John Shennan had locked up 4, 190,31 8 standard silver dollars, about enough to pay every pensioner in the country, and still John Sherman professes his inability to get the standard silver dollars into circulation. Se5ator Kerxax, of New York, has introduced a bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to coin only such an amount of silver dollars as be may find necessary to meet the demand, which the Secretary will construe to mean no more silver dollars. Thfrk is over SIS. 000.000 worth of untaxed Church property in the state of Ohio. We have a yet to hoar a satsfactnry argument Justifying this exemption. A 1 property, not belonging to the State, should be made to bear its equitable portion of the bunion of Government. No other principle can make taxation acceptable to all the people. Cincinnati Commercial. Indiana also has a large amount of un taxed Church property. .Why not tax it? Possibly the Legislature will ask why not? Do Piatt sjent the Christmas holidays in Mnncie, this State. The conclusion of his letter from that city to his paper, ''the Washington Capital," is as follows: You see, I am here spending the X-mas holidays. Our Savior died to save a sinful world, and this includes Indiana; although certain gentlemen of the blue-grass region of Kentucky believe that the plan of Valvation referred exclusively to that part of the footstool. I hear the merry bells ringing and the shouts of children throcch the fallinc snow; so that whether Beit Harriaon be made Senator or not young Iudiana sejoiees in its X-maa. Jim Keknk, who makes money by cornering wheat and other commodities essential for the lite of the people, has lost his Newport (R. I.) villa by fire. He was insured to the amount of 175,000, as follows: House furniture, $.V,000; bric-a-brac, china vases, clocks, etc , $33, G00; pictures, $05,000; greenhouse, $10,000 which shows something as to where the money goes won by corners. One of these days fire will not only destroy the villai of such men, but the villains who own thera. The Philadelphia Times, in contemplatiug the grandeur of the American Navy, is moved to say that "a thrill of patriotic pride must seta-quivering thi breast of every loyal American whenever a thought of his country's Navy chances to drift within the homon of his mindthere is something so grandly Impassive about it, so majestic, so unutterably calm!" And this condition of things is possibly the reason why the Cincinnati Commercial wants Bruce, of Mississippi, to take charge of the Navy Department.Bruce would hardly do, as the Times puts it, for a "substantial Navy a fleet of real ships, carrying real guns, but in the present dreary, abstract spirituality" of the Navy," Bruce might do. The number of States having over a million of inhabitants, as shown by the late census, has risen from fifteen in 1870, to nineteen in 18s0, while there is no change in the relative position of the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Massachusetts and Kentucky, which in the order stated, are ahead of other States. Iowa has risen from the eleventh place to ninth, Michigan from thiretenth to tenth, Texas from nineteenth to eleventh, Tennessee has fallen from ninth to twelfth, Georgia has dropped from twelfth to thirteenth, Virginia frori tenth to fourteenth, North Carolina from fourteenth to fifteenth, Wisconsin from fifteenth to sixteenth. The four States that have passed the million line in the. ten years, are Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and New Jersey. IRELAND AND ENGLAND. The cause of Ireland is the cause of humanity. To sympathize with Ireland, to assist Ireland, and to pray for Ireland are duties ax sacred as to visit the sick, to succor the widw and orphan, or to give food and drink to the destitute. It-matters little what England may demand under laws which are the outgrowth of her infernal tyranny, and the foundation of a system of cruelty that makes the bounteous benen cence of Jehovah unavailing; that abrogates the edicts of the Gospel; that makes religion a by-word of scorn and reproach, and weighs down humanity to a depth of want and degradation, callin-r with united voice for the execration of all men. Above En gland's proclamations, the rattle of her musketry, the roar of her cannon - and the decrees of her Court is heard the cry for bread the announcement that Ireland is starving. The world is in vi ted to look on, while the panorama of Ireland's woes is unrolled England robbing. Ireland starving, and her people subjected to imprisonment, transportation and murder, if they dare to eat of the fruits of their fields the product of their own toil. Ireland, if left to-herself, would soon change this aspect of affair. The wilderness and th desert places- would soon become fruitful and supply -food in abundance. Under English rale and En glish law twin rurws there is no hop of -

