A SOC [HEHN GOOU-MGHT,
BY VICTOR'* REGIA.
Goodnight, mv love, good night! red rose
leaves falling
Fill the du-k with fragrance rich as rare.
Id their swre'.nefs Ori-nt lands recalling,
Wh-re attargul peifume? the l wilight air.
Above us hear the low winds sadly wailing.
As through the dark trees sweeping low they
ptss;
Acii *i h their beauty in the starlight paling
Tail lilies lift their heads from seas of glass.
To-night, my love, the stars in fairest seeming
Are ai-gel souls of pur * outshining light.
Lying far oack in heaven's deep a sure dream
ing.
While the old moon arises still and white.
Id on .ieght halo pas-ion flowers are shining
Through pearlsiew showers drifting far and
i le.
Among the red rose leaves and blossoms twin
ing—
Pale dreams of p isslon in the halls of pride.
Good night! good-night! and in the silenoe kiss
me.
With warm, sweet kisses of pure, fervent
love.
Whispering softly when you're gone you'll
miss me—
Miss my voice and clinging touch of love.
Softly now the autumn uignt is breaihing
Erosian sweets upon the cool night air;
Flowers and dew gems Into garlands wreath
ing,
For sombre earth too pure and pa sing fair.
But what have we to do with light and beauty.
Whore hearts'luds blossomed into strange
despair?
Beneath the joke of dear but galling duty
Bound and chained, how can we think aught
fair?
Good-night for years; the hand of fate is lying
Between us two who sought no more than
this:
To live and love, with love, as life, undying
Fraught with the sweetness of its own first
kiss.
Goodnight! good-night 1 the darkness sweeping
o’er us
May ceepen ere our dawn to death's thick
gloom,
And, through yon starry sphere that shines be
fore us,
Our souls may pass the way that stars il
lume.
Yet, oh: dear heart, hope on for some to-mor
row
Coming to us through overcharging years—
Some perfect ray, wherein no sad eyed sorrow
May come to fill life’s cup anew with tears.
For, love, all clouds across life's heaven drift
ing—
How thick, or dark, or drear, it mat'ers not—
Must break tome time in sudden, glorious rift
ing.
And be iu streams of radiance all forgot.
For love has hope, a star through darkness
guiding,
And ihoutth the darkness reach the grave's
dim nigh'-.
Across the river, clear as all-abiding.
That star wanes, only in a world of light!

The act of 1875, taken in connection with the
fact that its penal prohibitions hav * never been
enforced, presents the anomaly of requiring
the Commissioner of Agriculture to proceed to
stock the rivers of the Bta'e with shad, salmon
and other migrating food fish, while limiting
the expenditure for this purpose to the sum of
five hundred dollars per annum; while on the
other hand the market and other fishermen of
the lower counties as well as from other Btates
are permitted to fish when they please, as long
as they please, and with whatever means and
appliances they may find most effectual In get
ting ail the fish that enter the mouths of the
rivers from the sea. We are told that fish
ing vesrels from other States are permitted
to enter Georgia rivers, stretch their nets so
as to capture every merchant
able fish and send them to distant
markets -out of the Btate—for site, thus de
priving the citizens in the interior of the Btate
and along the banks of the rivers above these
catch-all contrivances of their natural and
just right to a fair share of this bounty of
Providsmce. The law in question provides for
a "closed time”—from sunrise on Saturday
morning of each week to sunrise on the follow
ing Monday—during which no migrating fish
shall be taken. It provides further, that no
shad shall be taken by any means whatever
exqept for f pawning purposes, under the pro
vi< onsof the act) except between the first day
of January and the 81th day of April of each
year. It a'so prescribes the size of meshes of
seines, nets, etc.—they shall net be less than five
laches. We iearn that this law is violated with
impunity in every detail, and calls loudly for
legislative or other action.

On the whole we are a splendid lot of fellows

belong to nobody, are nobody’s fluokey, love
one another and love everybody else that loves
us. and if others don't love us, we don’t care.

Biding on the Platform.
New York Tribune.
The latest published volume from the
Court ot Appeals reports two lawsuits
brought by persons hurt while riding on the
car platforms. In each case the company
contended that the casualty was the passen
ger’s own fault, for he had no right or busi
ness to be riding on the platform, and In
both the court decided In the passenger’s
favor.
I' seem?, then, that platform riders have
some rights. In one of the cases the car
was a passenger car of the New York Cen
tral Road, trundling along one of this city’s
streets, when a “ctreet arab” caught at tbe
steps, climbed upon the platform, and sat
down to enjoy a stolen ride. Tbus the com
pany bad ’he {benefit of the good point in
railroad law that the boy had not the rights
of a fare paying passenger, but was a mere
trespasser who might lawfully be put eff the
train at tbeir pleasure. But tne boy testified
that a brakeman kicked him off white the car
was running about ten milts an hoar,
and that he was badly burt by the fall. The
court said that a pereon stealing a ride may
be put off the train by the company’s ser
vant, but that this must be done after stop
ping tbe train, and In a manner to avoid do
ing any unnecessary Injury. The company’s
lawyer argued that If kicking the boy off
while the car was running was unlawful,
then It was not to be supposed that the
company bad Instructed the brakeman to do
It, but the man himself was the one to pay
damages. The decision was, however, that
ejecting trefpassers from a train Is one of
'hs duties of conductors and brakemen, and
that the company 1* responsible for the
manner In which they perform It.
