The Now York Herald, not long sinoe,
wrote the obituary of tho Democratic
party. Tho sopient editor who composed
tho artiolo must bo convinced it is tho
livost dead organization whioh has ovor
been known iu history. It has captured
thirty-five oleotoral votes which tbo lte-
publicans enfranchised to forovor bold as
thoir own. It has won tbo Uonso of ltep-
resentatives, and threo years hence is
certain of the Bonato. It has
jnst defeated ono of the most malignant
ltopnblican Benators, Bargcnt, in Califor
nia, whoso place is to bo supplied by a
good Domocrat who knows something of
tho Constitution and loves his whole
country. It has mado n ltepnblioan Pres
ident adept a Democratic platform, and is
as oortsin to win the next Presidential
race as tho sun is to shine. It
has lived from tbe foundation of
tho Government, and to-day despite of
intrigues and cabals is stronger than it
has over boon. There is not tho loast in
dication of decay. If, bowovor, there be
a played out ooaoorn, it is ltepublioan-
ism, the basis by whose formation is the
bloody shirt, bate, prejudice and section
alism. Its loadors have been beaten at
every turn, and they have boon forced
defend fraud at every
step, end tho best of it is their
obosen candidate has gone back on them.
It is really pleasant to think how signally
they have been overcome and foiled with
their own weapons. The entire colored
vote is solidly against them. This is too
good. They want now to take tbe ballot
from the froodmen, but tho Democrats
liavo the power aud will prevent it. The
ltopublicans may howl, but they cannot
help thomsotvos. The fiat hps gone
forth that sectionalism must die, and its
last vestige will disappear with the Re
publican party.
Tbo enemy have carried Maine. He is
weloomo to it, but how about California't
Tbe Democratic party, the only national
ono, won a United Btates Bonator there.
This brilliant viotory will count in tbo
Ohio campaign. Tho Democrats Btand a
good chance to win a Bonator there, and
it is very probablo Morton will be left in
Indiana.
Why, it is tbe livest party of the day,
and swooping everything before it. We
liko snob dead organizations. If they be
lifeloss, why do our opponents squirm so
when viewing tbe corpse V Mr. Hayes
must think it has vitality, and Bargent, of
California, doubtloss conours with him in
opimon. Bpencer, Dorsey, Connover,
West and therrest hnvo the ssmo corns
plaint on the brain, and aro puzzled by
tho startling conundrum, that if tho Dem
ocratic party is dond, huw doos it happen
that they are kiokod out of tho Bonato to
givo way to Democrats? It cortainly ap
pears that it is tho Republican party whioh
is dying.
I’OSTAl .SAVINGS* HANKS*.
Muny of tho papers of tho North, lod by
the Now Yotk HtraUl aro advocating
thorn. The many fnilnres in Now York,
Chicago nnd othor placos through tho
criminality of olUcors and employos have
ouusod a general enquiry ns to what plnco
a poor mnn can plnco bin savings that
they may bo necuro. Those bnuks aro
said to bo firmly established in England
where tlioy aro vory popular. Of courso
nothing oru bo ullectod without action of
Congress. It is proposod to limit
tho deposits, and as thoy iuorarso, bavo
small government bonds in whioh tho
depositor oan invoHt, if ho chooses, and
go on with his savings. Thoro has boon
groat mistrust of suvings institutions of
lata, owing to freqnont failures, and thin
plan is suggested ns a method to obtain
socurity. The proposition seems to bo
warmly approved in the londing oilion,
and it is vory probablo it will be strongly
urged on Congress, end may bo adopted
by that body. ,

Chaudlor, as President of that committee,
says they shall not re.iigu, and
refuses to aooopt their resignations.
He has their letters in his hands,
but doolinos to trko notice of thorn by
calling for now nppointmonts in tho
place of tho rssiguiug members. If the
membors want to givo up thoir Federal
offices they oan do it; that is none of
Mr. Chandler s bns'uoss ; it is a mattor
between the office-holders sud Mr. Hayes.
But tho Miohigaudor is president of tho
Republican parly, and it is his duty to
look after that party's national oommitteo.
lie has no special affection for Mr. llayos,
aud ho does not intend to allow turn to

Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, has
written a letter on Col. Soott's proposi

means of solving tho labor question. The
Judge thinks this would uot be a remedy,

with grim humor suggests that it would
bo bettor and cheaper to chargo the Na
tional Treasury with fair wages to em
ployes and let tbe ooiporntions have the
fruits of their labor as dear gain.

—WHAT IS THE MATTER ?
Philadelphia, September 6, 1877.
