The Senatc's Railroad Lawyers.
The Republican Senator'S are making a
big fight against Senator Beck's bill pro-
hibiting Senators from acting as attorneys
for railroads. When the bill first came
up for consideration it passed with only
eleven votes against it. The great ma
jority of the Republicans who were really
opposed to it were afraid to oppose
it. Tnrough the efforts of Senator
Hawley, however, it was reconsidered
and sent to the judiciary Committee.
The report of that committee, of which
Senator Edmunds is chairman, is looked
for with considerable interest. Mr.. Ed
munds is opposed to the bill. He is one
of the great railroad lawyers OF the
Senate. 1t has been stated that his fees
for arguing cases-chiefy railroad cases
i'm the supreme Court amount annually
to at least $25, 900. One of the reasons for
his opposition to the Beck bill is, there
fore, evident.
When the bill was before the Senate on
the question of reconsideration few Of
the Republican Senators tried TO make it
appear that Senator's official position
was not taken into consideration by rail-
roads when seeking his services as a law
yer. These Senators are, doubtless, mis-
taken.
One of the most brilliant men and, at
the same time, one of the ablest lawyers
who was ever in the Senate was Matt
Carpenter, of Wisconsin. He was men,
ber Of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
and for a time was Its chairman.
1t is recalled that he ad-
mitted on one occasion that
the fact that he was member of the Ju-
dietary Committee doubled his income
from his law practice. He said that he
knew that he was a successful lawyer and
much sought after, but that when he left
the Senate and the Judiciary Committee
he was no longer employed by the rail-
road corporations which have large inter-
ests at stake at Washington.
With testimony like this staring them
in the face it is not easy to understand
how MIR. Edmunds, Mr.. Eyarts and other
Republican Senators can conscientiously
oppose the Beck bill.

Mr.. Chauncey Depew's Sensation.

Mr.. Chauncey Depew's Sensation.
A writer in the New York Star shows
that the statement of Mr.. Chauncey
Depew last summer in a speech before the
New York Chamber of Commerce, that
Gen. Grant had saved the Union twice,
mas little or no foundation. The basis of
Mr.. Depew's statement was that Presi-
dent johnson expected tc have rupture
with Congress, and approached Gen.
Grant with the suggestion that, as the
head of the army, he should sustain him
In the event of trouble, and that when
President johnson found that Gen.
Grant would not give MIN any assurance
of support he tried to get him out OF the
country by ordering him to undertake a
Diplomatic mission to Mexico.
The Star writer, soon after this speech
of Mr.. Depew's, had talk with Gen.
Sherman, and asked him what he thought
| of that part of it wherein Gen. Grant was
! made to figure a second time as the savior
of the Union. Gen. Sherman said thai
| the statement of Mr.. Depew was all bosh
that Gen. Grant, doubtless, told him what
he gave to the public, but that Gen. Grant
was mistaken.
Gen. Sherman gave the Star writer a
statement of the relations which existed
between President Johnson and Gen.
Graut, which tended to show that
Gen. Grant put a construction on the acts
and words of President Johnson in after
years entirely different from that which he
/ put upon them at the time it is alleged that
President johnson endeaVOred TO infiu-
ence him TO take sides against Congress.
II Gen. Grant had thought that President
johnson was endeavOring TO use him for
any unlawful purpose ne would not have
remained silent. He would nave de-
n0uuced the President and gained what
ever credit there was to be obtained from
pursuing such course.
With reference to the diplomatic mis-
sion TO Mexico Gen. Sherman SAYS that
that was fixed up by Secretary Seward,
who was crazy 10 be President, aud who
saw that public sentiment was setting
towards Gen. Grant for that position. He
thought TO get Gen. Grant out OF the coun-
try on some unimportant mission with
the hope that ne would do some foolish
thing which would bring MIN into disre-
pu e, and destroy his popularity with the
people.
President johnson did not understand
Stewards programme, and was easily per
suaded by Seward TO order Gen. Grant tc
Mexico In connection with the diplomatic
business. Gen. Grant declined to 20, anC
Gen. sherman agreed TO go in his place
Seward saw bis nicely arranged plan tai
and was greatly chagrined.
Gen. sherman doubtless furnishes al
there is in the story, and from his state
ment there isn't nything in II that
worth much 10 the historian.

