SIXTEENTH YEAR. SHERMAN AT SPRINGFIELD, The Ohio Senator's Vigorons Address Be- fore the Illinois Legislature, POLITICAL ISSUES PRESENTED. The Policy of the Administration De- nounced in Unmeasured Ter A Strong Comparison Betw the Two Great Parties, Senator Sherman's Speech, Semixarieny, 1L, June 1L—The bad weather of to-day seriously interfered with the Sherman reception. About 12 o'clock rain set in, which continued at intervals, making it necessary to abandon the outdoor demonstration. Elaborate preparations had been made inthe way of a platform and seats in front of the state house, During a Iull of the storm about 5,000 persons occupied seats, but were driven to representative hall by the rain, The committee therefore de- termined to remove the demonstration to the shelter of the state house and the crowd surged and pressed for entrance to the as- sembly chamber. [n a short time 2,000 peo- ple had erowded Into the small galleries and about 1,500 to the floor of the house. As Senator Sherman, accompanied by Governor 0:lesby, Senators Cullom and Farwell, state officers and members of the manag- ing committee, entered the hall, there was loud and continued applause. In introducing Senator Sherman, Governor Oglesby said that all present were aware that not one-fifth of those who had visited the state capital to hear the distinguished visitor had been able to gain admission, Senator Sherman had occupied a most prom- inent place in the history of the country for more than a third of a century, 1o was one of those who assisted in the organization of the republican party, and was one of the helpers to Abraham Lincoln in the early ef- forts of the people to organize that party. He was, as all know, perfectly familiar with the history of the country, and had helped to snape the foundation of the republic, and had been one of its chiei statesmen during the last one-third of a éentury Sherman then began his address as fol- Wws: Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen : 15 with unaflected diffiidence that [ aceep the invitation of oflicers and members of the legislature ot Lllinois to speak to you here on the political 1ssucs of the day, for [ know that they have been presented to you by many eminent statesmen and orators of vour state in a far more attractive manner than I could hope to copy. Still, I regard this invi- tation as a call ot public duty, and I hope to cateh some of the inspiration that springs from this fountain of polttical intelligence. And now that [ have scen your city, have met you here, and have been received So cor- dially, I do uot regret my coming. What you desire of me, 1 presume, is a statement of my views of the principles an. tendencios of the two ercat political partie of the country, for they must be tested by these and not by independent opinions or partial_differen which always exist, ‘These principles are the natural outerowth of the contest over the institution of slavery that has continued since the commencement of the government, but it was not until the reveal of the Missouri compromise, and the great debata that occurred in Illinols between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, that the philosophy of slavery was fully pre- sented boefore popular audiences, It was this debate that led to the nomination of Mr. Lincoln and made him the first republican president of the United States. ‘Then also was shown the destructive ten- dencies of the institution of slavery and its mastery over the democratic party. ~ Because Mr. Douglas would not agree to its extreme demand it broke up the Charleston conven- tion and destroyed his last hope of success. When Lincoln was elected it tired upon Fort Sumter and commencel the war that cov- ered our land with heroic dead and left amongus hundreds of thousands ot maimed, wounded and invalid soldiers and the wid- ows of those who perished. But, thank God, in this struggle slavery committed swiclde, and the good time which Lincoln hoped would come fn the far future, came b{ the attempt at secession, and it ‘was his hand that wrote the decreo of eternal justice that abolished slavery forever, It was the republican party that guided the ship of state through the perils and storms of civil war. It marshalled armies, built navies, improviseda currency which to this day is the best ever devised in peace or war. It porrowed Immense sums of money, and yet laid the foundation of a public 'credit "hizher in the markets of the world than that of any nation in our own or in ancient times, It also established a pub- lic policy of ~taxation, which, improved since the war, has filled our treasury to over- flowing with revenue, and yet has so encour- aged, developed, fostered and protected our Industries, that we can dig from our mines, make in_our own workshops and raise on our own farmsali tho raw products of nat- ure, and every article of necessity, conven- fence or luxury esseutial to the highest civil- zation, What did the demoeratic party do during these trying times? ‘That many thousana democrats did their full share in maintaining the government, both in the field and in the ublie councils, must be coneeded by every air minded man and the highest credit must be givon to them for their patriotism, courage and devotion to duty. Chief of these at lfw beginning of the contest was Stephen A. Douglas, No man doubts thatif he had lived he would have stood at the right hand of Lincoln in the senate, and in the field,would have maintained the honor of the 'hf and the integrity of the Union, and, like Lincoln d Grant, would never have yielded until the last rebel had laid down his aris in un- conditional surrender. s speech made in house here, on the 25th day of April, 1861, atter Mr. Lincoln's first call for troops, Is tull of passages of the most carnest patriotism. Referring to the democ states, Sherman sald: There was not an igent man in the land who does not know that Cleveland is president by virtue of erimes against the electoral franchise, cluding murder, arson, bailot-box stufting, orgery, anid perjury, and but for which laine would now be in his place. Senator Bherman detounced the president's veto of the river and harbor bill, and the deniocratic financial policy. Speaking ot the tariff, Sher- man said the revenues must be reduced, but opposed the reduction of duties on articles that wo ourselves produce, thus bringing our skilled artisans in competition with foreign Iabor that will inevitably reduce tue price of domestic labor, Sherman closed his speech as follows: If 1 have correctly stated the aims and tenden- cies of she two parties, the republican ty 1s the only one litted to carry on ihe governe ment. Our adversaries may brood over the dead past and mourn the decay of coufede ate ideas; but republicans hall with un- bounded ~ satisfaction every advance of our country In strength and power at home and abroad, conscious that this is consistent with the tull powers ot the state, county and local sovereignty, reaching to every family and homestead” hir the land. We brood over no lost cause, but look for- ward hopefully to reap for future genera- tions the great benetits conferred by the sac- ritices and services of our patriot soldiers in tho preservation of the union and the abolis tion of slavery. it is sad that the republican party had been long in power.

