and will run for twelve months. This is Mr..
Harte's first extended work. The scenes and
characters, which the author has chosen from
his favorite field, California, are painted with
characteristic vividness and power; and the
work is without doubt the most graphic rec-
ord of early California life that has yet ap-
peared. We shall also begin in the January

The scene of this story is laid in the South
western territory, now forming the States of
Louisiana and Texas, at the time OF Aaron
Burr's treason. The characters lived in a
section which was now American, now French
and now Spanish, and this record Of their
adventurous lives makes story of intense
and unfagging interest throughout.

THERE have been n great many
plans proposed to restore specie pay
ments, but the latest and most orig
inal is resumption by the Supreme
Court. 1t will be remembered that
the decision by that tribunal affirm
ing the constitutionality of the legal
tender act turned upon the point
that the authority of the Government
to issue notes and make them legal
tenders was upon a war power, aris-
ing from its eXigencies. The ext
gehcies having ceased, it is now
reasoned that the power has ceased ;
that the notes retain their character
until they are paid into the treasury
again for taxes or other purposes,
but if reissueel they no longer pos
sess the quality of legal tenders. 1t
is proposed to bring the question be-
fore the Supreme Court in this way i:
Notes recently issued from the Treas
ury, and bearing a date subsequent
to the close of the war, will be ten
tered in payment for debt, and re-
fused Suit will then be brought
against the debtor, aud he will plead
the tender in bar, which will make
it necessary for the Court to decide
whether such notes are legal tender.

WE are getting on-we shall soon
be able To score another victory for
the influential press. The Spring
field Republican, which is adept in
this sort of thing, announces that
Bahcock has promised Mcdonald an
early release, The press is now ex-
pected to fight this thing bitterly,
and as Mcdonald will not be released.
a victory for the press will be formal
~ announced. The fact that Bah
cock has made no such promise, and
that 1t couldn't amount to anything
If he has, doesn't enter into the affair.
In So2ne way. one knows, the press
must feel that it is doing an immense
amount Of work in the interest of
morality.

committee, Blackburn, OF Kentucky,
was an intimate friend of the family,
aud through his influence, probably,
the committee was induced to look
upon it as a Matchmaking plot. Bat
finally it was decided to subpoena
the man Marsh, who, it was repre-
sented and since proved, was big
bonanza of information. Marsh was
in quandary. His subpoena was
bv telegraph, and did not legally
bind him to obedience. His impulse
was to leave the country until the
storm had blown over. The tele-
gram was dated Monday, the DIST of
last month. The Wednesday follow
ing he went on to Washington, and
was the guest of Secretary Belknap.
He and his wife protested against
his leaving the country. 1t would
be confession of guilt and be ruin
Gus 10 the Secretary. They wanted
he should tell the committee that he
had done some business for Mrs.
Belknap, in the management of prop
eaty for her and as a sort Of private
banker. There was only one obsta-
Gle in the way of making perfectly
satisfactory explanation of the money
remittances he had made to the Sec
rotary and his wife-that was the
reluctance of Mr.. Marsh to misrep-
resent. He could make $4,000 ont
of robbiug poor soldiers (tor such it
was), but he could not tel lie. No
doubt the Secretary and his wife
were amazed a, finding this evidence
Of conscience. Lle scampered back
to New York city the next day with
out seeing the committee. Next
appears upon the stage a brother of
Mrs. BellSnap, DR.. Tomlinson. He
urged Marsh to face the music, and
tell as little as he could. Evidently
the BelkLaps had no idea that he
would make clean breast Of it. A
letter was prepared for him to send
10 the committee, which declared
that the Secretary had no part in
making this arrangement with Evans,
which was true, perhaps, but very
far from the whole truth. 1t was
hoped that that would satisfy the
committee, but it did not. Then
Tomlinson and Mrs. Belknep tele-
graphed him to come on to Wash
ington, still chnging to the hope of
saving the ship by some device. But
once before the committee, Marsh
kept back nothing.
Such is the humiliating story Of
the Bellnap catastrophy, for such it
is. For the first time, if we mistake
not, in the history of the Republic, a
Cabinet officer has been proven
guilty of corruption. There were
charges of embezzlement against
Alexander Hamilton, our first Secre-
tary of the Treasury, but they had
no foundation. Others have been
suspected of completely in fraud, but
now for the first time the evidence
is definite and conclusive. 1t is a
national dishonor. There is no use
in denying that. But it is no small
to know that retribution
has overtaken the transgressors.
Let no guilty man escape, however
high his position. The stable is
foul, and the Hercules of reform
should make thorough work of its
cleansing Chicago Jo,u7,at.