escape, except by ceaseless agitation and the

us? of such moans of resistance, as uridyl the Land League policy Irishmen are seeking to obtain a recognition of uir rlght. f Thtlr position is? now so drdamt, nd at the svuuc time so w ise and sv jd, that the civilized world is In aymith" with it, and is wishing . tJier.O'prjR.xl victorj' over their opprt-oxirs. Amt ri'.-a is takint; a .profound intere.t in the trupsk. The rett American heart brats Teypor.siv to Ireland's demands, not because Americans hate j.nglanu thowjjli they rave no reason for admiring lirr practice in peace or in war but bemuse Ireland is in the right. It is a strogtfe on Irish sil for the rivilege of living without living grim, gaunt am ghastly famine forever trie guest of the liov cla of the poor, and. by the Throtie of Eter nal Justice, Irishmen should swear to fight it out on that line as long as t lie shamrock blooms, or a thorn bush can be found out of which to manufacture a shillalah. England. in tke past. Las too often found means to rob Ireland of roiue of her most valiant sons, and Ireland has toi often been called upon to mourn 'Irishmen's treason to Ire land's holy cause. To sonic extent the same is true now. England has wealth and honors to bestow, and she has in the past been able to Iiush the voice of Irish orators ami poets wlioe mission it wa3 to plead the cause of their native kind, and to further still the rising tempest of Ireland's indigna tion. England has sent Irishmen abroad with royal commissions to conduct her diplomacy and lead her armies An Irish ioct ha-s written of his country's countrymen: Tnorized are her sons till ther learn to betray. lndistinculshed they live it they shame not their urea: And the torch that would light them to dignity's way. Must be raucht from the pile where their country expires." But the present generation of Irishmen arc disposed to force concessions from England, and thev are making headway. .En gland semLs forth troops to Inland, but there is no use fr tlM.ni. England gets up trials for such men a Pariu ll, but intelligent men regard them as a farce. Ireland is commanding the symj and bringing such a prcssun to bear upon the Englih Ministry as will certainly help the Irish cause. In tliis regard -America is doing lier whole duty, aixl theivhy raising the .standard of ti dignity and imt of Ainericun citizenship. GOVERNOR PORTER'S INAUGURAL. It is unfortunate for (iovemor Porter that he sJiould have made a failure in. his first appearance before the public a.s Governor or, to put the case somewhat milder, that he should have failed to come up to the expectations of thoe who had predietcd an exhibition of those higher qualities of statesmanship which ardent friends and admirers were confident he possessed. Governor Porter, as it was feared would be the case, puts on a little too much style, and. as was expected, the wrong sort of style. There is none of the Ben Franklin and Tom Jefferson simplicity about it. Any unprejudiced citizen sees at a glance Ihst Governor Porter is inclined to be imperious, haughty, dictatorial, dogmatic and pedagogic. It is said that Governor Porter is looking forward to a nomination for President in 1884, and if it is a fact that a Presidential fly is buzzing in His Excellency's ears it is doubtful-if he ever overcomes the confusion of ideas likely to result from such a misfortune. But we prefer to believe that His Excellenev's failure to meet the expectations of his fellow-citizens yesterday was owing to the success, felicities aid benedictions that have latelv been lavished upon him. When the nomination lightning struck him he was astonished, and when the count showed that he had been elected h was bewildered. Then came the wedding with Its rapturous blisses joys ünsptakablc the blending of two hearts with but a single thought, with a honeymoon to boot. Under such circum stances Governor Porter, with much pro priety, could have been, and ought to have been, a sugar plum instead of a crab apple. His heart should have been attuned fö the music of "love's young dream." He should have so deported himself that the pink of his eyes 'und the glorious blondeness of his