SKETCH OF WILLIAM B.
WASHBURN.

William b. Washburn, the gentle
man who has been elected senator of the
United States from Massachusetts,, is
the governor of the state which has
chosen, after long, serious and com
bative struggle, to give him the best
gift that the old Bay state can possibly
con}er-to fill the chair of Charles
Sumner. Three times this gentleman
was governor of Massachusetts,, and it
may be said that he has filed nearly
every political office of worth aud con
siderntion in the choice of tho people
Of the state. On the 3lst of January,
1920, William b. Washburn was born
in the town Of Winchendon, Mass.
Preparatory to entering college his
studies were pursued at the Groton
academy, and he graduated from the
university OF Yale with honors in the
year 1874, being then in his early
prime of life twenty-four years of age.
He was business man, and is to this
day engaged in aud interested in man
ufactures. Being left an orphan at an
early age his youth was one earnest
and persistent struggle for an sduca-
ton and livelihood. He has resided
for many years in Greenfield, Mass,
and was for heightened term presi-
dent of the Greenfield bank. In 1850
Mr.. Wasnburn entered political life,
and four years later he was sent to
the general assembly ofMassachnsetts.
In 1856, like all young and brilliant
men of his time, he was swept into the
the tide and became an ardent repub.
lican.
Senator Washburn was elected for
tho first time to congress in 1862, aud
then he was three times re elected. In
1871 Mr.. Washburn left his seat in
congress to become governor of the
commonwealth Of Massachusetts, de-
feating Gen. Butler for the republican
nomination. In the memorial contest
with Gen. B. r. Butler last year tho
subject Of this sketch was again NOM
mated, and, of coarse, elected. Per
sonally Senator Washburn has a fine
appearance-brcad brow, and wide,
hrm mouth, which is characteristic OF
all the Washburns. In private and pub.
lie life he bear. u stainles, remtstion
among the citizens of his state.

that rcceut Developments have war
rantcd his arrest. Olcott left this city
several months ago, and was last heard
from in LaSalle, Illinois.
Other rumors Of the same nature
have been in circulation, one going 20
far as to state that the wife of Mr.. o.
colt was under arrest, which IL utterly
false. The most singular feature Of
such rulnors, is the fact that Mr.. o.
colt is a wcll-known printer, and has
been at work in the various newspaper
offices In this and that section OF the
country during the entire time since
that murder was committed, and has
been ready and willing to meet the
charges preferred against him, we'll
knowing his ability to prove hi. inno-
ccnce.
Mr.. Olcott is now at work in this
office, and VIC arc authorized to state to
any officer of the law that they can
find him here at any time, and find
him able to prove his whereabouts on
the eventful night, and to show that it
was utterly impossible for him to have
had hand in the bloody deed. lie
also states that the rumor was started
by Miss Ginnis, formerly of Daven.
port, Iowa, but now of Toledo, Ohio, who
was once u sweetheart Of his, but is
now an enemy on account of disap-
pointment in "love affairs" and he
has every reason to believe that she
has started this rumor for the sole pur-
pose of gratifying her revenge At the
risk of his life. lie is ready to meet
his accusers at any time before the
proper tribunal.

self in his shell of reserve, but talks
quite as glitly on the question Of
finance as he docs horse. lie believes
that finance bill, such as he can sign,
will be framed and that as tie subject
had already been thoroughly discussed,
he did not think it would take much
time TO sgrec on o bill. His action on
the veto was based upon the good of
the whole country, and permanent
prosperity. lie had no fears of seri-
GUS party divisions on the financial
question, No the policy of the rcpubli-
can party was never to admit the pos.
sibility of reputation, and now after
the strain Of the war was over, it was
no time to countcnance any measure
sot looking towards resumption. He
thinks that in three years, even with
out additional legislation, he would be
able to approximate special payments.
The original senate bill, which pro-
vided for free banking and redemption
would have been satisfactory to him.
He speaks very hopefully--that is, a
great deal more than the people feel
we'll, l suppose we all should if we were
getting $50, 900 e gear salary.
THE NEW PROPOSITION.
The bill not being matured by the
Senate Finance committee will contain
among its more important provisions
free banking and redemption. The
free banking section will provide for
retirement of forty per cent Of legal
tenders in proportion rs the banking is
diminished to $500, 100000. 1t is
thought that specie resumption will be
fixed at four years hence. The House
currency bill will not be reported as
the House will in all probability accept
the new bill-including free banking.
THE VETO.
There will be somewhat of a SQUAD
BILE over the veto message which Sena-
Mortor will try to get up to day
which Senator Contling will oppose As
he thinks that every day will strength
en- the president whose especial mouth
piece he is on this question. He has
prepared an elaborate speech in defence
Of the veto. IF he had spest half az
much time on speech against the bill it
would not have passed, but then he
would not have placed Morton, his ri.
val for presidential smiles, 20 COM

