Eteniko Teleobaph goes to press at lj

Mb Abbott, of North Carolina, proposes
to attempt, to get a seat in the United States
Senate, not because he received a majority
of votes for that position, or because he is
legally elected, but because his suooessf ul
competitor, Governor Vance, is disqualified.
If the latter allegation is well founded it
seems an infinitely better reason for ordering
a new eleotion than for admitting to the
Senate a man who is not the legal ohoioo of
the people of North Carolina. The Republi
can party of the South has already suffered
so much from arrangements similar to that
contemplated by Abbott, that they should all
be discountenanced in future. A large por
tion of the office-holding Southern Republi
cans have proven miserable and traitorous
time-servers at best, and it is an exceedingly
unprofitable task to exercise doubtful powers
in behalf of any of them. They are too poor
a lot to justify heavy investments.
It is humored that while the teohnlcal rea
son that Ahern is not brought to trial on the
charge of creating a riot in the room ooou
pied by the Return Judges of the 'October
election may be neglect to prefer charges in
the proper manner, the reason why such
charges are not preferred is that Ahern's trial
would lead to developments damaging to
soma of the Republican politicians .of this
city. Is it possible that this story is true?
If so, the publio will be more anxious than
ever to learn how it is possible that Ahern,
the chosen favorite of the Fourth ward, could
have aoted in harmony with, or in the interest
of, shining lights of the Republican organiza
tion.' This dark mystery should be oleared
np. The present Distriot Attorney has
shown that, in some instanoes at least, he is
ready to enforce strict justice against mem
bers of his own party, and we do not see why
he should be over-mindful of the reputation
of any Republican politicians.
Oovernor Geary claims -credit for being
wonderfully virtuous in the exercise of the
pardoning power, and he has made a great
parade of his readiness to take the publio into
his counsels, and to inform them of the rea
sons for which each pardon has been granted.
When this doctrine came to be applied, how
ever, to a case that excited much interest in
this community that of - Dr. Landis Geary
suddenly changed his base; all the aooompa
Bying papers were placed beyond
the reach of our reporter, and un
usual precautions were taken to withhold
the names and statements of the petitioners
from the publio. If there had been really
good grounds for a pardon, the Governor
should have been glad to spread theui before
the oommunity, and to explain as fully as
possible how he came to overrule the judg
ment of a Philadelphia Court and a Philadel
phia jury in regard to the character of a pub
lication that had appeared in their midst.
The suppression of the pardon petition or
petitions in question, therefore, is strongly
indicative of oonscions error.
Missouri is a great State for free fights,
political as well as personal, and it appears
not unlikely that her politicians are about to
have one over the United States Sanatorship.
The Democracy, who have a majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature of about four
teen votes, recently nominated as their can
didate blatant Frank Blair, and as several
good men and true, who have followed the
Democratic banner through sunshine and
storm, were set aside to gratify his ambi
tion, there are many grumblings and gro cl
ings among the true blues of the Democratic
camp. On the other hand the Republicans,
after having frittered away their strength by
foolish divisions, are beginning to see the
necessity of a display of partisan wisdom, and
they are to hold a caucus to-night, at which a
candidate strong enough to carry off the
prize may possibly be nominated. It is to be
hoped that mutual conciliation will lead to
the defeat of Blair. Everything by turns
and nothing long, he is one of the most
arrant demagogues and most dangerous poli
ticians injbe country, and his electiou to the
Senate would be little less than a national
calamity. .
The long agony occasioned among politi
cians by the consolidation of Internal Reve
sue districts in this city is over. Judge Kel
ley comes out of it right side up, the old
officers of the Fourth district, Mesbrs. Sickel
and Barrett, being both retained in olfloe and
their rule extended over the Second district
in addition to their old domain. A compro
mise was effected in the choioe of the officials
in the newly-consolidated First and Third
districts, the Collector of the former and the
Assessor of the latter being kept in omoe, so
that Boice and Myers eaoh get half a loaf.
Sinoe these grave matters are settled, and
since the hearts of the country members are
gladdened by an abandonment of the soheme
for consolidating the country districts, the
Washington world will onoe more wag on
smoothly, and good citizens can retire to bed
in the comfortable assurance that the Union
is mfe.
