October election. The utmost peace
fulness prevails. Eleven arrests for
illegal voting have been made; all

equal that of Oc :ober. 1t is impossi-

The nomination of Hugh McCul-
loch to be Secretary of the Treasury
is in the line of President Arthur's
best appointments, which is the
highest praise. Lincoln's Secretary
of the Treasury, who had the tagac'
ity and the rare courage to initiate
the policy of contraction and re-
sumption, is one Of those men on
whom three score years and ten did
not bring WEAKNESS and weakness.
At seventy-five Mr.. McCulloch has
all the intellectual energies and phys
ical strength that most men of sixty
are blessed with. His appointment
means all that any appointment to
the Treasury could mean, for sound
administration, in the Interest of
good finance and solid business pros
perity.

A gentleman in the Vermont leg
islature, who partakes of the large
and glittering nature of an ass, in
troduced a resolution "declining to
grant an appropriation in further
ance of the cotton exposition and all
other appropriations for like objects
and refusing in any way to aid or to
countenance the States of the South
so offending until such time as they
shall change their most unjust and
wicked course, and give to all
American citizens within their
borders, without distinction Of race,
color or political preference their full,
free ana unhindred rights under the
constitution and laws of the United
S.ates." Even a Vermont legisla-
ture could not descend to such
asininity, and the resolution waa
laid on the table. 1t is such pleasant
episodes as this that justify Stephen
A. Douglas famous observation that
Vermont is an excellent State to
move away from.

A CHANCE FOR MEDIATION.

To-day all the princes of the
Chinese Empire are TO assemble at
Pekin. in response TIA summons to
an imperial audience for u decision
between mediation and war for the
termination of the conflict with
France. A chance still remains,
therefore. for the arbitration of the
matters in dispute, and tue desire
will be general throughout the
United States that the authorities at
Washington may take whatever ac-
ton may be deemed expedient to en-
courage the substitution of arbitra-
ton for war in the affair of France
and China. So strong is that desire
that the New York Chamber of
Commerce recently appealed to
President Arthur to do what
ever he prudently could to
bring about peaceable set
Element between the two countries,
and it Is commonly felt that the re-
lations existing between the united
States and the belligerent powers are
such as to ensure friendly reception
for whatever suggestions of media
tion may be made from Washington.
1t will be great triumph for the ad-
vocators of universal peace il the
value of the principle upon which
they base their theories is exhibited
in this case, and there will be COM
mercial as we'll as political advan- :
tages resulting from the mediation Of
the dispute of Celestial and Gaul.

Reported Fall OF Khartoum.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The Times con-
siders the news reported from Cralo
to The Faris M0rning NeWs to the
effect that Khartoum has fallen into
the hands of the rebels and Gordon
taken prisoner as extremely doubt
full. This view, it thinks, is eepecl-
aIlv reasonable in the absence OF
advices on the subject from Wolseley.
The Times traces the report to the
"Bosphore Egyptian." q dubious
French organ which may have given
a European version of Arab rumors
which recently gained some currency
in Craio. Earl Granville assured the
Associated Press to-day that the gov
ernment had received no confirma'
ton of the reports. Up to noon to-
day nothing had been received at the
government office in regard to the
dispatch to-day from DOngolao
router's telegram Co. makes no men,
ton of the reported fall of Khartoum.
It says, however, @hat the Mahdl at
last accounts was collecting his
forces around KhartOum and bad
Gordon to surrender:
Troops of the Mahdi had intercepted
two messengers dispatched by the
British TO Khartoum. Toe same dis
patch declares large force of rebels
was at Berber and that RIB Is had
possession of the wells on the caravan
route between Debbeh and Khar-
toum. After the crops are harvested
Mahdi's forces will be largely in
creased.

Morning Journal: We apologize

the rumor of bis engagement to
Miss Frelinghuysen it was with a
feeling, shared by thousands of our
readers, of pleasure that he had gained
so fair and lovely prize. That
it was only a rumor we keenly re-
gret. The whole nation would have
rejoiced in seeing the White House

not have added the crown to his
glory by giving his charming daugh-

Minneapolis Tribune: The friends
of the late Cadet Strong, of the Ma
ticnal Naval Academy. who is be-
lieved to have been "hazed" to death
oy his fellow students, are pushing a
thorough Investigation into his death,
and 1t Is understood that indict-
ments by the Grand Jury will follow.
1t is certainly to be earnestly hoped
that If the young man met his death
in the manner alleged, there will be
no lack of a vigorous prosecution nor
of the fullest punishment the law al
lows. TIE brutal sport called hazlng
has been carried on in schools and
colleges long enough, and there are
few spectacles that the civilized p0r.
ti0n Of the public would more th ,r-
oughly appreciate than the rigid
of some Of the young
scoundrels who indulge in it.

