MERELY A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. ss.-herelV &
member Of Congress The judge could not pre-
vent the blue philanthropy Of his eyes from
turning little green with envy. The title Of
an. ." had been for more than quarter Of a
century the mark Of his ambition. To set
those two letters to bis name be had spent mon
ey, gushed eloquence, intrigued, entertained,
iiAttered, bowed. grinned, lived, and all in vain.
Ever since age had qualified him TO run for thst
goal, the State party had been an overmatch for
the Union party in his district, and it was always
a Beaumont, or some other Cslhounite, who had
", the congressional race. At last, two yesrs
previous to this interview. he had despsired OF
being called 10 save his country, had publicly
announced his final withdrawal from politics,
and declined csndidsture.
But the disappointment faukled IN his soul,
and he still cherished wild dreams of success.
His desire aud hope were increased by his con-
tempt and dislike for the men who had beaten
him. In his opinion the Hon. Peyton Beaumont
was nothing but well descended blockhead and
rowdy. It was abominsble that a man who had
the rhetoric of a termGgant and the logic Of a
school-boy should represent year after year q
district which contained within its bounds the
copious, ornate, argumentstiye. and learned
Judge McAlister. A man who hosrsely denounc-
ed a spade as a spade had surely no claims COM
pared with man who blandly reproved it for
being an agricultural implement. Moreover,
Beaumont made few speeches in Congress, and
those few excited bitter opposition. The Judge
imagined himself as Grating amid the echoes Of
the Hall of Representatives with such persua-
slyeness and suavity as to draw even the Senate
around him, and to beguile Sumner himself into
moderation. Yet he was not elected, and his
ioierlors were. 1t was horrible like the belt

Mir. MCCORMICK, OF Arizona, AS
said before, I introduced this amend
ment simply as matter of duty. I
believe there is no hope for the Indians
in giving them appropriations unless
we begin to instruct them at once In
the arts of labor, as the writer of that
letter says. They will be, under the
present plan, kept at the point of deg
radiation.
Mr.. Sargent, who last year opposed
this amendment, now renewed his op-
position and it was rejected. Why, it
is difficult to conjecture for certainly a
more sensible proposition could hardly
be made No one familiar with the
Indian character will presume to say
that much work could be expected at
first, but step by step habits of indus
try might be inculcated The expert
ment should at least be tried for as
the Bishop well says the present sys-
TEN leaves the Indians at a point of
degradation. We are glad to learn
that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has upon the appeal Of the Delegate
promised sum of So, 900 from his con-
tingent fund for schools for the Pimas.
The letter above quoted is the one
which we printed and circulated in
Spanish during the campaign of last
fall, but we have not before published
it in English. AS voluntary en-
dorsement by the excellent Bishop of
the views and course of our Delegate
it is no small compliment.
We may here say that the appro-
priation of $4,000 above referred to is
a new appropriation in addition to the
usual one Of $4,000 for general Incl
dental expenses Of the Indian service
in the Territory. It was not made at
the suggestion of the Delegate who
has little faith in getting the Apaches
upon a reservation, but was not object
ed to by him after the addition OF his
amendment. We certainly hope the
trial may prove success, but we have
serious doubt as to the possibility of
getting any number Of the Apaches
upon a reservation until they are
thoroughly whipped. On the 2Sth of
January, our Delegate made.an elab-
crate speech upon Indian affairs, which
excited a lively debate in the House

The New York World learns that Chief Justice
Chase "has recovered his full vigor, both of
body and mind, feeling better in health than
before the serious attack of last year." In a
word, according to this report, he is now good
deal more than his old self, and still young
enough for a long career of public usefulness"

Gladstone, and that Chief Justices Marshall and

ability for twenty years after they had passed
his present age. Mr.. Chase himself gives the
information concerning his health to a cores.
pondent of the World. OF course, all concerned
will take notice that he is again in condition to
be nominated for the presid ncy. Manifesty,
the World takes notice of this fact, but does not
formally mention all the uses for which he is
now supposed 10 be fitted.

