BUTI.EU may capture nil the aide- how nominatious , but ho will not getaway away with the main circus under the democratic canvaa. TUG Colorado dologatcs have placed n live caglo in tlio Blaine headquarters. After the convention Hie noble bird may have to scream for some other good man. CHICAGO hotel kcojiors are unanimous ly in favor of n constitutional amendment , providing for a presidential election once o year and requiring the conventions to bo hold in that city. TWBNTY-FOUII hours have passed with out Ben. Butler receiving n presidential nomination. It was probably because Sunday intervened , and Bon. thought it proper for him to give the people a rest. IP Chicago speculators do not got up a "corner" on convention seats that will make the board of trade green with envy , the republican party may congratulate itself over good management in a tricked city. Tm : principal occupation of the people of this country for the rest of tliio wool : will bo the reading of the long-winded reports of the Chicago convention. All other business Is of secondary importance ; lionco this dullness. A Rtnu'LUH of $155,000,000 waa report ed from the treasury a few days ago. The emotion of Mr. Morrison and the friends of a horizontal revenue reform upon reading the announcement can bo better imagined than described. BILLY MAHONI : knocked out the "straight-outs" on the first round. Tlio national sub-commlttoo , by a vote of 31 to 1C , decided to admit the Hahono dele gation. This action will probably bo ap proved by the convention. Outmcii Howe has received his reward for furnishing that free car for the Ne braska delegates to the national republi can convention.

The spectre of the murdered Mor risen tariff bill will not down , even at the bidding of Macbeth Itandall , Tin : B. & M. railroad extension to Grand Island lias boon completed. This gives Grand Island a now connaction with Omaha , via Lincoln. The city of Grant ] Inland is certainly to ba congratulated upon her prosperity. She ia now quito an important railroad center , and ia grow ing very rapidly. TUB friends of Jamea G. Blaine , par. ticularly those from tlio Pacific alopo , are Hurprued upon arriving upon the field o | action , to find that Bloino'a utrongth has beeu somewhat over-estimated , and that Arthur's following is much larger than they had ony idea of , beiides being well organized aud enthusiastic.

