Xj Stewart's Peculiarities. letter in Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. New Yora I was talking yesterday with a gentle- man whq had been an intimate friend of A. T. Stawart, the greatest meichant per- haps thai this country ever knew, aud he threw nejw light on his history.

Contrary to generlil belief Stewart started with a comfortable fortune, and did not work bis way from the ground up. He came to this country is a young man, sent on a pleasure trip by has father. He was a close observer and leisurely traveler, and went home luuiuugiwy posLcu as to una rouuuj. Having tin return to America verv soon, he recalled the fact that there was a fine mar- gin of pifofit between price of laces in the Old jCoun'try and this. He therefore invested I $25,000, 'his patrimony, in laces and broukht them over on his second trip.

This spepulatioii turned out so well that ne had another lot sent oyer, and opened a shop frorh which he might dispose of them, This was! the beginning of his mercantile business. StewarSt was a man of confirmed super- stitions. He would never eat at a table at which th rtden people were seated, and on one occasion when a guest who had de- clmed coming to his usual bunday dining and afterward came when his place had been filled, he declined to receive him, as he made hej number thirteen. He finally determined to overcome this superstition, and dined at a table at which thirteen were seated. He died a few weeks after- 1 ward, but very much doubt if that was what kil him, He never wanted to' have his photograph taken, saying "Peo- pie who uyi goods from me think I am a noble-lookin'K man with flowing whiskers and a greV Beaid.

They'd lose faith in my prestige if they became familiar with my insignificant face." He was a shop-keeper all his life, and the shop-keeping instinct never left him. He once dropped into Tiffany's and saw a friend examining some pearls that he was thinking of buying for his wife, Stewart caught hold of him and hurried him out before he bad time to close the-trade. Once down stairs he got him into hi coupe and insisted on his go ing to his store with him. He hurried him up-stairs to the lace department, took out an especial pattern and said "Xow, that's what you want to buy for your wife!" and he sold" it to him. At this very time Stewart was worth 'millions, and would have given the friend he had cajoled intorbuy- ing ten times the price of the.

lace, but the selling instinct was stronger in him than anything else. I learned from my inform-1 ant that Stewart's body had never been re-1 covered, Judge Hilton could have had it I at almost any time, provided he would have paid the required ransom. He re- fused to do this, however, on the ground that if he did so the business of grave- robbirjg, having proved profitable, would I have become popular among thieves. Indian Progress. From the Helena (Montana) JndeDendent.

Those who take an interest, in the pro gress made by the Indians toward their self support and civilization will be pleased to learn the following interesting facts, for I which we are indebted to Miyor John I Young, agent for the Blackfeet, Bloods and I Piegans: The Blackfeet, Bloods and Pie- gans on the northern border of our Terri- tory have "entered the wedge of prepar-1 ation for the change required by the. fast I wasting supply of buffalo. For three years I past; all the labor at their agency, such as cutting and hauling firewood, assisting at the putting in and saving of the crops on the agency farm, has been done by them. I All the fences around the agency were con- I structed by Indian labor solely. They in closed more than five hundred acres of land.

About forty heads of families have abandoned their roaming habits, built log cabins and now cultivate small farms. While seed potatoes were so scarce and high in price last spring one Indian, Run- ning Crane, had enough remaining after 1 winter use to supply with'seed all his bro- ther Indian farmers. Potatoes, turnips" and carrots are the favorite crops. Last August, on one of the issue days at the agency, when the Indians, were all gather ed there, an Indian, Crow Gut, drove his wagon to the gate loaded with the produce I of his farm, and then, in true Yankee ped- dling fashion, sold out by measure to the assembled crowd his potatoes, turnips and I carrots. The taste for cabin building and living "as the white man does" is spread- I ing among them, and in some of the val- I leys there is almost a village.

