THE MAIL THIS WEEK. To accommodate pressmen, printers and newsboys who desire to celebrate, Hie Mall this week ia printed on the evening in advance of Its date* and delivered on Friday evening and Saturday morning. Hie paper la dated Saturday evening aa usual, and all mention in its columns of to-day and this evening, have reference to Saturday and Saturday evening. THE THE
REPUBLICANS AND GERMANS.
Much haa been said and written during the week concerning the treatment of the Germans by the Republican County Convention, which was held in this city last Saturday. Hie Journal anxious to secure all the votes possible for the Democratic ticket, has been most assiduously rubbing the hair the wrong way. With the skill of a born demagogue, it has been trying to persuade the Germans that they have been most shamefully treated by the party, which as one would think, owed to them all the honor and success it had ever obtained It has flattered them that this sham Ail cruel, and causeless treatment, has been given to them in spite of the foci that to them Is especially due the success of our arms and the salvation of the country, It has just rolled itself in the political dirt, put on sackcloth and ashes, and Job-like scraped itself with a potsherd, because of the affliction heaped upon these beloved fellow-voters. It would seem that the officiousness of the Journal, and Its evident desire to stir up a row in order to help itself—not because it cares a straw for the Germans must disgust those whose cause it professes to espouse. The Express on the other hand, has come op smiling and looking wise, and in a patronizing and oracular manner peculiar to itself, has been saying, "Poor puss, poor puss," and soothingly rubbing the hair the smooth way. It assures the public that Mr. Filbeck simply was not elected chairman of the Executive Committee, and that Mr. Rottman was simply defeated by another very good man. Now The Mail, having no ax to grind, and no political ring-masters to serve, can easily afford, in this matter, to follow its invariable practice of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
The truth of the matter is that the Germans were slaughtered in that convention, the Express to the contrary notwithstanding. But they were not slaughtered so unjustly, and cruelly and causelessly, as the Journal would have them think. Mr. Rottman was defeated because he was a German. In this the convention made a mistake. He has made a good officer. He has refused, like an honorable man, to electioneer for the office, and this alone should have secured it to him, unless there were good reasons why be should not hold it, as there were not. The question whether he was German or American born should never have entered into consideration. He was a good man for the place, had become familiar with its duties, was entitled to re-nomination according to party usage In such case*, and was too much of a man to beg or intrigue for votes. Mr. Filbeck's eaao was entirely different. There was a widespread din—tinfarflnn with his course. When working for his present position
Postmaster, be used the argument with temperance people that he was tired and sick of the saloon lm*J nesa, tliat be wanted to get out of it, and desired the position he was seeking on that ae-
Some gave him support, or at
least withdrew active opposition, on that ground. Either Justly or unjustly the feeling exists that *lnoe he entered his present position lie haa used all hissklli, which is great, in Am* of the business which he was so anxious to get outof, and in opposition to those whose supporter silence he nought. There may be no good ground for this W'Singam©ng temperance people, but itdscs #xW,and It was on account of thin, as well as be cause he was a German, and because th' impression prevail* that he dtempted tenia the different ward elections, that he was displaced from, or. if it suits better, not wwsiected to km for which he la fitted by peculiar abiHtjp a political manager.
