Notwithstanding the Democratic vic

th* m ov tT of “business interests," was
Mtohly healthy but strong in New York,

One of the place hunters at Washington
is William Murrell, who wants charge of
th. House restaurant. lie says ne is a
Stirling colored Democrat, and formerly

the late campaign stumped Ohio for
H adlv. He says he will have the crack
cook of Uh Maryland Club and two French
,t* from New Orleans. He is a native
off Louisiana, and has the solid support of
the Louisiana, Ohio and Maryland dele
gations. If this is the Murrell who was
such a nuisanoe in Louisiana during the
carpet-bag regime, he ought to be set
dawa upon without ceremony.
The Edmunds Bill.
The bill ot Senator Edmunds to lurther
protect the civil rights of colored citizens
was introduced almost immediately after
the Senate was ready for business. It is
dbubtful if the interests of the colored
people will be advanced by this or any ;
other bill of the same character. Since
the late civil rights decision of the L nited
StatesS-upreme Court there have been no
complaints by the colored people that their
rights were denied them. They recognized
the fact that they were no longer the
wards of the government, and that with
respect to the laws they stood on an
equal footing with white citizens. The
effect of this knowledge was to increase
their self-reliance and self-respect. The j
bill of senator Edmunds promises them
little or nothing. If the bill becomes a
law they will have the privilege, if they
think they cannot get justice in a State
court, of transferring their cases to aled
eral Circuit Court, and of appealing from
that court, without giving bond, to the
United States Supreme Court. The ob
jections to the bill are that it is useless,
and that there ought to be no such thing
as class legislation. The colored people
are citizens and there ought to he no laws
which distinguish them from other citi
zens. The bill, probably, is not intended
so much to advance the interests of the
colored people as it is to strengthen the
hold of the Republican party on the col
ored voters. It is alleged that the colored
voters hold the balance of power in two or
three of the Northern States. If that is
the case they are worth looking after.
As tar as the colored people are con
cerned it would be much better for them
if the j>oliticians would let them alone.
They do not need any protection from the
government or from the laws which is not
accorded to white people. What they
want to be made to understand is that
their advancement and improvement de
pends on themselves. In this State they
have no cause to complain of anything.
They enjoy every civil right which any
citizen enjoys. A number of
them* were witnesses before Senator
Blair's labor committee in Columbus last
month. They spoke freely of the present
ent condition and prospects of their race.
They said that those who were honest, in
dustrious and economical not only lived
comfortably, hut accumulated property.
There was no discrimination against them
in business, ana those who worked at
trades received the same wages and were
employed as readily as white men engag
ed in the same occupations. The colored
people will work out the problem of their
future much more quickly and satisfac
torily if the politicians will let them alone-
The Maiining-Chaliners Case.
The Democrats acted wisely in not ad
mitting Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, to a
seat before the Committee on Elections
had made a preliminary examination of
the record in the Manning-Chalmers case.
The case is, in many respects, remarka
ble, and has attracted the attention ot the
whole country. Mr. Manning holds the
certificate of election from the Governor,
and had he chosen to present it to Mr.
McPherson, the Clerk, he would have
been placed on the roll of the House and
would have taken his seat without any
question as to his right to it until the
matter came before the House in the shape
of a contest. The case has so many pecu
liar features, however, and he was so de
sirous of giving his opponent every oppor
tunity to have a fair and impar
tial hearing, that he relused to
file his certificate. He wanted
the Elections Committee to say whether
or not he had a j>rima facie right to a seat
in the House before occupying it. The
merits of the case may not be, and
probably will not be, settled until the lat
ter part of next session. The general im
pression is that Chalmers received a ma
jority of the votes cast in the district.
There was a mistake in certifying the re
sult of the election in one county to the
Secretary ot State. The effect of the mis
take, which couhl not be corrected, was
to make it the Governor’s imperative
duty to give the certificate to Mr. Man
ning. It is understood, however, that
Mr. Manning has evidence to show that
the majority of the votes of the district
were cast for him. If he is able to do that
he will, of course, he able to hold his seat.
The case is certain to attract a great deal
of attention when it is considered on its
merits.
The ways of bankrupt life insurance
companies are devious and dark and diffi
cult to define. W hat becomes of the as
sets of the broken concerns the most dili
gent inquiries of the disgusted policy
holders fail to discover. A well known
Citizen of this city had a policy for $5,000
in the Knickerbocker Life Insurance
Company, which gave up the ghost some
time ago. He wrote to the Receiver to
know what his policy was worth. The
following is an extract from the reply he
received:
Your claim is valued bv the Receiver at $l7O.
But he deduets from this valuation—
For vour indebtedness in premium
notes ._■■■s ®OO
For vour indebtedness on premium
charges <Ol 42
Total deductions $4Ol 42
Leaving the net amount of your claim
only 0 00
And it is on this last sum the dividend will
lie rated. It is not likely to exceed 20 per
cent., or say $OOO.
Nashville is getting such barbarian no
tions that it is requiring saloon keepers
to keep their saloons closed on Sundays.
The compounders of eocktails are indig
nant, and one of the most xsthetic of
them says sueh conduct on the part of
the authorities “is not in keeping with the
spirit of the age and the enlightenment of
the nineteenth century.” Now the per
secuted liquor dealers are going to pro
ceed against the hotels, hack drivers and
railroads for violating the Sunday laws,
and they even talk about prosecuting
ministers who preach for a stated salary.
Sunday tippling has brought Nashville
into disrepute, and the better people of
the city will rejoice that there is a pros
pect of amending, if not destroying, the
evil.

