN LIE. The statement going the rounds that $20 -COO was appropriated to meet the expenses of the Exodus Committee, and that it is all expended, is totally fake There has never been a dollar appropriated for that purpose. The resolution raising the Exodus Committee provided that the ex penses should be paid out of the miscellaneous fund of the S.nate. The expenses of several other Committees, such ai the Committee Investigating Kellogg and 8 potior', the Committee on the Irgills case, the Committee on the Cheyenne Iadians, the Teller Committee, and others, have all been paid out of that fund, besides the usual expenses of the Senate chargeable to that account How much of this fund has been spent in the exodus investigation has not been ascertained, but whatever the amount msy be the Republican Sanators are a3 much responsible as the Democratic Senators, for they all voted to raise the Committee. At first, these Republican Senators thought that they could make the most out of the investigation, and were for it; falling to do so, the organs of the party are now anxious to make out that the investigation was all wrong, and are willing to lie like devils to show that no goo I has been accomplished. Whatever the fijst has been, it has been money well expended. The investigation has developed a deep-laid, infamous Republican scheme to gain a partisan triumph. Republican conspirators have gone South, and gathered up the most miserable class of negroes and shipped them to Indiana to vote' the Republican ticket. To do this they have subjected the Ignorant .pauper negroes to sickness, hunger, cold, starvation and death, and now when their damnable schemes have been unearthed, and their true Character and cussedness have been exposed, they cry out: "Money, expense," etc But the facts, in spite of false swearing on the part of some of the kidnapers, have been brought to light, and will be still further forced upon the attention of the people.

She nal du.? them up from their tarly grave and restored them to consciousness. For days after ward he could not visit the barn without being followed by the cat, who watched every move ment he male and seemed determined to guard her kittens more carefully. A Cottonwood tree believed to be over 150 years old was recently cut down In front of one of the hotels in Denver, CoL Under this tree was held the trial of Moses Young, a Ger man, who committed the first murder In Denver. The Jury convicted him, and he was taken to the cabin of the Sheriff. At daybreak a posse of men took Young from the cabin and hanged him to a branch of the cotton wood tree. The lynching was witnessed by a large number of Indians, who bad climbed to the branches of neighboring trees. In the same year Jim Gordon was tried for murder underthe huge cot to u wood, and was hanged totbesame bnnch from which Young was suspended. It is believed that there were other trials and hangings In its shale. The tree was in the early days of Denver the largest of a cluster of cotton woods, standing where the city Is now th'ekly built up. A section of the trunk is to be sent to New York to be manufactured into toothpicks. DEGI8I0N OF PE0FE3S0E SMART On the Qaestioa of What Branches Must bs Taught in Public Schools When required. It has been asked w hether it Is the duty of School Truste- to provide a course of ttudy adapted to the preparation of pupils for col lege. The question should b9 answered in the affirmative. The argument in support cf this view is briefly as follows: 1. Trustees are required by section H of the school law to make nn enumeration of all clilldrm within their respective corporations between the age of six and twenty-one years, and children so enumerated are, by repealed decisions of the Courts, held to be tx-hool children, and have the undoubted right to attend the public schools established In the corporations to wmcn tney oeiong. By section 10 of the school law Trustees are further required to establish schools and employ teachers t-jt the children entitled to school privileges. 2. It is fair to assume that the Trustees must provide suitable Instruction for all tne children who hve a right to attend school; that Is, they must afford them such Instruction as their 'attainments demand. If a child bus mastered all the primary branches, and, being Jess than twenty-one vears of age, still desires to attend school, the Trustees must provide suitable 1 1struction for him. It is not reasonable to e. -pect him to Epend further time on branches which be has mastered. The fact that the law permits children to attend school till they are twenty-one years of age is presumptive proof that the Trustees may be required to furnish uch instruction as is suitable to their attaLiments ui they reach that sge. 8. If now the law fixed In ouprvsa terms the branches that should be taught In the public schools, and prohibited others, we could not be governed by the presumption Just stated; but no such limitation is placed upon the Trustees. On the contrary, they are expressly enjoined by section 117 