Senator Bdu0rd.

From the Lancaster Intelligencer.
Senator Bayard 10 in the robust prime
of life, having just turned the corner OF
fifty years. He is of good stature, kindly
presence and easy, courteous manners.
His face is clean shaven and his hair an
iron-gray. Some enterprising photo
grapher could help on the "Bsyard
Boom" by presenting faithful likeness
of Delaware's great Senator TO the peo-
pie. 1t is easy to understand Mr.. Bay
ards great popularity at home in regard
ing his frank and pleasant face, his ease
Of manner, blended with gentle dignity,
and above all, constant thoughtfulness
for the feelings of others. In physique
the Delaw arc Senator IL admirably fitted
to assume the burdens of the Presidency.
Bro ro,d-shouldered, fresh in color, every
movement betraying q well-knit, and
muscular body, he is physically as well
as mentally an athlete. Some Of his
fellow citizens say that he could beat
many professional pedestrians. In box
ing he is a master, and 1t would hardly
do for Roscoe Conkling to raise com
bative issue with this stalwart Della
warean. Mr.. Bayard has an old-fa,hion.
ed family Of boys and girls, such u
would make the White House seem 4
genuine home and not a mere politica
and official residence.

Resignation Not a Sufficient
ReuledV.

From the Springfield Republican. Ind.
The resignation of George r. Seward
as Minister to China Is to follow, ac-
cordlng to Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Times, the resignation Of
his cousin, +. w. Seward, as Assistant
Secretary Of State. 1t was a very
natural thing for Secretary Evarts to
cherish tender confidence in the kin Of
w. II. Seward, to whom he owed much
politically, and for whom he cast the
vote of New York State at the Chicago
Republican Convention In 1850; but he
has allowed his personal feelings to
blind his official eyesight in the most
unaccountable manner, and he acts too
late and too leniently in simply accept
ing the resignation Of man like George
+. Seward. The man should come
home dismissed aud in disgrace, and he
ought to be followed by Bradford, Baily
and the rest of the gang on the Chinese
coast, whom every official inquiry and,
1t is said, Grants unofficial testimony
has pronounced corrupt. Harm enough
has been done TO American interests by
this scandal, and the men who have
caused it should have sharper treatment
than mere opportunity TO resign.

tried the last when the prisoners were convicted
is now in Colorado and does expect to return to
the opening of the September term 1t is said that
Chief Justice Beasey. who read the opinion
in the Court Of Errors aud Appeals revers-
ing the conviction, will probably try the
prisoners Counsel for the defence say that they
will be ready to go on with their case as soon as
court opens. They have not yet decided whether
and is thought likely that they will be tried Jointly
before District Attorney McGill is also prepared
to 90 ahead at with the new trial, but he does
not know what engagements the Attorney Gem
eral may have to interfere with beginning
the trial at the opening of the term.

pear whenever lie sent for her.
The prisoners continue to live their quiet life in
