date in that regiment and company, and
died of smallpox in 1864. But there
was also strong evidence that he died
in 1862 of smallpox"
'How was it Strengthened out?" ask
ed the reporter.
"Well, it was learned that the man
did die in 1862. as claimed by the Wild

ticularly in those colored regiments,
the officers made every effort to keep

known darky name, the Sergeants ex-
perienced little difficulty in filing the
place of some one of the men who died
or deserted. It is supposed that in this
instance no record was made of the
death of this Nose, or whatever his
name was, when he died of smallpox in
1862, but the sergeant hunted up man
who looked enough like him to take his
place, and the new soldier adopted the
name of the dead one, and was known
as such. Two years later he also died
of smallpox, and his death was recorded.

reporter.
II don't recall the character of the re-
port made by the department to the
pension authorities, but my impression
is that neither got it. You see, the
husband, who died. did not die until
1864, when it was shown he wasn't the
man, and the son, who did die in 1864,
never was mustered in, and there you
are. One was mustered in ana didn't
die, and the other died, but was never

have no doubt it will be repealed at the
next session. The question now arises

Senate, and Republican majority of
six in the House, giving the Repubh-

The election in Cincinnati was very
close, HOadley's majority for Governor
being only little over 600 and we are
inclined 70 believe that a good deal Of
fraud was peIpetTated by both parties.
That seems to be the uniform rule in
Cincinnati, and in most of the large
cities. 1t Will be a happy day for this
country when an election can be held in
any and all parts of it without the least
taint of fraud being imputed to either
party, and for that reason compelling

DIR, HIGBEE, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, has submitted his
annual report for the year ending June
l, 1885. The number of enrolled pupils
has increased I6, 119, making a total of
9S2, ,15S. The increase of average num-
Der Of pupils in actual attendance is p, .
450, which is 5,33l more than the in
crease of number of enrolled pupils.
The difference between the number en-
rolled and the number in attendance, is
too large, numbering 325, O3O. The to-
tai number of teachers now engaged is
2, ,S64, an increase of 400. There has
been a decrease of IS in number of male
teachers and an increase of ASS in mum
Der of female teachers. TIE average
monthly salary is very little. For
males it is now S39.01 and for females
S30.0S. The Superintendent says this
is far below what it should be. Keep
ing in mind that the number of female
teachers is ), ,922 in excess of the number
of male teachers, and that their average
monthly salary is about nine dollars
less, il is evident that there is vet much
unjust discrimination against female
teachers in respect of salary, while there
is a growing recognition of their great
value in our educational work. He
trusts that this unjust discrimination
will soon be removed. Often the very
serious mistake is made of promoting
teachers from the primary grade to an
other grade in order to secure for them
a higher salary. In regard to the re-
cent Jaw requiring physiology and hy-
giene to be taught in the schools the Ie-
port says OF course, where children
cannot read intelligently or with ease it
would be a mOnstrous perversion Of or
dinary common sense to expect them to
use a text book. instruction must and
ought to be given properly adapted to
the age and attainment of the pupil.

OK Monday last the President sent to
the Senate, in reply to a resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, all the
papers and correspondence on file in the
Department of State relating to the ap-
poIntment of A. NJ. Kelley as Minister
to Italy and his subsequent appoint
ment as Minister to Austria. This
correspondence officially establishes the
fact. heretofore we'll known, that Mr..
Kelley was rejected by the Italian Gov
eTnment because of his speech at Rich
mOnd, Va. in 1871, in relation to the
occupation of Rome by the troops of
Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, and the
consequent overthrow of the temporal
power of the Pope. 1t also shows that
Mr.. Keiley's rejection by Austria was
put upon the distinct ground that his
wife was a Jewess. the Austrian Gov
eminent, through ;ts Prime Minister.
having informed Mr.. Bayard, the Amer
ican Secretary of State, that there ex-
isted scruples - against the appoint
ment, and that the position of foreign
envoy welded to a Jewess by a civil
marriage would be uutenab!e ard even
impossible in Vienna. On August 9th
James Fenner Lee, then Secretary of
Legation at Vienna, telegraphed Mr.
BayaId that the Austrian Government
could not receive MI. Kelley and had
asked the United States to appoint an
other Minister. On August 31st Mr..
BayaTd, in a long communication to Mr.
Lee, reviewing the case in detail,
writes
By no act Of mine, nor with my consent,
can the Government of the United States be
placed IN an attitude of supplication for fa-
VOr or become a petitioner for TecOpD itiOn
from any foreign power, and this expression
meets the full approval of the Executive
There is, therefore, and can be no sueges p
ton OF eXpOStulatiOn or protest by US a against
the unprecedented action Of the Government
Of Austria Hungary. All that has been
said and written by US has been designed 20
make 1t clear that as between the revoca-
ton Of Mr.. Keiey's appointment bv this
Government and his rejection as an Envoy
by that Of his Imperial aud ROYAL Majesty
the responsibility Of the final decision must
rest with the latter, which. having now sig
Z nihed its determination and accomplished
its object, must abide by the result Two
facts appeaT-first that the alleged race and
religious faith of the welded wife of an En-
vOY of the United States is held a cause for
his rejection, and further that objections by
third party, "a friendly power, - are neces-
sary to be removed in order to allow a prop
er reception to be extended. These cOudi-
tons are simply intoera5e, and are in the
case of the United States not only inhibited
by the plain spirit and undying letter of our
constitution of government but are incOn-
sistent with the decent sclf-respect that for

extravaganza. She IS very fond of
young men, and has from fifteen TO
twenty young fellows around her con-
stantly, to whom she gives all the money
they can spend. In return she expects
them 10 entertain her. While the Uni
ted States fleet was at Valparaiso not
long ago she invited all the officers to
spend a week with her at "Macul'' and
Santiago, and sent a special train to
bring them up. Admiral Upshur and
about twenty Of his officers accepted the
invitation, lodged at the widows houses
and rode in her carriages, and had a
high old time at her expense. She would
not allow one of them TO spend a dollar,
and sent word to all the shops and res
taurants that anything the American
officers ordered should be charged to her
account. y million Of dollars or so is

An abstract of the most important
parts of the Presidents message will be
found on the first page of our paper
AS we stated last week the message is
much too long TO make room for the
whole of it in our columns. A good
excuse for its length, however, is the
fact that it is the first message that has
been sent TO Congress by a Democratic
President for almost a quarter of cen
tury, and therefore Mr.. Cleveland had
abundant reason to ''spread himself. -
The message shows that MI. Cleveland
has worked with rare industry and
energy in order to make himself thor
Oughly familiar with the weighty de-
mands of his high office. His devotion
to official duties is something TemaTka-
bic and fully establishes his character
as hardworking, business man. To
say that the message has been most ia
vOTably received by the press of tie
whole country is simply to state an al
mitted fact. What the Philadelphia
Inquirer. a leading and we'll known Re
publican paper, says OF 1t may be re-
garded as a fair illustration OF public
sentiment regarding it. That paper
says Excepting alone upon the sill
yer question, the entire message is of
the most conservative character. It is
not what may be called a brilliant one,
but it is both instructive and interest
ing, ard is likely to give very general
satisfaction and tend to give confidence
to the representatives of the great man
ufacturing. commercial and financial
interests of the country. 1t is clear,
direct and manly in manner and exhaus-
tive in matter" Grover Cleveland has
shown himself to be a much bigger man
than the Republicans were willing to
admit he was at the outset of his ad-
ministratiOn, and he will continue to
grow in public confidence day by day as
his term of Office progresses.
