We had q conversation with prominent
Democratic politician in this State yes
r terday, and were much amused to see
how he had searched the records to find
something by which to recommend Judge
Davis and claim him as Democrat. He
succeeded, too. Judge Davis was the
Judge of the Supreme Court who give the
decision in favor of "Son-of-Liberty"
Milligan in 1854. This act alone will en-
dear him to the hearts of Indiana De-
mocrats, no matter how radical he may
be in other respects. Defend the 'Sons
of Liberty'' and democrat will love you
as brother.
The liberal Republicans will leave this
choice bit out of their speeches and will
praise Mr.. Davis for his vote on the bench
against the late legal tender decision.

We have a Few applicant for state
privileges. Another star wishes to come
out of the territorial milky way and shine
with added lustre, among the planets of
our Union system. Utah had special
election on the 18th inst, by which new
constitution and state organization were
adopted. Itprohibits polygamy aud forti-
fes the prohibition by enactments which
look like good faith. The chief objection
to the new instrument is that the principle
of the secret ballot was excluded, by NOR
mon influence, and also it in reduces
female suffrage. The ''Gentiles' think
this is legalizing the Harems in new way
and refraiued from any participation in
the convention or election. There is no
probability that the state will be admit
ted. The population is insufficient and
there is strong opposition in and out Of
Congress to any more "rotten pocket
boroughs."

The other evening we listened to Bay
ard Taylor lecture about Schiller and his
poetry. Mr.. Taylor is thought to be one
ofour finest German scholars; is profound
ly learned in the literature of the lam
guage; while his love for Schiller animates
him throughout the lecture, provoking
him to all the more thoroughly do justice
to his subject. As predatory to his special
theme, the poetry of Schiller, he gave US a
succiuct history of the poets early days;
his poverty and obscurily; his studies, suf-
ferings, wanderings about the country;
his distress and want in Mannheim; his
meeting with Wieland and Goethe. and
then his subsequent success, Led by the
