P\UL, WED vE 1DAY MAY 1. 1878. It see 113 that to be qualified for a federal judgship one must bo a "bummer," "dead b^at," and "habitaal drunkard." Vide re marks of the Republican press upon McLin, trice named for judga by ex-Governor Hayes. GEN. LSSH is piovided for at last. It has been a long and weary load from the cbair roansbip of the Republican county commit tee to the post office, but ho ha3 lived to see the happy Dny. We congratulate both the po^t office derailment rn tho General. "Mai shall Count Von Moltke, the well Luovn Gornvm srtalegist," is the phrase trod in yesterday morning's dispatches by the mlolligent London agent of tho associ ated press. Ir this blight mortal had to rppnlt of Shakespeaie, he would call him the 'jll-Lnown English diamatist. Tni: qupstion for the Republicans out side of Hennepin and Ramsey counties to cotibiJer, whether one-thud shall rule twe thuds. The outside counts can control the nominee for Congiess if they will. Thoy may not be able to agiee upon an oui biclo man, but they can ceitainly select a ru who, if he happens to live in St. Paul or Minneapolis, will feel under obligation to jho outsideis for suppoit. The true plan Jor the outsiders is to lesolve that in no ent will they support either Stewart or Tv'ashbum, leaving the question of selection to be agreed upon as events may develop. Thus they will secuie their man. SPEAKER Randall did well yesteiday when plainly accused the Republicans of band ing together to defeat cveiy attempt of the emocrat to cut down the expenses of the ^ovCi'nment. The Republican game is not one that can bo concealed. The levenuea of tho government have fallen off in a very important degiee, and unless the expenses pre cat down taxation must be incieased. Tho Republicans in Congress are unpatriotic enough to endeavor to compel the Democrats 11 resoit to such increased taxation in order at Republican orators and newspapeis trty have Homething to howl over. It is our liumblo opinion that the Republicans are paying with a boomerang, and that they V?ill get their own bends hurt. Wc leam vvitu bun I.JJO tuat mere is likely to be an effoit to piovent the re-nomination cf Aid. Thomas Grace in tho Third Ward to-uay. No moie faithful and honest official ever tat in tho council, and his retirement would bo a calamity. The only opposition to Aid. Grace is upon the question of chief engineer of the Fire Department. Some paities are candidates for that position who aie wholly unfit for the place. They know that they cannot hope for aid and comfort from Mr. Giace, and hence they wish to de feat his nomination. Eveiy resident of the first district of the Thiid Ward who has the mteiest of the city at heait should rco that Mr. Grace is retained. 2 IIE CURT II& RISES AQAIX. To-da-v is the appointed time for the open ing of the universal exposition in Paris. However trite such reflections may appear, one cannot he'p letting the mind revert to' the first days of the exposition in 18G7, and comparing th? circumstances of the two oc casions. Then the doors of the exhibition weie thrown open amid a blaze of mon tuohial gloiy. Fiance was at the zenith of her splendor. Ker word was the arbiter of the fate of nations. Her Emperor was the man to whom, in every crisis of impoit, the eyes of all Europe were turned. Nearly e^ery crowned head in Europe and many from othpr quarters of the globe gath ered to celebiate the gieat event and testify their appreciation of the enoimcus produc tive resources of France and the wisdom and power of her mlei. Such a gatheiing of po tentates had never before been known. Such pomp and ceremony, such leviewing of ar mies, such gorgeous fetes, had never been witnessed by such countless thousands of representatives of eveiy nation in the world. But beneath all this surface glitter and glaie there was a mats of ugliness and de formity. The splendor was that of the thea tergaudy and attractive to the casual glance, but to the close observer, or to those behind the scsnes, merely a tissue of deceit intended to betray the eyes of the ifpectatois. The cheers that everywhere gieetod the Emperor Napoleon III and his august visitors were .merely tho applause of a hired claque. The armies that marched to and fro on the Champ de Mara wore pietty uniforms, but their organization was a thing of gauze their ofncarj only knew how to appear at the head of their troops on gala days their commisariat and quartermaster's department weie merely combinations for the parposes of public plunder. Behind the Bailing faces of the populace, tickled for the moment with the display and the uproar, **%iJ) U. *J.XLi iMUaWttaafcli 1^* H4^JIWMUi|UU^U 1.1 surged hot passions of discontent and et hatred against the man who, fifteen yearn earlier, bad ordered the same populace to ba sabred, bayonetted end moved down with cannon. Greatly changed ia the outward as well AS the inward France of to-day. A season of chastisement and humiliation has been un dergone. The nation has been shorn of a largo expanse of its fairest teriitory. It has been forced to pay huge trib^-'o a foreign conqueror. Instead of vcicoming the mighty kings of the earth, France merely bns for its guests a few petty princelets. In place of imperial fetes, there are balls and receptions to which people above the ranks of the bourgohie have to be coaxed, almost driven. Frenchmen themselves have agreed in laughing at the expected poverty of the opening ceremonies of the exposition. Yet, who shall say that France, despite her defeats and cares, is not better off than in the days of the false magnifi cence of the Tuilleries? What she has, she has. No longer controlled by fear of the bayonet, she controls herself. Her states men have given proofs of