"BILL" ALLEN'S AGE OF all the absurd objections to William •fvneri oi Ohio as a presidential candidate, the most foolish in our opinion is that based upon his age. Whether lie is six-ty-nine, as the Cincinnati Enquirer says, or an hundred and sixty-nine, matters little. Age is not a matter ol years, any way. lie is a hale and hearty old gentleman no matter what his age is, and bids fair to outlive many a man, younger in vears, whose vital spark has been encased in a less sturdy body, and whose life has been less'carefully spent. The GAZETTE docs not like Mr Allen's financial views, and finds in them an insuperable objection to his candidacy, but on all else we respect and admire him. .His Democracy is of the old type, and his honesty too. cars have .onlj added to his rich fund of experience without weakening his intellect or impairing hi 5 judgement. "Old Bill" Allen, as the boys call him, is a gentleman of that antique pattern, where pride of family, and position lent its powerful aid to moral principle, to keep its possessors clean handed. His -c will not hurt him and if nothing other than this could be adduced against him he would go through on the first ballotl*

OUR DAN ON HIS MUSCLE.
Wasliington Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. BLOOD IX THE CLOAK-ROOM.
Occupants of the cloak-room on* the Democratic side of the house were edified to-day by a si'ght of Congressional.angry passions, which reached to the verge of bloodshed. While Mr. Randall had the floor and the House was droning over the Legislative Appropriation Bill several members retired to the cloak-room to smoke, among them Mr. Blackburn, a Kentuckian, and some of his friends, with Ex-Member Dan Voorhees. The case of Hallet Kilbourn coming up for discussion, Blackburn remarked, with some warmth, that it was "a damned outrage to have the auth ri and dignity of Congress impeded and invaded by a dirty little Police Court such as this of Carters. There is not," said Blackburn, "an honest Court in the District save the United.-States Supreme Court—not one that can't be bought for a song."
To this Mr. Voorhees replied, with some warmth, that the great writ of habeas corpus must be respected by any body, no matter however dignified, and that the House plainly had no power over Kilbourn.
Mr. Blackburn admitted that a competent court might, but not such a venal and disreputable set as the District court before which Kilbourn was taken. "You," said Voorhees, emphasizing 'von' markedly, ''as a member of Congress have no right to make such an attack on the courts."
Flaring up, and coming near the speaker. Blackburn said: "You know, sir, that the courts here arc blistered and seared with corruption."
To this Voorhees responded "A member of Congress should be the last one to make such a criticism as that. I would not trust even you as a member of Congress and, seeing the force and directness of his rcmarhs, lie added "I would not trust myself as a member of Congress."
At this juncture blood was apparently in the air, and friends of the wranglers interposed to preserve peace. This is the second episode in which Mr. Voorhees has figured as a muscular Christian, lie is credited with attacking, on some question of a similar sort, an Indiana member a few days since, and because of contradiction and two or three feet less in stature, knocked the unfortunate man to the ground, leaving his friends to bind up the wounds and cover up the scandal.
THE HASKET FA1LIJKE.
Liabilities Probably in Excess of $150*000 Assets From $40,000 to S50,000—W. C, "Wilson Appointed
Assigned. From the Robinson Argus. During the past week the general theme of conversation has been the failure of the Messrs. IlaskettBros., and the discussion of their probable liabilities and assets.
A great many of the creditors from this county had been on the week before the failure" secured by mortgages which had been privately executed by the firm without the knowledge of the parties to whom they were made, and which were placed on file in the recorders office bv them on Momday morning. The grocery store was sold to Mr. Opdike to secure him—cn Monday other parties were given notes held by" the firm, when they called to see about their claims. Others brought suit for their amounts, and judgments were entered by confession, and execution issued and levied upon property and the indications were that the home creditors would be able to secure at least 75 per cent, of what was due them. Thursday, however, creditors from ahroad came in and held a meeting, in which it was resolved to throw the' firm into bankruptcy. As this would undo all the sales of goods, property mortgages, and transfer of notes, it was'resolvedly the home creditors to resist this move, but when the circumstances were investigated, and it was found that the foreign rwljt^i-c sented enough of the indebtedness of the firm to carry their point, a compromise was eftected by an agreement bctwean the parties that the creditors should surrender their liens, and an assignee be appointed. In accordance with this agreement a meeting of the creditors was help on Monday, and W. Wilson, of this place, appointed assignee, the creditors agreeing to receipt their claims in full when the property shall be^ disposed of and the dividend paid.

