THE Cincinnati Commercial has a cores
pondent at Washington who has been forecast
ing the next United States Senate. He thinks
it probable that the trades-unionists and anti
prohbitionists will get control of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature and elect Colonel Greene
Democrat, to the Senate in place of Wilson;
that neither Anthony nor Cragin will be re-
elected that Sidney Clarke is likely to come
from Kansas in place of Ross; that Logan has
the best chance to succeed Yates; that Judge
Moses of the State Supreme Court, win sue
ceed Robertson, of South Carolina; and that
Jesse d. Bright is the coming man from Ken
lucky If this enterprising corresp ondent
had added that JEFF Davis would be returned
from Mississippi, Gen. Lee from Virginia, and
Breckenridge from Kentucky, his conjecture
would have lost nothing of plaasibility, while
it would have been more finished.

The Late Secretary RawIins.

ueneral Rawlns was born in 10 Davfess
county, Illinois, 18th February, 1881. He ro-
celved common school and academieal edu-
cation, but lived and worked ON farm until
ne was tWenty-three years Of age, when he be-
gan to study law In Galena. 10 1854 he was
admitted to the bar and was moderately sue
cessful as lawyer. He became an aetixs
Democratic politician, and in 1850 was placed
on the Douglas electoral ticket. Soon amer
the flag was fired upon at Sumter he astonish-
ed his neighbors and political friends, by max
ing a strong war speech at meeting in Gale
ma presided over by Mr.. now President Grant.
The war took away Grant IS Colonel OF an IL
inois regiment, but in August, 1881, The
colonel had become a brigader-gensral, wish
MI Mf. hawllns az his adjutaat-ge aeral. Since
'nhh tne relations of the two have been OF the
closest character. Together they fought tho
mohuetiul campaigns which made one of them
famous. But the modesty OF the seneral has
often led him to give due credit 10 tb. ,.,;st
ance he derived from his moro ob,cnre adm
tant, 30 that by the praises OF the .nnsrio,
General Rawlins has received Distinction.
The successive promotions Of General Grant
were closely followed by the elevation OF his
adjutant-general, who becam major in Feb.
ruary, 1862, lieutenant-colonel in November Of
the same year, igadier-general in August
1868, and maiorgeneral in March, 1865. From
November, 1852, he was chief of staff to Gen.
Grant until the latter became President, and
seven days after the transfer of his shisf to
the executive mansion he was made Secretary
of War, position which he held until his
death. For the past two years he has been AZ
fheted with disease of his lungs, which has
many times threatened to take him away sad
denly, but his extraordinary power OF resuper-
alton has always proved superior to disease
until this last attack, which has closed his
life.
Secretary Rawlins was one of type of pub
lie servants who are not so numerous shat the
county can afford to loso any of them. Al
though on more than one occasion he has
shown his political knowledge and has set a
good example to more experienced speaker. in
the art of concisely stating political principles
and arguments, he was not, in the ordinary
sense of the word, politician. In the army
he was thoroughly acquainted with his duties,
and conscientious and painstaking in the per-
formance of them. General Grant himself
has testified to his ability in letter, in which
he says that if Rawlins had started in the line
instead of on the staff he would have been one
of our brightest military lights. But he was
contented to serve in a place for which he was
fitted, but where bis merits would
never have received due credit unless by the
generosity of bis superior general. His career
IN civil Office has been short but crsditable.
He died probably without an enemy, and will
be remembered with sincere affection by all
who knew the modesty and excellence Of his

THE woman suffrage advocates of New York
have discovered novel way of making infu-
ential proselytes. The more prominent of
them-Mrs. Stanton, Anna Dickinson, Miss
Anthony and others-have formed q society
which they call the Eunadelphe, composed
of the very cream of the woman suffrage agi-
tatOrs. They propose to invite the leading
New York editors, one after another, to take
tea with them. The poor editor alone among
so many ladies, and piled with all sorts of
choice viands and wines, is attacked on all
sides with arguments. Horace Greeley was
said that though he was not convinced he went
away considerably Modified. The ladies do
not despair of seeing Mr.. Greeley hopefully
converted at an early day.

ASA PACKER, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, has been cypherirg out
how rich he is. The poor fellow is only worth
twelve millions instead of twenty as at first re-
ported. But he is bound to be rich, and, as he
is the head and front of the coal monopoli SITS,
this will account for the advance in the price
of that article of prime necessity. Let the
rich get richer, and the poor poorer is thus
shown to be Democratic practice, and prac-
tice always proves more than preaching.