Wo woro asked onoe by an Atlantese,
who was formorly from Columbns, to givo
our impressions regarding Atlanta and
hor peopla. We replied that Atlanta and
her pooplo remindod ns of gamhlerB.
While thoy quarreled among themselves
they wero always nnited in “going for"
outsiders, and not till after tho outsider
had been squeezed did they commence
fighting each other. Atlanta is always at
war. As we passed through last Monday,
we found a big fight going on over the
“Stannton girls.” The female schools in
Staunton, Va., begin thoir softBions in
September, and all the railroads wished
the honor nnd profit of oarrying the
young ladies. Tho Ait-Lino and Kennes
saw routes were the main rivals. The
Kebnesaw was detained an hour and a
half waiting for the Augusta train to come
in, this route having sent a sleeper to
Angustn for tho accommodation of the
Augusta girls. The Kenuesaw had agood
list, bnt an Air-Lino attache told us to
“jnst wait till to-morrow, and we'll show
yoo a crowd that will skin ’em.” The
Air-Lino is a pleasant routo, and faster
than the Kennosaw as it is about 130 mile B
shorter, bnt by railroad combinations
nothiDg is gained by tho shortest die-
tanoe.
Wo had tho good fortune to travel with
a pleasant party end unitedly took obser-
vations.and discussed the whom,what,,
of our fellow pessengers. All Boris of
people travel on a railroad, and an old
stager like onrselves can give a pretty
good idea as to whom and what
the fellow travlers are. For in
stance, a oonple, a few Beats in front of
us, is an old married conplo. Thoy have
been married at least twenty years. Each
oocupy their end of the seat. Bee how
they lean away from each other, the man
has been all day noddiDg over a newspa
per, the woman trying to get a nap, bnt
without snooess. Very little oonversa-
tii*i has ocoured betweon thorn, the
woman, tired and worried, ocoionally
essays to speak, bnt is soon retired to her
oomer by a few short soutonoes from hor
lord.
Tbe oonple in the seat in front are
newly married. It is hot hard to discover
this fact. For two hours tho man has
been trying to get his companion to go
to sleep. He has one arm upon tbe baok
of the seat. His hand oooasionally slides
oil' the soat and gently rests npon her
shoulder, thon bo gently draws her to
him, as innob as to say, “Come, rest on
this bosom.” His other band is fondly
playing with tho rings on bar fingers, and
if you wifi notice him oloBely you will see
him overy now and thon givo hor band a
squeeze, hhe at tbo same timo looking
lovingly into bis face and in an almost in
audible whisper says “don't.” Thon Bho
kinder straightens horsolf upand punishes
him for his impudonoo by pinching his
cheek or by giving his chin an nffeotion-
ato shako with her unengaged hand. Their
hoods get closer and oloser togethor until
they toaoh.nnd tho pair are oblivious to all
around, when suddenly some envious old
maid, or sonrod old baohelor disturbs the
oouplo by “ahem,"aud finding they aro
obsorved thoy regain their original posi
tions. Tho woman blushes nnd pulls
down her voil, tho man givos bia hat a
tug ovor his oyoB, end folds his arms, hut
live minutes wifi find thorn repeating
their love scenes.
Jnst opposite to us is an interesting
quartotto, comprising a mnn, woman, a
negro girl nnd a bnby about a year old.
Wo romombor the man and woman as
traveling oompnnions two yonrs ago.
Then thoy wero on a bridal tonr. Now
they aro toking littlo “Bub" to the
springs. Ho iB teething, and n change of
olimate ia nccossm/. The women nnd
man alternate in ts’king baby-talk, nnd in
slinking tho “ory" ont of littlo “Bub."
Then tlio negro girl stioks a bottlo to tbo
young one’s month, and finally tbo littlo
follow goes off into an unensy sleop. Mn
and Bn whisper to ono another for a
fow minutes, (hen leon off from
oaeli other and pretend to be
asleep. Suddenly “Bub" gives a yell,and
Mn and Pa ronse themselves suddenly nnd
mnke a grab fer the young one. Ma suc
ceeds in getting possession, and gives tbe
youthful him some lively jumps up and
down. The obild, being ont of breath,
oeaHOs its squalling, when (be bottle is
brought into reqnisition, and soon tbo lit
tlo fellow goes off into another nap.
There are many other fellow-travelors
that we would like to spoak of. We
would liko to tell who that old bald-head
ed fellow with a turkey gobler look, who
ia seated by a care-worn woman, appar
ently forty years of ago, and who bos been
working hard all day trying to keep three
noisy boys from pitching ont of tbe car
window. We would also like to desoribe
tbe young man that talks so much, and
the man who baa traveled; also the two
yonng ladies seated behind old “Tnrkoy
Gobler," who are no doubt his daughters,
and bavo for hours been oarrying on a
ilirtation with a oonple of oadpts, bnt we
won’t.
