Logan evidences that Republicanism to day i3 one of the most vigorous quantities ii our political system. Hundreds cl c-fTensivc partisan shots In honcr of his triumph boomed across the Potomac in the very shadow of the White House. The fiih-teeper protested, bat the gunners, keyed up on Cincinnaii lager, rejoined, 'Close your gills, and disturb us not In the manifestation of o nr rapture, or we will duck yon In your own pond." While the Damocrats may not openly partak9 of the general delight, the display of feeling under the cireumatacces quickens no resentment. I believe it maybe ea?3 tD write: They rather enjoy it. A decidedly odd condition must exifit when a newspaper, presuming to spaa fcr a Democratic n I ministration, by denouncing Sam Rsadall as a pest condemns eyery Democrat la ths National Congress. The much oppressed Republican department clerks are tearfully ccmplainiüg agaiuat the injustice of the star chamber trials that convict them of o.TansIve partisanship. Were they allowed tho inaliable right of every atcnscd man, to appear either in person or by attorney, difierent results In a great majority of lD-:tarcjs might bs reached. Given no opportunity to prove themselves stainless, their characters are smirched la a coort organized to establish guilt. About euch methods thera ia too much of tha Inquisition.

And if given a fair frial undr the charges many cf them muet bs allowed to remain. An Indian Cinerea man yesterday appeared before AsyUtaat Postmaster Hay and asked for a removal. "Are there any charges aalnat him on file?' "No. and there are not likely to bs. He is a pocd neighbor, reciprocal in all the relations cf lile, but be is an intense Repnblican. Daring th9 Garfield campaign h handled corruptioa money in my district, as he certainly would have done lan fall, and will do apain in 1837, If tha conditions happen to be favorable to suchan enterprise. The truth of the matter is, he can go into a postal car and perform the work cf two ordinary rr en, and, taken altogether, is one of three characters wh'in we mast all unite in prorccrc rg a splendid fellow, lie is a Republican, with a'i tae character'stics of that party, bat uodar ni consideration will I bring charges a&inst him effecting his mt ral characte r f r s w ding as a citizen." ; 4,In the hber.cf of stec'Sc charges, reduced to writlrg." replied Mr. Bay, "the department will refuse to move in the matter."

Jap Tckpen-. SEW MEXICO. Talk With m Delegate From That Territory. Special to the Sentinel. WisHiitGToy, Jure 12. Antonio Joseph, delegate in Congress from New Mexico, brought his labors to a close yesterday and departed for home this morning. Mr. Joseph is a Dative of the Territory he represents, his complexion telling of an acceetry that
carce c-'sr'nally from one of the States of the Llert;t-u!.ean. 11 is father drifted to Taos in the forties, and computed a very ustf al life .among those mountains aad with that rrriens and interesting people. There the delegate wa3 born, and as th9 people of rugged countries crdinarily are not migrator tt:ere his boms will always be. A brief c?Ever?stton with Mr. Joseph reveals that he ia not only a man of aTirs,bat accomplished by college and toned down by travel. I sited Mr. Joseph at his rooms in tha Nation Hotel, to-day, and talked to him long corcernirg a variety of matters as they came up for inquiry or discussion. Mr. Joseph's father was intimately aciintcd with Kit Carton, not cd! by afiiaity and thcte circumstances end conditions that bricg a.'l kinds of spirits to acknowledge the common bro'.t erhood cf man, bnt in basilitis relations aleo. One was an Iodiaa trader, while the other, by reason ot his sagacity, wisdom and honesty as an IndUu aeat, evidenced those qualities that maakinl in all ages Lave united in catlli'g great, fnere has been considerable diüereucs in my Information concernlcg the p!acs whers Kit Cc J sou's bedy lecses. An army ota3r tnid me that hi3 remains were interred at K Iswcrth, Kan ; ar. other army otBcsr, thit the hero was sleeping h:s last bleep near Fort Lyons Colo. Mr. Jt eeph yet has a letter written tj htru from Fort Lyor,3, Colo., by Carsoa, saying that his last hour was approaching, and ra0UEs:ing tbat his body bs transported to Tsoe and deposited beoide the remains of his wife. Stie was a Mexican lady. The Territorial authorises cf Colorado refned to have the grave disturbed until Mr. J seia caane, reinforced with an order from Ojort. Colorado wanted the monument taat musi ultiixately be erected in honor of Carson's hcbieverrects In New Mexico there Is said to be a 8?ct to
