The Senate on Wednesday, by vote of
forty-nine to nine, passed a bill placing
Gen Grant on the retired list of the army
The New York Sun is opposed to restoring
Gen. Grant to the army. There is no reason
for it, and the San says no man who has re-
signed from the army to become President
ought be restored to it afterwards. Just
why certain Senators and newspapers are
continually endeavoring to place Gen. Grant
on the retired list of the army is not appar-
ent. 1t is true he has lost heavily in the
swindling firm of Grant & Ward, but he is not
poor His income amounts to many thous-
ands annually from an investment of private
subscription of several hundred thousands of
dollars. His sons are all married to wealth,
and his wife has ample means. 1t is time a
halt is called in the pension business. The
largest expense of the government is for pen
sions, and much that is drawn is anything but
a benefit to those receiving it.

When Republican Senator or Represen-
tatiye seeks notoriety he attacks Jefferson
Davis. In charaeterizing him he reflects upon
all those who were associated with him
in the effort to establish separate govern
ment, and they reply. Then the aforesaid
notoriety seekers parade their own loyalty
while denouncing secession, the speeches be-
ing intended for their constituencies. Mr.
Davis was no more of sinner than were three
fourths of the Senators and Representatives
from the seeding states, yet the same men
who delight to attack defenceless old man
associate upon the most intimate terms with
many of the "Rebel Brigadiers 1t is
noticeable fact that very few ex-Federal sol
diers ever allude harshly to the ex-confeder-
ates. and vice versa. Hot heads North and
South brought on the war, and only hot
heads now refer disagreeably to the issues
of that period. Gen. Sherman is the only
distinguished Federal officer that hes done so
of late, and but for the fact that some member
of an army post violated his oath and report
ed his speech, the public would have known
nothing oft. Gen. Sherman, perhaps, had no
idea of rejecting upon Mr.. Davis personally,
when referring to his policy. He stated what
he believed to be fact, not what he knew.
He has gathered what evidence he could and
filed it in the. War Department, and the call
ing for copy of that letter precipatated a
debate in the Senate on Monday and Tuesday
which consumed considera, lie time and served
no public good, but presented opportunity for
few Senators to bring themselvesinto notice
by impugning the honor of Mr.. Davis.

Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the eccentric fe-

at-law, dresses in garb which is a cross be-

on tricycle., and who was the candidate for
President of a lot of cranks, has sent petition
to Congress. 1t was presented on Monday in
the Senate by Mr.. Hoar, and requests that the
votes cast for her at the late presidential cleo
ton be counted. She asks that the Senate
s.refuse to receive the Electoral returns of
the State of New York or count them for the
alleged majority candidate, for had the 1886
votes polled in said State for your petitioner
been counted for her, and not for one Grover
Cleveland, he would not have been awarded
majority of the votes cast at said election in
said State. She further asks that the Electoral
vote of Indiana be counted for her, because,
she says, after the Electoral College of that

Forgeries in Pennsylvania,

The Shrewsbury correspondent of the York
Gazette says
'sThere is some talk on the streets, about a
number of forged endorsements of notes hav-
ing come to light since the death of David
Hershey, of New Freedom. 1t is claimed
that his fathers, his uncle's and other names
that appear on notes of the deceased are for
geries. This is disputed by the holders of the
notes, and it is claimed the endorsers will
have to show beyond all doubt that the en-
dorsements are forgeries, otherwise they will
be made to pay the notes. The amounts
claimed as forgeries on different notes and
papers amounts to very large sum, though
not as large as first reported. 1t seems very
strange, if the charge should prove true, that
man of his limited ability should carry on
this plan of forging endorsements on notes
so long and on so many papers in different
places without detection. 1t hardly seems
credible, and the matter no doubt will be
sifted by the parties holding the notes.

WESTMINSTER, MD.
SATURDAY. January Il, 1886.

A hasty reeling or dull comprehension has
led the Hagerstown Nail into an error con-
corning the ADVOCATE views of Civil Service
Reform. There is no Flaniganism in the
ADVOCATE position, nor the remotest hint OF
It I'M its article. There are 10000 positions
not affected by the Civil Service law. These
positions most of them-should be filled
with new men, because the people so declared
at the last election. If the verdict at the polls
did not mean change, then we fail to under
stand the matter. Republican rule was dis
tasteful on account Of the fraud, bribery, theft
and corruption that had grown up under 1t.
The people desired areturn to purer methods,
and voted the party out of power, so far as
they could, in eIecting a Democratic Presl-
dent and House of Representatives IN ac-
cord with him. The abuse of power and
place, the thefts, frauds and bribery cannot
be effcctually stopped unless those guilty are
removed, and their removal, we take it, was
the meaning Of the political revolution last
year Mr. Cleveland has declared thai often
sive craftsmanship is just cause alone for re,
moval of those guilty Of it, and the Mail well
knows that partisan service has been the chief
test Of the merits Of government officials for
many years.
The ADVOCATE desires that the will of the
people be carried out, and the dishonest and
officious partisans be expelled from place and
power If that be not done, the election last
fall will count for but little.
The ADVOCATE said nothing about office for
individuals. Just as the Nail says, there were
principles and policies that moved the great
mass Of the people, and those principles and
policies were just the opposite of those Of the
party in power. To put into practice these
principles and policies, in our Judgment,
would require the filling of places with men
subscribing to them.

