Mr.. STEPHEN Preston, the Haytien minis
ter, by virtue of seniority, would become
the dean of the diplomatic corps since the
death Of Minister Allen. But Mr.. Preston's
nationality is not satisfactory to the blue
bloods, and it is stated that Aristarchi Bey,
the Turkish ambassador, next in length OF
service, may succeed to the honor, position
purely of courtesy. Mr.. Preston's nation
atty may be Objectionable, but Aristarchi's
reputation should bar him out, and as be-
tween the two, Mr.. Preston should receive
the honor of his colleagues. Besides, there
would be something poetic in the dean of the
diplomatic corps at the capital of the Ameri-
can republic being a minister from Hayti.
1t would be another indication that John
Browns soul is marching on.

GENERAL LOGAN continued his speech in
the Fitz John Porter case yesterday. A great
many people believe, with the Illinois sena-
tor, that in Porter's case it was either cow
ardice or conspiracy that kept him from
obeying the orders of General Pope. The
letter General Mcclellan found it necessary
to write General Porter, begging him to ac-
cord General Pope loyal support, despite
his (Porter's) personal feelings is key to
the conduct of the disgraced General, Mr..
Lincoln's opinion, President Garfed's opin-
ion, and the deliberate judgment of General
j. D. Cox, who made careful and analytical
study of the alleged new evidence adduced
before the Schofeld board are not easily set
aside. Both as to the law and the facts, SEN
ator Logan's position is strong one, amply
fortified General Porter's "vindication" is
not mere matter of course.

city of considerable magnitude is more or
less afflicted, and it is a source of congratula-
ton that indianapolis is perfectly free from
it, 1t is gratifying to know that this city is
healthier in this respect than any i'll this part
of the country. Our broad streets and gener-
GUS spaces about our dwellings of all classes
give us great advantage over those less favor
ably situated, and the promptness with which
our health officers grapple with contagious
diseases ought to guarantee US against any
thing like an epidemic.
The National Board OF Health, crippled as
it is for want of necessary funds, in connec-
ton with the local boards has kept the
Northwest comparatively free from this
scourge. This is territory very much ex-
sands of immigrants arriving annually a
great majority pass through and find homes
here. Even in Its present condition the Ma
tional Board of Health has accomplished
wonders in the way of stamping out this
disease and In keeping it from being re-intro-
duced among u.s. The work is of vast i'm
portance. The health and lives and business
interests of a great population are endan-
gered by this contagion. With proper
means for prosecuting its work, the ma
tional board, aided by the various State
boards, can almost wholly control
its ravages, and it is the plain duty of Con-
gress to see that the necessary funds are pro-
vided for the continuance of this imperative
sanitary measure. Less than a year ago the
seeds of this disease were scattered broadcast
throughout Illinois and the States and Terri
tories to the north and west but by prompt
and energetic measures they were stamped
out while the system of inspecting immi-
grant trains prevented its introduction. The
importance of some concerted action on the
part of the Federal government is too mani
fest to call for argument. 1t would be very
unwise and dangerous to allow the national
board to become helpless through lack OF
means to prosecute its work.

THE Journal few days since alluded to
the fact that Mr.. Hendricks had sent forth
no bugle call for civil-service reform, now
that the elections had shown a possibility of
Democratic success in 1884 During the cam
paisn his eloquent and persuasive voice was
lifted up in full cry against the ''spoils sys-
tem," and in favor of reform. However, he
has managed to speak, and from his sick
room there come forth words embodied in
this paragraph, taken from the report of the
interesting interview had with the eminent
gentleman by Journal representative on
Monday:
ut has been my experience that the best
way to secure such reform is to put the right
men in office" He continued, langhingly:
Isn't it remorseless spectacle that the
Democrats have been kept out Of Office for
twenty years because the Republicans said
they were not entitled TO the places, and
now, when there IS chance for them 10 get
in, it is proposed to legislate them out"

A CONTRAST between the annual reports of
the Ohio and Indiana institutions for the in
sane made by Secretary Byers of the Ohio
State Board of Charities, shows that in In
diana the average daily number of inmates
has been 1,0S5; the per capita expense for the
year was 1874. In Ohio the average per
capita cost has been for the same year $1S1,
a difference of $13 in favor of the Ohio lnsti-
tutions The Indiana institution reports
As per cent. of recoveries on admissions The
average in Ohio has been for the past year

pendent upon the public care.

