farming and laboring classes were discussed,

taxes due this county and what means should
be adopted to enforce their collection. AS Oh

Our wise lawmakers at Springfield are so
engrossed with the business of choosing a
successor to John A. Logan in the United
States Senate, that very little business aside
from that receives attention. The job of
making the new senator commenced on Tues.
day, by each house separately making nom.
nations and taking vote. In the senate,
Mr.. Whiting nominated Logan in flattering
little speech. Dearborn nominated joni Nj,
Palmer; Parish nominated w. b. Anderson,
and Buehler nominated f. i. Washburnc. In
the house Mr. Morrison, OF Morgan, nomina-
ted John A. Logan, and the nomination was
seconded by Our representative, i. b. Croker,
in very gushing, mushy little speech-a
slckening imitation Of Bob IngersoPs gush
on nominating Blame at Cincinnati. Her
rington, of Kane, nominated John NJ. Palmer !;
Heron, of Bureau, nominated Hon. David
Davis; and Easton nominated Hon. VIM. La
throp, of Rockford. The vote in the two

Hon. Fawcett Plumb, of La Sale county
was elected president pro tenn of the senate AT
Springfield, on Thursday last. The republi.
cans all voted tor him. Now, if the Senator
will return the compliment and vote for Lo
gan for L. S. Senator, his constituents will
heartily endorse such action, and his many
friends will be gratiied.- VeaoRa Inter.
If Mr. Plumb is anxious to commit polit
cal suicide, he can do it Immediately and
etiectually by voting for John a. Logan The
party that supports Logan was 800 in tho
minority in La Sale county at the election
last November, and will never again come as
near carrying the county as then on a square
political issue.

JOHN sHERMAN'S DISGRACE.

One of the most dsgraceful and disgusting
episodes in this presidential muddle is that
in which Senator John Sherman, of Ohio,
cuts prominent figure. He was sent to
New Orleans By the president, ostenslby to
witness the count of the vote by the Louisiana
returning board and to report his impress
sons of its fairness; but, judging by what
he did, really to encourage the returning
board in their rascality and to cover their in
putty by lying defense. After spending six
weeks in the company of these dirty scoun-
drels, fully in their secret and plotting ras-
cality with them, he returned TO Washington
and LAID before the president a labored de-
Tense of THEN action supporting his state
ments by a mass OF negro aftidavi:s prepared
to order IN the Louisiana custom house.
And now come these same negroes whose
names are signed to the affidavits in question:
and before the congressional committees
swear that they never made such statements,
and never signed or swore to said atfidavts,
and that the whole batch are forgeries manu-
featured in the custom house by government
officials. If Sherman were merely a dupe in
this matter, we might feel pity for him. y
man having made an elaborate argument In
defense of one of the most signal pieces of
scoundrelism of the age, and then finding all
his evidence dlssolving into moonshine, usu.
ally deserves commisseratlon. But Sherman
was no dupe, and would rather be called a
scourdrel than dupe, and such let him Ell
called, tor 40 man unhung ever more justly
deserved the title.