AV ; ir A KM r co vn r.sMA n TTA L. The conclusion of the Swaim court of nquiry , at Washington , will nhorlly bo ollowcd , as is gonurally believed , by the order of Secretary Lincoln convening courln.martlal for the trial of Judge Ad- rocato General Svvnim and Colonel A. P. Morrow , on the charge of conduct un- icconiing ofliccrs and gentlemen. In ho caao of General Swalm the charge ia ) aaed upon diahonorablo monetary trans actions with a Washington noto-sharer mined lUtcinnn , the ecandal connected with which has forced into official notice , what the public haa had reason to bo- eve tor a year concerning Colonel Mor ow's triplication of his pay vouchers , The simultaneous publication of this oublo army ocandal will doubtless afford 10 papers , whoso business it is to pick uva in our present military morale and lanagomont , an excellent opportunity to osumo their tirade against the regular rmy and the officers who command it. Vo may expect to have the cases of Rene nd llgca , of Simpson , and Cummings , of IcKibbon , and Robertson rehashed with 11 the variations on the old key of "rot- onnoss in the service. " The proportion f olumdora to the total number of officers n the roll will bo carefully auppreescd , lie fact that fewer oflicoro are brought ) oforo gunoral courta-martial now lian formerly will not bo mentioned , nd no allusion will bo made to what is well known , that the purification f the army by the expulsion of un worthy ollicera 1ms boon accomplished entirely by the army itself , that the charges have been made by brother- officers , end that the accused have been tried and sentenced and expelled by the very class against whom ouch swooping and general charges of dishonesty and orruption are BO flippantly mado. These ro items which must bo sot against any ( oncral bill of indictment drawn against lie service. It may bo said , nt the outset , that , lorhaps , the public cxpccla too much of ho army , or , rather , of army officers as a class. On Homo accounts , it ia natural hat this should bo so. Tlio honor of the country and the honor of the Boldior are often very closely connected , and the rank of an officer and tlio qualifications of a gentleman are presumed to go hand-in- land. This feeling ia nowhere BO strong as in the army itself , and it is duo to its strength among the ollicora that the do- volopmonta of the past joar in court- martial canes have coino to light. In each and every caao brought to trial irompt juatico has boon measured out to ho accused , and the honor of the army ias boon preserved by the dishonor of ho offender. There is no reason to doubt that the amo inflexible sense of justice will assort tsolf in the cases of General Swaim nd Colonel Morrow. Honorable officers vorywhoro , assertions to the contrary notwithstanding , the great mass of army officers are honorable , have been scandal- zed by the developments of the past nonth in Washington. Secretary Lin coln will give no faint hearted support o every effort to aid the norvico of men with whom brother ollicora fool it a dis- ; race to bo compelled to associate. A nistakon executive clemency , which iu ho past has forced back into the army 'oaucs ' expelled by court martial , is not ikoly to bo exorcised in b bhalf of such ) ffondors by President Arthur. And irominont officers have not hesitated to express the opinion that if the scathing md often unjust critlcisma of irregular- ! Jos in the service have done no other ; oed , they have at least rendered difficult n the future the exertion of political in- luonco to roatoro to rank and command non who have boon branded by their army associates as unworthy to associate with officers and gentlemen. Tin : recent riots are having a aalutory cffuct in Cincinnati ! . The number cf her murderers will bo materially reduced atan early day by aomo healthy legal hangings. Tlio criminal courtn have been Increased ; rom ono to throe. The judges are rcfus- ng all applications for continuance un- S for the most vital reasons , and a much better class of men fill the boxoa. Minor oiVondora are diapoaod of uith a iroinptnons th.it , would have boon duchxr- ed quito impossible three months ago , and when convicted the judge looses no iimo in sentencing them , and the non- lonces are severer than under the old regime. Oliver , who was convicted of nurdor last Saturday , waa defended by Mnjur 0. II. Blackburn , ono of the ablest criminal practionora in Ohio. Major Blackburn looked for an acquittal , or at .ho worat a verdict of murder iu the third ilcgreo. lie wua judging from the practice - tico of jurists before the uprising. Whim a verdict of murder in the first degree was road ho declared ho would tuko no nero criminal caaea. The people were jound that the murderers ahould bang , and there waa no uao in defending thorn. The saino sentiment prevailed , lie said , n adjoining counties , BO a change of von. vo would do no good. Ho prid clod that aomo day an innocent man would bo tanged , and then there would bo a reac tion. Disimor ArrouNKY GODWIN will never iiavo a bolter opportunity to make n record than ho has at the nroaont timo. Besides having eovoral murder cases to try , hn has other important dutioa to perform , ono of which ia to thoroughly Bent to thu grand jury the charges .hat bus been made againat certain city officials. As u matter of justice to the public and to the officials who have boon charged with bribery and corruption , in the nowapapcra and upin every street corner , the grand jury cannot afford to iinoro those charges , Mr. Godwin in presenting the matter to the grand jurj s'lould nuke nuro of evidence that wil not only cause indictments to bo found , but wil uUo warrant convictions ujioi the trials. From the stops that ho hns already taken , wo bollovo that ho moans buaincss , and will do everything in his power to nift the scandals to the very bottom and got at the truth.

"SALT LAKH Fnurr , " a latter-day ro- trmnco , has just been published by Hand , Avery & Co. , Boston. Sold by subscrip tion only. The volume is beautifully printed and illustrated , and has a hand some illuminated cover. The author is a lady an American who haa occupied a liigh position in Washington circles , and is thoroughly qualified to write upon the aubjoct of Mormon lifo in Utah. The story ia written in charming style , and the plot is intensely interesting , aa con siderable ingenuity haa been exor cised in ils formation. The facts narrated in the story all have their counterpart in the well-au thenticated experience of actual lives. The incidents are not at all exaggerated. Those facta upon which the atoiy hinges are inoro hideous in their naked truth , than those clothed in fiction's drapery. The author haa evidently boon among the Mormons to gather her material , which she has certainly dressed up in attractive array. Wo venture to assert that her work will bo\r good fruit , and will im press upon tlio people the hidcoumioas of polygamy and the necessity of crushing it. It ia high time that hero o action bo taken towards removing this cancer from the body public , and wo be lieve that the author and publishers cf this powerful story , will contribute not a lilllotowardaaconsumnation DO < lo\cutely to bo wished. The motive of the story is ono that commends itaolf to every in telligent and high-minded penion , and therefore it should receive the heartiest welcome and support , ni wo buliovo it cerUlnly well. In her preface the author makes the following appeal : "ijjmo tvumon in Utah are hold in silence - lenco by domcnlio tyranny ; some by hope , through their goal , of gaining influ ence paramount with their hiuband , aud tluifl , pandering to hia vice , obtain mastery of him. Disgrace to woman that thus it ia ! and yet ia it truth. "But to you , men with daughtori , those- silent tongues apeak wilh eloquence beyond all worda. To 'you those miserable - able women hold up Iho daily , hourly lorturo of their disgraced lives. Help them , or iiorlmps your own ewe lamb may one day bo crushed in the horrible folds of that most hideous , moat powerful serpent. Do not deceive yourselves. Do not believe that Mormoniatu ia con- tout to rest In Utah. Slowly , surely the monster ia stretching abroad itn horri ble body. Cautiously those vimll green eyes , full of cunning , are watching each opportunity fer ndvrtiico ; mid from Its fanged tongue drops the poison of its nc- ouraed creed. The power of its institu tions ia iiu/to wonderful , morj absolute , limn wtta over the inmiiaition , Its per fect organic ition excels any known gov ernment. No Ruraina eer/a were evermore more completely nubj utvd than ita fol lowers. Cunuiiqly it defies , overcomes and subserves to ita own onda , the lawn of the United States. 15) great majorities it carries every election , Its men call upon their creatuica for aup1 port ; and tlumo who would , d ro not dis < obey , Wo are hild that bluod-atonomonl dots not longer exist. Wo are told thai the Mormon law is dead , which , for diao bodleuco , took to her open | * rave the wife , and , first bidding her look therein 110'it her throat , and , helding her over tin ' \avning hole , let her know her owi .blond wai moialcning the ground when 11 soon would lie her body , But do wi ( now it i a fact ? Do wo know that law s dead ? What do wo over know of the lecrotn hidden in the folds ot that power- ill organization ? Do wo not know th'at persons in Utah who mysteriously disap pear are never found are rarely looked 'or ? Do wp not know of the murder of a noted physician hi night and sound of lasaing Mormons ? Yet these very men , indor oath , declared they haa seen lothing. ThoHo living ifi Utah have mown how criminals are shielded by Mormon authorities. " "TiiKur. WAH osri : A MAN , ' ' slory by H. H.