To aid in this the Department has sent a saw-mill, now in course of erection, so that the necessary lumber may be had. The chil dren within reach of the agency attend school, of which they are very fond, and I I I I I 1 I I I I 1 1 I I A is he REPORT. Comptroller Anderson's first annual re port, which has ust been printed, is model document, presenting in a clear yet concise manner the entire workings of the State Government. The table of "Abstracts of Ratables" shows that out of the twenty- one counties of the State six of them pre sented a decreased valuation in the year 1880 from the preceding year; Burlington returns a decrease of $288,211 Cumber land, 70,000 Hudson, 1,768,478.81 Hun terdon, Salem, $62,492 Union $390,350. The.

largest increase during the year was in Essex, $3,568,000, whilej Passaic follows with The, most remark able showing" of increased prosperity is made by Bergen, one of the smallest, terri torially, of the counties, of $2,538,604 The total amount of ratables returned to the Comptroller by the Boarci of Assessors is $578,617,518.84 against for the preceding year. While the Comp troller credits the revival of business with the increase shown in the various counties, he believes that the apparent I depreciation snown in me six counties is juxuy winuu- table to the defects in the system of valu ing property for taxation. The Constitu tion requires that! the Legislatur shall make provision for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of free public schools, and the general school law provides for the collection of a tax for the purpose, to be levied each year, at the rate of two mills on each ddljar of the taxable property of the State aSj exhib ited by the abstracts of ratables from the several counties filed yearly in thejoffice of the Comptroller. The whole suinj thus I A 1 A it ll i receivea is apportioned to me several yuuu-ties by the Superintendent of Public In struction on the basis of the pumber of children in each county entitled td the benefits of free-school education, anc the Comptroller shows the importance i hav ing a fair and equitable valuation made of the property upon which the law is levied for the support of free-school The receipts of the State fund during the fiscal year were $1,075,421.10, divided as follows Tax on Corporations State tax Suite Prison receipts $696,820 57 86 Interests and dividends on bonds and i stocks .11,030 00 Securities paid off.

I Legislative Wife-Beaters and the Whipping Post.

I correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writing from Newark, speaks as fol lows on the subject of re-establishing the whipping-post in this State for the especial benefit of a class known as ijvife-1 aters, which was recommended by the last Grand Jury of Essex county The agitation for a whipping-post for wife-beaters continues with sbme energy, and if public sentirajgnt can lead to its establishment it is very likely to become an active punishing agent in Essex county. There is some dubiousness about the constitutionality of the method. Th Xew Jersey Constitution says, article section 15: -j Excessive bail shall not be remiired excessive fines shall not be imposed, and cruel and jumisual punishments shall not be inflicted. This was incorporated in the Xew Jer sey Constitution in 1844, anjl thtire has been no whipping of criminals since 1842. It is said by some lawyers tht whipping is regarded as ''cruel and unless it was permitted by statute at the time such a provision was adapted.

If this opinion is good there could be no authority given for the establishment of la whipping post, except by a moaincation of tne Con- stitution, or by the Courts winking! at the infliction of corporal punishment, 'and it is to be feared that the Courts of Xew; Jersey, if they are not too upright, are certainly too dignified to wink at anything. I It is a long while since therti was public whipping by the authoriteslfor crime in Xew Jersey. In the days of the early set1 tlement of the State there were three pun-ishments the stocks, for the least offenses against the law, whipping for the more serious, and death for the important) grades. Advancing time limited the infliction of death to murderers, and in 18129 whipping was to be administered only in aggravated cases of petit larceny, whilft the. stocks bid been relegated to museijims.

Whipj, ping was inflicted only occasionally aud was always done in public. I "Well laid on" was always the direction pf the Court, and it was followed so closely that the thieving vagrants had an admixture of blood and dirt on their backs which was not at all pleasant to obsetve. The whip ping was a public spectacle and it was the belief that the disgraca and publicity were the severest portions of the; punishment. Our colored man and Drotiier" suffered most frequently, it being the! calm judg ment of the Jersey man, as was ol bis Southern master, that "whipping don't hurt a nigger." When the act abolishing corporal punishment was passedn 1842 there was much excitement over the matter in the State and the measure w3 widely opposed, public meetings in favor of contiau- ing whipping were neldland a repeal of tne repealer was senousjy coiisiaerea. The atritation here on tne subject has certainly been effectual in rousing public sentiment against wife beating, and.

