Jons Kelley, of New York:, 19 named in connection with Collectorship of the Port of New Yori, Senator Willakd is in -Washington. He has filed his application for one of tie French consulates. General McClellan it is now rumored is boosed for the French mission, and ex Sen ator Pendleton for the Eagli3h. All but a few of the Washington pilgrims have reached home.

Theke will be a giant in the next House of Representatives. His name Is Richardson and he will represent a Tennessee district. He is almost seven fret high in his stocking?. A srMDEB of Republican papere of the country are publishing eulogies of. their j arty. As the end of the thing has passed we see no cause for objection. Let the stary of its life and death be told. Hon. JonN C. New is at the National Capi tol. It doubtless "looks like Cleveland" to cur good friend of the Journal in the places that once knew the g. o. p., but will know it henceforth no more forever. The Buffalo Times ia advocating the ap pointment of Hon. Daniel N. Lockwood ni Minister to France, He is a personal friend of the President, and it is Eald nominated him for Mayor, Governor and President. Huso by and thirsty men to the front, shrieks a Republican organ. We venture the opinion that it will not b9 long before the hungry and thirsty men will be found in the rear. The movement has been very satij- fictorily begun. Excuse our apparent levity. Vvs can't renres3 a jtnlla at the mention of John . Lamb for District Attorney. Journal. Don't repress the smile let it out. A t cod many people smiled when the present iccumbent worked into the oilice. If Mr. Lamb does not fill the position as creditably is Mr. Holstein he should go to work dig fcing wells or "braking" on a railroad. Botcn Kecord: Placard posted on the Washing ton departments by the Republican party ; : GOE OUT WILL BE BACK SOON. Tue foregoing reminds us of the doctor - ho told bis student to write on the slate, "Out for five minutes b nt I won't be back for an hour." Hon. JosEni S. Miller, of We3t Virginia, v ill probably be appointed Internal Rsvenue Ccmmissioner. Mr. Miller is a brother of Captain Frank Miller of this city. A Wash ington dispatch eays: "Miller was the Au ditor of State of West Virginia with the out going JaPkscn administration, and one cf the main figures in the bitter fight in that St te. He is a handsome gentleman ani perfectly competent for - the position hs aspires to.

Exchange. Yes; we have been all thron gh that same neck of woods. The Democracy nearly al ways win elections just after Presidential -campaigns and in the "off years." Let the Republicans have the "off years" for a while, and figure out big victories on paper from big defeats. Go right in, gentlemen, and amuse yourselves. Mr- Clxvelasd will go to the theater oc casionally, but he positively refuses to go as a dead head. It is coming. This man will break up all the sweet and comforting tra ditions of Republicanism. Referring to this matter a Washington special to the Phila delphia News says: "Among the pleasant little perquisites of the President, the free ute of boxes at the Washington Theater is one that they have more cr less availed themselves of. Grant was seen in this way at the the-ters often twice a week, and Hayes occasionally dropped in to see the comic operas that came here. Last week the managers of one of the theaters called on Mr. Cleveland and placed at his disposal a box for any night this week, when he should feel like going in for a little relax ation, extending the invitation to anybody he might chocae to bring with him. Mr. Cleveland said he would be pleased to visit his show and namei a night when he thought he would be able to do so, but positively declined to accept any favors in the way of boxes, and taid he should pay the regular box-effice prices. This is a new departure here, as Arthur, it is said, ac cepted a free box whenever ha went to the theater, following the custom laid down by hi3 prsdecefsors." SPOONER. Spooner is the name of a new Republican find in the United States Senate. Ha comes frcm Wiiconsin, and it eaid to be the oddest looking specimen of Republicanism thus far discoversd. Fr:ra a description given by a sharp observer, the suspicion is raised that Spooner might prove attractive in a Dime Mcseum, sic. He is rmall and weighs abcut 120 pounds. His head is grotesque in its smallness. His face is almost wizened in its thinness and sharpness of line. The lower part of his face ruus to a sharp point. His eyes are small and deeply sunk. His ncse is Eloping, thin and straight. His month is very large. His hair is a thick, sandy red, which is brushed up flippantly, as if with a stiff whisp-broom, from his right ear smooth into a solid bank of hair, which stands out at rieht angles frcm the left side of his head, completely coveilng the left ear. The hair open the tack cf his head is also brush d to this central point. He has tha appearance of having been oat in a very high gale of wind and of having bad his hair frozen "stiff when the wind was blowing at its highest gauge of ve locity. Involuntarily, as one looks at