Si’HiNOFJELD, 111., November (>.—Governor Oglesby’s mail in the anarchist case was larger this morning than ever before. Thegreater part of these wore from Chicago, and<«uvernor Ogh‘sby this afternoon informed the asso ciated press representative that while there were many demands that the sentence be carried out, the proportion of tho requests for commutation |were decidedly larger than on any previous day. As a matter of fact, said the governor, tho pleas fur clem ency have always been somewhat greater than tho requests for non-interference, but this morning the proportion was somewhat greater than usual. Governor Oglesby, upon being asked by the reporter whether he had had any callers to day, said: “No, 1 have seen no one today. I have spent nearly the w hole day at home and have been very busy. Delegations, I presume, will begin to come in tomorrow and next day, and when they do I purpose to receive them all in the reception room at the capitol. Everybody’ w ill be accorded a patient hearing, ami the case will be iinally disposed of just as all other ca es of like character have been in the past.” Numerous telegrams have been received by tho governor, (luring the day, most of them from Chicago. Their tenor cannot be learned, other than that one of them was from a promi nent Chicago capitalist, who favors executive clemency. There is little doubt that the gov ernor is, at this time, receiving communica tions from an unusually large number of mon eyed men of the country, who recommend a commutation of the sentence. Some of these gentlemen waive all questions as to the law’ and justice of ihe c.i e. ami simply favor eleim ncy on grounds of public policy, insisting that it is better to send the condemned men to tho penitentiary for life than it is to allow them to become professed inarty rs by suffering the death penalty. 'DIE GOVERNOR HEA.RH THE NEWS. Governor Oglesby was thunder struck when be received the news tonight of the finding of tho bombs in l.ingg’s cell. He read and reread the dispatch, and a (-loud of gloom and mu imy swept over his face, as the full import us the information dawned upon him. “I can say nothing,” said he tothoassociated pre s representative, “I must say nothing w h.itevei- in regard to this matter.” it has just transpired tonight that Governor Oglesby has, within the past few’ days, receiv ed several communications threatening vio lence if he refus' s to exercise executive clem ency in behalf us the condemned anarchists.

Washington, November 6.—Now that the anarchist case has been disposed of by the su preme court, the cases of greatest interest upon which its decision is awaited at present are the Bell telephone case and the pfohibition cases from Kansas and lowa. Those who hope to see tlie supreme court decide against the prohibition statutes, manifest singular con fidence in a satisfactory outcome, A gentleman, who is well informed re garding the cases which have been submit ted to the court, gives an interesting explana tion of the reasons for tliis confidence of the anti-prohibitionists. It appears they believe the supreme court has already given evidence, in a decision rendered last year, that at least half of its members are ready to sustain the point made against the constitutionality of the Kansas and lowa statutes, in the case of Schmidt against Cobb [reported iu volume 119, page 28(1, of the supreme court reports,] precise ly the same principle presented iu tho pending Kansas cases were before the supreme court, Tho case camo up from the United States circuit court for the northern district of lowa, the question before the supreme court being whether or not the circuit had erred in refusing to remove the original case, begun in the Irnva state courts, to the United Stab s court. Schmidt was a retail liquor seller, proceeded against under the lowa statute, and he sought to remove liis case to tho United States court under tho fourteenth amendment, on the ground that lie was about to be deprived ot his property without duo pro cess of law. The court, after a full hearing of the case, however, remanded it to the state courts upon the ground that there was no federal question involved, Schmidt then took his appeal to tho supreme court, and after a fiiil'hcaring the court affirmed tho decree below, by a divided bench. The anti-prohibitionists construe this action of the supreme court—although the case of Schmidt vs. Cobb was not heard upon its mer its—as indicating that four members of the court believed the lowa statute unconstitu tional in destroying tho business of a retail liquor seller, w ithout providing a means of compensating liim for the damage suffered. They think the principle presented in two of tiie eases since then—brought up from Kan sas and submitted to tho supremo court before tlie close of its last term—present the same principle so mm h more strongly that a favora ble decision this time is certain. Tlie situation is this: The Schmidt case was heard in lowa by Judge Brewer, upon tlie ap plication for removal, ami remanded to the