In the other case the car was a street car
In Brooklyn, and the passenger hurt was a
grown man who had paid fare. There were
vacant seats inside, bnt he rode upon the
front platform because he wished to smoke.
Neither conductor nor driver objected to
his doing so; but by aotne negligence ot the
driver the passenger was thrown off and
hurt. The company produced the common
rule posted In the street ctre: “Passengers
are forbidden to get on or off the front plat
form,” etc. But the judges said that this
did not forbid their riding there, and that,
If It was customary, as witnesses declared It
was, for smokers to ride there, and the con
ductor took this passenger’s fare without
requiring him to go inside, he had tbe right
to consider that tbe company permitted him
to ride where he did.

HAS SHE GONE DOWN!
A COLLISION IN THE BRITISH
CHANNEL.
The Steamer Westphalia Stove lo
iter Passengers Safe—The Other
Vessel nittlnc-Ftari of Another
Ocean Horror.
London, November 13.—‘The steamer
Westphalia, from New York for Hamburg,
has taken refuge at Portsmouth with a hole
In her bow, which, It Is supposed, she re
ceived by collision with a steamer which Is
now off the Isle of Wight, In apparently
serious danger.
Portsmouth, November 13.—The colli
sion between the Westphalia and another
steamer occurred off Beachy Head early
m 8 J n ° r, ’ in K- A boat was lowered from the
Westphalia and sent in search of the other
steamer. This boat is now missing. The
n B L Dh j ,a 18 makin water rapidly. She
will be docked to-morrow morning at day
lifcnt. J
The Impression gains ground that another
great steamship disaster has occurred. Jt
Is believed the steamer with which the
westphalia collided has sunk with all on
board. A steamer has gone In search of
tar. Tbs boat of the Westpha
lia, which Is also missing, con
tained an officer and six men.
It Is supposed that they are also drowned.
I', was intensely dark at the time of the colli
sion Tte Westphalia experienced a heavy
wind and fea while making for Portsmouth.
The Westphalia had ninety passengers on
board at he time of the collision. Besides
a large hole In her port bow extending to
below the water line, there are several
small holes on the starboard bow. The
collision bulkhead was a'ove In. Both the
s’earn and manna’ tilt pumps had been
kept going from 1:30 a. m when the collision
occurred till the steamer reached Ports
mouth this afternoon. The other steamer
could not step. Captain Ludwig dispatched
a boat to try to see some trace ot her. He
gave the officer In charge of the boat In
structions to land after searching. He then
made ready all of the Westphalia’s
boats for launching In the event of the wa
ter gaining and made for Portsmouth. A
powerful government tug has gone to assist
In pumping the Westphalia. The malls
afid passengers have been landed, and will
be forwarded to Hamburg to morrow by the
German Vice Consul. It Is not thought
that the cargo Is damaged. The Westphalia
will be moored aloega de the dockyard for
the night. The wind Is northeast and Is
blowing hard.
The steamer was not seen by those on
board the Westphalia until the latter struck
her.
THE SUPREME COURT.
Regulating Clerk's Fees—An Important
Decision.
Washington, November 13.—The Su
preme Court to-day announced anew rule
regarding the fees of the clerk of that court,
which will materially lessen the cost to liti
gants, where the record of their cases Is
bulky, and will corresDondlngly dimin
ish the revenue of the clerk of the court. It
provides that where the record is sent direct
ly to the printer, only half fees shall be
charged. It has been the custom for fifty
years or more to charge for copying the
record for the printer, but the custom has
grown up of sending the record directly to
the printer without copying end charging
full fees. This custom has been haDded
down to successive clerks, and the new rule
is the result of the recent protest.
A decision was rendered by the Supreme
Court ln\be case of E <za D. Pritchard, ex
ecutrix, etc , plaintiff In error, vs. E X
N >rton, In error, to the Circuit Court of the
United States for the district of Louisiana.
The question presented by this case Is,
whether an Indemnifying bond In the na
ture of a collateral obligation given In the
State of New York by a resident of that
B'aie, and containing no stipulation as to
the place of pavment, Is to have
Its binding force and legal effect determined
bv the law of that State. Pritchard sued
Norton In Louisiana on a bond of tndem
nl'y given by the latter in New York. Nor
ton set up the defense that th* bond was
executed and delivered In New York with
out sny consideration, and that by the laws
of that State bonds given without consid
eration are void This court holds that where
tae place of performance Is not spec’fLd
in a contract an endeavor mutt be made to
ascertain the Intentions of the parties, that,
although the presumption may be that the
obllger has voluntarily submitted himself to
a per Icular local law, that presumption may
be rebutted either by an express declaration
to 'he contrary or by the ract that the obli
gation is Illegal by that particular law,
though legal by aoo'her. The parties
cannot be presumed to have contemplated a
law which would defeat their engagements.
