PARSON" BROWXLOW is credited with a desire to ^et back to Congress.

A ST. LOLIS Judge only sentenced a negro, who had killed his wife with a a club, to the penitentiary for ninety-nine vears. He might .is well have, made a Centennial job of it while he had the chance.

Tin: Detroit Post appropos of the needier Moulton trouble makes the following sensible suggestion. ''Frank Moulton savs that cither he ought to be in the Penitentiary or Beeeher ought to be out of his pulpit. There is no getting around that. But Mr. Beecher's failure to do his duty is no excuse for Moulton neglecting his. Let him go to the Penitentiary."

MORTON'S explanation, the substance of which was printed in our dispatches of yesterday, is more than satisfactory. Oliver's war record is a source of pride to the whole Slate of Indiana. Of all the war Governors he was most energetic and efficient. It is, indeed, a question whether the preservation of our Union is not due to his exertions. The GAZETTE does not approve of Morton's career in the senate, nor does it agree with his political principles, but it is a sincere and ardent admirer of the war governor who gave to the state an enviable reputation for loyalty and courage, during the dark davs of the rebellion. We remember to have heard in Massachusetts a eulogy pronounced upon Governor John A. Andrews shortly after his death, by a distinguished orator of that State. lie found it a complimentary thing to say ot his dead friend that he would rank with Morton in his reputation as Governor,and stated that he had once heard a Massachusetts soldier say that he knew the first names of but two Governors, and they were John A. Andrews and Oliver P.

Morton. The less said against Morton's war record, the better for all parties, and especially for those who hope to injure him. Ilis labors then are a source of increasing pride and gratification to the citizens of Indiana, irrespective of present party a'Tilint^ons.

SCANDALS IN POLITICS.

Under the above title the New ork llerald of yesterday gives utterance to some sound opinions. Without question we as a people have carried the spirit of bickering accusation too far. Our politics have become scandalized and decencv outraged. The remarks of the Herald on this subject are so pertinent that we reproduce them here. It says:

The eagerness with which the Republican candidates for the Presidency are striving to cut each others throats in this preliminary canvass lor the Presidency, suggests some reflections that may uot be inopportune. What is the Republican party to gain by demonstrating that all its leaders are scamps? It can be shown for instance, that Blaine has been as bad as Colfax in the bond business that he shared in the plunder of the Treasury by the Pacific railways that Conkling was engaged in the Emma mine that Morton was robbing the treasury of Indiana at the time when he thought he wras saving the honor of that noble State that Bristow is a vulgar and thieving claim agent, who has used his place to run jobs through the Treasurv—what is the inference, so far as the partv is concerned? Namely, that it is altogether corrupt that the tree from which such fruits can spring is a upas tree, and that it should be cut down as one that cumbereth the ground.

We have always felt that corruption and jobbery are not characteristic of any partv that there are good and bad men in every party, and that jobbery in Washington is a matter of men and not of political organizations. In support of this view it has been seen in every investigation that the disclosures affected Democrats and Republicans alike. In the Credit Mobilier matter the House involved one Democrat and one Republican. The Belknap business has thus far brought down one Republican secretary of war and one Democratic candidate for presidency—Mr. Pendleton. The Washington ring investigation has discovered two Democrats in the gang—Eldridge, of Wisconsin, and Young, ot Georgia. In fact, there has not been an inquiry which has not involved both parties. This is natural so long as human nature is what it is. Men do not steal because they accept the teachings of Jefferson, nor are thev honest because they follow the flag of Lincoln.

The charges against Blaine, Morton and BristoWare the unpleasantest features of the canvass. We have studied these charges carefully, and we are surprised that any of them should have a moment's consideration. Mr. Bristow seems to have done his duty in every case where his honor is now impugned. Mr. Morton, so far from deserving censure for his actiou as Governor of Indiana, where he held the State true to the Union in spite of a copperhead majority which had determined upon stopping all war supplies. deserves lasting renown. This action will be remembered to his honor as one of the brave deeds of the war long after the burning questions of this hour are forgotten. To investigate that would do the democrats about as much good as if they were to investigate the battle of Gettysburg and the capture of Richmond. So far as the charges against Mr. Blaine are concerned, we do not see the shadow of evidence upon which to convict him of any dereliction of duty. One man savs to another that he heard a third man sav that certain bonds were given to Mr. Blaine to buy his influence as Speaker and member of Congress. If evidence like this is to be cntertanied when the honor of our statesmen is involved there is not a reputation in the country that is safe.