This novel opens , with immcdiatp.strong dr.imatic effect , in the metropolitan so ciety of the patrician old Knickerbock ers , sixty years ago ; and , oflcr a reman- ic prcludo , both surprises and keenly rfcshciis the reader by transferring character and action to ono of the most 'aacinating tropical paradises of the ) ricnt.

Upon the extiiro of n delicate and poetic lovc- tory are etched , incidentally , the strange and atirring principal acts in the career of the famous English Ibjah Brooke , of Jornco ; and through all the alternations of the Anglo-American social drama with ho moat heroic and chivalroun p.isaaifcs of modern personal history in the Orient , comes conspicuously forward the clmrac- , or of a great Darwinian naturalist , who ias visited the homo of the orang-outang , .0 work out the problem of the "miss- ng link.

Simple , direct , with out the lazy gracoaof quitudo and leisurely - ly polish , it opens with an unpretending scene ot villiago lifo , introducing the maidenly and most attractive heroine of the story a girl of sensitive nature but rather unuaual force of mind on the day of her "graduation" from the village high-school. Her brother , too , waa u stalwart , prosperous , clear-headed young physician , claims attention. The girl lias boon overworked in school and some what restrained within " absurdly "lady like" limits at homo , it was twcnty- seven years ago , ao thatshp passes rapid ly into a condition of n hat is now known aa "nervous prostration.

" Hprp the true story begins. It is a vivid picture of the lifo in which so many of our tondorcst and most sensitive friends - these who have boon wearied if not worn out by the in- tonao activity of American lifo are con demned. And if it bo truc ( which can hard ly bo questioned ) that , aa wo are told in this book , patients are never discharged aa cured unices by the express order of of these who are responsible for paying their expenses in the institution ; it ia in deed time that the public at largo should know why. 1'KUSONAIi I OINTS.

Father and son hare since been identified with aomo of the nest important interests of the state. The latter was licensed to practice law when ho was 18 years old , Early in life 10 took an interest in politics , filling va rious local ofliccs and being an elector on the Boll and Kverctt ticket. At the out break of the war ho was commissioned by Gov. Houston as a brigadier general of volunteers , and in the succeeding years of atrifo did what ho could to establish - lish a southern confederacy. At the end of the war ho wont over to the winning side , and in 1805 ho was appointed - pointed j'ltk'o of the Fifth judicial dis trict. In 1808 ho was elected to the ttato constitutional convention , In 18G9 ! io was elected to the state senate ; and two years after waa elected lieutenant governor of the state. In 1875 ho was sent to represent his district in another constitutional convention , thus assisting n the formation and adoption of two state constitutions. In 1872 ho was chairman of the Texas delegation to the opublican national convention , and in I860 ho was ono of the Texas members of the Grant guard of 300 at the Chicago convention.
