Shooting at the Gar.

New York Herald.
SolOyieff was appointed by lot to
shoot the czar /" so he says, and if the
statement is true he is the first of the
men recently supposed to have been
designated to such a duty who has ad
mitted the fact. But the Nihilists
differ from the destructives in the
other countries by the fact of their
bold declaration of a purpose and
their assuption of the responsibility
of their acts. Socialists in Germany,
reds in Italy and internationalists in
Spain pretend to political purposes and
pretend to decry savage processes
but the Nihilists glory in these and
boast the discipline of the system by
which they can force functions of this
nature upon their tools; for, of course.
an order to shoot the czar is equiv
alent in its ultimate effects to a death
warrant, for if the man should not
act his associates would kill him. and
otherwise justice would of course do
as much. Doubtless it was this sort
Of enforced service that saved the
czar, for from the moment the assas-
sin received the fatal order he
was probably more dead than
alive with fright. Unless this
was the case it is impossible
to understand how a man in the
prime of life, and, in all probability.
practised in the use of arms. could
have missed his man, firing four shots
at arms length. Nerves disturbed by
mental agitation can alone account for
such a result. But the Nihilists have
fairly shown the extent of their evil
intentions by this attempt, and have
given the government the fairest pos
sible occasion to take hold of them
with the yigor it so well knows how to
use, and it will be strange if there are
not semi-savage repressions.

The Southern Snirit

The Helena World, of the 18th
says:
Captain Boyton remarked during
his stay in Helena that his treatment
by the Northern people as compared
to those of the South approached the
narrowest edge imaginable. Upon the
Ohio he was not shown hospitality but
once, and upon that occasion by an
old Scotchman. Frequently he was
charged outrageous rates, and until he
entered Southern territory his voyage
was a dead loss, When Mr.. Ferguson.
Of the ferry-boat Lee, came forward
upon his own motion and handed in
the receipts taken from the excursion,
the captain said that such proceed
ing was without parallel in his ex-
perience down the great waters to the
gulf He expressed himself as de-
termined to lie over in Helena a day,
should he return by a Mississippi
steamer, and present to our people his
wonderful apparatus from practical
standpoint, by free exhibition in the
water.

Jonesborough Joufnall
Taken all in all there can be but
few who will not say well done for the
legislature which has just closed its
session. Though it may have done
some things that can work but little
good to the State and Others in
manner that is not the most likely to
accomplish the most desirable results.
yet it passed but few acts that can
possibly work a public injury, while
many measures have been adopted
that meet the hearty Endorsement of
our entire people.
The numerous measures of econo-
my adopted must materially lessen
the expenses of the State; the crea-
ton Of the State board of health
should do much to protect the people
against the ravages of epidemics
which have so fearfully afflicted
many sections and cities of the
State for the past several years.
The provision for High Court of
Chancery to aid in clearing up the un-
settled causes in the Supreme Court
must hereafter enable our courts to
bring litigation to more speedy issue
and at once both lessen the cost and
the amount Of litigation. The rigid
enactments against the sale and use of
deadly weapons can but curtail the
numerous manslaughters and murders
that have been so alarmingly on the
Increase Of recent years. The act re.
ending the charters of many incorpo-
rated towns, while in many respects
we think, are justly and greatly to be
deprecated, must circumscribe the
baneful effects of intoxicating LIQUORS.
especially in the districts now most
cursed by them, by giving effect to the
law which prohibits their manufacture
or sale in large or small quantities
within four miles of a chartered insti-
tuition of learning.
The final disposition of the State
debt, though objected to by both the
low and the high tax parties of the
State, strictly oppose or regret it. and
which we now believe is the very best
that could have been done, being as
much as our people are able to pay
and more valuable to the bondholder
than any investment he could make of
his bond unapproyed by the people.
All these, and other acts which we
hope hereafter to notice, should and
do we believe meet with almost uni
versal approval on the part of the
people, and stamp our recent legisla-
ture among the most effective in the
history Of our State. Their record is
made up and they can have no cause
to be ashamed of it. 1t will stand the
test of time and only be the more ap-
proved after investigating thought by
the people and ample trial.

Wanted-A Western Man.

Washington Special to Chicago Times.l
A prominent Western Bourbon
party manager, now in this city for
the purpose of ascertaining how the
Presidential land lies, says that if
Tilden is renominated it will contra
dict every information he is able to
gather. is plain to see, said he,
" that the Republicans to a man are
anxious to have Tilden nominated.
The Democrats would be fools to
select man who is so strongly desired
as an opposition candidate of the Re-
publicans. This Bourbon party man
ager thinks that, as between Grant
and Tilden, Grant would win. He
doubts whether Tilden could carry
New York. He says that the party
managers are looking about for can
didate who can carry Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin, possible Democratic
States. They think it possible to find
a man to carry Pennsylvania also, and
perhaps let New York 90. Joel G.
Parker is spoken of as the man for
vice president. 1t is thought that he
could carry Pennsylvania as certainly
as he could New Jersey. The person
who heads the ticket is to carry the
Western States above named. .

WASHINGTON special Last session
Senator Hamlin went out of his way
in the open Senate to announce that
he had voted against the President on
the New York appointments. The
next day the President sent to the
Senate the name of successor to the
collector of customs at Bangor,
Maine. The act was clearly meant as
punishment to Mr.. Hamlin, as the
official removed was his friend, and
the appointee an enemy. The Senate
committee to which the case was re .
ferred could find no cause for the re-
moval. When the nomination came
up in the Senate TO be acted upon, a
motion was made to reject the new
man by unanimous vote, and, to
make the rebuke more pronounced,
the roll was called Now the Presi-
dent sends in the name of still another
man for the place, hoping that the
Senate, being Democratic, will join
him in fighting the wicked old man
from Maine; but as the Democratic
Senate is carrying out programme of
confirming and rejecting nominations
solely for cause, the President is in a
fair way for another rebuke.

A WASHINGTON correspondent
says: One Of the arguments which
the Republican orators have played
upon in the debate on the army bill
is that the negro is not protected in
his rights, and it has been cited more
than once that not colored member
now occupies seat in the lower
house This has been charged to the
ingratitude of the Democrats. To
illustrate the gratitude shown by the
Republicans for the negro ex-Con-
gressman Rainey of South Carolina
furnishes an example. Rainey was
an applicant for the position of
third auditor of the treas
ury. He was we'll indorsed
and recommended by the President
Instead of giving him the place
he sought, Sherman gave it to a po-
litical hack, an ex-congressman from
Michigan, named Keightly. Yester-
day, to appeaSe the feelings of the dis
appointed Rainey, he was rendered
the place of assistant appointment
clerk Of the treasury, a place beneath
the dignity Of an ex-congressman, and
which would have been considered an
insult to any other than colored ex-
member. Sherman thought that the
small place was good enough for a
niger but Rainey declined it with
a good deal of Indignation, and plainly
told Sherman that its tender was not
at ali considered in the nature of a
compliment to himself Thus the
only negro congressman who has ap-
piled for any place of honor under the
administration is given the husks to
feed upon.

CALCUTTA, April 2l.- Continued

LONDON, April 81. - The Times
congratulates Secretary Sherman upon
his success in converting the 1910
bonds, and says the conversion of six
per cent. bonds in 1880 is likely to
depend more than the present opera
tion on the maintenance of the credit
Of the United States abroad. The
reviving trade in the United States
will by 1880 probably render it impos
sible to obtain money there at four per
cent. Now that the conversion has
been carried as far as it can be for
two years, Sherman should direct the
attention Of congress and the nation
to the policy of reducing the capital
Of the debt, which has been for some
time neglected.