Mr. Morton, Mr. Bristow and Mr. Blaine arc gentlemen who'beloRg to the history of the time, men in whose genius and achievements wc should all take pride. We may have our own opiniens as to their fitness for high place we may think that Morton is too desperate in his views of many questions to be trusted in the White House Vve may think that Bristow is too young and too inconsiderate lor the duties of this supreme office we may feel that Blaine is too much of a trimmer and a politician but this does not justify us assuming as a consequence that they ai all cor

bad, wicked men, who use their otflees for personal gain who are \ulgar jobbers who have forfeited the confidence of the people, and who should.be ii^ jail.. Let us take some things for granted in dealing with our pnblic officers, among them .this, that when men at

tain the eminence of Morton, Bristow and Blaine thev are not as a general thing corrupt. Until corruption is proven incontestablv let us at least give them the benefit of their services and their fame.

CONVENTIONAL.

The New York Greenback Gang.

Oregon Republican Convention.

German Republicans at Cincinnati.

New York, May 3.—The Democratic Greenback state convention adopted resolutions declaring that the Democratic state convention recently held at Utica, misrepresented the sentiments of the trne Democracy of the state, in the financial plank of the platform, and by packing the convention for Tilden, opposing the nomination of Tilden, and advocating the selection of a western leader upon a western platform, endorsing the platform just laid down by the Democracy of Indiana, and asking the Democrats in congress not to adjourn until the house has passed and presented the senate bill repealing the specie resumption act.

Portland, Oregon, May 3.—The Republican State convention

#to-day

made

the following nominations: For Congress, Richard Williams Presidential electors W. II. O'dell, J. W. Watts, J. C. Cartwright and Judge R. 1'. Boise delegate to the national convention, J. C. Tolman.

Atlanta. Ga., May 3.—The Republican State convention met to-day, and after a permanent organization adjourned until to-morrow.

Detroit, Mich., May 3.—A State greenback convention was held at Jackson today. It was attended by about seventytwo delegates, of which M. W. Pield wras the most prominent. The convention elected twenty-two delegates to the na tional greenback convention, most of whom are local politicians of no particular influence, and after a few speeches the convention adjourned.

Washington, May 3.—The German Republican club, of this city, issued today an address to the German Radicals and Republicans of the Union, and to the German Free Press, for the call of a German Republican convention, to be held at Cincinnati, June the 10th, for the purpose of presenting and making known their wishes to the Republican nominating convention.

Pittsburg, May 3,—Judge Jeremiah S, Black has written a lettpr to the Post declining to be considered a candidate for the presidency.

St. Louis, May 3.—The committee on transportation for the National Democratic Convention have received replies from thirty railroads that they will make half-fare rates, not only to delegates to the convention, but to all persons in any way connected with the convention, and it is expected that at least all the main roads in the country will acquiesce in this arrangement. A full list of the roads agreeing to this reduction will be published as soon as the replies are all in.

MOULTON---BEECHER.

Present Position of the Case— Argument Before the GenerTermand Court of Appeals.

From the Brooklyn Eagle April 2!). The statement having been made that General Roger A. Pryor and Mr. Thomas G. Shearman had "agreed that, instead of appealing from Judge Dykman's order sustaining the demurrer in the suit of Francis D. Moulton against Henry Ward Beeeher, the order shall be amended so as peremptorily to give judgement for the defendant without lw®-fcr tl-io plaintiff* to amend his complaint, and that in this way a year would be gained, and a way opened for cither side to go directly to the court of* appeals, an Eagle reporter called on those gentlemen this morning, and obtained from them a statement of the present standing of the case. It was further stated that in making this agreement General Pryor was trying to gain time, but Mr, Shearman was preferring delay.

