" Thi Republican party is sole owner of the bloody chasm where Garfield fell, and 90 far it has not been bridged so that Elaine and Conkhng can cross over and hug. "A ecll in a china shop is too trivial a figure to give a faint suggestion of the per ils threatened bv Mr. Blaine in the State Department." So says the New York Times, the boss organ of the Republican party. Recektly in an article in this paper we saidt "Flease or displease whdm it may, help or hurt whatever political party or per son it. may, in this whole business of dealing with the liquor question there are just two plain, broad roads to travel. One the Re publican highway to statute prohibition and practical failure, the other via the Dem ocratic highway of a common sense recogni tion of existing conditions, and based there on such judicious and practical . legislation in regard to the matter as conditions at the time warrant Choose ye every man for himself hich road you will travel." We repeat it again to-day, that our readers may have it impressed upon their minds, satisfied as we are that the statement will bear the most searching criticism. . SUBMITTING QUESTIONS TO THE PEOPLE. When any question of vital importance is up for discussion, and the purpose is to embody its salient features in a statute or in the organic law of the State, any consideration of propriety and justice demands that the issue should be sharply defined, made as prominent as possible and submitted to the people at the earliest day practicable, and as often as practicable, before final action is had. The propriety of such a course can not be doubted. It must be admitted. Such a question is now before the people of Indiana. The demand is to state it fairly, to make the lines that map out the issue as vivid as possible. The question is importait. It touches interests and rights. It involves considerations of morals, money, investments, industries, work and wages, in fact almost every question within the range of political economy. Surely the people of Indiana will not be indifferent when such a question is up for discussion. They will want to vote upon it at the earliest day practicable. What is the question? It is this: Shall the Constitution of the State be so amended as to prohibit the manufacture and sale of vinous, malt and alcoholic liquors within the State? That is the question; and the Legislature of Indiana has submitted it to the people. It is now up for discussion, and is to be voted upon in November next If the people of ' Indiana want that sort of an amendment to the Constitution of the State they will elect members to the Legislature who are in favor of it If they do not want such an amendment to the organic law they will elect Itepresentaives who awe opposed to it Thus it is that the question of prohibition is to be submitted to the people this fall, and every voter in the State will have an opportunity to declare his sentiments. There are those who say: "We are opposed to prohibition; we do not believe the people of the State desire to emulate the absurdities of Maine and Kansas, but we . favor the submission of the proposition to the people." If these opponents to the prohibition movement will reflect for a moment they will see with convincing clearness that the question is to be submitted to the people in November. It i3 now an issue, from which there is no escape. If these citizens, after grasping and grouping all the facts, are opposed to prohibition they can vote upon the question as certainly on next election day as upon any future day. The outlying consequences of these votes can be estimated now, and then, as certainly as two years hence. Elsewhere prohibition legislation and Constitutions have been signal failures. Indiana can anticipate no better results. AGREEMENT BEFORE SUBMISSION. Some of our esteemed contemporaries seem to think that the only duty of the next Legislature is to submit the prohibition amendment passed by the last Whereas the law plainly says: "If in the General Assembly" next chosen such proposed amendment shall be agreed to it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to submit such amendment to the electors cf the State." It will be seen here from that submission is not a question at all. The submission is imperative, if it pass the Legislature. The fint question is whether it shall b agreed to, not whether it shall' be submitted. The submission is a thing of course if the amendment be approved by a majority of the next General Assembly. It was not the intention of the framers of the Constitution, or of the people in adoping it, that every whim or freak which happened to pass a single session of the Legisture should by consequence pass a second, and necessarily be submitted to the people. On the contrary, it is clearly provided in that instrument that no such measure shall be submitted unless the people wish it submitted and express that wish by the vote of their Senators and Representatives in the "General Assembly next chosen." The amendment has been once agreed to by the Legislature. Shall it be agreed to a second time? If it be agreed to a second time it mwt be submitted; if not, there is no use of submission, nor any provision for it The propriety of the amendment, the policy of the amendment is now before the people for approval or disapproval. If it be approved of by the choice of a majority of Äl?5eüjbljmen who shall be in its favor, it