VIZ. :. CARTER.

This gentleman, whom the Repub-
lican Judicial Convention has named
for the important Office of Judge OF
the 9th Judicial Circuit, is not only
possessed of the most ample qualif-
cations for the place, but also one
whose character in every respect is
above suspicion.
Mr.. Carter has been resident Of
Wisconsin from early boyhood, and
through arduous study, in spite Of
many unfavorable circumstances, en-
tirely dependent upon himself from
earliest manhood, has attained an
cminence in his profession where he
is rivallcd by but few and transcend
ed By no member Of the remarkably
able bar Of this Circuit.
Besides superior legal ability Mr..
Carter possesses the other essentials
TO the make Up of n good Judge
such as integrity beyond question, a.
mind well stored with general infor-
nation, quicllness Of perception,
promptness OF action, moral courage
TO do his duty without fear or favor,
the most circumspect personal habits,
and dignilied bearing calculated to
grace and adorn the highest court in
the land.
1t is now apparent that Mr.. Strong
will be Mr.. Carriers only competitor,
the Democratic managers having,
with manifest reluctance, been forced
to abandon their scheme of getting
out another candidate whom they
think would be less Objectionable,
and more likely to secure success at
the polls. Were it our disposition
to DO so, it would not be necessary
for rs to state reasons why the peo-
pie of this circuit should refuse to
make Mr.. Strong Judge, rs every
Democratic paper in the circuit has
already discussed Mr.. Strong, and
most of them more unfavorably than
even we deemed justiiiable; but now,
Of course, finding that they cannot
force him from the track, they will
fall into line and support him. We
wish them good apetites to partalSe
of their repast of "crow.' In re-
spouse to whatever arguments these
,,oo-pati=m crow-eaters may adj
vance, it need only be asked: In
what is the Mr.. Strong of to-day SUI
pepe rior to Mr.. Strong of a month
ago, when some thought it probable
that another Democrat would be in
the field! 1t has been our desire to
avoid saying anything derogatory of
Mr.. Strong, but judging from the
tone of the last weeks issue of our
neighbor across the way, the Demo-
Gratis lintend pursuing different
course toward Mr.. Carter, and we
may be forced to even reproduce
some of their own objections to Mr..
Strong, which are more forcible than
anything possible to urge against
Mr.. Carter.

THE SrANDARD-LouIsvIILE GAME
About 400 people assembled at the Fair
Grounds yesterday afternoon to witnes!
the game between the Louisville and
Standard clubs. The Louisyilles being
one OF the crack league clubs, but little
hope was entertained that our boys would
make the show against them that they
did, several very damaging error
loosing the game 10 them by three rum
only. The score stood: Louisville, eight
Standard, five. In the first inning the
Standard, after withdrawing the visitors
succeeded in making three runs, and con
tinued to lead until the eighth inning, the
score then standing: Standard, five; .ouis
vile, four. In thesecond inning Lukens
by a bad muti at left field, gave the Louis
yilles two runs, which should have been
a whitewash, and Junkins, in the ninth
inning, by wild throw 10 Mofiat at first
gave them two more, Had it not beer
Tor these errors the Standard would have
won the game.
One OF the features OF the game was
the heavy batting OF the home club
making no less than fifteen base hits Il
the Louisvilles' nine.
The playing Of Glasscock at third bas'
and Barkley at second was excellent, d.
was also that OF Sommers behind the bat
having but three passed balls. Lukenl
also made up for his error by beautiful
running catch. The playing Of the Lou
isvilles was generally good, having bu
four errors charged 10 them during thu
whole game.
The umpiring OF Mr.. Robert Nc
Nichols gave entire satisfaction.
