Senator Wade Hamptjx.wüo has been re ported seriously ill, is now convalescent. Tamman y endorsed Cleveland and the new departure enthusiastic illy the other night. Governor Hoadly says positively tht he will not make another race for the Ohio Governorship- General Hazen's counsel assert -that Bab Lincoln "coined libel like a mint." This is rough on one of the high priests of radical ism. The Republican Legislature of Pennsylva nia has been in session more than ten weeks, and the members have hardly made a good 3tart yet. With the return of spring air andsun .shine the young and succulent Italian with his hand-organ and little "monk" has ap peared on the streets Let tie press and the pulpit now sbake hands with the mcej cordial clasp. Kcv. Georg? II. Hepworth has ben mads lead ing editor of the New Yorc Herald. Ir has come. A Blaine organ calls Mr. Cleveland's commendable efforts to rid him self and the people of the extravagances en tailed by loose Republican management as "cheese paring." Horrible thought! Wonder if Mr. Blaine didn't call on the President to ask him for an appointment. Pertaps he would lika a foreign mission. As Mr. Blaine is on the aggressive order, how would it do to send him to the Court of Ei Mahdi? Sirro-.E the organs let up on Colonel lloghes East for a day or two and urge upon our Republican city government the project of cleaning np the dirty, filthy streets of In dianapolis. They are disgraceful beyond anything in our history. The organs have been buzzing since the Ith like bine-bottle Hies. They criticise this appointment and that, augur ill from this circumstance and that. And yet President Cleveland's administration goes smoothly on over broad guage, steel rail and stone bal last, and the great engine does not appear to see the blue-bottle flies buzzing about it. CjcU they not find several rotten Republi can carcasses into which they could alight with more profit? The Journal, after refraining tbree whole days from its mean criticism of Dr. Bartlett, Washington, returned yesterday, like the 4 'dog to its vomit," and this time attacks his congregation. The great anxiety of our con temporary to regulate the earth, its customs and conduct, according to its puny standard, is very amusing to the disinterested spec tator. Neighbor, remember the fate of the fabelf d toad that attempted to inflate its skin to the dimensions of an ox. The President's sister seems to be contrib uting her share to the social pleasures of Washington life. A dispat:h eaya: ''Miss Cleveland has been receiving two hoars each day since she entered the Executive Man sion, and as she is an unusually agreeable talker, and has quick wit, many have sought the opportunity afforded by these "at homes" to make her acquaintance; for the Saturday hand shake and the speedy flight with brass buttons and a baton in the back ground aie hardly sufficient f'r such a re sult.", Wmilk in Wash.ngton we trust our dis tinguished contemporary, Colonel John C. New, will call on President Cleveland and wish him welL Now that Mr. Blaine has cooled down sufficiently to ask admittance to the White ilouse, we hope to see other Republicans follow fcuit and see the man whose motto is, "Tell the truth." And then may we ask that our distinguished contemporary will call his able staff together and counsel that hereafter, the Journal will, like Mr. Cleveland, look straight ahead, and thus cease to squint. TnF. Indiana Republicans, organs and or ganists, are evidently disconcerted over the dilemma they are in. With the organs op posing an extra session, the House organists, to a man, voted strenuously and continu ously to compel the extra session. With members haying voted solidly for it the Senatorsjare set up as haying virtuously op posed the extra session. Thus we have in dications of war between the two factions, and the Sentinel is debarred from saying, "Behold, how good a thing it is for brethren io dwell together in unity." Fight it oat between yourselves, gentlemen, and may the best man win. But, certain it Is, that one side er the ether ia in a ludicrous plight. And so is your party. After twelve days of administration it will be observed that the Democratic party is still intact and the Nation still at peacs and the colored citizen still free all in spile of the prophesies of the organs of the 2. o. p. It may be further observed that tbeie has been within these twelve days a wholesome growth cf indications of pros perity. What then may we not expect after l,4i! more days of Democratic rule? DOWN A SEWER. Mr. Cleveland was found in a sewer one?. It is a good story. Th9 Blaine organs should set it to music and play it some day when they are feeling tired and lonesome. The incident is related by a correspondent of the New York Sun, and he received it from a strong Republican from Buffalo, who at th? time Mr. Cleveland was Mayor of the city was carrying on some large operations which required him to get up early every morning and visit the Buffalo lake docks. A big sew er job was being carried on by the Alder men, which was involving the expenditure of a good deal of money, and just then an other appropriation was to be called for. It was beginning to make a noise in the city. The gentleman referred to drove one morn ing about daylight down toward the dock, when he caught sight of the Mayor near the unfinished eewer. He reined up h:3 horses and asked the Mayor what he was doing there. Mr. Cleveland was pretty will be smeared with mortar and mud, especially on his boota. He told Mr. that he had been looking thoroughly for himself Into this job, and that he regarded it as a swindle, and it should have no more money from the city treasury if he could prevent it. "And now," said the Buffalo Republican, "I am going home to vote for lum for Governor." Mr. Cleveland was at the time runningfor Governor of New York. This is the way, then, that Mr. Cleveland .was found in a sewer. We refer it to our esteemed coutora poraries of the Republican press. THE PATENT OFFICE. The Patent Office under Republicanism was managed as loosely as the other depart ments of the Government There are now 20,(00 casts awaiting consideration. The old Commissioner leaves a fine job to his Democratic successor. A correspondent of the New Y'ork World has been nosing around the Washington departments, and his experience is valuable and worth know ing. From him we get our information. In the consideration of the filling of the vacancy in the Patent Office Commissioner seme very interesting facts have been brought out. It has been brought to the at tention of the new Secretary that there are 20,000 cases hung up In the office awaiting action. These cases are practically so tied up that without a change in the system nothing can be done with them. Through a simple change an early decision in a majority cf the cases might be obtained. As a fee in each case is $10, a large sum of money would be at once savd to the Gov ernment. Under the old management of the Patent Office every obstacle has been placed in the way of securing pat9nts to inventors. Where applications