sagacity that the past history of the country would not have led one to expect. Her people have shown a calm patience in adversity and a resolute intention not to be goaded into ill-advised action that are the more remarkable and ad mirable in that they are foreign to the im petuous nature of the race. Inspired and invigorated with combined feelings of self-dependence and mutual reliance, the people of France have attained height of prosperity infinitely surpassing that of the mo3t brilliaac diy3 of the em pire,surpassing it becauee founded on a stable and enduring basis, which is the good of the many and not of the chosen few The fruit may not be so smooth of cheek and so highly coloied, but under the rough russet skin theie is no devouring and con taminating worm secreted. We congratulate the French upon the cir cumstances in which they find themselves at the opening of the Republican exposition. XHE SHAMELESS APOSTATE KEY. Of all the dishonored men who compose the fraudulent President's cabinet, the most despicable is the renegade Democrat from Tennessee, Key. During the tour through the Eastern States, made by Hayes and his associates, soon after they had stolen their way into office, Key willingly consented to appear in the character of a "prodigal son," a "repentant sinner." He showed an unctuous delight'in being held up as an object of scornful pity, and took a visibly keen pleasure in offering himself as a butt for the weak witticisms of Hayes, Evarts, and others of the perambulating frauds. Since the exhibition he then made of himself, tho man Key has sunk into obscur ity. In order to secure his place as post master general, he had made a disgraceful bargain, by which he had agreed to turn over the entire control of postal affairs in the Northern States to the late Senator Morton's man, Tyler. Having thus denuded himself, first, of all claim to personal respect, and, second, of every vistige of authority and influence which might belong to his office, Key ceased to exist, as far as public remem brance was concerned. Men of Key's mould, however, never know when they are well off. They are un aware that oblivion is the greatest boon that can be conferred upon them. They must be forever poking and forcing themselves to the surface. In this way the brazen-facod Key once again comes to the front, and, as if determined to gain an infamy all his own, he tells over his disgraceful story with a sort of triumphant satisfaction. To a corres pondent who "interviewed" him on Sunday last, in relation to the Florida confessions, Key made this audacious declaration of his apostacy: "But, supposing they are true? What dif ference will it make? I have always believed that Florida and Louisiana 'Mere counted for Hayes wrongfully, and that the ele toral vote of both States should properly have been counted for Tilden. I worked stienunasly for Tilden both before and after the election, and, indeed, made a ppeech in the Senate during the electoral d.-bate, in which I argued as strongly as I knew how, that Florida and Louisiana be longed to Tilden. It wass after that that Mr. Hayes paid me the extraordinary compliment ot inviting me into his cabinet." I went into his cabinet a Democrat, believing that Tilden was elected, and my views on that subject are not yet changed. I believe Mr. Hayes, how ever, to be an honest man. I know that he honebtly thinks that he was elected, and what ever may have been the frauds practiced in the StateB above named, I have good reasons for knowing that Mr. Hayes was no party to them Therefore, no matter what may be the fu ture developments in the matter, they shall not influence my action. I will remain in the cabinet as long as Mr. Haves will be pleased to have me there." Comment on this blatant bid for con tumely is scarcely necessary. Nobody else can illustrate the depths of debasement into which Key has plunged as forcibly as doe3 Key himself. There is, however, one claim made by Key ti.at demands denial. He says: "I went into his (Hayes's) cabinet a Democrat." He did nothing of the kind. He went into the fraudulent cabinet a de graded being, unworthy of the name of Dem ocrat or even of Republican, an out-cast from all political companionship of any kind save that of his associate fraudsa self proclaimed receiver of stolen goodsthe only one of the thievish crew who could stand up unabashed and say in the face of the world, "Look at me! I know that this whole administration is a swindle that the claim of Hayes to office is a living lie that every day that Hayes and my fellows in the cabinet remain in offica we add to the lie and the swindle and yet I consider it an extraordinary compliment that I am invited to take part in the swindle, and will con tinue to swindle and lie just as long as I am permitted to do so by the good grace of the chief swindler, Hayesl" An Important Apology. [Burlington Hawkeye.J We feel that an apology is due the readers of the Hawkeye for the appearance of this column Sunday morning. The name 'Mary," in the first item, was spelled M-a r-y, and the word '"when," further down the column, was spelled h-e-n, with a small h. As these two were the only words in the entire column that were spelled correctly, we feel that some explanation is necessary7, these two mistakes were made by a new compositor, who hasn't been here long enough to learn the ways of the office. We have dismissed him and engaged anew proof reader, and can confidently assure our read ers they will never be annoyed by any more such glaring accuracies in this column. The We*tern Part of the District Want It. [Willmar Republican-Gazette.] St. Paul and Minneapolis papers are at log gerheads over their pet candidates for Congress from the third district.

