ONLY one suicide and four murders in South Carolina yesterday.

FLORIDA will cast her eight votes solid for Grant, and will stand byj him solid to the last. _________________________

OUR staunch lieiglibor tlie^Torrc Ilautc Express, is misled by the Chicago Tri-buM,.—-Danville News.

THE anti-Grant men tried to get up a boom at Chicago last night on Bob Ingersoll's oratory but Bob wont, back on them.

IN 1868 Grant carried Indiana by 11,000 majority in 1872, by 23,000 yet our "reduced size" says Grant is a dangerous candidate to nominate for Indiana.

INSTEAD of holding auti-Grant meetings why don't those fellows hold Blaine meetings? You never hear of Grunt men calling anti-Blainc meetings they don't do business in such a cowardly way. Let the Blaine men stand on their affirmative and tight the Chicago battle honorably.

THE Grant and anti-Grant men each held enormous meetings at Chicago last night, and as might be expected, neither was represented by their acknowledged leaders. Tho Grant and Blaino men arc each using considerable tact in tho preliminary skirmishing ou the eve of the grqat battle, and both are confident and buoyant, and are using all their power as to whether or not tlie unit rule shall bo enforced. The showing so far is that Grant has a decided majority of the delegates and will likely be nominated on the first ballot.

IT is understood by ail delegates that they are in duty bound to vote as they have ,'been instructed by their respective State Conventions, atul it is hardly possible that any of them will disregard their instructions. This is the principal reason why the unit rule should be enforced. If the people of^New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois in State Convention assembled, say to their delegates that it is their wish that they vote for Grant, it would not be right for the delegates to be allowed the privilege of voting otherwise lecau$c they not only disobey the wishes of the people, but it opens a way for fraud and corruption, which many would not hesitate to take advantage of.

Ifjthe people of Indiana in convention assembled had instructed their delegates to vote for Grant or Blaine, we do not think any of them after accepting the trust confided in them by the people, should be allowed to violate this trust and surrender their honor.

It is perhaps true in certain instances that the delegates should go into convention uniustructed, and the wishes of the party would often be complied with as well as if they were instructed, but when positive instruction have been given, we think the unit rule ought to be enforced, and whether it is enforced or not. there ought to be enough "manliness and com mon decency in the breast of every delegate to vote the way his people ask him to vote, after putting their trust in him and imposing a confidence in him to do his duty honorably and without fear or favor.

TUB strange ceremony of ploughing around a Tillage in order to drive away the cattle plague recently took place in one of the villages of Russia. The Ru*tky Courier describes it thus: "In the month of March the oat tic plague broke out in the village of Ozersk, in the province of Kalnge, In a few days thirteen cows died, and the peasants were panic stricken. After warm discussions, it was decided to drive out the plague after the manner of our forefathers in similar emergencies that is, by ploughing around the village. *On March 16, at mid night, all the women of the village assembled at a spot, to which were brought the things needed for that half pagan, half christian ceremony, to wit: a holy image, a plough, harness, a bag of sand, and a pail of tar. A strong young woman was harnessed to the plow, and. with the assistance of two other girls, proceeded to pull it along. A young girl carrying the holy image (ikona) headed the procession she was followed by an old woman carrying the sand bag, who threw the sand right and left, the ploughing party trying to cover the sand in ploughing, while the woman with the tar pail besprinkled the soil with tar. A crowd of girls and women followed, each carrying some article with which to make a noise, scythes, tin cans, iron pans, boilers, basins, pokers, and other utensils. Though the noise made was indescribable, and the women's yelling and shouting incessant, they were ineffectual to frighten off the plague spirit, for its ravages in that village are undiminished."

THE Inter Ocean has the following history concerning the unit rule as practiced at Cincinnati, and shows what tho feeling was in that Convention concerning it.

At the Cincinnati Convention 354 delegates out of the 756 voted to enforce the rule, ». e., that the delegates must vote as a unit where the State had instructed them to do so.

