The most striking proof Of the alarm felt by
the Spanish Provisional Government ut the
dangers in Cuba, is given in their latest action.
Hitherto their attitude toward the instruction
has been uncertain and yacillating First they
left its management to the Absolutist, Lersundi.
Then they recalled him and sent ont Dulce, a
man predisposed to mild measures, both by his
political theories and by his family alliance
with tho Cubans. Having tried tho sternest
measures of repression, they next tried
mildness, liberty of tho press. general conces-
sions. Then, finding oil these fail to pacify the
country they Withdrew the amnesty, suspended
tho liberty Of the press, and sent for moro SOL
diers. The Castilan hatred Of tho Cubans was
thus fully aroused and the Spanish volunteers
were about proceeding to the bloOdiest extrem-
tiles in Havana itself, when the Captain General
intcrfered on the side of clemency. Next came
dissensions on this score with Dulce himself
and now we hear from Madrid that this Off
Ger has, in turn, been recalled. Doubtless
his Cuban affiliations were thought to influ-
ence his policy too much in favor Of mild
measures. No such complaint is likely to be
made against his successor Caballero de ROda,
the butcher of Cadiz and Malaga, whose sue
cess in slaughtering Spanish Republicans in
the interest Of the successful Spanish insur-
gents may be taken as an earnest of what he
may be expected to do in the same interest
against Cuban insurgents. But tho vacillatng
Provisional Government is too slow. What
Lersundis severity and Dulce's lonity have failed
to allay. Cabaler0 dc ROdas butcheries will

of tho Cubans but it will not prevent thom
from reaching their goal. Meantime, yestor-

Mr.. AttOrney-General Evarts explains at
some length his iDterposition to delay the
prosecution of the Baisdell-Eekel whisky suit.
The explanation is, in substance, that the de-
lay was caused by charges preferred by Judge
Fullerton against the District-Attorney and
Marshal; that these charges were not sus-
tanned by satisfactory evidence, and that there
upon the trials were suffered to proceed. This
is well-as far as it goes. But why are tile
later trials DELAYED?

hint yesterday of the estimate placed upon his
labors, in the House, by vote striking out
the appropriation for his salary. We have
grieved before over his apparent determination

Delmar's melancholy fate so soon.

Religious Intelligence.

A great revival of religion has been
going on at Shullsburg during the last
four weeks.
There are in Great Britain 2, All Bap.
fist churches, comprising 221 ,525 members,
and 3,0l4 Congregational churches.
At "a meeting of Methodist Presiding
Elders in Boston the other day, talk turned
on the subject of the feeble churches, too
small to support minister without his
resort to other callings for partial support,
and sensible resolution was adopted to
the effect that these feeble churches, wher-
ever practicable, ought to be united, two in
one charge, under the care of one man,
having one sermon each Sabbath.
According to Schem's Ecclesiastical
almanac we have 10 Methodist denomina-
atoms, with 1889 travelling and local
preachers and 1885, 900 members. The
Baptists, who come next in numerical
strength, have IL denominations, 1887
preachers, and 1864, LOG members, exclu-
sive of the Southern Baptists, whose sta
tistics are not given. Next, numerically,
come IL denominations of Presbyterians,
with 1888 ministers and 787, 135 members.
Of the Lutherans there are 1887 ministers
and 377,105 members.