It the present care this court is of opinion
that the bond of Indemnity sued on was
entered Into with a view to the law of
Louisiana as the place for the fulfillment
of Its obiigation, and that the question
therefore of its validity Is dependent on the
charac’er and sufficiency of consideration,
and should be determined by the law of
Louisiana, akd not that of New York, for
error In Its rulings. On this point the
judgment of the Circuit Court Is reversed,
with directions to grant anew trial. Opin
ion by Mr. Justice Matthews.

PARLIAMENT
Arabi’g Trial—The Kilmatnham Treaty
to be Inquired Into.
•
London, November 13 —A dispatch to
the Dady News from Cairo says: “The com
mission of Inquiry preliminary to the trial
ot Arabl Pasha has repudiated the forms of
procedure agreed on between Arabi’s coun
sel and the prosecution. The commission
now Insists that the witnesses cannot be
cross-examined directly, and that the trial
must be finished by Christmas. The counsel
have protested.”
In the House of Commons this morning,
81r Charles Dllke, Under Foreign Secretary,
In reply to a question by Mr. Labr.uchere,
said there was no reason to suppose that
there wcull be any departure from fhe pro
cedure agreed upon by Egypt and England
for the trial of Arabl Pasha.
The speaker read a letter from Mr. Brad
laugh, asking the House to permit him to
state at the bar the grounds of law on which
he claims his right to take bis ssat for
Northampton, for which he was elected.
Mr. Labouchere gave notice that he would,
at the first opportunity, lnove that Mr.
Bradlaugh be heard.
Mr Gladstone said that considering the
prejudice which would arise from a discus
sion cf the motion of Mr. Bourke, namely:
That, the House regrets that after tre un
conditional surrender of Arabl Pasha to
the British be was delivered to an Egvptlan
tribunal, he could not aesmt to Its discus
sion while proceedings concerning Arabl
were pending.
In reply to Mr. Gibson (Conservative),
Mr. Gladstone stated that It was Impossible
to forecast when the trial would begin or
fiulsh. The government, he said, was anx
ious to expedite the proceedings. Arabl
Pi.‘ha would not be executed without the
consent of the government.
Mr. Gladstone stated in answer to Sir
Henry Drummond WolfPthat Lord Dufferin
would conclude no final arrangements with
Egypt. The government business was to
make or to join in making an arrangement
for security and good order, bat It would
do nothing to shut out fq'ure
amendments. The government was now
engaged in conslderirg with Lord Dufferin
the establishment of an institution In which
Egyptians would be represented, and which
would have control over the administration
of expenditures, and until further progress
was made it would be premature to enter
Into the question of submitting arrange
ments to the collection of the Bultan or to
European concert.
Mr. Gladstone moved that the second
procedure resolution be considered.
Lord Randolph Churchill, in moving an
amendment to the reso'utlon, referred to
the treaty alleged to have been entered Into
by the government with the Irish members
of Parliament Imprisoned in Ktlmalnham
jail, by means of which the la’ter were said
to have effected tbeir release.
Mr. Gladstone said that no such treaty
had been made. He challenged the opposi
tion to move an Inquiry on the subject.
Mr. Yorke, Conservative, asked If Mr.
Gladstone would give a day therefor, and
Mr. Gladstone replied, “Yre, at once.”
Mr. Yorke then stated that at the earliest
opportunity he would make a motion for

A DYNAMITE PLOT.
A Mystery at Des Moines.
Des Moines, la., November 13.—A pro
found sensation was caused here yesterday
by the finding of dynamite in hazardous
places at the International Distillery. In
the morning a letter was ncetved by Wm.
Smith, one of the foremen, handed to him'
by bis son, another foreman, which read:
"Mr. Smith: Dear Sir—There are fitiy
pounds of dynamite in the masher. It will
explode at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or a
slight jar will explode it. Notify the men.
but don’t show this letter to any one. This
Is no boy’s p’ay. We mean business. I?
you fo’ltw Ins ructions there will be no
danger to no one when it Is all taken out
but to B bbltt.”
Mr. Kidd, the owner of the distillery,
was not ti-d and a search parly found,
several cylinders of dynamite la the ingrere
and egress pipes of the engine. To dsy the
whole hulldiug was carefully gme over and
nine more packages weighing eight and a
half ounces each were found. V trious warn
ings scrawled with chalk were also fonnd
on the walls. One arrest was made to-day,
and warrants have been issued for others
It seems that Mr. Kidd and Babbitt & Cos.,
the latter owuiDg the mashers and leaving
them to be U9ed on percentage, bad a dis
pute about the yield of the distillery, and
Babbitt & Cos. undertook to remove the
mashers, but the difficulty, It was under
stood, bad been smoothed over. Mr. Kidd
now suspects Babbitt as being in the plot,
and has sworn out a warrant for his arres*.
