The atteUlpt to throw off the responsibility
for Miss Eaders:' failure upon the manage
nlcrt of llooleySs Theatre ought not to sue
coed. Miss Eaders would have fallch at any
theatre i'll this country; and the better the
stage settings the l1:orc conspicuous her fail
ure would have been. Tho same is true OF
the supporting company. 1t did not cause,
assist in, or aegrayatc the failure. II Miss
Faders had appeared ut Iryiny's Theatre in
London. or WAflack's Theatre in New York,
her Deficiencies would have been more 1n:lni-
fest and her fate more swift and u1epulvocal
than it was 1T 1iooley'S. III saying this We
do hot offer all apology either for the
stage settings or for tile company.
Both were :s5onlinable. Hut they were
worthy of the occasion. 1t ought to be easy
to appear as Il dramatic lumislary when one
is surrounded by Il collection Of talow-dips
and o'1anterls. Eut Miss Iaders did

The general Judgment in regard to SAINT

subject is exhausted in two acts. The play,
OF course, Is utterly worthless. All such

Specially dramas written 10 exhibit the lila
lect, the nilnble heels, or the vocal yearnings
OF actors like Eia,net, Murphy, Williams,

that nobody expects anything Of them, anil.
consequently, nobody IS disappointed. but

There is a serious split just now,
on a.general principle, in the Repub-
lican party. One set of political
thinkers hold that to keep public
servants in their places, without
%suhjecting them to the paltry vicis-
situdes of changes of administration,
is the true policy-these are the ms.
The other set hold that rotation" in
office is the foundation of popular
government-these are the outs.
The editor of the Register trained
with the latter until our P. o. was
disposed of, when his voice and pen
Immediately became silent. He
don't SEE m to know, or else don't

that worked him up so high on the

trict.

The following is the substance of
the Ohio Fish Law, and will be of
interest to many of our readers es.
pecially the mill-owners:
Under a penalty Of a fine of from
$50 to 500 it is forbidden to catch
any fish for sailing and packing and
selling from the LIST of June to
the 1st of September. The fine goes
into the Common School Fund. The
owner of every dam across any river
or creek in the State must keep a
chute OF open way for the passage
of fish. When he does not do so
such passage may be made at his
expense. Fishing by seine or net,
or in any other way than by hook
and line, except for minnows, is pro-
hibited, except in the Mercer our
ty Reservoir, Laramie Reservoir, in
Shelby. county, and Lake Erie. The
penalty for violating this provision
is a fine of from $40 to $50, or i'm
prisonment from ten to twenty days.
Fishing of any sort, except by hook
and line, and except in bodies of
water containing as much as a thou
sand acres, is prohibited during the
spawning season, from April 1st to
June 10Th.

Gone North.

RICHMOND, IND, March 13.-I. N.
Davis, of the indianapolis, Bloom
and Western Railroad, held a con-
ference to-day with the Railroad
Committee and Executive Board If
the Business Exchange. He says
that it is now definitely settled that
the road will run ten miles north of
Richmond, and no amount of per-
suasion can induce them to change.
The company will build a branch
from Hollandsburg>to Economy and
give all the advantages of a main
line in shipping freight. A regular
system of trains will be put on to
meet the through passenger trains,
and coaches will be run from Rich
mond to Indianapolis without
change. The gentlemen represent
ing the Exchange. were not highly
elated. over the proposition and they
will hold a private session to take
action in the matter.

