Alexander III. is going to have such matters attended to according to the nicti approved methods of civilization. The way the pay was increased on some of the Star Routes will be seen by the following: For instance, the route from Viniti to Lad Vegas in New Mexico was increased from $;,3:J0 to $150,592.30, the one from Bismarck to Fort Keogh was increased from $2,300 to $70,000, the Fort Worth and Yuma increased $1C5,000, and soon. The people of England would be in the grasp of famine in six months if left to feed themselves.

The Republican party of Ohio is in a bad fix. It had a majority in the Legislature. It promised the temperance people of the State that it would pas3 a stringent liquor law. The 'Tond bill" was introduced. It wo;:d have been satisfactory to the temperance people, but the Republican members cf the Legislature proved treacherous. They went back on their pledges. They were false to their promises, and now the temrerance people of Ohio proclaim they will have nothing more to do with them.

It is saia that footprints of cattle around slaughter houses always point inward. A special di.i-, jtch from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial of the 27th says: The friends of General Brady have claimed that he has important documents in his possession, and would hold them in reserve for emergencies. It Is allegad that he holds in his possession letters that will injure, if not wreck, several valuable reputations. The National Republican to-day, which is owned by Brady, contains the following mysterious editorial paragraph: ' "Would the President" have advised that the tar Koute contractors be asked for money during tie Presidential campaign?" It is believed that this paragraph was inspired by Erady. Teople unacquainted with the circum-

I stances would not know what it meant, and it has

attracted much attention among the lreI dent's friends to-day. The fact is. General Brady has a ' letter from, Garfield, written before the election, but the letter does not advise that Star Route contractors be asked for subscrip tions to help elect him (Garfield) President. A short time before the Indiana election, when the Republican campaign fund was low, and the bet ting was two to one in favor of Hancock, the general impression being that he would be elected, Brady wrote quite a long letter to Gar field at Mentor. By all means the country should know the extent of Star Route contributions to the Republican campaign corruption fund. Let the infamously repulsive ulcer be punctured. Garfield, it seems, was consulted. Brady addressed the divinely nominated Repub lican candidate upon the subject of a Star Route contractor's fund when the case looked doubtful. Garfield consulted with intimate friends with regard to the proposed contribution. Brady has Garfield's letter, It is doubtless a precious document. Less than two months in office, and already Gar field's name is associated directly with one of the most scandalous transactions that has disgraced the Republican party. Brady's newspaper asks Garfield an impudent question. He asks the Chief Execu tive of the American people if he would have been guilty of colossal inde cency. o wonder that Garfield is ' some what surprised." Here is something worse than the Morey letter, something worse than the Poland Committee, something quite dif ferent from the buzzard on the housetop. the yellow dog under tbe wagon, or Moody and Sankey's tract. Garfield has got to let up or there will be developments that will place the Republican party in its proper light before the country. DORSEY THE MAN WHO CARRIED INDIANA. Ex-Senator Dorsey Stephen W. Dorsey Secretary of the National Republican Committee, has fallen, is falling, and will continue to fall wards gradually for some time to come. Ex Senator Dorsey the man who carried Indiana the man who handled the Star Route "soap," has fallen in character, in reputation, in position. How far this distinguished Republican rascal has fallen, how low he has fallen, it is only necessary to read developments touching his life of crime to find out "It is, perhaps, to the credit of the country," remarks the Philadelphia Times, "that it is not often that an ex-Senator of the United States is shown to be a vulgar thief. It would be still more to its credit if its Government punished its thieves whenever they were apprehended in the commission of their offen ses, lo the country at lartre Stephen W. Dorsey has been known as a Senator of the United States and as one of the leaders of the Republican party. He is now the Secretary of the National Comniitteof that party, andafter the election of Garfield and Arthur the party posed before him in almost suppliant attitude to know what high office he would deign to accept in return for his eminent services in securing a Republican triumph. He put the crown from him; he would have none of the honors; he was content to serve in the ranks a3 a private soldier. He did, mwever, ask one favor, one single paltry favor he asked that he might name the Second Assistant Postmaster General. It was a trifling request for a virtuous man to make; it was a monstrous demand when made by Dorsey, for Dorsey was interested in the Star Service, and it was, therefore necessary for his pecuniary welfare that he should control the Second Assistant Postmaster General." Only a few weeks ago this man Dorsey was on the top wave of Republican popularity. A sneaking Republican villain, a loathsome Republican leper, schooled in Republican methods to secure and maintain power, he drew around him men of prominence in the Republican party, who indorsed his methods, extolled his resources, applauded his skill, and, as if these thjDgs were not enough,"they banqueted him in the commercial metropolis of the country. Dorsey had carried Indiana. Dorsey had elected Garfield. Dorsey had saved the Republican party, and Dorsey was entiled to all the nors that the party could bestow. "The leaders of the Republican party," says the Times, "knew that Dorsey was a rascal and that he was in politics to make money. They did not hesitate, however, to employ him as an agent in the late Presidential contest. He even superceded Jewell and handled the campaign fund, by and with the advice and consent of Mr. Arthur." Undoubtedly the leaders knew.fhat Dorsey was a rascal that made no difference with them. T!.c leaders of the Republican party knew thut ihe New Orleans Returning Board was n);'do up of rascals,but they were employed to put Hayes in office, nevertheless, and they " en for the work of perjury, II' ublican leaders do not hesitate to utihz( ilize vil'niins to aid them, nor do they hesitate to re!rd them after the vile work has been : p "f-.rmed. "Among the men, "savs theTirues, 1 , e , , ' , , , ' tu asked the rascal Dorsey to break bread . . , ii'ti them at th e New lork banqnet, were . . . . . . . ... "1 V t pAs or, J. Tierpont Morgan, L.

