S -MF. one has said, and said truly, that religion is in its essence the most gentlemanly thing in the world. Postmaster Jino, of Chicago, has appointed a woman to the charge of one of the important sub-stations in that city. "Political Prohibitionists in Ohio" are greatly worrying the organs; but the Prohibition wave there is moving steadily along. "Unofficial returns of the census just taken fchow the population of Boston to be under oJO.COO. and increase of about 7.5 per cent. fcince 1SW. TEOr-LE seem to be getting so particular of late that it begins to look as if the would-be bigamists will soon have to go around with credentials. The latest lie that Mr. Tilden had expressed great dissatisfaction with the administration has been squelched by Mr. Tilden. There is no truth in it. A Feenc h artist pictures Satan as a young yoman w ith a yellow wig, penciled eyebrows and dress tied back until her knee joints can be seen to work as she walks. Sixty theaters were burned in this country last year, and sixty managers probably lieaved sixty very large sighs of relief, and looked about for other business. We are glad to announce that the report that General Grant was recently bung in cttigy at "Wirt, Iowa, is denounced indignantly m false by the citizens of that town. The harvest of small grains in Southwest I'akota and the adjoining counties of Nebraska and Iowa is the largest ever known. Cora is well advanced, and the yield will be immense. "With cholera in .Spain and other portions of the continent, yellow fever in Mexico and New York, and small (ox at Montreal, this doe not seem to be an "off year" for epidemic plagues. It is said that Commissioner Black has found at least ÖUÖ cases of pension frauds in C hicago recently. Thousands of payments Lave also been made to the widows of soldiers who have remarried. A New York physician claims to have invented an instrument whereby the workings of the brain, can be determined. Why not mpply the Departments with them, so that applicants for otlice can be duly tested? Mux Ada Sweet, of Chicago, has evolved a morsel for llepublioans to roll under their tongues sweeter than Tolu gum. By the way, her name could be more appropriately nrranged. It should be .Sweet Miss Ada. The Ilepublioan pajers seem to skip over the fact that J odd, the horse thief apjHjintjnent, was recommended by prominent "United States Senators. Wherefore? Judd will compare favorably with any of the cxfctar ltoute gang. The Studebakcr Brothers, of South Bond, who were here last fall looking up a location for a new manufactory, finally concluded to locate in Chicago. They propose to erect on Michigan avenue an eight-story factory that will cost H-X,000. I.f relation to the upjointment of a Maine Postmaster, who was in jail for defalcation vht-n he was commissioned, a Washington Icial of the 22d says: ' S. S. Brown, the Chairman of the Maine Democratic State Committee, called on A-ting Postmaster ieneral Stevenson today, and made an explanation relative to the case f Dalton, the defaulting Deputy Postmaster at LincolnTille, Me., who is now in jail, but who was recently apiointed Postmasterat that place. The appointment was revoked when the tlepartmcnt was informed that the new aplintee was ia jail charged witU crime Jlr,

NOW

Brown explained that the" signatures to the petition, asking for the appointment of DaU ton were obtained and the papers forwarded to "Washington two months before the defalcation of D.-dton was discovered; that previous to- this he had lorne a good reputation, and the. recommendation for his apointuieut was made in good faith. Colonel Stevensem isuid the explanation was entirely satisfactory, anil that- he acquitted the citizens of any intention of recommending am unworthy man for office."

