Booth, Irving. Mccullough.


By the way, there are three famous tragedlans
in town--Booth, Irving, aud Mccullough As ho
goes through the streets, Booth is recognized by
everybody, his uncovered face in Hamlet having
made his features familiar. At every step he is
an object Of scrutiny and remark. Irving is the
recipient of comparatively little notice, and when
he is identified it is by means of his portraits, aud
not by resemblance to his stage characters, in
nearly all of which he completely hides himself
to the eye. Mccullough Is absolutely unobserved,
except by personal acquaintances Although his
lace is bare in every Of his popular persona
tions, he has title similarity of general aspect be-
hind and before the iootlights ON the stage he
seems portly, impressive grand. Lounging in the
corridor OF tie Broadway hotel in when he has
invested his savings, or walking in Broadway, he
is decidedly q sh ort, immobile, commonplace
man, with nothing in sight TO sustain precon-
ceived ideal Of the tragic actor in private life
may add that he is glad of 1t. He said 50, after
sidewalk meeting with Booth, during which the
latter was profusely stared at, and those who
know him say that he is wholly unaffected

A late Springfield dispatch said it was under.

This made his selection, as n representative
Of this government in the negotiation Of a

The treaty now before the senate is tho
result. 1t has the opposition of the sugar
men Of Louisiana, because it admits free Of
duty the saecliarine product of that state.
But as Mexico does not raise sugar enough
for her own consumption, and is not likely
to during the six years the treaty would
run, the competition the I.ouisianians would
suffer is not appreciable. A cheap tobacco
also would come in free. These are the only ad-
vantages Mexico would derive by the treaty
The people of the United States who are
engaged in the production and manufacture
of more than seventy different articles would
under this treaty, have all duties on their
importation into Mexico removed NJ
The benefits of nearer relations between
Mexico and the United States are too obvious
to require statement. Tho mines Of the
former country are yet to be developed, and
the supplying of the machinery for it, of the
food product for the consumption of mining
laborers, and the transportation traffic thus
created, are all for our people, unless the SON
ate shall choose to repel them, and force them
into the hands of transatlantic peoples. In
such choice it cannot be doubted that the
American senate will respond to the general
public opinion, which is in favor of tho treaty.

Actions sp eah louder Than Words.

Now that the republican senators and
mem bers have very naturally and properly
D lodged, not only their sympathy, but all
practical aid to the sout horn republicans,
and to all citizens not republicans who arc
battling for free suffrage, it becomes i'm
portant to ascertain what aid " is "practi-
cal" The good book marks for condempa-
tion those who say TO the hungry. Eat
drink, and DO filed" and then leave them to
starve. Walls over the wrongs of the south
are worse than q mockery, if they arc
not accompanied by determined effort to
find and apply q remedy. We have of late
years been accus toned to more words than
deeds on the southern situation. Let us show
this year that this is to be changed. It
would be n base fraud for the republican lead
crs to arouse northern republicans by pledges
Of practical aid to their million and quar-
ter of brethren doomed to political slavery in
the south, if no aid is practical.
If citizens of the United States
can be- deprived of civil and political
liberty while an imbecile nation gapes on
and stupidly witnesses the outrage without
raising hand to stay it. and if the defense
for this cours is that under our form Of gov
ernment the nation can render no practical
aid without an infringement Of its corstitu.
tion, and if in addition to that we are told
that this state of things can never be
changed bee ause the contemners of national
citizenship can prevent any amendment to the
constitution, then we say the time is ripe for
revolution. But we contend that there ia
ample authority in the cons titution and in
the laws as they now stand, and as they have
stood ever since Washington was president,
for the assertion of national authority and
the full protection, in all their constitutional
rights, of all citizens.
The congressional caucus was political
body. 1t was composed of individual ropub-
licans. They have made the pledge above
referred to. In redeemin it they are not
confined to labors as legislators. 1t would be
good thing if tho ablest lawyers in the
senate and house were asked by tho executive
committee to examine the question Of porer
and confer with the attorney general as to
what might be properly done under the con-
stitution in the way Of applying the force
necessary to compel obedience to existing
laws. Who doubts that tho President would
be glad to have the support Of healthy pub.
lie opinion in any new way, or any new ap.
plication of old ways, that ould lead to sub.
mission by the lawless and full protection
eau be formed if leaders will but ascertain a
lawful remedy for existing tyranny in the
south and proclaim it to all the land.