will then be submitted; if it fail cf approva
that is the end of it because th people say by that action. We do not wbA to have it submitted, nor to consider it further. The voter who favors prohibition should vote for a Senator or Representative who will agree to the amendment One who is opposed to prohibition will vote for some such member who will notagre to it; neither need trouble about the question of submission, because that is absolutely provided for if it, be agreed to. For our part we are opposed to the amend ment We think it wronK." It is a duty to defeat a wrong at the first opiortunity.. The first OPDOrtunitv is in November next We have then a general election. We can then have a much fuller and fairer expression of pablic sentiment than at a special election held at a great trouble and expense to the people, at some special time afterward to determine a question which the people may and can as well determine before. If this be anti-Democratic then the Constitution of Indiana is so; yet two-thirds of the Conven tion which made it and of the people who. adopted it were Democrats. They evidently directed and provided that a proposition to change the organic law of the State should not be submitted to the people unless the people desired its submission. This is the very core and heart of popular sovereignty to consult the will of the people in all things, and at the earliest occasion. The Republican party can not lone survive after it lall into the hands of "botnes" and "machine ' managers. If defeat does not overtake it. as It Is almt certain to in closelr contested elections, It loses rear by year the confidence ana respect 01 the people, its tone is lowered, men of small caliure or uuuDiiuiuiirtcufr,; mit puuui- powuuu, and the party must expect finally to die of dry rot The unit rule is a device of the "bosses" to IV 1 I - , I . .

Star lUep.) If the Star is correct then the Republican party is doomed, for it has been in the "hands of bosses" for a number of years, and, what is worse, the bosses have been of the Dorsey stripe. Well-informed Republicans read the handwriting on the wall, and thousands of the belter class are satisfied that their party ought not to survive. CCKKENT NOT KS. Senator IUyard will deliver an address on Daniel Webster at the Dartmouth College commence rnent. Senator Loga will leave Hot Springs, Ark., about May 6 and go to Washington a few days later. His health is thought to be much improved. Mr. Belmont says that be is not only sur prised, but astonished, at the support be Is re ceiving from the press.

Pietro Gasparonc, the renowned brigand chief, expired the other day In an Asylum for the Poor near Naples, aged ninety.

Indianapolis Republican journalism, and the same may truthfully be said of Western Republican journalism in general, gathers a arge amount of its political inspiration from the New York Times. That paper, in a recent article, which we give in full below, pronounces Mr. Llaine "about the most dan- . . t rirrons man inai covin nave oem placed in charge of the foreign relation of the (iitrernm nt. This is undoubtedly true, and-we commend the opinion and the entire article to the careful consideration of a brood of Republicans and Republican newspapers. some of whom and which have their beine n this city. The Times article says : Nobody is willin to regard the tragic interrup tion of the Administration of President Garfield as anything but a National calamity, and yet in the light of the admissions made by his becreury cf State it is almost appalling to reflect upon the possible consequences oi the vigorous foreign policy which was inaugurated under It nominal sanction. Mr. Blaine insists that the President was cognizant of all his plans and purposes in dealing with foreign questions, and that his action had Mr. Garfield's sympathy and ap proval. If this is so, it is more than doubt ful whether the President comprehended the drift and the almost inevitable results of the course that the State Departmeut waa pursuing, and it is certain that some ol the deeper purposes of the head of the Cabinet were beyond his ken. The President was one of the most patriotic of men, and he no doubt Intended to exercise the utmost prudence in directing the policy of his Administration ; but he was a confiding man, and to Mr. Blaine he seems to have given his fullest confidence. This is the more remarkable as tne Secretary was known to be