The great political battle
which will end in the election of
a President to succeed the fraud
who now occupies the White
House, is beginning in sound
earnest. John Sherman has bold.
ly announced himself as Il candi-
date for the nomination by tic
republican party; and is now on
a visit to Name to advance his
claims before the state of Blaine,
whose anxiety to secure the nom.
nation four years ago, gave him
sunstroke, and which is now I'm.
disguised for the approaching
nomination.
The contest in Main is of a tri-
angular nature, between radicals,
greenbackers and democrats, the
two latter having united pretty
generally on the local tickets.
That the republicans may carry
Maine will not he astonishing
yet they were so uneasy about it
that the whole congressional del.
egatiOn left Congress to attend
to the preliminaries of the cons
test.
In Ohio, a State that is always
close, the battle will be general
all along the line. and fought in
serried ranks. The democratic
ticket is one that sends the
bloody shirt preachings to grass,
and brings the radicals down to
all advocacy of principles and
political theories. Sherman will
lend all his great energies to the
success OF the Foster ticket since
the defeat Of Foster is eqnal to
the defeat of Sherman.
The democratic party headed
by Thurman, Ewing, Pendleton,
and others presents IL front that
has no fear and which will boldly
move forward against the enemy
at all points and with ali the
power of eloquence and merit and
aided by all almost certain pros
pect of success, will move owe,
all obstacles that may pre- sent
themselves.
The election of Ewing and
Rice, two splendid dasl,ing Gen
erals of the union army, can hard
~ be considered doubtful.
The question of tree elections
advocated by the democratic
party, and bayonet elections sup
ported by the republican party,
ought to give the former a pres
tige that will be irresistible. and
give the democracy IA great and
powerful advantage over their
opponents who are striving to
render the ballot simply a regis,
tration of the edicts of a tyranni-
cal and imperious government.
In New York there are 50 far
no gubernatorial candidates Sc
lected, and the contest there will
he sharp and decisive.
The result in New York is of
immense Importance to the demo
cratic party should Ohio 90 re>
publican, but if the democracy
III Ohio carry that State, the re-
suit IN New York loses much of
Its Importance.
With Ohio the democrats can
elect a President without New
York, should Ohio go radical,
then the democrats cannot do
without New York.

"A Legacy to Jefferson
Davis.

learned that the late Mrs. Sarah
A. Dorsey of Mississippi, who
died III this city last week, leaves
a will bequeathing her whole es.
tate to Jefferson Davis. In max.
ing this beQuest Mrs. Dorsey re
ferS to the "great services and
sacrifices of Mr.. Davis On behalf
OF the South, and reproves Lis
countrymen for their failure iu
gratitude and appreciation for
such services, aud regrets the
small contribution which size is
able to make for his relief. The
estate embraced in this legacy in
cludes two large plantations in
the upper part of the State and
a" elegant villa at Beauvoir, on
the seacoast, where Mr.. Davis
is now s%ojourning. The climate
and situation of the villa have
proved especially favorable to his
health and his present occupa-
ton of study and labor in the
preparation of his book defensive
OF his administration of the office
of President Of the Confederate
States.
The above report conveys a
wrong impression of the treat
ment received by Mr.. Davis from
the southprn people. The coun-
trymen of the late President of
the Southern Confederacy have
ever been willing and ready to
aid that unfortunate man in any
Way and manner that would
smooth the pathway of his de-
clining years and render it's close
agreeable and pleasant.
The people of Texas some years
ago offered to give Mr.. Davis an
elegant home with IA sufficient
endowment to secure himself and
family from want or uneasiness
their lives. This gener-
ons offer was declined by MIR.
Davis.
When the true fact becomes
known, no reproaches upon the
of the South, who suffered
with their great and noble leader,
can be brought, and whilst the
generous legacy of Mrs. Dorsey
is worthy of commentator, her
implied reproacles are unjust aud
nnkind, if she has by implication
Dr otherwise made them.
The refreshing reading that
gwen to their readers by the
Editors Of the Northern Radical
Press concerning the baraarities
Of the South is truly editying. In
consideration of the well known
.iety of these writer's one would
naturally imagine that Southern
people are set of unmitigated
who ought not to be
suffered to live very much longer
ou this globe. But when they
come to speak of crime in their
own country the reader would
very likely think that they were
quoting scripture.