What the Best Interests of the Party
Require.

W nat Jll0 b0SJ inbeFSStS "a l'iN 90 -
Require.
The indications are that the Gordon
Bacon contest will leave the Democratic
party in this State in very iEharmonious
condition. The supporters OF the de-
feated candidate tor the Gubernatorial
nomination will hardly consent to let by
cones be bygones and join hands enthusl-
astically in supporting the victorious
candidate. The evidence that bitter
feeling will continue to exist, after the
question Of the nomination has been de-
termined, is cropping out all the time.
A few days ago, in a speech, Gen. Cor
don called attention TO one of the meanest
of the ISLANDERS which were being circu-
lated about Maj. Bacon. He declared
that it was without foundation, and de-
nounced the author OF it. He took occa-
sion to speak of Maj Bacon in terms Of
the highest praise.
Mai Bacon's attention was called to
this ACTION OF Gen. Gordon, and, remem-
berjag what Gen. Gordon had said about
kim in connection with his resignation
from the position of Adjutant of a Geor-
gia aregiment in the early part of the war;
he stated publicly that he wanted no GER
tficate OF character from him.
Doubtless, if Maj. Bacon had taken oc-
casion to say something in praise OF Gen.
Gordon, it would have called from Gen.
Gordon pretty much the same sort of a
remark that Gen. GordOn's words Of
praise called from Maj. Bacon.
or course, the defeated faction isn't gO-
ing to try to defeat the party's nominee.
There is some talk OF that kind, but it is
not of a character to deserve serious con-
sideration. Its purpose is to influence the
primaries and mass meetings rather than
to indicate an irreconcilable hostility be-
tween the factions.
There Is no reason to doubt, however,
that the defeated faction will not taGe an
active and enthusiastic part in the cam
paign after the ticket is made. This will,
of course, be the occasion OF regret, be-
cause it certainly must be the desire of
every true Democrat in the State that
there shall be the utmost harmony in the
party.
Well defined faction lines indicate
weakness, and JUSTIFY apprehensions that
the party is in danger of gong to pieces
in the event of an extraordinary strain
upon it. There is no prospect of any such
strain at present, but who is there who is
prepared to Say that it may not come in
the near future?
1t may be now too late to avoid the evil
effects of the Gordon-Bacon campaign.
Too many counties have acted to leave
much room for hoping that neither Gen.
Gordon nor Maj. Bacon will have a clear
majority in the convention. There is, of
course, just a chance that Democrats
may see that the triumph of either one or
the other of them will do the party great
harm, and may conclude that the good of
the party is OF far more consequence than
the success OF either Of them.
1t Is undoubtedly true that the senti-
ment in favor OF nominating for Gov
ernOr some man who has not been active
in seeking the nomination is growing, and
it is growing not because of a belief that
neither Gen. Gordon nor Maj. Bacon is
ft to be Governor, but because the best
of the party will be injured by
the nomination of either of them.

The ball given by the Brotherh ood of Locomotive Engineers at Wlnslow, tuesday night wa, grand success. People cam. there from hundreds of miles east and west, md ;he town was tested beyond its capacity to accom- modate the influx of strangers, many having to sit np all night in default of fin.lng a resting place. Ire new machine shop, an extension of the round house, was used as the bail room, and 1t is estimated that at least one hundred and fifty couples partici- pated in the dance. There were twenty-eight dances on the pro gramme which was fully carried out. The music was furnished by string band from Albuquerque and was ex cellent. At about midnight fine supper was spread out at the Railroad House to which two hundred and fifty invited guests sat down. The regular festivities were kept up until four o'clock in the morning. but other independent festivities were indulged in until the train left for the west at about seven. The tired, sleepy but still smiling crowd which landed here at ten o'clock next day voted this a most delightful excursion and enter tainment and were loud in their prai jes ofthe B. of L. E. Among the throng the CHAMPION representative noticed the following members of :he Flagstaff contingent: Mesdames Hen- dirk, Rumsey, Fitzpatrick and Parsley; Misses Graham, Taylor, Branncn and Beale and Messrs.