Spooner, he thinks of his windward and his leeward sides. Underneath his wildly blown mass of hair his naturally small face be comes so reduced through contrast that nothing but a photograph would make any one believe in the real absurdity of hisap pearance. Over this small face there steals whenever he is addressed the shrewd smirk of the village oracle. Yes, Spooner must be a daisy from all ac counts. His appearance in the Senate chambei of the United States is fally ac counted for wben we are informed tbat he possesses "a good rail road practice," and has eome reputa tion for skill and legal acquirements, and tbat he was sent from Wisconsin "by the railroad corporations who have employed him in tho part." When Spooner addresses the Senate the correspondents say that "he squares his legs and slips his hands into his trousers' pockets alter the fashion of the leader in the village gossip in the leading grocery etores of Hudson, Wis., his home. There have been before m the Senate insig nificant looking men, but never one who has approached Spooner in this regard. It is tho custom of the clerks and messengers about the Senate when they are in the Senate Chamber waiting for orders to drop into any cf the vacant seats that may hap pen to be in the back rows. Spooner's posi tion gives him the appearance of a maseri ger waiting to carry some bundle. There is not one of the messengers or clerks who dxs not lcok to be more of a man." Perhaps some of our esteemed contempo raries who are wont to sneeer whenever Pres ident Cleveland makes an appointment, might be induced to smile, perhaps, when they contemplate Spooner, the Republican Senator from Wif conein. "KATE" DISGUSTED. "Kate" Is the name of the female dyna miter who has been operating from Paris ard secluding herself there whenever it be came necessary. Her proper name is Mrs. Moran, and when O' Dono van Rossa was shot by Mrs. Dudley in New York recently it was rumored in Paris tbat she would come to America to avenge Rosia, whose death was at tbat time anticipated. "Kate" was in terviewed in Paris last Tuesday, and the in terviewer telegraphed the information he obtained from her to the New York Herald Wednesday morning. He describes her as a weman of about thirty, with delicate fea tures, worn and jadad by night vigils ard anxiety. She dresses rather showily. She is respectably connected. Her real came is Mrs. Moran. "How," asked the correspondent, "came yen to join the conspirators?" "My hus band," she replied, "an Irishman, was for merly a priest. He left me in Australia to enter a monastery, where he died three years ago. After some time I left Australia for Honolulu and New York with letters of in troduction from a Protestant Bishop. On my arrival in New York I was sworn in by Flacnery. One night at the house of an Irish woman from Mullingar I swore to do all that was required in blind obedience. On my asking whether I ehould have to shed blcod I was told that I might have to carry weapons but would never be ordered to do a man's work." She says that she has been very shabbily treated by her fellew-conspirators, and that sue, with others, has been left in Paris to shift for herself, without a cent of money- to meet her expanses. She seems to have lost all faith in the dynamite cure for Irish op pression. Being further pressed, "Kate'' said tbat she disapproved of O'Donovan Ros sa's bragging. She also thought it would be mere dignified to blow up barracks and ar senals than show p!ases like the Tower or the House of Parliament, "Nor am I the only one of us over here who thinks so," she said. "One reason which made me throw up po litical life," she added, "was that after bear ing the burden of the day I was allowed co voice in the management of affairs. I hoped wben I joined the Revolutionary party that I might recruit some other patri otic and desperate Irish women, whose kins men were imprisoned or 'martyred, But it was too much to expect them to risk their lives and liberty in carrying explosives about if only to be slighted by men as I was and treated as lervants. 1 believe the direc tory decided not to have any more female confederates." "Kate" left Paris for Lima soon after the interview with the correspondent. GRANT AND LEW WALLACE. General Lew Wallace, now our Minister to Tur key, feels keenly the criticism of- himself made by General Grant, in his article on the Battle of fcnilob, in the February Century, and will, upon Lis return home, which will be in a very short lime, prei are and publish in the Century aa ar ticle la which he will give a full and perfect his tory of the movements of his diviälon throughout the two days of battle. It will be thorough and cxl austive. Times. We think it fortunate that so many Gen erals,who were engaged in the late civil war, Ehould write their own history of the dif erent battles in which they took part, and publish it to the world while so many are yet alive who took a hand therein. In this way we may get at the truth connected with the movement of troops in each engage ment, and the cauie cf victory or defeat. to whom the credit is due