a daring and impetu ous politician rather than a cautious and discreet statesman upon whose judgment implicit reliance could be placed. He was. In fact, about the most dangerous man that could have been put lu charge of the foreign relations of the Government. It is not necessary to impeach Mr. Blaine's personal integrity, as that quality is understood by men of his stamp, in concluding that he was bent upon trouble with foreign Nations. We may acquit him, even, of any conscious purpose of involving the country iu serious difficulty, but that bis course, if boldly pursued as it was begun, would have produced that result is as clear as the noonday sun. Mr. Blaine was ambitious for a brilliant Administratlon in which he should be the chief figure, and unquestionably he looked beyond it to another of which he khould be the real head. He thought to rouse the pride and enthusiasm of the Ameriean people by asserting the influence and power of the Nation on this continent. It was with this view that he sought to Interpose In the South Americaa conflict and bring about peace between Chili and Peru, a peace in which the United States should be the mediator and which should leave it with a paramount Influence with both Republics. It is hardly conceivable that he had auy sordid alms connected with the pre fits uf guano and the nitrate of soda. The Landreau claim, as be says, was but a "fly on the whel" of the chsrlot of American policy. It was with the same view that he warned all foreign Nations from the Amwicau Isthmus, and sought the abrogation of the main features of the treaty which gave Great Britain a voice in the control of interoceanic transit. He had the tame thing1 in mind
In Interposing In the bound ry dispute between Mexico and Guatemala, and it waa at the bottom of his visionary plan for a grand league of the Independent Nations of the Wettern Continent. In all this Mr. Blaine conceived that be was working for the greatness ar . glory of the Republic and bis own podtlcal destiny at the same time. It was a Napoleonic scheme based on the moral suasion and the Imposing influence of the country's latent power, but it was a scheme that could only be carried out by battalions and fleets. Mr. Blaine says his purpos was peace, peace among American Nations and with all the world, and yet every step involved In his grand project would have been in the direction of war. His amiable advances on the west coast of . South America would hot have been reciprocated by Chill or appreciated by Peru. His purposes eouid not be enforced by moral suatlon, and to lu it upou them would have led to resentment and resistance. Interposition elsewhere was also calculated to cause irritation, and the people concerned had no disposition to act upon terms dictated by the United States. Colombia would not have accepted the plan of excluding European influence from the Isthmus, and progress in that direction would have been stopped unless force was resorted to. The amicable league of American Nations was utterly impracticable, for none of them, not even the United States, cared for IL Next to this friendly union of continent, Mr. Blslne'a predominant idea was
the exclusion of all European influence: but tu rope had interests in South America, and even north of Panama, which it wonld not have given up under the pressure of moral suasion. Mr. Blaine miscalculated all the forces which he proposed to call into action. He assumed a senument in South American and Central Amer ican oopulatlons which did not exist and could not be evoked. He overestimated the political potency of moral suasion and tnenaiy proiessions. lie misunderstood the extent and relations of American and European interests on this conti nent outside of the United States, and he dlsre garded the inevitable attitude of transatlantic Nations toward the complications which bis course was calculated to bring about. He even showed no understanding of the spirit of hisown country men. A bull In a china shop is too trivial a figure to give a faint suggestion of the perils threatened by Mr. Blaine iu the State De partment. Had be remained there with the free dom to dash about in nls own way the amsenuences would have been trouble on all sides. with no outcome but war. Of course the danger ous Minister would have been caught and put under restraint before ho had succeeded in getting us into conflict with the rest of the werld, for a peaceful Nation, intent upon industry and trade. with no army and no desire for one. with no navy ana no wish for any except as a precaution against possible aroresalon. would not have al lowed itself to be dragged into war witn half a duzen armed Nations by an ambitious ana notheaded politician.

The damage to wheat in Clay and adjoin' ng Counties has been comparatively light. Mr. J.W.

He thinks the slight advance in the price of wheat was due to monopolists altogether. iirazil Register. Mr. Samuel P.

