mnrat Halstend,s neiection.

The effort upon the part of certain Repub-
lican newspapers and some of the leaders OF
the Ohio wing of the party TO make martyr
of Murat Halstead, whose nomination for
Minister to Germany was rejected by the
United States Senate, is about as ridiculous an
affair as has occurred in American politics
for some years. His rejection was not as a
punishment for his newspaper utterances
against certain Senators, as alleged, but on
account of his unftness. He was unfit be-
cause of his lack of discretion, his intolerance
toward those who hold opposite views, and
his rashness and bitterness, and besides he
has had no experience in diplomacy nor in
public life.
Those who are attempting to make martyr
of Mr.. Halstead are claiming that 1t was his
bitter onslaught upon Senator Payne and
some Republicans who opposed an investlga-
ton as to Mr.. Payne's right to seat IN the
Senate, that brought about his defeat.
They assert that the Senate in rejecting
Mr.. Halstead assumed censorship OF the
press. and in this certain independent and
Democratic journals have joined These
journals. like Mr. Halstead, however, have
mistaken license for liberty, and ike the
Commercial Gazette, Mr.. Halstead' Journal
use license in eriticising public men.
As a rebuke to the Republican Senators,
Messrs. Evarts, Dawes, Cullom, Quay, ingalls,
and Teller, who opposed Mr.. Halstead 5
nomination, it is now proposed to elect Mr.
Halstead to the United States Senate to sue
coed Mr.. Payne. There are several obstacles
in the way of accomplishing this. First will
be the difficulty of electing a Republican
legislature in Ohio this fall, for the chances
are all in favor Of the Democrats, and the
recent local elections showed considerable
gains for that party. Second, there are
several strong aspirants for the Senatorship
in the Republican party, including Governor
Foraker, who will not step aside for Mr.
Halstead: and, third, Mr.. Halstead is not
the kind of man martyrs are made Of HIS
vindictiveness, intolerance and rashness have
arrayed against him a large body OF his own
party, and he could never get united sup
port for any position. His entrance into the
field for Senator would cause split in the
Republican party that would certainly be
wide aud deep, aud instead Of going to the
Senate to repay old scores, be would place
his party in a helpless minority for some
years by the bitter antagonists his candidacy
would beget.

Throughout the couetry the local elections
have been favorable 10 the Democracy, es-
pesiany in Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana and

The result last fall did not carry dismay
into the Democratic ranks, but served to
spur the party to renewed activity and to re-

Concerning Removals.

The Secretary Of the Interior on Saturday
last issued the following order concerning re
movals;
Heads of bureaus and other officers Of
this department will not call for designations
except by direction Of the Secretary, and in
making recommendations for the dismissal OF
employees viii please state specifically the
reasons therefor, and must state whether
there has been due examination Of all papers
on file in the appointment division and there
must be transmitted to the Secretary all
papers bearing on the subject and the recon-
mendations-
This may mean that Secretary Noble does
not propose to make removals for the mere
sake ofreplaeing Democrats with Republicans,
or it may be that be is fortifying himself agaiust
any possible investigation for violation Of the
civil service law. The true meaning will
shortly be known. The Administration is
committed to the maintenance Of the civil
service law, both by the Republican platform
and by Mr.. Harrisons Letter Of Acceptance.

A Bold Scheme Proposed.

1t is proposed by some Republicans to
redistrict the South into congressional districts
by act of Congress, and they affirm that power
to do so is given in the constitution. The
only provision of the constitution bearing
upon this subject is the fourth section of
Article /, as follows:
tsThe times, places and manner of holding
elections for Senators and Representatives
shall be prescribed in each state by the Leg
islature thereof; but the Congress may at any
time by law make or alter such regulations,
except as to the places of choosing Senators.
The power to make or alter regulations as
to times, places and manner Of holding cleo
tions, does not include the right to redistrict
a state or to prescribe the limits of a congress
sional district. After each census states are
granted sneh number of representatives as
their populations shall entitle them under the
apportionment and the state legislatures have
the power, and the sole power, of setting
apart congressional districts. If any state
chooses, all of the Representatives to which
it is entitled can be elected by majority vote
of the whole people, just as electors are
chosen. There is no obligation for the cree
ton of districts, and the custom has its origin
in party expediency.
The Congress could not make a law that
would apply to ore part of the Union and not
TO another that would stand the test of the
courts, and even ifi had power to do SO, and
would undertake to invade the rights of the
states by any redistricting scheme in the
South, it would provoke such a revolution as
this country has never seen. The Southern
States are members of the Union, and as
such will insist upon every right and privilege
that is asserted and enjoyed by every other
state. They ask nothing more, nor will they
tolerate anything less. The redistriet'ng
scheme is one Of the creations of the infamous
Col. w. w. Dudley, or at least he is credited
with attending a conference in which this
scheme was discussed and agreed upon, and
If any attempt is made to carry II through
Congress the protest viii not come alone from
the states to be affected, but from every part
of the Union.
The scheme is a dangerous one, and as oeid
and as daring as the Republican machine is,
we doubt If it will be seriously considered by
Congress. In fact, such scheme could not
be passed in the Fifty.First Congress, and 1t
win be many years after its expiration before
the Republican party viii have majority IN
both houses.

MrxNEApoIs, Mimi, April 4.-puring the
last two days South Dakota and Minnesota
have been swept by series of wind storms
which have caused hundreds of thousands OF
dollars damage to property, Several lives

places prairie fires, famed by the storms,

hundreds Of farmers houses. The towns
almost completely destroyed are Violin: olivet,
Pukawana, Lesteryille and Mount Vernon;
three or four other villages were badly dam
aged. At Violin all houses except three are
demolished, and 100 people are without
homes. Lesterville was hattened to the
ground and twenty families are without a
roof. A terrible gale struck Mount Vernon
and fire started. Nearly 200 families are
homeless and the loss will foot up 5000, 900.

1t is stated that President Harrison has rendered
the post Office at Richmond, Va, to Mrs Stonewall
jackson. This lady lived in Richmond until a few
years since, when her daughter was married She
has been living with her father in North Carolina
during the past six months. Her father has reached
a very advanced age, for which reason she declined
the tender fthc postoice at Lexington, Va, where
the body of her husband is buried. Her friends i'll
Richmond, however, will endeavor to induce her to
accept the Richmond postmastershp which is a
lucrative one 1t is stated tina; the President thinks
that by appointing Mrs. Jackson, he will not have
to recognize either of the contending Republican
factions, and will, at the same time, give the posi-
ton to a lady held in high esteem by all.

President Harrison acted wisely in letting
the Senate adjourn. An antagenism be-
tween him and thai body was brewing, and
serious strained relations have thus been
avoided until after the fall elections. The
President was advised that Murat Halstead
would not be confirmed, and he was urged to
withdraw his nomination. He refused to do
40. and Mr.. HaIstead was promptly rejected,
and motions to reconsider, after full and free
discussion, were also rejected. The. Presi-
dents appointees as delegates to ibe Congress
Of American nations also met with objection
by leading Republicans, Senator Frye, Of
Maine. asserting that bat one of the ten was