TIIK VIC KEN SnOOTINQ CASS
AO A IN.
A vkot determined effort is now being made
to obtain the remission of the forfeited bail
entered in the case of Richard Fioken, wbo
was nearly a year ago indioted on the charge
of malioiouBly shooting and injuring a boy
named Arthur Currnn. The affair excited a
great amount of indignation at the time on
account of its peculiarly outrageous oharacter.
Fears, however, were expressed that Fioken
would be allowed to esoape the ponalty of
his crime on acoount of his wealth; and ia
order to obtain as firm a hold upon him as
possible, a heavy bail bond was demanded by
the conrt. These fears were fully justified,
for bail was entered by F. L. Williams, the
partner of Ficken, and the criminal as soon
as he obtained his freedom left for Europe,
where he has remained ever since, the proba
bilities of his returning being exceedingly
slim, unless a pardon is obtained, which
will be a bar to further proseoution.
When Ficken did not put in an appear
pearance his bail, to the amount of $12,500,
was declared forfeited, and an execution
against the property of Williams was issued.
Justice demands that this Bum should be
paid, and we hope sinoerely that Distriot
Attorney Sheppard will use his best efforts to
obtain it, and to prove that, although a man
has wealth and qooial position, he cannot
commit with impunity such a crime as that of
which Fioken is guilty. Able counsel has
been employed to stay the execution on the
property of Ficken's partner, and thus far
the efforts have been euocessful. It
is understood also that application has been
made to the ' Governor for the remission of
the penalty, and the publio are interested in
knowing what action his Exoellenoy will take
in the matter. If this money is not paid, it
will be said with truth that Messrs. Ficken
and Williams have been allowed to esoape on
account of their wealth, where poorer men
would have been made to suffer to the full
extent of the law. Ficken's assault on the
boy Curran was a totally unjustifiable
outrage, and it should have secured for him
a term of years in the penitentiary. Ilia bail
money, if - itis exaoted, will praotioally come
out of his own pocket; and as it is the only
punishment that can now be meted out .to
him, it will be a great scandal if it is not col-
eoted to the last dollar. When Fioken's case
originally came into court the Distriot
Attorney displayed a commendable amount
of vigilance and activity, and we hope sin
cerely that he will not permit the forfeiture
of this bail bond to be remitted without a de
termined effort to prevent it.
STAFF HANK IN THE NA V?.
It is expected that the bill prepared by Re
presentative Stevens, ef New Hampshire, de
fining the rank and privileges of the staff
officers of the navy, will come up for consi
deration to-day in the House of Representa
tives, when it should receive the considera
tion it deserves, and be promptly passed.
This bill gives the surgeons, engineers, and
paymasters positive rank, but it does not
give them' military command or any rights
and privileges that will conflict with good
discipline or the efficient workings of the
naval system. It places the staff of the
navy on the same footing exaotly as
the staff of the army, and if it be
comes a law it will put an end to
serious grievances that have caused an infi
nite amount of demoralization in the naval
service. The subject of naval staff rank has
been so thoroughly disoussed of late that
there is no exouse for members of Congress
if they do not understand it in all its bear
ings, and the Stevens bill, that gives the staff
officers all that they can properly demand,
should be allowed to become a law without
further delay. In spite of the representations
of the line offioers, it has been conclusively
demonstrated again and again that the staff
officers have no ambition to usurp the func
tions or these . who are especially entrusted
with military command, and the provisions of
the Stevens bill are such that it will be im
possible for any of the officers who will be
affected by it to overstep their partioular
lines of duly or to assume responsibilities
that do not belong to them. Under
the terms of this bill there can never,
in any contingency, be two captains to a ship;
but the senior line officer, no matter what
his rank may be, will have command just as
at present. The bill, however, will secure
for the staff proper treatment, and protect
them from insult and tyranny, and it will
make it an object for intelligent, educated
gentlemen to enter the medical, engineer,
and pay corps by assuring them that they
will be protected by the law, and that they
will not be at the mercy of the caprioe of
those who have hitherto assumed to repre
sent the navy, and to consider surgeons, pay
masters, and engineers as necessary evils,
who have no rights except such as the line
may choose to grant them. The question of
staff rank is one that Congress will be obliged
to meet some day, and trouble will be saved
if it is finally disposed of now instead of de
laying it until some future time.