THE SURVIVORS OF THE CONVEN. TION. The meeting of the survivors of the constitutional convention of 1.V), which has been called for the urt Monday of October next by the President, George AY. Carr, and the Secretary, "William II. English, with the cordial approval of several prominent members, will be an occasion of general and unusual interest. The convention met on the 7th of October. 1.O0. and adjourned early in the morning of the 10th of February following, and in the thirty-five years, nearly, since that parting the convention lias passed into history, and to nine-tenths of the present population of the State is known only as any historical assemblage. Many are living yet who were living then, to be sure, but they either never saw the Ixjdy or knew anything of it except by report, and many more were too young to learn anything about it in any way. Thirty-five years cover the life of a generation, and the men who are managing the world now are mainly the men who were school-boys then when they were not babies, or just entering into active life. Most of the men who shaped work of the body are gone. Most of the fourth or fifth who remain were not old enongh or prominent enough to take a directing grip on the action of a l.Kdy so largely made up of the ablest men of the state. Although Democrats were largely in the majority the body was not in the main elected by partisan vote. That is, votes cast for partisan candidates, proposed by partisan bodies and nominations. In this county two Democrats and two Whigs were elected by agreement and suported in the election by both parties. The Democrats were Alexander F. Morrison, founder of the Democrat predecessor of the Sentinel, and at one time editor of the ."sentinel, and Jacob Page Chapman, its editor, and owner at the time its name was changed, and father of the late General George H. Chapman. The Whigs were ex-Governor David Wallace and Douglas Maguire, ex-Auditor of the State. Few subjec ts brought before the body were either started in a partisan impulse or were given a partisan direction. It was a liberal and able body, containing many of the most accomplished and intellectual men of both parties. It will sonnd strangely to most readers, no doubt, to hear Vice President Hendricks, and Hon. William S. Ilolman. and the late Vice President Colfax, and General Alvin P. Hovey, and Judge Advocate General McKee Dunn sjK)ken of as young men just entering prominently into political life, but that is what they will hear when that meeting of survivors is held. Most of the leading men of the body are dead, though, singularly enough, the President and Secretary both remain. There is no way in which the present generation can get any idea of the men who built the constitutional structure that has sheltered us so long, cramped us sometimes, and stood in the way sometimes, but in the main has done us good service as its framers could have hojK'd. As Judge McLean once said from the oench in this city of the National Constitution. "It has borne us gallantly," and we might more easily have had a worse than a better one. A daguerrean artist of the city took pictures ot all the members of the convention, which were preserved in one huge frame in the State Library for a long time, but th?se liave probably faded or been defaced and nothing has been seen of them for some time, even if they should prove to be in good condition. When the survivors meet, photographers should, and no doubt will, take admirable portraits of them, and if the old elaguerrotypes can be found they ought to be copied and reproduced by the improved process of to-day, and the look at "this picture and at this" will be instructive and interesting to everyone, especially to those who know the convention by sight and occasional attention. HEAVY REPUBLICAN STEALAGE. The Republican pajKrs are raising quite a hubbub over two or three triding defective appointments made by the administration. We call their attention to a colossal stealage by Republican officials amounting to nearly $l..Vio,(00, which dwarfs. into insignificance any and all of the mistakes of the present Democratic administration. The enormous amount of defalcations alluded to in the foregoing were the result of stealings on the part of Federal officials in Louisiana, or their employes. A large proportion of the Federal officers under Republican Presidents have been defaulters. They either robbed the Government' themselves or their clerks tlid. A corresjondent of the New York Sun lias given the matter a thorough overhauling, and he estimates the total of the various defalcations at $1, 020,000, of which the Government loses nearly $l,"U0,O0o. He first takes up the United fctates Sub-Treasury at New Orleans and what is revealed. We ask the attention of our readers to the figures given: "Messrs. T. T. May and W. Wlmaker were the first two holders of this ofti e after the war. Both are on the Sub-Treasury books to-day as short, the amount lost through them being $700.000. Under Whitaker's successor, George 8. Walton, the Government lost only .$12,000, that being the amount of a forged check paid by him. His successor, Charles Clinton, afterward Auditor of the State, was robbed of $-,700, which Congress remitted. Next came the present Treasurer, Mr. P. F. Herwig, who is soon to retire. His losses, through the defalcation of his confidential clerk, Aufdemorte, were :f2.",000, making a total loss since lsiy; for this deiiirtnient alone of $742,700.'' General Benton, who took Iosscssion of the internal revenue after the war, was "short" 2-0,000, and Charles Smith $00,000. James S. Chapman was short $ 20,000, but his bondsmen paid it. Chapman was succeeded by Oscar Rice, who was a defaulter for $12,0"O. Rice, by the by, -was the only one of the Federal officials in Louisiana who was really punished, the others being fined a very small part of the sum they robVd the Government of. Rice was found guilty and sentenced to the ienitcntiary, from which he was released only last week. A. W. Norcross, in the Awwr's otlice,

