Pottkk seema to be holding the New York democracy up by the tail. * ' The way the New York returna hang back in a bad sign. If any doctored diatricta turn up in the future, it need not be surprising. A new broom aweepn clean. If the judges of the courts will co-operate with the new county commissioners, conaidermble reduction may be made in county expenses. _ If the democrats had any sense they would settle on Bayard and McDonald, or Bayard and English for their presidential ticket, and thus forestall presideift-makrng in the coming congress. This seems the season of railroad accidents. They hare occurred in the last thirty days with appalling frequency and fatality. If the responsible person in any one case were sentenced to hard labor for IMt, this sort of crime would diminish. Dakota and Utah are going to cool their heels in the halls of state this winter while their petitions to come in are meted upon. They both claim sufficient population to be entitled to admission as states, Dakota boasting 120.000—about as much as Marion county—and for this they want two senators. The scratching republicans in New York, the men who had the courage of their convictions, will very easily hold the baiance of power in “the pivotal state,” and will get the respect hext year they are entitled to. There are enough of such men in Indiana to turn the election, and they will have to be taken into account.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has information that able republican managers are at work in the south to “fix" Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina and one or two other states, for Hayes or Sherman. Interviews with the personages declare that either of these two men could carry at least four southern states, because of Hayes’s policy in letting them, in common with other states of the Union, man* age their own affair^ As A distinguished general and the foremost citizen of the republic, The News is ready to do Gen. Grant all possible honor. But it can not accept the doctrine that be is the only man out of fifty millions of the bravest and shrewdest people the werld ever held, who is capable of saving or sustaining a government solidly fixed in the minds and hearts of the people,and of preserving a liberty that is the heritage of ages of thought and struggle. The hope of this country is not pinned to any one man, however brave and talented he may be.
Butler says the Massachusetts election shows that the Abbott democracy has no chance of being recognized by the na. tional democratic convention, and furtherxnore, that the democratic party as a distinct party, is to all intents and purposes wiped out of existence. This foreshadows the row that will come to the national democratic convention. There will be two delegations from Massachusetts as well as New York. Disputes in a few more states as to which faction is the genuine original Jacob Townsend democracy, might suggest the advantage it would be to all parties far the concern to end its existence.
In reply to the assertion in the North American Review that General Robert Anderson, while in Sumter, was waiting only for the action of Kentucky, declaring his allegiance due her, his widow enters a vehement denial.

dieted authoritatively, for the country can not afford to have a stain resting upon the reputation of this brave defender. Yota Uncle Richard Thompson is about the only member of the administration who hasn't been on the •tump this fall. All the others have been earning their salaries “barking it up” for ihs party.—[Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald. There is more spite than sense in this comment. It is not incompatible with the dignity of the place nor with the theory of a i*erfect civil service,for cabinet ministers to take the stump for their party. They are the chosen advisers of a president, and are supposed te be represents live men of the party which elects him. In non-essen-tials all administrations must be partisan; that they shall be partisan in no more than this is all the most ardent reformer asksCabinet officers by their nature arechanged with every administration, counting as an administrative change the election of a new man to the presidency. They have no tenure of office that rests upon anything but the individual preferenceA molded as they may be by political necesfity, of the man who is president. There is no exigency of government service that demands their continuance as it does the continuance of every mau in the aervice. whose duties are clerical and not administrative. They are the administrators chosen by the chief administrator. There was nothing inconsistent with what a government service ought to be in Messn. Evarts and Sherman speaking in the New York campaign. Those who approved of the objection to that performance, caught'its fpree very faintly if they supposed it was because of any incompatibility with this administration’s civil-service reform efforts, or with a model civil service. It was personal entirely. It was the humiliating spectacle of dirt-eating. - ♦ - — The Journal’s critic is the same little idiot who was howling all this time for a single gold standard. We have heard little of his single standard lately.—[Journal. We said yesterday, that at the first turn of financial affairs the Journal would hasten to make a fool of itself. But we didn’t expect it to do this in its next issue. It actually doesn’t know that the resumption of specie payments and the whole of the immense business of this country for a year or more, has rested upon the single gold standard! That the single gold standard of one hundred cents to the dollar is the one and the only one upon which all values are computed to-day. That the effort to force depreciated silver dollars upon the country and make them a measure of value, has been a flat failure. That they are worth to-day 90 cents (gold measure) and are. piling up in the treasury vault because the people will not transact their business with them. In the name of knowledge we beg it to be silent on this subject. It is a disgrace to the intelligence of Indianapolis that one of its newspapers should be so grossly ignorant. In this connection we beg to call its attention to the fact that it does not dispute its opposition to resumption, but inflicts its readers with a reprint of the major part ef one of its fearful financial articles to no other purpose than to substantiate the assertion of The News. It requotes itself as follows: We do not see that remonetization will enable ns to resume when there la no sale for bonds. It esn’t be done, and no one knows it better than the secretary of the treasury. We trust he will be honest enough and bold enough to say so to congress at once. If that isn’t opposing resumption, in the name of outraged syntax, what is it? It is folly for the Jeurnal to attempt now to deny its constant flopping on all financial questions, nor can it cover it by resorting to personal abuse and mudthrowing, a method which only makes its paucity of brains and lack of convictions more apparent.
