Death of Judge Chase.

The whole country is in profound sor-
row at the sudden death of Chief JUS
tice CHASE. He was the last survivor OF
Tie trio, GRErtEy, SEWARD and CHASE,
who founded the Republican partNall of
whom withdrew their confidence frcm
that party previous to their death
With less diplomatic shrewdness than
SEWARD, less aggressive than GREELEY
lie was perhaps more stable AMI pre-
found statesman than either of them
He distinguished himself as Governor
and as Senator, but more especially as
Secretary of the Treasury. Though his
financial policy has been sharply criti
cised, It is not certain that any other
man in the country, under the same cir
cumstances, would have been equally as
successful.
1t may fairly be doubted whether Mr.
CHASE was one Of the very first lawyers
in the Union, bat he bad an eminently
judicial mind and a strong sense of jus
tice which gave to his decisions grea
weight. These added to his superior
dignity of character admirably fitted hin
for the place of Chief Justice.
His integrity was above reproach, ane
he lived and died Christian.

Constitutional Convention.

The leading questions before the Con-
stitutional Convention, which meets this
week at Columbus, are likely to be the
following:
l. A radical change in the judiciary
system. A proposition to have one judge
in each county, abosishins the Probate
Court and creating an appellate district
court, meets with much favor.
2. The license or no license question
in regard to the sale of liquors. 1t is
uncertain what shape this may assume,
but it will be one of the most exciting
and troublesome subjects with which
that body will have to deal.
3 A clause comforting the veto power
on the Governor will have many sup
porters, but whether a majority or not is
uncertain.
4. There vii! be some agitation Of the
proposal to admit negro children into
the common schools. II is not probable
that any party dare take the responsible
ity of this measure.
5. There will be strong,a and we trust
successful effort to limit the powers and
privileges OF railroad monopolies. No
other institution in this country is q
source of 50 much political corruption
as powerful railroad interest.

Responsibility for the Salary
Steal.

The State Journal insists that the Re
publican party is no more responsible
for the "salary steal" than it is for the
smallpox.
The Journal, in defending its party ,
overstates its case. If the Republicans
had done no more to aid that theft than
they did to spread the smallpox, that
.heft never could have been perpetrated.
A Congress having an overwhelming Re
publican majority passed the salary bill,
and President, just endorsed by that
party, approved it.
Nor viii it convince so"er minded
men thar the Republicans have no re
sponsibility in the matter because some
Democrats voted for it. II the Repub-
lican members had opposed the bill, or
if GRANT had opposed the bill, it would
have never become law. The retort TO
this is, That if all the Democrats had vo-
ted against it, 1t would not have passed
This may OF may not be true ;hut whcth
er true or not,it does not relieve the Re
puhli,ans from all responsibility.

Colonel j. IsCariOt, and Where Ee
Made His Mistake.

In appropriating $4,000 to themselves
from the Treasury our Congressman did
but enlarge the prerogative of the peo-
ble's Representatives They might have
taken more than they did. They might
have taken Washington's old breeches
from the Patent Office. They might have
taken the Washington Monument-but
they did't. Some people will continue to
complain Of them, but we are mute from
this moment. We apologize to the whole
human race, for everything. As a rash
and blinded Sunday School scholar we
may have spoken disrespectfully OFF. Is
CARROT. The experience of the last six
months shows that Mr. Iscariot may have
been gentleman who was much misun-
derstood by the people of the period
Some Scribe probably placed the thirty
pieces of silver where he thought they
would do the most good, and when poor
Judas found that he had bought into a
lawsuit Hon. P Plate, Chief Justice,
he went and hung himself. That was
where he made mistake. He ought to
have sent the money down to the Caper-
naum Female Seminary and then appeal
ed TO the generous confidence of con-
stituency with whose feelings and interest
every throb Of his heart beat in unison
The editor of the Galileean Telegram
would have made very nice thing OF
that, and the Hon j. Iscariot would have
been one of the most prominent candi
dates at the next election.

last for years without decisive result
for either party.

The effort to establish Republican

revolt.

