It will be re- membered that In September, 1878, Al. bert Galletin began a suit in the United States ofrcult court at San Franclsco on- tensibly for the purpose of preventing the Oentral Pacific railway company from paying dividends to Its stockholders, Gallatin waas simply the tocl of the rail- way. He was connected with the firm of Huntington, - Hopklns & Co., and possessed but five shares of Central Pa- cific stock, which were probably given to him for the purpose of en- abling him to biing the suit, the real object of which was to ralse the questlon of the legality of the Thorman sinking fund act. The plan of the Central Pacific was to put up a plaintiff whose lawyer, acting under instractions, was to play Into the bands of the corpo- ratlon and give the case away. It was nothing more nor less than a cunningly devlsed brace-game. According to the programme a demurrer was interposed by the defendant railway corporation in the United States circult court, a judg- ment was renaered, and the case was ap- pealed to the Unlted States supreme cqurt. Part of letter 197 from Colton to Huntington, dated August 9th, 1878, shows that Justice Field was in San pollcy formerly pursued in the state de- partment in never sending to any foreign natlon a representative who la a native of that country. Oarl Scharz, for instance, who was born In Germany, was sent as minlster to Spaln, while he doubtless | P In this instance the Union Paclfic SrcRETARY BAvARD has reversed the preferred to go to his native country. Mr. Barrows, of this clty, was sent as consal to Dablin instead of an Irishman, Hon. Bruno Tazchuck, also of this clty, would have preferred the fconsulship at Hamburg, but he was sent to Vera Cruz. Now, however, Secrotary Bayard does not hesitate to endorse the appolutment of mon as our foreign representatives in their natlve countries. Among the very best of such appointments is that of Mr. Ohsrles Jonas, who has been named by Presldent Cloveland as the consul at Prague, In Bohemla.

He was compelledto be sofrom the circumatances of his position. The entire surface of the cis-Mlssissippl states was covered with trees—primeval forest sarrounded the white span in all direotlons; to plant a pateh of corn or sow & field of wheat he must make a olearing. The forest too, concealed the Indian, and, while it stood in proximity to the settlers cabin, enabled the wlly foe to creep upon him Unawares, Hence an Ameriean colonlst became primarily a hewer-down of thick trees, a man who carrled upon his shoulder the grent Amerloan ax, and kept it sharp.

He came to this country in 1862, and at once took charge of The Slavie, which was then a republican paper. In the Greeley campalga, however, Mr. Jonas joined the democratic party, and has ever jsince continued In that political faith. For elght years he has been a member of the Wisconsin ~ democratic state central committee, and some years ago he served one term In the lower house of the legislature of that state. He was & prominent member of the last ‘Wieconsin senate, and was a colleague of Col. Vilas in that body. During the teies, though unpossessed of improved cutting-tools, were great tree-destroyers. Ancient authors let us know that Asia Minor, Greece, Thrace, Macedonla, Italy and Spaln were once thickly for- ested, and possessed a more fertile soil and molster climate than they now have. Even Northern Afrlca was onca a land of exuberant vegetation. But man needs fields, not forests, to reside in, and in the days of imperfect civilization (ecarcely over yet) he deemed that to cut down a grove was to galn a field, and that to clear away o forest was an act as beneficial as todraina swamp. This clearance con- tinued until vast reglons became deforested, the regular distribu- tlon of the rainfall changed into & capriclous one, too much wet in some dlstricte, too litte In others, and everywhere (where trees were absent) an alternatlon of drought with torrents and floods.

His soldlers, with whom he was a great favorite, car- rled him to the .resr. where he had every attention. Then he was con- veyed to Washington and placed in cne of the hospitals, and, after a long period of soffering, hls wound healed, but his reason had fled. He was officlally de- clared insane and placed In an asylum near Washington, where he remained twenty years in this condition. A fow months sgo hls reason returned, and he Is to-day as sane a man ss lives. He says the past Is a blank, He can scarcely comprehend that he s not the same young man that he was twenty years ago.

Why s it possible for any one ever to lessen an Interest In thelr ideal of party? This {s not written becanse we think that true republlcans must be rallled to the cause; we do not mean that, but that true republicans muat roalize the fight before them.