Protecting the American Hog.

Representatives Clardy, Long, and Davis,
of Illinois, who compose the subcommittee OF
the house committee on commerce. to which
was referred for consideration the question OF
adopting measures of retaliation against coun-
tries which prohibit the importation of Amer
lean hog products, held meeting yesterday,
and after discussing number Of measures
which have been proposed, decided that the
joint resolution of Representative Townshend
was the most satisfactory of them, and agreed
to report it tavorably to the full committee
The resolution, as slightly amended by the
subcommittee after consultation with Mr.
Townshend, is as follows
Whereas the goyernIIents of the German En-
pirG and Republic OF France has seen tit to pro-
hibitthe importation of American hog products
upon the assumption that they were deleterious
to the public health and
Whereas the government of the German En-.
pire has declined the invitation of the President

Resolred, That the President of the United
States be authorized duriuR the session or reces!

ports which, upon the advice ofcOmpeteut experts
he shall be satisfied are injurious to public health
from those countries which upon the same
grounds prohibit the importation Of any American

The Counting of Electoral votes.

The bill to regulate the counting of presi-
Dental electoral votes which passed the
senate OH Wednesday is the most important
measure before congress. 1t guards against
many dangers likely to arise in the determi-
nation of the presidential succession, and per-
haps ignores none for which . remedy can be
applied. 1t proposes how questions between
contesting ele ctors, contending state govern
houses of congress shall be settled. Both
houses of congress are by its terms made
necessary to the rejection of the votes Of
electors duly certified from an undisputed
state COVE rnment or tribunal. Both houses
of congress are by it made necessary
to the acceptance Of the votes of either of two
electors claiming under opposing state gov
ernments or tribunals. This leaves but one
chance for the success of revolutionary
schemes, and that would be the case of a
preten ded state government, created solely
for the purpose of contesting the electoral
vote, Ger tilted from the actual state govern
ment, thereby enabling ono branch of con-
gress in sympathy with such action, to cause
the rejection ofboth. But this presupposes the
completely of a majority { one branch of con-
gress with the revolutionary designs Of states.
| If ever such a time as that should arrive, no
human device could frame legislation suff-
cient to prevent the bursting forth of the
fires of party hate or to avert the anarchy
which is sure to overwhelm people who re-
fuse to be governed under their own laws.
Tho senate bill to which reference is made
passed the senate unanimously, as it had done
at a previous session. As it is for the country
and not for any party, it is to bs hoped that
the house may dispose of ii as promptly and
in the same manner as has been done in the
senate.

The Mexican Treaty.

The question which senators will decide in
their votes upon the Mexican reciprocity
treaty is whether European or American in.
fiuence shall dominate our neighboring sister
republic. The pending treaty was negotiated
despite the most strenuous exertionI Of the
English, German, and French commercial
interests in Mexico. European commercial
houses in the City of Mexico, and The repre-
sentatives there of European governments,
have very properly exerted their influence
with energy to make Mexico tributary TO
them. The old dread of MexicAns that the
United States was giant bandit on its
border, intent on kidnapping its: northern
tier of states has in the main disappeared
through the friendly conduct Of our govern
ment at the end Of the civil war, which lod
to the evacuation Of their country by tho
French and the consequent collapse Of the
Maximillian government.
Ordered to the trans Mississippi region by
Gen. Grant for the purpose Of capturing the
fleeing remnants Of the rebel forces, Gep.
Sheridan, acting in accord with his chief,
made such a showing of military strength
along the Mexican frontier that Louis
NapOleon's minister hastened to Sec
retary Seward aud said "For Gods
sake, don't kick US out, We are willing
to 20 psaceably." This created a confidence
in tho good will of the United States which
had not existed among MeIiesns since the