countenance would have eo added to his beauty, natural and artificial, that the dear ladies would have been frantic to have bestowed upn him a hymenial, honeymooneal and an in--augural kiss to make him think the heavens were full of angels, shooting starj and fierytailed comets, and that, for a time, .T1 the brass bands in America were bel'owihg his illustrious deeds skyward. But FHs'KxceV lency was as full of malaria s a cntrter section of Louisiana swamp. He see hied to be offended because Governor Grty had distinguished himself by the probation of a message which received univefial applause for its statesmanship, and because he could not fashion such thoughts nor reach conclusions of such wealth of wisdom. Governor Porter seems to have concluded to make himself ridiculous, and, in that regard, success attended his effo.-ts. When he began to speak Governor Porter weighed a ton. When he concluded he was about the size of a mouse, and of about equal heft. His friends had sought to honor him, and to give eclat to his inaugural by hireing an Opera House; huas the matter turned out, the elegant and gorgeous surroundings only made His Excellency appear the- more diminutive, and the more he talked the more he dwindled, until he became a curiosity by his almost infinite smallness. His allusion to Governor Williams showed the meanness of his partisanisni. He could not permit himself to speak well of the dead. He alludes to Governor Williams' want of 'education" and of "travel," aud of the "narrowness of his views," which showed his (Porter's) anxiety to disparage a man of exalted worth, distinguished for integrity and for every quality ' of head aud heart that qualifies men for positions of honor and trust, and without .which aU else becomes of little value, and Governor Porter, with all of his boasted education aud travel and hopes 'for partisan boosting, will have occasion to thank his stars if he wins half the respect and confidence that fell fci the lot of James D. Williams. Governor Porter made a sad mistake when he attacked the Supreme Court of Indiana. To introduce into his inaugural address any part of his campaign flatulency was in bad I taste, aid he had no right to, offend the olfactories of invited guests by such partisan

I

putridity. He had no right to play scavangf at tj,e English Opera House and dnm'thc contents of his partisan garbage 'arts under the noses ' of those who haj com to honor him as the Chief Executive of a threat Commonwealth. The Supreme Court of Indiana is a co-ordinate hranch of the State government, clothed with certain high prerogatives which Governor Porter fehould rosrect, and in speaking of which he s-hould guard jrell his utterances, und any deurture from stich a course only strengthens the convictions of all honorable men, that he has mapped out for himself a policy which the more it is developed the more defective it will appear. The attack which Governor Porter makes upon the "corner-stone" of the State House has no higher significance than partisan clap-trap. It is throughout Iartisan Ihipdoodlc. It proposes tobe a tribute of love and respect to Indiana soldiers in the late war, as if the names of the soldiers and the fame of their achievements would be lost if not buried in the cornerstone of the State House. Governor Porter, one would suppose from the style of his remarks, was himself a soldier, but we are not informed that he drew sword or shouldered a musket in defense of his country. We are not advised that bugle or drum ever disturbed Iiis sleeping or wak ing hours, and it therefore seems that his overwhelming devotion to the soldiers' cause was born after the battles had all been fought To intimate that there was any purpose on the part of those who had charge of the corner-stone to exclude any documents relating to the record of Indiana sol diers is a gratuitous insult, which dishonors and degrades its author. Governor Porter admits that the fame of the soldier is secure What more is wanted? The soldier asks no more. Indeed, the whole business of hewing out holes in corner stones as receptacles of valuable records in this age of books has no real value. We had hored that Governor Porter, in his inaugural address, would have been equal to the occasion. There was no necessity for the great display at the Opera House, as Gov ernor Porter could have gone before a Justice of the Teace and been sworn into office. But since men of all parties were willing to show a high respect for the office which Gov ernor Porter holds, he