day, when a reporter OF the Star
called to have a talk with some
Of the Southern aud Western
lads recently enlisted by order Of
Secretary Thompson, of the Navy
Department. In response to the
officers call a handsome, bright
young fellow, dressed in white
duck pantalOOns and jacket aud
smart sailor hat, came forward
and saluted Mr.. Moore, who in>
troduced the reporter.
Come to the upper deck and
have a seat said young Cheat

painfully to save his head from
the huge overhanging beams,
made his way there with as much
grace as the average land lubber
is capable of.

plain.
1t was cunningly(?) devised sham,
intended as the groundwork for a second
address. to be prepared by the same hand,
which was to be served trdrm upon prom

Senator to reconsider his un'rflr0hte de-
termination to deprive the State of his
invaluable political services. The same

THE FEDERAL JUDGEsHlP.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has
reported adversely upon the nomination
of Mr.. X. Stockett Mathews. What the
final action of the Senate will be, yet re-
mains a matter of speculation. What
ever may be the individual opinions of
Republicans as to the fitness or unfitnesS
of Mr.. Mathews for the position to which
he has been nominated, it certainly is no
qualification to them to see any Rcpubli-
can become the object of the Democratic
venom poured out on this man. We be
lievc Mr.. Mathews appointment to he an
injudicious one, and SO long as the con-
test over the nomination was a family
affair among Republicans, we were will
ing to say so. But when the fire became
general along the Democratic line against
Mathews as a Republican we felt no dis
position to join i'll the general hue and
cry echoed by the Rebel press of Mary
land. 1t is of course, a matter of regret
that the President did not avoid all this
scandal by the selection of a proper man
at the outset. He saw fit, however, III
this, as in every other Federal appoint
ment in Maryland, to take counsel with
a little cotorie of politicians, who have
already run the Republican party in
Maryland well nigh to its death. There
is no dearth of able Republican lawyers
i'll Maryland, from among whom the
President need have had no difficulty III
selecting an acceptable man, and one
over whose confirmation there would
have been no contest. The President,
however, allowed Mr.. Fulton and John
l.. Thomas to tickle his ear in behalf of
the third member of the Custom House
triumvirate, an appointment. outside of
the question of Mr.. Mathews ability or
fitness, unpopular and unpalatable be-
cause of its authorship. Whatever the
final result over the appointment. one
thing is certain, that the Republican
party i'll Maryland has not been benefited
by the unscemly contest to which it has
given rise.

BRAVE WORDS.

Among the orations delivered on Deco
ration Day was one by Col. Clarke f.
Carr, of Chicago, which contained this
powerful passage: 1.-THE patriotic men
and woman of America are in as great a
majority as they We're at any time of the
war. 1t is by their disorganization and
division that the control of the govern
ment has passed into the hand of the men
who attempted to destroy it. 1t is be-
cause We have thought too much upon
the great question of nationality, that
this demon of Calhounism is at the vitalS
of the nation. While we have been de-
voting to what we regarded as the mater
ial interests of the country and to ques-
tons of morals, the negro has been stead
lily DISTINGUISHED, the influence of the old
Confederacy has extended itself in our
midst, and gaining at every recurring cleo
ton. under different party names. more
Senators and members of Congress among
us. until ours seems to be the Lost
Cause" l am not here to-day to advo-
cate the cause of any party or partisan
ideas. This question of nationality is as
much above party as was the great ques-
ton of existence during the war: but
feel it my duty to my country and to
these patriotic dead to say here to-day
that the time has come when the patriot
ic people of America should, for time
put aside all other questions. and, unit
ing as one man, take possession of this gov
ernment: that the time has come to crush
this hydra of State rights. l believe in
and advocated all the generous measures
of reconstruction: the rehabilitation of
the State governments. amnesty, the res
toration of the men who fought in the re-
bellion to every privilege which we ell
joy. do not regret that it was done. 1t
would have been fatal to Republican
government to have attempted to rule
the conquered as dependent provinces. l
would not deprive those who fought in
the Rebellion of their just and equal
share and influence in the government;
but | do insist that the people who still
hold to doctrine which is subvcrsivc
of all government, which from the day it
was first conceived, was in itself incipient

household in the land. shall have no more

NEAL Dow is out in a caustic letter COM
menting on the recent interview with
Governor Garcelon, of Main. in a Georgia
paper. In reply to the allegation that it
is impossible to enforce the Maine Law,
Mr.. Dow says 1T is as well enforced as
our other criminal laws are. 1t has alb
solutely abolished distilIeries, breweries
and wine factories: it has absolutely driv-
ell the liquor traffic out of all our rural
districts, smaller towns and villages, and
i'll the larger towns has driven it into dark
dirty, secret holes, kept almost ex elusive
ly by the lowest class of foreigners.
1t has reduced the sale of liquor in this
State to at least one tenth of what it was
before He adds. ''There is no princ-
pie of government. no public policy more
thoroughly settled in Maine than this. 1t
is rs firmly fixed here as the vote by bal
lot: as the registry law and the voting list
and the free vote in order to secure an
honest election. The Legislature of

thought it would not require more than a
week or two of such weather as they have
had in Washington since Saturday to eff
feet a great change in the views of some
of the most profound Constitutional law
yers among the Democrats regarding the
election laws. Members of the House
arc leaving daily, and many of them do
not expect to return before next Decem-
Der. There are now twenty members alb
sent with indefinite leave and about ten
with leave for specified time. Besides
these there are, as shown by the rol-call
about fifty members absent WITHOUT leave.

Democrats will have quorum of the
