Praise tor Secretary Blaise. Mr. Blaine's treat.mtfit of the Italian affair is warmly praised by the Louisville Courier-,!ournal, which says: "No Amer­ ican statesman has Wr mad3 a clearer, simpler or more eonchisive statements fo£ our side in any controversy than may be found in the admirabV handling of this affair by the Secretary of State. In it, he maintains the traditions of .Adams and Monroe, Clay and Webster, and gives us reason to believe that the end of it will be satisfactory to Italy and honorable to ourselves." Such unre­ served commendation from a political opponent is significant. It shows that the American {>eople can be relied on to get together whenever there is danger of foreign assault, sinking partisanship in patriotism, and springing to the support of a leader >vho shows himself to be worthy, strong ami sagacious. Mr. Maine's assertion of the position of this government was prompt, explicit and uncompromising. While entirely courteous, it was pervaded by just enough rigidity of backbone to make the foreign­ ers stop ard think, and to send a pleas­ ant thrill through the people of the United States. The document, also pre­ sented a combination of brevity, simplic­ ity and force that appealed to the com­ mon understanding as well as to the mind trained in diplomatic phraseology. In this respect it was a model of skill in the use of language. Mr. BJaine caught the popular ear, while preserving - the proprieties of state craft. He has no superior in the art of concise and elear expression. People of all parties are giving generous evidence of their belief that he is an excellent man to have at the head of the State Department. STATE or ILLINOIS, McHenry County, ss.

Carter H. Harri­ son received within 3,246 votes of as many as Cregier! With equal rights at the polls he would have beaten Cregier easily. Yet the gang and gang organs talk of Harrison as a traitor! If free trade results in even a Bmall fraction of the blessings claimed for it, how does it happen that during the past ten years an average of 150,000 inhab­ itants of the British Islands have annu­ ally deserted that country of unrestricted free trade and come to the United States to better their condition under the pro­ tective system. SH'-: 'Republicans have no reason to eomplain of the turn which the political tide has taken in recent, elections. They have made decided gains in Rhode Island, and have won substantial victories in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, all through Ohio and New York and in Michigan. Some of the municipal elec­ tions have not been fought entirely on political lines, but the results are not without a significance, which is highly encouraging. ffl 1ST In view of the recent trouble with subjects of Italy in this country, it is in­ teresting to note that 2,197 Italians landed at Castle Garden in one day last week. On the same day twenty-four criminal immigrants from the same e&nntry were to be sent back to their old home, but all except three escaped from custody before the steamship sailed. These twenty-one criminals can get up several international disputes equally C portentous with the New Orleans in­ cident. I®* The notorious Niles Wheeler, of Geneva, 111., is publishing in the Patrol a series of villainous attacks upon Judge Wilson's character. The fellow has been indicted several times in Kane county for criminal libel, and we learn wafe once publicly horsewhipped for sending a scur­ rilous article to a newspaper, reflecting on a St. Charles lady of the highest stand­ ing and respectability. Wheeler is known as a man utterly devoid of principle, who •will publish anything for pay, regardless of its truth or falsity. As an indication of the estimate in which he is held by his neighbors it may be stated that at the recent caucuses for the selection of dele­ gates to the County Judicial Convention. Geneva and Batavia instructed forjudge Wilson by a unanimous vote. The peo­ ple who have known Judge Wilson for more than fifty years and have five times elected him Circuit Judge, will be sur­ prised to learn that, all at once, in his old age, he has become a disreputable character. This cur, Wheeler, is too far beneath Judge Wilson to even merit a notice, and the Judge rightfully treats his villainous 'attacks with silent con­ tempt. What They Think of Him. We clip the following from theVandalia Union, & paper published in Cockrell's own district, and not very far from his home. The simple truth is. Cockrell has again proved treacherous. Again we say, for this is not the first time he has deserted. During the trying time of the 'GO's Cock­ rell enlisted as a member of the 11th Illinois inf.,* General Martin's regiment. Soon after the emancipation proclama­ tion was issued Cockrell and five others of the regiment deserted and made for home. They left the camp one night and were captured by a styiad of cavalry that were sent in pursuit the nest night but one. They were captured, taken back to Nashville, Tenn., and placed in the guard house. Afterward they were court mar- tialed and sentenced to one month's con finement and one month's work on the fortifications at Nashville with balls and chains to their legs. Cockrell never participated • in a single one of the many battles in which his regi­ ment was engaged. He is now drawing a pension, he having been returned to hie regiment and received the benefit of Pres- dent Lincoln's proclamation of pardon to all those who served out the balance of time after desertion. This is our honorable (?) representa­ tive's record at a time when a man's honor was put to a test. His present course in the legislature is less to be wondered at than it would be if his un savory soldier record were unknown."

'In view of recent occurrences it I r< %roold seem proper that a law should be enacted compelling all foreigners who S v come to this country with the intention | Of engaging in business, in any capacity to renounce allegiance to their former I country and make application for citizen­ ship in our own. At first glance such a law would appear to be unnecessarily v harsh; but it isn't. Its opponents will charge that it will restrict immigration *L and it will; and that is jast what this ( ; country will have to do sooner or later, • ' the sooner the better, and in what better '); way can it be done than by compelling I 5' all foreigners desirous of enjoying the advantages of living in this country to! declare their intention of becoming I American citizens. ^ I E S e n a t o r C u l l o i n e x p r e s s e s r e g r e t a t the retirement of Senator Edmunds who •r" has »at by his side in the Senate for many •) years and the two have been warm V friends. Of the retiring statesman the . , ^Illinois Senator speaks in the following 'f-) t pleasant terms: J • . 1 know Senator Edmunds as well fny one, and I know the talk about hia I einga cold, disagreeable man has no foundation. A Kindlier, more compan­ ionable, genial gentleman 1 never knew. An odd fact concerning iny intimacy with Edmunds is that I havealwaysveuorated ••y / him. When in his company I have ai­ ry,, ways had the feeling that he was much - • older than myself; almost old enough to be my father. I was amazed one day on 5',.. looking in the Congressional Directory to discover that Mr. Edmunds is only a k:" r year and nine months older than myself. *"* He is still a young man, only sixty-three, ,und it is a pity that the state of his health has induced him to retire from Eublic life after such a long and honora-le career."