ing that the War was not yet over, and that
he would put On the fnishing-touchos by
cleaning out the Rebel Brigadicrs. We shall
bo disappointed, therefore, now that he has
the opportunity, if ho does not make an ex-
ample Of the one in question. Col Lowe
not only slandered Gen. LOGAN but the
whole State Of Illinois, and Gen. LooAH
represents the whole State. As the whole
State cannot 60 to Washington and get even
with the Rebel Brigadier for his IN
suit, it will look to its fighting repre-
sentative for satisfaction. It Will expect
him to keep his war paint on and not
wait for the Bigadier to attack him, but to
thrash him on apy fitting occasion. Having
wiped out the insult to the State, he might
get satisfaction for his own by thrashing the
rest of the Alabama delegation, which We
believe he is competent to do, notwithstand-
ing the odds.
P. Slater advices report that the Rebel
Brigadier has signifed his intention of per-
sonal1y chastising Gen. LOGAN if he does
not retract. This is phase of the code
duello Of which Gen. Logan will cheerfuly
take cognizance. On this question let his
first motion be for the ayes and noes.

A bill of the most questionable character
has been ordered to third reading in the
State Senate. It is q bill to repeal the pres
ent requirement that'no person shall be COM
1nitted to or confined in an insane asylum
without the Judgment of court, and the find
ing Of q jury, aud full notice to all persons
concerned The bill now pending provides
substantially that upon the certificate Of any.
two physicians any person may be arrested
and committed to luns6c asylum, and
detained there, the physicians to make
private examination. The same bill recog-
nizes private mad-houses, and lega1izes theim-
prisonmentof persons therein when certified
by two physicians to be insane. This bill is
going backward in the course Of civilization
and humanity. Our existing law was the
result Of long series Of abuses under the
private system. Thespecial case which aroused
public Indignation was the act of minister
Of the Gospel, by the aid of two physicians,
committing his wife to the Insane Asylum,
and keeping her there for years. when in
fact she was as sane, but not rs wicked, as he
was. The private mad-houses, and the sys-
tenn of private arrests upon the certificates
Of physicians, furnish history OF crime and
barbarity that certainly must have been over
looked by the State Senate, or they would
not have treated this bill with favor. No

Col, T. ". H1GG1ssoN delivered @ lecture be-
fore the Goethe Club few evenings since upon
ttThe Literature OF Repubic.'' Among other
things he said that one Of the advantages Of
republic over monarchy "for the production
OF literature may be cited that 1t grows up
without the shadow Of hereditary aristocracy
over its head. The monarchy may produce the
flower, but not the harvest. There ia not
great name in the history OF England for the
last 200 years that has direct male 1neal de-
scendaut. Nature utters her tprotest against
hercdity In literary distinction" Another ad-
vantage is the close contact with the people,
tsWhat is needed is the society of people We
don't like, the reading Of books we don't want
to read, and the last thing is the contact With
people with whom we agree too much. The
American needs not to blush for the quality OF
his literature; the quantity will come, even If
England or France at present publishes six
times as much as hfs own country"

The sensation Of the day in Franco is the
apparently impending trouble between
Church and State on the question of the
Educational bill recently introduced by
jules FERRY. The bill has been vio-
1enuy attacked by h1onsignor FoR-
cApE, Archbishop of AK, who in a
"pastoral !" denounced its provisions in the
most bitter and emphatic manner, Ginning
that they were intended as an attack upon
ecclesiastical teachers. and an onslaught on
Catholic colleges and universities On the
other hand, LpERE, Minister Of the
Interior, without deigning. to reply to
the allegations Of FORBADE, says that
of priest SO far forgets himself as to at
tack the institutions Of the country from
the pulpit, his deviRtions from the path in
which his duty plainly lay would be prompt
~ aad efectually suppressed. From present
appearances it would seem that Monsignor
FoacApE's radicalism is likely to result in his
personal e1dnguishment.

Michigan has been peculiarly fortunate
during the present session Of Congress in
developing among her representatives in
that body m unexpected amount of
oratorical talent, combined with that
rare qunlity in Legislative bodies,
common sense. The latest star in
the Michigan galaxy is A1r. HoRR, a gen
tleman who. since his election last full, has
been noticeable only for the profound silence
which enwrapped him. Yesterday, however,
he concluded to speak on the Legislative
bill, and asronished his hearers By
q display Of eloquence and humor
that would hare done credit to PnocroR
KNOTT in his palmy days. Mr. HoRR's char
acterization of the schemes of the Democrats
and Greenbackers, and his sarcastically
pleasant advice to the Southern Brigadiers,
in which he advised their constituents to
+' raise moro hogs and less hell, were exceed
ingly happy and apropos.