whom thb Christian religion takes a queer tr,rn. They accept bodily tortnre as a mesns cf sri ritual puriacation. I had been told that Creon was a Penitent arid that his body vi as scarred with torture. ' Tbat Is untrue. Carson regarded thst manifestation cf religions tupsrstition with great aversion. I rrmember distinctly oi more than cue orcssxm hearing him observe ttat the superstitition should ba restrained by law." "Wrstwas Carson's religion? ' I should describe him ai ap'ois mi bnt zea!oni!y connected with no church. I would pronounce him a Catholic bat for the fact; tbat be was a very devoted Freemas in. He threw his whole great catare Inta tte order, and Kept bright in its history aad traditions, ijed never made a maa of la'ger hoaesty tl:an Kit Carson. That, as well ai his cottrne and eagacity. is the sscretof h's wci-derfnl iDÜnence over the aborigines Ke always f pete the truth, and was faithful in his dealings with them." Mr. Joseph eaid that while an agnt bs hsd siea Carson take a rawhidi or blactenale whip and lash Brunken b:ave3. mkirg them go home. Taat is an experiment that but few whits men have ever baea known to repeat The mcccasined warrior of the West has an Inveterate prejad ce against teiDg econigad, eepeciaJy by a pa'eiace, when tte moon is either in the dark or Idij, but this prejudice Euhtfdad whei the Great Father, Kit, appeared determined npen penonal cnastisercent. The politics of New Mexico may be tolerably understood when it is told that 8:ephen 13. Elkins is a gradoate from the rxetheds obtaining there, and that there is nothing imputed to hici that is tint tree if applied to his most enthaeiatic corttitaency i the Territory. Tkoath with perhaps more than a satliciert population, ttera is scarcely no d-s'.ia cn the part of the people of New Mexico to change their form of government by becociicg a Btate. While some benefits might arcrne, it would increase taxation aad tha cftce-holding class. There are 15,000 rnllas of railroad in New Mexico exempt from taxation. Exemption was otfered by tin aniloriiies es aa inducement to iiue3 to extecd. The men appointed to office in New Mexico have pr'DC'paliy beea residents of the Territory all, I believe, with the exception cf George V7. Julian. There was this to recommend E G. Iioss in his application for the offite of Governor: An nnncually active life, tharasterizel by tbe greatest honesty. The fact tbat he voted agaicst the impeachment of President Johnson; that he was ostracised in Kansas: that be Ik to day eld and poor, and a Democrat and a citizen of tbe Territory. Atked about Julian, I replied: He is certainly one ot the grandest men of the age. lie is tbe architect of his own fortune, bug tbe oldest Eon of a widow left with a large family in the beck woodsof Indiana. Eery obligation to tbat mother he performed wita hdeiity. The "single rule cf three" was the fcad of mathematical navigation for ths Hccsier schoolmaster of that period.bat young Julian triumphed over the highest branches cf tbat science, and becama a civil engineer before becoming a lawyer. The reacon that he did not foilow that profession tho Eczjtiment for internal improvevements, which was to conduct a canal to evtiy man's door, departed on the aporoac'i cf tbe railroads. Julian commenced his political career in the General Assembly, bnt hla fust vote was Independent of that party. The Whigs favored repudiating the Wabash hLd K-ie Canal debt, and Jalian, with the Democrats, in favor of honest payment. A few years later the Abolition or Free 9Al party was organized, and Julian nominated for Corgresa. There were bat ve-y few people wh: understood the subject; cmseqeentjy the party was emalL Julian bai been given the nomination because of h s independence, and the Democrats in tbt dittrict being in the majority, came to his assistance, preferring a Free Boiler to a Whij, and consequently he was elected, I think he was the first member of Cjnirr?3 to teach emancipation. Yet tlie fire taters always respected him. IV epeeches are among the most elegant in the language, and he never made one that is not sound doctrine to day. No Atnericat publicist knows more of the public dooii! j. Tbe land question, that more thai inanyotber arlecta human interests todiy, has been to him the study of a life-time. His appointment means a reopeniog of those Soaaiea grant cases and tbe exposure of frauialent conveyances. Of what we term pesoal magnetism or popularity, he is deititat; bnt tr;e poor man, b'ack or white, nevnr btd a better friend. He has oombatted, aad, Ibark heaven, stiil lives to cooioit in Aner'ca tbe abeses tbat have wrought the dieafiters of Ireland. All tbe restitution fro-u the land grabber, to which the actual eettler in New Mexico is entitled, he will eet from Julian. Jap Torpkn. IKßEPßESSIHLE IIOOSIEnS.

