THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1879.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26.

Missouri wants a new capital. Cincihhati real nuta U valued at $128..473,130t Cuba baa another good sized rebellion on its bands. Thx United States has 29,197 convicts In its penitentiaries. Fbakcb complains ot a great falling off in the exportation of Bilks. KoesiAH railroad carried last year 2,623,484 ,i wt i. u anil 50 fiS? nieces of wiuj jo, -vi,. m ordnance. The conundrum is: "What makes all the postmasters cheer for Grant?" Answers solicited. AvorsTA, Ga., has $400,000 invested in cotton mills, which is paying 23 percent, dividends. Grant is poor and wants business. Make him "permanent president," and that will set him up. The indications favor another Ute war. The interior department, in Indian matters, is a dead failure. Atlanta, Ga., is proserin. Fifty new firms have gone into business in that city since January 1. These is a Grant boom in the South which is about as infirm as Alexander H. Stephens, who is expected to vitalize it. A admirer of Grant let the cat out ot the bag in Illinois the other day. He said: "We'll crown you next year." Shall we rx.ll Vin with a hi? "KT" Mississippi is about as solid as Iowa. The new Senate will consist of 34 Democrats, two Greenbackers, and one Republican; the House of 96 Democrats, 16 Greenbackers, five Republicans, and three Independents. TJsfobtcsatbxy for Hayes he draws only $137 a day, while the Czar gets $25,000 a day, the Sultan gets $18,000 a day, the Emperor of Austria $10,000, the Emperor of Germany $3,200, the King ot Italy $6,400 and the King of the Belgians $1 643. Tut United Kingdom of Great Britain will want 192.000.000 bushels ot wheat for the current csreal year. Of this amount 144.000,000 will have to be imported. No wonder that the inhabitants of the British Isles want to get away. They must leave or starve. . Cuba has another rebellion on hand, and the patriots are killing the Spaniards in royal style. Spain is to send 70,000 troops at once to put down the insurgents. Between buying Alfonso a wife, the destruction by floods and righting C-ba,the finances of Spain will get below par. A G crx an has discovered a process for embalming through which human bodies may be so perfectly preserved for years as to answer all the purposes of dissection re quired by science or criminal juriapruience; and by the same process beefsteaks can be kept fresh a hundred years. - Russia is preparing to fight England on the sea as well as on the land. The business of fitting out cruisers has been going forward for several years, and if the Lion and the Bear finally declare war, the Lion will find it difficult to keep its cubs in food. England can not feed herself, and in that fact lies her weakness. The report of the director of the mint shows that of the $71,179,654.65, gold and silver deposited during the last fiscal year, $65,435,434.61 was of domestic production. The coinage during the year amounted to $68,312,592 50. The total amount of subsidiary coin issued since the passage ot the resumption act is $12,974,931. The Atlanta Constitution is not particularly frightened over the result of tbe late lections, and remarks that "the the Republicans will discover before the season ia over that defeat doesn't even bruise the Democratic party, and as to killing off its leaders well, it can't be done. When a Democrat is out voted he merely determines to watch the billot boxes and the registry lists a little closer next time." Tot St. LouiB Globe Democrat publishes a note which was picked up some days since between Metropolis, 111., and Paducah, Ky., which purports to have been written by Professor Wise, of the "Pathfinder." It u as folio wo: Path Finnan, Ohio River, November 2, 8:30 p. m. Near Padncah, Ky. uoing at me rate of 65 miles sontheast per hour. P. F. in bad condition. I am almost dead with exhaustion ana hunger. Eleven daj s slnoe Burr's death, Good-bye, Wise. "The writing," says the G. D., "was ex ecu ted with a lead pencil, and is faded. A curious fact in connection with this note, and one going to prove tbe writing as tbat of Wise, ia that two words are made of Pathfinder. This was an invariable practice of Professor Wise when writing the word.' Mator Harrisobt in bis speech to Grant told bow General Washington had refused a - "crown," preferring Immortality and fame to power, and then, addressing Grant, at tempted to burst his boom by saying: "You, too, air, whan your two terms were over, obeyed tbat part of your country's unwritten traditions, hallowed by tbe example ot tha Immortal Washington, and you, too, retired. and you. too, sir, will lire and will live toraver In your countrymen's hearts." Mayor Harrison may be a very eloquent orator, bat. manifestly, he never studied Grant thoroughly. Grant is not like Washington Washington may bave refused a crown, pre ferring immortality and fame, but Grant was never known to refuse anything. Washington may hava preferred to live in the hearts of his countrymen. Grant wants to live in their pocket. Grant will take anything in the wav of employment, from a railroad con ductor to the presidency of tbe Hnlted States. It is no use to compare Grant with Washington; it is putting history to the ; moet execrable-torture to bring from its lips ttta blasphemous falsehood that Graat la the