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1.-The

rain during the morning. A very
heavy vote is being cast and the cleo
ton up to one o'clock has been very
quiet. There has been but two ar
rests so far for illegal voting, both on

list fights occurred in some wards,
but nothing serious at this hour. The
committees of both parties claim to
be entirely satisfied with the out
look.
One hundred and forty veting
places show net Republican gain
of sos. About eight per cent. of the
vote is in. still the indications are
that the State will be Democratic by
5000.

TIE NATION'S WARDS

Commissioner Price says that the
nation expended an average of 81 per
capita to feed and slothe the Indians
during the last year, but admits that
the cost of each soldier is $40 0 a
wear, and that the chief business of
the soldiers is TO preserve peace on
the frontier. To feed and clothe the
savages, therefore, costs about " OOO,-
600 year, and to fight them costs
many times that amount. While the
Indian Commissioner thus admits
that the Indians take millions of dol
lars from the treasury annually, he
recognizes the possibility of raising
them to condition in which they
will need no pecuniary aid. He
conlmends toe work OF the Indian
schools, approves the establishment
of Indian courts, with members OF
the tribes as officers, and urges
more generous encouragement
for Indians who are disposed
to become independent through their
own industry. His suggestions
should not be unheeded by Congress
men. It is probable that our entire
Indian population can be made SELF
supporting within quarter of GEN.
tury, ifionly schools are provided for
these who are willing to learn, with
suitable re wards for pupils who quail
ify themselves for some industrial oc-
cupation. A farm of 100 acres of good
land, with implements and stock,
should be given to each Indian who
learns how to manage it, and an
equipment of tools should b. offered
AZ q reward for each Indian who fits
himself for the work of a mt chanic.
1t will pay to expend enough now to
make our savages self--uDporting
citizens, rather than to always ex'
pend millions of dollars annually for
their support as vagabonds.

The Republicans gained one Con-
gresham, Buck, in the Eighth dis
trict. Mitchell, Democrat, is elected
in the End; Seymore (Dem. in the

WATERBURY, Conn, Nov. A.
Some anxiety was occasiOned here
by the fact that the usual election
warning had not been published ac-
cording to law. The matter, how
ever, has been arranged, the local
legal authorities agreeing not to
violate the election, and voting is
proceeding. An, unusually heavy
poll is being made this forenoon.
NEW HAVEN. Nov. "A very

pendents are voting largely and
mainly the entire Democratic ticket.
The Butler, Irish-Blaine and Pro-
hibition vots is insignificant.
NEW LONDON, Nov. 4-On one
half the total vote the Democratic
State and National tickets are fifty

Report on Coast Defenoes.

WASHINGTON, d. g., Nov. g.
Gen. Jno. Newton has submitted his
annual report of coast defences. He
urges that the harbors Of our princl-
pal seaports be made impregDable to
attack by the addition of guns Of
heavy caliber and others knowh to
modern warfare. Past events, he
says, by no means justify the asser-
tiOns made that our cotton and grain
have become so necessary to nations
that they could not engage ip war
with US for q short period without in
terrupting their supplies of these
articles. It seems to be forgotten
that descent upon our coast to hold
our unprotected cities under the guns
of q hostile fleet would consume out.
few months, and in the meantime
cotton and grain in suff1cielt quant;-
ties might be obtained elsewhere.
The modern sysG.m is to make war
sudden, sharp, and decisive, and to
make the beaten purity pay expenses.
The Board of Engineers for forfifica-
tions has prepared sD approximate.
estimate of the cost of fortlfication
including armaments of modern
heavy guns and rifled mOrtars for
Portland, Boston, New York, Phi!a-
delphia, Baltimore, Hampton Road,
New Orleans and San Francisco, and
another estimate, likewise, approxl-
mate, for preliminary works, earths
and masonry, without armor, and
machinery and guns to serve as en-
placement for guns. The total esti-
mate, including armaments. is $751;
488. 600. The estimate for emplac.-
ment guns, excluding armors, guns
and machinery, is $1", ,3SS. 900 These
estimates have been made with care,
and it is believed the fort 'fications,
including guns for all harbols on the
coast of sufficient Importance to
tempt an enemy, can be prepared ct
cost not exceed $50, OO, ,NO. The
following estimates required for '85
and '86 are made: For the defense
of Boston harb,r. $3.50, 1000; New
York harbor. 81, 100 600; Philadelphia.
$I32, 900: Baltimore. 3 $4,000, Hamp-

Ex. When candidates come to
count their spoils they will find many
strange and curious things. The
gold-headed cane department will be
large, likewise bsld-headed pump
kins and plumed umbrellas. Snuff
boxes have been steady, cigar-boxes
and demijohns firm. As for bouquets,
banners and articles of "virtue,"
their name is legion. The candidates
would do we'll to pool their issues,
stock q bazaar and sell their products

The Republicans could not have
placed in nomination a better, purer
and abler man than Judge
Knowles. If elected the people will
be represented by one who cannot
fail to command the respect Of his as
sociates at Washington and who will
ably attend to the interests of this
Territory. If defeated he retains
that confidence and esteem Of all and
retires from the heat of the conflict
with the consciousness of having
done his whole duty to his party and
to b :mself.