Oaoar McCnlloch, as well as the sermon he preached, did Indianapolis great honor in Washington. McCnlloch is sound in religion, healthy in thought, and vigorous iu expression. There is something In the atmosphere of the Hooaler Capital to develop preachers, something in the congregation tbat detects genius aDd bequeaths reputation. A favcrite in Indianapolis can alwajs get a larger salary from cities tbat have more money. Nowhere haa Henry Ward
Beecher found a more appreciative andiene, hetays. Dr. De La Maijr and Myron W. P.eed bola eot their ttarta taere. A gentrV man from Denver told rre lately that Rsed had certainly gotten over being as loaeaame as a Ictt dog, tbough he stiil continues to epeakci Indiaca as Mb home. The preacher nw has bis lea lire places settled, and makes his calls with the regu'arity of tbe tun. He has the faculty of meeting all kinds of yeople on tbe square, and it is from them that he acquires tne points with which hrs termons bristle truths so palpable that ia hearing or reading we wonder why we never tbonjiht thote thoughts Kefore. No one hears cr reads his dir courses without experiencing a larger rvm nre for what is best in human i-ature. Why Reed migrated from Indianapolis las been a matter of speculation, and fceerch-minded folks have attributed it to a qnarrel between himself and church. Wyrcn W. Peed was not that kind cf a pre cefcer, eud he didn't have that kind of a cor.greeation. Tbe secret of his going to Deiivet was his friend Dr. Da La Maryr.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR. Fall of a Stone Stairway In the Court-House at Thiers, France Twenty-four Killed and Nearly Two Baa. dred Injared, Home of Whom will Die.
Paris, Jane 11. At Thiers, a town in the Department oi Pay de Dome, a murder trial has been in progress for some days. Yesterday, the last day of the trial, tha Courthouse was crowded with men and women anxious to witness the closing scenes. Whea the people began leaving, immediately af ier tbe adjournment of the court, and were jammed upon the stone stairway leading to tbe 81 re et, the lofty staircase fell. The scene tbat followed wr.s appalling. Immenso masses of masonry from above crashed down on the struggling people below, grinding through their flesh and bones, and maiming and mutilating them in a borribls manner. The fall of the staircase end th9 shrieks cf tfce people lying helpless ia tha ruins ciuiad a panic in the court-room, and there wa? a rush for the now wrecked exit. Those wa were in front were unable to withstand tie pressure from behind, aad were hurlsddowa upon tbe men aod women crushed in the fall of the ataircese, and whom the people in the streets were already striving to reioaa. A hen at ler gth the panic had exhausted it self, and the immense stone steps of the fallen stairs bad been removed, twenty prtons were taken frym tb9 ruins dead.

He wai a highspirited, truly-cultured gentleman, and could not endnre the idea of beingdependentupon SDtcnp. and ha apparently thought tbat hia condition would ere long become one of helplessness. He had consented, thoneh, without hot to fX-:ith his wife to YpsilanU, Mich., and rerx.'D during the eumraer. a.11 arlanements, even to the picking of tüir trunks, had been made, and they should hsve started on that journey this morning. But he seems to have regarded it a hopeless venture, and decided to end all as he did. Just a few days ago he remarked to a friend that hs never expected to bs any better. This feeling took possession of him, and ntivedhis band to firs the fatal ba i into his bead Mr. Johns toa during health was one of tbe most agreeable, companionable and popular Mlows in the city.

GLADSTONE RESIGNS.