Ttrere Is a good deal of mystery abcut the
affair, and the end Is not yet.
BURGLARS AT WORK.
A Safe Blown Open at Hot Springs, Ark.
Littlb Rock, November 13 —A special
from Hot Bprings, Ark., says that on Sunday
morning at two o’clock a terrific explosion
was heard In Mcßee, O’Brien <fe Co.’s store.
The policemen who entered the building
discovered that an iron safe had been
blown open, and that the desk,
doors and windows in the rear of
the building were also blown to fragments
and heaped together In a* confused mass.
The glass In the front of the store, eight
feet distant,was shivered and the plastering
in an adjoining store was broken, but noth
ing was ignited. On examining the pieces
of the safe It was found a small hole had
been drilled through the iron and con
crete lining of the top In which evi
dently powder or a fuse was In
serted. Inside of the safe was stored a
quantity of dynamite caps for blasting
purposes, which were ignited and caused
the explosion. The safe contained about
SBOO In paper currency,besldefcoins. city and
county scrip, papers and books. Fragments
of the currency were found, but the force
of the explosion drove several coins ln'o the
adjacent wall. Undoubtedly an stt u mpt
had been made to rob ihe safe, yet the bur
glars bad gotten away safely. No serious
damage was done to the building.
James Barn*, the Chicago pedestrian, and
another man wnose name is unknown, were
arrested to-night suspected of attempting
to rob the safe. Bams Is bruised on the
shoulders, and the circumstantial evidence
against both is considered s’rong.

The Plot Against Judge Lawson—The
Joyce Murderers.
Dublin, November 13 —ln the Queen’s
Bench dlvls'on of the High Court of Justice
to day Sergeant Robinson congratulated
Judge Lawson on bi 6 escape from assassina
tion. Judge Lawson expressel his warm
acknowledgments, and said as the matter
was now before another tribunal he would
refrain from making any comments on it.
During the examination of Delaney to
day the court was crowded with police. De
laney was remanded for a week. As the
revolver found on him Is an expensive one,
the police believe that it was supplied to
him, as his circumetaaces wcu'd not permit
him to buy such a costly article.
Patrick Joyce, one of the men charged
with the massacre of the Joyce famlty at
Maamstrasna,was arraigned for trial at noon
to day before Judge B*rev. Messrs. John
son, Murphy and Peter O Brlen represent the
Crown, and Messrs. George Malley and
Stretch are ccuosel for the prisoner.
Mr. Malley applied for a postponement of
the trial In order to have the venue changed.
This ihe court refused. Mr. Malley then
asked for a postponement on the ground of
surprise to the defense caused by one of the
men accused of the murder having turned
Informer. This request was also refused.
A rumor Is current here that Delaney only
feigned an attempt to shoot Judge Lawson
in order that being arrested he might turn
Informer and obtain tbe government re
ward. _

The Senate concurred in the House joint
resolution as to the election of Senators for
the vacancy, first for the short and then for
the long term.
Toe opposition to Governor Co’qultt Is
hard at work. No election on the first bal
lot Is now expseted.
It Is a sad and singular fact that special
telegram? announce that the infant son of
Hon. A. D. Candler, who defeated Speer,
and the sister of Hon. J. C. Clemente, who
defeated Dr. Felton, are lying at the point
of death.
The resolution to elect the Senator for tbe
long term first crea'ed a lively debate In
the Senate this morning, but was defeated,
and the election for the short terra was or
dered to be billed first. Hon. Pope Barrow
will probably be elected without a joint
session. The opposition have rallied suf
ficiently strong to prevent Gov. Colquitt’s
choice on the first ballot, but not his final
election.
Attorney General Anderson spoke at Rep
resentatives’ Hall to a small audience, and
was introduced by Capt. Robert Falllgant
In a beautifully worded address that was

was accompanied by a delegation of dtlzeDs
of Macon, beaded by Col. Thomas Harde
man. In his speech Colonel Anderson said
he was not a volanteer candidate for Sena
tor, but bad responded to the call made
upon him to allow the nse of his name. He
was now addressing the General Assembly
in response to a similar request. Hts speech
was temperate and eloquent, and was fre
quently applauded.
Governor Colquitt spoke at the Opera
House to a crowded audience, all the stand
ing room belDg filled. The stage was occu
pied by Senator Brown and many prominent
Georgians and members of tbe General
Assembly. He introduced himself, and was
greeted with hearty and general applause.
Without mincing matters be announced his
candidacy and defended his course of
action. Following this came a forcible
and eloquent review of his entire public life.
In which be refuted the charge that he was
a chronic office seeker, and challenged he
closest scrutiny of his offictal acts In any
position of trust occupied by him. Gov.
