MARX GRAY, the young man who dis
charged two barrels of Il revolver at
Edwin Booth at McVicker's theater, was
declared insane and viii h confined per-
manentfy in the Elgin Asylum. Toward
the last he lost great deal of the I'M
concern which marked his conduct after
the attempted assassination. He with
drew his plea of guilty." and entered
one Of mot guilty" His assurance
that when the proper time came he
could justify the act, was entirely for
gotten, and he expressed sorrow fer
what he had done. He says that Booth
mimicked his mother, calling him mark,
Mark, in tone intended to be an imi-
tltion Of hers, and dId other things with
the intention of exasperatiLg him. He
evidently believed that Booth noticed
him, and singled him out from the aud
fence rs person to receive more than
ordinary attention. Mr. Simmons said
that in an interview with Gray while in
Jail. Gray informed him that he GRAY
was told by Blanche DeBar, that Booth
was his father. Gray's real name is
Lyons. His father died before he was
born. He was hard drinker while a
hoy, and believing he could not discon
tinue the habit attempted 70 shoot HIM
self. The buii.et caused a depression in
his skull aud siGee then his mother says

\ FEW years will bring about startling
changes in Russia. The people there
are on the verge of an outbreak which
will rival the terrors of the French revo-
luton. The government of Russia has
been SO despotic that the oppressed peo-
pie ere determined to take desperate
means to better their condition. 4 Sc
cret society, bound by the most solemn
and rigorous obligations, threaten the
lives of the royal family and of the no.
bility. Meanwhile the laws are stringent
as despotic power can make them. There
is no such thing as freedom in Russia
and the extremes to which the people
and the government are going will pre-
cipitate conflict which at present no
power seems able to avert. Russia will
soon be one vast theatre of bloodshed.

THE WAR HORSE, CHANDLER.

Republican papers relate with great
particularly and apparent relish the in
diguation which Chambers speech oc-
casioned among democrats. The search
for a SINGLE utterance in the speech,
which a man having the single interest
of his country at heart could commend,
vould be utterly futile. Chandler was
actuated solely by desire to promote
sectional dissension. Every word utter
ed in public by politicians of his school
is directed to that end. The republican
party draws its life blood from sectional
hatred, and its supremacy comes from a
corrupt use of the power with which it
was invested in 1861. Chandler is au
exponent of that spirit of bitterness
which permeates the organization Of
which he is member At time when
the republican party needed wiser coun-
I sells than it does at present, Chandler
was very properly retired to private life.
Now, when reconciliation is thrown to
the winds, when it is found that repubh-
can ascendency can only be maintained
by fostering discord, Chandler comes
to the front and sounds the bugle blast
OF hate.
1t would not occasion surprise If
Chandler felt ike indulging in a little
self glorifcation, because of his success
in embittering the sections against each
other and reviving enmities WHICH were
fast yielding to the consciousness that
national prosperity is hindered by
keeping memories alive for no good pur-
pose. He can conceive of no higher aim
for craftsmanship. He is brawler, and
/ his occupation is gone when statesman

ship is demanded. But it is difficult TO
understand why his rant and roar should
be appIauded by the people. They have
not the politicians, reasons for Cypress
ing any portion of the nation. This
stirrer up of strife in being an enemy to
peace, is acting inimically to the interests
of every il diyidual whose bread is not
dependent on the success of the republi-
can party. What reason is there in
glowing with enthusiasm over the words
Of Chandler, devoid of sense and preg-
nant with mischief, and reproving the
high minded Davis, who labors indefat-
igably for the peoples good? Davis
asked that congress give attention to
affairs of the present and that members
stop wrangling over dead issues. Chand-
Ter was valiant in his references to
the past and managed to awaken
great deal of hostility. Davis by his
action subjected himself to ridicule and
earned the title of Soothing Syrup"
Chandler became the hero of the hour
and is referred to as the "war horse. :"
Such is the present diseased state of the
republican mind, that plaudits can only
be won by those who advocate a policy
destructive of the best interests of the
country.
"He delivered a terrible philippe
against the democracy" say the republi-
can Journals in reference to late speech
of Chandeliers. 1t would seem from the
way they frown upon a man who coun-
/ sells attention to the needs of the country,
and approve of the ''phillipics" that
their conception of the duties of repre-
sentative is to deal telling blows against
the opposition. The Legislative halls are
simply an arena for the combat CT political
gladiators,, and the audience, the nation,
are to hiss down any attempt to depart
from the programme of taking scalps.
To this are republicans bringing the con-
! gress of the United States.