But there are other causes King back of those already named which have brought about tkis defeat of the Ger-
Tbere has long been a re* lew*
MM in the Republican party wider the dictation of this eteas aa to candidate*. Instead of all ooming together brrspao' tiv* of nationality, and satisfied with the nomination ofgoodm« for office, without inquiring whether tWv or their par» enta were born on this or the oilier side of the water, there has always been adr
nsauft t» tit« of Ute Qmma &ay galfiWTt*
vPgis
element in the distribution of the spoil*. There has also been a feeling, whether just or whilst we cannot say, that while they labored fkithfolly to ek** the German portion of the ticket, they often defeated other candidates. But the feather which broke the camel's back, waa the demand made that the political party wfcich desired the support of German voters and German paper*, should pledge itself implicitly to carry German views on the liquor question. Bat fear that demand, and the avowed purpoae on the part of a large portion of tbein withdraw business patronage, aa well as political support, from those who dared to differ with them on this question, there would have been no such eoume pursued as was pursued in the convention last Sat unlay. Hie rank and file of the Republican pruty, especially in the country, were out of all patience with the Germans. And considering the feet that they demanded clear and explicit pledges which they knew were contrary to the avowed principles of a large portion of that party, aa the price of their continued support, it Is not strange that patience was exhausted. While think the party should have been satisfled with the platform adopted, and the order to Mr. Filbeck to take aback seat without defeating the nomination oifMr. Rottman, yet, under the circumstances, it is not strange that that gentleman was made to suffer in oonsequenee of the imprudence and unfairness of a portion of his countrymen. Hie German editors are responsible ior forcing the issue which baa resulted in this slaughter. The Republican party may be defeated in this county in consequenco, but it has the satisfaction of knowing that it has not suffered dictation from a class promising it support if it would more implicitly pledge itself than any other party to its free and easy views on the liquor question.
THK annual attack upon the clorgy for taking vacations has begun. This attack is usually made by those who care nothing for church or clergy, exccpt to find all fault with them possible. But in this city we have a clergyman who does not hesitate to take his "dear brethren" of the ministry to task for going on a vacation. Last year he put a standing notice in the paper that he would "remain at his post," a gentle hint that others had deserted heirs, and this year he declares that the devil don't take vacations. He forgets that the devil has no cool place to which to go. And then too he forgets that the devil don't get tired, or sick. Ho might as well say the devil don't sleep, night is his busiest time and therefore let ministers sit up nights to watch him. It also seems as if he had forgotten that the Great Teacher, his master, said to his disciples "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest awhile." There is a great deal of nonsense in tbisannual tirade against vacations. It would be better for the entire American people if all would rest awhile each year. Not only ministers but doctors, lawyers, merchants, manu facturers, clerks, tncchanics and farm en, all ought to have a vacation if possible at some time during the year. More and better work would bo done, and certainly those who, for any reason, cannot or will not take vacations ought not to imitate the "dog in the manger." Let everybody go who can and everybody who cannot go or will not, bid those who do go, a hearty God-speed, instead of growling at them.
THE Governor and Legislature of Massachusetts have been having quite a con test over the Liquor Law. The Legislature passed a law doing away with the State constables whose particular business it is to enforce the liquor law. The Governor vetoed it. The Legislature tried then to "come a game" over the Governor, by passing a law so decreasing the number of constables and weakening their power, that they would be of no use, but ho brought out his veto again. The Legislature became huffy at this and repealed the liquor law and paused a license law, and this the Governor also vetoed. As it stands his Excel lency is ahead. Governor Talbot came into office through tho election of Gov ernor Washburne to the U. 8. Senate as the successor of Sumner.
THE Republican County Convention faced the music on the temperance question and adopted the platform of the State Convention. That is good enough It sanctions the principle that the State has aright to control this liquor business, and so to against the Idea that personal liberty," includes the liberty to sell liquor. It also sanctions the principle of local option, aad of making those engaged in the business responsible for damages resulting therefrom. The candidates for the legislature are not sufficiently well known to command oonfldenos at first. Very likely they will make themselves better known before the election occurs. The legislative ticket is not a* strong as it might be.
Car AS. FRAJKT* ADAWS, who perhaps has given as much study to the railroad question as any man in the country, is not inclined to hope for modi from the state laws or the bill Just passed by Congress this ratiget*. He thinks a commisrion should lie appointed to inquire Into facts, or as be puts it, "for the investigation of concrete cases, and from the study of these eases aasnre yourself of the nature of the difficulty and then proeaedto a remedy.* jam* in that suggestion, it strikes us.

And, second, that any dog, even a perfectly healthy one, may communicate poison which may result in hydrophobia. Hie Doctor believes that he Is on the point of solving much of the mystery which has heretofore surrounded this terrible malady.