of the school law to provhle to have taught certain specified subjects," and such other branches of learning and languages as the advancement of tho puDils nity require and the Trustee from time to tlmo direct." The term as the Truslee may from time to time direct," in my opinion, merely gives the Trustee power to dete rmine what branches are required by the advancemen t of t he pu pils. iu the case oi Grubbs and Duncan vs. Williams, Trustee, in the Johnson Circuit Court, the plain tin aked for u writ of mandate to compel the defendants to have their children taught algebra and Latin in an ordinary district school. The Court if sued the mendate in regard to algebra, and refused it In regard to Latin, solely on the ground that the plalutlfls had not made a suitable demand on the Trustee in regard to that study, holding that it was his duty to cause Latin to be taught. If the attainments of the pupi'.s required it, and that he could be compelled to do to by suitable proceedings. The Court argued, in deciding the cause, that section Ztiof the act or March t, lst5, 3 lnd. tat.. 418, confers on the patrons of schools the power to elect toat branches of learning In addition to those prescribed by the general law, as In section ill (3 lud. iat., 4oU). shall be taught In their hchoois, nod that section 117 (id., 4.8) makes It the duty of school trustees to causa such "other branches of learning and other languages as the advancement of pupils may require" to be Uiught therein. Tneoe two provisions of the law are not inconsistent with eacb other. The liitrnt ot ttie Legislature was that "other brauchte of learning aDd other languages" should be taught In the pub'lo schools whenever the pupils therein wer surticiently advanced iu the elementary branches as provided for In ection SI supra; aud in order that the legislative intent might bo mde effective two modes of acting wore provided for: 1. The voters were empowered to act. But. lest from any cause thev failed In their duty and left those entitled to the benefits of the public schools without a remedy, then 2. The Hehool Trustees could act, and, they being publio officers, could be compelled by the Courts to perform their dot j in case they &-elected to do the sirue. But if, as contendtd at the bar, sections 28 and H7 were Inconsistent with each other, then section 147, being the last expression of the Legislature, will govern. The statute provides that the Trustee "shall provide to have taught In them orthography, etc., etc.,nnd such other brane-heof Jearoluf and other languages," etc , etc. The JaoguiMte Is Imperative. Sometimes snaU Is cODHtruedto ineu my, but never where a public or private right will be impaired by rieh construction. (Wheeler vs. hlcago, 21 ill., 1C6; Blake vs. Portsmouth, I'J N.H43-.) Thel.inguageisnot only Imperative, but It Is unambiguous, unless we except the clause "andtbe Trustee from time to time elect" But nn ambiguous phrase concluding explicit language of precedent matter can nave no weight. Ii It can not bo rejonclled with such precedent matter it muf-tta.'l. (Dickerson vs. Neison, 4 Indi83; the btute vs. Williams, 8 I"1 .191.) . The action of the Trustee li conditioned upon the tact that the advancement of toe fupili require other studies to be Introduced n addition to the common branches. I think the argument here adduced equally applicable to Trutee in cities us to those la Townships, as the language of the statute applies to both a'ike.

The Methods of a Mugular Metropolitan Kr teroity. New York Herald. uv7e estimate our losses from shoplifting; at $10,OuO a year," said one of the proprietors of a large east side dry goods and fancy goods etore yesterday. "In the busy hours you can not estimate the number of people that come to this store. If you watch them from the galleries, tb&y swarm like anta. To serve them we employ between 900 and 1,000 persons. We have to watch them all, customers and clerks alike. On the other band, it is a prime necessity to display our goods, and to display them in such a way as will tempt the dishonest. "Shop girls are burdened with a reputation they don't deserve, and I bate to cay anything against them, continued the shopkeeper, ''for there are girls working for us who bend their necks to the yoke of labor only from necessity, and whose every instinct and action is that of a lady. But some cf the girls formed a ring with outsiders, and we discovered them selling the best roo Is and sending up checks for a nominal figure, twenty-five or fifty cents, when the real price might have been as many dollars. We get infor-matioDv-ainst the girls sometimes from customers. For instance, the last cue was that of a person who wrote that such and such a looking girl at such and such a counter was seen to drop a bill on the tixr, and send up a check for jast S3 much le3s than the real price. Whenever our attention is directed against employes we generally catch them." "Do the cash boys steal?'' was asked. "We loss a great deal by boys, bath in our employ and from outside. You'd be