A telegram received from Savannah yes
terday afternoon, stated that Mr. VAN SCHAICK,
Surrogate OF this city, was unconscious, aud
WAS not expected to survive. lie had been In
this condition once before, and had rallied but
the RELAPSE was considered very alarming. There
are very few men In the community whose death
would be moro keenly felt by all their aoquaint-
ance than Mr.. VAS sCHAICK, lie was a uni.
yersal fayorie. Every one who came in contact
with han soon grew To regard him with affection
as well as with respect, Il Is said that MIR. VAN
sCHAICNs health has been broken down by the
prosecuting i'm. ortunities OF the politicians for
the patronage of the oilico Of Surrogate. MIR.
VAN sCiIAICK wa, too conscientious to do any
thing AGAINST his convictions, and that rendered
It dinicult for him TO get along with the sturdy
demands made uuon nim by persons backed up
by those who asserted political demands upon
him.
Our old readers will recar 10 mind tho deata
OF WILLIAM HENRY HAKnIsOS, which was

ton President of the United states.

Well, Mr. T.. A. SrORRs, of counsel for
Cen BADcocK, has published the AFFIDAVIT Of c.
8. BELL. which he announced he had In his pos
session, and which was to completely demollsh
the evidence of that witness. We have carefully
read II, aud 0nd In 1t the strongest confederation
Of tho truth Of BELLS testimony before the
WASHINGTON Com mittee that has yet been offered.
1t Ia a report giving at great length the results
Of BELLS espionage In District Attorney DYER's
Office, a work which, be says In his AFFIDAVIT, he
undertook In pursuance Of an agreement made
with LUCKEY, one OF the Presidents private Sec
retaries. This AFFIDAVIT was made In Washing
lnRton Dec. %, and in It BELL refers to what he
calls "the conspiracy" against persons he be-
lleved innocent, when the whole snlmus
spraug from political intrigue" which exactly
agrees with the statement he made to a SIN ro-
porter, which we published on Saturday last.
In that statement BELL, after explaining that
he at that time Din December) had the utmost
confidence In the honesty Of his old commander
GRANT. which was naturally extended to BAB-
COCK, the confidential friend and secretary Of
the President, said that owing TO the indiscre-
ton OF some persons In DYERs office, and to
the imprudent talk OF some OF BR1sTow's
oyer-zealous friends in st. Louis, he was al nrst
confirmed In his impression that Secretary BRIs-
TOW was really endeavoring to make capital for
himself at the expense OF the President Ac-
cordine to tue story he told our reporter, 1t was
not until February, when BABcOCK boldly re-
CURED him to ATTEMPT the theft Of all the docu-
mentary evidence against the latter. that he be-
came aware Of the damnable character Of the
case In when he had been employed, and the
affidavit published by SroRRs Il a striking con
nrmation OF this statement. There "a another
fact In connection vita this matter which Is
worthy Of special notice. After BABCOCKs coun-
sci had secured BELLS sworn. tatement, made
In Washington, that he, at the instigation Of one
Of the Presidents private secretaries, had been
surrepttiously engaged In trying to thwart the
purposes Of the Government officers In st. Louis
who we're In charge Of the Whlskey Ring prose-
cutions. President GRANT perst Iay directed
Attorney General PIERREPoNr to give him an
APT ointment so that ne could return to ST. Louis
and carry out the designs Of BABcocK and
LUcKEY ut the public expense; aud when the
Attorney ensral besitated about doing this
BELL was appointed for the same purpose to a
nominal place IN the Pen ion ONCE; and this
was done by the personal command OF the Prcsi
dent. IL Mr. SToRRs has any more afidavits OF
the same kind, We trust he will hasten to give
them publicity.

Undoubtedly n jew may be honestly

pies, with the exception, perhaps, Of JUDAS
IscARor. There were many jewish converts
on tho day OF Pentecost, and in the early days
of Christ lnity. Some OF the most famous
fathers Of the ChIistan Church were men OF
Jewish birth. One Of the epistles Of the New

The election in Connecticut leaves every
thing where II was In regard to the Presidential
campaign. The country struck It's great blow at
GRANTS Administration In the autumn OF 1874,
when the present House Of Representatives was
chosen. The elections Of 1875 exhibited decline
In the Democratic majOrities OF the previous
year. If 1915 had been the Presidential year,
and II all the States had shown like decline In
Democratic maJorites. a careful comp arison If
the figures will demonstrate that less than half
a dozen electoral votes would have turned the
scale.
The moderate falling OF in Gov. INGERsoLL's
absolute majority on Monday, MS compared with
that which he obtained last year, proves that
the slight reaction agair the Democracy in Con-
necticut Keeps pace with the decline In the
other States, thus reaflrming the conclusion
that in respect to the Presidency the two parties
are of about equal strength. IL either party
could have carried both New Hampshire and
Connecticut this sprng the result would have
been generally accepted IA showing such an
unmistakable turn OF the tide In Its favor as
to have pretty nearly settled the impending
national contest. But with one State going Re-
publican and the other Democratic, the elections
determine nothing, except that In struggle
which Is sure to he sharp. and the event whercof
is now very doubtful, both Cincinnati and st.
Louis have need to nominate their ablest and
best men.

1t is only justice to say that the Nelo

entiousness, an industry, and an Intellectual
power certainly never surpassed in its history.

The bill introduced into the state Senate
10y Senator BooTm. relating to the Dock Depart

Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund power TO
absolutely veto the action Of the Dock Depart
ment, limits the issue OF dock bonds to t3jO,0OO,
and prohibits the further expenditure Of money
on the stone oulkhesd. This Is well as far a. 1t
goes; but what would be better would be to
abolish the whole department. aud turn its
affairs over to the charge of a bureau Of the De
partment Of Public Works.
