DeIanO's Dilemma.

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette,
The Star, this CFriday) afternoon, makes
the following announcement regarding the
matter:
at is stated to-day that Secretary De-
lanO will retire from the Cabinet next
week, not from any cause arising out of the
recent publications, but in accordance with
a desire TO retire to private life, expressed
to the President two months ago. The
name Of Henry 7. Blow, Of Missouri, is
mentioned as his probable successor"
Among names in circulation, tonight,
in connection with the Interior Depart
ment, are those of Messrs. Hale, Of Maine,
Gen. CoWen, and Henry I. Blow, Of St.
Louis, and Gen. Besle, Of the present Dis
trict Commission.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
The agitation Of the subject in the press
is likely to have the effect of strengthening
Delano as an old friend in the Presidents
esteem, and to confirm Delano in his resO-
luton to remain in the Cabinet. Mean
while the painful stories concerning John
Delano, the Secretary's son, appear to be
only too true. There can be no doubt that
John DelanO has been engaged in jobs of
all sorts; that he has attempted TO black
mail contractors; that in many instances
he has been successful; that while himself
in feeble health, and at times apparently
with foot in the grave, he has been en-
gagged in transactions which have forever
disgraced him, and which have seriously
imperiled the honor Of mis- father.
The PaPaI EnyOys.
The Papal enjoys spent the day in this
CITY under the charge of Father White, Of
Baltimore. They called upon the Presi-
dent, but owing to his engagements, only
left their cards. They visited all the pub
lie buildings, and drove about the city.
COnstIfutionaIify Of Enforcement
Acts.
The statement that the Supreme Court
viii declare the enforcement acts uncOnsti-
tutiOnal, is doubtless premature. The
truth is, that the case which was recently
argued involved no features Of the enforce
ment act which have not already been pre-
sented in the South Carolina Ku-KlUx and
the Kentucky election cases. Upon this
latter case the court held its conference,
and at this conference it was discovered
that the nearly unanimous opinion of that
body is that the act of July, 1870, is not
stands eight against the cOnstitutionality to
one for the constitutionality of this act. It
is possible that this may have had deter
mining influence in securing the postpone
ment Of the decision until the October
term.
The Printers Strike.
The Chronicle this morning appeared,
the strike, but exhibited
manifold typographical indications of the
embarrassment. Thus far. only
five of the nOn-U Mon men from Chicago
have arrived. These were intercepted
some distance out from Washington by
scouts Of the Typographical Union, and in
formed Of the situation, 1t appears that the
Chicago printers did not know that they
were going to work in a ''Tat' office.

THE transfer of the recumbent statue Of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, from Richmond to his
grave at Lexington, Va, has been attended
with ceremonies that show the affection
with which his memory is cherished among
Virginians. At Richmond a regiment Of
troops and several civic organizations ae-
cOmpanied the box containing the statue
to the railroad station, where it was placed
in charge Of ten students of the Richmond
University as a guard of honor. The box
itself was Beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, and at every depot
fresh flowers and wreaths were added by
deputatiOns Of ladies. Among the com
mittCe receiving the statue at Lynchburg
was the ex-COnfederate Gen. Jubal a.

Washington Special to the New York Sun.
Although there has been no formal con-
ference or vote on the Louisiana case,
which involves the constitutiOnality OF the
Enforcement acts there is good reason to
believe that this high tribunal, by a most
decided majOrity-perhaps as strong as
eight 10 one-Will sustain the decision Of
Mr.. Justice Bradley in the court below,
and declare all this vicious legislation TO
be void and without any constitutional
warrant.
As grave political questions are at issue,
the opinion will be reserved until the meet
ing Of the court next fall, when the first
great blow will be given to that reckless
aud partisan system, which has been up
held by violent legislation and daring dis
regard of the fundamental law. The
Supreme Court, like other human institu-
tiOns, has its imperfections. 1t is not in
different to public opinion, and the revOlu-
tiOn i'm the House Of Representatives has
served in some degree to emancipate it
from a standing menance and vulgar as
sault, while Butler was Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, ready to enunciate
the most atrOciOus doctrines and backed by
a corrupt majority, always willing to accept
the worst and most desperate measures.

Attorney General Williams denies to-day
that he resigns in order to run for Senator
in Oregon, andS says that his object is to
practice law before the Supreme Court.
There is q good deal Of speculation as to
Mr.. Williams successor. The opinion Of
well-infOrmed persons is that ex-senator
Carpenter can have the position if he
chooses, but that, having already entered
upon practice which promises much larger
emOluments than the office Of Attorney
General, be will not accept the appoint
meDt if it be offered. There is no doubt
that Mr.. PierrepOnt, of New York, would
like, of all things, to be made Attorney
General, and under the circumstances his
chance is regarded as good by the knowing
ones.
COnkIinE Wants HIS Pound Of Flesh.
Senator COnkling bought some city pro-
perty not long ago from a person named
Moore. and a dispute has arisen over the
question which Of the two should be paid
some five hundred dollars awarded as dam-
ages to the property by the Board Of Audit.
Moore contends that the money belongs TO
him, as he owned the property at the time
of the damage; and COnkling claims i, on
the ground that be has been called on un-
expectedly to pay some Of the assessments
for improvements. The Board of Audit
declines to pay either of them, under the
circumstances, and sends them to the
courts to settle the question, which they
regard as somewhat novel and inter-
eSting.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

AUGUST FLowER-The most miserable be-
ings in the world are those suffering from
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. More than
seventy.fve per cent. of the people in the
United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effect such as
sour stomach, sick headache, habitual costive>
ness, impure blood, heartburn, waterbrash,
gnawing and burning pains in the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue and dis
agreeable taste in the mouth, coming up Of
the food after eating, low spirits, &c. Go to
the Drug Store Of James A. Jones and get a
70 cent bottle, or sample bottle for 10
cents. Try it. 32-49

Stop That Cough.

