"Thc star" Wrong Again.


With its usual inaccuracy the Star last
night asserted that an attempt was to be
made in the Senate to administer the oath
of Office to Senator-elect Window, which,
said the Star, would be opposed by the Dem.
ocrats. There is no truth in this statement.
The question of swearing in Senator Win
dom in advance of receiving his credentials
from the Legislature was informally dis
cussed among Republican Senators day or
two ago, and the conclusion was then
reached that Senator Edgerton should re-
tain his seat until the credentials of Sena-
tor-elect Window reached here, which will be
by tomorrow. There is q precedent for
this action, parallel case having occurred
when Senator Armstrong, of Missouri, who
had been appointed by the governor to fill
q vacancy, held his seat in the Senate after
Gen. Shields had been elected his successor
until the latter had arrived here with his
credentials.

Climatic peculiarities affecting a peoples

that very many points of nice etiquette should

To distrain upon cooking-stove is illegal;
an ordinance of bare justice to the British i'm

conditions of added independence would have

Not only have grave seignoirs Of the law

ment OF all the feminine law courts in Canada,
and from it there is no appeal.
Where British maidens Law by iudiciops "a.

w nat Is your opinion of that statement?"
Inc statement that Gen. Lee never contem-
plated surrender is not true. L had q confer
ence with Gen. Lee in his own quarters at Ap-
pomattox Immediately after the surrender
when, In discussing the latter days Of the con-
1ederacy, he said to me that some time before
during the winter, he had urged upon Mr.. Da-
Wis the deslraDlllty OF making terms with Gen.
Grant. He detailed TO me some of the conver.
sations with Mr.. Davis, which do not now re-
call. Davis, he said, would not listen to the
proposition, and insisted that he must fight tn
the last. Gen. Lee told me that he explained
to Mr. Davis the situation of the two armies.
tne condition OF his transportation, and the In
ferlority OF his command in point of numbers
to that OF Grant, and that when Grant at
tackled him 1t would be next to impossible to
get away, and therefore that terms had better
be made without further loss of life or proper
ty. Grants cavalry, his artillery horses, and
his transportation were in excellent condition,
and only nine miles from his base of supplies.
Lees were quite the reverse, and he had no
supplies to be spoken Of in case of o retreat
The talk between Gen. lee and myself upon
this subject marked itself most indelibly upon
my memory, for he evinced so much feeling In
reference to Mr.. Davis's refusal to make terms
that / said:
i wish you had called a conference OF YOUR
officers after Davis's REFUSAL
What would they have done?' said Lee.
They would have taken the matter into
their own hands, said L, 'and authorized Won
to deal with the matter according to your own
judgment
General Lee thought moment, and then
said: 1T is too late to remedy mistakes now
His officers would have done Just that thing,
for Lee had the confidence, not only Of the SOL
diers, but Of all the Confedsrates, a thousand
fold more than Davis had. Indeed, Davis was
seriously disliked by our people. He kept In
position and about him his peculiar pets, and
the oftener they lost fight the more frequent
ly were they promoted History will never
credit jeff Davis with being either model ex-
ecutive officer or a great general. His book
will doubtless convict him Of being neither"
General Malone discussed the various move
ments OF the two armies in a manner that
proved his intimacy with the subject, but bo-
yond the facts narrated above there was moth
ing further disclosed of an historic or remarka-
bly, interesting nature.

been largely taken possession of by English
men, some gentlemen from England buying
estates of great size. Two brothers named
Close have purchased 5000 acres, which
they divide into farms which are rented in

crops, instead OF fixed sum of money is

THE Concord IN. H. Monitor (Rep.) says
of the recent Senatorial contest in the Leg
islature of that State: "The result is not
pleasing, of course, to those ardent Republi-
cans who believe that the present Legisla-
ture not only has the right to choose, but
will be derelct in its duty if it fails, as now
fail it must. But time and reflection will
convince them that the subject has been
wisely disposed of, that a very great danger
has been averted, that the question never
ought to have been taken out of the Legisla-
ture, being one for each member to decide
for himself upon his conscience and after
securing all the light possible, and that the
Republican party has been happily delivered
from a peril into which it has drifted, i'm
PEELED by circumstances not foreseen by any
one and for which no one in particular is re-
sponsible."