should have made lis address rich with words of friendship rther than partisan waspish ncs. GOVERNOR GRAY'S MESSAGE. The message of to vcrnor Isaac 1. Gray which we lay before 4he readers of the fentinel to-day, is a State paper w hich the peo ple will find eminently worthy of their careful perusal and profound consideration, for, though addressed to the General Assem bly, its discussion of State alfairs is so thor ough and exhaustive that the general reader who desires authentic information with regard to the political situation can not afford to lay it aside with a cursory examina tion, and it is all the more important that it should be carefully examined from the fact that the State governmental affairs lave passed into the hands of the Iiepubican party. The importance of the document will be the more readily comprehended from the consideration that it touches upon every subject of vital i nportance to the people. Hismissing the opening paragraph and the manly tnbut-j to Governor Williams, Governor Gray alludes as briefly as possible to the acts of 171), the constitutional amendments, the benev olen nstitutions of the State, the reports of State ollicials, the new State House, educational nterests, the prisons, the State Board of Charities, public health, rcvisio.no' the law?, election of Presidential Electors, United States ?enators, purity of elections, legislation and intemperance. Every subject is admirably treated, and conclusions evince thorough study, a conscientious regard for the public welfare, entire familiarity with every question and a statesman-like grasp of every' interest. As a State paper, Governor Gray's first, and for a time his last, rcvs8age, J will take rank with any similar document that has invited the attention of the Legislature and the people, and the author of the message can retire to private life with the proud consciousness that las official duties have been faithfully and acceptably performed. TsVe Southern States do not object to any movement on the part of Congress to appropriate money for educating the ignorant, and any proposition the North may make upon the subject the South will be quite likely to favor. The last report of the Commissioner of Education gives some statistics showing the lack of education in the Southern States. A great many thousands of colored people can neither read nor write. They are reported as profoundly ignorant, but we have never heard that any Republican regarded their ignorance as a reason why they should not vote provided they voted the Republican ticket. To show the number of the school population of sixteen Southern States, the number enrolled, etc., the following . table will be of interest to those who desire information upon the subject. The figures are based on the reports of State authorities for the year 187S: 3 3 x 5 5 5 ' J 5 : i : a i 3 I j Jk w.

The Richmond Rate thinks it was the late Judge Percy Walker, of Alabama, who Kent the famous dispatch North announcing the attack on Fort tumpter: "With cannon, mortar and petard, JelT Davis sends old Abe bis Beauregard." E. F. Pills Bear, the one stalwart Democrat In the State of Maine, Is going isouth. He is chilled out by a severe Northern climate, and besides, the Republicans in power refuse to pay him a bill of 81,030 for some public printing done in the Garcclon days. Captain James H.

Tiik Philadelphia Times saya that since 'onklitig isn't on speakiDg terms with Blaine, how would Conjrcr do ou the Committee on Foreign A Ruin? Ho would create something of a h-iisi-tloii among the diplomats, who follow the maxim of Talleynmd, to make their wonls conceal their thoughts. Diplomacy couldn't bo put to a more trying ordeal. Representative A. If. Stephens, of Georgia, told a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution that it is all a mistake, the prevailing opinion that the S?outh does not want Northern men to settle within its borders. He ays: "We waut North ern men we want Yankees; we welcome all houeM, thrifty citizens." Mr. Stephers assurances are gratifying. The military of Charleston, S. C, will celebrate the anniversary of the birthday of General Rob ert E. Lee, January 19, by turning out In uni form, without arms, and attending a gathering at Mil'tary Hall, where an oratlou appropriate to the occasion will bs delivered by Colonel Hugh S. Thompson. General Grant Is said to smoke 100 cigars In two weeks. He gives away as many as he smokes. He has used the same brand of imported cirars for ten years. They cost 522.50 a