The Last Great Sensation.

The Senate-Sumner sensation has
had its ten days run, and Is now SUBJ
siding rapidly. The mole has not
into mountain grown, notwith-
standing the industrious exertiOns of
the party OF the second part to induce
the marvellous and miraculous expan-
sion. The sensation, by the iDgeni-
Gus help Of telegraph and press, was
SO successfully put upon the boards,
that, for the first few days, the coun-
try was really started into excite
ment, and the pulse Of public opinion
quickened into sharp and sudden
fever.
On the first impulse, before second
thought, the people In indignant
haste jumped at the conclusion that
the Senate, as n body authorized to
act, and for its acts responsible, had
not the right to model Its commit.
tees as its majority thought best.
Instantly there was much and savage
talk about Midsummer being deposed,
executed" slaughtered" and "by
the hand Of another Brooks stricken
down." Those that SO fliriously de.
nounced seemed to forget that the
Senate-or the Republican portion Of
1t its Majority ia eaueus--was en-
gagged in raising n new Committee,
consequently could not strike Mr..
Sumner down IN a particular position
for the simple reason that he then
stood at no particular post. The old
Committee on Foreign Relations, of
which he was Chairman, was dead,
and Its Chairman, as such, dead with
It. The new Senate had new Com
mittee to raise, and unless Mr.. Sum-
ner had a divine right to its Chair
manship, his fellow Senators could
be under no special obligations to
reinaugurate him In its possession.
Perhaps many who were 50 swift to
denounce Mr.. Summers dethrone-
ment, did not remember that he no
longer sat upon the throne, but stood
upon the common level with his col.
leagues, depending on his standing
among and popularity with them for
4 return to the coveted place, just a.
any official at the expiration Of his
term depends upon the strength Of
his merit and the number Of his
friends for a denomination. That he.
had not the friendship of the majority
Of the Senators Of his party, and not
having this, that he did not have

proportion Of people accommodated
BY railroads, Illinois has the great

ing passed Pennsylvania during the
year 1870. The States next in order
are New York, Ohio and Indiana,
followed at considerable distance by
Iowa, Missouri and Georgia.
or course there is another side to
the history Of our railroads. Some
of their greatest, but not best, engin-
eering fbais have been accomplished
in our money markets, in our courts,
and in our legislatures. 1t Is very
likely that II our fathers had foreseen
the growth of this enormous system
they would have established a con-
stitutional principle for its regula-
ton as they did for the regulation of
commerce. As it IL now, however,
the problem is how to control legis-
latively that which actually controls
the legislature. A favOrite solution
with many Is, to let the government
either State or national, or both
within certain limits-acquire and
operate all railroads. If this could
be done, which we very much doubt,
it would be attended by at least two
fatal objections: the jobbery and cor
ruption Of corporations would only
be transferred to the far more conta-
gious and blighting sphere of the
government, while the government
would be found essentially incapac-
itated from doing the business work
of corporations. Any mixed scheme
yet proposed encounters the same
difficulties, and superadds some of
its own. The State In the end, then,
will probably have to narrow its
ground in order to make 1t impreg-
nable. So far as railroads are COM
mon carriers and chartered servants
Of the public, they must be subjected
to regulations requiring them to OBJ
serve their contract; as to the rest,
throw them open to the laws Of COM
petition in every particular. Neither
men nor companies in this country
can be kept from growing rich, and
the best way, If possible, is to make
them evoke their own checks and
regulators. One thing is to be borne
in mind, lin the newness of our rail-
road system there Is yet much raw
ness, and many things called crimes
are simply business blunders. There
may yet arise an Astor who will let
and sell tenements merely to spite
his neighbor, or "A Stewart who will
take a notion to deal only In worth.
less goods, --these things cannot be
helped. But when our railroad in
terest il as well matured as the real
estate or the dry goods business, we
we shall expect to see these supposed
follies quite as often as railroad blum
ders like that recently committed by
other companies that might be men,
toned. Ere,y Saturday, 10Th inst.