the Courts are now inclined to inflict the severest penalties the present law affords on wife beaters. -There will bei it is safe to ay, fewer cases of the abominable misde-msocir I The $60,000 received by Lord Beacon field for his last novel is believed to represent the largest amount given in England for any work of fiction. Scott received $40,000 for "Woodstock," and George Eliot the same amount for "Middlemarch." Bui wer Lytton's earlier novels, even when he was not the rage, did not bring him in more than, from to $5,000, but subsequently received handsome amounts for a copyright of acplleetive edition. Lord Beaconsfield's earlier novels, notwithstand ing the success of the first, "Vivian Grey had a very limited sale, and could be bought for next to nothing within a few months of publication. They never be came in general reqnest as components of library, and in England were only read with interest by persons familiar with po luii-al ana social Hie.

At the end ol halt a century, his copyright began to bring him in some .00 a year. At the present moment the copyriKht-o Wordsworth's works, according td a 1110s competent authority, would be worth abou 1,000 a year.

Ajfrlcnlture in Chili. Much of the improvident method of ag- riculture in the "Vale of Chili" is ascribed to the fact that the land originally taken from the indigenous races by right of con quest, 'was allotted to a few great proprie tors whose descendants have held and still hold enormous estates, passing from gener- ation to generation, from father to son, and that these being assured of permanent affluence, were satisfied with such revenues as might be got from the land with the leas' possible trouble or expense. The class of these wealthy hacendados, or land own ers, have been looked upon as the bane of Chili, as fatal to the conntry as the, Bor ghese, the Chigi, the Berberini, and other princes are, or were, to the unfilled Roman Campagna like these perpetuating the evil by those l.iws of primogeniture which tended to concentrate all property, as well as the government of the country, in the hands of "a few privileged families.

Real and Personal Estate In 9iew- Jersey. Ex-Surrogate Moore, of Xewark, furnishes the following interesting synopsis of the Xew Jersey law of descent and distribu tion of estates where no will is left DESCENT OF EEAL Rear estate descends to lawful children in equal shares: the issue of deceased child takes the parent's share. 11 there are no children or their issue, brothers and sisters of the whole bloml take in equal shares, the issue of any de ceased brother or sister taking the parent's share. It there are no children or issue of any, no brothers or sisters of the whole blood or issue of any, then the father takes unless the person dying is seized on the part of the mother. If no children, brothers or sisters, or issue of any, or father, the mother takes a lite estate.

If there are none of those above specified and there are brothers or sisters of the half blood then they take equally, the issue of any deceased taking the parent's share; provided if the lands of 'the deceased came from any of his ancestors, those not of the blood of such ancestor will be excluded In default of relations of the classes above specified or issue of them, the lands will descend and go to the several per sons of equal degree of consanguinity to the person so seized, as tenants in common in equal parts, however remote from the person so seized," unless the llands came from one of his or her ancestors, in which case those that are not of the blood of such ancestor will be excluded, if there be any person of the blood of the ancester capable of inheriting. A posthumous child will take the same as if born in the lifetime of the father. And even where there is a will such posthumous child, unless provided for by the will or expressly excluded, will take as if the father died intestate, and consequently there be no other children the will will be void- The widow has the use of one-third of the lands of her husband during her life as her dower, and is entitled to the use of mansion house and plantation bf her husband free of rent until her dower be assigned. And if provision is made for her by the will of her husband in lieu of dower, she has six months to elt ct whether she will accept the provision or take her dower at law. The: husband, if there be issue of the marriage born alive, is entitled to the use of the lauds of his deceased yife for life, as tenant by the couijtesy, and fehe cannot depriv him of it by If there be no relatives capable of inheriting! the lands escheat to the btate.

DISTEIBUTIOX OF PERSONAL STATE. If a man dies leaving wife and children. the wife takes ona-third and the children the other two-thirds in equal shares, and if any jof the children be dead, leaving issue, such issue takes the parent's share. If he leaves no children the wife takes one-half and the father, if living, the other half. If the father be not living the moth er and brothers and sisters takje equally.