Secretary Windom, Judge Noah 1 V.t i Ilev. Henry Ward Beecher and Dr. J N'"man. Jay Gould, Postmaster General Ja and last, but not least, the trio, Thoma - P. Ilrady, George C. Gorham and Hallet Kül onrn. So far forgetful were these peol.- f self-respect and the ordinary rules of d ( -y tliat tliey united the names of Lin r, !; and Dorsey as the two men most w.-.rthy of Republican plaudits." Now, this li-th iruisheil Republican scamp this man v'o virtually displaced Jewell in the ;v; " , ,. n o . :" Bepublican Committee; this Star thief is whining like a whipped i.-'ir h'.-ca use his rascality has been brought toli 'lit. Postmaster General James, one of tfn Tantiemen who broke bread with Dor .-evttlie New York banquet, charges Dor sey with being a partner in the Star Route tiu-it. and all the rest of the leaders who p!ayt d the part of lick-spittles to Dornjy on thit occasion are. now. looking, around for soruc means by which they may remove the odium of the detestable sycophamcj. The g'xl name oflndiana has becn'deeply tarnishtd by the operations of this dis- ' tinjubted Republican Star Route thief.

While here the local Republican authorities had to irive way to Dorsey. who

who controlled the Star Route corruption fund, and Dorsey moved things as he pleased. The Times says;, "He; (Dorsey) is one of the Star Route thieves and ought to be punished as a criminal with Brady and the rest. District Attorney Corkhill is already suspected of having refused to put in motion the machinery of justice against these people. It will not do for him to hold back now. His equivocal position calls for ex traordinary energy in the prosecution of the guiKy men. Justice must be- aatixfied Dorsey has fallen.butheand his accomplices must have the sign of their fall indelibly stanied upon them." The indications are that Brady is in a iosition to make Garfield a central figure in the Star Route corruption fund business, which probably accounts for the fact that criminal proceedings are not begun. REPUBLICANISM, PURE AND SIMPLE From the latest Washington advices, we learn that the important Question with nuicn uameiu ana nis vaDinet is now wrestling, is how to distribute Federal swag among the faithful so as to botst promote Repuohcan interests. In the Senate the country is required to contemplate the same phase of Republicanism, . and while this state of things continues the public interests are thrust aside and neglected. How to dis tribute patronage is the all-absorbing topic. The Republican ins hold on with a death like grip;theouts clamor for their share with ever increasing emphasis. Into every ques tion, nevertheless,of the public interest, this low, disgusting and venal element of Re publicanism is injected. Senators, Cabinet officers, and Garfield himself enter the arena where the wrangle is conducted. But there is nothing new in this odious exhibibition of Republicanism. From the day it attained power, this abhorrent characteristic has been conspicuous. What is the cause of the difficulty between Conkling and GaTlield? Swag. Why the intensified hostility between Conkling and Blaine? Sag. Why the deadlock in the Senate? Swag. All hands, from the mangiest spaniel in the kennel up to the most lordly mastiff, the bark and gowl is for swag. While this swag war is proceeding there" comes trooping up from the dark recess of the Departments of the Government, for twenty years in the hands of Republicans, a long line f charges of fraud. Republican officials have been stealing robbing the Government It is the old, old tory Republicanism pure and simple. It robs, it steals, it plunders. It commits forgery and perjury. It disregards Constitutions, it tramps upon law. It bay onets Legislatures and debauches Courts. Such is Republicanism,-pure and simple. In the days of its supreme power it sent forth its "grip-sack" carpet-bag hordes to plunder the South. This accomplished, it