Charles Tucker, a small boy about thir teen years of age, and who has for several years been an inmate of the County Poor House, was found dead early Monday morn ing near the barn. During Sunday after noon and evening he was walking about the orchard and late in the evening discovery was made that he was missing. Search was immediately mane, but nothing of his whereabouts could be found. Late Sunday night the search was abandoned until the following morning, when his remains were discovered as above stated. As he was af flicted with epilepsy all his life there can be no doubt as to the cause of his death. Cor oner Vickrey deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquest and the remains were properly laid at rest on Monday. Tipton Times.

A Washington special to Chicago Times says: Senator Don Cameron was too 111 to go over to Philadelphia to attend the proposed conferance with the Independents. Ilia ailment is of a char acter that does not satisfy the Independents when onered as an excuse tor non-attenaance from the Philadelphia meeting. The illness of Don Cameron is a chronic indisposition that shows itself in nearly daily attacks, and at times so prostrates the Senator that ho is obliged to rest from his public duties In a Senate Committee room until a peaceful sleep has restored his nervous system, overwrought by this mytterlous malady that renders him morose, surly, taciturn, and almost indifferent as to what is said about him. He of late associates very little with his fellow-Senators, and is seldom seen In the Senate Chamber. The owner of a great fortune, the husband cf a beautiful wife, the possessor of one of the finest homes in Washington, the Pennsylvania Senator ought to be an object of envy, but he is not. ' He Is fearful of losing his power in Pennsylvania. Added to this he has conjured up devices to make himself unhappy. Married to a young and beautiful lady, he has, within the past year, become insanely jealous. His jealousy is of the silliest possible character, because it Is absolutely without cause. There was never. a more discreet, retiring woman than tbe wife of Don Cameron. His jealousy, however, takes the usual form of desiring to isolate his family from all the ordinary social relations of Washington. He rules as the autocrat and absolute dictator at home aa he would in the polltics of his State. Refusing to appear at the Philadelphia Conference, he has affronted the Independents. Now be ia ready to go even further. He, in hla present mood, Is against any compromise. He bad a long conference with the President this evening, to arrange a programme of Stalwart aggression In Pennsylvania to stamp out the Independents now clamoring so loudly in the name of reform for a aha re of the spoils. How far the President will go in supporting the sulky Senator remains to be seen. Ipto the present time President Arthur has permitted Cameron to have hia own way in Pennsylvania affairs, completely ignoring Mitchell, tbe Inde pendent Senator, who Is a very small man, very Ignorant, and inexperienced in public affairs.
TUE LAXD LEAGUE.
Meeting of the ritate League at the Grand Hotel. The State Land League of Indiana me yesterday morning at Room No. 7 Grand Hotel. There was a good representation of the Divisions throughout the State, and the meeting was quite harmonious. T. K. Barjett, of this city, was selected as President of the meeting, and Paul Fitzgerald, of Rushville, Secretary. A Committee on Plans, consisting of Messrs. Smelser, Harris, Esran and Carroll, was appointed, after which the Convention adjourned for dinner. At 2:ö0 o clock übe Convention r eastern bled, and tbe Committee on Plans reported recommending that the State otganizttion be formed by the election of a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. The ieport was adopted, after whlth an elec tion of officers was held, which resulted as follows: State President, II. R. Harris, of Michigan City: Vice President, Paul Fit cerald, of Rushville; Secretary, Ed F. Hart, Indianapolis; Treasurer, James T. Dowling, Indianapolis. The above officera are to be known as the Executive Committee. A Committee on Constitution and Ry Laws was then apiointcd as follows: James Smelser, inchmond: John Carroll, Itushville, and P. II. McNellis, of Indianapolis. This Committee will draft a constitution and by laws, which will be presented to the hex Starfa Convention, to be held in this city within the next ninety days, after the ad journnient of the temporary organization Speeches were then made by Messrs Dowling. Harris, Hart and Smelser. Mr, Smelser's remarks were very well timed and met with loud applause. He spoke as fol lows: Gextlemem of the Convention' The main question and corner-stone on which the Land League of both Ireland and America rests and is building a beautiful system of thought that is destined to rule the world Is not political, but social. Nor is it in any particular or very exclusive sense an