General Pryor said that it was the fact that an arrangement to expedite the issue had been arrived at between counsel, but it w-as not the fact that Mr. Shearman was seeking delay. "I^suggested the plan," said General Pryor, "in order to accelerate the final issue. Mr. Shearman promptly acceded to it, and has betrayed no disposition to retard the matter in any form." In consonance with the agreement Mr. Shearman lias entered judgment in the amount of .$47, the costs of the demurrer, in the Supreme Court, and the formal argument wrill be had before the general term at its ensuing session in Poughkeepsie. What ever the decision of that tribunal the case will be carried immediately to the Court of Appeals without the otherwise necessary circumlocution of coming back tothe special term, thence returning to the general term, and from thence to the .Court of Appeals. General Pryor offered to waive the argument before the general term term and submit printed points, but this Mr. Shearman was unwilling to accede to, and the argument will therefore take place. "Should the general term and court of appeals affirm the decision of Judge Dykman," said General Pryor, "that ends "the case. On the other hand, if the appellate courts reverse Judge Dykman's decision, the judgment now entered will be vacated, and the case tried on its own merits." In other words, the entire scandal will be revived.

Mr. Shearman stated that the arrangement entered into by himself and Gen. Pryor had been instituted by him in order to hasten matters. He had offered to waive all argument at general term,. but would not submit'the case on printed points alone. By the agreement several months' time would be saved, but hardly as much as had been stated. The final disposition of the case could not, he thought, be reached under a year at least. The general term would not hand down its decision probably before the September or October term, and then the case would have to take its place at the foot of the calendar of the court of appeals. It would not be a preferred case, and could not by any possibility be made such. PROFESSOR SMYTHE ESDEAVORIX3 TO

DISSUADE WITNESSES,

It is stated that during the past few days the Rev. Professor Smythe, of Andover, has been in Brooklyn endeavoring to dissuade witnesses from testifying before the Examining Commission provided for by the late Advisory Council. Among those named as visited are Mrs, Bradshaw and her husband and ittr. and Mrs. Richards. The former, it is said, gave assurances to Professor Smythe that in no event would they appear before the commission, bnt would cheerfully testify before the Andover Council.

A call was confidently looked forward to for an cxparte council from the Andover Church, within the ensuing fortnight, provided the opposition to Prof. Smythe and his party does not prove too strong. Three of the most prominent professors !n the seminary, those best known to the country at large, are arrayed against theitjellow professors, and the church is virtually, therefore, a house divided against itself. It is regarded as more titan probable that the Smythe party will'carrv tlie davT in which event the' "bottom facts'- of Mr. Bowen,.Mr. Moulton' Mrs Bradshaw .and Mr. Richards be divulged before a tnbural which tliey have "confidence,

FROM TIIE ST, I.OI'IS JOl'HNAl..

McKee's paid strikers are moving actively in the interest of the ex-Deacon. Mack is in Cincinnati buttonholing prom inent men, and begging them for God sake to do something. Another employee of the office is in Jefferson City engaged in the same business. In St. Louis the begging business is being carried on by one of McKee's attorneys, who,^ we are informed, is importuning prominent attorneys for their statement to the effect that McKee would not have been Convicted if he had been tried in the State courts.