turned its attention to plundering the negroes. .Millions of swag was secured. After this the whisky ring was organized within the party, by the party, for the party, and the Government was robbed of millions. The money so secured was used to help the party. It was used to swell the election cor ruption fund. Orant obtained his share in. various gifts, and other distingnislwd rascals had their bank accounts indefinitely enarged. And now . we have the Star Route villainy to contemplate and analyze. It is n keeping with other exhibitions of Repub licanism, pure and simple. It is unadulter ated 8Coundrelism; it is colossal robbery; it demonstrates inherent terpitude There is knavery in every figure, and we are led to believe that the stolen monty was largely contributed to elect Garfield, and we are still further led to believe that Garfield was a party to the rascality. It is shown to be true, beyond a peradventure, that ex-Senator Dorsey, the man who boasts of carrying Indiana, and who, it will be doubtless shown, used Star Route funds in his operations, has reaped large benefits from the Star Route swindle. This is the Dorsey who was and is the Secretary of the National Republican Committee, whose operations were applauded at the New York banquet by Grant, Arthur & Co. Such is an outline of Republicanism, pure and simple. The filthy tide flows deep and strong, and the people will eventually comprehend it vileness. It is generally understood that Colonel Bob Ingersoll is in happy communion with the Republican God-and-morality party. He is one of iU great pillars. Bob is an orignal Garfield man, but is en rapport with all the factions. When a great Republican speech is to be made, Bob Ingersoll is called for. When some great Republican iniquity is to be artistically whitewashed, Bob is in demand. Bob is a controlling figure in all great Republican Conventions. Recently i Bob delivered a lecture in the city of New York, which Republican journals have taken extra pains to publish. We give a few extracts just to show what the great ajtostleof Republicanism is doing for thej religious welfare of the country. Here they are: 1 That one word 'religion' paints in the horizon of tne pest wlih every form of agony and torture, and when one pronounces the name ol 'religion we think of 1.500 years of persecution, of 6.000 years of hatred, slander and vituperation. Strange, but true, that those who have loved God most have loved men least: strange, that in countries where there has been the most religion there has been the most agony; and that is one reason why I am opposed to what is known as religion. lApplause.l" "for one, I do not believe there is any God. who gives rain or sunshine for praying. Applause,!" "Ihe inspiration of the Bible deicnds upon the ignorance of the gentleman wno . reads it. Laughter"." "I find by reading this book that a worse Gov ernment was never established than that established by Jehovah." - "Four thousand years ago, if the Bible is true. God was la favor of slavery, polygamy, wars of extermination and religious persecution. Nojv we are told that the devil U in favor of all those things and -God is opposed to them; In other words, the devil stands now where God stood 4,000 years ago; yet they tell me God is just as good now as He was then, and the devil just as bad now as God was then." - "And why did God demand the sacrifice of a sheepT I will tell you: because priests love mutton. Laughter.!" .' They tell us Judas betrayed Christ Well, if Christ had not been betrayed no atonement would have been made, and then every human soul would have been damned and Heaven would have been for rent (Laughter." ; ' "If I find at the Day of Judgment that I hav been mistaken I will say so like a man. If God tells me then that He is the author of the Old Testament I will admit that He la worse than I thought lie was, and when Ho comes to p ro

