Oca Legislature only cosU about three thousand dollars per day, but the people would not eare so much for the expense, if they could only get an opportunity to scatter flowers upon its grave. The President has been petitioned by a Democratic newspaper editor in Mississippi, to pardon Jeff Davis. The old rebel is too stiff-necked to ask for himself, and we suppose wants forgiveness tendered to him. Democratic editors are constant ly reminding us that the war is over. President Cleveland evidently docs not think so, as he is busily engag ed in hunting up old rebel officers and furnishing them with new com missions. That old Democratic mossback, Eben Pillsbury, of Maine, whose greatest political achievement was an attempt to steal the government of that State in 1879, has been ap pointed an Internal Revenue Col lector by President Cleveland, There being no rascals to turn out, some of our Democratic con temporar""S are trying the cry-baby dodge on Republican officials, and whining "you ought to be man enough to resign;" and "it is a mean fellow who stays where he is not wanted." Ckmbal Lawton, who was ap pointed Minister to Russia, and who, it was discovered, has never been relieved from the disabilities incurred as a rebel, has discreetly concluded not to run the gauntlet of the Senate, and therefore declines with thanks. Ac. The Deputy Attorney General has decided, it is said, that the study of physiology and hygiene must begin in all the public schools at the beginning of the next term, al though the teachers are not obliged to stand an examination in that branch until next year. General Grant was C3 years old on Monday last (27th). The coun try will be glad to learn that he is gradually growing stronger in body, and that his health is daily improv ing. He was able to take a short walk, and a brief drive in his car riage each day of last week. Teachers who conceive their highest duty to be the "cramming" of their pupils, can now devote the next four months to "cramming" themselves with physiology and hy giene, preparatory to the commence ment of the fall term, when they must begin teaching thesestudies. We are having considerable weath er ia this country now-a-days. On Thursday last, while the inhabitants of the Green Mountains were sweat ing tinder a temperature of ninety, the good people of Colorado were wading through twenty inches of tnow.

This will relieve the Presidentfrom the charge f making removals without cause, and give him the excuse needed for bouncing efficient officeholders, who , have faithfully performed their du-( ties. I The Senate on Thursday laet passed the Marriage License bill, and W6 hope the House, notwith standing its arduous duties, wil find time to concur in this much needed amendment to our loose morphine, and after 1 o'clock he . , .. . . I slept at intervals. The sore at the marriage laws. The bill makes a;bJl0fthe toneue ameared angry license from the Clerk of the Or phans Court a necessary preliminary to marriage. The license fee is fix ed at fifty cents. The clerk is re quired, before issuing it, to put the parties on their oath as to - there being no lawful impediment to their marriage, and if either of them is under aee. the consent of the parents, either personally or in writing, executed with all the for mality of a deed, must be furnished the clerk. The object of these pre cautions is intended to prevent the marriage of parties having a hus band or wife living, and especially to nrevent the secret marriage of minors without the consent of their parents. A marriage without a li cense is not inyalid, but the minis ter or justice performing it, or the attesting witnesses are liable to a fine of $1000. The license will al so be a protection to ministers, who are now liable to be imposed on by minors, and, under the present law, are not only subject to blame, but to suit and penalty for marrying them. A law of this kind is much needed, and should pass the House before it adjourns. The campaign of last year was based by the Democrats on the lie that tne Republican administration of affairs was dishonest, corrupt, and inefficient, and "turn the rascals out" was shouted from one end of the country to the other. The monstros ity of the falsehood is now apparent to the most thoughtless observer. And instead of turning the rascals out for good and sufficient cause, the administration is reduced to the ne cessity of requesting honest and competent officials to resigu, or to hunting up charges of partisanship against them. We have no objection to the victors enjoying the spoils,but it is clearly evident to the country now, that they were obtained by false and fraudulent representations. With t je books in their hands for al most two months, and expert ac countants scanning them with mi croscopic eyes, the new Administra tion has been unable to find either fraud, negligence or loss. Could there be a better or more ample compliment paid to the skill, faith fulness and honesty of the Republi can party , and its quarter of a cen tury of administration of public af fairs? Moreover, no improvement has begun, no better