have been rejected they have teen rejected in such technically worded decisions that no inventor without consulting with a skilled patent attorney and spending more money for farther exam ination, could tell wherein he was wrong and what was necessary to set him right. A great many inventors are too poor to do this, and become discouraged. The majority of the cases that are at present hurg up is said to be of the class just described. Those who are aiming at a reform in this office merely suggest that decisions in the future should be worded In simple language, go that any inventor could tell from the decision i ts?if what was needed to set him right. THE REPUBLICAN SPOILSMEN". The Republican organs are endeavoring to give the impression that the rush on Wash ington by the Democratic office-seekers is quite unprecedented. They are simply not posted or are making false statements know ingly, Lincoln and his Cabinet, it is said, were so bored and badgered that they hadly had time to eat and sleep, and Mr. Lincoln, oppressed with the feeling that the country was cn the verge of dissolution, tearfully ex claimed: ' I eeem to be sitting in one end of a great temple, importuned to let apart ments, while the temple is fiercely burning at the other end." It took the battle of Bull Run, with its train of disasters, to drive these hungry hordes of Northern Republicans out of Washington back to their homes. When they thought the rebels were advancing upon the city from the South this gang of office-beggars made a masterly advance due north, where there were none to molest or make them afraid. It was Re publican office-seekers that cost poor Gar field his life, and a Republican office-seeker' who committed the bloody deed. Grant was nearly worried to death by the same old crowd that nearly drove Mr. Lincoln into the Potomac or a lunatic asylum, and poor Hajes stood aghast when the crowd came who by lying, fraud, perjury and various kinds of rascality had finally forced him into the Presidency. Colonel McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, is goad authority on this point, and he says: "Any who can re call the Republican revolution of. lS"d must justly appreciate the exaggerated pictures drawn by discomfited organs. The rush for office now exhibited In Washingion does not approach the Republican rush fdi place in 1S01. Even when civil war was raging, the city, the departments and every available nook and corner of Washington were filled with the most importunate spoilsmen." The clamor at that time made by the Re publicans was unutterably disgraceful. If an officeholder was a Democrat he had to get j out p. d. q. Colonel McClnre concludes as follows: "Of the many more than 100,000 Ftderal placemen all are of one political faith, and most of them holding place as a reward for active partisan efforts. There are a few exceptions, but the Damccrats In Federal place in any community are like angels' visits, few and far between. Now they have triumphed over the party that has relentlessly proscribed them, and as Demo cratic and Republican human nature are about the tame in quality, the Democrats will clarccr for the spoils, but they must far surpass any demonstration of placemen yet rrade to equal the eruption of the importu nate placemen of 1SG1." THE DYING CHIEFTAIN. TLe heart of the Nation is at the bedside of General Grant, throbbing with sympathy fcr the sufferer. The attending physicians tell us that his end s near. The hand that wielded the sword that commanded th9 armies of the Union is nerveless. The stal wart frame that endured the march, the fight, heat and cold, beating rain and chill ing wind, is wasted and aweary. Tne voica that ordered hosts to the onset now calls tho name of a child, beyond the ocean, whom he would see once more. Twenty years ego to-day, officers iu uniform, boot ed and spurred, waited upon him fcr commands; to day wife and dauh-tf-r constitute hi devoted staff and physi cians assume authority over him. A pris oner cf an incuarabie malady, the hero of Shikhand the Wilderness ij within itädeadly grasp, and no arm is strong enough to de liver him: the chitftain is dying. In this hour, when tho grim monster has claimed him, all differences between any of the living and the departing one are con signed to fcrgtfulness. Not a soldier of the South who confronted him, not a voter of the North who opposed him politically, bat would now extend an arm to avert tb.9 untimely fate which is befalling him. No "longer the warring leader, no longer the political candidate, no longer tha partisan, he is one of the great brother hood cf man. If he had faults they parted from recollection with the coming of the tidings of his approaching end. We now see only the military chieftain under whose leadership the Union was saved, the ex Chief Magistrate of the Nation, the illustri ous citizen. The anxious watch of the loving over the conch of tho fated ons will be kept also from ocean to ocean and from the lake3 to the gulf. The tears they shed the Nation feels and responds with the sentiment illustrated in the line One touch ol nature makes the whole world kin. There is probably trouble ahead for Bobby Lincoln. A Washington special says: "The Swaiin matter will not be allowed to sleep. Iiis friends will, at the next session ol Congress, call for an investigation as to the manner in which the Secretary of War spent so much money to try the case. They will ask for au itemized ac rount. This, when furnished, I ara 6ure, will show Mr. Lincoln up in a very bad light. I don't mean to impute any wron? doing on the part of the late Secretary, tut it is my opinion taat he s-pert a great deal of money In securing so-callel evidence which he should not have spent." "Will General rfwaim'a friends endeavor to have him reinstated by the rrcsiclent?" "The Prcsldent.will probably be asked to remit certain parts of the sentence, as was done by Mr. Hayes in the cafe of Fitz John Porter. That part r.f the" sentence which disqualified General i'orter from holding oflice was remitted." Mr. Conant, the missing managing editor ol Harper's Weekly, as announced a few days ago, was seen in Florida by a friend. This friend, a Mr. Thrall, a New York jew eler, is the gentleman who claims to have seen him. He fays: I havo known Mr. Conant four or Sve years, and I have seen him frequently in that time. When I first paw him In Jacksonville ho wore a business pack coat of a brown etutf. with little specks in It. He had a small gold curb chain similar to tne one he wore in New York, and from it hung a Masonic charm. It was a new one, and nad two eagles on it. lie was a Mason, and 1 have seen him many times in different lodges. Two weeks before he disappeared I met him in the United States Ho tel, tpoke to him. and talked with nira a few min utes. About a week earlier I met him in the el evated station at Fulton street. We nodlcd and passed on. An international money-order rate i3 now in operation. The tariff adopted runs an follows: On orders not exceeding 810. 13 centä. Over f 10 and not exceeding 20, 30 cent?.