hundred. Colonel "Bob Ingursoll pays for a box, and uses from five to ten cigars a day. General Butler pay 810 and sometimes SJO for a box. Senator Matt Carpenter, who nearly killed him-clf by smoking, has been reduced to three cigars a day. Eight miles south of Glasgow, at Mailt t-Schen-eck, lives an old woman 102 years old, who knew the poet Burns. Burns used to liirt and crack jokes with an elder sister of this lady, whose name, by the way. Is Cunningham. Mrs. Cunningham says she "canna understan what the folk mak fie a wark about Burns for a lowse, thriftless fellow and fala o' the dram." Among the Christmas cards of Mrs. Ben Ejrgleston, of Cincinnati, was one which Informed her that unless her husband, who is a member of the State Ssenate, withdrew from hi support of the Elevated Railroad scheme, he would bo neatly and promptly assassinated. A man Ritght as well be an Irish landlord as an Ohio lcgit-lator. C0NURFsf as Orth, who is s?aid to be proud of his German ancestors and of his knowledge of the German tongue, is described by merry friends as addressing the Austrian Emperor at Vienna in this beloved language. The Emperor, It Is related, afterward mentioned Mr. Orth to another American In omplimentary terms; and then added: "What was the dialect in which Mr. Orth delivered his address? I knew, of course, that it was not English, and I thought that I detected some faint traces of the Teutouic tongue lu some of the words." GoKF, the new (ad interim) Socrctary of the Navy, is thus described by Governor Matthews, of West Virginia: "General GofT was ray competitor for Governor on the Republican ticket in 1876. We canvassed the State together, and became warm personal friends. He is an elepant gentleman, a profouud lawyer, and strictly honorable and upright in all his dealings. He is a very topnlar man in fact, the leader of his party In West Virginia. General GofT Is a native of the State. He has always resided in Clarksburg, Harrison County, and all of his Immediate relatives reside there. He Is a very youthful-looking man, and qnite handsome In appearance. His age is only forty-three, and really looks to be much founger. Ills nomination gives general satisfaction in our State." The little granddaughter of Dr. Trlme, the veteran editor of the New York Observer, got into his lap alout New Year's time, and after taking the pen out of his hand, asked him, demurely: "Grandpa, how long have you been writing in this way? Ever since I was a little dot, yon have been writing, writing, every time I come; did you always write just so?" Then her grandfather told her how long he has been writing for Jothcr people's pleasure and profit. "The first piece that I ever wrote for the New York Observer was printed In that paper April 7, 1S.58. From that time to this, about forty-three years, with a brief interval, I have been writing every week, and almost every day for the Observer. It is curious to see howmuch one writes In sucb steady work. Suppose a minister writes sixty pages each week in making his sermons (less than ten panes a day, and he can easily write ten pages In an hour or two) he will write 3000 pages In a year, 30,000 in ten years, or 120.000 In forty. I have written on nn average more than five columns each week for forty years, or 10,000 columns in all ; at least 100 volumes of 400 pages eacn." For years old John Koop, of Houston, has been known as a miser. He died on Sunday of sheer starvation, refusing food up to the last moment of his life. He left at least 150,000 In real estate and money. He owned much property In Houston. Koop was a hater of mankind, and especially of womankind. He hated women wo bud he would not even rent his houses to one of them. The miser lived la a two-roomed hovel. In the front room there was nothing but an old wheelbarrow. In his bed room was an old bed, with a sheet Iron bottom, upon which was pfece oi an old mattress and

some ragged ewds of guilts. I'pon this the miser died. When Iw was dying the room was so dark that the Doctor, w ho had come of his own will to attend the man, ordered another candle lighted; bat old Koop raised his head, and with literally his dying breath expostulated and forbid th extravatrance. His funeral expenses were far from being in keeping with his Ufa's ledger sheet, and the casket lu which he was burled was handsome enough to make the body rise from it to protest against the waste of money. It is not yet known how old Koop disposed of his wealth, although he left a w ill.' BESfME OPTIIE WEEK'S NEWS.