equal of the man whom the great Irish orator said "So people can claim, no country can appropriate him; the boon ot Providence to toe human race; his fame is eternity, and his residence creation." It is nonsense to compare Grant with such a man as that. , ' Tn Indianapolis Sentinel chanres us with desiring tbe enlargement of the bank power In ikts count. We believe in making money next tons matters of trainees. The politicians soon Id be kept oat of the money market. The world la eoverend too mac Q in money matters. Banking la as free as farming In this country. You have to be In possession or bonds before yu can be a national banker, and you have to possess land before yotcan larm. Cincinnati Commercial. If that is your idea, why don't you advocate the repeal of the law of Congress taxing State bank bills out of existence, and permit banking, like farming, to be regulated by State lawsT As it is. National banks are tbe products of politicians. They exist by vir tue of laws enacted by Congress, and are under the control of Congress, which could legislate them out of existence in an hour.

- POLITICAL CHANGES El ENGLAND. If it is true that the king never dies, it is also true, in so far as the British adminis trations of tbe Government Is concerned, that they die frequently. The House of Commons is virtually the Government of Great Britain, and everything else connected with the Government must be in harmony with that body. If the measures proposed by the crown are not indorsed by the House of Commons, the premier must at once step down and out, so that a different policy may be inaugurated. The House of Commons brooks no kingly rule. The king must conform to the Commons and the contests for seats in that body are as sharp as in the United States. Mr. Disraeli was premier in 1868, and held office for 281 days. He was succeeded by Gladstone, who held the reins of government for four years and 100 cays, and was succeeded by Disraeli, who virtually assumed office on the 20th of February, 1874. In this connection, it may be well to give a list or British premiers, and the period daring which they have held office since 1854. It ia as follows: Time in Office. Appointed.