The record of that vote is a curious one, and contains tho following points worth stating:

Illinois cast 4 votes in favor of the rule, and those 4 votes were cast by the opponents of Mr, Blaine and the friends of Mr. Bristow. They are now, so far as we know, crying at the top of their lungs against the enforcement of that rule in the Chicago Convention.

Connecticut, good old steady State, gave 9 votes in favor of the rule and 3 against it

Indiana, that seems to think the unit rule such an outrage now, on that occasion cast 29 votes for it and but 1 against it.

Michigan, cast 10 votes for it and 4 against it. Nebraska, gave its whole 6 votes for it.

Ohio gave 30 votes for the same infamous rule and but 14 against it. Pennsylvania couldn't even rally the 4 "Independent" votes against it, and cast 57 fur the rule and but 1 against it.

Little Rhode Island gave 7 votes for it and but 1 against it. Vermont divided even, 5 for and 5 against.

The fact is, the States that wanted Blaine, all voted against the rule, because they wished to gain the 4 votes from Pennsylvania, which would go to him if tho rule was not enforced. As Blaine's friends only lacked 28 votes of a majority on the last ballot., and as some of those who voted for Hayes were really friends of Blaine, but "went with the break," it is plain to see why the unit rule was not sustained at Cincinnati. The point we wish to call attention to, however, is that the so-called reformers of the convention voted almost unanimously to sustain the rule. Were they all that is good and pure and beautiful then when they sustained the rule, while those who do the same thing now are scoundrels and machine politicians of the deepest dj-c?

THE delegates wear badges. The neatest badgo is the one worn by the Illinois delegation, which reads "For Grant—Let us have peace." The New Yorkers wear a modest blue badge of crossed blue silk, with gilt letters, "New York." The Blaine badges are white, the Grant badges white and blue, and the Sherman badge is red.

ALABAMA will be the first State called on to ballot, and will give its twenty votes solid for the hero of Appomattox, from the first to the last. It was instructed to do so, and authorized to declare vacant the seats of any delegates who refused to vote as directed.

THE anti Grant fellows had a monkoy show at Indianapolis lost night, "GENERAL MILO IlascALL proprietor," was present and made a speech. They got Major Gonlonup for a speech, but he proved not to betliat kind of a cat.

JAY GOITLD has placed a telegraph line at the disposal of Blaine, and since last Sutfday Blaine has manipulated his own canvas from Washington. Blaine works the key at one end and Bill Chandler at the other.

Two hundred anti Grant bummers from New York, arrived at Chicago yesterday, wearing badges labeled: "Stalwart Republicans Against a Third Term."

WE clip the following from the

Inter

Ocean as it expresses our ideas in the Whittaker case and the. West Point business completely: "The finding of the West Point court of inquiry in the case of Cadet Whittaker,

that he is guilty of the assault iffcon him self and of self-mutilation, will surp nobody who has noted the progress or the 60-called trial. While, nominally, Whittaker was upon trial, the entire manage ment of the National Military Academy was arraigned before the bar of public opinion, and the triers throughout their gy upon trial. Their finding now is but that attempt at their own acquittal which was fore shadowed from the outset. But it falls very far short of anything of the sort. Their finding cannot be separated from the manifest prejudice with which the inquiry was conducted, and the fact that it was necessary to their own vindication that he be found guilty. Whether it be accepted as true or false, it does not conceal that his treatment by cadets and faculty was unchristian, and not merely unbecoming officers a^p gentlemen, but was inspired by tho meanest of the feelings of caste bred of the barbarism of slavery. It does not conceal that the persecution and indignities put upon him were not stopped by the authorities, but were, if not tolerated, quietly condoned. The trial proves nothing as to Whittaker that can satisfy those who favor fair play but it establishes very conclusively that the Academy needs to be purged of much incompatible with the character of gentlemen and officers