for the one, or where the blame jnslly fcelonr s for the other. Thus will tha facts eventually leak out, even though it car the g!ory and detract from the luster of rrany a warrior's fair fame. If Generab Grant and Sherman will write their memoirs and give their side of the story, It is right ar d proper tbat the lesser lights should a'so rise up and explain when a misstatement bs been made tbat would cast a shadow upon their Ices brilliant records. Jost now, according to the Times, it is our distirgnif h?d Minister to Constantincple who feels called upon to refute some of the charges made by General Grant in his article in tho February Century. General Wallace proposes to reveal some facts not heretofore made public, and his hints indicate that he will tell some unpleasant truths about Gen eral Grant in connection with the battle cf Sbilch. There are cot a few veteran?, among them a well known General from Eastern Ohio, who aver that one of our most renowned soldiers and who is generally supposed to have taken an active part in that conflict, was really abeard a gunboat six or eight miles frcm the scene cf action, tco drunk to either take part in the fight or give any com mands during the first day's engagement. Whether this be true or false by all means, General Wallace, let us have your version of that battle. Let the present and fature gen erations have the truth, no matter who is injured thereby. The innovations being introduced into the White House and departments at Washing ton thus far are of a wholesome and improv ing character, and democratic simplicity is the order of the day. Following closely upon the heels cf the announcement of Pres ident Cleveland's early hours of rising, breakfasting and attending to business, comes the word tbat Secretary Bayard has ordered to be taken down the partition of piked bara which marks the division be tween the Navy and State Departments, in the new public building occupied jointly by them with the War Department. The em ployes in tho State Department, as well as their chiefs, I ave for years past considered themselves as standing upon a higher plane than their equals who occupied similar posi tions In other departments, and had them selves fenced off, as it were, from their neighbors to help maintain their snobbish excluslveness. Secretary Bayard, in thus brushing away this barrier, doe3 it with a view of removing the false idea of superior ity that went with it. All over this "lan 1 1 of the free and home of the brave" such indications of a healthy change from the aristocratic notions and ways at Washington will be hailed with joy. Soon nothing will be left for Republican papers to criticise or find fault with at the seat of government Jcst about the time that the Republican organs were rejoicing with exceeding great joy that the President was about to issue some sort of a "ukase" or proclamation or dering all the office seekers on the hunt for home, there comes a painful rnmor to the effect tbat Mr. Cleveland never contemplated such a fool proceeding for a moment. The hunt for office does not approach the wild and tcandalous movement made on the National capital by the Republicans in Jßl. Alls orts of disorderly proceedings were rife. Governor Morton and ex-Governor Porter had a regular monkey and parrot time over the Indianapolis Fosttfffice. Lincoln silt I with Morton, and the then Congressman Porter, it was reported at the time, got mad at the President and eailed home in high dudgeon "on his ear." Talk about the scramble for office and the Indiana factional fights of the Democracy. They are mere, bagatelles to the Repulican rows that began in 1SG1 and continued for almost fifteen years.

The only important appointment made by the new administration thus far is that of General Black, of Illinois, as head of the Pension Bureau. This places a gallant and very popular Union soldier between the Confederate Secretary of the Interior and the pensioners, and can not but prove a highly satisfactory appointment to those most nearly concerned. If we are not great ly mistaken, General Black will also do something satisfactory to those who pay the pensions by discovering and stopping the numerous leaks now existing in that de partment Detroit News (Ind). Tin: reported declaration of the President tbat he will appoint no non resident to an office in the Territories will cast a gloom over a large number of aspiring politicians. The appointment of non-residents to such oflicea W8s recognized as an abuse by the platforms of both parties. It requires some political courage for a President to enforce such a declaration, seeing that Territorial cilices have served as a means of inconspicu ously rylng political debts to unpresenta ble creditors. The con-resident Federal officeholder in a Territory is apt to have the defects of the class of carpet-baggers, chief among which is an absolute indifference as to the welfare of the Territory, It must be admitted, however, that the Territorial statesman who has grown up with the coun try is often quite as objectionable as the im ported officeholder couid be.