BY LAUNCELoT.
The day o'erbrims with splendor like a rose:
No hint of storm is in the far off sky
watch the blue sea as it comes and goes
Beneath my eye.
Toward the mirroring waters slowly dips
The broad-winged gull, and, rising, seaward
glides:
Toward the city toll the laden ships
On favoring tides.
There comes to me the tumult of the keys;
The murmur of the marts, and scents which
bear
Me into zones, where every passing breeze
Is sweet snare:-
A lure to languor. Ahl but what of this?
l must the sweet spell shatter and away;
And, midst the mart's moil, where grey Duty
is,
Wear out the day.
For Duty saith, "Life is too real thing
10 waste in worthless ways; for bread men
moan
For soul and body bread-twere shame to
bring
Them but stone"
I glance down shamefaced-wise "'Tis true"
Isigh,-
Then goldenly the sun gilds dome and spire,
And then, an oriole goes sparkling BY
A winged fire.
And fair city of long-dead day
Beameth before me, and the gleam of gear:
Broad shield, and billowy plume, and banner
ell gay,
And lSsome spear,
Leashed hound and hooded hawk and rare
robed danes,
And knights who curb tall steeds; and to my
ear,
"Sir Launcelot! Sir Galahadp" glorious
names,
The soft winds bear,
And the sound stirs my soul as doth the air
A sumbering Tyre, and, come whatever may,
Am lost to the world and all its care
For one brief day.
And gathering glory in the tourney field,
viii forget my time and be as one
Who weareth mail, and beareth lance and
shield
Till set of sui.
And winneth glance of damosels whose lips
As they would fain be kist, smile down ON
him;
For thoughts skim silent centuries as swift
ships
The oceans skim.
SO will have one Joyous holiday
Despite OF men, and marts and merchandise;
A little tide in pleasant fields to stray,
Meath cloudless skies.

BOSTON Advertiser: The visit of ex- Gov
ernor Garcelon of Maine to Chicago to at
tend the meeting there of Sons of Maine
was made the occasion of extending to him
special honors as representative man of
the Democratic party. Carter Harrison,
once silly member of Congress and now
mayor of Chicago, was the leading spirit in
the movement of Democratic politicians to do
especial honor to the man who achieved for
himself notorious dishonor while he held
the office of governor. No conspiracy of
fraud to cheat the people out of the fair re-
suit of an election has surpassed that in
which Governor Garcelon bore a conspicu-
GUS part, and no man whom the politics of
recent years have thrown to the surface for
a time, not excepting the carpet -baggers and
bulldozers of the South, the ring-masters of
Philadelphia and New York, has better
earned the right to be let severely alone.
When the Chicago Democracy honor him
they indicate the quality of their metal. 1t
is as scandalous as the Dorsey banquet
would have been if it had occurred after in
stead OF before the revelation of his connec-
ton with the star-route swindling.

A Word to the Land-League

a WOIO 10 UQ0 LanO-L0agU0.
The appeals of the Irish Land League for
moral sympathy and material aid have been
generously responded to by Irishmen and
the descendants of Irishmen in America,
and by many of us who trace our blood to
other nationalities. The American public
have felt that the larfd-system established
by the English in Ireland is unjust and in
tolerably oppressive, and have been ready
and even eager to give what aid they could
TO It's destruction. Indeed their generosity
mas outrun their discretion and sense of
justice; and they have made an interference
in the affairs of the British Empire that
they would hotly resent were it made by
strangers in the affairs of the American
Republic.
Whatever money has been given by Irish
or native Americans, and whatever words of
cheer have gone out from either of these
classes OF citizens, have been for the benefit
OF the suffering Irish peasantry Neither
dollars nor harangues were given for the
manufacture of dynamite bombs or the min
ing of English cities. The money was to
be expended for the relief of Irish sufferers,
and the redress of Irish grievances. 1t was
not to be used, as some of it apparently has
been used-in 'wrecking British gunboats or
blowing up British buildings. Mr. O'Dono-
van Rosa boasts that the blowing up of the
Doterel in the straits of Magellan was the
result of plot of his contriving, and the
men arrested for completely in the devilish
attempt to mine the town-hall at Liverpool
say that the means for doing their diabolcal
work came from America.
1t is probable that these men are liars.
If they are, they should be denounced as
such by the Land League in this country.
Ii the money given to that organization is
to be spent in hiring assassins the sooner it's
subscription books are closed the better.
While fully recognizing the. evils that Ire
land endures, and ardently desiring prompt
! remedy, the Americanp people, of all descents,
will sternly condemn the methods to which
Rosa and his like have resorted, and with
draw their sympathy from cause which is
furthered in so devilish ways. If the Land
League expects to receive aid from Ameri-
can citizens, whether they be of Celtic or
Saxon blood, it must at once disavow any
responsibility for or sympathy with the in
famous acts that have cast so deep stain
upon the Irish cause. Our faults may be
many, but an admiration of Al Jebal cannot
be reckoned among them. We are conf
dent that Irishmen in Maine have no words
but those of condemnation and no feeling
but that of horror for the atrocities at
tempted by men who profess to work in
their interest and who bank upon their
credit.