defaulted to the tune of $173. 000. the Government losing the entire amount. The

Postoftice at New Orleans shows up as badly as the other Federal department there, except, says the corresjondeut, if it was not the Post master who d?faulted, it was some inferior clerk. Colonel W. B. Smallwood was vic timized in this way to the tune of $4.000, all of which he had to make good, although it ruined hint. Mr. Taliaferro, who suc ceeded him, was out $12.0M0, which his bondsmen made good. C. W. Lowell, at one time Speaker of the House in Louisiana, was out a very lame sum. and his bondsmen persuaded the Government to compromise it for $s,000. Both of his successors, Messrs. Farker and Merchant, had. oti more tliau one occasion, to make good the shortages of their employes. In the Collectorship, Perry Ful ler, the first Collector under Republican rule, went to New Orleans from Indian Ter ritory, in which far-off region his bond was made. When his accounts were ascertained to be short there was no way of getting the money, and Fuller was allowed to go scot free and his defalcation credited to profit and los-s. REPUBLICAN AMMUNITION. That New York correspondent of the Boston Herald who "is on the insido of things at Wa-hington and New York," as an organ says, certainly jets on the outside "of thing" occasionally, if not usually. This was the case when he "saw a close friend of Manning" a few days ago who told him that the Secretary of the Treasury "is very ill-at-eas? in Washington, and longs to get back to private life and the companionship of his wife." Secretary Manning is altogether too shrewd to entrust any confidences to such a "close friend" as the leaky individual described, who would unburthen himself thus to that Boston Herald correspondent, ti tell the readers of his paper that Mr. Manning "may be expected to resign at any moment, though in all probability not until after the autumn elections." That last clause is good, and the B. II. correspondent eloubtless expects it to help him out. No, Mr. Manning will not resign '"until oftrr the autumn elections' in fact, probably not for some years after. He is the right man for the place, and Mr. Cleveland knows it as well as do the people, who have discovered the fact of his fitness by his able management of his department. The Republicans would be glad to see an orlicer placed at the head of the Treasury who would make a financial failure of its management. They have no hone of such a result while so able a financier is in charge as is Secretary Manning. The organs discover nothing to find fault with in Mr. Manning's conduct of the National Treasury, excepting of course his occasionally "turning the rascals out." As to his handling the money bureaus of the Government, they find no vulnerable point of attack. But they must raise a hue and cry somewhere about Secretary Manning, so their iolicy is to claim that tl-i President and his Secretary of the Treasury are not on good terms; that there is a coolness between them, and thus do they hope to create a belief among the people that a schism exists between these two, who are really warm friends, who understand themselves and each other perfectly. Having unsuccessfully tried this tack for a long time, the organs are now clamoring that Mr. Manning really wants to step down and out into private life, and intends doing so; but they take the precaution of stating it upon the "if not this time some other time" vague sort of way as the B. II. correspondent has done. When we sift to the bottom all the fault found by the Republican press with- the Cleveland administration, how little there is of moment to the people. Their cry is principally confined to bewailing the decapitation of Republican officials' heads, and to howling because fat contracts are taken from those who have for" many years drawn sustenance from Uncle Sam until they roll in the wealth extracted from his Treasury and las broad domain of Western lands. It savors of the snarl of a wolf when even a former Secretary of the Navy shows his teeth and growls because John Roach has lost a job which the g. o. p. had given him so long ago that he considered it his birthright. Fverything shows that the Republicans have lost their grip: that they have no longer a iolicy. Principles to fight for they now have none, unless it be the spoils principle. The eople are getting an honest Govern ment conomically administered. They are seeing reforms made where such innovations have long been needed. They know that the pruning knife is at work, and will lop o'F decayed branches and "suckers," and they realize that it is the Democratic administration which is engaged ujxm this task, not before undertaken for a generation. The organs may continue to publish the stories hatched up by their correspondents about the so-called coolness between the President and members of his Cabinet. They must have some cud to chew. Meantime the new administration is making itself so solid with the people that the organs are beginning to realize that the Democratic lorty has ''come to stay" in power. They aim at sowing seeds of dissension in our ranks, but such a course only adds to their own weakness while it detracts not from Democratic strength. A NOTABLE REUNION. We publish elsewhere in this issue a call for a reunion of the surviving members of the Indiana Constitutional Convention of 18.30, which formed the present Constitution of Indiana; also a call for a reunion, at the same time, of the Legislature of 1S31-2, which revised the laws of the State with a view to having them conform to the new Constitution. The invitation is also extended to the surviving members of the several legislatures held under the old Con stitution. The meeting will be held at Indianatolu on the first Monday in next October, the thirty-filth anni versary of the meeting of the Con vention, and is expected to last three days. It tleserves to be, and no doubt will le. a notable event. The men comjiosing these bodies were, in some degree, fathers of the State. The people of Indiana have every reason to be proud of such representatives, Over three-fourths of them have passed away, but we are told one object of the con templated reunion is to collect and preserve biographical sketches of the departed. This is well, for the name and fame of such men are the common property of the State, go to