1874 he received in all $34,000 from the attorney general for the expenditure of which he had receipts. He exhibited his plans for detecting and preventing frauds at elections, and stated that he expended of his own money $5,000 prior to August 1S71, for which he had no vonchcrs and that the moneys received were to reimburse him and to pay future expenses. The monev was to pay for work actually done and not for information whatever was^paid for information was paid out of witnesses'pocket, Witness saw the president at Long Branch and exhibited his books and papers to show the class of work he was doing. The money was therefore given eim, Recess.
Davenport said he never carried a written order from the President to At-torney-General Williams for money. Mr. Williams had stated that to be the case, but he was mistaken. The only objection Williams ever made to paying that money was that the fund was to be used in the south. If Mr. Williams stated otherwise on this point, he was mistaken in that also. Attorney-General Williams wrote to pay the witness, and then his connection with it ceased. All vouchers for expenses between July 13, and September 26, 1872, are in the Treasury department, except, perhaps, a few bills.

The Usual Resolutions.
Little Rock, April 27.—The Republican state convention was called to order at 12 o'clock to-day by Senator Clayton, chairman of the state'central committee. After the appointment of a committee on credantials, a recess was taken until 2:20 p. M.
On reassembling, the committee on credentials reported all the counties but eight represented.
The committee appointed on permanent organization reported the following permanent officers:
J. Brooks, president J. H. Johnson (colored), Geo. A. Grace and N. Ji. Laiton, vice presidents II. M. Cooper, R. A. Dawson (colored), J. P. Jones, (colored), secretarys. Dawson and Johns declined to serve, and Ed Rcvy and J. II. Smith (colored) were substituted.
The announcement was then made that Mr. Brooks had been taken very suddenly and violently ill, and it was impossible" for him to be present, on motion of Senator Dorsey, General Upham was then declared the permanent chairman, and the report of the committee adopted.
Judge McClure moved the appointment of a committee of nine on resolutions, to whom all resolutions should be referred without debate. Adopted.
Committees were also appointed to select delegates to the Cincinnati convention, and to suggest names lor that State central committee.
A recess of one hour was then taken. The committee on delegates to the Cincinnati convention reported the follwing names: Pawell Clayton, S. W. Dorsey, Jno. McClure, R. A. Dawson, O. P. Snider, Joseph Brooks, Jno. M. Peck, O. A. Haley, C. C. Waters, Jno. H. Johnson, Frank Gallagher, Asa Hodges, J. V. Vaughan, H. M. Cooper, J. N. Seiber, M. W. Gibbs, Wm. Kenan, J. II. Clen dening, M. W. Benjamin, R. A. Caldwell. The delegates are instructed to cast the vote as a unit The report was adopted,
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions then ported a series of resolutions. The first reasserts allegiance to the Republican party.
The second recites that the citizens of the several states are citizens of the nation with equal rights under the constitution and laws without regard to place of birth, color, race or previous condition and it is the duty of the country Jo .? up hold this idea.
The third favors an honest and economical government, and prompt punishment of dishonesty in official places.
The fourth favors an efficient system of common schools, supported by general ,Qf
An
party with robbing the state of the school fund' to pay salaries of officers whereby the public schools were closed by reason therof.
The fifth provides that to the soldiers and sailors who fought to preserve the Union, the nation owes a debt of gratiiude, and they, as well as the widows and orphans of those fallen, deserve a liberal provision for their support. gj The last is as follows:
Resolved, That we hereby declare Hon. Oliver .P Morton to be the choice of the Republicans of this State for President.
After the reading of the resolutions, E. A. Fulton, (colored) moved that the delegation to the Cincinnati Convention be instructed to vote for Governor Morton nntil his name be withdrawn or they are released by Governor Morton himself. [Cries of "No, No."]
Senator Clayton took the floor and said that no man would go further than he to express his regard and admiration for Senator Morton, but he did not think tho amendment would make the resolution any stronger.
Fulton replied that he believed there were men on that delgation who were friends of Mr. Conkling. He wanted to bind all of them to vote for Morton. As for himself, he would not support Conkling.
Senator Clayton then PAID AN EULOGY TO GOV. MORTON, saying it would be crnel in the colored people to desert him now. He again reiterated that the resolntion implied all that the delegates desired.
C. C.'Waters, a delegate elect, did not understand the resolutions as Senator Clayton. He understood them to mean that if the delegation should find it injurious to the Republican party, Mr. Morton's name might be dropped for some other.
R. A. Dawson (colored) thought some of the delegates were not friendly to Morton, and desired the resolution made stronger, so that the delegation would stand by Morton all the time.