Tim Express, In its seal for purity and religion, does not like it that tho papers generally are not as ready to assume Mr. Beeeher's guilt, and to throw stones at him as vigorously, and with as evident a relish as itself. The intemperance of the Express In this matter has reacted in favor of Mr. Beecher. The man may be guilty but there is a readiness on the part of the public generally, and on the part of t^ie entire pmw, with one or two exceptions, to give him at a week to declare his course. It is significant fact that the papers of New York, where Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton are best known, an strongly Inclined to take the side of the former, and this provoke* the Express to allude to their articles on thesutyeet as, "the general editorial sniffling." A few days, or weeks at most, must settle this matter, if it can be settled. It is bard for a man to prove his innocence, but If Mr. Beecher will say plainly whether he wrote that letter, and If he wrote It, for what he was apologising the country generally will t«k« his word. It Is ail in a nutshell.

THE OREA COMET!
Taa Tkrm Mmm b**g
/|i
AND ON THK 3BTH OF JTTLY WILL ENVELOPE THK EARTH
Henry M. Parkhuxst, In a letter to the New York Tribune, gives the result of his observations of the approach! comet, which he says promises to be the most wonderftil and instructive eomet in the history of the world.
On the SSth of June he determined the length of its tail to he over 5/X miles. He then assumed an increase of length of one-tenth each day, and readied the startling result that upon July jttth its tail would actually strike the earth. Later observations have confirmed him in this belief and he ventures these predictions:
On Thursday, July 2nd, at 9H o'clock, the comet will be easily seen frith the naked eye in the northwestern sky with a tail about 5° In length. The nucleus will move toward tho south while the tail will increase in length so as to bring the extremity northward, (hi the 14th the head of the comet will have reached the horizon in the northwest at the end of twilight, so that it will not be easily visible after that date, but the tall will extend north to the poleatar.
Owing to its pesition the tall will be so fore-shortened that it will bo remarkably wide at tho end.
On July 16th, the tail will extend far beyond the polesiar and develop a new characteristic, tapering off at the end. Within three or four days after, the tail will fill a large part of the northern heavens. It will not, however, be conspicuous but look like an immense cloud or milky wave.
He expects the earth on tho 22nd to be wholly within the eastern edge of the comet's tail. The comet will then disappear to us, but tho inhabitants of the Southern Hemisphere will see It gradually rise and pass away, and will le amazed by the sudden apparition of a comet of extraordinary size and unusual brilliancy.
In regard to Its cffefcfe ujposl the earth he does not expect them to be appreciable exccpt in electriual phenomena. It will leave us a portion of its atmosphere but probably not noticeable. It may have more effect on the moon. The nucleus will not be nearer to us than Venus ever gets, so that no collision need be feared. The vastnessof this comet, its near approach to tho earth, and the increased facilities for tho examination of this mysterious class of visitants combines to make this one of the most interesting and sensational events in the history of astronomy. The spectroscope, an invention s» modern as never to have been used on any comet of consequence, will now bo put to use and help determine its material, and it is difficult to predict tho revelations it may make and the great influence it may have in the development of science.
SECRETARY BRISTOW, of the Treasury Department, seems to be tho right man for the place. Hois up to the tricks of the thieves, and heads them off every time. Honesty is a good thing, but honesty combined with sharpness of intellect is a great deal better than a compound of honesty and stupidity, or honesty and easy good nature.
TiiElndianapolis Herald puts in print the remarks of a cithsen who knew the Beeclient in that city: "That if th« public wero well acquainted with Mrs. B, they would havo more charity for Henry Ward."

IK one of his Boston lectures, Dr. Brown-Sequard gave the following sim pie meaus for checking coughing, sneeeng, etc.: "Coughing can bo stopped by pressing on the nerves of the Up, in the neighborhood of the nose. A pressure there may prevent a cough when it is beginning. Sneering may be stopped by tie same mechanism. Pressing, also. In tho neighborhood f( the ear may stop coughing. It is so, also, of hiccough, but much less so than for sneering or coughing. Pressing very hard on the top ot the mouth, inside, is also a means of stopping coughing. And I say that the will has Immense power there. There waa a French surgeon who used to say whenever he entered the wards of mi hospital.

Out in Leavenworth, Kansas, when ministers have misunderstandings with the deacona, they dont make so much fuss as in this part of the country.
