THE SONS OF ABE LINCOLN AND
CTEpIlEN n0I,GLAS

STEfHEN a. OOlukAC.
Several journals have noted the fact
that the son Of Abraham Lincoln and
the son of Stephen A. Douglas are now
both in Chicago practicing law, and it
has been suggested that Illinois may at
an early day witness great struggle in
which the names of Lincoln and Doug
las will be most conspicuous, . was the
case in 1859 and again in 1850. Those
who have predicted such struggle, ey-
identity have little knowledge Ofthe two
Young men who now represent the two
greatest names known to the contests
Of Illinois. There will be no political
battle between young Lincoln and
young Douglas, for several reasons.
In the first place, they are both Repub-
licans, and, therefore, not political
antagonists. In the second place, young
Douglas has been too much Of poll
tician and young Lincoln too little Of .
politician to make it at all probable
that either will approach the fame of
his father as political leader. Douglas
was unfortunate in politics Is q carpet
Dagger in North Carolina was Speaker
of the House during H0lden's disgrace
full administration, and he has an un-
welcome favor about him for the
people of the West. Lincoln has much
of his fathers ability, without his love
for politics, and he has studiously
refrained from all prominence in politi-
cal movements, and declined all profiers
of political advancement. Douglas has
his fathers taste for partisan battles.
but lacks his aggressive ability and his
devoted friends. Lincoln could rally
those who revere his fathers memory,
but he wisely applies himself to his pro-
fession, and rejects all ideas Of political
distinction. 1t is quite improbable,
therefore, that the future political dis
putes of Illinois will make the names OF
Lincoln and Douglas famOus.-FrOn'

THE FAILURE OF THE MAR
SHAL'S BILL.

The exact effect Of the failure upon
the part Of Congress to make appropri-
atoms for United States Marshals, etc,
cannot yet he determined, but 1t threat
ems to be serious. The statute provides
that mo department Of the government
shall eXpend in any one fiscal year any
sum in excess Of the appropriations
made by Congress for that fiscal year.o
involve the government IN any contract
for the future payment Of money in ex-
cess of such appropriations"
If IL were not for this provision, the
machinery of the judicial department
could be kept running, and payment be
authorized at the next meeting Of Con-
gress, but under the section quoted any
service which involves the government
In liability is prohibited, and it il there
fore claimed that no duties coming I'M
der this head can be performed by Uni
ted States Marshals until an appropria-
.ti0u 10 made 10 cover the expense. If
this proves TO be the opinion Of those
having charge of this department, the
embarrassment occasioned by the late
Democratic folly will be widely felt and
will occasion much indignation. Among
the duties which in the opinion Of many
the marshals will be prohibited from
performing are the following:
1. The serving Of any warrant, at
tschment, summons, or capias in Grim
inal cause.
2. The safe keeping Of any personal
property attached for the United States.

ing Of grand or petit jurors in any
cause.

Z. The making Of bail bonds in United

DEYINS ADVISES.

A United States Marshal al Dctrolt
having inquired if he should continue
warrants in criminal cases, Attorney
General Devens answers:
IL advise you to perform the usual du-
ties of your Office, which YOU are not
forbidden to do, to the extent Of your
power. The law prescribes such duties
and it fixes the fees for such duties. No
appropriation for marshals and their
deputies has been made, nor can make
any contract that this provision shall be
hereafter made but your duties, SO far
as the law contemplates that they are,
be compensated by fees, seems to me to
constitute good grounds Of obligation
against the United States, where the
services of deputies are required and ex-
penditures are to be made. recognize
the difficulties you have to encounter in
this matter. You will have to rely on
future legislation by Congress that shall
be Just to you all. All expenses except
fees to their marshals and deputies have

A feasible plan has been devised to

their liberties the safeguards to which
the late democratic congress attempted
to destroy by Withholding the necessary

Mr.. w. A. Thomas of Wichita, were

Of the 4th, when Mr.. Thomas suggested
that there were enough patriotic Re-
publicans to be found in the County
who would subscribe Of their private
names sufii cient to sustain the Govern
ment until more honorable Congress
could be elected, whereupon Judge
Campbell drew up subscription paper
and started il along himself. Several
hundred dollars were procured and
President Hays notified by telegraph to
draw on the signers for the amount.
Let the patriotic example be but follow

State and the deficiency will be supplied
