The convention of the German Editorial
Association, at Terre Haute, has taken issue
with those who favor the Baxter Bill and its
enforcement. A number of speakers, prom
inent among the German editorial fraternity,
and others outside, in their addresses are
seemingly unanimous in their declarations
against the encroachment of the Baxter law
upon the personal freedom, liberty of
trade, etc., of the citizens. The reso-
buttons adopted declare against the as.
sisting of any candidate who favors the
present proscriptive form of the temper
ance law, or who advocates "more strin-
gent restrictions" They further resolved
to use all their influence in favor of the or
ganization which most nearly repre-
sents their views aud desires, and that
pledges itself to abolish or modify the
Baxter law. They also own license law
that permits reasonable use of beverages in
respectable places &c. The movement by
the ladies in the temperance movement was
credited by the speakers as being sincere
though ill-advised. That while temperance
was advocated, total abstinence was, in fact.
being enforced, or attempted to be enforced.
The restriction, the dscrees as to what or
how much liquor, men must or must not
drink, was the feature of the temperance
movement, most condemned. Temperance.
but not total. abstinence, license and some
liberty, but not prohibition, seemed to be
the sentiment prevailing.

Those only who nave q PERSONAL recollect-
of the anti-slsvery struggle in its infancy
can fully appreciate the inspiration given to
the cause by Charles Sumner. To his first
orations against slavery delivered In Fa-
neuil Hall he added to the fervor of youthful
pathos all the exact orator. and classic fin
| ish which belonged to the schools. He was
eloquent for freedom with all the. fire ofthe
revolution, but the polish of his alb
solutely perfect rhetoric captivated
! the thinker as il moved the
politician. Students seized upon his
classics as a happy substitute for the ora
lions OF Pitt and Burke IN their declamatory
flights upon the rostrum. But the abolition
lists, race OF radicals accustomed to SCOTS
and ignominy, lifted their heads with pride
in so brilliant an advocate. Never in all
his history did Sumner receive a more
hearty and grateful admiration than in those
early days of championship for the truth as
held by a small but radical band of dis
cipIes. He was not only a statesman in
the best sense, but a shining example of
pure scholarship. He added to the perfect
oratorical graces of Howard Everett, pro-
founder classic taste and thorough discip-
line in genuine study. 1t is remarkable to
find in his political speeches such care of
preparation, such a wealth of ancient learn
ing and rigid compliance with scholastic
rules. He is in truth the last of American
statesmen in the public councils
who can claim to recognize the prin-
ciples of literary excellence founded on
the classic models in political debate. There
may be left in the halls of congress men
we'll read in current literature, but scholar
of the genuine type, not oneis to be found
to equal the dead states nan. Sumner was
an intelligent patron of the fne arts. His
admiration of artistic work had no bounds.
Sculpture and painting aroused an enthusi- |
asm which he took no ipains to conceal. 1t
is web worthy of note that these fine and
cultured tastes of his youth did not forsake |
him in the rough conflicts of political life, |
and the changes of old age.
The pen of the journalist has been called in
play too frequently of late in the yoeful |
work. to admit of proper tribute to tia last |
great soul that is passed from sight, but
when the proper time comes, the INSPIRED |
hand that takes up the task, will hav, |
record to trace, a career to illustrate, fairy
matchless for grandeur of purpose, constancy
Of endeavor, and nobility of conduct, in al
the annals of great heroes, generals or states
men. When the proper time comes and the
story is adequately told, Charles Sumner
will stand as the type of the noblest Ameri-
can of his generation-a Washington in
purity, Luther in tervor, Cromwell in
persistence and greatness of soul-a man
beyond the Hottest ideal of public virtue.

Mr.. Murat Halstead, has gone to the alto
gether unnecessary pains to write state
ment explaining the malice of his enemies
in persistently misconstruing the action OF
the Ohio legislature in dealing with his tss-
timony in the lottery bill. He had we'll
grounded suspicion that money was being
used by lottery men and newspapers to de-
feat bill which abolished the lot
terry business root and branch. He gave
expression to those suspicious, and in the
fulness of time he was summoned before
a legislative committee for examination.
His testimony was explicit, to the point, and
convincing to any one who had vision I'M
clouded by malignancy or money. OF course
a legislative committee opposed to Mr.. Hal
stead politically and personally, would
be apt to see nothing in his testimo-
ny. and. it was no surprise when they so
SO reported. The citizens OF Ohio who have
watched the Commercials course, were
not deluded, however, and the almost
instant passage OF the bill after Mr.. Hal
stead's exposure, was sufficient to attest
the correctness of this suspicion. OF course
his enemies might ring the changes on tbs-
finding of the committee. That was to 20 ex-
pected. The Washington rjng orgsn-in-chief
took up the tale and mat seems to have
worried Halstead int response-showing
the facts as they ware. Mr. Halstead is too
old Journalist to be stung by these in
finitely small creatures. Mr.. Halstead is
by nc means perfect man or model edi.
tor, but his worst enemy can not charge ven-
sliy, corruption, or sympathy with either,
upon him. 1t is rather an honor than other
wise to be "branded" by such venial cattle as
make up the average legislature, and the
best thing Mr.. Halstesd can do is to let his
enemies gable unchecked.

AT HIS HOME.

THE LEGISLATURE OF MAssACHIsEPTs
Boston, March 12.-Neither branch of the
Massachusetts, legislature transacted any
business to-day, On the assembling of the
senate a message was read from. the gov
ernor, announcing the death OF Senator Sum-
ner, and paying al eloquent tribute to his
memory. The message concludes assfollows:
Gentlemen, you'must derive unspeakable
satisfaction at this hour in your

Tive to the army register and the

TO his moral feelings, contrary to the strin-
gent discipline OF the Wing party.
Again Mrs. Stowe says:
And now came the great battle Of the fugi-
tive slave law The sorceress slavery medi-
tated a grand coup d. etat that should found
a southern Slave empire, and shake off the
troublesome north, and to that intent her
agents concocted a statute 50 insulting to
northern honor, so needlessly offensive i'm
its provisions, so derisive Of what were un-
derstooa to be its religious convictions and
humane sentiments, that it was thought
verify, "The north never will submit to this,
and we shall make here the breaking point. +"
Then arose Daniel Webster, the lost archan-
gel of New England-he who hadswon her
confidence by his knowledge of and revsr-
ence for all that was most sacred in her, and
moved over to the side of evil! 1t was as IL
great constellation bad changed sides in,
the heavens, drawing after 1t third part Of
the stars. The north, perplexed, silenced
troubled, yielded for moment For a briet
space all seemed to go down before that
mighty influence, and all listened. rs if SPELL
bound, to the serpent voice with which he
scoffed at the idea that there was a law OF
God higher than any law or constitution Of
the United States. But that moment of deg.
radiation was the last. Back came the healthy
blood, the re-awakened pulse of moral feel.
ing in New England, and there were found
voices on all sides to speak for the right and
hearts to respond, and ON this tide of re
awakened moral feeling, Sumner was car
ried into the United States Senate, to take
the seat vacated by Webster. The right was
not vet victorious, but the battle had turned
so far that its champion had a place to stand
on in the midst of the FRAY. And what
battle was that, What an ordeal, What