Irish issue, it reaches out in an direc tions and touches beneficially the interest of suf fering humauity everywhere It is but a part of the great struggle which ever has beeu since man iu hin forward movement stepped over the boundary line of barbarism into the progressive tlTiIizatiou oi to-day: a struggle oetweea the lew a; U the many; between the rich and poor: be tween the meek and stroug; between the toil lng. struggling masses who labor and create wealth, and the monopolistic class who, manipulate, consume and destroy it. Iiis a conflict between barbarim and civilization and between despotism and liberty. OCR PCTY. Ireland, out from the depths of her humiliation and poverty; Ireland, a marvel of patience under suneriug: without any Kina oi parauci in tne world's history, is appealing to us for sympathy and help and lor appreciation and recognition She is pointing us bickward through the mists of centuries ta her once happy, peacelu aud prosper oushomes homes that were the abode of refinemem aud culture, of luxury and elegance when the was the natural. rignt.ui owuer the land, as Cod and nature intended, sne points us to a time when she was the very nursery of saints and the refuge of KCieuce; to Atsinngh, with Its7,u00 students, aud Cash el aud Llsmure vleiug with it in renown. She points to her iiopulatiou of millions, teeming with lite and activity; to her heroes and statesman, her orators aud patriots; to her manufactories aud Industries, to her Parliament aad geuerous laws all crowned, adorned aud beautititd by a loving Christianity. here are all these blessings now aud this good? They live lu memory, buried down deep in the hearts of a longsuffennz. sorclv-tricd and allllcted peot: and the answer comes to us in sad and frightful echo, that startles aud almost bewilders tue Im agination, that her lands have been wautouly aud ruthlessly confiscated by the English Crown, to sati.-ly ambition aud lust for power and all the baser potions of man: that her places of learning have been destroyed by the tyrant's band; that Armagh. Cashel and Llsinorehave been forgotten. aud a Nation of people reduced to illiteracy; that her population has been reduced oy unwilling exile aud fearfully decimated by artificial famine; that her heroes and patriots have become iniirtyrs to the cause of liberty , that her manufactures and industries have been paralyzed by an infernal penal code, and even that her Christianity has beeu made to wither and sutler under a most cruel taxation. These are not, however, all, nor the worst of all. ror 2W years Ireland has been desjoiled of her Industry by a diabolical system of rack-rents and taxes, to toe amount of billions of dollars, so that to-day she presents a spectacle of squalor and poverty which, considering the natural intelligence, morality, industry aud domestic virtues of her people, is without a parallel anywhere. HER EFFORT TO T.I8K. And now when Ireland, ir. spired vrlth the loftiest hope, actuated by the purest love of liberty, and with a patience and repose trulv sublime. aks for ner natural iuhtr Itaucc iu the laud, for the ciual reward of her labor when sne a&ks that the 2,3u0,uou of her people may exchange the unfit, uuhealthy mud hovel for the nleasi'.nt cottage home: when she asks that her children may be educated to honer and usefulness, and when sbe asks that she may take her true place among the Nations he is met bv direct insult The heavily mailed hand of English despotism and Englaud s '"peculiar resources of civilization" aie made U coufroüt her at every step. The policy toward treiana is tnat oi migni against right; it is the policy of blood and the dungeon, coercion and eviction, and police and army. These are her favorite methods for its repression and subjugation. To successfully combat aud overcome these false social forces, we shonld inaugurate and work to bring about an age of greater enlisht ment and truer social thought au age of right. fraternity aud equality; of universal lutelligeuce, universal industry, aud universal liberty aud re ward. To this end. and with this grand consum mation of good in view, we trust that the Laud Lcaeiie organization, whether local, uouuty. Stale or National, will direct its united, its best, and its untiring energies. Let the Irish people oi America, and all those wno love justice, equality aud freedom, conceutrapa their effort through compact organization, and send to Irelaud ample materiaiaid to support them in tneir determined resistance against British oppression, but more es pecially tosend them aconstaut,ever(lovvlngstream of light that will literally Hood it, and washout the driit of prejudice aud all veneration lor past ufagesaud customs. I have said, and will repeat it here that could the "Irish World" be placed by every neartn-side, ana on every airifioor in Ireland for a few mouths, it would be equal to a proclamation of emancipation to that enslaved, over-taxed and rack rented people.

