REGAEnING Judge Wallacc's assertion that
railroad is public property, the Colusa sun asks
Does he pretend that it is public property in
the sense in which the Stutc Capitol is public
property, ferry across the Sacramento river
is in one sense public property yet, in another
sense, it is private property. The stage line from
ColuSa to Williams is not private property in the
sense in which dwelling is private property
The Judge argues that absolute control must fol-
low ownership but the owner Of hotel has
not that absolute control of his property that the
owner Ola dwelling house has, but he has more
control over il than the owner of railroad or
ferry has over that class Of property. II might
have been expected Of one of Judge Wallace's
rcputcd ability that he would point out the eX-
act line of ownership of the holder Of stock in
the railroad corporations and the public. but if
ne has qualified anywhere the assertion of pub
lie ownership, it fails to appear in the resou-
tons OF the speech which followed it,"
THE efforts to boom Secretary Lincoln'S
claims as Il presidential candidate are being n.

The Unpleasant NOtoriety Given to Public
Men by Recent Publications.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Feb. 26-But little comment
has been indulged in on the disclosures made by
the papers sent to Congress relating to the
star-route investigations. The whose
names have been put into print as connected
with star-route contracts, and who, it might be
supposed, were brought into unpleasant noto-
riety by the publication of the matter, say
they are not embarrassed; that their names have
been connected in that way from the very in
ception of the trials, but they have not been
made public. They did not expect them to be
kept secret. 1t is understood by those who
know anything of the inside of the star route
business that the only way in which the names
of these men-Democrats as well as Republic
| ans-can be strung together, is by the same pro-
cess by which thousands of others can be used. 1t
is by digging up the records and utilizing the
names of every public man that asked to have
mails on star routes expedited, and the effort
made by the New York Sun and other Demo
cratic newspapers to cry fraud at every Repub-
lican senator or member of Congress who asked
for an expedition of mails on routes where steals
were subsequently alleged to have taken place,
can be applied to as many Democrats, proper
tionately, as Republicans, and probably more.
The matter excites no attention in Washing
ton, where the animus is best known and under
| stood.
Chairman Springer of the House committee
on expenditures in the Department of Justice, is
greatly exercised tonight He finds that lot
of papers sent by the Attorney general to his
| committee are missing Among them are those
intended to impeach Governor Murray, of Utah.
Mr.. Springer is suspicious, although he does
not know where to lay his suspicious. He
thinks it passing strange that papers of that
character should be stolen from a Democratic
committee, and says he would not be surprised
that the star-route papers published last week
III the New York Sun came from his committee
room, as papers of that character, which he had
not yet examined, are among the missing ones.
1t is safe to say Mr.. Springer will not sleep
well tonight

MIR. Morrison Confident that His Bill Will

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-There is not the
slightest doubt about the honesty and good faith
of Chairman Morrison. of the ways and means
committee in his work for his tariff reform BILL {"
said personal friend who often talks confden-
TALLY to Mr. Morrison.
docs Mr.. Morrison believe his bill will be
passed by the House9" inquired
HE does" said the statesman. II had talk
with him this morning and he is confident the
bill will be passed before July"
''Does he think it will inure to the benefit of
the Democratic partyp
"He feels quite sure of it. Mr. Morrison re-
marked to me, the other day, that he was sur
prised at the short-sightedness of many Demo
Gratis who assume to be leaders He is tired of
fighting upon old issues and being defeated, and
says the party never will elect President upon
the old issues. He thinks it will require new
and decided ground, and would not hesitate to
adopt almost anything that gave a show of sue
cess. tell you that Morrison has no faith in
the success of the Democratic party this year
unless bill something like the one he has pre-
sented is passed by the House He thinks, as
do, that it will not even be taken under consid
Grafton in the Senate"
"Does Morrison not fear the votes of the me-
chancs and laborersl"
mo; he really believes his bill will catch
them. And he thinks cheaper manufactured
goods will also win more farmers than it will
lose of mechanics, and that the gain will be
sufficient to give the ticket the necessary ma
iority. You see he figures from an Illinois
standpoint l have told him he forgets that
there is a vast difference between the inhabit-
ants of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts and those of the prairie States.
But he can't see it, and says if we venture moth
ing nothing can we gain,
1t is the impression here that the House will
have the Morrison bill under consideration by
the latter part of March, but there is great
doubt expressed, even among the most ardent
friends of it, whether it will be passed in ashape
that would materially affect the present tariff
law. There is no doubt but that the Democratic
party would like to revise the tariff, and do it
with free hand, but it fears the result and as
Mr.. Robertson, who represents the old Proctor
Knott district in Kentucky, said to-day, it hasn't
the courage to express the convictions upon
which it would build its temple and which keep
it together.
All hope is abandoned by the best heads of the
Democratic party of doing anything of conse-
quence this session The party is so divided
now that it would be folly to attempt to accom-
plish ANYTHING of positive nature