We arrived in Philadelphia two houra
behind timo. Did not get orr baggage
for 15 hours after our arrival. We are
Btopping at tbe “Colonade Hotel,” a nice
place. Met our old fi'.eud, Mr. John
Mollhenny, who has devoted two days to
showing rs the sights, wl' ! ch we will try
and do up in orr next.
We forgot to mention that we one day
counted eleven babies on the train, only
ono of whom wrs no-sod by its mother,
tho other ton being nourished from bot
tles. What ia the matter ? Have our
women “gono dry,” or is it only not fasli-
ionablo for mothers to nnrse their yonng ?
Hadn't wo men, who expect to be fathers,
better look into this mattor and see if
something cannot be done to re-establish
nature nuil have the young of to day
nursed in tbo old-fashion way—by their
mother. Grand Pa.
YOUNG JOHN PATTERSON.
OWENS, THE SOUTH CAROLINA
SENATOR.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DEAD COUPON
SWINDLER—HE MAKES A CLEAN BEAST OP
IT AND TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT
STEALING.
Ex-Btato Senator Y. 3. P. Owens, who
died in Baltimore a few days ago, and
thus ohoatod the penitentiary, waa a roya-
toring blade. A woek or ten days before
bia death, bo was interviewed in Now
York by a reporter for the World. The
interview speaks for itself.
Senator Yonng John Patterson Owens
is a native of Sonth Carolina, and a Re
publican. He was oonnected with the
Patterson wing of the Repnblioan party
in Bonth Carolina since the year 1865, and
knows all of the ins and onts and crooked
ways of the men with whom he has been
aasooiatod. In appearance Senator Owens
is as yet a young man, on the shady side
of thirty-five, tali in stature, rather deli-
oately built, and yet poeseaeing an air of
pbyaioal firmness seldom found In one of
his build and appearance. He wears a
small side whisker, and a most prodigions
mustache. Hia eyes are of a bluish tint,
and his hair of s dark brown. Perhaps
this slight sketoh may now have its uses.
Tbe reporter OBked the Senator whethor
or not it was trnethatex-GovernorMoseB,
at present a witness for the Btste, having
turned State's evidence, bad his name
upon his list as one of the planderers of
Booth Carolina.
“No, sir,” responded Benator Owens.
“I never in my life reoeived a bribe from
Governor Moses or any one else. What
ever mqney I mode, I made it oatside of
tbe Legislature. Yon see, sir," he con-
tinned, “I have been State Benator from
Lanrens county ever since emaneipation.
I formerly served in the First Bouth
Oarolina Cavalry. They say I deserted.
Well, I don’t d^uy it, I did desert. When
I went home to Lanrens after the war I
was oalled a scalawag because I joined
the Repnblioan party and soared in nil of
its viotories in the Btate of Booth Caro
lina nntil tbe day of its disbandment,
immediately subsequent to the inaugura
tion of Governor Hampton. I drove my
fast horses and may have spent consider
able money on my friends, bnt Governor
Moses never paid me one cent, direetly
or indireotly. You bet 1 They are work
ing Frank Mobos pretty lively jnst now,"
continued Senator Owens, “bnt let them
work him. If he had never transgressed
he would not be obliged to protect him
self. A big thief ? Why, of course he
was. We all knew it, bnt wbst oould you
do ? He controlled everything, and held
full sway. There is no donbt that be
and his acoomplioes robbed the State of
millions."
"Benator,” interrogated tbe World re
porter, “who do yon really oonsider tho
greatest thieves among those who have
been aooused of stealing in Bonth Caro
lina?"
“Woll, sir, if yon desire me to name
the men whom I believe benefitted most
by Republican legislation, I believe them
to be Boott, Moses, Cardozo, Chamber
lain, Parker, Nash, and that notorious
rasosl, Tim Hurley.”
“What do yon think of Chamberlain,
Benator ?”
“Well, like all the other Northern men,
he dosorted tbe Southern Repnblioans in
tbciir hour of trial and danger. Whitte-
raore, Chamberlain and all of that class of
Northern or army Republicans left tho
State as soon as they oould. Chamber
lain wsb smart enough to sell his honse,
however. Yon bet. Yon Bee, he was
formerly s Captain in the Tenth Massa
chusetts cavalry, and as soon as tbo war
ended he siarted raising cotton on one of
tbe sea islands, bnt finding it unprofitable
ho turned his attention to polilios,became
Attorney General, end afterward Gover
nor. Did ho have anything when he
started in? Why of oonrse not. Who
said so ? Whittemoro waa Chaplain of a
Massachusetts regiment. Well, he's gone
too. Gleaves, the former Lieutenant
Governor of the State ? Yes,he's cleared,
nnd he's smart enough to keep away.