That it is murder; that It is deep crime against humanity, and siu against a benevolent God who delights in the happiness ot all His creatures. It needs to be taught, in the beautiful language of Bishop Nulty, "that the land of a country belongs lu justice and right to the people of that country." It needs to be taught that labor i Go l-viven and honorable; that the laborer is entitled to the full fruit of hU industry, and that fair and eauaitble exchange of the products of iadustry is the only legitimate business oi properly orgaulzed society; uu. lu abbreviation, it neeas to learu tne lesron. so fearfully impressed on the world in iu past, that every fofhi and pliftse of niAnopoly. whclher it be political, social or intellectual, is but rankest desiKHism, and in direct opposition to govern ment by the people and the liberty of the indi vidual, an 1 that it ought to be. in this advanced age of light and love, trodden under foot as on iusult to man' reason and to humanity. And now. eeauemta of the Convention, let us remember Ireland's conticcation : her exiled children: her millions perishing by famine; and her widows by thousands who have been turned out from under the humble home roof to sutler, and sometimes to die: and let us remember her poverty and suB'ering through SEVEN HUNDRED long, weary years, and her sublime patience, and her grand moral pose beiore the Lngiisn crown, "whose drum beats are heard around the world," and whose political power is almost omnipotent and consecrating ourselves anew to this high end imperious duty, and the. cause of Ireland, let us swear by our manhood, and that Heaven which protects you and me. thit we will never abandon our wrk until landlordism in that 111 fated aud abused country has been destroyed, both root and brauch, even until it becomes a tree ana lnae- .

A irginia negro is like that alleged irginia nomiciac, wno, two years ago, surrendered himself to the authorities of Wis consin, and who, upon being asked why he "gave inmseit away." replied: "ou res fool if you wouldn't rather be hanged in irginia man to live in isconsin."

There are several conspicuous omissions. There should be a figure of Bliss taking charge or the case, without beinj? asked, and petting 23,000 for it;' Congressmen going to the funeral with ,ouu worth of liquor and cigars; Arthur firing out Uarheld s Cabinet and filling it up with Stalwart.; the halfbreed editors expressing their feelings about the man that one of them call "the acting rresiuenr, ' etc. A Cowardly Committee. New York Commercial Advertiser. The action (or rather lack of it) of the members of the Foreign Relations Com mittee who allowed Mr. Ilelniont. who has had little experience in public life, to bear the brunt of the examination of Mr. Blaine, goes to confirm the suspicion some time ago expressed to the effect that they do not desire to get at the truth, and that most of them are afraid to cross Mr. Blaine's path. The manner in which thev deserted Mr. Belmont 1s, undtr the circumstances, as dis graceful to them as it was courageous in that gentleman to pursue the investigation. lilnlne's Last Chauca Gone. Brooklyn Eagle, j Driven to the wall by the persistent and unswerving interrogatories of a j'oung member of the Committee, who had made up his mind to elicit whatever information was to be obtained, Mr. Biaine fell back upon his last device nanielv, truculence and bluster, and provoked Mr. Belmont to the application of the unpleasant words bully and coward. The younger man showed an equal capacity for retort with his undignined senior, and the latter, smarting under the unexpected thrust, gave way to jersonal abuse. Expecting to have the last word he audaciousy charged his opponent with falsincation and earned the unpleasant definition of himself which wound up the session of the Committee. Mr. Blaiue's Felo De Se. Xew York World.l In the face ot the exhibition which Mr. Blaine yesterday made of his methods and manners, the whole country will probably come to the conclusion that the Republican party was governed by a fortunate instinct when it declined to saddle itself with such a candidate at Chicago. It ia not pleasant for Americans to know that the Department ot Slate has been filled by a public man so little master of himself and so destitute of self-re6ect and tact as to invite public chastisement at the rands of a member of Cor.grtsa greatly his junior both in years and in public experience. From the be ginning to the end of the proceedings be fore the House Committee yesterday Air. Blaine seems to have had but one object in view to avoid explaining the motives which led him on the 4th of August, 1831, to instruct tbe United States Minister at ima to exert himself in behalf of the claim of John C. Landreau upon the Government of Peru. O It I TU A It Y. Death of lion. Horace Uayh.ird, of Tennes see. Knoxville, May 3. Hon.