CL’IUUCNT COMMKNT. Ingersoll, it is said, receives about a letter a day from country clergymen, challenging him to a discussion of religious questions It jvill strike most people that if the clergymen aforesaid attended strictly to the command with which they were sent forth, they would find little time to argue with Ingersoll’s. Bristow takes ne part iu politics, but wants Sfcerman for president. He has plenty of cam; any. Russia’s debt amounts to $3,180,448,024, an increase this year of nearly four hundred million of dollars. The average republican sentiment in Washington, the Star says, is that failure to carry the whole New York state ticket makes the victory very incomplete. Some democrats hope that gleams of rense may appear for the majority in congress this winter. The prospect is not flattering. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: > Advices received here from democratic leaden of high national repute, especially Irom southern public men, leave no doubt that a broadly national and conservative course will lie the democratic policy the coming winter. Zealots will be made to take back teats. Passionate declaration, tropical rhetoric and sectional recrimination will be severely set down upon. Such safe and conserva- ' tire leaders as Bayard, Whyte, Keruan, Randolph, Gordon, Lamar and Ransom will demonstrate that the democracy of all sections are anxious for a cordial alignment with the national feeling, the character, capital and respectability of thecouutry. The republican* will be furnished with no more cam; afgn thundei in the shape of foolish utierarers of excited oratory addressed to backwoods audlcners at home rather than to the intelligence of congress and the country.
Certain it is that such a division of the country is one which cannot fail.to make men not entirely carried away by party passion, and the exbileration of party triumph, at least anxious for the future peace of the country, and for the perpetuity of those inatitutions which make up the very essence of our system of government. When party lines are drawn so sharply on territorial lines it cannot augur good, or the_ precedents of history are belied.—[Detroit News.
An unknown wretch hurled an egg at General Grant at Galesburg, Illinois, Tuesday night. The ruffian ought to be given a life sentence in the penitentiary, if caught. —[Lafayette Journal.’
It would be difficnlt to say with which party,; as at present constituted and led, the currency, the tariff, national supremacy, states’ rights and civil service reform would be safest. But we know that on all these questions Bayard has a strong claim to public support. We know that what is called stalwartism iu the republican party, if it is allowed to govern, will ignore the most important demands of the public.—[Louisville Poet'and News.

Bis Views of the Grant Boom and the Kelly Bolt. [filterview in Glebe Democrat. | “What do you think of the Grant boom?" “Ob, 1 have but one opinion about that; if Grant wants the nomiaation of his party he will get it” “How about THden?" ‘The election in New York I consider has settled the question of his candidacy. The tight between the two factious (Tammany and Tilden) was a square up-and-up issue, and Tilden got beat” “Tilden could not carry New York then, in case of his nomination by the democracy ?” “If he couldn’t do it on Tuesday he won’t be able to do any better in 1880. They'll never be able to patch up matters in a respectable way between Tilden and Kelly. The latter will never consent.” “Who was to blame for the bolt? ’ “Well, 1 can’t say; but it certainly was a great mistake to antagonize a political power that has since shown the strength the vote Kelly received demonstrates. The* democratic readers should have known better. “Your idea then is that Kelly is not the kind of a man to be fooled wiibr’ . “Decidedly, a power such as he has shown himself to hold should be conciliated, not contested. It is too dangerous an experiment for any man with the good of bis party to attempt” During the interview the senator expressed himself hopeful of an active and useful session of the national government this witter, when he expected there would be less sectional and more national legislation attended