state court upon the ground that a retail liquor seller does business only by the license of the state, and that such a license can unques tionably be revoked at will. later, tlie case ot Herman Ziebold and Joseph Hagelin, Kan sas brewers, camo before Judge Brewer, upon a similar application for removal from the Kansas state courts. Upon a hearing of the application the removal was ordered, a plea in abatement made by the state, that no federal question was presented, being overruled. Judge Brewer then tried the case upon its merits, tlie state having renewed its prayer to have the brewery shut up as a nuisance, and, after a full hearing, dismissed the state’s bill. An appeal was then taken on the part of the state to the supremo court of the United States. I u his decision npor. tlie Ziebold and llage lin case Judge Brewer, following tho line of his reasoning in the lowa case, decided that wliilo the state could prevent the sale of liq uor, which was a mere privilege granted by license, it could not similarly put a stop to tho manufacture of liquor which was canned on as a matter of right; or, at least, could not do so, without providing proper compensation for tlio datnago suffered. Tho ami-prohibi tionists now sav that even if the .supremo court should divide again, as it did before, they will S"Curo a victory this time, as a divided court would again affirm the de cision of Judge Brewer, which was, in this case, against tho stato statute. They are hopeful, however, that some of the judges w ho could not hold tho destruction of a liquor seller’s business a violation of article 14, w ill take a different view as to the destruction of a liquor manufacturer’s business. In other words, they rest all their hopes on the distinc tion between tlie one doing business and tlio other by right. OUR OwiTcOLUMN. W» send out every week over 120,000 papers.

London, October 29.—The world may soon hear of the death of that great-heated English . ..he.rpine t .Eloreiifio Nightingale. Though mtn tally as brilliant as she ever was in her better days, she has never been physically sound since she was prostrated by a severe fever in 1830, while nursinng the Crimea’s wounded soldiers wounded soldiers in the hospital on the Bos phorus. For years she has maintained lier Courage against great odds, hut tlie struggle is nearly over. Her long and beneficent life is drawing to a close. The Right Honorable Sir Harry Varney, the well known nopLew of Miss Nightingale, tells me that his beloved and honored relative is critically ill and has lang been confined a pris oner in her home at No. 10 South street, Park Lane. She is dying from the direct conse quences of the fever contracted in the Crimea. It is a genal failing of tho system, a wasting away from the effects of her perilous labors during the days in which she devoted her life to the soldiers wounded in battle. And vet Miss Nightingale, though very much of a suiferer at times, is remarkably patient through it all, and gives the few friends who are allow to see her an example of Christian fortitude quite as remarkable as her courageous charity and benevolence in the past. Her home in Park Lane is handsomely furnished, and contains countless rare and valable gifts pre sented to her by her admirers after her return from the Crimean war. There are also innu merable letters from people of prominence the world over, and various mementoes of her friendship with the conspicuous characters in Europe and America who have been proud of their acquaintance with this remarkable wo man. These testimonials of tlie reverence in w hich the whole world holds her are very precious to the venerable lady, but more for tho sake of the givers than from any feeling of pride. She is modesty itself. Her intimate friendships have been illustri ous. Her natural hatred of wrong and tyranny led Miss Nightingale to espouse tho cause of right and progress. During the civil war in America her sympathies were warmly with tlio northern side in the struggle, and in the long contest which has been going on for the liber ation of Ireland, her active sympathies have gone out to the home rule cause. John Bright, Gladstone and all the liberal leaders of Eng land have long been her ardent friends. She is a great admirer of America and its institu tions, believing firmly in the theory of self-gov ernment. For many years she was on the closest terms of friendship with Henry Ward Beecher, and nothing for a long time so affect ed the venerable lady as the news of his death. The character of Abraham Lincoln she regards as one of the grandest in history. It is but natural therefore, that no [tributes to Florence Nightingale’s worth have been more eloquent than those which have come from America. The late President Garfield once said in addressing a class of young ladies: “Emulate the example of Florence Nightin gale that charity angel of modern times, whose fair and historic name is enshrined in the hearts of all mankind, for ages yet unborn will sing the glory of her proud renown.’’ Equally eloquent Irave been the praises of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher, George D. Prentice, Mr. Talmage, Helen Hunt Jackson, ami scores of others. When this eminent lady passes from earth England would not consent to her remains resting anywhere but in the nation’s pantheon, Westminister Abby. Not only would England demand this honor for tlie Crimea’s heroine; but. England’s queen, who has always treated her with marked consideration andtrue friend ship, would order it done. And there is little doubt that Miss Nightingale’s learned friend, Canon Farra, would conduct the public serv ices. This is tho only proper resting place for one who lias filled such a place in tho worshipful regard of not only England, but the world. The poor and distressed thousands of this crowded city will lose their truest friend and benefactor when Florence Nightingale is dead. Her life has been a wonderful chapter of self-sacrifice. She was born in Florence, Italy, May 3,1820, and carefully educated by her father, William Nightingale of Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, England. For many patient years she trained herself in the hospitals of England and Germany for the duties of attending on the sirk, but it was not till 1854 that the great mission of her life appeared to open before her. The hospitals of tlie Crimea, to which Briton’s brave men were removed from the battlefields, were horribly managed. Something had to bo done, ami I he courageous Florence Nightingale undertook the task. With a corps of trained women she wont boldly to the front, where her talent and energy soon brought order out of chaos and brought her the undying blessings of the sick and wounded, and gained her a fame that will never grow dim. With her usual benevolence she offered to charity the magnificent fund ot £30,000 which grateful England raised as a reward for serv ices. But she still lias the gorgeous cross set w ith diamonds which the queen sent her, and the bracelets set with brilliants that was pre sented by tho Sultan of Turkey. For many years her health has made it impossible for Miss Nightingale to take an active part in deeds of charity, but she has wiitten much and taught others how to carry out her benevolent plans. One of the most beautiful and touching things in Miss Nightingale’s busy life has been her intimacy with Jenny Lind. Though be ginning their missions in widely different spheres, these two great spirits have been drawn together bv the loadstone of benevo lence, and pursued their charitable career hand in hand. It was nearly the same time when Florence Nightingale started to nurse the wounded in the Crimean war that Jenny Lind loft to charm America with her ■wonderful voice. After years of unobtrusive charities, Jenny Lind, hopelessly paralyzed, is awaiting the approach of death, while her illustrious friend, the great exemplar of organized public benevolence, is sinking to her last sleep. There is but one year’s difference iu their ages, and both will probably bo consigned to eternity to gether, as they have loved and acted together in their beautiful and historic lives. •— What Did It? It often happens that, when we have been doctoring for a new ailment, to our surprise some old complaint suddenly disappears, and we are at a loss to account for it. Wo cannot say whether it was tho medicine we had taken or whether it was the change produced in us bv the effort nature made to cast off our disease, ami by the old of some medicine reach ing the nerve centres and thus revitalizing tho svsteni. Tlie following are two very remark able cases, that seem almost wonderful to be true: The first is from Mrs. Sarah Fisher, of Fishertown, Indian Territory, dated January 21, 1886: “I have completely recovered from erysipelas and rheumatism by the use of your Compound Oxygen Treatment. I threw away mycrutclies three months ago—and now can walk as well as any one. We have a large store here, and do a great deal of business, and some days they get so pushed that I have to go in and help. The people are all surprised to see me looking so well, after being so low and crippled. I toll them Compound Oxygen did it for me.” The following statement is by a mother, who writes from Plainfield, New Jersey, about her child, who has not yet finished her growth : • We have tried Compound Oxygen with good results, wo think, iu tho case of our daughter. For four years the right litnb was shorter than the other, and xve had to have her wear a cork shoe. Within two weeks past we have found tho limbs at the feet to be of the same length : have bought tho ordinary shoes, and she walks as well and even better than during tho latter part of her wearing tho high shoes.' Whether this is a direct result of the Compound Oxygen I cannot say; but it certain ly looks to be. Her general health is so much iinproved from the autumn, when she began the Treatment. I desire to continue it, and trust to see even greater results. 1 request you. therefore, to send at your earliest con venience a second course of your Homo Treat ment.” , , .
