was regarded by all the order, and espe-
cia}ly by his brethren in California and
closed with presenting him with the jew
Ell and regalia. DR.. Morse was much af-
fected, but made touching and appro-
priats response. Both addresses were fire.
quently interrupted with applause.
The jewel is Grand Representatives,
and the insignia, whilst conformable to
laws of the order, display also the taste of
the artist, who has generously blended in
symbolic union the nationality of the
United States and Germany and the EN-.
blems of Oddfellowship. The American
eagle in solid gold and in full relief, sur
mounts the whole. The jewel is seven
inches long and weighs seven ounces, and
is of eighteen oaret gold. Thirty dia-
mouds, fourteen rubies, one garnet and
forty-fve pearls, embellished it. On the
reverse of the medal are engraved the
following:
Presented to John T. Morse, Special
Deputy Grand Sire, Grand Representa-
tive and Past Grand Master of California
[. o. of o. F., by the Lodges of Califor-
MIA, concentrating the successful estab-
lishment of the Order in Germany and
Switzerland under his auspices. Septem-

This was a we'll deserved testimonial
from bis own immediate constituents, and
at the same time it is in the time and
manner of the presentation, full recog-
milton of the valuable services of Grand
Sire Morse by the entire brotherhood of the
United States. We are pleased to know
that this distinguished gentleman who
has made such a reputation for himself, in
Europe and on the Pacific coast, is ma

AMERICANS IN EGYPT.-It is asserted
by French paper that the Viceroy of
Egypt is becoming more and more discon-

THK WESTERN terminus OF THE NORTHERN Pa
CIFIO RAnRoAD.-From the special report on the
route OF the Northern Pacific Railroad by W. Mil
nor Roberts, Esq, Civil Engineer, we take the fol-
iowing:-
'Tn referring to Puget Sound in general way,
the mind naturally embraces the entire expsnse OF
waters OF which, technically, Puget Sound, the ex-
Ueme southern portion, constitutes but a small
part The Gulf OF Georgia, and the Strait OF Juan
de Fuse, are the two grand inlets from the ocean
each being about ten mile wide in their narrOwest
parts, and generally much wider. The strait OF
Juan de Fuca must always be the main commercial
avenue from the sea to the extensive region sur
rounding the vast interior salt water navigation
which permeates that portion OF United States ter
ritory lying between latitude Al deg. and 40 deg,
and between @ loDg Dgitude 1872 deg and 1241 deg. The

magnificent forests OF pine, FIR, cedar, etc., sur

Der. Numerous settlements already eXiss at di1er-
ent points, generally where saw-mills could be
veniently located, adjacent TO the valuable timber
tracts and with their piers so arranged that the
largest ocean ships can lie there In perfect safety
recy from the mills. The facilities for the greatest
lumber trade the world has ever known are here;
peted, the product OF the mills around Puget
Sound will unquestionably exceed million
OF feet per day, or three hundred millions. per
annum. With the settlements on these shores, which
will accompany and follow the construction OF this
railroad, aud with the interior demand that 1t will
create along the line of the road ITSELF It is safe to
claim that on these inland seas win spring up almost
like magic, trade which will establish this as the
worlds chief lumber mart. There is not anywhere
else on the globe to be found unoccupied field
for the establishment and permanent support OF
new great city, such should form the terminus Of

Pacific and Atlantic by the shortest line between

STAFF RANK IN THE NAVY.