The children of deceased brothers and sis ters take the parent's share by representation, but there is no representation amonc collaterals beyond brothers and sisters' children. That is great nephewsiand nieces do not take where there are jany other nearer relatives. i i Where there is no father or mother. brothers or sisters, then uncles and aunts, nephews and nieces take an equal share. Where these all fail then the nearest of kin take equally.

For instance, great uncles and aunts, great nephews and neices and cousins take each one! an eq aal share. If a married woman dies without a will the husband (being presumed less capable oi taKing care oi nimseir than the wife), akes the whole of her personal estate abso-utely. A married woman may dispose of her personal estate by will. It there are no relatives the personal es tate is paid over to the Overseer of the Poor after seven years if no one Entitled to it applies lor it within that time. The State Agricultural Society.

JOHXSTOX. For onr sketch this week we have selected a gentleman entirely outside the pale of political ambition one whose name is conspicuous among leading artists and literati of the day. He has been a resident of Camden for many years, and is honored as only gentlemen of high culture and unswerving integrity can be honored. Colonel John R. Johnston was born in the city of Ohio, on the 11th of March, 1826, and is the youngest bnt one of a family of five children.

His father was a native of the county of Tyrone, Ii eland, but his mother was a Pennsylvania woman. Shortly after their marriage they removed to Ohio and were among the first settlers of the Queen City of the then West. The subject of this brief biography was originally intended by his parents for the Presbyterian ministry, but early developing a better love of art he was permitted to follow the bent of his own inclinations. How he has succeeded is known to the entire country, and his labors are admired by hundreds and thousands, we may say, in Camden and other cities. In the spring of 1847 he was married to a Miss Freeman, his present wife.

In 1863 he painted the last portrait of Gen. Andrew Jackson, at the Hermitage, which was greatly admired by all who it. He also painted a portrait of Col. Richard M. Johnston.

In 1849 he made minute sketches and painted the Mississippi river from St. Anthony's Falls to its mouth, including all those cities and towns which have, since become famous in various respects. Subsequently he painted a gigantic panorama of the Bible, the dimensions of which was twelve feet and eighteen hundred feet long. It embraced the principal events narrated in the Old and Xew Testaments. In connection with the exhibition of his mammoth painting he delivered many lectures on the Bible and its histori cal events.

While a resident of Cincinnati he occupied numerous offices of trust and respon sibility, all of which he filled with ability arid honor. He served in the City Council with such men as Chief Justice Chase, Pf-es-'dent Rutherford B. Hayes, Governor Anderson, Don Piatt and many others of distinction. In 1855 he went from Cin cinnati to the South, and finally located i Baltimore. While in that city he painted portraits of many of the most noted men and women of the day.

His genius and skill there became so popular that he was commissioned to paint likenesses of ten of the Mayors of that city. These pictures still adorn the Council chamber. He also painted portraits of noted Governors and statesmen of Maryland and the South which are highly, prized. He was the per sonal and intimate friend of the great actor Edwin Forrest, who gave him mini erous orders and commissions. It was not long before his name in Baltimore became household word, and he was largely patrouized by A.

S. Abel, proprietor of the Daily San of that city, Zenus Bar- n.um, Judge Taney, Judge Legraud and others. His paintings at State fairs alwayi took the first prizes gold medals. On the breaking out of the terrible rebel lion the heart Of Mr. Johnston was fired with indignant enthusiasm against the efforts made by armed revolutionists to destroy the Government of the Xation He was made Colonel of the First Maryland Regiment, Union army, and did heroic duty.

In addition to his other genial quali ties, as a practical joker, humorist, wit and vocalist, he had at that time few, if any. equals. He still Tetains these qualities to a marvellous extent. Artemus Ward 'was largely indebted to him for many of his best jokes so are nearly all the authors of wit and humor of the present day. Xo supper or entertainment in Baltimore or Washington was considered complete unless Col.

