The Evening critic., 1883-04-18

The Critic met q gentleman from Madi-
son County, Ohio, last night, who seemed
to be very well posted in Ohio politics. In
the course of an hours conversation the
Critic naturally applied his siphon to the
Ohio statesman with the view, if possible,
Of obtaining an idea as to who will be the
probable choice of the two-days' Republican
Convention to be held on the 9th and 9TH
of June next.
Who, in your opinion" asked the Critic,
sis likely to be the Republican leader in
the coming campaign p
'Well, it is pretty hard TO tell / am
satisfied that the Republicans of Ohio
would prefer Senator Sherman, but he has
announced that he was not only not a can
didate, but that he would not give his con-
sent to allow his name to be used in the
convention. This, in a measure, dsposes
Of him. There is Representative Ben
Butterworth, who is dying, as it were, for
the nomination, but the party knows to
nominate him is to invite defeat. Then
there is Dr. j. b. Rice, who is q very popu-
lar man, but he can't be nominated. The
truth is, whoever is nominated must have
the hearty support of Charlie Foster,
and right here, allow me to say
that that is the real reason
why Senator Sherman does not want the
NOMINATION.. he KNOWS tnab roster would
stab him under the ribs on every possible
occasion, therefore he does not want to be
put up just to be knocked down. There is
Representative Shultz, who is splendid
man; but he had the misfortune to be beaten
in the last race for Congress, and fear he
will be left out. So, upon the whole, look
ing over the field and viewing it from every
standpoint, am inclined to the opinion
that John A. Bingham, now Eavoy Extraor-
dinary aud Minister Plenipotentiary at
TOkei, Japan, is the man who will be put
forward at Columbus next June to lead the
Republican party in Ohio
why do you think Bingham the man ~
Because, in the first place, he is as
brainy man asSherman or any other man
in Ohio. Then he has been OUT of the
State for years, being appointed by Grant
to the position he now holds, and is holding
it right along; he has kept himself aloof
from all the little petty jealousies and local
| quarrels in the State. He would have
none of them TO contend with, whereas
any other man that is nominated would
have all these local disturbances to contend
| with"

THE COLD WAVE.
Sixty-Three Below at Kokomo, Col, and
Fifty Eight at Regina.

Cu1cAGo, Jan. 22-The intense cold, which
has prevailed since Saturday morning, con-
tinues. At 3 o'clock this morning the ther-
mometer was 23o below zero. The only per-
sons on the streets are those compelled to be
out Among these there were several frost
bites, frozen ears, noses, etc. The wind has
packed the snow in solid drifts, which i'm
pede railroad trains. On most of the roads
they come i'll behind, and two locomotives
are necessary to each. The cold wave seems
to be moving East, and the temperature ris-
ing at points where it has passed.
The blizzard or cold wave appears to have
been the seyerest for years. Stock suffered
badly, but no loss of human life is reported.
Trains everywhere in the West and North
west were abandoned and were
only enabled to start upon the fall OF snow.
The EXTREMIST cold weather is reported from
Nevada and Colorado. At Elko, spirit ther-
mometer indicated $40 below zero. Ponds
and water-holes are frozen solid. The cattle
are dependent on them to quench their thirst
A dispatch from Kokomo, COL, showed the
temperature was $50 below, with no indica-
tions of moderating At Regina the mercury
registered $50 below, and the worst storm
ever experienced is raging throughout the
entire Territory Many severe and few
fatal cases of freezing have occurred. In
Illinois, the thermometer fell as low as 400
below zero, that figure being reported from
Rockford. There was change of 600 in ten
hours

Decision by the Supreme Court in an I'm
pOrtant Constitutional Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the United
States, to-day, in the important constitutional
case of the United States against R. G. Har-
ris ct al, brought upon certificate of differ
ence of opinion between judges of the United
States Circuit Court for the district of West
ern Tennessee. The particular question pre-
sented here is the constitutionality of section
5519, Revised Statutes The decision is as
follows
IF two or more persons in any State or
Territory conspire, or go i'll disguise on the
highway, or on the premises of another
for the purpose of depriving, either
directly or indirectly, any per-
son or any class of persons
of the equal protection of the laws or of
equal privileges under the laws, or for the
purpose of preventing or hindering the con-
stituted authority of any State or Territory
from giving or securing to all persons within
such State or Territory equal protection of
law, each of such persons shall be punished
by fine of not less than $500, nor more than
So 600, or by Imprisonment, with or without
hard labor, not less than six months nor
more than six years, or by both. Such fine
and imprisonment, the court holds in an
elaborate opinion by Justice Woods, as that
provided by this section, is not supported by
the authority of the Federal constitution,
and that enactment is beyond the powers of
Congress.

Bishop Becker to be Given Archepiscor al
HOnOrs


BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. s.-A Prelimi-
nary Conference of Roman Catholic arch
bishops of the United States will be held at
the aIchepiscopal residence here on We'd
nesday next. This conference is called for
the purpose of arranging the details of the
meeting OF archbishops In Rome in October.
In three instances bishops will represent the
archbishops. One is in the diocese of Vim
cennes, Ind, where Bishop Chatard will
represent Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati.
The vacancy of Philadelphia will lie filed
by Bishop 0'Hara of Scranton and Arch
bishop Kendrlck of st. Louis will be repre-
sented by Bishop Ryan.
Archbishop Gibbons of Baltimore, Pri-
mate of the Catholic Church In America,
will preside. After the conference, should
the Pope decide to call Plenary Council,
the Archbishop of Baltimore will preside
and the conference will be held In the
Cathedral.
Bishop Becker of Wilmington left for
Rome last week, and 1t is understood gen.
orally in Catholic circles here thai when he
reaches the External City" he will have been
elected to the ecclesiastical rank of
an archbishop aud will take part in the de-
liberations of the conference called by the
Pope. The fact that If Plenary Council is
called Archbishop Gibbons will preside, is
regarded, as establishing the ecclesiastical
rank of the arch-episcopacy of Baltimore
over that of the only cardinal In America;
as while Cardinal McCloskey ranks as q
prince, and would be entitle to vote at the
election of Pope, the Archbishop of Bala-
more holds the place of primate of the
Church in America.