Colo,, June 1.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.|—Louis Boyd, a son of the manager ot Boyd's opera house in Omaha, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Hollings- worth on Monday on a charge of larceny and fa pretenses. He has formerly been o clerk in one of the oflices of the Denver & Rio Grande railrond company, but was recently discharged. Being out of work and money, too, it seems that young Boyd occupied himself by getting into the good graces of a young man named John Coffman, who lives at the Windsor. is said that Boyd induced Coffman to lend him a diamond ring worth $60, whicn he, Boyd, soon pawned at Joe Solomon’s shop. This done, itis claimed that young Boyd began hanging about the Metropolitan hotel, where he made the acquaintance of John Steward, a stranger who was stopping there. It is claimed that Boyd represented to Steward that he was expecting money from home next morning, and so induced Steward to lend him a s of money of which the latter has never heard anything sinee. Mr. Steward tinally becamo_alarmed. as did young Coffman, the owner of the ring, and the fears of Boyd's two new-made friends soon resulted n the arrestof the young man. Boyd was arrested in Leichsenring's pool room. He was just about to leave for Lineoln, Neb., and “was evidently greatly prised at the approach of the officer, Mr. er MeCourt, manager of the Tabor opera house, went his bond on Monday, after tele- wiaphing young Boyd's father for aid. Fail- ing, howevyer, to receive any reply from Mr. Boyd, Mr. McCourt declined to enact turther the role of bondsman, so that yesterday the young man had to go to jail. Up to to-night nothing had been heard trom young Boyd's parent in Omaha, e e~ HUSTLED TO HADES. Commendable Energy Displayed by Indiana Vigilantes. LouIsvILLE, June 1--News has just been received from Eckarty, Ind.,, that Sunday morning Charles and Roy Davis called at the farm of John Fannegan, and after inducing two of his sons to go to another part of the farm, they forcibly carried the twelve-year- old daughter of Fannegan to the woods, tied her to a tree and outraged her. Next morn- ing the little girl was found by some neigh- bors still gagged and bound. She Was almost delirions from her sufferings.

NEW Yonrk, June L.—The Oregon Trans- continental company began suit in the Unitea States eircuit court to-day against the Northern Pacific railroad company to en- join the directors and president of the de- fendant company from issuing any bonds to build a new road called the Oregon & Wash- ington Territory railroad company, from W allula to Pendleton. The plaintiif alleges that they own the largest amount of stock of the railroad company owned by any one per- son. Plaintitf claims that the Northern Pa- citic has attempted to build the new road for the Rurpose of plunging the stockholders into debt, and that the court should not per- mit any such scheme to be carried out. 'The cost of tee new road would be about eight hundred thousand dollars, ditidhnt Affairs in Manitoba. MINNEAPOLIS, June L.—A special from Winnipeg to the Evening Journal says Pre- mier Morquay yesterday assuved a deputation which called on him that the railrond to the boundary would be built without delay and the first sod would be turned in about three weeks. The success of the necessary loan is assured. Scarth, who represents Winnipeg in the Dominlon parliament, remained silent during the recent debate on the monopuly question, This incensed his sunporters who met this afternoon to demand his immediate resignation, ‘The lieutenant governor came down to the legislature this afternoon and gave the royal assent to the Red River Valley railroad bill. Premier Norquay says the work on the road will begin almost at'once. It will be called the Victoria railway. PeoRia, IiL, June L.—Judge Shaw dehiv- ered the charge to the jury in the Hoke e to-day.