As far as heard from these desperate efforts are not successful to auv alarming extent. People hesitate to place themselves on record as asking clemency for a man who, with no earthly excuse, deliberatelv made up his mind to rob the Government. Thev remember that he not onlv became a thief deliberately and voluntarily, but that he seduced others who trusted him into an organized conspiracy to defraud the revenue. Through his political influence and the power of his paper he corrupted one official after another, until he had formed a ring which lie believed was "stronger ban the Government." 1 laving secured the co-operation of certain officials, he persuaded them to such arbitrary and il legal measures as forced rectifiers and distillers to pay tribute to the ring or retire from business. Ulrici, for instance, resisted for nearly a year, fighting the ring officials to the best of his ability, and onlv yielding when he was on the brink of ruin from their unfair discrimination against honest dealers. The case of Peter Curran was similar. These cases are not isolated, but are fair samples of the work of coercing business men into rascality, deliberately and persistently carried on by McKee" and his confederates. jovce, villain as he is, would have been comparatively harmless without the backing of McKee. McDonald, hardened sinner as he is, would never have dared to commit the crimes he was guilty of if he had not fallen under the baneful influence of McKee, who convinced him that the Globe could protect revenue thieves from prosecution and punishment. These two men, McDonald, the ranking revenue officer in this district, and Joyce, his confidential agent, being countenanced in rascality by McKee, seduced their subordinate "officials into criminal practices which have ended in their ruin, Fitzrov, Shrope, Everest, Ray, Howard, McFall, Gunther, Leavenworth, Jones and many others are to-bay in the hands of the law, and Finlev Rob", John Leavenworth and Thomas are in their graves, simply because McKee

satisfied

Joyce and McDon

ald that the Government could be plundered with impunity. The memory of Charles W. Ford has been blackened because of McKee's association with him. It is believed by all who understand the true inwarkness of the matter that Ford never received a dollar of the portion set aside for him, but that the two-fifths handed by Megrue to John Leavenworth, addressed to MeKee and l'ord, were. in fact, paid by Lea\ enworth to McKee and by him retained. Con Maguirc is to-day in tribulation because of his intimacy with McKee._ It has never been charged that he recen cd one cent of the money stolen from the goveinmeni during the time he was collector. He simply had faith in McKee and was by him persuaded to trust McDonald and Joyce, who were thus enabled to carry on their corrupt -practices without detection. If Maguire had not trusted McKee, he would have watched Joyce, McDonald, Fitzroy arid others the ring who surrounded him.

The truth is, McKce is just what the Journal has designated him from the beginning of the whisky war, the "Head Devil" of the ring, and should be published not only for his own sins, but for the sins of those who were seduced by him into crookedness. In addition to his other rascalities, the course of his paper the Globe-Democrat, since the expose of May last, has been such as to call down Upon Tillll "tilt tondemnfrtion of-xill lionnKt men. No content to defend the ring against the Government,- that paper has gone out of its way to attack, to malign, to ridicule, and, if possible, to morally assassinate those who have done their duty as officers or citizens in expos ing and punishing crime. McKee, a the principal power, is responsible for this conpuct of the Globe-Democrat, and he, in this alone, forfeited all right to the sympathy of the citizens. The honest people of St. Louis, of Cincinnati, of Jefferson and of other cities which may be visitedjby his strikers, should consider these facts. And further, thay should know that in placing themselves upon record as endorsing perhaps the greatest crimi nal of the age, they will not benefit Mc Kee. For the President will pardon

REGAL GEMS.

A Description of the Four Largest Diamonds at Present in Europe. 1. The Orloft"of Amsterdam 1943-4 carats latest price, 450,000 rubles.

Cut in the old rhomboid shape. Forms the extremity of the Russian sceptre. It came from the old mines of India, and is said to have once formed the eyes of the celebrated, statue of Sherigan in the temple of Brahma. At a later period it was found with another large diamond in the throne of the Shah Nadir of Persia. When he was murdered it was taken by a French grenadier who had taken service there, and who fled with it to Malabar, and sold it there to a ship captain for 14,000 thalers, and he handed it over to a Jew for 84,000 thalers. The Jew sold it a greatly advanced price to the Armenian merchant Schairas, from whom the Empress Catharinie II. obtained it in

at Amsterdam, for 450,-

000 rubles, an annuity of

2,000

rubles and

a diploma of nobility. 2. The Regent or Pitt 136^4 carats perfect diamond value 1,300,000 thalers.

