It is to be hoped that they will select the mountains when they conclude to touch it o:T. A Hot r. ton, as denned by the Atlanta Con- ! Citation, is a man who ia ia earnest when ; Le votc-3 the Democratic ticket. In this ! connection we may be permitted to suggest : that a Bonrbcn Republican is one who is j eternally singing the "song of th shirt" ' the blooJy one at that. I It is pleesant to understand that the iD- ; ccacing President will fled th9 White House in good condition. Mr. Arthur has taken I unusual good care ot it and is employing his time nctv "puttying the scratches' and j siving the furniture a few last touches with the feather tiuster. This forethought wi.l be kindly remembered. The Boston Congregetionalist iliu3tr.V1.e3 the difference between greatness and personal mngnetirm. It says: "Washington iusy cot have been 83 great by natare as fo.:is other Americans who Laye lived since t:. cay, but it depends much upon wht is i. tr.nt by 'greatness." Certainly h wa? r it 'iLasnetic,' to ue a popular term." Tuzjood people cl Winamac don't pro VO?e to te juggled by any swindling, wandering showman. A dispatch says thnt two "advance agents" elaboratly billed the town, announcing the "Lights o' London" at the Opte.a Honte Saturday night, and drew a f ell house. Thstwomen attempted to palm off a maic lantern show, and th3 audience mobbed them, dragged them into the etreetr and were takir g them to the river when the Sheriff and a posse rescued them and lodged them in jail, where they were glad to remain until the mob disbanded. It was Emory A. Storrs, of Chicago, who an the ritk of exhausting himself by rushing on th stand after Blaine's nomination ( to congratulate the Republican party. There for an Lour he sought to deify Blaine and to i belittle Samuel J. Tilden. The-.a to tb j la3t days of the campaign he talked upBiaine and talked down Cleveland. And now the gyascutas has the effrontery to say that "never has there been a President who hai ' been more unselfishly devoted to the inter- ! 93t3 of the people than that same Grover Cleveland." j Having toid one political truth Mr. Storrs j will now have that same Grover Cleveland's ' consent to sit down. ! They Lave found a wife for Mr. Cleveland. ; She lives in Baffalo this time. A special says j that a well known society lady, of Albany, j who is acquainted hh Mr. Cleveland, declares that he is amanced, or soon to be to a ; daughter of the late Oi:ar Folsom, of Buffalo, and Mr. Folsom was at one time a j law partner of Mr. Ciave'aud. Th9 yonn ' lady has just passed her nineteenth birthday, and is handsome and accomplished. She is at present a pupil of Wells College, in Aurora, N. Y. She has not seen much of fashional le society, and ia innocent of its wiles acd fasinations. In company with her mother, the will witness the inaugaral ceremonies, though it la said they wi 1 not attend the grand balL "CHINESE" GORDON'S WRONGS. When reading the letter of General Gordon to the home government concerning the affairs at Khartoum, the conduct of.the English Ministry becomes intolerable. Prior to July we find him advising a relief expedition, and that it follow the right bank cf the Nile, in the hope of surprising Berber. He gives notice cf his determination to remain at Khartoum cntil relief should arrive. On Angust 24 he writes: "We have five months provision and hope to get more. Our country's rele has not been very noV.e in Egypt or tbe Soudan." This criticism wa deserved six months ago, but bow terribly has its C3rrectness been emphasized by England's inaction, resulting in the loss of Generals Gordon, ß;exa.rt, Earle and Colonel Barnaby. On 8eptember five months after he had lirst called for assistance, he writes: "How many times have we written asking for reinforcement and calling your eericus attention to the Soudan, and no acswer came? Oar men's hearts become weary with delay. While you are eating, and drinking, a d resting in good beds, we and those with D9, onr soldiers and our servants, are watchirg niht and day, trying to quail the movements of the Mahdi. Of course, you take no interest to suppress this rebellion, theeerioas consequences of which are revem victories for you. Neglect thereof won't do. Stewart starts in two days. The reason for sending "hlra is because you have been silent all this Vhile. You neglected us. We have lost lw9 without doing any good. II troops ba ent us, the rebellion cease3. When they

reach Berber the inhabitants will retarn to theii former occupations. Therefore it U hoped you will listen to all Stewart tells yoa. and regard it seriously. Send the troops we have asked tor without delay." On September IS he wrote as follows: "How many times cave I written, asin tjt reinforcements? Bat my letters have nevsr been answered. The hearts of my gallant men are weary with this long waitia? for ajsistauce and failure to receive any words of er-couiagemeiit which would lead thaoi to expect help shortly. While yoa eat, drink, and rest in good beds we are always fighting." "What plea of stupidity or cf negligence can the British Ministry and Parliament tender In explanation of the needless sacrafee of Gordon and others ' Did tney contemplate abandoning Gordon and his garrison after sending theia into the Soudan? That would have been foul murder by their own hands upon their soldiery. Did they intend rescuing Cardan? "What was to ba gained by such interminable deUj? Vhy were Gordon's letters not answered? What cruelty and insolense was that toward a brave oSicer to ipura hi3 apDa!a by silenca, and thus keeping Gordon and his garrison in continuously increasiaj 8U?p2ur.e. In her dealing with her army in the Sjudan, England laj betrajei an ingratitude which ia nothing short cf tuienejs. The piocedure is a b!ot cn her National banner which co future triumphs in the Sjudan can efface.