The late Senator Matt H. Carpen-
ter, of Wisconsin, was a lawyer of
the fisrt class in ability, learning and
brilliancy.
MI. Carpenter, though a staunch
Republican himself, acted as one of
the counsel for the Democrats before
the Electoral Commission in 1877,
on which occasion he says:
81. do not appear for Mr.. Tilden,
but for ten thousand legal voters Of
the State of Louisiana, who, without
accusation or proof, Indictment or
trial, notice or hearing, have been
disfranchised by four Williams incor-
porated in perpetual succession,
whose office title is the Returning
Board of louisiana"
MI. Carpenter made many fas
nous speeches, but perhaps none
more worthy of remembrance than
this.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Leader takes the PLAIN DEAL
Err 10 task for asserting that the ex-
pense of State legislation is kept up
while thememhers of the Legislature
are travelling over the country for a
whole week at a time. 1t observes:
We would thank the ingenious edi-
tor of the p. D. if he would inform US
how this "trick" keeps up expenses.
The members of the Legislature will
receive 5000. for the session, no more
nor less. If they were 10 remain in
Washington until next fall, or if they
were 10 adjourn tomorrow, they
would draw no more.
An explanation does not call for
any special ingenuity, but we hasten
to explain. tits true that the mem
bers are paid by the year and are
paid whether they are in session or
not. The PLAIN Dealer did not as
sert to the contrary. But the clerks,
sergeant-at-arms, pages and officials
of one and another sort are not paid
by the year but by the day. These
expenses SO on while the members
are ~junketing, although the duties
do not. While the Legislature is
constructively in session all the eX
penses OF .legislation except the sal
aries of members go on all the same,
and just by so much as the session
is heightened out in this way, the
expense is piled up unnecessarily
and the people have TO pay it. The
excuse that the members are paid
by the year and therefore it does not
matter how long a session they hold
is thin. Last. summer, when Con-
gress held a long session, lasting al
most into mid summer, every Re
publican paper in the country howl
ed long and loud about it and made
no end of denunciation of the Dem
%ocratic party on that account. The
Leader itself was foremost in such
attacks, and it would not admit the
excuse it now puts up on behalf OF
the members of the Legislature, al
though members of Congress are
paid by the year as well. Besides,
even if there were no question OF
additional and useless expense, the
Legislature is inexcusable. 1t is
practicing a fraud upon the people.
1t has pretended TO be in session,
while, in fact, it has not been in SEES
sion at all. The people do not elect
legislators togo junketing off in pal,
ace cars to New Orleans, or Wash
ington, or Harrisburg, and where
not. Much less does it elect them
to do this sort of thing while pretend.
ing to be in session. 1t is vain for
the Leader to put up excuses for
such conduct. The people gave the
Republican party of Ohio a fair
trial, and it has given the State the
most worthless, the. most incompe-
tent, and in all respects The worst
Legislature the State ever had. The
people will not try the experiment
again.

A London newspaper makes pub
lie what it claims TO be a letter writ
ten by Garfield to the Golden Free
Trade Club, in which while express
ing his inability, for various pa
triotic reasons, to carry out all the
principles of the club, he approves
all possible ventilation of free trade
in America" This announcement
being brought to Mr.. Garfield's at
te~ntion, he denies that he ever used
such language, or expressed such
sentiments. He says that what he
did say was that he did not believe
sin the principles of the Golden
Free Trade Club, but would be
pleased to see a full discussion of
the question of tariff" Mr.. Garfield
certainly is a most unfortunate man
with his correspondence. He denied
the paternity of the Morey letter.

A lawsuit is in progress between
the new-fashioned and the old fash
Toned Quakers in Indiana, the con-
test being over the possession of GER
tain church property, but arising
from differences of religious belief.
One branch of the Quakers no long
er wear a peculiar habit; they do
not wait for the spirit to move them
in meetings; they have salaried
preachers, and have abandoned
many of the other long established
Quaker usages. The conservative
branch claim that such worshippers
are not Quakers at all, and should
not be allowed to use Quaker meet
ing houses.