The Elevated Railroad* Advancing to Com- pUtionBrilliant Easter Vlapluya. [Correspondence of the Globe.] N EW YOBS, April 21.The aotivity shown throughout the winter in building the ele vated railroad is not allowed to wane. In junctions upon injunctions were filed as ob structions in their pathways, but to no effect. The great corporations came out victorious in the courts, and left their opponents only the satisfaction of seeing their houses dark ened, the value of their property lowered, and their business imperiled. N where else but in New York would such robbery be permitted, but New Yorkers are a peculiar people, long suffering and kind. The voice of a few, living on the avenues and streets through which the roads pass, was dis regarded the mass of the people cried "rapid transit the Legislature said they should have it, and that was enough. What right had property owners to object to an ungainly structure being placed in front of their dwellings and stores when the public demanded that such a structure should be built in order that the even selfish public might reach their business and houtes by a more rapid method than that now in vogue. This was the argument of those whose interests lay elsewheie than on the projected lines. The robbery has been com mitted, however, in spite of all opposition, and the work on the roads has advanced so well that a five mite section of the Gilbert company will be in running order by the 15th of next month. This strictnre is by far the strongest in appearance of the two roads now being built but for a distance of three miles is supported in such a manner that accidents on the roadway below are sure to happen. The columns supporting this part of tLe road stand the middle of the street, while for the remainder of the way, they are placed at the edge of the bidewalk, a position not insuring such great strength perhaps, but more out of the way of street travel. The great question to be settled is, whether these roads will give the relief sft%ght for by the friends Of quick transit. Had tap promoters of the movement been wis9 taey would have followed the ex a nple of th8 London companies, and built underground railways. They claimed that this was not feasible in New York, but the late "Commodore" Vanderbilt has shown them to the contrary by constructing a four track tunnel, through four miles of a popu lous district, without interruption to a single train of the three great roads of which he is the headthe New York Central, the Harlem, and the New Haven. He committed one great error by not extending this tunnel the entire length, of the city, when rapid transit would have been virtually disposed of. It would not be surprising if Win. H. Vanderbilt should yet endeavor to do this, for the new roads will be in direct com petition with his line of horse-cars from the Grand Union depot to the post office, and will surely lessen its receipts to a great ex tent. There is no doubt that the suburban towns on Manhattan island will be greatly benefited by the increased facilities of travel, New Jersey not being able to offer any greater inducements as a place for resi dences. In the districts known as the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards of the city, but recently annexed, there are many pretty villages which only lacked steam railroad communication to the lower part of the city to make them desirable for homes for those of moderate means. Com munication having been established, it is expected a rapid growth of population will follow. This, in all probability, will be the case, for the combined advantage of city and country is too great an offer to be disregarded. Gas and croton water are fast taking the places of kerosene and wells, and for many, these are things not to be done without. If those in power are not blind to their own interests and those of their con stitu.nts, New York will still hold up its head as the Empire City, notwithstanding the great efforts being made to draw from it both population and mercantile supremacy. BASTES HOLIDAYS. The beautiful weather that it has been the lot of New Yorkers to enjoy for a week past, of couise gave full opportunity for the ladies to parade their new apparel and flower garden bonnets. Easter Sunday attractions crowd ed the churches to overflowing, drawing many occasional Christians thit'ier from curiosity to see the floral decorations and to hear the hallelujahs of prima donnas, with orchestral accompamements. So gi eat was the attendance at some of the more fashion able places of worship, that the pew owners and legular attendants were crowded out, and great was their righteous wrath thereat. These may be hard times, but a stranger visiting our churches on Sunday last, would certainly have thought to the contrary. Floral dis plays which must have cost thousands, gor geous new dresses overtopped by exquis itely rich and co3tly hats, met the e^e at every turn, and gave one the idea that it was incumbent on the devout to show outward as well as inward gladness on the celebra tion of such a memorable event. Certainly a finer array of handsome, smiling faces could not have been produced than that which presentbd itself on Fifth avenue atter morning service. In fact, every one seemed to inhale a spirit of gladness from the