OBITUARY.
linroa Halliard.
It la announced that Barou Halliard, a most ac
complished and honorable Frenchman, lately
attached personally to the Imperial Government,
baa met hit death on the Held of battle while de
fending Parla. At the time of the surrender of
Sedan the Baron waa Director of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, and wa especially noted for quali
ties not peculiar to Frenchmen, namely, houejty
and frankness. His truthful qualities, though not
popular, caused him to be engaged la various mis
sions of ve Oovemment where 6uch qualities were
necessary. In U6 he went to Mexico by order of
the Emperor, to acquaint Maximilian with the deter
mination of Napoleon to withdraw the auxiliary
army of Marshal Bazaine. In 1S67 he waa sent to
Rome to give notice of the removal of the French
force from Italy. Both of these troublesome mis
sions were satisfactorily conducted. After the fall
of the Government he remained In Paris. lie led
his batalllon, the 1st of the Mobiles of the Seine, on
the id of December to the attack of Eptnay, near at,
Denis. Here he was wounded ia the right arm, but
kept his horse until a second ball disabled hU left
arm. As he waa being lifted from tne saaaie a itura
iali struck h!w iu the groin, and while being car
Mcd to the rear a fourth ball struck Mm In the left
side of the neck, com log out near th opposite shoul
der, proving that he waa a conspicuous mark for the
enemy's bullets. He lingered for several days la
great agony, and died In an ambulance at the omoe
of Foreign Affairs. Do was a member of the Jockey
Club, and was counted the beat sportsman' and
horseman In Europe.

CIFIC Railroad From the special report on the
route of the Northern Faciflo Railroad by W. Mll
nor Roberts, Esq., Civil Engineer, we take the fol
lowing: 1 referring to Pogct Sound, in a general way.
the mind naturally embraces the entire expanse of
waters of which, technically, Puget Sound, the ex
treme southern portion, constitutes but a small
part. The Unit of Georgia, and the 8 fait or Joan
de Futa, are the two grand Inlets from the ocean ;
each being about ten milt a wide In their narrowest
parts, and generally much wider. The Strait of
Juan de Fuca must always be the main commercial
avenue from the sea to the extensive region sur
round'Dg the vast Interior salt water navigation
which permeates that portion of United Stales ter
ritory lying between latitude 47 deg. and 49 deg.,
and between loi.gitude 123 deg. and li4 deg. The
coast line of all these inland seas covers a distance
of 1800 miles, surrounded on the eastern side by
magnificent forests of pine, fir, cedar, etc, sur
passing any forests elsewhere to be found
on the globe, In the quantity and quality or the tim
ber. Numerous settlements already exist at differ
ent points, generally where saw-mills could be con
veniently located, adjacent to the valuable timber
tracts, and with their piers so arranged that the
largest ocean ships can lie there In perfect safety
at all times, and receive their cargoes of lumber di
rectly from the mills. The facilities for the greatest
lumber trade the world has ever known are here;
and before the North Paoiilo Railroad can be com
pleted, the product or the mills around Puget
Sound will unquestionably exceed -a million
or reet per day, or three hundred millions per
annum. With the settlements on these shores,whlch
will accompany and follow the construction or this
railroad, and with the interior demand that It will
create along the line or theroadltseir.lt Is safe to
olalm that on these Inland seas will spring up, almost
like magic, a trade which will establish this as tne
world's chief lumber mart. There Is not anywhere
else on the globe to be found an unoccupied field
for the establishment and permanent support of a
new great city, such as should form the terminus of
a continental railroad, uniting the waters or the
I'aclfio and Atlantic by the shortest line between
the great Puget Sound Indentation or the- coat in
the west, and the Lake Superior Indentation or the
roast on the east Between these extreme points
the distance by a direct line Is only ab nit 1350
miles; being thirty degrees or longitude of forty-five
mlli-s to each degree, between the latitude of 46 deg.
and 43 deg."