Extreme legislation on the liquor
question is all the rage in the West.
Kansas has enacted a prohibitory
law of a very stringent character.
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and 9TH
er Western States are doing the
same. Nebraska closed it's legisla-
tive session a few days ago, after
having passed a law fixing the price
of licences at $500 to $1,000 per
year, and provided that saloon keep
ers must give bond in $4,000 and be
responsible for civil damages. A
bill was also passed making it a
misdemeanor to treat q man to alec
holic drinks.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
SEYMOUR, IND, Mar. 10.-Wheth-
er Gin the mind" in surveys OF in
reality, the Evansville and Dayton
Railroad is billed to pass through
Seymour. Because, at the start,
some of our people suspicioned that
it is intended to break down the Sey |
mour, Evansville and Bellefontaine
Railroad, the ~pretent:ous magnates
of the E. and D.. threatened to leave
Seymour to the left and strike North
Vernon; or, running this way, to
hurry past this point with al posi-,
BILE speed. Some of the E. and d.
fellows claimed to be worth their
weight in gold, didn't want any To-
cal aid, and left the impression that
they carry about $4,000, 600 in their
vest-pockets. Money would not in
du@e, them to swervea hairs breadth
from their survey, but they "might
do it to spite Seymour folks" who
are disposed to help Colonel Robert
Pattison's twelve-year old, tangible,
hold fast and build the road scheme.
How different this gusto from the
announcement in a Richmond lin
diana) dispatch in to days ENoUIR-
Err. The dispatch says the Rich
mond Business Exchange is negoti-
ating with the E. and ID. projectors
to vary their route six miles, and
take in that city. A Greenfield In
diana) dispatch announces that
these wealthy fellows want a 2 per
cent. tax in three towns hips.
Seymourites-than whom there is
not a more enterprising lot of men
anywhere-generally regard the E.
and D. proposed line as a fraud de-
signed in the interests of the E. and
7. III. Railroad to defeat Col. Patti
sons project to which many thou
sands of dollars local aid have al
ready been voted. We are not op-
posed to, but decidedly in favor of,
a railroad along the proposed routes.
The faith of our people is with the
S., E. and B., but the Company that
} first gets to shoveling dirt, laying
cross-ties and rails, and raises a
shrek from the whistle of the iron
horse, will, all the way through
, meet with the hearty co operation o
the public.

WASHINGTON z Z
From u Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,


WASHINGTON, D. c.,
March II, 1881.
: The Inauguration. over, the adj
dress delivered and the Cabinet
chosen, a wild scramble for the mi.
nor offices, has Commenced. Presi
dent Garfleld-it is pleasant to say
President" when a man ~is5really
elected to the ofice-is overrun with
delegations, single individuals, and
letters by the bushel, all on the sub
'ject of places abroad and at home.
So are the Cabinet officers, especial
ly Messrs. Blaine and Window. So
are such Senators as are supposed to
have influence. So even are Sena-
tors Conkling and Cameron, who do
not seem to have any influence. So
is General Grant, our only living ex
President, who has been in the city
for two days. Yet it is not likely
removals will be very numerous. AS
a measure of good policy President
Garfield will retain a vast majority
of officials, no doubt. Some of them
have commissions signed by Lin
coin, Grant and Hayes, and, of
course, they represent all tie mum
berless phases of that organized in
consistency known as the Republi-
can party. To keep them in office
ensures a presumably respectable
performance of the public business,
while to remove them would not
probably improve the service much
and would certainly increase the bit
terness already felt toward the adj
ministration by great men who were
overlooked when the large offices
were given out. President Garfield
gave us a better address, in some re-
spects, than l expected, and the
above suggestion is freely offered as
a reward of merit.
1t is evident already that, except
in the case of the English Mission,
which will be retained by that scho-
lar and gentleman, James Russell
Lowell, the important foreign ap,
pointments will. be given because OF
party service and without special re.
gard to the fitness of the appointees.
The only advantages this admins.
~tration will have over the last in that
respect is that the services so paid
for are cleaner than those performed
in 1876.
There will probably be no extra
session. One is urged only by ex
!, IRENE Radicals, and the chief reason
tgiven for calling one is the alleg
ed necessity for investigating the
!, claims of Southern Republicans tt
~seats in Congress, based on charges
of Democratic frand. Probably tn,
President, in the first place, put.
little faith in these charges and il
the second place, he has declared 70,
a policy in connection with the ma
terial and educational interests o
tie country, which can never be sue
, cessfuf without the aid Of Southern
. Senators and Representatives, ant
. it is not likely he will commence hi
administration by a raid into tn,
country where Sc many of his neces
sary supporters are. There will b
20 extra session unless he shall sub
NIT, as did Mr. Hayes, to tie bull
: doing processes of Radical Repub
licans.
Gen. and Mrs. Grant called at tn
White House yesterday morning

: ident about half an hour. Befor