June L—[Special ‘Tele- ~The commissioner of issued the following cir- gram to the Br agriculture to-da cull 'I'o the managers of all railroads and trans- portation companies in the United States:—Your attention is called to the fact that contagious pleuro-pneumonia exists among cattle in the states of 11linois, Maryland and New York and that the infected districts in said states have been duly quarantined by the depart- ment of agriculture in the manner provided by the act of March 20, 1584, eulx\lvli’l‘\hg the bureau of animal industry. Theexistence ot this contageous disease ‘in such Important cattle centers as these states 1s a danger so menacing to the cattle interests of the United States that it calls for the most prompt, thorough and energetic measures that can be taken, not only by the national overnment, but also” by all parties nterested in the great cattle Indu of the country. No persons or cl of persons are more interested in the safety and growth of this industry than the trans- portation companies, who derive a very large proportion of their revenue from the ship- ment of cattle and their products, and none should be more active and energetic in en- forcing such measures as are necessary to stamp out this disease and prevent its possi- ble spread. The insiduous character of this disease, its easy and imperceptible propoga- tion by contact with animals having the germs of disease and giving no outward symptoms of its presence, the contraction of the plague from infected cars, the spreading ot the germs by means of nanure carried in unclean cars from place to place, all make it a matter of grave concern and render it necessary that stringent measures should be adopted to protect the cattle interests of the country from this g evil, Lhave,therefore to suggest and request that all transporta- tion companies shall establish on their re- spective lines a rule, and see that it is rigidly enforced, that all s that have carried live stock shall be thoroughly cleansed on the discharge of their freight, and not allowed to leave the treight or stock yards before this is done; also that the said” cars shall be care- fully disinfected in the following manner: 1. Kemove all litter and manure. 2. Wash the car with water thoroughly and until clean. 3. Saturate the walls and floors with a solution made by dissolving four ounces of chloride of ‘lime to each gallon of water. Stock yards and pens should be ansed and i ected at le: once u week. Transportation companies having connection with infected districts should require parties offering cat- tle for shinment to present at the point of loading aftidavits of the owner and two dis- interested pesons, stating that the cattle to be shipped have been known to afflant for at least six months next preceding, and that sald cattle haye not been in dis- tricts and have not come in contact with any cattle from said districts. Said aflidavits should be attached to and aceompanying the way bill to point ot destination. several very extensive outbreaks of pleuro-pneu- monia have recently been traced to cattle that had been shipped from infected aistricts a considerable cistance by rail, the necessity of these precautions can- not'be overestimated, and if enforced they would be a material safezuard against the spread of this disease. Kailroad companies can be of the greatest assistance to the bureau of animal industry in its work of extirpating pleurg-pneumonia, if they will co-operate with itand assist in maintaining the rules and regulations prescribed by me on April 15,1857, and the quarantine orders since made.

Workmen were engaged also in taking down the big mess house. ‘T'he monument began to look lonely again, as only & few tents remained.

These officers, however, will remove their headquarters %o the guard house, which is still standing, Captain C.

Drs MoiNes, la, June L—|Special l'ele- gram to the Be ~A few days ago a mar- riage license was issued to W. H. Waltz and Bessie Wearmouth by County Clerk Wilkin- son. The young people reside near Mitchell- ville and thus far have had a hard row to hoe. William tormerly worked for Bessie's father, a wealthy farmer. During the sum- mer Bessie ana he became enamored of each other, and, despite the fact that William was only getting 20 per month, decided to get married. By some mweans pater familia discovered their secret and a terrible scene followed, the outcome ot which was Will- fam’s discharge and Bessie bathed in tears. But the young folks were undaunted by any such tritle as papa’s snger and opposition and set about to accomplish their cherished object. William was under age and could not procure a license, 50, 1t is stated, he took the family bible and changed the record skiltully to make 1t appear that he was of age. He then entered into an argument with his mother concerning the date of his birth and finally brought up the bible as his authority, getting the gooy old lady so con- fused that she was unable .o fix the aate her- solf. Hethen made an appointinent with Bessie and thetwo left town, going to the county clerk’s office, taking the bible with them to prove William’s age. But the clerk was unwilling to take it as evidence, and as William was unwilling to Yn‘riuw h the license was refused and the much al pair sadly departed. He left Bessie at the houseof a triend near Altoona and returnad to Mitchelville. In some manner parents heard of her whereabouts and made arrangements to bring her_home, Knowing that the would-be hisband had no money the father was not careful about telling of his destination and it got William’s ~ ears, Papa boarded traiu for Altoona, while the sly William ensconsed himselt in a box car.
