Senator McDonald on the Sit
uation.
Senator MoDonald, of Indiana, for
whom we have great personal and po
litical regard, was interviewed in Wash
ington the other day by a reporter of
;he Post, and to the several interroga
tories replied as follows:
“What is your opinion, now Senator,
as to the political effect of the recent
extra session ?”
“The political effect of the extra ses
sion is beneficial to the Democratic par
ty,” answered the Senator, very deci
sively. “It has called the attention of
the public to the enormity of the Fed
eral election laws, to the power they con
fer upon the Administration to control
elections, and the frauds that may bo
wrpetrated upon the ballot-box under
he color of legal authority. I have no
doubt that the honest masses every
where will repudiate these laws and the
men who upheld and supported them.
Indiana will express her condemnation
of them at the first opportunity by in
creased Democratic majorities. The
extra uession has in another way bene-
fitted and strengthed the Democratic
party. Ithas ojearly and. distinctly
drawn the line of demarcation between
the Democratic party, standing upon
ita anoient doctrines of a strict construc
tion of the Constitution, preserving to
the Federal Government all its just
rights and powers, and securing to the
States and to the people all their, reserv
ed rights, and the Republican party, the
representative of the Federal idea of
consolidation. The more clearly you
define the difference between federal
ism and democraoy to the people of
this country the. stronger you make the
Democratic party. The extra session
has led to a clear definition of these
two opposing ideas of our Government,
and yet there is no doubt, in my mind,
as to which one of them the people
will approve.”
“Then you believe in future Demo
cratic success ?”
“I do. The Democratic party stands
on better ground now than it has occu
pied since the war; it has a more hope
ful future before it. The finanoial ques
tions are gradually settling themselves;
so that by the time the Presidential
campaign opens they will hot'ereatt
any serious difference in the Democrat
io party, while the high conservative
stand it has taken has increased public
confidence in the patriotic aims and
purposes. I believe confidently that
we will win the Presidential election
next year. All the influences are op
erating in our favor, and our party is
growing stronger every day.”
“What do you think about the Ohio
election?” \
“I believe Ewing will be elected. All
the information I’ve had, together with
my own observation, lead me to that
conclusion. The only danger Ewing
had to apprehend was the hard-money
Democrats in Southern Ohio, but they
are supporting him cordially,, and he
will be elected.”
“Have you read John Shermans
Maine speeoh ?”
“Yes; and I wouldn’t make such a
speech as that for any consideration.
He talks about the Democratic party
indorsing secession and nullification.
He knows that is not true. The Demo
cratic party has always been the enemy
of seoession and nullification, and of
extreme State rights in every form. It
stands now, and always has, upon Jef
ferson’s declaration in his inaugural ad
dress, upon a strict construction of the
Constitution—upholding the delegated
rights of the Union and maintaining
the reserved rights of the States. So
cession and nullification hod their on
gin in New England, and Democraay
put them down. The Democracy put
down nullification in South Carolina,
and that is its record.”
Prison Gush and GallowB Ex
hortations.
Referring to the ostentatious profes-
>n of religion by notorious malefactors
doomed to the gallows, the New York
Tribune says “it is cokntnon to read of
culprits confessing their guilt and their
piety in the same truraphant breath on
the scaffold, and a little while ago a
man hanged in the West for a murder
of peculiar atrocity said that he was
about to ’go to Jcsas,’ and earnestly be
sought his hearers in the jail yard to be
come good, so that they could meet him
in Heaven. Such exhibitions ought to
be prevented. A murderer may indeed
become a Christian, but he ought not
to be allowed to become a moral or re-
ligiouB exhorter. The condition of
Chastine Cox’s soul is a matter between
himself and his Maker, and he should
be compelled to keep stiff about it. So
of Mrs. Smith’s and Bennett’s devotions.
There seems to be something ih the re
lation of a condemned murderer to so
ciety that ,makes him a sort of hero in
the minds, of the morbid and senti
mental, and it is difficult to see why he
Bhould not be prevented from seeing
gabbling visitors, and prohibited from
making a harangue on the scaffold or
saying anything whatever, except to the
Sheriff or priest. Sympathetic and
ejmqtipnAl peqple succeed in surround
ing the murderer with a little halo of
glory, sending him floWers, and food,
and luxuries, while the innocent poor,
perhaps even the children of his vietim,
are permitted to suffer unrelieved. It
is time prison gush and gallows exhort
ations were abolished altogether.”

Standing beside the coffin of tne Pru
Imperial, her Majesty's mind no doubt
reverted to the visit Bhe paid years ago
to the Invalides in company with Napo
leon III., and which she thus noted in
her diary: After expressing surprise at
“the nephew of England’s bitterest
foe and I granddaughter of the Kin |
who most vigorously opposed him,
standing together by the tomb of the
First Emperor, the Queen went on to

A hen-house thief in Pensacola, as he
was leaving the premises with his hands
fuff of chickens, was suddenly surprised
by the owner. On being accosted b~
that gentleman a brilliant thought struc!
him. He began rubbing his eyes, af
fecting surprise, and asked in a dazed
sort of manner:
“Where am I ?"
The proprietor seeing through the
dodge merely remarked:
"Oh, I see you are a somnambulist,
Well, come along with ine.”
Tbe thief thought he was being guid
ed out by the kind-hearted gentleman,
and would soon be at liberty; but in a
few moments found that he was being
conducted to jail. He then began beg
ging for his release in suoh piteous
;ones that his oaptor finally consented
to let him go on one condition—that he
would never indulge in sleep-walking
again,
The streets of London, England, have
been recently placarded with an adver
tisement stating that “the art of begging
is exhaustively taught in six lessons by
Professor Lazarus Rooney, who begs to
to inform the public that he has founded
a college for theoretical instruction in
mendicancy.” Among other practical
appliances for the profession the Pro
fessor announces that he keepB on hand
artificial wounds and sores, assorted
braoea of twins, trained dogs for blind
men, crutches for cripples, and surgical
bandages for wounded imposters. In

May heaven bless and prosper it!
Aaron Smith led a mob that hanged
George Moor, at Carlisle, Ind., and was
complimented by his comrades for ms
boldness in that outrage. A few nights
afterward, a party of Mn-lovinff young
men dragged him out of his Md, put a
rope around his neck, and told him that
his hour hsfflflwSaiby would have
been puzzled to, answer if he had asliod
them what he hod done to displease
them; but, to their astonishment, he oon-
lar man that he was before this trial of
his qualities,

Troy.N. Y., August 5.—A bloody
street affray occurred here this afternoon
between three brothers, named Dwyer,
on one side, and three friends of a fam
ily on the other. The latter party was
armed and : began the assatflt. AH' three
Dwyer brothers were stabbed, one fatal
ly and the others dangerously. 1 The as
sailants escaped, but the entire police
force of the first prednot is in pursuit of
them. The affray was the result of-
ldngstanding family feud.
Washington Post: Their balance' of
the Radical fund raised to siibsidizo the
OkolonaStdte3 and National View has
been devoted to the conversion of a
small greenback organ in Maino to the
Republican faith. If the Radicals con
tinue this polioy, they will soon find
that they have a large contract on hand.
