What can the President do under such cir

THE sTATt.HousE COMMISSIONERS,

ishfng the Board Of State-Houso Commits
sioners, will receive tic approval Of tho on
tire people Of Illinois outside, perhaps, Of y
little clique of interested friends and iobbers
In md about Springfield. Thore arc two ex-
collont rensons why tho Legislature should
hasten 10 adopt tho measure. Tho money
for proceeding with tho work las atl been
exhausted, and cannot constitutioually bo
appropriated except by vote OF tho people
at n general election, after which II must DO
raised by taxation; consequently 1t will be
more than two years before there will be
any work for the Stato-Houao Commission
ers to do, nnd 1t is only fair to dispense with
thom, their salaries, their attaches, and their
expenses. In the second rlaca, this pro-
celuro serves to get rid Of q sat Of men who
have forfeited tho confidence Of tho people
by their previous management Of tho state-
House affairs, and by altering tho plnns and
doing tho work in uttar disregard Of tho
constitutional Limitation of tho coat Of tho
building to 81, ,500, 900 when completed.
We havo gono over this stato-House INIT
tor pretty thoroughly and exposed somo
striking evidences Of abuses, and unlawful
practices, md bad management. We havo
never charged corruption OH tho part OF the
8tatc-Iouse Commissioners, nor is such
charge necessary to establish the claim TINT
they ought now to bo dispensed with. It ia
not denied that they, in full knowledge Of
tho constitutional limitation Of $3, 600, 600,
have proceeded with tho work On scale
which ncceaaitatos, as they aay, almost
rt11{or, 10 n SH ,nk
deniud that when they naked their Inst up
propriatton Of $500, 900. thoy gave the Legis-
lature tho ASSURANCE TINT this Sum would
enable them 10 finish the building by last
1nnuary. It ia not deniod that the sum Of
$4,000. 900 WINS ample to erect as 1nagnil-
cont Stato-Ilouse as Illinois desires or
ought to havo. It Is not denied that tho
prices Of labor and ulaterial have 80
Bhrunkon within the last three years
that $1,0oo,00D In building would go aa
far as $4,000, 900 boforo the panic. We
Aaya shown TINT fat contract was awarded
10 tue peniteuuary at most favorable figure
OIL the ground that Btsto Institution would
get the benefit thereof, but that tho contract
and profits wero turned oyer to private in
aividual. We hare shown that tho 6tate-I IIouso
Commissioners have changed the plans from
hno to time IN such way az to Involve
needless expenditure OF several hundred thou
sand dollars. 1t Ia charged TINT much Of the
work iu and about tho Stase- House has been

The spccct, OF Afr. DLA,Na In tho Senate on
the question OF tho admission Of Gov, KKLLoGu
to seat reads very much o. IL lie was seeking
quarrel with President HAYES. A Washington
dispatch says that tho President desired to &C.
lect one OF MI. B1A1az's particular friends for
scat In tho Cabinet. IA position was rendered
to three prominent citizens Of Maine, all close
friends Of Mr. BLAINE, but nil declined, md, ~
1t is believed, By the advice Of tho Senator. In
Wow Of this friendly manifestation on the part
Of Prcsldeut HAYES toward Mr.. BLAINE, tho
speech Of tic latter Ia tho Senate yesterday IL
regarded by tho Republicans who ara very close
to the President ~ significant and unaccounta-
blc-n Tho part Of the speech that needs cr-
plaDatIon Is that wherein he concealed two
facts E1a said:

by Telegraph to the National Republican.
BALTIMORE, March 2S.-The trial OF
Thomas Hogan, for the murder of City Coun-
Gilman Patrick Mulligan by shooting on this
18th oil December last, was concluded to-day
in the Circuit Court Of Howard county, where
1t had been transferred. The jury rendered. 4
verdict OF not guilty. Mulligan was shot at a
ball about . O'Clock on the morning OF the
18th and died about the same hour on the
morning of the 18th. His statement under
oath, before a justice, made a few hours
before his death, charging Hogan directly
with the shooting, was ruled out by the court,
1t being In evidence that at the time of
making his statement Mulllgan, in reply to a
question by the Justice, said he did believe the
wound would prove fatal. Judge Miller said
a statement made under these circumstances
could not be admitted as dying declaration.
The rejection of this statement cleared Hogan,
there being no other direct evidence.