Many people hesitate to try a medicine for a
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of its benefting them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer-
ing with a cold cough or sore throat, that will
call at W. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one-half of it and if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money. No medicine ever sold in this vicini-
ty, that produced so magical results. Don't
fail to try IT, 47m4

ADVERTISING PAYs.-There are a
thousand ways to advertise, and
several Of those ways are found to be
profitable; but all successful business
men agree that a liberal application of
printers ink through largely circu-
lated paper is the surest and most
beneficial mode yet discovered. The
Eau Claire Free Press thus describes
some of the modes of advertising:
"There is a clock in this city which
has the words Cream Mustard inscrib-
ed around the dial plate in large capt.
tails, attracting considerable more
notice than than the figures which in
dictate the hours. The business of in
forming people when the moon fuIls
and what the other planets are about
having been monopolized by the
patent medicine folks, it seems that
our time is next to be furnished gratis
as a means of introducing us to the
proprietors of some other commodity,
Blotting paper has already wheeled
into line, and bye and bye, no doubt,
we shall have gentlemanly agents dis
tributiug suits of clothing round the
country gratis, each garment being
ticketed with some such label as the
following: "Buy DR.. Quackqaack's
Balm of Gilead. Warranted to cure
everything, from chilblain to can
GER" After this, handsome vehicles
on wheels and runners will be furnish
ed free TO every one who chooses to
carry out the following sign: "Muli-
grubb's Mesmeric Ointment cures
Cholera, Dysentery, Diptheria, Con
stipation, Typhoid Fever, Collie, and
pretty much all else," and then in
in course of time it will come to this,
that Mr.. Aver, the pill man, will offer
the people of his native village the
victuas, clothing, lodging, wood,
kerosene, and railroad tickets necess.
for the balance of their natural lives,
if only they will send him toCongress."

TIE WAnurp TRIAL AND VERDICT

THE WAGNER TRIAL AND VERDICT.
The result of the Wagner trial at
DUBUQUE for the killing Of Rhomberg
proves the potency Of that "piea'
which is rapidly becoming the most
available defence in our criminal
courts Insanity has long been and
will long remain to be perfect ex-
cuse for any direliction Of which man
maybe guilty. But thst insanity
should be we'll established by incon-
testible proof. Until within the last
half century the courts were seldom
called upon to adjudicate upon the
plea, until the case was one OF con-
firmed maniac, who had fully exhlb-
tied his condition prior TO the COM
mission Of the offence of which ne
was arraigned. But in later times a
kind of spas modical or emotional in
sanity only or first developed By the
q i committed or on about that time
has in many cases proved an etfactnal
barrier to the punishment OF the Of
fender, and without any doubt has
often prevented due administration
of justice. The verdict of jury in the
Wagner case may b right, but the
danger is that the easy application
of the plea, and the unlimited nature
Of proof by which it has been sus-
tanned, may lead to the commission
of offences in anger and for revenge,
the az gress0rs feeling assured that
money AMI friends viii produce and
substantiate an appearance Of facts
that do not really exist, but which
nevertheless will shield them from
punishment. The fact that party
may be sane the minute before and
the minute after the act was done,
but was insane a. its committal, may
DO possible although not probable.
Still such a condition has been con-
firmed by jury in New York on
trial for murder. That person may
for DAYS and weeks and perhaps
months pursue his customary avoca-
tons, and appear rational to ordinary
observers and exhibit no mark of in
sanity until he commits q crime,
and still has oeen an insane and un-
accountable person all the time is
possible, but hardly probable. The
truth is, the thing is cverdone q
proof of cause for insanity is made
evidence of insanity itself. The plea
Is becoming universal and is resorted
10 and generally effectual in protect
ing persons who seek to avenge
and by taking the law
into their own hands to punish ag-
grcsslons upon themselves or their
friends without resort to q court of
Iaw-must inevitably lead to justi-
fcation of private lynching, which
would be extremely dangerous to the
place and safety OF the community,
and in many cases fatal to the limo
cent. The defence Of insanity might
nave saved Cain from punishment
for the murder Of his brother, had he
beon tried by jury instead of his
God, and bad all the horrible facts
been presented by able counsel.

BRIDGE AND FERRY. -As an item
of Importance looking to the ultimate
completion of pontoon bridge across
the Mississippi at Dubuque, we notice
that the late Congress passed bill
authorizing the construction of pom
toon wagon and railroad bridge at
that point. A new ferry company is
likely to be organized at Dubuque
soon, the company to succeed the old
ferry company in the running of
steam ferry boat from that city to
Dunleith. These proposed means of
transit and transportation are of in
terest to the people of Grant county,
who will hail their completion with
low.