Since 1783 there have been 29 changes of premiers, while in the United States there bave been but 19 changes of administration. three of which have been caused by the deaths of presidents while in office. Hence it appears that the British Government, in so far as its policy ia concerned, has been even less stable than tbat of the United States. On the 20th of February, 1874, Lord Beaconsfield, then Mr. Disraeli, went into office, and "the result of the general election which then plaoed the Conservatives in power was as follows: ConserLiberals, vatlves England and Wales.. 193 2MB 41 19 Scotland Ireland 68 including a double return from Athlone, and counting all Home Rulers as Liberals. Tbe total Conservative majority was 51. In ths general contest they had won 98 teats, against 38 by the Liberals. The new Par liament was opened on the 5th of March, 1874. The result of the previous election in 1868. which brought Mr. Gladstone into office, was: Conser Liberals. vatives. English boroughs. 213 Scotch boroughs ... . 25 91 Irish burgns ...... sen EngliHn counties .. 50 Hcotch Comities . 23 Irish counties 34 13 114 7 21 pretty Such violent changes indicate clearly that poUtical excitement runs quite as high in Eneland as it does in America. MORE 80LDIEKS. As soon as Congress meets, the demand will be made by Rapubliciu organs, stal warts and conspirators tor more troops. The country is now being taxsd to support an army ot 25" 000 men. But, strange to say, 5,000 of these soldiers are not in the army are not doing military duty at all. . Taey are corruptly and dishonestly put at employ ments in violation of law, and to tbe detri ment of the servlcs. ' For example," says the New York Sun, "it is notorious that a large body of so-callel soldiers, enlisted as soldiers, is detailed for clerical labor in the various bureaus of the war department, thus encroaching upon ths proper func tions of the civil service. Sims of these so called soldiers, who have never performed the leait duty of their calling and who have only bean technically mustered into service, are drawing salaries as clerks. Others are used as servants by the magnificent commanders and staff, not only at posts, but in the cities. Others are employed in tbe signal service. This abuse nas gradually grown into large proportions without the knowledge of Oorgress, for tbe military machine is a close corporation tbat knows how to keep its secrets." Genera' Sherman, wh exalts tbe military power while he denounces the civil pow.ir, wants Cngress to give him 5 000 more men in place ot the 5,000 who are used for clerks, servants and routabous Thia would make tbe standing army 30,000, rank and file, in' stead of 25.000, and incresae the burden of taxi lion several millions. The Republican party base large expectations upon the army, It wants troops at tbe polls, troops in the 8outh, troops in Weshicg-'on. A strong government must have a large standing army.

and if an inscrutable Providence should again afflict the country with the unspeaka

ble curse ot Republican rule we may expect the army to be increased not only to 30,000, but possibly to 300,000. Grant's run 'round the world has made him familiar with strong governments and strong methods of governing In Europe Grant had excellent opportunities for finding out the views of despots. In this connection it may be well enough to refer to the standing armies of some of tbe Euro pern nations. "The mili tary strength of Russia," says a correspond ent, '.'consists ot 3.046 800 men, of whom 600 000 belong to the reserve and 2,446,800 to the standing army. The regular army of Franca comprise 1.689 000 soldiers of all arms, the tern ion al army l,Ja uuu; total, Lii.ZS'J.uuu, to oe increases in ikm uy uiaddiUon of 330,000 reserve men to 2,723,000. The German power of all classes is represented by 2 004.300 men, of whom 1,076,200 belong to the standing army, 307,200 to the landwehr, and 620,900 to the reserve. Italy has an army of 698 000, and a militia of 310.000. In 1892. when the reserve will number 1,016,200, her total streoeth will reach 2,024.200. Anstro Hungary possesses a standing army of 809.000, a landwehr of 299 318, and a reserve of 95 000 men; total, 1,194,318. Tbe grand total of all these forces amounts to 16 471 918, the standing armies alone numbering 7,925 000. But it must not be understood that all the latter are now under arms; at least one-half of them are on furlough. They form the first line, and alt would, of course, be at ones called out in the event of a general war. It is neverthe less true that the great military powers have at their disposal 16 000,000 msn who hava learned, or are now learning, the soldier's art, and are bound to re enter the ranks when required. The mind refuses to grasp the full significance of these portentous figures; but it miy safely be affirmed tbst. so long as these oioatea armaments are suffered to exist, England can count neither on lasting commercial prospsrity nor on a long continuance of peace." Bat, notwith standing such facts, aud the lessons they teach, the Republican party is constantly clamoring tor more troops. The Indiana Republicans who are working np the exodus ouiness ior voung purptnn next year are asserlins that Indiana ia and has been sorely In need ot farm laborers. It ia a pity they have not heretofore let tbat fart be known, for thousands or white men nave been aDXlons for some time to get such labor. The exodus Republic-ins now te.i as that Indiana farmers are suffering for jack of black laborers. "Oulv black farm hands wantea" ia their notification. Courier-Journal. The people ot Indiana, Republicans as well as Democrats, are having very clear perceptions with regard to tbe importation. of Ssuthern pauper negroes into this State. The cry about the necessity for more farm hands is as vile a falsehood as was ever told by a Louisiana liar. Nowhere in the State, from tbe Olio river to Like Michigan, has there been a call during ths past six years for farm hands in excess of the local supply. Instead of more laborers being in de mand, there have been hundreds of idle men pleading for work which could not be obtained. The negro immigration business is a vicious, partisan proceeding from first to last. It is cruelty to the negro, who is not wanted in Indiana; and it is no Usi a sting ing injustice to the white laborers already here, and who are having a hard time ot it to get a living. The movement has been In augurated by a set ot white and black scamps in the employment of Republican conspirators, for the purpose o! increasing the Republican vote in 1880. These partisan freebooters care nothing for the welfare of the. laboring people of Indiana, or the black paupers ot the Sautb. They are willing to sacrifice both if thereby the Republican nartv of Indiana can increase its vote. The Journal is aiding the Increase of the negto - population of Indiana. It is willing that the white labor of Indiana shall be brought into direct competition with negro labor. The Journal knows, if these Southern pauper negroes will work at all, tbat they can bs hired at wages upon which no white man could live decently or comfortably, still it is anxious to subject ths white workingmen of Indiana to tbe hu miliating and degrading competition with the pauper negroes ot the South, who are to be brought here by subscription, aod main tained, as in Kansas, by private or public charity, and this is to be done to increase the Republican vote of the State. The laboring people of Indiana aro watching the exodus, and it tbe Republican party makes anything by it theyvwill be welcome to all they gain. w- ham rpnint'v imoorted more than 150,OKI.UIjO in gold.

