st. Petersburg Letter in Revue DIPLOMATIC ne.
The Russian minister, who does not at
present, at any rate, contemplate leaving
Russia, is-the story of his Polish promotion
being an idle invention-now living at Rue
Millisnaia, close to the Winter Palace. The
house is 'un petit palais,' fronted by four
sombre columns which give it a mournful
air. Once these frowning portals are passed,
however, the interior is charming; every
thing is we'll ordered, and wears a pleasant,
even gay aspect. General Ignatieff himself
occupies only two rooms, in one of which he
receives his guests, while the other is a libra
ry or den where his real work is done. The
reception room is luxurious in its appoint
ments. 1t is, in fact, a veritable museum
of Eastern curiosities. japanese, stuffs, cur
tains and hangings from China, in all sorts
OF fantastic patterns, are scattered about;
there are Turkish sofas, Persian chairs and
mats, while articles of vertu lie about in
picturesque p~rofusion. One sees in every
thing the tastes of a man who has spent q
great part of his life in the East and cher
ishes his recollection warmly. The work
shop of the General contains a collection of
historical arms, unique of their kind; each
piece has a tradition and each is marked by
rich and curious workmanship; all have
been given to him at one time or another by
their owners. For instance, one Sees the pis-
tolls of the late Sovereign Prince of Albania,
a long pohisFd of Schamyl, and a gun richly
chased presenteo-te him BY the Sultan Abful
Aziz.
Electing the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Although appointed By her majesty, DR..
Benson did not fully become elect-archbish
OPP of Canterbury until Jan. 20. on which day
the chapter of Canterbury cathedral gathered
in the cathedral library, and in s%trictest priva-
cy performed the quaint ceremony which has
been regularly observed in electing every
archbishop since the time of Henry VIII.
The Dean announced the soErpose for which
the chapter had been called, read the congo
d~'elire, accompanied by the letter recommend
atory from Her Majesty and a voluminous
formula requiring the chapter to elect the
Right Rev. DIR. Benson, bishop of Truro, as
Archbishop of Canterbury. The chapter
then proceeded to the election, each member
voting separately on paper, the royal request
being observed by the unanimous vote of the
chapter. Two official notifications of the
proceedings were then prepared, one for the
crown and one for the Archbishop, setting
forth that DR.. Benson waselected archbishop.
A record of che proceedings was then read
and signed by the chaptet and four witness
es. A thanksgiving peal svas rung on the ca
thedral bells at the cloaFof the chapter, and
the Dean announced the election to the con-
gregation at the cathedral in the afternoon,
when a special TIE Deum was sung.

THERE was more solid work being done
ial contest than at any previous time since
the legislature convened. The Windomites
have, at last, become thoroughly. alarmed
and they are mastering all their forces for
the conflict. At the Merchants last even
ing the Window cohorts were out in force
and were as busy as bees. Whether they
had any reason for the faith that
was in them remains to be seen.
McLaren, Fletcher, Gilfllan, Sabin, Rus
sell Blakely and NUMEROUS lesser lights
we're fitting through the corridors. In the
early part of the evening there was a no.
table absence of the anti Window leaders
which was explained later on by the an
nouncement that private conference of
their forces was in progress. About 10
p. m. Charley Gilman, Cole, Dunnell and
others of that side - Of the house
began putting in an appearance,
showing that their q, can
ference had Terminated. A GLOBE envoy
overhauled them to learn results. They
were reticent as to details, but free and
positive with their assurances that the De-
I feat of Window never seemed more terI
tain. They assured the envoy that they
had had enough present in the conference
and positively pledged never. to 60 into
caucus or to vote for Window, to- ensure
his defeat. .sAnd We shall have more in con-
ference tomorrow night than we had to-
night" was the triumphant assurance of
one of the anti Window crew.. 80. -@S
On the other hand the Window man
ayers profsssed more confidence than ever.
They conceded that the CAUCUS would
probably be, postponed until Monday
night, and in whisper, said ''we did
lose three or four votes yesterday but they
have GENE back now"
And this seemed to be the cause of their
happiness. Not that they had gained any
thing, butthat they had won back what they
compared with the vision they had been
feasting on, it looks pretty luxuriant.
Among the distressing rumors of the
evening was the report that all the Scandin-
avians in the Legislature, some thirty or
thirty five, had agreed to bring out Knute
Nelson.
During the evening ex-Gov. Pillsbury
dropped into the Merchants. AS there
have been hints that he might figure as a
dark horse GLOBE envoy promptly well
cemed him. He disclaimed being a can
didate, which is what a dark horse ought
to do, and stated, that while he had merely
come down to buy some horses, and did
not know much about the senatorial ques-
ton, he had supposed Window would be
the man. ~
The fact that the caucus committee on
the Part of the house was not appointed
until yesterday, shows that the Window
crowd seek delay. Their only hope is to
gain time and put the ldueats where they
will do the most good.