Johnstou was present, for more than twenty years. As a genial whole-souled fellow, a boon companion for fun and hu mor, and one to keep the table in a roar. few can equal him. On one occasion during the rebellion Col. Johnston was on parole in Baltimore.

when some evil-disposed person started the story that he had sworn "he would not cut his hair until Jeff. Davis was recognized as President of the new Confederacy." The story was false and malicious but Gengral Lew. Wallace, who had always previously been a friend of our artist, caused his arrest and sent him to Fort McHenry. Mr. John ston remained there during the summer He was.

however, finally released through the influences and instrumentality of John W.Garrett and Arch Bishop Spaulding. But, while under arrest he was compelled to have his haircut close, the loss of which was felt by him as keenly as a Chinese feels the loss of his queu. In addition he had to take the iron-clad oath of allegiance and give $50,000 bonds, Col. M. X.

Falls, Presi dent of the Bay Line Steam Company, and John T. Ford, the Manager, becoming his bondsmen. After he was released from military prison he and his daughter, under the patronage of his host of friends, sailed to Europe making a general trip around the world, visiting all places of note on three continents. His letters to the press of Baltimore were read with great interest because of the amount of important infor mation they contained. On his return he and Charles Getz painted a panorama of the artist's trip he lecturing on it in song and story, wit and humor.

It was regarded as the most classic entertainment ever seen of the kind. In 1872 Colonel Johnston left the South and came to Camden where he has since resided, and where he counts his friends by the hundreds. No one who knows him can fail to highly esteem and respect him. His house is always open, and his evening entertainments are appreciated by the lit erati, artists, lawyers and others, while the lady-like und intellectual conversation of his beloved wife, his learned daughter and genial eon, add decided lustre to every thing abont his bouse. Colonel Johnston has his studio in Library street, Philadel phia, where those who love art are to be seen daily.

His landscapes rank among the best his coloring is hazy and grey. He is a close observer of nature, but always true, a thorough student and genius. He has none of the clap-trap about his pictures they being fine and pleasing and true to nature itself He has national reputation of which any man should feel proud. His friendship is warm and reliable, and his promise and word is his religion. In politics he is a Democrat, but generally he votes for the man he thinks best filled for the place.

This i the true and parotic spirit, one which should be followed by every true citizen. Few politicians, however, emulate such examples. '1 4 Be Temperate. When sickness or depression comes do not buy tonio bitters." It is batter to die of disease than firunkenness. Buy a botile of Dr.

See A doer. a of THE INTEBESTTNQ TOPICS CCBRENT AT TBENTON LEGISLATION BUT JUST COMMENCED THE OFFICES AT THE DISPOSAL OF LUDLOW, AKD WHO ABE i-IKELY TO GET THEM. Jan. 19, 1881 During the present week, the Senatorial problem has absorbed and monopolized the attention of the Capital.

Swarms of poli ticians from men in years to beardless boys have flocked hither to lend- theirinfluence to their favorite candidates Even the in aueci ration only created a lull in the cornering and buttonholing process'1 which is supposed to be potent in the case. tainly there was a large attendance upon the inauguration of Gov. Ludlow aad the crowd of people here on Monday was there by augmented on Tuesday! and decreased to-day. But one hardly misses a Democrat or a few scores of Democrats in these days of Republican Senator-making- The official announcement of a U. S.

Senatorial caucus to-night had the effect of stimulating the friends of the various candidates, and of increasing the members and delegations from the city and rural districts but at this writing (Wednesday morning) nobody is indiscreet enough to say that he knows who will be the caucus nominee few hours hence, IS. Legislation has hardly begun, but a few steps toward work have been taken. On Monday night Senator Deacon, of the Tax Commission, reported two bills having the formation of a "eeneral tax1 law as object; and two bills supplemental thereto and to the work of the same Commission were on the same evening introduced in the House. These bills are said to be the out come of the most studious efforts of the Commisson to frame a just) and equitable statute. Local option has; also made its appearance.

