NEW YORK sENATORsH1r.

THIS is now one of the most inter-
esting problems of the political stu
alton since the election. Added to
the Importance OF the senatorshfp 1t.
self, is the array of distinguished
aspirants for the prize. In the list is
said to be the president Of the United
States himself, who, if he does not de-
scend from his high position to engage
in the heated contest now in progress
among the politicians of New York,
is understood to be taking part
through his friends. Then, according
to the Albany Evening journal, the
Hon. John d. Warren has entered the
race, and will be leading competitor,
but with some suspicion that he is only
to be a proxy for the president.
Morton, another aspirant, it is assert
ed, will be the chief leader of the old
style stalwarts, while Evarts, Depew,
Hiscock, and Russell will also enter
the lists. Then again, and last but
not least, Roscoe Conkling, it is not
unlikely, may close down his visor,
and like another knight old, enter
the arena, representing the independ-
ent and better element of republican
ism in New York. backed up by DEM
ocratic support in requital of Mr..
Conkling's acknowledged services in
the election of Cleveland. Besides,
there is another reason advanced by
leading democratic journals in the
north why the democrats of the New
York legislature should cast their bal
lots for Mr.. Conkling-such papers as
the st. Louis Republican and the
New York World. It is that dem
ocratic senator being out of the ques-
ton, the next best thing for the dem
ocrats and the country is to aid in the
selection of the least Objectionable re-
publican, and as "clean" and able
man as can be had. In the view of
the journals mentioned, Mr.. Conkling.
fills the bill, in this particular
Supported by the democrats, Conk-
ling's chances of again securing
the seat in the United States senate
he once imperiously and disdainfully
threw away, are, to say the least, ex-
csllent, even supposing the whole
republican strength should be thrown
on Evarts, as seems possible, in case of
such a contest. But it has been stated
from New York that Ex-senator
Conkling does not want the place.
His private law practice pays him
more. and, at his age, honors, even
of the senatorship, are of secondary
consideration. If Conkling decline
the race. the democrats of New York
viii have to cast about for some other
suitable man on which to concen-
trate.

If milk is brought just to the boil
ing point, then poured Immediately
into cans and sealed alright, it will
keep indefinitely. AS the air is eX-
PEELED by boiling, the milk keeps just
as canned goods do. If glass jars are
used they must be heated SO that boil
ing milk will not break them. Many
families keep but one cow, and this
plan will enable them to have milk
during the weeks that she is dry.

THE SOUTHERN METHOD.
From the Champagne County Ql!.) Gazette
Nov mber 10.
A former well known resident of
this city, who is sojourning in the
south, writes to the Gazette as fol-
lows:
1 was in Austin. Texas, on the day
of the election, and out of curiosity l
visited the different voting places. AT
them all I found men stationed with
shot-guns or some other deadly weap-
on, whose sole business it was to III
timidate honest, legal voters who in
tended voting the republican ticket. 1
saw man, who has lived in Austin
three years, go up to vote; he is a
good republican, and formerly resided
in Effingham, Ill. The man with the
shotgun asked him what ticket he
was going to vote. After learning, the
voter was informed that no d-n
Yankee was allowed to vote there.
On inquiry it was found that the only
excuse for refusing his vote was that
he was not a voter in the state of
Texas at the time of the presidential
election in 1880. Every impeachment
imaginable was thrown in the
way of republican voters
in order to intimidate them.
AS to the solid SOUTH" there is
none. am able to thus speak from
personal knowledge. My business
has thrown me into all parts of the
south, and among all classes of peo-
pie, affording me every advantage of
observing and studying this question
The majority OF the voters in the
south are colored men; these colored
mems votes are owned and controlled
by the white men, who are all demo
Gratis, with an occasional exception.
Those colored mer are all poor, igno-
rant wretches, who are kept under
the thumb of cruel white man
white outside, hut blacker than a
saint of darkness inside.
If those colored men were allowed
to vote as they please, and not as they
are ordered to, it would be difficult
task to find one who would vote for
democracy. They all know that a
vote for democracy means slavery fol-
them but at the same time refusal
to do so means the cutting off of the
necessaries of life.
The democrats here are very jubi-
liant over their supposed victory,
They are making many boasts how
they will enslave the negroes aud sub.
dine the Yankees