make up its history.and should be preserved. There is no reason why the reunion should riot be pleasant and an entire success. We will, to-morrow, publish a full list of the members o.lthe Convention and legislature.

Theke is a general expression of confidence in a speedy revival of business. With encouraging reiorts from the West and South indicating as fine crop prospects as our country has ever known, trade has been stimulated by the anticipated heavy demand for the fall requirements. A spirit of hopefulness iervades all branches of business, many strikes of long duration have ended, and general indications are of a more cheering character than for two years past. Prices continue to rule low, and will for some time, even after a decided turn for the better has fully set in. There 13 no immediate prospect of an unusual foreign demand for our surplus grain'at high prices, but cereals are not likely to rule lower than now, while we expect a large superabundance of wheat, corn, cotton and other products will be realized this season from all sections of our Union. No oxe in Washington places any credence in the New York Mail and Express story about a falling out between Cleveland and Tilden. Lies are being manufactured now in the Empire State by the Republicans to create an impression that discord exists in the Democratic ranks. It will not win. NewYork Democrats are harmonious. The gold-laced and besrnerched army darlings who have danced the last dozen years away in Washington are to be sent to join their commands in the West. From leading! the german to leading a detachment against the wild, untutored sons of the forest is a transition likely to make the b3nd-box and millinery heroes sick. Mr. Beechep. gives it out that .Heaven is a place of restless activity. There are classes of humanity to who.n this will be alarming and unwelcome intelligence. But it can be fairly supposed that Mr. Beecher knows almost as much about Heaven as Colonel Ingersoll knows about hell. The Oklahoma "boomers" have ceased to boom. This is one of the good results of the President's action in ordering the cattle Barons out of Indian Territorv, The Erie Canal carried 10.0o0.000 more bushels of wheat into New York City than all the railroads that center there combined. Gen, CS rant is said to have been hanged in eftigy at Wirt, Ringgold County, Iowa, recently. Senator Frye, of Maine, says: I was in New Orleans durine the time Sheridan had charge, after the overthrow of the Kellosis government by the YVUite League, saw the (iencral every day, and was greatly impressed by him. In fact my estimate of nun was entirely changed. Uu my return to Washington, President iirant .sked mo about hiin. and I informed him of my greatly increased respect for the General. The 1'resident, with deliberation, said: "(Seneral Sheridan is the greatest living soldier. If there was to be a. wur demanding all the resources and men of the countrv, 1 know of no man dead or living to whom I would intrust its conduct sooner than to him." The Baltimore Sun says: Mr. J. L.

This woiiiu iniiicBte mat tue iKMnocrats ot roiiah are not verv mucn oispieasea wun president Cleveland for his action in suppressing Mr. Meade. The New York Times says: It is nonsense for companies using electric wires to persist in the claim that it is impracticable to work them under ground. That part of the prob lem is as good as settled. This may as well be taken as a startinz point, and the best method 01 providing for the wires of all the companies should besought. The plan of & general subway is undoubtedly the right one, and means can be found for adapting it to the use of all the wires. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph says: In yestcrdav's issue we published "An Engineer's story" In verse. It was supposed by us to bo the crude efiort of an amateur lKK-t, and to gratiiy him the wrinkles were smoothed out of it so that the meter would not be out of joint: but it seems that our cft'orts were unappreciated. The author seuds um a long letter, in which he says the IKH-m was horribly butchered. This is what a newspaper gets for'allowing amateur poetry to apear outside 01 tne waste nastei. The Abbeville (S.