warm spring sunshine which not only filled their hearts with happiness, but which radiated from their facss in beams of peaceful joy. FOREIGN GRAIN MARKETS. Flattering Prospects, Growing Crops Markets Quiet, With no Pressing Demand and Prices Steady. LONDON, April 30.The Mark Lane Express says: The genezal tenor of agricultural reports is distinctly satisfactory, as legards the wheat and spring corn crops,. and it is very seldom that advices from the rural districts as to weather, work and crops record so few com plaints as at present. Business has been nec essarily restricted in Mark Lane owing to the Easter holidays. Supplies or English wheat have been light, and prices have under gone little or no change either in London or the Provinces, and a quiet, but steady, toi.e prevailed. With political affairs so settled, nolders of foreign wheat have been content to satisfy the retail demand. Exports for the past week amounted to only 2,500 quarters, against 9.UU0 to 15.800 respectively in the two preceeding weeks from which it may be Been that the requirements of the continent are, for the present, supplied. This important element ol strength being want ing, holders only had the ordinary consump tive wants of the country to fall back upon, which do not appear to be large, although there has bt en sufficient business to prevent prices receding to any quotable extent. Millera, gen erally speaking, hold fair stocks. America has furnished the bulk of the imports of wheat into London, which, however, have been quite mod erate with fair arrivals at ports of call. The floating cargo trade for wheat ruled firm, and prices advanced fully a shilling, appaiently owing to continued political uneasiness, but business was. restricted owing to holidays. Maize advanced six pence. Barley steady. Hard to Beat. [Martin Co. Sentinel.] The enterprise of the Daily GLOBE is becom ing a distinguishing feature of Minnesota journalism. Its alertness in obtaining inter views, through special correspondents, with Tilton and Beecher in the recent racket in their social affairs, is as startling to its contempo raries as it is gratifying to its readers.

The motion to diamisa the appeal aa to Mrs. Nash must be granted, because she was not a party to the action, or proceedings in which the order denying anew trial, which is the subject of the appeal, wo* made. This connection, with the proceedings in the district court, terminated upon the dismissal of her appeal from the probate court. She no longer remain ed a party, nor could she take any part in any future proceedings contesting the probate of the will, so long as the order of dismissal re mained in force. If that order was erroneous to her prejudice, her remedy was to secure a reinstatement of her appeal through a reversal of the order in some appropriate proceeding taken for that specific purpo e. As to toe appellant. Harvey Officer, guar dian, Ac although his notice of appeal was technically defective in not fully and specific ally stating in what capacity he was acting in prosecuting it, it nevertheless affirmatively appeals from the record that be had en duly appointed, as the guardian ad lltum, of the minor children in the litigation, and we think it sufficiently appears that he prosecuted it in the district court and took this appeal their behalf as such guardian, in pursuance of such appointment. The motion to dismiss as to him is therefore denied. Iu our judgment the findings of fact are ful ly supported by a clear prepoaderance of dence, and they amply justify the probate of the will. According to such findings the testa tor had the requisite testamentary capacity at the time the will was made and executed be appended his name thereto, ''with intent to execute it, and give it effect a* his last will and testament in the presence of two competent witnesses, who severally attested the same and subscribed their names thereto as witnesses, ID the presence of the testator and of each other," and the will itself, appears upon its face to have been regularly executed, attested and witnessed. The fact testified to, that his brother assisted him in holding the pen while be was affixing his signature, because of bis physical weakness, made it none the less his individual, conscious and voluntary act. It must also be assumed, from the findings, that the will was both attested and subscribed by each of the witnesses, in the conscious presence of the testator. Whether the attestation was formally re quested by the testator, or not, is immaterial, and need not be considered as under the statute. (Genl. St., ch. 47, sec. 5.) No request is required neither is it important to determine whether the testator actually said the subscribing witnesses subscribe their names as such, as it is quite clear, both from the evidence and the finding, that it was done in his immediate and conscious presence and that he could have seen it if he had felt so dis posed.

The Louisville Cowrier-Journal thus touches off a gentleman who is still waving the bloody shirt: In war Banks feeds the Confederates in peace he fights them. Rio Janeiro, the Brazilian capital, will socn have a permanent exposition building, in which at all times the wares of manufacturers in the United States will be shown and orders taken for the same.