REPRESENTATIVE FoLLETT, OF
Ohio, intends to introduce bill in
this session of congress to abolish the
system providing for deputy marshals
and supervisors of elections. 1t il
not probable, however, that the senate
will concur, should the bill be passed
by the house. To the supervisors of
elections appointed by the courts
there is not much objection. When
citizens make application on oath for
supervisors in the belief that the
election in particular district will
not be properly held by the regularly
constituted board of officers, the selec-
ton of two supervisors, one from each
party, will give an additional guaranty
against fraud. But there can be few
people who will give their approval
of the fragrant abuse that has grown
up under the federal law authorizing
the appointment of deputy marshals
of elections. The number Of these
deputies depends. under the law, upon
the discretion of the United States
marshsls, and the country has at
times seen this discretion exercised to
the shame and discredit of the federal
government,

THE sABINAs REVOLT.

Some time ago special dispatches
from Laredo announced miniature
rebellion at the town of Salinas Hi
dalgo, state of Nueva Leon, northern
Mexico. This is town on the line of
the Mexican National railroad, in di-
rect communication with Laredo and
Texas, and hence. the disorders there
have assumed an interest that other
wise mightnot have attached to them.
The origin of the difficulty seems to
have been the tyranny and overbear-
ing conduct of the alcalde, whose OBJ
noxiou5ness to the people of the town
led to his assassination by a mob, the
brutal features of which attracted
much attention at the time. The town
was for some days afterwards in
possession Of an armed mob, and
the citizens of the place only ceased
their demonstrations upon the appear
ance on the scene of Gen. Trevino and
his personal appeal to the malcon-
tents. When he left Sabinas, Gen.
Trevino took with him to Monterey,
four leaders OF the revolt, to lay their
grievances before the state govern
ment. Their arrest by the authorities
of Monterey, as soon as Trevino had
departed bad faith-bas again pre-
cipitated the people of Sabinas
Hidalgo into armed revolt, who
threaten to march on Monterey
to liberate thier friends. Nor does
the matter stop here. AS ap-
pears from the Galveston News
Laredo special, publishes yesterday,
the Sabinas matter, coupled with re-
cent bloodShed at the election in the
state Of Coahuila, has stirred up the
old traditional revolutionary spirit of
Mexico. The people of the portion of
northern Mexico alluded to are ATM
ing, and two parties, government and
nti-government, are being formed
| Federal troops interfered with the
elections in Coahuila, and this has tend
ed to mould events into their present
shane. The fresh outbreak of the
revolt at Sabinas makes the situation
decidedly interesting, and one il
which we, on this side OF the Rio
Grande, are specially interested
While there is no high probability
of the armed disturbances in Goa
hula and Nueva Leon assuming
the character of respectable
rebellion against the Diaz govern
ment, the character and temper of the
land their recent history, ad-
mits of such possibility. The chiel
consideration, probably, that would
prevent any demonstration of the
malcontents of magnitude, is theil
knowledge of the determined and IN
scrupulous man now at the head Of
the Mexican government. Diaz has
already ordered concentration oil
troops at Saltillo, by which the "peo-
pies party" may understand that ht
means strict business, aud will stant
no foo]ishness. In the event OF
trouble, Americans and American in
terest in Coahuila and Nueva Leon, OF
course, will stand chance of injury

II is little wonder there is excite
ment in Canada over the lunatic

have been Encouragement, but tn
chief feature of the scandal Is the
tragic death, Tuesday last, of young

fact is, there is no telling how much
''mismanagement'' and cruelty exist
in like institutions in our own coun-
try. which never come to light. The
officers in charge of such institutions
have heavy responsibility, and ought
to be made aware that their conduct
is subject to scrutiny; or ought to be.

state committee to look after demo-
cratic interests in the counting of the
vote cast in this state at the last cleo

The question of mixed marriages,
which has been one of the subjects
before the Pienary Council at Balti-
more, is one that excites great interest
all over the country. The prelates
say that the marriages between Cath
olics and Protestants not only cause
domestic troubles. but take Catholics
away from their church or make them
very lukewarm in the faith. 1t is ex-
pected that the solemnization of such
marriages in the Catholic churches
will be strictly forbidden in the future
while such marriages may be prohib-
tied altogether under pain OF excom-
munication. If the council proceed
to the latter extreme, it will remain to
be seen whether love will laugh at
the rules of the church as it does at
locksmiths and stern parents.