astonished if you knew the number of eons of respectable people often little boys that we catch stealing. Among our cash boys there have been some very ingenious thieves. One little fellow tore leaves out of his cash book so nicely that it was not discovered by the cashier, although it might have been that night. Wo suspected him and took him into a private office, where we talked to him earnestly. lie admitted his guilt, and said he put the money in his shoe. There wo found $14, the stealings of only a few hourr. But there was a smarter boy, though I eussuspect he had adult accomplices outside. lie carried on his person a little pad soakad with printer's ink, and an exact fee simile of the cashier a stamp cut on the end ot a cork. Whenever he got the exact price of an article sold from the saleswoman he went away and stamped his cash book, and brought it back as If from the cashier's desk. "Dj you cause the arrest of many shoplitters: ' the tradesman was askoa. "Yes, a pood many, but not all, by any means. We don't disturb persons unlets we have the most positive proof of their guilt When the article stolen is a trifle we watch the woman bo as to remember ber face, but usually do nothing more. Not infrequently we see thefts coxtnitted by women that we believe are not habitually trespassers, but were urged on by loo strong temptation and poverty. Such women wa take to a private room. We tell them our suspicion. If they confess and give us what prove to bs their right names acd addresses we let them go. But all this is a very delicate matter, and to make a mistake is very dangerous. You rauet know that shoplifters are generally amorg the best dressed and most repectab'e looking women that come in our store. I Btood at the second etorv skylight one day looking aimlessly dorn on tha firat 11 jor. I Bawtwo elegantly-dressed women putting away rolls oi silk ribbon. I watched them, and there wasn't any doubt about it. I hastened down and told the lloor-walker. lie wes astounded. I persisted, and he rpoke to the women. They were violently indignant. As they walked toward the door we saw them throw the rolls of ribbon among some boxes between two counters. we had them followed. They lived in an elegant brown stone bouse in Forty eighth street." "Professions! shoplifters," continued the spesker, "very often wear great cloaks. Tbey can put away a good Ceal under them. By raising their folded arms under their cloaks they conceal the added size the etolen arti cles give them. They have a pocket made in the front of their drejßes big enough to hold a number of large packages. Why, when we unloaded a womau here one day we took out of that pocket all that a goodsized boy ould carry on his outs'retched arms. I remember how indignant that woman was when accused. "I nai walking through the store one day when a clerk told me he thought a woman he was eervicg had etolen some Leghorn hats. I walked up to her and raised one of her arms suddenly. Twenty two bats fell to the floor, lou know what Leghorn hats are. They are made of a kind of grass, and fold close together. She bad concealed $37 worth. She said that 6he had picked them up on the floor, and wss going to put them where the rest cf the Lata were kept. We arrested her. "The hands of en experienced shoplifter work fts'er than the eyes of an observer. A Central Olllce defective standing in the store cne day saw a woman putting away silk handkerchiefs. She'd hold one up as if to examine it, aud then she'd suddenly pes) it into her other hand, and then into a big front pocket, with such lightning like rapidty that the detective couldn t tell what she was doing, but he thought she was putting them back on the counter. He made a study of the subject and canght her. Shoplifters often steal our valises and baskets, and then go around the store filling them up. We know a good many of the profession. We sent a man to the trial of Mr. and Mrs. Volkener, who were accused lately of an attempt to poison Mr. Blair, of Chatham. N. Y. You remember it was said that Mrs. Volkener and Mrs. Connolly, who lived with her, were shoplifters. lie came back and said that the face of the big woman (Mrs. Connolly) was a familiar one in our etore. "The wont thing shoplifters do," he said, in ooDclnsion, "is to steal from our customers. They are very fond of taking pecketbooks and valises. We would a great deal rather they would steal from us, for their victims are sure to give a store where they are robbed a bad reputation. Not long ago a lady who had $123 in a valise rested it on the counter for a moment, and it disappeared She found an old one in iti place. We believed that the thieves who took it knew that she bad the money, and had followed her for a long distance." She Floored Iferself. Extract from a woman's totimony in the trial oi her husband for abusing her: "He struck me in the face. I didn't say anytbirg to him, but I gave him a good talking to." fr The attorney scratche d his chin a moment, and asked her if she would please repeat her statement. "I say be struck me. I didn't say anything to him, but I gave him a good talking to." Again the attorney scratched his chin, but finally told the woman to go on and tell what else happened. "That same afternoon he struck me again, and I can stand a great deal, and I didn't say a word to him, but I gave him a good talking to." The attorney thought long and deeply, and then asked: Did he strike you the third time? ' "Yep, sir, be did." "Did you say anything to him?" 