WINDOW SHOULD BE DEFEATED.

The columns of the GLOBE bear witness
that it has not INDUCED in the personal
abuse and vituperation which have char
acterized many of the Republican papers
which have been discussing the merits or
the reverse of Mr.. Window. Neither has
the GLOBE any political ends to serve, as it
well understands that if it is not Mr.. Win
dom, it will be some other Republican who
is chosen. Hence in considering the sena-
torial question the GLOBE has neither per-
sonal or political ends to serve, but simply
the public welfare.
There are ample aud cogent reasons
why Mr.. Window should not longer be re-
tanned as the representative of Minnesota
In the senate. After a service of ten wears
in the House, he was transplanted, with
only two years vacation, to the senate.
where he has remained with the exception
of few months in the cabinetl. for
twelve years, making twenty -two years of
public service. He is now asking another
lease of six years, which, if secured, will
give him twenty-eight years of public life
at Washington.
The Republicans of Minnesota are GER
tainly very magnanimous and self sacri-
fcing, if they will consent to allow one
man to usurp the highest positions NTH cir
gift for twenty-eight years. That is a pe-
Rod that will shut out the most promising
and able men in the State. It covers the
entire active portion of human life, after
reaching maturity, and at one fell swoop
obIiterates the political aspirations of
generation. 1t is NO wonder that
there is revolt against Mr..
WINDOWS longer continuance in Office.
The grounds for his defeat would be-
ample if they had no other basis than the
fact that he should step aside at the end

IT is about time to look for another
series of squalls in the Republican camp.
Our Washington special says the Presi-
dent has determined upon the removal OF
Collector Robertson and District Attorney
Woodford, of New York, and the names OF
their successors will be sent to the senate
in a few days. This will inevitably be a
revival of the old warfare between the
stalwarts and half-breeds over the re-
movals, and Arthur's fur will be made to
fly at a lively rate.

Reform school Lerislot,on.

II the eloquence of Col. Hicks who was reused
to considerable degree of enthusiasm by the
opposition to his bill in the house yesterday, to
amend the law of '79 by changing the age from
sixteen to eighteen years for admission of infants
sentenced by the United States courts to the
State Reform school, shall result in a general
revision OF the law pertaining to that institution
some good besides the entertainment of the few
spectators, who listened to it, will have been
reached.
While II this particular instance the bow in
question may not be past reformation and while
it may be that special act to admit him may be
wise it is also true that to admit youths of such
mature age in general would be in effect to turn
1t from a reformatory institution into a school
of crime. The writer was for number of wears
connected with similar institution in
Wisconsin, and soon after its incep-
ton it was found necessary to
reduce the age from eighteen years to sixteen,
and even at that, unless the class of elder in
mates were separated from the younger, the
most jealous efforts for their reformation often
proved abortive. The family system, adopted
by that institution and which has been in use
for number of years by all the principal iu-
'NAAAAS ASANAA4oeOAy AholAIuIAOuS VI UQ0 country.
might be adopted by our own institution with
the most beneficial results.
Persons who have never come into contact
with juvenile criminals have no conception of
the early age at which many of them mature.
nor are they aware with what sort of fascinat ON
the younger ones listen to the recounting of the
exploits Of their more elder and experienced fell
lows. A strict classification of these youthful
offenders should be made as soon as possible af-
ter their commitment and a separation
according to their several degrees
OF advancement in crime, by use
of the family system would render the POSSIBLE
ties for good of reform school thousand-fold
greater. Our legislators, however, should not
tamper with the law affecting this most impor-
tant OF all our benevolent institutions without
first consulting with those whose experience in
that direction render suggestions as to the
practicability of proposed legislation of the
greatest value. Our farmers. merchants.
mechanics, lawyers and Legislators in general.
who have never seen the interior of reform
school, cannot be supposed without much study
and investigation to be competent to frame
suitable law for the regulation of this important
charity. That the present law is grossly faulty.
however, is no doubt true, and perhaps yester
days tilt will be the means of its reformation.