Her husband bit off her nose, and the woman deliberately testified in court that she bit it off herself. Bets have been made in Paris that Lorraine will be French soil before Christmas. The story runs that Bismarck is to be invited to re turn Lorraine to France, and to "absorb" Hol land, and peihaps apart of Belgium.

The race in which they will engage on the Thames is the great English amateur race of the year, open to all comers and crafts, and takes place July 4. If there be anything in omens, the date is an auspicious one for the Americans, but. lhe investigation of the frauds in the build ing of the new custom house in Chicago has brought many startling details to he surface, but the climax is capped by the statement that the chimneys above the roof of the custom house have cost as much as the entire stone work on the two vast fronts of the splendid Tremont house. It is reported at Fort A. Lincoln that Gen. Miles will be put on recruiting service. Should this occur, sajs a Bismarck letter, "the Yellow stone boys and Stinking Water girls would abuse Uncle Sam worse than a horse thief." Now what have the girls been doing to the cor respondent to warrant his giving them such an ugly front name? There is every indication that Montreal will be a lively town on the 12th of July. Delega tions from Ontario are expected to take part in the Orange procession, and prominent Irish Catholics declare that if such intention is car lied out there will be a force of 80.000 Catholic Irishmen brought from the United states to op pose the Orangemen. The ''United States official Register" contains the name, office and salary of every government official. And how many names do you suppose there are? Eighty thousand and more! And each and every one holding his office by virtue of fraud. Eighty thousand respectable Ameri cans constructively guilty of the receipt of stolen goods! O'Leary's victory was partially due to his having India rubber aud leather alternately fixed on the heels of his boods, which materially counteracted the hardness of the track after it had become set, and he had an ample supply of the best made boots, whereas the other com petitors had ill-made boots and shoes, and very few had two pairs.

Martin Townseud, the jolly joker in Con gress, from the Troy, N. Y., district, has a weakness and a regard for dogs.

Lieut. C. C. De Rudio, of the 7th cavalry, has in press an autobiography. De Rudio was one of the four conspirators who tried to bombshell Emperor Napoleon to death in 1658. He was sentenced to death, but the empress saved him on account of his youth. In the Custer fight De Rudio was with Reno, and for nine hours was cut off by himself in the woods, only es caping by the skin of his teeth. The Russians are alleged to have a plan for setting the Bosphorus afire by pouring upon it a thousand tons of petroleum and igniting it. As it floated down with the current it would make the whole length and breadth of the nar rows a river of fire.

Thus the elephant devises brilliant schemes for the confounding of the whale. Gen. Ignatieff is a man of sagacity. This was his advice to thedaughter of the family in whose bouse he lived at San Stefano: "If you are wise, mademoiselle, you will have the room in which the peace was signed photographed, and sent to Europe for sale. You will realize in this way a coneideiable fortune and al though a pretty face has no doubt great value in the matrimonial market, it is not the less at tractive when backed up by goldep charms." In 1784 the law incorporating the Massachu setts bank provided that if any officer or ser vant embezzled or converted to his own use any of the effects of the bank, he should I set upon the gallows with a rope about his neck, or be set upon the pillory for the space of two hours, should forfeit all his personal estate and the issues of all hia real estate during life. He was also to be rendered infamous and incapable of sustaining any office, civil or military. A revival of this enactment might have a salutoiy effect in these times. A variety show in the high-toned Hub makes a ghastly use of a recent tragedy. It adver tises the "special engagement of Jennie Frank lin, the famous daring shot, and principal in the recent terrible catastrophe and innocent killing of a woman on the stage at Pawtucket." She does not now employ anybody to hold ob jects for her to shoot at: The Boston Herald says: "She made some very successful and ac curate shots at a target, but when she came to shoot by sighting in a mirror (the feat by which ahe killed Lottie Madly) her aim was not i good, aud she retired without splitting the ap ple, at which she fired several bullets." The Newell divorce case in New York has re sulted in nothing. Mrs. Newell, it will be re membered, sued for divorce on the ground of her husband's adultery with Miss Candace Olney, a well-known milliner. Newell charged his wife with illicit intercourse with the late Mr. Boardman. The jury appear to have thought that it was six of one and half a dozen of the other with the Newells. They agreed aa to Mrs. Newell's adultery with Boardman, and ten of them were convinced of improprieties between Newell and the Olney but the other two Btuck to it that Newell was innocent, and so there was no verdict. The parties are all well-known, although Mrs. Newell cornea 5=1? S MINNEAPOLIS NEWS 4pHnIljr RpnrtHl for the llnllr 01II Removal of Husinrss Office.
