The Maine outrage was consummated
yesterday in the organization of the Leg
islature by the countcd-in members. The
Republicans took no part and claim that
there was not a quorum voting, but what
does Garcelon care for that, he has disre-
garded the opinion Of the Supreme Court,
and the will of the people.

General Garhelds nomination by ac-
clamation Of United States. Senator by
the Republicans for the Ohio Legislature
is splendid tribute to one of the truest
men in American politics to-day, Gener-
al Garfield represents the best element in
the party which is and must be the hope
of the country, and his unanimous nomi-
nation, putting aside all thought Of the
personal distinction designed for him, is
a proof Of the instinct with which the
Republican party in stirring periods
seeks the leadership Of it's best men.
When it is remembered what distin-
gushed Republicans have been proposed
as candidates for the place to which Gen
eral Garfield has been chosen without u
dissenting voice, the honor seems to be
great indeed Considered in its Presi-
Dental significance, this must be regarded
as a handsome gain for Secretary Sher-
man, especially us one of the candidates
mentioned against the General was an
ardent Grant man.

beginning with the announcement that
"several biblical scholars and theologians
ofmost respectable standing are pronounc-
ing the opening chapters of Genesis to
be unhistorical," examines the matter at
length, and comes to the following con-
cluSionS:
"The Book of Genesis is history divinely
certified as to its accuracy There is no
divine intimation that its apparent plain
and simple record Of first things is pa
renthetical to its general historical
character, and there is no divine warning
to look for hidden meaning. The only
reasonable Interpretation of the history OF
the first things in Genesis is the plain
historical Interpretation.

quate to avenge the frightiul crimes of
which they are guilty. The woman's

parallel to the terrible treatment to
which Miss Salome Burkett, OF Green's

LONDON, August 3.-The World says:
A marriage has been arranged between
the Baroness Burdett. Coutts and Ash
mead Bartlett, her Secretary and Al
moned for some time past. The recent
statement to the same effect, which Was

tended bridegroom. The gentleman is
q brother OF Ellis Ashmead Bartlett NJ.
P. by becoming Bartlett's wife the
Baroness will lose very large portion
OF her income to the extent, it is
said, OF over 100000 yearly. This
is in accordance with the will OF
Harriet Mellon, Duchess OF st. Albano,
who bequeathed her vast property to
Miss Angelo, now Baroness Burdett.
Coutts; providing, if she married an
alien or naturalized subject, her inter-
est in the Coutts bank and other prop.
erty shall cease. Bartlett is an Ameri.

is asserted that the remonstrances
against the marriage engagement from
the best friends Of the Baroness and
the highest quarters failed to have any
effect, and the marriage will shortly
take place. The Baroness is sixty.six
years old. Bartlett has not yet com.
pleted his twenty.ninth year.

A BIG SOCIETY EVENT IN LONDON.

As,yet there is no marked improvement
in Mr.. Gladstone's condition, and there
is no question but that the great En-
glish Premier is seriously i'll. Since he
first entered the House OF Commons, in
1882, his life was one OF almost incessant
toll, and at his advanced age, although
endowed by nature with q constitution
OF iron, the cares aud anxieties inciden-
tai to the high office to which he was
called in April last, could not but have
q powerful effect in weakening his sys-
tenn and making him liable to sudden
attacks as that from which he is now
suffering. A Panama telegram gives q
detailed. description Of the: ingenious
method adopted by the Peruvians
for blowing up the Chilian
transport Loa, in the harbor Of Calloa.
There is a rumor in Lima that band Of
unknown men entered Moquequa and
murdered number OF sick Chilian SOL
diers. Later returns from the French
elections show a Waterloo defeat for
the Bonapartists. The Compensation
for disturbance in Ireland bill was de.

NATIONAL BANK NOTES.
Wonderful limitations by Couuterfeiters
A wholesale Change Proposed.

WASHINGTON, August 3-Mr. CAST
lear. superintendent of engraving in the
Bureau oi Engraving and Printing, and
one of the most accomplished experts IN
the detection of counterfeit bank notes
i'm the world, thinks that new design
for National bank notes ought to be
adopted. The old designs have been in
use MANY wears, and every denomina-
ton except the ones and one thousands
have been counterfeited. Large amounts
of counterfeit National bank notes
are probably in circulation now,
the existence OF which is unsus-
pected. The fact that the design
for any denomination of National
hank notes is the same for all banks,
with the exception OF the name oil the
banks, renders the task ot the counter
feiter comparatively easy. Alter having
made his plate he can throw out ms
notes as long as he finds market Tor
th.m. Then, when they bcome adver-
tised as counterieits, he can change the
name Of his bank and go on with his
printing from the old plates. ,
By device adopted at the Bureau oil
Engraving and Printing new plates may
he made with the charter numbers OF
the respective National banks forming
so conspicuous a portion OF the general
design that it would be easier 10 make u
new plate than to change the Old one,
As an evidence OF the perfection
which the counterfeiters sometimes at.
tain. il NAV be said that an ofhciai oil
the Revere Bank in Boston, upon re-
ceiying back from the Treasury Depart
ment a slOOcounterfeit OF ITS own notes
wrote sharp letter eritizlslng she iLeaI s
ury practices, declaring that the BANK
was ready to receive all such notes, ana
that its officers recognized the sigma
lures upon the returned note as their
own.
Only two denominations OF the green
backs printed at the Bureau Oh EngraV
ing and Printing have ever been coun.
terieited, while all denominations OF
those printed from plates made by pri-
yate companies have been counterieited.

The disorders and revolis reporte'i

the assertion that all was quiet. The
opposition, enraged at General Gonzales

despot, and predicts that Gonzales
will be a worse one. The
situation OF the country is confused
and undefined. President Diaz has call.
ell General Gonzales to the Capital.
The late disorders at Mazatlin were So

nunciados with four cannon, with Gen.
Vamirez at their head, and two hundred

South, where he has been trying to ar.
range for fast mail route 10 Savannah
and New Orleans. 1t is not true, as re.
ported, that he has been waiting for cool
weather to start the route. What causes
the delay is that, instead OF a continuous
line OF road under one management, as
in the case OF trunk lines from the East
TO the West, Southern railroads are short,
and each under different management,
which difficulty has to be treated with.
Between New York and New Orleans
the proposed fast mail will have to pass
over ten different roads, and he must
MT some plan to. which all will conform.

rangement, and he hopes in month or