Colquitt’s friends are insp’red and strength
ened by the grand demonstration given him
to-night. .
Hon. Patrick Walsh and Senator Brown
followed Sn speeches of some length, re
viewing Gov. Colquitt’s recent offi ilal ca
reer, and strongly indorsing him for Senator.
Their speeches were frequently interrupted
with hearty t pplause.

WASHINGTON.
WHERE MR. BLAINE MISSED IT.
Slender Thread* of Hope—The Latest
Bond Projects-Spinner's Double Team
—The Governmnt Clerk-Hard Line* for
Chalmers—A Grim Joke.
Washington, November 12.—The attituie
which Blaine, of Maine, now occupies is rather
peculiar. Blaine, of course, wanted the Repub
lican machine put cut of gear, and was very
anxious that the stalwarts, with Arthur at
their head, should be retired to back seats in
the gallery, an 1 that is about the extent of de
feat that Blaine wanted the Republican party
to experience. He did not want adelnge; he
cnlv wanted a shower that his enemies in the
party might be Compelled to keep indoors. A
shower would have put Blaine forward as the
leader of the half breeds, who had shown that
they aod not the stalwart* comprised the ma
jority of the Republican party. But Blaine
got more thsn he wanted. It is all nonsense
to talk about his beiog delighted
at the result of Tuesday’s elections. On
the contrary he is as much cast down as the
most stalwart of the Radicals. Modest Demo
cratic gains would have put Blaine into a posi
tion ot much solidity. He could have then
played either of two games that he had on the
board. He could have woriced to b-come the
leader of themsj'iriry of the Republicans, with
a hope to 1884; or he could—and he was as
ready for this game a? the other—have played
his cards so that he might b *ble to induce the
Democratic party to taite him up. But both
thes- ambitions are in the air. The half breed
Republicans, it is evident now, ar not in them
selves sufficiently powerful for bitn to expect
the Presidency at their hands; and the Demo
crats are go vividly on the topmost wave that
'hey cannot—sven if they at any time desired
to—have anything to do with fragments of the
Republican wreck in the trough of the sea I
am told by a personal triend of Mr Blaine that
trentleman is fully alive to the situation,
and that he does not for these reasons extract
any joy from Tueslay’s deluge.
THB RECENT REPUBLICAN DEFEAT.
. The oroshing Republ can refeat of Tuesday
la *t still continues the absorbing topic of con
versation in'he departments here. The gov
errrasnt clerk is acurious character. Mercurial
in temperment,evtravagant aimost to improvi
dence. he lives a hand to mouth existence piti
ful to contemplate. He owe? his position to
the influence of some Congressman or Senator.
As long as his “influence” is good bis tenure of
office is pretty secure But when this backer is
relegated to private Tfe or belongs to a faction
not in accord with the administration, than his
troubles begin. There is always a pressurefor
place and the incumbent Is in daily, al rost
hourly, dread of being fo-cedout to make room
for the favorite of someone in a position
to demand it. Under these circum
stances there can be no incentive to
hard work. The clerk draws bis salary
with religious regularity, and give? just as lit
tle in return as he can without laying himself
liable to dismissal. The hours are easy. Work
begins in the winter at 9 a. m. and closes
promptly at 4. They are an hour shorter in
the summer. The average salary for women Is
$75 a month. Quite a runnier are paid $1,201),
and. in some cates. S’,4OJ a year, but the latter
are exceptionally scarce. Few men receive less
than $1,200. They usually begin at that salary.
An intelligent man who attends to business,
and whose “influence” can be relied upon, finds
little difficulty in securing a promotion every
two years. A promotion always mean? an in
crease of S2OO a year: SI,BOO is tbe maximum.
Promotions above that make one ape ty offi
cial. Such officials are known as "chiefs.” They
have charge of a division in some bureau and
the control of a limited number of clerks. The
pay of these chi. fs in the Treasury Depart
ment is $2,100. Above them come the depu
ties and heads of hnreaua, with general sala
ries ranging from $3,500 to $7,000.
There are 15,001 government employes in
Washington. Five thousand are employed in
the Treasury alone. As many more are in the
Interior and the remainder are scattered
through the War State, Navy and Post Office
Departments An indulgent governmental ows
them a month's vacation each year with pay.
There is no stopp ge of salary on account of
sickness so long as i he clerk can produce a phy -
s cian s certifl ate of disability
It will thus be seen that a government cl“rk
sb p is real.v a “sofi.” thing when compared to
similar p'Si'i-ns in other wriks of life But it
r* q tires as much i ft irt to get one as a consu
late Few clerks live within their income. As
a ru'e they are hopelessly in debt, and when
dismissal comes it u?u illy finds them without a
p-nny. It Is for this reason that tbe shop
ueepers and property owners of the District,
m st of h m are Democrats, would view
with real alarm the overthrow of the bepubli
nan party Any tr ing lite a wholesale discharge
of government employes would cans- a local
pa' ic Men who have nothing can pay nothing,
and the loss to the creoitor class could hardly
be estimated.
