New States.

The "rotten borough" system upon
which Mr.. LINCOLN has chiefly relied for his
reelection is coming to grief. The exclu-
sion BY the Senate Of the men who came
claiming seats in that body, from the "re>
constructed State of Arkansas, is held to
furnish precedent which will also exclude
from the electoral college the votes of all
the seeded states Having this been dis.
appointed in his hopes of the electoral vote
of the South, LINCOLN turned his attention
to the admission of territories which
might be bought over to his support
Accordingly he sent his "Private Secreta,
ry,n who it will be remembered. was also
his ambassador to Florida and lost more
men at Olustee than all the votes be expect
ed to obtain for his master, on a, special
mission to the western territories to elk"
things for their admission. Here, he has
not been much more successful than IN
Florida. The people in Nebraska called
q unconstitutional convention which assembled
at Omaha few days since and, in spite Of
Mr. LINCOLN and the efforts of his Private
Secretary, resolved not to apply for admis-
Zion into the Union just at this time. That

time before concluding to incur the ex-

Stealing the Statue Of Wash
Ir, ingtOn.

During the late raid of Gen. Hunter in
the Virgins Valley, the bronze statue oil
Washington, erected in 1888, the first ever
cast of the Father of His Country, was sto
len from Lexington, and in broken form
was transported to Wheeling. The tablet
was broken in three pieces IT bore the
inscription
"The General Assembly of the Cons
monwealth of Virginia have caused this
statue to be erected as a monument oil
affection and gratitude to George Washing
ton, who uniting to the endowments OF the
hero the virtues of the patriot, and exert>
ing both in establishing the liberties of bis
country, has endeared bis name to his fell
low citizens, and given to the world an inn
mortal example of true glory" "Done inl
the year of Christ, 1888, and in the year OF
the Commonwealth the 18th. " "a
The Emperor Napoleon, In his wars
against foreign enemy, received the cen
sure of all historians for enrching France
with works of art, taken from the palaces
and the cities he had conquered; but Ma
poleon never removed statue erected by q
grateful people TO any of their illustrious
dead. That act of utter inlamy is reserved
for an American General in this the noon
time of thu nineteenth century. The
State of Virginia had erected this statue to
her own son. whom she gave to the Revo.
luton which gave birth to the Republic
She had selected the spot for it's erection
Mhere her State Military Academy was
placed, to the end that her sons might draw
inspiration from bis. wisdom and patriotism
from his virtues. The Military Academy
was given to the incendiary torch and was
burned to the ground-the statue Of Wash
ington was taken from its pedestal and fe-
loniously carried away, as no doubt would
have been his Bones, had they been buried
there. This was done by the Command of
an officer bearing a commission in the ser>
vice OF the Republic Washington had form
ed Although the statute was erected BY
the commonwealth that gave Washington
birth, and which be so loved, to perpetuate
her pride in hernoblest son, in whose bosom
his ashes slept, YET she gladly hailed him as
the Father Of his Country, and the people
of every State in the Confederacy call,d
him by that proud title. The stealing of
the statue was an act Of vandalism without
earthly ,excuse-it is theft that nothing
cap palliate-disgraceful to the age, and
doubly so to the country that will suffer
such sacrilege TO go unwhpped of JUS
tice. 1t will give the author of the theft
name, and it will in history, associate it
with that of Washington, bat like chat of
the youth who, for the sake of an Infamous
Immortality, fred the Ephesian Temple, it

from enjoying. 10 the worlds history it is

The recent proclamation, BY tie Presi-
dent, establishing martial law In the State
Of Kentucky and suspending the privilege
Of the writ of Habeas Corpus, has set the
people to thiakiag very industriously, very
little has been said, at least aloud, but we
doubt If Mr.. LINCOLN or any Of his "con>|
stitu,ion.l'D advisers have any idea OF the
tenor of the tbrongipg thoughts called forth
by the Kentucky proclamation, which have
saurged through the public mind during the
past few days The circumstances have all
been carefully aeted, the cautious words
of the proclamation have been minuteiy
examined and the motive which prompted
tia issue has been scrutipized from every
point tofrview.l Martial law is proclaimed
over the entire State, loyal and disioyai,
alike, at Louisville as we'll as Paul. -,
cab, and from the entire population
of the State Of Kentucky the pro
lection Of the laws against illegal imprison-
ment is, by one stroke Of the pen, withdrawn.
If these things can be done in Kentucky,
why may they not be done in Ohio T.
And if they are found "expedient for the
public welfare" in Kentucky and Ohio,
would not the safety Of the nation be still
better secured by placing the whole North
under theft operation? The subject is a
very suggestive one snd leads to some con
illusions uudreamed of in this country, un
oil since our present Chief Magistrate fell
in love with the power he Yields.
Concerning the condition of"affairs in
Kentucky and the warrant they afforded
for the recent acton Of Mr.. LINCOLN, the
New York Express says: #.s ..-

Reward Of Merit.
The New York World says:

1t gives us pleasure TO add this further
testimony of the sincerity and earnestness
Of the politicians who composed the Balti-
more Convention. For the Office of United
States consRl-geperal of the Canadas, made
vacant by the death of Mr. eIDpINcs, it is
said that there were more than two hundred
applicants. PRESTON KING, of this state,
late United States senator, is reported to
have been one of those who had been named
for the place. 1t was given finally to JOHN
F POTTER, Of Wisconsin, late member of
Congress from the district now represented
by Hon JAMES S. Brown. T.. =.
The reason why POTTER was selected has
come to light, The resolutions passed By
the Baltimore Convention were drawn, it
will beremembered, By HENRY j. RAYMOND.
They we're altogether such as the patriotic
assemblage at Baltimore desired. But Mr..
POTTER, who was delegate in the conTen.
ton, insisted upon having, inserted among
the resolutions one which demanded a re-
construction of the cabinet. He was siren
uons on this point, and prevailed. -