It is said that Mr. T11DEN still relies upon
the potency Of the old sbar1" to secure
the nomination in 1880, as he did in 1876.
Not in exactly the same way, however. Then
1t was first unheaded at the Convention in
st. Louis, but now he is to depend on it as
a powerful motive that will act indirectly
but powerfully in his favor. One of his
schemes is said to be to take advan-
tage OF the colorod exodus and colo
nize votes enough of that class IN
Indiana and New York to carry those States
for himself, and to usa his money to do it.
A1r. TnDEs's cup has generally been right
side up when it rained porridge, and he pro-
poses to turn tho present stampede to his
own and his party's account if possible. But
the project will hardly be successful. The
States referred to-Indiana especially
we're never popular places with the blacks
for settlement, partly on account Of the rig
orous c1imare and partly on account OF the
unjust and discriminating laws against them
And the negro is not likely to flee from the
expressions and tyranny of the Southern
bulldozing Democrat to seek the af6liation'of
his narrow-minded Northern prototype not
if he knows himself PERRY e. Smith, Col.
PEnroS, OF almost any of the old copartners,
can tell MI: TuDES how he can use his
money to much better advantage than
spend 1t in trying to bait the negro. Such
an Investment would be much worse than the
attempt to purchase an Electoral vote. :.

The feminine police spy was usually IN 40
ject, abandoned adventures, ready TO employ
her personal charms to lure men into traps
where the police could pounce down upon
them; but the women who belong to tne
Nihilists, SO far as they have been discovered,
have proved to be pure, virtuous, devoted,
and seH-sacrifcing, entering the secret guild
with the same sense Of high political mis-
sion that controls the men, ready to share
all the dangers Of tho new war upon abso-
lutism, and contributing to the cause BY
their keen intuition, and delicate attentions,
and personal bravery al much as the men.
imprisonment, torture, aud death have no
more terrors for these women than for the
most enthusiastic student Nihilist or the
most hardened soldier. The secrets OF the
league are as closely sealed In their hearts as
in any mans brea,t. They are not adven-
turesses nor Amazons in character, but gen
orally belong to the better classes, and are
as delcately organized and as piously re-
spected rs the women Of our own domestic
circles. There is little doubt that the cooper
alton OF woman has helped materially to de-
ve1op the Nihilists into their present formi-
dable proportions, and that the tact and
courage which they bring to the cause will
continue to make the sect more terrible to
the Russian Government than if it had only
men to deal with. The Nihilists have GER
tain1y shown good judgment in breaking
away from the foolish prejudice that women
cannot be trusted with secrets.

ical administration, and thus contribute
more to his own chances as candidate for
Governor than he can possibly do ny tue
vain effort to satisfy all the factions that are
crowding in upon him. he may learn
useful lesson in this respect from the mis-
take which Mr. KERN made while Sheriff III
endeagoring to satisfy all the demands maae
upon him. Independence will be found
good deal better policy. -~.-
As rule, it is obvious that MIR. HARRISON
should give preference to those Democrats
who have already had experience and DEM
onstrated- capacity for serving the CITY IN
particular positions. The Pubic .crks
Commissioner should be a man who is
familiar with the present condition OF Inc
city's improvements, competent to keep
them in repair at the smallest outlay of pub
lie money, and thoroughly proof against all
corrupt advances. Mere party service should
not be regarded as claim for any Office IN
the MAYORS gift, nor should the fact that
man has once held some subordinate Office be
accepted as reason why he should be SET
tied down into some other. The public will
be alarmed if any change shall be. SO much
as suggested in the control o. the Fire De-
partment, which, under its present manage
ment, gives strong sense Of security to all
business men and owners OF property. As
to the Police Department, the recent intro,
duction of Democratic politician into
subordinate plnce has been regarded as
star:ing-point for altogether too rapid pro-
motion, and changes in that force, should be
made with almost as much caution and hosi-
tation as in the Fire Department. Of one
thing Mr.. HARRISON may be very sure, viz. ::
The public generally, and especially all citi
IONS who have business and property inter-
ests at stake, have no concern whatever in
the manifold individual efforts which are
being made to grab the city offices, and take
still less interest in the strife of factions;
bu. the people as whole will welcome with
peculiar satisfaction the announcement Of
such appointments as shall cart? *fi:h them
promise of competent and faithful service.