OPEN THE BOOKS. The CVni Organa have mie aoncertel attack on Mr. Manning. Tbey evidently drew their inspiration from one source. We do not know where that is and do not care to know. Terhaps the organs prefer a different sort ot a man for the Treasury Department, as there have been some very naughty stories circulating aoout the management of that branch of th? Government. It was ascertained nearly ten years ago that the bocks were being kept a good deal like a one-horja corner grocery. Erasures, scratched fc'gurcs and blunders were reported, and in tome esses entire p-ages were missing. Since then there has b?en an abundance of timo for the recreation of an entire new series of book?, and the o'l ones burned up or put out cf sight sumewhere. Yet it would be gratifying to the country to know that the new Secretary of the Treasury, now understood to be Mr. Manning, woald give the Treasury books and vaults an en-' tire overhauling. TheNew YorkSun seems to know something about Mr. Manning, and it eays tint he hss the reputation of bsing "a thorough goi g business man, who will stand no nonsense, and who, if he should be called to the Treasury, would make short work of the d'ehonesty, incapacity, and sinecuri3m which have so long ruled there, and which are not to be driven out by halfway measures. No wonder the Treasury efheiais regard him with apprehension. He is a man of common sense, and it will be impossible to humbug him. He is not the victim of any delusion in regard to the kind cf reform needed in the Treasury, and should he become the head of that important and mismanaged department, it issafo to predict that thero would be summary changes there, in men as well as ia methods." Whether Mr. Manniug is finally settled upon or not as the chitf of the Treasury, we hope that there will be a thorough overhauling and that "the bocks will be opened." If those kept during the administration of Hayes and Grant were not destroyed we Imagine that they will afford some very interesting Information to the American people. OUR FOREION POPULATION. General Franc's A. Walker, in a recent, lectnre on "The United Siates as Seen in the Census," gives some interesting facts regarding our foreign population. The firät C8nsu3 of foreign birth was taken ia is:0. The percentage was then '.) of the whole population. In 1SG0 the percentaga was 13. IG; in 1870,14 41; in lSO, 1,;.32. The great mass of foreign population reside ia New England, around the great lakes, and in the northern central portion of the country as well as in various regions of the frontier. The South has very little foreign population, except in Texas. In New England the mcst part reside along the Canadian border and in Massachusetts and the States on the sound. The foreign population reaches Its maximum where the general population reaches its maximum, along the latitude ot 40 and 41, along the longitude 73 and 71. Sir.ce 13Ö0 the proportion of foreign Irish ia every 10,000 has fallen from 4.2?C co 2,770; of English ha3 fallen somewhat. The Germans have gained in proportion, and the SwedLb, British American and cnenumeraled nationalities have largely gained. New York stands first in the aggregate foreign population, and also first in the Irish, German and English population. Pennsylvania stands second in aggregate foreign population, Illinois third and Massachusetts fourth. Massachusetts is third in Irish population, fifth in English and nineteenth in German. The Chinese ar 6ti!l found mainly inPac'So States, and their increase has not equalled what was once supposed It would. In 1350 the Chinese population was 753; in 1SG0, 33,000; in 1870, C3.0ÖO: in lSSO, 105,000. Our total population stands G native to 1 foreign. The criminal proportion stands: Foreign, 13,000; colored, 17,000; native, 30.000. In each nationality there are more children having a foreign father than a foreign mother, due to the larger number of male immigrants than of female. A GREAT DEMAND. There is doubtless a demaLd for a big nian for tbe Treasury Department, It needs a complete overhauling, a9 we have remarked frequently before. We have an idea that there baa been mere Republican rascality and "sculdusgery" perpetrated in th.U department than ia any other under the