Bounce sentence on me I will say to Him: Do unto other as yon would that others ahould do

onto yon. lApplause," "Infinite wladoin has no right to make a. fail nre. and a man that la to be eternally damned is not a confpirnous success. Laughter. Infinite wisdom hae no right to "make an Instrument that will not finally pay a dividend." Such are the utterances of one of the great expounders of Republicanism, an ism which has filled the land with Star Route morality and elevated a man to the Presidency with perjury derricks. Immediately after the . inauguration of Hayes, the ladies who preside over the households of 'Cabinet officers concluded they would reform things, and at it they went They resolved not to return calls. Other ladies might call on them as much as they pleased, but no return calls would be made. As soon as the announcement was made there was a big flutter. The wives of Senators, of diplomats and of Army and Navy dignitaries resented the action of the Cabinet ladies, and intimated that if their calls at the residences of the Cabinet officers were not returned they should neither repeat them nor send one of the inmates thereof an invitation to dinner, ball, or lunch. This has brought the "Cabinet ladies" to their senses. Mrs. Blaine, the premiere dam, with the energy and tact which distinguished her illustrious husband in settling the American hog-trichina muddle, has got the call question out of its tangle, and all is quiet on the Potomac The Republicans are beginning to get sick of the deadlock, and may conclude to come to Democratic terms during the week. To make the Star Route iniquity as black as possible, the name of Hayes is introduced. FEKSOXALS. ll is said that Mary Anderson, the actress, will soon be married. Jcr;E Childs, of Kansas City, has abolished the practice of smoking in his Court. Lief, the Norseman, who discovered New En gland, is to have a monument in Boston. Governor Colquitt has announced himself as a candidate for the Senate to succeed Senator Hill. Admiral Glyn, to whom Miss JXeilson left her fortune, proposes to devote 115,000 to charities connected with the histrionic profession. President Gaf.kii.d, who is going to visit Mr. Hoar in June, has been formally invited to attend the New England Fair at Worcester, in September. A mono other Easter charities of the Pope were the gift of 100 beds to the poorest families in Kerne, and presents to 500 families of at least ten francs each. A Philadelphia miracle worker claims to have rured Colonel Thomas A. Scott of paralysis by laying ou hands, and Colonel Scott says it is true; but his physicians say that no cure has been effected by anybody. The bridegroom at a Muscatine (O.) wedding put on his hat and overcoat immediately after the ceremony, said "Good-by" to his wife, ex plained to the guests that he had no intention of living with her, and coolly departed. Lord Beaconseield is reported to have grown to look strangely old during the last days of his illness. From a rather gallant and trim gentleman he suddenly turned into a haggard and decrepit old man, huddled together in a deep chair. A man supposed to be deranged passed down the rapid current of the Des Moines River astride a log, during a freshet keeping an upright position by means of an oac He shonted to the spectators that he was bound for New Orleans, and hadn't time to stop. John Brown gave the Bible which he read in prison before his execution to J. F. Blessing, of Charlestown, Va. In it he wrote: "There is no commentary in the world so good in order to a right understanding of this blessed book as an honest, childlike and teachable spirit" Henri Rociiefort's hatred of his old antagonist Emile de Girardin. is not appeased even by death. n a pitiless obituary notice he says of Girardin, 'the great hatcher of politics and financial schemes has now encountered the only thing that can not be turned into shares death." Only two members of the family of Alice and Phoebe Caryareuow living their two brothers who are prosperous farmers in Ohio. The old oak tree ol Clovernook, under which Alice Cary played as a child, and about which she write long afterward, is still standing sturdily near her old home. Miss Bronson, the fearless nurse who exposed herself in Grenada, Miss., at the bedside of the dying inhabitants, and subsequently in Memphis and New Orleans, has just been left a fortune by her father, an eccentric old man, who hoarded his gold and refused to live in any kind of habitation except an old canal boat The wile of Mr. Rice' eloped at Charlestown, Iowa. He hurriedly looked for his wallet, found it was as full as when he had last seeu it, and said that he felt no further concern about the matter: but a few days afterward, when he discovered that it was stuffed with scraps of paper Instead of money, his interest was revived. Washington planted-' a magnolia tree in the Mount Vernon grounds a few months before his death. The tree became a fine one, and until this year it was regarded as one of the spring attractions of the place. During the last winter it was much Injured by the severe cold. Many of the shrubs around were killed outright Miss Emma Thvrsby has bad a prosperous tour through Holland, followed, by a second through France. She sang at the concert of the Conservatoir on April 3. and met with such success that she was invited to sing again at the ensuing con certan unusual honor. From Paris Miss Thnrsby went to Spain, where she has tome engage, ments. She intends to spend part of the teason in London. " The diplomats and Senators at Washington have all been going to the circus within the last few days. Vice President Arthur did not disdain the attractions ot the elephants and lions, the clowns and the gymnasts; and Senator Anthony got a renewed attack of rheumatism under the canvas. Even Senator Sherman's grave face was visible, and the British Minister made up a party and took forty seats. Dr. Oscar Lenz, the German traveler, has been much entertained iu Berlin, upon his rtturn from Timbuctoo. He is very modest in his relation of nls achievements. The Emperor, hearing of Dr. Lenz's arrival, desired to make his personal ac quaintance, and granted him a long interview, during which he listeued with, deep interest to the graphic accounts of the almost unknown lands traversed by the courageous traveler. The departure of Miss Ada Cavendish, wh. sailed for England on Thursday, was observed with sincere regret by many friends. Her career in this country has shown ;her to be an actress of brilliant abilities, and her simple, gentle, straightforward nature and many graces of aoind have greatly endeared her la many American homes where her name wui ue xept m honor and affection, and her return anticipated with honest pleasure. .