SENATOR O'BRIEN yesterday offered bill
in the state senate, amending the criminal
code so as to give judges of district courts
the discretion of imposing the death pen
atty upon persons found guilty of murder
in the first degree. This amendment does
not meet the case. Judges are but human
beings, and inclined to mercy in all cases.
If left to their discretion the death penalty
would be seldom if ever imposed. Besides.
it is too great responsibility to impose
upon the judges. The requirement should
be made obligatory, and there should be
no loopholes left through which any guilty
man could escape the just penalty of his
crime. Senator O'Brien's bill is wholly
insufficient, and little if any improvement
upon the law as it now stands.

gent demands of the people to put the car
rying trade on firm basis. He knew of
no lobby here of which the gentleman
from Indiana (Holman) spoke.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois inquired whether
the 81 100000 received from the tonnage
tax would enable American ship builders
to compete with foreign ship builders.
Mr.. Robson replied that it would do
something towards it, but the gentlemen
on the other side, with their free trade
amendment, desired to open the flood
gates of the Tyne and Clyde to swallow up
the manufacturing interests of the United
States. He did not see what that PROPOSE
ton had to do with the bill. This was a
bill to encourage American commerce, to
protect American ship-building, and give
to our flag a foreign carrying trade.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, inquired
whether the effect of the bill would not be
to give bounty to ship-builders and
allow them to sell their ships to English
subjects.
Mr.. Robson replied that even though
that might be it would be for the benefit of
American commerce and the encourage
ment of American industry.
The bill was then read by sections for
amendments.
On motion of Mr.. Grape, of Massachu-
sets, the section prohibiting the payment
of advance wages to seamen was amended
so as not to apply to seamen in the whaling
business. The bill then went over without
further action.
On motion of Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
the senate amendments to the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill were not
concurred in, and Messrs. Burrows, Robe
son and Cox, of New York, were appointed
conference committee. Messrs. Black
burn, Ryan and Butler were appointed a
conference committee on the military
academy appropriation bill.

Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Capt. VIM. P. Black,
who served notice of contest on Repre-
sentative-elect Davis, of this city, has
withdrawn his notice. He was seen by a
GLOBE representative and said:
''You wish to know my reasons for with
drawing from the contest. They are sim
ply due to the exactitude of my profess
sional business and the duties 1 owe my
clients. I haven't the time to give to a
contest"
"Then the withdrawal is not due to the
fact that you have changed your mind as
to the merits of the case?"
''Not at all. never was an aspirant
for the Office, and I never sought the nom
ination. made the campaign, how
ever, and when I was beaten by
what l believed to be improper
methods, determined upon contest,
which 1 believed owed to the public
in the interest of a better order of
things in the future, and to prevent,if pos
sible, arepetition of such methodsIin future
elections. That was nay reason for proposing
to make contest, and it was not because
l wanted a seat in congress, for I did
not desire it. My election would have re-
quired far greater personal sacrifice than
my defeat, and find that the sacrifice
contest would demand is also too great. I
therefore telegraphed to Col Davis to-day
a notice of my withdrawal, and tomorrow
I shall forward him a letter formally
notifying him of my decision and giving
him my reasons for this course, substan-
tally as have given them to you"
After notice of contest thirty
days is allowed by law for reply, and in
this case the time would have expired this
week. In order to save Colonel Davis
trouble, Captain Black said that he conclu-
ded to notify the former of his withdrawal
before an answer to his notice of contest
became necessary. He said that his sole
reason for abandoning the fight was his
professional engagements, but he also re-
marked that he was man of peace, was
disguised with politics and that the con-
tinuance of the contest would only embit-
ter personal feelings, to which he was