Among the French crown jewels. It came from the mines of Parteal, twenty miles from Mazulipatam (Golconda, East Indies,) where it was found in 1702 by a slave, who, in order to conceal it wounded himseli in the leg and hid it under the bandage. He promised the stone to a sailor if he would procure him his liberty. The sailor enticed him on board his ship, took the stone, drowned the slave, sold the diamond to the Governor of Fort St. George (whose name was Pitt) for £1,000 sterling, squandered the money and hanged himself. It was purchased from Pitt in 1717 by the then Regent of France, the Duke of Orleans, for Louis XV., its price being 3,375,000 francs. It weighed at that time 410 carats, and was atterward cut and polished in perfect diamond form, by which, however it lost two-thirds of its size. This operation took almost two years and cost 27,000 thalers. As much as 9,000 thalers were expended in diamond dust, and the pieces broken off still had a value of 48,000 thalers. In 1792 it was stolen, together with all the crown diamonds, at the plundering of the Tuileries, and was lost sight of until, in an anonymous letter to the Minister of Pplice at Paris, the place of its concealment in the Champs Elysees was accurately descrihed. It was actually found there, together with the rest of the most valuable crown jewels. (Probably the theif had become convinced that it was. dangerous for him to sell jewels of such value.) The Republic then pawned it to the merchant Trescow in Berlin. After its redemption it adorned the sword of

Its history is lost in the. darkness of -In-: ldan tradition, and can bg^traced -with'

certainty only since the begiiinii'ig of the fourteenth century. ft was for hundreds of j-ears tlie crown jewel of the Radchas of Malwa, and was rightfully regarded as a talisman of sovereignty, because it was always the booty of the strongest conqueror. In this manner, after it had repeatedly changed owners, in 1813 it came into the possession of the ruler of Lahore, where it was captured bv the English in 1850, at the rebellion of the Sikh troops, and presented to Queen Victoria. It weighed at that time 1S7 1-1^ carats, but it had been so awkwardlv cutseveral hundred years before, by the Venetian lapidary, llortensio Borgio—that it produced little eft'ect. (Exhibited in London in 1S51.) Queen Victoria had it newly cut by Ilerr Vorsanger, the most skillful workman in the celebrated dianiand cutting establishment of Ilerr Coster. iit Amsterdam. The work was completed in 1S52, in thirty-eight days. -|, Florentine ofTuscan

I47°.

It was found by a Swiss on the public road in a casket, in which there also lay a costly pearl. At first the man scornfully threw away the diamond, but then picked it up again, and sold it for a florin to a clergyman, and he sold it for three francs to the Bernese. Here it was purchased for 5,000 florins by the wealthy merchant prince Bartholomew May. Then a {J.-noese purchased it for a little more, anil sold it for double the price to Ludovico Moro Sforzo, the regent to Milan. Pope Julius II. procured it at auction for 20,000 ducats. It is now in the Imperial treasurv at Vienna.— Translated from the German of Dr. Theodore Schuchardt.

Centennial Speculations. Cincinnati, May 3.—The Cincinnati branch of the Women's Centennial committee, report that they have arranged with a well known musical publisher of this city by which they will be pecuniarily benefited through the sales of copies of Wagner's grand march, to be performed at tlie opening of the Centennial. They also report the receipts of $1,400 from the sales of Martha Washington fans, which they have patented, and increased arrangements for their sale during the summer. The proceeds of* their sales will be used to liquidate the expenses incurred in the erection of their buildings at the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia.

John Chinaman.

San Francisco, May 3.—C. P. O'Neil, policeman, yesterday testified before the Senate commission to investigate the Chinese question, now sitting in Sacramento, that he had been witness to the sale of a Chinese woman lor $450. The woman soon after committed suicide, not liking the man to whom she was sold, He also stated that he had been informed by Chinese that they attended the mission schools solely to learn "English, and laughed at the idea of becoming Christians.

Ah Dan, Chinese interpreter, testified that two Chinese interpreters had been killed in Sactrmento for their services in court in procuring convictions, and that a reward was outstanding for his life. He has seen similar notices posted in San Francisco. Such notices contain the agreement to employ counsel to defend the murderer if arrested, recompense him if imprisoned, and send money to his relatives in China if executed. His testimony concerning the Chinese companies was similar to that heretofore published.