Breaking to a New York gentleman on this
subject last nigh’( friend of Tilden’?, by 'he
by), be said: “The clerical force of the gov
ernment are needlessly alarmed. Asa mat'er
qf fact, the Democrats could not rfford to dis
charge these men for a year at least. The
majority are trained clerks whose kro v edge
con and not be duplicated in many months of
course there would be cAanges,but they would
be very gradual, and every man would have
ample time to prepare for it uefore it really
came. 9ilden had hts own theoiy about this.
Before it was fully matured be had been chea -
ed out of the Pre.-ident y. and I can’t say ex
actly wbatit was. The idea, however, ns? to
oivide the Democratic party into two factions
on the distribution of patronage Then when
a demand W3B made for certain places he would
say that the other side wanted them and they
must settle the matter between themselves He
would thu? avoid a good deal of embarrassment
at the beginning, and give the poor devils of
clerks a chance to find another position ”
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
There netfer has been a session of Congress
for years at which a whack was not taken st
the public debt The next session will be no
exception to this rule. It is the intention to
attempt tbe funding of the four percent, bonds
into three per cent?. These bonds, which are
not redeemable until 1907. can be converted
into threes at the consent of the holders. There
are now two propositions by which to do this
Tbe fours are now at a premium cf twenty per
cent. Senator Jones, of Nevada, pro ose?
to give S6OO in threes for fSK) in fours
This proposition, however, has the dis
advantage— while it would reduce the
rate of interest—that it would increase
the principal of the public debt Another
proposition which Benator Jones also talks of.
and which is approved by the Comptroller of
the Currency, is to convert the three per cents
into fours upon the basis that the threes would
be at a premium of five par cent. The fours
being at a premium of twenty per cent ,
it is proposed to give the difference, fifteen
per cent ,to the holders In cash. This would
not increase the debt, but would make a con
siderable ioroad upon the surplus revenue?, as
th amount of four per cents, outstanding i*
$739 9:9 600 the reserve can, however, stand
it. This plan will be recommended by the
Comptroller of the Currency in his annual re
port. It is also understood that Secretary Fol
ger will recommend it to Congress. It is a
method that would please the national banks.
Under Its operations they could for 15 percenr.
less than is now required to dep sir. fours to
secure their circulation deposit the new t rees.
That !5 per cent, wou and be a considerable
amount to add to the circulation of the coun ry.
The banks could have that much more money
to lend at a good rate of iatsrest. One of these
schemes, probably the latter, may be adopted
with some modifications. The tendency is thus
more strongly marked to put all the dent at
3 per cer t. And it should be remembered that
when in the last of the Hayes administration
the Democrats passed a 3 per cent, funding
nill over the opposition of the Republican?
that Hayes, at 'he dictation of the leaders of
the Republican pa'ty, actuated thereto by the
big moneyed interests, vetoed that bill. It is
well to remember these little thing?.
A DIFFERENCE.
A prominent officer of the Treasury with
whom I was talking to-day got upon the sub
j-ct-of General Spinner when that gentleman
was United States Treasurer. He said: "You
know at that time one horse and a sort of an
express wagon was allowed the Treasurer’s
office. General Fpinner wanted a two horse
carriage to ride about In. So he bought an
other horse out of his private means and paid
*sl towards the purchase of a carriage The
government paid the balance. Then he was
all right and used to have a verv nice time
ridtng and taking the ladies of the office out
for au airing. Every once and a while repairs
were needed on the carriage. Do you think
they were needed upon any part of it bought
by the General’s sso* Not much, Tae breaks
were a’ways in those portions of the carriage
owned by the government; and the latter paid
for the mending It was a little funny that ir.
should happeu that, way every time,was it not?
After awhile one of the horses w nt blind. He
became useless. Wtiioh horse do you think it
was that went blino? Was it General Spin
ner’.- I Not by an> large majority It was the
government’s horse that was so sffl ct*d."
DIRE IMPUDENCE.
Mr. Webs’er, Chief Clerk of the Treasury
Department, is finicky and consequential. He
hangs on the observance of email things
with as much official requirement as
if the fate of the nation was involved.
It was he who brought about
the set of rules for the Treasury Department
which are ridiculous altogether, and petty in
many of thei' requirements A beaurl ul cony
of these rules adorn the wall in Mr Webster’s
room. He was horrified the day after the elec
tion to discover tht they had been mutilated
The mutilation contained a grim J >ke One'
’portion of th rules reads; "No clerk shall go
out except”—-and here folow the exceptions
Somebody had tikeu a pen and scratched a hat
follows after tne word ‘‘out,’’ thus making the
pronnnclamanto read “No clerk shall go out."
An arrow was inserted after "out” and pointed
t° foot note at the bottom. That foot note
was: "These rules do not a. ply after 18241"
WHAT THEY T A US, OF NOW.
