THE Chicago News says: "JIm Blaine's book will be issued simultaneously ID English, French and German. Mir. William D. Eaton, formerly Chicago journalist of high repute. is supervisin 2 the translations of the work into the foreign languages, force of ten trans lators having been placed at his com mand. MT Blaine gives Mir. Eaton$ 1000 for his work and a royalty of 15 per cent. upon each volume sold in Germany and France. NIT. Eaton goes to Paris next month to organize agencies for the sale of the book, and before returning home he will visit Berlin for a similar pur- pose" Now it is barely possible that Mir. Blaine has made a mistake in this early trsnslating his hook into French and German. It would perhaps be as well to wait and see what the people of this country think of 1t before he pre- p8res to circulate it abroad.

THE political situation in Austria is anything but encouraging. It is evident that the course pursued by the author lties against the socialists, is, to say the least, not calculated to quench the In- ternal fire that is ragisg. According to the dispatches, instead of special legis- lation for the regulation of the disturb
 ing element, the government has ordered state of siege against Vienna, Korne- burg and Neustsdt, whereby the author ities acquire the right "to search private houses without judiciary order; to exile suspects without trial; to conduct trials without jury; to suspend the liberty of the press; to open all private letters, and dissolve all public and private meetings" The discomfort is increasing, and many otherwise peaceable citizens are being driven into the ranks of the malcontents

THE Fitz John Porter bill which has passed the House, is practically dem- ocratic measure, though a number of republicans have been deluded into voting for it. It is now before the Sen ate, where it is said three or four sena- tors will vote in favor of its passage. This will, of course, secure its passage, but the President may not feel called upon to sign the bill. It does not seem right that tbs Eebffte 4eRadrfiihS 4ieeRd ih sf Fesforng him to the army. Porter may suit the democrats and the south, but he is not a favorite with the republicans or the peo- pie of the north, who can never be con vinced that he did his duty. If the country had been so un- fortunate that the places of the Me Clellans, Porters and Rosecrans could not have been filled by Grants, ,Shermans, Thomas and Sheridans We should now have DO union of states and the southern confederRcy would not have been a 'forlorn hope" but living reahty.

A Brave Governor.

The following story is told of Senator Groome, of Maryland. When be was governor be ran Up frequently from An napOlis to Baltimore. One evening. just as the train approached a station hali way between the two cities, Groome no- tIced large crowd standing near the station; they seemed very much excited. When the train reached the station GrOOne saw a col0red mn tightly held by two nervous looking white men, while the crowd danced around him. GrOOme jumped off as soon @. the train stopped. The nervous look-ng white men told him that they were peace of- toers, that the negro was a murderer. and that the crowd were lynchers. GrOOme ordered the officers and their prisoner on the train; told tho lynchers that he was the governor of Maryland and that they would stap him at their peril, and then, getting on the tram. forced the negro through the cars up tO engine Putting the prisoner, now half dead with fright, into the cab, be or dered the engineer to cut loose the en- zine and run back to Annapolis. This the engineer did, leaving the crowd bowling in the rear. At Annapolis the governor turned his prisoner over to the sheriff and then returned 10 Baltimore. l am sorry t0 say that three nights after that the luclers came into Annapolis, took the negro ont of Jail and hanged him. All the same Groome is plucky man.

NORTH DAKOTA TERRITORY.

The bill of Senator Cameron, of Wis consin, for the organization of the Terri tory of North Dakota, is much more liberal than has been the custom of Congress in the organization of existing territories. After designating the bound aries of the proposed new terrItory and the usual provisions for organization, including legislative council of fifteen members and a house of representatives of thirty members, supreme court, dis trict court, probate court and justices of the peace, it provides that all laws passed by the Legislative Assembly and Governor of said Territory of North Dakota shall be valid and binding with out being submitted to Congress for its approval; that tue Governor of said Ter ritory of North Dakota shall have power to call the Legislative Assembly to- gether by proclamation on an extraor- dinary occasion at any time after pre- senting the reason therefor to the Presi dent of the United States and his approval thereof having been duly given.
 Just why it becomes necessary to or ganize two territories into one, before the admission of a portion of that territory as one of the States of the Union, We are at loss to understand. unless it be to ap pease the wrath of the contending fac tions in the Territory, who are disputint over some repudiated bonds of certain counties, and the location of the capital But those differences ID no way concerl the nation, and there Is DO good reasol why the government should divide tn, Territory of Dakota, and make two ter ritorial governments and two sets of of fcers, which would necessarily nearl. double the expenses, where one organ ization and one set of officers can easil. do the work required of them. Fron the statements of reliable parties, 1t aI pears that the population of Dakota l already sufficient to entItle that Terri tory to be admitted as one of the State of the Union, and there Is DO doubt bu steps will be taken at an early date t secure such admission. In view of thi fact. if no other existed, most peopl will be inclined to the belief that Dakot can get along very well without divi sion for year or two yet, and at tn same time save quite a sum of money t the national treasury.