manner of con ducting public affairs has been sug gested. In all essential particulars Republican methods and measures continue to be pursued, the sole change being in the removal of tried and efficient officials and the substi tution of Confederate Brigadiers for Union soldiers. Had ever a party more just cause for satisfaction and pride than has the Republican party in this involuntary trib ute to its efficiency and integrity, from its successful adversary. It will cost the State about half a million dollars to defray the expen ses of the Legislature now iu ses sion. At least one-half this enor mous sum could have been saved the people, if their representatives had given even half a day's work for a full day's pay. How not to do it, has become a fine art at Har risburg. Legislators do not devote one-half their time to their duties, and when they are in session, the brief hours of ostensible work are frittered away with buncombe speeches and personal wrangle. No sessions are neid on Mondays or Saturdays, and it is the merest sub terfuge to call the meetiags on Mon day evenings and Friday mornings, business sessions. Five or six hours three days of each week, is what passes current for a week's work. Meanwhile, the pay at ten dollars per day, goes on with the certainty of fate. What farmer, or mechanic or other employer of labor would for a moment think of paying full daily wages to a hired hand, who worked for him but three days out of the seven? And what are these "legislators" but hired hands of the people? Do prudent business men hire loafers, who do not even make pretense to render an equivalent for their pay ? On Friday last, even the miserable pretext of a session was negatived by the fact that a quorum was not present in ths House, and, consequently, it was compelled to adjourn, and waste another day. Custom has appar ently sanctioned this waste of pub lic treasure, under ilu pretext of discharging a public duty, sad metnbera have escaped individual re-1 eponsibility under the plea, that the majority, not tby, were the sin ners: but this thing cannot go on forever, and the day of rockooing will come ere lohg, mid a whirlwind of public indignation. The Repub licans are in a large majority in the Legislature, and consequently are responsible for its follies, iU short' comings, and its waste, and we but perform a duty we owe our party, when we thus publicly arraign it for its misdemeanors. Gentlemen ,qf the Legislature, be warned! Your ttbCKd, with extravagance and waste, idleuaesjind folly blurring its every page, will tand public inspec tion. If yon m able of better things, you have a mooth left in which to prove it. Let yor action" apeak louder than your words. A Kondred Persona Killed. .London, April 2.

A number of plantations have been devastated, and it is feared that ful ly 100 persons have been killed. Georral Grant Bad Throat ' New York, April 25. General Gr nt did not get settled for the night until about 1 o'clock this morn ice. He received five minims of last night.- and restlessness may have been the result. Between C o' dock hmorm th7 V"' Utmost of the rime, d I and 8 tient slept when he arose and his throat was examined there were more favora ble indications than yesterday, When Dr. Douglas left at 8:S0a.m. he said the General had passed a very quiet night, though his sleep was somewhat broken. So far as the phvsical condition of General Grant is concerned, he might with safetv be removed to the mountains or seaside to-morrow, but no exodus will occur until tne 1st of July. That the General wil survive the summer is the belief of those in a position to know. General Grant did not take his us ual carriage ride to-day. He had passed an uncomfortable night and the weather was considered too cold for him to venture out. Dr. Douglas came to the house at 9 d. ni.. accompanied by A. L. Ca- hen, who is agent of a new illumina ting apparatus for surgical and sci entific purposes. The state of the Generals s throat being such that he could not open his mouth wide enough ta admit of the use of the old instrument, the new one was put into operation for the first time in this country. It consists of a dynamo-generator, worked by a crank, a tongue depressor and incandescent lamp in one. A view of the General's throat un der the new light revealed a very discouraging state of affairs. The gums were honeycombed and for some distance down the urula pre sented the appearance of a red, rough surface, covered with mucus. To this is attributed the pain and un easiness which the General has been suffering from for the last few days. Mr. CaLen is of opinion that the doctors have made no mistake in their diagnosis, and that the Gener al's case is a hopeless one. He also stated that in conversation with one of tiie attending physicians he said that the General's was such a critical case that no definite opinion can be given of it Dr. Douglas will stay all night. There is no such thing as a re lapse in a case of cancer, for the di sease progresses sieaanr to its ter mination. There are days when the General feels well and when the di seased