IL 4.
IT Is expected that the bill prepared by Re-
preventative Stevens, of New Hampshire, de-
fning the rank and privileges of the staff
officers of the navy will come up for consi-
deration TO- day in the House of Representa-
tives, when it should receive the considera-
ton it deserves, and be promptly passed.
This bill gives the surgeons, engineers, and
paymasters positive rank, but it does not
give them military command or any rights
and privileges that will conflict with good
discipline or the eff ,ient workings of the
naval system. 1t places the staff of the
navy on the same footing exactly as
the staff of the army, and if it be-
comes a law it will put an end to
serious grievances that have caused an inf
mite amount of Generalization in the naval
service. The subject of naval staff rank has
been so thoroughly discussed of late that
there is no excuse for members of Congress
if they do not understand it in all its bear
ings, and the Stevens bill, that gives the staff
officers all that they can properly demand,
should be allowed to become q law without
further delay. La spite of the representations
of the line officers, it has been conclusively
demonstrated again and again that the staff
officers have no ambition to usurp the func-
tions OF those who are especially entrusted
with military command, and the provisions of
the Stevens bill are such that it will be i'm
possible for any of the officers who will be
affected by it to overstep their particular
lines of duly or to assume responsibilities
that do not belong to them. Under
the terms of this bill there can never,
in any contingency, be two captains to ship;
but the senior line officer, no matter what
his rank may be, will have command just as
at present. The bill, however, will secure
for the staff proper treatment, and protect
them from insult and tyranny, aud it will
make it an object for intelligent, educated
gentlemen to enter the medical, engineer,
and pay corps by assuring them that they
will be protected by the law, and that they
will not be at the mercy of the caprice of
those who have hitherto assumed to repre-
sent the navy, and to consider surgeons, pay
masters, and engineers as necessary evils,
who have no rights except such as the line
may choose to grant them. The question of
staff rank is one that Congress will be obliged
to meet some day, and trouble will be saved
if it is finally disposed of now instead of de-
laying it until some future time.

OBITUARY..
Raron saaiIIard.


IL IS announced that Baron Saiard, most ac-
compllshed and honorable Frenchman, lately
attached personally to the Imperial Government,
has met his death on the neld of battle while de-
Tending Paris. AT the time of the surrender OF
Sedan the Baron was Director OF the Ministry OF
Foreign Affairs, aud was especially noted for quail
ties not peculiar to Frenchmen, namely honesty
and frankness. His truthful qualities, though not
popular, caused him to be engaged in various mis-
sons OF ne Government where such qualities were
necessary. IN 1865 he went to Mexico by order of
the Emperor, to aequaint Macmillan with the deter
mination OF Napoleon to withdraw the auxiliary
army OF Marshal Bazalne. In 1867 he was sent to
Rome to give notice OF the removal OF the French
forces from Italy. Both OF these troublesome mis-
siops were satisfactorily conducted. After the fall
OF the Government he remained in Paris. He led
his battalion the lst OF the Mobiles OF the Seine, on
the 2d Of December to the attack OF Epnay near st.
Denis. Here he waa wounded in the right arm, but
Kept his horse until second ball disabled his left
arm. AS he was being lifted from the saddle third
ball struck him in the groin, and while being car

THE FICREN SHOOTING CASE
AGAIN

AGAIH.
VERY determined effort is now being made
to obtain the remission of the forfeited bail
entered in the case of Richard Fioken, who
was nearly year ago indicted on the charge
of maliciously shooting and injuring boy
named Arthur Curran. The affair excited
great amount of indignation at the time on
account of its peculiarly outrageous character.
Fears, however, were expressed that Ficken
would be allowed to escape the penalty of
his crime on account of his wealth; and ia
order to obtain as firm hold upon him as
possible, heavy bail bond was demanded by
the court. These fears were fully justified,
for bail was entered by +. L. Williams, the
partner of Ficken, and the criminal as soon
as he obtained his freedom left for Europe,
where he has remained ever since, the proba-
bilities of his returning being exceedingly
slim, unless a pardon is obtained, which
will be a bar to further prosecution.
When Ficken did not put in an appear
pearance his bail, to the amount of $12, 800,
was declared forfeited, and an execution
against the property of Williams was issued.
Justice demands that this sum should be
paid, and we hope sincerely that District
Attorney Sheppard will use his best efforts to
obtain it, and to prove that, although man
has wealth and social position, he cannot
commit with impunity such crime as that of
which Ficken is guilty. Able counsel has
been employed to stay the execution on the
property of Ficken's partner, and thus far
the efforts have been successful. 1t
is understood also that application has been
made to the Governor for the remission Of
the penalty, and the public are interested in
knowing what action his Exoellency will take
in the matter. If this money is not paid, it
will be said with truth thst Messrs. Ficken
and Williams have been allowed to escape on
account of their wealth, where poorer men
would have been made to suffer to the full
extent of the Jaw. Ficken's assault on the
boy Curran was a totally uni ustifable
outrage, and it should have secured for him
a term of years in the penitentiary. His bail
money, if it exacted, will practically come
out of his own pocket; and as it is the only
punishment that can now be meted out to
him, it will be great scandal if it is not col
lected to the last dollar. When Fickens case
originally came into court the District
Attorney displayed oommendable amount
of vigilance and activity, and we hope sin
cerely that he will not permit the forfeiture
of this bail bond to be remitted without de-
termined effort to prevent it.