PERSECUTED JEWS.
Correspondence Respecting the Treatmeat ot Israelites In Russia. Washington, May 2. The correspondence respecting the condition of Israelites in Russia, 6ent Congress to-day, is very volum inous, and includes all on the subject dur ing the past ten years. The last letter writ ten by the Secretary of State in this regard is as louows: . Department ok State.) Washington, L. C, April 15, issi Wickham Iloffmanu, Esq., etc Sir Xhe prejudice of race and creed having In um uv i yen way 10 me claims oi our common humauity, the people of the United State hav Heard, with great regret, the stories -of sufferings oi jews in Kussia. it may be the accounts In the newspapers are exaggerated and some may be true. Some private reports, making uwcin,uuciuiuuw ior misrepresentations, can scarcely be detected. Much has beeu done which humane and iust persona mutt mnripnm The President, of course, fteis the (iovernment of the hmperor should uot be held morally respond bieiorthe acts which it considers wrong, but which it may be powerless to preveut. If mat be true of this case, it would be worse than useless for me to direct you, as the Representative of the United States, to give ntlicial expression to the leeung wnicn mis treatment ot the Jews calls forth in this country. Should, however, the attitude of the Russian Government be dinerent, and should you be of the opinion a more vigorous enort mUht be put forth for the prevention of this great wrong, you will. If favorable opportu uity oilers, state with all proper deßerenoe that tne feeling of friendship which the United States entertains for Kussia prompts this Government to express the hope the imperial Government will rind means to cause the persecution of these unfortunate follow-heintrstncpaia. This instruction of duty is placed upou you. and wide discretion is given you ia IU execution. However lauch this Republic may disapprove of aiidirs in otner nationalities, it does not onccive that it is its right or province otlicially and otfenslve.y to Intermeddle. If. however, it should come to your knowledge that auv citizens of the 1 " J . 1 c i t . i - a . t liiieu oiait-s are msue victims oi persecution. you win icci uyourooty to omit noenort to protect them and report the cases to this Dep&rtment I am, sir, your most obedient servant, Frederick T. Frelingiitysev. It appears from the correspondence be tween .Minister roster and .secretary Blaine that the action of the Russian authorities toward A mencair citizens is of two kinds; nrst, absolute prohibition of residence iu St. Petersburc and other cities of the Empire, upon the ground Kussia permits no native Jew to live there, and that the treaty be tween Russia and the United States gives to our citizens in Russian jurisdiction no other ngm or privileges than tnose accorded to native Russians. Second, pernii&sion of res' idence and commerce are conditioned on belonging to the hrst guild of Russian mer chants and taking out license. In a letter from Secretary Blaine to Minis ter roster, under date of July . 1881. the former says: In case this Government would hold the treaty of conferred specüic rights on all Aiuericau citizens in the mRtterof disposition of their personal property, irrespective of any creditors save i nose wnicn me- treaty expressly creates; that tneir actual presence when necessary to protect or assert their interests is absolutely guaranteed wnerever and lor whatever time It may be ueeaiui, ana mat mis international eniracement superceo.es any municipal rule or regulation which may Interfere with the action of such individuals, 1 need hardly enlarge on the points me oovernment oi tne l nited states concludes Its treaty with foreign State for eoual protection of all classes of American citizens. It can make absolutely no discrimination be tween them, whatever be their orh iu or creed. so that tbey abide by the law at home or abroad. it must give them due pioiectlou and expect like protection irom tntiii. Any unfriendly.discriminating act against them ou the part of a foreign Power with