The Commercial Gazette's Sunday special from Washington, in referring to a matter o! the day "before, says: A little incident occurred to-day at the Interior Department which illustrates the anxiety of the cattle interests as represented here. Messrs. Clarke Htd Weaver were just retiring from their inter view with Secretary Lamar, when they met Sena tor Ingalls at the door. localis and Weaver shook hands very cordially, when Mr. Insalls remarked: "How if Oklahoma? Struck a htump tnis moru ius. didn't you?'' General Weaver replied: "It seems to no two Btumpf were struck, and your sida struck one of them. ' A Sad A flair. New York, March 15.

It Begins to Look as If the Engineers, Firemen and ltrateemen Will Join the Strikers. Et. Locis, March 13. A special dispath from S'dilia says tbe Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers held a long secret session there yesterday afternoon, but the precise uature of the proceedings is not known. It is asserted, however, that after the session adjourned Mr. Fitzgerald, Chairman of the Grievence Committee cf the Brotherhood, telegraphed the members of the Executive Committee of tho Brotherhood, at St. Louis, Little Heck, Atchison, Parsons. San Antonio, Fort Worth, Palestine, Marshall, Denison, Big Springs and otner points on the Gould sjstem, to meet at the Laclede Hotel, St. Louis, to-morrow (Monday) for conference. Mr. Arthur, Chiaf Engineer of the Brother hood, was also telegraphed. This action is regarded as an indication that unless the present trouble with the shop men is speed ily adjected the engineers will join them in a formal ruannpr. The brakamen and fire men also held a formal meeting, bat they kepttheirproceedings teeret. It is believed, however, they have matured plans to co op erate with the engineers whenever the latter decide to take action. St. Lori?, March 13 Specials from differ ent points weEt and south state that the strikers received Vice President Heyps" cir cular very coldly. Meetings were held at various places to-night, but so lar hs reported no definite action wis takou. Tee men will meet acaia to-morrow and determine what tcey will do.