proceedings plainly betrayed that the: felt the}-, themselves, were upon trii

Miss Jieilson's Jewels Sold at Public Sale. There was quite a little flutter in the audience when Mr. Kirby announced that the jewels would be put up and sold for what they would bring. There were seventeen pieces—mostly gifts of unknown persons, passed over the footlights at benefits and farewell performances. The first thing offered was a gold bracelet, set with a whole pearl and rose diamonds, which was sold for $52: another gold bracelet, with one diamond and fifteen pearls, $66 a cat's eye ring, set with twelve diamonds, $80 a pair oi rich ear-rings, two large pearls and twenty-two diamonds, $240 gold bracelet, Egyptian pattern, $27 pearl and diamond lace pin, $35 diamond star, set in silver, $125 a wide gold bracelet, with the word "Souvenir" set in diamonds. $180. This ornament had Miss Neilson's name engraved inside, with the quotation, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," and a couplet in French a pendant of diamonds, pink coral and peails, $67.50 a ring, large sapphire and diamonds, $445 a gold ring, set with a diamond and emeralds, $58 rose diamond and colored pearl lace pin, $47.50 pair turquoise ear-rings, set with diamonds, $320 handsome bracelet to match, $210 Dearl ring, set with diamonds. $117 a bracelet of pearls and diamonds, which the auctioneer announced was a gift from the Countess of Dudley to Miss Neilson, $180. The finest piece in the sale was a pendant, two large black pearls set with diamonds. It was valued at $5,000, and was not to be sold unless a bid upward of $2,500 was made. As there was no offer it was withdrawn. The total amount realized by the jewels was $2,087, which was not half their value. Tho purchasers of the jewels, with two exceptions, were dealers. The curtain is rung down for tho last time, and the play is over.

The Power of the Cyclone. In discussing the two cyclones which visited the Bay of Bengal October 1876, Mr Elliot, meteorological reporter to the..-Government of Bengal, incidentally gives some idea of the cycloean forces which are developed by such stonns. The average "daily evaporation" registered by the Bengal instruments in October is "two inches." The amount of heat absorbed by the conversion of this amount of water daily over so large an area as the Bay of Bengal is enormous. "Roughly estimated," said Mr. Elliot, "it is equal to the continuous working power of 300,000 steam enginesof 1,000 horse power." A simple calculation will show that it suffices to raise aloft. 45,000 cubic feet of water in twenty-four hours from square mile of the bosom of the bay, and transport it to tho clouds which overhang it. When we extend the calculation from Ja single square mile to the area of this whole Indian Gulf, the mind is lost in the effort to conceive the force which, in a day's time, can lift 20,000,000 tons! Yet it would be easy to show that such figures, fabulous as they seem, do not adequately represent the cyclonic forces of a single storm.—London Timet.

At the recent royal marriage at Windsor Castle, Queen Victoria, while passing Lord Beaconsville on her way out, "unbeknown" to any one as it were, gave his hand a little sympathetic squeeze. It was done in the kindest and most considerate manner possible. That Lord Beaconsville is a great favorite with Her Majesty is sufficiently demonstrated by the fact of his full-length portrait in oil being hung at Windsor Castle exactly op-

At the cremation chapel in Gotha, the only public place for cremation ir Germany, the remains of one Stier were burnt recently, in accordance with his last will and testament. The burial service of the Protestant Episcopal church was performed, as prescribed by the church authorities in Gotha. The body -was first conveyed to a sort of chapel or hall and placed over a particular spot. A hymn was then sung a sermon was preached and a choral chanted by a choir of boys, after which the body was lowered into the furnace to slow music, the clergyman pronouncing the blessing, "Earth to earth was of course not reci ted. Friends of the deceased were al lowed to make speeches. The vault, a low aad narrow apartment, filled with gas previously ignited, was heated to an extraordinary degree. In one hour the coffin ana body were consumed. In another two hours the vault had sufficient ly cooled down to allow of the mourners entering and collecting the* ashes in urns, which were deposited in an adjoining columbarium. In the funeral sermon tlie clergyman declared that there could be ne objections to cremation on the nart of the Protestant church, although ft was true that the custom ceased and burial took its place when Christianity began to prevail, about a thousand years ago.