part has a better appearance ; but there is nothing to hope lor in the General's case. He may live for a few months, or a few days may end his life. "As to the manner of his death," continued the speaker, "he will die of suffocation. There will suddenly come a welling of the blood in his throat caused by the rupture of a blood vessel, and all will be over. The General's case is a hopeless one." Unprecedented Flood In Kansas. St. Louis, April 21. Dispatches from Southeastern Kansas report the heaviest rainfall since Tuesday that has ever been known in that part of the State. Over twelve inch es of water is said to have fallen. All the level country is submerged and is a vast sheet of water. Traffic on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad for many miles each way from Parsons is suspended, and a passenger train which left Parsons yesterday on the Fort Scott and Gulf road was wrecked not far from town. A large number of hogs and cattle in the stockyards on the Labette river, one mile from Parsons, were drowned, and it is said hundreds, perhaps thousands, of animals have been drowned in the surrounding country. The streams rose so rap idly and the water poured down in such torrents that little, if anything could be done in the way of rescuing live stock or securing other kinds of property. Fields are devastated in all directions and great destruction of crops and movable property has occurred. ' A negrof g settlemnt, near Parsons, was inundated and many of the peo ple were rescued only after great dif ficult and hard labor with impro vised boats and other meaus. The Marmaton river, which runs near Fort Scott, overflowed its banks with a rush and submerged a settlement of from six to eight hundred popula tion, known as North Fort Scott, the water standing in many of the hous es from three to five feet deep. All the people were rescued, however. The M issouri Pacific Railroad track is badly washed out both ways from Fort Scott and no trains have mov ed since Tuesday. A freight train on the Wichita road went through a bridge at Clear Water, and Frank McDaniels, the engineer, was drowned. The fire man and brakeman went down with the train, but they caught in a tree and were rescued. Great damage was done at Kingman to business property in the town and 10 lives are supposed lost. A Fatal Waterspout. Kingman, Kas., April 21. A dis astrous flood occurred this morning in the jS'innescah river, which is sup posed to have been the result of a waterspout. About ;9 o'clock the river bean to rise at a tremendous rate. But little attention was paid to if. as the preceding nisrht had been jone of heavy rains. The river rose ve feet in 30 minutes and in a lit- Us tiu; 7as out of the banks, but still the peopiejid not feel any par ticular danger, thinking the waters could not rise much more; but on it came, and soon small outbuild tegs and sheds began to move, and a lin t instantly the whole of South Main street was under a rush of water, which tore houses from their foundations and sent then; drifting across the street and on their way down the wild and turbulent rivre with families still in them scream ing for help. The flood soon reached the floor of the bridge, which caused the wa ter to pour into the Riverside Hotel. The inmates fled across to the north side. Fifteen dwellings were swept into Uie current with men women and children in them and at the mercy of the waters. The number drowned is unknown, though four women and one man are known to have been drowned, besides certain ly awcral children. At three p. m. the water lean to receded, and a Kitet lSitota iS i ikL'ifr-t,5eei,:ur tmog' -ad the bodies of the dead.

A Mritrrloui Explosion Yesterday Morning That Cus 1 a Sensation In the English Capital. London, tng., April zi. An ex plosion occurred about 11 o'clock this morning in the basement of the Admiralty Office in Whitehall. Iwo loud reports were heard in quick and the staircase leading . ine was demolished. The iron rail 111 LUC EvU til Tt n wiuti va uunu inn of the staircase was wrenched from its fastenings and windows within fifty yards of the spot where the explosion took place were brok en. The room occupied bw Edward H. Swainson, the Assistant Secreta ry, was mad a complete wreck and Mr Swainson who was at work ia his office at the time, received a se vere scalp wound by being struck with parts of the flying debris and was taken to the hospital suffering from concussion of the brain. Sub sequently he regained conscious uess and gave it as his opinion that some explosive, believed by the detectives and officials to have been dynamite or gun cotton, was thrown into the apartment through a window. The plaster of the ceilings and walls hung in ribbons after the shock of the explosion, and the fittings of the room were smashed to atoms. how the explosion was caused. Mr. Abel, who is identified with the office of the Inspector of Explo sives, states that the explosive used this morning was a large charge of gun cotton. It is believed that some stranger, under pretext of visiting an official, obtained access to the visi tors' waiting