Invitation of the Citizens Committee to

LINCOLN, ILL.,, April :.
The committee of fifty appointed
here on March 26 to express their "views
on TIE subject of crime" convened in the
body went to the residence of Orrn A.
Carpenter TO present him with a copy of
the resolutions, among which was the
following:
"That we demand of the said Carpenter
that he leave Logan County without I'M
necessary delay"
AT the residence Mr.. III. L. Pierce as
chairman advanced to the door and pre-
scented the paper enclosed in an envelope,
which Mr. Carpenter refused to receive.
1t was laid on the floor at his feet, and in
response he said: ~ do not recognize
your authority to pass or present to me
any such resolutions, and refuse to ac-
cept them. have lived law-abiding
citizen in this county for the last thirty
years and l don't know any more about
the killing of that girl than you do. L
shall use my own judgment and discretion
rs to my future course. | thank you all
for your friendly visit"
The appearance of the procession upon
the streets, moving in the direction OF the
Carpenter residence created much excite
ment, but no demonstration of violence
was offered and no reply was made to
Carpenters REFUSAL to receive the paper,
and at night all was as quiet as though the
proceedings had not been had. When,
where and how the shocking affair that
has so torn up the community will end 1t
is impossible to see or learn. 1t is re-
ported that suit will be entered against
each member of the committee, and it APP

Attorney General Blair.

This gentleman appears to be an
object Of peculiar dislike to the
Bourbons of Virginia. Prominent
lawyers among them have re
peatedly declared him to be ono Of
the best Attorncy.Generals the
state has ever had. He is a man
of extraordinary industry and has
conducted the legal business of the
state both at Washington before
the Supreme Court, and at home
with energy and ability. Attorney
General Blair is a Jealous Re
publican and Readjuster, and gives
and takes hard knocks upon the
hastings with equanimity; but
appear to have been selected as
the latest target Of venemous
persecution.
The Valley Vrgiaiaa Of late
date says about Capt. Blair;
The assault upon the official
character of Attorney-General
Blair aud the threat to impeac h
him, by the Legislature just adj
jOurned, was a dismal failure. Blair
met every charge and came out
unscathed. 1t looks very much
like a cOncOcted scheme to smirch
his character for party effect.
Nothing could be more reprehen-
sible than to try to destroy personal
and official character that partizan
ends might be promoted.

Purging Parties.

New York city Republicans have
formally declared through their
regular organization that no voter
who cast his vote against Blaine
and Logan shall hereafter be CON
sidered a Republican. This is very
decided medicine, and is meant to
leave no disputed question as to
political orthodoxy.
With comparative unanimlty
the Independent Republicans de
clare that unless Cleveland wants
to make n worse failure as Presi-
dent than Hayes, he must hartily
and peremptorily warn all admirers
of Jcficrsonian and JacksOnian
Democracy that he wants neither
counsel nor their presence about
the White House premises. Mr.
Hendrick, Mr.. Thurman, and Mr.
Mcdonald are especially mentioned
as people whom he must ignore.
Thus, while the Republican
party is purged Of the Cleveland
Republicans, the Democratic party
is to be purged Of all the old.school
Democrats.
All this would seem to indicate
that political millennium is at
hand.

nominee for the secrctaryship of
the Treasury would defeat Mr..
McCulloch, whose selection is dis
tasteful to all the senators Of Pro

ardent Free trader, and the Senate
is anti Free Trade. Nearly all the
Republican senators are Projections

senators, and could the Issue be
squarcly made upon McCalloch he
would be defeated. But the issue
will not be made, and there will
not be evcna dress parade Of OPP

executive session to-day, when Nc
CullOch's name was reported fayO-
rably from the committee, Senator
Riddleberger promptly objected,
and tonight says he will enter his
protest against McCui.och's con-
lirmation upon grounds sufficient
to satisfy his own judgment and to
meet the appreciation Of the people
nc represents.

During the late canvass 1t was
mtruthfully stated that the Edu-
cational bill was sent from the Sen
ate TO the House too late for action.
The bill was there two months or
more. But the reason satisfied ma
nv for a time. It's not proposed
to try the experiment again, and
40 the House Committee have re-
solved to report the Blair bill at
once as a substitute for their own,
and pass it. What will now become

swore it was unconstitutional and
many other things about itI How
ever, we may all rejoice when it
shall become a law. Virginia shall
derive a large benefit from it for heI

ton of democrats in the lOnse
should vote against it as in the
Senate, it would be defeated, but
it is generally believed that the
canvass made an impression on
enough to overcome this.

Last week Senator Mitchell in
troduced a resolution in the United
States Senate providing for pen
sion Of $4,000 n year for Gen.
Grant. On seeing it, Gen. Grant
promptly wrote the Senator that il
the bill should pass Congress and
be signed by the President, he
would not accept the pension. The
proper thing to do would be to
place Gen. Grant OH the retired
list with the same grade that he
held when he resigned to accept
the Presidency, and thus show the
gratitude of the country for his ser
vices. He resigned life position
in the army at the call Of the peo-
pie to discharge the duties Of Chief
Executive of the Nation, and it
would be nothing more than right
to restore him to that position, as
an act of simple justice. The peo-
pie North and South would hearth
ly approve of such an act.

THE leaders OF a successful cam
paign are never happy. Already
Senator Bay ard has had to make
public denial that he is opposed to
Senator Garland 5 advent into the
cabinet, and Senator Mcpherson
has been called upon to do as much
about Genl. Mcclellan through the
n. Y. Tribune. The troubles grew
out OF apparent opposition of
prominent sOutberners to q recOg-
milton Of Delaware as a Southern
state in the recognition which
Cleveland is asked to give the
South, and the reported interview
between Mcpherson and Cleveland
in favor of stockton against
Mcclellan. Both stories are well
founded in fact, and are subjects OF
great comment.
1t is to be hoped that Cleveland
has a head level enough, and a
will strong enough to let those who
pick the Quarrels fight them out.
BY such a course ho cOnseryes the
good of the country.

The past week has brought no

Philadelphia great strike OF car

and the stoppage Of boot and shoe
cancernssthrows 5000 men out of
work; in Norwalk | 800 hatters
are striking to resist reduction
the Reading road has reduced wa
ges 10 per cent. Cincinnati iron
concerns have made a temporary
reduction in order to work all
through the winter ; and the glass
concerns about Wheeling are gene
really closing. 1t is expected that
a further reduction in price Of pig
iron will cause many Eastern fur
naces to stop work. The situation
on the whole Is less favorable than
it vas six years ago, when the
greatest depression existed and a
great accumulation Of idle money
crowded the banks as now. Then
there was solid basis in tariff
which could not be changed now
there is constant clamor for more
mcddling with the taril, and little
reason to hope that the Democrats
in Congress will be wise enough to
keep quiet.-N. Y.Tibmc.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1884-12-12

There is not entire harmony
among the democratic representa-
tives from Virginia. They are hope
lessly divided on the tariff ques-
ton, and do not quite keep their
differences a secret. Mai. Daniel
has announced that he is making
a study of the question, and 1t is
more than limited that he will be III
the Randall column. His small
success in a largely democratic
district was doubtless due to the
strength Of this issue in several OF
his counties. Trigg, too, it is said,
will be careful how he dabbles with
the question. These two, with
George ID. Wise, who voted against
the Morrison bill last winter,
would make the Virginia dclega-
ton exactly a tie on any PROPOSE
ton against protection.