Kloquent Remarks of Senator Voarhect at the Unveiling of Farragut's Statue. The statute of Admiral Farragut. was un veiled in Washington City on Monday. Mr. Voorhees, amid loud applause, advanced to the front of the speakers' platform and said : Ladies and Gentlf.mkn This Is an omunnn nn which the best emotions of the American heart are inspired. We are here to pay ceremonial honors o the memory ef one whose deeds ol peril au4 ofhhth renown In defence of his country adorn more than half a century of bis country's history. No good life is ever wholly extinguished even in this world. lie who has lived for the welfare of his fellow men, for the cause of free and enlightened government and to enlarge the boundaries of human happiness lives on forever, even here upon the shores of time. Förtha benefactors of tne human race there is no death. The centuries may move on in an eudless procession over their graves: human societr may be transformed bv rev olutions: the world may be earned by the soirt of frogress from old conditions to new ones, yet the n.luences of the philanthropist, the hero and tne lawgiver, in eternal strength and beauty, will keep puce with them ail. and etve color and shane to the conduct of the remotest generations. It is in recognition of this great fact that statues and monuments have arisen all over the face of the civilized globe. The influences of the illustrious dead are always active in the a flairs of the world, and the wish has been strong in every age to perpetuate their form and features and to transmit mem to posterity, ihis dur and hour the Gov ernment of the Lnited States unveils to the world the statue of Farragut the statue of a naval commander finit in American history and second to no one who has handled chips in battle since the day on which Themistocles beat Xerxes at "Sea Born Salamis." Happy and fortunate is he who stands in brass or marble at the behest of a grateful country and in time to be gazed upon by those who knew and loved him iu life. ' THE AMERICAN KAVY. He then proceeded to give a lone and interest ing history of the American Navy from the year Ina, when tne Continental Congress enacted its first legislation iu regard thereto, down to the present day. and commented in words of praise and honor upon Admiral Farragut's distinguished career. In the beginning of the century, he said. he (Farragut) had learned the lesson of naval warfare under the old svstem of wood and sails and in the open sea, but he had kept pace with tne spirit of American progress and soon showed that lie was master ol the problems of steam and iron and at home in river, bay or ha'bor. He em braced within himself all of the splendid associations, patriotism and courage of the Navy of the past, together with a full appreciation of the ad vancements of modern science. To complete his character as a hero, his love of country was not merely a conviction of duty: it was tnat. and more, it was the ruling passion of his soul. He loved the flag with all of a sailor's affection, and his allegiance to his Government was more of a deep reverence for that power in whose service he.'iad fought and whose name and fame had been his joy from childhood than an ordinary sense of attachment. the glories of the war. With a lofty and stern enthusiasm, but without bitterness of heart he struck the rebellion its hardest blows and gave his name to immorality in the restoration of the American Union. But why dwell in this presence upon the War for the possession of ihe Father of Waters? Why recount the glories and the dangers of thefwts of New Orleans and ol Vickstaunr on this .occasion? Whv tell of the dread magnificence of Mobile Bay to those who are listening to me now? I see many here who were in the name and smoke of those terrible conflicts and whose names will descend to posterity with that of their great commander. Thev saw him at his best ; they saw him with the light of battle in his lace; they shw Dim intrepid in action aud humane in victory; they saw his scorn for '.personal danger and heard his orders given with coolness and precision when aloft in the rigging of his ship, under a fire as strong and as accurate as everassailed a Meet. I am speaking to those who were with him from the beginning to the ead from January. 1862, to April, 1S65 during three years aud three months of continuous triumph and honor. You know his deeds and his fame. His r lace is first among the naval heroes of history. His ii no second name In the roll-call of the sea kings of the world. Nelson died in the arms of victory and was buried amid the sobs of the EnglLsh Nation in Westminster Abbey, but there is a higher -niche m the Temple of Fame for the American Admiral than for the British peer. To beat the French at sea three-ouarters of a century ago was an easier task than to reduce batteries and capture ships manned by Americans and defended by all the improvements of modern warfare. HONORS TO THE PEAP In other countries Farragut would have been decorated with honors and worn the title of Duke or Earl, with the income of a Prince. We gave bim the highest rank known to his profession, aud have decreed hint a statue in tne Capital. And now soon these assembled thousands will disappear from this consecrated spot, and Farraicut will be left alone, aa he- stands revealed by the magic power of art. But others will come ta look upon the commanding presence in the days and in the years and in the far distant centuries of the future. The American youth will here re sort to beholding one whose boyhood was the bright, heroic dawn of a life so useful and so in spiring to noble deeds. Old age will pause and anger here in rapid admiration ol one who with the weight of three score years and more upon him crowded the evening of his life so full of glory in the defense of his country. Presidents, lawmakers. - heads of deoariments and rmblic officials of every grade will visit this spot as long as American partriotism endures to reverence one whose life was dedicated to public duty in his childhood and who left the world with no blemish upon any part of his loiur career. The soldier and the sailor will come to gxze upon the face of the bravest of the brave and to drtnk in lessons of courage and fidelity for future wars, if they should unhappily befall ua. The American citizen of every calling and of every section, as long as the Republic exists, will here dwell with emotions of pride upon a character too great for divided love among nis countrymen.