I have stated in previous letters and dis
patches that the Republicans do not now even
make a pretense of believing that their fac
tio s will ever make peace so that things can
be so patched up as to make a decent fl<bt in
1814 against an united Democracy. They admit
that the jig Is up unless the Democrats make
mistakes. What do you think they put down
as the two leading mistakes wnich they expect
will be made to their advantage? The first is
thev hope that the Democrats will elect Ran
dall Speaker of the House. The second is they
hope that following that mistake they will in
1884 nominate Ben Butler for the Presidency.
As there is not much chance of either of these
things being done you can see as by an electric
II ht the utter down hearted less into which the
Republicans have been precipitated.

FORLORN HOPES.
In Which the Radicals are Indulging
Relying for Revivification on Democrat
ic Itlunders—But the Democrats Deter
mined Not to Blunder Radicalism
Aroused.
A special to the Boston Pott from Wash
ington 6ays that there Is a very strong feel
ing there among all parties over the result
or the elections. There are a few repre
sentative people of all shades of political
opinion still to the city, and they have ex
pressed theip thoughts very clearly and wt b
great bitterness. The Democrats of course
are delighted, and begin to talk about their
Presidential candidate for 1884. It is the
general belief that Grover Cleveland will be
a formidable candidate for the nomination
If It shall go to the E tst, but It is doubted by
most of the western and Southern men who
make ud the majority of politicians now
In Washington If New York shall be hon
ored The R-pnblicans who are not
pollticlars comfort themselves with the
hope that It Is an rff y.-ar remit, and
that it. Is due to R -publican stay-at-homes.
The Republican politicians do not delude
thems-lves In any such way. There Is a
good deal of alleged belle? expressed that
tne D mocratlc House will commit folly
that will make certain the election of the
Republican candidate In 1884, and there Is a
pretence of rejoicing In cons- q tence, but It
is half-hearted, for the Democrats call to
mind that, after the tidal wave of 1874 th“
Democratic House that bad Mr. K-rr for
Bpeaker and Mr. Randall for Chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, did not
commit one folly, and that 'be Democratic
candidate for President in 1876 was elee’ed.
Tne Republicans who have known Mr. Car
lisle admit that If he shall be elected
Speaker there wilt be no danger of any
folly.
The hope that the Democratic House will
act indiscreetly, or that Individual Demo
crats will it jure their par*y by lntempera-e
partisanship, is a ’“pretence. In former
Congresses the Republican bloody shirt
orators have been able to m tke pirty capital
by stirring up the Bon’hern membe-s. That
day ia passed, for the Sooth ie break'ncr up
as well as the North. 11 Is no'eworby that
the stalwarts have come to their sen-es, and
are glad of this result. The administration
organ, the National Repub'i-an. ssys In an
editorial this morning: “The North alone
will not again give elf ctorai votes enough
to defeat the Bourbon candidate for the
Presidency. The Bouth must aid.” This is
no* the s>al art motive, and U will put an
end In a great measure to dia’ribes
s gainst the Southern people. The
Republicans have now too m;cy
ex-Confederatee in their own ranks, and too
close alliance with the ex-Confederates, and
as a rule with the worst among them, to per
mit them to assail the whole people, as they
were once accustomed to. But aside from
this, the R-publtcans here recognix; the
fact that the Democrats here will take a
popular stand for the redaction of tsxes and
tariff duties, and that with Mr. Carlisle as
Speaker, the House will be orvanfi-d to ac
complish some good work. Notwithstand
ing the talk of the men who do not see
clearly into the meaning of political events,
the Republican politicians here are ytry
bine. Thev see that their party Is disinte
grating. They know that extravagance
and corruption have turned the peo
ple against them, but this has been
true for some years, and they have
been able to retain their hold on power
by their splendid organ's itlon and discip
line. What alarms them now Is that the
organla itlon is broken. The power to hold
the party together, notwithstanding Inter
nal dissensions, has been lost. The long
existing quarrel between the half-breeds
and the stalwarts has become so intense
that the two factions have b'gun to knife
each other at tpe polls. R ‘publican p >mh!
clans tejfn to fear that the breach can never
be healed. If tta e sralwars nominee the
President in 1884, the half breeds will beat
him, and if the half-breeds succeed in the
convention, the s’alwarts wi>l rev -ge then,
s-ives for yesterday’s work In N-w York"
The fear is that tbe piriy is broken forever"
Already the stalwarts are beginning to
bring out their compromise candidate
Some weeks ago it was announced In these
dispatches that this Is Mr. Robert Lincoln
The hope Is that he will be acceptable to
both sides, because he is really a stalwart
and because he was Garfield’s Secretary 0 f
War. The name was suggested last night
while the returns were being received, to an
influential member of the B'alne faction
and it was at once re jec ed. Perhaps, how
ever, this was because the Bislne m-m were
full of glee last night and would not think
of campromiee with the stalwarts. As the
Fit baa announced more than once during
the campaign Just closed, Mr. Blaine was
desirous of Republican defeat both in New
York and Pennsylvania, and be is gratified.