The fdrikers ure watch mg all trains coming here in order to pre vent the importation of men. Kassas City,3io., March 15. The Missouri Pacific strikers here will await orders from the General Committee before returning to work.

Scudaj's Conference Itesults Favorably to the Strikers. St. Louis, March lö. The conference ap pointed to be hold here to-day between lead ing oHicials of the Missouri Pacifio Railway Company and Governors and other represen tatives of the States of Missouri and Kan sas, cn the sabject of the strike existing on that company's lines, took place this after noon.

Subsequently ice President Hayes issued a circular which has been fent to tne omcers and agents of the company at all affected points, and which teljs the whole story as follows: CIRCULAR, The following suggestions have been pre sented to the undersigned as a solution of the difficulties at present impeding the opera tions or these railroads.

Adrian's Wandering Mayor Kelata Experience In Exile. ills Adf.ian, Mich., March 15. The Sheriff's office at the County Jail has been crowded almost continually since the arrival ( Thomas J. Navin with people drawn there by friendship or curiosity to see the long xnhsing 'Kid Mayor." The meeting with his kinsfolk last night was very touching. Navin has occupied one of the upoer apart menta of the jail, where he is comfortably provided for, and seems to oe in an easy and contented frame of mind. He tells this story of his wanderings: "It was the afternoon of Thursday, Febru ary 0, ls, when I left Adrian. I received a dispatch from D. A. Easton, a New York broker, saying that parties were UlegraDh mg tbat Adrian water bonds were not regu larly issued. I telephoned Ralph Jewell; he came; I went to Howard Svckels, told him to give me a good horse, and Ralph and I drove away. On the road to Sand Creek I told Ralph all about it. At Sand Creek I took the train and went to St. Louia, and right through to Maricopa. Ariz.; from there I went to Ph önix,-Arir, by stag. I Etaid one dar at Phcvnlx rnd went to l'ras cott, whi re 1 remained a short time tryin? to make an opening in the law; but a? the Graphic containics my picture bepaa to circa;ate I was oblizad ta lear .

The mine was in good shape to par when a barber n&ied Victor Smith, whetn I had known in Petrou, cams to Maratlan. He gave informr.tion of my antecedents. The owner of the adjoining mine showed me a bogus dispatch faying oilicers were after me. and I was net slow to 'ssip. February, 13, 1 left, going to 'Frisco, thenc to Paget Bound to practice law. After visiting " coma, Ecatle, and other places, I located at Whatcom in May. 13. The following Au gust I removed to Port Townsend, where I remained until the L'Oth of last month. I went to 'Frisco and New Orleans cn my way home for f conomy's safte. I am extensively interested in iron mines in Washington Ter ritory. The San F;ancisco Chief telegraphed the New Orlf &nr oilicers abont me. in cluding the nii ruber cf my bsggage check.

I acknowledged nvy identity, when he said he would make a prisonr. A friend re tained coumeJ, nr.d arranged for me to set away on straw-bail Friday.

The Judiciary Com mittee cf the Massachusetts House gave a hearing Friday Ion a bill championed by Julius Co-sar Chappell, an intellegent colored member of the Bouse. Mr. Chappell'a bill rushes pnnishab'j) any discrimination on ac count of race tr color by rink, theater, amusement hall managers, etc. In the course of a spirited discussion one of the corumittte said: "It is often argued that skating rink'i are immoral places, and still you colored men seem anxious to visit them." 44 We do not care particularly about the skating rink?," said Mr. Chappell, turning to his questioner with sudden energy, "but it is the principle tbat underlies the whole thing we argue for. I tell yoa if a notice should be put upfover the gatea of hell that colored men would not be admitted we would try to entc-r because we have a right to. It is cn the principle of rights that "be long to us that via want this bill passed and public places thrown open." The questioning member of the committee subsided amid the applause that followed.