Matthew Arnold, in his speech on giving away the prizes at Dulwich College, England, said that the reign of the English middle classes is now just over and that of the dem ocracy has begun. The Illinois State Journal says that public improvements in hard times are "a kind of socialism that will bear investigation," and agrees that the idea should be widely consid ered. Hard times, of late years, have come to mean that one class gets all the money and loc ks it r.p. Hard times used to mean that every one was poor.

The rab ble rout of frantic mistresses and plaintiff husbands has no terrors for a tenacious widow when she has undertaken to marry and reform a distinguished rake. The London World is informed that in the course of the autumn Mr. Parnell intends publicly and decisively to break with Mr. Davitt. The relations of the two Irish leaders have become more and more strained, and it is impossible much longer to avoid a rupture. Mr. Pamell intends to rely on the support of the Irish farmers, and Mr. Davitt will endeavor to rally the Irish laborers n land nationalization principles. Some of

Mr. Daviti's friends think that if he can get men he will be able to return twenty members from Ireland.

For every man killed in war, ten have been sent over the gulf by the aid of tin? corkscrew. Chicago Ledger. The divine rule of doing as we would be done by is never better put to the test than in matters of good evil speaking. We may sophisticate with ourselves and ujxh the manner m which we should wish tobe treated under many circumstances; but everybody recoils instinctively from the thought of being spoken ill of in his absence. Leigh Hunt. Si cn of the religious press as are trying to make out that the Sunday disasters to excurion parties are visitations of Providence for the desecration of the Sabbath are appealim; to an old superstition for the purpose of awakening terror. Accidents happen to excursions on Mondays and all other times, as well as on the Lord's day. If no better ar guments than these can be f rodueed .the subject had better be dropped at once. "It is not to be doubted that the adminis tration desires the public prosperity and the revival of business. All iolitical interests prompt it to promote such a change as far as lossible. Some of the men who nave a part in the administration are active in business and suffer as well as others from the depres sion which has been so severe since the elec tion. It is easy to believe, therefore, that if the fd'uinistratio'n could see by what steps it could hasten the revival of business it would be strongly inclined to take those steps. New York Tribune. We have many false ideas about reverence. We should be shocked, for instance, to see a market woman come into church with a bas ket of eggs on her arm; we think it more reverent to lock her out till Sunday, and to surround the church with respectability of iron railings. I believe that it is truly rever ent when the market woman, hot and hur ried in the morning, her head much confused with calculations of the probable price of eggs, can nevertheless get within the church porch, lay the basket down on the very steps of the altar and receive thereat as much of help and hope as may serve her for the day's work.

All the relatives of Ex-President Wheeler have died during the past ten years. Should Justice Coleridge's married life turn out unhappily, he can grant himself a divorce. It is a notable fact that the inventor of the Catling gun peacefully resides in the same city with Mark Twain.

The Emperor of Japan can trace his de scent for 2,000 years, during all of which time his family have been on the throne. Berry Wall, who is. called "King of the Dudes" in New York, manages to spend an income of $50,000 a year in keeping up that reputation. Beecher has received a hundred different letters threatening assassination, but he keeps right on promulgating new doctrines, and does not lose a moment's sleep. Leo Tatil, the infidel writer, recently con verted to Catholicism, has been solemnly relieved from excommunication by the Pope's Nuncio at Paris. His wife still remains unconverted. Oliver Optic, whose stories, over twenty years ago, gave many boys living in localities far removed from the battle fields their only picturesque glimpses of the war, is only sixty-three years old. Michael Chevrei l, the chemist, was born on August 31, 1780. Consequently his hundredth birthday will be on the last day of this month, when the Parisian students purpose makinga special celebration. Mr. William Stead, the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, is unpleasantly reminded by the Atlanta (Ga.)

A bad state of things lias Ix-en developed there. At the last session of Con s?res MUOW was appropriated for the completion of the approaches to the building, for a clock, and for sewer connections. On the strength of this appropriation the citizen subscribed $1."00 for a tine clock bell, which was to enable residents of the city and vicinity within a radins of six miles tb-keej the time an set their watches by. But months passed by and there was no sign of the clock, lhis led to inquiry, and inquiry led to disasreeable revelations. It- now ap pears that Supervising Architect Bell has spent the whole so ,000. and that only d,4 of the sum has gone for any of the objects embraced m the appropriation.