His friends now throw eff ail disguise and
openly rtjaice over the defeat of the ad
ministration.
Voluntary Tribute of Gratitude for
Beni tl • Received.
Dear Sir— Please allow me the privilege
of giving my testimony regarding the won
derful curative properties of your invalua
ble medicine, Hunt’s Remedy. Daring the
past six or seven years I have been a great
sufferer from kidney disease, and, during a
great part of the time my sufferings have
been so Intense as to be Indescribable. Oolj
those who have suffered by this dread dis
ease know of the awful backache,
and pains of all kinds, accompanied
by great weakness and nervous prostration
loss of force and ambition which iuvariably
attend it. I had all these troubles intensi
fied, and was In such a bid condition that I
could not get out of mv chair except by
putting my hands on my knees, and almost
rolling cut before I could straighten up. 1
tried tbe best doctors and many kinds of
medicine, but all failed to help me, and 1
experimented so long trying to get cured
that last spring 1 was in very poor shape,
and In seektrg for relief my attention was
directed by a frierwi to the remarkable
cures of kidney diseases, etc , which were
beiDg accomplished by Hunt’s Remedy. I
was induced to try it, and began to take it,
and very soon “limbered up,” as it were.
My severe backache and ihe Intense pains I
had suffered so long speedily disappeared,
notwithstanding I bad been bothered with
this complaint so many years.
When I began to take Hunt’s Remedy I
was considerably run down In my general
health, and suffered also from loss of appe
tite. Ever sines I have been taking th t
R-raedy, however, my improvement ba-i
been most marked; my former complaint*.,
aches, pains, etc , have disappeared, and i
now feel like my former self, hale, hearty
and sound in health. I shall always kee >
Hunt’s Remedy with me, and would most
earnestly recommend all those who are sur
ferers from kidney or liver diseases, or dlt -
eases of the bladder or urinary organs 1 1
use Hunt’s Remedy and take no other.
Yours very truly,
Henry H. Sheldon,
No 280 Westminster St., Providence, R I.

ANTI-DYSPEPTIC
FOR COOKING.
Extracts from the Public Ledger,
Philadelphia, October 7.1882.
THE NEW OLIVE BUTTER
18 excellent for frying purposes. There’s
something in a name, but, probably, noth
ing of the “olive” in the butter, except leg
color; but besides being assured bv cheroi ts
that this Is a perfectly pure vegetable oil all
h’ usekeepers who have tried it will agree that,
it 1* extremely economical end makes a very
delicate frying material Here was formerly
the situation In the kitchen over the fry ing
pan: You could take Urd. which was not
cheap, and “used up” very fast; you had but
ter. whir-h, betides being exp-nalve. required a
skillful cook to keep it fr,.m burnir g; or you
could use salad oil, which, though o sting
alarmingly to begin with, required so lltt'e to
do Ihe work that the cooking -chool would tell
you It was like the widow's cruse—it d<d not
seem to lore perceptibly; after frying fifty
oyßterß, the bottle was nearly as full as before
But very few American housekeepers couid bs
brought, by its first expeut-iveoess, to try using
sweet oil, wh ch l the frying material of a t
South Europe. We leave outH the list "clari
fied fat,” or dripping, b -cause there s seldom
enough of this to do the entire cooking witt.,
even with a conscientious person i a the kitchen
who understands bow to save and u*e ic all, at
it should always be In is’ed on. The two best
known veg'table oils that thi< country pro
duc-s are cotton seed oil and peanut oil, both
of which are understood to have been for
years exported to Europe, coming back to ua
In wicker covered fla-ks as Italian olive oil.
Real olive oil from California is too small a
product, as yet, to count much in the home
market. The manufacturers of tbe new olive
butter—which is not butter at all. but a clear
greenish oil—have agreed to give us a home
product, warranted pure without the ocean
voyage; though, to conciliate our ridiculous
Ameri -an prejudices, do n it label it cotton
seed or peanut oil, the former of which It
probably is Anybody who tries it will agree
that it cooks as well as salad oil; sodas ail
vegetable oils heat at lower temperature tbsu
the solid animal fats, it does not burn ar.y or
waste as rapidly as lard. It comes in conve
nient oans. with a mouthpiece, like <he kero
sene oil can. so that you can pour off just the
desired q ianti’v for use, and, after c >okiog
this can oe c irefullv s’raioe 1 and returned to
the can, exc-pt it has been used for fish, when
it must be pu in a separate b ittle and kep
apart f>r this use It has a slightly pui gen
smell when cooking, wbioh is sai i to be entire
ly removed by the use cfa p noh of salt, b t
which is no worse than other fr>i ig througi
the bouse Ti e egg pi inta. oysters, cam or
corn fritters, that are mroed out of olive but

greasicess about them, nor any taste what