which we are at peace, would call for our earnest remonstrance whether the treaty existed or not. It is, therefore, a source of unfeigned regret to ns wheu the Government to which we are allied by to many historical as to that of Russia shows a distiosiiioii in irgard to oealina with us to take advantage of technicalities. in response to tins communication, under the date of October S. 1881. Mr. Hollman. Secretary of the Legation, wrote Secretary Blaine the Russian Minister of foreign Affairs still maintained the view that in the treaty of the words "On condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances then prevailing" subjected American Jews to treatment as native Jews. These views bad also been given representatives of other foreign Towers. The Russian Minister said that, as regards the moral side of the question, he, ersonally, would be glad to see important modifications made in the laws regarding their condition, but that they had brought much of the harshness of these aws uion themselve?. The President's mesnge is formal, trans mitting the document, and makes no com ment or recommendation. Cabinet Meeting. "Washington, May 2. At the Cabinet meeting to-day it was decided the President should issue a proclamation for the lawless cow-boys in Arizona to disperse, and if the order is not obeyed to use the military to enforce it. TbeCabinet sustained the action of the President in his message for additional legislation on the subject, and disagreed with the action of the fcenate Judiciary Committee in reporting no further legislation necessary. The Fitz J ihn Porter case was under consideration. The Indian out break in Arizona was discussed, and prompt and vigorous action determined upon on the part of the military. All the members were present except Attorney General lirewster. who is blightly indisposed. a Lapsed-Graut Railroads. Washington, May 2. The House Com mittee ou Judiciary, at a full meetiag this morning, had nnder consideration the subject of lapsed railroad grants. The sentiment of the Committee was fully expressed to the effect that reports uion certain roads, whose business is being ellected bv the delay, should be made at once. Members of the Committee are reticent as to what these actions will be, or what roads will be first acted upon. The Northern Pacific and Altantic Pacific are in the hands of SubCommittees, and friends of these roads are confidently expecting an early and favor able retort. Criminal Shoot iug of a Young; Man. Special to the Sentinel: Andereon, lud.. May S. Last night after the result of the . election had been announced, the bands were serenading Mr. Augustus Ueagy, the newlyelected Marshal. Durlcg this proceeding, Edward, son of Dr. George F. Chittenden, of this city, stepped out on the south veranda of the I)oxey House and hallooed for Heagy. At this uncture some one in the street below shot twice at him, one shot takiug effect just above the stomach. Youug Chittenden rati into the hotel and announced that he was shot Bystanders thought mat he was jesting, but toon the truth was verified by hlsthowlDg bis wound. He waa taken home and passed a reasonably comfortable night. This morning the bull waa taken out just below the elgth rib on the eft tide. At he fctood the operation well, it waa believed he was cot mortally hurt. but about noon to-day matters took a change for the worse, and it Is feared he will not recover. Chittenden says one William Ryau, son of the deeaicd candidate for Marshal, did the shooting. Ryan was arrested and waived his preliminary and gave f 2,000 boud for his appearance. Mr. Chittenden is an exccptiocably good young man, intelligent, precocious, and the idol of hia father and mother, than whom none are more esteemed In this community. He has Just completed the High School course, and would have graduated la about three weeks with honors. The unfortunate occurrence has produced a profound sensation. ympathizlng friends are rendering all assistance in their power. Dr. Tayne, of Franklin, a friend of Mr. C'a family, arrived to-day noon.