Civil An Enemy Sowing Republican Cockle Anion? the Wheat of Indiana Democracy. Statesmen Owe Mach to Newspapers Washington Aristocracy Made to Appear liidicnloas Kepablican Ottice-IIuUl-era Repentant and Fall of Adice Oar Sir. Carr Look ou Through Editorial U lasse. (Special ditorial Correspondence 1 Washington, March 10. Office -seekers are numerous but still a little shy, owing to Mr. Cleveland referring all applicants to the heads of departments, and suggesting due regard for the tenure of office act. ni3 civil service notions are thoroughly diseased, and there is not a little speculation as to what he rxay do. What the Democracy de sire of him, however, is patent to the world. If he expects to rrake his administration a blessing to the whole country he must imprint upon it the eeal of Democracy, and in all important matters there must be a right, about-face from Republican methods. This is what is expected by the masses, and this was the reason why they voted for his elec tion. To accomplish these things the Presi dent needs tbe support cf the great Demo cratic party. This in turn implies party or ganization, which by no means argues tbat the patronage be given to the other fellows. Reform to be complete demands that those in symrathy with reform be placed in offi cial position, and until this is done nothing worthy of the name can be accomplished. During the past week I enjoyed the pleasure of shaking the hands of more admirers of the Sentinel than I thought was possible to have assembled here at this time, They hail from all quarters of the Union and are of the kind for whom the Sentinel rooster is proud to crow. I gathered their views regarding the question upon which I am writing and they unanimously favor civil service methods within tbe party. They say that it is time to go outside for talent and ability when the home supply 13 exhausted, but not before. The advocacy and maintenance of a pjlicy presupposes these methods, and the opinion of the people i based upon the loic of tee fact. Mr. Cleveland's selection of his Cab inet was in keeping with this idea. He i'l cot go outside cf his party, cor would he have occasion to do to until he exhausted the home supply of greatness and statesman ship resident in the persons of such men as Senator Voorhees, ex-Senator McDonald, Judge Thurraan and others. In the lower grades of office, even to the simplest clerk ship, the same rule and principles should ap ply. The continued succe&s of the Demo cratic party, the consequent reform in the administration of the Government, and, in fact, the stability of our institutions, all de mand the adoption of such methods and the ebapingof a policy such as to accord with the genius cf Democracy. The situa tion at present makes this imperative, and tbe gnat majority tf the people will hail it as reform. Mr. Cleveland is perfectly conversant with tbe necessities of tbe case, and his tlownets to act out the notions of some people ia what leads many to misjudge him. At the proper time, and with that 11 miners and justice that, have characterized him in the past, ha will so order affairs as to give joy to all who wish well to our glorious country. He detests personal Government, wonld lessen Execu tive power, and to these ends he refers pre ferments to the heads of departments and as near as possible to the people. "an enemy hatii pone this." The political wheatfields of Indiana will (how a Jare growth of cockle in Democratic localities unless the over zealous friends of Mr. McDonald manifest better judgment and better Demccracy. If they love McDonald, so do we all. If they sorrow over his not having been called to a Cabinet position. Icdiasa respects that sorrow, if un feigLcd. But when a few, claim ing much power and professing real grief, charge the defeat of Mr. McDonald to the Vice President, they exceed proprieties and rely upon a wish that fathers a false hood. Such an act wonld be beneath Mr. Hendr'ck', and would not be in keeping with the perconal relations of the gentlemen in question. Mr. Hendricks is an honor to his State, and it has been the wish of all the pecple to honor him. He is honored with the second place in the gift of the people, and be has co further ambition. Where, then, is the ground for the charge that to serve his purpose he has consigned Mr. Mc Donald to the rear? Who, knowing him, would believe he would do this if he could? What man, seeing Mr. Cleveland as he now appears, would believe he would yield in such a case? This piece of political scandal must receive co sanction in Indiana It is the work of an enemy sowing cockle. It is inspired by the Republican press of the Slate, and the Democrats who peddle it around are misguided and over zealous, to say the least. Mr. McDonald does cot sacction it and can cot sanction it. His instincts as a gentleman and his loyalty as a Democrat preclude the possibility of his desiring such. Prominent Democrats from Other States would not dignify the story by eyen listening to it. They have a higher es timate of the leading men of Indiana, the banner Democratic Btate of the North, than to believe two of their cumber equal to such tetty