gested at the recent meeting of the National
Board of Trade. In the opinion of Mr. Maybury
the bill will go through the House
without very much opposition, the
Objectionable features of the Lowell
bill have been eliminated The great differ
ence between the proposed bankruptcy legisla-
ton and the old law lies in the fact that under
the proposed law it will be possible for creditor
to secure some portion of the assets of the insolv
ent debtor, whereas the distribution of the as
sets under the old regime was similar to the
method employed in apportioning prize money
in the British navy one hundred years ago
There the cash was sifted through a ladder,
the portion which fell between the rungs was di-
vided among the officers, that which stuck to the
rungs went to the men. Under the bankruptcy
law which was repealed in 1876 the register,
marshals and attaches represented the British
officers, the creditors the seamen.

JOHN BROWNS SCAFFOLD.
le Historic Implement Which Robbed the
Great American Liberator of His Life.

WHEELING W. VA, Feb. 26.-The historic
scaffold upon which John Brown met his death
Dec. 16, 1859, and which was mysteriously
spirited away soon after the execution, has
just been discovered at Charlestown, jefferson
county, in a somewhat singular place About
three months ago Col. John NJ. Coyle bought
from widow the brick residence standing on
the corner of Lawrence and Liberty streets,
Charestown and last week, while making needed
repairs tore away an old porch in the rear of
the building Noticing that each board and timber
bore peculiar mark and number, he made an
investigation, and to his surprise found that
when placed together in proper order the timbers
formed complete scaffold Subsequent de-
velopements have proved beyond a doubt that
the scaffold is the original upon which John
Brown suffered, and the venerable relic has been
carefully stored away, under lock and key, until
it can be set up in some secure and appropriate
place. The discovery created no little excite
n which the execution took place.

cagos irreproachable mayor, spent the week in

solely for the purpose of furthering the interests
of Chicago in the contest over the location of the
convention. Really there was a deeper and
more potent reason to account for his presence
Harrison is not a free trader. 1t Will be remem-
bered that he astonishedthe Irioquois club of his
city, few years ago, by rampant speech in
favor Of protection, at free-trade dinner. AS a
protectonist Mr.. Harrison is naturally opposed
to the Hon. Bill Morrison, and in his speech in
support of Chicago Harrison neatly laid the
chairman of the ways and means committee on
the shelf by the statement that Illinois only
candidate for the presidencyis is Samuel j. Tilden
Harrison has two bees in his bonnet. The big
gist is the vice presidential buzzer and the other
the Illinois gubernatorial insect. He endeavored
while here to lay pipes for two State conven-

officers nominated at the same time as the dele
gates to the presidential convention, because he
hopes that if he fails to secure the nomination
for the vice presidency he can then come in as
candidate for Governor Perhaps he will succeed

LOTTERY ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Bill 10 Prohibit the Mailing of Newspa-
pers Publishing the Same.

The Bill 10 Prohibit the Mailing of Newspa-
pers Publishing the Same.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The bill reported fa-
vorably to the Senate to-day to prohibit the
mailing of newspapers and other publications
containing lottery advertisements, is accom-
panied by two reports. The minority report is
signed by Senators jackson, Maxey and Groome
The majority report says: 1.-THE bill is based on
the conceded power of the government to deter
mine what character of matter may be sent
through the mails and its purpose is to protect
the general welfare and morality of the people
against the pernicious effects of lotteries The
purpose here expressed is one of public con
cern and the duty underlying it was very
forcibly expressed in the opinion of the
Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of Phalen VS. Virginia
This case sustains both the power and duty of
the government to interpose, by such means as
the bill which the committee herewith reports,
for the protection Of the morals and well being
of the people 1t says, further, the policy of the
bill is in perfect harmony with the action of
nearly every State in the Union. Lotteries have
been, and are, under almost the universal ban of
the States OF thirty-eight States only three
have failed to denounce lotteries, and endeavor
to protect their citizens from their baneful eff
fects."
The minority report, which was submitted by
Senator jackson, opposes the bill on constitu-
tlonai grounds. 1t argues that the general gov
eminent has no power to suppress gambling in
any State, and consequently no power to pro
hibit the use of mails to newspaper published in
the State, which contains lottery advertisement.
The reports say: 1.-THE real object and purpose
of the bill is perfectly manifest. It is the sup
preston of that species of gambling which is
carried on through the agency and instrumen-
tality of lotteries. And it adds: while we CON
cur with the majority of the committee in the
opinion that lotteries are pernicious species of
gambling, exerting an evil and demOralizing in
huence upon the people, we do not assent to the
measure of redress recommended by the pres
ent bill"
1t then states the opinion of the minority,
that the general government has no power to
suppress any kind of gambling in States or to
prohibit States from legalizing or permitting
lotteries and lottery advertisements, and that
the adoption of such law as that proposed
by the bill would establish a dangerous prece-
dent for the interference of the general govern
ment in the affairs of State.
