He declared ‘Hinself opposed to the proposed Constitutiong! Convention, and to the creation of a Boargof Pardons, Me con- cluded his address: b% gracefully referring to the public services Bnd private virtues of the Inte Gov, Willidius. In referring to the Inying of the forner-stone of the new State-House Jt fall, he referred to tho slanificant omfs}ion of all reference to the part that Indland @layed in the Inte War by Mr, Hendricks, wh} delivered the oration, and recommended thing, as no docnments re- ferring to patriotic sogvices of thesa soldiers vere placed in tho!corner-stone, they be placed In a stone in sofia other portion of the building, , Mr. Hendrjcks is not Ikely to for- get the scathing oxposure of jis Copperhend proclivities at the, hands of Indiana's Repub- ican Governor. ff ‘Tine Irtah Liberal nlombers, of whom there arethirteen in all, clnh taf them representing Ulster constituencles, and anumber of En- glish Radical emt rs, Inciting Prof. ‘Thorold Rogers, ‘Asliton W.

Later an understanding was arrived at with Mr. Gladstone by which he consented to reculve a deputation of these members and.some.of the antl-Parnellite Home-Rulers that they intght state to him their views on the vexed question. It Is evi- dent that Mr, Gladstone must introduce a radical measure in order to obtain the sup- port of tho Radicals and Home-Rulers, ' Antone the raft of bills introduced In the House yesterday wero one by Carpenter, of Iowa, providing for 8-60 per cent increase of the duty on flaxseed and Musced; one by the aniue member providing for submitting a cotistitutionn! amendinent to the people providing . that. allS ofllcers of the United States except Juilges’ of the Supreme and Inferlor/Courts’: and tho heads of Departments should “hold. oftice. for four years, and further providing for. tho election of Pustmasters..and other officers whose duties are gonfined to a particular State, by ponular..yotu; one by Geddes, pro- | viding for the .csi alunanrt-ofa 3u Court, in order torelfeve.the Supreme our 0 bill by Douster,. of Wisconsin, to regulate Inter-State commerce; and one by Monoy, régnilating the Issue of money orders and the fees to be charged therefor. ees For some time: past public curiosity has’ been exclted with reference to a forthcoming article by Gen. Grant, to appear ina leading inngazine, on the subject of interoceantc canals, and more particularly the Ni¢nragua Canal, In which he Ss known to be Interested. Tue Trumune this morning takes pleasurein laying before its renders the {ull text of tho ar- ticle In question, which has been telegraphed from New York especially and nlonu to this paper. .Gen, Grant’s views’ regarding tho canal question, end incidentally the applica- tlon of tho Monrue doctrine in conncetion: with the subject of the construction and con- trol of @ canal across the Isthmus by a foreign Government, will command world." wide attention, Ho has evidently given the matter much thought, and, as {s his custom, he tells what he thinks in a way that admits of no doubt as to his meaning, —— Our usually well-informed Cloveland cor- respondent says that Secretary Sherman's walkover for the Olilo Senatorshlp is the re- ault of an undorstanding between tho Secre- tary and Gov. Foster. Sherman, our cor- respondent {fy informed, will, as the re- sult of this understanding, be lected to the. Sunate ‘to prove. that he has not ‘lost easta or — popularity In his own Stato as tho result of his defeat in the Chicago Convention, But Mr. Sherman will hardly. tuke his seat {n the Senate, It being understood that he will be retained in his present position by President Garfield, Goy, Foster will then succeed to, the Sena- torship, and Speaker Cowgill will become the Republican candidate for thé Governor shilp next fall, — Asoxo tho bills Introduced in the Senate yesterday was one by Bayard providing that the signature on Natlonal-bank notes shall be written, not engraved; also one by the same Senator, providing for the distribution of unclulmed dividends among creditors of baukrupt National banks; ona by Senator Logan, extending the franking privilege to all official business sent through tho mails by Senators and Representatives; ona by Pendioton, to improve -and regulate the Clvil-Service, and one to prevent political ns- sessments on employ¢s of the United States, a tues Senator Logan introduced a bill in tho Senate yesterday vroviding that in recogul- tlon of. the eminent political and military services of Gen. Grant’ he be placed on. the retired list with the rank and full pay uf Ceneral of the Army; also providing that at any future tme-his services may be needed the President tiave authority to assign him to duty according to his rank ag General.

The matter is pretty well under stood by those who are best posted in aifatrs In the State, and I have observed for some day's past, and find that the opinion is grow- ing. It 1s this way: Sherman will be elected to the Senate, first, By this net his friends will feel that he Is vindicated, and he will show to the peopla abrond and to his enemies that he has not lost..his grip on affairs in his. own State, and that he is still going to re main in public lite.

No one unders 4 stands this better than Secretury Sherman's friends, -‘There has’ been a good: deal of lt- erary-bureau work done on this very subject. When the general sentiment of the country settles down, ag it has on Senator Blaine for Secretary of State, there. is no* Prestdent- elect In tho world that would repudiate it. But you have noticed that things do not thus settle down so faras the Secretaryshlp of the ‘[reasury 1s concerned, and tt is not intended “that they shall, There has been a persistent effort made to belittleevery one who has been mentioned In that connection, From ‘the very first it has been urged that na one ever did or aver could do quite so well in the ‘Treasury Department ng Sherman. has done. Morton would not do, because ho {sof New York and would be In a ring with the Wall street brokers, A Far-Western man would not do, because he would be supposed to have some wild West- ern notions on the greenback and silver ques- tions. And so the sigh of regret has con- atantly been drawn under the breath that Sherman could not be retained, No one elso has exactly scemedto fill the bill No one seemed to think that Morton, the banker, would fall to make a good mnan for the Navy Department, or Post-OMlca Department, or anything clsa but the Trenaury. Plenty of men have come up from North, South, East, and West for everybody else’s shoes except those soon to be cast off by John Sherman, THE CHITICIBNS offered against Allison and Wilson are sup- posed to be very serious, and the country 1s all at sea In regard to what todo, Tha peo- pleand the newspapers are engaged Ina Diogenes searely fur a man for the ‘Treasury Department, and the sentimont will bo so molded that, when Garfield at Inst names Sherman for the place, it will scom an actual rellef, and everybody will wonder that tho solution was not urrivod at, suoncr, No ono knows better how to bring about this end than Shorman hiniwelf and hig friends of the Ntorary bureau.” “Butt Js understood thatSherman prefers to go into the Senute, and dows not dealra to remain In tho Treasury.” * “So he Is reported as saying, and so parrot his many satellites everywhere. “But therais uo heart in this, Itis well known that Shor man would prefer to ‘stay where he Is, and any talk to the contrary will scarcely Zo down.
