Charles E. Fuller, of Belvi- iere, is the leader of the Republican tide of the House at Springfield, A lew days ago he was called into the tidiclary committee room and present-d with a well executed life-sized bust Crayon portrait ofNhlmself. Repre­ sentative Calhoun made the remarks, y #nd in concluding said: "And now as • mark of respect for. and confidence In the ability of the Hon. Cbas. E. Ful­ ler, we hereby present to htm this ' faithful life-sized bust portrait of i . himself, and ask him to accept It from * -flie hands of his friends, always ro­ ll , "• toe tube ring that it ia the work of one Who wu onee a slaved Mr. Fuller re- ,' iponded, expressing his thanks in a * 'few well chosen words, after which the fleasant informal gathering adjourned. 1 1 --IiocJtford Gazette. plii The Illinois gcntortlilp, It is time the Senatorial contest in Illinois was ended, Such a result is dependent, however, at thle juncture on the conduct of two Republ'can mem* bers of the legislature. They were chosen by Republican constituencies, and they have the opportunity now to show whether they were well chosen. The sentiment of tho Republican party everywhere, East ard West, is unanimously lu favor of the return of Gen. Logan to the United States Sen­ ate. There is 110 dissenting voice to this proposition. Senator Logan's manly conduct during the presidential campaign wor. for him the esteem of his party, and the sacrifice he made in running ns the vice presidential candi­ date has endeared him to his party as a whole. The party is nationally in­ terested in his return to the Senate, and it would seem that a state so over­ whelmingly Republican as Illinois, will not be properly represented In the Senate If both her Senators are not Republicans--and Ger.eral Logan one of them. As we have said, however, the elec­ tion of den. Logan Is dependent upon two Republican members of the legis­ lature, Messrs. McMillan and Sit tig. They cannot longer vote against Oen. Logan upon the supposition or pre­ sumption that lie is not the choice of every cllq ue and faction of the party. The p*rty universally demand h's elec­ tion, and is becoming intolerant of the delay in electing him. Messrs. McMil­ lan and Sittig must understand thlsae well as the rest of tho world; and by longer withholding their support from Gen. Logan, they are failing In their duty to their party in the nation, and to the constituencies they represent. Oen. Logan ought to be elected with out further delay, and Republicans who may connive at delay, or by any other means, may become agents of his de­ feat. will make a'rrcord for themselves which surely, like » curse, will come home to roost with theifi.--Kansas City Journal. 19*The fact that the Postmaster of New York controls an army of 1,730 well paid men, sell9 • post-ige to the amount of 84.(00,000 annually, and handles 8100.000,000 during the inter­ val, appears to make our Democratic friends wild-with rage. Just think what a neat bit of patrouage is thus lost to the faithful, who have been hungering for such glorious pasture fields for the past quarter of a century. ' M^Secretary Lamar has taken early fipportunlty to insult the loyal sentl- ifient of the nation, and given us a faste of what we must expect from the festoratien of the accession element to |»ower. Jacob Thompson, who wa* Secretary of the Interior Department ifndtr •Buchannao, who betrayed Gov­ ernment secrets to the secessionists frhile he was still a sworn officer of the fcatlon, who left his department under the shadow of dishonest dealings, whe became one of the bitterest and most vindictive of rebels, betng an active participant and director in the plott­ ing In Canada for the destruction of northern cities, by Greek fire, and for introducing into them the plagues of small pox and yellow rever, whe fell under such suspicion of complicity in the assassination of Lincoln that a re­ ward of $26,000 was ottered by Presi dent Johnson for bis arrest,--this man, stills unrepentant and unpardoned rebel died somewhere, and straightway the new secession Secretary of the Interior ordered the stars and stripes floating v«ver that department to be placed at ;half mast in his honor, all business sus- ..pended, and a holiday given the 2,885 ' officers and clerks employed there. Perhaps we had no reason to expect ^anything different from this, but it hurts, nevertheless, Lamar's recent de­ fence of Jell Davis, places him in the U catalogue of unrepentant rebels, and he should not be permitted to hold a cabij net position. If unrepentant rebels are to hold high positions In the govern­ ment of this nation, and give national honors to the chief of rebels, then It £.4:. w 11 be become neoeesary tor the north "': *' .east and weat to aoldlfy, and place such "men in the White House as will protect (be Mtlsssl bono*. There Is a creeping sensation, or feeling, and a growing belief among the Democracy that an extra session of Congress would be a good thing. To be sure, it an extra session were called it would be due to the fact that the Democratic majority had failed to en­ act much important and even necessary legislation, but the Democracy will undergo the odium of the charges in the belief that an extra session having the leaders together In Washington, would have the cflect and be potential in apprising the president of the ne­ cessity and importance of distributing the spells. The average Democrat hates to stand perspiring all sumpier and slumbering all fall on Mt. Plsgaa. 8ST" I lie killer of fools and fiends has not been doing good work this season. A contempt able gossiping sheet start­ ed the report that Mrs. Garfield Is ahont to marry again, to whioh she re­ plies: "Nothing that has ever been said about me lias to hurt and offended me as this acd the deepest humiliation of It Is that so many are ready to be­ lieve it. To me it seems just as much an insult to be asked whether it is true as it would be were the dear general still here. That any one can think me capable of being false to his memory seems like being regarded criminal. A dignified denial by my friends, I sup­ pose, can do no harm. Still It hurts me to feel that sny denial Is needed.1* Chancery STATE OP ILLINOIS, ) i t j , M siephi ay McHenry Oonaty, i Circuit Court of McHenry Oonnt Term, A. I>. 188ft.

MOLINE PLOW CO., MOLINC. ILLINOIS. a9*The red tape of the army had an Illustration at Sherman barrack*. Omaha, the other day. A beard of officer* vai convened to decide wheth­ er a tick mule should be shot, or sold as unserviceable; but while deliberat­ ing tbe mule died. This reminds us of another Instance of red tape occurring enoe on at time a Albuquerque, N. M. There was but one oQlser on duty at the place, Capt, John B. Shinn of the artillery. The complaint was made at district headquarters, at Santa Fe, that two mules had been seized by the provost marshal, Capt, J. B, Shinn, from a citizen without worrant of law. The headquarters sent the complaint with an endorsement to Capt. J. B. Shinn. commanding officer at Albuqu­ erque to demand of Capt. J. B. Shinn, provost marshal, an explanation. The paper reaching J. B. Shinn, command­ ing was referred by him to Shinn, pro­ vost marshal, and returning by him to Shinn, commanding, with tbe Infor­ mation that Shinn, post quartermaster had the mules lu charge and knew all about- their seizure. Then Shinn, com­ manding, sent the letter to Shinn, post quartermaster, peremptorily de manding an explanation, which Shinn, pest quartermaster, returned to Shinn, commanding, with the statement that while Shinu, the post quartermaster, bad the mule In charge, that Shinn. provost marshal, had made the seizure. And so on this paper was written over by Shinn In one capacity, or another, and finally returned to the Santa Fe headquarters, when doubtless the muels in question like the 'Omaha mule, had died of old. age. or army red tape. • SODA Best in the World.
