This is the record, and thero is no rnbbing it ont or ex- plaining it away. The thrent of Looax and his brigade was that no Republican should be elected exoept him, and they made it good. It is with the most profound regret that we announce the serions and probably fatal iliness of tho Ton. (rsTAE ScnLzicmEr, who representa the Bixth Texas District in the National Houso of Represontatives. Mr, Scureicuzrn was born ot Darmstadt, Ger- many, reccived a liberal university ednco- tion, became n civil engincer, and emigrated 1o Texas in 1847, After taking a prominent part in local politica he was slected to the Forty-fourth Congress, re-elected to the present Congress, and again to the next Congress. Ho has been altogether the ablest man in the Texas delegation, and ono of tho most conservative, intelligent, and usefnl memboers of tho House.

Gov, Currom's message fo tho, Illinois Loginlatare is not a particilarly startling production. Perhaps it wonld bo unreason- ablo to éxpect anything very brillisn{ior.very important in a condition of profonnd peaco snd very satisfactory State finances, He ro- counts at some length the experiences in this Btate incident to the strikes and riots of the summer of 1877, and this part of tho message has nn importance as {mpressing upon tho Leglslature the justico of making a next ballot wonld elect Liawrexcr, in spito of LoaaN's bolters, and the exaitement was in- tenge. But tho eloction of A Republican Son. ator other than Looax was not intendod, nor was it to be permitted, by Looax and his servilo tools, Amid lond cries to call tho roil, Mr, Caxroxrn says * somebody moved to adjourn.” He must know that that **some- body " was Granaxn, of McHenry, one ot Looan's moat conapiouons blowers and strik- ers.

CamrneLn was forced to admit that Lawsesce would have been elected on the next ballot; and at the time tha outrageous adjournnient was declared Lie had very clear convictions as to the motivo and as to who wore the agonta of that treacherous act. 2. During the night that followed the Davis sthome was rapatched: tha two anti- Davis men were hulldozed into his support, and next day, 200 votes being given, ho got the neaded 101, nnd was olected. When the roll was cafled over fifly Ropublicans voted for Iarvzs, one Democrat voted for Law- RrExck, and EastToN, when his name was called, undor s plodge made the day before try shonld flood their ropresentatives with protosta againat the scheme. erary Burean” hes had but littls to eny in reproof of the sin of bolting cancns nomi- nations.