jealousy. Mr. Cleveland selected his Cabinet to suit his judgment and choice, as he had a perfect right to do, and it is indi rect discourtesy to him to eyen imply, as in this case, tbat he was influenced by un worthy considerations, even in one instance. Away with this injurious falsehood, and let it be heard of co moreJJ THE EAST AND III E SOUTH are well represented, but they owe more to their newspapers than to the greatness of their men. The press is appreciated and well treated by these people, and its powcr is trade good use of. The phrase, "good ue of" I mean in the sense of effectiveness, for it is not good to misuse a power by exerting it to please inferior men in exalted positions. Many men are high in official station wh9, if citizens of Indiana, could not be elected to a county effice. To illustrate the method without at all disparaging the men, I might ask Low came New York to b8 entitled to two Cabinet positions? Whence came great neEs to the little State of Delaware? On inauguration day Randall ward dabs from Philadelphia were here with banners and regalia, practicing a sort of hero-wcrspip, possibly with the hero left out. This, too, I mention with no inten tention to reflect on Mr. Randall, but only to draw a contrast between sections as to the ways they cava for asserting their claims and getting recognition. In the above instances the presj and the power Ql organi- zationare brought into requisition, with tellies effect. In Indiana the reverse Is the practice with corresponding results, soma great men cf tbat State being exceptljns. No press or special organization backs the leading men of Indiana in their labors for fame and the credit of the State, but it U easv to start a sort of Kilkenny cat-fight at thesugestion of Republicans that Damo cratic leaders may do battle against one an other. The exceptions I refer to are in the case cf Senator Voorhees, who unaided by special organization, succeeds himself in the United States Senate, and in that of Mr. Hendricks, who by virtue cf his native powtrs, is now Vice President of the Uniud States. Senator Voorheoa, standing before a popular assemblage, has no superior as an orator. In ths benate Chamber you might ca:t about for an abler statesman and a more faithful public ser vant. He stands high upon tbe laideruf fame; the "God bless you" of his constitu ents is as a halo around his head, and his near future is resp!eadant with the bright fit possibilities. Mr. Hendricks, at present, as in the paat, is "Indiana's Favorite Son." Wfco will cay he is not deierving of honors and the cordial support of the people of his State? He is alive tn the de mands cf the hour and the Nation re gsrds him as a safe man. These men stand in part for the West, and it is not creditable to these in whoEe interest they specially la bor that home organizations and the press do not come unitedly to their aid, and. like tbe background in a picture, show forth the perfections of the foreground in the scene. P.ErCDLICAIf M55IES LErKXTANT. Daring the heat of the Presidential cm paign Republican officeholders were loud in their professions of readiness to resign should tbe Democratic party come into power. No resignations, with the exceprn of a few, have been received in eny of the dipartments. They cling to office with won derful tenacity not so much, perhaps, for love of the pay as to teet the President's lovo for Republicans, and for office holdicg for life. Those who would leave tbe country in caEe of a Democratic administration havo not gone yet. and those who would die rath er than vote for a Democratic President are still alive, and not a feu of them are load in their profession of belief that tbe chan-s is the best thing that could have oc carred for the entire country. After a little while there will be many others to occupy the mourner's bench and we will have more Democrats, by profession, than we will have any use for. Ducks go iu single file to the pond and observe aom regularity, but hungry and unprincipled politicians and official barnacles break for the winning side with irregular step ard precipitation. Self is predominent these days. Human nature in its poverty makes k sorry picture, and politics without prin ciple is held up to the execration of good it en. Repenting of political sins is very ccnimfadable, bnt while the glaring gailt is forgiven it muse be remembered that there T ninn a stain to caution against too much conlidence. It will not do to put a deserter onfuaid, because some such persons have tnir t J out to be spies and Greeks bearing glfli. THE AriNG ARISTOCRATS of Washington will be given a mild rebuke by the simplicity of Mr. Cleveland's life and ty his thorough American notions and practices. The apin of foreign court lile und the day dreams ot the young ladies to be allied to tilled nobility may be cured by his influence and particalatly by his frugal habits and quiet living. Washington is the seat of imported folly and fashion. Seas 31 accompanies tbe imports, and tbe people Hying here and following in the wake of a few SDObs are made the subject of loud, lon laughter. Political adventurers have swePed this crowd.