Retiring the greenbacks and putting out bank notes ia merely taking money out or poll'lcs and rele gating it to business. Then as tne i?reeuoaoa are withdrawn tbe Government can manatre without having such enormous masses or itold and silver on hand. Cincinnati Commercial. Tbe urgent demand made by Republican organs for tbe retirement of greenbacks and "putting out" National bank notes in tbeir place, has for Its object the enlargement of tbe bink power of the country. The National banks act in concert; their interests are identical; they pull together; they are opposed to the silver legislation ot Congress; they demand the single gold standard; they seek to control elections, and are in all regards political machines. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that Republican organs are anxious to confer upon them more power by retiring greenbacks, thereby plao ing the currency of the country exclusively under their control. There are now out standing $340,000,000 in greenbacks and about $330 000 000 In National bank bills in all, about $676,000 000 ot paper currency. A large amount of the greenbacks Is locked np by the Government and by the National banks, so tbat the amount of paper In circa lation does not exoeed, y, $000,000,000. If the greenbacks are retired, National bank bills must take their place, else contraction will be the result. The retirement of the greenback will not bring gold into circula tion, since the Na ional banks will want it to maintain resumption. Instead of being looked np in the treasury vaults, it would be locked np in bank vaulta. The Commercial. knows this, butbatngaNsUonal bank organ, because National bank power can be used to advance the schemes of the Republican party, it would confer the entire money sowar of tha country upon them. WiUa

the retirement ot greenbacu.National banks would multiply, or those now in existence would double their circulation. We are