'No, sir." "But perhaps you gave him a good talking to?" "You can just bet your life I did." The lawyer began to scratch his chin again, but the j udge dismissed the case. Mr. Tilden's Methods. New York Letter to Philadelphia Times. ' That Mr. Tilden nimselt is in a disturbed condition of mind there is ample evidence, lie confines himself now almost constantly to his hdme, on tha parlor floor of which, in the rear, is an enormous library, utilized by a corps of clerks, secretaries and attendants, who are constantly examining; books, mark

ing papers, filing documents and aending packages of this, that and the other to various sections of the country. I doubt if there ia a detect! re bureau in the world more alrairably organized than that which, centering in Gramercy Park, conveys to the interested cipherer all manner of secrets and all kinds of information. While it is utterly Impossible for the average visitor to gain access to Mr. Tilden's pressjee, be is ceaselessly occupied in entertaining, listening to, advising with and instructing his friends acd those in his employ. No butier man lives than he, and how his attenuated physique sustains the labor imposed upon it by his restless, energetic and suggestive brain is one of the marvels cf the day. That he is very seriously affected by the disclosures made since the adjournment of the Convention, particularly by the speecu if Senator Jacobs, is very evident. Coupes -nd carriages rattle

to his door, a stream of eager and interested parties constantly tuz at his bell, the patience aod slippers of his servant are M eli nigh exhausted, and every evidence of a brisk and desperate campaign is afforded tj the neighbors, or to such as care to put a waica upon ma movements. An Ingenious Letter, The following letter shows the insrenuitv of a young bride.who was obliged to show her correspondence to her tyrannical husband, in writing to a menu: I cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend, blessed as I am, in the matrimonial state, unless 1 tour into your frlendlv bosom, "uku rver oten in unison wun mine, the various deep sensations which swell with the liveliest emotions of my almost bursting heart.

A writer in tbc Clarke Courier, a Virginia journa', concludes an article on the Presidential situation 83 follows: To bo serious, aa matter now stand, Mr. Hendricks is the strongest man the -country over for the first place. There ore manvpure and great patriots in the land, but of them a i there is none greater than he who. amidst the rude changes fflekle lortune, retains the confidenea ar affection of a stale first to relieve theconntryof the lemi inenbus of Radicalism. Lit us cease the cry of 'second place tor Hendiicks.' and come up like 'bruve men and true to follow to the 'fore front of the battle' the man who in the "thickest of the fight' has ever proudly borne the ensign of v'ctory. Long live Thomas A. Hendricks! Long live that spirit of concord whicli has united in harmony the rank of Democracy in Indiana, making a host more Invincible than Grecian phalanx or Roman legion! Their leader, calui aud selfreliant, amidst the Btormy waves of political discord, has spoken, 'Peace, be still,' und the sea of passion has ceased its tempestuous tossing to bear upon its tranquil bosom rich argosies of peace, prosperity, nmon and fraternity. All eyes are turned to Indiana. If we bold up the hands of Thomas A. Hendricks be will 'smite the enemy hip and thigh,' and bury the loathsome carcass oi Radicalism so deep that the 'hanns of resurrection' can never fathom the 'blackness of darkness' mat is gathering to enshroud Its eternal oblivion." Very Lucid, This. The following conversation, taken down on the spot in short hand, gives powerful proof of tho logical force of the feminine intelligence: "Cecile, what has your husband done to you that you hate him so? Is he miserly?" "Not in the least. He loads me with gifts." "Dj you think him ugly?" "You know that he is a handsome fellow." "Is he not sufficiently intelligent?" "He is even intellectual." "Is he unfaithful?" "Oh! as to that, I can swear he never thought of deceiving me." Then he beats you?" "He beats me! Why, he is a lamb!" "Then why?" "Then why? (with energy) why, because I bate him:" Down on the Masses. IFrench.l A large manufacturer saw a workman who asked him for employment, saying pitifully: "Monsieur, I have fourteen children." The manufacturer, who is a political economist, shrugged his shoulders and answered : "In your situation it is absurd to have so many." This remark was heard by the manufac turer's son, a boy of eight years.