Government. The proofs may have all been destroyed and the tracks too well covered up to be ever discovered, yet we hope that strenu , us efforts may bs mads by the incoming Secretary, whoever he may be, in the direction indicated. The New York Sun, we are glad to observe, keeps pounding away in the same line. Yesterday it rtleTied to the matter again and said: "The new Secretary of the Treasury should enter upon his duties aa if he were the new manager of a business house whose clerks had been defaulters and swindlers. He should at once aurronnd himself with new men in whose character be has confidence, and for whose conduct he is willing to be

beld responsible. The more employes of the eld establishment te keeps the more trouble be will have in introducing a regime of order and honesty and capability. He can rind Democrats jest as good as the best Republicans, and less likely to try and cover np the tracks ot Republican corruption. We have had a Republican Treasury through and through, and the country is sick of it. Now Jet the control of the Treasury ba thoroughly Democratic." That is the correct way to state it 'the country is .sick of it " Let no foolish notices about "civil service reform" keep the Secretary from making a thorough overbading of the entire department, and to this end let him gather about him a new Damscratrc force, determined to hunt out the least tnd ?ast vcstize of corruption.

VANITY OF REPUBLICAN HOPE Far be it from any intention of our hand, in this inclement weather, to throw an iceblanket 07er the ulterior hopes of that declining Invalid, tin Republican partr. Still, on the ere of its being removed to the political infirmary, we feel that any vain words of cheer would subject us and very justly to the charge of fals9 friendship. Better it is to point out its sad disorder, that it may summon patience for its comforter, rather than fallacious hope, in its perpetual retirement. An Intelligent diagnosis of Its case, thirteen years ago, discovered its stomach to bs deranged and its muscle withered. Such very able physicians as Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Carl Schurz, Lyman Trumbull and Henry Ward Brecher counseled It to give up business. The only two creditable undertakings which it had assisted the restoration of the I'nion and the emancipation of slavery were loa since accomplished. Eut the Republican psjty had grown so fanatical over it3 participation in those achievements that it appeared to be working to get np a second and bushwhacking war between the sections. It was seen by the abler physicians to be in a bad way. It would have been retired had not a resort to an electro-metallic battery imparted artificial strength to its sys tem. This metallic force famished fraudulent witnesses, election returns and the electoral count in 187;, and provided the celebrated Dorsey "soap" In 1S80. The party was kept out of the political infirmary from 172 to the present time j that electro-metallic machine. It was used again in IS I, bat by the latter year too many had discovered that trickery and manipulation had for twelve years been the Republican recommeadatioa for retention of the Republican party in power. So then the Republican party's greatest resource of strength, the electro-metallic battery (the forces of which were tithed from oülce-holders), is lost to it. and with this loss has departed that party's strongest element of hope. But that is not all; the party is divided against itself, and was throughout the late campaign. But since the election the house is even worse divided against itself. Here within a week of its relegation to the infirmary we see half the Republican rrgans clashing the Arthur and Blaine factions against each other because of Arthurs vengeful treatment of General Sxaini in the review cf the latter'a Court Martial. Again, only last week Jtepublicaa Senr.tors bitterly antagoned President Arthur s Domination of Emory Speer, of Georgia, for the vacant Judgeship of the Georgia District. Only a day or two since, Eoaory A. Storrs, erstwhile Blaine's fulsome flatterer, uttering praises of Blaine's successful opponent Stephen A, Dorsey, who wore the guerdon of Republican victory in 1SS0, has become the caustic critic of his former