told tbat $220,000,000 of "real mousy' ia now ia the vsulta of the treasury, and that with the retirement ot greenbacks this vast amount would at once fljw oat into all the channels ot trade. If such should bs the result, what becomes of the redemption of National bank bllU? With greenbacks destroyed and tbe coin ia circulation, there would be nothing left with which to redeem National bank bills. "The hugs heaps of gold and silver now the property of tbe Government should go," says the Commercial, "into the packets of the people and the reserves of the banks. If this is to bs a specie-paying country we must be a speciehandling people. It is tolly and false to say the people prefer paper. They prefer gold and silver now as always, and 'as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.' " This huge heap of gold and silver ia now, according to the Commercial, $220,000,000, while tbe paper to be redeemed amounts to above $675,000,000, more than $3 In paper to $1 in coin. Upon a sound busii basil how much less coin would the Commercial recommend? The Commercial says the peeple prefer gold and silver to paper. Still, John Sherman says hs can not possibly get the silver coin into circulation at all, and very few persons are asking for an exchange ot greenbacks for gold. The Commercial might as well confess the pur pose in view. It wants the National banks to control the money ot the country, to ex ercise exclusive jurisdiction in financial affairs, to. expand or contract the currency at pleasure, to play into the hands ot rings and jobs and corners, and to contribute to the sac:ess of Republican schemes In elec tions. The Democratic party is opposed to National banks. They exercise a dangerous power. They would cm tribute to the infamous Republican scheme ot centralization, and it is for such things more than anything else that the Commercial and other organs ot Republican conspirators are seeking to enlarge the power ot the National banks. GLEANINGS. As against Grant ex-Senator Henderson is for Bayard. Governor B.Gbatz Bbowh Is for Bayard as aga inst anybody. The Evansvllle Courier says it must be Hendricks; of Indiana, and somebody, of New York. Duriko the last fiscal year there was a bal ance of (209,000,000 in favor oi the united States. Ex UiriTKD States Semvtok McCkkery, of Kentucky, was attacked with paralysis a few days ago.

A hew kind of sweet potato is cultivated in Kern county, Cal., picked specimens of which welvh from 15 to 18 and 2 pounds. The orops have oen so bad in North Italy this season that emigration to Bonth America has received anew and powerful Impulse. The grain shipments from New York, by sea, on Saturday last, included 112,000 bushels or corn, 438,001 bushels of wheat and 13.000 barrels of flour. The Now York Herald: "Bayard wo aid be cordially accepted by both ot the Democratic factions of New York, and bs supported by both with enthusiasm." ' The pile of gold in the United States treas ury October 1, was the largest in the world Ilwut6,995, or 13,701,493 iargor than the reserve of the Bank of England. An Oregon teacher. Miss Ynnenm, has taken np a land claim, fenced it, built a hoise, and raised this year 612 bushels or grain, besides teaching her school. Some idea of the way things are rushing at the Somerset chea?e factory, in Pennsylvania, may be gained from the fact that It has used 9 XX) boxes since the opening last vpring. The Pittsburg Post is anxiously suggesting that somebody nominate Horatio Seymour, Jr., for president, as he seems to know how to carry New York and not mneh of anybody else does. General Mahohe, the Virginia repndlator, is sa d to have offered to pledge bis party for Grant next year, provided the Republicans would support him In the Leglsla ure this winter. Kansas City Times says that next to Sey mour, of rtew lortc, mere is prooaoiy no Eastern man who has a stronger hold upon the confidence and regard of the party than Mr. bayard. The Boston Traveler puts on tbe prophetic goggles and says: "Tllden'a reuomlnation was rendered almost Impossible, aua urani sre nomination almost Inevitable, by the vote of the Empire State." Pet Ellaa Pinks ton can not be present at the opening or the returns in Maine. She Is needed there to assist her Radical friends, but she will be compelled to remain In Jail, down in re Del Mississippi, for murder. Bayard means the German vote. The Ger man vote means Indiana and New York certain, and nrobably Ohio. too. But we do not need Ohio. We only need to preserve what is fairly our own New Yerk and Indiana. The reading room of the British museum contains three mile or bookcases eight feet fc'gh. The dome whence the eleotrle ligbt irradiates the vast room Is next to that of the Pantheon at Borne, the largest extant. Mr. Hemmorobr, of Galveston, In Texas, a barkeeper, on the evening of his wedding, left his bride with the parson aod her friends waiting for him In a parlor, and stepping out to a stable took a dose of poison and died. The New York Irlbane says If we were obllgod which Heaven forbid I to vote for Democratlo president, there is probably no one ol that party for whom we should deposit our ballot wltn so Utile reluctance as for Mr, Bayard. . Wads Ham -tow: "We must show that we do not lnntend to eneroaeh upon the rights oi any oltlaea. Let us show that we are a lawabiding people. One Indiscreet fool In the South ean overthrow the work of many wias statesmen." The Kansas City Times says: "The Tims Seymour and Hendrioks boom takes well tn Waahicf ton. Congressman Joseph Blaekborn, of Kentnoky, in a published interview says Tilden la dead as Tnnrman, aod Seymour to now ike ouijr awa iut tu Xtemcaaia to

