amy Speeches We're made favoring the di-

Voorhees,, of Washington Territory. The
latter strongly favored the admission OF
Washington Territory as a state Mr. Oates,

He has been ailing several days, and broke
down yesterday morning
He had come TO his work In the secretary's
Office, when it was found that he was talking
at random. His insanity seemed 10 be in the
religious line. When his condition was dis
covered the officials undertook 10 remove
him to the prison asylum. He refused to
move without being commanded by God
They were two hours in getting him across
the Court square
II is believed that disappointment in not
being assured Of pardon and the hattering
promise that Hopkins, his associate, who Is
on his deathbed, will secure pardon soon SO
worked on Harpers mind that reason was
dethroned
OF the Fidelity officers, Briggs Swift is
broken in mind and health, Harper is a raw

bones Of his sailors were paragons OF
goodness to the wretches who glory in
perpetuating the great principles OF
Thomas jefferson. Those "scurvy poll
ticians," who are posturizing as the
"truly good" in order to conciliste the
conscientious Reformers, revel in their
Pecksnifiian winnings at the danger to
the morals OF the community if the Dem
ocrats should find loophole through
which to get into municipal power. They
are still doing the great Mammamouchi
act in order to cary off Maitre Jourdain's s
daughter by playing upon the foibles OF
her ambitious father. In the meantim e
the Reformers preserve the even tenor
of their course, and the Democrats treat
their malevolent traducers with dign ified
and contemptuous silence. To the good
people OF this city the latter would
merely say, pay close attention to the
Republican primaries; watch the antics
and twitchings and canaillery of their
machine politics on that occasion, and
then say whether they have any more

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, November 2O.-The sale
of the effects of Lord Sackville was con-
tinued at the British legation to- day, and
as was the case yesterday, the articles
sold brought generally more than they
were worth. A considerable quantity of
silver and plated ware was first sold, and
hotel men were the best bidders. The
contents of the stables were then sold.
Everything which was marked with
coat of arms or looked peculiarly English
brought good figures, sometimes
two or three times their real
value. A team Ct dark brown
horses which was said to have cost
$500 short time ago, but which neces-
sarily had no distinguishing monograms, ,,
however, brought only $3.50. The double
harness they wore, covered at every avail
able place with the Sackville crest brought
a good price. After everything in the.
stable had been sold, the wines and
cigars belonging to Lork Sackyille we're
put up at auction and the bidding on
them was brisk and spirited. AT O'Clock
the auctioneer closed the sale and an
nounced that the books and pictures
which remained would be sold at the auc-
ton rooms. 1t is estimated that at least
81 900 was received from the sale.

WASHINGTON, November 20.-The new
bureau in the Department of Agriculture
authorized to be established at the last
session of Congress and known as the
Bureau of Correspondence, with agricul-
tural stations, has been assigned quarters
in the east end of the Department build
ing, and has begun work under the di-
rection of Prof. Atwater. Bulletins will
be published from time to time, setting
out the results of agricultural expert
ments in this country and abroad,
which will be distributed among the
experimental stations. A feature Of the
work will be to engage the ablest special
lists in this country and Europe to COM
pile articles on subjects about which in
formation may be required for general
distribution whenever the importance of
the subject seems to warrant the expense.
Still another function of the Bureau will
be to supply Congress with information
that may be found necessary to aid it in
legislating upon agricultural matters.

Ell ctOral Reforms,

Thoughtful citizens are giving no little
attention to some very important matters
connected with the affairs OF the body pol
itic. One of the most serious of those
questions is the election of the President.
This National upheaval occurs too fire.
quently. Every four years nine or ten
months out OF the year are devoted in
part or entirely to this business of
electing President. During the cam
paign business is, to great extent, par
ally zed in all portions of the Union. There
is much misgiving and anxiety as to
what the policy of the new Chief
Magistrate will be. On the whole one
year out Of every four witnesses the utter
Generalization OF business. The remedy
is plain and simple. Increase the Presi-
dental period to eight or ten years. The
matter of next greatest importance in
the eyes OF the best citizens of the Union
is how to eliminate the corrupt use of
money from our politics. The wider the
field over which this deleterious infu-
ence is spread the less evil it's effect.
The present plan of choosing Presidential
Electors is direct invitation to this
means of carrying elections. 1t is reason
ably we'll known how nearly all the States
in the Union will go in National cleo
ton. This will be likely to continue so.
Hence the success of one party or the
other will continue to hinge on three or
four States. Here is the suggestion 10
use money to influence the result. Ken
lucky is abandoned to one party, and the
other rushes over thousands of ignorant
and conscienceless Negroes into Indiana
to carry that State. Ohio is cure to give the
candidate big majority, and can spare
gang of villains whose proper place is
the walls of a penitentiary to turn Indi.
ana into the desired column. If the
President were chosen by popular and
direct vote of the people this could rot
be done. A vote would count in one
place for as much as in another. There
are said to be fifteen thousand "Floaters"
in the voting population of Indiana. A
''Floater"is is one who will vote one way or
the other for $2 head. The purchase of
a few thousand of these may decide
State. But if party tried to turn the
popular will in all the votes of all the
States combined it would bankrupt all
the rich knaves in America. A Presi-
dental term of ten years. duration, the
election of the President by a direct
popular vote, and the election of United
States Senators in the same manner,
are reforms which would work wonders
in American politics.