companions in political turpitude. Mr. Edmunds, the leader of the respectable faction of the party, has, ai President of the Senate, nullified the precedent Vice President Wheeler assumed toaet, four years ago, for declaring the election of President and Vicje President. The late Republican candidate has assumed the role otso cial and political Nemesis to pursue and punish all Republicans who cried not "Allah!" to him in his campaign. The followers of St. John, of 'Schurz, of George William Curtis, of Henry Ward Beecher, will not readily forgive the coarse a?saults of Republican papers and politicians upon them, while "mugwumpery" is not likely to abate its patriotism or numbers, nor is it likely to gravitate bac: to the g. o. p. Verily there ia "sloth in the mart and seism in the temple" cf the Republicans. Much as we regret to throw the ice blanket over the party in this cold spell, we must eay there appears to be no hope for it AN ENGLISH DYNAMITER. English and Englishmen never seem to tire of denouncing the Irish dynamiters who have been keeping the entire British Empire on the anxious seat for many months. In truth, the entire world seems to have been more or less affected by the recent explosions in London. It ia with considerable surprise, therefore, that we notice a piece of English deviltry in the same line. The information cornea from the letter of Private Lewis Barratt, Forty-third Light Infantry. a native of Leicester, stationed at Malapuram, in the Madras Presidency, and the Leicester journalist prefaces the extract by caving it "will be perused with interest at a time when we are watching with euch extreme concern the military operations in the Soudan" and, we may add, when "we" are denouncing with Buch virtuous indignation the inhumanity of blowing down a lobby of the House of Commons. The following is an extract from Private Barratt's letter to his father George Barratt. He Bays: "I have had a bit of good luck lately. We fcave had a break ont here araongit the Mopley tribe. Volunteers were asked to take a lighted charge cf dynamite, and place it under the gate with a view of dislodging them. I accepted that duty, but am sorry my attempt failed, as It did not explode. I took another one, acd this time had the satisfaction, juct as I bad got under cover, of seeing the gate blown up. The dynamite had made a road, and it was soon all over. I never witnessed such a Bickly sight In all my life. I could not tell you my mind, though I had done it, when I saw fifteen killed and one wcunded, and he died about four hours after. But they got a deal ot infoimation ont of him. I got a good tip for my work from our officer, Mr. Cardew, over twenty rupees, that la two pounda in English coin, and specially recommended to the Commander In-Chief of India. I gsl

promotion shortly, and bear a good name in my company." The poor wretches who were blown to atoms seem to have taken refuge in a Hindoo temple. In 'commentin? upon the frightful affair, the editor of "Daited Ireland'' says: "The House ot Commons is, of course, a much more eacred place than a Hindoo temple; and, cf course, it is a more heinous crime to scare the British public than to send sixteen Hindoos into eternity in fragments. Still it is not upon the whole, perhaps, a more reditable feat of daring to a wcrld-wide empire to explode an infernal machine in the midst of a wretched hilltribe cooped up in a temple than for Ford's emissaries to penetrate into the heart of the Eoglish Pailiament House, with their lives la their hands, to explode their squibs in an empty chamber. Nor Is it altogether a satisfactory apokgy lor mangling the seventeenth Hindoo to learn tuat his ingenious manglers managed to 'get a deal cf information out of him' before he died, and that the successful dycamitara was rewarded with 'a good tip for my work from our officer, tnd that the Leicester journalist records his feat of der-riDg-do as an honor to his native city. In point of fact, if Private Barratt had used his charge of dynamite against instead of for England, he would have been a miscreant cf tho Ueckest dye, and' would most poorly Lave ewung by the neck until he was dead from the nearest lamp post. Bat that makes ail tht cifferenc3 in the world."