The Sorosis Society is still kept up in
New York, and the other afternoon dis

which shows that the sisters arc not in
sane, as a great many people think. Sev
eral essays on educational subjects were
read, among them one by the distinguish
ed Rev. Phoebe A. Hanaford, on the “Com
mon School Curriculum.” The Sorosis is
getting to be quite a respectable organi
zation since Victoria Woodhull and Ten
nie C. Claflin “left the country for the

The last present Gen. Grant received,
of which there is a record, was $12,000,
which he beat out of Mr. Victor New
comb, the ex-railroad king. The General,
as is usual with him, was feeling around
for pointers, and Mr. Newcomb exjiressed
the opinion that Louisville and Nashville
offered a good chance for speculation.
Grant bought 2,000 shares at par, but, con
trary to all expectation, it soon dropped
to 89. The General notified Newcomb
promptly that he was greatly surprised at
the result of his Investment, whereupon
the latter drew a check for the par value
of the stock, and thus shouldered the loss
above stated.
An effort is being made in Mobile to re

tinguished writer’s induzione and the
ponderosity of her rhetoric.
The Democratic Party Not Sectional.
The efforts of the extreme Republican
papers to make it appear that the Demo
cratic party is a sectional party, because
a Southern man has been elected Speaker,
will hardly succeed. It is true that Mr. Car
lisle received a majority of the Southern
votes in the Speakership election, hut it
was not because he was a Southern man,
but because he more nearly than an>
other candidate represented the position
of the Democratic party on the
tariff. He got very little help
from ihe Eastern States, hut the W est
gave him a handsome support. Mr. Ran
dall got a good many Southern votes. The
vote in the election for Speaker shows
that the Democratic party is not a sec
tional party, or. as some of the Northern
papers call it, a Southern partv.
Nothing would give the Republican pa
pers more pleasure than to be able to sat,
with an appearance of truth, that the
Democratic party is a Southern and a sec
tional party. They would insist that a
Southern man being Speaker the South
would have control of the government in
the event of the success of the
Democratic party in the national
contest. They ' might succeed in
arousing some sectional feeling in
the North by such talk, but the great ma
jority of the Northern people are far too
sensible to lie disturbed by the assertion
that the South is trying to capture the
government. The South is not seeking to
get possession of the government, but the
Democratic party is, and with a very fair
prospect of success. The fact that a
Southern man can be elected to so impor
tant an office as that of Speaker by the aid
of Northern votes shows that the era of
sectional feeling, brought about by the
war, is rapidly passing away, and that
men of ability and character are not to be
shut out from the most responsible offices
in the government simply because they
happen to be from the South. The time
has come when a man’s fitness for the
highest offices should not depend upon the
section in which he lives.
Where They Came From.
The claim having been made that the
great West owes its enterprise and great
development to the fact that a majority of
the people or the Western States are of
New England descent, has put some in
vestigators to work delving in the census
records in order to ascertain the true
facts of the case. There are to-day twice
as many Virginians in Ohio as there are
people from all six of the New England
States, and the Southern States con
tributed five times as much to the popula
tion ot that State as New England, or
the American bom people of Ohio 36 per
cent, are of Southern origin. It will be
seen that the South is pretty well repre
sented, and of course a large part ot the
people are with the South in sentiment.
The proportion is much larger in other
Western States, even extending to Cali
fornia and Oregon. In Oregon half of the
American-born people are from the South,
or descendants of Southerners, and in
Kansas two-fifths.
To Texas, ths phenomenal State of
States, New England has only furnished a