The Vander burgh Historical Society, at its regular meet ing last Saturday, adopted the following memorial and resolutions in regard to the death of General Joe Lane, of Oregon : The Deonle of Van d erb ore h County have learned with deep ana sincere sorrow of the de cease of General Joseph Lane, who died at his home at Roseburgh, Oregon, on Tuesday, the 19th day of April, at the advanced aire of seventy-nine years, lour montns ana nve aays; ana wnne tne exnression of regret has been universal over the departure of a noble and good man. who was for more than half tfee years of bis life an honored citizen of Indian, and who had bjen repeatedly made the recipient of high and important trusts by the suffrages of the voters of Vanderburgh and the adjoining CuuntliS, the memberx of thia Society who knew him personally, and many of whona were actively .enfged in the imbue anairs wnerem uenerai Lane oorea copspicuohs part, feel that in his death they have . . . . . i i : . k. . v. . lost a inena ana corn paainjii juenuucu iui tiiciu in the struggles of life-by ties never tobe forgotten until the shadows of death usher ii npou as that las-t loin; "sleep that knows no waLing." General Jasepn Lane was a citizen ol V anoerburgh County from in time of its organization, in IH'JS, until his appointaientto the office of Govern' or of Oregon Territory in 1H48. while his family maintained their residence here until 18j3. During those years he was five times e'cted a Montr berof the Lower nouseoi ineuenerai Asecnioiy. of Indiana. amVtwiee elected a iiember of the State Senate." He aetea a conspicuous part u snapin Z the legislation J our stawandlniMt, as rrhairmii of the Joint Commitlee of the two Hou-ses of the Indiona Lgisiatur ne coniriDuiea largely by his veteand influence, to the passage ot th woli-known Butler bill, whereby tie indebt edness of the State was gradually liquidated and the real Comaioaweaitn ol Indiana tavea lion the dark stigma of repudiatiock When war was oeciarea wiu wexwo, in lotlowing summer, be at once eatered the ranks. In ravld succession lie was maje voiuuci oi uw oew ond Regiment of Indiana volunteers, by the choice of the Company ameers, ana urigaaier General by the appoin tment of President Polk. His military career is pan ot tne nisiory ci me country. It is without spot or blemish. His gallnnt defense of th Indiana volunteers from un just aspersions, cast upon their action at the battie ol Buena v lata, maaes luv uui ui iu ic eran of the Mexican War awell with gratitude whenever the theme is mentioned. At the close of that War the people of Vanderburgh County, without regard to political or other divisions of sentiment gave General Lane aright roval welcome home on his return to the bosom of his family and the companionship of his friends. The cordial speech of congratulation delivered at