It is the bill which' passed the Senate at the last session in duplicate and will be vigorously pressed by the same advocates who pushed it last yr. 'Report says it. is doubtful if the prohibitionists will oppose the bill as they have' hereto fore; but this is only a rumor, tvveu prohibitionists think they have some rights which local-optionists are bound to respect. Whether the prohibitionists show their hands or conceal them the fight over this will be a' lively one, and even if the bit! comes into and passes the Senate, there are. it is said, a number of men who are wil ling to talk it to death before the Commit tee or kill it, if possible, by a 'similar pro- i cess in the House.

The Warren county Ringsters, who emerged from State Prison some time since minus the right of suffrage, are appealing as petitioners for the right to vote. What action will be taken in these cases is not positively it seems not unlikely that legislative clemency will compassion ately restore a right forfeited, and leave to the petitioners the eflort to recover their good name. After the IL S. Senatorial contest is con eluded, the next issue of importance will be the nomination and confirmation ot State officers. Public opinion has about decided that Gov.

Ludlow will renominate the present Secretary of State, and he may be confirmed bnt it is positively known that there is here and there a Senator who will never, consent to go on the' record as an endorser of that gentleman. It may be that the number of his opponents will in crease sufficiently to mak( it very -interest ing for this occupant of multifarious. offices and receiver of handsome emoluments. The bill to fix which is Saxon for reduce the Secretary's salary has already made him uneasy; and the proposition to create the office of State Insurance Commissioner does not agree with his idea of the 'proper recognition of his eminent services in the discharge of a delicate and onerous duty. albeit the income has been a nice little ac companiment thereto.

Then there is the Clerk in Chancery. Will he be his own successor There are well- informed Democrats who pretend to know that Mr. Little will be succeeded by G. D. W.

Vroom. Yroom's friends are making more of an effort to get that gentlemen into Mr. Little's seat than appears' on the surface, and they go about the business like men who have the objective point in sight with a fair prospect of reaching it. Of the State Prison Keeper it is said that if Gen. Mott don't want renomination therefor, a Hudson county applicent, of several years' patient waiting, will be ten dered the present incumbent's old shoes.

But in the opinion of those who ought to know, Ex-Gev. McCIellan paved the way to Mott's renomination, and it is pretty well understood that the emoluments are large enough to make Gen. Mott very well satis fied to continue business at the old stand. This about sums up all there is of inter est in Trenton now. Keeping in mind the Senatorial question, and what is here pre sented, readers of the Coubier, at a distance from the Capital, will have a good idea of what is going on where laws and enemies are made.

New Jersey Cranberry Growers The annual meeting of the Xew Jersey Cranberry-Growers' Association was held in the Chancery Room of the State House at Trenton on Wednesday, Dr. J. H. Bradley, the President, presiding. After the usual routine business the statistician pre sented an interesting and instructive report, which will be printed in full in the copyright proceedings of the' Association for the benefit of the members.

The present crop is the largest ever known, amounting in round numbers to 492,630 bushels, but, notwithstanding the unpre cedented crop, a much larger portion than was supposed has found its way to market and consifmption, leaving in the hands of growers at this season a less amount in proportion than in previous years. The export demand for the fruit has been con siderably increased, mainly through the instrumentality of the Fruit Growers' Trade Company, which is organized among and conducted by members of the Association. An interesting paper was read by the Secretary from Mr. S. H.

Comings, a resident of St. Joe, Mich, The treasurer's report showed an excess of the receipts over expenditures of $19.85. The subject of standard measure was discussed, and the membership was a unit as to its advan tages to all concerned. It was decided not to ask' the present Legislature for an amendment to the law prohibiting the mar keting of the fruit in anything but standard crates, half crates and quarter crates, and standard barrels, half barrels and quarter barrels, but to rigorously enforce the law as it exists, which requires that undersized packages shall be conspicuously marked with figures denoting the fractional part of a standard crate or bushel that it contains. The Associafloti had a hard struggle to establish a standard measure for cranberries, which is growing in favor with all honest growers and consumers.