Senator Carpenters First Speech

The brilliant oratorcal powers and legal
lore of Hon. Matt. H. Carpenter, our new
Senator, seem to have been displayed with
marked effect in his first elaborate speech
in the Senate on Wednesday. The Re-
pu6lican's dispatch says: "Mr. Carpen-
ter, of Wisconsin, made his first speech,
and established his standing as among the
best speakers in the Senate. So marked
was his success that he was congratulated
by large number of Senators. The 7ri'
6une's dispatch says: "Mr' Carpenter
made his debut this afternoon, with such
success as to win some applause from the
galleries in spite of orders, and much con-
graduation from his friends on the floor"
The speech was about two hours in length.
The Worlds dispatch says:
Mr.. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, at this
point made his FIRST speech of his term,
and by it he has put himself alongside of
the first men in the chamber in ability,
and far ahead of any Of them IN the ele'
ments of reGned and attractive oratory.
He spoke for the principle of the law, but
was willing to suspend for short time,
not to please or displease Grant or any
other man, bat to allow several modifica.
tons Of the law which he thought ought
to be made when cooler temper obtained.
He declared that the Constitution made
removal a precedent incident of appoint
ment itself, and that che consent of the
Senate was as requisite to removal as to
appointment. Mr.. Carpenter spoke near
ly an hour, made pure legal argument,
but enlvened it by illustrations without
number, and by grace of manner and OF
voice, which held floor and galleries in
closest attention, and drew forth round
of applause from the latter as he sat down:

THE COUNTY JUDGEsHIP.
Nominee of the Contention.

We went to press last week before the
result of the Republican County Judicial
Convention was known. The official re-
port will be found in another column.
Our readers are aware who our first
choice was for the office shout to be filled
but the question now is, not who should
have been nominated; but
Who shall be elected?
But eleven days are given for the voters
of the county to decide to whom their suf-
frage shall be given, and we trust that it is
amply sufficient. Let the Republicans be
true to their principles, their party and
themselves, and the result will roll up such
a majority for the nominee of their Con.
vention as will be creditable to themselves
and gratifying to him.
But about the Convention and its nomi-
nee. The candidates went in pledged to
abide the result of the ballots and the
mantle fell upon the shoulders of Captain
JOHN T. JONES, of Mifflin. Perhaps all
we need say of him would he to repeat our
assertion in the issue of the 18th instant,
that "he is personally unereeptiona6le, po.
"litacalIy sound and true; and, If elected,
"we haze no doubt soould discharge the d.
"ties Of Judge in an impartial manner, and
"to tile entire satisfaction Of the people"
But as it will be of interest at this time,
we will say more:
lie is about thirty-ive years old, medi-
UNI height, spare built, Land has the appear
ance of delicate health, which we under
stand was impaired by his services in the
army. Quiet and unassuming, he bears
unmistakable evidence of temperate,
well educated, kind-hear:ed Christian gen.
tleman. He has filled several town Offices
creditably, and particularly that of Justice
of the Peace. With his experience in
business, bis good education, and sound
Judgment, he is, beyond a shadow Of
doubt, eminently qualified for the position
to which he aspires, and for which he is
the nominee of the Republican party Of
this county. From the character of the
man, and the circumstances of the case,
we take pleasure in placing his name at
the head of our columns, and giving him
our votes and hearty support. Farther
we feel warranted in respectfully bus
earnestly asking our Republican party
friends to see that full vote is polled, and
that the name of JOHN T. JONES for
Judge of Probate, is On their every judi
eial ballot.

The Tenure-of- Office Law.

The question of the repeal or suspension
of the tenure-of office law is the most in
teresting one that has been debated du-
ring the present session of Congress. 1t
is understood that President Grant, feel
ing that it was passed with especial refor-
ence to the late administration, and that
the necessity for such law passed away
and died with it, is or was strongly in ia.
yor of its repeal. The bill for this pur.
pose passed the house by nearly unani.
nous vote. In the Senate it was referred
to the judiciary Committee which report.
ed it with an amendment providing for a
suspension Of the law in question till the
next session.
The debate that ensued was highly in.
teresting. and for the most part was closely
listened to. The latest reports 20 to show
that the law will be suspended, but not
repealed. We can see in this no d;sre.
spect to the President, in whom Congress
and the people have all confidence, but the
safeguards which the provisions of the ten.
rre-of office law throw around the ap-
peintiEe power and power Of removal may
be needed at some future day. and the law
may very properly remain on our statutes.