Salisbury Asked to Forma New Cabinet Farnell Urges the Tories to Adopt tbe Home-Role M ra are la Ireland. Los po, June 12. The Qicenhss acefpted the res'gnaticn of the Gladstone ministry, and hss eummcned the Earl cf Salisbury to form a rew cabinet. It has just been learned from aa authoritative source that lher;p:rt to the eJect that the Marquis of Salisbury Lai been eummcned by the Qneoa to Balmoral, and that be left last night for the castle, is true. The Msrquis started seoetly at midnight for Baimcral. Now that it Las become apparent, by tbe departure of the Marquis of Sillsbury for Balmoral, that the Tories will assume the reins cf government, the Parnellite members of Parliament have bs.un conferring with leadiDg Conservatives in regard to the government of Ireland. Mr. l'arnell and hia followers strongly urge the Tories to adopt the home rule measure for Ireland, stating that the advocacy of such a step by the conservatives would completely dish the Liberal?. The Mrquis of Salisbury has arrived at Balmoral. At 5 o'clcck this afternoon Mr. Gladstone received a communication from the Qieen. In this communication Her Majesty acknowledges tbe receipt of the resignation of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet. Her Majesty also states that, pending the cDneideraticn of tbe resignation of the Gladstone Ministry, Ehe bad eummoned to Balmoral the Marquis of Salisbury. Telegrams from all the different points alcrg tbe rente taken by the Marquis ot Salubury to Balmcral Ehow that the journey was trade through a continued series of popular ovations. On all that part of the way which lies in Scotland crowds of people assembled at all tbe railway Etations and cheered to "the coming man." At Aberdeen Station, where the train stopped, ths cemoaEtraticn was rarticnlAily enthusiastic. Here sc n. e ore called out. "Three cheers for Gladstone," and the invitation was greeted with groats and kisses. It was reported to-day in certain circles that the Marquis of Salisbury, after a consultation with the Conservative leaders, had deciked to adviee that e Sorts be made to indece Mr. Gladstone to reconsider his resolve to resign, and, should these efforts fail, then toseggest th&t Sir S'afford Noithcote be called cpon ts form a Cabinet In tbe House of Lords this afternoon Lord Granville announced that Mr. Gladstone had tendered to the Queen the resgnation of himself and the entire Cabinet. Lord Granville also stated that the Qaeen had accepted the resignation, and bad eummoned to her presence the Marquis cf Salisbury, who ia cow at Balmoral in conference with Her Majesty. Therefore, Lord Granville said, ho heped the Heute would abandon all ordinary bn6ir.es?, . The remainder cf Ihe session was occupied in rcairg lor the third time the Redistribilion of Ssati bill and passing the amendments thereto. Mr. Gladstone anonncod iu the Hones of Corxrcois ILii afternoon that he had resigned biscfSce; that the Qaeen had accepted his resignation, and that Her Majesty bai informed him that Ehe had sumraoaed the Marquis of Salisbury, the leader of ths Opposition in the House of Lords, to Balmoral for the purpose of intrusting him wiih the formation of a tew Ministry. Mr. Gladstone, continuing, said that under the peculiar circumstances surrounding tha oatgoixjg Government, be would, a little later, propesa that tbe Honse of Commons adjourn until next Monday. The question had arisen, he proceeded, whether it would be best for public convenience and interest to 0 on with the pending legislation conccrnirg the Redistribution cf Seats bill. The present Government would only do so with the consent of tbe House. He did not believe that any difference of principle in rescect to this important measure could now possibly arise between the parties, and he reminded tha Hcuce that tha Government and the Opposition were both ender a compact regarding the Redistribution bill. It would, cowever, be eratlfyirg to himrelf and his colleagues ia the retiring Cabinet if, before thsy cease thair public duties, they could regard toe bill as sealed and delivered. SirStaliard Norcote. on behslf ef the Conservatives, responded that his party deeiied to proceed with the Redistribution bill a rapidly as possible. There wes no reason whv tfco amendments made to tbe bill by the House of Lords should not at once receive the assent of the II suae of Commons; but the question of t'aeje amendments was in this peculiar shape : tbe amendments were cot yet printed, and he thought it desirable ta have them printed before formally acting on them. Mr. Gladstone expressed acquieeence with thi3 view aad the sitting of the Bouse was suspended until tbe amendments should be received. Tne emendments es pa?sed by the Lords, having finally reached the Honse, tbe sitting was returned. It wes decided to make the amendments the subject of discussion on next Monday, and adjournment was taken to that date. Tbe Daily News eays that the statements that Mr. Gladstone intends to retire from the leadership cf the Liberals is unauthorized. A meesege from Mr. Gladitone arrived at Balmoral two hours btfors Lord Salisbury. The Qaeen leaves 111 moral on Ta.day, and will arrive at Windsor Castle Wednesday morning. It is st&ted that a mestaee from tbe Queen has arrived for Sir StaSord Noithccte. Will Form a AlinUtry. London, June 11. The Marquis cf Salisbury has decided to form a Conservative Ministry, and is in active negotiation with Sir Steflard Northcote, the Dake of Richmond, Mr. Rowland Winn, merubar of Parliament for North Lincolnshire; and Mr. Edward Stanbopo, member of Parliament for Mid-Lincolnehlre.