He says that the peo- ple of the Bouth are nothing if not senti- mental, this charactoriatic growing out of climatic influences; the institution of Slav. ery, which built up grent homestoads; thelr isolated, provincial existence, which affords the means *for the equivocal oulture of the voluptuary, not the sovere training of tho rohools "'y and the traditionary reverance for England and things English. Ha says tho Bouthern lad knows & littlo Latin, less Greok, and a groat doal of English, His repertory embraces 8 maas of criido knowl- edge. Of mathematics ho is almost as ig- norant rs of Greek, and whilo ho bas n storo of polite learning he lacks nccuraocy, *fthe nource and rosonzce of modern thought and action.” e in thus in the materialistio de- bates of a thoroughly materialized gonera. tion an fil match for the cool and wary dis. putant who throws rhotoric to the dogs and pliea the heartless logic of statistics.” This is all true, nnd Mr, WaTTERSON him- salf perhaps is oneof the ablest living illustra: tiona of 1ts truth, In theafter.dinnorglow, his wontiment is lovely, his rhetorio brilliant and aven stately, but his accuracy, ** the sourco and. resource of modern thonght and ac- tion,” is loose and disjointed. When con- fronted by a real emergenoy, for instance, instcad of rising equal to that omergency, nnd suggesting romedles that are accurata and sonsible, he at onoo applics to his imag- ination for relicf, and summons up an idenl army of 100,000 Bluc-Grass warriors, who are to march to the National Capital, for, what particular purpose no ono knows, and are to remain thers without any arrange- monta for paying their board or farnishing them with whisky, If Mr, Warresson had possessed the accurnoy that characterizea the materialized North, he would have mado his analysis of Honthorn sentiment more ‘comprehensive and nearer to the point, Tho Southern naturo is not only sontimental, owingto its excoss of polite loarni.g and ignorance of the hypotenuse and algebralo 2, but it fs so complacently sentimental that 1t is exuborant and constant- ly alopping over. Wo find this characteristio in the Southern speach, editorial, poom, and proae, and quite often iv porsonsl contact. A peoplo addicted to slopplog over are nlways turgid and bombastic, The Bouthron always Las an 1denl pair of boots handy which he wishos the cold-blooded Northerner to displace, Hence, nssociation with thess idenlista i alwaya embarrassing. Thoy have 10 ropose and nouno of that caln content whioh is superinduced by such inatorializa- tions as tables of Aigures, schodulea of tarifts, and elaborato disquisitions on kid gloves, sugar, and silver. It Is altogother probablo that an nversge Northern man, fresh from the pernsal of s table of logarithunas, might unnwares step upon Mr, Warrxssox's toe and forgot to apologize for it. 'This would arouss the exuberance of which wo have spoken, but right hera oomes in the embarrassment, for Mr. Warrxrson would get just as exuberantly mad it this samo Northern man should decline to prolong n symposium to a degres that would involve the loss of his accurscy, though it would only incronso Mr, WaTTzRION'S Sentiment, Agreeing with Mr, WatTxnsox in his stato- mout that the peopla of the South are noth. jog 1t not sentimental, we none the less must deprecats the application of that son. timont. Wo are rendy to admit that they sro poets, dreamets, idyllists, rhapsodists, rhetoriclans, ignorant of the existence of the mechanical equivalent, careless as to the measurement of the cube, and reckloss es to the chomiosl eloments that enter into the con- stitution of the moon's atmosphere; but, be. ing a sentimental race, we cannot comprehend thofr emphatic variations from the habits snd practices of other sentimental races, The idyllio nations have always been peaco- ful and pastoral. They had rather repose ayb tegmine fugi, piping to their flocks, than to fuss, and fret, and fume. Conypon never blustery axd threatons, and raves and fumes, but he passes his time wooing Puriiis with tho mout mellifluous stralos, We are acous- tomed to think of sentimental races aa living like the Arcadians in valleys of contontment, carclens how tho great world beyond tho mountains that environ them wags along, or on goreno heights whoso atmosphero is nover disturbed by the contentions and nolss m the vulgar world below, 'I'he Bouthorn peo. ple,being Idealists and sentimentalists, should be charactorized Ly thesa qualities, but they ave not, 'They carry pistols 1n tholr pockets, bowie-knives in thelr boots, and shot-guns on their shoulders, They ero apt to be pro- fane, They fume and bluster when you approach them with argument, They drink whisky, To pass between them and tho wind is to fnvite the probability of a vpeedy decease, In another part of his article Mr, WarTzasoN says: *‘‘The negro i3 placable and kindly—the fortunate pos- sussor of & wweet, loving, and generous nature,” Csu onme conceive of a greater anomaly than a sentimental race of 1dealists coolly hacking, banging, torturing, and kill. ing theso ‘‘aweet, loving, and generous® people because they want to vote a different tickot from the sentimentalists ? If tho Southern people are sentimoutal in theory, they cortalnly are not fn practice, daty of suppressing the outbrenks of vio. lenco and protecting life and property. A recollection of the service rendered in that emergency ought also to induce the Legisla- tnro to further encournge and develop an cffolont military organization; but whother it bo necessary and advisablo to this end to build a new 8tate arsenal and increaso the exponses of tha Adjutant-General's depart- mont, ar Gov. CuLroa recommends, we aro not prepared to say, and every proposed in- arenso of cxpensos should bo closely mern. tinized. The finances of the State are in the most admirablo shape. 'I'ho dolt is now reduced to 8552,742, and $3567,442 of this moy bo paid off at nny time, leaving only $105,300, which may be paid Jan. 1, 1880, Tho Stato will then bo freo from dobt, and theroaftar tho tax paid by tho Illinois Central Raflrond will defray alarge proportion of the current oxponsos. This circumstance is cited by tho Govornor ns n renson for suggesting that tha Legislature appoint n Commission to inquire into the advisability of changing tho revenuo nyatem o n# to raiso all necossary funds from liconacs, This is n proposition which will probably bo discussed during the presont session. In rather favoring the proposed change, Gov. Curroahas probably overlooked entirely the advantages in the wayof limiting local taxation and indobledness that aro provided by the systom of Htate valuation now in vogne. An abandonment of tho presont sysiom will leave every community froe to make its own valuation, and this will enable the official class to establish o basla for incronsed taxation and debt that is im- possible ao long 0s they aro rostrained by the Blato oqualization. Such a chango as 18 sug- geatod might ultimately cost the people of tho Btate in their local taxes soveral times ns wuch a3 any saving that could be made on the State taxes., It will probably be wisor for tho Legislature to devate ita talents aud anergies to amaonding tho present law for the assessmont and colloction of taxes under the prevailing system, than to fmperil important local jutorests by abandoning the check and limitation which tho systom of Btato equall- zation now provides. : Tt ia doubtful whether the Governor's rec- ommaendation, that the Logislature shall fix 8 per cont ns tho maximum rate of intorest, should be accopted, and we fall to approciate tho force of his roasoning which classes Ili. nols among the ‘newor " States, nnd henco nrgues in favor of statutory interferonca in this mattoer. We do not know why the law of supply and} demand should not oper- oo a8 fairly in Illinois as in any Enstern Stats, oven If tho peopla of Illinols look Inrgely to outsida sources for barrowing monoy. Itis a contradiction of terms to claim tho advisability of fixing an arbitrary limit to rates of interest and then proceed, ns Gov, Currox does, to establish that arbitrary rate upon tho evidences of supply and demnand, and the ratos that have provailed, during the past fow yeara, Tho maximum atatutory rate is now 10 per cent, but it would have been in better keeplug with the ndvanced idoas of trade to rocom- mend that the rates should be established in all cnges by contract than to recommend a change in the arbitrary fignro fixed by statute, If tho oporatiou of the law of sup- ply and demand has yeduced tho rates of in- terost during the past few years, that law can be moro safoly trusted than any statutory provision to rogulate these rates on terms of equity in the futuro, Gov. Qurrou is ontitled to credit for tho oxerciso of eaution in his use of the pardon. ing power, aud announces that the rule he hns ostablished to protect himself fromn mis- representations and deceptions s working well. This rule roquires that notica of the intention to apply for pardon shall be ndver- tised for throo weeks in the county fu which the offense was committed, so that evidence sy bo forthcoming on both sides, and that statements must be procured from the Judge who presided at tho trial, aud the State’s At. torney who prosecuted, beforo an application for pardon will e considered. If Gov, Cut- roat will adliere atricily to theso rules ho will Lronk down ono of the greatest abuses that liavo bitherto attached to the Lxecutive of- fico and coutributo lurgely to the proper pun. ishment of the criminal clasgen, "I'he romsining portions of the message coucern the vorious Blate Boands, instita-. tions, charities, ete., and are of general in. terest to tho public only in the sum of ap. propristions asked for their malutenance. ‘These figure up for the next iwo years §3,627,000 for general Btato purposes, char.