I

I the banquet of "Welcome Hctne to the Marion of ne jtexiran War." delivered by the Um en ted Jtmes E. Blythe. and the tearful response by Gen eral Lane, constitute a part of the history of Vanderburgh Comity, forever to- be treasured hi the minds and hearts of tne people who witnessed the proceedings. " Soon after his return home from Mexico General Laue received his appointment in Oregon, and renewed his connection with civil lite. A few years later be again enjoyed the public congratulations of his old friend and neighbors whm he returned to oar midst as the delegate in Congress from Oregon Territory. His civil record lu the representative branch of C'-ongresa, and in tike Senate of the United States, belongs to Oregoa and the whole N't Lion alike. Knowing the warth aud the virtues of General Joeeph Lane, the members of this Society, of which he was an honorary member, and had coniriDuiea mereto very vaiuabte papers and memoranda, and in the suces whereof be manifested the deepest interest feel tfett in his death we have lost a sincere and anient friend, and we nave a nwiancnoiy santtfaction tn this sad hour of paying a tribute to the-memory ef tbe gallant and heroic ded.

The following interview took place at Leavenworth, InL, the hesue of Senator Deuz, a day or two since : I don't think I wonM have thoflo-ht of the In diana legislature to-day bad I not met Hoik John liens, who represents Crawford and Orange Coautie in the State Senate, "John ltcnz," as ho rs so well and familiarly known in Indiana, is a smart, level-headed Dutchman." and ias- as much sense to the square inch1 in his head a any ma-a I koowof. He keeps a store here in Leavenworth, and as he and I have been members of the Indiana Leislatnre for the past eight or ten years. my memoersnip Deing confined to the third lloor, weare both well ncquaintel.and I hatTan interest ing chat with htm about the "doings" in Indiaaajx.Hs last winter. It ran about this way:: tsenz, wnat, in tne name of all that's good. have you fellows been doing la Indianapolis all wimrr. Well. I will just tell you how it was. Von ongbt to have been there. Lord, how Bell, Men nes, Brown, llelron and us fellows missed: you. e outgeneraled the Republicans from the start. It happened this way. You know Senator Gruhbs? Welt Grubbs he wanted to lead the Senate for the KepuMicans, and he was the man to do in; but there was Chapman, and he wanted to lead, and as both had their friends, they all sp.it up, and so the- Republicans in the Senate had no head. Grubbs was so disgusted with Chapman and: the way tnnigs were going mat ne quit having- anything to say at all, and let the Democrats- do as they please. Jason Brown and Bob Bell would make a meal out of a Republican daily, aud before we had been in session two weeks the Republicans were completely whipped. I felt sorry for the poor fellows. They were aiwavs becgine the question with our side; and then Porter, he had so disappointed them. What you said about Porter during the campaign was true as the Bible. There ia nothing in him at all. The Republican Members of the Legislature despise him. He would not even attend their caucuses and refused to come to the Legislature to attend to important business. He compelled the Committee on Knroiled Bills to walk way dowti to his office ounng the coldest days last winter, though a room iu the Court House was tendered him. He is the weakest man that was ever Governor of any State. He not only did sot assist his party in the Legislature, but he iayorert it. You just ought to have heard the leading Republicans in the State curse him as I have heard. They say he is a 'd d upstart and a fool.' " "Did you enact any important legislation at all?" "No : not ntueh. if any. We passed a very good assessment law and most of the revised acts. You see tbe Republicans got all torn up among themselves,, and dd not work together to pass anything. All the important bills passed were engineered through by ihe Democrats. January 1 the House was Republican by fourteen mautrity. Well, it did not do anything. On the last lawmaking night ol tbe session, about 11 