is natural that such people look upon sue"
man with great admiration.
1t would be better, however II Senator
Lamar would keep his observations IN regara
to Mr.. Davis for other places than the Unitea
States Senate. In that body Mr.. Davis hlmseiI
once SAT. traitor to his country, conspirlne
while there to overthrow the Government. "A
decent self-respect might prompt Mr. Lamar,
while OCCUPYING a seat in that body, not to boast
that he regards with honor deliberate VIOLA
ton of the official oath which every Senator
fakes. A moderate knowledge of history, too,
might prompt him to remember that moro
than any other man, living or dead, Jefferson
Davis was per rsonally responsible for the loss OF
many precious lives, for the creation OF great
National debt, for the devastation OF Southern
States, and the prolonging OF war which, lor
the last two years at least, was known to capa-
bile men at the South to be utterly hopeless
The insane selfish ambition of MIR. DAVIS, or
perhaps the just fear that he would be made to
pay the penalty of his treason on the gailows'
caused him to keep up the contest after the
Governors of several of the Southern States
had become convinced that it ought to cease In
Justice to the people.

THE LAST SHARON CASE SENS1IION.


The Sharon divorce case has been prolific OF
sensations. but the latest, in which it was. de
welcomed that General Barnes, Sharon's leading
counsel had paid $25, 900 for bogus contract
between Tyler, Sarah Althea's lawyer, anu
Gumpert, the photographic expert who sworc
TO the genuineness of the dear wife letters
certainly caps the climax II appears that Tyler
and his clerk deliberately laid trap for
Barnes, and that he fell into it with prompu-
tude which would be extraordinary if it were
not partially explained by the general character
of the case. The fact is that from the be-
ginning there has been all manner OF intriguing
on both sides. and tactics have Been resortcd to
such rs il NAV be hoped are very seldom en-
ployed in litigation. The principle oi "hghtinH
the devil with fire has been acted upon to an
upprecedented extent and with such abandon
that the public have long since given up all
hone of finding out which party was the least
scrlipulous. And while the lawyers and wit
nesses have all been engaged in jocl<eying one
another, Nelson appears to have been doing his
best to make confusion worse coniounded ny
charging the whole drnmatis persoa9 with per-
iurv. forgery, conspiracy, and such othcr
felonies rs seemed to him opportunc and slim
uiating. Under these circumstances things had
cot into 80 phenomenal a tangic that any new
dcvclopmcnt whatever might well have been
thought pos>ibe: and rs Nelson's statements
about TYLER represented him as sort of West
ernized compound OF the firm of Quirk, Cam
mon & Snap, it is hardly surprising that
Barnes should have thought him capable OF
making such contract rs was said to have
been effected with Guppert.
Only the comprehensive decentralization
which this amazing trial seems to have spread
abroad could perhaps have blinded General
Barnes 10 the ethical character o. the transac-
tim into which he was led with such disastrous
consequences to himself. But the key 10 the
situation is obviously the nature of the ma
nnuyIes which both sides have been using out
side the court, and which have now apparently
fitted them for anything, no matter how dis
reputable. Judge Sullivan has been compelled
TO distinguish between the cOmbatants, but the
general public have abandoned the attempt to
do 50. and now only look on in an cxpcctant
way, determined not To BE- surprised any more,
whatever happens. What the Pacific Coast Bar
Association thinks of the conduct of the case,
however is pertinent inquiry. II 1t Is To DE
regarded as 10 more than representative Of local
practice. the fact ought to be known. II the
methods rcsOrtel to are considered improper
and degrading by the bar of the State aud
Coast, that fact should be made public.
Hitherto we regret TO observe that there has
been no professional expression of disapproval
uttered. and that 50 far as appears. the cxtiaor-
dinary proceedings which have marked this
case throughout are accepted as By no means
abnormal or discrcditablc.