How Beecher Received.
From New York Lettel

know of at least one place where the day retained all its old-fashioned hospl- tality. It was just after the noon hour when l entered plain three-story brick house on Hicks street, Brooklyn. 4 woman with a motherlJ face framed in white tresses welcomed me, and was about to lead me to the refreshment table when a nasty step approached and a cheery voice sang out: Here, mother. I'll attend to the newspaper men, Then grasping my hand and shaping me on the shoulder, be said My dear boy, I'm glad to see you. Come in and get a square meal and shake from your mind the cares of Printing House Square" |" And l drank to the health of Henry Ward Beeeher in 8 cup of delicious mocha, and a minute later was making havoc with the hind leg of a turkey. while Mir. Bee sher was doing justice to a sandwich, telling me between mouth fulls what a wonderful city he considered Chicago. And then 1 watched the people come and go. Some in magnificent car riag es. with all the ponp of livery and footmen, but most of them were on foot and eight out of ten were poor young men or average business men, with an occasional railroad magnate or a great lawyer. Half 8 dozen New York police men came in party but they got no wine or sour mash. Mir. Beecher said in his pulpit Sunday morning that he would keep an open house but a mighty tight-locked wine cellar, and his word WAS not broken. Indeed it was "a happy New Year" in the home of Americas great preacher.

 \ LETTER has been found among Thurlow Weeds papers dated August II, 1860, from Judah P. Benjamin, then United States Senator from Louisiana, from winch it appears that even at that early date the old arch traitor, had 6 plan of his own for carrying the south ern States out of the Union, being no less a scheme than to have them resume their allegiance to Great Britain. But as they could not have carried then" peculiar intention (foI slavery had already been abolished by that power it would seem that Benjamin's hatred for the old flag even predominated over his love for slavery. And Benjamin says many, very many of the most wealthy and in fiuential planters throughout the South have discussed this alternative m the event of the election of Mir. Lincoln, and the popularity of the proposition seems to pass from one to another, almost with an elastic rapidity.' After admitting
  would be attended with direful con sequences. be adds "but the pear will be fully ripe before November"
 The aristocratic feeling that then existed among a large portion of South eFn population was proverbial and one of the strongest evidences of their in- tense and almost insane regard for the bauble Of royalty, is shown by hls re- mark that he had already heard some of them address each other by titles. IL would, therefore require no great stretch Of the imagination to conclude that strong as was their love of slavery, witl many of them it was at least balanced by their visions of royalty and hatred for our republican system.
 Ii is to be hoped, however, that after the lesson taught the present generation and the new life that must from associa- ton be infused into the next, all of those old prejudices will be wiped out.

There is considerable excitement ID
 all the mining camps over the reports
 from the CPur d'Alene pronounced

 As usual. the reports are highly cOlOreG,
 for the reason that the few persons who
 have returned from there were too en-
 thuslastic to be disinterested. 4 gentle
 man who visited that regi n last sum-
 mer and who staked a claim, ln
 formed the writer that he did not
 see any extraordinary riches there. He remained there several weeks, but fearing the severity of winter Tn the mountains, he returned to civilization after disposing of his claim | for trItie. He believes G syndicate of miners are engineering a big boom for

 most fearless and hardy have braved the

 of the picture: "To begin with, 1t Is the | richest thing 1 ever saw. l have taken | in all the ming camps on the coast. l There are only three or four claims open

FOR JUDGE.

The interest of the public demands that a successor to the late Judge Sheldon be appointed at the earliest possible moment. We understand that Walter Van Dyke, of California, would accept the position if rendered him. Some of the leading attorneys of this place, including Judge Earll, Campbell, Haynes, Hoover and others, learning that Mr. Van Dyke would accept the position fl rendered him, interested themselves in his behalf, and circulated a petition yesterday, respectfully asking the President to appoint him an As sociate Justice of Arizona, which was signed by the entire bar of this city. Such an endorsement by the attorneys of Tucson should have great weight with the President. The business of this district is important, and the neces- slty for R competent man for Associate Justice is apparent to all. We must have a thoroughly competent man for judge, and the CITIZEN, having full con. fdence in the recommendations of those of our attorneys who were well Re quainted with Mir. Van Dyke in Califor, nia, has no hesitancy in joining witt them in asking the President to appoint the gentleman Associate Justice of Ari zona for the distrlcl embracing Pint and Final counties.
 MT Van Dyke is ffty-nine years O age, was state senator of California fol two terms; was a United States Distric Attorney, and was chairman of the Re publican state central committee O
 California. His friends here, in whom We can place reliance, say that he is al upright and honorable gentleman, emi nently respectable in all the relations O life, and that he possesses good ayerag, , ability and great industry.

IT is predicted that when the Tariff bill is presented in congress, there will be some lively tits at arms between the democratic leaders of the House especially between the chair men of two of thelesding com mitties-Randan of Appropriations, and Morrison of Ways and Means. These two gentlemen differ very widely in their views on that subject, and as each will have their followers, the party is likely ty find itself in turbulent waters unless. indeed, they continue their system of masterly inactivity and let the bill go over to next term.

TUosoN needs a smelter and reduction works; this every one will admit. Responsible parties are now ready to take hold and put mp the necessary works, but they want some aid from the county. The amount they ask is not large, but enough to show that we take an interest in the business. Would Ii not be a wise act to give them the small amount they ask for, and have the shelter at once? Tucson has made several mistakes in the past by neglect ing to do what ought to have been done to secure railroads and public enter prises which would have greatly bene' fited the county and city.