The statemont that RipoLe and Easton had not voted for Loaax at all 1s so notorious- ly false that wa cannot believe Mr. OaxpaELY made it. 'The rocord shows that on the first ballot Rippre voted for Looan, and Easton for Larnnor; Rmopr: voted for Wasnnunse on tho rocond ballot, and Easrox for Latrror; on tho third ballot RmnLz votod for Loaax, and Eastox for WasnpurNe; on tho fourth and every succeeding ballot, to and including the twenty-oighth, both Rrn. ple and Eastox voted for LoaaN.

O. (hLoven is the sccond witness. Heo made atatementa: (1) That the defont of Looax and Lawnexcs was duo “to the nc- tiou of Ripvre: and Eastow. 1ind those two mon, ho ia made to say, givon their support to cither Loaax or LawnrNog, cither of tho two could have Leon elected.” (2) T'hat evon without them Judge Lawnexce would have been elocted on another ballot but for ¢ the orroneous ruling of the Speaker on the voto for tho adjonrmmnent. Hnd the body not then beon ndjourned, judging from tho ar. rangements which kad beon mnde, it fs my opinion that Lawnexce would certainly have been olocted.” 1. Wo bavo alreudy givon the recorded votes of Rippre and EastoN for Looan so long ns he was a candidate, and for Law. nENck after ho becamo the candidate, which oxplodes GLoves's momory on that point. 2, Mr. Grover gives his case awny when ho admits that tho fraudulent adjonrument of tho sessfon defeatod Judge Lawnrwce.

Nothing more strikingly illustratos the vorsatility of the American mind than the smdden determination of Senator 'Tnunstan to beeome n humorist. Ho had not long to walt for an opportunity to sssume his new role. Tho 8th of January, the aunivorsary of tho battle of Now Orleans, nlways fires the heart of tha Jacksonian Democrat. The fates conspiring to promoto Tnunxax’s dosire, put it into the hends of tho three hundred Young Democrata of Columbus, 0., to invite him to banquet with tbom in honor of the mem- ory of the hero of Now Orleans, Upon ro- ceiving the lotter of invitation Mr. TnunMaN's eyes twinkled with a new light; ho drew forth his cherished bandanna, blew several trumpet-toned blasts on hiy venerablo noso, oud oven tweaked it viciously in rovenge for its falge political scent of last November, and resolved to indite a humor, ous latter on tho subject of Jacksonian De- mooracy. Nota the rare humor of his points. He snys that in the timo of Jacxson the Domooracy were *‘sminontly, if not pre-omi- nently, dovoted to the Union of tho United Btates.” Think of Thurman ralsing the question, by implication, whether tho De. wocracy were “ emineutly or pre.eminently dovoted to tho Usion"! This thrust is worthy of Nasey.,. He proceeds: **Bubso. quont ovents chilled, nnd at length for a timo suspendod, it in tho South,” This is a fino hit. Tho usa of tho word * chilled ” to rop- rosent all tho Democrata ot the Bonth in solid battle array fighting to destroy the Union is one of tho strongest illusirations of that grotesquo style of humor in which the Awerican peoplo eminontly delight that we recolloct ovor to have witnessed. Ho goes ou: ‘‘But tho happicst circumstanco of our present condition (thanke to the influonce of Democratic principles) in that tho love of tho Union Is everywhoro restored, nnd that ita preservation isa fixed principlo of the Democratio party in the South.” This is traly admirable, especially the inclusion in brackets of the words, ‘¢ thanks to the influ. once of Democratio . principles,” implying that this portion of tho sontenco is entirely unuccessary to the sonao of the paragraph, The old rogue ix awfully satirical, and the concluding branch of the paragraph is al. 1most too broad for really fine humor, Tho iden, clearly conveyed, that the Democratio party in the Svuth is animated by a devotion to the Union suporior to that of the Demo- cratlo party in the North, bocauss it kills more “uiggers” and exhibita more skill in stufling ballot-boxes, borders too closoly on tho burlesque to bo thoroughly effective.