well fit him for this responsible posi-
ton. The widespread demand that the
great work of municipal reform which
was so well began last session should be
completed this year lends exceptional interest
to the composition of the Committee on

pacity, and he is well acquainted with the
defects of our local government as well as with
the drift OF public sentiment in regard to the
remedies that ought to be applied. The com

there are one or two members upon II
that detract from its strength Mr. Hubb2il.
Mr. Erwin's principal competitor for the Speak
ership, goes to the head OF General Laws. In
| the last House he had no Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Baker, who last year was secsnd on

| of that committee. The always important Rail
road Committee has Mr. Haskell, of Madison,
for its chairman. Last year Mr. Haskell was
| Chairman on Engrossed Bills and gave good
account of himself. The fact that the chair
manship of the Committee on Commerce

for the position, is n capable and experienced

Our Albany dispatches mention that there is
some dissatisfaction expressed with the

of this feeling, and the specific grounds upon
which it rests remain to be seen.

Senator Lamar feels that it is his duty as a
Senator from Mississippi, whenever the name
of Jefferson Davis is mentioned, to express the
sentiment of " his people" His people, it is to
be remembered are a minority Of the citizens
of Mississippi, viz, certain white Democrats
who have got possession of that State by aSsas-
sination and massacre, and who retain possess
sion by fraud. This organized band of law
breakers naturally regard Jefferson Davis with
veneration. He is their ideal statesman. He
deliberately broke the solemn Oaths which he
tpok TO support the Constitution and the Gov
ernment of the Union. just rs they, the white
Democrats of Mississippi, violate all sorts of
oahs, official and other, in order to rob the ma
jority of the people of that State OF their rights
Jefferson Davis, a Senator of the United States
deliberately conspired rs n traitor against the
United States Government to overthrow 1t, just
as Mr.. Lamar, and Mr. George, and othcr white
Democrats deliberately conspred against the

sippi had established. Davis was an oath
breaker, conspirator. and traitor, and the

THE DENOCR1TIC CONUNDRUM

their title to upbcar the party standard But
The World, another shining light of Democratic
opinion, is convinced that the one thing ncedlul
is to turn the rascals out" and evidently does
not care a brass faithing about the Constitu-

racy who thundcrs xforth his commands from
Louisville "bctwccn the sherry ana the cham

Now it is interesting to observe that this little
discussion takes place after the election. These
people first support their party, and then try to
find out what il il. They first elect n President,
and then set themselves 10 investigate him, and
send out exploring expeditions to Albany, and
ask each other with bated breath and CORFU

accomplished the great feat OF electing the

SUGAR FoR ONE CENT A POUND.

Snonish treaty, we should prevent the rcaliza-

connection with that negotiation.
DIR. Collier, therefore, should be invited to
exnlain himself The country ought to know
what reason he has for the faith that is in him.
What lac says is entitled to great weight. No
one has contributed so much as he to the solu-

making sugar from sol ghum. In 1879, while as
vet his famous experiments were only fairly
bocun the whole product of this commodity in
the United States was less than 10000
mounds. Yet scientists had been wrestling z
with the problem for thirty or forty years.
Last year, directly rs the result of his discover

crease of one hundred and twenty five fold in
five years. This substantial veri6catiOn of the
nrophecics he made while in the service of the
Government, taken with the handsome recOg-

Sciences aud the confirmation of many OF his
results by subsequent investigation in this and

RUSSIA, ENGLAND AND INDIA.

There is rising in England feeling of serious
alarm concerning the state of India, and the in
tentions of Russia in Central Asia For some
time past there have been disquieting reports
from India. 1t is not only the truculcnt and
disloyal tone of the veruacular press which
causes uncasiness, but movement among the
intelligent and influential natives which is gem
orally believed to reflect Russian intrigue.
Many experienced Anglo Indians express the
opinion that the country is ripe fol anotherre
bellon. and not few apprchcnd trouble from
the feudatory and independent native princes,
in the event of such an uprising. These native
princes have in their pay an aggregate of
300, 900 troops, aud possess 5000 cannon. 1t

Some of the Democratic leaders declare them
selves particularly desirous that Mr.. Clevcland's

unless it be that of hunger and thirst for

Perhaps the most important point in the re-
mort of the Board of Railroad Commissioners
relates to the building of useless railways The
Board think it would be good thing to give
them the right to decide when and where anew

lines already in operation from ruinous compe-

Governor Abbett's message to the New