room, watching his op portunity, and placed the explosive at Mr. Swainson's room, which is only a few feet distant from the vis itors' room, whence he had time to leave the building unchallenged be fore the lighted fuse reached the ex plosive material. private malice suspected. A strong suspicion prevails in po lice and official circles thi3 evening that the explosion was the result of private malice, as Mr. Swainson was greatlv disliked by a number of per sons, including several employes of the olace. It is certain the internal machine was placed iu a bookcase just over the spot where Swainson's head would be when Sitting at his desk. Detectives are positive that the outrage was the work of an em ploye, as no stranger could pass the janitor without some document showing that he had business with some of the heads of departments. The janitor says no stranger has passed him during the past twenty four hours. Fearful Avatar Spout. Wichita, Kan., April 22, From the Medicine river, which seems to be the same that filled the Xinncs cah to overflowing, the watr rolled down over the low lands east of Med icine Lodge City, five to twelve feet perpendicular in height. Several whole families are Known to be drowned. Yesterday morning par ties who had gone out to give relief found men, women and children clinging to trees, with nothing but their night clothes to protect them, and som without any clothing what ever, but still alive. Their cries could be heard, as early as 4 o'clock in the morning, above the raging waters. Three attempts were made to rescue the parties beyond the riv er, but each boat in turn was swamp ed and the occupants only saved themselves by swimming to the trees. Five bodies had been recover ed op to the hour of the writing of the dispatch, which was sent over to the first railroad point by mail. Another body was in sight, but could not be reached. There were eight movers' wagons camping in the bot tons and one old man has recognized the bodies of three of his family, his wife and two children. James Gebh and his daughter and niece were washed away with their home. A Mrs. Harris and her little girl of 11 years old were found drowned. G. W, Paddock and family, consisting of a wife and four children, are thought to be all drowned. Frank Shinpeler put his wife and children ontheroof and his house went down. He was knocked offby a projecting limb and swam ashore, several miles below, but of the fate of his wife and child nothing was known. Cure for l'lles.

New York, April 26. The follow ing dispatch was received here to day from Panama, via Galveston : All the troops were withdrawn from this city last night The con sequences cannot be foreseen,-but there will be serious trouble on the arrival of the Columbian troops, due here to-night. General Arizpura has proposed to the coma ander ot the United States forces here to withdraw his truopd to the station of the Panama railroad Company, General Arzipura guaranteeing the safety of that city. General Arzi pura, however well disposed, will not be able to prevent the destruc tion of property and life. Barri cades are being erected in the streets and sand-bag defenses being con structed on the balcony of the bar raks. This shows that the insur gents are determined to fight in town. The native feeling here is strong. It is considered cruel for the United States forces to occupy the town and then withdraw, leav ing the people helpless and the citv in control of the lawless mob. President Scrymser, of the Cen tral and South American Telegraph Company, to-day telegraphed as follows : "Hon. T. F. Bayard. Secretary of State, Washington: All American trooops withdrawn from Panama last night Town in hands of rebels. Streets now bar ricaded. Consequences cannot be foreseen. I have telegraphed as fol lows ta the Superintendent of the company at Panama: 'Demand in writtng from American Consul or Commandant of United Stater forces, protection to our property and men. tVt present the united States has bv I treaty all the rights and obligations- j that Colombia has, and must be held responsible for damage to- American property or for failure to keep open communication.' " Similar dispatches were also sent to Secretary of the Navy Whitney and the manager of the company at Galveston. cause of the trouble. On March 30, the rebels, under the lead of P. Prestan, a lawyer, were driven from Panama, but not before they had set fire to the town, which was burned to ashes, with the fortunate exception of the Pa cific Mail dock and buildings, most of the railroad property, the ships ! m the harbor and a lew residences. As the United States had guaranteed in a treaty, to protect the traffic across the Isthmus, and a9 Ameri can rights bad been violated, the proper steps were taken for the pro tection and defense of American interests. Floods In the Went. Dennisox, Tex., April 2!. A spe cial from Mexia, Tex., says prairie Grove neighborhood, eight miles south of Mexia, was visited about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a se vere cyclone, causing serious results in life aud property. A two story