o'clock, they sent us the specific appropriation bill. Of couie, the Senate could do nothing with an Important bill of that kind in an bour's time, so it died for want of time to consider it." You did nothing with the fees and salaries? "No, sir; not a thing." "Did the Republicans want to pass a fee and salary bill?" "No, not muah they didn't They were afraid it would hurt their party, but they hnrt their party bad enough in that prohibitory liquor law amendment..'" "Do you think it is a mortal wound?" "To be sure. The Republican party will never get the German vote in this State again. This is twice, now. that the Republicans have gone back on their German friends, once in 72 on the Baxter law, and. to time on its prohibitory law. They won't be fooled again." "I suppose all the Republicans are delighted in having Ben llarroa hi the Senate?" "Delighted! My God! they are dlgusted with him already. If the election was to do over General Gresham. weald get three votes to bSs one. Delighted with-Bea Harrison? Why he is cursed by the Republicans all over the State. They say that he is a narrow-minded, conceited, selfish coxcomb, who thiaks of himself first and a small clique of friends a round Indianapolis afterward." "So all is not lovely In the Republican party of Indiana?" "No. indeed ;;it is all split up. Tbe leaders have been cutting eacft other's throats eves since thelast election." "There will.be-aaother extra session of the Legislature this fall, -onl there V "Yes, I think so. Porter says he woa't call one, but I guess he will have to next October." "You regard this State as certain for the Demo crats hereafter,, do you not?" "l est you know tnat witnou'. the Kads spend half a million of dollars in this State we can always carry it Ithmkthat next year it will to Democratic by 20.000 majority, and I do not be lieve that it will ever again go Republican money or no money." v The Star Boute Rascalities. .A Washington special says: The inquiry so far has disclo6e! the greatoet irregularity and looseness in the managemer t of the contract system, and evidence of perjury ou the part of.ooutraetors and dummies Is accumuiating .tepidly,. that having been one of the ream agencies in tccivring increased pay. The way .in which this-buauies was mannged was this, as toe investigation has developed it: Kids were advert tised lor a line with slow service ana infrequent trips, which, of course, costs th least money. Contractors who were in the ring bid very low fur these oontraots. and got them as the lo West bid--I ders, because they knew what waa coming. After a few months- petitions were got up for-:are rapid service and soore frequent trips on tbe line. Such petitions are easily got. Thereupon the contractor was asked what he thought the neeessary cost oft the increased service wo Aid be. and either he or some tfiuamy or confederate of his swore that it would coat so much, and on th: simple i amaavi tne q,uicxer ana more irequeuisemce was ordered at the contractor's own prije. with out publication or advertisement, or competition. Here isan msotnee: Mr. Jon K. 'Minrir was in-. terested in lssüin abont uiaety contracts, lie had the advantage of being an intimat friend of: Mr.. Dorsey. at whose bouse, Mr. Dorsey once teatl&ed, Mr.. Stiver used commonly to stop, when in j Washington, In March, 18. J, Mr. Maierwassoi lucky as to get the contraction the Bi mark atd.!

Lu the Auetut of the nexa year he. -sot an or4ue to make six trips a week, and for this he got !jvta more. 1 Won't Stad by ll'jady.. A Washington srecfcl of the ?6th to the Gazette says: Genera) Brady's' friends ar cndcajcsins? to create the im pressloa that the. people of Indiana are filled with indication because of bJ removal from o&e. A prciainent and well-known Republican gentleman of Indianapolis denies that such steeling exiüs in Ind una, aud writes to a friend in this city as follows: "Insist on a tlkroutrh iii?estigatiin. I do not heal f a single friendly wbrd for Brady here. The report that Republicans will stand by Brady is talse. Everywdy, except a fe bound to bin V.y obligations for past favors. dvuounCeS bits.