even the San Domingo quarrel, to
crafty hate and secure revenge.
Might we not, with more show of
truth, when we remember Mr.. Sum-
ner's record on annexation, and his
broken promise to support the prop
osition to purchase the island, say
that his final course in that matter
was dictated by malice more than
economy? II President Grant has
not treated Mr.. Sumner altogether
and uniformly well, surely 1t cannot
be claimed that the Senator has
heaped upon the Executive head
Goals Of fire OF any better sort.
We have not room here to review
the causes inducing Mr.. Summers
defeat, downfall or disgrace we cam
not call it, for 1t was neither. There
may not have been causes sufficient
to warrant the denial of his request
for continuance in the Office; we per-
sonally think there was not II we
consider it purely in the light of Mr..
Summers worthiness or non-worthi-
ness. Were we to give our opinion
honestly as to why his petition was
refused, we should say that as we
look at 1t, he had made himself SO
unacceptable to his fellow Senators,
that they did not care to bestow him
the honor. It is not to be denied
and no one wishes to deny 1t, that he
had filed the place with distin-
guished ability, and that in it he had
honored the nation as he had his
party. But this excellence in service
did not secure him exclusive title to
the place; nor make of him duke or
a lord with royal hold upon it. The
Senate, while it has no man 80 strong
as the Massachusetts man, has men
who can fill that one particular place
as well-Morton, for instance, but
not Cameron. The body, it appears,
thought SO, too, and put another man
there, and left Mr.. Sumner to rest.
This it could do, and still commit no
outrage upon him, and this it did.
Why there should be such an effort
to arouse the country to Indignation
in his behalf we cannot imagine.
We cannot see how the refusal to be-
stow Office upon him, strikes Sumner
to the ground any more than any
other man. The great stir made over
his disappointment in place.seeking,
we cannot but regard as tempest in
a teapot, great fuss over little mat
ter. He will survive 1t. It could
have made him no greater, for he has
attained to such stature that when he
stands erect, no Office can add honor
to his name. lie has his faults, as
all men have, and has lately shown
more Of them than he ever did before;
but still he towers giant among the
greatest Americans, and ever will.
BY large element Of the party, he
Is rauarfled AS the great chinf Of the
Republican forces, and for many
things he should be, but not for all.
Grand is his record as champion OF
all rights for all men, and great has
been his service to his country. But
much as the speech Of Sumner has
done for the Republic, the sword OF
Grant has done more; and this the
people, grateful to both, will not let
the politicians lead them to forget.
This attempt to make Sumner mar
tyr under a blow from Grant must
fail miserably, in this day when the
people can for themselves see how
utterly absurd is the endeavor.-Reg-
ister.

BEAUTIFUL Snow AND OTHER POEMS
A new and enlarged edition, by J. w.
Watson. is in press and will be published in
few days by T. B. Peterson & Brothers,
Philadelphia. In issuing the present new
and enlarged edition, several other poems
written by Mr.. Watson have been added to
it. viz: THE Kiss in the Street." Il
Would That She Were Dead" "What l
Saw" 'Please Help the Blind" "Some.
where to Co. and "Swinging in the
Dance" The poem which lends its name
to the book, Beautiful Snow" treats a
well-worn subject with orig ginality and feel
ing at once delicate and intense. The des-
pair of the wretched outcast, as she watches
the falling Of the pure, beautiful, yet cold
and unfeeling snow, and remembers that
she was once as fair and pure, is depicted
with true artistic effect. All the other
poems in Beautiful Snow" possess great
interest, and display lively and pleasant
fancy, as well as genuine, hearty sym
pathy with all the joys and SORROWS of hu-
manity. They will take strong hold of the
heart and memory: and will live and last
because they touch many chords of human
sympathy. 1t will be published in one large
octave volume. printed on the finest tinted
plate paper, and bound in morocco cloth,
with gilt top and side, and beveled boards,
price two dollars, and will be for sale by all
Or copies will be sent by mail
to any one, free of postage, by the publish
ers, on receipt of price.

Reception Of General Hugh J. Campbell
BY the sixth Ward Republicans.
The Republicans Of this ward assembled
last night in large numbers at their club
room to receive their Senator, General
Hugh j. Campbell, upon his return from
his mission to the President.
He was greeted with cheers and m usic,
and escorted to the platform. In reply to
the calls Of the assembly, the General ad-
dressed the meeting briefly. He assured
them that the leading and influential Re-
publicans Of the North understood our posi-
tion, and sustained the party here as against
the Customhouse. He spoke Of the grow
ing strength of the party and its recent
victories; predicted the overwhelming VIC
tory Of the Republican party in 1872, and
said, that in the next national convention,
it will be strong enough to rebuke any man,
even the President, for doing wrong. His
remarks were received with tremendous
applause.

WASHINGTON, November 2.-Partiea who
lef. Salt Lake on Saturday arrived here to-
day, and have communicated to government
officials some interesting facts connected
with the situation there. They state that
the prosecution Of the polygamists is injur-
1g;;.t ing business very much; that Eastern cap
are leaving, and that the Gentiles are cur
failing their business operations, and send
ing their wives and children to places Of
safety. 1t is added that the government
has sold to these very Mormons old muskets
for dollar apiece, and that If war comes
the Mormons will present . formidable
front, though it is not improbable that they
may all emigrate to Mexico. It is stated
that not twenty Gentiles in Utah favor the
prosecution OF the Mormons, and that even
the federal military authorities are ipdif.
ferent to it on the surface, and at heart op-
posed to it.

New YORK, November "a Washington
special to the Herald says that Attorney
General Akerman had long conference
yesterday with the Secretary Of State and
afterward with the President. The subject
of the interviews was the Ku-Klux ques-
tion, involving the punishment Of the per
sons recently arrested in South Carolina,
and perhaps the prOmulgatiOn of a new
proclamation. 1t is asserted by those who
ought to know something Of the character

even that possessed by the congressional
committee. Gentlemen of high character.

out that the Ku-Klux in South Carolina
have been largely furnished with arms from

policy of repression, that it is the design of
the invisible empire to attempt reposeession
by the old rebel element, first Of the sew

through terror, outrage and murder of the

Last February Congress passed an act
granting pensions to surviving officers and
soldiers Of the war of 1912 who served sixty
days or more in said war. Under this act
there could be no claim for pension for less
time of service. Owing to the extreme age
Of the persons to be benefited by the act,
and their infirm memories, many claims
have been fled by men who did not serve
sixty days. In many cases the examiners
have rejected claims, but in others certifi-