school house, in which were about fifty children, was blown down and torn to pieces, killing one and wounding several other children. Larkin Gentry s house some distance lrom the village, is also reported de molished and himself, wife and chil dren killed. A number, ot other houses were badly damaged and more casualties are expected to be reported, as the count ry through which the storm passed is thickly settled. A family of emigrants encamped on the river bottom was suddenly surrounded by water last night and sought safety in the trees. The were rescued to-day. At (iainsville, the Pecan creek rof e so rapidly that people living along the bunks were unable to escape un til their houses were surrounded by watt r, and many houses were over thrown and washed down the stream Many persons had tikec refuge in trees, and the air was filled with shrieks of women and children. Mothers with babes in their amis remained clinging to limbs of trees for hours until rescued, almost dead When day broke the banks for a great distance were strewn with de bris of all descriptions. The scene on Elm Creek, west of the city, was equally distressing. Several fami lies had been caught by the water and were lodged in trees, in danger of being drowned. Rafts and boats were launched, but were broken to pieces or sunk by the current. In one instance a negro succeeded in getting a woman and her two children into a boat, when it upset and the frantic moth er saw her children sink to rise no more. After i hours' labor the rescuers sui-ord in saving the ma jority of thr rjerrrs. It is impos sible ta esuirate the damage done to property. The water is two fet high er than it was 2- yeare ago, when there was a flood which caused great loss of life and property. All the briiigen in the city were washed away and the eaet portion of the town was entirely cut off from the business section. The rain contin ued all day yesterday and the rivers have risen rapidly. Mra. Garfield s Fort one. The recent report concerning Mrs. Garfield's endowment of the Garfield Hospital, and other gossip about the widow of the martyr President, have created some curiosity about the lady's financial condition. An intimate friend of Mrs. Garfield, re siding in this city, gives the follow ing description of her estate: The subscription raised through the in strumentality of Cyrus W. Field aggregated, when invested in Gov ernment bonds, about Soli.tHK). Gen. Garfield's life was insun.d for 50,000, 'the payment of whic.i the companies, for the sake of the ex tensive advertisement 11 would ive them, if for no other purpose, prone ptly made. Congress alto vot ed her the remnant of the salary which would have been due Gen. Garfield for the first year of services as President which amounted to $40,00(3. The little estate which Garfield left aggregates some $30,000. This was oil he had bee able to ac cumulate after a life of unusual ac tivity. This makes her total estate, in round numbers, about $450,000 in money well invested. From this an income of probably $16,000 is derived. In addition to that she has from Congress an annual pen sion of $5,o;w, which is now voted to the widows of alj ex-Presidents. fwctitjr Inches of Snoip.' UtsvE. Col..

A DRAWS BATTLE. Between Riel'a Rebcla and the Cana dian Volunteer. Clark's Crossing, X. W. T., Apr. 25. Tha Trebel half-breeds and In dians in the fight were estimated at SO0. The engagement lusted all day, and when night came General Middleton' camped to wait till this morning. The Canadian loss is ten killed and fifty wounded. The reb els scarcely missed a shot General Middleton will resume the attack to-day. "A special from Clark's Crossing says? Beyond a doubt it is a fact that the fight of yesterday was a re veree for General Middleton, and that the volunteers were really forc ed to retreat, the rebels seem to have followed the troops to camp and defiantly awaited a renewal of hostilities, which they are likely to receive with more vigor than before. The rebel loss, if any, is said to be very small. The place for the fight was well chosen, giviug the rebels great prestige over our men. The approaching scene is an open prairie, a mile in length, ending in a slight ly inclined hill, running down into the Coube. The bluffs on each sido were well wooded. On the north side of the ravine the rebels were entrenched in force; thence they poured a deadly fire upon the volun teers, while the latter were unable to see the enemies, who were hidden behind trees and rock3 and from places of ambush could pick out their men with the greatest :iccura cy. Even the guns of "A" battery failed to dislodiie the enemy. The rebels are reported to have gone in the direction of Batouche crossing. Troops will have to pass the entire distance through a thickly wooded tract of country. General Middle- ton camped last night on the south side of the ravine midway between Battleford and the river. Latest dispatches indicate that our troops captured ten ponies be longing to rebels, and killed twenty five half-breeds and Indians. Good Prices for Ilolstein Cattle. Troy, O , April 21. Messrs. J.W.