Th following officers were elected for the ensuing year1: President, Dr. J. H. Brakely, of Borden town; First Vice President, James A. Fenwick, New Lisbon Second, Dr.

B. SENATOR 8EWEUU. Of Gen. Sewell, who was made the unan unions choice of the Republican members of the Legislature for the position of United States Senator, it is unnecessary in this community to say a word either per sonally or politically. The infallible man is yet unborn, and it is no wild assertion to say that in the responsible political po sition he has held for the past nine years, and aa a ledHer of the Republican party in the State, few errors can be justly charged against him.

No candid, fair man in the possession of all the facts can dispute that such is the case, and during, the spirited contest which proceeded his election there was no more gratifying, feature: to his friends than jts admission by his oppo nents, He was injudiciously attacked in some quarters but uo word of resentment ever passed his He naturally expected ODDOsition if trom no other reason than that every man has warm, personal friends, and he expected them to work as hard as they did for the advancement of their favorite. In the high position to which be has been advanced no word or. act of his will cause regret to those who have given him their confidence. The interests of the Xation and the State will be sacredly guarded, and he will bring to the dis charge of his new duties, that untiring industry which has characterized his past busy life. "As a puhlic man looking after the interest of the country and representing his State in the highest council cham ber of the nation he will always be found wise, patriotic and courageous.

Xo native born citizen can be more jealous of the rights of the American people than will Gen. Sewell prove when he shall become one of the guardians of its honor, and the same valor and good judgment which he manifested upon the battle-field he will show in the "distinguished position to which he has now been called. As a representative of the people of Xew Jersey, entrusted with their interests at Washing ton, be will be faithful, attentive and true to the demands and needs of- the people. Those who know General Sewell, and who hare had intercourse with him in his public life know that his profession of friendship is not a name, and that his promise to serve his constituents is an obligation sacred as an oath. It will be with entire confidence that the men of Jersey can go to their Senator, and with an absolute assurance that their petition will not go into the waste basket; but that to the full extent of their representative's power their request will be secured.

As a Republican Gen. Sewell will be found advanced to the front of the army in its progress, and all the stalwart service that he can render the party consistent with the weliare of his country, Gen. Sewell- will be found prompt to offer when occasion demands. i Gov. Ludlow is the champion para-grapher.

His.iuaugnral address was written in 115 paragraphs. 1 The Bible on which Gov. Ludlow took his inauguration -oath, and the gold pen which he used in subscribing to it, were subsequently presented to Mrs. Gov. Ludlow.

THE Mt Holly Mirror favors the passage of a law which shall give to the jury in capital cases the right to commute to imprisonment for life. The dead-lock on the Senatorship question continues in both Philadelphia and Tennessee. It is not likely that either -Mr. Oliver or Mr. Grow will be chosen.

The Tax bill before the Legislature was taken from the Committe on Municipal Affairs by a vote of the Assembly and sent to the Committee on Ways and Means, of which Hon. H. L. Bonsall is chairman. tate Senator Francis, of Essex, has prepared a lecture which he is delivering this winter the title of which is "Knots and Xote." The Senator is thoroughly competent to dispose of a knotty subject, either in professional.

Lyons, one of the Directors of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, had quite a serious attack of illness shortly after his arrival at Trenton, on Monday.

He was confined to his room for three days but was kindly cared for by his hosts of friends. Gex. Hancock has at last realized the desire of his heart, to be elected to a presidency. The Executive Committee of the National" Rifle Association atstheir annual meeting on Thursday elected him president of that body for the ensuing year. He ought to be satisfied now.

for a year at least. i I The inauguration of Gov. Ludlow on Tuesday passed off very pleasantly, the ceremonies being conducted in the Senate Chamber and the audience limited to its capneity. His address was unusually long, a considerable portion of it being a restatement of what Governor McCIellan had given to the public a week previous. Ex-Governor McClelJan was not a great while in shaking the snow from his feet after being relieved of official care.

He" arrived from Xew York on Tuesday morning, and spent most of the time in Comptroller Anderson's room until the hour of the inauguration ceremonies.