little over 4,000 people, and all the North
ern States only about 60,000, while the
Southern States have sent her considera
bly over half a million. This shows
whether or not Texas owes her great
prosperity to Northern immigration and
enterprise.
Although many thousands of foreign
immigrants have come to America in the
last half century, an overwhelmingly
large proportion of our people are native
born. If we will consider the immense
expanses of wilderness that have been
settled up and grown into prosperous
States In the past sixty years, the asser
tion that we are not a prolific people will
be forever put to rest. Thousands upon
thousands have gone Westward from Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, and yet
with scarcely any influx of people from
elsewhere, the population of these States
has maintained a steady growth. Surely
they are keeping the commandment to
“multiply and replenish the earth.”
CURRENT COMMENT.
Small Choice in Rotten Apples.
.Vetc York Time* (Rep.).
There were 112 Republicans in the House
yesterday who thought it better to vote for
Kcifer than to light over him. Of two evils
they chose the greater.
The Mistake of Honesty.
Philadelphia Record (hid.).
Nothing that one party does ever pleases
t’other. If Mr. Randall had heeu chosen
Speaker by the Democrats, they would have
been accused of “dodging ” Now that they
selected Mr. Carlisle, they are accused of
“blundering.”
Breaking the Breakers.
Withington Poet (Pen*.).
“The Democratic ship now heads towards
the breakers,” says the Baltimore American.
True, but they are peace-breakers, pledge
breakers, Constitution-breakers, and the
Democratic ship is certain to run them down,
unless they speedily get out of the way.
Tariff Reform, Not Free Trade.
Xeic York WorUl (Pern.).
Everybody knows that a senseless t ariff agi
tation would lose the State ot New Y ork, and
that without New York the Democrats are
verv unlikely to elect a President.
But Speaker Carlisle has spoken and his
words set all doubt at rest. The Republicans
may in future hang up the bugaboo of free
trade in the museum of antiquities by the fide
of the bloody shirt.
The Protection Worshipers.
Xeic York Time* (Rep.).
Is protection, then, a fetich? Docs worship
at its shrine deprive men of all common sense
and business foresight? Must a community
that has once accepted it abandon all thought
of change and become forever incapacitated
to accommodate itself to those laws according
to which change is the inevitable condition
and the essential cause of prosperity? It is
sheer nonsense to talk of Mr. Carlisle as a
radical free trader. It is as silly and about
as honest as it was to present him as a rabid
Southerner because he lives in a town just
south of Cincinnati.

not been commenced yet. At Panama there
has been some work done, but the Republics
are quite indifferent about the undertaking,
and, unless the United States lind it to their
interest to stir in the matter it will never be
completed.”
A man in Brussels has contrived a perpet
ual clock. It was started about a year ago,
and is said to have been running perfectly
ever since. An up draught is obtained in a
tube by exposing it to the sun. This draught
turns a fan, which winds up the weight of
the clock until it reaches the top, when it ac
tuates a brake that stops 4he fan, but leaves
it free to start again after the weight has
gone down a little, and thus the power is
stored for keeping the clock in motion. It
will be contemptible to make the sun wind up
clocks that keep standard time.

A novel Russian boat, says the Globe-Dem
ocrat, is a peculiar form of boat similar in
some respects to the catamaran. It consists
of two independent hulls, in the centre of each
of winch is an opening in which the traveler
thrusts his feet. When standing he prope s
himself by the aid of along two-bladed pad
dle, and regulates the distance between the
two boats by manipulating the ropes which
lead from each b"*w to the middle of the pa J
die. When tired he brings the boats alongside ,
one another, places the cross-bars in position, j
elevates bis umbrella for a sail, and thus ;
skims swiftly over the water.