How Hooker Got HU Commission. [New York Herald.] Joe Hooker arrived in New York in May, 1861, at the time when the whole country was clamorous for war. A curious incident is mentioned in connection with his application for appointment to the army on this occasion. He had made the usual formal application for a commission and had been refused. Partially disgusted he determined to return again to California, but decided first to call at the White house and pay his respects to Mr. Lincoln. He was introduced by some mistake as Captain Hooker, when the American Cincinnatus made the following remark to the president: “Mr. President, 1 was introduced to you as Captain Hooker, I am or was, Lieutenant Colonel Hooker, of the reealar army. When the wdr began 1 was at home in California, and hastened to make a tender of my services to the government; but my relations to General Scott or some other impediment stands in the way, and I see no chance of making riy military knowledge and experience useful. I am about to return, but before going I was anxious to pay my respects to you and to express my wish for your personal welfare and for your success in putting down this infernal rebellion. And I want, while I am at it, to say one thing more. I was at Bull Run the other day, Mr. president, and it is no vanity or boasting in mo to say that I am a better general than you, sir, had on that field.” Mr. Lincoln, in relating the occurence subsequently, said: “His eye was steady and clear, bis manner rot half so confident as his words, and altogether he had the air of a man of sense and intelligence, who thoroughly believed in hftnself, and ^ho would at least try to make his words good. I was impressed with him. and, rising out of my chair, walked up to him, and, putting my hand on his shoulder, said: ‘Colonel, not Lieutenant Colonel Hooker, stay. I have use for you and a regiment for you to command,’
Dr. Haddington Slowly Dying. [New York special.] Physicians say that the Rev. Dr. W. Ives Buddington, the well known Brooklyn Congregational minister, can not live through the year, as the malignant cancer, which caused him to abandon the pulpit and has for over two years rendered him an invalid, has «ow complete possession of his system, and defies all surgical and medical skill. The whole lower part of his face is now covered with a cancerous growth, and the poison of the disease has eaten through the lower jaw bone. A council of physicians was recently held to consider the feasibility of removing the lower jaw bone to arrest the disease, but as the cancer had doubtless poisoned his blood so that its reappearance was but a question of time, it was determined not to add to the patient’s agony and to the mutilation of his face. Dr. Budington is now scarcely recognizable bv those who knew him. He spends most of his time in a darkened room in meditation. His present condition, he says, is far worse than death, and to die would be to be relieved.
Good Solid Talk. [Rockville Tribune.] We are not ready to admit that this country is flat on its back and in danger of another rebellion; and we do not purpose to be scared into voting for a military director on any such grounds. On the contrary we do steadfastly believe that eighteen years of republican rule have brought this country into a position where it is the envy of nations and the light of the world. America is in a better fix to-day than at any time since Columbus landed. The old South will have after 1880, not more than one-fourth of the votes. Who cares a continertal whether they “repent of treason” or not! Let them growl while we grow. There are more able-badied men west of the Missonri and north of Texas than in all the old southern confederacy. There is more good land in Kansas and Nebraska that in all the South east of the Mississippi. What we want now, and all we want, is to keep the ship of state headed right in its present course. Let us have a statesman and financier for president instead of a soldier, and our future is assured.
, Tit for Tat. - [New York special.]* They (the democrats) are going to select their presidential electors in Florida and Louisiana by their legislatures. That will set us a precedent which we will follow inj New‘York.” That quoted paragraph appeared here in a Washingtou dispatch to the Tribune. In the case of Clarkson N. Potter, who is elected lieutenant governor, there appears to be a wide spread feeling that all democrats may unite on him next year without sacrifice of honor or feeling. In that event it was said it is the intention of republican leaders to obviate all party anger by passing a law authorizing the present republican legislature to appoint presidential electors for 1880, which it is claimed may be done in accordance with existing laws and the constitution.
Tammany aad the Bepabllcans. [New York Special.] There is no fear of a permanent alliance between the beaten chiefs of Tammany and the republicans, for it would not be tolerated by the’ republican party of the state. It is proposed to reorganize the city democracy, and to take no accoant in the reorganization of Tammany as a body corporate.

