WORCESTER
WEDNESDAY. APRIL "a. 1879,
AboY, .Unto Ciuciunn,,. ;,


The liberal people who are going on mis-
sion to Cincinnati, appear to be not very well
agreed in anything save opposition 10 Gen.
Grant; and this opposition itself has various
degrees of force and activity. Some of them de-
clare openly that their chief purpose is to "kill
the republican party, whether Grant shall be
nominated or not" Others go 10 Cincinnati f'to
consult and consider the situation" without
pledging themselves to anything; these are not
likely 10 be much charmed by what they will
see. The leading managers of the movement
expecI 10 see themselves at the head of the dem
oeratic party, which is TO disband for their
special convenience, and deliver over all its
voters into their hands, The most serious
troubles Of these liberals will begin as soon as
their mass meeting adjourns. The democrats
have smiled upon them, pped to them with be.
witching sweetness, counseed them, and done
everything possible to fill them with the most
Intoxicating inspiration of delusive hope. When
they come to the business of realizing their eX-
peetation that the democratic party will eagerly
submit 10 their dctation, some very grand leats
OF bowling may be expected.
This trouble is already coming in sight. Some
of the leading organs of their democratic allies
are beginning 10 tell them that they must

its support. For instance, the Washing

convention will meet, aud it will present candi
dates regularly" and eff the idea is entertained
that anu nominations made at Cincinnati will
be adopted bv the national democracy. il can
not be dismissed 100 soon. for if is doomed 10
certain and bitter disappointment" The New
York World. which has talked like an organ of
the movement while protesting not TO interfere
with it, now begins to warn and lecture. Ittells
the liberals plainly that they must nominate
men who are acceptable to democrats. if they
expeet democrats to support them. Either
democrats or men who left the republican party
in the days of Andrew Johnson would be most
acceptable, of course, among the latter being
Judge Davis and Charles Francis Adams. But
this is not all. They must honor the democratic
party itself, vote down its enemies, and treat it
with distinguished consideration. The World

BOSTON, April 49,
The senate, which from the first has shown
conf dence in its committees, retains its re-
spect in their conclusions TO an extraordinary
degree. The result is that there is little use.
less debate in that honorable body and with
rare exceptions the committees reports are
promptly ratified. To-day the bill which makes A
new arrangement ofall the congressional districts
was put through its several readings with great
dispatch, the rules being suspended for the pur
pose. The only change made in the bill as
printed by yon this week, was the transfer of
Lunenburg from district to district 10, which
was done on motion of Senator Torrey of Fitch.

trict 10 to district II was lost and then the bill
was ordered to be engrOssed and sent at once to

The official reporter of a court in Mobile has
contrived a new plan of verbatim reporting,
which he thinks has some great advantages over
that now in use, especially in that it does not
require proficient in photography and avoids
the delay involved in copying out the short
hand notes for the printer. By his system the
reporters five in number, sit in a room adjoin-
ing that where the proceedings to be reported take
place. An assistant in the presence of the speak
ers communicates with the reporters by a system
of tubes and repeats the matter to be reported
into the several tubes successfully, giving to each
writer at a time only so much as he can easily
carry in his mind while he writes it out in full
The paper used is so arranged and PACED that
the several sheets Joined together make a con-
tinuous record of the matter TO be reported,
which, so far as written, is at once ready for the
printer. The entire report of a long trial Or of
an eXtemporaneous speech may thus without
difficulty be published within a few minutes
after its Conclusion. The inventor has had his
tubes put into the court house at Mobile and,
according to the latest account we have seen,
was about to make practical test of his sys-
TEN, which had previously been used only by
way of experiment at his own house.

We notice that the people of the Portland
district, Maine, are beginning to talk about
their next congressional election, and that
the talk relates chiefly to new candidates. In
fact it appears to be the eagerness of several
new men TO secure the nomination, which has
brought on the discussion. But why talk of
new men? Why not reuominate and re-elect
Mr.. Lynch? He is an excellent representative,
every way irreproachable, and now qualified to
render the district much better service than any
new man who can be selected. If representa-
ton IN congress had been devised merely to
satisfy personal claims and ambitions, and en-
able certain gentlemen in each district to "take
turns" at the honor it is supposed to confer, we
could see reason for perpetual changes of rep
resentation. But representation in congress
means something very different from this,
something with which the intrigues of personal
ambition should have nothing to do.

Texas papers report that Santanta, the noto-
rous Indian chief, now in the penitentiary of
that state with Big Tree, under life sentence
for the murder of citizens of Texas, has made
proposition TO Governor Davis, which, it is said,
the governor may possibly accept. Santanta
represents that he is the head chief of nine
tribes, the subordinate chiefs of some OF which
are his own sons. Bic Tree is the chief of the
Kiowas, one of the tribes in Santanta's confed-
Grafton. The proposal is TO leave Big Tree be-
hind as a hostage while SaDtanta goes, with
such guard or escort as the governor chooses to
send with him, to all his tribes. He engages
that they will, at his command, surrender all
the captives they now hold without ransom, re
tire to any reservation selected b, the govern
ment and keep the peace hereafter. Santanta
says that he has now seen the power of our gov
eminent and knows that it is foolish to quarrel
with 1t. Frontiersmcn, who have hunted San
tanta and been hunted by him alternately for
many years past, are said to represent that,
though he is willy and cruel, he can be trusted
TO fulfill his deliberate engagements, and there
is, therefore, some disposition to accept his pro-
posal from which, if he acts in good faith, much
good may follow, while not much would be lost
if he should fail to perform his agreement.