Mr. ABBOTT, of North Carolina, proposes
to attempt to get seat in the United States
Senate, not because he received majority
of votes for that position, or because he is
legally elected, but because his successful
competitor, Governor Vance, is disqualified.
If the latter allegation is we'll founded it
seems an infinitely better reason for ordering
a new election than for admitting to the
Senate man who is not the legal choice of
the people of North Carolina. The Republi-
can party of the South has already suffered
SO much from arrangements similar to that
contemplated by Abbott, that they should all
be discountenanced in future. A large por-
ton of the office-holding Southern Republi-
cans have proven miserable and traitorous
time-servers at best, and it is an exceedingly
Improbable task to exercise doubtful powers
in behalf of any of them. They are too poor
a lot to Justify heavy investments.

The LONG AGONY occasioned among politi-
clans by the consolidation of Internal Reve-
nue. districts in this city is over. Judge Kel-
ley comes out of it right side up, the old
officers of the Fourth district, Messrs Sickel
and Barrett, being both retained in Office and
their rule extended over the Second district
in addition to their old domain. compro-
mise was effected in the choice of the officials
in the newly-consolidated First and Third
districts, the Collector of the former and the
Assessor of the latter being kept in Office, so
that Boice and Myers each get half loaf
Since these grave matters are settled, and
since the hearts of the country members are
gladdened by an abandonment of the scheme
for consolidating the country districts, the
Washington world will once more wag on
smoothly, and good citizens can retire to bed
in the comfortable assurance that the Union
is safe.

Missouri is great State for free fights,
political as we'll as personal, aud it appears
not unlikely that her politicians are about to
have one over the United States Senatorship.
The Democracy, who have a majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature of about four
teen votes, recently nominated as their can
didate blatant Frank Blair, and as several
good men and true, who have followed the
Democratic banner through sunshine and
storm, were set aside to crafty his ambi-
ton, there are many grumblings and growl-
ings among the true blues of the Democratic
camp. On the other hand the Republicans,
after having frittered away their strength by
foolish divisions, are beginning to see the
necessity of display of partisan wisdom, and
they are to hold caucus tonight, at which
candidate strong enough to carry off the
prize may possibly be nominated. 1t is to be
hoped that mutual Cancellation will lead to
the defeat of Blair. Everything by turns
and nothing long. he is one of the most
arrant demagogues and most dangerous poll
ticians il. the country, and his election to the
Senate would be little less than a national
calamity

IT rs RUMoRED that while the technical .rea-
son that Ahern is not brought to trial on the
charge of creating riot in the room occu-
pied by the Return Judges of the sOctober
election may be neglect to prefer charges in
the proper manner, the reason why such
charges are not preferred is that Ahern's trial
would lead to developments damaging to
SONS of the Republican politicians of this
city. Is it possible that this story is true?
If so, the public will be more anxious than
ever to learn how it is possible that Ahern,
the chosen favorite of the Fourth ward, could
have acted in harmony with, or in the interest
of, shining lights of the Republican organiza-
tion. This dark mystery should be cleared
mp. The present District Attorney has
shown that, in some instances at least he is
ready to enforce strict justice against men,
bers of his own party, and we do not see why
he should be over-mindful of the reputation
of any Repu blican politicians.

GOVERNOR GEARY claims credit for being
wonderfully virtuous in the exercise of the
pardoning power, and he has made great
parade of his readiness to take the public into
his counsels, and to inform them of the rea-
sons for which each pardon has been granted.
When this doctrine came to be applied, how
ever, to case that excited much interest in
this community-that of DR.. Landis-Geary
suddenly changed his base; all the accompa-
nying papers were placed beyond
the reach of our reporter, and un-
usual precautions were taken to withhold
the names and statements of the petitioners
from the public. If there had been really
good grounds for pardo n, the Governor
should have been glad to spread them before
the community, and to explain as fully as
possible how he came to overrule the judg-
ment of a Philadelphia Court and Philadel-
phia jury in regard to the character of pub
lication that had appeared in their midst.
The suppression of the pardon petition or
petitions in question, therefore, is strongly
indicative of conscious error.