nominate for president. He thinks Hendricks would take second place on the ticket If any K a tern man but Tilden Is nominated, which

wonld give the Democrats New York and In diana, which, with a solid South, would elect the ticket beyond perad venture. "No, Mas. Hayes," said Rutherford, MI will not explain what sort of technical terms those were that Mr. Chandler used when be said 'we ought to stand ia with each other on this New York racket to ring la a cold deck on Tilden and scoop his pile.' "Boston Post. The Washington Post says that General Grant has paid no attention to Mr. Hayes' Invitation to put np at the White House when he visits Washington. General Graat knows very well that the proper person to sign a letter of that description is Samuel J. Tilden. A cheap and simple piece of machinery has just been Invented and is In operation at Westchester, S. C, which spins seed cotton into thread. It is claimed that this Invention will add 100 per cent, to tbe profit of the planter, as it saves him the expense of ginning, baling, bagging and ties. Ako.io Use United States senators outspoken for tbe nomination of Bayard, as his friends assert, are Wnyte and Groome, of Maryland ; Withers, of Virginia; Ransom and Vance, or North Carolina; Hill and Gordon, or Georgia; Bailey and Harris, of Tennessee; Hampton and Butler, of Sooth Carolina; Jones, of Florida, and Davis, of West Virginia. These is some talk in this State In favor of our Legislature selecting our next presidential electors, and that they bs Instructed to cast their votes for Mr. Tilden. Rather than see thM done, we prefer to see them sell their votes to the highest bidder and turn over the money to the superintendent of public instruction for the benefit ol the publlo schools. Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald. Now ir the Republicans can only make the country believe that the Maine returning board will count ont tbe Radical ticket, then. Indeed, the Okolona States need circulate no more, and the talk of sending Jeff Davis to the United States Senate may cease. In truth, -.-onthera outrages' might be held in abeyance for awhile. The silence will grow oppressive upon all points but the Maine "outrage." The Tuscambla (Ala.) Herald says that It la a pointer that Hendricks is nominated on nearly all the tickets, either for vice or president. Bayard Is carrying the boom for president now, bnt before tbe nominating convention meets, the still, deep water will bear Hendricks np the front. The State of Indiana Is a fixed Democratic star, and Hendricks shines by both a State and National light. The Johnstown (Pa.) Democrat having expressed its dlsgnst that a Republican repeater should have been found In Philadelphia to vote eight times for a dollar, the Philadelphia Times says that, as a general thing, the repeater takes what he can get and this has been a pretty cheap year in politics In Philadelphia. We should think to eight times for a dollar 12 cents per Radical vote. Ugh ! Up to the present time the advances to Ireland by tbe Imperial Government of Great Britain, in tbe way of loins for publlo works, have amounted to JO,000,0.0 in round numbers, of which nearly 3,000 0j0 has been remitted, over 1,000,01 0 lent for the relief of the laboring poor, and above 1,000,030 more for rtyer drainage and navigation. The total repayments to the treasury have been 10,6X5.000. The Boston Globe: "Whr.i was done nnder Grant's rule In South Caroiui a, Louisiana and F.orlda Is possible In Massachusetts nnder the same rule in years to come. It is to establish snch a 'strong Government' that every State must yield before It that tbe Republican managers are working. Grant Is the ready Instrument to their hands. They nominate him even betore the vote of Massachusetts is fully counted. They are ready to ride atra'gh'. Into power on horseback behind the dictator." The Lancaster, Pa., Herald declares that the Ohio and New York elections bave excluded Mr. Thurman and Mr. Tilden. Mr. Hendricks, it says. Is strong in Indiana but weak in New York. In regard to Bayard it remarks: He is very stiong In the cimmerclal circles of New York, both by reason of his soundness on the finance question and because of bis splendid service to tbe business community In his as sanlts upon the Custom Honse abuses.