J. P. Jones (colored) said that in looking over the list ot twenty-four delegates, he found the names of only four colored men. He thought the committee had a poor appreciation of the bone and sinew of the Republican party of this State, and desired the report recommitted. ,.c_. .7.'.-f- .'
ANOTHER SERIES OF RESOLUTIONS. W. G. Whipple, at this point, offered a series of resolutions in lieu of those pending.
The first favors a specic basis the second, justice to.the colored man the third arraigns the Democratic party, and de: clares it would be a public calamity for it to return to power the fourth announces that no one who is not above reproach,and in favor of honesty,&c., should be nominated the fifth provides that the delegation to Cincinnati go uninstructed as to any particular pereon, but shall carry out the ideas enunciated in the resolutions.
These resolutions went to he committee on resolutions, under a previous order, without debate.
The convention then took a recess till 7:30 P. M. Little Rock, April 27.—The convention reassembled at 8:30 r. M. 'The chairman stated.the.question to be the amendment offered by Fulton, instructing ,tHe delegates to .standby Governor Morton for president" until him.
M. W. Gibbs, (colored) president of the late colored convention at Cincinnati, said he was opposed ordinarily to instruction and was epposed to the amendment of Fulton. He-would favor the original resolution of the committee, because it simply says that Governor Morton is she choice of the Republicans of Arkansas for president.
Fulton then WITHDREW HIS AMENDMENT, SFCTFI
and the- resolution originally reported by the committee was adopted, Whereas, The Demouratic party at the election held in in September, 1874,. for the adoption of the present constitution,
'tt:
^(t5e&l8a#°n of State and county officers' in^ counties, cSst 9,000 more votes than"there were male persons over the acre of 21 years rosident therein, according to the census, and-^
Whereas," The democratic legislature at its last session changed the time for holding all state and county elections' from the first Monday in September to the first Tuesday after the first Monday inNovember, but refused to make any change as to the next election for state and county officers and
Whereas, The refusal aforesaid could not have been based upon any other theory or idea thap to repeat the frauds which were perpetrated in 1874 which could not be done if held where a United States supervisor was present and
Whereas, It would he WORSE THAN FOLLY for the Republican party to put a state ticket in nominatien with the hope of electing the same at an election held by Democratic judges and clerks, at which a Republican would not be allowed to be present, therefore
Resolved. That in view of the facts stated, and in view of our personal but bitter experience, we deem it advisable not to put a state ticket in nomination.
The committee appointed to suggest names for members of the state central committee, reported twenty names, with Senator Dorsey as chairman.
W. G. Whipple moved to substitute the name of Henry Rudd for that of Senator Dorsey, and after considerable discussion the motion was rejected.
A resolution was adopted empowering the central committe to select a State electoral ticket also, a resolution favoring the passage of an act to equalize bounties now pending before Congress. Adjourned sine die.
"THERE^MUSIc'lN THE AIR
The Head Devil Sent Up for Two Years and Fined $10,000.
Impsessive Sccsnes in the CourtRoom—The Opinion of the Court and Sentence—A
Two Weeks' Stay Granted—Scenes and Incidents.
From the St. Louis Journal.'
The United States court met at half past 10 o'clock yesterday morning for the purpose of rendering a decision in the case of. Wiii. McKee. Judge Dillon appeared in his seat, having arrived the night previous.
Judge Dillon stated that the court was prepared to reder a decision upon the motion in arrest of judgment and to dismiss in
THE CASE OK WM. M'KEE.
He then proceeded to read the decision with the uuthorities beuring upon the case, which were voluminous, and required more than a half hour to read.
Having concluded the reading of THE OPINION OF THE COURT.* in which both the motion in arrest of judgment and to dismiss were overruled. Judge Dillon said that if the circumstances attending the trial of McKee were not so fresh in the minds of all concerned, he would iehearse them, but as everyone was conversant with them, it was not necessary to do so.
He said it uu-ir'.i»»onme his.dutX-to.pro-. nounce sentence upon the prisoner, and that the statute had defined the limits of said sentence for the offense committed by the prisoner to be a-fine not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000, and im^prisonment not more than two years. •The law left it within the descretion of the court to make the sentence anywhere between the limits prescribed. It was also discretionary with the court whether the sentence of imprisonment should be served
IN THE JAIL OR THE PENITENTIARY. I-Ie said if the magnitude of the frauds alone were considered in conjunction with the verdict of the jury, it would seem that the sentence should be the maximum fine, and imprisonment in the Penitentiary, but there were other considerations which also had their weight upon the minds of the court.
In the first place the object of the lawlooked more to the certainty than the severity of punishment meted to offenders against its provisions. It is designed pot merely to punish the offender, but to deter others from committing like offenses. Secondly that there was a distinction between official offenders against the laws and those who have occupied no official position, broken no official oath, nor betrayed any official trust reposed in them.
