VEDN ESDAY, APRIL l, 1874.
MASSACHUSETTS, SENATORSHIP.

The people of the Bay State are at
present agitated over the question of
eIectins successor to the late Charles
Hammer. Last week the legislature was
.<.upied in balloting for Senator but
~ithout arriving at any definite result
II the matter The candidates voted
ar were Dawes, Hoar, Curtiss, Adams
ssd Banks. Dawes led on all the
sailots, Hoar standing next with Cur
ISIS not far behind Hoar. The Butte r
slug Of the Republican party is sup
7esed to be represented by Dawes,
Guile Hoar is looked upon as the an
Il .onist of the Butterflies in Massa-
shusetts politics. 1t is now looked
t7on as absolutel y certain that neither

I'm be elected, and that new man
sill have to be brought forward
PARTY politics appear to be badly split
u Massachusetts,, but we trust that
through divisions the object sough'
% be attained will notIbe lost, namely,
he election of a worthy successor to
Charles Sumner.

time since in the House Of Represen-
tati7es by the notorious Fernando
Wood, of New York, making speech
In which he arranged the Republics an

dishones. practices generally. How
long ago is it since Fernando was trans
formed into an Angel of light, and be.
came SO capricious for justice, honesty

to wander back many years before We
find that this same Fernando Wood

A SPURIOUS PRELATE.
A WeEr-Wfgh Forgotten Case Of

A few weeks ago there died at Spoleto,
Italy. a man who at one time success.
fully deceived pope Of Rome, and scan
dalized the whole Roman Catholic
church. His name was Abraham Cash
Jour, and be was an Egyptian Copt. The
son of fruit peddler of Cairo, he was
brought to Italy and educated at College
of the Propaganda. Here be gave out
that his father was of immense wealth
and great influence with the Egyptian
vicerov. and that If be 1.-THE SOM were
made patriarch Of the Catholic Copts,
the schimatic Copts would in q mass
abjure their schism and return to the
told Of the true church. Leo XII, who
was then the pope, was deceived by
this report, consecrated the young
Csshiour as patriarch, installed
him in elegant apartments, and
provided him with all the surroundings
suitable to his new rank. The patrician
received cardinals, patrieians, and EN-.
bassadors, while the people crowded
around his carriage 10 kiss his out

ever. that the new patriarch was very

evidently enjoying the homage he was

he had shown to the pope, as coming to
him from Egypt, were written on ponti-

ed, the pope appointed a priest, Canes

Cashiour, seeing that his star was be-

Well, we are surprised that our co.

ing the.State debt when it was so anxious
to ppeserye the credit and honor of Ten
nessee about year ago. 1t is news about
here If merchants are in the habit OF
compromising with their creditors ex-
cept through a bankruptcy court, after
they have failed and surrendered all
their assets. This the city has not done.
She has levied and collects one dollar on
the hundred to pay the interest tax, and
is forbidden by Law to divert 1t to any
other purpose. Taxpayers must pay IN
currency. The city proposes to shave Its
own indebtedness as low as the neees-
sites of coupon holders will force the
market price. II this is a sound policy
to engraft upon our city government, 1t
will apply equally as well TO any other
species of Indebtedness, and even the
6remen and police force might be in
vited to name the lowest price they would
take for their unpaid back salaries. 1t
would. however, be out of order 10 apply
the rule to higher officials, since they are
elected for given time and salary, but
next year, when the municipal election
comes on, it would be q good card to
advertise thirty days for sealed propos-
ais to fill the Office of Chief of Police,
Tax Collector, Mayor. Comptroller, ETC.,
at the lowest price, provided the lowest
applicant would be elected, which of
course he would be. This would develop
q host of patriots. bat the number of
people who delight in paying the inter-
est tax in currency is comparatively
small, and still smaller is the number
who cheerfully submit to shave IN
their coupons in the manner proposed.

annually paid. From $5OO,OOO to $780,
600 is collected on privileges, so that the
total revenue derived by the State from
these sources, taking the largest estl-

to 81, SOC, 600, so that after its payment a