- With such a ticket as Bayard and McDonald, New York and Indiana conld In all probability bs safely carried. The Boston Globe: "Grant la already chosen as the Republican candidate in ISO. and tbe convention has enly to register tbe will of the old ring that grasps at this chance of getting back Into place and power. Bnt the time is past for the success of such a candlaacy. . The party has no unscrupulous soldier in the White Hon-, no Morton to purchase the Pacific coast States, no Chandler to run the campaign from tbe vantage of a cabinet of fice, and not a Repnb lean returning laard in the whole South. Grant will never ride his horse up the White Honse steps." . - '- In relation to mining and agriculture, the Boston Herald says: We know of no more striking contrast between the s'lent forces which contribute to the ooantry's weaun ana those which make more noise and create more excitement, than the simple statement that tbe value of the staple agricultural products harvested n this country this year exceeds by Sl0t,000,009 the total product or our gold and silver mines since me cmorn uimj-vtjijr Tne conn'ry steadily progresses In Its develop ment. Hundreds or thousands' of new farms are carved ont o! the wilderness every year, and scarcely occasion more remark than the discovery of a single vein of gold or sliver. Tne mines whioh have built up Leaaville In a year or two are advertised over all the world, and the minds of millions are agitated by the possibility of sodden wealth. The New York Dispatch : " It mu,t hav relotced all sincere friends of Horatio Seymour hsn thv discovered that tne canuioaw forced noon the Democrats ot tne euro oy Samnel J. Tilden had met with ignominious defeat. They knew, toe, that the fight made aaalnst Luolns Robinson was particularly aimed at the trickster of Gramercy Park, the man who was never loyal to a friend, nor ever fought a foe but by nnder-hand means, nor ever aalned a point but through some devious methods. There never was a viler betrayal of a man and a party than that of Horatio Sey monr and the Democratlo party in 1868 by Samnel J. Tilden, as the exposure recently published by Hon. Mr.Delmar. proves beyond cavil. The election of 1879 blasts tne presi dentlal aspirations of Tilden. and there are few honest Democrats In this State who re gret that result." The 8t. Louis Post-Dispatch says that tha hlahest eomoliment yet paid to Senator Bay ard is tha substantial agreement of K four German editors In thi city who never before agreed except to strongly dUigree tuat so lar as tbe German vote is oonoernea nenaior oay ard wonld nnauuetionably be the strongest candidate who could be pnt into the field next vear bv either party. This Is the opinion of Dr. Prenaa. the able editor of tbe German- Dem oe ratio organ the Amertka. This Is the ODlnlon of Dr. Daenser, the profound ditor of the Independent Anseger This Is the opinion of the good Dr. Preeorlus who Is the partner of Carl sonars and editor of tha a an ot the Osrman Republicans. Tbls Is also the emphatlo and tersely expressed nonvlnUn- of tha editor Of tne VOiasaumme, the organ of tha German Soolallsta. Here are four different German papers, rep In m. radiaallv different class, who yet perfecUy agree that Senator Bayard would receive