Yocum, the Treasurer of Chester County?
Yos, he’s gone to Canada. Woodruff and
Jones, the Btate printers? They made
money, of course they did. But bow aro
yon going to prove it? By implioating
Democrats? Oh, no 1 The Democrats
are too smart for that, and yon oan rest
assured that whou that time oornes the
Committee of Investigation won't press
thorn too hard.”
“What do yon think of tbe personnel
and character of tbo investigating commit
tee lately appointed by the Senate ?"
“Well," replied Senator Owens, “I
don't think they intond to do muoh. Yon
see, they made Benator John R. Coohran,
a Republican, the chairman of the oom
mittoe, and tbo longer thoy sit in session
tbo weaker will beoome their verdict. The
depreciation of Booth Oarolina bonds jnst
now, so that they can be purchased for b
song, and sola two years henoo at par or
nenr par. I think this is the objeotof the
men who obtained the appointment of
that committee. The State jnst now is iu
competent hands and is doing well. I be
lieve Governor Hampton to be a good,
honest men, bnt I ’hink that be haB had
advisers. Yon see, General Mart Geary
ia kicking already against Butler, of Edge-
field. Hampton is surrounded by too
many firebrands. That’s the trouble, sir,
yon bet.”
“Senator, why do they call you “Nar
row Guage Owens?”
“Well, sir, they oall me Narrow Gnage
Owens because I always kicked against
any hill that I saw a job in.”
“Bnt then, Benator, they also state that
you were finally persuaded to vote for
these very seme bills.”
“Well, supposing I did." replied Bena
tor Owens; “t i|■ using I did ? Who said
that I got any money ? Eh ? No, sir, I
did not. I have money. Of oonrse I
bavo. So has Senator Pa. erson; bo has
Governor Oban herle’u. By the way, I
thiuk Patterson is an elegi it fellow.
They are after him, too; bnt he is too
smart, he is! He ain't going baok to
Bouth Carolina, my yonng friend. Yon
ought to have been in Lanrens Court
house last eleetion day, and heard
tbe citizens, about one hundred strong,
marching sronnd singing, We will hang
John Owens to a sour apple tree. They
did not do it, however. When em I go
ing baok ? Well, I oan't tell yon that.
Y’on see it’a summer time and I’m sum
mering. This last expreaaion, especially
the last syllable, was accompanied by a
men/ twinkle of the right eye, whioh
means in words the Senator's favorite
expression. Yon bet! Unabled to ob
tain any farther information from Sena
tor Owens, owiDg to a disinclination on
bis part to give any of bis friends away,
so to speak, tbe World reporter withdrew,
not. however, nntil he bad reoeived tho
following advioe from the Senator for
Lanrens: Look beah I don't yon go and
blow mo up in the papers. Remember,
I aint said a word agin anybody. Yon
bet.
The reports that Benator Morton waa
improving are denied. It ia now deolared
that he cannot reoover. Hia father, grand
father and brother all died with paralysis,
a disease with whioh his sister ia at this
time afilioted.
And now thoy say that Ben De Bar's
death was brought on by the exoeseivo use
of s so-oalled hair restorative, whioh re
sulted iu tiraiu disease from the action of
the lead oontained in tha mixture.
A Rebel Flag for Nemmes.
New York Times, (Rail.)]
The Raleigh (N. C.) Obterver prints the
following: “Lady de Uooghton—whose
husband. Lord Ilonghton, was a reoent
visitor to this oountry—during tbe last
days of the Confederacy, with the aid of
a bevy of high-toned dames, mado a large
and beautiful Confederate flag, richly em
broidered, of silk and satin, intending it
as a presont to Admiral Bemmea. Cir
cumstances prevented its transmission
nntil tho fall of 1873, when Mr. Appleton
Oaksmith, of Carteret, sent it over in the
Tronbadonr to Beanfort. Upon his return
homo by steamer in January following be
sent it by express to tbe late Admiral,
who returned the following lettor. It will
be of interest to the Sonth to learn merely
of the graceful tribute, while to the irre-
ooncilnbles of the North it bears evidence
that one whom they regarded as an arch
traitor bad givon up tbe struggle forevor:
. Modile. Ala., Jan. 14, 1874.
Mr. Appleton Oaksmith:
Dear Sir: I bave reoeived the flag by
express in good order and condition, for
which I owe you many thanks. Should
you meot Lady de Houghton next sum