"LITTLE MAC" The4 e is seme talc in Washington of giving General McClellan a hret-class mission abroad, while others say he will go into the Cabinet. We learn through one of tho3e wonderful ppecial dispatches that are constantly Hitting ever the wire3 from the E,wt to the Republican papers of the West that Mr. Cleveland Is under special obligations to General McClellan; that he is the only prominent man from whom Cleveland asked a personal favor during the Presidential campaign. It is only valnable in this connection to show to what straits the Republican correspondents are sometimes put to meet the demands of the party for something new and peculisr, if cot sensational. The circum8'ances as the story goes were that Purcell, the New York editor who deserted Cleveland, had agreed to preside at a Democratic mass-meeting in Rochester if Cleveland himself would sit on the platform. The great Elaine busines9-men's demonstration took place in New York about this time, and the Democratic managers imperatively demanded Cleveland's presence in that city at a similar parade as an offset to the Republican bcom. The day fixed upon was that of the Rochester meeting. Cleveland could not be in both places at once, and could afford neither to refuse rurcell's flag of truce nor stay away from New York. In his dilemma he appealed to McClellan, who was the only man whose presence in place of the Presidential candidate would satisfy Purcell. McClellan was booked to speak at Morristown that evening, but after some'negotiatiens consented to break that engagement and go in Cleveland's place to Rochester. He there ma je the Pure 11 meeting a great succtES, while Cleveland in New York revived his boom. Those who should be in McClellan'a confidence say that the real object of his ambition is not a Cabinet office, but an appointment abroad, and wellinformed men speak of him as the next Minister to Rome. It would seem that General McClellan would need no such a brand of credit as outlined in the foregoing to recommend him to the good offices and favorable consideration of the inomici; administration. The General has been the candidate of the grand old Democratic party for the Presidency, and that is sufficient. His ambition will probably be gratified, if within the power of Mr. Cleveland, without any reference to the incident of having at one time presided over a Democratic mesting in Rochester. We have alt bee bo engrossed is political matters for almost an entire rear that the fact ot the Old Testament being under revision by a committee of echolars had well nigh escaped attention. It was determined that the new edition should be published on the 1st of March. A New York spEC'al of March 1 says: "This is really the date that was fixed on as the time for the simultaneous issue of theievifed Old Testament in Great Britain and the United States, but ai March 1 cornea on the Sabbath, the issue is postponed until to morrow or next dsy. Biblical scholars and divines generally have been anxiously awaiting the publication of the revision. It is confidently expected' that it will b n greater demand and meet with better success financially than the revised New Testament. So much more ot interest attaches to the Old Testament on account of the difference of opinion in regard to various tranelationa ot certain words, phrases, etc., on disputed theological points that ail theologians and canonical authorities are curious to see and study what new light is thrown on these questions by this late revision, and It is believed that thera will be many changes in the most important parts of the book that will provoke extensive discussion. For other reasons a heavy demand for the revision is anticipated." Tb President' Proclamation. Washington, Feb. 28.

Wliat Each Saja of the Other Authorized Denials of Current Rumors. ILetter to New York San.J Ispiaxatolis, Feb. 20. I found Mr. Hendricks this morning engaged in receiving calls and discharging a multiplicity of duties incidental to his departure for Washington, but he lock time to say to me: "There is not the shadow of a foundation for the charge that I am or ever was hostile to the appointment cf Mr. McDonald to a position in the Cabinet of President Cleveland. My confidence in his ability is fall and complete, and I certainly have co disposition to oppose his advancement to any honor or responsibility. Indeed, that would be exactly contrary to either my feeling or sense oi propriety. Why do the newspapers persist in emblezonir g falsehoods so abominable? But that question is idle, since it is palpable that there are people who find not only entert ainmcct, bnt enjoyment, in that character of stuffi There are ill-tempered, evil-minded Republicans glad to believe me guilty of aa immoral motive, however absurd, and a sctliclent number of gullible Democrats lendicg ready credence to color with respectable plausibility the clearest fictions. As to what is published about myrelf I care little, and I presume Mr. McDonald cares nothing. To either of ns it is really a matter of no mcment. Bat the imputation that Mrs. Hendricks interferes angers me. Associated with Eomethmg so indelicate, eo foreign to be? nature of taste, they have no rght to pronounce the came of my wife " The speaker pronounced this ia the tone and with the emphasis that seldom, indeed, fails to prove effectual before a jury when he fee's he has a cae. The words he employed comprised but a small part of the speech. Tbe manner of delivery told more. As a