1t turns out that Reverdy Johnson and ex-
attorney general Stanberry, made wild goose
chase Of their trip to the south to defend the
ku.klux prisoners and bring their cases to the
Supreme Court of the United States. A local
Dogberry decided that the cases being for
offenses committed before the ku-klux law
was passed, though tried under Its provisions,
were not intractions of that law and were
not, therefore, appealable to the supreme
court Of the U. S.

Glutted with power at an age when men gener-
ally are still porting ever school books or learning
some vocation, this extraordinary specimen OF
American opportunities in time of political
chaos has already had an epic career, and lives
in much lonely life-the loss of youth poorly
compensated for by premature dominion. His
courage, mental and physical, has been fully

be elected Governor of the State. The impeach

American Ship Building.

q M. Boutwell, has at lenght yielded so far
to the popular "clamor' against the decay of
American Ship building on account Of the ex-
actions of the swndling tariff, that he con-
ccdes that something on the subject must
be done by congress. He maintains, how
ever, that the removal of duties on all arti-
ccs entering into iron ship-bulding, or an
allowance Of a drawback equal to the amount
OF duty paid, will not secure the re-establsh-
ment Of the business. He advises the passage
OF law guaranteeing to persons who may
employ in the foreign trade American. built
first class iron steamships of not less than
1900 tons burden each, an annual payment
Tor the period OF five years of the sum of $l3
a ton and subsidy proportlonately less to
vessels CT lower Classification" This Is the
old story. Take the money out of the treas.
ury and encourage ship building by subsidy,
so that the iron. monSers of Pennsylvania
lose none of their enormous stealings through
the tariff IT it is right to subsdise ship
builders and iron masters, why is 1t not right
also to subsidise wheat and corn growers,
pork raiscrs, &c. ? 1t is something, how
ever, to have Boutwell, uneasy on the subject.

LYMAN TRUMBULL FOR PRESIDENT. The
New York Sun, one of the leading anti Grant
republican organs, has long leader advo-
eating the nomination of Lyman Trumbull by
the conservative republicans. as candidate
for the presidency, in opposition to Grant.
The Snn argues, and We think correctly, that
with Trumbul as the candidate, on the anti
tariff robbery, anti-land stealing and anti
corruption generally platform, with all his old
sound democratic constitutional views, he
would be supported not only by all the honest
men in the republican party, but by the
democratic party in a body. Mr. Trumbull,
we heard distinguished Washington lobby
list say year ago, IS one of five members
OF the Senate whom the lobbyists and cor
ruptionsts never dare to approach. He
has been IN the Senate II years, lives plainly
and economically and yet is comparatively a
poor man.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srr.I

WASHINGTON, d. c., March II.
WHY THE SENATE SHOULD HASTEN TIE
TARIFF BILL.
Senator Sumner intends 10 press his tariff bill
in the senate tomorrow, and he hopes TO pass it
during the week. One of the arguments urged
in favor of its immediate consideration is the
anxiety Of the public to learn what the senate
will do in regard to the tea and coffee bill now
beloreit The action OF the senate on the bill
before it will be regarded here as indicating all
the tariff reform which can be got this session.
While the action of the ways and means COM
mittee and the house will be interesting, yet it
is not Of great Importance for the senate is
master of the position.
EX-CoLLECTOR MURPHY
Has been here for some days in attendance
upon the custom house investigation. He has
the airs and manners of L jovial fellow, and is
surrounded by scores Of friends. lie is still
quite popular among the New York republicans
and is cordially received by the president. His
evidence yesterday was given promptly, and
his statement is generally considered to be
satisfactory defence Of Gen Grant.
A LACK OF INTEREST IN CIVIL SERVICE RE
FORM.
Next Wednesday is set apart in the house for
the consideration of the civil service reform.
The prospect of the adoption of any effective
measure is very poor. The committee having
charge of the subject have not been able to get a
quorum at any meeting since the house set
apart day for them; and there seems to he no
special interest in any quarter on the subject
An attempt will be made Wednesday morning
to obtain action upon some bill before the COM
mttee, so that it can make an intelligent rec
ommendation TO the house.
WHAT SENATOR Upton PROVED.
Senator Upton has been engaged in mischief
making at Cincinnati. The statement that Mr.
Sumner has agreed to preside over the reform
convention is false, and Tipton's statements in
regard to Mr.. Dawes and Mr. Garfield were en-
tirely uuwarranted. Neither of them have even
intimated a purpose to bolt the Philadelphia
convention, and Upton has proved himself an
eggregious ass in talking such stuff toia Gin
cinnati reporter. Both Dawes and Garfield
are known here to favor thorough reform in
side their party They have no sympathy with
the clique which has made war upon Sumner
and Trumbull, but they are also known as thor
ough- going republicans who propose TO act in
the presidential campaign with their party
friends They both say that they have no sym
pathy with the Cincinnati movement