A Portrait that Map Be Recognised la Indiana poll* [Hartford correspondence.] The careers of two men in one of our Connecticut cities afford subject for thought, whatever the moral deduced. Not twenty years ago one of the most promising Episcopalian clergymen in Connecticut was Rev. Mr. . Settled in a beautiful city with a parish that adored him, young, handsome and talented, he easily married into one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the town, and all seemed bright before him. To-day I hear of him as staggering through the streets of s rural town, with a helpless invalid wife and a half starved family. The wheel has turned very fast with Bim. for while hts progress was upward for awhile, so far as promotion to larger and larger cities is concerned, yet his degradation has of late years been no less rapid. Not that he is altogether to blame for bis mischances that have befallen him, for there have been some domestic misfortunes, and there were some unfortunate influences in some of the churches over which he has ministere 1 *! that did not help him. Yet a stronger man would have overcome these, and the fact remains true that to-day a brilliant writer and able clergyman has gone all to wreck for lack of moral principle. To the same city some thirty years ago, cimea young physician, who accidentally s umbled upon the town, dined there, liked the looks of things and stuck up his shingle without a single arquaititance, save a druggist, who told him he was “a fool to settle there.” “We shall aee,” was the response. The first Sunday of his stay he attended church, and on bis return said to his landlady :“I saw my wife at church to-day.” “What do you mean? i understand you to be a bachelor,” “So I am, but I saw in church U»e lady that I shall marry,” “Who is she?” “f don’t know. I never saw her before, but she sal in the center of the middle aisle and was dressed so and so.” “Goodness, > that is Miss , of one of our oldest families. She wouldn't look at a poor young doctor like you.’ ‘We shall see,’ said the doctor, who in jess than two years made a bride of the lady in question, rose to a tine practice in town, and is to-day, as he has been for years, the leading physician of one of the very largest cities in America, in possession of a princely income, a man whose name would be recognized by two-thirds of your readers were it given here. This man had purpose—the clergyman had none.
BAYABD AND RfcDONALD. Wby Wade Hampton Is for That Ticket. llnterview In Charleston News and Courier.] Senator Hampton: “I have not said much on the subject heretofore, because I didn’t like to say anything for or against any candidate for the presidency, but after our defeat in Ohio I think the people ought to look around and see whether there is any strength in Bayard. If Mr. Bayard can carry New York and Senator McDonald can carry Indiana,” we are sure of the election.” Reporter: “Then you are in favor of Senator McDonald for the vice presidency?” Senator Hampton: “Yes, I think he is a good man, and as Indiana is the only western state that is democratic I think we ought to place McDonald on the ticket. If Mr. Bayard can carry New ‘York, and Mr. McDonald Indiana, we have our ticket elected and three votes to spare, but in addition to this Mr. Bayard can carry New Jersey and Connecticut, which will trivc us 18 electoral majority.” Reporter: “That is counting the solid south?” Senator Hampton: “Of course, the south will be solid, and should be solid for Mr. Bayard. He is the strongest man in the south, and deservedly so, for the reason that he bos done more for the south than any other northern man. He can poll more votes in the north too than any other democrat, and he will get more of the conservadore republican vote than can be named. If he can’t carry New York then no other democrat can, and there is an end to th« whole question; but I believe he can carry it Personally he is very popular in the south, alihouph some southern senators seemed to think he was mistaken in financial maUets. But the result of the Ohio election has proved that be was right, and has proven the sagacity and judgment of the men who supported him. His popularity now is so great that there will scarcely be any opposition to bim. His character is so high that nis enemies can say nothing against him. I think that with Bayard a»d McDonald the democratic party are as sure of the next presidential election as anything, humanly speaking, can be.”
Appalling Salubrity. [Boston Sunday Times.] A young gentleman and his blushing bride, who were recently married in Philadelphia, called the next week at an apart-ment-house and were shown the flat that was to let by the loquaciobs person who officiates as janitor. This estimable woman, who would appear to be a good motherly soul, went on to illustrate how very healthy the house happened to be. “There was Mrs. on the first floor; she came here a bride and went away with three children, as pretty little thing as ever I saw, mem. And there was Mrs. , the second, who had a little son born to her here, mem, and fourteen months after, a little daughter. And, mem, Mrs. , the third floor, she was a bride too, mem, and it was twins, mem, within a year. If you please, mem, 1 am the mother of four of the darlingest” . “Thanks,” said the bridegroom, from whom I gleaned this interesting anecdote, “after all, I think it would be better to go a little further up town.” And he led the bride—“blushing again”—-into the open air and out of the healthy neighborhood.
Heavy Damage bait. Gov. Bishop, of Ohio, h&s sued the Cincinnati Gazette for $60,000 damages, growing out of the recent imbroglio concerning the police board of Cincinnati. The complaint is liased upon the ebart’e in the Gazette that Governor Bishop was in a conspiracy to oust the republican secretary of the board and make the police force of the ctiy democratic, averring such conspiracy to be corrupt and illegal. The Gazette also charged Bishop with being “the submissive tool of a characterless set of adventurers,” and “the servile tool of a ring,” in Cincinnati.
An Odd Damage Suit. Miss Kate Gallagher, of Cohoes, N. Y., ha& brought suit against the Cohoes gas company for $5,060 damages. She was the owner of a millinery store, and left the gas burning in the Store all night to prevent burglary. On the night in question her gas went out, caused by a withdrawal of the same from the mains and was shortly afterward turned on. While at work in the store, the next day, she inhaled the noxious air, which affected her health, which has been failing since, followed by three attacks of bleeding from the lungs.