In this connection, he thought it but just to remember and consider the former good character to the defendant his
LIFE-TIME OF USEFULNESS,
and the court had been iufluenced to a great extent by these considerations in arriving at their conclusion as to the place of punishment to which the prisoner' ^should be consigned. He quoted a remark of Judge Miller in support of this conclusion, to the effect that all the world over,those who betray an official trust reposed in them, are more culpable than those who do not betray a public trust. 1-Ie said: I confess to another consideration which has had great weight with me, at least, and that is the
INDELIBLE STAIN
that attaches, not enly to the prisoner under conviction, but to the family of the defendant—his wife and children. The crime covers those innocent ones with shame as well as the prisoner. I would rather have the consciousness when I lie down at night, of having given a decision on the side of mercy, as my sleep will be all the sweeter for the thought.
The sentence of the court will be that a fine of $10,000 be imposed against the prisoner, and that he be
IMPRISONED IN THE COUNTY JAIL for a term of two years At the announcement of the sentence all eyes were turned upon the prisoner, who was visibly affected, and blushed to the roots of his hair upon finding himself the cynosure of the eyes of every one present.
Judge Krum—I would now ask a suspension of sentence to enable the defendant to make application to the President for a commutation of sentence. We think that if tlia matter be submitted to the Executive he will favor a commutation of sentence. The suggestion is not unusual or improper in cases of this character, in view of the circumstance, and. we therefore ask a stay of two veeks for the purposes mentioned.
Judge Dillon—Mr. Dyer,'have you any suggestions to make in this matter? Col. Dyer—No, sir. But I have in the Maguire case.
Judge Dillon—We will dispose of this matter first. We will adjourn court for two weeks from to-day with the understanding that the judgment will not be entered, and on condition that the prisoner give additional recognizance of $25,000, with sureties-to be approved by the court. This course is not dictated by any apprehension that the defendant will attempt to avoid the fulfillment of his sentence, but as a compliance with the requirements made in such cases.
Judge Krum—I had intended to suggest, that: defendant would giv.e any rev« volunteers to become sUrebes^Wt under the circumstances, I presume the court would not accept him, he being an attorney of the defendant. 'v
ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT EDITORIAL. WE have at no time attempted to make the Globe-Democrat the special champion of Mr. McKee in the matter pending against him in the United States Courts since -last .October. We were unwilling to have it said that he was making use of a newspaper in which he happened to be a large'owner,: to obtain a vindication before the people, after his vindication or condemnation had beei

and final judgment rendered. coijrts, we think we but echo ^he popular sentiment in pronouncing the sentence extremely, if not unwarrantably, harsh and severe, arid out of all propotion to degree of criminality legally established and proved. After pointing out certain weill defined circumstances of mitigation, the judge proceeds to assess the maximum penalty both as to fine imprisonment after stating the distinction which
th6"
draws between officiaL_and non-official offenders, in favor of the latter, he gives a non-official offender four times the punishment he recently gave to an official offender, This seems to us a little remarkable, to say the least of it, and we do not think it will stand the test of reason or fairness.
"THE FEARLESS SECRETARY.'
The Chicago Tribune Publishes an Essay Upon Mules, Whisky, Mary Merritand Benjamin H. Bristow.
A Cliagre of Conspiracy Between the Democratic Committee of Congress and the Whisky Ring-.
Chicago, April 27,—The Tribune will say editorially to-morrow that there the strongest evidence of a combination having been effected between the whisky ring and the Democratic investigators at Washington, for the purpose of blackening the name of Bristow before the people. The motives of one party to this plot are revenge and hate, and of the other ambition for power and the possession of office. A series of attacks backed up by perjury, has been arranged and may be expected. This was tacitly admitted by Mr. Cole lately, who requested to state at whose instance he pressed the Mary Merrit case. It is evidenced by the attempt to revive the mule slander, and by the misrepresentation of a ststement falsely attributed to
Suit, the Kentucky distiller. There are other more convincing proofs of the truth of this charge. Bristow's premature exposure of the conspiracy will, if the programme proceed, be followed by a more circumstanial exposure ot the facts presented in all the. hideousness which characterized the exposure of the Washington safe burglary. There will be a full showing, unless the .scheme be abandoned, of the infamous plot ever conceived to break down honesty and rob merit of its own. The Tribune predicts the most complete overthrow of the vile combination of conspirators against the fearless secretary of the treas ury, and that a rebuke will be administer ed'to them at the Cincinnati convention