Following the celebrated practice of the
Caliph Haroun A1 Rasehid, the Burgomaster
of Brussels has lately determined to see for
himself how the streets of the city under his
government are guarded by night. Accord
ingly, without giving notice of his intention,
this zealous chief magistrate of the Belgian
capital si'-nt recently an entire night, extend
ing from 10 o’clock in the evening till 5 in the
morning, in perambulating every ]>olice ofli
cer‘B beat. In-sides visiting in the same unex
pected fashion the various police offices and
commissariats. It is satisfactory to learn that
M. Buis found nothing to complain of beyond
an occasional trifling neglect of duty.
Thcse who eat goose may enjoy the follow
ing from the Cleveland Leader: “A German
woman was sitting on a low chair, with a
goose bet ween her knees. In one hand she
held the neck of the fowl, while with the oth
er she was dropping kernels of corn into its
mouth, ‘YVhat are you doing?’l asked. Mak
ing fat.’ was the reply. ’How do you do it?'
‘1 drop in tlie eorn until the goose's neck is
full, and then he goes away and gets fat.’ She
then took the bird and place*! it in a coop. It
was so full it could hardly walk. It seems to
me that is cruelty to animals. The woman
told me that she could fatten a goose in two
weeks, and sell it for $2 50; so you see, it
pays.”
A stone in the graveyard adjoining the old
Concord school house above YVashington lane,
Germantown, Pa., bears the following in
scription: “In memory of Adam Shisler, who
departed this life December the 22*1,1777, aged
969 years.” It is easier to read the inscrip
tion than to lielieve that Mr. .Shisler lived to
the age ascribed to him. The explanation is
that the stonecutter made a mistake in mark
ing the stone, giving the man's age as 96 in
stead of 69, which it reallv was. To correct
this the “9” was filled with cement and an
other figure cut after the “6.” But time and
frost loosened the cement, and now the once
olditerated ligure appears as distinct as the
others.
The Archbishop of Canterbury lately
preached a sermon which lias excited great
attention, and in some quarters surprise. He
dwelt in trenchant language on the want of
sympathy between classes, and openly as
serted hi's dread of what would be the result
of the hate engendered among the lower by
the indifference of the higher. It appears
that his language had special reference to the
indifference shown to the state of the poor
around them by the rich city people who go up
to London to business from points within a ra
dius of thirty miles of tlie metropolis, and
show not the slightest interest in the affairs
of the parishes in which they live. Clergy
men holding livings in such places give ample
confirmation to the primate's words.
The following is an extract from a letter
from one of the crew of the ship Samoa, post
ed at St. Helena on October 25; ‘-YY'lien we
reached Anjer what a sight met our eyes!
Anjcr all gone; notone living soul left; the
land on both sides as white as snow, covered
with ashes: trees all dead—a fearful sight!
YVe were ordered to atop anil heave to by a
Dutch man-of-war. A small boat camo to us
and kindly took our letters. For two days
after passing Anjer we plowed through
masses of dead bodies, hundreds and hun
dreds striking the ship on both sides; groups
of 50 to 100 all packed together, most of them
naked, and such an odor! It was awful! YVe
also passed bedding, chests and a number of
white bodies, all dressed like sailors, with
sheath knives on them. For 10 days we went
through fields of pumice stone. I have a quan
tity of it on hoard. YVe had a pleasant pas
sage around the Cape of Good Hope; no gales;
in fact, not wind enough. I hope you will see
us home the first week in December.”

• Indianapolis Special.
The Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, in an
interview upon the election of Mr. Car
lisle, says:
“I am greatly pleased over the election
of Mr. Carlisle. He is a safe, conserva
tive man, who does not hold extreme
views.”
“What is his position on the tariff ques
tion?”
“He is in favor of a tariff for revenue,
and in favor of such protection as that
tariff gives to the industries of the coun
try. He is not in favor of an immediate
adoption of free trade, but in favor of
tariff reform, the reform to be made with
out damaging the business of the country.
Tariff for revenue, with incidental proba
tion, expresses it. There is no question
but that in reforming the tariff there must
be an accommodation to the business of
the country, so that no disasters may fol
low.”
“Mr. Carlisle’s position is, therefore, in
accord with your own?”
“It is.” *
“Is it the position of the Western De
mocracy?”
“It isl”
“Is there any connection between the
election of Mr. Carlisle and the Demo
cratic victories since 1880?"
“Mr. Carlisle’s election is due to the
same causes that brought about those vic
tories.”
“Then, if the Democrats in 1884 should
go into the Presidential campaign upon a
platform in harmony with Mr. Carlisle's
position on the tariff, do you think they
would win ?”
“I most certainlv do.”
“What is Mr. Carlisle’s attitude on the
question of taxing liquor and tobacco?”
“He is in favor of maintaining the taxes
for the present.”
“What about the Republican cry that
Mr. Carlisle is a Southern man?”
“I think the time is past for bringing
into the consideration ot a man’s worthi
ness for position the matter of the sec
tion in which he may chance to reside,
more particularly when the man in ques
tion was a union man during the war, as
Mr. Carlisle was.”
“The Democrats have, then, thrown
down the gage of battle to the Republi
cans on the tariff question?”
“They have. That is to say, the Demo
crats are opposed to protection for the
sole purpose of protection.”
