The Illinois Legislntmv mot y»V Urday. It is Republican by ;i majority. and will have no trouble in electing a Republican to -uooeed General Logan; but oil) not hope to find a man, in any pa - tv, great enough to fully fiir Loi all’s place in the councils of the nation; anil among tiiV loaders of hi.--party. There are a number of cnndiiatrs for the vacant senatorshjp, . .the most prominent of whom being '..’has. B. Farwell, of Chicago, an j xscongressman, of several terms experience, and an able and worthy man. He is a brother and former ■partner ot John V. Farwell, the wealthy wholesale merchant of Chicago../ The State Supreme Court decided unanimously, last Tuesday, in the case involving the Lieutenant Governorship, against the Democrats, in their petition to have the Secretary of State enjoined from certifying the vote cast for 1 ieutenant Governor to the Speaker of the House. This leaves no legai means open to the democratic schemers by which they can deprive Mr. Robertson of his office, and their plan is now said to be to place Senator Smith in the chair, of presiding oftioer of the Senate, and to pay no attention to the just and lawful rights of Col. Robertson, Tht gang is desperate and unprincpled enough to adopt any means to gain their ends. The advance that has been made in the appliances of war, offensive and defensive, in cannons, vessels, fortifications and torpedoes, during ♦lie last twenty-five years, lias been greater than in any previous two centuries. The American people gave; tins wonderful advance its initial impulse, during our civil w ar, but having staffed the movement it has been left t>> other nations to carry it out to its full develogement, while our own country has done nothing, and is now, measured by the ordinary standard of human progress, fully two centuries Ireland the times, in the matter of war preparations. Our position, in this respect, to-day, with our small and inferior cannons, slow old tubs of vessels, worthless shells of forte and wvefcehedly imperfect torpedo system, is as far Ireland most of the civilized nations* of the earth, as were ..the warlike nations of two “ceiituries ago behind the present ' condition of the United States. And the worst feature of the matter is the ignorance and apathy that prevailslamong the people in regard to this deplorable and disgraceful condition.

Demoeratic Feuds in Indiana.

The difficulties surrounding the election of a Democrat to the* l'nh ted States Senate from Indiana are increased by the McDonaldGray feud. Mr. Gray, who is one of the boldest, trickiest, least cultured, and least culturable men in the Btntt\ hml the pipes well kikl for tils iHUiiii.atioTt r.mi election by l!: ■ i.t Mslatim-. lie ppj irlit • : Hie leii.'t s.a-1 uptiii.tis GjiUiiiv C.-.i-VeßtitHl lJKUlllgei.s tOftti f If Wiii • ' Jl; Ins gi.t hs\V iv.f ,if . H * ihL' i>.e . p usprcnfftti atp| udtpiruMii in L t AiVial orhi’.es, cuutindent Opon iiis achievement of the beimte. to other managers. And Inul the returns answered to the calculations of the men who fixed up the nowburst and shattered gerrymander of the State, Gray would have gone to the Senate. That he would have been the most, ignorant and intriguing member of the body is likely enough, but he w ould have been a member of it. As.it is, the Democrats do not have a law tub majority in the Indiana Legislature. If they succeed in creating an unlawful oue, the election of Gray as Senator would leave the administration of State aflfaiis to a ilepublicaii Governor. McDonald’s friends are using this argument strongly, and, moreover. McDonald has more friends than Gray, those who are made friends h> .the. gift or promise of office being left out of consideration. It is probable, however, that Grays hired men will be able to prevent the election of McDonald, in the remote evem of their being any Democratic election. Gray being out of the way and McDonald slain, Dynum becomes the strong mail. Anti lie is a strong man. Me lias slain the Englishes, father and soil, with his red right hand, and Ims frightened their former henchman into avowing that the taking off of their now politically dead ohi leaders u-as a pious act. He has the Mugwumps behind him, anti the labor leagues around him, the saloon men cheering him, and the prohibitionists praying for him. Mr. Dynuih is the boldest and brainiest man that the Indiana Democrats have had among them since Dick Bright was expelled front the iSennte. His presence complicates affairs which were already badly complicated. And, between the Bvmuninen, the Gray men, and the McDonald men there is likely to be such disharmony of council in conspiracy as io leave the lawful Republican majority in possession or the iwgis- | iatuye, and that means the ve-elec-i fion of General Man Lon. — -ht 1 ’ c- !