the largest German vote of any candidate who eould be possibly nominated. We consider this a most significant sign. Let it be remem

bered that ia Indiana, Ohio and New York the German vote is absolutely decisive. The male members of the Keokuk bar showed no Jealousy when Miss Nannie Smith admitted to practice. Tha presiding! ad to . descended from the bench to shake hands with her, and the lawyers subsequently gave her a banquet. Horatio Setmoob, Jr., appears to be the only candidate known to be elected on tha New York Democratic Bute tloket, and Mr. Seymour's majority will exceed 10.00J, This was precisely Horatio Seymour's majority over Grant in New York in 18t8. Prrsideict Li-oolh once listened patlenly while a friend read a long manuscript, and who then asked, "What do you think of lit How win It take?" The president reflected a . little while, and then answered: "Well, for people who like tbat kind of thing, I think that is Inst about tbe kind of thin they'd like." 1st 1816, the population of all the territory which now forms the German empire amounted to 24,831,396 souls. According to the last census, there were 42,727,330 inhabitants in the same districts; so that the population has Increased at an average annual rate of 0.9 per eent. From 1816 to 1834, the average yearly in crease was 1.16 percent.; from UJ1 toliSH, 0 8S; from 18-2 to 1837, 0.75; and from 1867 to 1875, 0.85 percent. It Is reported that Secretary Sherman, in his forthcoming annual report, will recommend the repeal of the act requiring the coinage of a minimum of 2,100.000 standard dollars per month, upon the ground that tneee dollars can not be forced into circulation, and that the enforced coinage Is crowding the vaults of the treasury and locking np nnprofitably somuch of its resources as is required for tha purchase of silver bullion. The Philadelphia Times: It is Butler's mission to keep Massachusetts In a cold sweat, and that mission be is fulfilling and will continue to fulfill. Nor has bis persistent agitation been without profit to tne State. Hehaa exposed with crnel recklessness tbe bones -within the w hi ted sepulcner of a Commonwealth which, with au Its admirable characteristics, la far from being the model that her people wonld have us suppose. A ranch kr in the Sacramento valley being asked how many cattle he had, answered aa follows: "In 1861 I owned a heifer which, when three years old (1867), had a fam vie calf. The same cow has also had a re male eair every year for tbe past 12 years. Each of ber calves commenced to breed when three years old, all bearing female calves every year thereafter. The same rule has attaches to all the herd. None have died, been sold or stolen . 1 stopped counting some time ago. Please tell me how many cattle I have got." A Forlorn lady, who was mysteriously abducted from her home in Peoria lat December, and lrigbtened ont of ber senses, was unable to speak from that day until Thursday last. On the previous night she bad heard . some school girls sieging a Sunday-school hymn. The next morning, while going ont to the coal abed for fuel, she suddenly burst into song. She dropped the coal scuttle, fche ran into the honse. She screamed. She wept. She talked in every room in the boose, and then rushed out or doors to chatter with the neighbors. The tottl number of the Hebrew race to-day Is about what It was in the days of King David between 6,000,000 and 7,000.0 O.

The Chicago Times says: Seriooaly, tha managers cf tbe Grant "boom'' should be cau tioned that they are overdoing tha thing. It is all very well to give Grant a distinguished reception. Perhaps it Is well enough that this reception should be given In charge of a lot of his old party backs, who are sure to pervert it,, as far as possible, to their own benefit; bnt it Is certainly going too far to claim for it ths character of a "nonpartisan" reception. Call it the "boom" and be done with It. Advertise it as a grand partisan demonstration, inviting to it omy snch men as are anxious to vote for - Grant for a third term, and the offense to -good taste will not be as great as it is nnder the present circumstances. The heroine of the day is a Miss Spragne, of Neaark.Othe daughter of a lawyer. She has written the moet charming novel that baa issued from the American press since the negro was hnng. The lady Is only 23 years old. and she wrote her story without really thinking that she was doing auylhlngextia. Itwaa published in Boston, and all tbe antics and literati ol the Hub are in eostacies .The language is beautiful, and the story "An Earnest Trlfler" is said to be dramatioal y t jld. As a 1 consequence, the young lady, who has suddenly J n hd pel into fame, Is receiving about a- ' dozen offers of marriage per day. Every mail from New England brings a handful of offers. There is nothing surprising about alt this, for Miss Spragus js an Ohio man. - - ; The presidency belongs to the people, not to any man. fost-uispaion. jusi ao; exacuy. But tbe people gave it to Mr. Tilden, and Hay ea stole it. Tbe people should reclaim their property and make good their contract with Mr. Tilden. The xcods were not dellvareu.
