made an appointment OF singular fitness ana
worth. Mr.. Walker is, in the first place.
trained business man, who will discharge
his duties with skill and fidelity, ana
must give universal satisfaction. ms
is necessarily and properly the hrSt
test OF an appointment of this kind. But
there are other considerations which render
it one peculiarly fit TO ne made. Mr.. Walker
is one of the most scholarly aud thoughtihl
of our citizens. His studies have been devoted
particularly TO financial subjects, and the
accuracy and breadth of his Investigations
have given him an established reputation
both in this country and in France. lie has
long been a correspondent of some OF the best
known French writers upon finance, and VIII
be warmly welcomed in that country by stu
dents of monetary science. In short, Mr.
Walker will dignity the Office he holds, and
that is always thing to be grateful for.
To-day promises to bring exciting scenes in
Harrisburg. The situation there has already
undergone, in the mere preliminary caucuslng'
important and dramatic changes. 1t was at
first thought that the supporters OF Mi.
Blaine. finding themselves in the minority
and without efficient leadership, might be
content to allow n resolution instruct
ing for Grant TO go through, trusting to the
prospect that Mr.. Blaine would be the
second choice of the delegation, if General
Grant should not be a candidate. But when
the Blaine men came together to take ac-
count of their strength they were delighted
70 find that they had within a very few
votes of a majority, and that moreover
number of skilled leaders had shown them
selves. The whole number of delegates
elected to t0-day's convention is 251. OF
these 1O4 attended the Blaine caucus
last night, and it is believed that the
whole number of earnest Blaine men is
not less than no. or within 16 OF
majority. The contest actually began last
night, with preliminary caucus OF all the
delegates, and there was much excitement.
The roll calls showed 1913 delegates
standing firmly by Senator Cameron
and ITO against him But the Blaine men al
legged that they were cheated in the count. AS
our dispatches show, the minority are fighting
for two thngs-that the delegates shall be
chosen by districts and not in body, and
that there shall be a yea and nay
vote upon the resolution to instruct
for General Grant. The programme of the
majority, if last nights events are a fair indi-
cation, does not include either of these things;
but unless they are conceded there will be q
bitter dispute in the convention.

THE old Ku.kluX organization is re.
ported, by advices At Washington, to have
been revived in Virginia, under the self.
assumed name OF Southern Regulstors.o
Its operations are carried on in secret and
under disguise, and warnings, whippings
and murder are its manifestations. Among
its victims are honest and reputable white
citizens, whose only otiense is their politi-
cal sentiments. Prompt measures have
been taken TO bring these conspirators to
justice, but when arrested, identified and
indicted tor their criminal ottenses, they
procure bail through their sympathizers,
and gsin their release, and the laws
and forms of justice are deied snd turned
into farce. 1t Is the opinion of well
informed persons that this is only the be
ginning of a repetition OF the Ku.Klux