The state of New York offers premium of
100000 for the best method of propelling boats
on the canals. Stimulated by this offer, an in
ventiye genius has devised new form of pro-
peller, which he hopes will secure the reward.
His invention might appropriately be called the
fish tail propeller He had observed that the
motive power of fishes resides mostly in their
tails; it occurred to him, therefore, that he
could not 60 far wrong in initiating their nat
ural process Of locOmoton. His invention con-
sists of a blade about four feet long and equally
wide, made of yulcanized rubber, which sub
stance better than any other combines the nee
essary frmness and fexibility, and so attached
to shaft that, by a reciprocating motion of the
latter, its movement resembles that of the tail
of a fish. A working model is said to operate
admirably, and to give much promise that a
practical trial viii show the new propeller to be
an improvement on any now in use. This is not
the first time that the fish tail has been
the model of a device for marine locomotion. A
gentleman in Buffalo some years ago construct
ed model which involved a new motive power,
as well as new method of applying it. Start
ing with the assumption, which he believed
whether it is true or not, that the carcass of a
whale if left to itself, will be propelled through
the water at considerable speed by the action Of
the waves upon its tail, the plane of which is
horizontal instead of vertical as in most fishes
he thought it possible to construct vessel witt
an apparatus attached to its stern mod
eled after the whales tail in shap
and capacity for motion, which woul
be so acted upon by the waves wheneve
there were any, as to drive the vessel in any
rection desired. The inventor was very sar
guine that he should revolutionize navigation
by making the ocean itself furnish constan
supply of power, and he spent great deal G
money in perlecting his invention. He was sti
confident and still at work when we last hear
directly from him; hut he is since deceased, tn
victim of railroad disaster some months ACC
and steam is not yet surpassed as a motive pow
er in navigation.

RntIor on the Stumn.

So long as there are a few excellent people
who think that General Butler is a worthy can
didate for the goyernorship of this state, he is
doing in his speeches public service by re-
moving that impression. No one can do this
so well as he; all the attacks that his enemies
can make upon him are not so deadly as the
exposures which his own speeches contain.
When man of experience in public life comes
before the people of Massachusetts TO show why
he should be elected governor, and spends more
than half the time of his address in personal
attacks or retorts upon men who rightly
or wrongly disagree with him, he shows
a pitiable weakness or peryersity of
character that evidently units him for
any such position of public honor and trust.
There are some men perhaps who think that
dignity is only grave imposture, and that
smartness and recklessness of statement and ac-
ton are valuable qualifications for chief mag
istrate; but this opinion is not yet prevalent in
Massachusetts. The self respecting dignity of
character, which seems TO meet abuse with re-
taliation in kind or in any other manner than
by the record of consistent and useful public
life, is a trait which we have valued in former
governors, but of which General Butler has no
conception.
The public have little interest in the explana-
tons that may be offered of the fact that all the
republican newspapers oppose this selEconsti-
tuted candidate; but it might have listened with
profit, though hardly with approval, to an at
tempted justification of General Buffers green
back scheme, his project to strengthen the re-
publican party by provoking war with En-
land or some of the other political vagaries that
he has tried within the last year or two, and
abandoned when he found they were not popu-
lar. These schemes he does not discuss, but they
are of some importance in regard to the fitness
of their author for the highest honor and re-
sponsbilty to which Massachusetts can call any
Of her citizens.
Dir. Butler claims great credit for his bold
ness in daring 10 give frank expression to his
views on the questions of prohibition and
woman suffrage. Perhaps he would do the
same thing if he really risked his popularity by
it. He is well aware, however, that he risks
nothing. Advocacy of woman suffrage is not
unpopular. Opposition to itmight lose candi-
date some votes. On the prohibtOry question
the general is not so frank as he pretends. He
is careful not to say whether he approves
of the prohibitory law, but appeals to
its friends and opponents alike TO
elect him that he may enforce it
impartially and thoroughly, which they re-
spectively believe will cause its repeal or its
firm establishment. In regard to the abuses
which Mr.. Butler alleges have crept into the
financial management of the state, if there is
any foundation for his criticisms, he is not the
man whom the people would entrust with the
correction of abuses. An experienced and ac-
complished man of business, like Mr.. Jewell or
Mr.. Washburn, is much better adapted to that
business.
