POLITICAL vIcIsslrupEs.

A walk down Pennsylvania Avenue on any
fne morning, with the various objects OF inter-
est with which ono meets. leads to reflections
on the yicissiiudes of public life. The persons
to be met with few years ago arc gone and
their places are filled by men Of entirely diff
fcrent stamp. ToombsAnd slidell. DAVIS and
wigfall, Mason and Stephens, with their asso-
ciates, who controlled tho deliberations of the
Senate and filed every Office of honor and trust
within the gift Of the nation, are gone. and the
places that once knew them will know them no
more. In their stead others arc now conspicu-
Gus. Among them we notice the magnanimous
countenance of Harris Of New York, the well
known form of your own able Senator Fessen-
den of Maine. now chairman Of the Committee
ON Finance. Mt this time one Of the most import
ant committees OF the Senate. Also the good
natured phz Of John p. Hale, and the splendid
figure and elevated, intellectual features OF
Charles Sumner, eminent in this country and
in Europe as theeloquent and fearless advocate
of the Rights of Man in every form and in their
broadest extension. His name Is ever associ-
atcd with the magnificent effort in the Senate
in behalf Of Free Kansas, which has well been
called the grandcst pleading for humanity that
ever was heard from human lips. From the
bloody scene in the Senate of seven years ago,
when Republican members were dcspiscd mi
nority with no potent political influence with
"voice hushed to whisper. alas ! almost
afraid TO know itself, to the present power
full Republican Congress, with Charles Sumner
as one o. the leaders of the Senate and the spe-
cial friend and adviser Of the President. is u
change the magnitude Of which may we'll be n
subject for contemplation among those aspiring
politicians and reckless dcmagogues who con-
stituted the backbone Of the once powerful DEM
ocratic party, and should they find poetic IL
lustra,ion of the Scripture passage that "thc
way of transgressors is hard" by making tho
proper application. they will be enabled to
draw conclusions which may resist to their adj

A Reaction In Alabama.
New York, Jan. %

NEW YORK, Jan. rs.
The Cincinnati Commercial learns from two
gentlemen who escaped from Alabama. to avoid
the CONSUMPTION. that there is very decided
reaction In Alabama against the rebel leaders,
which is attributed to the wholesale imprlson-
,nent of persons and the seizure Of property
AS evidence of this, the fact Is stated that reso-
iutions introduced into the Alabama Lcgisla::
ture, endorsing secession, met with decided and
unexpected opposition. The anti-secession feel
ing Is more general and better developed in the
northern than In the southern part OF the State.
Men between the ages OF Is and IS, liable to be
impressed, are escaping from the Confederacy
or fleeing to the mountains or other hiding
places.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is, 1894.
PRESIDENT MAKING.

PRESIDENT NAkiNo.
The question who is to be the Union standard
bearer in the approaching Presidential cam
paign, is now the absorbing topic IN political
circles in Washington, and, as the nominee Of
the Union Republican convention which will
assemble during the coming season, Is eminent
ly certain to occupy the Executive chair Of the
nation for the period Of four years after the
presen. term has expired the heat aud bitter.
ness Of the contest will consist in deciding-no,
which of the candidates who may be nominated
by the different political parties shall be elect
ed, but who shall be the fortunate aspirant
who is to receive majority Of the votes of the
Uuion Convention. Politicians are "trosting
out" their favorite candidates and dilating up.
on their petty claims for popular favor. There
is scarcely man in the Senate, il is said, who
has not some hope Of being ''struck by light
ming" as. Old Abe once playfully remarked
when abiding to his own accidental elevation
TO the Presidency while many members of the
House are not exempt from tho prevalent NAL
ady Of president on the BRAIN" In convers-
ing with gentleman upon this subject, n few
days since, Old Abe mentioned the name OF an
obscure member from Ohio. remarking that
seven he had some pretensions to the hope OF
beng struck by lightning"
Whatever candidate may be the choice OF the
convention, will be unanimously supported by
the people;-whether it be the "mighty god Of
Creenbacks," the able and efficient Secretary OF
the Treasury, the uncompromsing champion
for a quarter of a century-while they were yet
unpopular-of the principles which rule to-day,
whether il may go to the banks Of the Missi'-
sippi and take the "hero of q hundred battles
who has covered the Federal arms with glory,
whose marches lead to victory, and whose eagles
never retreat.-or. still better, 1t may unite
with the overwhelming tide of popular feeling
and perform m net Of consummate justice rs
well as palpablc wisdom and take him, who for
three years of national distraction, peril and
disaster, without parallel in the worlds his
tory, has been tried in the balance and not
found wanting.
His enemies are compelled to admit that the
prudence, sagacity and frmness Of Mr.. Lincoln
have been the means Of averting calamity,
whether from politicians at home, or from the
Intervention of foreign powers, which too often
during the present struggle has sought to de-
stroy the imperillcd life Of the nation. His
chances for the nomination are unquestionably
superior to all others, and nobody now doubts
that Old Abe has the ''inside track" MIR.
Chase, as Secretary of the Treasury, Is entitled
to some fifteen hundred appointments, consti-
tutiug vast influence which will be used in OBJ
yious ways to promote the "consummation
most dcvoutly to be wished !" but without any
probability of success, for should there be any
change between this and the assembling of the
convention. military hero will undoubtedly
be the successful candidate.