GRANT ON THE FINANCES.
The president no longer hides him.
The New York herald., 1874-08-26

Political COURTESY IN the House of Com
mons appears to have been forgotten prior to
the prorogation. As stated by our London
correspondent, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
in spplauding Mr.. Disrael, only intended to
reproach Mr.. Gladstone, and Mr.. Gladstone
replied with a fierce you're another -
Disraeli acknowledged the compliments by de-
nouncing the Marquis of Salisbury, the pres
'ent conservative Secretary for India. This is
almost as iaughable as the BilEngsgate scene

and matters have gone on from bad to worse
until We are threatened with an exterminating
war of races. Every republican who has been
named as his possible successor was zealot
for the reconstruction measures which have
wrought such widespread mischief and threat
ening disasters in the South, aud the election
of any of these would portend anarchy and
bloodshed, reducing the Southern whites to
desperation and causing them to wreak their
vengeance on the negroes. The election of
an oid-iashioned democrat would be equally
unsettling 1t would lead to attempts
to pluck up the reconstruction measures
by the roots and set the country again in o
flame. What we need Is an administration of
great firmness and vigor, committed to neither
extreme, willing to redress abuses, inhexbly
maintaining the solid results Of the war and
bent on restoring the fraternal feeling which
has been so long interrupted between the
two great sections of the country General
Dix's high character and personal record in
the late agitatng controversies mark him,
above all others, as the man for the exigcncy.
1t cannot ls disputed that what is most
needed is man OF his type at the head
OF affairs, but We know not where
another is to be found who CON-
blnes SO many of the necessary quail
6cations. There is no other statesman
who has maintained his relations with the re-
publican party and continued to enjoy its con-
fdence whose views SO completely represent
the average patriotic sentiment of the country.
1t is too evident for dispute that peace and
prosperity must return, if not through him, at
least through some statesman like him. But
in going through the list of our prominent
public men where shall we find his equal
as a possible pacifcator in our national
troubles?
When Governor Dix shall have been tri-
umphantly reelected to his present Office the
question we have suggested will come up for
and if Grant is repudiated for
q third term our excellent Governor will
grow in favor as the strongest republican
candidate.

THAT TUE Idea OF THE THIRD TERN has
taken deep hold upon Southern political
thought seems evident in the correspondence
which we publish this morning. Many
minds, representative of the most conserva-
tive opinions, dating even before the icono-
clasm Of the war, are discussing the question
with an earnestness that foreshadows serious
action. The reconstruction which the white
people have suffered has made them des-
perate enough to seize upon an expedient
which, were they in the full enjoyment Of
what is called republican freedom, they would,
probably, angrily spurn.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS will hold a

Judging from our correspondence published
elsewhere to-day the democrats have deter
mined to make An impression at least and
will probably present a strong delegation;
but though the fervor of the party may be
strengthened by success in North Carolina and
elsewhere it is scarcely possible that their
ticket can be elected at the forthcoming cleo

ROBERT TooMBs. who appears like the
one living monument of the defunct Con.
federacy, has given to our interviewer his
views on the political issues of the present
time 1t may be a surprise to some people
that he should consent to come down out Of
the mournful haufeur of the past to look
upon the world as it is. But we find him eyi-
IDENTIFY engaged in very active thought on the
immediate future of the South, and eager to
advocate the election of President Grant for
third term. He represents the sentiment
which is growing with almost startling rapidity
in the reconstructed States. in the hope which
he builds upon this proposed >'new depar-
ture' The inveterate hostility which he
cherishes against the amendments to the con-
stitution, now virtually irrevocablc exhibits,
however, the bigoted cast of his mind and
lack of that scope of thought which is needful
in the modern popular leader who would ac-
complish the regeneration Of the South.

The CoNFLICTs BETWEEN THE NEGROES and
the whites in the South are receiving great
attention from the press and the politicians of
the country, and deservedly SO, for the ele-
ments of discord that perpetuate the constant
i'll feeling between the former slaves and the
planters will absorb the best intellect and
craftsmanship available for their eradication.
General g. A. Sheridan, in an interview which
we print to-day, presents some admirable com
mon sense ideas on the subject; but we should
have been better pleased had he shown n
little more leniency toward the oppressed
race. Would it not be wiser to utliza
the power and industry of the negro.
giving him such a share Of govern
ment as his progress in civilization NAV
warrant from time to time, instead of con-
stantly abusing and alternating him? That he
is power is fully shown by the success Of the
unscrupulous carpet-baggers, who have used
and kicked him just as occasion demanded
since the day of emancipation. A little more
liberation and sprinkIing of wisdom might
soon place him side by side with the whites in
their efforts to repair the damages of the war
and in building up the prosperity and increas
ing the influence of the South.
