prove. that Senator Schurz has done
rs much to perpetuate corruption in
the civil service as any man in the
Senate with the single exception of
Mr. Fenton, who was born, as it were,
to the trade. In the State Depart
ment alone Mr.. Shurz has recon-
mended over tatry persons to Office !;
in the Interior Department he has
recommended over thirty-s six persons,
of whom tgelve were appointed, and
nine are now in office-three having
been removed or resigned. One was
dismissed for drunkenness-another

to be regarded as q sincere reformer

1t is very fortunate for the nation
that John Sherman is to be retained
i'll the Senate. He is one of the few
great statsmen Of the country. He is
not yet fifty years of age, but be has
been in public life 80 long that he is a
veteran. His first appearance was as
member OF the Thirty foCrth Con-
gress. He served eight years in the
lower House of Congress. He was a
recognized leader Of the Republican
wing during the last years of his ser
vice. For about two months that
hody did nothing but fight over his
election to the Speakership. 1t was
the most exciting and protracted per
sonal contest ever waged in Congress
tfor it finally became more personal
than political). In the Senate Mr..
Sherman has not been frequent de
batter, but always speaks to the point,
and occasionally makes a mastery
effort. He never deals in SPLENDID
geuerallties. There is not q more
practical member OF the Senate than
The senior Senator from Ohio. He
's now serving his second term.
This third election shows that his
constituents appreciate his worth

A Game That Did Not Win.

Among the multifarious devices OF
the Democratic leaders Of the one
part, and of NJ. ASHLEY of the Sec
ond part, was the defeat of SHERMAN
by an appeal to the prejudices of ma
tionality, in asking Messrs MARK, OF
Lucas, and OEsTERLEN, of Hancock,
to desert their party in order to elect
HAssAUREK, German. But the lit
tie game did not win, those gentlmen
not being SO easily "cotched with
moldy corn" They were elected as
Republicans, end no appeal were
sufficient to move from them their
fidelity. They at no time fell in with
the shallow sophistries Of which
played out party eacks would seduce
the weak minded into the sham "re-
FORM" which meant nothing less than
the destruction of the Republican
party, if necessary to their personal
ends. For such fidelity, both the
Lucas Representatives are to be re-
membered.-Toledo Commercial.

Pietro Cuneo, ESQ, of the Wyandot Co
Republican, made a most witty, sensible
and happy response, and put the audi
ence in the best possible humor.
Mr.. PRESIDENT. LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN:
rise to respond to this toast with
much embarrassment, because | senSibly
feel that a native would be much more
suitable person to advocate the rights of
adopted citizens.
The toast implies that there still ex-
lists some opposition and prejudice TO our
citizens of foreign birth.
l am right glad to know, however.that
proscriptive sentiments towards them
are entertained but by very few gentle
men of influence In this country.
Why, sir, the very idea of prescribing
men because of their birth, over which
they Trad no control and for which they
can in no wise be held responsible, Is to
my mind, intensely barbarous.
Our adopted citizens are not exacting
or unreasonable. In becoming citizens
of the United States they frankly re-
nounce all allegiance to tseir mother
country and assume the duties and re-
sponsibllities of American citizens: and
these should also include all the rights
and immunities enjoyed by the Natives.
These adopted citizens have been
power in developing the resources OF
this country. They bring with them

Such for instance as the story oi

So mnch for the theory-but prac-
tictllv speaking doubt if any of US
are prepared to saw il works just in
that wav as a general thing. As of
ten g. any other way, the law oper-
ates as a shield to The wrong doer.
and a sword to the honest citizen.
In other words in law the knave walks

Iu the primitive days laws were few
and simple, enacted by our Fathers to

aud judicial impartiality. Then it
was, that the law. enacted and admin

shield and a sword in the sense un
derstood by the language of the
toast Just read.

vanced in material wealth and pros