A controversy is now in progress over st.
Johns position in the late canvass. 1t is
charged that he was on the make, and that
overtures were made to the Republican Ma
tional Committee to retire from the contest in
favor of Blaine for money consideration.
The committee made an offer, so it is said,
but it was too low, and st. John did not re-
tire. Charges and denials have been made,
but positive evidence. viii soon be forthcom-
ing to settle the matter So far the evidence
is against st. John.

The trouble in the Hooking Valley (Ohio)
mining regions, which began last summer,
still continues, and there is no immediate
prospect of a cessation. There have been
riots, murders, fires and train wrecking.
Troops have been dispatched there and with
drawn, and detectives have stood armed guard
over the property of the coal company for
several months. Troops have again been sent
to the scene of disorder, and the miners, grow
ing still more desperate, are forming com
panies and drilling, and it is supposed they
propose to attack the state troops.

Ex-Vice- President Schuyler Colfax dropped
dead, from the stoppage of the flow of blood
to the heart, in the Omaha depot at Mankato,
Minnesota on Tuesday morning. He was
native of New York city, but removed to In
diana in early life. He had very limited
education, quitting school at eleven years OF
age, and afterward became printer and then
studied law. When twenty-five years OF age
he established newspaper at South Bend,
and soon became prominent as Wing. He
rapidly grew in influence, was elected to Con-
gress for number of terms and was three
times Speaker. In 1868 he was chosen Vice
President on the ticket with Gen. Grant, and
at the expiration of his term went out of pub
lie life, which was clouded by his connection
with the Credit Mobilier scandal Mr.. Col
fax was man of ability, as his political sue
cess clearly established, but his downfall was
rapid and complete. Once he was regarded
as Christian statesman, but after the Credit
Mobilier episode he was regarded by many as
hypocrite, and was sneeringly alluded to as
'.Smiler'' Colfax, because, as the poet so
graphically puts it, "a man may smile
and smile and still be villain" Mr. Colfax' s
face was constantly wreathed in smiles, his
manner always cordial and his tongue oily.
Had he been Christian enough to avoid
bribery, his talents would have placed him
high up on the roll of great statesmen of
America.

The Race for the N. Y. senatorship.


The New York Times, commenting upon
the candidacy of Hon. Levi P. Morton, min
lister to France, for United States Senator
from New York, says:
IF Mr.. Levi p Morton deem it a harsh
thing to say that his election to the United
States Senate would bring lasting odium upon
the Legislature that chose him and deep dis
grace upon the State he represented, it IS be-
cause he has placed himself in a position
where the plain truth is intolerable to him.
Though he be three thousand miles away,
Mr.. Morton cannot be ASSOCIATED from the
shameless corruption of his canvass. The
methods and the agents employed in his
behalf are of his own choosing. About the
former there is no pretense OF concealment.
Money, the potent agency that has gained
for Mr. Morton whatever public standing and
recognition he already enjoys, is to be lavish
ly employed for the qualification of his further
ambition. And in its disbursement he en-
ploys gang of bankrupt politicians, men
whose very touch is poison to honest politics,
men of such i'll repute that their active con-
neetion with any sort of political enterprise is
challenge to all good citizens to be on their
guard OF boundless Selhshness, revengeful,
INSCRIPTIONS, wholly indifferent to the public
honor and the public welfare, and having no
concern about public opinion, these men to
whom Mr.. Morton has intrusted the manage
ment of his canvass have earned the detesta-
ton of the larger part of the Republican party
in this State As between the sale OF the
senatorship to Mr.. Levi P. Morton and the
tender of the Office to Mr.. Evarts by the I'M
bribed action of the Legislature the latter is
infinitely more to be preferred. But we re-
main of the opinion that the Legislature can
90 further and fare better. If Mr.. Evarts has
some of the higher qualifications for the Sen.
ate, he has also some grave defects of mental
and moral constitution which unfit him for a
post of such grave public responsibility. We
have before referred to his utter lack of cour-
age and conscience in public affairs, pointing
out that in critical and stormy times no public
interest is safe, no public cause well served
in the hands of man who timidy shrinks as
Mr.. Evgrts does from all rude battling for the
right against odds, and joins a progressive
and reforming movement only when the ma.
jority swings to that side and makes 1t safe. "

jefferson Davis.

Commenting upon the debate growing out
of the Sherman Davis controversy, and the
delight with which certain people attack Mr..
Davis, the New York World says:
Other nations have had their trials similar
to our own. Yet with restored peace has
come revived patriotism. 1t would be fatal
to politician in Germany, France. Spain,
Italy or any European country to assail his
own countrymen, and to attempt to prove
them false and reasonable. Yet this is the
effort of the Republican politician in the
United States. He selects Jefferson Davis as
the convenient instrument of his malice.
Perhaps if Mr.. Davis, instead of leading the
life of private citizen, had lent his name,
which beyond doubt has certain influence,
to firm of Wall street brokers, had made
himself friendly with the Goulds, Vanderbilts
and Fields of the moneyed classes, and had
voted the Republican ticket, he would have
been courted by the politicians who now hold
him up as a scarecrow and lash themselves
into fury whenever his name is mentioned.