it. The case is peculiarly unpleasant,no not

RUSSIA.
The Expedition Against the Kha..
Of Khiya.
Herald Special. i


Sr. PETERSBURG, May B.-The Khan
of Khiva has sent Emhassadors to Rus
sian post No. l, at the mouth of the
river Japartes. with authority to accept
any terms Kaufman, the Russian COM
mander, may prescribe.
Gen. Kaufman has not seen these
men las they went to the fort by differ
ent route from that by which the Rus
SLAMS are advancing,thcy did not encoun-
ter the column, consequently there is no
change in the plan vet, nor a cessation
of operations. 1t appears the Khan Is
disposed to give ample guarantees for
the future.
Khirghese, with this intelligence, have
been sent from Post No. l to overtake
the column from that place and meet the
column from Taskend The Khan's dis
position to come TO terms will, therefore,
be known by Kaufman by the 1st OF
| May A favorable termination Of the
expedition may be looked for by the end
of May. The Khan is acting, it is re
ported, on English advice, and liberated
and sent to Pos. No. twenty-one Rus
slams hitherto held as slaves in his do.
minions. Some of them have died since
their arrival from the horrible treatment
they received while in slavery.
1t is supposed that the Khan hopes to
soothe the Russian temper, hut it is a
mistake on his part to furnish, just now
this terribly exciting illustration of bar
barism and cruelty. Other Russians are
known to be still in slavery at Orenburg
The column was moving sfrom Emba
to Kumgrad by land and water, though
very much embarrassed by excessive
snow. 1t has probably reached its DIES
tnation by this time. The Khan thus
treats with the Russians at his gates, ant
he has no right to expect better term'
than if the city was actually taken.

Important to Pensioners.

WAsHINGroN,D. G., May 5-The Com
missioner of Pensions to-day announced
the following highly important ruling:
Section 9 Of the act of March 3, 1873,
provides no addition to the two dollars
increase of pension in any case. Its a
consolidation Of section 2 of the act of
July, 1866, and sections and of the
act of July 27, 1868, with an amendment
to the former sections so as to give the
same increase to the widow of a soldier
or sailor for the children by a former
wife, as for the children by herself, and to
the widow OF an officer as well as SOL
dier or sailor. 1t also gives the increase
to all children under sixteen years Of age
of officers as we'll rs soldiers and sailors,
instead of all but one where there is no
widow, or where she has died or remained
single. In other respects it embodies the
provisions of the three sections named.

responsible because some Democrats
voted for the bilL II then follows that
the Democrats are not responsible be-
came some Republicans voted for it
The inevitable conclusion being that the
treasury has been wfohged out of the
money, and 70 party to blame This is
absurd
But the people hold, aud rightly hold,
the majority party in Congress chiefly
responsible for its acts. And the knowI-
edge o. this fact is one of the most pow.
erful restraints which operate upon Il
Congressman. Somebody is respons.
ble: it cannot be the minority: it must
he the majority.
| Furthermore. when any act is passed
ty Congress. or ine of policy pursued
by Department, which becomes popu-
lar, the Republican press eagerly rushes
in to claim the credit for the Republican
party, and urge it rs reason for con.
tinuing the Republican party in power.
! II their claim in this case is valid, then
! it is perfectly Legitimate to charge upon
that party Che oAious and disreputable
acts of Congress and of the Depart
ments, and To urge these as reasons why
that party should not be continued in
power.
Bat still graser charge is justly made
against that party. 1t has had control
Of the General Government, and OF
lnearly all the State Governments, for a
dozen years, and it is responsible for the
general laxity Of morals among politi'
clans and officials
If that party, which alone had the
power, had held every evil-doer to strict
accountability, not only the salary steal,
but a thousand other robberleS and
frauds would have been prevented. II
was knowledge Of the fact that few OF
the rogues were tried, fewer still convic
ted, and nearly all convicts pardoned
that gave the plunderers feeling o
safety, and licensed them TO pillage.-
| Fer this state Of affairs it is impossible
for the Republican leaders TO shirk th'
responsibility.

cans can make is, that the Democratic
party was little to blame, and the Re
publican party very great deal Il

POLITICIAN NOTES.

That sagaeious statesman, Alexander
Caldwell, of Kansas, refuses to say wheth-
er or not heis candidate for reelection
20 the United States Senate. In response
to recent inquiry he said: 81 do not
propose to commit myself. l shall not
trammel my future action by present dec.
larations Mr.. Colfax learned the folly
ofthat course when defeated for the nom.s
ination for the Vice Presidency"
Concerning the proposed pardoning of
the notorious Indian chiefs, Santanta and
Big Tree, the Galveston (Texas) News
says: "'The rumor that Gov. Davis is in
clined to accede to the request of Presi.
dent Grant to the effect of extending a
pardon to these Indian marauders and
murderers has excited very natural and
general feeling of disappointment. not to
say, disgust throughout the State.''
A Republican newspaper in Missouri,
keeps this paragraph standing at the head
of. it's editorial columns: "We are unable
as yet to reportthat the Hon. E E. Ha.
vens, member of Congress from the With
District, refuses to receive the back pay
unjustly voted by Congress" There is
doubtless one man in Missouri who con:
siders this unpleasantly pointed. =
Gifts of Congressional back pay are
not being received with enthusiastic ex.
pressions of gratitude from any quarter

plica ell gentleman: AS TO the fact that
the Kansas Pacific Railroad was obliged
to give Mr.. Harlan $4,000 before he
could be prevailed upon to issue the COM
pany its bonds, justly due. there are four,
perhaps five, men in this country now