Don’t Be Too Jolly, Mr. H. [Cincinnati Gazette.] Mr. Hendricks need not laugh. The defeat of Tilden is his death also. Hendricks will never be the candidate of the democratic party for president, and he might as well take eff his hat and let the bee that has buzzed so long fly.
Stand Back, Gentlemen. [New York Tribune.! The nomination is Tilden’s if he wants it, and until he speaks all booms for other candidates are a waste of wind.

6176. dearf Fraah at aL vs. Robert Folk. Blackfort C. C. affirmed. Hook, J. 7 This waa aa action by tba appells# against the sppeUaats upon a contract, dated January IPth, 18W, executed by George and John Fraah, tba terms of which were that William Flash bad oa said day aasigned to the appellee, Bulk, “a certain judgment to the amount of eight hnndrod and 'JO-1C0 dollars,” against named persona, “said Folk having taken aaid Judgment oa a claim which he balds against ua; wa hereby guarantee that aaid Judgment, bearing ten per coot, intereat, shall be paid to aaid Robert Folk, oa or before December 25th, 1875; and tn case ft is not paid by that time, we guaranty the payment of three per cent, additional interest from aaid date (December 25,1876), until said judgment is piid." In thecempUint it was alleg’d, inter alia, that by a mistake of all the parties aaid contract wa, made to read as guazantoaint a judgment for “eight hundred and 90-100 dollars.” whoa it was the intention and agreement of all the parties at the time aaid contract waa executed that it should read for “right hundred and fifty and 90-160 dollars.” The non-payment of the judgment waa alleged. Held, That by said contract the appellants did guaranty the payment of the judgment therein mentioned and the interest, and not simply the interest thereon. Held, Also, that it was not necessary in the complaint to make an ofier to amlgn the judgment mentioned U the contract to tbe appellants, as neither law nor equity would eom1*1 the appellee to aorreader any security he might bold annl he had first obtained payment of hia claim, and aa it does not appear that the appellants were entit’ed to an assignment of eaid judgment. Held, also, that the contract being an absolute and origins! one on the part of appellants with appellee that the judgment described should be paid on or before a certain day, or, if uoiso paid that additional intereat should he paid on Mid judgment from said day, notice of the non-payment oi the judgment to tbe appellants was not ncceesarv to find them, and therefore it was not necessary to a*or in the complaint that appellants had such notice.

As pyramids will soon be in fashion again, we rush to the front: Don’t Spit on The floors of The street cars, And, hang it all, man! Don’t keep your big feet in the aisle! —[Detroit Free Press. It is well to look at all sides of a subject before you indulge in an opinion. Curran o»ce eaid to Father Leary: “I wish, reverend father, that you were St. Peter and had the keys of heaven, because then you could let me in.” The shrewd and witty priest saw the sarcasm, and turned its sharp eage on the skeptic by replying, “By my honor and conscience, sir, it would be better for you that I had the keys of the other place,‘for then I could let you out,” Quite a number of Philadelphians have either gone or are preparing to go to Florida with a view of making it their permanent home. A few go for health’s sake, aad the majority for the purpose of engaging in farming and fruit growing. The generally prevailing impression that tie cultivation of the orange is very profitable, has been the stimulant, as nearly all the intended emigrants with whom we have conversed, have made arrangements to .grow this popular fruit.—[Star.

Railroad Accidents. A freight train on the Pennsylvania railroad broke in two yesterday while coming down the mountain, about eight miles west of Altoona. The detached portion of the train gained great speed, running down hill at the rate of a mile a minute, until, at Kittanning Point, it overtook and ran into the first part. Twenty-four cars were completely wrecked and the freight scattered in all di-. rections. James A. McDowell, brakeman,* was instantly killed, and a boy terribly mutilated. During a heavy fog a freight train on the Pennsylvania railway ran into another freight train near the Penn rolling mill,Lai* caster, Pa., and two oil cars were wrecked. The escaping oil caught fire and one of the tanks exploded with terrific force. For some hours the road was blocked for miles east and west with trains waiting for the fire to burn itself out. The three rear cars of the special New York express train, which left Poughkeepsie at 7:15 last evening, going south, jumped the track when between New Hamburg and Lowpoint. One of them was thrown into the river. A number of passengers were injured, but none seriously. A man named Ross II. Powers, supposed to be a locomotive fireman, accidentally fell from the viaduct draw at Cleveland into the river, a distance of seventy feet, and waa instantly killed.