matter of fact Mr. Hendricks and Mr. McDonald are es close together as any two citizens of Indianapolis. They have held frequent interviews, the Vice President-elect visiting the last named gentleman since he has been so earnestly mentioned as a candidate for the new Cabinet. Were either President, I take it, the other would be his constitutional adviser, sustaining the most intimate relations. In the really tangled skein cf Mr. Hendricks' administration as Governor of Indiana the paesage of the Baxter bill some features of the enactment being remarkable among the tempetauce laws of the country, every step taken oy the Executive was founded on the legal counsel of Mr. McDonald. There is no question that in the estimation of tbe mass of mankind throughout this Wahash country there is a spirit of ungenerous rivalry between those eminent gentleman. The gossip of their unfriendliness is not confined to opposition prints, but it is about the hotels like the sentiment of Blaine at Chicago, in the air, rilling the lobby and chokiDg the cloak room of the General Assembly like the villainous perfumes of badiy cured tobacco. It was a post-prandial interview that I had with Mr. McDonald having waited for some minutes in his library for him to finish his dinner. Joining me the picture of health, at peace with all the world and the rest of mankind, I began tne conversation by asking if he had witnessed Miln's "Macbsth" of the previous evening. Mr. McDonald possesses the faculty of talking fully and concisely on any subject broached. This was his reply: "No,' he said, "I believe that I have passed the time of life when tragedy excites an interest. I was always fond of the theater and the pastion does not seem to have abated ; indeed, it has grown so far as light comedy is concerned. I imagine that euch plays as 'She Stoops to Conquer,' Goldsmith's laughable creation, amuse me more than ever, and I Bee new beauties in them. No; spectacular, melo drama, or what ths French are said to call 'damp plays," Buch as as are likely to bring moisture to the eyes, have faded charms forme; they are innocent of that weird fascination with which they formerly held me." He might have continued on the drama during the evening had I Dot directed him to political history, when he mentioned Poik as the hardest worker of the Presidents, in whese administration, excepting Lincoln's, the greatest events occurred. "The extent of territory, acquired during the administration of Polk," continued Mr. McDonald, "contributed to .the success as well as tbe granduer of Lincoln's period as Presi dent." "Yee," he replied to a question afterwards, "if in the Senate I wonid aeain vote to put General Grant on the retired list. I would vote that, not in honor of President Grant, but as an honor to the soldier Grant the author of the terms of Lee's surrender. By his courage and heroism at Appomattox he covered himself and the cause he represented with a glory that no eubsequeng action, in a pesition for which he had neither talents nor trainirg. could tarnish. Should General Grant pass away before the country discharges the duty ot placing him on the retired list the neglect will ever be remembered with regret by posterity." "Mr. Hendricks talked to ms lately about the hateful and annoying rumor of his opposition to your appointment to a place in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet," I said. "I and Hendricks fully understand each ether," replied Mr. McDonald. "I never for a moment believed that he combated the idea of my advancment in anything, and it is annoying that some persons imagine ice the object of his enmity." "Well, I should think from a knowledge of your friends and life in Indianapolis that uothug within the possibilities of Washington could add to jour comfort or happiness" "The subject cf Mr. Cleveland's appointments is one that, under the circumstances, 1 can not talk of for the press. This, however, I may eay, if left to consult my own preference I would never leave Indianapolis Formytelf I ask nothing that my practice and my home do not affurd. Further than thif, I would refuse to accept anything were it not for a detire I have to reward my friends. I can net deny that I would like to be in a petition tr reciprocate their enthusiasm, loyalty and devotion." jap rrms. A KROKES HOHE. Hie Wife of Itey. Jolio Ulnton Orltlta Procure n Divorce. Chicago, March 1 ' I've been a faithful wife to him, God knows, and I've striven in every possible way to redeem him and to proviae for mTself and children," said Elizabeth, the wife of Rev. John Hinton Griffin yetteiday to Judge Moran, who was hearing divorce cases. Griffin is a fallen Baptist pieacher, still holding forth occajionally in a hall on Madison street, although his usual field la in tbe smaller towns in Indiana. The trouble with this reverend gentleman is simply opium. Rev. Christopher Perrin, the pastor of a Baptiat Church on the West Side, gave It as his opinion, on the witness atand, that 'this soul-benumbing drug bM per

rceated the man aa as to rob him of every vett'ge cf moral prlocipls " LT himself ha J tried for years to reform Griffin',- "but had feend him a liar, a drunkard, a brule." ' His own brothers. both of whom are eminent clergymen in EjLnd, had given him xxp as hopeless ei'ht years ego, and as the wife said to the Cour,f: I have found tbat it is hopeless to try and make him remember his responsibilities or duties. He is an absolute slave ti opium a physical and moral wreck."