OK the 2Sth of August, 1882, the Indian
apolis Sentinel published this paragraph
about Major Charles T. Doxey;
He is noted for his decision of character
and high type of honest manhood. He is
devoted to his friends and whatever cause he
believes to be right and on the broad plan
of creation, in the daylight, or in the dark
ness. he stands forth untrammeled by sect or
party, impelled by pure motives only, and
big-heared in lending helping hand to a
brotherin need. His politics excepted. the
Sentinel place, high estimate on the charac-
ter Of Mr.. Doxey.'
With this before it, the Sentinel now SAYS
it is not the opinion OF the Sentinel, but OF
an Anderson correspondent. We do not
claim to be able to fathom the mysteries of
the editing OF our esteemed contemporary;
but if the above extract reads like a CORE
spondeni's letter it is a revelation to us.
The paragraph distinctly says: His politics
excepted, the Sentinel places high estimate
on the character of Mr.. Doxey"

THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-After passage of two
relief bills, the Speaker proceeded with the call
of States for the introduction of bills
At the conclusion of che call of the States the
House proceeded to consideration of bills touch
ing the administration of the tax laws. The
first bill, one relating to expectation of tobacco,
snuff ard cigars in bond, free of tax, to adjacent
territory, was passed. 1t places tobacco
ported by rail into Canada and Mexico on the
same footing tobacco exported in vessels.
bill was also passed to empower pOstmaster5
to administer oaths TO importers OF books.
The following were also passed: a bill amend
ing the revised statutes so as to allow draw
back on distillery worms manufactured for ex-
port; authorizing United States commissioners TO
take ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of transfer of United
States bonds; the Senate bill to permit grain
brought by Canadian farmers to be ground in
the United States in mills adjacent to Canadian
territory, under such regulations as may be pre-
scribed 10y the Treasury Department
A bill was also passed providing that Periqud
tobacco may be sold by the manufacturer or pro-
ducer in the form of carrottes, directly to legally
qualified manufacturer, to be used in the manu-
facture OF cigarettes or smoking tobacco without
payment of tax.
Mr.. White, OF Kentucky, offered as a substitute
an amendment repeating the tobacco tax. Ruled
out on a point of order.
Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, offered an anendmene
providing that no license shall be demanded OF
any person buying tobacco from producer or
grower. Ruled out on point of order The biz
was then passed.
The bill to fix the term Of office Of collectors of
internal revenue promised to give rise to pro-
tracted discussion, and was Withdrawn.
Twice during the consideration of the f0rego-
ing bills vote was demanded, and it was only
after great delay in each case that quorum
could be secured to pass between the tellers.
Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana, moved that the House
proceed TO the consideration of business on the
Speakers table Agreed tO-yeas go n.-Fs e.
The first bill on the table was House bill for
an extension of the capital north on street
and south on the Washington railway, with
Senate amendment relative to a pavement to be
laid between the tracks. The amendment was
rejected and the House adjourned.

The following important decisions relative to
the laws governing taxation were rendered by
Judge Daniel w. Howe yesterday:

opinion that they are entitled to pay at the
rate of $13 per month from the time they
were mustered in, in 1861, to the date on
which they were eventually mustered out.
The bill for all, estimated from their stand
point, it is said, would, with interest, amount
to over $1,000, 900. A test case will be made,
but while the claim may be technically
just it is SO absurd that it ought to be
speedily dismissed.

THE appointments made by Governor Por-
benevolent boards could not well be bettered.
No filter man for the presidency could
easily be found than General John Coburn,
while the three trustees are each and all men
of the highest character. The Sentinel calls
upon the Democratic majority in the Senate
to reject them, and Senator "Bazoo" Brown,
the Artful Dodger of politics, announces
that he has already prepared a
bill to take away from the Gov
ernor the appointing power and lodge
it with the General Assembly. This bill, he
says, will become law within twenty days,
and thus there will be no occasion to do any
thing with the Governors nominations
This is all right The Democratic party
passed the law making these offices APP
pointive by the Governor so they could be
controlled, and now they propose to repeal

the benevolent institutions for party
purposes has ever been Dem
ocratic characteristic; but by this time
the people of the State have got their
eyes open and their hearts interested in these

kind of treatment at the hands of any party,
and the Democracy could not do the Repub-
lican party greater Kindness speaking from
simply party point of view, than to follow
Jason B, Brown in this and in other pieces of
paltry partisan legislation. The State of In
diana has passed beyond this kind of bust
ness, but the Democratic party does not
seem to have discovered it.

LITTLE Rhode Island now hops to the
front with strange revelation. 1t appears
that the Ninth and Tenth regiments, Rhode
Island volunteers, went to the front at the
outbreak of the rebellion as three months
men, When their time of service expired
they returned home, being told that their
discharge papers would be made out and
forwarded the next week. They did not re-
ceive them, however, until few days ago.
About five months since some one of their
Number suggested that as they had never
been discharged they were liable to be called
out at any time Uncle Sam saw fit so il
would seem that during the last twenty lone
years Rhode Island has had two regiments of
volunteers still in the service. Some
person, acting on the suggestion, determined
TO investigate the matter and the result was
that the discharge papers were applied for,
and they have Just been received. bearing
